Although it took the Baath Party three years to concentrate the 30 or 40 million people in the areas around the three north-south communication routes, compared with the 1.4 billion people in later generations, North China, with a population of less than 100 million, was still in a situation of few people and many lands.

The most direct proof of this is that in order to preserve the environment in northern Shaanxi, the Baath Party concentrated one-third of the population of the entire Shaanxi region in the Hanzhong Plain, and the other two-thirds of the population was diverted to state farms in the Nenjiang Plain, Songhua River Plain, and Liaohe Plain in the northeast along with the epatriated population from Hebei, Henan, and Shandong.

Without pressure, there is no motivation. Lin Yuze felt that the central government was putting pressure on the local government, and in fact, the ordinary people also felt that the old men of the Baath Party were good to them, but they were too strict and too ruthless.

With the exception of the adult population that each family had to send to live in other places, almost all minor offenses were punishable by exile. stole a bud from the farm, touched the buttocks of Widow Zhang of the same commune, got into a fight with Liu Ergou, failed to meet the standards during military training, and all kinds of minor violations would attract the punishment of the whole family being relocated to other places.

Of these, the one who has sinned is not the worst.

In order to complete industrialization quickly, the Baath Party had a huge demand for labor. Those blind streamers who used to make a living by walking the streets and alleys with all kinds of clever crafts will be sent to the new district by the Baath Party for anti-labor crimes and become targets of labor reform. Those who had been accustomed to begging on the streets for a living, as soon as they showed a tendency to work in communes or farm factories for a living, and if they committed the slightest laziness, they would be immediately arrested by the militia and sent either to labor camps or to northern Shaanxi to plant trees.

In the words of many people who like to say strange things, "The new dynasty is really in charge of the sky, the earth, and the air in the middle." It's okay to take care of everyone's shit and fart. ”

Nor can this be said to be wrong. In many farms established under the auspices of the Production and Construction Corps, the production and construction troops used relatively crude means to manage everyone's personal hygiene. Once things like not washing your hands before eating or not washing your hands after going to the toilet are discovered, the beating of military sticks and confinement are still light, and it is likely that you will be charged with anti-health regulations and end up being dispensed.

Using military means to manage and educate the law-abiding masses and using the method of reform-through labor to help the law-abiding masses change their minds, Chen Feng even believes that this is the only way to achieve rapid transformation of the masses at the present stage.

Wang Shuhui didn't like this method at first, and in his opinion, this kind of brutal method reflected the incompetence of a ruler. But after he went to the grassroots a few more times, he also had to admit that sometimes it was indeed this kind of brutal method that was more effective, more effective, and more efficient.

The masses of the people who were originally in the agricultural era were not adapted to industrial life, and there was no solution to this problem. Advancing China's industrialization process by more than 300 years, Wang Shuhui's least favorite phrase of "labor pains" turned out to be his only explanation.

For example, he found that the farm is better, under the harsh system and rules, under the clear material stimulation, the farm workers yearn for better living conditions, and they will work harder to get higher bonuses and more dividends. However, in those people's communes where agricultural conditions were not good and the organization and discipline were relatively poor, with the full popularization of high-yield crops and chemical fertilizers and pesticides by the Baath Party, the "lazy people" and "idle men" in the communes began to emerge one after another.

Wang Shuhui also knew that because most of the cadres of the commune were post-graduates at the grass-roots level, they lacked administrative practice and were relatively not high in terms of means and level, but the situation of the masses of the people being safe and well-fed and unthinking of making progress after they had enough to eat and clothe themselves was also very serious.

To take the simplest example, this is the case in several communes around the Xinjing Special Economic Zone. After being allocated land, farmers have grown high-yielding crops and used chemical fertilizers and pesticides to reap bumper harvests year after year. In such an environment, let them participate in the commune cultural school, let them learn cultural knowledge, let them participate in military training and receive militia training, they actually began to become lazy and slack, and even passively resisted.

On the one hand, these peasants, who had had food and lived a good life, did not seek any progress, and on the other hand, they beat their wives, broke their shoes, gathered people to gamble, and even formed gangs to run rampant in the villages.

