Chapter 203: Carrying on the Past and Forging Ahead (12)

There are indeed economic contradictions between provinces, but before Wei Ze wrote an article on "Economic Contradictions within the State at the Present Stage", everyone paid more attention to certain products in reality. Time is tight and the task is heavy, Wei Ze did not talk about it, and all the main points are the discussion of the uneven industrial development of the provinces at this stage. After reading this article, the representatives of the party congress, the government meeting, and the people's congress all have a feeling of enlightenment.

The core of the modern industrial state is to make all transactions as much as possible controlled by the state, and according to the latest figures, more than half of the social trade in New China is in the hands of the government, at least through the channels through which the government controls it. Large-scale industrial enterprises relied on water transport and railways to dump their products in the entire new government-controlled area. After blowing up the pile, the steamer went upriver and transported all the Cantonese goods to Chengdu.

Such a change was a drizzle in Weeser's view, but in China in 1867 it was an earth-shattering change. The smallholder economy is disintegrating at an unprecedented rate. The Ministry of Industry took advantage of its industrial superiority to suck the blood of light industrial products from other regions. The newly born industrial population was paid by the state, while the agricultural population was under heavy pressure from industrialization.

As long as there is no change in the level of production and industrial strength of the country, the economic imbalance between the industrial and agricultural provinces will continue to be maintained. It is not a question of one or a few products, but of the industrial capacity of the provinces. Of course, the representatives of the provinces had no reason to contribute willingly to other provinces, and the representatives of Hubei Province openly declared, "Guangdong cannot be allowed to suck blood from Hubei all the time." ”

Pang Congcong, the governor of Guangdong Province, immediately retorted, "You can't always talk about blood sucking, where did our contribution to the revolution in Guangdong go?" What point do we have today that Hubei Province supports? Hubei's industry is still supported by us in Guangdong! ”

"I didn't lead everyone to build in Guangdong, you have an egg in Guangdong!" The representative of Hubei Province immediately retorted unceremoniously.

Everyone is a person who came from the battlefield, death can't scare them, who is afraid of anyone in a quarrel. The dispute became more and more intense, and in the end, even Wang Mingshan, secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, who originally wanted to persuade him, could not hold back under the words of the representatives of Hubei and Hunan, and finally joined the ranks of the quarrel.

The quarrel developed from the industrial level to the concrete project, and finally to the territorial attack. "The Cantonese people only know how to do business" was released, and it triggered a counterattack of "Hubei is all nine-headed birds". Although Zheng Jiajun, the secretary of the Hubei Provincial Party Committee, is from Guangdong, and Pang Congcong, the governor of Guangdong Province, is from Hubei. But when the map cannon was fired, everyone didn't care so much.

The last one to pop up was Prime Minister Bi Qingshan. Premier Bi Qingshan's face turned a little green when he scolded both sides, and in order to suppress the sound of injustice, he talked with representatives and cadres of various provinces almost day and night. Seeing that Bi Qingshan was really angry, the two sides could be regarded as stopping. However, in the past few days, the representatives of the two provinces saw that each other's noses were facing the sky, and their resentment was not resolved at all.

When Premier Bi Qingshan and a group of comrades in charge of discipline asked Wei Ze to come out and force the pressure, Bi Qingshan complained that Wei Ze's article was adding fuel to the fire.

"We're going to tell the truth! Comrades, be sure to tell the truth! Wei Ze didn't have the slightest hint of introspection. Seeing Wei Ze like this, Bi Qingshan's heart boiled with volcanic anger. He didn't rush up to beat Wei Ze, he could only say that he really had a lot more energy.

As the initiator, Weser was reassuring of this, and he continued to talk brazenly: "The new government has lifted the lid and exposed the status quo to everyone. This situation, which should have caused intense conflict, did not exacerbate the antagonism of everyone, because under the new system, the people did not starve to death. If this situation is only temporary, everyone's overall living standards will continue to improve, and these contradictions are not a problem. If the economy comes to a standstill, the accumulated problems will set off a storm! ”

After hearing this, Bi Qingshan snorted coldly, "Your Majesty, if you don't expose this problem, as long as you don't say it clearly, I don't think everyone will be antagonistic." ”

Wei Ze waved his hand, "Talking nonsense can certainly prevent some contradictions from breaking out immediately, but nonsense is nonsense, and the contradictions have not changed." What we have to worry about now is that we can't tell the truth, just like a doctor who sees a doctor, and we are afraid that he doesn't know how he got sick. If you really know, then you can start to solve the problem. ”

Now the chief doctor of the economy is undoubtedly Wei Ze, Bi Qingshan rolled his eyes, "Then is there any good prescription for Your Majesty?" ”

Two days later, the special content discussion room was full.

