Chapter 57: The Retreat of the World 2

The briefing started on time at nine o'clock, and it was the current team members who arrived first and lined up at the door of the conference room to greet them. [Ran^Text^Library] This is the rule set by Secretary Lu Jian and Governor Haonan as soon as they took office, and it has been adhered to until now.

Due to the time arrangement in place, in fact, there is not much time difference between those who are waiting and those who need to wait, what can be there is actually the show off and expression of identity, which is the nuance difference between waiting for people and being waited, but the difference can be seen in the initiative consciousness and thinking.

Secretary Lu Jian, Governor Haonan, Deputy Secretary Zheng Ming, as well as vice governors and deputy directors of the National People's Congress, chairmen of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and other vice-provincial leading cadres, as well as the National Development and Reform Commission, State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, Department of Transportation, Department of Education, Health, Food and Drug Administration and other more than a dozen important economic departments were all present. Focusing on reporting to Yan Bonian and more than a dozen other retired veteran comrades on the economic and social development of the province in the second quarter, the main thing was to accept inquiries and answer the questions raised by the veteran comrades.

Secretary Lu Jian made an opening remarks, expressed his gratitude to the arrival of the old comrades, expressed confidence in the economic work of the province, and came down to the governor of Haonan Province to introduce the economic operation in the recent period, especially talked about the resistance and confusion in the work, and did not evade the problems in the work at all, hoping to get the help and guidance of the old comrades, the attitude is very sincere and sincere, less polite, more emotional, but also makes the old comrades feel cordial and warm.

Therefore, the speeches of the veteran comrades were very enthusiastic, and there were few thorns, and there were many suggestions, which were very pertinent, and the atmosphere was also very harmonious.

