An old man in Shanxi ran to the local government with an IOU to ask for money, and the amount actually reached 10 million, and what was even more surprising was that it was still legal tender. As the investigation progresses, a historical secret involving generations of ancestors is uncovered.
In the 1970s and 1980s, a Shanxi Guo Jianying came to the local government with an IOU that had been collected for many years to ask for money because of his family poverty, when the government staff were surprised to see this IOU, after a detailed understanding, this matter soon attracted the attention of the local government.
However, the reason for the surprise and attention of the staff is that the amount on this IOU is too large, it is reported that it has reached 11 million French dollars, and this is still an IOU issued to him by the state during the War of Resistance Against Japan. To know that the amount of the IOU is so large, the staff also questioned this Guo Jianying, so they asked Guo Jianying the origin of this note, at the same time, the staff also asked experts to make an appraisal of the IOU.
Later, Guo Jianying said that it was handed down by his grandfather. So how did this IOU come about? Friends, what do you think of the origin of this IOU, welcome to express your opinion in the comments section.
New friends can like and follow, and the wonderful videos of the past are waiting for you to watch.
Let's take a look at the whole thing. At the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, our army and the Japanese army reached the final stage, and both sides were ready to fight to the death, that is to say, at this time the battle situation in the front was very tense and in urgent need of support.
Then China sent troops stationed in the Shanxi region, because the distance is relatively long, so when driving in the middle of the road need enough grain to replenish, at that time the war has lasted for more than ten years, so at that time the army's food is not much, and those soldiers who resisted on the front line have no food, let alone those soldiers who are driving on the road.
At that time, the commander of Shanxi wanted to borrow some grain from the local people, but because of the years of resistance, the people's crop income was not particularly good, so they could not borrow grain.
Just when the army was embarrassed, this Guo Jianying's grandfather did not hesitate to raise grain after receiving the news, and at that time, Guo Jianying's grandfather was a local rich businessman, so he had some money and grain in his hand. It took him two days to raise 10 truckloads of grain for the army and then send them over, which solved the army's food problem.
But this Guo Jianying's grandfather also spent a lot of effort in order to raise grain for them, it is reported that he spent 11 million French dollars in order to get these grains, the army saw that the grandfather raised so much grain for them, the heart is very moved, because of the discipline regulations, the troops can not easily take anything from the people, but at that time, the commander did not have anything to give to the grandfather.
Then the commander thought of a way to leave an IOU for the grandfather and promised him that he would pay the money back in the future. But at that time, Guo Jianying's grandfather did not have such an idea, although this is his own possession, but it is also his honor to be able to contribute to the country, so he did not want to accept this IOU.
But there was no way, if this grandfather did not accept this IOU, then these troops would not leave here, and finally there was no way, this Guo Jianying's grandfather accepted the IOU. Later, Grandpa did not want to go to the government and exchange this IOU, but just wanted to keep it as a souvenir.
After this incident, Guo Jianying's grandfather's reputation in the local area can be said to be getting bigger and bigger, and everyone has great respect for his patriotism, from that time on, his family's business can be described as more and more prosperous, but the good times are not too long, after the end of the war, their family's business is not as good as before, which has a lot to do with their peer competition.
At that time, in addition to Guo Jianying's grandfather doing business, there were many people doing this line, seeing that their family's business was doing so well, they began to be red-eyed, unable to accept the situation that Guo Jianying's grandfather's family was dominant, and then they united several to lower the market price, and then sold a lot of inferior products, at this time Guo Jianying's grandfather was already old, and his sideburns were already white, and he had no intention of participating in this commercial competition.
More importantly, Guo Jianying's grandfather was very upright, he could not stand this shoddy behavior to deceive his customers, and it was precisely for this reason that other peers took advantage of this opportunity to make a lot of money, while Guo Jianying's ancestral family, the business was getting worse and worse, which was very bleak.
So that later when it came to Guo Jianying's father, the family was already in debt, there was no way, in order to maintain their livelihood, his father had to sell all the houses and land in the family, distribute the money to the family's servants, and finally only a little money was left in his hand, and he barely built a house that could be lived, and from that time on, their family began to engage in farming, and the main source of livelihood was also here.
It was at this time that Guo Jianying was almost born, at this time, although their family is not rich, it is also one of the ordinary families, I thought that this was also a relatively warm family, but God seems to look down on Guo Jianying's family.
Not long after, Guo Jianying's father had a serious illness, during which he also spent a lot of money, and finally failed to cure, and fortunately spent a lot of money in the family, after the family's top pillar was not, Guo Jianying's family life can be described as more difficult.
However, after the end of the war, the commander unfortunately died on the battlefield, so there was nothing left, the only thing left was the original IOU, not long after the commander's sacrifice, this Guo Jianying's grandfather also died one after another, and the grandfather finally told the matter before he died, and also told his son that he must keep this IOU.
Subsequently, this matter was also known to Guo Jianying, of course, the grandfather's idea was not to let his descendants collect debts, but to let his children and grandchildren use this as a souvenir to commemorate this history and commemorate those soldiers who sacrificed everything for the country.
