Sima Ping finished scolding his son, let out a sigh, and then sat down at his desk and began to think about how to deal with Wei Xiushan's offensive tomorrow. In any case, Sima Ping still felt that Wei Ze did not fully accept Wei Xiushan's attack on the black coal kiln.

Shanxi is rich in coal mines, and one of the driving forces for Shanxi's development in recent years is coal mines. Under the general trend, the sediment was rolled up, the investment in state-owned coal mines was large, and the sales were also good, so the small coal loans that were hot in the eyes also developed. These small-scale coal mines themselves have a variety of backers, with investment from all levels of government, both public and private. However, these small coal mines have touched some of the energy agency's mold. The Department of Energy is more similar to the Land Bureau, and a large part of it represents the state's ownership of resources on state-owned land. The system of nationalization of land includes land ownership as well as ownership of underground resources.

Uncle Ma made it clear in the "Communist Manifesto", "...... The transformation of capital into public property belonging to all members of society is not the transformation of individual property into social property. What changes here is only the social nature of property. It will lose its class nature......"

The Liberation Party has also repeatedly emphasized that "our revolution is not a revolution in which heroes rob the rich and help the poor, and the personal property earned by individuals through legitimate labor should belong to individuals." The public ownership of the means of production in the Republic of China was the public ownership of the means of production, and at this stage, it would not even eliminate private capital except for the nationalization of land. ”

So the issue of "black coal kilns" becomes very interesting, if coal is regarded as the category of land nationalization, then the existence of black coal kilns is the embezzlement of state-owned assets. However, the sources of this part of the investment are complex, and Sima Ping is relieved that these investments are at least hung with the signboards of governments at all levels. Even if it's tracking, it's not a big deal. Governor Wei Zedu probably won't stay in Shanxi for too long, and even if he is in Shanxi, he will take care of those big things. It is impossible for the Governor to really figure out what is going on inside this multitude of local enterprises.

With such seriousness, Sima calmed down. Nominally it is the same thing, but in fact some money goes to local governments, and some money goes to people close to local governments, and it is not uncommon for officials at all levels to get a piece of the pie. That's what makes him feel uneasy. Wei Xiushan attacked such a point.

Wei Xiushan had never said anything about this before, because he smashed so many people's pots by himself, and he obviously didn't know what to do. But the governor came, once the governor spoke, the pot in Shanxi was a hair. Even in Shanxi, there are a considerable number of people in the system who have no interests in the black coal kiln.

After analyzing the problem again in his heart, Sima Ping's fist couldn't help but clench and loosen, loosen and clench. In his opinion, Wei Xiushan is a political snake, which is well hidden on weekdays, and jumps out to bite people at critical moments. It also bites hard at the key point.

To be able to sit firmly as the secretary of the provincial party committee in Shanxi, there must naturally be four beams and eight pillars below. Wei Xiushan relied on a group of officials led by the Land Bureau, while Sima Ping relied on a group of local cadres with close ties to coal. If the governor finally agrees with Wei Xiushan's view, these coal officials and Sima Ping, the coal boss, will have to face a terrible future.

What to do? Sima Ping was very uneasy in his heart.

The next day, Sima Ping got up early in the morning, and when he arrived at the provincial party committee early, he found that Wei Xiushan had also arrived at the provincial party committee. The two are now in a state of public confrontation, so they don't talk to each other, just look at each other and go to their respective offices.

It seems that the governor got up very early, and at 7:50, the Shanxi officials went to the door. Despite not informing each other, the two factions found that no one was left behind at this point in time. At 7:55, the governor arrived at the gate of the provincial party committee. A group of Shanxi officials lined up to greet and invited Wei Ze into the provincial government conference room, but Wei Ze did not ask these people to report their work. He said: "When I go to Shanxi, I walk around Shanxi, agriculture is fundamental, and I don't know how Shanxi's agricultural situation is developing." Can you please give me a route? ”

Wei Xiushan was stunned, he had already prepared quite enough content, and he wanted to put a shot on the work report. Unexpectedly, Governor Wei Zedu actually proposed to inspect agricultural work, and Wei Xiushan's plan was disrupted.

