Maybe the supreme leader won't think so, and will still support him as always, but the other bigwigs may not, especially those conservative old men.

Those "good people" who have been nurtured by traditional Confucianism all their lives will definitely be in trouble, can the supreme leader withstand the attack of those people? If he makes a vigorous and resolute move, will it bring a shadow to China's reform?

Guo Zhuocheng did not have an absolute grasp of predicting the consequences in the future, forcing him to be cautious. He hoped that Chu Xuji, the iron-fisted prime minister in his previous life, would accept his own ideas and methods, and let him implement them in Iraq, instead of Guo Zhuocheng himself coming forward, and if he could solve the problem, maybe he would not be able to alarm the big guys.

It's a pity that he was disappointed, although he wrote a letter to Chu Xuji, in which he gave the iron-fisted prime minister in his previous life a clear hint, but Chu Xuji did not make as drastic rectification as Guo Shucheng expected, and the situation there still did not change much.

At the beginning, Guo Zhuocheng had a belly of anger in his heart, and felt that Chu Xuji was a bit unworthy of his name, and let himself waste his feelings. However, after thinking carefully for a while, Guo Zhuocheng still "forgiven" him, believing that he also had his own difficulties, and that an iron-fisted prime minister could not use an iron fist at any time, and that he was not yet qualified to adopt iron-fisted measures, especially when dealing with old comrades who were older than him, held higher positions than him, and had deeper qualifications than him, he could not hold an iron fist at all.

In his previous life, he was able to adopt an iron fist because he was at the top of the country's power, and he was able to command almost all powerful people and all relevant departments of power to be his strong backing, and what he did in his previous life was in line with the will of the people and the will of the people, so he could show an iron fist, so he was able to kill corrupt officials and eliminate corrupt officials.

But now he doesn't have such a lot of power at all, and he doesn't have this foundation. didn't have enough connections, Guo Zhuocheng raised him to this position at once, it was completely promoted by pulling out seedlings, a bit idealistic, and then asking him to move forward bravely was simply forcing him to commit suicide.

Sitting on the bus back to Beijing, Guo Zhuocheng pondered ways to solve the problem of the Iraqi construction site.

He returned to the capital in a hurry and was immediately taken to the conference room by the staff.

Because the meeting was being held, Guo Zhuocheng entered through the back door and quietly sat in an inconspicuous position, listening carefully to the speeches of the leaders.

The theme of the economic conference is how to deal with the current soaring prices in the market.

When a large number of Chinese products, especially military products, were shipped to Middle Eastern countries, many of China's military and civilian enterprises were suddenly reborn from the predicament, and their economic conditions were vastly different from those of their previous lives. Although the export of a large number of products has brought huge amounts of foreign exchange to China, it has also brought about many undesirable consequences: it has further raised domestic prices, and the prices of some products have even turned their heads upward.

Because China is not rich in commodities at this time, it can be said that most commodities are in short supply. In the beginning, it was just a lack of raw materials for factory production. But with the export of a large number of materials, even agricultural products began to become scarce, especially cotton, jute, castor, peanuts and other cash crops.

Although the rise in prices is not necessarily a bad thing because of exports, not only has the country increased a lot of foreign exchange earnings, but also the farmers who grow cash crops have also increased a lot of income, but after all, China's land area is too large, and the number of people in all walks of life is too large, and the imbalance between regions and between industries is suddenly revealed. There are many people who benefit from large exports, but there are also many people who have not only not benefited but have suffered.

For example, many farmers in the interior or remote areas do not enjoy this benefit, for example, many workers in enterprises that are not in the relevant fields of the export industry do not enjoy this benefit.

If it's a farmer, it's okay to say, anyway, if you farm your own land, you can guarantee that you can eat if you don't sell the food you grow, but your clothes are a little torn and you don't have the money to buy electrical appliances or something. But poor enterprises can't, because the factory's products can't be exported, their efficiency can't be improved, and their wages can't even be guaranteed to be paid 100 percent, let alone bonuses. They cried without tears in the face of soaring food, cloth, and electrical appliances, as well as the increased tuition and miscellaneous expenses of their children.

These enterprises are not a small number, and the market demand in Iraq and Iran is simply impossible to support such a huge market as China, and many workers and cadres have begun to report the situation to their superiors and strongly demand that the difficulties in their lives be solved.

After receiving a report that came like snowflakes, the bigwigs were also anxious and had to find a solution.

The current bigwigs do not yet have the habit of passing the buck, they have not justified themselves with the word "paying tuition" at every turn, and they have not used the "labor pains of reform" to evade responsibility at every turn. They are seriously thinking and trying to find a balanced solution, which must not turn a good thing into a bad thing, let alone provoke social turmoil.

