Volume E Chapter 28 No
When Yu Zixun was worried about Yang Rui, Yang Rui and a few people in the room persuaded Zhang Taiyan, after all, he shouldn't be angry first, and poured tea in front of everyone, which is really against unity.
"Actually, this Yu Heqin was bewitched by the Americans, what to say about protecting private property, now the vast majority of people have no money, whose private property is he protecting is protecting private property, isn't it protecting the private property of those gentry who only collect rent and lend money? Now the state wants money, and if it doesn't ask for it from the gentry, where can it be asked from? The future of the nation-state, the livelihood of the people of Dawn, was buried by him to protect his private property. What is a thief, this is a thief! After Yu Zixun left, Zhang Taiyan was still angry, and he did not call Yu Zixun a word, but called him Yu and Qin's names.
"Uncle Mei, Zixun is also for the long-term peace and stability of the country in the future. If private property is not protected now, even if the country is rich and strong, the people will still be in danger. Dynasties and dynasties, how are the officials, how are the officials, you don't know? Seeing that Zhang Taiyan was still going crazy, Wang Jitong had to say what he thought.
"Uncle Mei, there's nothing wrong with Zixun, he just thinks about it for the long term." Yang Rui said lightly on the side, "There is a trade-off between the country and the people. The current land reform plan has also nominally protected private property, leaving a curtain for the gentry not to be pierced, so that it is enough. There's no need to argue about this anymore. β
"Uncle Mei, if you have an opinion, you can say it well, why do you want to do this? You're in your forties, how can you still have the temper of a young man? "Xu Huafeng is the oldest member of the Standing Committee, and he is fifty-three years old. Zhang Taiyan, Zhong Guanguan, and Xie Jintai are of the same age, all in their early forties, and Yang Rui and Wang Ji are similar. He was thirty-six years old, and Yu Zixun was the youngest, only in his early thirties. Because Xu Huafeng was pulled in by Yang Rui halfway, and he is a good person, he is generally respected as the chief in the committee. What he said was the same as what Yang Rui said, and Zhang Taiyan still listened.
Yang Rui and Xu Huafeng both spoke, and Zhang Taiyan vented his temper. But he still said reluctantly: "I admit that I shouldn't be angry, and tomorrow I will apologize like Zixun, but shouldn't he think about what he did?" The state does not exist. Will the people be attached? If he really cares about democracy and freedom, he can go to Hong Kong, not to mention going to the United States, and even to the concession. It's all propaganda for the protection of private property. As long as the tax is paid. You can be a second-class person......"
Seeing that Zhang Taiyan's anger still hadn't subsided, Yang Rui couldn't help but call him heavily, "Uncle Mei!" β
As soon as Yang Rui said this, Zhang Taiyan stopped and fanned out boringly. Yang Rui said again: "It's almost time to eat, that's all for today, let's discuss it tomorrow." Xiao Xu stays for a moment, I have other things to tell you here. β
Even if it's a committee member. It also follows the principles of the Revival Society, and everyone eats boxed lunches. One meat, one vegetable, one soup and one rice. One is to finish eating, and the other is to wash the dishes. Of course, it's okay not to wash it, the bowl is personal, not too dirty, and you can continue to eat it next time. Seeing that Yang Rui said that there was something else, everyone else went out, and only Yang Rui and Wang Jitong were left in the house.
"Xiao Xu, in the second half of the year, the third congress will be held. When the committee is re-elected, I think there will be a replacement in the Standing Committee. Yang Rui and the others walked away, and then lit a cigarette and said softly.
The members of the Standing Committee are held every five years, and the Standing Committee members are also held every five years. The first Standing Committee was elected when the Revival Society was founded, and the first congress in '06 was actually the second congress when the second congress elected the second member and standing committee. However, because of Cai Yuanpei's reckless actions, many members of the committee were killed or defected under the suppression of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Cai Yuanpei himself was imprisoned, so the second congress urgently held in the second half of the year was actually the third congress to co-opt members and standing committee members. It has been five years since 06, and the third congress of the Revival Society should have been held now, but it was about to be postponed until the end of the year. This third congress is actually the power distribution meeting of the Revival Association after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it is impossible for Yang Rui, the president, to change, but the members inside must change, some people want to go in, and some people naturally want to come out.
