The target plane, Yan'an, Shaanxi Province, Yanhuang Continent, small hall of the Central Secretariat of Zaoyuan. Wang Fan is discussing recent issues with a group of senior Red Party officials.
"Wang Fan, are you too anxious to propose to start rural modernization now?" Liu Shaoqi, who was sitting in a chair, asked.
"Uncle Liu, I have thought about this issue carefully, now there are more than 20 million refugees pouring into our Shanxi and Shaanxi territories, although we can counterattack in two months at the latest, and then recover Henan, Hebei and other North China regions, and then we can transport them back to their respective hometowns. But after all, there has been an influx of so many people all at once, if we only solve the problem of their food and housing, but everyone has nothing to do, I am afraid that it will be easy to cause problems and breed troubles, such as the lack of a chicken or the lack of half a tile in the resettlement village, which will provoke the contradiction between the local population and the non-local population. Wang Fan pondered the sentence and slowly explained: "Now we plan to expand the army, so that it is estimated that 150~2 million people can be digested, and all kinds of newly established factories can digest 200~3 million people, so at least 15 million people are left with nothing to do." In addition, many people have been farming all their lives, and they are not very literate, and if they want to change to the working class, I am afraid that it will not be possible to train without spending a considerable period of time, and besides, we do not have enough teachers now, and there is no place to find so many workers and masters to teach! ”
"But what does this have to do with your eagerness to carry out rural modernization, I don't understand, just looking for something for them to do, will it be easy to provoke greater contradictions?" Liu Shaoqi didn't understand Wang Fan's words, and besides, this was a big matter that affected the lives of tens of millions of Yanhuang people, and he couldn't tolerate any sloppiness, so he continued to ask.
"What I mean by this is that making full use of the more than 15 million labor force to carry out rural modernization in Shaanxi and part of Shanxi (close to the Shaanxi region, far away from the war zone), on the one hand, can allow everyone to find something to do and have a place to vent their energy; On the other hand, we can also use the transformation of the countryside to let the people of Yanhuang who have fled to see the empirical evidence with their own eyes, so that everyone can personally experience what the transformed new socialist countryside will be like and what life will be like under the rule of the Red Party in the future. This is more convincing than just talking about what kind of society we want to build in the future. In the future, once they return to their hometowns, they will be more motivated to support the Red Party. After all, once we counterattack Hebei, Henan and other places, we will also carry out similar modern rural reconstruction. Most importantly, I did this in order to eliminate a hidden danger that arose after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Wang Fan patiently explained.
"What's the hidden danger?" When Lao Mao heard Wang Fan mention the word hidden danger, he couldn't help but feel nervous, and hurriedly asked.
"In this way, in the history of our main plane, although the Red Party finally relied on the peasants and took the countryside as its base to gain the world, since 1949, when our party began to enter the cities on a large scale, the focus of our party's work has shifted from the countryside to the cities, and most of the cadres who have grown up from the peasant class have also moved to the cities. After a series of assistance from the Soviet Union and our self-reliance, the living standards of the workers and cadres in the cities were greatly improved, but the peasants in the villages were still living in poverty. Wang Fan said in a more tactful tone.
"Is there such a thing?" When Lao Mao heard this, he frowned and asked.
Domestically, on the one hand, the overall level of China's productive forces was relatively low, and it was difficult to produce sufficient commodities to meet the needs of 450 million people, and on the other hand, our capital wealth accumulation was insufficient, so we had no choice but to use the method of "scissors difference" to artificially lower the purchase price of agricultural products and raise the price of manufactured products, so as to complete the primitive accumulation of the whole society of the country's industrialization. But the direct result of this is that the peasants work hard for a year, and the best result is to be able to get enough food and clothing. In terms of the foreign environment, when the Korean War officially started in 1950, for the sake of national defense needs and national security, many resources had to be invested in the military field that only consumed but did not output, resulting in partial blood loss in the field of people's livelihood and industry. All these reasons have taken together to cause the overall living standards of the grassroots peasants after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and there has been no obvious improvement or change in the past few years or even ten years! Wang Fan patiently explained.
"So you mean to start now, step by step, to transform rural infrastructure and improve rural living standards!" Liu Shaoqi answered.
"Yes, on the one hand, we can build while counterattacking, and the area that has just been rebuilt is not large and easier to control, and it is easy to sum up experience. In the future, with the expansion of the base areas, and the spread of the old and the new, if everything goes well, by the time the counteroffensive and the establishment of a new political power throughout the country, the living standards of most of our rural areas should be raised, and there will be no phenomenon of a large number of peasants wishing to move to the cities. At that time, the state will concentrate its efforts on building major cities, so as to improve the overall national strength and the living standards of workers and other groups in the cities. Wang Fan replied.
