Chapter 1891: The Tree Without Roots

Shao Yiping's article is not long, only four or five thousand words. Liu Jun watched it for almost half an hour, and even saw the back, and occasionally looked at the front part to make a comparison.

Liu Jun put down the magazine, took out a cigarette and lit it, frowned slightly, and remained silent.

Mr. Zhou and Mr. Shao Yiping also smoked separately and did not speak.

This article must not be taken lightly. It should be said that theoretical journals themselves allow for a variety of different points of view. If the articles published in "Horn" are all in the same tone, then it is very debatable whether this journal still has the value of existence. Even during the period of great turmoil, the political pressure was so heavy, and the "Horn" publication also made some "harsh" sounds.

After all, the current environment is far more relaxed than during the great turmoil, and for some time, different theoretical views have emerged one after another, and it is not an exaggeration to say that a hundred flowers are blooming and a hundred schools of thought are contending.

However, at such a critical moment, directly targeting Yu Xianghong is almost naming names, and it cannot but be said to be a political bombshell.

The mere fact that this article appeared in Clarion magazine is telling.

People who don't know the inside story will undoubtedly regard this as Yan Liu's intention. However, as far as Liu Jun knows, Shao Yiping is indeed out of line with other bigwigs in the Yan Liu family, and because of Mr. Zhou's relationship, he has a little intersection with him. Between them, there is not much friendship. Shao Yiping is not a person who can influence him and let him act as a pawn.

Maybe Mr. Zhou can barely do it.

But Liu Jun knew that Mr. Zhou must not have known about it in advance. If Mr. Zhou wanted Shao Yiping to do this, or if he agreed, he would definitely talk to Yan Yucheng first, and maybe mention a few words to him on the phone. Mr. Zhou has retired from the second line for many years, but his political sensitivity has not diminished at all.

Yan Liu's department has already started a war with that side, and it is not unruly to publish such an article at this time, but if it is arranged in advance, it must be coordinated. Fighting separately is prone to problems in connection.

It was not Mr. Zhou's preference, but the editor of "Horn" dared to let this article be published, which shows that he was quite bold.

Thinking about it, it seems that the influence of this faction on the propaganda front can also be understood.

Mr. Zhou, Rong Baichuan and others have successively served as ministers of the Central Propaganda Department, and Yang Yuanyi has also served as the director of the Cadres Bureau of the Central Propaganda Department. With such a connection, such a sensitive article was published in a grand manner.

"Uncle, Yiping, judging from the article itself, I agree with Yiping's point of view. We have indeed not done enough to supervise and restrain the power of the principal party and government leaders. This problem does not only exist in Pearl City, but also exists in many other provinces and cities to varying degrees......"

After taking a few puffs of cigarettes, Liu Jun said slowly.

Shao Yiping said: "But the situation on Mingzhu's side is particularly obvious. To be honest, I can understand if this happens in a backward area. The economy in those areas is underdeveloped, the level of education of the masses is not very high, and some feudal remnants of ideas are still prevalent. Whether it is among the leading strata or among the masses at the grassroots level, the influence of the idea of the official standard is very deep. It will not happen overnight to change this state. However, this situation is quite puzzling when it is so prominent in Pearl City. ”

Mr. Zhou didn't seem to particularly care about the "political implications" of this matter, as if he really discussed it as an academic issue, his face was calm, and even with a slight smile, he said: "Then tell me, why is this situation in Pearl City incomprehensible?" ”

Shao Yiping thought for a while and said cautiously: "Pearl City is second to none in China in terms of the level of economic development and the education level of the masses. In other words, both the officials and the masses possess the basic qualities of democracy. In the past, I had great expectations for Mingzhu, and when they introduced the measure to supervise the power of cadres, I was very excited for a while......"

A smile flashed across the corner of Yoo Jun's mouth.

The "power supervision measures" that Shao Yiping refers to are also known to Liu Jun. In the past two years, the Organization Department of the Mingzhu Municipal Party Committee launched a pilot project to supervise and restrain power in the grass-roots party committees and governments, and to carry out certain restraints and balances through the relevant operations of the people's congress and the CPPCC.

At that time, this pilot project and related measures were publicized with great fanfare on the Mingzhu side, which also aroused strong repercussions within the party and theoretical circles, and there was a "applause" everywhere. Some neighboring provinces and municipalities also sent delegations to Mingzhu City to "learn from experience," and even the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, led by a vice minister, went to Mingzhu to inspect and fully affirm this measure. If the pilot operation is successful, it will be considered for roll-out in other provinces and cities across the country.

