Countercurrent 1978 starts with the production team

"The most important thing at the moment is to solve the urban employment problem. I recently took a walk down there and took a look, and there are a lot of problems. Some people reported to me that some people who had been in the countryside for a short time have returned to the city, and those who have been in the countryside for a short time have returned to the city. Those who have stayed in the countryside for ten years have no way to solve the problem of returning to the city."

"Some young people wrote to me and said that they have two ideals. One is to be a postman and is willing to deliver letters to the masses regardless of rain or shine. The other is to work as a train conductor and is willing to serve passengers all over the world. Service. But I can’t help you with this.”

"With so many people returning to the city, there is another problem that needs to be solved urgently, and that is the housing problem. Many people have no place to live after they return, and they can only squeeze into a small public room with their families. Lao Chen, you have never seen this before. There are seven people living in a house with an area of ​​​​square meters, and the whole family is so crowded that there is no room for one person to even get into such a larger house."

……

"All in all, there are many problems that must be solved. There are so many young people who are in their prime years but have nowhere to go, with nothing to do and no career to seek. It's heartbreaking!"

After listening to Mr. Xue's heartbreaking speech, it was very moving.

Dai Lao also looked solemn and silent. As a master in the field of economics, he can see the essence through phenomena. In fact, any people's livelihood issues are economic issues.

Mr. Dai was silent for a while, gave up the tea cup on the table, motioned Mr. Xue to drink tea, and then said warmly: "Old Xue, don't be pessimistic, just solve the problems when there are problems. We have encountered many difficulties in history. It’s better to get through it anyway, you have to have confidence in the future.”

Mr. Xue also knew that he had lost his composure, so he smiled miserably. After taking a sip of tea, his expression softened a little.

As the director of the Economic Research Institute, he felt that he had responsibilities, so he was worried.

Chu Jianghe was also very touched. When it comes to the national destiny, it is also mysterious and mysterious.

At the crossroads of history, whether to go left or right, this choice is too difficult and the responsibility is too heavy for everyone.

However, every time we encounter a major crisis, someone in our nation will always stand up, turn the tide, show us the way forward, and lead us out of the predicament.

There are so many dynasties in history. Some dynasties may not have made any obvious mistakes, but have accumulated too many problems, and they will naturally die out.

The dust of the times is like a big mountain falling on anyone's head.

A slogan back then drove tens of millions of people to rush to the countryside. Now that these people have returned to the city, they cannot ignore it. How can we solve their food problem? This is the most important thing at the moment.

Because these things are not only related to the future of those young people, but also related to the happiness of many families and the stability of society.

If these problems are not resolved, trouble will occur.

At the moment, the country is in dire straits and has no ability to accommodate so many young people. If we only rely on the Labor Bureau to arrange employment, I am afraid that these people will overwhelm the Labor Bureau in an instant.

Seeing Mr. Xue calm down, Mr. Dai continued to ask: "I wonder if you have any ideas for solving the current problem?"

"I think we still have to find the root of the problem theoretically. There is no way out by studying a specific system in isolation. To solve the problem, we must start at the root. We must first find out where the root is!"

Mr. Dai nodded and couldn't help but applaud in his heart. He agreed with Mr. Xue's opinion very much: "You are right. It is not only necessary to treat the symptoms, but also the root cause. So where do you think the root cause is?"

When Mr. Xue heard what Mr. Dai said, he glanced at him with some dissatisfaction: "Let me tell you, Mr. Chen, the problem with you is that you are too cautious, and you hide things when you talk to me. It's very uncomfortable, but I understand, too. Do not blame you."

When Dai Lao heard this, he smiled awkwardly and laughed.

Mr. Xue continued: "The root lies in the ownership system. In the early stage, the state-owned economy can develop rapidly and solve most of the problems. This is how our current industrial base came about. However, as time goes by, This problem arises. The state-owned economy can only solve part of the problem, but it cannot solve all the problems. In my opinion, we still need to make a fuss in this area."

Mr. Dai was a little worried: "Old Xue, I understand what you mean. There are still problems in the theoretical circles at present. When talking about capitalism now, it is like talking about the god of plague. It must be completely extinct. I'm afraid it's not easy to do anything, right?"

Mr. Xue's expression was a little decisive: "I understand this, but I don't believe you can't see it. From the current point of view, leaving a little tail of capitalism and individual economy may have more advantages than disadvantages. First, we can retain a little competition and let the state-owned enterprises The economy will not be blindly arrogant and have less bureaucracy. Secondly, it can fill some gaps in the market and do some things that the state-owned economy does not want to do or is unwilling to do. Thirdly, this can also meet the needs of the market and satisfy the people. There is a growing need to facilitate people’s lives.”

Chu Jianghe also secretly clapped his hands and applauded. Mr. Xue was indeed a big boss in the economic world. In just a few words, he directly pointed out the problems existing in the current state-owned economy.

Mr. Xue paused and continued: "I think we still need to liberate our minds a little more. Isn't socialism superior to capitalism? Why can't socialism fail to do things that capitalist countries can do? The question is The reason is that we have too much control. Last year I saw an article in People's Daily. I don't know if you noticed it. It was about a village in Xiaohe Village. It actively developed the collective economy and used scientific means to develop breeding farms and obtain It has achieved good economic benefits, so I think this is very good.”

After hearing this, Mr. Dai nodded slightly: "I've seen this before."

When Mr. Xue mentioned Xiaohe Village and affirmed Xiaohe Village's achievements, Chu Jianghe, the deputy secretary of Xiaohe Village, couldn't help but smile shyly.

At this time, Mr. Xue was picking up his tea cup and drinking water. He happened to see his smile and asked aloud: "Young man, after listening for a long time, what can you hear?"

Dai Lao also looked at Chu Jianghe at this moment, his eyes full of encouragement: "If you have any ideas, please tell me."

Chu Jianghe knew that Dai Lao kept him here not just to serve him tea and water, but also to support him.

At this moment, he met Mr. Dai's encouraging eyes and Chu Jianghe, who had already made plans in his mind, said: "To be honest with you two elders, I am from Xiaohe Village and am currently the deputy secretary of Xiaohe Village. The breeding farm that Mr. Xue mentioned is the right one." It was built by me.”

After Chu Jianghe finished speaking, both Mr. Dai and Mr. Xue were surprised, especially Mr. Xue. He didn't expect that the rightful owner was right in front of him when he casually gave an example.

Mr. Xue quickly put down his tea cup, adjusted his sitting posture, and asked Chu Jianghe with great interest to introduce him in detail the development ideas of Xiaohe Village and the problems encountered in its development.

Chu Jianghe knew everything, so he told Mr. Xue in detail.

After listening to Chu Jianghe's introduction, Mr. What a good student!”

Dai Lao was smiling and looking proud.
