After visiting several scientific research institutions, Li Runshi led Zhang Yu to visit the technical school. China has officially made compulsory education an eight-year compulsory education. Five years of elementary school and three years of junior high school. After graduating from junior high school, you either enter a technical school or go on to high school. After graduating from high school, I choose to go to a technical college or university.

Of course, regardless of the academic qualifications, the BJP has implemented a policy of equal pay for equal work. The income after graduation has little to do with academic qualifications, and there is not much difference between skilled workers and scientific and technological developers in terms of salary and salary. The rewards are all for technological breakthroughs or technological innovations and improvements. Probably collectively referred to as patents.

Although Li Runshi was responsible for this matter, in the process of adjusting state-owned enterprises, Li Runshi squatted at the grassroots level and went down to the workshop. A lot of research work was done, and finally it was proposed that "cadres participate in labor, workers participate in management; reform of unreasonable rules and regulations; Managers and workers are combined in the practice of production and the technological revolution. ”

In the earliest industrial production departments of the People's Party, there were no so-called management posts, and all units were divided into front-line workers and training posts, which were handled by skilled veteran workers. Such a distribution is gradually met with resistance. One of the pillars of the feudal guild system was the master-apprentice system, which was similar to that of foreign countries, with technical blockades and guild barriers. Many masters don't want to teach their "unique skills" to others at all. Moreover, many new workers may not really participate in the work with the attitude of improving their personal labor level.

In order to fight against the traditional feudalism and improve efficiency, the training position gradually became independent and became a management position. This once solved the problem at that time, but the speed of industrial development was too fast, and the training positions themselves began to lag behind because they were separated from the first-line production, and the update of the technical level began to be gradually delayed. As a result, more complex managerial and technical positions are emerging. While these positions promote the improvement of production levels in some aspects, they also hinder the improvement of production levels in some aspects. It is difficult to find a balance between management and efficiency.

Zhang Yu very much agrees with Li Runshi's view, and one of the advantages of Chen Ke is that the system he established has shown its "advanced nature" as the industry develops further and later. The follow-up effects of such rapid development began to become apparent, and the people were increasingly drawn into the era of industrialization, getting rid of the agrarian system, and the people began to try to develop their own views on industrialized China. Li Runshi found that even within the People's Party, the reaction of the people in the era of industrialization was not necessarily agreeable.

It is the practice of the People's Party to select managers from among the laborers and from the grassroots level to the grassroots level. It's just that there is still a lack of a more systematic theory to guide this approach. Anyone wants to be able to do more with less. Even if you can willingly undertake hard work, you still hope that your relatives and children can be more comfortable and comfortable. Even Chen Ke has attached great importance to the attitude of seeking truth from facts since the beginning of the revolution, and has never made any unrealistic description of the revolution. How to enable people to face reality is still a big question.

Just like Zhou Shuren's "Theory of Life", fortunately said bluntly: Alzhibasuev once borrowed his novel to question the idealists who dreamed of the golden world of the future, because to create that world, many people must first be aroused to suffer. He said, "You have reserved the golden world to their children, but what are you giving to yourself?" "Yes, there is, hope for the future. But the price is too great, and for the sake of this hope, it is necessary to sensitize the senses, to feel his own pain more deeply, and to call up the soul to witness his own rotting corpse. Only by telling and dreaming will these times greatness be seen. So I thought, if we can't find a way, all we want is a dream; But don't dream about the future, just dream about the present.

As the head of the propaganda department, Li Runshi himself knew very well that what Zhou Shuren said was "not a dream of the future, only a dream of the present", but those who oppose labor focus on the opposition to the People's Party in this article. "You have reserved the golden world for their children and grandchildren, but what are you giving to yourself?"

Undoubtedly, this "they" refers to the current Chinese people, and the discomfort, confusion, and severe pain of social change are borne by these people. On the contrary, the younger generation was born in an era when rapid industrialization began and to a considerable extent, and will become more industrialized in the future. They themselves are a generation created by industrialization, and the era of agriculture is a thing of the past, even a story, for them. For a group of people who had privileges in the era of agriculture, and for those who completely lost their privileges in the era of industrialization, the creation of the People's Party, which led the continuous promotion of China's industrialization, was evil itself.

Li Runshi and Zhang Yu discussed these issues, and Zhang Yu listened very carefully. This is the irrefutable status quo in China, where a few years ago there was a debate about which era of agrarian age was more difficult than the era of industrialization. In the beginning, many opinions were that the era of agriculture was more difficult. After all, in the agricultural era, not everyone can afford the high-intensity manual labor during the busy agricultural period. But after these comparisons deepened, this view changed.

The industrial age has indeed made life more convenient, with more nutrition, more medical care, and more knowledge, and the absolute intensity of physical labor during the busy agricultural season has been decreasing. To put it another way, in the past, only croppers had the opportunity to be busy all year round, but now the whole society of men and women has to be busy all year round. With the social division of labor, the amount of labor paid by each person is only a little more. With the use of machines, more new industries have emerged, and the industrial chain has been continuously improved. Workers in industrial societies work harder, and the absolute number of workers who can become laborers is several times greater than in the agricultural era.

