Charts are silently pasted on the blackboard, but the data speaks louder than anything else. Thirty years ago, the per capita food supply was very low, that is, it was a point of starvation. From 1870 onwards, the supply of oil increased by leaps and bounds. After 1875, with the development of Northeast China as a turning point, the country's supply of commercial grain increased by leaps and bounds. After 1880, with the popularization of high-quality alfalfa and the large transportation of alfalfa from East Africa, the supply of meat in the coastal urban areas of the country increased by leaps and bounds.

"The changes in life can be seen in many places, the income of the factory has increased a lot in recent years, but the price of leather shoes has not risen but fallen. Almost everyone has the money to afford leather shoes. Now that there has been a new improvement in the sole material of cloth shoes, there is an increase in interest in lighter cloth shoes. The Minister of Agriculture glanced around and said in a somewhat sell-off manner, "Don't think that leather shoes have nothing to do with food. If you can't raise so many animals, where will there be so many skins to wear on your feet? People don't have enough to eat, so what do they take to feed their livestock? ”

Hu Chenghe felt that these things did not seem to have much to do with what the previous Minister of Agriculture said that "supply and demand have been imbalanced", and he asked: "Then tell me, what happened?" ”

"What happened?" Prime Minister Levi's took over the conversation, "China has now been divided into two. The old countryside is one China, and the new city-centered system is another China. The new China no longer needs the products provided by the old China, so the old China is generally poor and poor, while the new China is getting richer and richer. ”

Ruan Xihao was very unhappy with Levi's, and looking at Levi's very grand speech, he had the attitude of completely representing the government's faction. He snorted, "Isn't there a problem with the work of the government you lead?" Our army has done a very serious job in construction, whether it is the northeast, the northwest, or North America, all of them have been built up by our army. ”

This contradiction is almost becoming a daily brush, and Levi doesn't care about Ruan Xihao. He continued: "Cities are extracting wealth, products, and labor from the countryside at an unprecedented rate. Those who have recovered from the army rarely return to the countryside. Those who have just reached the level of Chinese will enter the city as long as they have the opportunity. The management of the countryside that we had envisioned is now on the verge of failure......"

"Cut!" Ruan Xihao snorted coldly, expressing a considerable degree of mockery.

Levi didn't look like he was about to back down, he frowned, and said loudly: "Especially the rural system that was originally hoped for with retired soldiers as the core has now proved to be a great failure. ”

Seeing that Levi was fighting back, Ruan Xihao sneered: "You don't want to pull everything into the army. The military is not involved in local work, and if our army were in charge, there would certainly not be any of these problems. ”

The meeting did not end unhappily, at least it did not come to fruition. When the briefing was over, Levi called the ministers together, and he was almost furious at the meeting. "What kind of thing is the military interfering in politics? There were so many things on the army farm back then, and they barely took a step back. Looking at them like this now, picking their noses and eyes, it's as if they can do a good job after they take power! ”

Theoretically, all the ministers here are under the management of the State Council, but in practice, several major ministries and commissions, including the Ministry of Railways and the Ministry of Construction, have deep ties with the military, and they are fundamentally separated from the military. Unlike the other ministers who were staring at Levi, these ministers looked at the table and did not look at Levi, who was very unhappy.

After this outburst, Levi finally put forward his own opinion, "There are few places where the army is really in charge of affairs, but there are many places where they can speak. I now ask everyone to follow our own pace, no matter what the army says. At least so far, the comrades have done a good job. I hope that the comrades will be able to persevere and not waver in any way! ……”

Listening to Levi's arrangements for the army, Wu Shaozu, Minister of Railways, felt very uncomfortable in his heart. Like Levi, Wu Shaozu is also a veteran. He is a native of Nanjing, and his former identity was an agent sent to Wei Ze by the East King. Since the king of the East was killed in the Tianjing Rebellion, it has become a natural choice for Wu Shaozu to follow Wei Ze wholeheartedly. Later, when he became the founding major general and was appointed as the commander of the railway army, Wu Shaozu still felt a little uneasy, wondering if he had been kicked out of the inner circle of the army. He soon understood the enormous significance of the railway to China, and this unease dissipated.

Wu Shaozu felt a little uneasy at this time, and even a little sad. The army was once the most important force under the command of Governor Wezedu. Starting with the General Staff, including the military industry and civil affairs, they all revolve around the core of the army. But this era changed too quickly, first there was the Liberation Party, which led everything, then the civil administration gradually separated from the army, and then the military industry was constantly stripped, and when the army's farms were completely stripped, the army was left with only a simple army.

