Chapter 368 Big Tiger and Old Eagle

Zhang Zhen was prepared for this statement.

He took out a copy of Marx's Capital and turned to Volume 1, Part 3, Chapter 9, "The Rate and Amount of Surplus Value". He pointed to a passage and said to the others:

"Comrade Marx has long made a clear distinction between small owners and capitalists. Comrade Marx said that those who employ less than 8 workers and directly participate in the production process like workers are middlemen between capitalists and workers, and are small owners. Only when they employ more than 8 workers can they be considered to 'occupy the workers' surplus value' and be capitalists."

"My family is directly involved in the production process, but now some are in school and some are at work, so we are too busy, so we hired three people to help."

"We didn't exploit them, but paid them high wages. They came here to help with the work, starting at 8 am every day and finishing at 5 pm. They were paid two yuan a day, and a meal was provided at noon. The working hours were not longer than those in the factory, and the wages we paid were higher than those paid by most factories."

Those people were shocked. They didn't expect to get two yuan a day. If they worked for a full month, the wages would be higher than theirs.

The young team leader took the copy of "Das Kapital" and read it. It was really written like this. Marx was a great man. Since he said so, it must be right.

Then he turned around and asked Sister Miao and the other two, "Is what he said true? If he exploited you, tell us, and our Revolutionary Committee will make the decision for you."

The three nodded vigorously.

"Yes, two yuan a day, and we have meat for lunch. The wages are settled every day after work, and there is no arrears."

"This family is all good people. They don't exploit us. Comrades, don't be fooled by some jealous people."

"That's right, comrades, we have a good job here." Wang Cuimei said, "They are creating employment opportunities for society and doing good things."

"I am a military dependent. I have been with the army for almost ten years and have been looking forward to the organization arranging a job for me. But there are so few jobs now, and the organization has not arranged one for me for so many years. Now that I work here and make money, the organization doesn't have to find a way to arrange a job for me. This saves the organization a lot of trouble."

"Yes, comrade. My husband is the only one who earns money to support our family. We live a very tight life. I finally got a job and our life became a little better. Who is this bastard who wants to destroy our livelihood? I will fight her." Sister Miao also followed Wang Cuimei's words and spoke with righteous indignation.

Aunt Xie also wiped her tears, "Comrade, my family lives a hard life. My youngest son is almost 30 years old and still has no money to marry a wife. I, an old woman, can finally earn some money to marry him a wife. If I lose it, it will force me to die!"

The corners of the team leader's mouth twitched. He just asked a question, but they said so much. But looking at this situation, these people are definitely not being exploited.

"Ladies and comrades, we are just working normally. Someone reported it, so we naturally came to take a look. We are reasonable people. Since everything here is legal and compliant, and the procedures are complete, then we should continue to operate normally."

"Okay, then we will go back and not disturb you from doing your work." After the team leader finished speaking, he led the people to prepare to leave.

Before leaving, he also reminded Zhang Zhen to keep a low profile to prevent some people from seeing them and imitating them. Others don't know that they have permission from above, and if others imitate them, they will have to arrest people again.

Although Sister Miao and Aunt Xie were nervous, they felt more at ease when they saw that the people from the Revolutionary Committee had come and left without finding any fault.

They were all a little nervous before, after all, this was a private matter. Although they said they had the approval from the higher-ups when they were recruiting, who knew if they were lying? Now it seems to be true.

In this way, when others ask them what they are doing, they can stand up straight and tell them. They did not do anything illegal or against regulations, this was all allowed by the government.

After the young team leader returned, he was called by their director and criticized. Only then did he realize that the other party not only had the seal of their Revolutionary Committee, but also the seal of the highest level of the Central Committee.

The young team leader was instantly scared and broke into a cold sweat. Fortunately, he did not do anything out of the ordinary today, and everything was done in accordance with the rules and regulations. If he did something, and the other party moved his little finger, he would probably be beaten to death.

The life of their Revolutionary Committee is not easy now, which bastard wants to harm him? He took out the report letter he received and read it over and over again, but unfortunately he could not figure out anything.

In the evening, Zhang Zhen told everyone about the inspection by the Revolutionary Committee today. They were not surprised because they had expected this to happen. They moved so many things in and out every day, it was impossible not to attract attention.

"These past few days, I always felt that someone was watching here. There are so many things here. It's not safe without someone guarding it at night. Clear a room here and I will move here in the future." Zhang Zhen said.

Now everyone lives in the arcade on Gaudi Street. Although it is not far from here, it still takes several minutes to walk there. It was nothing at first, but now that someone has been watching them, they must be careful.

"I'd better move over here. If something really happens, it will be even more unsafe for an old man like you, Grandpa Zhang, to stay here." Su Yiyuan said.

Lu Changzheng didn't say they would move over. After all, the nature of his job requires him to go out as soon as he has a mission. He would be even more worried if his wife was alone here.

But Su Yiyuan was alone and would be careless when he fell asleep. He still had to find a helper for him.

"I heard a few days ago that several military dogs in the team were going to retire. I'm going to get two and keep them here."

Dogs are good at guarding the house, not to mention retired military dogs. But in this era, people are not well fed, and very few people keep dogs.

"Okay, okay, this way I can relax a little at night." Su Yiyuan clapped his hands, so he wouldn't have to be alert all the time.

The next day, Lu Changzheng brought back two retired military dogs.

Military dogs at that time were mostly East German shepherds, which were introduced from the Soviet Union in the 1950s. There were

two dogs, one black and one gray-brown. The black one was called Da Hu, and he was only 4 years old. While performing a mission, he injured his front leg and became disabled, so he had to retire. The gray-brown one was called Lao Ying, and he was already 10 years old. He retired normally due to his old age.

Both dogs are very friendly to people and look very docile, but they are actually very alert and smart.

Lu Changzheng first gave them instructions, guiding them to recognize people one by one, and then taught them the daily instructions.

Lele liked Dahu and Laoying very much. After dinner, he sat cross-legged on the ground and chatted with them, and the two dogs were also very gentle to Lele.

Su Mo saw this, her eyes flickered slightly, the child had grown up, it was time to guide him about supernatural powers.
