To outsiders, this may be a very absurd scene. All the high-level officials of the Kingdom of Kyrgyzstan gathered together and listened to a teenage child deliver a speech on the principles of state affairs decision-making.
Hua Zhen has just turned eighteen. Many of his words are naive and he looks very childish, but no one in the venue dares not to take him seriously.
When Huanxiang Industrial was first established, many people only regarded Hua Zhenxing as a "prince" who was the target of several elderly people's training. Although they were very polite to him, they did not respect Hua Zhenxing himself.
But today's Hua Zhenxing is different. He can become the chief instructor of Yangyuan Valley only because he is truly the founder of Yangyuan Technique.
Huazhenxing raised its own funds, personally trained personnel, and established the Yangyuan Shu Center. After this training system first took shape, it trained a large number of students.
In the special historical period of Kilili Kingdom, when civic education has not been restored, the Yangyuan Shu Center and the supporting New Alliance Study Classes have trained the personnel urgently needed by departments and institutions at all levels, and temporarily served as a talent selection system.
A staff member of a certain government department suddenly stopped going to work one day. It turned out that he had received his salary or embezzled public funds to go drinking. This may sound unbelievable, but it is not impossible in the country of Miles, and it is a big headache.
No matter how talented you are, if you want to become a first-level spiritual master, you must be self-disciplined and have qualified cognitive and learning abilities, otherwise the introduction to spiritual practice will be nonsense. This also ensures the basic quality of a public servant.
The country's original medical and health conditions were very poor, and the infection rate of various viruses was very high. If a person might die at any time, there was no way to entrust him with important responsibilities and train him for a long time.
Becoming a Level 2 Yangyuan Master will ensure that your body is healthy and your energy is abundant.
If you want to become a third-level Yuan Cultivator and reach the state of pure soul, let alone what magical powers you practice, the most important thing is to ensure that such a person has strong learning potential and understanding ability, and can continue to grow.
As for breaking through the four realms and becoming an intermediate Yuan Yuan Technique instructor, that is another level of talent. Currently, there are only about a hundred people in Jili Kingdom. Those first to third level Yuan Yuan masters with a larger base, in this special historical period
Played a backbone role.
Hua Zhenxing's achievements are not limited to this. He is also the most important founder of this new country. Therefore, when delivering a speech of this nature on this occasion, no one can openly question his qualifications, regardless of whether he fully agrees with his views or not.
This was a private internal meeting, and there were some words that might be most appropriate for him to say. For example, in his speech just now, he used Ciel as an example many times, and he did not mince words.
Only he could say this kind of thing, and he said it so naturally that no one in the audience, including Charles himself, felt there was anything wrong.
The schedule of this meeting lasted for a week, interspersed with group discussions and discussion of issues. It was only in the afternoon of the second day, but the content of Hua Zhenxing's speech actually had a comprehensive guidance nature.
There were many things that were originally supposed to be discussed by Charles. Hua Zhenxing decided to do this temporarily for two reasons.
First, after these two days of discussion, he found that the core purpose of each policy must be clarified. If the direction goes astray, it will be useless no matter how perfect the details are.
The second reason is that he doesn't want to take over Charles's position, and wants to leave the final summary of the meeting to Charles. He should clarify many topics first, so that subsequent discussions can proceed in the right direction, and Charles can make a summary better in the end.
.
Some people in the venue frowned and thought, some nodded repeatedly, and some took out pens and notebooks to take notes quickly, while Hua Zhenxing's speech continued.
"When it comes to decision-making in the economic field, the primary issue is people's livelihood, which is the food and clothing issue that Dongguo often talked about in the past few years. For Kilili Kingdom, it is a matter of survival. I will only mention a few points that require special attention in agricultural development planning.
First of all, with the current natural resource conditions of the country, can it support its current citizens? The answer is definitely yes. No matter how poor the country is, its population of more than 10 million can maintain a low level of self-sufficiency in normal times.
This is true!