What is the purpose of all this hard work? This question is before the masses of the people.

If you think about the bittersweet memory, so hard work is for the revolution, for the children, for the glory of the ancestors...... of course, you can find countless explanations. However, we have to reflect on one thing, "If we reserve the golden world for our children and grandchildren, what will we give to ourselves?" "Is it just endless hard work? Is it endless labor? If labor and toil are the essence of the world, then what is the so-called golden age?

The Chinese people are a great people, and the questions that these old literati tried to raise did not have much repercussions among the people, who did not like suffering, but were accustomed to labor. "What do you eat if you don't work?" Falling from the sky? Old owl? "Let the working masses not follow the old literati and their disciples and grandchildren. However, this general reflection that has begun to emerge in society is now only the beginning, not the end.

Zhang Yu quietly listened to Li Runshi's words, and then smiled: "The people are right, what do you eat if you don't work?" Falling from the sky? Old owl? Comrade Li Runshi, the vast majority of comrades have no opinion on your personal qualifications and qualities. Your level of strategy is also universally recognized. The only thing I am worried about is that after your generation takes over the country, what you have to do is not only to continue to promote the development of China's social productive forces, but also to face many problems that we have not encountered. You must continue to promote the development of the socialist system and the theory of communism itself. You work harder than we do. ”

"Haha." Li Runshi also laughed, it was not a humble smile, let alone a scene laugh, but a hearty smile unique to people who knew that the road was difficult and continued to move forward bravely.

Zhang Yu continued: "For example, our generation only needs to lay a huge family business, leaving us not much time, and when we die to see Marx, we can also tell him that materialism tells us that without a material foundation, all ideas, opinions, literature, and art are empty talk. What we do is to complete the initial accumulation of this substance. In the same way, as long as there is a strong and rich material foundation, all ideas, opinions, literature, and art will inevitably flourish. How prosperous it can be, we will ask Comrade Li Runshi when he comes. As materialists, we should believe in the progress of the times, and the past is not a normal society. ”

With Zhang Yu's clear support and approval, Li Runshi also breathed a sigh of relief. In terms of theoretical framework, especially in the theoretical framework at this stage, Chen Ke obviously has no good way. Even if this new era is opened up by Chen Ke, Chen Ke's theoretical guidance seems to have reached the point where Jiang Lang has exhausted his talents in this era.

As always, Chen Ke is still able to put forward quite unique and even subtle ideas on social institutions, such as flat societies, such as the information age. However, everything that Chen Ke proposed has too high requirements for science and technology and the level of productivity. Li Runshi clearly felt that Chen Ke was delaying time and adjusting social contradictions, whether the contradictions broke out first, or whether the scientific and technological progress that Chen Ke talked about was completed first. It's most likely a matter of luck. At present, the contradictions in China, the contradictions in the People's Party, and the contradictions between the people and social development have all reached a very intense level.

Li Runshi and Zhang Yu talked about problems in the field of production. Although Chen Ke's modern enterprise management ideas are advanced, there is a problem between the "investor" and the "producer", and the main contradiction between the investor and the producer is the contradiction between profits. Once capital is in the hands of the state, the bureaucracy can easily interfere with its distribution through power. Most of the members of the BJP are the backbone of various industries, and after the adoption of the civil service system, officials are developing in the direction of "government employees" rather than high-ranking officials. It's just that there is a constant conflict between the traditional perceptions of the old era and the various production relations of the new era.

Whoever controls capital controls everything. This practical problem has become the biggest contradiction in China's social development. After entering the industrial age, all problems gradually became linked to this main contradiction.

Now look at Chen Ke's ability to make the banking industry independent of the bureaucracy, which is a very predictable move. When the bureaucracy tried to meddle in the operation of capital, this dam blocked the bureaucracy's aspirations. However, how long this embankment can be stopped, Li Runshi also feels that he has little confidence. It's not a moral problem of the bureaucracy, it's the bureaucracy, and the power that is tentatively expanding its territory. Even if it was Chen Ke who stood in their way, the bureaucracy would not just obediently stop trying.

Li Runshi said: "Unless the people are the masters of the country, the people exercise comprehensive supervision over state affairs. Otherwise, there is nothing we can do to stop the bureaucratic seizure of power, which in a large sense means the restoration of the feudal system. ”

Zhang Yu smiled, "In this case, our propaganda department will have to face an almost never-ending attack of populism. As long as the people do not actively pursue science, the people will always use populism for immediate interests, and the populists will make full use of the people, and some extremist clowns will come out and jump, and the two will be so entangled. And the bureaucracy will try to entangle these things together, trying to demand more power. That's probably the same thing. ”

With such an almost unsolvable problem in front of him, Zhang Yu's tone was full of mockery. After entering a new industrial era, what is shown in front of you is not only magnificent, not only progress, from Zhang Yu's "gloomy" perspective, but there is a great disaster coming, to the point of imminence.

