In the second half of 1952, due to changes in the mode of operation and circulation, there was a downward trend in state tax revenue. In order to meet the needs of large-scale economic construction, the then deputy director of the Central Finance Commission presided over the formulation of a new taxation system.
After the party group of the Central Finance Commission discussed and approved the new tax system, they reported to ***. After word-by-word review and revision, it was decided to start formal implementation in the following year.
However, after the announcement of the revision of the tax system, it immediately aroused strong repercussions in society, and many large and medium-sized cities experienced chaos such as price fluctuations and panic buying of goods.
The letters of reflection from various local leaders flew like snowflakes, which attracted the attention of the leaders and wrote letters to the relevant leaders to criticize.
**Conversation with Zhongnanhai **When the comrades of the Finance Committee of the organization were solving the problem of the new tax system in various parts of the country, ** asked him to go to Zhongnanhai for a conversation.
In the conversation, **remind*** to read more philosophical books and learn dialectics, materialism and logic. However, ** said that he was busy with work and didn't have time to study, which made *** a little serious.
At that time, **because of illness and recuperation, ** became the director of the Central Finance Commission, and at the same time had to be responsible for agriculture and water conservancy and other departments, which was indeed a little inadequate.
**Understanding the situation of ***, he sincerely told *** that it is not right that you do not have time to study. During the October Revolution, Lenin was also busy, but he kept the intricacies in order.
You make mistakes because you lack a core ...... that runs through everything”
Shortly after the talk, the National Financial Conference was held in Beijing. During the meeting, he was severely criticized for the introduction of the new tax system, and some people used this to attack him, causing the meeting to deviate from the original direction of the chairman.
**I did two reviews at the meeting, but I still couldn't pass the test, and the atmosphere became more and more tense. The whole meeting seemed to have turned into a critique meeting. In order to control the development of the situation, ** decisively refused when asked for a review for the third time.
** reported the decision to the chairman, who smiled and said, "Comrade * does not need to review it. ”
At a critical moment in the meeting, there was confusion about how to grasp the progress of the meeting. If the words are too light, they may be misunderstood as cover-ups***, but if they are too heavy, they may be taken advantage of.
At this point, the Chair suggested that *** please come back and *** to the meeting. Although they only participated in the second half of the meeting, their presentations had a profound impact on the meeting, giving *** a better idea of the conclusions of the meeting.
was named and criticized at the meeting, ** felt a great grievance, and had the idea of wanting to work at the grassroots level. After he reflected these ideas to his superiors, he talked to him again, emphasizing the importance of his work in the Central Finance Commission, and enlightened him, saying that if he couldn't figure it out after being criticized, he could go to the old comrades to confide: "You don't feel like the sky is falling, you should go out for a walk, see the outside world, change the air, and see the bright future." ”
According to the suggestion of ***, ** went to some provinces and cities for a 40-day investigation, and after returning to Beijing, he wrote a report to ***, on the one hand, he reported his own research, and on the other hand, he also reflected and corrected his understanding of financial and economic work.
**In-depth reading of the report, each line is annotated, and the report is sent to ** and comrades in the financial department for reference. Subsequently, **instructed*** to share his observations and experiences at the ** rural work meeting.
Many years later, ** recalled this history, and was still deeply moved: "*'s care, support and help for me are the most precious treasure in my life. ”
In fact, since the two met, ** has been fully supporting ***'s work.
In 1943, ** met *** for the first time in Yan'an, he held ***'s hand and said to himself: "Walking on thin ice, walking on thin ice!" He recounted his experience in Peking Prison in detail and highly praised his actions in organizing the study of revolutionary theories in prison.
Their conversation lasted a full eight hours and made a great impression on ***. In particular, his extensive wisdom and profound thoughts have further deepened his understanding and admiration for him.
In the later Yan'an Rectification Movement, under the guidance of the People's Republic of China, the level of political ideology was significantly improved.
**, 37 years old, stood out at the Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China and was successfully elected as a member. This is due to the affirmation and respect of his ability. Shortly after the convening of the Seventh National Congress, Chen Geng thought that it was not appropriate for *** to come from prison ** and be an alternate member, so he asked *** to report to ***.
However, ** insisted that ***'s qualifications, abilities and achievements were enough to make him a full-fledged ** commissioner. In the end, ** showed its style at the Seventh National Congress and won everyone's recognition.
In 1948, he shouldered the heavy responsibility of presiding over the work of the North China Bureau and took over the important task of taking over Pingjin. Before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, in addition to directing the People's Liberation Army to continue to march across the country, it was also necessary to grasp the economy of the whole country, curb inflation that had lasted for many years, and achieve economic stability throughout the country.
After determining that ** was in charge of economic work, ** personally talked to ***, hoping that he would go to the Finance Committee to assist**. said that he was very willing to assist **, but he still had a job in the North China Bureau, and he was worried that there would be problems in holding two positions.
Why not move the North China Bureau to the Finance Committee? "Suggested with a smile. Since then, he has devoted himself to the work of the Central Finance Commission, and in just one year, he has successfully controlled inflation and stabilized the national economy.
After the 1953 National Conference on Finance and Economics, he was dismissed from his post as Minister of Finance due to the turmoil over the new tax system. However, when the truth of the turmoil at the National Financial Conference was revealed, ** presided over the *** meeting, publicly justified ***, and completely eliminated the misunderstanding.
Since 1954, Comrade ** has served as the director of the National Construction Commission, the director of the State Economic Commission, at the Eighth National Congress, he was elected as a member of the National Congress and became an alternate member of the Politburo, and later was appointed as the vice premier.
At the 1962 work conference, Comrade **'s outstanding contributions to economic work were affirmed, and he was praised as one of the "'Four Famous Dans' in China's Economic Work", which was on a par with comrades such as ** and other comrades.
In 1979, after a decade of political turmoil, the opinion of *** on the organization of work was sought. In the end, it was decided that *** would be the deputy prime minister, and ** expected him to make notable achievements in the field of reform.
After taking office, he immediately devoted himself to the mission of adjusting the national economy. Despite his advanced years, he spent several months traveling to most parts of the country to conduct investigations and studies, and went down to the grassroots level to listen to various reactions and opinions.
He was enthusiastic about the creation of the Special Economic Zone and became one of the first leaders to visit the Special Economic Zone.
After the establishment of the Central Advisory Committee, he was appointed deputy director, and he played a key role in assisting the cause of reform and unification of the whole party. In 1992, after the completion of the historical mission of the Central Advisory Committee, ** officially retired and faded out of the public eye.
However, his great contribution to the development of New China will always be remembered.
