I want to be a good person

"Why, you don't want to accept it? It's the currency issued by the Locust Army."

Zhang Aiguo looked at the puppet soldiers who looked embarrassed.

Two more people came up to the side, smiling.

"To be honest, sir, the value of these military notes has depreciated greatly. If you hand in 20 yuan today, it will not even be worth two yuan when we hand it in three or four days later. I hope you can bear with it."

It turns out that everyone understood the Japanese's sinister intention of issuing military notes.

"Then give more. If you have nothing else, go and hand it in early."

"This? All right."

The puppet soldiers did not dare to refuse forcefully. As they did not know the details, they just shook their heads and smiled bitterly.

Watch the car go away.

"Pooh"

"The richer the people, the more stingy they are. Military notes are like waste paper. No one wants to use them."

"Hurry up and collect all the French currency and military notes, so they don't rot in your hands."

"Alas, this paper currency is worthless and is depreciating rapidly."

The car had not gone five miles when it came to another checkpoint, and the same thing happened again.

The road was built by the team leader, why are you charging us money?

No one dares to say that I contributed to the construction of the road. The main way to pay for the road construction is to increase agricultural taxes, let farmers pay more money, and also provide free labor.

The other is to issue a huge number of public bonds, forcibly levy them under the guise of legality, and "borrow money" from the people.

There are people who do business that will get them killed, but no one does business that will lose money.

The national government was a huge debtor who spent money before it was earned. The golden decade was a decade of borrowing. It seemed that the economy was developing rapidly, but in fact it could not even pay the interest.

According to records, the national government issued and approved more than 30 kinds of domestic bonds, treasury bonds, certificates, etc., with a total debt of more than 1500 million yuan and monthly principal and interest payable of more than 25 million yuan. This was the legal currency of the th year of the Republic of China, and it was quite valuable.

The finances are simply unable to pay back such a huge hole. What should we do?

After moving from place to place, they could no longer maintain the business, so of course they had to default on their debts. Once the full-scale war of resistance broke out, until now, the end of the 28th year of the Republic of China, the debts they owed were nothing.

By increasing the output of printing presses, internal debt problems can be easily solved. As for the money owed to foreigners, it must be repaid in real money.

A typical person who is a king at heart and a saint outwardly. He would spend money lavishly and cultivate relationships even when he has nothing to do.

Zhang Aiguo smiled. The Qing Dynasty charged fees, the Beiyang government charged fees, the Republic of China charged fees, and even when the Japanese invaders came, they still charged fees. The word "charge" strung together a long tradition.

I have read online articles in my previous life. Zhang Aiguo also made some preparations, such as making glass with sand, making soap, making gunpowder, smelting steel, and burning cement. Unfortunately, the hero had no place to use his skills.

They also know that finance is about buying low and selling high. Do the foreigners have no financial acumen? Or is the relevant knowledge picked out by others? They ignore financial control. Are the foreigners stupid? Or who is stupid?

The so-called freedom is relative, where does the utopia come from?

"Boss, check out."

"What's wrong? These colorful banknotes are not attractive."

"Sir, can you change it into French currency?"

"Legal currency?"

"Yes, the French currency is more valuable. If you use dollars, I'll give you a 20% discount."

"Aren't you afraid that I will sue you for refusing to use military notes?"

The shopkeeper had a smile on his face.

"Not really, not really, look at the righteousness on your face, sir."

This is flattery.

Seeing off guests every day has developed a keen eye for observing people's words and expressions.

"Well, the ocean."

A dollar was placed on the table.

"buzz"

The shopkeeper pinched the dollar with his fingertips and blew gently, making a buzzing sound in his ears.

Immediately his face broke into smiles.

"I'll give you a pot of good tea, you can rest for a while."

After bowing, the shopkeeper left.

Military notes could not be circulated freely, and private transactions were looked down upon. The Japanese soldiers became more worried and became two inches shorter.

The Germans and the Red Hairs tore Poland apart, and the European War broke out. Faced with the rapid advance of their allies, the Japanese were unable to make a sudden breakthrough and felt very frustrated.

