As the saying goes, some people are happy and some people are sad. The sorrow of Wang Youhong, the governor of Jiangsu, and the sericulture industry in Jiangsu is completely based on the joy of the sericulture industry of the People's Party.

Li Shouxian is in the middle of his final work in Yingshan County. After this party school, Li Shouxian was transferred to Wuhu to serve as secretary of the Wuhu Municipal Party Committee. The work in Yingshan County has to be completed first. Due to the lack of land, Yingshan County mainly relies on external transfer of grain. The granary is piled with enough grain for the whole county to eat for 14 months. Li Shouxian took the county party committee to various townships in Yingshan County, and went to publicize the policy of unified purchase and marketing. The grain in Yingshan County must be sold to the state and cannot be shipped abroad. However, there is no grain that can be exported in Yingshan County, and the masses are completely concerned about the fact that grain prices in various townships should not fluctuate.

Li Shouxian traveled from township to township. Inspect the propaganda work in the townships. The questions raised by the township chiefs were basically the same, and the masses demanded that the grain be distributed first, and as long as the grain was distributed, they could do whatever they wanted.

"It's absolutely not going to work." Li Shouxian refused without saying a word, "Our grain store is not only open for a day or two, but it has been distributed, what are you afraid of?" The last time you cut your braids, you must not repeat it. ”

Yingshan's braid-cutting action gave Li Shouxian a profound lesson. At that time, when Li Shouxian talked with the comrades of the county party committee about cutting and discernment, he only aimed at the demands made by the worker comrades of the local silk reeling factory. Speaking of death and life, there are still people who refuse to cut it, Li Shouxian and they were confused for a while, and they were given five catties of rice for each person who cut the braids. With an income of five catties of rice, the enthusiasm of the workers' comrades for cutting and distinguishing was high. I cut off all my braids in one day.

The county party committee thought that this matter was over, but they never expected that the news spread like a gust of wind throughout Yingshan County. After the "explanation" of the masses, it became that the county party committee wanted to "collect its hair". In the past few days, the secretaries of the township party committees have come to ask if the county wants to collect their hair. Li Shouxian hurriedly asked the county party committee and the township party committee how to explain to the masses. However, it was too late, and not only did the masses not believe the explanations of the township party committee, but as time went on, even more bizarre statements came out.

"The county party committee wants to use hair for alchemy!"

"The BJP is ready to weave protective vests with hair. It is said to be invulnerable. ”

At this time, the county party committee had no choice but to bite the bullet. If this matter is not closed in time, more mysterious claims will gush out. Through discussions, the party committee put forward a unified reason for the cut. "Yingshan County has already been revolutionized, and the revolution cannot be braided. Now I cut my braids, and I have five catties of rice per person. If you don't cut your braids, the township government will come to your door and forcibly cut them in the future. At that time, there was no such good thing as five catties of rice. ”

With such an explanation, the attitude of the masses immediately changed from being enthusiastic about cutting and selling hair to being afraid and unwilling to cut it. However, after the rice was changed from five catties to ten catties, some people began to cut and distinguish their fate. Ten catties of rice is enough for people in the mountains to mix other coarse grains to eat for half a month. After the rice arrived, cutting finally became a trend.

For this reason, Li Shouxian had to report the reason to the Anqing Party Committee and was willing to take responsibility for the extra 1.3 million catties of rice. Zhang Yu stared at Li Shouxian for a long time without saying a word, and finally said helplessly, "I'll talk next time." ”

As a classic case, this incident was compiled into the work education curriculum of the People's Party.

The masses of Yingshan County have had a good harvest this year, and since Yingshan County now only accepts renminbi for state-run trade, the circulation of gold, silver, and copper coins will soon be almost extinct. Mulberry leaf picking can earn an average of two yuan a day, and silkworm raisers earn two yuan a day. The silk reeling factory is even higher, about two yuan a day for a junior worker, and four yuan a day for a skilled worker.

