"Wei Kun. Socialism is just a name. Why do you care so much? You look like a child! " The Princess of Denmark was very casual when she was outside, but when she returned to her country, she immediately showed the demeanor of a gentle and virtuous lady. Even when she criticized Wei Kun, she maintained an open attitude. In other words, she expressed her opinion under the circumstances of a formal meeting.
"That's two different things. Even if I know that the meaning you give to that term is different from the meaning given by the Min dynasty, I still can't accept it. " Across from Qi Rui were several Danish nobles and upper echelons. These people saw Qi Rui's sullen face and spoke very seriously.
"Wei Kun. It's very common for people to have different definitions for the same term. " The Princess of Denmark still tried to persuade Wei Kun not to be so childish, because her uncle, the king of Denmark, had privately expressed his dissatisfaction with Wei Kun. The upper echelons of Denmark generally had a kind of hostility towards Wei Kun.
In fact, at this time, Wei Kun had gradually extricated himself from the unhappiness. He also knew that his unhappiness was actually a simple physical reaction. When the neuronal connection created by the acquired self encountered the stimulation of 'different facts', Wei Kun's first reaction was to 'deny', just like normal people. Purely from a purely theoretical point of view, it was normal to encounter different positions and different attitudes. But the understanding of socialism and freedom was one of the core values of Wei Kun's three views, and it was Wei Kun's belief. If these were rejected by a more scientific and humane theory, it would be fine. But a group of conservative European nobles in power attacked this system. Other than a strong feeling of opposition, Wei Kun really could not come up with any other ideas. So he replied very unhappily, "Even if I know, this involves my worldview. I can accept it, but I can't get used to it for a while. "
There was never a lack of people who stirred up trouble in this world. These people's ability to get things done may not be worthy of recognition, but their ability to stir up trouble was first-class. A Danish nobleman smiled and asked, "Your Highness, I heard that in China, everything belongs to the state. Parents can't bequeath anything to their children."
Wei Kun didn't want to say much, but being provoked like this, he rolled his eyes. "Any ridiculous rumor will have a market, and there will be many people who believe it or spread it for various reasons. So I don't know if you belong to the former or the latter. "
Being rebuked in such a forceful manner, the nobleman immediately felt embarrassed. He did not shut up in embarrassment. Instead, he flew into a rage out of humiliation and began to spout nonsense like how European nobles slandered women. Wei Kun listened quietly. The Party School in China talked about how class conflicts could not be reconciled. Since assets and capital were the means to promote countries under capitalist systems or socialist systems, once you controlled capital and assets, you would naturally control power.
For ordinary people, they had property but few assets, so they did not care about these life-and-death struggles. For European capitalists and European rulers, the strong existence of public ownership was an uncompromising denial of private ownership, and they had a deep-seated hatred for the socialist system that implemented public ownership. Since there was such hatred, their attacks on China's socialist system were naturally ruthless and even brainless.
When the nobleman had no choice but to stop, Wei Kun asked coldly, "Have you been to China? Is this the information you got from your investigation in China? "
The nobleman drank a whole glass of water and said proudly, "That's what everyone says. Is there anything wrong with it?"
Vézé smiled mockingly. "There's one thing that's absolutely right. There's a widely spread saying in China, 'If you don't investigate, you don't have the right to speak.' You haven't investigated the situation in China, so I can tell you clearly that what you said is bullshit. "
The nobleman's face turned pale, and then he asked in a frenzied manner, "Are you saying that the people of China don't have their own land? Is that also false?"
"The people of China have their own harvested land. The people of China who choose to be agricultural workers not only have their own land, but also have the help of the state. To you, land is a valuable asset. To us, land is just a means of production, used for production. "Wei Kun could not help but want the nobleman to understand the difference between the two systems.
"In the end, the people of China still don't have their own land?" The Danish nobleman sneered, as if he had won.
Wei Kun sneered. "In China, it's not only the people of China who don't have their own land. In China, everyone, including the emperor, doesn't have their own land. This is the current situation in China. Don't you feel proud to hear that you are stronger than the emperor of China and have your own land? "
According to Wei Kun's thoughts, the Danish nobleman would probably continue to be proud. However, when the emperor of China was mentioned, the nobleman unexpectedly became listless. In Wei Kun's opinion, the emperor and the nobleman of a foreign country were nothing. Wei Kun really could not understand the reaction of the nobleman.
Of course, there were people who supported Wei Kun. A young man who looked to be in his twenties asked timidly, "Your Royal Highness, what are the benefits of state ownership of land? Since China is so determined to implement such a policy, there must be a reason for it. "
Did I meet a person who betrayed my class? Or is he just a little guy who still has a conscience and curiosity? Wei Kun had some doubts in his heart, but he still calmly explained, "In the past two thousand years, several large-scale changes of dynasties in China were related to the collapse of the land system. After industrialization, on one hand, there was rapid industrialization, and on the other hand, there was a rapid increase in productivity. The state ownership of land ensured that the food produced by land and labor could enter the market at a price without exploitation or additional charges, so that the people could enjoy a low price of food. Young man, if you do a social survey in Denmark, you will find that a large part of the cost of food is based on various kinds of additional charges based on the private ownership of land. It is not a price calculated from the simple cost of people's farming and labor. "
"Wei Kun! Enough! "The Danish princess could not help but interrupt Wei Kun's words with words that should not be used by women. The female guests who sat around them were confused. They had no idea what Wei Kun was talking about. The male guests who could understand a little of what Wei Kun was talking about showed bitter and hateful expressions. It was obvious that they had a clear attitude towards state ownership of land.
