Of course, Du Zhongyuan wanted to scold Zhou Ming for slipping his head, in fact, Zhou Ming was indeed slippery, he found that he had talked too much, and after talking about the topic minefield, he immediately changed his words and said that he had a narrow vision, and he could only think of so much.

As the vice president of the state, how could Du Zhongyuan not think that he was deliberately retreating, unwilling to talk about this topic again, if nothing else, just for the words that Zhou Ming said just now, those things are by no means something that a person with a narrow vision can say, and the person who can say those words has at least his vision on the same level as the national leader.

But now that Zhou Ming wants to skip this topic, Du Zhongyuan can also understand that after all, he is just an ordinary person, and he has no big family support behind him, once he is involved in the political whirlpool, he can only be killed or scapegoated, and there is no possibility of retreating from the whole body.

can stop the car at a critical moment, in front of his own vice president of the country, his mind can still remain so calm, this person is by no means simple, in a very vulgar saying: this son will become a great weapon in the future!

This may be very cheesy, but in Du Zhongyuan's opinion, it is the best evaluation of Zhou Ming now.

Zhou Ming laughed, and didn't care too much about Du Zhongyuan's scolding, of course Du Zhongyuan wouldn't hold on to this issue, since Zhou Ming didn't want to interfere in politics, he was also very cooperative and jumped over.

So Du Zhongyuan thought for a while and said to Zhou Ming: "I understand that it's normal for you to have concerns, and I won't say anything about it, but I hope you can take this issue seriously." ”

Zhou Ming felt something from Du Zhongyuan's serious tone, Zhou Ming straightened his back, and Du Zhongyuan continued: "You are a businessman, then I think you should have noticed a very strange phenomenon in our country, that is, the prices of agricultural and sideline products and primary industrial products in our country have been low, and the central government now hopes to adjust this situation, what do you think about this price issue?"

The door of Zhongnanhai is really not easy to enter!

Zhou Ming sighed in his heart, because the question raised by Du Zhongyuan is a headache now, and it also involves many aspects, even from the past, present to the future political level, which is very sensitive, and if you don't answer well, there may be problems.

In this regard, Zhou Ming thought carefully for a while before saying: "There is a problem with prices that are too low or too high, but I think the key lies in the formation of this price, whether it is caused by the market or artificially inhibited, if it is the former, then it only needs a little guidance, and the market can adjust itself, but if it is the latter, this situation will be a lot more troublesome." ”

Du Zhongyuan nodded and said: "This situation is like this: the current domestic grain purchase price is high, but the sales price is low, so the state should subsidize this; this is unreasonable from an economic point of view and does not act in accordance with economic laws." However, China has a low wage system, and if the state does not subsidize this and let prices rise, then the masses of the people will not be able to afford things, and if wage increases are implemented on a large scale, they are worried that it will cause inflation, so this is a dilemma. ”

Is this the background of the first round of price control in the late 80s? If we really do what Du Zhongyuan said, this price issue is really a very difficult thing to handle.

Zhou Ming thought so in his heart, he didn't give a direct answer for the first time, but asked again: "Chairman Du, how did the central government decide now?"

"At present, Chairman Dong has decided to carry out price and wage reform by taking the initiative to raise prices and raise wages. Du Zhongyuan replied.

"No! This will definitely be messed up!" Zhou Ming immediately denied.

Du Zhongyuan asked why, and Zhou Ming analyzed: "It's very simple, as an ordinary person, if he knows that prices will rise tomorrow, then what will he do today? That is, buy everything he needs while the price is low; of course it doesn't matter if these two are doing this, but what if hundreds of millions of people across the country are doing this? Wouldn't there be a rush to buy, wouldn't it be easy for accidents to happen?"

"And what is more important is that the rise in prices across the country will cause serious inflation, and will make the money deposited in the bank by ordinary people even less valuable, so once the common people find that they have saved 10 yuan yesterday and can only buy 5 yuan today, what will happen? Everyone will definitely run on the bank like crazy, and the result will be the bankruptcy of the country's credit, the collapse of the financial system, and social turmoil. Zhou Ming added, "This has been confirmed countless times abroad, and every financial crisis basically has this plot." ”

"What if the banks were allowed to raise interest rates so that people's deposits could keep up with inflation?" Du Zhongyuan asked again.

"This is even worse!" Zhou Ming said categorically, "If it is just printing money, it is not raising prices, but artificially creating inflation, just like the fiat currency and gold yuan bills issued by our country after World War II, which have no other role at all except plundering the wealth of ordinary people and making ordinary people's lives more and more difficult." ”

Zhou Ming said this with emotion, because it reminded him of his previous life, when his father was terminally ill and dying, and suddenly the prices of the whole country skyrocketed, making his family's already difficult life more and more difficult.