"What Zixun said is not unreasonable." Wang Ji said that he had long thought that Yang Rui would not let Yu Zixun become a member of the Standing Committee anymore, or that when those management trainees arrived in the United States, Yang Rui would not need Yu Zixun to master the industry there. Now Yang Rui will talk to him, that is, he has not been out of this round of power distribution, but he doesn't want this result. "Yes, I understand that newcomers still have to come in, otherwise the people below will have opinions. It's just that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, I want to go out to study, so don't be my number in the Standing Committee. β
The seven Standing Committee members are all Yuan, Zhong Guanguan has made it clear that he does not want to participate in politics, and Yu Zixun and Yang Rui have long wanted to clear him out, and then expand the seven-person Standing Committee to nine, so that four people can be plugged in. In addition to the so-called revolutionary hero Cai Yuanpei, the remaining three, one is Yu Huizu, who represents both industry and commerce and is a native of Ningbo. The four major merchant gangs in China, the Jin merchants were to be suppressed because of the original sin of history, and at the same time, they were also state-owned for the right of way and mining rights in Shanxi; Hui merchants do not move; Cantonese businessmen want to win over because of the relationship with overseas Chinese; The Zhejiang merchants are divided into two parts, one is the owner of the money village in Shaoxing and the owner of raw silk in Huzhou, and the other is the commercial owner and the comprador of the foreign bank in Ningbo.
Historically, the former slowly lost its influence with the abolition of the two yuan and the decline of the raw silk industry, while the latter transformed from a commercial comprador to one of the earliest factory owners in China. From the perspective of economic development, the former should be suppressed, and the latter should be supported, especially when the revival will be created, without the Ningbo businessmen to help the big tree to lean on, it is estimated that the monosodium glutamate factory has long been taken away. Therefore, Ningbo people must have one person on the Standing Committee no matter what.
The last two people, Yang Rui wanted to go to the peasant association to find farmers who were honest, obedient, and knew how to measure. This can also give the outside world the impression that the revival will be pro-farming. In the first 30 years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, peasant associations, peasants, and agriculture were the top priorities of the ruling party, and after the initial industrialization of the 30 years, the basis of the ruling power was the large and small factory owners. And ordinary workers, except for technicians, they don't care if they die a million a year.
Yang Rui himself, Zhang Taiyan, Xu Huafeng, Wang Jitong, Xie Jintai, Cai Yuanpei, Yu Huizu, plus two peasant members. This will be the list of Standing Committee members elected by the Third Congress, which Yang Rui believes is ideal. Now Wang Jitong is also going to retire, he still wants to keep Yu Zixun in the Standing Committee, he thinks so. But in Yang Rui's opinion, he is already very famous because of the Shanghai bloody case in 05, so even if he is not a member of the Standing Committee, he can play a role in the periphery. What to do? Yang Rui estimated again in his heart, and instantly pressed the nine-member Standing Committee back to seven: himself, Xu Huafeng, Xie Zhangtai, Cai Yuanpei, Yu Huizu, Du Yaquan, and farmers.
"Since Zixun has gone out, the people, Hanzhang and Qiu Fan are all going to come in, and there is always someone coming in from the peasant association. And among the rest. Mr. Hua Feng is indispensable, although Chong'an is not prestigious, he is influential among overseas Chinese......" Yang Rui changed his mind and simply cleared Wang Jitong out. was afraid that he would have an opinion, so Zhang Taiyan also let him out. Like Wang Jitong, he was imprisoned for the revolution, and his reputation was no worse than anyone else's.
