"Here, have some oranges." Wei Changrong placed a few oranges on the table in front of Shen Xin and pulled out a stool for himself to sit down.
Shen Xin picked one up and smelled it, then said in a nostalgic tone, "Jiangxi oranges, I haven't eaten them in a long time."
The newly appointed deputy minister of the Organization Department, Shen Xin, had just returned to Asia. When he left Asia, he set off from Nanjing. When he returned, the capital had changed. Jiangxi, which was rich in oranges, was thousands of miles away from Beijing than Nanjing.
Wei Changrong peeled an orange, ate a few pieces, and couldn't help but sigh, "Because of fear of spoiling, I don't dare to pick oranges when they are ripe. They still taste too sour. "
Shen Xin also ate a few pieces, then smiled and said, "Old Wei, don't be unreasonable. You have been next to Jiangxi all these years, you can eat oranges however you want. We can't eat this fruit in North America except in canned food. "
Wei Changrong retorted without hesitation, "We can't eat salmon except in canned food. You can eat raw salmon fillets all you want over there. "
In the face of such a response, Shen Xin rolled his eyes and thought about how to fight back. But after a while, he felt that trying to fight back was too childish. Then Shen Xin relaxed and couldn't help but laugh. Since the opponent had given up, Wei Changrong also laughed out loud. Both of them felt that their emotions had been greatly relieved.
Of course, the two leaders of the Organization Department didn't completely relax so easily. Wei Changrong brought up the recent problem, "45, 50, 55 years old. Shen Xin, what age do you think is suitable to start receiving food stamps? "
Shen Xin sighed slightly and didn't answer immediately. This was a very big problem. Every age had a vote of supporters. Those who supported 55 years old believed that the retirement age was like this. It was suitable to start receiving food stamps at 55 years old. There weren't many people who supported 45 years old until a representative of the People's Congress stood up and shouted, "When people reach 45 years old, they have parents and children. If they have a successful career, food stamps are nothing to them. If their careers were ordinary, they would be under a lot of pressure. I think most people with ordinary careers would feel less pressure if they had food stamps. We will also have confidence in our country. "
As for the person who suggested 50 years old, it was probably a compromise. He felt that 45 years old was still relatively early, and 55 years old seemed too late. Shen Xin had been thinking about it for the past few days and actually felt that being 45 years old was the most attractive of the three options. However, Shen Xin was also very clear that once this benefit was given out, there was probably no possibility of it being reduced. It was just like the retirement benefits in the military. Even those who didn't care about it when they joined the military would pay attention to it when they really retired. What's more, many of them joined the army for the treatment and benefits of being a soldier, so they haggled over every detail and refused to compromise.
Thinking of this, Shen Xin sighed and said, "Back then, the commander-in-chief ordered that the welfare must not be excessive. We must not adjust the basic content because of a moment of soft-heartedness. Now, it seems that the Commander-in-Chief has better foresight than us. I firmly support the pension being given out at 55 years old for men and 50 years old for women. "
Wei Changrong understood what Shen Xin meant as soon as he heard this. He nodded and said, "I also support the introduction of food stamps at 45 years old. 20 catties of rice or wheat flour, 1.5 catties of oil, and 6 catties of meat a month is actually not a big deal. In the current situation, there are actually not many people who completely want to rely on this to make a living. Even if they sell these for money, they won't be able to get much. "
"These are all raw. If we want to cook this well, we also need additional investment. Water, electricity, gas, and a kitchen are all indispensable, "Shen Xin said in agreement. He had just returned to the central, so he didn't dare to make a statement. The higher-ups were very particular about the rules, and Shen Xin had no intention of ignoring other comrades. When Wei Changrong publicly expressed his stance, Shen Xin also felt much more relaxed.
Wei Changrong had voted a lot, so he didn't have any special feelings about it. He put aside the issue of age and asked about the content he was concerned about. "The current problem isn't how old you are. The key now is that the commander-in-chief is preparing to establish a new system. The relationship between the people, the Party, and the government needs to change. Besides, you came from North America, so you naturally know the situation of the land in North America. "
Before leaving North America, Shen Xin took a big risk and flew around many places in North America in a reconnaissance plane. Now that he heard Wei Changrong ask this question, he immediately replied, "There are many plains in North America. The commander-in-chief's idea of an agricultural belt is completely in line with the situation in North America."
