A Dream of Jinling Chapter 348 The Profit-Seeker (5)

Next chapter

"Wang Mingshan, is this going to occupy the mountain for the king?" After reading the report submitted by Wang Mingshan, most of the people in the political bureau laughed at it. The trick of dancing with the three Semitic cults is enough to be happy and troublesome, not to mention that Wang Mingshan wants to promote Taoism in Africa.

Taoism may be the only religion acceptable to the anti-religious elements in the party, led by Wei Ze. And some people, such as Uncle En, have their own views on whether the nature of Taoism is a religion or a mystical community. However, since he has been deducted the name of "Jiao", no matter how much Governor Wei Zedu did not order to be ruthless against Taoism, Taoism is already a dangerous object on the verge of being cracked down on by the "Untouchability Law". Daring to openly support such dangerous elements, many members of the political bureau believe that Wang Mingshan is really stunned by the heat in Africa.

"If Wang Mingshan can put all those who believe in the Green Religion in northern Sudan, I don't care if they are divided there. Similarly, I don't think there is much to oppose to the establishment of the African Knights of Taoism in East Africa. When Wei Ze made such a statement in the political bureau, all the members of the political bureau initially thought that Wei Ze was joking with everyone.

Seeing the comrades' grinning expressions that were amused by this question, Wei Ze smiled happily to warm up the audience, and then said: "Comrades, I know that no one regards East Africa as China. So the attitude towards East Africa is simple and crude, if East Africa can't become like China, then let East Africa maintain the status quo, maintain the status quo of a very important forage supply. I think it's human nature to think so, but Africa has to develop. It is indeed difficult to get these blacks to understand historical materialism immediately, so it is not a bad thing to send Taoist groups to expand there in the near future. At least Taoism doesn't talk about the big lie of reincarnation. ”

After listening to Wei Ze's narration later, the members of the Political Bureau understood that Wei Ze was not joking, and the governor wanted to play it for real! Just when some people were dumbfounded, and some people were anxious to speak, Wei Ze waved his hand vigorously again, so that everyone could not be impatient.

"Now we can't invest a lot in East Africa, not only can we not invest a lot of money, but we have to squeeze a lot of profits out of East Africa every year. I want you to look at this with a realistic approach, and we have recouped all of our investment from East Africa in 10 years. Since the year before, we have made a net amount of money every year. And as far as I can see it, we're going to be in the same shape as we are for the next fifteen years. So the approach to East Africa has to be in line with the status quo. ”

After listening to this evaluation, the members of the Political Bureau did not want to speak up for the time being. Rich China is desperately trying to extract profits from impoverished East Africa, and if it weren't for realistic statistics, one wouldn't even be able to imagine the intensity of this extraction. Although most of these members were opposed to the notion that "if you don't kill the poor, you won't get rich", the operation of the industrial countries does reflect the core Taoist text, the Tao Te Ching, which says, "People know that what is lacking is made up for what is lacking."

"The future of East Africa can be discussed in detail later, and now I want to talk to you about the future of China." After Wei Ze finished speaking, he gestured to the secretary, and the secretaries lifted the curtain covering the back, and a map of the future of China appeared in front of everyone.

From the Appalachian Mountains of North America in the east, to Madagascar in the west, to the Arctic in the north, to Australia and New Zealand in the south, almost the vast land that controls the entire Pacific Ocean is the future China in Weeser's mind. Such a vast land was not unimagined for these members of the political bureau, but after marking it in the mode of a large map, this shock made everyone's eyes widen.

"In the future, China will have 6 billion mu of land suitable for large-scale mechanized cultivation and small and medium-sized mechanized intensive farming. Even if one mu yields 500 catties per mu, it is 1.5 billion tons. Even if China has a population of 2 billion in the future, there will be 0.75 tons per capita, which is 1,500 catties, and I think it will be enough to eat. Accomplishing such a great goal, we can say that we have done our best in this matter. ”

Weeser's voice was not loud, and his attitude was not excited. However, the members of the political bureau knew that there were still many areas on the map that were not on Chinese soil, especially the large area of the United States that was marked as being in a state of intense war. Although the Guangfu Army had a huge advantage at this time, and it was invincible, it was still a long way from the final victory.

"I demand that the whole party, the whole army, and government departments at all levels begin to tell the people of the whole country about such a future. And I would like to inform you that we will distribute the cultivation rights of these lands on the basis of state ownership. Now it is about the standard that a household can get 200 acres of land. Weeser was still talking about his strategic considerations.

With a rustling of pen calculations, the Minister of Agriculture asked to speak, and after receiving permission, the Minister of Agriculture immediately said with an excited expression: "Governor, 6 billion acres of land, 200 acres of plasters and 30 million households." Even if there are five people in a household, there are only 150 million people. Now that the rural population is at least 500 million, and only 150 million people are given land, what will the remaining 350 million do? ”

"Huh!" The Minister of Civil Affairs next to him listened to the words of the Minister of Agriculture and was amused.

"What do you mean by that? Even if I don't think it through, you don't have to, right? The Minister of Agriculture said angrily to the Minister of Civil Affairs.

