The fact that a group of high-ranking officers headed by Wu Liao were sent to military academies was a beginning, and a standard for rectification was found within the army. More than four months had passed since the start of the campaign, and by November 1883 a considerable number of officers had been investigated, and personnel transfers on army farms had been frozen, and disarmament had officially begun.

The army is a fighting organization, not a capital group. Therefore, the problems that arise in the army farm are basically the same, the best technology, good organization, these advantages make the army farm profitable. Similarly, the large amount of output, the mode of supplying the troops free of charge, and the relatively low wages all exposed the unclear nature of the farm's property rights and responsibilities. It's inevitable that everyone will have to take a bite out of the middle.

The frontier can also use the model of the construction corps to solve the problem, the construction corps belongs to an operational organization, everyone works and gets wages, and finally has a concept of capital. It is not the same as before, the above sentence can determine the distribution of the products produced after the operation of these capitals.

Weeser spoke completely openly about this, so most of the central government was not too afraid that they would be overly implicated. When the Third Session was held, the leaders of the administrative departments only said that they "supported the governor's opinion", but in fact, they were all happy in their hearts. The local administration does not like to be forcibly interfered by others, and especially hates the fact that the army directly extends its hand to the localities.

The army is not easy to mess with, everyone knows it very well. Not only are most of the founding generals alive, but the army is strong enough. What's more, the army has the concept of a military restricted area, and they enclose a piece of land, and no one can really break into it. On more than one occasion, local party and government leaders have received complaints from the public security department, saying that some soldiers had clashes with people in urban areas, and they ran to the barracks after beating them. It is very difficult for local comrades to do this.

If it is a field army, it is fine, after all, the field army has strict military discipline. If there are traitors and criminals, the field army itself must resolutely deal with them. What field corps could be in the city? These are those people from military districts, military divisions. The main leaders of the government have also served as soldiers, and even if they can't really overwhelm the troops, they know very well that the people who cause trouble are all guys who have nothing to do and just mess around in the army. Now that Governor Wei Zedu wants to put the army in order, the comrades in the government naturally raise their hands in approval.

It is impossible to complete the reorganization of the armed forces in a few months, and this is a relatively long-term task. Administrative work, on the other hand, is a long-term and unremitting work. In addition to strengthening education, the Fourth Five-Year Plan has also increased the number of people with public health. Of course, Weeser finally raised the issue of industrial construction on a national scale.

At the government meeting, Wei Ze put forward his own plan, "If the provinces want to establish their own enterprises, they should use the establishment of joint-stock limited companies." ”

With the development of China's industrialization and more and more training, joint-stock companies are not a stranger to the government. The joint-stock system naturally has many sources of investors. Limited, it means limited liability. When the company loses money to the point of bankruptcy, this responsibility comes to an end. The agricultural society is the repayment of the debts of the father and the son, and the development of Chinese culture is relatively advanced. As for the joint-stock limited company, it is even different, people don't have to die, this account can be cancelled.

Joint-stock companies are no strangers to the government, and they are not uncommon in the people, and there was a very similar production model in Jiangnan in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Jiangnan has a large demand for cattle, and often adopts a "both parties are voluntary, both parties are beneficial, and the risk is shared", that is, the investor buys the cow back and "contracts" to feed others, and the farmer obtains the cow power and cow dung, and the main household gets the calf, and then sells the calf or sells it after feeding it when it grows up, and makes a profit.

In some provinces, the governors and secretaries of the provincial party committees are ecstatic about this, while the leading cadres of some provinces are not so unconditionally optimistic, hoping that the state will invest in the establishment of state-owned enterprises, and that the provinces will be responsible for the management of these enterprises. If something happens, the state bears the burden, and they only rely on state-owned enterprises to make political achievements.

Wei Ze said clearly, "Whoever sets up the project is responsible." Even if you leave the local area, the responsibility will not be written off. Industries related to the national economy and people's livelihood are still monopolized by the state. Water, electricity, gas, transportation, education, medical care, tobacco, salt and other industries will not be operated under the shareholding system. ”

Water, electricity, gas, transportation, education, medical care, tobacco, salt and other industries are closely related to clothing, food, housing and transportation, and they are also industries that are sure to make profits without losing money. If the state does not let go of these industries, it will be very risky for other industries to operate.

In addition to this explosive new policy, one of the more sensational personnel changes in the Fourth Five-Year Plan was that Shen Xin was no longer the director of the Political Department of the Central Military Commission, but became a vice premier. Li Yuchang officially retired after stepping down as premier, and was succeeded by Levi's, former minister of finance, former secretary of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee, and current vice premier.

In the warm applause, Li Yuchang officially bowed and stepped down. Some of the older personnel in the government army also retired, and the retirement system that Weeser had been preparing for a long time finally began to officially operate. The impact of this incident on the central government was no less than that of allowing the provinces to set up joint-stock enterprises.

