What do people need most in society today? I think there should be a lot of people answering: money. And in today's society where money is king, people are trying all kinds of ways, just thinking about saving some money.
But now that the price is getting higher and higher, money is already worthless, small money can not be regarded as money at all, only big money is liked by everyone. Let me tell you a number: 10 million, this money is not in the previous society that worries about eating and wearing every day, or the current well-off society, this 10 million is a considerable number, in the present, this 10 million is enough for you to buy a full house, right?
In the 1950s, our protagonist appeared, he still had 10 million IOUs in his hands, and he went to the government. So what is the story of this IOU? Why does our protagonist ask the government for an account? And listen to me to give you one by one.
In 1950, a person with a special status went to the Shanxi Provincial Government, his name was Guo Jianying, and he had an IOU of 10 million yuan in his hand. At first, he was also very enthusiastic to chat with the relevant government staff, and after chatting with the staff, he was also very careful to take out his very worn IOU.
He wanted the city government to help him make an appraisal to see if the IOU was genuine or fake. If there is such a thing, hopefully the government can return its money to him. The government staff was also very surprised to see this IOU, because it was rare for the government to borrow money from the people, and he looked very ordinary.
Later, the staff also seriously did the identification, the amount of this IOU was actually tens of millions, the Shanxi Provincial Government saw it is also very surprised, immediately took the old man to the office, and reported the matter to the leader. After the leader met with the old man, he asked him who his father was? The old man replied: Guo Mingyang, later they called the experts, and they also made a careful inspection to determine that the IOU was not fraudulent.
So what really happened at that time, there was such a thing as the government owing tens of millions of yuan to the people? In fact, in 1939, when the Eighth Route Army passed through Shanxi at that time, the army really ran out of materials, and the soldiers were already hungry beyond adulthood.
There is an old saying that has been passed down to this day: the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass have come first. Soldiers who go to the battlefield to fight are not allowed to starve. At that time, Guo Mingyang was a landlord, and he knew that the Eighth Route Army had encountered difficulties, so he asked his subordinates to send them grain. However, at that time, the Eighth Route Army had a rule that the common people would not take anything. The Eighth Route Army had no choice but to write an IOU.
At that time, the situation was very difficult, seeing that they were so enthusiastic, the leaders of the Eighth Route Army also made an IOU according to the grain price at that time, at that time New China had been established, although the currency had been abolished at that time, and the depreciation was very severe, but the rules were dead, the relevant personnel of the Shanxi Provincial Government discussed for half a day and decided to compensate Guo Jianying with the price of 1940.
It didn't take long for Guo Jianying to get the money, he saw that the government can be so real, he was also very moved, and the government's practice we should also learn, although there is not much money, and the times have long changed, but this debt is real, the money must be repaid. We really feel very good about the government finally handling this matter, and his father's approach should also be encouraged, at that critical juncture, willing to selflessly help the Eighth Route Army, this kind of great kindness, we will never forget it for a lifetime.
At that time, his father's practice was no less than that of sending charcoal in the snow, and the soldiers' hearts were warmed because of his food. Because of him, the Eighth Route Army also fought harder, and they spilled all their efforts on the battlefield.
Although the ordinary people said that it was impossible to go to the front line to fight, but in the rear, they were the strongest backing of the soldiers, they always gave the soldiers food, clothing... These logistical supplies were also crucial at that time.
The reason why New China can be founded is not only because the soldiers throw their heads and spill their blood, but also because of the strong support of the Chinese people for the army. And Guo Jianying also went to the Shanxi Provincial Government to exchange this IOU after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and his intention government understood that this IOU was finally eliminated, which also represents that our country has become rich and strong.