The Minister of Civil Affairs stood up and confronted the Minister of Agriculture without fear, "As a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, I would like to speak from the perspective of our Ministry of Civil Affairs. First, it is very clear that the distribution of these 6 billion mu of land is on several large plains. Second, most of these lands are in North America. There is no question of zài dividing the nearest land. It is necessary to pass through guò immigrants in order to complete the work of dividing the land. Third, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has encouraged people in mountainous areas to leave mountainous areas every year for more than 10 years. The land in many impoverished areas is not included in the 6 billion acres, and for the people in those areas, as long as some of the locals leave, they can live a very satisfying life, so these people have no desire to emigrate. Fourthly, the emergence of these new cultivated areas has itself led to the emergence of many new cities and towns, which in themselves can accommodate a large number of people......"

When the Minister of Agriculture stood up to speak, many members of the Committee shared the same views as the Minister of Agriculture. After a simple arithmetic calculation, it seems that the distribution model of 6 billion mu of land by Wei Zedu not only does not solve the contradictions, but has the intention of intensifying the contradictions. However, the Minister of Civil Affairs' speech changed the minds of a large part of the population. The Minister of Agriculture responded to Governor Wei Zedu's blunt advice in a blunt manner, while the Minister of Civil Affairs filled in more details. According to the explanation of the Minister of Civil Affairs, it was found that this new type of agriculture did not create employment for 150 million people, but at least 200 million jobs. If you add to this the population who refused to leave their hometowns, the countryside did not experience the huge shock that was originally imagined.

Just when everyone thought that the problem was close to being explained, the Minister of Agriculture continued to speak after the Minister of Civil Affairs spoke: "But the grain is cheap and hurts the peasants, and those who have not left the countryside will choose to leave because there is no profit in farming. Wouldn't this disorderly action have an impact? What's more, how long will this land division last? ”

"You don't trust the Governor?" The Minister of Civil Affairs seems to have lost some patience.

The Minister of Agriculture had an unhappy expression on his face, and he said-for-tat: "I just hope that a policy can be formulated that is as perfect as possible, and we have time now, so we don't need to be in such a hurry." It is precisely because I believe in the Governor that I will find fault and raise objections. I think you're the kind of person who doesn't believe in the Governor! ”

"Your opinion is not the right way, where is it that you want to deny the overall direction of what you say first?"

"I am a party member, of course, I will absolutely obey the organization's resolutions, but I always have the right to put forward opinions in the resolutions!"

……

The argument was in order, but Weser also felt a little upset. He slapped the table to silence everyone first, and then said, "Since someone has proposed to talk about principles." There are three principles in this plan. First, state ownership of land. Does anyone have an issue with this principle? ”

Everyone looked at each other, and the state ownership of land has been openly regarded as the traditional concept of the Liberation Party for nearly 40 years.

However, Wei Ze did not mean to let these people be sloppy, he changed his words, "I am now asking for a vote, who thinks that in the new land planning policy, it is necessary to adhere to the state ownership of land, please raise your hand." ”

Huhula, a group of people began to raise their hands one after another, and those who had already raised their hands found that there were so many members of the political bureau who were procrastinating when they raised their hands. And the Minister of Agriculture wanted not to raise his hand, but he did not dare not to do so. But when I wanted to raise my hand, I was reluctant.

The Minister of Civil Affairs raised his hand high, and when he saw the appearance of the Minister of Agriculture, he shouted to the secretary: "How is it, it's time to count the votes?" ”

The secretary looked at Wei Ze, but saw that Wei Ze looked like an old god. All he could say was: "29 votes for yes, 1 vote for no." ”

The Minister of Civil Affairs just snorted at the Minister of Agriculture, but did not continue to say anything. Now that the Minister of Agriculture has made his attitude clear, many words do not need to be expressed by the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

"Second, in this division of agriculture, we must persist in promoting the concept of anti-feudalism. The new rural construction of Tongguò raised the people's awareness, further eliminated the feudal concept, and solved the problems caused by the feudal traditional thought. Weeser continued to state his basic position. Those who adhere to the anti-feudal concept, please raise your hand. ”

This time, everyone, including the Minister of Agriculture, raised their hands. Although he had his own views on the idea of state ownership of land, the Minister of Agriculture was very supportive of the anti-feudalism. It can be seen that the reason why he raised his hand was not simply fear, but really supported the anti-feudal matter.

"Third, since it is an area suitable for mechanized farming, we must consider the industrialization of agriculture in the future development process, that is, the trend of agricultural workers replacing farmers in the future. Since we claim to be the vanguard of the working class, we must have a clear understanding of ourselves at this time. Raise your hand in support of the basic theory of the Liberation Party! Weeser came up with a third idea.

This time, the Minister of Agriculture hesitated for a moment and raised his hand.

After the three basic views were determined, Wei Ze asked the Minister of Agriculture, "I don't know where your different views are on the concept of land nationalization?" ”

"Whether it is nationalization of land or public ownership of land, I have an opinion on this. If all land is state-owned, then the provinces themselves do not have the right to control the land, and the grassroots units do not have their own decision-making power over the land. Is it appropriate that the land departments at all levels are the expatriate departments of the State Land Administration? I don't think this is in line with the principle of the worker being the master of the house. We have directly disenfranchised too many workers. "The Minister of Agriculture spoke eloquently, without the slightest fear. Of course, it could also be that he was well aware that his opposition had caused a lot of pressure, and that he had to make his views clear before that pressure turned into substantial resistance.

This time, the Minister of Civil Affairs did not show an expression of agreement or denial, and the matter had nothing to do with him. However, the face of the director of the Land Bureau became ugly. The Minister of Agriculture's view has intervened in the Land Department's authority over land security, which is a matter of vital authority.