Zhang Zhaohuan, deputy director of the General Office of the Central Committee and director of Wang Shuhui's office, who was conducting research with Wang Shuhui at that time, said to Wang Shuhui,

"In the countryside, the masses can't be allowed to be too idle. When life is relaxed, the peasants' laziness, gambling, and flowery heart diseases will attack. Going down is a congenital defect of people, and only through physical exercise and mental transformation can people make passive progress. ”

If these words had come out of Zhang Zhaohuan's mouth before, Wang Shuhui would probably be angry. However, after Wang Shuhui saw the actual situation and thought of Zhang Zhaohuan's achievements in serving in the grassroots commune for three years and turning a backward commune into an advanced commune, Wang Shuhui had to admit that the work of transforming the masses of the people was not strict enough, ruthless enough, comprehensive and profound enough.

I've heard of the **** of full warm thoughts, but I haven't heard of full warm thoughts learning. Mr. Kong Er was in the alternating era of slave society and feudal society, and he also said, "It's hard to eat all day long, and you have nothing to do!" With these words, it can be seen that laziness, an evil in human nature, has existed for a long time.

It is against human nature to want to transform a person who wants to go down after eating a full stomach, wearing warm clothes, and living a good life into a person who wants to learn and progress as soon as he relaxes.

But as a materialist, Wang Shuhui believes that human nature is never an excuse. Eating raw meat and eating dirt is an atavistic phenomenon based on human nature, but is it correct to say that this atavism based on human nature is correct?

Human beings themselves are constantly transforming themselves through labor, so as to achieve the progress of human beings themselves. If human nature is always used as an excuse, I am afraid that human beings will have been extinct in the competition of species evolution in the process of adhering to the ancient habit of drinking blood.

Therefore, when Wang Shuhui returned to the Xinjing Special Economic Zone after inspecting the situation at the grassroots level, he implemented the policy of rewarding diligence and punishing laziness throughout the country, and made progress in transforming the masses and promoting the progress of the masses.

The Baath Party should propagate and establish the diligent, motivated, conscientious, and aspiring people, and reward them in a comprehensive way in terms of spirit and material, so that they can make more progress and work harder. Those who are lazy, backward, and have enough food and clothing, and those backward elements who are satisfied with being full and two down, and taking a bath once a week, must be punished and reformed.

The Baath Party itself demands progress, and at the same time, the masses of the people throughout China must make progress together with the Baath Party.

You say that you want to live a relaxed and happy life, and this is not impossible. Wait until you're sixty-five years old and completely incapacitated.

In New China, men and women, young and old, must work, train, and learn cultural knowledge, and constantly transform and develop themselves.

From this point of view, although the Baath Party has indeed brought a new life to the masses, living under the rule of the Ba'ath Party does not necessarily have the same happy life as it did in the feudal society of the past.

In the feudal society, it is true that the landlords and old tycoons exploited and oppressed the masses very cruelly, but the landlords and old tycoons would not strictly manage all the people's affairs like the Ba'ath Party.

For example, the people's own children, the people themselves do not have the right to custody and education.

Although the Baath Party has granted education and support subsidies to every family, it has legally bought out the people's right to custody and education of their children. This kind of behavior of forcibly taking away other people's children is a good thing when parents can't eat enough, but when everyone lives a new life with the ability to raise their own children, this practice seems a bit cruel.

Another example is the case of forced separation. Originally, when the common people had no ability to earn a living, a large family was a huge burden on the family, and the Baath Party's practice of dividing the big family into a small family of two people relieved the pressure on the common people to survive at that time. However, when the lives of the common people are better, this practice of forcibly dividing the family and dividing a large family into small families living and working in different regions has become a practice that the common people criticize.

But then again, these two policies, which are most criticized by the new Chinese masses at present, are the means by which the Baath Party completely destroys and eliminates feudalism from the most fundamental point.

After the Baath Party established a comprehensive education system from nurseries to kindergartens, from kindergartens to the Cadet Army, and from the Cadet Army to colleges and universities, all newborns in New China have become an industrial population in the full sense of the word that has been fully educated and trained by modern culture.

And from a realistic point of view, no matter how much parents have a deep love for their children, can parents compare with professional and long-term trained childcare personnel? Can parents take care of the health of their babies and toddlers as comprehensively as medical professionals? Do parents have enough culture and knowledge to educate their teens? The answer is no.

To a certain extent, Wang Shuhui's practice is certainly influenced by his psychological shadow as an orphan, but such policies and systems are indeed a means of cultivating modern talents who can develop and progress in an all-round way in the true sense.

Not to mention anything else, at the present stage, both the young people who came out of the Xishan base and the young people who came out of the national education system in the Hubei base area are now becoming the backbone of the Baath Party in an all-round way.