Wang Mingshan, secretary of the central bank, and Pang Congcong, secretary of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, discussed with Wei Ze the issue of establishing a joint-stock enterprise, and they were not particularly optimistic when they saw that the matter was approved by the central government.

During the break of the meeting, Wang Mingshan, Shen Xin, and Pang Congcong discussed the matter together. For now, the qualifications for government promotions have gradually become clearer. He has worked at all levels of local work, has experience in ministry-level work, and has work experience in large national enterprises. All three of them basically meet the hard conditions, and they are also considered to be comrades whom Weeser recognizes very much, and it is not unlikely that they will become prime ministers one after another. At such times, it is better to cooperate well than to have a big infighting with each other. Not to mention that as comrades-in-arms between them, their personal friendship is also incomparable to others.

"Shen Xin, the governor is determined to implement the competition mechanism." Wang Mingshan sighed.

"Is competition ......" Shen Xin is actually not opposed to competition, and the army has eliminated those old comrades, middle-aged comrades, and young comrades who are not capable of army building, but they do not have the feeling of being sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox. On the contrary, everyone felt that their opportunity had finally come. Competition with each other can be very effective in enhancing internal vitality, and there is no reason why those comrades who are discouraged or even give up on themselves after one or two defeats in competition must be able to obtain a higher status and have more opportunities.

Shen Xin didn't say much, he had been the person in charge of the four northern provinces, and he knew the hardships of local work. But now it seems that Wei Ze's arrangement of Shen Xin in that position was a premeditated act.

Wang Mingshan misunderstood Shen Xin's attitude a little, he explained: "It is not possible to introduce competition now, just like the army farm, some models that were good in the past are no longer suitable in the new situation." Let me give you an example, in the past, our needle-making enterprises used to contribute a lot to the country. Up to now, many companies are completely rotten, and they are also dead. A product remains the same for many years. Not to mention improving efficiency, there is also a relationship that wants to desperately stuff people into the factory. What kind of technology can a needle-making factory have, and what future can it have. Who can you squeeze your head to get in? Factories with high technology content are better, after all, the state-owned investment, they also undertake the corresponding scientific research projects. For those factories where technological development has come to an end for the time being, the only way to solve the problem is to reverse the management system. If there is no competition, it is even harder for them to move on their own than if the sun comes out of the west. ”

"Is that an exaggeration?" Shen Xin didn't agree too much with what Wang Mingshan said.

Wang Mingshan sighed: "It's much more exaggerated than you think." I used to think that everyone always has to pursue progress, even if they don't pursue progress, they still pursue some money. But now that I see it, it's not necessarily true. If you go to the Northeast to farm and work hard, you can earn a lot in a few years. But even if many people know this, they would rather mix that dead wage in the city. I think the governor is right, we have to make the whole society active under the current situation of industrialization! ”

Shen Xin had no intention of arguing with Wang Mingshan, but Pang Congcong said: "If you are active, someone will have an accident, and on the whole, we can learn from those tragedies." But the protagonists of those tragedies don't think so. With the implementation of the joint-stock system this time, some people will definitely be unlucky. ”

"Oh? How bad can it be? Shen Xin became a little interested in this.

Pang Congcong said with a hint of mockery: "The black gauze hat is definitely gone." Of course, if they really just do things, it probably won't be so miserable. But I think that many people are trying to get political achievements, and if you think about it, it's over. What's worse is that some people not only want to make a political achievement, but also take the opportunity to loosen their restrictions to make a ...... for themselves, hehe, the governor is not unprepared for this. ”

This is a very understandable thing, Shen Xingang participated in dealing with the affairs of the army farm, and many people just wanted to make themselves look at the eight mirrors, so that everyone could recognize his goodness. If it's a desperate effort to pay everyone's salary, that's fine. But everyone who does this, without exception, is stuffed into their pockets. The military commissar cracked down very such people.

Wang Mingshan felt that Pang Congcong's words were a bit emotional, and he hurriedly explained to Shen Xin, "It is written in the book that capital operation depends on capital and credit. At present, the local funds are not sufficient, and some of them are the credit accumulated by the state, no matter what the governor says, there will definitely be people who will abuse the national credit. I was against it at first. But what the Governor said is also right, there is always a limit to the protection period, and if we protect everything, we can only protect a group of waste. If you want to grow, you have to encounter beatings. ”

Seeing that Wang Mingshan and Pang Congcong had spoken to this point, Shen Xin could only express his position, "I can only wait and see what will happen in the future." But since the Governor has made such a decision, I will definitely follow the Governor. ”

Although this is not what Wang Mingshan and Pang Congcong really want to hear, it can be regarded as a passing grade. The two didn't say anything more, and after chatting for a while, the two got up and took their leave.
