Lin Sheng returned to Chengdu that night after the inspection in Xinjin. He kept locked himself in the office and had not come out for a whole day. Today, he called the secretary to call to inform the top leaders of the People's Party to hold an interim standing committee together. Xie Ping and Situ Ming, who was far away in Qingcheng Mountain, rushed back to Chengdu after receiving a telegram from Lin Sheng. The two of them were sitting in a small conference room near Lin Sheng's office. A cigarette was smoking one after another. The ancient bell hanging on the wall was ticking, and the hour hand was already pointing to one o'clock in the night.

They did not understand Lin Sheng's real intention to call them here, but they stopped the work at hand and arrived here on time. Just now, Lin Sheng's confidential secretary told them that Lin Sheng also notified Song Jin, the head and vice president of the State Council, Cai Mingyuan, the commander-in-chief of the People's Army, and Xie Zhixian, the governor of Guizhou who just arrived yesterday.

Lin Sheng, who was becoming more and more majestic, sat upright on the chair, and sat for a long time, making Lin Sheng's haggard face pale. His red eyes were covered with bloodshots, and wrinkles were clearly visible on his forehead. He put down the manuscript in his hand, covered his eyes with his hands and took a deep breath, and concentrated on checking and thinking, which made him feel tired.

I was still thinking about the pattern of the Southwest government. The Southwest government has always been committed to focusing on developing its own strength, especially the funds are tilted to the development of heavy industry. Light industry mainly relies on private capital to operate independently. It is politically protected under the Beiyang government and avoids involvement in the war between the Beiyang government and the National Government as much as possible. Even after the powerful Beiyang government Yuan Shikai came to power, the entire Southwest government did not interfere too much!

Most of the time, we strive to protect ourselves and maintain the entire political landscape of China. The most important thing is that Lin Sheng and Xie Ping are the dominant thoughts of the Southwest Government, who have no good feelings for these so-called revolutionaries in the Republic of China era, always had a stubborn rejection in their hearts.

They neither want to rely on their influence nor want them to participate in the construction of the Southwest Government. For this reason, Lin Sheng and others offended a large number of veterans of the Tongmenghui who stood on the side of national justice.

The confusion of the upper-level leadership's thoughts will inevitably affect officials at all levels of the Southwest government when in power, especially local governments at the border with other provinces, who do not know how to deal with some emergencies. Political uncertainty has also led to many conflicts between classes at all levels in the jurisdiction, and officials cannot apply effective criminal laws when dealing with them in accordance with the law. After all, there are serious contradictions between the local laws of the Southwest government and the National Law of the Beiyang government.

Lin Sheng was considering the idea of ​​unifying the thinking at the top of the Southwest government for a few months, which ruling ideas should the government implement, and the establishment of the regime ultimately relies on which class basis. He thought about it repeatedly for a long time, but he could not make this decision. However, he has not solved this problem for a long time, and the Southwest government has developed a bottleneck in terms of economic and political aspects. How to break this bottleneck is an urgent problem at present.

"Chairman, Political Commissar Xie, Mr. Si, they arrived half an hour ago," Secretary Yao Zhuqiang walked in lightly and reminded Lin Sheng.

"Oh! I've come early, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Lin Sheng said a little unhappy. After all, asking Xie Ping and Situ Ming to wait too long is not conducive to the unity of the entire team. It is misunderstood that there has been a rift between him and them.

Lin Sheng immediately cleaned up briefly. Some of the information he had at hand were top secrets. Even Yao Zhuqiang did not have the right to read some of the documents and materials in later generations.

After entering the small conference room, Lin Sheng warmly greeted Situ Ming and Xie Ping, especially inquired about Situ Ming's physical condition in detail. Among the more than 30 people who came here together, Situ Ming was the oldest, the oldest, the strongest in scientific research, and his noble character and magnanimous mind were all worth learning from.

"Old Si, I have to do this to disturb your cultivation this time," Lin Sheng sat down on the soft sofa and got into the exam. Situ Ming quit smoking due to his physical condition. He put the cigarette he took back and said with a little thought: "Although the Guangxi Battle that the government carried out a month ago was progressing smoothly, there were many problems in the rear!"

"I'm old, I'm seventy-one this year, and time is unforgivable! I don't understand political matters very well. I believe that you and Xie Ping can still control the general direction." Situ Ming suggested to Lin Sheng every meeting that he should withdraw from the leadership of the People's Party, but he was persuaded and persuaded by Lin Sheng and Xie Ping to keep him again and again.

