Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 287
It took three days, a full three days on the train, before He Ping and the others entered Yangdong Province.

The team members have long lost the excitement of "eating hot pot and singing" when they first boarded the train. They can't wait to get there sooner.

After taking the train for three days, people are going to be stupid.The disheveled and bearded Han Zhaokun once again rejected Cheng Jingshan's invitation to have a drink together. The eldest brother can't drink, but his kung fu is first-rate, and Han Zhaokun is afraid of him.

He Ping lay on the bunk with his eyes closed, and the students of the Agricultural College were attracted by the scenery outside the window.

"Then what's outside?" A few students saw the scenery outside and moved to the window curiously.

Cheng Jingshan took a look, "Well, it's a first-line pass."

"What is the front line?" asked the students.

Cheng Jingshan patiently explained to the students: "The first-line pass is actually the national border, and the first-line pass in Nanshan is the boundary between Nanshan and Xiangjiang. In 1898, the Western powers forced the weak and incompetent Qing government to sign the "Extension of Xiangjiang Boundary Site". The border survey was completed in the second year after the signing of the treaty. Since then, this pass has been our national gate, and the first-line pass is China, and the other side of the first-line pass is the British leased land.

The barbed wire fence you see starts from Nan'ao Baguang, Longgang in the east, and ends at the mouth of Dongbao River in Bao'an County in the west, with a total length of 285 kilometers. "

"You mean Xiangjiang is on the other side of the barbed wire fence?" After hearing Cheng Jingshan's introduction, the students' eyes lit up a little. Now the information of Xiangjiang has gradually spread to the mainland. Many people know that Xiangjiang is a good place now. The feasting and feasting are so colorful that many people risk their lives to swim to the other side in order to live a better life, and it has intensified over the years.

"Yes!" Cheng Jingshan looked at the long stretch of barbed wire, with unspeakable emotions in his eyes.

"Is Xiangjiang really as good as they say?" The students asked even more happily when they heard Cheng Jingshan's answer.

Cheng Jingshan looked at the ignorant and excited faces of the students, and it was difficult to speak for a while.As a civil servant, describing the life in the leased land too well will undoubtedly discredit ourselves, but in terms of the living standards of ordinary people, Xiangjiang is indeed much better than the mainland.

"Okay, it's much better than ours."

The students turned their heads and saw He Ping leaning on the quilt, speaking with a relaxed expression.

"What a good method?" Seeing that someone was willing to give them science popularization, the students approached He Ping.

He Ping yawned, "Over there, they live in high-rise buildings with 24-hour electricity. There are all kinds of household appliances at home, such as color TVs, refrigerators, and washing machines. Every family has them; they wear clothes that are more expensive than those in the TV. It’s not bad, it’s very foreign, and it’s divided into various styles throughout the year; the food you eat is from all over the world, and you can eat whatever is delicious; you don’t have to walk, you can drive your own car, and you can also use the subway, that’s The underground train is convenient no matter where you go..."

The students were fascinated by He Ping's words.

Cheng Jingshan blamed He Ping a little in his heart, talking nonsense about the truth.

"But..." He Ping's relaxed tone suddenly changed, interrupting the students' longing.

"but what?"

"However, all of these are appearances. You have all studied Das Kapital, and you need to understand what the essence of a socialist society is.

ZBism means that a small group of people master most of the means of production and exploit the majority of people, and use the surplus value created by the majority of people to satisfy their selfish desires, while the majority of people can only rely on a little bit of charity from a small group of people Subsistence means live.

When most people use the means of production to create value far beyond their own needs, then the means of living given to them by capitalists can meet their daily needs.But once the balance between creation and supply and demand is broken, and most people cannot create value far exceeding or only slightly more than their own needs with the means of production, the fangs of capital will undoubtedly be revealed.

Capital is not a person, and capital is not its master. Every pore of capital is filled with blood and filth. When these people cannot create more value for them, these people are useless garbage to them, and Garbage only fits in the dump. "

When He Ping said this, there was a cold light in his eyes, which made the students a little afraid.

"Do you know about the Great Depression in America in the 30s?"

The students nodded like chickens pecking rice.

"Why would ranchers dump fresh milk instead of giving it to the penniless poor?"

The students looked at each other. Of course they had learned about this case in their textbooks, and the teacher had already talked about it. This is the ugly part of a communist society.

But they were not sure about the answer, because He Ping's eyes were too serious, which made them hesitate.

"Because...the price cannot be sold." A student said uncertainly.

"That's not accurate. When the selling price of a product is lower than the cost price, the sale means a loss. In this case, they will also choose to sell the loss. To be precise, it cannot be sold, or Saying they wanted to sell the goods would cost them more, so they dumped it."

"Isn't it the same for the poor?"

"What's the benefit? What's the benefit to the poor rancher?"

The students were at a loss for words, "The poor people who get these things will appreciate these ranchers."

He Ping had a sarcastic smile on his face, "Capital does not want gratitude. It has no attributes, it is not controlled by people, and what it pursues is always higher profits and lower costs. Things that come in vain will only make users feel that they are If it is not worthy of the price it deserves, it will eventually lose the market.”

He Ping's words were so blunt and almost naked that the students' longing for Xiangjiang turned into panic, and everyone looked at He Ping with a little fear.

He's a pretty good person, but when he mentions ZBism, he becomes obsessed.

If He Ping knew the true thoughts in the hearts of the students, he would probably have the heart to vomit blood. I have worked so hard to give you the disadvantages of popular science and ZBism, and you actually bury me like this.

Cheng Jingshan was still a little dissatisfied with He Ping's way of opening up the other side's eyes, but after He Ping's words came out, he realized that he had wronged He Ping.

"What a vivid political class, well said." Cheng Jingshan praised.

He Ping waved his hand, "Tell me what you want."

Cheng Jingshan said to the students: "About the pros and cons of ZBism, you have to read more to know. The things in front of you are just what you see for a while. If you want to figure out the whole story, you have to think more while reading. .”

The students were a little confused by He Ping's words, and Cheng Jingshan didn't listen much to what he said, but responded instinctively: "Yes."
