"Do you have a solution?"

The Mentor instinctively didn't believe the words of a certain immortal, and in his eyes, someone might be a little ghostly and smart, with good political sensitivity and vision, and a bit of miraculous luck. But the level of theory, whether it is Marxist theoretical philosophy or economic theory, is not worth mentioning. Even Bukharin, who has made the most achievements in the economy in the party, has no way to solve the food problem, and a little hairy child who has not graduated from college can do it?

Anyway, Lenin felt that someone might have gone so well that he got carried away a little bit about the period of time, so he didn't mind teaching someone a lesson, so that someone would be modest and cautious.

"Tell me, what can you do?" Lenin lit a cigarette absently, as if intending to use this time to rest a little, just to change his mind.

However, Li Xiaofeng didn't dare to say his method directly, because it was too shocking, so he had to find himself a gold medal for avoiding death first.

"That's right," the creature said, "I might be a little immature in my idea, in case I say something wrong......

Lenin was in no mood or time to talk nonsense with someone, he would fart as soon as he had something to say, and there was no third person in this office. Besides, you kid is my confidant, even if you say something wrong, will I still give you a line?

Li Xiaofeng was really afraid of this, because what he wanted to say was simply deviant in the eyes of the Bolsheviks in this era, and he should be dragged out and shot for three minutes. At least he knew that Stalin would have done so.

"My opinion is to get the Swedish bourgeoisie to import grain for us. And it's better not to spend too much money yet. Actually, it's easy! ”

As soon as I heard this. Lenin said angrily: "You say easy is easy? Could it be that the Swedish bourgeoisie has become philanthropists! ”

"How can the bourgeoisie be charitable to us," Li Xiaofeng flattened his mouth and said: "My personal opinion is only to benefit them, as long as the interests are sufficient, the bourgeoisie dares to make a deal with the devil!" ”

Lenin was confused by someone, if he could move to profit, if he had money, he didn't have an idea of spending so many brain cells? Immediately he became impatient. urged: "Just say, don't go around in circles, how to move it to advantage!" ”

"It's easy!" A certain immortal said very cautiously, "China has a vast land and abundant natural resources, and the resources of coal, iron, oil and other mines are second to none in the world......

"Slow down! Slow down! Lenin immediately began to call a halt, he looked someone up and down, and asked suspiciously: "Do you want us to use our mineral resources as collateral to the vampires in Sweden in exchange for food?" I'm warning you. This is a no-no! ”

Li Xiaofeng pursed his lips and said in his heart: "Of course I know that this is impossible. With the urine nature of your old man, how can you let the bourgeoisie take advantage of this. And even if your old man agrees, the other bigwigs in the party can't agree! This is the rhythm of the rebellion and death, can I not know the way? ”

So he hurriedly said: "You misunderstood, how dare I open this opening, this is tantamount to handing over the lifeblood of our national economy and people's livelihood to the hands of the bourgeoisie, how can I do such a stupid thing?" ”

Lenin was a little relieved at this time, he was really worried that someone would have this thought, because someone was too young and also came from a bourgeois family, and it was inevitable that he would make mistakes on some major issues of right and wrong.

Lenin flicked the ashes of his cigarette and asked, "Then tell me what you can do!" ”

"My solution is very simple, that is, to exchange resources for food!" Li Xiaofeng hurriedly expressed his true thoughts, "Now Britain, France, the United States, Germany and other countries are blockading us and not doing trade with us, trying to use blockade means to force us to submit. It is undeniable that this trick is indeed very poisonous, however, I think it is a double-edged sword, while blocking us, some of the resources produced by our country will not be available to them, and this is where we can make a fuss! ”

Li Xiaofeng is not bad at all, although Russia has a poor industrial base in this year, it is too rich in resources. Take Hammer's success as an example, this product took advantage of the blockade of the Soviet Union by the Western world, and resold resources to make a large fortune. And most importantly, you have to see that this reselling resource belongs to the kind of resources that are not particularly profitable, such as mining asbestos, mining graphite to make pencils or something.

With Li Xiaofeng's influence among the Bolsheviks, how could he be able to see this kind of petty fight, and if he wanted to do it, he had to do the business of matchmaking iron and oil, so that he could make a lot of money. To put it simply, the Baku oil fields confiscated by the Bolsheviks, which are among the top oil fields in Europe, are no worse than the oil princes of the Arab world in later generations just by extracting crude oil for direct export.

"You mean barter?" Lenin asked, saying that it was still too simple and direct for the mentor to engage in the economy, and bartering for equivalent exchange was indeed feasible, but it was not the best choice.

"Bartering may not be particularly attractive to the bourgeoisie," Li Xiaofeng said slowly, "and we must use hunger marketing." From now on, we will strictly control the export of strategic materials, crack down on smuggling, and ensure that Britain, France, the United States and Germany and other countries cannot obtain any resources from our country! ”

Lenin is getting more and more confused, in his opinion, strict control, I am afraid it is a kind of self-blockade in disguise, now people are embargoing us, we are worried about this, can smuggle a little food in, but also to resolve the urgent need, self-isolation, that is not waiting for death?

