Chapter 163 12 Golden Tokens
He Yuzhu started the truck and got into the driver's seat.
Then they followed Nanluoguxiang, Gulou East Street, and Dongzhimen Inner Street, meeting up with trucks coming from various places along the way, and lined up to pass through Dongzhimen and come out of the city.
When passing by the steel mill, Xu Damao suddenly stuck his head out and yelled,
"Dad! Uncle He! I'm Xu Damao, I'm here!"
After shouting, he turned around and looked at He Yushui, Xu Zhaodi who were excited, and He Yuzhu who was driving.
"Did you see?
My dad and Uncle He are also cleaning the steel mill entrance!"
"I saw it, I saw it, Brother Damao. I saw it when you called me dad just now."
"That's right, brother. I saw dad and Uncle He too."
Hearing the excited words of several people, He Yuzhu just turned his head to look at them, then concentrated on driving while saying,
"I was driving the whole time and didn't see it.
Do you want me to let you guys go here and let you go to find my father and Uncle Xu at the steel mill?"
"No, no, I don't want to go look for Dad. I'll just ride with you, brother."
"I won't go unless the rain goes away. We need to take a car today."
After the two sisters finished speaking, Xu Damao curled his lips, then put his legs on the platform, and then rested his head with his hands, and said leisurely,
"I'm not that stupid!
It would be so nice and relaxing to go out of town with you.
If I go to the steel mill, my father will definitely ask me to help clean up, and I will be a fool asking for help! "
After saying that, Xu Damao turned and looked at He Yuzhu.
"By the way, Zhuzi, where are we going? Why are we at the steel mill?
I remember when the whole city was cleaning up in March, all the garbage in the city was used to fill the trenches outside the city!
What is the military control committee going to do this time?"
“Build the road!
I have never seen such a large convoy of vehicles heading towards Shunyi after leaving Dongzhimen. The Military Control Commission is planning to use the garbage in the city to pave a road from Beiping to Shunyi.
After driving forward for a while, the convoy stopped.
Waiting for the truck ahead to unload.
After waiting in line for a while, He Yuzhu and his team were at the front of the convoy.
Then we saw countless PLA soldiers and workers holding various tools appearing in front of us.
Driving back to Shichahai with an empty car,
After walking around and collecting some more garbage, I returned to Maoer Hutong.
He Yuzhu saw that the neighbors were doing nothing and were surrounding Li Hongying, asking her what was going on.
"What are you doing surrounding Director Li? Hurry up and pack the garbage. If you keep piling it up, it will be too high."
"Pillar, don't be anxious.
Let's ask Director Li about the food issue.
It's already November now, and it's going to snow heavily soon. We are still short of food and coal.
If you don't ask clearly, you won't feel at ease! "
Hearing what they were talking about, and knowing what they were worried about, He Yuzhu smiled and said,
"I said, why are you panicking?
Salaries will be paid soon this month, and I will go buy food after I get paid.
If you spend all your money at once, you won't be able to make money quickly! "
“We also know that
Director Li just said the same thing.
But if the price of food keeps rising, money will be lost too quickly. If you get sick, you will have no money at all. I feel anxious! "Hearing that they are still thinking about saving money for medical treatment, He Yuzhu said,
"I say you are really not satisfied,
Last year’s wage increase could not keep up with food prices, and many people starved to death. You all forgot about it when truckloads of people were leaving the city to plow through the streets!
This year's wages are paid according to the actual unit wages, and there is no shortage of food, so at least you are not starving.
Besides, if it really doesn't work,
If you can't solve the problem, you can't solve the person who created the problem.
The State Council is on the side of the common people. At worst, they can just confiscate those speculators, and the grain prices will go down.”
People always make comparisons. If people are starving to death, of course having enough food is the most important thing. Who cares what those businessmen do?
As for whether we can live a good life in the future,
For most people, life is good as long as no one in the family is starving to death.
"That's right. The State Council is different from the Executive Yuan. They are our people. The worst that can happen is that we can just confiscate those speculators."
"It seems to be true. If the person is gone, the problem will be gone too!"
"Work, work!"
As trucks transported the city's garbage out, the roads and convoys extended little by little towards Shunyi.
On the evening of November 11th,
He Yuzhu had just finished a day's work and was about to leave when Lin Zheng suddenly came to the car class.
"Zhu Zi, don't leave yet. I just received a mission. You and Da Peng are going to Dongzhimen Railway Station to pick up some stuff tonight.
Work harder tonight.
You can take a rest tomorrow during the day, and let Lao Yu and the others take care of the garbage transportation. You guys just focus on this job."
Hearing Lin Zheng's words implying that he wanted to work all night, He Yuzhu asked in surprise,
"Brother Lin, what mission is so urgent?"
Thinking that He Yuzhu and the others were the specific handling personnel, there was no need to hide it, so Lin Zheng said directly,
"Hasn't the price of food increased rapidly recently? Hasn't the RMB depreciated severely?
The common people complained bitterly.
I heard from Hongying that you said a few days ago that if you can't solve the problem, then solve the people who create the problem.
You really underestimate the ability of the State Council!"
After Lin Zheng finished speaking, He Yuzhu smiled a little embarrassedly. He didn't expect Li Hongying to tell him everything.
Seeing He Yuzhu scratching his head, Lin Zheng also smiled.
Then continue to say,
"In fact, at the beginning of the month, the State Council convened a closed-door meeting of economic experts to discuss how to use economic means to defeat those businessmen.
August 11,
The Central Finance and Economics Committee of Daxia issued 12 secret orders to various places.
The liberated areas in Northeast China, Central China, and South China were required to collect food, cloth, cotton, cooking oil, coal and other daily necessities.
Starting from November 11th, which is today,
Through railways, it converges into major cities such as Beijing, Songhu, Tianjin, eastern Guangdong, Chang'an, and Jinling.
Our mission is to transport the materials from all over the country to various warehouses for storage, waiting for the right time to strike a fatal blow to those speculators."
Seeing that it was such an important task, Ye Dapeng's voice was shaking with excitement.
"Make sure to complete the mission, Director Lin!"
"Brother Lin, I'll go back now and tell my dad, arrange things at home and come back!"
"Go!"
"Dad, we have a mission tonight. Brother Lin asked me to go too. Let Yushui and Qingshan live with the deaf old lady in the backyard for a few days!"
He Yuzhu had been at the branch office for about a month, and Lin Zheng and his team had driven him more than once or twice when they were on missions.
He Daqing didn't even ask, but just instructed as usual,
"Don't worry about the rain, nothing will go wrong.
As for you, you should pay attention to your safety when you are on a mission, and don't rush into anything, because bullets don't have eyes."
