There were indeed economic conflicts between the provinces, but before Wei Ze wrote an article titled "Economic Conflicts within the Country at the Current Stage", everyone paid more attention to a few products in reality. Time was tight, so Vézé didn't talk much. All the main points were about the imbalance in the industrial development of the provinces. After reading the article, the representatives of the party congress, the government, and the National People's Congress all felt enlightened.
The core of a modern industrial country was to control all transactions as much as possible. According to the latest data, more than half of the social trade in China was in the hands of the government, or at least through government-controlled channels. Various large industrial enterprises relied on water and railways to dump their products to the areas controlled by the new government. Exploded?? Yan? Lei? Zhi? Zhi? Xi? Stunned? How many? What do you mean?
In Wei Ze's eyes, such a change was just a drizzle, but in China in 1867, it was an earth-shattering change. The small-scale peasant economy was disintegrating at an unprecedented rate. The industrial provinces used their industrial advantages to suck blood from other regions through light industrial products. The newly born industrial workers were paid by the state, while the agricultural workers were under the heavy pressure of industrialization.
As long as their production level and industrial strength didn't change, the economic imbalance between industrial and agricultural provinces would continue to be maintained. This wasn't a problem with one or a few products, but a problem with the industrial capacity of each province. Of course, the provincial representatives had no reason to contribute to other provinces willingly. Hubei's representative publicly declared, "We can't let Guangdong keep sucking blood from Hubei."
The governor of Guangdong, Pang Congcong, immediately retorted, "You can't always talk about sucking blood. Where did Guangdong's contribution to the revolution go? Which part of what we have today was supported by Hubei? Hubei's industry was supported by us from Guangdong! "
"Without the commander-in-chief leading everyone to do construction in Guangdong, Guangdong would have nothing!" Hubei's representative immediately retorted without hesitation.
They were all people from the battlefield. Even death couldn't scare them. Who was afraid of who in a quarrel? The quarrel became more and more intense. In the end, even the secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, Wang Mingshan, couldn't help but join in the quarrel after hearing the words of the representatives from Hubei and Hunan.
The quarrel expanded from industrial standards to specific projects, and finally turned into a territorial attack. "Cantonese people only know the nature of doing business" was released, and it became a counterattack of "Hubei is full of nine-headed birds". Although Hubei Provincial Party Secretary Zheng Jiajun is from Guangdong, and Guangdong Provincial Governor Pang Congcong is from Hubei. However, when it came to AoE attacks, everyone didn't care so much.
Finally, the one who jumped out to suppress them was Premier Bi Qingshan. Premier Bi Qingshan's face turned a little green when he berated both sides. In order to suppress the cries of injustice, he had been talking with the provincial representatives and cadres day and night. Seeing that Bi Qingshan was really angry, the two sides finally calmed down. However, in the past few days, the representatives of the two provinces had been looking at each other with their noses in the air, and their resentment had not been resolved at all.
When Prime Minister Bi Qingshan and a group of comrades in charge of discipline asked Vézé to step out and suppress the situation, Bi Qingshan complained that Vézé's article was adding fuel to the fire.
"We have to tell the truth! Comrades, we must tell the truth! "Vézé didn't have the slightest intention to reflect on himself. Seeing Vézé's attitude, Bi Qingshan's heart was boiling with anger like a volcano. He didn't rush up to beat up Vézé, which could only be said that he had really become a lot more tolerant.
Vézé, who was the initiator of all this, took it calmly and continued to say shamelessly, "The new government has opened the lid and exposed the current situation in front of everyone. This situation should have led to a strong conflict, but it didn't further intensify the confrontation, because the new system at least prevented the people from starving to death. If this situation is only temporary, the overall living standard will continue to improve, and these contradictions won't be a problem. If the economy stagnates, then the accumulated problems will set off a storm! "
Bi Qingshan heard this and snorted coldly, "Your Majesty, if you don't expose this problem, and if you don't say it clearly, I think we will not oppose each other."
Vézé waved his hand, "Of course, some contradictions will not immediately erupt by lying, but lies are lies, and the contradictions will not change. What we need to worry about now is that we can't tell the truth, just like a doctor who doesn't know the cause of his illness. If he really knows, then we can start to solve the problem. "
Now the doctor in charge of the economy was undoubtedly Vézé. Bi Qingshan rolled his eyes, "Does Your Majesty have any good ideas?"
Two days later, the special discussion hall was full of seats.
