Spring went to autumn, and before I knew it, three years had passed, and Wushan felt that the preparations were almost over.

All along, Wushan has used the views formed by later generations to subtly change his father's beliefs, which have gradually become less solid.

What really worked was that together with my father, I made private visits to microservices all over the county. Seeing the actual situation in Wu County, and then comparing what his son said, Wu Lixing has a spectrum in his heart.

The county imprisons a large number of black and five-category personnel in the province, except for those who wore pointed papier-mâché hats and so-and-so on their chests when they first arrived, held meetings and criticized in the largest square in the county, and then paraded through the streets. Later, he was locked up and asked no more.

Today, the county revolutionary committee held a meeting on the topic of how to educate these capitalist roaders in accordance with the spirit of the party Central Committee.

Director Wu reversed his previous silence and spoke generously at the meeting: "These people have committed extremely heinous crimes, and we must not be soft on the class enemy. After the meeting, I will personally hold a meeting with them to make a deep review, and in the future, they will be sent down to the grassroots level to accept the transformation of the proletariat. ”

Coming out of the venue, Wu Lixing unbuttoned the top button of the tunic suit, and the driver Wang Jianguo came up: "Director Wu, go home?" ”

"No, go to Wuzhong and give those people a political lesson." Wu Lixing said to the correspondent next to him (there was no secretary at the county level before the special period, only this title): "Go immediately to contact the armed police and take care of the venue." ”

When they arrived at the Wuzhong conference room, more than a hundred Black Five people who were imprisoned here had already sat in their seats.

Wu Lixing instructed Wang Jianguo and Zhang Jiefang: "You and the armed police are 100 meters away from the venue, and no one is allowed to approach. ”

Wang Jianguo, who was born as a soldier in the countryside, was a little embarrassed: "Director Wu, in case of them"

Wu Lixing waved his hand: "They are all old people and cultural people, evil does not prevail over good, go." ”

Wang Jianguo opened his mouth, although he didn't understand the meaning of evil not suppressing good, he still went out with Zhang Jiefang, and closed the door casually.

Wu Lixing walked over slowly, opened the door again, and watched the driver and secretary negotiating with the squadron leader, the squadron leader looked at Wu Lixing suspiciously, Director Wu just nodded lightly and watched them walk away. It was estimated that it had spread to a hundred meters away, Director Wu was not at ease, so he waved his hand outward, and the encirclement was expanded another twenty or thirty meters before he closed the door and walked to the podium with heavy steps.

First of all, Director Wu bowed: "Comrades, you have suffered. The general trend is the same, Xiao Wu is not taking care of it, and I am here to apologize to you. ”

These people have been criticized everywhere since the special period. Until here, after only being paraded through the streets once, he has been detained in the witch that has been suspended, crowded into the narrow dormitory of the students. The expression on his face was numb at all times, without any expression. Director Wu's words and deeds surprised everyone.

Wu Lixing ignored them and said to himself: "Poverty is not socialism. I was born on the eve of liberation, and my childhood memories are relatively vague, but I understand that the days after liberation are getting better day by day. Later, our country made three anti-five anti-iron and steel smelting, followed by three years of natural disasters, followed by an unprecedented special period of the proletariat. ”

"However, we are all members of the Communist Party, and we must always believe in our Party, and we will always constantly correct the mistakes in the process of development. Thinking of me, Wu Lixing, has always been muddy, even if he is pushed to the position of director of the Revolutionary Committee, he is living a day as a monk and hitting the clock for a day. Here, I have to thank my son, who is only a teenager this year. In the past few years, the two of us have been discussing. Finally, we came to a conclusion: such days will not last long, and the clouds will eventually open and see the sunrise. "Comrades, sooner or later, you will return to work. Today, we are here to discuss how to govern Wu County next. Please go to various posts in Wuxian County in a few days to succumb to and wait for the party's call. ”

The people below were already stunned, it turned out that Wu Lixing was also an understanding person.

Several of you were crying with joy.

Wu Lixing looked out the window cautiously, and pressed down with both hands: "Everyone, please be quiet." From today onwards, we will bury our heads in the development of Wuxian County. When you go out of this door, everyone should forget about it, let alone write to family and friends to tell them. But you are welcome to bring your family and friends over and be re-educated by the proletariat. With that, he squeezed his eyes, and the crowd smiled knowingly.

"These days, I have visited every corner of Wu County. Our peasants do not have enough to eat, and the workers are living a tight life. Now, it's time for lunch. After the meal, I will find an 'expert' to discuss with you. I believe that his theoretical level can be recognized by everyone. ”

Wang Jianguo took Wushan over, and lunch was settled in the conference room.

A little boy in his teens, with a pair of big eyes flickering on his white face. With a black light-line fleece jacket and pants and a pair of cloth shoes, the whole person looks very neat and tidy, revealing a clever taste.

After lunch, Wu Shan bowed respectfully on the podium: "Hello grandparents, uncles and aunts, my name is Wu Shan, I am fifteen years old this year, and Wu Lixing is my father. ”

The highest position here is the old man Zhao Lisheng, the former deputy secretary of the Bashu Provincial Party Committee, who is sixty years away, with half-white hair, and looks at him with a smile: "Wushan children, you speak Mandarin very well." ”

"Hello Grandpa Zhao, I listen to the radio every day, and I learned from the uncles and aunts on the radio."