Yang Rui's mind suddenly changed. Only made Wang Jitong stunned for a while. Then he said, "It's not good for me to have any opinions." It's just that the representatives in the meeting don't know Brother Qiu Fan well, so they are afraid of ......"
"In fact, he is the same as Zixun, he is working hard behind the scenes, and his merits are not necessarily less than anyone else, it can be said that without him, there would be no Tonghua today, and there would be no revival without Tonghua today. If you don't know, then spread the word and let everyone know. Yang Rui interrupted him.
The propaganda inside and outside the meeting was all caught by Yang Rui, and Wang Jitong only remembered this now. He smiled bitterly and said, "You've thought about it, so what are you talking to me about?" As you envisioned. Every step since the founding of the People's Republic of China has been dangerous and dangerous, and one step cannot be wrong. It is still very important for the Standing Committee to maintain stability, otherwise there will be problems. β
"yes!" Yang Rui looked away, as if he didn't see his wry smile, "The country can't mess up a single step, so the idea of self-honoring is unacceptable." Now is the time to pursue efficiency rather than fairness. The landlords had to lose, but after the land reform, the peasants bounced the bulk of the tax revenue, and no one benefited. This is done for the sake of the country's rejuvenation, and revival is not just about rhetoric, cultural, military, and economic. The latter two are not industrialized, and one qiΔ is delusional. To put it bluntly, as long as industrialization can be achieved, it is worth the death of millions of people. β
"It's done, you! How can you ...... like this" Wang Jitong was shocked when he heard it come out of his mouth, millions of people are going to die.
Yang Rui smiled: "You know, I've always been straightforward to my own people, and I won't hide anything." Why can the current powers bully us? It is because they have strong scientific and technological and economic strength, if we want not to be bullied, if we want to earn a better place for our children and grandchildren to thrive, then we must work hard to build industry and research and develop technology. Only in this way can we make up for the shortcomings of the nation. For the sake of the future of the nation, it is not a big deal to die a few million. β
"It's done! No one has the right to let anyone die as long as they themselves don't want to! Wang Jitong felt that he had not mistaken Yang Rui, he was no longer the Yang Rui he was earlier.
"I'm not going to let them die, it's impossible." Yang Rui said: "As soon as the factory is built, the workers will naturally work hard in order to earn more wages, and when the money is earned, the person will naturally die of exhaustion." Xiao Xu, this is the inevitable price of industrialization, without the feedback of agriculture and the sacrifice of slave labor, how can there be prosperity of the country? β
"But it turned out that Britain and Europe are already improving the treatment of workers, and the British Labour Party is still in parliament, why can't we ......?" said Wang Jitong.
"Europe has improved the treatment of workers, hehe, because they have had enough of death, they have already made a lot of money, and they still have a large colony and sales market. In addition to choosing a unique industry like MSG, we can only fight labor costs with foreigners. But don't forget about jì, there is a Japan for labor costs, and the money earned by rickshaw drivers in Shanghai is several times that of Japanese textile workers, not to mention European standards, that is, according to the wage standards in Shanghai, we can't compete with the Japanese.
Do you know why the industrial base should be built in Shanxi, instead of Northeast China or Shanghai, in addition to considering resources and security, there is also a very important reason that the people of Shanxi and Shaanxi are poor, and their poor wages can be low, and the things made with low wages can be cheap. Yang Rui said helplessly, he suddenly felt that there were too many people who couldn't keep up with his pace.
After Yang Rui explained the hardship of having to die, Wang Jitong went out gloomily. The next day, when the last issue was discussed, namely, the treatment of martyrs, he did not speak. Just sit on the side with a thoughtful and calm face.
