568 Leverage the foundation of the Red Army
Facing the silent dick, Wang Yougen continued to roar: "If you don't speak, you won't..."
Speaking of this, a smile full of sarcasm quickly appeared on Wang Yougen's face and said to his second son: "You have been a Red Army for so long. You must have heard of the invincible national defense force, which is well-known in the world..."
Seeing the second nodding by default, Wang Yougen sat directly in front of the second child and said, "Since you know the National Defense Forces, I will talk to you well."
"The eldest son of the neighbor's old man joined the National Defense Forces through the selection a week ago and became a new recruit in the National Defense Forces."
"Do you know what the National Defense Forces gave to the Old Wang family after the eldest son of the old Wang family joined the National Defense Force?"
"The settlement fee of a full 100 yuan afloat. In addition to the settlement fee, the old Wang family can exempt 500 kilograms of grain tax every year during the years when his son joined the army. In addition, during the responsibility of the National Defense Forces, they can receive six yuan afloat military pay every month. After the recruits' term, they can receive eight yuan afloat every month. If they are lucky and are promoted by the superiors, they will receive more military pay every month..."
"Also, after joining the National Defense Forces, even if they die on the battlefield, Lao Wang can receive a one-time pension of one thousand oceans from the National Defense Forces. If they are injured on the battlefield and have to be discharged from the National Defense Forces, the National Defense Forces will not only issue a compensation, but also arrange a decent job for them..."
"You said, where can you find such a good treatment? Can you get such treatment in the Red Army?"
For the soldiers at the bottom of the Red Army, they did not have such a noble belief. There is only one reason to join the Red Army, that is, they will no longer endure hunger and give their families a way out.
Now, what the National Defense Forces did directly give everyone a good life they had never thought of. From this point of view, the National Defense Forces is much better than the Red Army. Because many of the things that the Red Army promised to everyone are empty words, but the National Defense Forces have really done it.
Under such circumstances, he did not feel that belonging to the Red Army. At the same time, he began to envy the son of the Wang family as his father said.
Because, I can't get everything my father said just now in the Red Army.
As for the various beautiful lives that political commissaries at all levels in the Red Army promoted to everyone, in his opinion, it was almost illusory. As long as it was not taken, it would never be his own. However, the National Defense Forces, which had always been vilified by the Red Army, did what the Red Army had not done. After all, the current situation of their family members was truly in his eyes.
Slowly, a look of longing began to appear on the second child's face. Although it was not very obvious, Wang Yougen still saw it.
Seeing this, Wang Yougen's face suddenly showed a hint of joy.
The appearance of this expression on the second child's face shows that the second child was bewitched by the Red Army. The poisoning was not deep and there is still hope of salvation.
Wang Yougen, with a look of anticipation, quickly took advantage of this opportunity to continue saying: "Second, I won't hide it from you. This time I asked you to come back for only one purpose, and I advise you to leave the Red Army without any hope."
"Although we don't have the hope of joining the National Defense Force this time, there is still a next chance. In addition, I heard that the town is recruiting workers and building railways. Not only does it take care of food every day, but it also has a 20 cents salary. I mean, you go to the town to register for the railway construction first. Although it is not good to be a soldier, after all, there is a 6 yuan per month, and it is not dangerous."
Seeing my father looking at him with expectation, he thought of the salary of six yuan a month, which is 200 kilograms of wheat. The second child hesitated for only half a minute and nodded in agreement.
He replied to his father: "Dad, I listen to you...but if I can't return to the army at the specified time, I will be regarded as a deserter. I am worried that the Red Army will cross the river and catch me..."
Hearing the second brother worried, Wang Yougen said with disdain: "Just the Red Army's broken guns, they dared to come to Shanxi. It's not me that they were bragging. Before they even crossed the Yellow River, they were wiped out on the Yellow River by the National Defense Army's iron ship. You don't even look at what guns the National Defense Army is holding. Unless the Red Army has taken the leopard courage, they will not dare to come to our Shanxi at all."