Therefore, everyone must pay attention to this fact. Kilili Country is different from some countries. It has not relied on food imports for many years and has no conditions to import food on a large scale. However, it has the conditions to feed its citizens. This is different from many people.
Understanding is different.
In the past, the country exported agricultural and animal husbandry products overseas every year, mainly goats and dromedary camels. Although the scale was small, the small amount of foreign exchange earned was used to import high-end consumer goods.
The problems existing in agriculture are not only extremely low production levels, but more importantly, extremely low risk resistance.
In the past, once climate abnormalities or large-scale natural disasters occurred, it would lead to the spread of famine in local areas, which would lead to social unrest. This is what we must solve first.
Therefore, the specific goal of the first five-year plan in agriculture is to ensure domestic food supply and avoid famine in the event of abnormal weather or large-scale natural disasters.
The goal should not be too high. Even if we can actually exceed the target, we should not aim too high. We must not only solve the problem of total output, but also solve the problem of unified transportation and distribution structure of materials.
The agriculture and animal husbandry in Kilili Country used to depend on the weather and was very fragile. Once a famine occurred, it would be difficult to transport food from one place to another. Instead, some people would hoard it and take the opportunity to extort money.
After the establishment of the new alliance, it followed the model of the Fiso Port Agricultural Reclamation Zone and focused on building a grain and oil base in Banda City, reclaiming large areas of farmland. In the process of liberating the country, it suppressed a large number of evil elements and took over many plantations.
State owned and connected into pieces.
This is the completion of a land reform. The country has taken control of more than 90% of the farmland and plantations that can be cultivated on a large scale. This achievement must be maintained and cannot be rolled back.
Some people have proposed establishing a household responsibility system based on the Dongguo model. Many members here are not in favor of it, and I firmly oppose this proposal.
A few digressions here. I found that many comrades have two tendencies. The first is to copy Dongguo’s model in everything, because many senior leaders have Dongguan background. This kind of reference and learning is necessary, but it is also
It cannot be applied mechanically.
Dongguo's current development is very successful. Some people think that we can do the same in Dongguo. This is not only an illusion, but also an illusion.
Is there any other country in the world that can be as big as Dongguo, with such profound cultural accumulation, and such high quality of labor force?
And some people only saw the rapid development of Dongguo in the decades after the reform, but have you noticed the accumulation and preparation in the decades before the reform?
Such large-scale farmland water conservancy construction and social transformation not only plowed the country's land, but also smashed the country's old classes and plowed it all over again. The cost was quite heavy. Did the country have this process? In our country
Have you made up for the class?
The second tendency is that some comrades have overseas educational backgrounds and advocate learning from developed countries in everything.
This kind of thinking is not wrong, but if we use whatever model some developed countries use, we will use that model, and then we can be equally developed. This is no longer a fantasy, but a delusion that ignores the facts.
Because this is what Jili Country has been doing for so many years, I won’t go into details for the time being.
Let’s get back to the subject, let’s talk about agriculture. Unlike the Eastern Kingdom, the Kilili Kingdom does not have thousands of years of historical accumulation of farming civilization, and there are almost no people who have mastered traditional agricultural technology.
We don’t have too much historical baggage, nor do we need to stabilize rural society through family-based land redistribution and management, because we don’t even have a rural society in the traditional sense!
Historically, the colonists wanted to implement urbanization of modern industrial civilization directly on the basis of tribal society, and in the countryside they plundered the land of various tribes to develop a plantation economy. This is a legacy of the country itself.
It is useless for us to complain about history again today.
The household contract responsibility system is not in line with the actual situation of the country. If it is forcibly implemented, will we have a matrilineal clan society in the vast new villages? Moreover, this kind of segmented and fragmented agriculture comes at the expense of efficiency.
of.
According to the actual conditions, it is a more reasonable and feasible choice to concentrate on reclamation and operation of large-scale farms and plantations. The specific issue we want to discuss is how to set the goals of the first Five-Year Plan under this premise
.