"This is not waiting for death, but artificially creating a phenomenon of material shortage!" Li Xiaofeng said firmly, "Only when the resources and products of Russia in the international market completely disappear, then the bourgeois vampires will find it profitable, and at that time it will be they who will take the initiative to cooperate with us, not us begging them for alms!" ”

Lenin thought about it, but he still could not accept this shocking proposal, because it would take time to do so, and now Russia is the one that will not stand the test of time, and it will soon be winter. If there is not enough food. How to survive the winter? Wait until the next year's grain harvest. This Nima still has more than half a year to go, who can stand this Nima? Moreover, it is difficult to say what the situation will be next year, in case the negotiations with Germany do not go well, in case next year's grain harvest fails, this is a proper death!

"Of course, I know that time is tight, so my approach is based on the fact that the negotiations with Germany can reach an agreement smoothly. On the premise that the war can be ended in the first half of next year. Li Xiaofeng spread his hands and said, "The end of the war against Germany can immediately demobilize millions of troops on the front line, and then through land reform, if everything goes well, next year's agricultural production can be greatly restored." And through this control for more than half a year, the hunger marketing strategy can basically work. At that time, the food problem was basically solved! ”

It should be said that Li Xiaofeng is completely fooling, and ending the war against Germany is very realistic and can be achieved. But withdrawing from World War I does not mean that Russia is at peace. The day the foreign war ended, it was the beginning of the civil war. And this dozen is two or three years. To put it mildly, peace in Russia came far later than the other belligerents in World War I.

Therefore, it is impossible to recover agricultural production next year, and even with the outbreak of the civil war, the damage to agricultural production will be more serious than that of World War I.

However, why should someone be so foolish? As mentioned earlier, this is a good opportunity for him. If Russia closes itself off from the rest of the world and forms a closed market, it will be in his best interest. At that time, as long as he used grain to open the way, he really had whatever he wanted, not to mention reselling resources, it was possible to contract oil fields and buy coal mines.

To put it bluntly, someone is ready to make a profit at both ends, and in the international market, because of strict control, the main resource products supplied by Russia to Europe have basically disappeared, and naturally the price will rise. In the domestic market, because of famine, grain has become the most important strategic material, and the price is naturally not low. This is the price difference between the two ends, can the profit not be big? It can be said that the conscience of a certain immortal is very bad, and if he is really allowed to do it, it will be a model of the victory of evil over justice.

The Mentor pondered for a long time, sighed, and asked, "What you said is the most ideal state, but we have to plan for everything. If the negotiations with Germany do not go well, or if the reactionary forces in the country are not willing to accept defeat and start a civil war, then the situation will be completely different. In that case, the food problem is simply impossible to solve! The crisis will even be even worse! ”

"There is such a possibility!" Li Xiaofeng admitted it directly, but he also had his own set of arguments: "But I must remind you that even if we don't control foreign trade, smuggling, and do nothing, the situation of food shortage will not change at all." By next year, in the event of a civil war, the food crisis will still exist objectively, and there will be no difference! ”

Lenin's brow was furrowed, and someone was not at all false, even if he did not control trade, the situation would remain the same, because Britain, France, the United States, and Japan would continue to blockade until the fall of their Bolsheviks, and a little smuggling alone could not change the overall situation.

After a long time, Lenin nodded slightly, but instead of being entirely sure of someone's suggestion, he asked: "If, as you say, strictly control trade and crack down on smuggling, if we really do this, will the foreign bourgeois vampires obediently offer the grain with both hands?" Will they scramble to make a deal with us? ”

"No!" Li Xiaofeng gently spit out the word and said seriously: "It's not enough to just do this. While strictly controlling it, we must establish an access mechanism! According to my personal opinion, at that time, all foreign merchants who wish to trade with us must first provide a certain amount of grain as a guarantee, and only those who provide such guarantees will be qualified to trade with us! ”

The idea that Lenin liked to attract foreign merchants to trade and at the same time pick up a large quantity of grain for nothing was too creative. However, Li Xiaofeng did not think that there was anything remarkable, let alone for the interests of the Bolsheviks.

It can only be said that the Master Mentor took it for granted that as the first proletarian power in history, although there were huge business opportunities in the land of the Soviet Union, not all businessmen dared to trade with the Soviet government.

Who has made this regime hostile to the bourgeoisie, and has already confiscated all the property of the bourgeoisie in his own country by practical actions. Is there a guarantee of making a deal with such a regime? At that time, there were not a small number of businessmen who had such doubts, or they accounted for an absolute majority. In percentage terms, that's 99 percent. And only Hammer's fledgling stupid audacity dared to set foot on the territory of the Soviet Union alone to do business.

