With a burst of electric current, the crowd on the street gradually became quiet, but Li Changgeng still did not give a speech, but just kept scanning the crowd below. Until the crowd started to chirp again. At this time, Li Changgeng spoke in French in a calm voice: "The bloody European war has passed, and the dawn of peace and freedom has come on people's heads. But no one in this war is the real winner, France is not, Britain is not, and Germany is not. Although the Allies won the war, they have lost the youth of a generation. The price of the war is always painful. The elderly lose their children, women lose their husbands, children lose their fathers, and brothers.

No matter how brilliant and glorious victory is, we still have to return to a plain life. Life is not an easy thing for ordinary people. Everyone has to eat, dress, housing, and see a doctor. When we mention these things, we don’t want to mention one word, that is—money.

This time I came to France to discuss money or francs, but since I got off the airship, I have seen that the French officials are arrogant and insincere about it. As a member of the Allies, during the war, I bought hundreds of millions of dollars of French bonds in the name of privately and invested tens of millions of taels of silver to issue French silver coins to stabilize the French economy. It can be said that I am the largest individual creditor of France.

During the war, our Northeast China Autonomous Government provided countless guns and ammunition, military quilts, and various foods to the Allies. Ask the soldiers from the front line, they ate fast-heat food made in China that they had never eaten. They used weapons and equipment made in China that they wore military uniforms made in China. During the flu, I provided a large amount of sulfonamide to the French government to save everyone's lives.

Until now, the French bonds in my hands have not thrown a franc into the market. My private investment consultant told me that there are two major powers who are shorting francs and bonds, and if I don’t take action, I will suffer huge losses." Li Changgeng’s tone suddenly changed and became intense.

"But I still insist on not selling to the market, because I know that the result of doing so will only increase the burden on the French people. Once that happens, you can buy a piece of bread with 10 francs yesterday, but today you can only buy one-tenth of the bread. Later, you may not even buy bread slag. The officials and men of the French government asked the people to pay for the mistakes they made, but my conscience cannot watch the French people starve. Hunger does not belong to the enthusiastic and free French people, nor should they belong to all the people in the world who love freedom, peace, and democracy!"

Li Changgeng's tone turned to peace: "The French people's urgent need for mistakes now is not to oppose or resent who they are, but to have the confidence to rebuild their lives. Only in this way can life be better. Everyone has seen the truce for half a year, but the ruins are still there. Everyone looks at him indifferently every day, don't they think they should do something? Come and do it together, everything starts with rebuilding their homes!"

After saying that, Li Changgeng jumped off the platform and was steadily caught by the workers, then walked towards the pile of ruins and carried a few bricks. It has to be said that the French's mind is really easy to fool. A speech like Adolf, coupled with a little practical action, suddenly aroused the enthusiasm of the French. The crowd began to flow and slowly walked towards the ruins. When the French carried bricks and stones, the pace of labor was significantly accelerated. Li Changgeng directed the French to sort the reusable materials together, and piled up the unreusable ones, preparing to transport them outside the city.

When the labor was almost noon, Ma Baoju came to Li Changgeng and whispered: "The Party Capital has investigated. Most of the French agents who came to provoke trouble have left, and only a small number are still there. They should just want to hinder your itinerary and have no intention of being unfavorable to you. In addition, Pierre Roland, the leader of the French branch of the Workers International, is coming to see you!"

"Well, you can come at any time. You tell him that I don't have a living room here. Now you go find a few big pots and then find some ingredients. I want to cook a big pot here."

"Ah, you still want to be here, head of the party?"

"Of course, this is the place where I want to fight now. I want the French officials to surrender completely to me. Go and do it right away!"

"Yes, the leader of the party!"

After Li Changgeng told him that he saw some French people resting together, he walked over and said enthusiastically: "Can you join you?"

A big beard nodded, "Of course, welcome!"

"Gentlemen, what did you do before, are you doing now?"

"We used to be workers from the locomotive factory, and now we have been shut down for more than six months. Today we are going to the city government to ask for an explanation."

"I think the official of the municipal government will definitely say, you can go back and wait first, and the government will let the locomotive factory start construction as soon as possible."

"You guessed it, that's what I said." It can be seen that the bearded man was the leader of this group.

Seeing that the workers' emotions were fluctuating, Li Changgeng fanned and ignited: "How come the government has not issued you unemployment insurance or minimum living allowances in the past six months?"

The bearded man was stunned for a moment. A man with a thin and pair of eyes and a scholar-like appearance asked in confusion: "What are the unemployment insurance and minimum living allowances? I only heard that Germans have the "Disease Social Insurance Act", "Work Injury Accidents", "Age and Disability". Do you have it in China?

"It is not all. It is only under my rule that Heilongjiang Province has such a system. Of course, the land area of ​​our Heilongjiang Province is similar to that of France. We implement a five-insurance and one-infund system. The first is medical insurance. The task of medical insurance is to maintain, restore or improve the health status of the insured. The insured should avoid and overcome diseases and disabilities through a conscious and healthy lifestyle, through disease prevention and treatment and rehabilitation.

Second, unemployment insurance, which has a wide coverage and is mandatory. All those who participate in paid work and those who are undergoing vocational skills training have the obligation to participate in the insurance. If you are willing to obey the Heilongjiang Labor Bureau’s job arrangements and have not found a job, you can receive it at 60% of the past natural annual income. If you have more than one child, the insurance ratio can rise to 67%. The payment period for unemployment insurance is generally 12 months, and those who are old and difficult to re-employed can be extended to 32 months."

"Oh my God, your government is simply God." More and more workers around Li Changgeng listened to his speech carefully. It was obvious that an unemployment insurance had completely mobilized the enthusiasm of these French people. Li Changgeng's voice raised another octave.

"We also have pension insurance, mainly statutory pension insurance, supplemented by other forms of pension insurance. The statutory pension insurance covers all workers, including freelancers and artists, who must participate. If the monthly income is less than 10 silver dollars, the statutory pension tax will be paid at 19.5% of the income, and the employer and the employee each bear 50%. The statutory pension operation adopts the pay-as-you-can-eat model. The age for receiving pensions is 55 years old for men and women is 50 years old, and they can receive a pension equivalent to 70% of the salary before retirement. If the insured dies and his spouse does not have a fixed income, he can receive a certain pension for his survivors.

There are also work-related accident insurance, maternity insurance and housing provident fund….”