A committee member from Huanxiang Industrial also mentioned during the lunch chat that the technology of directly synthesizing starch using carbon dioxide has appeared in Dongguo, and the efficiency is far higher than that of traditional agriculture. Should our research department also follow suit?
I think this is no joke. It is impossible for our agricultural research department to follow up on too many projects, but we can pay attention to this direction, even if it is only as a future technology outlook, but we cannot expect to have results now.
This should be a scientific research topic. I mentioned it in advance. The reason why I bring this up is because so far the most reliable starch-producing crop with the highest conversion efficiency is cassava, which is also the most suitable for the climate conditions of Kilili Country.
of crops.
We have great advantages in the production and processing of cassava, and have even reached the world's leading level. Everyone here should not belittle yourselves and think that the country is lagging behind in everything. In fact, we also have areas where we are leading.
Although the yield of cassava is much higher than that of various existing staple foods in the world, its use as a staple food has always had two limitations.
First, it is poisonous and cannot be stored well. It must be ground and soaked in a short time. This process is extremely labor-intensive. Therefore, in the past, people could only dig, cook, and eat now, and it was very difficult to barely fill their stomachs.
It's hard to do anything else.
The second limitation is that the taste is not good. In the past, it was simply boiled into a paste, and the nutrition was not comprehensive.
Now we can not only solve these two problems, but also solve them very well. Fiso Port Agricultural Reclamation Zone has accumulated sufficient experience in large-area concentrated cultivation of cassava, proper crop rotation and whole-plant utilization. The more important results are in processing
field.
Huanxiang Industrial has developed special equipment to collect and process large-scale cassava. After detoxification in an industrial way, it produces raw cassava powder that can be stored for a long time.
More importantly, we have also developed a variety of food processing methods, appropriately adding a small amount of other ingredients to improve the taste and nutrition, and launched a variety of noodles, steamed buns, flower rolls, bread and other end products.
We have produced more than a dozen types of noodles alone, and have promoted more cooking and processing methods to make the taste better and richer, and to improve the quality of life.
This agricultural technological achievement, including supporting cooking and processing methods, must be vigorously promoted nationwide. It ensures our food security. In addition to being used as rations, various products can also be used as raw materials for light industry.
The high yield and application of cassava have given us enough confidence to save more land in agriculture to plant other crops and develop animal husbandry and breeding.
Therefore, the first agricultural project that needs to be clearly implemented is to determine the planting scope and area of cassava, vigorously promote technology, and synchronize supporting processing plants and food promotions. However, this is not clear in the current outline.
There are also some comrades who have also realized the importance of agriculture and have put forward very radical development ideas. I think this outline almost always adopts this approach when it comes to agricultural issues.
The draft mentions that we must take advantage of the rare favorable conditions now, and more specifically, we can obtain assistance from the East, including technical guidance, special loans, and material assistance, and strive to fully realize intensification and mechanization within five years.
The great development of industrialized agriculture.
We want to engage in concentrated large-scale agriculture. Large-scale mechanized operations and industrial production are indeed the most suitable path. We must leave enough space for this path in planning, but it cannot be done this way!
In this outline, the plan is drawn up in quite detail. It counts the existing land area in the country that can be developed for large-scale planting. It also lists how many tractors, harvesters, water pumps, fertilizers, pesticides, seeds, etc. are needed.
List.
But I want to ask, does this plan serve the people of Guinea, or does it serve the international excess capital and excess production capacity?
We don’t have most of the things on this list ourselves, and we either rely on direct assistance or import loans. Let’s not talk about whether we can get all these things without investing the entire country’s credit resources on this.
Even if it happens, what will be the consequences?
Do we have so many operators of large agricultural machinery? Some people say that we can train them while working, but I am afraid they are too optimistic. Even if the operators can be trained, what about maintenance personnel? And we don’t even have maintenance technology or spare parts supply capabilities.
