Chapter 39

The newly built government office building in Chengdu is a five-story office building with a quaint appearance and a modern interior. The building has the most advanced office equipment in the country, each room is equipped with telephone communication equipment, and each staircase has a dedicated telegraph room and printing room, and a special document division office is specially provided.

Cai Mingyuan, Vice President of the Government, is located at the innermost part of the third floor of the building. The facilities in the office are simple but not without solemnity. A four-meter-long and three-meter-wide desk with a rotating leather sofa with a high backrest, behind it is a row of tall bookcases, and the outer room is a small secretariat. With the increase of power of the Southwest government and the expansion of territory, as the vice president of the Southwest government, the power of the Southwest government is bound to be pushed to the top. He was born in Xinjin and was surrounded by many villagers in the village, each of whom he made his own requests, hoping that he could take care of Xinjin's local enterprises in business.

"Brothers are the vice president of the Government Council. You are all knowledgeable people in Xinjin. They are very grateful for their efforts in donating money or paying taxes! This time, the Government Council issued a minimum wage standard for employees. This is a helpless move. Workers need wages to support their families. Some bad businessmen want to lower their wages. What do you think?" Cai Mingyuan pushed out the main contradiction with Tai Chi.

The Southwest government has forcibly issued a minimum wage standard to ensure the working employees, and its internal opinions are not very unified. At least Cai Mingyuan's thoughts have not changed. However, as a landlord class and owns a large amount of land, in order to respond to the government's call, he donated the land for free to the government and devoted himself to industrial and mining enterprises. With the rapid development of Sichuan's economy, a large number of factories sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. In terms of output, intensive production has further insulted the fragile economies of other provinces in terms of output. As vested interest groups, they have set up their own commercial clubs to coordinate internal conflicts. At this point, the Southwest government has no ability and energy to intervene in the past. Fortunately, the government firmly controls important industries such as steel, energy, chemicals, and medicine.

"Tai Gong, Xinjin is the birthplace of the People's Army. It should have been supported when the government issued an announcement," a gentleman from the textile industry raised his own objection after Cai Mingyuan finished the topic: "However, the government sets the minimum wage standard so high at one time, and it is difficult for enterprises to bear it at once. In addition, the employment of enterprises is self-employed. If everything is guided by the government department, the cost of the enterprise is too high compared to other provinces and the competitiveness of the finished product is not conducive to the healthy development of Sichuan's economy."

A few words made everyone here nod and said, "Cai Mingyuan actually knows that raising workers' wages is definitely a great thing for the whole of Sichuan. However, if you want to ask these capitalists who are addicted to exploiting to give up their interests in an instant, they will inevitably be strongly resisted. Lin Sheng and Xie Ping were prepared for this, so they gave this problem to Cai Mingyuan as if they were beaten up. Or did they swear that who told you that Cai Mingyuan made a fortune by relying on the company? Understanding the business model and operating costs of the company is strongly contrasting and persuasive.

"Ming Gong's meaning, I understand! However, Ming Gong's view of problems cannot be limited to immediate interests. At present, our Southwest government is committed to following the Western powers and vigorously developing industries. It requires a large number of qualified and skilled workers. It is difficult to meet the needs of rapidly developing enterprises through national financial resources alone. In the minds of the people, the idea of ​​focusing on agriculture and commerce is quite serious. In addition, it is also for everyone's sake. It is said that the wages are paid, and the level of mass consumption has increased indirectly stimulated the demand for factory products by merchants." Cai Mingyuan patiently persuaded all the owners of factories and mines with a smile. After that, the merchants raised many issues that they were concerned about, and basically received relatively satisfactory explanations.

Cai Mingyuan forced a smile and sent away a group of such chamber of commerce masters, and brought them to the office door to report to Lin Sheng on the issues at hand. Many decisions still require Lin Sheng and Xie Ping to nod. They always make Cai Mingyuan feel invisible fear and admiration deep in his heart!