"Hey, you still know me?"

"Of course. Dad often talks about you at home. I also often read the regional Yixian Daily. Many of my predecessors have seen it in the newspapers. ”

Old Man Zhao stroked his beard: "Child, have you skipped a grade?" ”

"yes, elementary school stuff is too simple. I was almost done with my high school courses, and I read some college courses, most importantly Capital and Western economics books. ”

"Oh?"

Everyone in the room gasped.

An uncle wearing black glasses said cautiously, "Son, I'll test you." ”

Seeing Wushan's puzzled look, Old Man Zhao immediately explained: "Yang Yuanchao, the youngest son of Comrade Yang Yun. ”

Wushan was taken aback when he heard this, Yang Yun was an economic expert on the same level as the great man, and he has been behind the great man after the special period to provide advice and suggestions for reform and opening up.

Wu Shan immediately sat upright: "Uncle Yuanchao, please speak." ”

"For a while, I went to various places in rural factories to investigate, and found a problem: farmers, workers, and people are overworked, and they are all grinding foreign workers when they are working. Peasants set up gantry formations in the fields with hoes, and workers chatted and smoked in the workshop with tools. At the same time, when the peasants are not harvested every year, there is no overnight grain at home, and the workers have no money to spare. How to solve these problems. ”

Many of the people here are engaged in economic work, and they all stared intently at Wushan to see how he answered.

Wu Shan sorted out his thoughts: "Uncle Yang's problem is too big, and the kid is throwing bricks and bricks here." After the founding of the People's Republic of China, we all shouted the slogan of being the masters of the country, and whether in the cities or in the countryside, the peasants no longer cultivated the land for the landlords, and the factories were also nationalized, and to a certain extent, the enthusiasm of everyone was aroused. With the passage of time, the older generation slowly withdrew from the stage of history, and the new generation gradually became the mainstream of society. ”

"People of your generation, like Uncle Yang and my father, have not experienced the life before liberation, so naturally they can't experience the feeling of being the master of the house. Now the main workers are your group of people, and they no longer have the enthusiasm for the work of the grandparents in the early days of the founding of the country. If the land cultivated by the peasants is their own, the workers also become shareholders in the factory. I think things will get a lot better. ”

"The problem of farmers, I read the literature, the package production to the household appeared in 1956 in Jiayong County, Oujiang District, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province. In the summer of 1957, 1,000 agricultural cooperatives in the counties of the Oujiang region implemented this method, but they were subsequently criticized. It is undeniable that I believe that our current rural system needs to be reformed, and the direction is to ensure that production is delivered to every household. In this way, the peasants will truly become the masters of the land, and the enthusiasm for production will burst out. ”

"As for the worker becoming the owner of the enterprise, there is no precedent in our country. In foreign countries, capitalists will symbolically give shares to some managers, so that front-line production workers have the enthusiasm to work, because they have hope. At present, it is said that there is a Huadong village in Huatu Town, Jiangyang City, Taihu Province, and the branch secretary of Huadong Village is surnamed You, and they have several handicraft workshops to quietly sell their products to nearby counties. The peasants there also became handicraft workers, who paid dividends at the end of the year, and who were barely the owners of small businesses. If our enterprises give workers a certain amount of equity and participate in dividends at the end of each year, their enthusiasm will also be mobilized. At present, due to limited capabilities, there is only so much that can be thought of. ”

The participants all opened their mouths wide, and they couldn't imagine that such a child could talk about such a big topic and have something to say.

Wu Lixing let Wushan go home after dinner. In the days that followed, everyone approved the resolution of the agricultural production package to the households, and the industrial employees to participate in the shares. Concrete consultations were held on how to arrange the current rebel leaders in the districts and how to implement the current policies. March 12, 1974 is the most memorable day in the history of Wu County. At the meeting, the Wuxian County Revolutionary Committee adopted the document "The Wuxian Revolutionary Committee on Grassroots Cadres Studying the Old Three Articles on Leaving Work and Carrying Out the Special Period of the Proletariat to the End," and it was decided that all grassroots cadres, including the directors of the revolutionary committees of the communes, should go to the whole country in tandem to learn advanced experience and carry out the special period of the proletariat to the end. At the same time, the five categories of black personnel are assigned to the grassroots level to receive re-education. These people used to be leaders in all walks of life, and they must not be lazy out of their work, and they must return to their work posts to accept everyone's criticism.

Yixian Daily and Bashu Provincial Daily all rushed to report, and Wu Lixing also became a banner of Bashu Province, and various counties and cities invited him to make a report. Of course, Wu Lixing handed over the specific matters of making reports to the revolutionary generals who had performed prominently in the special period, and he himself took root in Wu County and continued to deepen the revolution in his own county.

When the people who emerged in those special periods went out of Wuxian County to the whole country, Wuxian's agricultural and industrial reform also entered the track, and all of this could not be found in all the documents of Wuxian.

Later, in his memoirs, Yang Yuanchao, a well-known economist and director of the Policy Office of the Government Council, praised the Wuxian 312 document as the most important milestone in the reform of modern China, and the total industrial and agricultural output value of the county increased by 36 times compared with the same period of the previous year.

Wushan's plan is unfolding step by step.
