Reborn in 1976, teach him how to be an official

"To solve the food problem, the contracting system and the responsibility system are the only way."

"If we don't mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, this problem will be impossible to solve and we will end up in a dead end."

Bian Zhicheng flexed his right hand fingers and gently tapped the armrest of the sofa. After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "Comrade Gao Feng, what should we do with the surplus grain and other agricultural products the members have now? Should we open up the trading market? Then the problem of speculation and profiteering might arise..."

"Uniform acquisition!"

Ai Gaofeng said without hesitation.

"Secretary Zhicheng, we've built a feed mill, pig farm, and chicken farm, and they're very successful. We need a lot of grain for feed. There's no problem with procurement. Currently, there's still a significant gap in the export of live pigs, eggs, and even chicken, so there's no need to worry about that."

The pig farm in Chuxin County only has more than a thousand pigs in stock. How can this be possible?

There is no need to worry about solving the problem of unified purchase of grain.

Bian Zhicheng, after all, was the First Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and considered the issue more comprehensively. He was not reassured by Ai Gaofeng's explanation and continued to ask, "Comrade Gaofeng, have you ever considered that if you do this, grain production will definitely increase... Then, other regions will follow suit and we can all do it together."

"You have feed mills, pig farms, and chicken farms, so you can handle any excess grain. But other regions don't have these mills, so they can't buy it all in one place. What should we do with all this grain?"

Liu Hongyi suddenly raised his hand.

Bian Zhicheng smiled, reached out and nodded at him, saying, "Xiao Liu, go ahead and say what you want... Haha, today is just a symposium, speak freely, there's no guilt in speaking. You don't have to be so reserved, just say whatever comes to your mind!"

Liu Hongyi smiled and said, "Secretary Bian, there's plenty of food, so don't worry. Just eat to your heart's content."

The joke made everyone laugh.

Bian Zhicheng smiled and said, "Xiao Liu, you're a little boy, and you're still growing up. Of course, you can eat as much as you want. But you still don't understand our peasant comrades... They're used to being frugal, and they don't dare to eat as much as they want. If they really have surplus food, they'll definitely find ways to sell it, get some cash or tickets, and buy some oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, or a few feet of colorful fabric to make a new dress... Once this trading market is opened up, we won't be able to control it."

"If we don't open it up, it will become a black market again. This is a major directional issue..."

This is what Bian Zhicheng is most worried about.

If it were simply about increasing grain production, that would be a great thing. What would the first secretary of the provincial party committee be worried about?

Liu Hongyi smiled and said, "Secretary Bian, as you said, I'm a young man and don't really understand the big picture. I just think that more food is better than less. At least everyone can have enough to eat. As for having so much food that it can't be eaten, and the entire country has a surplus, that's probably going to happen in a few years. If other problems arise then, we can find ways to solve them."

"The leadership decided to establish a 'test field' in Chuzhou, and I'm afraid they also had this in mind."

"Take things one step at a time and solve the old problems first."

“When you encounter new problems, solve them.”

By then, perhaps the entire country's policies will have changed. What would you, Secretary Bian, be worried about?

When Bian Zhicheng thought about it, it was indeed the case and he couldn't help but laugh.

The key is a different mindset.

He has been too cautious over the years and is not as insightful as a child.

"Okay, let's handle the food issue according to your method. However, Comrade Gao Feng and Comrade Chu An must pay attention to control it well. We can't let go of everything at once. We must proceed step by step. Grassroots party organizations and grassroots political power must not be in chaos. We must ensure that the situation is under the control of the Prefectural Party Committee and the Prefectural Party Committee."
