"Uncle, do you think we can get away with this?" Wei Changrong was worried about Vézé's methods. Wei Changrong knew about the state's backstop earlier than Levis. After inspecting the experimental fields and experiencing the power of synthetic ammonia, it was easy for him to accept Vézé's words about food surplus. After all, the fact that one mu could produce 800 kilograms was right in front of him. With such a yield as the basis, and with the help of elementary school mathematics, it was not difficult to calculate a theoretically feasible conclusion.
"I don't know what Ruan Xihao and the others think about their own importance, and I don't know if Ruan Xihao and the others think that if they sit on the ground, the earth will stop spinning. I only know that China must move forward. In another three years, more than half of these troublemakers will retire. As old brothers, we will take those who are willing to follow us back then. Times are different now. Those who are unwilling to follow the times, and those who are unwilling to participate in the advancement of the times, can just wait for the state to backstop them. "Vézé's tone was calm, but the content of his words was quite harsh.
Wei Changrong belonged to the group of people who followed the times. After following Vézé for so many years, he had witnessed the earth-shaking changes that had taken place in China. Wei Changrong only sighed, "These brothers are really stubborn!"
"Whether they are stubborn or not, the Central Committee has already played along with them. Next, it's time for the Central Committee to discuss the matter. Those who don't fulfill their obligations as members of the Central Committee can give up their positions to those who are willing to fulfill their obligations, and the Central Committee will only become better. "Vézé said slowly.
Wei Changrong suggested, "Uncle, I think you should say this to the committee members. During the meeting tomorrow, when you go on stage, just say it. You have endured for too long for the sake of your brothers, and now it's time to say it. "
"Oh?" Vézé was surprised by this suggestion.
Looking at Vézé's "innocent" expression, Wei Changrong couldn't help but sigh, "Sigh! Fourth Uncle, you are capable, but your heart is also soft. He always felt that no matter what happened to his brothers, he would be able to take care of it. He didn't want this group of people to be too unhappy. However, Fourth Uncle, how could they be in the mood to do proper business at this time? Some of them were so angry that they were probably thinking about how to regain their dignity. If you don't do something about it, they'll become even more aggressive and relentless. Although the brothers had reached this age, they couldn't be without results. But if you don't say anything, I'm afraid these people won't even realize it. "
Vézé felt that it made sense, but he still felt that it was not the right time to do so. Vézé really couldn't tell what exactly he was lacking.
Seeing that Vézé continued to remain silent, Wei Changrong continued to persuade: "Fourth Uncle, you are good in everything else, but you are too soft on your brothers. You never make a move unless it's necessary. I always feel that this is somewhat inappropriate. "
"Changrong, Li Shimin killed his brothers and set an example. Then the Tang Dynasty, the internal strife in the palace became extremely fierce. What the founders of any dynasty did represented tradition. I'm not saying that I'm soft-hearted, but there are some things that can't be corrected if death isn't a crime. If the people behind want to correct this practice, they must first overthrow the people in front of them. If the memorial tablet is overturned, the flag will fall. If the flag falls, what foundation will there be? "Vézé had his own insistence. The collapse of the Soviet Union was due to Khrushchev's roots. Comrade Stalin had many problems. Comrade Stalin was far from perfection. But liquidating Comrade Stalin was equivalent to liquidating the Soviet Union itself. The Soviet Union's cultural heritage was weak, and China's cultural heritage was far better than Russia's. Vézé didn't want to do such a stupid thing in the end.
Moreover, Vézé had his own arrogance. He had read a report in the past. The deputy director of the Archives said that there was nothing about Taizu that couldn't be made public. The reason why it couldn't be made public was not because it would affect the old man's image, but because it would affect the image of other leaders.
Vézé was still very young at that time, and he felt that it was simply outrageous to do so. There were so many people who defamed Taizu. How could he do this under such circumstances? When Vézé was now in his fifties, he finally understood that it was necessary to do so. If Taizu was still alive, he probably wouldn't object to such a practice. Since Taizu was open and aboveboard, he wasn't afraid of being criticized by future generations. Then what was wrong with Taizu taking on more responsibilities for his comrades? That kind of unforgiving approach, that kind of "I don't tolerate any slander" approach, was not the approach of a person who truly cared about the world. This wasn't because he had to compromise with his mistakes, but because society had to progress. Even if some people were defeated, what was the point of social progress?
