Since he opened his mouth, Liu Weihong might as well say a few more words.
"Actually, the situation that Eldest Aunt mentioned just now also exists in other provinces. Although I've just started working at Qingfeng's agricultural school, I've seen a lot of things like spending public funds and eating and drinking with public funds. After the reform and opening up, the country and the people had indeed gradually become richer, but the style of hard work and plain living was also slowly losing. The phenomenon of corruption was gradually spreading, and this situation was not good. Many teachers and students in the agricultural school were indignant when they talked about the corruption and injustice in society. The social contradictions were gradually becoming more and more acute.”
Liu Weihong said slowly. He was neither fast nor slow, and his demeanor was very calm. His words and sentences were also very accurate and very objective.
When he said this, everyone was shocked. Even the old man's snow-white eyebrows were raised as he looked at Liu Weihong a few times.
This was that extremely rebellious grandson?
Could it be that after studying in Chu Nan's university for a few years, he had made such progress?
After three days of separation, you should look at me with new eyes!
"Weihong, you're still young. Don't follow what others say." Liu Weidong said indifferently. How many things could the teachers and students of Qingfeng area's agricultural school know?”
His tone was obviously disapproving.
It wasn't that he completely disagreed with Liu Weihong's words, but in this kind of situation, he was the only one who had the right to speak. Now that Liu Weihong had appeared to steal the limelight, this was something that Liu Weidong could not tolerate.
He was the eldest grandson of the Old Liu family and the natural political heir of the Old Liu family.
"Big Brother, it's not like I'm just following the crowd." Liu Weihong smiled. There was indeed some dissatisfaction among the masses. This was especially true for schools. Many students were more emotional after learning about some unfair phenomena through newspapers and other channels. If we don't guide it, I think it might lead to a relatively large social event.”
When he said this, Liu Weihong's expression was very firm.
He had witnessed this with his own eyes, so he was very confident.
" Cheng 'ai," the old man said warily," you work in the Youth League. What Weihong said is worth paying attention to." The school could not be chaotic, and those students could not be chaotic either. They had to be guided correctly.”
Liu Weihong was overjoyed.
This was the first time the old man had given him a positive evaluation. Even though it was just a sentence, it was enough to make him happy.
It was a good start.
"Okay, Daddy!"
Liu Cheng 'ai nodded repeatedly.
"Also, what Weihong said just now…spending with public funds, eating and drinking with public funds…is that right, Weihong?”
The old man looked at Liu Weihong and asked.
This was truly unprecedented. The old man actually praised Liu Weihong twice in a row.
"Yes, Grandpa!"
Liu Weihong quickly replied. The so-called " spending with public funds " and " eating and drinking with public funds " were extremely common in the later generations he had experienced. It had become a catchphrase. Could it be that it was still a new term?
"Yes, this is a very novel way of putting it, but it's also more vivid and accurate. This situation was even more serious and could not be taken lightly. When comrade Yuehua comes later, I want to talk to him personally about this problem.”
The old man said seriously.
"You're going to talk to Comrade Yuehua personally?" Liu Chengsheng interrupted.”
Obviously, Liu Chengsheng didn't agree with the old man's decision. Today was the old master's 80th birthday. The main leaders of the central government would personally come to congratulate him. Naturally, Comrade Yuehua would also come. However, they were all courtesy visits. On such a day, Liu Chengsheng didn't think it was appropriate to talk about such a serious topic with Comrade Yuehua. If it was more sensitive, it could even be understood that the old man was not satisfied with Comrade Yuehua's work.
Comrade Yuehua was ten years younger than the old man. It could be expected that she would definitely work in her current position for a longer period of time. If Yuehua had misunderstood, it was obviously not good news for Liu Chengsheng.
"Yes!"
The old man nodded heavily, and his expression became even more serious. As a revolutionary of the older generation and a founding father of the country, the old man's political wisdom was unquestionable. However, the old man's revolutionary stance and firm party spirit were even more unquestionable. Of course, he knew that Liu Chengsheng was highly valued by Yuehua, but that didn't stop him from giving his opinion to Yuehua.
Moreover, with the reputation of the Old Liu family, as long as the old man was alive, he did not need to listen to anyone.
Liu Chengsheng frowned. He knew that the old man had made up his mind, and no one could change his mind. Thinking of this, Liu Chengsheng glanced at Liu Weihong with a slightly displeased expression.
You're just a little kid, what are you trying to do?
Unexpectedly, the old man actually began to be interested in this grandson. He said,"Weihong, you've been working in the countryside for a year. Is there anything new? Tell me."
It sounded like a grandfather and grandson chatting, but in such a family, it could not be considered that way. He had to think clearly about what to say and what not to say. Liu Weihong did not think that the old man would be interested in the daily affairs of the family. However, he was the only one in the Liu family who worked in the countryside. The others were all in the capital. If the old man wanted to know the real situation in the village, he could only ask Liu Weihong.