"Is it cheaper to transport soap, or is it cheaper to transport palm oil? This is a problem. Weeser's tone is similar to the famous Shakespearean work Hamlet's line, "To live or to die, that's the question."

Representatives of provinces that have developed the daily chemical industry sit on the right half of the special discussion venue, and representatives of provinces that have not yet developed petrochemical products sit on the left half of the discussion venue, giving different positions and expectations.

Wei Ze looked at the people on both sides, and he said with a smile: "I want to talk to you about a problem now, palm oil production is not high, instead of talking about distribution here, it is better to organize a representative proposal to go to the palm oil producing areas to see the situation." The solution I can come up with now is very simple, and the increased palm oil production can be shipped to other regions in the future. It won't be long. On the contrary, the matter of increasing production is an issue that we need to pay attention to now. ”

Increasing production to solve the so-called contradiction basically belongs to the category of nonsense. Weeser knew the basics of economics, even if he didn't have much knowledge of economics. But Weeser is now not comfortable with the development of palm oil-producing regions, although reports from Lanfang are always "doing it, working hard". But what exactly happened over there, where the specific difficulties were, and what the long-term vision was, Weeser could only look at the report now.

If there is a group of people who are very eager to increase palm oil production, it will be closer to the truth than any other watchdog. It is a matter for officials to shield themselves from each other, but once there is a conflict of interest between officials, and it is a very opposing conflict of interest, the intensity of the struggle will increase.

No one has seen through Wei Ze's "treacherous scheme", at least at this stage, the provincial representatives who are very eager for the daily chemical industry are very supportive. "ι™›xiΓ , please do your best to arrange!"

Weeser once heard a saying, "More than 99% of all family problems are money problems." "In fact, it's a matter of interests, and no money is naturally a matter of sorrow. If you have money to use it wrongly, it can cause turmoil in the family. This kind of emotional attitude of self-esteem will lead to super antagonism.

The family is like this, and the country is actually the same. The best way to solve the problem is to make the economy bigger and stronger. China's science and technology have made great progress in the past ten years, that is, the scientific concepts of Britain and France have been reluctantly introduced into China's "scientific community", if there is really such a thing as "scientific community" now. A lot of basic practices have barely been done, and some production processes, enterprises finally have such a concept. The factory can also admit that "management" and "managing people" are two different things.

It is not realistic to expect the "black technology" to explode now, and the best way is to expand the territory and increase production. The plantations of the South China Sea are undoubtedly the best means.

"Comrades, I think everyone now knows that we are going to start the five-year plan in '69, why not this year, why not next year, but the next year. Because in the coming year we are going to do publicity. The five-year plan is not a simple matter of doing things and talking about it, but the five-year plan includes everyone's understanding of the country. The first ideological basis of the Five-Year Plan is to eliminate feudal mentality. You can't draw the ground as a prison, and you can't beggar-thy-neighbor. When you become the governor of Guangdong or Hubei, will you become the king of Guangdong and the king of Hubei? In addition to the work of this province, there is also a national problem. One of the core of the five-year plan is to play a game of chess across the country, rather than doing its own thing. Now that you know where some of the problems are, I'm sure we'll see more in the future. So what we have to do is to unite and overcome difficulties and solve problems. Unite! Only unity can win! ”

Among Wei Ze's many speeches, Cheng DΓΉ, who was not welcomed this time, can be ranked in the top ten for the time being. The representatives of the provinces have their own thoughts, and the provinces with relatively strong industries feel the determination of other provinces to catch up, and the pressure is naturally great. The industrial power is very weak, and even the provinces that have not had time to develop the industry of the province, because they know the industrial level of other provinces more clearly, and their confidence in the development of the province's industry is not so sufficient.

After the meeting, the Guangdong delegates discussed "the situation in each province is different, and if we do this completely, they will not let us live?!" ”

What the Hubei Provincial Deputies were talking about was, "If only the Governor had done this earlier, it would not have been too late for us to liberate Hubei, and if we had built some factories in Hubei earlier, wouldn't there be no trouble today!" ”

Regardless of whether the industrial strength is strong or weak, and no matter how different the content of the discussion is, the dissatisfaction with Wei Ze's certain Cheng dΓΉ is quite consistent.

When Premier Bi Qingshan returned home, he found several national representatives from Hubei Province waiting at his house, and he felt unhappy when he saw the group of people sitting on a row of stools by the wall like elementary school students. In the past few days, rumors have been rampant that "I heard that the First Five-Year Plan contains plans for industrial construction in various localities," and various provinces have been making efforts to inquire about the news. But the maker of these contents is Wei Ze, and Bi Qingshan is just an executor. I really came to him to find the wrong person.

Looking at the expressions of the Hubei Provincial Deputies, Bi Qingshan relented again. He said, "Let's go, let's go into the house." ”
