Although Chen Yun wasn't being criticized, many people were still dissatisfied. Fortunately, the few people who had been active in the previous meeting fell silent.

The Chairman talked to quite a few people.

The Chairman talked to the cadres who were particularly active at the meeting, especially those from several local central bureaus and local regions.

Hold on to it.

The Chairman's intention was very clear. Bo Shuchun should sincerely admit his mistakes. Other cadres should not hold Bo Shuchun hostage, so that this matter can pass smoothly. Since the Chairman has come forward, and Bo Shuchun has taken a step back and admitted his mistakes, and Chen Yun has taken the blame, it is difficult for everyone to continue.

But this situation is actually more embarrassing.

Because after Chen Yun finished speaking, the meeting fell silent.

No one speaks.

They all just watched coldly.

Finally, the Prime Minister spoke up: "The financial meeting has been held for almost a month, and the national debt plan cannot be delayed any further. I think we should discuss and pass the national debt plan as soon as possible to curb inflation. And only when the national debt plan is successfully implemented can we formulate the next fiscal plan.

The Prime Minister is also very tired at the moment.

New China had just been founded and the Prime Minister was very busy.

But during this financial and economic meeting, he conducted seven or eight self-criticisms. It's fair to say that among the current central leadership, the Premier has conducted the most self-criticisms. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, he has conducted countless self-criticisms.

He now wants to end this meeting as soon as possible and finalize the national debt plan.

Don't let it affect your next work.

The Prime Minister had spoken out, and the Chairman had spoken to individual officials, expressing his own thoughts. As a result, the situation had eased, and the Ministry of Finance's national debt plan was finally approved.

However, those who attended the meeting were senior officials in charge of financial affairs in local regions.

I have a lot of experience in financial work.

The final outcome of the discussion was that the national debt plan would remain unchanged. A large-scale monetary tightening was necessary to control inflation and curb high prices. However, the central government could not truly allow industry and commerce to die.

Therefore, the meeting decided to issue government bonds to withdraw RMB and tighten monetary policy. Meanwhile, banks would support important construction projects nationwide as conditions changed. This essentially meant supporting the construction projects of 1949. This method of injecting some RMB into the market would prevent a sudden deterioration in the market.

The Third National Finance and Economics Conference in 1948 finally came to a "successful" conclusion.

But Bo Shuchun suffered a great blow at this financial meeting and his prestige dropped greatly.

The financial power that the Ministry of Finance has finally regained is now in jeopardy.

After all, Bo Shuchun was indeed under great scrutiny at this meeting. Besides officials from the East China and Southwest China Bureaus, Xi Zhongxun, the second secretary of the Northwest China Bureau, also criticized Bo Shuchun.

The Prime Minister is still very decisive.

After the financial and economic conference, the Premier convened a meeting of the Party Leadership Group of the State Council. It ultimately decided to remove Bo Shuchun from his position as Deputy Director of the Finance and Economics Committee, and to transfer Mao Zemin to take charge of the Ministry of Finance as Deputy Director of the Finance and Economics Committee.

However, after this decision was submitted to the Central Government, it was overturned by the Chairman. In his reply, the Chairman stated that Bo Shuchun was a capable financial official. He acknowledged his mistakes and corrected them, so he should be protected.

Of course, the Chairman's tone was not one of command, but of negotiation. Finally, the Chairman suggested that Chen Yun personally take charge of the Ministry of Finance.

Finally, the Finance and Economics Committee adjusted its division of labor. Chen Yun, as director, was fully responsible for the work of the Finance and Economics Committee and was also directly in charge of the Ministry of Finance. The order of the three deputy directors, Wei Hongjun, Li Fuchun, and Mao Zemin, was also clarified, with Wei Hongjun as the first deputy director and Li Fuchun as the second deputy director.

Mao Zemin was appointed as the third deputy director. Bo Shuchun was originally in charge of the Ministry of Railways, the Ministry of Communications, and the Ministry of Labor, with Wei Hongjun in charge of the Ministry of Labor and Li Fuchun in charge of the Ministry of Railways and the Ministry of Communications.

After the State Council's proposal that Mao Zemin be in charge of the Ministry of Finance was rejected, the State Council again proposed that Mao Zemin serve as the deputy director of the State Council's Planning Commission, and serve as the third deputy director of the Planning Commission after Wei Hongjun and Li Fuchun.

The chairman did not reject this proposal.

However, the disturbance caused by the National Finance and Economics Conference was still too great, so the Chairman convened a Politburo meeting.

Chapter 792 Reception Fee

On December 1948, 12, Chairman Mao convened a Politburo meeting in the West Building of Zhongnanhai.

Wei Hongjun, Mao Zemin, Bo Shuchun and others attended the meeting.

The meeting just started, and the Prime Minister made a self-criticism. Anyway, whenever there is a problem with the work of the State Council, the Prime Minister will review it. Although this financial meeting was not chaired by the Prime Minister, it was the Ministry of Finance that had problems after all. Then Chen Yun made a self-criticism. Other members of the Political Bureau

They also expressed their opinions one after another.

The tone of the Politburo meeting was not high.

The third financial and economic meeting of Bijing has ended.

The State Council also adjusted Bo Shuchun's assignment. At the Politburo meeting, no one wanted to continue criticizing Bo Shuchun. After all, Bo Shuchun was a prominent figure from the North China Bureau, and Comrade Xiuyang's most trusted general in the Central Committee.

Moreover, the Chairman also highly values ​​Bo Shuchun.

Of course, Bo Shuchun himself is also very powerful.

The Ximenghui and the death squads he brought together alone surpassed many others. Although he had suffered a great political blow this time, it did not mean that he would not have the opportunity to rise again in the future.

