Chapter 591: Dealing with Contradictions (XVII)
Knowing that Ziyang invited him to meet, Shen Xin hesitated. The confrontation between www.biquge.info the two lasted for several years, and Shen Xin tried to overturn this nasty guy to the ground through means within the system, but it turned out that Ziyang was not Yao Bang,
After Yao Bang was elected president, he had an attitude of completely inheriting Wei Ze's power, and this frivolous attitude was disgusted by the whole party, and this kind of self-use of Wei Fu also made him offend the comrades of the Central Committee. In the end, Wei Ze came out and said something on behalf of the comrades, and Yao Bang fell to the ground with a bang. Ziyang had clearly absorbed Yao Bang's experience, and he was very cautious in his respect for Wei Ze, and he was vigorously courting his comrades in the Central Committee. Shen Xin has done many sand table deductions, even if he took the most tough measures, and publicly proposed to remove Yao Bang. He found himself unable to muster enough votes. This inference does not yet account for the backlash that such a drastic action would trigger.
Not fighting an unprepared battle is the maxim of the Liberation Army, and it is also one of the principles that Shen Xin adheres to, so Shen Xin finally decided to go to the banquet. The two sat down, Ziyang was not polite, he said bluntly: "Shen Xin, we have got rid of so many corrupt officials recently, do you think the economy has improved?" ”
Shen Xin was stunned by these words, and he asked puzzledly, "What do you want to say?" ”
"Don't misunderstand, I'm not pleading for corrupt officials. Ever since I became chairman, or even before I became chairman, I really wanted to do something. Ziyang smiled.
Shen Xin didn't say anything, anyone who could get mixed up with the members of the Central Committee wanted to do something. The kind of person who has no desire and no desire cannot climb to the heights of today.
Ziyang continued: "I think the contradiction between the two of us is not a personal contradiction, but a contradiction in how to do things. I have to be very clear that I am against your imperative approach. ”
"Does your set work?" Shen Xin finally couldn't help but sneer.
Ziyang said unceremoniously: "If it weren't for the fact that the Governor didn't start dismantling those very badly run enterprises immediately after the end of the North American War, you would definitely not have lasted until the end of your term." If you don't have the command of such a majestic person as the governor, relying on your means alone will inevitably cause chaos. ”
Shen Xin didn't answer immediately, Ziyang's words really touched his sore spot. When Wei Ze killed those underperforming companies, Shen Xin didn't really agree. It wasn't until he saw the investigation report against these incompetent people that Shen Xin really understood that even the president of the country didn't know a lot of things.
Ziyang didn't care about Shen Xin, he continued to talk to himself, "In the past, I thought that with the stability of the country, everything for victory was just a slogan. After becoming the chairman, I finally understood that this is not a slogan, but a national policy. Therefore, in order to pursue output, the state has made great concessions in terms of efficiency. Comrade Shen Xin, now that our national policy is peace, the issue of efficiency must come first. Only those corrupt officials can embezzle, and any large enterprise with a slightly worse efficiency is more than all corrupt officials embezzle more money in a year. I'm sure you know that. ”
"What are you going to do?" Shen Xin asked. Even if what Ziyang said was completely out of line with Shen Xin's mind, this conversation could be regarded as a stylish conversation.
Seeing Shen Xin ask, Ziyang immediately came to some spirits, "In the past, the governor would let the state-owned capital withdraw some industries every other stage. In the beginning, even the canteen was state-run. After the end of the North American War, although the country laid off a large number of companies, it did not retreat from the industry as before. I feel the need to start the process again. ”
Hearing this policy direction, Shen Xin sneered: "Hehe! Steel, electricity, tap water, chemicals, machinery, shipbuilding, which industry are you ready to let the country abandon? ”
"It's not about letting the state give up, it's about letting more businesses in. It is not to let all industries open, but to let those enterprises that can no longer bear it step by step. Comrade Shen Xin, I know that you adhere to iron discipline, and I also think that there is no problem in doing so in the army. However, it is certainly not possible to manage enterprises and develop productive forces by relying on orders. The army completes the order, to accept the test of life and death, the enterprise has never had such pressure, so many enterprises think that I complete the order, as for whether the technology is advanced, whether there is savings, whether the cost accounting is reasonable, and they have an egg relationship. Comrade Shen Xin, I hope you can think about it, the specific conditions for many things are different. ”
After Ziyang finished speaking, he took out something from his briefcase and handed it to Shen Xin, "This is the main point that I think must be reformed in my work in the past few years, please Comrade Shen Xin, take a look." If you comrades can't accept it, I probably won't be able to push it. ”
Shen Xin took the document handed over by Ziyang with some suspicion, and saw Ziyang stand up and give alms, he was very surprised in his heart, because Ziyang's words moved him to a certain extent. As for the difference between the military and the government and enterprises, Ziyang's views are indeed very convincing. Extreme conditions such as the cost of life to carry out orders on the battlefield cannot be considered universal. From this point of view, the iron-blooded era of 'all for the front, all for victory' is really over.