"Since the establishment of the new team, especially after Secretary Lu Jian, Governor Haonan and Secretary Zheng Ming came to Hehai, the changes are obvious, and they have also poured a lot of enthusiasm and effort into the economic development of Hehai. Compared with the previous development and economic work, it can be said that you have encountered a different situation and problems than ours, and the problems we need to do are scale and speed, as long as the economic scale is bigger and more comprehensive, we can explain something. But you are different, not only to ensure speed and scale, but also to ensure efficiency and quality, but also to ensure people's livelihood and stability, it can be said that you are facing many more difficulties and problems, and you can also say that the people's demands are more and more specific. In addition, it is very difficult to balance the different requirements and interests of the central and local governments. Yan Bonian's opening remarks began like this, and he was also repeatedly thinking about how to express his position and how to express his views. After all, there is a deep gap and difference in thinking between the new team and the old team, so it is the best way not to say or say less, which is also the problem that he does not like to participate in such activities, but it is easy to have a bad feeling about the new team if he does not participate. After two years of contradictions, but careful observation shows that the new team still has momentum and endurance in all aspects, which is why we have just made a statement, and it is also a feeling from the heart. Speaking of this, Yan Bonian changed the topic, "The Chinese nation is a nation with great perseverance, and forbearance and humility have been traditional virtues since ancient times. Confucianism's introvertedness, Taoism's softness, and Buddhism's compassion all have the connotation of 'forbearance'. Take a step back and open the sky, and only by forbearance can you achieve something. In the Book of Shang, King Cheng of Zhou admonished Jun Chen: 'There must be forbearance, and it is help; There is tolerance, and virtue is great. Confucius said: "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan" and "a gentleman has nothing to fight"; Lao Tzu's "Heaven is good at winning without fighting, and responding well without words", and Buddhism's "six degrees and ten thousand actions, forbearance is the first" and so on are all talking about the way of 'forbearance'. Confucianism about 'forbearance', there are many records in the "Analects", Confucius has 'once the anger, forget his body and his relatives, not confused'? Isn't it too confusing to forget oneself and one's loved ones because of a moment of anger? Buddhism is about 'forbearance'. It is recorded in Buddhist scriptures that Shakyamuni said: I have comprehended the essence of 'indisputable', and it can be said that I am the first in the world. He also said, 'Of the six ways of transcendence and the ten thousand methods of cultivation, forbearance is the first.' The Buddhist scriptures say: 'A person of good character, a clean and white face, and a beautiful posture and countenance, all these must be obtained from forbearance'. It is also recorded in the scriptures: 'In the past, there was a man who praised the Buddha as a person who was blessed with great merit. Those who heard it were very angry and said, 'How can it be said that there is great fortune and great virtue when my mother died after only seven days of birth?' The one who praises says, 'Isn't it a great blessing to be beaten but not angry, and not to be scolded in return?' 'The angry are convinced'. Taoism about 'forbearance', "Lao Tzu" said: 'Good is like water, water is good for all things without fighting'. The gist is that the supreme good character is like water, and being good like water is beneficial to all things and not to fight. "Lao Tzu" also said: "The way of heaven is good to win without fighting, and good at responding without words". It means that things that conform to the laws of nature do not fight against other things, but are good at overcoming them; He doesn't speak, but he is good at coping. Taoist practitioners also left a lot of remarks about 'forbearance'. Purple Void Yuan Jun said: 'Forgive, forgive, forgive, all kinds of calamities will disappear at once; Forbearance, forbearance, forbearance, creditors and enemies will be gone' Chi Songzi admonished his disciples, 'If you can bear it, you won't be insulted.' Xu Zhenjun said: 'Endure unbearable things and obey those who strive for self-improvement'" Sun Zhenren said: 'Patience will make the bad things disappear by itself, and the evil things will not fall on you when you reflect on yourself'. Other ancient texts about 'forbearance' in the discourse, "Yi? "Damage Hexagram" cloud: 'The gentleman suffocates his desire with punishment'. To the effect that virtuous people use self-vigilance to suppress anger and **. The Book of Shang records that Zhou Cheng admonished King Zhou Cheng: 'If a bad person resents you and scolds you, then you should be serious and virtuous.' King Cheng told Jun Chen: 'There must be forbearance, and it is help; There is tolerance, and virtue is great'. It means that you must have patience in order to get things done. Only with a tolerant heart can morality be noble. "Zuo Biography" cloud: 'I can't bear it, and I'm ashamed for life'? It means that if you don't want to endure humiliation once, do you want to be ashamed for the rest of your life? Left Pass? The first year of the Zhao Dynasty said: "The people of Lu govern the country by mutual tolerance." Left Pass? The Twenty-seventh Year of Mourning Gong records: Zhibo said to Zhao Meng: 'I hate you for not having the courage, why should you be honored as a son? Zhao Meng replied, "I can endure it." You laugh at me, what damage do you do to me Zhao Meng?' The folk proverb says 'forbearance', and the proverb says: 'forbearance is the enemy of the disaster'. Youyun: 'You have to endure and endure everything, forgiving people is not a fool, and an idiot will not spare people'. and 'endure and endure, abstain and abstain. If you can't bear it, small things become big things'. They are all profound truths that warn people to 'endure the sea and the sky for a while, and let the three points of wind and clouds be clear'. In addition, the literati and writers of the past generations have also left many poems about 'forbearance'. Huang Tingjian's poem said: 'No one takes care of this, and waits for the dirt'. There is a poem in Lu Ben: 'Endure the poor and know the poetry of progress, and do things without feeling tired'. Lu You Shiyun: 'I can endure a little before I want to go, and everyone has a good expectation in their hearts'. He also said: 'Although the beating is happy, the lack of patience is long'. He also said: 'If you endure a little, you will have nothing to do, and you will have merit if you do it'. Huang Mu's "Wujiang Temple Poem" cloud: "The victory or defeat of the soldier is unpredictable, and the humiliation is a man......"

Yan Bonian said calmly and patiently explained: "I said so much in the clouds, not to make a fuss, nor to show my boss Yan's cleverness, but I just want to talk about the limits and limits of forbearance, and it is also a kind of thinking, and I encourage everyone." ”