"Then what do you plan to do, you should have a draft, right?" Zhou Eni, who is in charge of internal affairs, asked.
"The general direction has been, basically the first to dig wells, repair roads, carry out dilapidated house renovation, then establish a pumping station, lay a pipe network, electricity and water, and finally establish a clean and hygienic public toilet system, less than 1,500 people in small villages for natural biological treatment, that is, discharge into small rivers and streams, more populated villages to establish later septic tanks and oxidation tank systems, and then cooperate with the necessary facilities to form organic fertilizer and reclaimed water, by the way, this reclaimed water refers to the water standard that can not be drunk but can be used to irrigate the land. At the same time, it is planned to reserve enough space for the establishment of village kindergartens, nursing homes, libraries, gyms, and office spaces of the village committee in the future. In the future, if conditions permit, the village will implement garbage classification, separate the recyclable and non-recyclable, and the government will intervene in the management to form a garbage disposal method of "group cleaning, village collection, town transfer, and county treatment". Wang Fan saw that several bigwigs had already been somewhat explained, so he said the draft that he had discussed with Yadea.
"Wang Fan, don't talk about anything else, how to solve the problem of electrification, now the generators you bring can only use electricity on a small scale, thousands of tens of thousands of villages, are they equipped with generators, that is neither economical nor practical, after all, these are to burn gasoline!" Lao Mao attaches great importance to rural life and asks his own questions.
"The construction of power generation facilities and the main grid will be handed over to me (nuclear fusion generators, special equipment to build a high-voltage transmission network), please uncles and uncles, organize manpower to solve the last mile of transmission facilities, these things will be transferred to the state in the same way as railway construction equipment." Wang Fan said.
"I know that you must have the right equipment in your hands, so there are no details in road repair and dilapidated house renovation, I think that since there are conditions to realize the new socialist countryside 60 years ahead of schedule, then try to do it in one step, don't be unable to keep up with the demand and the times after more than ten years, and then renovate and expand, which is a huge waste of wealth!" Zhou Eni interjected.
"Yes, I have a simplified version of the drawings of the specific houses, most of them are two-storey, a small number of the highest three-story houses, ordinary people can quickly learn to build houses, and secondly, I am ready to build the stone of the house (Wang Fan went to the Tarim Basin desert, took away a large amount of sand and Gobi gravel, and mixed cement with equipment designed and manufactured by Yadea, so as to make a large number of environmentally friendly building materials), so that there is no need to destroy the cultivated land and burn adobe bricks." Wang Fan paused for a moment, and then replied, "As for the area and other parameters, I want to apply the standards of the later generations, after all, the main plane can withstand more than 1.3 billion people, and we should have no problem with the population of less than 500 million now." ”
"What is the standard of the Hereafter?" Lao Mao asked.
"The main road of the village road is 4~6 meters, the secondary road is 2.5~3 meters, the road is planned to be made of cement or asphalt, and the spacing of the street lights next to the village road is 30~40 meters. In my plan, the size of each house is: no more than 150 square meters for three people or less, no more than 200 square meters for four people, no more than 250 square meters for five people and above, as much as possible, but in the mountainous areas where land is scarce in the village, you can try to build a three-story apartment house, the top house, and the middle and lower floors are equipped with corresponding ancillary buildings such as agricultural machinery and crop storage rooms, processing rooms, poultry breeding, etc. Wang Fan replied, "Finally, because Shaanxi is already short of water, I want to try to promote the proven and reliable sprinkler and drip irrigation methods in the countryside to replace the inefficient and wasteful flood irrigation method." ”
"Hehe, okay, if all these things are realized, maybe we old guys will be able to see socialism enter an advanced stage when we close our eyes!" Lao Mao imagined the life scene that Wang Fan had just sketched in his mind, and couldn't help laughing and said.
"It's easier said than done, and you need to think hard about it, analyze the tasks one by one, establish priorities, and assign corresponding tasks and personnel to actually carry out the work!" Wang Fan was a little embarrassed that he could only talk about the general direction and not be able to actually operate, and reminded.
"Haha, there are a lot of people who can help, we can't enough and continue to add fresh blood, this kind of real knife, down-to-earth construction feeling will make many people fascinated and fully devoted, rest assured!" Liu Shaoqi said happily.
For a while, the atmosphere in the room was stimulated by the vision drawn by Wang Fan, and everyone was excited to see the great rejuvenation of their country with their own eyes in the future.
At the same time as Wang Fan and the others were discussing, Kong Fansheng, a teacher in Beiping who had just gotten off the bus, and his wife, Zhang, were sitting in the open cargo hold of a military transport truck, driving along the criss-crossing country dirt roads toward the depths of the mountains.
At around 7 p.m., after more than two hours of bumpy mountain roads, the military transport truck finally stopped.
