Another important reason for North Korea's economic lag is institutional problems.

As we all know, North Korea is a highly public-owned country, and everything belongs to the state...... Strictly speaking, it can be said that it belongs to the Kim family and those privileged classes... The characteristic is the plan, the whole country as a game of chess to plan as a whole, the national economy to the end, in the words of the people, that is, to eat a "big pot of rice".

We are all very clear about the disadvantages of eating this kind of big pot rice, so there is no need to repeat it. It is said that when Kim I was alive, he was also trying to grasp economic construction, and even if North Korea's economic construction work was delayed and inefficient, there should have been some results, but this is not the case at all.

As early as 1956, after the end of the Korean War, Kim I proposed at that time to "organize and mobilize the masses of the people to show their enthusiasm in the implementation of the national economic plan for the next year, and set off a new upsurge in the construction of the planned economy." ”

This is the famous Maxima sport.

Looking at the official information of North Korea, we can see such a set of data, saying that during the 46 years of North Korea's administration, from 1948 to 1994, Kim I inspected a total of 20,600 units, of which he spent days inspecting and guiding the work at the front line of the grassroots level. That's the equivalent of 23 years. He traveled more than 570,000 kilometers, and even a few days before his death, Jin I went to the countryside to inspect his work.

Of course, this report came from the North Korean official and media, and we all know what kind of attitude North Korea has towards the propaganda of the Kim family and his son, and they have to exaggerate it to 100 points, so it is debatable whether this official statement is accurate. Even to put it mildly, the ghost knows if Jin Yi went down to draft a girl?

But in any case, one thing is certain, this propaganda figure is absolutely terrifying, if in the 46 years from 1948 to 1994, Kim I really spent more than 23 years at the grassroots level, then in these 46 years, North Korea's economy will definitely catch up with the United States, but what is the fact?

In 46 years, half of the time was spent visiting the grassroots, and in the end, the economy was not as good as 46 years, which probably only shows that Jin I was incompetent, but was Jin I really incompetent? Not necessarily, if he was really so incompetent, he would not have been able to sit comfortably on the throne of the king of North Korea for so long and pass the throne so smoothly to his son, and now to his grandson.

After sighing with emotion, Zhang Lan noticed that the owner of the restaurant had already brought their specialty dishes.

It is said to be a specialty dish, but in fact, it is just the most ordinary fried beef, but probably because their "beloved" general secretary came, and the chef of the restaurant took out his whole thing, and the two pieces of beef that had been served looked really good.

However, in Zhang Lan's opinion, these two fried beef are just like this, there is no seasoning beef and there is no taste in advance, strictly speaking, it is not as delicious as those mobile vendors pushing carts and trolleys on the roadside in China. But Zhang Lan's surroundings suddenly had a low sound of swallowing saliva.

North Korea's materials are very poor, not to mention that the staple food is not enough to eat, meat, eggs, poultry and other non-staple foods are extremely lacking, speaking of which the life of North Korea is indeed very hard, even the grassroots government leaders, it is extremely difficult to eat a meal of meat all year round, and now I see this "fragrant" meat in front of my eyes, Jin Xiaosan and other high-level cadres are fine, and the people around them can't help the gluttony in their stomachs.

However, the more poor and backward they are, the more they respond to the phrase "poor mountains and bad waters make more troubled people"; North Korea's reckless military force is notorious, not only is a considerable proportion of North Korea's financial revenue used for military purposes every year, but the combat effectiveness of the North Korean soldiers is also quite good, they are not afraid of war, and they can sacrifice for their leaders at any time.

This can also be understood, if you are alive, you just can't starve, it's hard to eat a full meal, but if you can die in a glorious battle, your family will be supported by the state, although there is still no way to guarantee that you can eat enough, but at least you won't starve to death. Sacrificing oneself in exchange for the survival of the entire family is something that any North Korean can calculate...... Speaking of which, this approach is hard enough, but if there is a way, who would choose to do it? …,

Seeing the disapproving expressions on the faces of Zhang Lan and Zhang Chenxi, and listening to the faint sound of swallowing saliva coming from his side, Jin Xiaosan's heart just came out of his heart and wanted to show off to Zhang Lan was completely gone, just now, Jin Xiaosan said, "Mr. Zhang, how is it, our North Korean beef tastes good, right?" The words had already rushed to his mouth, but he swallowed it back hard, and it became the current sentence, "Mr. Zhang Lan, Miss Chenxi, come, try our authentic Korean specialties." ”

Since Jin Xiaosan has extended an invitation to himself as the dignified supreme leader of North Korea, even out of respect for the other party, Zhang Lan and Xiao Chenxi have to give him a face, so they naturally nodded with a smile, "Okay, thank you, Mr. Kim." ”

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of chopsticks that had already been prepared by the restaurant and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed a few bites, and nodded with a smile, "Yes, it tastes very authentic." ”

Jin Xiaosan, who has been paying attention to Zhang Lan's reaction, is just like having nothing at home but taking out the most proud thing in his house to entertain the guests, but he is afraid that the guests will not be satisfied, and now he is very relieved to see the satisfied expressions of the guests!

On the one hand, the domestic economic situation is extremely bad, although North Korea has not officially announced it, but judging by various indications, North Korea has starved to death every year in recent years; On the other hand, North Korea is a country that loves face, as can be seen from their absurd rule that "it is against the law to wear unclean or patched clothes on the streets."

While Jin Xiaosan was observing Zhang Lan's reaction, the people around him were also observing Jin Xiaosan's reaction, and seeing Jin Xiaosan's face with a satisfied expression, these people were also relieved.

Kim Xiaosan does not have a comprehensive grasp of North Korea now, and the real person who is talking about North Korea now is the "regent" Jang Song-taek, and from this point of view, these people should not be so "flattering" to Kim Xiaosan. Politicians are not ordinary people who can be fooled by them, who really think that the Kim family is really chosen by God to rule North Korea, they only know one thing, everything speaks with the power in their hands, that is, with strength.

The current Jin Xiaosan does not have much power in his hands, and these old politicians seem to be a little unreasonable for Jin Xiaosan to be so flattering...... It's not in line with the slick character of these old guys.
