From Su Yonglin's point of view, what happened in Guangzhou was very incomprehensible to him.
After seeing the situation in Guangzhou, he felt very annoyed.
"Are the people really unwilling to farm the land? If they don't think that the risks of engaging in agriculture are greater and the returns are lower than that of business, who would be willing to float around on the sea in the wind and sun, and encounter accidents if they are not careful? To storms and pirates at sea?
Isn’t it safest to plow the land? People think that it is better to engage in maritime trade. Why is this? Because they were forced so miserably by the powerful landlords! The government does not try to gain their trust, but in turn uses decrees to force them. Who are you? Bureaucrats of the Southern Song Dynasty? "
Su Yonglin slammed the table and angrily scolded the officials of the Guangzhou government.
"We are officials of the Ming Dynasty, members of the Renaissance, and revolutionaries! What do we want to do? It is to build a new world without exploitation and oppression, where the people feel relaxed and happy! What you are doing is moving towards this Direction forward?"
Feeling Su Yonglin's anger, Guangzhou officials and members of the local Renaissance organization lowered their heads and dared not speak.
Su Yonglin looked around, calmed down his mood, and spoke slowly.
"Based on our previous work experience in Hangzhou, urban citizens often still have a strong desire to return to their hometowns. The reasons why Guangzhou is different are that, first, the level of development is insufficient and the development cost is too high, and second, there is exploitation and oppression by powerful bureaucrats and landlords. Too ruthless, there are natural factors and class conflicts.
To solve problems, we must solve them in the direction of natural factors and class contradictions, instead of just patting our heads and doing whatever comes to mind. When looking at problems, we must look at the essence and solve the problem from its essence. You have all studied these theories. , shouldn’t not know.
If you cannot see the essential problem, then I will doubt what you have learned. If you see the essential problem but do not want to solve the essential problem, but use other methods to cover up the essential problem, then I will doubt you. Motives for becoming an official. "
Su Yonglin's words were not very forceful. On the contrary, it felt like a daily heart-to-heart chat, but no one present felt that this was really a heart-to-heart chat.
They respected and admired the chairman, admired him for his achievements, and regarded him as a man of heaven. However, they all knew that this chairman had launched two major purges, one externally and one internally.
Every time there were crowds of people.
Of course Su Yonglin was not joking, nor was he deliberately threatening them, but he really saw the problem and planned to do something.
As the territory of the Ming Dynasty expanded, some problems that were covered up in the early stage are now gradually emerging.
In the early days of the founding of the country, some of the cadres and officials trained on a large scale to meet domestic administrative needs were obviously incompetent. The hasty and rapid short-term training also allowed a considerable number of speculators to sneak in.
After the two major purges, the administrative situation improved, the old bureaucrats were eradicated by the establishment, and internal corrupt elements and speculators were also attacked.
But it is obvious that problems still exist, and as the Ming Dynasty continues to expand its territory, the demand for administrative officials and revival members is greater, making the problems that existed in the past still exist now, and there is even a tendency to expand.
Some people who were originally incapable of doing business or who were just pretending to be competent were also assigned to positions of real power. This caused considerable problems in the national administrative governance throughout the Ming Dynasty.
Guangzhou's agricultural problems should have been solved faster and better. Judging from many situations in the past, it would not be difficult for experienced officials and experienced revival members to handle these matters, at least it would not be delayed until now.
But until I came here, the problem was still dragging on without any practical and in-depth solution. The Guangzhou Renaissance Association did not even do the land reform work that it should do normally.
From the government to the local Renaissance Association, there are problems of dereliction of duty, inaction and even laziness in governance.
Maybe they are not corrupt, but lazy administration is still unacceptable to him.
What made Su Yonglin even more dissatisfied was that the administrative team and the Renaissance organization team in Guangzhou were selected together by the imperial official department and the Organization Department of the Renaissance.
Why does the Fuxing Association team in Quanzhou do very well, but the Fuxing Association team in Guangzhou does not do well?
Do their inactions and dereliction of duty also reveal problems in the selection of personnel by the imperial staff and the Organization Department of the Zhongdu Renaissance Society?
These things themselves were not heard, nor were they meaningfully reported.
Did the local action team set up by the Skynet Army not notice it, or did it focus too much energy on collecting external intelligence and neglecting internal investigation work?
On the surface, various problems are just a matter of poor implementation of government affairs in a state, but from Su Yonglin's perspective, they are problems at three levels: from the central government to the local government, from the government, the Fuxing Association, and the Tianwang Army.
It's the problem across the board, not just one person's problem.
It seems that in the past few years, he has focused too much energy on specific matters rather than the operation of various institutions, which has turned some small problems into big problems.
Su Yonglin didn't get furious on the spot, nor did he say what he was going to do, but pretended to take the issue lightly.
He planned to give them one last chance to see if they could wake up to themselves.
At the same time, we should also observe who is doing things seriously, who is just pretending, who has really learned something, and who has evil intentions.
Several years have passed since the last major purge. Some people have begun to slack off again. Some people feel that they can take advantage of the opportunity and start to jump around again.
Among the officials and cadres across the country, there are some people who may have never been idealists, but they just got mixed up in the ranks due to confusion.
Su Yonglin began to make secret plans, but on the surface, he only expressed his dissatisfaction and urged the Guangzhou government and the Renaissance organization, asking them to make a review.
It feels like lifting it up high and putting it down gently.
But this is not the end, but the beginning.
A few days later, after sorting out some of the information he had, Su Yonglin opened the meeting again and put forward his own views on this issue from other angles.
"I don't know if you have noticed another special angle of this matter."
Su Yonglin said: "The Lingnan region was originally developed late and has a small population. In fact, both the agricultural population and the commercial population are insufficient. Overall, the commercial population is even more insufficient. It is rare to have so many people who are willing to do business and go overseas. business population, why limit them?
We are going to engage in maritime trade anyway. Forcing them who yearn for the ocean to go back and cultivate the land will only make them dissatisfied. There will never be a shortage of people in the world who are willing to cultivate the land, but there will be no shortage of people who dare to think about setting sail on the sea. not that much. "
Su Yonglin thought about the problem from another perspective and discovered the value of this group of Guangzhou citizens.
He does not intend to force them all back to the land to become farmers, but intends to play to the strengths of this group of people.
In his plan, he wanted to establish a relatively stable commercial channel to foreign countries controlled by the Ming Dynasty. This channel naturally required many overseas settlements, and overseas settlements required permanent residents.
Isn't this the most suitable group of people?
Not only them, but also some people in Quanzhou and Hangzhou also have an inexplicable yearning for overseas. They are extremely rare mainland residents in this era who have a "heart of the ocean".