"Governor, let's report to you first." Wei Xiushan suggested.

"At the end of each year, you have to go to Nanjing to report on your work, and you can listen to it at that time. But I may not be able to come to Shanxi in a few years, and the comparison between the two sides must be a rare opportunity to see in person. Besides, wherever you take me, I can probably only go. It's no more powerful than a debriefing. Are you going to take me wherever you're bad? Wei Ze said heartily.

The Shanxi officials all frowned, trying to hear some clues from Wei Ze's words. Then I heard Wei Ze laugh, "Haha, you are not afraid to take me to a difficult place to see me, aren't you just crying and crying poor, and you want the central government to allocate more money." Then come up with a plan, it's useless to just cry to me. ”

Now the officials couldn't figure out Wei Ze's thoughts, and from any point of view, the governor had no intention of blaming the Shanxi government. At least not in the words of the governor. But now that there is serious antagonism and tension in the Shanxi government, many people, especially Sima Ping's gang, actually hope that the governor can leave now. As long as the governor remained in Shanxi, the contradictions would only become more intense. If someone says something unpleasant, or simply tears his face and sues the emperor in front of the governor, it will be difficult to clean up.

But Sima Ping is also a person who has seen wind and waves, and he took the lead in saying to the director of the Department of Agriculture: "Since the governor said so, let's also ask the governor to take a look at the rich places in our Shanxi, and also ask the governor to take a look at the relatively poor places in our Shanxi." ”

The director of the Department of Agriculture was embarrassed by these words, and Sima Ping waved his hand, "Don't be embarrassed." Let the governor see our achievements in Shanxi, and let the governor see the difficulties of our Shanxi. If you should show your merits, you should cry poor and ask for money, and you should cry poor for money. Don't delay! ”

This is also interesting, and it has finally temporarily relieved the psychological pressure of many cadres in Shanxi. Seeing that Governor Wei Zedu was still smiling after hearing this, some officials also laughed a few times to make fun.

"Why don't we go out and talk about it?" The director of the Department of Agriculture asked.

Wei Ze waved his hand, "Our Guangfu Army has a saying, come when called, come and fight, and win when you fight." Isn't your Department of Agriculture familiar with Shanxi? Are you not familiar with Shanxi agriculture? Planning a route or using a special discussion? You want to draw a line, and I know that, you want to show the point. Don't bother so much, find a route to wear Shanxi up, and take a walk to see the life of the people in Shanxi. No need to go out, you can be sure here. ”

The director of the Department of Agriculture hurriedly looked at Sima Ping, and when he saw Sima Ping nodding, he got together with several personnel from the Department of Agriculture to discuss a few words. The route of the inspection was quickly determined. Seeing that his subordinates did not hesitate, Sima Ping felt a lot more relaxed in his heart. It's not easy to fool Governor Wei Zedu, and since Governor Wei Zedu is talking about it, he won't be angry when he sees something bad. So whether Shanxi officials are capable or not is the key to everything. The agricultural situation can be said to be a natural condition, and if the officials in Shanxi are a group of incompetent people, it is Sima Ping's responsibility.

"When can I leave on this route?" Weeser asked.

"In the afternoon, I will accompany the governor to inspect." Sima Ping said immediately.

"I'm the governor, or I'll accompany the governor." Wei Xiushan did not back down.

"You both go." Wei Ze did not let the two argue, and directly made a decision.

The work of the secretary of the provincial party committee and the governor will not be easy, and since both of them are going, they have to arrange their work. Wei Ze went to Taiyuan for a stroll accompanied by comrades from the provincial party committee office, while the two provincial leaders made their own preparations.

