Chapter 78 7. Corrupt official Liu Dapao

Wei Xiaobao: A bag of precious jewels and diamonds, but when it appears in the desert, it becomes worthless like a stone. Fog over the river: Yes, A is aware of this but B is not aware of this, so B will be at a disadvantage. Wei Xiaobao: Do ​​you understand now?Fog is blocking the river, and agricultural civilization has brought us more agricultural thinking, which comes from thousands of years of self-sufficient life.One mu of land, two cows, wife and children on a hot kang, working at sunrise and resting at sunset.The environment and state of life have not changed for five thousand years, so the thinking formed is also static and unchanging.

Fog over the river: What about business thinking? Wei Xiaobao: Commercial thinking is different from agricultural thinking. Commercial thinking is open, dynamic and changing.The essence is that the value judgment of things changes with the change of the environment.For example, the value of the same bottle of mineral water in the waterworks is completely different from that in the desert.However, because life in the agricultural age pursues stillness, neighbors hear each other like chickens and dogs, and they don't communicate with each other when they die.However, life in the commercial age pursues flow, so only in a commercial society, people will assign different values ​​to the same thing, but in an agricultural society, this situation rarely happens.

Fog covered the river: Yes, yes, this situation is very common. For example, a shovel is not worth a few dollars, but on a gold mining site, a shovel is even worth more than a gold nugget of the same weight. An agricultural society is unimaginable. Wei Xiaobao: I think I have made it clear that the difference between agricultural thinking and business thinking lies in the value evaluation of things. Fog Man Blocking the River: That's right, that's exactly what happened. Wei Xiaobao: But human beings have limitations in their understanding of things. Practices and concepts that do not conform to traditional thinking have never been understood. Therefore, in agricultural society, commercial thinking is called the thaumaturgy of statecraft and has become one of the most important things in the palace. It is a secret, and the people are forbidden to hear it, lest this kind of changed thinking will corrupt the morals of the world.Therefore, after thousands of years of fooling the people, we are now very separated from business thinking.

Fog filled the river: Is there such a thing? Wei Xiaobao: Of course. Fog filled the river: Mr. Wei, do you have any evidence for your statement? Wei Xiaobao: Yes, you can look at any place in China today, almost all officials are using agricultural thinking to manage the commercial economy. Foggy River Blocking: Using Agricultural Thinking to Manage Commercial Economy?Do you mean that our current leadership thinking is still stuck in the agricultural era? Wei Xiaobao: Otherwise, how could motivational slogans like "If you can't change your mind, just change your person" become so popular for a while?

Fog over the river: How did you change your mind?Can Mr. Wei give an example to explain? Wei Xiaobao: Okay, let me tell you a story about the corrupt official Liu Dapao. Fertilizer is one of the main means of increasing agricultural production.For a period of time, due to the acceleration of agricultural production, the supply of chemical fertilizers on the market became in short supply. For this reason, many places started to build chemical fertilizer plants one after another.However, the long-distance water cannot quench the near-thirst, and it will take some time for the new chemical fertilizer plant to produce finished products. At present, the problem of shortage of chemical fertilizers is on the table of almost every leader of the agricultural region.

Farmers from all over the country have expressed the strongest complaints about the bad behavior of chemical fertilizer dealers who wantonly raised prices. This practice that seriously harms the interests of farmers has increased the burden on farmers, increased the cost of planting, and made farmers overwhelmed.In order to protect the interests of the majority of farmers, all localities have issued red-headed documents to limit the price of chemical fertilizer dealers and formulate detailed punishment measures. Anyone who dares to cheat farmers will be severely punished by the competent authorities.

In the Jiangdong area, there is a small county called Shenggao, which is also facing a shortage of chemical fertilizers. The price department of Shenggao County immediately formulated an agricultural protection policy, hoping to protect the interests of farmers in this way.However, where the benefits are, the people are the trend. There are two chemical fertilizer distributors, but they violated the policies of the price department, secretly raised the price of chemical fertilizers, and ruthlessly slaughtered the farmers. This incident was exposed, and the price department immediately investigated and dealt with these dealers, planning to fine them according to the policy, but this approach was opposed by Liu Dapao, the magistrate of Shenggao County.

