Chapter 842
This Peninsula War added seven red plaques to the door of the Wang family. But there were also five officers for the Wang family, five officers with great prospects.
It's not logistics like Wang Ran, except for Wang Yi, the others are all front-line combat troops. I just don't know if they will be as lucky as Wang Ran. Not only can I return to my country, but I can also stay at bJ.
It was also in this year that many things happened. The first thing that is closely related to Wang Wenwu's life is the appearance of the ticket.
After the reform began, the peasants' enthusiasm for production was mobilized, and in a peaceful environment, agricultural production recovered rapidly, and in the following two years, grain production increased significantly. By last year, it had exceeded the highest level in history, and at the same time, the economic recovery was almost complete.
Although grain production has increased, the food supply still cannot meet the food demand, and by the summer and autumn of this year, there was the first large-scale food supply crisis. The causes of this food crisis are complex.
There is a contradiction between supply and demand, which means that the total problem of "not enough food" has not fundamentally changed. First of all, the long-term war has caused serious damage to agricultural production and heavy taxes, which have had a historical legacy.
The second is the start of large-scale economic construction, a large number of rural people have migrated to cities and towns, resulting in a large increase in the population of cities and towns, industrial and mining areas. In addition, in order to meet the needs of the country's economic construction, the areas where cash crops are grown have expanded, and those farmers who grow cash crops or livestock areas have also become the "net demanders" of food.
Finally, there has been a large-scale famine this year, which has reduced food production, and at the same time, people in the affected areas need relief food.
But in Wang Wenwu's view, in fact, grain production has not been completely transformed into food supply. Although grain production has been increasing for several years in a row, because the peasants used to be hungry or semi-starved for a long time, they are now able to eat enough, and the rural areas are consuming more than before.
In addition, the peasants generally have the mentality of reluctance to sell the surplus grain in their hands, mainly because the long-term hunger in the past has given people a strong sense of crisis in storing grain and preparing for shortage, and of course, there are still some people who try to wait for a higher price before selling.
Under the circumstance that peasants are generally reluctant to sell surplus grain, the amount of grain purchased by grain stores does not meet the expected plan, the sources of grain supply are insufficient, and the demand of people in need of grain in cities and towns continues to increase, and grain stores are faced with the problem of buying less and selling more grain. At present, many grain stores are queuing up for food.
Some grain merchants have also found that state-run people who buy less and sell more, and who want to pursue profits to death, how can they give up? So they took the opportunity to hoard speculation and raise the price of grain.
They buy surplus grain from the peasants at a price higher than the state-run purchase, or buy state-run grain, then hoard it, and when the state-run grain is out of stock, they sell the grain at a higher price than the state-run one, and make a profit from the difference.
However, after seeing that the state-run enterprises were out of stock and the price of grain in the market was rising, the people in need of grain followed the trend and rushed to buy grain, further aggravating the grain supply because they were worried that the grain supply would be cut off or that the price would rise even higher in the future.
In such a situation, a solution was quickly introduced. There are three main points.
First, in the rural areas, grain is purchased from surplus grain households, and the peasants who produce grain should sell the surplus grain to the state in accordance with the types of grain purchased, the purchase price, and the quantity purchased by the state, in addition to paying the public grain.
Second, for the urban people and the rural people who lack food, the policy of planned grain supply, that is, grain rationing, should be implemented.
Third, it is forbidden to deal in grain freely.
The first city to implement the food plan supply is naturally bJ as the first good city. In the beginning, only flour purchase certificates were issued, and residents purchased flour with vouchers. Since then, a number of other cities have also issued food stamps.
Wang Wenwu knew that this was the beginning of everything, and in the following year, with the adoption of the same policy as grain for oilseeds, cotton, and cotton cloth, therefore, oil stamps and cloth stamps were also issued, and the combination of grain stamps, oil stamps and cloth stamps marked the official arrival of the ticket era.
In fact, it all started only because of the extreme shortage of materials, the supply of daily necessities exceeded the demand, and there was a famine in many places. In such a situation, it was necessary to quickly introduce a ticket-based rationing system in the major cities, with quantitative control of necessities on a person-by-household basis. Maybe the first set
Thinking that the ticket system was just a stopgap measure, waiting for the economy to improve and then canceling it, but the economic situation has never been good enough to cancel the ticket, and the shortage has been serious.
As for the other thing, it has to do with the house. China can't wait to build one factory after another. As factories were built, the increase in workers required more housing.
In the beginning, there were still many empty rooms in Beijing. In the courtyard, a family can also settle in one or two rooms. Slowly, there are not enough houses, even if not without new ones. It was only later that the Korean War began to be used more in the war.
