"If you have 100,000 sheep and one or two ran away, what do you think will happen?" Chief Zhu of the Immigration Bureau asked a question.
"If they ran away, then they ran away." Lieutenant Qi Rui deliberately replied.
"If you only have five sheep and one ran away, what will you do?" Chief Zhu of the Immigration Bureau continued to ask.
This time it was the instructor's turn to be silent. Chief Zhu had already implicitly made it clear that the Immigration Bureau would not make any concessions on this matter. Chief Zhu had already roughly heard the instructor talk about Li Guangzu's younger brother Li Yaozu and his wife. He didn't mention this matter, instead, he encouraged the instructor, "I say everyone is engaged in construction here. If we immigrate to North America, we may not be able to earn 100,000 yuan in 5 years. But 10 years is definitely not a problem. We have built railways and roads, and the transportation will be very convenient in the future. I really suggest that everyone can encourage their families to come to North America to develop. Working here for 20 years is definitely equivalent to working in China for 50 years. If you really make money, you can go back and do whatever you want. You can even buy a good house when you retire. "
After persuading the instructor, Chief Zhu turned to Lieutenant Qi Rui and suggested, "Company Commander, our organization really arranges a wife for you, you can seriously consider it."
Lieutenant Qi Rui quickly replied, "Thank you. If the organization arranges a wife for me, I think it's better to arrange a wife for my family. "
"Isn't it fashionable to have free love now?" Chief Zhu joked, "From what you just said, I think free love is good. If young people want to establish a family business in a very short time, they have to come to North America. Only North America can provide such a good opportunity. No, I can't receive you two anymore. Right now, I'm going to look for our publicity department to do some publicity in this regard. "
Seeing Chief Zhu asked them to leave, Lieutenant Qi Rui and the instructor could only get up and leave. Lieutenant Qi Rui thought Chief Zhu was joking. He didn't expect Chief Zhu to really put this idea into practice. He wrote a short report and sent it to the Immigration Bureau. Lieutenant Qi Rui didn't expect that this matter was quite recognized by the Immigration Bureau, and it was immediately submitted to the central for discussion. Lieutenant Qi Rui's father, Vézé, also agreed with this.
"Let's make this into a radio series," Vézé suggested.
"Radio drama?" Many comrades did not quite understand.
Prime Minister Levis directly raised a different opinion. "An eloper appeared on a radio drama, and from what I heard from the Immigration Department, they actually want to publicize it. What would the masses think? Does our government support elopement? "
The military commission representative, Ruan Xihao, immediately retorted, "How can this be called elopement? They are legally married. A legally married couple responding to the country's call to explore North America. No matter how I look at it, it's not a shameful thing! "
Levis was very unhappy with Ruan Xihao's rebuttal. He said loudly, "We can think that way, but what will the parents think of our promotion? Two kids saying they want to get married, saying they want to leave, and saying they want to leave, is this a waste of time? "
Ruan Xihao was not moved at all. He said calmly, "For so many years, we have always been fighting for the young people. Starting a revolution depends on the young people. Conscription depends on the young people. In addition to hiring, we also rely on young people. Between the young people and the old people, I support the young people. "
Vézé was also a little surprised that the opposing opinions suddenly reached this point. What surprised him even more was that he didn't expect Ruan Xihao's idea to be so "advanced." To treat children as the country's wealth, this was the thinking of an industrial society. In an agricultural society, children were an accessory to the family.
"The masses won't accept it if you publicize it like this." Prime Minister Levis had no intention of admitting defeat. He continued to insist on his own opinion.
Levis didn't admit defeat, and Ruan Xihao didn't plan to admit defeat either. He also continued to express his own opinion. "The masses won't accept it? It's not the first time I've said this. In the past, parents kept their word because they couldn't live if they didn't follow their parents. Now, if they go to North America, they can live a better life on their own. What else do parents have to complain about? I'm not saying that children can disobey their parents when they have grown up, but I'm saying that when children have the ability to live on their own, they should be allowed to live the way they choose. "
"This is not the same thing at all …" Levis tried to stop Ruan Xihao's statement.