"Don't worry, after dinner, I will take you to the village chief, divide the land for you, and let the National Defense Force protect us."
The Red Army stationed on the Yellow River front, especially the Red Army troops that had just added some new recruits in Shanxi, began to see soldiers leaving the team after the National Defense Forces recruited soldiers. However, because this phenomenon had just begun, it did not attract the attention of superiors, and it was simply treated as a deserter incident.
However, when the top leaders of the Red Army gradually realized that this was a conspiracy against the Red Army, it was too late to regret it.
Of course, these are all later stories.
At this moment, in the increasingly prosperous Hejin, in order to ensure that Shaanxi's crude oil energy sources are continuously transported to Qingdao, a railway connecting Hejin, Linyi and Taiyuan has officially broken ground.
Although the National Defense Force has hundreds of thousands of prisoners built railways everywhere, these prisoners were all scattered in the Far East and Outer Mongolia, which had a very harsh environment. In the eyes of the National Defense Force, the lives of these prisoners were far less valuable than those of the Chinese. If they were put in the Far East to build railways, they would not feel heartbroken even if they starved to death and froze to death.
As for the better environment in Guannei and Northeast China, all railway workers are composed of Chinese people, which can not only relieve pressure from local governments, but also give local people more ways to make money.
As for the railway that started construction in advance, it is another way for Li Guosheng to increase the income of the people on the front line of the Yellow River.
Not only that, by building the railway in front of you, we can also attract many people from Shaanxi Province, so that they can know that only by following the National Defense Forces can they have a good life and further shake the foundation of the Red Army.
Among the road construction army with tens of thousands of people in front of me, at least two thousand people came from Shaanxi. They were introduced by relatives and friends on the east bank of the Yellow River, and Shaanxi people who wanted to earn money to support their families here.
When the black long railway was extended step by step towards Linyi, tens of thousands of workers' daily wages were also distributed to everyone without a single milligram of deduction.
Huang Chengzhong, as an ordinary Shaanxi man, just wants his family to live a good life and have a meal every time.
After the Red Army arrived in Shaanxi, although Huang Chengzhong's family was divided into dozens of acres of land from the landlord's family, due to the barren land in Shaanxi Province and the large amount of public grain from the Red Army every year, the hard work of the year, the harvest of dozens of acres of land was at most to maintain the whole family's food and clothing, ensuring that the whole family was no longer as hungry as before.
But no matter what, I finally had hope and was full of gratitude to the Red Army who distributed the land to me.
However, as the National Defense Force on the other side of the Yellow River began to carry out land reforms in Shanxi Province, abolished all harsh and miscellaneous taxes, and the news of unified grain taxes reached his ears, Huang Chengzhong's gratitude to the Red Army was immediately replaced by anger.
The people under the jurisdiction of the National Defense Army on the east bank of the Yellow River do not have any other taxes except for paying 50 kilograms of grain per mu of land each year. Calculated based on the family of five and forty acres of land, even if the harvest of one mu of land is only 300 kilograms of wheat, the whole family can still earn 10,000 kilograms of grain.
Apart from the family’s annual rations, the family’s family will have at least 5,000 kilograms of grain left after a year of hard work. If it is changed to the ocean, it will be a total of 150 yuan.
The Red Army that occupied this place, on the surface, claims to be the "people's soldiers" and is headed by the interests of the people everywhere.
However, after a year of hard work, except for the necessary food for family members, almost all the food was confiscated as public food, and there was no left at all.
How could such an obvious gap and comparison not make Huang Chengzhong angry?
However, no matter how angry he is, he has no choice. After all, the Red Army has a gun in his hand, and he is just an ordinary citizen at the bottom and has no right to speak.
The only thing that made Huang Chengzhong feel lucky was that he had a good family and a good government where the family was located.