Yang Rui knew that he still had a knot, but he didn't talk to him. He also thought about it all night last night, and everyone agreed with the anti-Qing and Han Dynasty, but how would they choose to break the small-scale peasant economy and achieve industrialization? It is estimated that except for Xu Huafeng, Xie Jintai, and Du Yaquan, other people, including Zhang Taiyan, will not be able to go to the end with him. The Manchu Qing Dynasty brought disaster to the country and the people, lost power and humiliated the country, and there was an original sin. There is nothing wrong with destroying and looting them; The gentry are not benevolent for the rich, the people are hungry, and the land reform is understandable; But what do the workers say. Are they born to die?
But if they don't die, how can wealth be accumulated? This kind of accumulation is not an accumulation of agricultural subsidies, but an accumulation of real swords and real guns to fight with the Japanese at a low cost. Even according to Michael Porter's theory of industrial competition. In addition to the low-cost strategy, there is also a differentiation strategy. However, the premise of the differentiation strategy is to have high-tech and high-quality workers, so why does China now have a large number of high-tech and high-quality workers? It can be said that the country's most senior talents are all in government-run enterprises and Tianzihao, except for foreign banks, and these people may not be enough to support the operation of state-owned factories, and it is impossible to support the entire country's industry. Can China ......
When Yang Rui was distracted, several other people had already finished discussing the matter of preferential treatment and rewards for martyrs and meritorious heroes. Zhong Guanguan next to him touched him who was distracted. said: "Actually, we basically don't have any opinions. I believe that there will be no opinion on this plan when it is discussed in the National Assembly. β
The plan was drawn up by Yang Rui, there are two principles, one is to compensate for the losses brought to the people because of the revolution, the most important thing is Yanzhou, many of the materials collected before are white, and now the revolution is successful, this account is to be repaid, the second is the dead, the living revolutionaries, in addition to giving the knight and the house, the former orphans will increase the pension, and the living soldiers, not only according to the number of years of membership in the arrears of salaries, but also will be issued a small number of non-transferable Tianzi stocks and a small number of state-owned industrial stocks. In fact, this is also more virtual and less real, and the things that do not cost money such as medals and titles are the focus.
"Oh...... That's good! Yang Rui replied absentmindedly. That means the meeting is over, so let's get everything in order, and we'll leave Hong Kong tomorrow. It's June soon, and the uprising is already imminent. β
Listening to Yang Rui say that the meeting was over, and everyone was about to take a breath, Yu Zixun immediately said, "Actually, comrades, I think it is necessary to discuss the constitution after the founding of the People's Republic of China before the meeting ends." β
Yesterday's unhappiness has disappeared under the adjustment of everyone, and Yu Zixun has spoken a lot today. He longed for himself to be like the founding fathers of the United States and leave his mark on the Constitution. Yu Zixun said, then took out six copies of Wen JiΓ n from the clip, and then handed them to everyone present, it can be seen that he has been ready for a long time now.
"The Constitution is to be discussed at the Third Congress." Yang Rui looked at the manuscript placed in front of him and couldn't help but say.
"Just a draft! Just a draft! And don't come to any conclusions. Yu Zixun emphasized. The constitution will be formulated sooner or later, and now that we have time, you can take the time to read it first. β
Yu Zixun said so, but Zhang Taiyan, who had just reconciled with him, said for the sake of unity: "Since you are free, it's good to take a look." β
As soon as Zhang Taiyan said that Yang Rui was not good enough to oppose it anymore, he pinched the manuscript with his fingers and read it, but the first line made him shudder: It reads: We, the people of the Republic of China, in order to form a more perfect country, establish justice, protect the rights and interests of the people, promote the welfare of the whole people, and ensure that we are our children and grandchildren......
However, if you look at the back, there are cumbersome examples of congressional election methods and congressional powers, and there are no clichΓ©s, which are basically an operating instruction, which is somewhat interesting. Yang Rui did not know that this was actually a copy of the US Constitution, and Yu Zixun originally meant to establish a model of separation of powers in China, preferably like the United States - but when he knew that the presidential system could not be realized, he could only switch to the Constitution.
