Chapter 33 Arrangement of Veterans
Through this auction, Wang Mingyu built the foundation of the entire Independent 18th Army in an instant. However, what he needs to do now is to carefully screen and then gradually form the real main force of the 18th Army. If the rest of the people are willing to retire, Wang Mingyu will naturally give a good compensation. If they want to stay, they can also engage in different work in various aspects such as the logistics of the troops.
Anyway, Wang Mingyu would never ignore these people. Although a considerable number of these people were eliminated from several field armies, they not only obtained the weapons they wanted, but also reduced their burden. To be honest, even the Chairman was a little disappointed.
After several major field troops left, the chairman said embarrassedly: "Mingyu, I feel a little uncomfortable when I ask you to do this every time! Although it is capitalist money, in fact, I also know in my heart that capitalist money is not so easy to make."
Wang Mingyu smiled and said, "Chairman, what are you saying? I have no other meaning. This requirement is what I ask myself, and veterans also have the advantages of veterans. Many veterans have very rich combat experience. Now is a relative peace period, and we are trying to solve some problems between these veterans and disabled soldiers. I just made a role of throwing bricks and attracting jade."
The chairman smiled and said, "The country has just been established, and it is difficult to move the troops now! It is not that I don't want to lay off the ground, but that many of them are veterans with military merits. The problem of layoffs is very difficult!"
Wang Mingyu knew this. It is inevitable that if the country has just been built, it will inevitably make people feel extremely disappointed when doing such a thing as unloading the grind and killing donkeys. And what can these veterans do now? They are born with miserable origins, and even their ability to fight is tempered in actual combat.
If you ask these veterans to go to war, they may be fine, but if you ask them to develop skills, they may not be able to do anything even if they kill them. Therefore, the issue of resettlement of veterans has always been a big thing hanging over the heads of the bosses, the chairman and others.
Although Wang Mingyu is forming a new army, he has actually diverted a small group of veterans or disabled soldiers. Of course, how many people can be like Wang Mingyu? The whole of China is just Wang Mingyu, so the headache-inducing problem at this time is basically impossible to solve.
The chairman smiled and said, "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Now I have no use for these problems. This time I will give some benefits to several major field troops! But I believe that Lin Biao and others will not be too embarrassed for you this time. You helped them both a lot, and they did not give much effort at all!"
Wang Mingyu said: "Chairman, there is actually no way to resettle veterans and these disabled soldiers! Although the country is in a mess now, it is even more necessary to use people. Many factories are about to start construction, or have already started construction. I think letting these veterans learn a little systematically and make it a good choice in all walks of life."
The chairman nodded and said, "I have considered this issue, but after all, millions of troops are not just diversion!"
Wang Mingyu smiled and said, "I still have another idea, but if this idea is not good, Chairman, don't blame me! Of course, I just said it casually!"
The Chairman said: "If you have any solutions, just say it. If you say something wrong, just treat it as if we are discussing the problem. No one can do things 100% correct. If there are any mistakes, you can discuss them in time, and you can avoid making similar mistakes in the future. If it is really a good method, it will benefit many people."
Wang Mingyu nodded and said, "Actually, my method is very simple. The country is now established, and many places are short of food! Isn't our army doing production now? In fact, we can change our thinking, such as contracting these land to these veterans or disabled soldiers, and letting them plant land with their homes, and the country can collect a certain proportion! In this way, they have land and they can also be at ease, and the country can quickly develop and utilize these wastelands."
The Chairman pondered for a while and actually, this method was indeed a good method, but the Chairman felt that the land was so easy that it was nationalized and leased out now would not make the country like a big landlord? This is contrary to the original intention of socialism!
However, the Chairman also knows that land has always been controlled by the state, and everyone cannot do without land. So although it seems inappropriate now, this problem is actually very realistic. Farmers need land, but land cannot do without people.
The chairman said: "Is it a bit inappropriate to rent out? I think we can change our thinking. All classes plant land, but they do it in the form of calculating centimeters, rather than renting it out directly!"
Wang Mingyu also knows what it is to calculate centimeters. In fact, this makes it easier for some people to take advantage of loopholes. Wang Mingyu said directly: "Chairman, your method is a good method, but there are still some disadvantages. Of course, I am not saying that our peasant brothers are not honest. In fact, people are all kinds of people. Some people are hardworking, so naturally some people are lazy! For example, one person collects 800 kilograms of wheat a year, while the other person only has 400 kilograms of wheat, but both of them spend the same time. In the end, the person with 800 kilograms of wheat can only be counted as 600 kilograms! So will this person who can get 800 kilograms of wheat be wondering, isn't it the same as him?"
The chairman frowned. Obviously, some of the questions asked by Wang Mingyu could not be answered. In fact, Wang Mingyu pointed directly at the selfish side of human nature. Although everyone really wanted to enter socialism directly and make equal distribution, this was unfair to many people. Such an unbalanced mentality would appear, and eventually the phenomenon of people being overstated will appear.
The Chairman said: "The question you mentioned is correct, and it is true. If I really follow my method, this situation may occur! But I don't think the issue of land lease is very suitable! I will discuss this issue at the Politburo meeting, and I can't decide this matter alone!"
Wang Mingyu nodded and said, "Well, this is responsible to the people. I just put forward one of my suggestions. The Hundred Schools of Thoughts are in the Controversy. I believe that comrades will definitely have many constructive opinions!" (To be continued)