Lin Sheng sat at his desk and carefully reviewed the manuscripts at hand, looking at the reports on government economy in his hand. Combined with the data obtained from other channels, it showed that Sichuan's economic development has entered a relatively stable equilibrium period. Last month, the total industrial output value had reached an astonishing 600 million oceans. The laws of economic development told Lin Sheng that it was time to issue the Southwest government's own currency. However, the Southwest government has not publicly separated from the Beiyang government. In theory, legally speaking, there is no right to issue currencies independently. If the own monetary system is not implemented, the monetary policy based on the great powers will inevitably invisibly exploit the economic fruits of the Southwest government in disguise.

The financial system has always been the most troublesome system for the ruling class. If the financial system of the southwest government has been improved and improved, Lin Sheng has always been a problem that he is thinking about. The American financial system, European financial system, socialist financial system, etc. have all had fatal flaws, or they may simply adopt a hodgepodge method in this world and establish a new and independent financial supervision system in combination with the situation of the southwest government. Lin Sheng played with the pen in his hand and stared at the report submitted by the Ministry of Finance of the State Council, "Temporary Contract on Strengthening the Standards of Financial System Access".

"Chairman, Vice Chairman Xie is here," the secretary outside knocked on the door and came in to report.

"Please," Lin Sheng stood up as soon as he heard this, left the desk and prepared to go out to greet Xie Ping. After discussing with him many times, he went straight to the office if he had something to do. There was no need to make the relationship between his comrades unfamiliar with superiors and subordinates. Unfortunately, Xie Ping just listened and did not comply. The high position was too cold!

With a simple and refreshing Zhongshan suit and a short and lean buzz cut, Xie Ping pays great attention to his appearance at any time. He shows his smiling face in front of outsiders, his capable temperament and full spirit affect the crowd around him at all times. Xie Ping was very pleased to see Lin Sheng go out to greet him in person. He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Chairman, I'm not here to see you, some things you need to decide on in person."

"Old Xie! Why do you say to me? As time goes by, I don't want to become a lonely person." Lin Sheng smiled and implicitly criticized Xie Ping's practices. At the same time, Xie Ping's blindly improving his prestige in the party, army, and government is still clear, but he cannot accept it emotionally for the time being. The place where a person's eyes can see is too small, and the higher the power, the less the real side you can see. In order to highlight the performance of his loyal subordinates, they always cover up some of their flaws.

"Chairman, this is a combat report summarized by Guangxi," Xie Ping kept listening to Lin Sheng's teachings with a smile. After the two sat down on the sofa, he handed over the documents in his hand, avoiding the sensitive issue of Lin Sheng's separation from the masses. Whether in ancient society or modern society, senior leaders always wanted to serve the people with all their hearts and strengths. The bad thing lies in the greed of low officials and the official-oriented thoughts, which can also be said to be a disadvantage under the education of Confucianism among famous Chinese nations.

Lin Sheng took the document and read the content in detail. He originally planned to come to Guiyang to take charge of the command. Later, he thought that if he went there, it might be that his personal factors would interfere with the unified deployment of the General Staff's combat plan. After all, he gave up this idea. After all, he was in a different position. With a higher position, he saw a broader situation and more complete concerns and ideas. Let's let go of the following things! No subordinate likes a leader who cares about everything.

"The General Staff meant to delay the Liberation of Guangxi. The combat effectiveness of the Gui army was insufficient before. In addition, the equipment of our army was basically not very mechanized. The terrain in Guangxi was complex, the roads were narrow, and there were no roads in some mountainous areas." Xie Ping thought for a while and said with a smile: "The Yunnan troops in the South Road can only restrain one part of the Gui army, and several brigades of our army were not in place on the North Road. The Special Division of the Central Road Army arrived north of Nandan County and the newly formed first. The Sixth Brigade formed an encirclement to encircle and annihilate the three divisions of the Gui army. The Gui army governor Lu Rongting, who was in Hechi, was about to curse."