Under the introduction of his in-laws, Huang Chengzhong was lucky to become the first batch of workers to build the railway.
After ten days of hard work, he saw that the foreman in his hand had just handed out two dollars of ocean wages with a trace of warmth. The excited Huang Chengzhong pinched his arm hard until he felt the pain, and he realized that what he saw was real. He really earned two dollars of ocean wages in ten days.
You should know that in Shaanxi, where the land is barren, I may not have two oceans left after working for a year. But in front of me, I could easily earn two oceans that I could not earn in a year after working for only ten days.
Huang Chengzhong, who wanted to share this joy with his family at the first time, immediately found the foreman and asked the foreman for two days off to go home.
The man from Shaanxi in front of me was very enthusiastic and he had been told by the foreman from above for two days of leave without hesitation. Not only that, the foreman also promised Huang Chengzhong: After returning home, he would recruit a man from Shaanxi, and the construction site would give him half a piece of ocean introduction fee. Before leaving, he generously cut two kilograms of pork from the construction site canteen and took him home.
With two pieces of money hidden close to his body, and carrying two kilograms of pork wrapped in oil paper, Huang Chengzhong embarked on the road home with a look of uneasiness.
"You are the head of the family, aren't you working on the other side? Why are you back? Is the government not giving us wages..." Huang Chengzhong just walked to the door when he saw his head stretching out from the door, his face turned yellow and thin, revealing his helpless wife and children everywhere.
After waved his hand, he looked around mysteriously, and after confirming that there was no one. Huang Chengzhong quickly walked into the yard and closed the door tightly with his confused eyes. Then, he opened the oil paper wrapped in two kilograms of pork, and said to his wife, whose eyes were suddenly shining, "What are you talking about? The National Defense Forces are so good to us workers..."
After saying that, he pointed to the pork on the table and showed off: "You saw these two pounds of pork. This was cut by the foreman himself before I came back... The child was still standing there, why did he do it? He immediately divided half of the pork and stewed it, so that the children could also eat meat and supplement nutrition. When I was eating, I still had good news to tell everyone..."
In this poor family that has only one or two pieces of ocean surplus in a year, pork can definitely be eaten only during the Chinese New Year, and all the lards in their mouths are oil residues that have been refined.
Therefore, the pork that Huang Chengzhong ate when he returned home was definitely something that the whole family had never eaten in their lifetime.
Looking at the child who was covered in oil around him, Huang Chengzhong found that he seemed to have a new goal and earn money with the National Defense Forces so that his family could eat pork every day.
After the meal, he drove all the children out. Huang Chengzhong mysteriously took out two pieces of water that had been warmed by the body temperature and handed them to his wife. He looked at his wife with puzzled and surprised eyes and said, "This is my ten-day wage. Please keep it. When we save enough money, we will marry a wife for the second child and exchange the thatched hut for brick house..."
"So many..." the wife asked incredible.
"Of course, you don't know that the government on the in-laws is so kind. No matter what you do to help the government, the government will not let us do it in vain. They will give us wages. But if we don't work to the Red Army here, we will not only have no wages after working, but also have to pay public grain. I built a railway on the railway across the river. Not only can I eat meat every day, but I also have 20 cents of wages. The government will not deduct a penny, and I will pay it every ten days..."
Seeing his wife's expression of disbelief, Huang Chengzhong continued, "I don't know if I don't go, but you will know the difference only after I go. Do you know how much land our in-laws have allocated, and you only need to pay more grain tax every year..."
"Tell you, my in-laws told me all these things... Our in-laws are so awesome now. The whole family of five has divided a total of 40 acres of land. Every year, we only need to pay 2,000 kilograms of grain to the government as grain tax. All the remaining harvests are subject to their own control."
"I probably calculated it for my in-laws. In a year, my in-laws can collect at least 10,000 kilograms of grain..."