After the end of this war, the grandfather's descendants also had this IOU kept, and it has been passed to his grandson until now, which is now Guo Jianying in Shaanxi. Because in grandpa's time, grandpa spent all his belongings to raise food for the army, so in this generation, the family's economic situation was not particularly good.
After the death of Guo Jianying's grandfather, Guo Jianying's father collected this kind of IOU as a treasure, and also followed his father's last wishes, even when the poor at home could not eat, he did not take out the entire IOU. When he was a child, Guo Jianying did not understand his father's behavior very much, why the family could not eat anymore, and refused to take out this IOU to exchange for money.
Until Later, after Guo Jianying grew up, he also understood the reasoning, but seeing that the family's economic situation was getting more and more difficult, it can be said that he lived like a year, although the two generations in the family were in business, but after so many years, there was no savings.
At his father's time, the family business was not good, and then there was no comeback, and Guo Jianying was a loyal and honest farmer, it can be said that he did not know anything about business, their life at that time was already a state of eating and eating, and even the most basic food and clothing problems could not be solved.
At this time, Guo Jianying really couldn't think of other ways to make money, and he couldn't watch his family being starved to death, at this time Guo Jianying suddenly remembered the IOU, and then took this IOU to find the local government, hoping that the local government could help his family in life.
At the beginning, Guo Jianying actually just held the mentality of trying, after all, this IOU has passed for so many years, he is not sure whether the local government will exchange with him, and then Guo Jianying also came to the government with a feeling of anxiety and guilt, and has been standing at the door hesitating whether to go in, the process of things is almost like this, and everyone knows what happened later.
After listening to the explanation of this Guo Jianying, the local government personnel can be said to be very moved, and they are very admired for guo Jianying's grandfather's behavior, in addition, the government personnel also feel sympathy for Guo Jianying's experience, and at the same time, at this time, the results of the experts' appraisal of this IOU also came out.
The results show that this IOU is clearly stamped on it, and there is also the signature of the soldier of the Eighth Route Army, although the soldier who wrote the IOU died heroically, but this IOU still has legal benefits, plus the paper of this IOU is very old, a look at it is very historical, and finally decided that this IOU is indeed true.
It was also confirmed that what Guo Jianying said was indeed true, and after confirmation, government personnel also began to discuss how to deal with this matter, and they also attached great importance to this matter, knowing that during the war, those soldiers fought in blood in order to defend their families and defend the country, and many soldiers finally died on the battlefield.
At that time, grain was also very precious, and the people were willing to take out food to provide to the soldiers, which was like a life-saving straw for those soldiers, so the local government also paid special attention to this matter, but because the amount on the IOU was too large, and the IOU was written on the legal tender.
After the end of the war, the country began to vigorously restore the economy, but at the same time the legal tender was constantly depreciating, so that according to Guo Jianying's IOU, there were not too many funds on it, but the local government also hoped to maximize the value of this IOU.
After unanimous discussion, they decided to exchange the legal tender of the 1980s for RMB, and finally gave the converted funds to Guo Jianying, and Guo Jianying did not have any opinion on this method of conversion.
Although the IOU in Guo Jianying's hand was worth 11 million legal tender, according to the conversion of that era at that time, this Guo Jianying only got 80,000 yuan in his hand, although it was only 80,000 yuan, but this was a happy thing for Guo Jianying, and he did not think that the money was very small.
Because when he first came, he thought that he might not get a penny in the end, but he did not expect that he finally received these funds to rescue, which was 80,000 yuan, which was a huge amount of money for Guo Jianying. Then the government officials took guo Jianying to the local bank and then withdrew 80,000 yuan.
After the old man got the money, he was very excited in his heart, and also left tears of excitement, and he praised the local government's office attitude, believing that they were a good government that served the people, and did not deceive or ignore them. Later, Guo Jianying also said to the outside world that if it were not for the fact that the family conditions were too difficult, he would not be willing to take out this IOU to exchange for these money.
To know that the significance behind this IOU is very significant, then Guo Jianying Guo Jianying took this money to improve the living conditions of the family, and then always thanked the local government. But he is also full of guilt for his grandfather, feeling sorry for his grandfather, who said that he would not exchange it before and has been passing on this IOU.
But I didn't expect that in my own time, I was too poor to eat, and finally cashed in on this IOU. Fortunately, Guo Jianying's living conditions have been alleviated.
To know that in the 1980s, if there is a person with eighty thousand yuan at home, this is unbelievable to the family, which can change the fate of the family, and Guo Jianying after getting this eighty thousand yuan, because of his grandfather's help to the army, he also got special preferential treatment from the local government, it can be said that his later life is also guaranteed, and the local government will also send someone to help him solve the problems he encounters in his life.
For this matter, many netizens believe that Guo Jianying's grandfather spent a lot of money and materials to help the anti-war troops under such a difficult situation, and also gave away all his belongings, which is very worthy of praise and admiration.
Although he has been dead for many years, his patriotism and contribution to the country cannot be forgotten by everyone, and it is reasonable that future generations can receive these preferential treatment. Those who agree with this view can deduct 1 in the comments section.