"I don't know if you understand the old leader's bitter words, I heard several meanings, one is the vision of the people in power, what we do, why we do it, it seems to be related to the position under the buttocks, but have the interests and demands of the people been considered? Second, enterprises and the wealthy class, they consider the problem of faster, higher, stronger, this is in line with the law of economic development? The third is the appeal of the people, but it is just a little richer at the table, a little more stable life, and a little less anxiety, is this request too much? Secretary Lu Jian took over the topic of Yan Bonian and said in a solemn tone: "There is still more than half a month before the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar and the National Day, but the commodity promotion drama has started early, and the momentum is beyond words to describe. I don't go shopping or go to shopping malls on weekdays, because the demand is not large, the second is inconvenient, and the third is lazy, and I am relatively unfamiliar with the price of goods, so I am a little worried about the market situation under the influence of the financial crisis, and I am more worried about the market performance after the recession of the real economy, as well as the lack of confidence in the purchasing power of the public, so I also pay special attention to the sale of goods and commodities. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who would have told me that the country is now experiencing an unprecedented recession, that the business climate index and the entrepreneur confidence index are both falling by double digits, and that the national income is expected to fall far beyond the level at the end of last year when prices rose. But the facts are clearly unfolding before my eyes, telling me that the market is prosperous, the citizens are rich, the purchasing power is strong, everything is a scene of prosperity and abundance, everything is peaceful and happy, and it has nothing to do with the propaganda. After reading the strong purchasing power, it is natural to be more concerned about prices, because the official media has been constantly promoting that the price index has fallen for several months, with a cumulative double-digit decline, and the natural decline in prices has boosted purchasing power, and this reason is also valid. But after looking at meat, non-staple food, dried and fresh fruits, the solemnity and doubts are higher, the price has not dropped significantly, but has increased compared with a few months ago, and the increase is not in the decimal number, it is still reliable to say that double digits. Since prices have not fallen substantially, and they are not in a period of shortage, let alone the space and environment for prices to rise again, why are the crowded scenes of several supermarkets and shopping malls so similar? What could be the only explanation? The double festival is approaching, and some rights units and advantageous enterprises are raiding the issuance of cards and rolls? Surprise shopping gifts from certain units or individuals? On closer inspection, it doesn't seem to mean so. Perhaps, as the salesperson said, the money is not used now? It doesn't seem to be, the depreciation of money should be more aware of the money bag. I thought about it and didn't find the right solution. But there is no solution but not without worry, what prosperity seems to show in the end can still be seen, that is, the people's consumer confidence index has not been affected by the market environment, or the downturn in the economic environment has not been transmitted to the people's purchasing power and consumer confidence, or this prosperity is a dying fight made by enterprises and businesses, is the straw that finally saves the real economy? ”

"What Secretary Lu Jian said is also a question that I think about and do not understand, what should be the relationship between the prosperity of the market and the responsibilities of the government, it seems that the market economy should let go of the market to regulate, let the market game, but the person who said this just forgot our population base, forgot our basic national conditions." Governor Haonan smiled and spoke: "The old leader is to save face for us, is to inspire us to think, is to let us understand what the people's government should do for the people, as the old leader said, forbearance is a realm, but also an attitude, but both saints and ordinary people have a limit of patience, what to do if you can't endure?" Look at our market, first antique jade, then mahogany furniture, raw materials, then soybeans, corn, then precious metals, and now garlic has also become a bargaining chip for speculation, coupled with continuous speculation in houses and coal, it seems that nothing can not be speculated. So, what should I fry next?

Almost every day you can see such hype news, and behind every news is the analysis and prediction of the phenomenon, after watching too much such news, you can't help but have questions, can you see the things that can be understood, why can't the relevant government departments see it, is our government information channels not enough, the experts' predictions and analysis are not comprehensive enough, or there are no speculators sensitive?

There is no answer to all kinds of questions, and the more they accumulate, the more clear they become, and there is only one reason, that is, it has nothing to do with the government, at least not with the performance of the government's decision-makers.

Behind the soaring prices of precious metals is the return of resource value, and the direct benefits are the growth of investment, the rise of GDP, and of course, the growth of taxes. What does it matter if everyone is happy?

As for antiques, jade, calligraphy and painting, and even tea, it is a thing played by rich people, whether it rises or falls, it has nothing to do with the overall situation, and it is not on the government table.

Indeed, investment-based speculation originally had its own market rules, and whether it was managed or not, it was determined by the market, and the risks were naturally borne by investors, but what about investment or speculation outside the market? Housing speculation can be left alone, because there are government interests in it, and indulgence for profit also makes sense, but what about soybeans, coal, pork, and now garlic?

I believe that everyone understands the truth that rice is cheap and hurts farmers, and there is also a painful lesson, after the surge must be a plunge, the essence of investment or speculation is profit-seeking, there is no philanthropist here, and there is no faith at all, only to add fuel to the fire, only to take advantage of the danger of others.

Regardless of national security, behind the frequent speculation are the ups and downs of prices, the decline in the quality of life and safety of ordinary people, and the heavy setback in the confidence and enthusiasm of producers.

When the market is unable to effectively control the situation, it is believed that the role of the government's actions in stabilizing the market, stabilizing the people's will, and even stabilizing the dominant position is clear and clear, and the government's actions not only play a regulatory role, but can also effectively crack down on speculation and speculation, and purify the social and economic environment.

It should be said that this is not an era of material scarcity, and it is not very difficult to crack down on hoarding, speculation, buying and selling, and the key lies in the government's stance and concept.

Since the implementation of the tax-sharing system, local governments and the central government have eaten separately, and taxation has become the foundation of the survival and development of local governments, and the assessment of GDP and growth rate is also the national security seems to have nothing to do with local governments, and it is entirely a matter of the central government, which is also an important reason for the inaction and non-intervention of local governments in many things, and it is also a contradiction.

