He Haifeng followed the teacher to the office, the two sides sat down, the teacher poured water for He Haifeng, and then asked, "Haifeng, how did you think about the matter you talked to you last time?" ”

He Haifeng said: "I have thought about it, and I obey the organizational arrangements regarding the work of the State Economic System Reform Commission, which is being established. I'm just worried that I don't have the ability to do such an important job. ”

The teacher smiled: "Ability is cultivated slowly. I have observed, you have a very clear mind, a very open mind, and you have long-term experience in grassroots work, and you have a very thorough understanding of the policy of reform and opening up. ”

He Haifeng said: "The teacher has won the award. In fact, I won't tell you the truth, some of my thoughts have also been communicated with Comrade Lin Zhenhua, and his thinking is much more open than mine. I feel that although he is just a retired soldier and an ordinary young worker, his views on economic trends and international political situations are no less than those of us directors of ministries and departments. ”

The teacher smiled and said, "Haifeng, I think you seem to be very protective of this Lin Zhenhua." ”

He Haifeng smiled embarrassedly: "Talent is rare, if he is allowed to fall behind because of such a thing, I think it will be a loss to the cause of reform." ”

"Don't you think Lin Zhenhua's reform has gone too far?"

He Haifeng said: "Teacher, forgive me for being presumptuous, I think he is walking too fast at best. ”

"Oh?" The teacher smiled slightly, "Haifeng, tell me, why are you walking too fast?" ”

He Haifeng said: "Last time, Professor Li Ning from Peking University came to give a lecture and introduced us to some views on the joint-stock system, and I think what he said is very reasonable. Of course, our country needs to persist in taking public ownership as the mainstay, but appropriately developing some non-public systems is also a useful supplement to public ownership. At present, the private economy is already on the rise in various localities, and some peasants who have become rich have a large amount of surplus money in their hands, and if we do not allow them to devote themselves to economic life, this will be a waste of funds for national construction. ”

"They can keep their money in the bank, isn't this also supporting national construction?" The teacher retorted.

He Haifeng said: "I work at the grassroots level, and I know that although we have been talking about public and selfless for many years, there are still not many people who can really do this. Some people, when they do things for the public, are passive and slacking off; And when you do some private work for yourself, you will be alive and well. We cannot blame such people. There is nothing wrong with letting them own their own businesses and develop together with the state-owned economy. ”

The teacher nodded: "Haifeng, your mind has always been so open, and it is very consistent with the thinking of the central leaders." I hope that after you arrive at the Commission, you will be able to maintain this spirit of openness as always. ”

"So, teacher, how did Lin Zhenhua decide on his surname? Will he be in trouble? ”

The teacher smiled and said, "Lin Zhenhua, this matter is no longer a big problem, you don't have to worry." ”

He Haifeng saw some clues from the teacher's expression, and he asked excitedly, "What's the matter, there is a conclusion on it?" ”

The teacher took out a document from the drawer and said, "This is a photocopy forwarded from the Secretariat, and the instructions on it are written by Comrade Xiaoping himself." ”

"Can I watch it?" He Haifeng asked in fear.

"Absolutely." As the teacher spoke, he handed the document to He Haifeng and said, "Haifeng, if you enter the System Reform Commission in the future, you will be able to see this kind of instructions from the central leadership every day." But you have to understand the discipline, what you see, what you shouldn't preach, you know? ”

"I understand."

He Haifeng took the document, glanced at it, and knew that this was the internal reference they had discussed in class today, and what he was interested in was a line of instructions on the corner of the page, which was only twelve words:

"No publicity, no restrictions, no excuses to strike."

Among them, the last "no" was written "do not strike" at the beginning, and then the writer added the words "have to borrow" on it. The difference between these three words is extraordinary, it means that it warns some disgruntled people that not only can they not make things difficult for Lin Zhenhua with this matter, but even the option of finding other names to make things difficult has been blocked. With such an instruction, Lin Zhenhua is equivalent to opening a plug-in in the game, and has a talisman that is invulnerable and invulnerable.

In real history, there has been a similar thing, that is, about the fool and the king of the fool who hired a laborer for a long time. At that time, officials at the grassroots level were not sure whether this practice of hiring workers was in line with the policy, so they drafted an "opinion on the handling of the problem of private owners employing more than the prescribed number of workers" and asked the central authorities for instructions. When this opinion came into the hands of Comrade Xiaoping, he instructed as follows: Let it be left for two years and then look at it.

