The sun rose and set, the flowers bloomed and withered. In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed. Wang Mingshan's son had 'passed home twice'. His 20,000-ton iron ore ship had twice transported iron ore from Goa to Italy to be unloaded. Just as Wang Mingshan expected, those who only knew how to criticize didn't understand the heavy costs they had to bear. In the end, they gave up.
Wang Mingshan's speech. No matter how correct Vézé's words were, it was difficult for the people of the feudal era of an agricultural country to understand. At this age, Wang Mingshan realized that the Military Governor Of Vaize's way of thinking was never that of the feudal era of an agricultural country. No matter how deep the Military Governor Of Vaize's understanding of the feudal era of an agricultural country, he was not a person of that era. This was the case decades ago.
For example, Vézé once said, "Anything that can be settled with money is not difficult." This was the truth. However, Wang Mingshan realized that only a few people would face the problem in this way. For example, those who criticized the government, they never understood the huge costs behind the exchange of power. Only God knew how their parents educated them. In the eyes of those scum, it was as if the Min dynasty's local government was ruled by feudal princes, and the central government was an era where the feudal nobles monopolized power. After listening to the broadcast, these people should be able to understand what the Military Governor Of Vaize was saying to the people.
"Mingshan, your son is a fast learner." Grace leaned comfortably on the sofa and rested her calf on Wang Mingshan's thigh.
"You might as well say that he doesn't understand the essence and trends of the world." Wang Mingshan said lazily. He was also in his sixties, and was no longer the age where his emotions fluctuated so easily.
"He can understand the essence and trends of the world, but he hasn't learned how to operate it. He learned quickly in the past few months. I feel that you Chinese and Italians are the complete opposite, "the Marquise said thoughtfully.
"How so?" Wang Mingshan's interest was piqued.
"Italians are expected to have a trade to make a living from an early age, but no one teaches them what the world is like. The Chinese seem to be the opposite. They know what the world is like, but they don't know what they should do. "Grace tried to make her words sound realistic.
"My son refuses to be ordinary. He has high standards but little ability." As a father, Wang Mingshan naturally criticized his son.
"I don't think it's because I'm too ambitious. Thousands of years ago in China, there was a saying that 'a gentleman is not a tool'. In Italy, people are objectified. Either as the ruler, or as the ruled. In general, there is no freedom. But how could it be so easy for Ming Shan to be free? Although His Majesty Vézé's idea is excellent, it is still too far from reality. "Marchioness Glace continued to answer with words that were closer to the truth.
Wang Mingshan fell silent. Just as Grace and Wang Mingshan were about to fall into deep thought, Wang Mingshan opened his mouth. "What the Governor is promoting is not freedom, but liberation."
Grace was stunned. Her Chinese had improved rapidly in the past few years. Naturally, she knew that freedom and liberation were two completely different things. However, the word liberation was closely related to freedom. Grace didn't like it, so she didn't think too much about it.
"The Governor once wrote a poem. In it, there was a line, 'Dung was once the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households'. In fact, I have heard people ridicule the Governor in private. They say that the Governor's power and status far surpass that of the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households. Of course, he can treat the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households as dung. I have followed the Governor for dozens of years, but I have never felt that he was a person with power. I don't know why. After talking to you today, I understand that the Governor is a liberator. Whether we feel it or not, whether we like it or not, he has liberated us from the old society! As for how we go after being liberated, that is our own choice. "Wang Mingshan spoke slowly, but there was a genuine emotion that moved Grace inexplicably.
Wang Mingshan only understood the meaning of systematic liberation when he was in his sixties. Zhou Shuren, who was 40 years younger than Wang Mingshan, was currently writing a propaganda outline. "The days until now have proven one thing. Without those masters, not only did we not starve to death. On the contrary, everyone's lives were better. Everyone's food supply increased, and everyone's lives became happier. We have been liberated from the era of the masters, and the things that were taken away by the masters have returned to our hands. Recently, there have been people complaining about the role of the masters in promoting technology. In the past few hundred years, no one has purposefully promoted technology. Now that the people are the masters of the country and have established the concept of technology, there are people who are talking about the promotion of technology by the masters. This kind of argument must be countered. However, perfecting the establishment, application, industrialization, and remuneration of patents must also be promoted as soon as possible. Also, publicity must be carried out … "
Zhou Shuren wrote a lot of things that were targeted at the recent situation. After he finished writing, he did not change it according to his usual habit. Instead, he stood up, picked up a brush, dipped it in ink, and wrote on an old newspaper beside him, "This is not the same thing."