"Is it cheaper to transport soap or palm oil? That's the question. " Vézé's tone was quite similar to the famous line in Shakespeare's Hamlet, "To be or not to be, that's the question."
The provincial representatives who had already opened the daily chemical industry sat on the right side of the special discussion hall, and the provincial representatives who had not opened the petrochemical industry sat on the left side of the discussion hall. They had different positions and expectations. No one was pretentious, and their attitudes and positions were clearly distinguished.
Vézé looked at the people on both sides, and he said with a smile, "Now I want to discuss a problem with everyone. The palm oil production is not high, and instead of talking about distribution here, why don't we first form a representative to propose to the palm oil production area to see the situation? The plan I can come up with now is very simple. In the future, the increased palm oil production can be transported to other areas. This won't take too long. On the contrary, the problem of increasing production is the problem we need to pay attention to now. "
Solving the so-called contradictions by increasing production was basically nonsense. Even though Vézé did not have much economic knowledge, he was very clear about this basic principle. However, Vézé was not at ease about the development of the palm oil production area, although the report of the Lanfang area was always "in progress, working hard." But what exactly happened there, what the specific difficulties were, and what the long-term prospects were, Vézé could only look at the report now.
If a group of people who were very eager to increase the palm oil production could go and see the situation, it would be closer to the truth than any supervision agency. It was a problem for officials to cover up for each other, but once there was a conflict of interest between officials, and it was a very opposite conflict of interest, the intensity of the struggle would increase.
No one saw through Vézé's "treachery." At least at this stage, the provincial representatives who were very eager for the daily chemical industry were very supportive. "Your Majesty, please arrange it as soon as possible!"
Vézé once heard a saying, "More than 99% of all family problems are money problems." In fact, it was a problem of interest. Without money, everything would be sad. Having money in the wrong way could cause a storm in the family. An emotional attitude like self-esteem would lead to strong opposition.
This was the case for families, and it was the same for the country. To solve the problem, the best way was to make the economy bigger and stronger. China's science and technology had made great progress in the past ten years. It was the United Kingdom, France, and other scientific concepts that were barely introduced into China's "scientific community." If there was such a thing as a "scientific community" now. A lot of basic experiments had been done, and some production processes were finally a concept for enterprises. The people in the factory could also admit that "management" and "managing people" were two different things.
It was unrealistic to expect "black technology" to appear now. The best way was to expand the territory and increase production. The plantations in the South Sea were undoubtedly the best way.
"Comrades, I think everyone now knows that we are going to start the five-year plan in 69. Why not this year, why not next year, but the year after? Because we have to do publicity in the next year. The five-year plan was not a simple thing to do. The five-year plan included everyone's understanding of the country. The first ideological foundation of the five-year plan was to eliminate feudal thinking. We couldn't draw a prison, and we couldn't hurt our neighbor. Did being the governor of Guangdong or Hubei make you the King Of The East or Hubei? In addition to the work of the province, there was also the problem of the country. One of the core of the five-year plan was to unite the whole country, and not to do things their own way. Now everyone knows where some of the problems are. During the preparation period, I believe we will see more problems. What we need to do is to unite, overcome difficulties, and solve problems. Unite! Only by uniting can we win! "
Among the many sayings of Vézé, this one could be ranked in the top ten for the time being. The provincial representatives all had their own ideas. The provinces with stronger industries felt the determination of the other provinces to catch up and were naturally under a lot of pressure. The provinces with weaker industries didn't even have time to develop their own industries because they knew the industrial level of the other provinces. They didn't have enough confidence in developing their own industries.
After the meeting, the Guangdong representatives discussed, "Every province's situation is different. If we do this, won't the governor let us live?!"
The Hubei representative discussed, "It would have been better if the governor had done this earlier. It's not too late to liberate Hubei. If he had built some factories in Hubei earlier, we wouldn't have today's trouble!"
Regardless of whether the industrial strength was strong or weak, and regardless of the difference in the content of the discussion, they were all quite dissatisfied with Vézé to a certain extent.
When Premier Bi Qingshan returned home, he found that several national representatives of Hubei Province were waiting at his house. Looking at the group of people sitting neatly on a row of stools by the wall like primary school students, he felt a burst of displeasure in his heart. In the past few days, the rumor that there were plans for industrial construction in various places in the five-year plan had been spreading. All the provinces were trying to find out more information. However, the content was made by Vézé, and Bi Qingshan was just an executor. They had found the wrong person to look for.
