Chapter 59 Speculation is a crime
Not surprisingly, Hu Zuoqiu's problem was solved two days later...
After receiving my order, Zhao Xinming immediately transferred several armed police from companies in neighboring counties to surround the village... This surround is not difficult, just the armed police force needs to spread out to spread barbed wire and checkouts on the outside of the village, etc.
There are many villagers, with a total of tens of thousands, but they dare not take serious action against the armed police soldiers holding submachine guns. Among them, the villagers did launch several charges at the checkpoints stationed by the armed police several times, but the armed police soldiers just threw a batch of tear gas and easily blocked the villagers back.
It should be said that there is no big conflict between the villagers and the armed police. Even those villagers know that since the reform and opening up, these days have been getting better and better since the reform and opening up. This means that the villagers have no reason to riot at all. Most of them are just pretending to show Hu Zuoqiu.
Therefore, such conflicts were not fierce, and even the villagers' charges did not approach the barbed wire laid by the armed police, let alone the direct conflict. Even if several of Hu Zuoqiu's confidants were fanning the flames, it would be useless.
In fact, I am really worried that the villagers will rush up with a fever, and the armed police really don’t know what to do if that happens.
Fortunately, the villagers were not that stupid, and the armed police with live ammunition were indeed quite scary... This was the first time the armed police existed. In the past, they either had a large number of police officers with broken pistols on their waists, or they were dispatching troops.
This is the first time the villagers have seen this armed police, and there are tear gas, flash bombs, etc., and all kinds of fresh things that make the villagers feel uneasy. So they naturally no longer persist.
At this moment, we announced to the villagers that the armed police blockade of the village is the principle of only allowing exit but not entering. That is, you can go out at any time.
The villagers immediately had a commotion... Everyone knows that the place of right and wrong is now. Who is willing to continue to stay here! Now, when you hear the principle of "accurate exit but not entry", you will have the courage to stick to it.
Of course, there is another process in this.
At first, the villagers were still skeptical about our principle. They were worried that this would be a trap set by the police and just waited for them to fall into the trap.
But a few brave men secretly came to the checkpoint stationed by the armed police while Ye Se... The reason why they came secretly while Ye Se was because Hu Zuoqiu had gathered confidants in the village to control the villagers and took a series of intimidation and means to retaliate against the villagers who attempted to leave the village.
Of course, we did not stop these villagers who came here. At this time, we even learned to use these villagers from the experience of using the parents of the criminals to persuade them... It seems inappropriate to use the word "use". We are also sincerely good for the villagers.
So the police and armed police treated these villagers who "come to surrender" very politely, and even called them brothers to invite them to drink and smoke. While eating and drinking, they reasoned them. These villagers knew in their hearts that this matter was unreasonable, but now they were under the "sugar-coated cannonball" attack by the police and armed police, how could they be able to bear it? They were defeated in a few strokes.
Then the shouts of these villagers soon sounded in the night sky of the village: "Friends, what the Public Security Bureau said is true. If we leave the village, no one will stop us. The comrades from the Public Security Bureau will give us delicious food and drinks! Let's leave the village. Don't be used by Hu Zuoqiu anymore. The only one that the Public Security Bureau wants to investigate is Hu Zuoqiu..."
Not to mention it. The effect of shouting like this is really extraordinary. The villagers quickly packed up their things and left the village in groups of three or three.
Hu Zuoqiu really wanted to block this momentum, but at this time the villagers couldn't stop it like a flood that broke the dam. They called a bunch of people and left behind, blocking them and secretly stole a few more. In less than two days, the village, which originally had tens of thousands of people, had only a few confidants left and some elderly people who were inconvenient to go out to stay at home to keep a lookout.
The rest is simple, and the police just go in and ask someone.
We don’t need to ask about other things. As armed police, we can already complete the task here.
At this moment, the instructor ran to me in a panic with a telegram and said, "Battery Commander, it's not good. Xianjin's company has been seized, and Yang Xianjin and several of the company's leaders have been arrested!"
"What?" I was shocked when I heard this and asked, "Yang Xianjin was arrested? What crime was arrested?"
At this time, I couldn't help but wonder. I had repeatedly told Yang Xianjin to be careful, to be low-key, and to act according to the national policies. Why would something happen now?
"Speculation and retaliation!" the instructor replied.
"Speculation and offend?" I was stunned when I heard this. Although I had heard of the word speculation and offend, I didn't know what the charge was.
