Chapter 63: The beginning of spring is very busy
Both China and Japan are preparing for this war, in different ways, but with the aim of achieving victory. In China, Yang Xiaolin really did not carry out any propaganda to lead the people to hatred of the Japanese side, and this was not because he believed that mobilization was not necessary to fight Japan.
At present, China is in a special period of social concept transformation, and the conflict of ideas is really very serious, and people of all ages have their own ideas about this society.
Chinese people of Yuan Shikai's age are really unaccustomed to the practices of some young people in society now, this is just a conflict between the traditional way of life and the new life, which has been in conflict for several years, and now this contradiction seems to have slowly found a balance, at least in Commander Yang's house, Yuan Shikai and his daughter no longer quarrel.
And with the new contradiction Yang Xiaolin's implementation of the martial spirit in the school, as those children accept this spirit day by day, there is a faint tendency to explode.
What is the martial spirit? It's not that the children are dragged to military training, learn to shoot and learn to fight, they have this spirit. The warriors who defend their homes and countries may be the hooligans who fight and brawl, and the government must guide them in this regard.
Yang Xiaolin not only taught the children to shoot, but also told the children where to aim the gun through different means such as movies, pictorials, and textbooks. Children are blank sheets of paper, very malleable, and they learn what you teach them.
The contradiction between the martial spirit and traditional Chinese culture is actually reflected in Zhao Mingyang's incomprehension of his father's behavior. Zhao Mingyang is now more and more active in school, although Yang Xiaolin has educated him once, but Yang Zong's education is obviously unsuccessful, this child still thinks that his own father rushed to the artillery fire of the Eight-Nation Alliance at that time is a very stupid behavior, and it can even be said that this is a cowardly evasion.
He couldn't understand his own father. People like the young master of the Zhao family, who grew up under the feudal education system since childhood, believe that the highest quality of a scholar is to study and cultivate his body and mind without doing anything, and repay the king when he dies.
And now these primary and secondary school students have only gone through a year of education. But their concepts are very different from these people, and the concepts instilled in them by Yang Xiaolin make them think that you should not only care about cultivating your body and mind when you are fine, and you should not die when you are in danger.
When parents ask their children why they want to study, they answer that it is to make China strong. You ask them who they admire the most, and they will tell you that it is Wei Qinghuo who is sick. In their immature hearts, Yang Xiaolin planted a seed to open up territory for the motherland. In China's first university entrance exam this year, a banner appeared in one of the examination rooms in Nanjing, written by the students themselves: "After graduating from high school, I am an adult, please blow the horn of the charge." I am always waiting for the convening of the state. ”
This is the mobilization mechanism established by Yang Xiaolin, and he believes that our mobilization should be long-term, not the kind of angry roar that the Chinese nation is forced to issue when it is at its most critical. These children have not grown up yet, and when they become the pillars of this society, Yang Xiaolin believes that all the countries in the world will tremble when they hear China's roar.
He really hopes that China will have ten years of peace, and our nation really needs a respite.
This period of peace really gave us life, and when the Russians were driven out, there was almost no heavy industry on our land, especially in the north. It has been ravaged by war and reduced to rubble. The Chinese have created miracles on this ruin, we started from scratch, step by step, at least now the Chinese people no longer have to worry about eating and drinking.
By issuing government bonds, accepting loans from other countries, and actively seeking aid, China has attracted a large amount of international capital. We used the money to complete China's agrarian reform. This peacekeeping operation has also brought China's traditional agricultural channels to the processing of agricultural and sideline products. The era of diversification of product distribution channels has begun, and at this time a new type of business has suddenly emerged in many parts of China, collective farms.
The farm was not formed by the government, but by the peasants themselves. A few of them. Some dozens of peasant households operate in a unified manner, buy those agricultural machinery to cultivate, and sell the products in a unified manner. Maximizing one's own interests.
Yang Xiaolin was really surprised by the emergence of this model, and he swore that he had never thought of engaging in agricultural pots, but now the people have done it themselves. Collective farms appeared only in certain places, and there were people in the government who said that this model should be promoted, and that it was not conducive to the long-term development of agriculture. Even the central government has been arguing over this matter endlessly, and has not yet come up with a specific solution.
As the new year approaches, the central authorities have adopted two documents that they intend to issue after the new year, the first of which stipulates the number of government workers, that is, the number of personnel in the public sector.
The concept of Chinese is really different from that of the West, and the concept of Westerners is that they are comfortable and prominent in front of others, which is a sign of success. But for the Chinese, how much money you earn is of little use, the sign of Chinese success is to be an official, you become an official you have a social status, in order to be regarded as a glorious ancestor.
For example, in those factories, if someone's child comes back from school and is recruited to work in the government, his waist will suddenly thicken, and even the boss will look at him a few more times.
