Chapter 260 The Day of the Dark Clouds

After resting at home for a day, on the third day Zhao Hong's cold was cured, and he felt better, his body recovered his health, Zhao Hong began to visit around again, many people are not to blame, don't let people know that they have come back in the future, but they didn't visit, and they have a bad reputation.

It's just that a news topic appeared in a newspaper that caused heated discussions.

In August 1999, a peasant surnamed Zhou in a township in Fengcheng, Jiangxi Province, because he was dissatisfied with the excessive burden imposed on the peasants by the local government, collected and sorted out at his own expense the documents of the central and provincial party committees of Jiangxi Province on reducing the peasants' burdens and widely disseminated them, encouraging the peasants to resist illegal and unreasonable handovers. More than 50 family members went to the township government to "make trouble" and were dispersed by the township government with an arrogant attitude. The bad behavior of the township government angered the simple peasants, and tens of thousands of peasants in four townships spontaneously rushed to the township with farm tools, surrounded and destroyed the township government. The township chief and a township cadre were thrown from the second floor, and angry peasants dug a large pit at the township government to bury them alive on the spot. The head of the township police station and a policeman were killed on the spot, and the body of the head of the police station was hung from a tree for public display. A high-ranking party official of the township escaped on the motorcycle of a teacher in the township middle school and fled to the county seat.

That night, Jiangxi Province dispatched a large number of police forces to Fengcheng, and the incident gradually subsided. The so-called leaders fled into the mountains. On the 31st, the State Council convened an emergency teleconference, which was attended by all the two principal positions at the township level, which was very rare. At the meeting, a number of major cases caused by the burden of dead people on peasants were reported. The then Prime Minister and the Deputy Prime Minister in charge of agriculture made important speeches. The meeting stressed the need for an immediate cessation of the use of compulsory means of collection and surrender throughout the country.

If people who have lived in the countryside in the 90s know very well how miserable the life of the peasants was at that time, how unreasonable the burden was, and how the death orders of the higher authorities turned the rural grassroots cadres into ruthless thugs. At that time, in order to accomplish their tasks, rural grassroots cadres did everything they could, such as picking up cattle and moving grain and pulling pigs. There is a saying that is widely circulated among grassroots rural cadres: "If you hang yourself, you can't untie the rope, you don't take the bottle when you drink medicine, and you don't pull people into the river." If you dare to hit someone, you will be arrested. "Before the Fengcheng incident, most of the peasant revolts were isolated and individual. Most of the honest peasants chose to commit suicide, and there were a few impulsive people who chose to kill, but there has never been such a large-scale violence as the Fengcheng incident.

Didn't the bureaucrats at the top know the situation at the grassroots level in the rural areas? Didn't the then premier see Comrade Li Changping's letter? Countless people at the bottom wrote letters and petitioned, and many grassroots cadres reported the crisis upwards when they saw it. However, none of them have changed those "iron hearts"!

In the end, only the iron fist of the peasant brothers in Fengcheng softened the "iron heart" of the bureaucrats!

In recent years, Chinese economists have sprung up from all walks of life, and the biggest common denominator between them is: they only sing praises for a certain official, and do not speak for the common people!

Is it true that the more knowledgeable the experts, the higher the diplomas, and the more titles they have, the more worthy of everyone's admiration? How do certain high-ranking experts lose their humanity? Any expert who challenges the common sense of society, tramples on universal justice, denies human rights, praises authoritarian politics, and advocates sacrificing the interests of the majority in exchange for the happiness of the few can be called dehumanizing people.

However, some economists have been singing that the gap between the rich and the poor in China is still not big enough; they need to pluck the most goose feathers elegantly and artistically while ensuring that the geese are not allowed to crow; and they need to help both domestic and foreign countries in order to promote balanced development in the world......

An expert suggested that Chinese New Year's Eve should not rest; a certain expert suggested that the subway should raise its price; an expert suggested that the long vacation of more than three days should be abolished; an expert suggested that housing should be used for the elderly; an expert suggested that a traffic congestion fee should be charged; an expert suggested that retirement should be postponed; an expert suggested that men and women should retire at the same age for equality; an expert suggested that people in Beijing should go to Hebei Province for the elderly; an expert suggested that the rural areas should not burn coal for heating; and an expert suggested that water bills should be raised......

The price of oil does not fall for the sake of environmental protection, the price of tobacco rises for smokers to better quit smoking, the increase in water prices is to urge residents to better save water, the price increase of cemeteries is to let everyone live well, the rise in electricity prices is for everyone to save electricity, and the increase in wages is for everyone to better maintain the fine tradition of diligence and thrift......

Thank you to the experts who are fighting in various industries, you have broken your heart for everyone! It is suggested that the state only pay the so-called experts 70 yuan per person per month (the pension of farmers), and nothing else, so that they will know that life is difficult and not be a beast!

Zhao Hong remembered that the national toll road would lose 157.1 billion yuan in the next year, and people all over the world laughed!

A newspaper reported that the Ministry of Transport issued a national toll road statistical bulletin on a certain day. According to the communiqué, by the end of a certain year, the mileage of toll roads in the country was n million kilometers, accounting for 3.6% of the total mileage of highways, with a total cumulative construction investment of 100 million yuan and a debt balance of 200 million yuan. The national toll revenue of toll roads was 391.6 billion yuan, the expenditure was 548.71 billion yuan, and the gap between revenue and expenditure reached 157.11 billion yuan.

In a certain year, Chinese mainland had a total population of 1,339.7 million, of which 8.5 million public servants shared 89.76 billion yuan of publicly-funded medical care, with an average of 10,560 yuan per capita, and 1,331.2 million ordinary people shared 22.44 billion yuan, or 16.86 yuan per capita. In terms of medical expenses at public expense alone, public servants spent 626.33 times more than their masters. Seeing this, what do the people think about the words "public servant, for the people"?

Many years ago, the country's total monetary output was 1.65 trillion yuan, and now it is more than 120 trillion yuan, which has increased by 100 times. What does it mean to print money? Micro-comment: China's M2 ratio to GDP has gradually climbed to nearly 200% in one year, making it one of the highest in the world. The most hidden and convenient way to loot the wealth of the people is to dilute the wealth of the whole people by issuing excess currency.

To sum up, the biggest common denominator of the remarks of some domestic experts is: develop yourself, reform others, and mislead the people!

In the future, with the advice and advice of experts, the gap between the rich and the poor in China will finally widen; under the premise that the overall economy is on a downward trend in a certain year, more and more goose feathers will be plucked -- a record 14 trillion yuan in one year and a record 15 trillion yuan in the next year; the poorer the people are, the richer the officials will become, and it is said that there are still 21 trillion yuan in a certain treasury lying moldy; and the Gini coefficient (the standard for the gap between the rich and the poor) has exceeded the normal level allowed by the international community by dozens of times!

Today, the country's GDP is booming, the government's public debt is snowballing, and Chinese experts are shamelessly using three usual tactics to defuse the social crisis: raising prices with the left hand, printing money with the right hand, and voting in favor with the third hand on behalf of both feet – maintaining stability.

Nowadays, the environmental pollution of the domestic land is becoming more and more serious, and all kinds of high-polluting enterprises have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and smuggled cars are running all over the world.

After spending some time outside, Zhao Hong also had to admit that maybe the country was really not as beautiful as it was said in the textbooks, and he felt very unconfident that he was the master of the country in the textbooks!

Looking at the flickering neon lights in some areas, and the roaring songs that came out from time to time, Zhao Hong couldn't help but feel a little sad, those coal resources did not bring any happiness to his hometown, but brought a lot of corruption, come quickly!
