Siheyuan: Married a female spy at the beginning of 1944

For ordinary people, fairness is an extreme luxury most of the time.

Although rich people may be oppressed by those who are richer or more powerful.

But they can transfer this loss to themselves.

But ordinary people have no way to transfer this loss.

He Daqing knew that in this great era, ordinary people knew for the first time what fairness was.

No matter what your identity or status is, you can only get a fixed salary.

Want to exploit workers? Dream on.

There was no such thing as exploitation during this period.

Some people may say that when working at this time, the workers' surplus value is not exploited by capitalists.

But they were all taken away by the state.

It's a disguised form of exploitation.

In fact, these are two completely different things.

The surplus value taken away by the state is mainly used for national construction and development.

With the construction and development of the country, farmers and workers can enjoy the benefits brought by development.

Of course, the system later changed, and the benefits that should have been enjoyed by the workers were given to a few people, allowing them to enjoy these benefits on behalf of all the workers.

During this period, everyone was very motivated and knew that they were contributing to the country.

They are all for the benefit of their future generations.

Ma Liu's brother-in-law is certainly not an ordinary person, although his property is of illegal origin.

But he doesn't care about this. As long as the money is in his pocket, it is his. At this time, whoever dares to touch his wallet will be his mortal enemy.

But they were outnumbered and had no choice but to retreat.

So he often nags Ma Liu, asking him if he had a little more money or more power.

Just like those high-ranking officials of the Nationalist government, he went to Taiwan and Hong Kong to become a master.

"I don't know about that either. I don't think there will be many. If you have any connections, I can ask for you. There might be a few."

Ma Liu didn't dare to say much, as he couldn't figure out what He Daqing's mentality was.

After all, He Daqing was a member of the Eighth Route Army. Although he is now helping Yi Zhonghai go to Hong Kong, Yi Zhonghai is just an ordinary person, very different from his brother-in-law.

He Daqing suddenly had an idea, if he could build a channel.

Send these guys who are of no use to the country to Hong Kong.

They extorted a lot of money from these guys on the way, leaving them penniless when they arrived in Hong Kong.

The money obtained from these people is then handed over to the country.

He Daqing felt that this business seemed good.

"It's not impossible, but it will cost a lot of money. I wonder how much they can offer? If it's less, forget it. I don't need small amounts of money."

Ma Liu thought about it and felt that although his brother-in-law was rich, he was indeed not a rich man compared to the man in front of him.

I'm afraid my brother-in-law can't afford this money.

“I just heard a friend always complaining that he wanted to go to Hong Kong.

As for whether he has money, I really don't know. How about you name a price, Mr. He, and I'll go back and talk to him. If he can afford it, we can discuss it later?"

After hearing what Ma Liu said, He Daqing did some calculations in his mind.

The main reason he sent these people out was due to procedural issues.

As for the cost, I'm afraid it would be the train tickets and boat tickets.

However, the amount of money must not be too little, after all, the procedural issue is the biggest problem.

"We need at least three large yellow croakers. If you have them, we can continue the discussion. If not, forget it."

He Daqing thought about it and decided it would be better to settle the bill based on gold.

One large yellow croaker is equivalent to 312 grams of gold.

He Daqing directly asked for three.

That's equivalent to about 1000 grams.

This is an astronomical figure for most people.

But for those rich people, it's nothing.

For those who have experienced war, no currency is as reliable as gold and silver.

So during that period, they all developed the habit of hoarding heavy metals.

In later generations, we often heard about how many silver dollars and gold jewelry were dug out from under some landlord’s house.

It can be seen that even in an era when no one can afford to wear pants, a few people are still very rich.

After hearing He Daqing's asking price, Ma Liu made an estimate in his mind.

I feel that my elder brother-in-law would not be able to come up with that much money.

"I think it's difficult. The price is too high."

"Go back and ask. If he can afford the money, I will help him. If he can't, then they should just stay here."

After dinner, He Daqing went home.

Ma Liu went straight to his brother-in-law.

Ma Liu's brother-in-law turned out to be the chief of the police station, named Du Yuzhou.

This guy didn't do anything good when he was the director.

Most of the time they arrest homeless people to take the blame.

As for the real criminals, these policemen dare not mess with them.

Part of the money in his pocket was a gift from the police officers below him, and the other part was rewards from rich people after he helped them solve problems.

As for direct extortion, Du Yuzhou has never done it.

This is also the main reason why he is safe and sound.

When Ma Liu found him, he was drinking.

His condition at this time was not as high-spirited as before.

When he saw Ma Liu, his attitude was different from before.

"Brother-in-law is here, come, let's drink together, quickly get a cup for brother-in-law."

He warmly invited Ma Liu to take a seat.

Ma Liu also got used to it.

He sat down immediately, but shouted to Du Yuzhou's wife.

"Sister-in-law, stop making trouble. I just ate. I came here just to talk to my brother about something."

After Ma Liu finished speaking, he looked at Du Yuzhou seriously and asked very seriously:

"Brother, are you really going to leave?"

Du Yuzhou drank a little too much at this time.

I didn't react for a while.

"Go? Where to? This is my home, where should I go?"

Ma Liu took Du Yuzhou's wine glass, put it aside, and continued to ask

“Are you going to Hong Kong?”

Du Yuzhou was stunned, then asked

"I want to go, but I don't have the means. Although I am no longer an enemy of the people, I am not a friend either. How dare I move? If I am not careful, I might get eaten by peanuts."

Du Yuzhou has been living more and more cautiously in recent years.

When the country was first liberated, he thought all governments were the same, so he didn't take it seriously.

After being arrested, his mentality changed.

But I still think that all officials are the same, and he was not brought down because of anything wrong.

It just blocks other people's path to wealth.

After further observation, he found that it was not what he thought.

He found that this government was actually serious about this.

He couldn't sleep when he thought about the bad things he had done before.

I’m afraid it will be discovered one day.

Ma Liu glanced at Du Yuzhou's wife, then leaned over to Du Yuzhou's ear and said

"Brother-in-law, I know someone who can take you to Hong Kong, but it will cost you three large yellow croakers."