Guo Zhuocheng is still a little frightened by this kind of national event, although he also served as mayor in his previous life, and he has been exposed to more situations in this life than in his previous life, but, in general, he has implemented more and made fewer decisions in terms of national affairs. Even the decisions are made within the scope of national policy and within the scope of his management, not for such a large scale and such a complex scene.

Especially now, no matter what you do, you have to sacrifice the interests of some people, and this part of the people is not a small number of people in people's minds, even if the proportion is not large, but the total number involved is millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of people.

With rising prices and a shortage of materials, the most effective way is naturally to strengthen production and invest more money, manpower, and effort to increase production to meet people's needs. However, this kind of change is not so easy, not to mention that the transfer of capital, manpower and labor will harm those neglected industries and enterprises, that is, the transfer of these precious funds, manpower and labor will also be a big problem.

You may not have any impression of these great truths, and you may not feel the difficulty of this matter, but a small example will illustrate the problem. For example, to expand the production of cotton cloth to meet the needs of exports and domestic people, it is necessary to increase the purchase of cotton first, on the one hand, to increase the price of cotton to buy more cotton, so that farmers can taste more sweetness to help them carry out planting transfer; On the one hand, it is necessary to encourage peasants to expand their production area and invest more funds in the purchase of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and fine seeds.

There is only so much land, and when the area of cotton planted by farmers increases, there will be less land for growing rice, wheat and other crops. Even if this food problem is solved, what will the urban workers think when the rich cotton farmers rush to the market with a large amount of money and sweep the goods on the market and cause prices to rise? With their own wages not rising and their materials getting higher and higher, how can they be calm?

All in all, the problem is complex, and any idea of solving it lightly is naïve.

At this important economic meeting, Guo was not asked to speak, but listened attentively to the heated discussions among the leaders.

He didn't have much to worry about, because he believed that the bigwigs in Zhongyāng could come up with a good solution. In the previous life, without him, the country developed very well, the economy developed rapidly, and now with such a good economic foundation and such a good external environment, there is no reason why it will be worse than in the previous life.

He attended this meeting with an attitude of learning and learning the methods of governing the country of the bigwigs. Perhaps, this was also an important reason why the supreme leader informed him to participate in the meeting.

After the meeting ended, Guo Zhuocheng received news that Chu Xuji was already waiting for him.

After thinking about it for a while, he asked people to inform Chu Xuji to come here, and at the same time he walked to Vice Premier Yu Gangqiu, who was about to go back, and asked him to listen to Comrade Chu Xuji's report together.

Yu Gangqiu looked at Guo Zhuocheng with a little surprise and asked, "Aren't you fully responsible for this?" What are you bothering me for? ”

Guo replied a little angrily: "Vice Premier Yu, have you heard about the trouble that happened in Iraq?" Our comrades all have a high ideological realm, they all want to be great and good people, they don't want to be invaders, and they don't want to engage in colonies. It's as if we're looking for oil there and we're plundering other people's resources, as if the Iraqi people don't do any good. I just want to use your evil spirit today to knock and beat them. ”

Yu Gangqiu looked at Guo Zhuocheng, nodded with a sneer, and said, "I knew that you kid didn't have a good mind, it turned out that you were using Zhong Kui to fight ghosts." When you're done using it, are you going to throw us old guys across the river? ......, how do you feel after listening to today's economic meeting? You have to think about it, and when you go back, write me a material and talk about your Fa. ......, don't be bitter about this face, what to pretend? The organization didn't call you back to give you a vacation to rest. ”

Guo Zhuocheng smiled wryly and said, "Isn't the matter here in Iraq also a big deal? ”

Yu Gangqiu said, "Okay." You make some preparations, and I'll be there later. As he was about to leave, he obviously thought of something, and said with a smile, "By the way, I almost forgot to ask you." You're not scared in Da (Lian), are you? What is the status of the case? ”

Guo Shucheng shook his head and said, "It's okay." You say I'm someone who can be scared by a bullet, don't you? A lot of progress has been made in the case, and the suspect has been locked, but the person has not been caught. However, he didn't have a gun in his hand, and he did, but it wouldn't be huge. It is believed that it will not be long before he is caught. ”

Yu Gangqiu nodded approvingly and said, "Not bad." I have heard that the leaders of the Ministry of Public Security changed the direction of the investigation only after listening to your analysis, and it was you who clearly denied the espionage case and denied that it was aimed at you. You kid is better than the public security officer, I didn't expect it. ”
