In 1958, **I heard that "some cadres are very good at blowing" and asked *** Is it you?
From November 3 to November 10, 1958, ** presided over the historic first Zhengzhou Conference in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, which played a cooling role to a certain extent and calmed down the enthusiasm of "hurry up" at that time.
After the meeting, the delegates left Zhengzhou one after another, but *** stayed in Zhengzhou. On 12 November, in the conference room of the No. 2 Guest House of the Henan Provincial Party Committee, he met with secretaries of the prefectural party committees from Xuchang, Luoyang, Xinxiang, and Kaifeng, as well as secretaries of seven county party committees, including Mengjin, Shangqiu, Xinyang, and Yuxian, in the hope that they would frankly report to him the true situation of the rural people's communes.
These secretaries of the prefectural party committee and the county party committee were a little excited and nervous when they saw *** for the first time.
In order to relieve the tension of the comrades, ** pulled up the topic as soon as he opened his mouth.
He asked Wei Nairu, secretary of the Mengjin County Party Committee, with a smile: "Are you a ** person?" How long has you been the county party secretary? ”
Wei Nai replied truthfully: "I am from Jiyuan and have been working as the secretary of the county party committee for five years. ”
** Continued with great interest: "As Meng Jin's parent official, can you talk about the historical situation of Meng Jin?" ”
Wei Nairu scratched his scalp: "I have a limited understanding of history, so I can't talk about it." ”
** There was no attitude of reproach, and he still said with a smile: "Mengjin has been a military important place since ancient times. In several major reunifications in Chinese history, the army crossed the river at Mengjin. For example, King Wu crossed the river from Mengjin. ”
He then vividly told the story of Boyi and Shuqi knocking on the horse and admonishing them, and everyone listened to them with relish.
After the story was told, it was everyone's turn to report on the development of the People's Commune.
However, it is a pity that everyone is reporting good news and not bad news, and all they hear is praise for the People's Commune.
**Feeling a little disappointed.
He decided to go to Xingyang County through Ye Zilong to express his condolences to the cadres delegated by the ** General Office and other units, and selected 20 comrades working around him to hold a discussion in Zhengzhou in the evening.
Ye Zilong understood the intentions of ***, and carefully selected 20 representatives of labor training cadres of the ** General Office, as well as some other comrades, to go to the second guest house of the Henan Provincial Party Committee to meet ***
** Asked bluntly: "After the establishment of the People's Commune, did the enthusiasm of the masses increase?" What is everyone's attitude towards the People's Commune? ”
In the midst of applause, ** asked in disbelief: "Don't just say good, but also talk about the existing problems, I want to understand what difficulties and problems there are." ”
However, despite many urgings, no one still asked questions, just blindly praised.
**Feeling helpless, I decided to directly listen to the opinions of the grassroots people. He asked Ye Zilong to find more than a dozen team members who were working on earth blast furnace steelmaking in the field, and prepared to listen to their voices directly.
** It was somewhat surprising that these soot-covered comrades unanimously agreed with both the "Great Leap Forward" and the People's Commune.
He began to feel a little anxious, searched around, and suddenly saw Hu Xiuyun from the Zhongnanhai photography group, so he asked loudly: "Xiaohu, do you think everyone supports the People's Commune?" ”
Hu Xiuyun was slightly surprised, but quickly calmed down and replied with a smile: "I'm not sure everyone likes it, but I noticed that the women are very happy." They used to be busy around the stove all day, but now they can be freed up in the big canteen. ”
**After listening to Hu Xiuyun's words, he said with a smile: "Are you exaggerating?" How can a large pot be more fragrant than a small pot? ”
Hu Xiuyun replied quickly: "Some leaders are really good at exaggerating, one will boast more than the other, and the yield per mu calculated at night is 400 catties, and it will become 1,000 catties the next morning!" ”
** still smiled when he heard it, but he turned his head to Wu Zhipu and Liao Luyan, and finally stopped at ***, he said seriously:
Are you the same? Is it putting satellites, or is it amplifying artillery? ”