The silk reeling factory is located near the hot springs in Yingshan County, and the hot spring water is directly introduced into the silk reeling factory to cook silk, saving a lot of fuel. The faint smell of sulphur and billowing steam makes it uncomfortable. This is also the reason for the high wages in the silk reeling factory. In order to better lighting, the tall factory uses a lot of glass. The enduring and determined strengths of female workers are gradually manifested in this working environment. Originally, the proportion of male workers in the silk reeling factory was as high as 70%, and after a period of work, men would rather do the more physically demanding work of picking mulberry than engage in these delicate and troublesome silk reeling work all day. When it comes to machine management and transportation, the proportion of men soars to 100 percent. In addition to the management positions such as team leaders, women also occupy an overwhelming 100% advantage in meticulous work.

The price of rice and flour in the base areas is about two cents and five pounds, and the average amount of grain that the masses can buy from grain stores can reach the level of 500 pounds throughout the year. The Yingshan people, who have not had the concept of being full for generations, can finally have a full meal. The support of the masses for the new government has reached an almost prostrative level.

Li Shouxian didn't have time to sigh at all, the work of the county party committee was very busy.

"Has the insecticide been distributed?"

"How's the boarding school building going?"

"Has the accommodation of the agricultural technicians been adjusted?"

Before leaving, these tasks must be completed as soon as possible, and after the new comrades are transferred, they must not let their families take over a mess. These arrangements are relatively easy to handle, but things are much more troublesome at the factory. This is the first time that Yingshan County has incorporated the whole county into one system. The pillar industries dominated by mulberry and tea require a large number of laborers, and in the face of an unprecedented situation, various problems cannot be avoided.

"Secretary Li, you can't teach this, and you can't change it no matter how you say it." The comrades of the mulberry leaf department pointed to the mulberry garden and said indignantly.

Lu Huitian looked at the mulberry garden and laughed. I saw that the place where it was easy to pick mulberry leaves was about to be plucked, and the place where it was not easy to pick mulberry leaves was lush and green. "Don't worry, this shows that there are few mulberry species. A variety of points is no problem. ”

"We have planted a lot, but the key is that these people don't listen to persuasion. Look at those little trees, how can they grow so fast? "The responsible comrades are completely unacceptable to the practice of the masses killing chickens and eggs.

"That shows one thing, we have a problem with management. Allocate manpower to guard the mulberry garden. Li Shouxian gave a solution.

"Just be conscious! The manpower of guarding the mulberry garden is also an expense. Now the province is willing to give supplies, Secretary Li, you also said, don't expect the province to give supplies next year. What then? "Comrade is still not happy.

"You can't do large-scale industrial production by relying on self-consciousness. The big industry is super strict, you look at the silk reeling workshop, from the wearing of clothes to every action, you have to manage. And it's important to make it clear why you're doing it. In fact, the masses do not know good and bad, but without system management, it is still useless. Allocate manpower to guard the mulberry garden and pick it regularly. After Li Shouxian finished speaking, he felt that there was still a missing link, "hold a meeting and tell the masses about these newly added management links." ”

The comrades in the mulberry leaf department frowned, "Will the masses not accept it?" ”

Li Shouxian understood what the cadres meant: Now that the party committee talks about mass work, many comrades mistakenly think that satisfying the masses means conforming to the minds of the masses, and this is obviously a misunderstanding of the cadres. We are not dissatisfied with the masses or have any thoughts about making things difficult for anyone. It's that the current practice of picking mulberry is wrong, and we have to do it for the benefit of everyone. Otherwise, there will be no mulberry leaves next year, how can everyone raise silkworms? I believe in the masses, it is the masses who can understand the truth and distinguish between right and wrong, not what we say, and the masses will give us a good job. I'll go back and arrange it. ”

was about to open the pull, Li Shouxian felt uneasy, "We must explain it clearly to the masses." Don't hide things, but make things clear. ”

Sure enough, as Li Shouxian expected, this incident caused a lot of conflicts. Although the masses already know that mulberry leaf picking has begun to be standardized, everyone does not know how to standardize the law. After carrying the flat pole to the mulberry garden, I saw that there were people guarding the intersection, and there were many people watching from the side. On weekdays, everyone sees which mulberry leaves are easy to pick, go up three times five to two to fill the pick, and then run to sell the mulberry leaves, now it takes more than twice the time to fill the pick. Immediately, there was a noise.

"You're all right?"

"You can't die if you pick more trees. Don't pick this tree next time. ”

"Every time I change the tree, others pick it indiscriminately, why do you want me to suffer with it?"

