Chapter 92 Letter to Xie Juezai[1] on Summarizing Financial Work Experience

(August 22, 1941) Mr. Xie: Informed on the 21st.What I want is what Mr. Lin[2] drafted by Lingcai and Jianliangting, not another plan.You are right in saying that with this year's experience, the plan will be more realistic.This year has a rich experience, unprecedented.The biggest experience is that in the public-private cooperation (80,000 people cooperate with 1.4 million people), the problem is solved, and the policy is proved to be correct, and there are solutions.As for the mistakes and shortcomings in the implementation of policies (in border currency, in the production and transportation of salt, in grain, in taxation, in public industry and commerce), they are all due to lack of experience, and we should make great efforts to correct them in the future.The adoption of these policies this year is firstly based on the two basic characteristics of revolution and war, and secondly based on other characteristics of the border areas (large land, sparse population, poverty, economic backwardness, cultural backwardness, etc.).Ordinary people (including members of the Communist Party) can only speak, do things, make ideas, and make plans based on their own experience, which is the starting point or methodology. Therefore, it is very important to pay attention to absorbing new experiences. do.With this year's experience in the border area, many things will be easier next year.This year, 80,000 people have been educated through experience, and 1.4 million people have also been educated (as evidenced by the report of Fuxian County). Cadres have been educated, and leaders have also been educated.It is the task of leaders to be good at summing up experience.There are various important tasks in politics, military affairs, economy, finance, anti-corruption, and culture in the border area. As far as the current situation does not undergo a major sudden change, economic construction is the center of other items. They are all active and easy to manage, not to mention democracy or other central work.These comments, without further study, are presented for your reference.Comrade Gao Gang [3] sent a material that is worth noting, please return it to Comrade Gao after reading it.I have read the account of Mr. Xu's [4] life, and it has been handed over to the Organization Department. The central government is going to solve this problem in a general way, not only Mr. Xu.Good day!

Mao Zedong August 22 Zhou Wen[5] can join the party group[6], a total of six people, please propose the Central Bureau.The government party group is responsible to the Central Bureau and implements the decisions of the Central Bureau. Its task is to grasp policies and sum up experience. Major events must be approved by the Central Bureau. When I said that Yan’s government-supervised pro-democracy movement included some forced labor, not semi-forced labor, it was what you meant by public-private exchange of interests.But we must admit the necessity of this part of compulsion. First, it is necessary to go during the agricultural holidays. Second, the 60,000 packs of public salt will be necessary not only this year, but also next year, and should be included in next year's budget.Mobilization for spring plowing and autumn harvest is also partly mandatory, but salt transportation is more compulsory than spring plowing and autumn harvest. It is quite different from completely free military mobilization such as grain transportation and economic mobilization such as road construction.But transporting grain and building roads is also necessary, and it must be admitted.We only oppose mobilization that wastes people's money and wastes money.And again.
