Chapter 58: There is a storm on the side of the Pujiang River
On the day of the Spring Festival, Mingzhu City officials released a news that Comrade Fang He celebrated the New Year with the people of Mingzhu City.
There is nothing wrong with the news itself. The problem is that it was published along with an article titled "Unswervingly Promoting Reform and Opening Up."
There is no problem with such a topic in itself. After all, although there are many voices questioning reform and opening up, there is no clear denial of reform at the central level.
However, in this article, he denies the issue of "surnamed society and capital" that emerged a while ago, saying that the most fundamental problem today is still to be particularly vigilant about the slowdown in economic development. The biggest problem is still
As for the people's food problem, as for the "plan" or "market" issues, we can put them aside for the time being.
In a word, the general meaning of the article is similar to the "white cat, black cat" theory.
As soon as this article from Mingzhu City appeared, it affected the publicity system here in the capital.
This was obviously in serious conflict with the leading ideas of the Propaganda Department, so under the instruction of the Propaganda Department, various newspapers and periodicals began to publish targeted articles to refute. The focus of the firepower was still on whether we should insist on clarifying the "surname of society and capital".
" on the issue.
Suddenly, the smell of gunpowder arose between the capital and Mingzhu.
But this article in Mingzhu City was not the end. The four commentaries that followed were published one after another, which can be regarded as a series. They were also tit-for-tat refutations against the refutational articles in Beijing.
When the dispute between Beijing and Mingzhu City was intensifying, Comrade Fang He was walking eastward on Hongqiao Road. Seeing the stale appearance of the urban area, he couldn't help but sigh, "The development of Mingzhu City is late, we must work hard!"
Then he continued eastward, and when he reached the east bank of the Pujiang River, his heart became heavier and heavier, "It would have been better if the Pujiang East District had been developed into a special economic zone a few years earlier, like Jiangkou."
The entourage talked about the prosperity of Pearl City in the 1930s, saying that it was the "Financial Center of the Far East" and "free currency convertibility". He listened attentively and then said, "We will do this in the future."
Of course, the purpose of Comrade Fang He's trip is obviously not to Mingzhu City. He is in Mingzhu City but his heart is in the capital.
Comrade Fang He said to a lean middle-aged man who was following him, "Comrade Hong Zheng, we still need to talk about reform and opening up. Don't think that saying that planned economy is socialism and that market economy is capitalism is not that simple.
The thing is, both are means, and the market can also serve socialism."
Then he talked about the 1980s that he missed, "At that time, when it was proposed to implement household contracting in rural areas, many people disagreed. Is household contracting still considered socialism? If you don't say it, you can't figure it out in your heart, so you delay in taking action, and some resist it.
For two years, we waited."
After hearing this, everyone felt that he was still waiting for those who "can't figure it out" to wake up.
"Pearl City must have courage and dare to be the first in the world. Don't be afraid of failure. Failure does not matter." Comrade Fang He said to Comrade Hong Zheng.
"We are willing to try." Comrade Hong Zheng, secretary of the Mingzhu Municipal Party Committee, nodded.
