"In the final analysis, the comrades now lack an understanding of socialized mass production. Even after so much material and experience preparation, the smallholder production mentality has not been effectively reversed......"

"The feudal idea of separation of power and mountaineering cannot be completely reversed by simple ideological education alone, including our comrades in the party, who will have this tendency to a greater or lesser extent. This cannot be blamed comrades, the material preparations are far from being sufficient. In the past, it was said that the county order was Bailihou, and if the power was from the top down, it would definitely become a feudal system......"

This is also the normal mode of thinking of human beings in pursuit of their own interests, and if they want to have class consciousness, they can do it through education. In order to have proletarian consciousness, it is necessary to have a sufficient level of material productivity and a strong organizational force for action......"

Chen Ke and the comrades discussed the latest collected questions, the comrades' incomprehension of the proletarian revolution, their confusion about their own position, and their uneasiness after fully realizing the class position. The intensity of this kind of backlash is far beyond the imagination of Shang Yuan and others.

Since comrades from other provinces did not gather in Xuzhou for the time being, seven high-ranking cadres participated in the meeting, and among the local cadres in Huaihai Province, Chen Ke named 10 middle-level cadres. Shang Yuan, Chen Tianhua, Wu Xingchen, and Yan Fu, who was temporarily in Xuzhou, these "old revolutionaries" were naturally among them, and there were some comrades who we were not very familiar with or valued. For example, Comrade Xu Yuanshan, Chen Ke has only met a few times, but he also got him into this meeting. Although Xu Yuanshan is Shang Yuan's subordinate, Shang Yuan himself doesn't know enough.

But the participants all have a characteristic, that is, they especially don't like to guess Chen Ke's mind. Because no one thinks that Chen Ke has any personal interests. This is also the reason why the comrades are willing to follow Chen Ke. Young people are willing to join a cause when a person devotes himself to a cause, and the cause itself is not a consecration of the sweet fruit of the final victory to only one person or a few people.

Everyone thought that Chen Ke would be unhappy and even angry. Chen Ke's performance surprised these comrades who were closely surrounding Chen Ke. Chen Ke not only did not have the slightest negative emotion, but he was even quite able to understand the reason why these comrades would disagree. There was no dissatisfaction with these comrades in the speech.

Even if the revolutionary consciousness is still far away, when the discussion came to an end temporarily, he had to sincerely express his admiration, "Chairman Chen, the prime minister can hold the boat in his belly, I really saw it." ”

"It's not that I have a big belly, it's just a fact. If you don't dare to look at the facts blindfolded, you are killing yourself. I would like to tell you about my personal experience, and my feeling is that all the so-called excellent qualities are all necessary for the sake of survival. The so-called misfortune is the law, and luck is a miracle. All the lucky ones are exactly the same. Because there is only one way to live in the world, and except for this one, it is a dead end. After embarking on the road to death, there is only the chance of when to die, and the inevitability of its failure has long been decided. All the excellent qualities are just to make yourself able to recognize the world and take the initiative to embark on this life path. ”

All of them here are comrades whom Chen Ke agrees with, and one of their most basic qualities is that they know how to observe. Chen Ke's words did not make these comrades show the slightest confusion on their faces, they either nodded slightly, or simply remained unmoved.

"Anyone who only pursues results, does not regard himself as a laborer, does not devote all his energy to doing things, will never become a true member of the People's Party. The ruling class does not rely on birth or blood, but on the awakening of the individual self and the improvement of ability. It's not that you want to be the ruling class, or you can become the ruling class by giving yourself the name of the ruling class. It is only through labor, through work, that the social value of the self can be recognized. To be self-righteous is to kill yourself. ”

After listening to Chen Ke's words, which were so straightforward that they were almost boring, everyone finally saw the helplessness hidden deep in Chen Ke's heart. But no one despises Chen Ke because of this, this leader of the People's Party, who is definitely not a "good person", has a truly generous heart. At least, Chen Ke sincerely hopes that through his own efforts, everyone can wake up.

"Wen Qing, this kind of thing is not in a hurry. As you said, since the material conditions are not fully in place now, it is quite satisfying to have so many outstanding comrades gathered together. Yan Fu smiled, "I have been teaching for decades, and the thousands of students I have seen have all thought they were talented, but I don't look down on any of them. Now I know that I didn't even figure it out myself. It is really incredible that so many outstanding comrades here today have gathered together. ”

The comrades knew that Yan Fu wanted to ease the atmosphere, and if according to Chen Ke's standards, among the more than 100,000 members of the People's Party, there were actually only one or two hundred comrades who could really be regarded as conscious. There should be many qualified comrades in the People's Party, but at least at this stage, there is still a big gap between them and their true enlightenment, or their distance from reaching Chen Ke's current level.