"Haha, I heard that in order to understand that the first regiment of the Sixth Brigade was surrounded, the Air Force was used." Lin Sheng did not intend to pursue the dispatch of the Air Force. According to the order of the Supreme Command in advance, the dispatch of the Air Force required the documents signed by Lin Sheng, Xie Ping and Situ Ming to be valid. Xie Ping bypassed Lin Sheng this time, and Situ Ming directly signed the signature of the Air Force and ordered the dispatch of fighter jets to violate discipline. It was just for Lin Sheng's personal interests, but it was a bad start.

"I will bear all the responsibility for the issue of sending the Air Force privately," Xie Ping knew that he would need to pass this level sooner or later, and he would bear all the mistakes very happily. After all, Lin Sheng would not do anything to himself. If the Air Force asked him to bear it, it would be difficult for the people below to do it.

"Situ, he is a scientific researcher, military and political person, and has weak ideological ideas. Xie Ping believes that you understand that we cannot cultivate generals who use troops privately in the team. We must always follow the principle of the party commanding guns." The more Lin Sheng thought about it, the more angry he felt. He wanted to give the entire military system a wake-up call through this matter. Discipline is discipline, no one can tell.

"Xie Ping, see if we can form an effective leadership team. Now, the leadership of the Southwest government is a bit chaotic, and there are too many places where functions overlap and intervene. With the rapid development of the economy and the improvement of the cultural quality of the people, it is necessary to delegate power underground and better mobilize the enthusiasm of the people." Lin Sheng's words made Xie Ping sweat in a cold sweat, thinking in his heart whether Lin Sheng wanted to carry out a cultural movement!

Looking at Xie Ping with his face changing, Lin Sheng also guessed his inner concerns and smiled without saying a word. He knew that Xie Ping needed time to digest and figure out the inner meaning. Any capital development is based on cruel exploitation. The Southwest government can be said to be the freak of the times. The public-owned government has a basic enterprise that is fully controlled by the public government, and the military-industrial enterprises implement a planned economy, thus protecting the basic interests of the working class. In order to develop rapidly, the private-owned light industry, food, commerce and financial systems inevitably lower the wage standards with the rapid growth of labor. They have created two irreconcilable opposition classes, which have brought great hidden dangers to the entire government in society.

After considering how to eliminate this hidden danger and eliminate confrontation, Lin Sheng could not make up his mind to solve the problem. He knew that once the government clearly favored the working class, it would inevitably lead to a large number of funds fleeing Sichuan and causing an inevitable collapse of the fragile economy. Blindly squeezing the people would inevitably make the merchants bigger, seriously interfere in government behavior, and at the same time breed serious collusion between officials and businessmen. In the case of officials not in business, businessmen not in business, this sentence was a rule that Lin Sheng emphasized at the founding meeting of the People's Party that must be respected.

"Okay! I'll do it for how to straighten out the government and the responsibilities of the army!" Xie Ping said calmly: "As for strengthening the construction of the party's military, I think you should be responsible for it yourself! If you have time, you should go to the army more."

"Well, now we can say that the country is in the middle of the country. The central leadership of the Party cannot be the only two of us. We need to absorb other comrades to participate. Do you think we are forming a Central Standing Committee? There are not too many personnel. I plan to hold an enlarged meeting of the Party Central Committee next month. Military division-level cadres and local governments at or above the municipal level will attend the voting." Lin Sheng's proposal did not receive Xie Ping's approval.

Xie Ping's forehead wrinkled and said worriedly: "Lin Sheng, you have considered whether the people selected are inconsistent with us in terms of thought and dealing with problems with the old mentality will hinder our career."

"Oh!" Lin Sheng rarely heard Xie Ping call his name directly, and said with emotion: "Brother! Maybe we, a group of people, have always looked at the world with a colored perspective, always standing at a high place and looking down at them, not really looking at the problem with reality, as if dozens of us can do everything and are everywhere. It is time to change this situation, absorb the elites of society, make up for the shortcomings of our existence, and better serve the country's construction." Xie Ping also nodded with deep emotion and came to this parallel world.