Wei Kun also decisively shut his mouth. Being besieged like this made him very angry, so Wei Kun could not help but remember that there were two classes on the modernization of the Min dynasty in the Party School course in China. Vézé, the president of the Restoration Party, was very harsh on the old society. In addition to turning the working people into masters, he also adopted the "Untouchables Law" to restrict and attack the "upper social class" under the previous private ownership of land.
The significance of the "Untouchables Law" was not only to let the people realize that the old upper class was not welcome in the Min dynasty, but also to keep them out of the school examination system through more than ten years of restrictions. Graduates from ordinary people occupied the civil service system. After the education rate of ordinary people caught up with and even surpassed the old upper class, the abolition of the "Untouchables Law" did not give those people a chance to rise.
This group of European nobles reminded Wei Kun of the definition of untouchables in the "Untouchables Law". It was no exaggeration to say that the people in this room probably did not even know the "Untouchables Law" when the Min dynasty was first established. In the "Untouchables Law", the untouchables could at least go to primary school. Other than not being able to take the civil service examination, their lives were not affected. And the Manchu Qing nobles would only die in the Min dynasty. The Min dynasty did not hesitate to kill this group of people.
Wei Kun used to think that his father Vézé had killed too many people. Now that he had seen the real "nobles," Wei Kun suddenly felt that he could understand his father Vézé's ruthlessness. As long as the people who really supported the system of state ownership of land, there were very few people who did not want to kill this group of people. Wei Kun had already sentenced this group of people to death in his heart.
The meeting of the nobles quickly ended. Wei Kun did not feel it was a pity at all. After seeing the behavior of this group of Danish nobles, he felt that the workers were the most adorable. Based on Wei Kun's work experience in Shanxi, the people of Shanxi, who had always been conservative, did not care who owned the land. They only cared if someone would take away their land. They only cared if the improved seeds and fertilizers used in the village's experimental fields could be sold to them as promised. When autumn came, they would also care if the price of grain collected by the state would be higher.
Even in Africa, the black brothers did not care who owned the land. They would work and earn money under scolding and orders, especially under the lead of the Japanese laborers. As for the Japanese laborers … Every time they received the supplies given to them by the government according to the agreement, this group of people would nod and bow to show their gratitude from the bottom of their hearts. Even Wei Kun himself felt embarrassed. Wei Kun only had one expectation for everyone, and that was to work hard and earn money together. Being plain was the real thing. Even if they did not show that kind of excitement, the government actually did not care.
There were a few agricultural technicians who came with Wei Kun. Their task was to walk around Denmark and investigate the farming level of the Danish people. For such a small country of more than 40,000 square kilometers, which was 200 kilometers in length and width, it was actually not difficult to walk around.
These technicians came back quickly, and they were full of praise for Denmark. The land was flat, and the trees were lush. Although the climate was not very suitable for growing crops, the good thing was that the climate was very stable, there were very few pests, and the soil had enough moisture. It was very suitable for growing crops and green fodder. The technicians agreed that this piece of land in Denmark, together with the alfalfa hay from East Africa, was very suitable for animal husbandry. A large amount of cow, sheep, and pig manure, after being processed by earthworms, could make Denmark's land more fertile.
After they finished talking, Wei Kun calmly said, "Natural talent is good, but the social system is bad, that is also useless."
The technicians were stunned. They did not expect Secretary Wei Kun to talk about political issues. Wei Kun calmly told his comrades about his dispute with the Danish nobles. This group of young agricultural technicians, of course, chose to support Wei Kun.
"Those dog nobles dare to laugh at our socialist system, they are really blind!"
"We saw a lot of Danish families in the countryside, they are so poor that almost all their belongings are bare. I have never seen such a miserable place in China for many years. Even Africa, a place with such a poor foundation, has made great progress in recent years. "
"These people can't even manage their own country, and they dare to laugh at us. They really deserve to die!"
Modern nation-states had a very strong sense of unity. The Min dynasty paid special attention to education, especially ideological education. It was very common for young people to scold the government in China, but this did not mean that these young people would help foreigners when the Min dynasty was unfairly criticized by foreigners. China was a civilized country, and the Min dynasty did not suffer the kind of tragic hundred years where its backbone was completely broken. The national pride did not disappear because of these young people's thousands of miles of journey. It was because they had traveled thousands of miles that they could clearly see the strength and advancement of the Min dynasty, and they had more confidence in their motherland.