The red plaque at the door of Wang Wenwu's house helped Wang Wenwu block a lot of trouble. At least recently, people from the street government have come to the door to mobilize, as other households have done. But Wang Wenwu felt that that day was not far away.
Wang Wenwu divided the courtyard where he now lives into four parts. Two of them were given to the children of the two new aunts, who also took the opportunity to stay in the Wang family.
Another one is Wang Wenwu himself and Anastasia, and the other is the name of the children who have not been separated separately. Most of these people are still on the peninsula! I don't know if they'll be left in bJ.
In addition, Wang Wenwu laid off most of the servants in the family. It was all recruited by Wang Wenwu after settling down in this courtyard again. Only those who had planned to flee with Wang Wenwu were left.
Many people were dismissed, except for Wang Wenwu. All of them have to help with household chores. There's no way, who made Wang Wenwu's family too big. Without so many people, it can't work at all. Fortunately, some heavy work does not need to be done by Wang Wenwu and others, which can be regarded as good news.
The servants resigned a lot, and the guards in Wang Wenwu's hands were not like the servants at home. It's a cut.
These people have the ability and the courage. Although Wang Wenwu has always thought that he is good to these people, he takes good care of them. But what this man thinks in his heart, who can guarantee it?
But Wang Wenwu doesn't need so many people now, in order to ensure that they are loyal to him. In addition to giving money, Wang Wenwu is giving money. Or Wang Wenwu's escort team, they are a group of mercenaries, it is not an exaggeration.
The reason why Wang Wenwu has always been able to command like an arm is that in addition to money, there is also a large number of combat consumption personnel.
After one battle, you can live, two, you can also live, three, you can still live, but can you guarantee that you will live every time? As long as a person dies, Wang Wenwu will naturally sit back and relax.
Another point is that in addition to the captain of the escort team, Wang Wenwu tried his best to ensure that there was no one in the team who responded to every call.
But now that there are not so many needs, so many people, I may be able to afford it for a while. But for a long time. Wang Wenwu knew in his heart that such a situation could not last long. He had to find a new way to maintain the loyalty of these people to him.
Wang Wenwu has always known that loyalty maintained by force and money alone is not reliable. An orphan like Wang Yongcheng, who was adopted by himself, is a good candidate.
Judging from the facts at present, Wang Wenwu's step is very right. The degree of loyalty of these people who came out of the orphanage funded by Wang Wenwu to Wang Wenwu. In general, there is no need to think about the mutiny.
It's just that Wang Wenwu thought at that time that he didn't plan to stay. Therefore, when Wang Wen was about to go overseas, the orphanage planned to deal with it, but unfortunately it never found anyone willing to take over. The rest of the time waits for no one, and the things in the orphanage are not clear. And the man vanished.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Shaanxi to take Beijing City. The orphanage has not reached the point of running out of ammunition and food. Among Wang Yongcheng, there are not too many complaints about Wang Wenwu.
But even so, Wang Wenwu had to find a way to put these people in his sight.
When such an old system was broken and the new one was just established, Wang Wenwu was given a lot of convenience. Thanks to Wang Wenwu's emphasis on education. Wang Yongcheng They can not only read and break sentences, but also learn a lot when they follow Wang Wenwu to do things.
Of course, how to clean up the guns, install explosives, these don't count. It can be used as a skill, such as driving, calculating the ledger, sending and receiving telegrams. There are also a few who cook often, and the craftsmanship is also good
。
Although it is not as good as those who have learned the art from a serious teacher, it is much better than a country chef who can cook a few side dishes. Mainly compared to those country cooks. Wang Wenwu's escort father traveled north and south and saw food in many places. There is no shortage of things, and there are opportunities to practice. It's just that some small skills and skills of cooking can't compare to those who have learned the arts, and they have become a system.
bJ has built a lot of new factories, and there are also many stores engaged in joint ventures. Wang Wenwu rented the upside-down house at the gate of his house to Wang Yongcheng. Let him have quite a reasonable reason to live in his own home.
Of course, Wang Yongcheng also has his own job. Wang Wenwu put some thought into making him a postman, and on weekdays he walked the streets and alleys of Beijing to deliver letters, contacting the members of the escort team scattered all over the place.
As a result, Wang Wenwu was very uneasy in his heart. Because the connection between himself and the escort team can only be conveyed through Wang Yongcheng, if he has a different heart.
Wang Wenwu has always known that human nature cannot stand the test. Don't put your humanity to the test. At present, judging from a short period of time, Wang Yongcheng is reliable. The rest of the team is also very reliable. But how long can this last?
A year, maybe two years. But what about ten years from now, twenty years from now? Can Wang Wenwu still command these people?
Wang Wenwu himself can't say it well, but he is powerless to change. Except for a few hidden lines in his own escort, the rest can only be left to time.
