That is to stabilize the normal lives of ordinary people. The introduction of a national debt plan will suppress prices, which will indeed affect the interests of many industrialists and businessmen. However, when compared with the vital interests of the general public, a clear distinction must be made as to which is more important.

Because Bo Shuchun has never fully admitted his mistake.

As a result, the meeting was prolonged.

The meeting lasted for more than 20 days and still hadn't concluded. Counting from the beginning, the meeting had already lasted a month.

The Premier was forced to attend meetings and constantly review his mistakes. Because the Premier was involved, Marshal Nie was left to oversee the day-to-day work of the State Council. The arrival of so many local leaders in Beijing affected much of the work.

But what about the current situation?

It has become a big problem.

No one can retreat.

Because now it's not a question of who's taking a step back; everyone's stuck here. Wei Hongjun slowly understood why everyone in politics is so desperately trying to make a fight. Actually, when Wei Hongjun first raised this issue, he didn't intend for this outcome.

But things have reached this point now, which is completely beyond Wei Hongjun's expectations. Things are no longer under control even if everyone wants to.

Gao Gang will not give in.

Because if Gao Gang takes a step back now, then all the criticisms over the past few days will be meaningless.

What do others think of Gao Gang?

His message was simple: Bo Shuchun was no longer qualified to serve as Minister of Finance. Luo Qirong, First Secretary of the South China Branch, and Xiang Ming, First Deputy Secretary of the Shandong Branch, all expressed the same sentiment. They all demanded that the State Council reorganize the Ministry of Finance and force Bo Shuchun to relinquish his position as Minister.

Wei Hongjun's silence now indicates that he has already accepted this attitude.

Because now that the situation has become like this, Wei Hongjun can't back down. If Wei Hongjun takes a step back now, he will completely lose the support of others. As a result, the criticism at the financial meeting became increasingly sharp.

Gao Gang even said, "I believe that Comrade Bo Shuchun's problem this time is not just a problem of work methods, but also a problem of ideological quality, work style and policy."

It can be said that the tone of criticism is getting louder and louder.

Although the Chairman did not attend the meeting, the Prime Minister reported on the content of the meeting every day.

The Chairman knows that the current situation is not good.

If the financial meeting were allowed to continue, it would easily cause a political upheaval. As the situation continued to deteriorate, the chairman would ultimately be forced to choose one side and abandon the other. But this was not what the chairman wanted. Therefore, he began meeting with individual leaders.

"I've read the report from the Land Reform Work Conference."

The Chairman, wearing a cotton-padded jacket and holding a cigarette in his hand, said in a thick Hunan accent: "Your land reform work conference was very good. The situation in wartime is very different from that in peacetime. In wartime, everything is for the war, so even if the land reform is slightly

Some problems may arise, but the atmosphere of war will also cover up the atmosphere of land reform. Some problems of land reform will not cause big trouble. But peacetime is completely different. In peacetime, because there is no atmosphere of war, the work of land reform becomes very prominent.

If there is a slight problem, the social shock will be particularly great, and the voices of the landlords will be particularly sharp, attracting social attention. Therefore, the tendency of the land reform cadres in the newly liberated areas to carry out peaceful land reform did not appear out of thin air. We must fully understand that some of the land reform cadres in the newly liberated areas

We should not be too harsh on cadres for wanting peaceful land reform.

The killing of two landlords during the wartime land reform did not cause any serious consequences. This was because compared to the thousands of casualties on the battlefield, some of the problems encountered during the land reform were insignificant.

But it’s different in peacetime.

During the land reform at this time, if you killed a few landlords, the impact would be very bad.

The Chairman, who had gone through the war years and witnessed so many political movements, was rather soft-hearted towards cadres.

Speak clearly for those reformed cadres.

Although the Chairman is the Chairman of the Party and the Chairman of the Central People's Government, he must also respect the rules. Currently, Wei Hongjun is in charge of land reform work nationwide. He has the most weighty say in evaluating the work of land reform cadres and even in how they are handled.