Putting down the manuscript paper, Yang Rui took the pen and scratched it out where he was not satisfied, and after half a ring, he saw that everyone had finished reading it. Yu Zixun said: "This is what I wrote in the past few days, with reference to the constitutional provisions of various countries, and there is no conflict with the eight issues we discussed before in terms of content......
He said this, but Yang Rui disagreed, and after handing over the written copy, Yang Rui said: "Although China's parliament is also divided according to the population of each province, occupation is also one of the dividing factors. In the Congress, the peasants and businessmen are in the majority, and although it is not enough to fill the Parliament with peasants, they are in the majority. β
Yang Rui had only said before that he would use the Revival Congress to control the Congress, but how to control the Congress, because at that time there was a discussion on whether to implement the one-party dictatorship, so everyone didn't ask much, and now I heard Yang Rui say that farmers and businessmen will take the majority of the Congress, which makes everyone strange. Yu Zixun said with a smile: "Yes, most of the peasants are illiterate." β
"If you can't be literate, you can't be a member of Congress, are you cultural discrimination?" Yang Rui asked rhetorically, what he wanted was that the peasant councilors were illiterate. "It's not that those who can't read can't be reasonable, and it's not that those who can't read can't be confused."
"But ......," Yu Zixun was speechless for a while, "In any country in the world, there has never been an illiterate peasant who has become a member of Congress." Unexpectedly, when this spreads, both Chinese and foreign countries will be laughed at. β
"There's no way to laugh, that's the case in China. If the peasants are not allowed to enter the Congress, there will be no illiteracy in our whole country? The first role of the peasants in the Congress is to let those who are ambitious and want to build a democratic republic know what kind of country it is! Yang Rui's voice had the voice of Jin Shi, and he was expressing his insistence on this matter to everyone present. Not only did the peasants have to enter the Congress, but they also had to occupy more than 30 percent of the seats, and none of the rentiers who could only collect rents and not create zΓ o wealth should not be allowed to enter. β
"Actually, Congress is a place to discuss state affairs, what state affairs can a poor and illiterate person discuss there?!" Yu Zixun was also excited, and he felt that the perfect constitution in his heart seemed to be tainted by something.
"Most of China's citizens are farmers, so most of China's state affairs are agricultural! Zixun, do you know the current price of food? Do you know the yield per acre in various places? Do you know what fertilizer you use for farming? Yang Rui asked rhetorically, "If the members of Congress don't know this, then even if they are literate, what is the difference between them and illiterate?" If the members of Congress do not have farmers, how can the interests of farmers be safeguarded? β
Yu Zixun was speechless at Yang Rui's rhetorical question, Zhang Taiyan kept nodding, and Xu Huafeng, Zhong Guanguan, Wang Jitong, and Xie Jintai were pondering. Yang Rui said again: "You have said so much in the Constitution, but I feel that there are only two reasonable ways to calculate the generation of congressmen: one is to see who is creating wealth for the country? Whoever creates the wealth should be the protagonist in the Congress. Seventy-five percent of the country's wealth is generated by agriculture, with industry and commerce ranking second. Of course, this does not mean that other people are not important, but in terms of the number of legislators, farmers must come first and industrial and commercial owners second.
The second is to pay taxes. The government is the institution employed by taxpayers, and only taxpayers have the right to vote and to be elected. It is ridiculous that you now stipulate that people who have reached the age of 18 have the right to vote! Why did they have the right to vote, to create wealth for the country, or to pay taxes to the government? β
"Actually, you're racist!" The 15th Amendment to the 1870 U.S. Constitution stipulates that a citizen's race, skin color, or former slavery cannot be used as an excuse to restrict suffrage. Now that Yang Rui said that only after paying taxes can he have the right to vote, he can't help but think of racial discrimination.
"People who haven't paid taxes still want to vote, that's a dream!" Yang Rui said loudly, but after a while, he calmed down again, and said calmly: "Zixun, my opinion has been written on the copy you gave me." Not only this one, but I also disagree with several others, we are China, not the United States! (To be continued......)