These are all quite ordinary, and some of them simply start to slash. The guards of the mulberry garden went up to stop them, and the two sides directly clashed. This was the first skirmish between the masses and the government in Yingshan County.

When the matter was reported back to the county party committee, the young comrades of the county party committee immediately jumped up. On the first day, he bowed to the happy life brought by the new government of the People's Party, and on the second day, he dared to do something to the comrades who guarded the mulberry garden. This is a rebellion!

Some advocated dispatching the county armed forces department, while others advocated arresting those who led the troublemakers. Ideas for a forceful restoration of order have abounded.

"Everybody sit down!" Li Shouxian shouted.

One by one, the young comrades were gearing up and preparing to listen to Secretary Li's comprehensive handling arrangements.

"If there is a conflict, it means that our arrangement is wrong and the process is not perfect. In this way, let's inform you now, and after three days, the work of picking mulberry leaves and transporting mulberry leaves will be separated. Three days later, we came with the burden, and we all treated it according to the mulberry leaves. The money given is subtracted. Li Shouxian said.

"What!" The cadres were frightened by Li Shouxian's suggestion, and everyone immediately objected, "Then the conflict is over?" There are two if there is one, Secretary Li, this matter can't be let go like this. Otherwise, next time they dare to go even further. ”

"The reason for the conflict is that people want to make more money, not because the masses are dissatisfied with us. What the masses are dissatisfied with is the process arrangement. Then let's change this arrangement. Only by resolving this contradiction can we be regarded as resolving the fundamental contradiction. Li Shouxian said unhurriedly.

"Secretary Li, I don't think what you said is right, if they really agree with us, then they should listen to the government. Obviously, after the government adjustment, they did not listen at all, and still did what they did. They think that the government is run by his family, and they can do it if they want to, and they can not do it if they want to? "The head of the county public security bureau advocates toughness.

However, other comrades saw that Li Shouxian did not want to exacerbate the problem, and they were all villagers, so some people came out to want to make peace, "The masses are also confused for a while, I don't think there is any need to care so much." ”

"Wait!" Li Shouxian interrupted, "The masses are not confused at all, they know very well what they are doing. In order for the masses to get rid of the status quo of poverty, they took part in the work. Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft the water, everyone carried out excessive picking of mulberry leaves. It's not that we don't let the masses pick like this, it's unscientific. If we continue to do it like this, I am afraid that there will be no mulberry trees in the county next year. This has an impact on helping the masses out of poverty. Do you think what I'm saying is realistic? ”

This is the truth in the first place, and the comrades naturally do not refute it. The director of the public security bureau was obviously still angry, and he asked angrily: "Secretary Li, look at it now, the masses are unwilling to talk about this science. So what do we do. ”

Li Shouxian said with a smile: "The people's response method is not scientific, which means that our work arrangement is not scientific. Our management model has contributed to such a result. Do you think the masses don't know that mulberry trees will die if they are plucked like this? They know for sure. Why do they do it? It must have been the management methods we provided that prompted the masses to do so. ”

The director of the public security bureau was still very unconvinced, "Secretary Li, according to what you said, let's separate the work of picking mulberry leaves from transporting mulberry leaves, and reduce the price to half, so what's the use." Now it's just a business that can make money. The people who pick mulberry leaves also want to pick more and sell more. ”

"That's right. The people who pick mulberry leaves also want to pick more. But just by convincing the mulberry leaf pickers, we face much less pressure on the whole. This problem has proved that it is useless to rely on blocking, and can only rely on persuasion and education. The people picking mulberry leaves saw the situation of the mulberry trees with their own eyes, and they must have felt more. Moreover, if we organize the masses to plant a variety of mulberry trees, our mulberry leaf supply will also come up next year. This is the only way to solve the problem at the root. We are not short of mulberry trees in Yingshan County, nor are we short of tea trees, and we are not at all opposed to the masses getting rid of poverty by labor, and we are now facing the danger that the masses will be exhausted and fish. It is enough for us to resolve this major contradiction of the moment. In fact, we and the masses have to do exactly the same thing. ”

To put it mildly, Li Shouxian finally reached a consensus in the county party committee. After two days of more detailed discussions, the county party committee formulated the basic process of "professional agricultural development teams in Yingshan County".