Not to mention that they are better and more advanced than their parents, even compared with the disciples who Wang Shuhui cultivated in his early years who studied while practicing, in addition to being a little lacking in practical experience, they have also improved much more than them in all aspects.

At least in the field of scientific research, in the field of technology, in the field of economy, in the military field, they have shown themselves very impressive, and even a little jealous.

Don't talk about others, let's talk about Zhang Zhaohuan. He is one of the newcomers who Wang Shuhui has been promoted from among the young people who have completed the grassroots training to enrich various departments of the central government after the rectification.

Lin Yuze has always believed that the reason why some old people are dissatisfied with young people is not mainly because young people do not do their jobs well. The psychology of jealousy and jealousy due to one's own lack of ability may have played a big role.

Lin Yuze has always been very fond of young people in the army and at the grassroots level who came from the formal education system. Compared with those party members who are relatively old and have older qualifications, these young people do not have so many problems. Whatever work is given to them, they do what they do, their attitude is very peaceful, their attitude is very pure.

For Lin Yuze, he likes this kind of subordinate who is unwilling to talk about crooked reasoning and unwilling to pull relationships, but works hard to solve specific problems and carry out specific work.

Who can do a good job right away? Of course, there are some very talented people among the old comrades, but there are also many bastards among the old comrades who don't know how to open up. Although young people have such and such shortcomings when they first start to join the workforce, they have received a systematic and comprehensive education, and they are very quick to get started with the work, and their overall quality is high at the same time, and their level is also very average.

For leading cadres, geniuses are not necessary, but those young people who have a relatively high overall quality, a relatively average level, and a relatively pure attitude towards work are what he likes.

Therefore, Lin Yuze is different from some old qualifications in the party, and he doesn't think there is any problem with Mr. Wang promoting young people to important positions. He also likes young people who have a simple background and don't have any nonsense and excuses.

Unlike those old comrades who like to blow their beards and stare at their eyes in front of young people to show their seniority, Lin Yuze still talked to him when he saw the young Zhang Zhaohuan, encouraged him a few words, and then talked to Wang Shuhui.

I haven't seen my mentor for more than three years, and Zhang Zhaohuan is still very concerned about Wang Shuhui. Seeing Wang Shuhui's young face that never seemed to change, it was nothing, but when he saw Wang Shuhui's completely white hair, Zhang Zhaohuan remembered Fan Weiming's words, and felt the teacher's hard work, and his eyes were a little moist.

Wang Shuhui is still the same. Seeing Lin Yuze, who was emotionally leaking, he coughed and said to him:

"Don't stand there, sit down and talk!"

Seeing that Lin Yuze's emotions had calmed down, Wang Shuhui began to say to him:

"The situation on Chahar's side should have been introduced to you organizationally. After several years of contact, all the Mongol tribes and Dolgon knew that we were not easy to provoke and that we would not be able to defeat us in a war, so they showed a posture of submission. There are many people who even sent their sons to Xinjing as hostages. ”

"They don't understand the situation and think that our Ba'ath Party is a feudal court. The reason why we have to deal with them is nothing else, that is, the need for the population, the need for resources, the need for the grassland, the means of production. ”

"Fan Weiming should have talked to you. We can't use the metal minerals in the steppe area yet, but the cattle, sheep and horses in the Mongolian steppe are what we need very much at this stage. ”

"The country has now stabilized, and the people's lives have reached food and clothing, but the needs of the people are also higher."

"The people not only need to eat food, but also need meat supplements. It's not enough to just eat chicken and duck, everyone wants to eat beef and mutton. Therefore, when you arrive in the Chahar region, you will have to focus on two things, one is to constantly attack the ambitious steppe tribes militarily, and the other is to transform the captured herdsmen into ordinary laborers. ”

"The Animal Husbandry Bureau will work with you in the Chahar region this time. In the promotion of high-quality breeds, especially the promotion of fine wool sheep and all kinds of beef cattle and dairy cows, you must be careful. ”

"With a large number of fine wool sheep, our wool textile industry has come up, which is to solve the people's higher requirements for wearing. With a large amount of beef and mutton, our meat processing industry has come up, which is to solve the higher requirements of the people for food.

"The masses of the people want to eat better and dress better, and this problem must be solved through the prairie. So your work is important. ”

Lin Yuze listened to Wang Shuhui's words and nodded seriously.

Life in the world, food and clothing. No one dares to say that food and clothing are not important.