And now a group of old guys who used to come from the army began to sing against the army led by Levi, and if Levi thought, the army was completely excluded from the administrative system. When the fathers of the older generation retire one after another according to the retirement system, then the army will be just an army, and it will no longer be the powerful force that once could decide all the fate of China.

From the peak to the present, Wu Shaozu has a complicated mood. This great army has created great achievements, and the Republic of China has come to this day, and in less than two generations, China has been lifted out of hunger and from a precarious life. Moreover, it has established an unprecedentedly powerful industrial system. As a builder, Wu Shaozu is of course extremely proud. However, all this did not bring the prosperity of the hero group as Wu Shaozu thought. Including him Wu Shaozu, he is in an indescribable historical situation...... Knocked out?

Thinking about these things, Wu Shaozu didn't listen to Levi's words at all. It wasn't until the sound of a chair moving came to his ears that Wu Shaozu woke up from his thoughts. I saw that Levi was ordering the secretary to move the blackboard, and everyone began to move the chairs according to the situation to facilitate their own viewing of the contents of the blackboard.

"The central problem facing China now is that the social system is changing, and the self-sufficient smallholder peasant economy is being shattered at an unprecedented rate. This is something that the Governor has emphasized many times. After saying this, Levi remembered something, he put down his whip, turned to the ministers, and said, "The governor has said a lot of things, and I think they are all wise words. There's a passage that says, who I am, where I'm from, and where I'm going. These are the three problems of life. The same is true of social development, we need to know what stage we have come from, where we are now, and where we are going in the future. If we do not understand these three points, it will be easy for our work to fall into the world. Therefore, we should deeply study the program and guidance of the Governor. It is very helpful for us to solve this problem of misalignment. ”

After saying this, Levi glanced around the ministers to see that they were indeed listening attentively. Levi continued.

"The Governor said that the self-sufficient small-scale peasant economic system must be replaced by an industrial system with social transactions at its core, and it will be destroyed by the mode of capital operation. The purpose of all producers is not to use them for their own use, but to sell their products in society. The money from the sale is used to make ends meet and develop oneself. It's not about good or evil, and it's not about personal likes and dislikes. But if we want the people to live a better life, we must let the people enter the era of industrialization from a small-scale peasant economy. Just as cities are reluctant to buy food from the surrounding areas, it is not because the people in the cities have lost their conscience and do not pay attention to the surrounding areas. Rather, the city itself has so many choices, and when the grain is brought in from far away, because the quantity is large, when it is evenly distributed to every pound of grain, this cost is not necessarily more expensive than buying it around the city. Even if it is expensive, it is very limited, and the difference is completely within the acceptable range of the city......"

A large part of these words were not original to Levi, and if the military had surrendered to the founder Wei Ze a long time ago, the civil affairs department had been completely convinced in these years, especially in the last five or six years. When many things puzzled them, Wei Ze, who was considered to be the Ouchi resident, seemed to have conducted a detailed investigation to make clear the causes, processes, and results of these new movements. In particular, the prediction of the overall trend is like being able to pinch and calculate.

In the Liberation Army, there has always been a saying that everyone is afraid to say it openly, but they can't help but have to say it. Everyone doesn't believe in gods and ghosts, but they really believe that Wei Ze is some kind of god descending to earth. The degree of persistence in this kind of thing is probably the same as the degree of belief in the ancestral gods. Even the atheists in the Liberation Army did not object to this view. It's just that limited to the atheistic nature of the Minchao and the materialist stance of the Liberation Party, people can't openly claim it.

Now listening to Levi's so much use of Weeser's ideas, the ministers can only listen to this. In fact, when Weser spoke, everyone could only listen. As for Levi, it is not appropriate to say anything at a time when Levi is so loyal to Weese's position.

This is what Levi needs, and after revealing his loyalty to Weese, Levi continues: "The core of the Fourth Five-Year Plan was the strengthening of compulsory education, that is, the integration of the people into the modern industrial society. Therefore, our recent work should be centered on this. The issue of food prices is both a crisis and an opportunity. The key is to see how to fix it. I think that this time we need to solve the problem with a more flexible grain sales model. What do you think, comrades? ”

Not long after the words fell, someone outside the door spoke, "I said Lao Li, you are the governor when you open your mouth, and you are the governor when you shut up." The problem is that you haven't really learned the core of the Governor at all. There is only one way to solve the problem of grain prices, and when the yield per mu in places where it is difficult to sell grain is tripled, from nearly 300 catties to 800 catties, all the problems of grain selling are solved. Those bad people who farmed the land automatically withdrew from farming, and the rest are excellent grain growers, and this problem will definitely be solved. ”

It was loud and impactful, but the attitude towards Levi was really disrespectful. Everyone turned their heads to look at the door, only to find that it was Wei Changrong who appeared at the door.