"Old Si, what the Southwest government can do today is relying on the efforts of everyone, and it is inseparable from your contribution!" Lin Sheng had to say politely again: "With the increase in our territory, it has seriously affected the rule of the Beiyang government. Nowadays, there have always been different opinions within our ruling program. Whether to take the socialist path or the capitalist path has been thinking in my mind, it is difficult to make a decision. China has just stepped out of the feudal system, and intellectuals who have received higher education in China have basically received capitalist education.

If we force our communist path, we have to face obstacles and resistance from social elites. We can only rely on transfers to the working class and the vast majority of peasants. However, in that case, I think Mr. Si also understands the disaster brought about by the long-term class struggle!"

When Situ Ming and Xie Ping understood that Lin Sheng was inviting them to come today, but Situ Ming was just an excellent scientist rather than a politician. Xie Ping, who was born as a political commissar, was good at ideological education and did not dare to express his opinions on the political system casually.

A brief tranquility appeared in the conference room. "In the future, our country was still right in its socialist path. It can only be said that the leadership at that time was eager for quick success and instant benefits in order to completely solve the three mountains above the general public. Everything has two aspects of things, and right and wrong can be left to future generations to evaluate!" Situ Ming still agreed very much in his heart with the socialist path. Although the Cultural Revolution brought him various blows, it was inevitable that China at that time could be said to be the most honest and efficient government, and the crime rate was the lowest in the world.

"I understand what Mr. Si means, but we must also consider the environment we are in now. Communism is only a theoretical idea. This idea is common in Europe because Europe has the most developed industrial civilization, and the high cultural quality of industrial workers has bred communist thought.

Now, even if the number of people reading and literacy in cities is less than one-fifth of the total population, let alone the vast rural people. In addition, the vested interest groups are concentrated in the national petty bourgeoisie, and rash implementation of social changes is not conducive to the development of the industrial pattern."

Is Situ Ming's desire not what Lin Sheng expected? As Lin Sheng, who has been educated for decades of socialism, wants to follow the path of communist centralization no matter what.

"Chairman, Mr. Si, you actually make the problem too complicated. In my opinion, as long as it is conducive to the development of this stage, do not talk about any ideology or class, as long as you truly create conditions, improve the basic living conditions of the people, and meet the needs of the people, you can promulgate. As for which path you take, I think you can temporarily let it go." Xie Ping, who was thinking quietly, suddenly put forward his own opinions.

"Maybe what the great man said is right. No matter what cat, catching a mouse is a hero." Lin Sheng said a humorous sentence without missing the opportunity.

"It's easy to say, but it's difficult to do!" Situ Ming also laughed and replied with a depressed sentence.

"Yes! We have issued no less than a thousand temporary regulations in the southwestern provinces. Local governments have not done enough in this regard and have not implemented them in practice. The cadres we trained are far from keeping up with the demand. Originally, bureaucrats and gentry were still in a dominant position. They were basically completely denied the regulations that harm their interests. That's why I thought of clarifying the interests of the class, mobilizing the masses to actively stand up, and fighting for their own interests." Lin Sheng pointed out the disadvantages of the failure of government orders under the rule of the southwestern government.

"Well, regarding this issue, our army's Political Department received screenings from many local demobilized soldiers. Most of these soldiers were honorably injured and could not join the work. After returning to their hometown, they found that except for the fact that they could receive disability funds on time, the lives of ordinary people have basically not changed. The family still rents fertile land from the landlord's family, and the payer's high rent. After working hard for a year, the problem of food and clothing cannot be solved. It is heartbreaking to think about it." Every time Xie Ping thinks of the complaint letters from those disabled soldiers, he can't help but say angrily.

"Yes! Lin Sheng, you have considered it very well. When it is necessary to change, why do we come to this world together? Isn't it just to change the lives of the people? Now that we are arrogant, it is difficult to understand the sufferings of the people. We need to do our work more solidly and solve problems one by one. We cannot take this into consideration, and we are afraid that it will hurt the hearts of the people!"

The words of Situ Ming and Xie Ping are equivalent to disguised statements, supporting the Southwest government to follow the path of socialism in the future. In this way, they will inevitably defeat the landlord class, fully liberate the peasant class, and give the working class more power. If done, they will still respect Lin Sheng's opinions in the final right.