However, the end result is that a number of officials have benefited from this and have been promoted and reused. As for the promotion in other provinces and cities across the country, there is no follow-up. So far, it is also a pilot county. It seems that many people are vying to go to that pilot county to serve as the secretary of the county party committee, and they are willing to hand over their power to everyone to supervise and restrain them, so as to show their democratic mind.

Because as we all know, after "democracy", it often means promotion and reuse.

Good thing, I've found a shortcut to the up.

It's strange not to fight for the head

Speaking of which, Comrade Yu Xianghong relied on similar hype techniques to get on the helicopter.

Liu Jun is well aware that under the current system, any similar attempt is actually a tree without roots. Liu Jun's goal is very realistic, that is, to supervise from top to bottom and strictly control the promotion of cadres. Only when the quality of grassroots cadres is improved can the atmosphere of the entire officialdom improve, and can we truly devote more energy to doing things for the people.

The difficulty is great, but at least not without a little hope of success.

Bottom-up supervision......

Shao Yiping continued: "...... But then I found out that their pilot was basically a show, and I was disappointed. If an environment like Pearl City can only create an official position and a large number of petitioners, then ......"

Mr. Zhou waved his hand and said, "Yiping, theoretical discussion is mainly theory. If you are too connected with reality, you will go astray. ”

Yoo Jun smiled lightly again.

It can be seen that Mr. Zhou really appreciates and cares for Shao Yiping. I am afraid that his intellectual stubbornness will flare up, and if he continues to work hard, he will inevitably poke out a big basket. is this article, in fact, it has put Shao Yiping in a "dangerous" situation. I guess this will, I don't know how many big people are thunderous after reading the article.

There is no doubt that there will be many people who attribute this to another offensive step of the Yan Liu system. Occupying the theoretical commanding heights and seizing the propaganda and public opinion position is precisely the consistent method of political struggle. Others may be helpless to deal with high-level figures in the Yan Liu family, but it is much simpler to deal with an intellectual, who has no power and no power, Shao Yiping. There are many ways for him to "learn a deep lesson".

The key problem is that this matter is really not Yan Liu's intention. In other words, if someone wants to target Shao Yiping, it will be difficult for Shao Yiping to obtain strong protection.

"Yiping, I suggest that you study more theories, especially the basic tenets of Marxist philosophy, for a period of time in the future, and strive to understand and understand them, and not connect them too much with reality."

Mr. Zhou said slowly.

"But, teacher, don't you always teach us to integrate theory with practice?"

Shao Yiping was a little anxious and raised a rare objection in front of Mr. Zhou.

Mr. Zhou's snow-white eyebrows frowned slightly, and said: "There is a limit to the connection between theory and practice. The basic principles of Marxist philosophy must first be understood. After all, the era in which Marx lived was more than 100 years ago. The environment in which he lives is also very different from the environment we are in today. You have to grasp the difference between these. Rigidly reliant theories and practice sometimes lead them astray. ”

Shao Yiping was slightly taken aback, and said in a low voice.

Being able to obtain two doctorates shows that Shao Yiping is not stupid. He belongs to the kind of typical intellectuals, who are arrogant and arrogant, and often have the ambition of worrying about the country and the people in his chest, knowing that some of his remarks will be hated by others, and he can't care about the ideals in his heart. Now that Mr. Zhou has reminded him repeatedly, he understands that this matter is indeed too sensitive and is likely to pose a certain threat to his personal safety. The teacher has a loving heart, how can Shao Yiping not understand?

When Mr. Zhou put aside this topic and brought up another theoretical topic. The three masters and apprentices had a very heated discussion. Purely theoretical topics are easier to discuss.

At the end of the two hours, Shao Yiping looked at his watch, then got up and politely bid farewell to Mr. Zhou and Liu Jun. Sometimes, Mr. Zhou's students would stay for dinner. My wife is very lively, and I wish there were guests to sit and eat together every day. However, Shao Yiping knew that Mr. Zhou and Liu Jun must have other topics to discuss, and it was not suitable for him to "listen" on the side. After all, these two are both high-ranking party cadres.

Mr. Zhou didn't hold back, smiling and nodding.

Looking at Shao Yiping's slightly thin back, Liu Jun's eyebrows frowned slightly, and said, "Uncle, I think it's necessary for you to come forward." I'm worried that someone will be bad for Yiping. ”

Shao Yiping was inadvertently involved in this huge whirlpool, and Liu Junya didn't want him to suffer any accidents. Political struggles should not affect such relatively simple intellectuals. With Mr. Zhou's high prestige and Shao Yiping's mentorship, it is more appropriate for him to come forward and give Shao Yiping a "talisman" than others.

Mr. Zhou nodded slowly, looking a little worried.