The counterattack was everywhere. The captain had just saved some money and invested more. In more than three months, more than 20,000 Japanese troops were annihilated, and one lieutenant general, one major general, and two colonels were killed, which improved China's international reputation.

Unfortunately, there are too many corrupt officials. When they are caught, they cry and repent bitterly. There is no death penalty. A person can earn enough money for several lifetimes and enjoy it while in office without any regrets in life.

The newspapers were reporting that the locust army was invincible, winning every battle, and that they were either winning a great victory here or destroying everyone there. It seemed that there was no bad news at all.

There is still some distance to Shanghai, and the Japanese are unable to reach it, so they are actively supporting the Wang Puppet regime politically.

Changshu, formerly known as Haiyu and Nansha, is known as the blessed land of Jiangnan and has the Eighteen Scenic Spots of Yushan.

The natural barrier of the Yangtze River has left behind numerous historical sites in the south of the Yangtze River.

The car entered the city. The streets were deserted and desolate. Some of the destroyed houses still remained in their original state.

The drunken Japanese soldiers and puppet soldiers swaggered around in groups.

A note was torn off by the puppet army and stuffed into the closed gate.

Zhang Weiguo felt quite curious, because this was not the way to write an IOU.

After checking in at the Continental Hotel on the back street of the county, I looked at the "Yushan Guide" in my hand. How much beautiful scenery is left? Probably only devastation, a scorched earth under the iron hoof.

"Sir, are you visiting relatives or friends, or doing business?"

The innkeeper bowed and said that with so few people the business could not be sustained.

"Visiting friends."

"Have you ever found it?"

"Never."

"Where do you live? In the country or in the city?"

"There are houses in both places."

"My condolences, it's hard to find, I guess he met with misfortune."

The shopkeeper cupped his hands again and consoled her.

"what?"

"I heard from my cousin who was in the headquarters of the puppet pacification army that more than 30,000 houses were destroyed and more than 30,000 people died in a few days."

"What if we hide in the countryside?"

"The countryside is just as miserable. The Japanese carried out the Four All-Stars Movement and looters swarmed across the border, looting all property and leaving no one alive. They stabbed children with bayonets and ate people's hearts. Alas."

"So that everyone won't rise up to resist?"

"What can we use to resist? The soldiers and civilians are running away quickly, and many of them have surrendered."

“Isn’t there any propaganda?”

"Propaganda, can propaganda kill the Japanese?"

Yes, strongly protest, firmly oppose, condemn, warn, and urge to return to the right path.

We shared the joys and sorrows and went through the difficulties together, and slowly went astray.

"Sir, you should go out less and leave early."

"Thank you, thank you for the reminder."

"By the way, did you see them stuffing notes through the cracks of doors on the way?"

"Tip?"

The shopkeeper took out a piece of paper from the drawer and asked softly, "Is it this?"

"Yeah, kind of."

Zhang Aiguo couldn't confirm it, so he just took a rough look.

"This is a note for collecting donations and grain. It doesn't matter whether you are here or not. They told you to hand it in when you come back. There is also penalty interest."

"So, we can only run?"

"Yes, the question is where to run? It's even worse in the countryside."

“I see a lot of shops are closed?”

"Those who sold watches and cameras were all robbed by the Japanese. The wealthy families were all robbed and all the people were killed."

"This damn little devil."

"They killed everyone they saw, from the elderly to the little kids. They spared no one, especially women."

"Look at my house. It was hit by bullets. All the valuable things in the room have been stolen."

"The poultry and livestock in the countryside were all taken away, as were gold and silver jewelry, furs and wool, calligraphy and paintings, antiques, clocks and watches, radios, southern goods, sugar and wine, and the piles of rice that could not be eaten. All of them were burned."

Zhang Aiguo felt uncomfortable as he watched the other party speak in a heavy tone.

How do those who keep saying that they want to let go of the past and look forward to the future say it with such a shameless face? Do they feel any pain in their conscience?

Give someone a taste of their own medicine. Only in this way can we have the qualification to let go and talk about when the cycle of revenge will end, thus demonstrating the magnanimity of Chinese men.