If anyone had said this to Chen Ke before, Chen Ke would definitely think that this person was a big liar with bad intentions, but now when he began to play the role of a big liar, Chen Ke could only smile bitterly, "Lack of ability, or even lack of guts, can be improved through work and labor." But the deviation in thinking determines whether it is going in the wrong direction in the first place. If what a person pursues from the beginning is personal prominence, something will happen sooner or later. Therefore, in our work at the present stage, we must not find faults, and we must promote the organizational building of our People's Party itself by strengthening organizational discipline and perfecting the system. ”

Shang Yuan is not particularly confident in himself, he said: "Now many comrades are worried about one thing, whether the masses will continue to cooperate with our People's Party. Personally, I believe that the comrades do not understand enough in the aspect of socialized mass production. Many comrades feel that they can dominate the world, and they always feel that the detailed management implemented now is the same as infringing on everyone's interests. I was deeply moved. ”

Chen Ke has no special way to do this, and if he wants to realize socialized mass production, he must see it in person. A friend once said something that Chen Ke agreed with very much, "If you haven't eaten pork, you haven't eaten pork." Even if you live with pigs 24 hours a day, you don't know what pork tastes like, and you still don't know what pork tastes like. ”

The most important thing is that even in the system of socialized mass production, if the thinking cannot be reversed, it is still useless. In response to Shang Yuan's speech, Chen Ke replied: "Under the situation of socialized large-scale production, nothing can be accomplished without cooperation. Most people will think that others should do it, and as long as they participate, the credit must be their own, which is human instinct. Especially in the context of a small-scale peasant economy, this is a very normal idea. We need to curb these problems through institution-building. If the comrades can recognize this, then they should act along this line. If you don't know this, you learn to know it in the process of work. But in any case, organizational discipline must be strengthened. And there must be absolutely no deviation in theoretical propaganda. ”

"At the end of the day, it's the difference between doing things and getting results." Shang Yuan sighed. The truth is very simple and understandable, but everyone can understand this simple truth, but they may not really do it according to this simple truth. It's a headache. Shang Yuan knows very well that even if the comrades do this meticulously under the constraints of the system, it does not mean that the comrades really think about it.

Turning his head depressedly, he casually glanced at Xu Yuanshan, who was attending the meeting, and listened calmly. Xu Yuanshan is now a middle-level cadre in the logistics department, and he only had contact with Chen Ke during this campaign to attack Qingdao, but Chen Ke had a considerable evaluation of Xu Yuanshan in a short contact, which made Shang Yuan a little curious. He asked, "Comrade Xu Yuanshan, what do you think?" ”

With this inquiry, the eyes of the comrades fell on Xu Yuanshan. Chen Ke didn't deliberately promote anyone, so it was quite surprising that several comrades, including Xu Yuanshan, were able to participate in this kind of meeting.

Facing Shang Yuan's question, Xu Yuanshan was a little nervous, but it was more of an excitement. He replied: "I don't think it's public enough. Chairman Chen repeatedly emphasized that there is a beginning and an end. Where is the beginning, where is the end. In each stage, the beginning and the end are different. From my own work experience, a lot of the processes don't make sense. There is too much overlap in the management system. Anyone can take care of it, but no one cares. The division of responsibilities is unreasonable. Of course, these are all problems with a lack of understanding of socialized mass production. ”

If it is at the level of Shang Yuan and others, it is normal to have this kind of understanding, and for a middle-level cadre, this kind of thinking is very interesting.

"Exactly?" Shang Yuan asked.

"I think it's about efficiency at this stage, not just scaling up. And for responsibility, it must be clear. I am engaged in logistics, and according to the current situation, it is impossible for logistics to meet the requirements of all quarters in any case. So logistics is always scolded. Xu Yuanshan said a few problems he encountered.

In this Qingdao campaign, the comrades of the General Staff Department did something that seemed to be very strange. The canals in the Xuzhou area have long been unusable. Although the BJP had a plan to dredge the canal, in reality the plan was entirely on paper. God knows which staff officer actually took this thing on paper as a piece of the transportation plan. It was written into the transportation plan in a grand manner. Coincidentally, this job fell to Xu Yuanshan.

Xu Yuanshan refuted it at the time, but the comrades of the General Staff Department personally led the team and asked the comrades of the Logistics Department led by Xu Yuanshan to drive a small boat along the canal, which was basically impassable. In fact, because of the rainy season, this operation is feasible. The staff officer didn't say anything unpleasant, just snorted and left with a cold face.

Xu Yuanshan felt ashamed of being dealt with such a long face. But he didn't complain. Because this period of time that can be navigated temporarily, even if it is transported by small boat, it can solve many problems. Therefore, Xu Yuanshan believes that under the current situation in the base area, many places are wasteful, not insufficient.

"And what do you mean?" It's far from understanding these issues too much.

"My thinking may be different from everybody's, but I think to a certain extent, we have to do some of the work in the private sector." Xu Yuanshan was not very confident when he answered.