Ever since he started working in Hungary, the number of times Zhou Shuren had said "this is not the same thing" was much more than the total number of times he had said it in his entire life. This was not the same thing. After reading the history of China's revolution and then participating in the Hungarian revolution, Zhou Shuren understood that this was not the same thing. Culture, history, neighboring countries, and the level of development of productivity. China and Hungary were two different countries. Even if they took the same measures, the results would be different. If there were any similarities, one of them would definitely be the liberation of the people. What was this unquestionable proposition? If there were a thousand people, there would be a thousand kinds of people who had to be liberated.
However, regardless of what he thought about the theory of revolution, Zhou Shuren was certain that productivity was the domain of absolute materialism. The law of practice was that if you wanted to produce something, you had to invest it. Manpower and material resources could not appear out of thin air just by imagination.
"Minister Zhou," someone shouted outside the door.
"Come in," Zhou Shuren replied. From the voice, he could tell that it was the Hungarian Foreign Minister outside the door.
As soon as the young Foreign Minister came in, he immediately said, "Minister Zhou, now there are people who have begun to talk about collective farms. Can you say something about these people?"
Zhou Shuren could not help but be slightly speechless. There was an indescribable insistence on collective farms in Hungary. They thought that distributing land to the people was a great form of backwardness. Zhou Shuren could not understand why these people were so excited. The great Comrade Vézé also handed over the land to the people to cultivate in those years. In Asia, where land cooperative management was implemented, or family farms that employed a large number of professional workers, a large part of the power itself was handed over to the people to decide. It was understandable that the Hungarian people thought this decision was backward. However, Zhou Shuren could see that the Hungarian people did not seem to be interested in collective farms at all.
"From what I see now, those who support state farms are probably interested in the agricultural products that are produced. If the taxes are too high, the Hungarian people will definitely not be happy. Adopting the state farms method will allow them to receive more food. " The young Hungarian Foreign Minister was himself a farmer, and what he said made sense to Zhou Shuren.
Although it made sense, Hungary had recently received a lot of support from the Min dynasty. They needed to invest a large amount of steel and other metal materials in the industry. Hungary, which did not produce these raw materials, was a landlocked country. The best port for transportation was Croatia, which was controlled by the royalists. If they wanted to import from Austria, they needed a large amount of Austrian currency. Exporting food was the best way.
Thinking of this, Zhou Shuren had to admit the fact that the situation was stronger than people. The Min dynasty did not have this kind of pain of being blocked. All the raw materials were available in the Min dynasty. In addition to raw materials, the Min dynasty also had a long coastline and a large number of ports. The possibility of blocking the Min dynasty no longer existed. Even if Hungary had a socialist system, there was no way to solve the problems shown by the system alone. This was also the current state of materialism.
Faced with such a dilemma, Zhou Shuren replied, "I think it's better to take out the difficulties and talk about them face to face. We should treat our comrades as warm as spring. Just blaming our comrades does not help solve the problem. "
When the regular meeting was held, the Minister of Foreign Affairs did not hesitate to bring up the recent problems. The Hungarian government had already attacked the radicals once. This time, when the Minister of Foreign Affairs mentioned the problem of the radicals again, everyone's face did not look good. But it was not good. The Minister of Foreign Affairs did not blindly raise the issue. Instead, he brought up the practical problems. "The construction of factories is very important, but it may not be really good to force it. At least I think we should work harder and cooperate with the comrades of the Min dynasty to solve this transportation problem. After all, we killed so many people in Croatia. It's understandable that they have resentment in their hearts. "
"Are you blaming the Red Army?" The comrade in charge of the Red Army was not happy. When the Hungarian revolution was besieged, the Croatian royalists also intervened and sent 50,000 troops to attack Hungary. These 50,000 people were surrounded and annihilated by the Hungarian Red Army. The Hungarian Red Army was worried that the Croatian royalists would continue to participate in the siege. In the end, the young prisoners were released and the other prisoners were all shot.
The decision was made by the Central Committee of the Hungarian Red Army at that time. At that time, there were objections. Some people thought that a prison camp could be built to hold these prisoners. But at that time, the domestic situation was extremely unstable. Most people in the Central Committee did not think it was worth the risk. Now the Croatian region completely supported the Austro-Hungarian Empire and was extremely hostile to the Slovak People's Republic of Hungary. This could not be helped.
"I don't want to blame anyone. I'm just talking about the current situation. It's a fact that we have shot so many Croatian royalists. It's also a fact that our transportation through Croatia is now restricted. "The Minister of Foreign Affairs explained.
"How can you prove that there is an inevitable connection between the two?" The comrade in charge of the Red Army asked with a frown.
The young Minister of Foreign Affairs also frowned. These two things seemed to have a major connection. How could there not be an inevitable connection?
"Let's use diplomatic work to determine the real reason why we can't smoothly transport through Croatia. We also have to use diplomatic work to see if the transport through Croatia is our best transport route." The Minister of Propaganda, Zhou Shuren, said.