Some people also say that aid workers can be introduced, just like the Beiluo River Bridge and Lofogen Hydropower Station, and agricultural aid construction projects can also be introduced. But can we carry out so many projects, and can the main agricultural production in the country do this?
The money was borrowed from others, the operators were sent by others, the equipment and materials were sold to you, and the production and maintenance services were also provided by others... May I ask what we have done? Is it just to carve out a safe area on the land?
Reclaimed wasteland?
Can this kind of plan to gain something for nothing be able to solve the problems of people's livelihood security and agricultural development in Kilili Country? Think about it for yourself, is this realistic?
Many people may still not understand that if we can get these aids, no matter how much, there are obviously advantages to be taken advantage of, so why don’t we and can’t we take advantage of them?
This is actually the food plan assistance program provided by many international aid organizations to poor and backward countries, and it has also been provided to several countries. Member Liang Ziming here has also participated in such projects. What are the results we have seen?
Some people think that the reason why this program is not successful is that the aid is not enough, or the conditions attached to the aid are too harsh. There are reasons for this, but it is not only this reason.
If there is any difference now, it is that we have changed the target of help to Dongguo again and want to cooperate at the national level.
I have a set of data here, which is the world's total staple food production and the world's total population... Obviously, global food production can fully meet the needs of the global population, so food is only a local problem, our own problem.
No matter how much the world's total food production is, famines still occur frequently in many countries. Therefore, our agricultural development goals are first based on ensuring our own security, rather than participating in international production competition.
Even if the above plan goes well, we can calculate what we will get in the end? The designated farmland has been reclaimed, various equipment and materials have been imported, and enough food has been produced, but a heavy debt has been left behind.
That is a debt that we simply cannot afford to repay, even if it is an interest-free aid loan. We cannot afford to do so.
Can we use grain exports to repay debts? Is the grain we produce under this situation competitive in the international market? After deducting debt interest, procurement and maintenance of materials and equipment, hiring of personnel and other production costs, the economy will be a complete loss
of.
Do we need to protect our own people's livelihood by exporting grain to pay off debt? But without exporting grain at a loss, are we able to carry out such large-scale agricultural subsidies from other aspects? A debt crisis is inevitable.
Some people are aware of the loopholes in the plan and want to make up for it as much as possible, saying that they will strive for free and unconditional aid. Do you still want to be shameless? Even if this daydream comes true for the time being, what will the aid partners think of our greedy people?
nation?
Once we enter this mode, we will continue to rely on this mode. The equipment will always break down, and new fertilizers and pesticides will have to be purchased every year. We will never be able to afford the production costs, and we will never be able to develop.
If we were a well-intentioned partner, would we feel that there is hope in our aid investment? We would just feel that we are stuck in mud and cannot hold up the wall!
If we switch to a malicious partner, not to mention, we will not be left with anything that can pay off the debt, and it will only repeat the collapse of the Kingdom of Miles.
What is the solution to the future debt problem? If we break the contract and default on the debt, the little bit of national credit we have just restored will be exhausted, and the road to cooperative development will be cut off.
'Why should I pay back the money I borrowed based on my ability?' Many people here have this morbid thought, and it may still remain in their subconscious. But this is really not your ability, but the kindness, trust or other people's kindness.
There is an intention.
We must cure this disease, otherwise we will not be establishing New Guinea. We must not have this subconscious mind when making decisions, otherwise it will not benefit the country and its people, and it will be unjust and unhelpful.
If we want to repay, we can only sell assets. We only have those farms and plantations. Some of the state-owned assets we finally saved will also be controlled by excess international capital.
If it really reaches that point, let alone food security, even food production itself will be out of control. People can produce whatever they want and sell to whomever they want.
By then, I'm afraid no one will want to grow cassava, and all irrigation resources will be consumed to grow cash crops such as palm, and the profits will not be left for us to import enough food.
Many countries in Latin America, especially South America, have the best agricultural production conditions in the world, but they are all trapped in debt crises. Along with continued social unrest, governments have changed one after another.