The purpose of bringing up the past was to learn from the mistakes of the past, and to make the process of social progress smoother. If he was entangled in the past, or if he wishfully tied the past with a rope and dragged it to the present and the future, he would only make a worse mistake.
Wei Changrong was a few years older than Vézé. After listening to Vézé's words, he obviously didn't fully understand. Wei Changrong couldn't be blamed. In the 21st century, in the industrial era of China, what people saw and received was "revolution" and "reform." In general, people were looking forward. For example, Vézé believed that Taizong had many problems, but he was indeed a materialist and the successor of Taizu. Although this attitude might not be accepted by many people in the 21st century, Vézé firmly believed in it. At least when Taizong was on the stage, Taizu's flag didn't fall. When Taizong stepped down, Taizu's flag was also handed over to his successor. At the same time, the Soviet Union's flag really fell. And after it fell, no one was able to help it up.
"Fourth Uncle, I don't think it's appropriate for you to give way to this extent. You said that you want to set rules, and tolerating to this extent is also considered a rule. What should we do if something like this happens again in the future? "Wei Changrong voiced his opinion.
"Changrong, your work is very important. I want to ask you, are the new people selected by your organization at the same level as these old brothers? "Vézé voiced his opinion.
Wei Changrong thought for a while, and he somewhat understood. "If you put it this way, there really aren't any."
"The times are progressing, and the younger generation is stronger than the older generation. You can say that the older generation has experienced war and the test of life and death. Their personal determination, personal bravery, and personal decisiveness are unique to the era of war. These are things that the younger generation probably lacks. But from another perspective, their knowledge, their experience, and the things they have received from education are much more than the older generation. Now, any junior high school student will know Newton's three laws. You know how much effort we had to put in to teach this thing 30 years ago. At that time, whoever really understood these things was a treasure. "Vézé couldn't help but smile when he mentioned the past. Wei Changrong was already a very outstanding person, but entering the door of science had also made him suffer.
"If the old guys want to learn new things, they first have to break the old things that they have already learned. But the new generation would learn something completely new from the very beginning, and they would definitely make the same mistakes. This is the same for people in any era, but the mistakes they make will be at least a little more advanced. Just like now, no one will think that the sun revolves around the earth. Now, not many people think that we live on the same level of earth. Now, whoever says that 'the sky is round and the earth is square' is a joke. "
The times changed quickly, and Wei Changrong couldn't help but be silent when he thought about it. In a short 30 years, the changes in China every year could be said to be limited. But as someone who had experienced the two sides of the 30 years, Wei Changrong couldn't find the words to comment. This change was indeed comprehensive. The thick darkness and chaos that had covered the eyes of the people of China had dissipated at an alarming rate in the past 30 years. For people like Wei Changrong, who had traveled tens of thousands of miles and traveled hundreds of thousands of miles by train, the world gradually revealed its true appearance in his eyes. Those who had never moved more than a few hundred miles in their lives, through culture, education, newspapers, and the newly emerged radio, the world gradually unfolded in front of their eyes. Vézé had once sent those who were "full of poetry and books" into the endless abyss through the "Law of the Untouchables". But what followed was not the decline of culture. On the contrary, after those who used to be high and mighty were thrown into the garbage heap, the once uncultured people had become more knowledgeable than the once cultured people.
The people who didn't know where to find food to survive thirty years ago would soon face a situation where they couldn't even finish eating their food. It was really a dazzling feeling to look at the world from the two sides of the history. The difference between heaven and earth made it difficult for people to understand whether China before the revolution was in an endless nightmare, or the China after the revolution was intoxicated in an unprecedented dream.
"I don't care what the Central Committee thinks. The Central Committee is here to discuss problems. The previous topic has ended, and the next one is about to begin. No matter how important the previous topic was to them, they felt that they got what they wanted, or that they didn't achieve their goal, so they wouldn't let go even if they died. Things that end are over. One day is two days less. Those who should go down should go down. "Vézé said to Wei Changrong.
"What if they refuse to go down?" Wei Changrong asked.
"If they don't want to go down, we have to drag them down. And I think this is the case, for these old brothers to have come this far, at the very least, they don't lack something. If they really see that they will be abandoned if they don't go, they will still be willing to go forward. In addition, even if they don't go, do you think that the young people who have no experience in founding the country will really be interested in their qualifications? For the young people, the qualifications of the founding old fellows are a way for the old fellows to bully the young. They hate this deeply. "Vézé gave an answer to Wei Changrong.