"Then how many people do you think North America can accommodate?" Wei Changrong asked seriously.
Shen Xin scratched his head slightly. "100 million people is no problem at all. Even if there are 200 million people, there can still be a large amount of food to sell."
"Don't say 200 million!" Wei Changrong was shocked by this number. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Those who can go to North America are all young and strong. Our current total population is less than Vézé's, who lived in the Internet era. This can be achieved through the development of productivity, that is, computers, databases, and the Internet. Once, when Vézé went to Beijing to play, he forgot to bring his ID card and was refused to stay in a hotel. Just as he was at a loss, the hotel receptionist told Vézé that he could go to the nearby police station to get a certificate. Vézé went to the police station and gave his name and ID number. The other party easily completed the information retrieval work through the Internet.
After the two of them observed the photo of Vézé on the screen and the real Vézé, they both thought that it was Vézé himself. Then, they printed a copy of the ID card on A4 paper, tore off the half of the printed image, and gave it to Vézé. The police station solved Vézé's problem without asking for a penny. Vézé was very impressed by this. However, in December 1890, Vézé did not think that technology could be improved to such a point in a short period of time.
Since Vézé could not handle the technology of the Internet era, he had to construct a system that could be completed with current technology. In other words, a real bureaucratic system full of red tape, and a bureaucratic system that could easily be run amok. In the end, would the bureaucrats eat up the ideals of the country first, or would the advancement of technology maintain the advancement of ideals and continue to promote social progress? Vézé felt that this race was really worth watching.
However, Vézé did not tell everyone about this. When faced with the problem, Vézé displayed amazing patience. He explained in detail how to establish a bureaucratic system to the people's congress.
Shen Xin listened carefully. He also saw that the members of the Central Committee, who were in charge of China's bureaucratic system, were all showing impatient expressions. Shen Xin found that he could completely understand the mood of these colleagues, because the questions raised by the people's congress were undoubtedly pointing in the same direction. In elegant words, they were asking the bureaucrats to "do their best until the day they die."
Different classes, different strata, different interests, different butts. Shen Xin silently recited a basic political philosophy in his mind. If the bureaucratic system followed the requirements of the people, it needed to operate at an efficiency that humans could not achieve at all. This kind of operating efficiency alone was not enough. The country also needed to provide communication equipment that was so large that it would bankrupt the country. Whether it was from the standpoint of a bureaucrat or a person with real power who had the power to review the government budget, Shen Xin felt that he could not stand on the side of the working people in any case.
A female cadre next to Shen Xin put her ten fingertips together under the table, and expressionlessly played a game of finger chase. On the other side, a male cadre took out a document and began to write and draw on it. Shen Xin took a look. This was a report from the Ministry of Agriculture on the expansion of agricultural schools for retired soldiers in 1891-1894 and the number of students. There was a lot of data, and it required a lot of calculations. It was really a good way to kill time.
He did not have the calmness of the female cadre, nor did he have the sufficient preparation of the male cadre. Shen Xin closed his eyes slightly, and prepared to go through the personnel of the North American theater of operations again in his mind. Although it did not take a long time, it was always more effective to do something serious than to listen to the nonsense of the people's congress.
At this moment, the microphone rang a few times. It was the sound of changing people. Then Vézé's voice sounded. "Comrades, I heard a true story, and I'll tell it to you as a story. There was a factory workshop, and there was a monitor in the workshop. He prepared for a long time, and then he told everyone to get ready to do an unprecedented amount of work in one day. Then he handed the workload to the workshop director. After the comrades in his team learned about this, a comrade went up and slapped the guy in the face, and scolded him, saying that he was doing harm to people! "
Hum … The people's congress in the hall all laughed or sneered. The Central Committee members sneered, or just showed a cold expression.
Everyone could understand the thoughts of the monitor, and he reported a real data that had happened. If this data could become a recognized average, the monitor would have a chance to win the favor of his boss. Of course, before he was promoted and left the front line, whether this would be exposed or not was another question. But this guy did deserve to be slapped.
As for why His Majesty Vézé mentioned such an example, most people did not understand. So everyone was waiting for Vézé to finish. After the hall quieted down, Vézé said aloud, "The government and civil servants do serve the people. But they are also human beings, and they need time to finish their work. So the request made by the comrades of the National People's Congress is too much. "