In the face of speculation, the role of local governments is often to add fuel to the fire, because these speculations can significantly improve the local economic strength, and there is investment, which directly drives GDP, employment, and tax revenue. In the face of these open interests, all other government trustworthiness and government prestige cannot be taken into account.

This is not a lie, nor is it speculation, behind many malicious speculations, we can not see the government's actions, let alone the local government's crackdown measures on speculation, last year's wild speculation of Pu'er tea, this year's surge in garlic, can you see the shadow of the government, but Simao City took advantage of the situation to change its name to Pu'er City, which can be described as a great joy.

But who will protect the interests of the people, the soaring price of pork, directly led to the rise of upstream and downstream prices, and now the price has fallen, but the upstream and downstream prices have not fallen with the price of pork, but all the way up, because there are too many factors to pry the price increase, which kind of price fluctuations may bring about a rise in prices, but the people's income has not risen in response to the trend, this frequent wave of rise, the social turmoil caused by it is just to shift the responsibility to speculative speculation?

Let's take a sober look, if our government is still a people's government, it should do something, and it should not just be a tax bureau, or just a food bureau. ”

The topic gradually focused on the issue of people's livelihood, which also triggered more discussions, "The two sessions are held every year, and this year's two sessions coincide with the background of the international financial crisis, facing the economic difficulties of shrinking exports, insufficient employment, and sluggish domestic demand across the country, so it is particularly concerning."

In the face of the predicament, all parties responded enthusiastically, and basically revolved around the idea of expanding domestic demand and promoting consumption, and there were many useful suggestions.

However, there have also been quite a few so-called righteous opinions, most of which are nothing more than 'raising the prices of agricultural products on a large scale,' 'raising the prices of primary products,' 'expanding state subsidies to peasants,' and so on, and the reasons are all unusually the same -- promoting consumption and expanding domestic demand.

Not only do I feel perplexed by the fact that the deputies and members of the two sessions come from all walks of life, and why are they all concerned about the rural and peasant issues, and why is it that no one is concerned about the survival and interests of the people in the cities and on the periphery of the cities?

With the process of urbanization and economic and social development, the rapid increase in the urban population, especially the middle- and low-income urban population, has far exceeded the growth of the rural population. None of them came to investigate and pay attention? Do you have to go to the countryside and get a corn cob to appeal?

Expanding domestic demand and promoting consumption is the overall situation, and it is a major matter that needs to take into account the interests and endurance of all parties.

Needless to say, in recent years, urban life has indeed been much better, and affluent people have also appeared on a large scale, but in some cities where traditional industries are concentrated, especially some state-owned enterprises in the past, due to single products, aging equipment, or bankruptcy, or restructuring, there are still many enterprise workers whose income is close to or slightly exceeds the local minimum living security line, and life difficulties can be seen everywhere. Every fluctuation in prices has a direct impact on their survival and three meals a day.

I believe that among our deputies and committee members, there are absolutely no people who are living in poverty, without food and clothing, and no one is experiencing this, they have high incomes, sitting in halls and pavilions, they are not entrepreneurs or officials, or they are royal scholars of this class, are there civilians in their eyes? Do they really represent civilians in their so-called endorsements?

Regardless of the international environment, is China's recent economic predicament related to the rise in the means of production and raw materials last year, and the manipulation of prices by leading enterprises in agricultural products? The irrational rise in prices and the panic in society as a whole have caused the state to exert great efforts to control prices and control the scale, and as a result, prices have been brought under control and the overall economic vitality of society has also weakened. This is a lesson that must be learned, and it is a tuition fee that must be paid in violation of the laws of the social economy, so we must calm down and study not only the stability of the rural areas and the increase of peasants' incomes, but also the life and stability of the urban common people, otherwise we will still taste the bitterness in tossing back and forth.

I really hope that there will be fewer unrealistic empty theories, less gimmicks and hype, more spokesmen for the common people in the cities, and more deputies and committee members who speak for them. Zheng Ming's words not only speak of the grim reality, but also make the thinking have a deeper meaning.

The debriefing meeting did not end until near noon, and in the past, a lunch was arranged, but at the suggestion of most of the veteran comrades, such procedures and cut-offs were naturally avoided, and some gifts were prepared to show some respect. After all, they are all leaders and understand what it means to eat, but today they want to leave Yan Bonian no matter what, and they won't let him go, Yan Bonian also realized that the secretary and the governor have something to talk to him about alone, so he didn't say anything and sat silently. This is the arrangement that Zhang Wei said on the way here, so after the meeting, Yan Bonian still had something to talk about
