Chapter 541: The Countryside of Eastern Liao

On the twenty-ninth day of the Lunar New Year, all parts of Liaodong are filled with a festive atmosphere. In particular, the farmers' markets in various places are bustling every day, and the stalls in the market have long been full.

In the past, the fierce urban management personnel were also very humane and didn't care, and they also helped maintain order. During holidays, the stalls in the farmers' market can become very tight, but there are still many farmers who come here to buy and sell things, and the market management department can only let the farmers set up stalls outside the market, and only charge some nominal stall management fees.

The Far East implemented the policy of guaranteeing production to households in Liaodong, and also opened farmers' markets in various regions, where farmers' own harvests could be traded at will. However, it is still strictly forbidden to buy and sell agricultural and sideline products that are limited to the peasant households' own production, thus disrupting the market order.

After all, the population in eastern Liaoning is still very small, and the market is not large, and now that the market is open, if there are people who take the opportunity to hoard goods, it will eventually damage the fundamental interests of peasant households. The purpose of the construction of the farmers' market is to allow farmers to barter with each other, so that the agricultural and sideline products produced by ordinary farmers can be circulated in the market.

Of course, with the continuous large-scale immigration of the Far East in Daming, after the population reaches a certain scale, the urban and rural construction of Liaodong has also developed to a certain level, and the Far East Company will gradually open up the market and invigorate the economy of Liaodong.

Everyone's life is getting better and better, and in the face of the long winter, the amateur cultural life of the peasants will become very scarce. Now that they are well fed and warmly clothed, and every household is full of grain, the peasants have more other thoughts.

Moreover, the single peasants in Liaodong have almost reached more than seventy percent, and they will inevitably have some incidents when they have nothing to do for a few months. Fighting, gambling, alcoholism. Even things such as engaging in bases began to be common.

Although the judicial system in eastern Liaodong has been established, several detachments have a police station and several armed policemen to assist each detachment and department in managing tens of thousands of peasant households in their jurisdiction. But if you want to put an end to all kinds of cases that often occur, you can solve them. It is still necessary to start from the root.

In order to solve the problem of amateur cultural life in rural areas in winter, the Propaganda and Education Department of Far Eastern Group Company took the lead and carried out various colorful activities together with several leading departments. Chess and card rooms and reading rooms were established in each major team, and various teams, choirs, bridge teams, long-distance running teams, winter swimming teams and other organizations and groups were formed.

Then the competition is regularly organized by each detachment department, usually with the brigade as a unit, selected in each squadron in the jurisdiction, and then the participating teams of each team are formed to go to the detachment department to compete, and after obtaining a certain ranking, they will go out to compete on behalf of each detachment.

A variety of colorful competitions. Suddenly, the farmers who made the idle eggs in various places hurt one by one, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. Those who have the ability to participate in the competition, and those who are not able can also go to the scene to cheer for the players of their own team.

The Propaganda and Education Department of Far Eastern Group Company has invested a lot of resources, including organizing competitions, establishing competition venues, setting up rich awards, forming referee teams, and creating a rural league mechanism. Anyway, throughout the winter, the countryside in eastern Liaoning was very lively, and the games were one after another.

Especially before the Chinese New Year. The company's propaganda and education department also organized a tug-of-war competition with the squadron as a unit in the vast rural areas of eastern Liaoning. It attracted all squadrons from Liaodong to participate, and the whole competition lasted for more than a month. There are 20 players in each squadron, and the team that finally enters the top 10 has a very rich prize.

The Ministry of Propaganda and Education also organized a film team to regularly go to various places to screen open-air movies, although they watched open-air movies in Liaodong in the cold winter of several days. It was definitely an extremely difficult thing to endure, but every time the movie pair was shown at the various brigade headquarters, all the peasants in the entire brigade poured out of their nests, dressed in thick cotton clothes, and watched the open-air movie outdoors at minus 20 degrees Celsius.

While carrying out various activities. The Propaganda and Education Department also regularly holds various study classes, including science and technology farming classes and scientific livestock raising classes, all of which are closely related to the daily production and life of farmers. All of them are organized in the form of showing movies, and they are deeply loved by the vast number of peasants.

During the Spring Festival, the Ministry of Missions also sent a holiday gift package to each farmer, which included Spring Festival couplets, blessing characters, New Year paintings, paper lanterns, portraits of the God of Wealth, red candles, and a hundred firecrackers.

Although there are not many things, they are very suitable for the occasion, which makes the vast number of Liaodong farmers who receive the things very happy. They all pasted the Spring Festival couplets on the door of their homes on the twenty-ninth day of the New Year, and then killed pigs and chickens to prepare for the New Year.

Everyone took a variety of agricultural and sideline products, sold them in the farmers' market, and then went to the nearby rural supply and marketing cooperatives to buy all kinds of New Year's goods, including bud rice straw wine, various seasonings, seafood, mushrooms and other non-staple foods, and then began to prepare for the New Year in a down-to-earth manner.

In the early morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, peasants from all over Liaodong came to the office building of the Nationalities Committee with pigs' heads, elbows, eggs, and other things that they were reluctant to eat, and then left silently.

There was no organization, and all the peasants who came here came spontaneously. The farthest men got up in the middle of the night and set out, and they walked for nearly half the night to bring these things over.

The simple peasants are simple-minded, they know who saved them, and they also know who made them live a good life. They showed their affection by taking out the best things in their homes and sending them to the Far East Company.

At this time, all the employees of the company will stand in the office building and quietly watch this qiē. Looking at the simple peasants, putting all kinds of things in front of the compound of the Ethnic Affairs Committee, I was very emotional.

Originally, the company also organized employees to persuade everyone to go back, but the upright farmers don't care so much, if you don't accept their things, they will think that you look down on them, and they may not be happy for years.

Later, Gao Jianguo discussed with Wang Heyi and accepted ...... It's all accepted, don't be hypocritical at this time, usually do more things for them, it will work better than anything in return. But there are so many things that they are so mixed that it takes a long time just to sort them.

But when everyone sorted out these things, they didn't feel irritated at all. On the contrary, I felt that my heart was warm, and I felt that I had come to this era, and the qiē I paid was really worth it. (To be continued......)