Zhou Ming remembered that at that time, he and his mother were dependent on each other at home, and if it weren't for the help of the neighbors around him, he wouldn't even be able to eat.

Of course, not only himself, but other people's families were not much better at that time, after all, the 760 factory had just been restructured, and many families could not pay wages.

It is precisely for this reason that a well-off factory area has suddenly become a rice village and a slum under various unreasonable policies.

In addition, Zhou Ming also remembered that there were indeed a lot of panic buying frenzy and a run on banks across the country at that time, which almost caused a catastrophe, but fortunately, the central government stopped it in time and stabilized the situation, otherwise something would really happen.

But even so, the situation was stabilized at that time, but this hidden danger was still laid, so that at the end of the 90s, the central government had to carry out another vegetable basket project and continue to find ways to make food available to the majority of the people.

Du Zhongyuan glanced at Zhou Ming twice and said: "If you have anything to say, just say it in one go, anyway, there are only a few of us here, no matter what you say is right or wrong, no one else will know, even if you really say something that shouldn't be said, when you go out of this door, everyone will forget." ”

Zhou Ming nodded and said: "That's the case, Chairman Du, I think that the price increase may seem to be to subsidize farmers, but I think farmers can't get any benefits." ”

"Why is that? Hasn't the grain purchase price been raised?" Du Zhongyuan asked in surprise.

"Food prices have increased, but it is more about the abolition of state subsidies, so that it is not so much an increase in prices as a reduction in the burden on the state. Zhou Ming said, "Then the price of goods began to rise, but the price of grain did not rise in the real sense, so the life of farmers is becoming more and more difficult, who else will be willing to farm, no one farms what hundreds of millions of people in our country eat?"

Facing Zhou Ming's questioning, Du Zhongyuan was silent again, because Zhou Ming's question was also to the point.

However, Zhou Ming, who has the memory of later generations, has no way not to hit the nail on the head, you must know that the central government of later generations does not know how many years in a row to engage in the three rural issues, which cannot but be said to be a correction of previous mistakes.

And there is another point, the reason why so many genetically modified foods are rampant in later generations, the agricultural population is too small, resulting in insufficient food, so the country can only be forced to engage in genetically modified food.

In his previous life, Zhou Ming didn't have the slightest way to face this, but now that he is reborn and has the opportunity to state all this in front of the future president, Zhou Ming must seize this opportunity, otherwise Zhou Ming himself will hate himself.

Listening to Zhou Ming's sentence after sentence, Du Zhongyuan fell into contemplation again, and after a long time, he sighed heavily, and then Du Zhongyuan looked up and asked Zhou Ming a seemingly unrelated question: "I heard that in the last conference call with Nanjiang, you rejected Chairman Dong Zhen's invitation to let you work in the State Council?

"First of all, I think I'm not suitable to be an official, I can be a consultant to a party and government organ, but I'm definitely not suitable to work in an organ, and I now have a lot of companies at home and abroad, and I am an official while doing business, and I can't guarantee my integrity at all. On the other hand, I think everyone should have a clear position of their own, and not everyone can be an official. ”

Zhou Ming said this, thought for a while, and then said: "I remember that there was a vice premier back then, he could have become a grassroots leader very well, but he was artificially promoted to the position of vice premier, and the result didn't make him suffer a crime? ”

A flash of surprise flashed in Du Zhongyuan's eyes, because Zhou Ming's evaluation of the vice premier was exactly the same as that of Yang Lao, but who was Yang Lao? Now the actual supreme leader of the country, but he is just an ordinary person, but he can have such an insight, it is really surprising.

In fact, Zhou Ming said one less thing here, that is, the reason why he refused Dong Zhen's invitation was entirely because he knew very well that Dong Zhen would definitely fall, but this was not easy for him to say in front of Du Zhongyuan, if Du Zhongyuan heard this, then he would definitely be shocked. After all, now that the central dark tide is surging, even they can't determine what the future will be, Zhou Ming, an ordinary person who doesn't know the inside story, can make this judgment, which can't help but be shocking.

"You're pretty self-aware. Du Zhongyuan smiled and said to Zhou Ming, "Then I won't force you in this case, but now I invite you to be a supernumerary adviser to the Central Committee, it's no problem, right?

"Since Chairman Du, you have said this, I can't refuse. Zhou Ming said.

"You kid, am I wronged you by inviting you to do things on behalf of the Central Committee?" Du Zhongyuan said angrily.

Zhou Ming hurriedly shook his head and said, "Of course not, I am gray and gray!"

Du Zhongyuan shook his head, spit out the word again, and said, "It's really slippery!"