"In addition, the National Defense Forces on the other side of the river not only distributed the fields to the in-laws and reduced the grain tax. They also provided free grain seeds and oxen to the in-laws. I also heard from the in-laws that the government will send you free items called fertilizers in the next few days. After scattering the fertilizers into the fields, the yield per mu of land can increase by at least 50%. At that time, the in-laws' income will reach 15,000 yuan a year."
Hearing this, my wife's pale face and thin face were shocked, but she was envious of her in-laws.
After hesitation, he asked tentatively at Huang Chengzhong: "Master, should we move to the other side of the river as well..."
Huang Chengzhong shook his head and sighed: "You don't have to think about moving it over..." My in-laws said that the land on their side has been divided. Even if you move it over, there will be no land to be distributed to us..."
"Besides, now I can work on the other side of the river and earn six yuan a month, which is enough. In addition, before I came back, our foreman gave me a way to make money. Now the construction site is very short of workers. The foreman asked me to recruit people here. When a Shaanxi man was pulled over, the foreman gave me half a yuan of introduction fee..."
"Please give me a total of the total, where can we go to recruit people for the construction site..."
For the wife in front of her, the six-pound ocean is also an income she had never thought of before.
So, just in a daze, my wife accepted this fact.
After thinking about it, he said to Huang Chengzhong: "The head of the country is not a busy farming world now, and there are men in our village. However, we can't call anyone who participates in the Red Army in the village. After all, this is for the National Defense Forces on the other side of the river. We must be careful..."
"You are still thoughtful..." Huang Chengzhong agreed with the answer.
Then, he said to his wife: "Damn, I remember that none of our relatives participated in the Red Army. If you want such a good thing, you should first get our own relatives. In this way, I will go to the child's second uncle's house immediately, and then to his uncle's house. Anyway, I am idle now, so it's better to go out to work and earn money..."
After a long period of hunger, few people can stand the temptation of the ocean.
It took Huang Chengzhong only one day to force fifteen people to cross the river to work with Huang Chengzhong. Not only that, among these fifteen people, there were three Red Army members.
According to Huang Chengzhong's Far East idea, he did not intend to take them across the river. However, after receiving their repeated assurances, he would keep it confidential, and for the sake of his neighbors, he agreed to take them to build the railway.
My own men go to build railways to make money, and the women who stay at home are not idle...
During the chat with each other, the land policies and tax policies, which were brought back by Huang Chengzhong, were more eased than the Red Army of the Red Party, spread rapidly in the local area like a plague, and were swept across Shaanxi.
Huang Chengzhong here is just a small piece of the National Defense Forces’ layout in Shaanxi. On both sides of the Yellow River, there are at least thousands of such wives. Under the temptation of the ocean and a better life, he has become a free propagandist of the National Defense Forces step by step.
In the 021st Division of the Linyi National Defense Forces, the division commander He Shiyan was excited to report to Li Guosheng a series of progress in his layout of the Red Party.
"The chief steward, a total of 10,000 tons of fertilizer has been distributed to households with the assistance of soldiers and used in the fields. If nothing unexpected happens, the local people will see the harvest in the latest four months..."
"The progress of railway construction is also very rapid. Attracted by the monthly salary of 6 yuan, Shaanxi people on the other side of the Yellow River are like wolves smelling bloody smells, joining the railway construction army."
"According to the latest statistics, the total number of palace people who built this railway has reached 20,000, of which 15,000 are from Shaanxi men on the other side of the river..."
"Our intelligence personnel scattered in Shaanxi Province also sent back the first good news: under the free publicity of thousands of railway workers, our land policies and tax policies that are better than the Red Party Red Army have spread completely among the people in the lower class of Shaanxi. Not only that, under the influence of our low grain tax, many local people have begun to refuse to hand over public grain to the Red Party Red Army..."
"In terms of the army, influenced by our army's generous military pay and welfare benefits, many Shanxi people who joined the Red Army to enter Shaanxi have fled back to Shanxi through various means, and the preliminary count has exceeded 500."