This is really not because Yang Xiaolin pays high salaries to government personnel, but the Chinese have this concept, thousands of years, and it really can't be changed. This concept is destined for many people to find ways to drill into the government. The number of registered personnel in the newly established government of New China was 2 million, and now it has risen to 5 million! What is the concept of five million? No one's salary of thirteen oceans a month, more than 60 million oceans a month, 600 million a year, or 300 million pounds.
If this momentum continues, something big will happen, and you must know that for a country, the public sector sits on the shoulders of taxpayers, and if our public sector is too large, then our pace of economic development will definitely not be able to run.
The central government is about to stop all government recruitment! Stop it all, don't stress to me about any difficulties, you don't have enough manpower, you can't work overtime, you can apply, and after the approval of the superiors, a taxpayers' meeting will be held, and the taxpayers agree to pay for it, and you can hire temporary workers. In short, whatever your reason. Can't get in anymore.
Another bill is the "Specific Measures to Encourage the Development of Industrial and Agricultural Science and Technology Research" proposed by Sheng Huaixuan and Liang Qichao in June this year.
Under this measure, the government will allocate special funds, such as the Power Research Institute and the Northwest Industrial Science and Technology Center, to transform China's industrial and agricultural products from processing to technology.
The government will pay attention to some basic scientific research work and directly invest funds, and the first batch of research areas announced to receive government support mainly include precision machinery, pharmaceuticals, agricultural products, and the maritime industry. The government will take the lead in connecting these industries with the research institutes of universities, and once the scientific research results are recognized by the state, they will receive financial assistance immediately.
After the successful test of the project, it will be turned into commercial interests, and the researchers will not only receive the rewards given by the state, but also have the right to share the commercial benefits brought by the results to the enterprise.
As long as the plan is passed. For enterprises, it means that there is a guarantee of continuous updating of technology, and it also means that the fate of China's intellectuals and poor scholars will be completely changed, as long as you have the ability to develop a project, your project can bring very intuitive benefits to the country and enterprises, you can sit at home and collect money. This is respect for knowledge, but also respect for scholars.
At the same time, it is also a signal to ask China's intellectuals to transform, stop sitting at home and read the books of sages, come out to understand the market, understand what this society needs you to do.
Other than that. In terms of social welfare, China is also planning to do so. At present, China's current social security system can be said to be non-existent, and the investment in public welfare facilities is also quite small, and the Chinese people are very tolerant. has not called Yang Xiaolin anything, but this does not mean that Yang Xiaolin can do nothing.
China is about to establish its first public welfare project in the country, not a hospital or a nursing home. It's the library! In January next year, more than 6,000 free libraries will be opened in various parts of the country. This is only the first batch, according to Yang Xiaolin's plan, if the economic situation next year allows. The scale will continue to grow.
Maybe many people don't understand this, it's really important to read books when there is no guarantee for medical treatment? This can't be put together at all, medicine is to cure people, and books are to govern the country. There are many famous quotes that can be used to prove the importance of the book, but those big truths are not interesting.
Let's talk about the country of Israel. I don't think anyone can deny the miracles, many miracles that the country of Israel has created. The Jews deserve our respect most for their quality of learning, lifelong learning, and constant pursuit.
According to a statistic that I forgot where it was made, Israel reads 57 books per capita every year, ranking first in the world. I don't know how credible this data is, but I heard from a friend that if you've been to Israel, you'll see people waiting for the bus, and the empty clerk is not holding a large-screen mobile phone, but a newspaper or a book. There are a lot of kiosks on the streets of Israel, and most of them are free. The seats in the library are like the Internet café bars we have here, and sometimes you have to wait for a seat.
Well, let's not talk about the miracles of Israel, that thing is too mysterious, too far away for us ordinary people, in terms of specifics and details, Israel is surrounded by enemies on all sides, according to the traditional concept, the social order in a country that is shrouded by war at any time will not be good, but the incidence of criminal cases in Israel is quite low.
This is the advantage of reading books, if a person can read 50 books a year, please believe that he is not a hooligan, even a hooligan is a literate hooligan, and he will not do anything to cut people with a knife.
Also, in the days when there was no Sohu and Baidu, the library was the place where you could consult materials, and books and newspapers were actually platforms and tools for the ruling class to promote themselves. If you want to promote any ideas, let the bookstore put whatever books you want. Yang Xiaolin knew that not many people would go to see it at first when he opened a library, but he believed that this path was the right one.
There are really a lot of things to do, and if he can, Commander Yang really wants not to fight in ten years, but the development of the country is like the fate of life, and it is impossible to achieve everything he wants. There are too many resources in Siberia, and if the Japanese are allowed to gain a foothold in Eastern Siberia, little Japan will be very strong in a few years. (To be continued......)
