After Li Zhen and Shi Dakai had an exchange, it took a while for Shi Dakai to calm down.
Shi Dakai returned to the topic and asked: "How many days does the president plan to stay in Chengdu when he comes?"
Li Zhen smiled slightly and said: "Long stay."
"Ah~~"
Shi Dakai exclaimed, his face full of astonishment, and he lost his voice and said: "The President has come to Chengdu, so what about Guangzhou's industry? Even if Guangzhou's industry is on the right track, what about the national industry? When the time comes, the President will have to Taking into account the general dispatch of population, agriculture, and transportation, and also focusing on agriculture and industry, it will definitely be too busy to take care of it."
Li Zhen chuckled and said: "Population and transportation are progressing smoothly, and Hu Linyi is supporting the industry. I don't have much to do. I can give you some help when I come to Sichuan."
Shi Dakai shook his head resolutely and said solemnly and seriously: "President, please rest assured that my body will recover in a few days. By then, I will finish the agricultural matters. Because Sichuan is located in a remote place, even in the land of abundance, But it is also a relatively difficult place. If the situation in Sichuan is handled well, it will be much easier for the other provinces."
Li Zhen said firmly: "Don't tell me that it will take a few days to recover. Liu Jintang said before that your injury will take at least another half month to recover. In the next half month, you must not Go out and recuperate."
Shi Dakai glared at Liu Jintang, then smiled and said: "President, I'm fine."
He rubbed his neck with a stubborn expression on his face.
Li Zhen was not a person who was easily persuaded. He said in a deep voice: "I have the final say on this matter. If you don't agree, then you will hand over the agricultural matters and I will replace it with someone else. Anyway, there are still people in Beijing." There are many people who can do it.”
Shi Dakai's face changed, and his expression kept changing.
Li Zhen's hand strangled his neck so hard that he could not refuse. Shi Dakai was dismayed and nodded and said: "Thank you very much, President, for your concern. I will definitely recover from my injuries and strive to recover as soon as possible and start working as soon as possible."
"Yes, that's right."
Li Zhen laughed, changed the subject, and said, "Old Shi, tell me about the situation here."
Shi Dakai nodded, his expression instantly turned serious.
When it comes to the country's official affairs, Shi Dakai did not dare to neglect, and said carefully: "Sichuan is a place with little contact with the outside world, and because of inconvenient transportation, the degree of population mobility has been reduced, which has given rise to a lot of clan strength. These clans are very powerful. Not only that, the clans in this place are also very united and not easy to deal with."
“I came to Chengdu to carry out work, and publicly announced the notice that the land would be taken back, and the notice that the land would be returned to the people after the land was taken back was also issued. According to the designated plan, after the landowner’s land was handed over, We will give certain compensation to the landowners, but it will ultimately have some impact on the landowners."
"So, these people started thinking about how to deal with it."
"On the surface, the landowners agreed, but in fact they refused to obey the instructions and did not carry out the orders. Later I went to investigate and found out the truth of the matter. Unfortunately, I met some people who agreed on the surface. But he secretly assassinated the person, resulting in what he is like today."
He sighed, regretting that he fell into the gutter this time.
Li Zhen frowned and said, "That's wrong."
Liu Jintang hurriedly asked: "President, what's wrong?"
Shi Dakai also looked puzzled and asked: "What questions does the president have?"
Li Zhen thought for a while and said: "When we originally discussed it, we had already considered that the landlords would resist, so the compensation given was not low. Even if the landlords felt it was inappropriate, without the common people as their foundation, they would not have the capital to leapfrog. After all, , after taking back the land, we will give the land to the people for farming. This is something that is beneficial to the people. It will benefit the people without any harm. The people should give their full support. With the support of the people, the landlords will lose their foundation. They will It doesn’t work even if you don’t cooperate, why will it fail?”
At this moment, Li Zhen was confused.
He couldn't understand why this was the case.
Shi Dakai sighed and said: "President, as the saying goes, you have a good plan and I have a wall. It is very common in places to have policies and countermeasures. I have been working in Beijing these years, and I am only responsible for appointing big ones." Policy, I rarely personally intervene in a matter, but now I finally understand that when things get down to the next level, it may not necessarily be implemented."
Li Zhen asked: "What's going on?"
Shi Dakai explained: "Planning land is indeed good for the people, but the people have no courage to fight with the landlords. I investigated carefully and found that although the people want land, they face coercion and inducement from the landlords, clans and businessmen. On the one hand, these have Powerful people told the people that as long as the people were willing to continue renting their land, the rent paid by the people could be reduced and only a small part would be required. On the other hand, grain merchants, agricultural merchants, etc. came out to threaten the people. , saying that if the people cooperate with the government, anyone who receives the land will become their enemy."
"Businessmen are also direct in doing things. They say that as long as the people work with the government, they will not sell seeds or farm tools in the future, nor will they purchase the food grown by the people. Think about it, the people rely on mountains and water to eat, and when the harvest is not good, they rely on food. To make a living, if they grow some food, they have to exchange money for it. If no one buys the food, seeds, tools, etc., they are like being strangled by the neck."
"Under such circumstances, who would be willing to cooperate with the government and agree to the requests of the clan and landlords? After all, the landlords are not harsh people and have given the people a very high harvest."
After Li Zhen finished listening, a haze flashed between his brows.
I didn't expect things to be so complicated.
Liu Jintang had a cold face and said decisively: "Let me tell you, this matter is very simple. Kill the chicken to scare the monkey. Just pull out a few people and shoot them. Everything will be solved and there will no longer be any difficulties."
Shi Dakai immediately retorted and said: "We have no evidence and cannot abuse force. This is the law of the country. We cannot mobilize troops to attack at will just because of speculation. Moreover, once force is used, how will the businessmen view the country? This It will cause great damage to the country’s image.”
Li Zhen nodded and said: "It is not difficult to solve the problems of the people, and it is not difficult to resolve the tricks of the merchants. The difficulty lies in the clan mentioned. This is the most difficult place. The clan itself is a big problem, because Every clan has countless people. Once a big clan or a big landowner is deprived of its land, the big family will lose one of its most important and stable sources. Without the means to survive, they will have no way out and will easily explode. Turmoil, that’s the real key.”
Shi Dakai nodded and said: "Yes, we have to take back the land. This is something that is inevitable. When people go to a dead end, they will no longer care about more things. We must also be prepared."
Li Zhen said slowly: "On the way here, I also considered one thing. Sichuan is mountainous and hilly. Many people are not necessarily in the places where they can be found, but in deep mountains and forests, or high above, where people are always there all year round." Even if we can’t see them, such people do exist, and we have to re-plan the place to include them.”
Shi Dakai frowned and said: "President, what you mentioned is probably really a difficult thing. I assert that it is almost impossible to get them to move out."