What is the reason for this? Some people have even coined the term "Lami Trap". Our development level is still far behind those countries, so we cannot jump into this trap, especially at the beginning of planning.
Just dig a trap for yourself.
If it were another industry, it might just collapse, but if agriculture collapses, people will really starve to death!
If all of us here turn a blind eye to the hidden dangers, when this happens in the future, we will all be murderers, intentionally or unintentionally.
Some people may also ask, will it really collapse?
Not mentioning the above situations, I will just give you an example. What will happen if the international situation changes, such as being unable to obtain assistance, or there is a local conflict, or we are subject to blockade and sanctions for some reason?
In that case, the fertilizers and pesticides needed for agricultural production cannot be transported in, and the supply of oil for running machinery will also be lost. Large areas of land will be abandoned. If extreme weather occurs again in some areas, famine will occur!
These questions are not complicated. Even primary school students can calculate the answers. Don’t you all understand? It’s not that you don’t understand. The main reason is short-sightedness, because the problems are in the future and the benefits are in the present!
Some people are just lucky, thinking that if they do it first, maybe things will turn around in the future? This is the speculative psychology of gamblers. They put their chips down first and then talk about it. Maybe they will win as soon as the cards are opened?
There are still people who still want to use the simplest and easiest way to solve problems that really require hard work. In essence, they still want to take shortcuts and imagine that they can get something for nothing. But there are no such shortcuts in the world.
It is not ruled out that a few people have seen the benefits. By implementing such a plan, the person handling it can take the opportunity to make a lot of money. When the time comes, they can make a fortune and leave. As for famine, it has nothing to do with them?
Sorry, my words are rather ugly, I should control my emotions. I believe that most people have good intentions. They want to work hard and quickly, try to achieve the best results in the shortest possible time.
I suggest that we give up this kind of delusion of reaching the sky in one step. President Charles gave a speech "Labor Creates the World", which everyone here should be familiar with. We need to be down-to-earth to complete primitive accumulation.
What I just said is tantamount to denying the agricultural plan. This is not to deny everyone's hard work in formulating the plan, so the reasons must be made clear. I deny that it is the kind of consumerist industrial development idea.
Let me just say one conclusion here: The result of overdrawing the future can only be to lose the future.
The fewer things we own and the more overdraft in the future, the bleaker the future will be. So what is a more reasonable planning solution? The most important basic work is, of course, organizing the labor force for production under existing conditions.
Be self-reliant and work hard!
We do also need assistance and cooperation from the outside world, such as Dongguo. For example, agricultural technical guidance is necessary, and production personnel training is also necessary. The New Alliance has already done this in Banda City since the year before last.
Start accumulating from low-level construction, leaving room for continuous progress, so that every step of accumulation is effective and autonomous and controllable.
When it comes to specific projects, such as cassava planting and processing technology, we are already very mature and can also develop related equipment.
But what do we lack? We lack the industrial foundation to further promote it. This cannot be built in a day and can only be developed gradually. Moreover, with the size of the country, it cannot develop all industrial categories and the entire industry chain, and can only focus on key areas.
choose.
If there is an aid cooperation project, even if we invest our own limited funds, we will first introduce production lines that can produce simple agricultural machinery and equipment, such as tractors, as well as cassava harvesting and processing machinery developed by ourselves.
Moving up the chain, for example, a lot of steel and parts are used, which still need to be imported in the short term, but our related products can also be exported to other countries in the Black Waste Continent, striving to reach the advanced level of the Black Waste Continent.
Commissioner Tang Senzhi nodded there... You are right, we just need to selectively accept the transfer of some excess production capacity, and try to improve these industrial chains in the First Five-Year Plan including the subsequent Second Five-Year Plan.
The most important related field for agricultural production is water conservancy construction. These involve issues of industrial development. So let me talk about a few views on industrial issues. Related to this are issues related to diplomacy and financial markets..."