"Get to the place, get off, get off!" The Yanhuanghong soldier who came out of the cab shouted to the crowd in the open cargo hold.
"Where is this?" Holding the edge of the car, Kong Fansheng, who turned over and jumped out of the car, couldn't help asking.
"The Affiliated Institute of Northwest Normal University, you will receive a month of training and political review here, so as to determine where you will go in the future." A staff member standing not far from the front of the car stepped forward just in time to hear Kong Fansheng's question and replied.
"Hello, I have family, it's okay, right?" Kong Fansheng saw that the other party should be the leader of this place, and asked.
"Yes, we allow family members to live together here, okay, let me introduce myself, my name is Mo Yan, I am one of the supervisors here, now please line up and follow me in." I need to explain to you first, in order to ensure that our base area is not damaged by enemy spies, we are not allowed to leave the school during the month of study and political examination, if you don't want to, you can bring it up now, we will give him a gift out of Shaanxi, if you want to leave, please raise your hand! Mo Yan asked.
Perhaps it was fear that this was a ploy by the Red Party to deceive and those who wished to take the bait, and not a single person in the group of hundreds raised his hand.
"Okay, in that case, then everyone will follow me in!" Mo Yan didn't feel embarrassed when he saw that no one raised his hand, and led the team through the gate where soldiers were standing guard and entered the campus of the Affiliated College of Northwest Normal University.
Kong Fansheng walked and looked at the whole campus, the sky was already dark, and the moonlight was faintly sprinkled, but to his surprise, this was a brightly lit campus. Blazing white street lamps sit on either side of the straight road, and their soft white light reveals the general outline of the campus.
The first thing you see after entering the school gate is a three-storey rectangular brick and stone building, with a plaque hanging above the door of the building, with three large characters on the office building, and the font is written vigorously and powerfully, which is obviously from the hand of a calligrapher with a small skill. Not far from the inside is a large stone carving, the center of the boulder is written with two big words "seeking truth", I don't know whether it is the school motto of this school or corresponding to the political examination just mentioned, there is a small garden surrounded by flower beds next to the stone carving, the area is not large, but there are a few wooden benches placed in a scattered manner, from a distance to see a comfortable and leisurely atmosphere comes out, now there are many people sitting on the benches, chatting while reading and learning with the help of the bright street lamp on the side of the chair.
"They arrived a few days before you, and now they're looking at domestic and foreign books borrowed from the library in their chairs!" Mo Yan introduced as he walked.
"There's a library here? I don't know what the collection is? Kong Fansheng himself is half a bookworm, and when he suddenly heard that there were books that he had not heard of for many years during the war, he couldn't bear it, and couldn't help but relax his tense nerves and asked loudly.
"Hehe, don't worry, there are hundreds of thousands of books in the collection (provided by Wang Fan, screened by Yadea, to ensure that there is no information leakage), although some are of the same batch and the same content, but there are still tens of thousands of kinds in total. There are domestic countries such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin", and "Dream of Red Mansions", as well as foreign countries such as "Les Miserables", "Decameron", and "Pride and Prejudice". Mo Yan said as he walked, and the introduction was very detailed.
Fifteen minutes later, after registering his name, place of origin, age and other information at the registration office, taking two more forms to fill in his personal experience, and having dinner in the school cafeteria, Kong Fansheng and his wife Zhang found their temporary residence according to the "B 2016" information on the key they received: a small unit on the second floor of a color steel house.
After opening the door and entering the house, according to the instructions of the registration officer, there is an electric door switch on the left side of the door, and after clicking, under the illumination of the white energy-saving light bulb, the general furnishings in the house are presented in front of the eyes of the two people:
A set of bunk iron bed drawers, a glass window, a small desk, a wooden chair, and a simple iron-framed wardrobe with a zipper.
"Shuhua, you see, there are basins and towels under the bed, as well as soap (actually transparent soap)!" Zhang was very excited to rummage through here, touch there, and said: "This is also a glass window, and the sunlight shines in during the day, which should be very comfortable!" ”
"Yes!" Kong Fansheng nodded in agreement, at this time his eyes were fixed on the desk, there was a pen holder on it, two pens were placed in it, next to it was a bottle of blue-black ink, and in the middle of the entire desk was a beautiful notepad, black leather wrapped in the outer cover, which looked very solemn and beautiful.
"Shuhua, is this life under the rule of the Shaanxi Red Party? If that's the case, let's just come here sooner. Thinking of the ups and downs of the past year, Zhang's eyes were red and he sighed.
"Yes~~~" Kong Fansheng thought that they were still in the smoke of war yesterday, but today they came to the northwest far away from the war, living in a private room with electric lights and glass, and there is a large library with more than 100,000 books not far away.
