In 1958, at the Wuchang Conference, ** tried his best to suppress the exaggeration, but encountered stubborn resistance.
In the article, it was mentioned that on November 15, 1958, ** came to Wuchang from Zhengzhou to preside over the Sixth Plenary Session of the Eighth Central Committee.
The Sixth Plenum is scheduled to be held on December 2, so there is still more than half a month of preparation time from November 15 to December 2.
In order to fight the current exaggerated wind, Zhao Erlu, ** and others were convened on the evening of November 15 to exchange views on next year's steel indicators.
** Proposed that "industrial tasks, water conservancy tasks, and food tasks should be contracted", and solemnly warned that "if you get high pressure like this, sooner or later something will happen".
However, the stern warning of ** did not attract the attention of *** and others.
**On the afternoon of the 21st, when the comrades who presided over the meeting of the ministry and committee to discuss the 1959 steel index, they did not set the 1959 steel index at 8 million tons in accordance with the instructions of the first department, and he believed that it would definitely reach 22 million tons, and he could strive to reach 25 million tons.
Under the guidance of the first ideology, the steel index in 1959 was finally set at 22 million tons.
Very anxious about this.
Speaking at the meeting on November 30, he said: "I know that we Chinese, including me, are guilty of 'recklessness' if we want to enter communism as soon as possible." However, now that the per capita annual income of more than 500 million peasants is less than 80 yuan, and they are terribly poor, they have entered communism so quickly? What can be praised for such a 'poor communism'? The Soviet Union was built and declared socialism in 1938, and now it has put forward the conditions for 12 years from now to prepare for communism. It's good for us to say that some people will enter communism in two years, and some people will say that they will enter communism in three years, does this matter conform to the objective law? Didn't Fan County say that he had entered communism in two years, and I sent a few comrades to check it out. These comrades came back and told me, 'I won't be able to enter for two years.'" Not to mention two years, even if it is three or four years, five or six years, I feel panicked, for fear of making the mistake of adventurism. In the past six months, everyone's heads have been hot, and so have my heads. Now it's time to get alum, to compress the air, to pour some cold water. ”
Speaking of this, he said in a somewhat hurried tone: "In the summer and autumn of this year, two major problems have emerged in our country, 'people's communes' and 'steel as the key link,' which have made everyone a little nervous. I poured *** cold water this time. The plan should be positive and reliable, and it should be placed on a sound basis. At the Beidaihe meeting, everyone set 30 million tons of steel with enthusiasm, and now at least 10 million tons of these 30 million tons belong to subjectivism. ”
**Finally sighed and said:
Alas, I don't know how difficult it is. ”
**Side Tone Says:
It's not mysterious, it's not simple. ”
**Agree with ***, raise your hand to speak, and say:
Steel indicators, can also be studied in various places, minus a little bit of the national plan will not be affected. ”
** added: "In addition to the steel index, the agricultural production index should also leave room for a policy of reporting more and less." At present, the problems of work style in some localities, mainly the problems of coercion and fraud, have reached the point where they must be rectified. For example, in Zaoyang County, not a single illiteracy was eliminated in the literacy campaign, and the county party committee was in a hurry and ordered it to be eliminated within three days. As a result, it is ridiculous to report that illiteracy has been eradicated in three days, and to publish the story of 'eradicating illiteracy in three days'. ”
** Then we talked about this for an afternoon.
The next day, ** also made important instructions on paying attention to the occurrence of coercive orders and violations of law and discipline in various localities.