According to Xiaoping's instructions, the central authorities put forward the principle of three noes: It is not advisable to advocate, not to publicize it publicly, and not to rush to ban it. This principle of three noes is equivalent to directly holding up a protective umbrella for Nian Guangjiu, allowing him to safely survive the fierce collision between the old and new systems. After a few years, many of the debates finally settled down, and the issue of employment was no longer off-limits.

As a person who has been in the officialdom for a long time and has experienced countless [***], He Haifeng knows too well what the meaning of such an instruction is, and he said happily: "This is simply great!" ”

The teacher also laughed: "A few of our old men watched it, and they all said that Lin Zhenhua, this kid, was simply lucky with shit." Comrade Xiaoping's instruction is equivalent to putting a hard hat on him, and even if he hits the sky into a hole in the future, no one will dare to care. ”

He Haifeng hurriedly said: "Teacher, it's not like this, you see, isn't there a requirement that is not publicized, and it is still put in the first place." It can be seen that the central leadership still has reservations about this matter. ”

The teacher said, "Yes, it is said that there is a lot of debate in the secretariat about this matter. The views are similar to those in today's class. In the end, the Secretariat could only hand the report to Comrade Xiaoping. Comrade Xiaoping believes that this is a phenomenon that has emerged in the course of reform, and it is too early to draw conclusions, so it is not appropriate to carry out propaganda. At the same time, Comrade Xiaoping also pointed out that there is nothing wrong with this direction, and the steps can be taken a little bigger. Therefore, there is such an instruction. ”

"Teacher, can I reveal the content of this instruction to Xiao Lin, he is the party, this should not violate the principle, right?" He Haifeng asked timidly, "If he is kept in the dark, I am afraid that he will not dare to explore boldly, and this is not in line with Comrade Xiaoping's intentions, right?" ”

The teacher said, "That's why I'm looking for you." The rector gave us the task of organizing an investigation team to go to Jiangnan Province to summarize the case and try to dig out some enlightening details. In addition, this investigation group also has the task of giving Comrade Lin Zhenhua some guidance in terms of policy, so as to prevent him from going down the wrong path in his exploration. The team leader is our Vice President Wang, who is relatively old and not suitable for on-site research. Since you said that you have a very good relationship with Comrade Lin Zhenhua, I consider that you should be the deputy head of this investigation team and be responsible for leading the team to Jiangnan Province. What do you think? ”

He Haifeng said: "I am very grateful to the school for putting such a burden on me, but I am really afraid that I will not be able to do it." ”

The teacher said, "Don't be afraid. The principal has an instruction for this investigation, that is, 'listen more, watch more, and talk less,' and your task is mainly to sum up experience and not interfere in the reform and innovation of grassroots comrades. When necessary, you can give some kind reminders as friends and teachers. ”

He Haifeng said: "In this case, can we change the name, the name of the investigation team is really scary, we are called the research group, how about it?" ”

"Research group? Well, that's good. The teacher nodded and said, "I will ask the principal for instructions, and I will go down in the name of the research group of the Central Party School, so as to avoid giving people the feeling of being superior." ”

"With the Jiangnan Provincial Department of Light Chemistry, should we get in touch?"

"It is necessary to get in touch with them, and appropriately reveal to them the spirit of the central instructions. I estimate that if Comrade Lin Zhenhua's reform will encounter some resistance, then the main resistance will come from his direct leadership department, that is, the Jiangnan Provincial Department of Light Chemistry. ”

He Haifeng smiled: "Teacher, how do I feel that you are also very interested in Xiaolin?" Listening to what you mean, in fact, let me go down to support Xiaolin on your behalf. ”

The teacher said: "It is not enough to support it, but we should give necessary protection to such reformers." This kind of protection is to help him avoid making mistakes, and second, to help him avoid unnecessary interference. Reform is an unprecedented undertaking for mankind, and it is necessary to allow mistakes to be made, but it cannot be tolerated for fear of making mistakes. This is the significance of Comrade Lin Zhenhua's reform exploration. ”

"Understood, teacher, don't worry, I will definitely convey to him the concern of you and the central leaders for Xiaolin, so that he can feel comfortable and explore boldly!"

"Haifeng, we are all old, as [***] said, the world is yours and ours, but in the final analysis, it is still yours. A comrade like Lin Zhenhua is like the sun at ** o'clock in the morning. After all, the cause created by our revolutionary life will be handed over to these young people. Go ahead, say to Comrade Xiaolin, don't be afraid, boldly break through, we old fellows, not only will we help them on the horse, but also send them on another ride. ”