However, Shen Xin instinctively felt a kind of uneasiness, after fighting with Ziyang for so long, Shen Xin's evaluation of him was not low even if it was very negative. Moreover, the end of the iron-blooded era means that Shen Xin's era is completely over, and in the new era in the future, Ziyang is undoubtedly ahead. This seems to be very bad for Shen Xin.
'It would be nice if Wang Mingshan was here', Shen Xin couldn't help but think. This old brother has a very high level of understanding of the economy, and if Wang Mingshan reads this document, he will probably be able to see through some traps that Shen Xin can't see through.
Wang Mingshan met with his wife and children in Weiye at this time, and the children finished their exams and finally arrived at the most cheerful summer vacation. As soon as the children's mother, Grace, arrived in Viena, she couldn't help but comment: "It's a little cold." "It is indeed much colder than Nanjing, and it is necessary to wear short sleeves in Nanjing in July, and long sleeves are required in Wiena when the average temperature is 14-19 degrees.
Bringing four horses of the finest silk and two new pieces of velvet, the Marquis Grace led the two babies to visit her friend Empress Sissi. To welcome her friends, Her Majesty the Queen held a tea party. When the gifts were brought out at the tea party, the ladies became a little excited. In recent years, the domestic consumption of silk in the Republic of China has become more and more vigorous, and it is not very easy to see the expensive top goods of the Republic of China in Europe, and if you want to buy it, you will probably have to travel all the way to Nanjing and other places in the Republic of China. Staying on the ship for a month every year, the lady was also a little unbearable. You don't have to go far to see such a top-notch product, and soon some people began to pry over the Marquis of Grace to pour this luxury between Europe and the Republic of China.
"In a few years, the aviation of the Republic of China will probably go to Europe." Marquis Grace said in a flat tone. As a woman, she still enjoys this feeling of introducing the top life.
"Aviation?" The noblewomen of Viena were completely puzzled.
Marquis Grace gave a brief introduction to the airplane that could fly in the sky, a magical machine that flew 330 kilometers per hour, eight times the speed of today's trains at 40 kilometers per hour. Moreover, it is not affected by the ground topography, and completely adopts the mode of straight line closest between two points. This time, Grace came to Europe by plane from Nanjing to the dock near the Kra Canal to take a boat. It saves at least two days compared to the traditional way. The brave pilots of the Republic of China also opened up a route from the Kra Canal to Sinhala and from Sinhala to Madagascar. But Grace didn't have the courage to give up her life to a machine flying in the middle of the ocean. If something happens, it's the end of a hundred deaths.
The ladies who had been to Nanjing were amazed to hear that they would be able to travel back and forth between Viena and Nanjing in the next week, and the progress of modern technology had made them incomprehensible. Grace who lived in the Min Dynasty couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
Wang Mingshan was not interested in this kind of meeting of the ladies of the court at all, and he visited it on foot in Viena. If you want to get to know a city, it's a good idea to walk through its streets yourself. After getting used to the streets of the Republic of China, it is difficult to accept the streets of European cities, and Viena is a standard European city. The city is very lively, with many shops, butchers and deli shops. In terms of price, the Austrians made very efficient use of cheap meat bought from Hungary. To Wang Mingshan's great surprise, there are many shops owned by Chinese in the workers' area of Wiena. White flour steamed buns and pancakes are cheaper than European bread, and the pork head and pork offal marinated in a large pot are steaming and fragrant, and the boss will add some onions to the meat if you want to serve it or go to the water. Steamed buns or pancakes dipped in broth are cheap and delicious. Another bowl of thick soup made of corn grits is also a more serious meal.