In the past two days, the purchase price of mulberry leaves has plummeted, only half of the original. The masses dared to clash with the forest guards, but they did not dare to clash with the comrades who bought mulberry leaves. There is still an essential difference between robbing money and robbing mulberry leaves. Although it is said that this mountain forest belongs to the government, everyone still feels that anyone can go to this mountain forest. But robbing the government's money, being caught and killed by the government, it is completely up to him to find his own death. No matter how hard they begged, the comrades who bought it did not raise the price. This resolute attitude let the masses know that this is really causing trouble.

In fact, the people who clashed with the members of the rangers were also uneasy. However, looking at the mulberry tree in front of them, the only thought that filled everyone's minds was the urge to "quickly pick the mulberry leaves to exchange for money". Mulberry leaves are actually worthless, and everyone's strength is not worth much. It is only here at the BJP that these two things have value. Even if the masses who were appointed by the People's Party to protect the mulberry garden, the mulberry leaves they grabbed still had to be sold to the people's party's silkworm farm.

After this clash with the government, many people have become uneasy. The masses are not stupid at all, they have been planting mulberry, raising silkworms, and reeling silk for the past two years, and the transport team is also organized by the Yingshan masses, and they are also trying to figure out who such a large output is sold to. From the official explanations to the intelligence collected by the masses themselves, these raw silks were sold to foreign devils. The entire sales chain, except for foreign devils, is in the hands of the People's Party. This means that the masses are not able to intervene in other links at all. If the county party committee stops raising silkworms in a fit of rage, it will be the masses themselves who are unlucky. Leave a bunch of raw silk in your hand, there's a fart.

On the third day after the beating incident, there were not many people picking mulberry for the first time. Although everyone also gathered at the entrance of the township government, they did not know what to say. Some people have already inquired that the township head, the secretary of the township party committee, and others are not in the township, and the masses already feel that they have caused trouble, and those who have beaten people naturally dare not speak up again. Those who didn't participate in the action have already pointed at those guys who have ruined everyone's livelihood and scolded.

Before noon, the township chief and the secretary of the township party committee returned to the township with black faces, and the masses took the initiative to make way for them. No one spoke, but everyone looked at the township chief and the secretary of the township party committee with eager eyes. Hope to get news from them.

"We are going to build another mulberry team based on the rangers. If you are willing to plant a tree, sign up. Do a day's work, give a piece of five cents. The township chief shouted with a dark face.

The masses were silent, and it was clear that the township chief had not yet spoken to the key points. How are you going to deal with this beating? The purchase price of this mulberry leaf is so low, will it continue like this, or will it be lower?

The township chief then shouted: "In the future, the mulberry leaves will be divided into two parts, one part is to transport the mulberry leaves, whether you pick them yourself or get the picked mulberry leaves from the mulberry garden." It's all at the current price. The other part is to plant mulberry trees and pick mulberry leaves. We pay this part of the masses a salary of five cents a day according to what I said earlier. ”

The masses have been discussing this new arrangement. Some people feel that it is being cut out of money. But some smart people have figured it out, and in this way, everyone's income has not decreased. Although the income of mulberry leaf picking seems to be less, it is much easier to not have to run away. And those who transport mulberry leaves, because they don't have to pick them personally, the time saved, as long as they run a few more times, they can definitely earn the money back. It's just that which type of job to choose makes these smart masses feel in a dilemma.

In fact, the masses are not short of wisdom, and the township chief explained it, but everyone may not believe it. But as soon as you add it up, you can fully understand where the benefits are. The enthusiasm for work, which had been struck down, was immediately reinvigorated. Someone has already started to sign up for work in the mulberry garden.

It is absolutely impossible for a new order to be built in a day, and the new social division of labor has been running in for half a month before it has initially stabilized. To the surprise of the director of the Public Security Bureau, as soon as the township chiefs gave the order, those who participated in the adults were dragged to the county to "bear the guilt." Li Shouxian received these people.; Li Shouxian is still not in a hurry, "Fellow villagers, everyone wants to live a good life, and it means that the county party committee has to apologize to everyone." This is an unreasonable arrangement. However, whoever you hit, you have to apologize to those people. In any case, this beating is not right. ”

Under the leadership of Li Shouxian, the masses who beat people went to express their condolences and apologize to the comrades of the beaten rangers. In fact, the conflict caused at most a slight bruise on the nose and face, and there was no moderate damage. The secretary of the county party committee and the villagers came to express their condolences and apologize in person, and the people who were beaten were either discouraged, and those who did not lose their anger were discouraged, and they took Liang Zi over after a few symbolic punches to the "perpetrators".

