Capitalist is also one of the unique terms of this era.

Regarding who is called a capitalist, it was a very sensitive topic at that time.

The first thing that caused the debate on this topic was Nian Guangjiu, the founder of Fool Guazi.

Nian Guangjiu, 42, is an insignificant little person in the local area. He started to pick up cigarette butts in the streets at the age of 7, worked as an apprentice in business at the age of 9, and took over his father's fruit stall as a teenager and started to manage the house.

Then in 1963, he was sentenced to one year in prison for "speculation and fraud". After being released from prison, Nian Guangjiu started to make melon seeds.

Nian Guangjiu learned a craft from somewhere. The fried melon seeds were very delicious. They were filled with fragrance after knocking three pieces, and gradually became famous.

He wanted to give his melon seeds a name. After thinking about it, he suddenly thought that his father, the neighborhood, was called "fool", and he was also called "little fool" since he was a child, so he simply called "fool melon seeds".

As soon as the brand "Silly Melon Seeds" was launched, he unexpectedly attracted a lot of praise because of the special occasion. His business became more and more prosperous. Melon Seeds could be sold for two or three thousand kilograms a day. He invited some unemployed young people to be helpers, and these people grew up one by one.

By autumn, someone else helped him count a little and there were 12 people, which made a big mistake. Nian Guangjiu's business was good, which made people around him jealous. Now he hired 12 people.

Someone immediately recalled the famous statement made by Marx in "Das Kapital"

"If there are 8 employees, it is not an ordinary individual economy, but a capitalist economy, and it is exploitation."

So, "A capitalist named Nian Guangjiu has emerged in Huizhou Province", and the rumors that "Nian Guangjiu is an exploiter" suddenly spread throughout Huizhou Province.

This debate did not seem to have appeared in public newspapers at that time, but it was widely circulated among government officials.

"There is a year in Anhui that employed 12 people to sautumn seeds. Is it considered exploitation?" This became a very sensitive proposition that circulated all over the country, and debate, defense, and confrontation, and a great debate with strong ideological characteristics began.

It is obvious that in the orthodox political economy discourse system at that time, Nian Guangjiu's exploitative nature was unquestionable. In the first, third, chapter 9 of "Das Kapital", Marx once clearly divided the boundary between "small owners" and "capitalists",

According to his calculations, at that time (mid-19th century), less than 8 workers were hired, and he directly participated in the production process like workers, "an intermediate figure between capitalists and workers, and became a small owner."

More than 8 people began to "occupy the surplus value of workers" and were for capitalists.

In almost all socialist theories, "seven down and eight up" is an ironclad line. Today, the melon seed factory in the past ten thousand years actually employs 12 workers, and its nature is almost self-evident.

A fool is a capitalist and he doesn't believe anyone after saying it, but it's true to use a theory.

In the face of vivid reality, the "classic" finally shows its paleness and embarrassment.

If Nian Guangjiu's fool seeds should be removed, then how can the "family side job" develop? Can all factories be controlled below 7 people? The problem raised by the "fool" made theorists in China blush in debate.

In fact, at that time, the country was not an isolated case of years. For the 100,000 industrial and commercial households that had just opened, whether the number of employees should be limited and whether it could exceed eight, has changed from a theoretical issue of one phenomenon to a practical problem.

In a small county town in Guangdong, a farmer named Chen Zhixiong contracted a 105-acre fish pond, employed one long-term worker, and received more than 10,000 yuan in 40 working days, which caused a fierce debate in the local area.

In Guangzhou, an individual businessman named Gao Deliang founded "Zhou Shengji Grand Master Chicken". In less than half a year, he hired six helpers and was pointed out by the society for exploitation.

Whether he was a capitalist was a very controversial thing at the time.

Speaking of Jiang Xiaobai's canned food for educated youth, he hired more than 100 villagers. According to the principle of "seven down and eight up", he is a true capitalist.

"Okay, I'll give you another week to investigate. The public security department will cooperate fully and show your spirit of solving the murder case and the key case."

The top leader nodded and said, then turned around and asked, "Do you have anything to do? If you have nothing to do, the meeting will be over."

Everyone shook their heads, but Zheng Qingyun, who had been sitting next to him without saying a word, spoke.

"Secretary, that's right. 14 educated youth such as Jiang Xiaobai participated in this year's college entrance examination, and all the scores of 14 people passed the line. So how do we deal with their political review materials now?"

If Zheng Qingyun could quietly pass the political review materials for Jiang Xiaobai and others, then Zheng Qingyun would never make any noise in the Standing Committee.

However, after the political review materials are reviewed, it is the matter of the Revolutionary Committee. Now, judging from the attitude of the Revolutionary Committee Director, it is probably unstoppable.

So he could only ask for help from the top leader. If the secretary agrees, the Revolutionary Committee will be dissatisfied and will follow the secretary's instructions.

After all, will all activities be carried out under the leadership of the Party?

However, he had completely offended the director of the Revolutionary Committee by openly intervening in the work of the Revolutionary Committee, but he had no other way.

Sure enough, as soon as Zheng Qingyun said, the director of the Revolutionary Committee looked over with hatred eyes, and his eyes were eager to eat Zheng Qingyun.

At the last time the county standing committee meeting was held, Zheng Qingyun jumped out and tried his best to help Jiang Xiaobai and others, but in the end he forced himself to set up an investigation team.

This time, the Standing Committee saw that Zheng Qingyun didn't say a word, and thought Zheng Qingyun had surrendered, but he didn't expect that Zheng Qingyun would speak at this time.

That's right, he had known that the political review materials of Jiang Xiaobai and others had arrived, but he was not ready to be reviewed at all.

Or if you delay for a while, and wait for this period to pass, you will not be able to go to college even if you pass the review.

"Secretary, Jiang Xiaobai's affairs have not been clarified yet. I don't think the political review can be given. The state will run a university, which is a place for the party and the country to cultivate talents. Capitalists cannot... "

The director of the Revolutionary Committee was afraid that the secretary would agree to pass the trial, so he anxiously opposed it.

Zheng Qingyun looked at the director of the Revolutionary Committee jumped out impatiently, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It would be fine if you don’t say anything, but the secretary may not be able to agree, but now the secretary hasn’t spoken yet, you are opposed.

Isn’t this challenging the authority of the top leader? Even if the secretary doesn’t want to agree, he might agree.

Are you a political struggle? Don’t look at me as young as Xiao Zheng, but I am also very skilled.