Most of the workers-based diners will put a glass of wine in front of them, and Wang Mingshan can feel the familiar taste of African two-pot head when he smells it casually. This thing is not made of pure grain, sugarbagasse is made of puree with high alcohol content, and the cost of mixing this puree with grain fermented puree for a period of time and then distilling it is much lower. When I visited Hungary, I saw that Hungary was also using imported bagasse puree to make African Erguotou, and Europe was very strong in controlling the tax collection of liquor, so this thing was probably smuggled into Austria in addition to being cheap. Otherwise, it would be impossible for such a small Chinese restaurant to provide alcoholic beverages to mainly low- and middle-income diners at such a low price.
Wang Mingshan also saw a few young people with drawing boards around them huddled around a small table to eat, and everyone except one had wine glasses in front of them. The young man who didn't drink looked not tall, a little lower than Wang Mingshan. Wang Mingshan had to look at the young man a few more times, this young man had a feeling of rapid development from the perceptual middle two to the rational middle two, and Wang Mingshan also felt that this kind of development was not at the end, and it seemed that there was a possibility of further progress. The young man who doesn't drink alcohol is the first one who makes himself feel this way.
This feeling did not make Wang Mingshan stop, he continued to move forward, but vaguely heard the young people behind him say 'Adolf, let's go to the 20th block ......', and the others did not hear clearly because of the distance.
In the next few days, Wang Mingshan continued to visit in Viena. In the end, it was concluded that the country's industrial power and political system were simply not enough to wage war. Just before he was about to leave for Berlin, Wang Mingshan met the young painter who didn't drink near the 20th block.
"Do you want to sketch?" The young man asked Wang Mingshan, who was standing next to him, a little shyly. Without waiting for Wang Mingshan to answer, the young man continued: "I can give you half price." ”
"Why?" Wang Mingshan was a little surprised.
"A Chinese businessman offered me a free place to stay, so I'm willing to give you half the price." The young man replied, "And very few Chinese come to the city." ”
The last sentence amused Wang Mingshan, and he decided to paint one on the young man's side. However, young people are more likely to ask Wang Mingshan some questions. Because of his limited German level, Wang Mingshan could only give a simple answer. Even so, young people were surprised by the ethnic policy of the Minchao: 'Are you saying that there is no ethnic division in China, everyone speaks the same language?' Write the same text? Live the same life? ’
"Yes." Wang Mingshan replied briskly. He knew it wasn't easy.
"Are there Jews in China?" The young man asked excitedly.
"Nope. At least I've never heard of it. Wang Mingshan replied.
"Sure enough!" The young man muttered, and it was clear that he was very concerned about it.
Seeing Wang Mingshan looking at him with some surprise, the young man was a little embarrassed, and he quickly explained: "Sir, I don't think that the ancestors of the Austrians now must be Germanic or Roman. But I insist that Austrians must have Austrian consciousness, know that they are Austrians, and have the interests of the Austrian nation as their highest interests. If they admit this, they should not be denied their identity as members of the German nation. But it was so difficult, and too many people not only did not understand it, but even went against it, believing that what they had inherited was above their obligations as an Austrian nation, and that the country was meaningless. Because no one knows who they're fighting for......"
This did not surprise Wang Mingshan, what this young man said was indeed the fundamental problem of the Austrian Empire at the moment. There is no cohesion in the country anymore. Hungary officially established the success of the revolution on December 19, 1900, which was designated as the national day of the Hungarian Slovak People's Republic. A new Austro-Hungarian constitution was signed. Hungary remained within the Austro-Hungarian Empire only in name, and Austria had no influence on Hungary in practice. In the same Austro-Hungarian Empire, Hungary and Austria were not subordinate in domestic and foreign affairs. Hungary, which had gained de facto independence, had found its own core and its own methods. The Malzas, the Slavs and the Romanians, who had been cleansed of their national identity and acquired the citizenship of the modern nation-state of the Hungarians, advanced by leaps and bounds under socialism.
The people of Austria-Hungary had to be bound by their national identity and struggled to move forward. National identity is their dependence and their shackles. However, the young man who could recognize these did not seem to have such a keen painting talent, so Wang Mingshan got up from the small stool, took out a five-mark banknote and handed it to him. "I still have something to do, so I'll go first."
The young man was stunned, he was ruthless, and signed his name on the half-finished sketch. He took out two paintings from the folder and handed them to Wang Mingshan, "These two paintings are for you." ”
At a glance, the young man was indeed called Adolf. Wang Mingshan said goodbye briefly, and then took the painting and went to the direction of the hotel. A day later, Wang Mingshan arrived in Berlin with his wife and children.