"Private?" Most of the comrades attending the meeting were very surprised. At the present stage, the People's Party's thinking on a large country is almost a unified ideological field. The comrades were only worried that the state-run was not enough, and now they actually jumped out of such a private sector, which they thought should be private, and it really came as a surprise to the comrades.

"The staff comrades determined the transport capacity of the canal on the basis of the information provided by some local smugglers. I think so, you have to be paid for your work. Even if the reward is finished, because that guy has committed a crime, we have to shoot him, that's another matter. One yard to one yard, one thing to one thing, I think that many comrades just haven't been able to think clearly in this regard. I always feel that everything is black and white, not a beginning and an end. For example, if someone has a white hair, it doesn't mean that the person has white hair all over his body. But many comrades clearly do not think so. ”

After all, he is a middle-level cadre, and he is not an important middle-level cadre who commands a department, and Xu Yuanshan's words behind him sound a little cloudy. Although everyone can understand it, the topic involved is too big.

"This is to sever the ties between the party and the masses." Shang Yuan replied. One of the reasons why comrades have such big doubts about whether the masses will continue to follow the BJP is that in the propaganda of the BJP, the Party is in charge of everything.

"Not really." Xu Yuanshan replied a little anxiously, "Many times now, when it comes to doing something, it is for the party. Actually, it's not like that at all, originally everyone worked together, and this was done for themselves first. For example, if you charge, you will probably die if you rush up, and that is the critical moment. But in normal times, everyone is not able to work illegally, cannot play efficiently, or is simply tired and unwilling to work hard. Therefore, many times when they should have done a good job, it turned out to be a critical moment and they had to be done for the party. The critical moment is an unexpected event, and that is called a critical moment. But usually a casual thing, as long as it is tiring or cumbersome, it becomes a critical moment, and this ......, I think this is nonsense. ”

After hearing this, many comrades blackened their faces, and Chen Ke was the first to say it at the critical moment, because of the modern Chinese language promoted by the People's Party, Chen Ke made great efforts, so what new words Chen Ke used, everyone also used it. When the comrades present here encounter difficulties, it is very easy to use them at critical moments. Xu Yuanshan's words really have the flavor of overturning a boatload of people with one shot.

Although he was very unhappy in his heart, he couldn't completely agree with some of Xu Yuanshan's views. However, daring to put forward such a thing at such a meeting, Shang Yuan had to agree with Xu Yuanshan's courage. Just looking at this courage, Xu Yuanshan has a certain value that Chen Ke recognizes.

"Comrade Xu Yuanshan means that we want us to summarize the work in front of us now, right?" Wu Xingchen interjected, "That is to say, don't continue to implement so many new policies for the time being, but thoroughly understand the policies that have been implemented in front of you, as well as the concepts of these policies." Did I mean this by Comrade Xu Yuanshan? ”

After hearing this, Xu Yuanshan nodded again and again, "Indeed." I don't think it's right for people to think about a lot of things, it's just a random use of words. It sounds like the wrong mouth. ”

"Chairman Chen, what do you think of Comrade Xu Yuanshan's point of view?" Wu Xingchen turned his head and asked Chen Ke.

Since Xu Yuanshan is a comrade valued by Chen Ke, Xu Yuanshan's attitude must represent part of Chen Ke's opinions. Wu Xingchen didn't want to be entangled with Xu Yuanshan over the details. Even if many issues are now in such a uproar, it is still Chen Ke himself who determines the final line of the People's Party. Since it was Chen Ke who initiated this matter, Chen Ke himself would not allow this extremely influential matter to finally develop out of his control. At this time, it is most efficient to seek Chen Ke's opinion.

"I think Comrade Xu Yuanshan has a good understanding of daily work. When a monk hits the bell for a day, and when a monk hits the bell, he has to hit the bell, this is the content of the work. Grassroots work is the key to our People's Party, and many comrades now feel worried that the masses will not follow us, and although I have not investigated, I am worried that the comrades are not willing to continue to bury their heads in completing these hard grassroots work. There will be a misunderstanding that we comrades in higher positions do their work with ease. They see it as a compliment to get a higher status. Rather than getting a higher position means taking on greater responsibility. Therefore, I think some of Comrade Xu Yuanshan's attitudes are very meritorious. Chen Ke said with a smile.

If it is completely understood in the literal sense, Chen Ke wants to carry out a comprehensive combing of the entire base area from the grassroots level. This level of sorting is by no means an easy thing, and the comrades present here can be selected, except for Yan Fu, all of whom have very rich grassroots work experience.

This sort of sorting out is not only a determination of an all-encompassing work method, but also involves a large-scale rectification, including personnel. Comrades who can meet Chen Ke's requirements naturally do not have to worry, but what kind of changes will comrades who cannot meet Chen Ke's requirements encounter?

No one dares to mention such issues at this time.
