The smile on Ouyang Yun's face disappeared when he heard this, and he said sharply: "It's too high, but I won't even be alive."
"Don't get excited. Let me report to you Renqiu's current financial situation first. Let me talk about our income first. Renqiu's income has three major parts: land tax, commercial tax, and customs duties. Because of the land reform, land tax is not only There is no income, and a large number of loans have to be provided; in terms of business, the income in the first month was not bad, but since the central government and the 29th Army began to suppress us, many businessmen now have a wait-and-see attitude, so business taxes not only have not increased, but have also begun to A significant reduction. In the battle a few days ago, although we repelled the Japanese, businessmen are now beginning to doubt this warrior omen. Many people who were ready to invest have begun to wait and see. I estimate that this month’s tax revenue will still be To reduce; tariffs, hey, I get angry when I mention this. You and I are talking about the 29th Army, but I don’t know what Feng Zhi’an thinks. He actually banned the goods from Peking from flowing into us, and even sold them to us. Increase taxation standards for goods from Peiping..."
During this period of time, he was busy dealing with the Japanese threat. Ouyang Yun had no time to deal with these things. Hearing this, he frowned and apologized: "Brother Jiang, I'm sorry, I didn't know."
Jiang Shuren waved his hand and said: "I don't mean to blame you. I understand your intention to increase the pension. Logically speaking, people have sacrificed their lives. We shouldn't care about money, but we have to consider the actual situation. ."
"How much money do we have now?"
"Excluding the income from penicillin, there is still about 300,000 yuan."
"What? It's just that little." Ouyang Yun was startled and straightened up unconsciously. As a result, he touched the injured area and cried out "Ouch" in pain.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Pan Meiren and Mei Lanshu ran in after hearing this.
Ouyang Yun was a little embarrassed. He couldn't change his blustering temper. In fact, it wasn't because he was in pain that he had to shout out. He said: "It's okay, it's okay."
Pan Meiren was still uneasy and asked, "Is everything okay?" Then she went to check the wound. Mei Lanshu stood at the door and looked at her with a slightly strange expression.
Fan Xudong also had a strange expression. He might be thinking how the "anti-Japanese heroes" could be so afraid of pain and so careless.
Jiang Shuren was no longer surprised. Seeing the expression on Fan Xudong's face, he said, "That's just how he is. You'll know it when you get to know him more."
Fan Xudong said "Huh",
After driving the two girls out, Ouyang Yun said, "I remember there were more than one million in the first month."
Jiang Shuren had known that he would ask this question and started to report the numbers: "The student division now has a total of more than 24,000 people. Each soldier is two yuan per month, the deputy squad leader is two and a half yuan, the squad leader is three yuan, and the deputy platoon leader is three yuan. Half, four yuan for the platoon leader..."
Ouyang Yun grimaced. He was always sensitive to numbers and asked, "Just report the total number."
"Okay, the monthly salary for the soldiers is about 60,000 yuan, the food expenses are about the same amount, the ammunition and other expenses are about 150,000 yuan, the civil servants are 40,000 yuan, but we only earned more than 30,000 yuan last month , Yes, we made a lot of money at the beginning through pre-sale of shares and other means, but do you know the cost of fighting? The battle of Daliuhe Town cost more than 300,000 yuan... The key is the pension. It’s really too high. Each person costs 300 yuan, and 100 people need 30,000 yuan. In addition, they have to support their children, which is another huge expense..."
Ouyang Yun's head was pounding after hearing this. He thought for a while and said, "Can you pay for the penicillin first?"
Before Jiang Shuren spoke, Fan Xudong said: "Director Ouyang, I suggest not to do this. Isn't the money for penicillin going to the military industry? Although I have not been on the battlefield, I can see that if we want to protect our territory, we have to Two things must never touch the fundamentals, one is the people's support, and the other is the military industry."
Jiang Shuren nodded and said, "That's the truth."
"Then what should we do? The pension has set a precedent. It is absolutely impossible to lower it now. Apart from other things, the army will not be able to pass this test. Even Li Tieshu and others can pass it with their compassion, but as for the morale of the military, in this way Who would be willing to fight if there is another war?"
Jiang Shuren saw Ouyang Yun's spitting stars flying out and said with a smile: "I knew you would say that." Then he looked at Fan Xudong and said: "Mr. Fan, look, this kid is usually easier to talk than anyone else, but when he moves It reaches the top of his heart and no one can listen to his words."
Fan Xudong smiled and said: "I have a way that doesn't require lowering standards and at the same time won't overwhelm us."
Ouyang Yun was overjoyed, looked at him and asked, "What can I do? Tell me quickly."
"The soldiers in our military training division should mainly come from rural areas. My method is to use land, farm tools and labor to offset the price."
"Please give me more details." Land and farm tools are easy to understand. Ouyang Yun also thinks that this may be a solution, but he is a little confused about labor.
"The land and farm tools are given to them at a discounted price, as well as labor. The main reason is that the martyrs' families basically lack labor, so we can help them farm. Anyway, our military training division has plenty of people."
Fan Xudong thought that this idea was a good one, but unfortunately he didn't know that Ouyang Yun, as a later generation, had heard many stories about the people's army helping the people to harvest food, so it was impossible for him to agree to sell the soldiers' labor power at a price. He said: "The land and The farm tools are a good idea, but the labor is calculated. As a comrade, helping his family members cultivate the land is nothing, so how can we charge for it?"
Fan Xudong glanced at Jiang Shuren and said, "It's normal to sell your labor."
"It depends on who and how. Well, let's talk about the pension. There is a prerequisite. We need to ask the martyrs' families for their opinions. If they don't want to move to Renqiu, then we will never force them."
Jiang Shuren smiled: "How can we force it? We have to take care of the elderly and the young anyway."
Ouyang Yun thought for a moment and thought it was true, so he asked: "What about the soldiers with urban household registration? Well, yes, how about giving them shops? Didn't our division's construction company just build a large area of shops in the new city? , encourage the families of martyrs to run shops and provide them with policy support."
Jiang and Fan didn't expect this, but it was indeed a good idea. The two looked at each other, and Fan Xudong smiled and said: "Our little officer is really smart, he can really tell the truth."
Ouyang Yun was a little embarrassed. After solving the pension issue, he felt much better. He smiled and asked him: "General Manager Fan, this is not the only reason why you came here. Then I have to thank you on behalf of the brothers who died." "
"One more thing, I think we should have our own bank."
"Do you want to open a bank?"
Fan Xudong shook his head: "It is not opened by me, but by our government. Of course, we also encourage private banks to open banks."
"It's a good suggestion, but I don't know anything about this aspect. Well, you'll have to worry about it then." Ouyang Yun said and looked at them, his eyes especially lingering on Fan Xudong's face, secretly thinking that now it seems , Fan Xudong should really regard himself as a member of Renqiu,