Liu Dapao has a straightforward personality, and when he thinks of it, he says that his loud voice is as loud as a cannon barrel, so he got such a name.He resolutely opposed the sanction of those fertilizer dealers, and personally went to say to those chemical fertilizer dealers who were anxiously waiting for punishment: "Don't bother with that, it's a market economy, follow the market as you go, how much fertilizer do you want to sell? As far as how much it sells, no one can control you. If anyone dares to tell you what to do, I tell you, it is illegal. When the time comes, you call me and tell me, and I will make the decision for you. "

Liu Dapao’s perverse behavior aroused great anger from local farmers and leading groups at all levels. All of a sudden, reports, complaint calls, and petition teams appeared in the district administrative office, accusing Liu Dapao of charging fertilizer dealers Kickbacks, collusion with unscrupulous traders, defrauding farmers and harming farmers. The superiors attached great importance to this, and immediately sent an investigation team to Shenggao. First, Liu Dapao was removed from the post of county magistrate, and then Liu Dapao was investigated. As a result of the investigation, it was found that Liu Dapao and those illegal fertilizer dealers There is no interest relationship.

So, what is Liu Dapao's purpose in doing this? Just when everyone was confused, there were countless chemical fertilizers pouring towards Shenggao in an endless stream.It turned out that because the price of chemical fertilizers was being restricted in various places, the fertilizer dealers were very angry, so they hoarded the fertilizers, resisted passively, and refused to sell at low prices.At this time, they suddenly heard that the market price of Shenggao's chemical fertilizers could make huge profits. The dealers were ecstatic and immediately shipped all their fertilizers to Shenggao.But by the time they delivered the goods, the supply of chemical fertilizers in Shenggao County was already in excess of demand, and everything was rare and expensive. When there were too many fertilizers, the price would drop, and those fertilizer dealers lost all their money. , complaining endlessly, but the farmers benefited from it and bought the fertilizers they needed at very low prices.

Although the matter was clarified, Liu Dapao finally failed to return to his original position, because although the interests of the farmers were protected, the farmers did not accept Liu Dapao's favor. , is still continuing to petition for the severe punishment of the corrupt official Liu Dapao.Under such public grievances, Liu Dapao had no choice but to go to the local forestry bureau and read newspapers every day. In the second year, the local fertilizer shortage continued, and the new county magistrate immediately imposed a price-limiting policy on fertilizer distributors. This policy won the applause of the farmers. Although the agricultural income dropped sharply that year, the farmers who were so hungry They are very satisfied, because they finally got a "honest official" that meets their wishes. Fog Man Lanjiang: Well, this story is good. The story you told Mr. Wei is great. It vividly educates our leaders at all levels that we must respect the laws of the market in order to engage in a market economy. Wei Xiaobao: Bullshit market laws, if you engage in theory, you will yell slogans unrealistically.Let me ask you, what is the law of the market?If Liu Dapao respected the laws of the market, why would the local farmers be so dissatisfied with him? Wuman Lanjiang: Um... this... the law, it refers to the internal connection of things that are not transferred by human will... this... the rare is the most expensive... the peasants are dissatisfied with him because... because What is it, Mr. Wei?I'm confused. Wei Xiaobao: The reason why you are confused is because you are a farmer. The fog filled the river: Me?farmer?Hahaha…… Wei Xiaobao: You don't need to be eccentric. Fog blocks the river. I'm not wrong about you.Not just you, even the workplace in the metropolis is full of peasants wearing suits and ties, speaking foreign languages ​​and wearing glasses.Although they have undergone the most modern packaging, they have never changed the agricultural thinking mode in their minds, and even use this thinking to require enterprises and workplaces.