"Keep an eye on Wei Xiushan, don't let him have the opportunity to report to the governor alone." Sima Ping said. But after finishing speaking, he felt that this request was too outrageous, if Wei Xiushan was shameless and forced to sue, what could Sima Ping do in front of the governor? Beat Wei Xiushan in public? Zhou Zhengxiong's experience has not been a few months in the past, but he just beat up a factory director who was actually responsible, and Zhou Zhengxiong was punished with a demerit in the party and an administrative demerit. The secretary of the provincial party committee beat the governor in front of the governor, and in addition to the resignation of the secretary of the provincial party committee, the secretary of the provincial party committee is probably basically finished. So Sima Ping hurriedly changed his words, "Keep an eye on it, tell me what the situation is." ”

After making preparations, Sima Ping was still uneasy in his heart. After thinking about it, probably the best way was to find the Governor to find out the bottom first. So Sima Ping ordered the car to be prepared, and he was ready to go to Governor Wei Zedu to speak first.

Shanxi is also a major cultural province with many historic sites. There are temples of the Tang Dynasty in Taiyuan, and Governor Wei Zedu led him to see the monuments in the provincial party committee office. Sima Ping soon met Wei Ze and his party at the gate of the small temple. Time is limited, and Wei Ze just took a brief look, and he didn't have to play a lot, let alone take a souvenir.

Sima Ping and Wei Ze got into the same car, and after closing the door, Sima Ping said: "Governor, I still remember that when I came to be the secretary of the Shanxi Provincial Party Committee, you said that Shanxi Lao can gather wealth. After I arrived in Shanxi, I really think you are really knowledgeable. ”

"Shanxi Jin merchants colluded with the Manchu Qing Dynasty and took Beijing, Ruan Xihao also copied out a lot of documents, all of which were IOUs from various Manchu princes." After Wei Ze finished speaking, he snorted coldly.

was stunned by Wei Ze's words, Sima Ping was stunned. Some of Wei Ze's words look casual, but really thinking about the connotation can often make people break out in a cold sweat. But Sima Ping was not frightened, he knew very well that the more scared he was, the more he had to move forward. The fighter plane is fleeting, and there are some things that he says and let others say it, and the result is completely different. Just like when fighting with a bayonet, the enemy will definitely stab himself, whether he strikes first or someone else strikes first, the result is completely different.

"Dudu, I borrowed a lot of money from Jin Shang." Sima Ping directly told Wei Ze the core words.

"Humph!" Weeser just smiled, but didn't say anything. Yesterday, I heard Wei Xiushan accuse Sima Ping of engaging in a black coal kiln, and Wei Ze had some judgments in his heart. The chain of interests in Shanxi is clear, and it will be the same in the 21st century, and it will be so at the end of the 19th century. Industries with comparative advantages are naturally able to receive a lot of support, and this is true for any era. It's not uncommon for a coal gang to appear, but it's a rare thing that there is no coal gang.

As for borrowing money from Shanxi Jin merchants, it is not an unimaginable thing. Although the Jin merchants are conservative, they are not stupid. If the government could come up with a coal mining production plan to borrow money, the Jin merchants, who had lost a lot of money due to the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, would naturally jump ship in a hurry.

In fact, the life of coal in Shanxi is not easy, and there is no shortage of coal in the land owned by the Republic of China. The South China Sea is rich in coal, the Far East is rich in coal, and North America is rich in coal. The Yangtze River basin has the Yangtze River coal and iron belt, the northeast has coal mines, and Hebei has Beijing, a coal-rich region. Shanxi's coal is no longer there, and at the beginning of the 21st century, the coal supply was interrupted as a threat to Guangdong to recover the coal money owed over the years, and finally the central government had to come out to calm the contradictions.

Then it is not unusual for Sima Ping to borrow some money from the Jin merchants, and Wei Ze does not hate this practice. If there is really something that Wei Ze annoys, it is probably that Sima Ping's borrowing plan is either unplanned, resulting in too high interest. Or Sima Ping, who relied on the power of the government to engage in means, could not really fulfill the agreement. Wei Ze thinks that it is best to do anything above board, and to clean up the Jin Merchants directly and openly by reasonable means, what are the tricks that are not in the stream?

"Don't worry, Governor. The interest is not high, and we do not owe the slightest amount of interest that should be paid. Moreover, the silver of the Jin merchants was also included in the state's management of precious metals in accordance with the policy. Sima Ping knew Wei Ze's hobby, and he immediately clarified his actions.