Think about it. Foreign capital is not invited to come in. Wouldn't artificially setting a threshold keep more people out? It is important to know that when a large eastern country was engaged in reform and opening up, all kinds of preferential policies were issued in piles, which attracted capital. According to the suggestion of a certain immortal, the foreign trade of the USSR would be a monopoly feast for a small number of people. And this small group of people, without even thinking about it, is definitely the partner of a certain immortal.

It can be said that his suggestion is harboring evil intentions. To put it bluntly, it is to prepare to eat alone. However, the Mentor is not a fool, and he quickly pointed out the question with a burst of blood: "Wouldn't setting such a threshold deter merchants who are interested in trading with us?" ”

This answer was already in his mind, and he replied confidently: "There will be no such question at all, and I will first persuade the Eugen family, the Nobel family, and my father and Victoria's family to take the lead." With their exemplary role, with the bourgeoisie's thirst for capital and money, they will wave cheques and rush to us in a steady stream! ”

The Mentor sat in his seat and thought carefully about it for a long time, weighing this issue repeatedly. When the third cigarette butt was extinguished, he seemed to have made a decision: "Comrade Andrey. Your proposal is very good, and I will submit your proposal to the Central Committee for discussion. ”

Li Xiaofeng breathed a sigh of relief at this time, although the mentor did not indicate whether he agreed with this plan, but he was able to ask the old man to submit this proposal to the Central Committee for discussion, which means that his old man was very moved by this.

can impress his old man, Li Xiaofeng is very satisfied, as the old saying goes, too much. So he didn't dare to be in too much of a hurry, so he didn't take the hot iron. According to his thoughts, today's meeting with the Mentor has been a complete success, and it is time to shine.

Lenin, however, did not intend to let someone go so early, and once again he stopped a certain immortal, "Comrade Trotsky is proposing to the Central Committee that the criminal acts of your father and the Victorian family in the theft and sale of state assets should be strictly investigated. Have you ever thought about how to explain this? ”

Li Xiaofeng was asked stupidly, how else can he explain? Didn't I make it very clear just now, the money from the theft and sale of grain has supported the party, and you old man can't just take the money and ignore the guarantor, right?

Besides, I hinted very clearly just now, to engage in grain trade, you can't do without the first person to eat crabs, I have named it, for the sake of the future, you can't do it now, right?

Lenin didn't know what kind of small calculations someone had made, but such small calculations were useless to him, and now that he was anxious about the food problem, he had to take advantage of the opportunity to extort a sum of food.

"Your father and the Victoria Support Party's funding, which is indeed commendable. But credit goes to credit, and mistakes go to mistakes. It's not right to steal and sell grain, so you have to pay for it! ”

Li Xiaofeng couldn't laugh or cry a little, he understood that Master Mentor was grabbing the toad to squeeze out the brain platinum, and if he didn't break the fortune today, he wouldn't want to avoid the disaster.

He sighed wistfully and asked, "So what do you want to do with them?" ”

"My opinion is clear," Lenin said calmly, "just confiscate the illegal gains and return the stolen grain!" ”

Well, your old man, this is a lion's mouth! Li Xiaofeng suddenly gasped, and hurriedly said: "The vast majority of those illegal incomes support the party's funds......"

Lenin said unhurriedly: "That is your contribution to the party, now is not the time to mention it, now is the time to hold accountable!" You don't confuse two things! ”

Now Li Xiaofeng is gone, the previous contribution of the relationship is a vain contribution, and there is no benefit at all, since this is the case, what is the point? Your old man can directly raid the house.

So this goods simply didn't go out, "Then you will handle it according to the law, and you will be held accountable for how to hold it accountable!" ”

There is also a reason why this product is single, Victoria and his father's assets have long been transferred, that is, Victoria is still in the country, and she has been hung up, if she hides out of the country like someone's cheap old man early, then even if the East Window incident really happens, the mentor will not take her.

Actually, it's true, if Victoria and someone's cheap daddy hold on to it, the mentor won't be able to squeeze out a dime.

"If you directly pursue responsibility, then the problem is quite serious!" Lenin began to scare someone.

Someone replied heartlessly: "If it's serious, it's serious, anyway, it's not going to be shot!" ”

Lenin was stunned by these words, because the fact is that if someone puts on a posture of asking for money and death, then he is really an old man. Therefore, he had to relax his tone: "What kind of attitude is this kid, this is the organization saving you, do you understand?" There is no harm in accepting the punishment honestly! ”

How is it possible for someone's head to shake like a rattle and let him spit out the fat he has eaten, he still has more money to use later! Anyway, he also knew that the master wouldn't really do anything to him, it was just to scare him and squeeze a little more food.

"So be it, Comrade Andrey, a thousand tons of wheat!" Lenin reluctantly stretched out a finger, "You immediately provide a thousand tons of wheat for emergency relief, and the organization will not pursue this matter!" (To be continued......)
