Chapter 193 The Red Merchant's Generosity
Then He Daqing asked about what he saw outside this morning.
"By the way, Zhuzi, I went to the market to buy vegetables this morning and saw the street government staff promoting the Victory Discount Bonds on the street.
When I came back, I saw Dapeng, Xiaoyu and others driving a car with many comrades out of the city.

What are they going to do?"

“Go to the countryside!

Isn't it true that the State Council's power at the grassroots level is not enough?

Therefore, all the districts and counties outside the city applied for support from the Peking Military Control Commission and sent work teams to do propaganda work.

Our Shichahai side is connected to Mentougou side,
The mission of our branch is to transport and protect the comrades of the street government's work team."

He Yuzhu said that Ye Dapeng and his team were going to the mountainous area of ​​Mentougou.
He Daqing was quite surprised.
"Going out of town?

They have to pay attention to safety in the greenhouse.
It's not like inside the city. Who knows where the bandits and spies are hiding on the hills, ready to shoot you at any time.

If you are not careful, you will lose your life!"

As the battle on the front battlefield was raging,
Throughout 1949, the State Council simply issued orders to order the bandits, bullies, and roving bandits entrenched in various places to surrender.
Although there is some effect, it is not too much.

On January 1950, 1, the State Council issued an order to march toward U-Tsang, heralding the end of the war.

But most of the troops are now in a long period of rest after more than a year of fighting.
It is not yet time to launch a campaign to suppress bandits.

So now, not only in the southwest, but even in the capital of Beijing, there are still a considerable number of stubborn elements hiding in the mountains outside.
However, due to the powerful garrisons around Peking, they did not dare to move out on a large scale.
But the attack He Daqing mentioned is not impossible to happen.

This is also the reason why Lin Zheng didn't let He Yuzhu go out.

However, the leaders above were not unaware of the situation outside the city, and they had made full preparations when assigning tasks.

"Dad, don't worry.

The leaders of the Military Control Commission are all veterans of war.
When assigning the task, they not only arranged enough manpower and weapons, but also brought mortars.
Those stragglers outside the city dared not touch the work team's tiger whiskers.

And don't forget, this is Peking, there are so many troops stationed around, it's really possible to wipe out a small group of bandits!"

He Daqing had heard He Yuzhu say before,

The Public Security Bureau is different from general functional departments such as the street government. It is a violent organization and is even considered a military unit.

In addition to the most common light weapons seen by patrol teams on the streets,

There are also a lot of heavy machine guns, mortars and the like.

Since He Yuzhu said that Ye Dapeng and his team had made all the necessary preparations before they set out, the key point was that his son did not go with them on the mission.
He Daqing didn't ask any more questions about this matter.

Not long after, Yi Zhonghai and his friends walked into the courtyard, chatting and laughing.
Hearing the noise in the yard, He Daqing lifted the door curtain and looked outside, then asked,
"Old Yi, what are you talking about? Why is it so noisy?"

Seeing He Daqing sticking his head out of his house, Yi Zhonghai said with a smile,

"The steel mill has abolished the body search rule today. From now on, we workers will no longer be searched after get off work.
Do you think this is a good thing?

The State Council had just taken over the private factories of those unscrupulous merchants in the city, and immediately abolished the body search rule.

You think so much about us workers, shouldn’t we be happy?”

As for the body search system that Yi Zhonghai mentioned, even if He Yuzhu had never worked at the steel mill, he knew what it was.

to be honest,
In fact, when workers get off work, there are special men and women who search their clothes and bags to see if there are any things from the factory hidden inside.

The purpose of doing this is to reduce the losses of the factory.

However, these copycats are basically relatives of the factory owners. They treat the workers badly and even speak abusively to them. In order to support their families, the workers
I can only swallow my anger and have no way to resist.

It is a disguised form of personal insult and is totally inconsistent with the spirit of equality for all advocated by the State Council.

Now is different than before,
In the past, they were afraid that Daxia's economy would be turbulent and affect the war on the front line.
But it's different now,

Not only were the bald men driven to remote corners, but most of the industries and businesses in the city had also changed hands.

After the State Council had gained absolute control over the economy, it was not afraid of any trouble from the remaining private industries and businesses.
Naturally, random body searches will no longer be allowed.

So He Yuzhu also understood the joy that Yi Zhonghai and his friends felt after all the hard work.

Because this is indeed something to be happy about.

After talking about the copying system, Yi Zhonghai asked about the situation of the White Widow, and then talked about the Victory Discount Bond.

"Zhu Zi, I heard that your branch also participated in the publicity task of the discounted public debt.

Didn't Director Lin assign you any tasks this time?"

"No, it's not peaceful outside the city right now.

There are too many lurking stragglers.
I'm just a non-staff member of the branch, so Brother Lin naturally won't let me take risks.

By the way, Uncle Yi, has the publicity team visited your steel mill? Is there anyone in the factory who wants to subscribe to the discounted bonds now? "

When He Yuzhu asked this, Xu Fugui next to him immediately said excitedly,
"Yes, Pillar.
Mr. Lou was the first person in our steel mill to subscribe to this discounted bond.
He said that 12 points of the Rong family in Songhu supported the Executive Yuan, so he subscribed 12 points. He did not have that much power, so he could only subscribe 5 points to support the decision of the Executive Yuan. "

As soon as Xu Fugui finished speaking, the Yan family next door also poked their heads out and confirmed with a look of shock,
“5 points!

Lao Xu, you just said that Mr. Lou subscribed for 5 discounted points.
I remember the notice said that the State Council would issue 2 million Victory Discounted Bonds this time, with a total value of 1 million yuan.
If you calculate carefully, 5 points would be equivalent to 3 yuan in cash.

Mr. Lou is too rich.

No wonder some people in Beijing are saying that he is Lou Bancheng.

It seems that I made a lot of money last time I worked with the State Council to crack down on those grain speculators."

When I heard that Yan Bugui didn't use RMB, he kept talking about so many dollars.
He Yuzhu didn't find it strange at all.

Although the State Council banned the circulation of silver dollars as early as the end of February last year,
In July 1949, when the Central Finance Committee first proposed to issue bonds, the name used was not discounted public bonds, and the unit used was still RMB. The total amount issued was 7 billion.
But after that, the amount of RMB issued became terrifying.
The issuance amount at the end of July was 7 billion yuan.

By the end of September, it had reached 9 billion yuan.

By the end of October, it exceeded 10 trillion yuan.

In early November, it rose directly to 11 trillion yuan.

Although the Central Finance Committee won the battle of rice and cotton in early December and stabilized prices,
But the RMB has become extremely worthless.

Therefore, when the bonds were officially issued, their name was changed to discounted public bonds, and the unit of calculation was changed from RMB to "fen".
Only the total value of issuance remains unchanged.
In July, 7 billion RMB could be exchanged for 2400 million yuan in banks.
Today, 2 million “points” are worth 1 million oceans.

Of course, the Lou family is now called Lou Bancheng by those who like to gossip, which is actually just a general among the short people.
The richest speculators in Peking all went bankrupt.

The Lou family, who made a fortune with the Executive Yuan, are now naturally the richest group of people in all of Peking.
