Chapter 3884 3886 [Workaround]
In the summer vacation of 1981, Xiang Nan went home.
"After the wheat harvest this year, your uncle Zhuzi, brother Mantun, and Jimao and I wanted to go out to do business, but we were arrested within two days. Not only were our sugar baskets confiscated, but we were also fined ten yuan each. In the end, it was your uncle Jinshui who bailed us out." Chen Jintu said to him, "So we didn't dare to go out."
After Chenjia Village was upgraded to Chenjia Town, the villagers still did not change their hard-working nature, and they all wanted to go out to do business during the slack season.
Under the influence of Xiang Nan, Chen Jinshui escaped five years of imprisonment. He didn't suffer so much, so he was naturally not afraid, so he was very supportive of the chicken feathers for sugar.
After all, this is a craft passed down by the older generation, and it is also the way for the villagers to survive.
So even though he has been promoted to the mayor, he still supports the villagers to exchange chicken feathers for sugar. But he didn't care about anyone, and Chen Jintu, Chen Jinzhu and others were still caught. Not only were their sugar baskets confiscated, but they were also fined ten yuan.
Not only did they lose their capital, but they also became afraid and dared not go out easily.
"Don't be afraid, I have an idea." Xiang Nan laughed when he heard it.
"Why, do you have a way?" Chen Jintu asked in surprise.
Xiang Nan nodded and took out a newspaper from his schoolbag, "Dad, look at what is written in this newspaper..."
Chen Jintu took the newspaper and saw the headline on the front page, with large fonts saying "Several Policy Regulations on Non-agricultural Individual Economy in Cities and Towns".
Chen Jintu hurriedly read it carefully and saw that the regulations clearly stated that unemployed young people with urban household registration were encouraged to apply for individual business licenses and adopt a variety of business methods, such as processing with supplied materials, self-production and self-sale, distribution and agency sales, setting up stalls, walking in the streets, mobile sales, etc.
Individual business households are allowed to conduct family business, and if allowed, they can hire one or two helpers and no more than five apprentices.
"This is about non-agricultural household registration in cities and towns, and it has nothing to do with us farmers." Chen Jintu frowned after reading it.
It only says that unemployed young people in cities are allowed to apply for individual business licenses, but the people in Chenjia Village are all farmers, and they can't enjoy such rights at all.
"This is simple. Who doesn't have a relative in the city?" Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Even if there is no relative, there are so many unemployed young people in the city.
Ask them to help apply for a self-employed business license. At that time, you will be his helper and apprentice. At most, you can give them a little benefit, and many people will definitely rush to do it."
In the late 1970s and 1980s, a large number of young people returned to the city. But there are scarce jobs in the city, so many people are unemployed at home and have nothing to do.
Therefore, in order to place them, the state has specially issued regulations to allow them to find their own way out and engage in individual business.
Chenjia Village cooperated with those people, borrowed their identities to apply for licenses, and then used the licenses to do business. Although there is a suspicion of loopholes, it is still a workaround.
"Well, let's do it. Son, you still have an idea. I will discuss it with Jinshui now." Chen Jintu said excitedly.
Although Chenjia Village implemented the household contract responsibility system and distributed land to the villagers, which greatly improved their enthusiasm for work and greatly increased grain production, it was still not easy to have enough food.
Moreover, they were all used to doing business. If they were not allowed to do this business, they would be too itchy to dig for food in the fields all day. After all, farming can only harvest twice a year at most, and it is not as exciting as doing business to make money every day.
…
Chen Jintu then took Xiang Nan and found Chen Jinshui with a newspaper, "Brother Jinshui, don't worry, we have an idea."
After reading the newspaper and listening to Xiang Nan's suggestions, Chen Jinshui was very moved, "Daguang, can this really work?"
"Of course, Uncle Jinshui, you see, this is a decision made by the top. The county, city, and province must also listen. Can it dare not listen to the leaders?" Xiang Nan nodded.
"Well, Jimao, invite everyone." Chen Jinshui nodded.
Chen Jianghe immediately ran out and called the backbones of Chenjia Village, such as Chen Jinzhu, Chen Mantun and others.
After reading the newspaper and listening to Xiang Nan's idea, everyone thought this method was feasible.
First, this is a national regulation, and the province, city, and county must abide by it; second, they are also afraid of poverty. If they really guard their one-third acre of land and are not allowed to go out to do business, they will have problems with food.
"Brother Jinshui, this thing can be done, let's do it."
"Yes, the country says it can be done, let's do it."
"Brother Jinshui, a living person cannot be suffocated to death."
They all supported it.
"Okay, let's do it." Seeing that everyone said so, Chen Jinshui immediately made the decision.
...
Afterwards, Chen Jinshui went to Yiwu County and asked his relatives' children to apply for four individual business licenses in the county. There are a total of 20 sugar knocking gangs in Chenjia Village, and applying for four individual licenses is enough.
Then, the villagers of Chenjia Village took the licenses and set off again.
"Hey, hey, hey, stop right there. You are so brave. I didn't allow you to come out to get candy, but you still dare to come out. Didn't you punish me enough last time?" Not long after they left the village, they were stopped by a group of people wearing red headbands.
"We have a license, and the country allows it. Why do you punish us?" Chen Jintu took out the newspaper and the license without panic.
The man wearing the red headband looked at the newspaper, then looked at the license, and couldn't help but look confused.
I didn't expect that these people actually had licenses, and they were encouraged and allowed by the country. This is difficult to deal with.
"The country allows us to do business, why are you stopping us? Can you be bigger than the country?" Chen Jintu said again.
"That's right, get out of the way, don't stop us from doing business."
"Yes, we all have licenses, the country allows it, why are you stopping us?"
Other villagers also followed suit.
Before, they didn't have a business license, so they were inevitably guilty. Even if they were stopped, they didn't dare to resist. Either admit defeat or beg for mercy.
But now they all have licenses, and they are encouraged and supported by the country, so they are full of confidence. Facing these people wearing red hoops, they will not accept it, but choose to argue with reason.
Seeing that they are so strong, the people wearing red hoops, who were guilty when they saw the newspapers and licenses, dared not stop them now, and could only let them leave.
So everyone left triumphantly and started to do business in the streets and alleys.
And because they have a license, they don't have to be sneaky and hide in remote areas, mountain villages and old forests, but go wherever there are more people. For example, markets, stations, factory gates, school gates...
In this way, business is naturally better and more money can be made.
The deeds of the villagers in Chenjia Village soon spread throughout Yiwu. For a while, other villages followed suit and applied for licenses to do business openly on the road.
The group of people wearing red hoop could only watch but could not do anything.