Ruan Xihao mercilessly interrupted Levis's words, "This is not the same thing at all! In the past, parents could kill their children, but try it now! This will be punished according to the crime of murder. The extent to which it can be enforced depends on the law, but from a legal perspective, the country has all the rights to define the boundaries. From a legal perspective, it's not elopement at all, but the young people's legal and reasonable choice of their own life! If the government doesn't even dare to say this, then what's the point of having a government? The people can just do it according to their own way. "
When the issue was raised to a political level, Levis suddenly realized that he couldn't refute it. It had been raised to a question of whether the country's law was higher or the people's tradition was higher. On this issue, the country's prime minister couldn't say that the people's tradition was higher than the government's power. Although on this issue, the group of parents among the people wouldn't support the children's free choice. Levis couldn't control other people's children, but Levis himself couldn't accept the children's resistance to this extent.
At this time, there was no way to refute it from a legal perspective. Levis's brain was working at a high speed, trying to find a more reasonable reason. This reason was easy to find. Levis adjusted his statement, "Our job is not to conflict with the people. The result of such publicity is likely to make the people feel that we are depriving them of their rights over their children. Would parents be able to accept it if they said nothing in front of their own children? "
When it came to reality, Ruan Xihao didn't back down at all. "Whether you have the final say or not depends on whether people are willing to listen or not. We're not talking about whether the parents can say anything to the children now, but whether the development of North America can only be implemented after the parents decide. This decision can't be made by others, it has to be made by those who are willing to develop themselves. When the rebellion happened, the parents really didn't want their children to go to war. But if no one goes with us, what are we fighting for? If we really followed what the parents thought at that time, we wouldn't be where we are today. How can the revolution win?! Now is the same as before, we support whoever follows us. "
Levis had known Ruan Xihao for 20 to 30 years, but he really didn't expect Ruan Xihao to be so good at talking. Ruan Xihao's attitude was now very clear. He firmly supported the action of developing North America. The purpose of developing North America was not only to make full use of such a large piece of land, but also to prepare for the war between China and the United States in the future. This was a strategic issue. However, Levis didn't think that such a strategic issue could completely overthrow the traditional concept of family.
The traditional concept of family was the foundation of China's society. If children gained unprecedented decision-making power and could act on their own with a little bit of ability, wouldn't China be in complete chaos? The complete collapse of the basic concept that maintained society would inevitably lead to the collapse of the status quo of society. Unable to win against Ruan Xihao in the discussion, Levis had to look to Vézé, hoping that Vézé could explain this. The only person in the Central Committee who could really make the final decision was Vézé.
Vézé was interested in this topic. This was the first time in more than 20 years that he saw the results of the social revolution backfire on politics. Unexpectedly, Levis, as the representative, tried to turn to Vézé for help. This made Vézé feel a little regretful.
Seeing Vézé's thoughtful look, Levis couldn't help but say, "Commander-in-chief, what do you think?"
Vézé first put out some basic principles. "Productivity is the fundamental driving force of society. In the past, family relations were coordinated with the productivity of the time. Now that productivity is developing so fast, it is normal for there to be huge changes. "
After listening to this basic principle, Levis was not too convinced. He said, "According to Commander-in-chief, the old family relations will change dramatically. Will the decisive role of parents in the family no longer exist? "
"Of course, the decisive role exists, but you have to see what the definition of this role is. In the past, in the countryside, children were the labor force of the family. At that time, fertility could not be controlled, so the older children took care of the younger ones. The younger boys began to work in the fields, and the younger girls made a fire to cook. Land was privately owned. Without land, there was no means of production, and there was no way to live a good life. Moreover, the ownership of land was based on private ownership. Families with many people could fight each other with force and obtain more ownership of land. This was the way of life 20 years ago. "Vézé described the social form in his eyes.
Ruan Xihao leisurely sipped his tea. This group of old fellows from Guangxi had all had the experience of fighting for land. Too many people had died in the fight for land and water in Guangxi. Wei Ze's words were already very warm and tender.
Vézé continued to talk about what he thought was the current situation. "Now the social ownership foundation is different, and the level of productivity is different. When young children go to North America, they don't need to rely on their parents. They can rely on the organization to get the means of production, and they can learn new production skills. The relationship between children and parents is only one of reproduction, upbringing, and education. When children become the labor force of society, the role played by parents is very small. If you still follow the old pattern, it will naturally not be in line with the current situation. "