The Chairman respects Wei Hongjun's work.

So it's just a plea, not an order.

Wei Hongjun said: "Chairman, I have always opposed the arbitrary killing of landlords and rich peasants in the name of land reform. But land reform is not a simple land distribution, it is about overthrowing the anti-feudal system in the countryside. The idea of ​​peaceful land distribution is to give up anti-feudalism and just want to

The emergence of this kind of thinking is not only because we are now in the era of peace construction, but more because many of our cadres have a misunderstanding of peace construction. They think that peace construction means that society is free of chaos and is stable.

The work was completed. However, the feudal situation in the newly liberated areas was very serious. If we did not overthrow them, the society would appear to be very stable, but in fact the old order would not be broken. Therefore, my idea was to educate these cadres and let them understand the feudal system.

If someone still cannot understand the great significance of land reform, then such cadres are not qualified to continue to be responsible for land reform work.

The chairman nodded.

Although Wei Hongjun did not completely follow his own words, the Chairman preferred this kind of Wei Hongjun.

He said: "We cannot hold cadres accountable just because they have made mistakes. A good cadre is one who can reform himself."

"Yes.

"Comrade Chen Tao from the South China Branch is very good."

"Chairman, Comrade Chen Tao is young, but very perceptive. He places great emphasis on investigation and research in his daily work, and is able to quickly grasp the core of a problem. He is a latecomer, but he has done an excellent job in rural work. He is a young, capable, and courageous cadre."

Wei Hongjun was not stingy with his praise for Chen Tao.

When Wei Hongjun developed the "Shengxian Experience" in Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei, Chen Tao was still too low-ranking. But this time, he was the first in the Central-South Bureau to criticize the problem of "peaceful land reform," and it even influenced the National Land Reform Work Conference.

The Chairman has read the documents of the National Land Reform Conference and the Central-South Bureau Land Reform Conference.

So I have a deep impression of Chen Tao.

"Young cadres like these need more protection and training."

yes."

The Chairman then asked about the current situation of land reform work.

Although Wei Hongjun was very busy, land reform was the foundation of all his work. He would periodically pay attention to the issue. Therefore, he was able to answer the Chairman's questions with ease. The Chairman listened quietly to Wei Hongjun's report, occasionally interjecting with his own views.

Wei Hongjun took a notebook and wrote down what the Chairman said.

This is Wei Hongjun's habit.

Wei Hongjun always carries a pen with him wherever he goes. He writes down everything he sees, hears, and who says it, as long as he thinks it makes sense and is useful in his work.

We talked about land reform for more than forty minutes.

Then the chairman said, "I also heard about the recent financial conference."

Wei Hongjun didn't say anything.

Because Wei Hongjun didn't understand what the Chairman meant, the Chairman looked at Wei Hongjun and asked, "What do you think of Comrade Bo Shuchun?"

Wei Hongjun became very serious.

"Chairman, I have worked with Comrade Bo Shuchun for some time. He is very capable and has profound knowledge in finance. Since he became the Minister of Finance, the Ministry's work has been well organized, and national financial work has become increasingly standardized."

Wei Hongjun is very confident in Bo Shuchun's abilities.

This is not to flatter him.

Rather, Wei Hongjun truly believed that Bo Shuchun was a rare expert in the financial field within the Party. When Wei Hongjun criticized Bo Shuchun, he was never criticizing his financial skills.

Wei Hongjun continued, "But this time, he did have a problem. He did not stand on the side of the masses. Now the people of the country are waiting for prices to fall and the RMB to stabilize. But after the founding of New China, many leaders in the central government wanted to listen to the people.

It's becoming increasingly difficult to voice our opinions, but those big capitalists have plenty of ways to get their messages across to our central leadership through various channels. And our cadres are increasingly taking their words seriously, which is why we have the current situation.

"Ah."

