That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 955 Are you addicted to quarreling?

"Cai Minying, you have only been studying abroad for two years. What advanced experience do you know? The Lighthouse is a profit-oriented country, and we are an idealistic country. How can the two be the same?"

"You are taking the successful experience of a profit-driven country and applying it to an idealistic country?
Is your brain broken? Or have you been indoctrinated by some evil spirits from overseas and some evil things have been planted into your head?"

"."

Li Ye had never scolded a woman in his life, so when he banged on Cai Minying with the help of a can of Coke, the two women in the room were stunned.

Cousin Zhao Meiwen looked at her eldest cousin who was firing on all cylinders, as if she saw the fool who had been running rampant on the streets of the county town.

The only difference is that the fool Li Ye at that time swung his fists, while Li Ye now spits.

Cai Minying was stunned for a full minute, then her eyes turned red and her hair seemed to be about to explode.

"Who are you calling a demon? I have studied foreign literature for two years, but you, Li Ye, haven't studied for a year? I am asking you for advice out of kindness, why are you pretending to be so arrogant?"

"An idealistic country? Where did you hear this term? How come I didn't know we even have this term?"

"You look down on profit-driven thinking, so why do you want royalties for your novels? Wouldn't it be better if you could just do it for free? Did the Santana you drive fall from the sky? Why don't you think about it and give it to someone who needs it more?"

"Dong Dong Dong~"

Li Ye knocked on the table again and said in annoyance: "Shut up first, let me explain to you what an idealistic country is."

"An idealistic country does everything from the perspective of ideals. For example, ensuring that all people in the flower-growing countries have enough food and warm clothes is the most basic ideal. No matter what the cost, we must strive towards the ideal."

"Then tell me, if we adopt the practice of the Lighthouse, and if growing crops is no longer profitable, should we still grow them? If we don't grow them, how can we control the price? How can we ensure that everyone can afford food?

Have you read the text "Three or Five More Bushels of Grain Harvested"? If the grain market is fully liberalized, aren't you afraid that ordinary people won't be able to afford food with their wages? "

"."

Cai Minying was stunned for a moment, and immediately retorted fiercely: "The food in the lighthouse has never been so expensive that ordinary people can't afford it. Even if you lose your job, you can still get enough bread every day."

"That's because Lighthouse is blessed by nature. There are no powerful enemies around, and food supply exceeds demand. Go and look at those countries with complex geopolitics and poor arable land. Do their people suffer from hunger?"

"."

Cai Minying was confronted by Li Ye again.

She likes to debate with people, but she is reasonable and won't argue.

The mechanized large-scale rural model of Dengta produces far more grain each year than the people of Dengta need. However, the terrain in the Flower Farm is complex and the population is large, so it is hard to ensure that supply exceeds demand.

What’s more, in the 1980s, farmers had to pay “levies”, and farming itself was not very profitable.

The reason why flower growers have been able to maintain the unprofitable business of growing crops for a long time is actually due to their dedication to the land.

This is my family's land. I lose a hundred yuan every year from farming it, but I don't think it should be left idle because it's mine.

[There is a piece of land in front of my house! ]

But if this land belongs to the commune and is assigned to me to cultivate, I won’t serve you unless I can make 20,000 or 30,000 yuan.

The former is driven by ideals, and the latter is driven by interests.

Seeing Cai Minying frown, Li Ye immediately struck while the iron was hot and scolded again: "After talking about food, let's talk about other things. The ideal of our country is that every household has electricity and every village has roads."

"There are only a dozen households in a small mountain village, and they need to lay 30 miles of electric wires. If we follow the market economy, how much should they be charged for the initial installation? How much should one kilowatt-hour of electricity be sold for?"

"The western region is vast and sparsely populated, and it will take a long time to recover the cost of road construction. So will this highway be built? Who will pay for it? Who will build it if they lose money?"

“When we do things, do we do them because they should be done, or do we do them because they are profitable?”

"."

Cai Minying stopped talking.

Because if she followed Li Ye's wishes and chose the second option, Li Ye would spit at her to death.

Just don't do anything that is not profitable?

If you dare to say this today, the organization will send someone to talk to you tomorrow. Have you forgotten the ideals of this country?

We must strive to build a great country. As for whether we lose money or make money in the process of construction, that is another matter.

So even though those big breeders may be complaining about this and that decades later, the "idealism" of flower growers has always existed and has always prevailed.

