Chapter 90: Luochuan Plateau
Li Siguang took people to Yanchang. He didn't want to waste time in the midst of all these distractions.
The ancient city of Xi'an, although it has experienced war, is still intact.
Some new mosques have been built in the Muslim settlements, but they are Chinese-style buildings with flying eaves and bucket arches. There are imams in these halal cities who are teaching scriptures.
However, the Muslim unions have promised to provide education in accordance with the curriculum and textbooks prescribed by the Ministry of Education. As for the question of Islam, it can be included in history textbooks and studied as part of Chinese history, after all, Islam has been continuously integrated into the Chinese family since the Tang Dynasty. After all, among the many Chinese classics, the Koran is only one of them.
"Chinese philosophical thought is formed by absorbing the ideas of various ethnic groups, and it cannot be thought that one classic can solve the problem, if so, the current world should be a perfect world. But in fact it is not. All people should reflect on what went wrong with the philosophical thinking of the past that led to the current situation of the country. Taking the essence and removing the dross is the inevitability of social development. We need to give more consideration to these issues when compiling history and philosophy textbooks. Unrealistic fantasies are called superstitions. This is true regardless of doctrine or doctrine, without exception. ”
"Shouldn't Taoist pretending to be gods and ghosts and drawing talismans to harm people?" Qian Xuantong still insisted on his own point of view.
"Pretending to be a god and making ghosts, drawing talismans to harm people naturally must be banned, but it cannot be said that the entire Taoist doctrine is unreasonable. Whether it is Buddhism, Confucianism, Islam, Legalism, Moism, soldiers, etc., all have their reasonable side. But there is also an irrational side. Studying the rational side and discarding the irrational side is the task of those of us who teach and educate people. Again, that's the same sentence. Don't choke on food. Any theory, put into practice, good and bad will naturally come out. There is a saying in China that a mule is a horse, and it is pulled out to slip away. ”
Exit from the Mosque of Huajue Lane.
Zhang Chun said with a smile: "This place still needs to be renovated, it should be open to the people, the architectural art and culture here are very distinctive, and the circle is not allowed to be seen." It's a waste. Of course, the inside is converted into a school, or for people to visit, you can do it yourself. It's better not to change to a factory, it's too wasteful. Is there any way to renovate the residential area here? ”
"The Bureau of Surveying and Mapping is still conducting surveying and mapping. However, some shantytowns have already begun to be rebuilt. Zhang Guotao replied.
"Xi'an is an ancient city, and the renovation should also be combined with protection and reconstruction, and new buildings should be carried out outside the city walls. It is necessary to increase the area of green space. Improve people's living environment. Residential buildings can be a little taller to make room for environmental quality. Don't make the city like a cage. ”
What does Zhang Guotao want to defend.
Zhang Chun said with a smile: "The layout of the factory should be scientific, close to the production area of raw materials, and close to the transportation system. Minimize intermediate costs. So there is no harm in spreading the factory a little, only the benefits. Concentrating people in a small area and not giving them enough space to live is not for the good of the workers. We cannot sacrifice the interests of the workers for political gain. If so, what is the difference between us and the bourgeoisie? ”
Zhang Guotao stopped talking.
Zhang Guotao because of the difference in concepts. There were some conflicts with Liang Sicheng and researchers in urban planning, industrial and commercial allocation, etc.
Zhang Guotao believes that private cars should be developed, even if they are not used by themselves, they can be exported to other countries for use, so as to earn foreign exchange for the country and achieve a strong army and rich people. At the same time, it will transform the country into an industrialized country, develop and strengthen the working class, and realize the dictatorship of the proletariat.
But now Zhang Chun equates the act of depriving the workers of their land, living in smaller houses, living in smaller spaces and harsh conditions with the oppression of the common people by the bourgeoisie. This makes it difficult for Zhang Guotao to refute.
"Regarding the assertion of the means of production, Xinmin University has done a lot of research, and land, resources, species, air, water, etc. are the most basic and important means of production. The means of production necessary for scientific research in the use of the world are a very small part of the total means of production in relation to the necessities of life that are necessary for the people, and the military power that maintains the stability of the country and promotes our better understanding of the world and the use of the world's scientific research. However, some industries are very harmful to land, air and water, which will quickly consume resources and cause great extinction of species. Fundamentally, it is not to make the material extremely abundant, but to greatly reduce it. This is contrary to the theory of communism. ”
"But industry determines whether a country is strong or not." Mr. Zhang raised his concerns.