The chairman's face looked serious.

He said, "Yes. We've only been in the city for a short time, and everyone is already alienated from the masses. The people's line is the lifeblood of our party. The fact that our party has been able to reach this point is the victory of the people's war. This issue needs to be taken seriously."

"Yes."

"But talent is hard to come by. We must punish our cadres for past mistakes and serve as a warning to future ones. We can't just condemn them all."

Wei Hongjun somewhat understood what the Chairman meant.

The Chairman still cares very much about his cadres.

Considering the previous cadre issues concerning land reform and the issue of Bo Shuchun, Wei Hongjun knew that the Chairman did not want to start a war. The Chairman valued the talents of Deng Zhihui of the Central South Bureau and Bo Shuchun of the Ministry of Finance.

As long as they don't make mistakes of principle.

The Chairman is willing to protect them.

"Chairman, Comrade Bo Shuchun's self-criticisms always fail to pass at meetings."

Wei Hongjun still spoke vaguely about the current situation.

Bo Shuchun is still stubbornly resisting, and although he has been self-reflecting, he has refused to admit his mistakes on the core issues. As long as Bo Shuchun refuses to admit his mistakes, the current situation will be impossible to resolve.

Even if the chairman comes forward, it will be the same.

Everyone had already set up their guns, waiting to blow the Ministry of Finance apart. If it had initially been a disagreement over work, it was now more than just a disagreement over work. Powerful factions on all sides had begun to set their sights on the Ministry of Finance.

Under the current circumstances, the chairman can only coordinate.

The Chairman couldn't just protect Bo Shuchun and deal with all the opposing cadres. The Chairman understood Wei Hongjun's point. So, he said, "If you're wrong, you must admit it, but you can't hold on to it."

"Yes."

After seeing Wei Hongjun off, the Chairman thought carefully for a long time.

After a while, he took out a piece of paper and wrote a letter on it. He then folded the letter and wrote on it, "Please ask Comrade Wu Hao to pass it to Comrade Bo Shuchun." The letter criticized Bo Shuchun and demanded that he review his behavior at the financial and economic meeting.

December 1948, 12, was the 3th day of the financial and economic conference.

Chen Yun presided over the meeting again.

Bo Shuchun had just completed a self-criticism at the meeting. In this self-criticism, he admitted that his stance on the national debt plan was flawed. This was because he had become detached from the masses and failed to listen to their opinions.

Bo Shuchun was criticized for a full twenty days, and this was the first time he had made such a self-criticism.

After Bo Shuchun's review, Chen Yunkai simply said: "Everyone criticizes Comrade Bo Shuchun's mistakes, and I agree very much. His unstable position on the national debt issue is a mistake. But everyone makes mistakes. I myself have made many mistakes. If I talk about my mistakes in detail, they are really three

I can't finish talking about it in three days and nights. Who among the other comrades here dares to say that he has no mistakes? Comrade Bo Shuchun made many mistakes, perhaps not just a few pounds, but tons and tons. However, no matter how many mistakes he made, they cannot be said to be errors of line. We should start from the mistakes in our work.

Speaking of work, it is wrong to say that this is a wrong direction, and I don't agree with it.

Although Chen Yun wanted to lower his tone before, he did not really stand out.

But this time is different.

The Chairman had a talk with Chen Yun. After all, the National Finance and Economics Conference was chaired by Chen Yun, so Chen Yun had to come out and get the meeting back on track. So Chen Yun continued: "I also made a mistake in this matter. Because when I was stationed at the Finance and Economics Committee, I did not grasp my position, which led to Bo Shu

Comrade Chun also made a mistake. I am reviewing it here.

Chen Yun said directly that he also made mistakes.

He used himself to lower the tone of the meeting. Chen Yun also lacked a loyal following within the party to support him, but the various factions didn't have much ill will towards him. Now that Chen Yun had taken the initiative to stand up, it was difficult for anyone to criticize him.

"snort."