A country driven by interests will calculate the interests before doing anything.
Lose money?

No! In the 1980s, the poverty of the mainland and the prosperity of the lighthouse covered up the drawbacks of profit-driven thinking and made the idealism of the mainland look worthless.

But decades later, when flower growers see that there are still homeless people living in tents on Dengta Street, but there are no more homeless people on the streets in the mainland, will anyone remember that there was once a group of people who gave everything for the ideal of "keeping the people well fed and clothed".

Li Ye told a series of examples, leaving Cai Minying speechless, and she finally uttered a word.

"My personal opinion is that the lifeline of the country cannot be controlled by others. Even if it means losing money, it must be in our own hands. For the rest, we should vigorously develop the private economy."

"."

Cai Minying pursed her lips, pondered for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "The compensation must be in your own hands, so where does the money come from?"

Li Ye spread his hands and said with a smile: "Of course, this is a problem that Director Cai and you should solve. I'm just a small section chief who produces cars. Why are you asking me?"

"."

Cai Minying opened her mouth and couldn't close it for a long time. Finally, she started to argue with Li Ye.

"I'm rubbing mud@#$$%^&*@"

Li Ye did not tolerate Cai Minying and fought back against her. The two of them argued back and forth, from the economy to the system, from the system to politics, and they rolled up their sleeves and swung their arms, which dumbfounded Zhao Meiwen who was watching.

[Are intellectuals’ arguments so intense? But it’s so exciting to listen to! ]

The reason why Cai Minying quarreled with Li Ye for so long was because it was "enjoyable".

She can't quarrel with others!
After just a few words, the other party will either show their weakness or reveal their true identity, and the argument can no longer continue.

But Li Ye's various fallacies are endless, but when you want to refute them, you feel that they make some sense, and after arguing for a while, you always feel "suddenly enlightened".

Unconsciously, there was a gleam in Cai Minying's eyes, and there was also the shadow of Li Ye.

[Why did he go to the car factory? What a waste of all his evil energy! ]

Is Li Ye full of evil spirit?

Actually not.

Experts in later generations said that ordinary flower growers who have received domestic education actually have very high political literacy, and some are even close to the elites of many countries.

Because they have received political education since childhood in junior high and high school, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there is a general public base in China that is willing to interpret and discuss national policies.

In daily life, we are also exposed to various cases of political intrigues in traditional culture and a large number of game models, which lead to us unknowingly deconstructing the art of political intrigue clearly and correctly enough.

For example, when everyone watches the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, half of the people hope to be an intellectual figure like Zhuge Liang.

After the Internet and multimedia became popular, the threshold for obtaining various knowledge that improved the level in China became extremely low. There were also books such as "Selected" that made high-level summaries, resulting in a continuous connection of "internal skills" from low to high.

Maybe the flower growers themselves don’t think anything of it, but when the neighboring General Yin led a border operation that “went down in history” in later generations, everyone was surprised to find that the political level of the top leaders of developed countries was so incomprehensible.

Look at the people in power in the Middle East and the operations of some small countries. They are not even as good as "The Legend of Zhen Huan"?
Of course, the level of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is not low. It is said that its loyal audiences include Yingluck and Nanako.

Li Ye and Cai Minying quarreled for half an hour, making each other's hair disheveled, faces red, and chests heaving.

Cai Minying swallowed her saliva, pointed at Li Ye and said, "I'll go cook, we'll continue after we're full."

"No, my wife is waiting for me to come home for dinner!"

Li Ye quickly stood up and left.

This woman is addicted to quarreling! The more she quarrels, the brighter her eyes become, as if she wants to swallow herself up.

However, after Li Ye stood up, he remembered something.

He pointed to the door opposite and said, "Um, Senior Sister Cai, how is your relationship with Director Ruan across the street?"

Cai Minying said directly: "We are not that familiar with each other. What? Do you want me to be a matchmaker for you? I have a piece of advice for you! This family is fence-sitters. They will go to whichever side has the benefit. They are not good."

"."

Zhao Meiwen felt so ashamed that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

Why is it that others can understand what is going on at a glance, but I am blind?

Li Ye said calmly, "No, I look down on their family, but I was dragged to your house after leaving his house. He may misunderstand you and vent his anger on you in the future. You may have to explain yourself."

"Take your anger out on me? Is he worthy of that?"