"I admit it, but industrial development cannot come at the expense and consumption of the environment. Industry must be matched with national defense and infrastructure, leaving a wartime surplus, but not too much. The fact that the working class has become the proletariat is the result of the oppression of the bourgeoisie, and we cannot artificially turn the working class into the proletariat. The working class has the right to own the means of production such as land on the same basis as all owners, and this is true communism. We need to look at the problem systematically. ”
"Pollution inevitably happens in industry."
"That's true, but you can't let the pollution go. On the one hand, the solution is to reduce pollution, and on the other hand, let our environment evolve and improve environmental tolerance. Moreover, you have to trust our students, they have already achieved a lot of success in tackling pollution, using industrial by-products, and with the development of technology, they will solve the relationship between industry and the environment. However, it is not difficult to make the greatest possible use of materials and feedback to the environment. ”
――――――――――
The interference of the Shaanxi Party Committee has been eliminated, and the transportation system planning, industrial layout and urban planning are on the right track.
Under the great demand for education and development, the contradiction between ethnicity and religion became a secondary contradiction, and Shaanxi's construction began to accelerate.
When Mao Shishan sent Zhang Chun out of the city, he asked: "Ethnicity and religion are a problem after all, do you really have no opinion?" ”
Zhang Chun said: "I suggest that you do not engage in any ethnic settlements, because all people are Chinese nationals, and they have the right to live freely, the right to choose their jobs freely, and the right to marry freely. Do not protect any ethnic group, but also do not discriminate against any ethnic group. For thousands of years, China has been the result of the integration of various ethnic groups, and what we need to do is to accelerate this integration. As for religion, to put it bluntly, it is a philosophical thought, and their saints are nothing in the long history of our country, and our sages and saints have gone more. The feudal society still knows that Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are one, is our wisdom so bad? Drown it with our vast history. It's as simple as that. ”
"Fusion?" Mao Shishan wanted to be sure again.
Zhang Chun nodded and said, "Dismantle and merge." Grasp the education of all, the children are in your hands, what are you afraid of? Unless you think that our civilization is backward. ”
Mao Shishan smiled. Stop talking.
The Loess Plateau, Luochuan, and the loess piled up in the ancient basin formed a huge plain, which used to be a rice-producing area, but now the soil is rapidly eroded and the fertility is rapidly declining. In order to make a living, the common people can only plant widely and harvest thinly, expand the cultivated area, and the original vegetation is all destroyed, and even the valleys that can be traced back to erosion and cutting, as well as large loess beams, have all opened up farmland on the loess ridges. In the extremely barren areas of the farmland, it has been abandoned and sparse grass grows. But the common people also raised sheep and continued to suppress environmental restoration. Wind and rain have accelerated the situation.
The current Luochuan Plateau presents such a situation.
In the early years of the Republic of China, there were constant wars and rapid population declines, but due to the great weakening of environmental resilience, vegetation recovery was slow. Only in the valley slopes does a certain amount of secondary forest grow. This has resulted in very large amounts of sediment in the tributaries of the Wei River, such as the Hulu River, the Jing River and the Beiluo River.
After Lu Zhonglin took the area north of Tongchuan. The working group took advantage of the construction of roads from Xi'an to Yan'an, Yulin, and Dongsheng, and reduced the cultivated area of the common people, especially in the valley areas, in the form of cash-for-work. However, the fast-growing tree species planted were not significantly effective in reducing land erosion by rainwater, and they overestimated the resilience of northern vegetation.
The forest belt of the transportation system was not established in a short period of time, but the survival capacity was extremely low. Although the digester played some role, the working group encountered great setbacks due to the fact that the microbial population of the digester cultivated in the south was not adapted to the north. And the most important thing is water. Precipitation is difficult to retain on the Loess Plateau, which makes the region water-scarce. Without water, it is more difficult for people to maintain biogas digesters.
The water department has proposed to build a pump house to solve the irrigation and water problems, but until the vegetation is restored, even irrigation will only accelerate soil erosion. It becomes an endless loop.
However, the students did not take the initiative to move the population to the Kham area of southern Shaanxi Province in a planned manner. It takes people to build roads, and it also takes people to maintain and develop the forests. At the same time, some land has been reclaimed in environmentally suitable places. The farming techniques and conditions there are not much different from those in Hubei, so they will only contribute to environmental evolution, not environmental degradation.
The valley area and the road network forest area also need people to maintain, but until there is no income, they will have to rely on Hubei to import grain to make a living.
Two years or three years are fine, but after a long time, it is a great consumption. (To be continued......)