"And then?" Wei Ze didn't think Sima Ping was here to show merit. Last night he also considered the issue of Shanxi. The best way to get coal in Shanxi is to change Shanxi's coal industry to a pithead power generation that can be directly transmitted to other regions through ultra-high voltage technology. The problem is that today's technology doesn't support this vision. China's ultra-high voltage transmission is leading the world in the 21st century, and it is undoubtedly impossible to engage in this at the end of the 19th century.

Power stations in various cities are supported by large amounts of coal hoarded by power plants on the edge of cities, and large-scale power grids are only theories that have been proposed and studied. If you want to control the power grid, you must first get a relatively primitive transistor control device to control the power grid......

Thinking of this, Wei Ze felt that he was thinking too far ahead, and even a little unrealistic. But there is no way, Uncle Ma pointed out that productivity is the fundamental driving force of social development, and after truly understanding this theory, not all problems have been solved, but all problems have been clearly laid out on the table, which makes Wei Ze feel inescapable.

In the end, Weeser decided to see what the Coal Gang was up to. Such small groups with economic interests as the core generally do a lot of reasonable and unreasonable things. Once they are moved, the intertwined chain of interests is too involved, and it is often a big move. Even if he wanted to do it, Wei Ze couldn't do it when he was inspecting Shanxi. It's a very simple political trick. No one is a fool, and if the comrades in the provinces feel that Wei Ze's inspection is not to help solve problems in various localities, but to stab the local governments, then the subsequent inspections will become meaningless. How could the provinces, where everyone was in danger, tell the truth to Weese? With this in mind, Wei Ze's next job became to inspect Shanxi's agriculture.

"Governor, there is nothing good to invest in Shanxi. There is a plan for urban construction, and you can apply for funds from the central government. With so many industrial products, bank outlets have also been built. Ordinary people get money and spend it on these things. Therefore, many local governments have also used some financing methods to build a lot of coal mines. That's why Wei Xiushan said that we are engaged in black coal kilns. Sima Ping saw that Wei Ze was not excited, let alone had a tendency to listen and believe, so he hurriedly put the words in his head.

"I don't want to comment on that now. But I don't think you should tell me that it's not boring at all. If you had to say that, I would have to listen to it. But Comrade Sima Ping, do you think I will believe it? Weser said with a hint of sarcasm.

Sima Ping was overjoyed, and what he was most worried about was that Wei Zedu was completely unacceptable to this model. Since the governor did not put on an attitude as clear as water and a mirror, it was equivalent to Sima Ping passing the test for the time being. Of course, this kind of thing is not so easy to pass. If wishful thinking thinks that Governor Wei Zedu just doesn't care about this at all, Sima Ping himself thinks it's too ridiculous.

"Governor, we will definitely rectify this. We will definitely investigate the problems in it. Sima Ping immediately said nervously.

"If you want to look up, you might as well turn this kind of borrowing into a model of issuing shares or bonds to the public. If there is no system to come out, this kind of thing will definitely happen. What are you going to do if you have the system in place? Weeser asked.

"I'll do it right away?" Sima Ping asked.

Wei Ze sneered, "Cut! You should first find the person you borrowed money from and explain to others what to do! Look at the attitudes of these stakeholders and discuss them with others. Otherwise, you're going to fail at both ends. ”

"Why?" Sima Ping was curious.

"I'm not going to say if you're doing this in accordance with the central government's regulations. If you don't even have a basic business attitude, I don't agree with it. Even if you have a business attitude, I still can't guarantee whether your plan will be approved by the central government. If you want to cater to the center, I can tell you right now that it's very difficult. Therefore, you might as well come up with a reasonable plan first, so that you will not fall through the cracks. Wei Ze said to Sima Ping slowly.

There are some things that Wei Ze doesn't want to say too clearly, and he is actually not opposed to private purchases of bonds with a clear purpose. Social development depends on investment, and the state cannot rely on inflation as a long-term means. Therefore, the most compromised way to reduce private consumption is probably bonds. But anyone can talk about the issue of bonds, but Wei Ze can't take the initiative to talk about it. Once he did, things were bound to go bad. What is good at the top will be very bad at the bottom. This is also the law of history.