"Comrade Li Runshi, I have always thought that Comrade Chen Ke is not like a human being, and I have already been called very dark, but I personally think that if I am dark, then Comrade Chen Ke is looking at the world in the endless abyss. He never had any illusions about this world, nor did he have any special kindness to this world. And you have one thing that I really appreciate, you are so nice to people. Whenever there is a chance, you will try to save someone else's soul. Comrade Chen Ke just clung to it and didn't let go. For Comrade Chen Ke, changing the world is more like a burden and a mission. And for you, it's a cause you're willing to fight for. In this regard, I hope you will be able to assert yourself. In many cases, we are in need of ideals. After Zhang Yu finished speaking, he sighed deeply. Li Runshi was a little puzzled whether Zhang Yu himself regarded the revolution as his mission or joined the revolution with an idealistic attitude. In this regard, Zhang Yu is a very difficult guy to see.

After understanding the latest situation and the main contradictions in the country, Zhang Yu no longer continued to watch, but returned to Zhengzhou with Li Runshi.

The Politburo of the People's Party is quite inconsistent on whether or not to mobilize in general. Surprisingly, the Military Commission was quite conservative, and their plans were only to march into Australia and New Zealand. On the contrary, other comrades of the Politburo hope to completely liberate Asia, especially the oil-rich Middle East. This drunkard means even to the point that the comrades are too lazy to say it.

In this regard, the previously contradictory banking, industrial and commercial sectors have now reached an alliance. Their attitude is unprecedented, and they all demand to do their utmost to liberate Asia personally. They are the hardliners who want to carry out a total war the most.

The Central Military Commission is only in favor of expanding the navy, hoping to divide the Pacific Ocean in two with the United States, and China will accept the fact that the United States has a presence in the Philippines, and the western Pacific, the South Pacific, and the islands in the Central Pacific will all be under China's administration. Since there is such a plan, what the Central Military Commission has put forward is a short-term strategy. As far as possible, all wars in these regions should be ended within a year, and after allowing the Americans to expand their armaments, they will not find an opportunity to enter the war in these areas.

Obviously, the CMC's plan is first and foremost a "short-term strategy," and as for the long-term strategy for the future, the CMC is not without its own attitude, but it is just going so far at this time, which will do all kinds of harm to the course of the war and will not benefit anything.

As soon as Zhang Yu and Li Runshi returned to Zhengzhou, they were involved in this dispute. If we can get the support of Zhang Yu, a member of the Central Advisory Committee, and the approval of Li Runshi, vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, we will probably be able to decide China's decision in the war. In this regard, Chen Ke himself has always abided by the resolutions of the party committee, and there is no way for Chen Ke to reverse what can be determined at the party committee.

Zhang Yu's only response to these claims was to insist on the system of making decisions at party committee meetings, and did not put forward any personal opinions. But this statement has proved Zhang Yu's point of view, the more selfish people are, the less they dare to publicly veto Chen Ke's opinion at the party committee. In the few times when Chen Ke's opinion was rejected, the content of the discussion had nothing to do with Chen Ke himself, and it was completely based on facts. Zhang Yu's attitude has already expressed his position, and those comrades don't even dare to lobby Li Runshi now.

Chen Ke, who is at the center of this entanglement of interests, does not consider the problems of any interest groups at all. The war must be fought, and Chen Ke knows this very well, there is no turning back from the bow, and modern warfare will definitely be fought until the final collapse of one side is complete. Therefore, Chen Ke himself was opposed to the implementation of the general mobilization plan. In recent years, Chen Ke has become increasingly uneasy about the expansion of the bureaucracy. The USSR is an example of this. Uncle Iron Man is good at everything, but he doesn't see through the essence of the bureaucracy. Of course, it can be said that the feudal era of the Soviet Union was not long enough, and the overall management level of society lagged behind after entering the industrial age. As a result, as soon as Uncle Iron Man died, the bureaucracy was overturned, and even Comrade Beria was killed. Since then, the Soviet Union has become a state where the bureaucracy has been in the hands of the sky.

If the interest groups hadn't made trouble this time, Chen Ke might still have some illusions. However, interest groups began to make trouble, and instead of establishing a more scientific mode of production through the development of productive forces, they obtained the interests of various groups by competing for more distribution rights, which made Chen Ke suddenly wake up.

At the Politburo meeting, Chen Ke couldn't help but look at Lu Huitian, vice chairman of the National People's Congress, many times. Comrade Lu Huitian undoubtedly danced happily here.

If he was twenty years younger, Chen Ke would not have the patience he has now. This is also the result of drawing on historical experience.

There is a tragedy in history, when Chairman Mao questioned the capitalist roaders in the party, and as a result, the representative of the bureaucratic system asked, "Who is the capitalist roaders?!" ”

Chairman Mao couldn't hold back for a while, so he named a few names. Soon, several people were killed after being impacted in the fight. Chairman Mao endured all the hardships in the personnel struggle, and what he has always opposed the most is the personnel struggle, and once the political struggle is turned into a personnel struggle, it is destined to cause serious problems. Many careerists immediately jumped out to muddy the waters.

Chen Ke knew that he was far from being set aside, so he had to hold back no matter how dissatisfied he was. This is Chen Ke's obligation.