"It's almost... illegally reselling!" the instructor explained, but looking at the expression on his face, it seemed that even he didn't know very well what the crime was.
Actually, this is not surprising. First of all, it is because our troops have been separated from peaceful society for too long and have no information, especially in our synthetic battalion. It can be said that they are basically busy with training in the army, or they are busy with wars, and they have not been home for several years. Of course, they have only a slight understanding of some things in peaceful society.
Secondly, it is because the state does not have a clear provision on the crime of "speculation and punishment". Therefore, even people in a peaceful society don't know much about how to define this crime.
Later I realized that this was the case...
Our country's economic system was originally a planned economy, and everything in the planned economy was distributed according to plan and proportion, but after the reform and opening up, this system has undergone some changes.
Needless to say, there is a market economy.
If the whole country develops a market economy in one go, there will be no problem, but the problem is that only some places implement market economy... This policy is correct in the general direction. China is too big, and it is impossible to implement it nationwide if there is a new policy. Otherwise, if there is any problem, there will be no need to look back. This is what we are familiar with, which means opening up some cities as a pilot.
In fact, at this time, non-economic zones have implemented a part of the market economy. For example, after a company produces products that have completed the planned tasks, the parts that exceed the planned can be sold at the market price.
This brings up a new problem: at this time, my country has two systems: "planned economy" and "market economy", that is, the dual-track system is parallel.
The planned economy is even price-determined, while the price of the market economy is determined by the supply and demand relationship of the market, which is what we often say, "scarcity is precious."
This directly leads to two prices for exactly the same product, and the market price is twice or even more than the national unified price.
So some officials who have means and connections try every means to obtain a large number of products at the national unified price by means such as "traveling back doors" and "pending notes". Then they resell them layer by layer and finally sell them on the market at a high price. Some merchants even use their strong funds to get the products and hoard them and do not sell them until the market soars due to the shortage of such products.
The consequences of this are of course very bad. The most direct impact is the abnormal rise in prices. What is more serious is the indirect impact. People have also participated in the hoarding of goods due to soaring prices... This is understandable. This is the price of rice, salt and other daily necessities, so people of course hope to buy more, at least ensure that they will not be affected by the price during this period.
This further disrupted the market order and even caused some panic among the people, thinking that the previous planned economy was better.
The government was caught off guard by this phenomenon... For decades, it has been a planned economy. How could it be that there will be so many problems when it is opened? So in a panic, it generally stipulated the crime of "speculation and counter-attack" in July 1979.
However, if the law is just a general provision without a detailed definition of the scope of crime, it will have serious problems. This is like "hooliganism crime". No matter what, you can use this crime to cover it. The same is true for "speculative and dereliction of duty". (Note: speculative and gangster crimes, and dereliction of duty are called the three major pocket crimes of this era, which means that everything can be put in it. In history, it was not until September 1987 that there was a clear definition of "Interim Regulations on Administrative Punishment of Speculative and Counterfeiting". It was not until 1997 that the crime of speculative and Counterfeiting was abolished)
Now Yang Xianjin is charged with the crime of "speculation and counterfeiting". This really sounds like that. What our Xianxing wholesale company does is to buy from other places and then sell it to self-employed people. However, we have no bribery and no approval to get the products in the plan. Basically, we are running errands for self-employed people and then earning some travel expenses. What kind of crime has we committed to speculation and counterfeiting?
"Battery Commander!" At this time, Zhao Jingping held up the microphone several meters and shouted at me: "Telephone, Zheng Jiayi called!"
I walked to the phone in a few steps and picked up the microphone. Then I heard Zheng Jiayi crying from the microphone: "Battery Commander, the company is over. Our provincial capital and county companies have all been blocked, and several people have been arrested, and Mr. Yang has also been arrested!"
"All the companies in the provincial capital and county towns have been blocked? When did it happen?" I asked.
"Just this morning!" Zheng Jiayi replied: "I finally took time to make this call, I can't say more..."
"The stores in both places were blocked in the morning?"
"Yes!" Zheng Jiayi replied nervously: "Battery Commander, I can't say that for too long. Someone followed me, maybe it was from the Public Security Bureau, save us!"
As he said that, he hurriedly hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, I felt that this matter would not be so simple. You should know that the information in this era is very closed, even the Public Security Bureau is the same... I have a deep understanding of this. We wanted to use the Public Security Bureau to find the mother and son for a long time.
Chapter completed!