The most important title of Wei Kun was not the governor of the three counties of Sudan, but the party secretary of the three counties of Sudan. Equal to this party secretary was the alternate member of the party committee of the East African administrative region. In other words, once there was a vacancy in the standing committee of the East African administrative region, Wei Kun would have to go to Nanzhan City to take up the important work of the standing committee and the East African administrative region.
As a party worker, Wei Kun must pay attention to party building. These China technicians were undoubtedly potential party members. The comrades who came with Wei Kun were valued. In addition to party members, there were also probationary party members and active party members. Wei Kun was in a bad mood, so he simply called a party meeting. The theme of the meeting was to discuss the views of agriculture and state ownership of land.
"Our hometown was originally very poor. No one knew how to improve the soil. There was a lot of saline land, so we could only plant sorghum. Today's sorghum cornbread is 70% white flour and 30% sorghum flour. When I was young, the cornbread was really pure sorghum cornbread. After the first time I ate pure white flour mantou, I felt strange. Why didn't my family plant such delicious flour instead of sorghum? Later, the agricultural school organized committee training, so I signed up. I didn't expect that I would be assigned to Africa. But I didn't expect that I would earn more money in Africa than in China. "
"Since I was young, I liked to dig holes with the old man who planted flowers in the community. I always wanted to have a big land to plant. That's why I signed up for the agricultural school. "
…
Everyone first introduced why they embarked on the road of agricultural technology. The reasons seemed to be different, but it was all because of some things that caused these comrades to love or pay attention to agricultural technical work.
"I have to say, I also want to be a big landlord, a big noble, high and mighty. Every day, I carry a bird cage and stroll around the territory with my lackeys. The girl guarding the house is good, so I'll snatch her back … "There were always funnier guys, and this was obviously the image of a bully from a classic land reform movie, which made everyone laugh. They were all young men, so it was normal for them to have such fantasies.
"However, I realized that if I wanted to satisfy my thoughts. I could only do slavery or feudalism. That's not right, and I don't have the ability to do it at all, so I support state ownership of land. This system is right, and it can make me a lot of money. I support it. "
"After working in agriculture for so many years, I have to learn to calculate costs. When I calculate the costs, I think that state ownership of land is lower. As long as the grassroots government doesn't mess around and don't apportion everything to the farmers. Life will be much better. "
"There's no shortage of land in the country now. We have the South China Sea, the Northeast China Sea, and after conquering North America, there's so much more land. Young people are willing to go to the city and are willing to go out and explore. Even if they fail, there's still land when they go back. After state ownership of land, everyone is very at ease. Since the land is guaranteed by the state, the government always has to be reasonable. "
Wei Kun had always been educated in the Party School for cadres, so he was not bad in theory. But now he found that Chinese people, especially young people who had been educated, were very knowledgeable. For some of the older people in the Party School, the land reform was a very big deal. However, for this group of young people, the land reform existed as naturally as air. From the time they could remember, the land reform had basically been completed. No matter how many people were cursing the land reform, the political books made it very clear that the land was owned by the people. Moreover, the Restoration Party of the Min dynasty had a very tight grip on these basic political ideas. This made Wei Kun sigh in his heart, "The ruling class and the construction of the Party are really the key."
At the end of the meeting, Wei Kun had to speak. He said slowly, "Comrades, this is what I think. For our fathers, the nationalization of land and the tillers having land was a matter of life and death. In their era, not having land meant starving to death. With land, there was a foundation for living. So they have their own views on the land reform and the state ownership of land. Some oppose it, some support it, and some feel that it is not enough. This is all a characteristic of the era. "
This group of young people had originally thought that this party meeting was a place to talk and vent. After the discussion, everyone had some communication, so there was a vague but indescribable feeling. Listening to Wei Kun's words, the comrades felt that it was very reasonable. This really solved a lot of the confusion they had about the views of their fathers and grandparents.
Wei Kun continued, "For people in our area, the countryside is not the only place we can settle down, and farming is not the only way we can make a living. Working in the city, in the factories, and in those state-owned enterprises, everyone feels that it is much better than working in the countryside. For us, the land reform is not a matter of living or not living. Farming is just a profession, and we hope that no matter what profession we take, we can make more money and live a better life. This is different from the problem our fathers encountered. We want to live a better life, and if all the policies can't achieve this goal, we won't feel that the policy is good. Don't you think so? "
"Yes! That's right! "
"That's right!"
The group of young comrades nodded one after another. Long-term hunger never existed in the memories of these comrades. Their goal in life was how to become useful people and live a good life. They didn't come to faraway Africa because they would starve to death, or because they wanted a better promotion, or because of a much higher salary than at home. In short, these people were thinking of ways to make more money and find more food. The money these people earned in a month was probably equivalent to a year's family income when their fathers and grandparents were farming. Understanding this, everyone felt that it was very rewarding. Their mood became very good.
"Denmark is not a big European country, so we don't know the views of big European countries. But one thing is for sure … "Wei Kun changed the topic to the original question," A country with a monarchy is not reliable in production! "