Liu Weihong was also a little surprised.
Although he wanted to change everything from now on, the old man's question caught him off guard. However, delaying for too long was clearly not possible.
He had to seize this opportunity no matter what.
Liu Weihong pondered for a while and calmed down. He said,"Grandpa, I've only been working at Qingfeng Agricultural School for less than a year, so I don't know much about the situation…As far as I know, I'll give you a report…After the third session of the eleventh Central Committee, the central government decided to carry out the reform and open up and implement the land contract responsibility system. This policy was very good, and the farmers were also very supportive. Everyone's enthusiasm for production was very high, and the grain harvest was also reaped year after year. However, the high yield of grain for several years had gradually highlighted a problem, which was that the low price of grain hurt the farmers. With the deepening of the reform and opening up, not only did the rural areas undergo earth-shaking changes, but the entire society was also undergoing drastic changes. There were more businesses, more self-employed households, and the circulation of goods increased. The salary of the state workers had been increasing year after year, which had led to the continuous rise in prices. This wasn't an isolated problem, but an overall problem. The abundance of agricultural products had led to a drop in prices. Moreover, the agricultural products were all fresh, which was not conducive to long-term storage. Over time, they would rot and deteriorate. Farmers could only sell them at a lower price before they rotted. This has further led to the price of agricultural and sideline products falling…"
Liu Weihong spoke frankly. Before he was reborn, he was an associate researcher at the Chu Nan Academy of Agricultural Sciences. He was quite familiar with these things. He often came into contact with red-headed documents and official figures, so he knew how to speak in accordance with the rules. Therefore, he was very careful with his words and sentences. He tried his best to reflect the problem objectively and fairly without adding his own comments. This kind of pragmatic attitude was the best way to win the old master's favor.
Liu Weihong's words shocked everyone.
Was this the words of a 22-year-old university graduate?
Liu Weihong deliberately paused for a moment.
This was also a technique of speech. He wanted to see how others reacted and also wanted to attract everyone's attention.
"Hmm…continue!"
The old man was obviously attracted and urged.
"If the prices of agricultural and sideline products don't go up, farmers won't be able to increase their investment in the land. The prices of fertilizers, seeds, plastic films, and other materials were constantly rising. The cost of each mu of land for farmers was constantly rising, and the profits were getting lesser and lesser. Their enthusiasm for tending to the land would also decrease. In the long run, the development of rural areas would be very problematic. Not to mention mechanized farming, increasing production and high yield, even the current model would be difficult to maintain. China's long-term implementation of the scissors policy and household registration policy has seriously restricted the development of rural areas. Therefore, there were many young rural laborers in the Green Peak area who gave up farming and went out to work to earn a few living money to supplement their families. Correspondingly, the ranks of the officials were constantly expanding, and there were more and more people in charge and eating the imperial food. There were more and more privileged classes, and the burden on the rural areas and farmers was getting heavier and heavier. "The social conflicts will continue to accumulate…So, Grandpa, I'm very worried that these conflicts will erupt in the near future and form a very serious social problem.”
Liu Weidong couldn't help but say unhappily,"Weihong, don't scare me. The current situation was still very good. I admit that what you said makes sense, but it's only an isolated phenomenon and not a universal existence. As for serious social problems, there was even less to worry about. Our ability to control is unquestionable.”
Everyone looked at Liu Weihong to see how he would answer. In everyone's impression, Liu Weihong would definitely 'fly into a rage out of humiliation' and become rebellious. He would argue with Liu Weidong and then walk away.
Liu Weihong smiled calmly and said,""Big brother, I also hope that this is an isolated phenomenon. But I've seen it with my own eyes. This is indeed a common situation. And I can say with certainty that if we don't think of a way to guide it directly and turn a blind eye to this situation, social conflicts will soon erupt and cause great chaos. This will have a very bad influence on the cause of our party.”
"Our party's cause?" Liu Weidong smiled and asked with a hint of sarcasm,""Are you a party member?"
"I'm not a party member yet, but I'm trying to join the party," Liu Weihong replied calmly. The application form for joining the party had already been submitted, and the school party committee was currently inspecting it.”
This was a lie. However, Liu Weihong knew very well that if he wanted to start all over again, it was necessary to lie to his face without blushing. A famous figure once said," If you don't tell lies, you can't achieve great things!
"Good, good!"
The old man was happy, and a rare smile appeared on his face. The way he looked at Liu Weihong became more friendly.
"Weihong, it's a good thing to ask for improvement. You have to persevere.”
"Yes, Grandpa!"
Liu Weihong said respectfully.