In this regard, Li Shouxian grasped it very well. Under the sudden drastic improvement in life, the masses were very uncomfortable. In fact, not to mention the masses, Li Shouxian himself is very uncomfortable. When he first arrived in Yingshan County, the poverty here was really shocking, and the tattered and old were all that Yingshan County was. Any opportunity to survive and make money, there are countless people who break their heads to grab it. Suddenly, everyone was equal, every family life was settled, and the greatest hope in everyone's hearts was to be able to completely change the lives of poverty in the shortest possible time.

This is because there are no masses in Yingshan County who truly believe that this new order established by the People's Party can survive for a long time.

When these tasks were done, the new secretary of the county party committee also arrived. Li Shouxian saw this successor and couldn't help but smile on his face. This is Xu Guangde, the deputy county magistrate of Guangde County. was once Li Shouxian's boss.

At the reception meeting, Xu Guangde expressed his attitude, "The organization arranged for me to work here, and this Yingshan County is now my hometown." I will earnestly study from the comrades, make progress together, and do a good job in Yingshan County together. ”

Such a humble attitude was at least warmly welcomed by the comrades on the surface. Then, Xu Guangde and Li Shouxian arranged the training of the county's party school and cadre school. At the end of the welcome meeting, Li Shouxian and Xu Guangde had a private conversation. Li Shouxian thought that Xu Guangde would talk about the party school. But I didn't expect Xu Guangde to say with a narrow smile: "Comrade Li Shouxian, when I was in Guangde County, a female comrade came to look for you, and she was still very beautiful. Everyone in Guangde County praises you for your peach blossom luck. ”

Li Shouxian never expected Xu Guangde to come to such a show, he scolded with a smile: "What are you talking about? ”

"Look, don't believe it. Comrade Ji Ye of the Restoration Society, do you still have an impression? Xu Guangde said with a smile.

Li Shouxian shook his head helplessly, "There is an impression." You also know Comrade Ji Ye, just say that she is not good earlier, and she is still pretending to be a ghost. ”

"Okay, okay, I'm not pretending to be a ghost." Xu Guangde put away his smile, "It seems that something has happened to the Restoration Society, Comrade Ji Ye probably wants to ask you for help." Since you're gone, she's gone. ”

"What's going on?" Li Shouxian was very curious.

Xu Guangde replied: "If we use the standards of our People's Party, there will be accidents every day in the Restoration Society, and there will not be a day without accidents." As far as I know, the Liberation Society seems to be split internally. Several factions fought fiercely. Comrade Ji Ye followed Xu Xilin in Changxing County, next to Guangde County. It's just Xu Xilin's faction, and it doesn't stop. I listen to Comrade Ji Ye's meaning, she advocates completely following the study of our People's Party and thoroughly carrying out land reform. However, the Liberation Society opposed land reform. I think she's trying to get you advice. However, we have discipline and are not allowed to participate in the affairs of other parties. I can't say anything. ”

Li Shouxian knew this discipline, and although he was very sympathetic to Ji Ye, who was involved in the internal strife of the Restoration Society, Li Shouxian could only remain silent.

"By the way, where are you assigned?" Xu Guangde asked with a smile.

"I went to Wuhu to be the secretary of the municipal party committee."

"Wuhu is also very close to Changxing, you have to be careful." Xu Guangde advised.

"As long as you don't talk nonsense, I'm sure I'll be fine." Li Shouxian heard what Xu Guangde meant.

At night, Li Shouxian lay down to rest, and he could fall asleep when he lay down, but this time when he heard Ji Ye's news, Li Shouxian took two minutes longer than usual to fall asleep, "Comrade Ji Ye, a little girl, was actually involved in the internal struggle of the Restoration Society, ...... really pitiful." ”

With such sympathy, Li Shouxian fell asleep within five minutes.