So of course I won’t kick someone when he’s down at this time.

Although everyone criticized Bo Shuchun, they were just repeating the same old tune.

"Does anyone have anything else to say? Comrade Bo Shuchun, do you have anything to say?

After the Politburo members had finished speaking, the Chairman asked.

Bo Shuchun is very tough.

Although he did reflect on his actions, he still stiffened his neck and said, "I did make mistakes, but I don't think anyone can say for sure whether I made mistakes in the specific financial plan."

Many people were very surprised.

Bo Shuchun was even more stubborn than expected. He insisted that he didn't have that many problems with the specific financial plan. If the Chairman hadn't written a letter and the Premier hadn't advised Bo Shuchun, he wouldn't have reviewed his mistakes at the financial meeting.

Now it’s the Politburo meeting.

Bo Shuchun still believed that he did not have many problems with the specific plan.

The chairman did not blame anyone.

On the contrary, I admire Bo Shuchun's character. A politician who is too inconsistent is less trustworthy. Having your own principles and persistence can lead to political setbacks.

But it is a very admirable quality and he is someone worth relying on.

Although Bo Shuchun was attacked by everyone at this meeting, his other qualities were not criticized.

Gao Gang was not satisfied.

He had just passed the review at the National Finance and Economics Conference, and yet he dared to speak so confidently at the Politburo meeting. So Gao was about to speak, but the Chairman said: "Comrades, at the Second Session of the Seventh Central Committee, we formulated the

However, once we adopt a restrictive policy towards private capitalism, we will inevitably be resisted by the bourgeoisie in various degrees and in various ways, especially by the big business owners in private enterprises, that is, the big capitalists.

The system will be the main form of class struggle within the new democratic state. If we think that we should not restrict capitalism now and that we can abandon the slogan of restraining capital, this is completely wrong and is a right-wing opportunist view.

On the other hand, if one believes that private capital should be restricted too much or too strictly, or that private capital can be eliminated very quickly, this is also completely wrong. This is a left-wing opportunist or adventurist view.

“In the urban struggle, who should we rely on? Some confused comrades think that we should rely not on the working class but on the poor masses. Some comrades who are even more confused think that we should rely on the bourgeoisie. In terms of the direction of developing industry, some confused comrades think that we should rely on the bourgeoisie.

Some people think that the main thing is not to help the development of public enterprises, but to help the development of private enterprises; or vice versa, they think that it is enough to pay attention to public enterprises and private enterprises are insignificant. We must criticize these muddled ideas.

We must rely wholeheartedly on the working class, unite with other working people, win over the intellectuals, and win over as many national bourgeoisie and their representatives as possible who are capable of cooperating with us to our side, or keep them neutral, so as to wage a resolute struggle against the imperialists, the Kuomintang, and the bureaucratic bourgeoisie and defeat these enemies step by step.

"Comrade Bo Shuchun's mistake was that he failed to understand the dialectical relationship here. He forgot who we should rely on and that we should restrict private capital. Comrade Bo Shuchun made the mistake of rightist opportunism, but this mistake did not constitute

It has become a system, so it should not be said that the route is wrong.

The Chairman’s criticism of Comrade Bo Shuchun was very harsh.

After all, it was characterized as a right-wing opportunist error.

But at the same time, the Chairman protected Bo Shuchun. While severely criticizing Bo Shuchun, the Chairman also made a final judgment, stating that Comrade Bo Shuchun's mistakes were not errors of line. Now, Bo Shuchun's mistakes were merely work-related issues.

The Chairman's remarks provided a way out for all parties. While seriously criticizing Bo Shuchun's mistakes, he avoided escalating the issue into a struggle over the political line. Overall, the Chairman's conclusion was acceptable to both Gao Gang and Bo Shuchun.

Even Wei Hongjun breathed a sigh of relief.

China is currently still in the stage of economic recovery.

If a political turmoil were to occur within the Ministry of Finance or even the Executive Yuan, it would directly impact next year's economic and fiscal plans. Furthermore, once a political turmoil began, it would be difficult to halt it.

After all, Bo Shuchun is not a cadre without foundation.

If Bo Shuchun were to be punished, all the cadres who followed him would be affected. Even a group of people with no connections would be affected. This would not be a good thing for China today.

Fortunately, the chairman stabilized the situation.

The matter of Bo Shuchun was thus passed.

At this time, the Chairman turned around and said to Gao Gang: "Comrade Gao Gang, there is serious waste in the Northeast government agencies. Does your Northeast Bureau have any measures?"

When the Chairman returned from his visit to the Soviet Union, he and the Premier took the opportunity to inspect Northeast China.

There are satisfactions and dissatisfactions.

What is satisfying is that the development of Northeast China is in full swing.

Factories in Northeast China, in particular, have recovered and developed very well. Many Soviet experts have also arrived in Northeast China to help with the recovery and development of its industry.

There is a lively scene everywhere.

What was unsatisfactory was that the Chairman saw luxury in the Northeast.

Northeastern officials hosted a banquet for the Chairman, which was filled with a dazzling array of goodies. The Chairman did not lose his temper at the banquet, but only after it was over.

What is the current situation in China?

There are still a large number of people across the country who do not have enough to eat, and some are even starving to death.

But the Northeast is so extravagant and wasteful.

After returning from Northeast China, he kept this matter in mind. However, the Chairman was very busy with work after returning to Beijing, and the Northeast Bureau had also stated that it would correct the situation. The Chairman couldn't hold those cadres accountable.

So much time has passed.

But the Chairman did not forget this matter.

Now the Politburo meeting was held, and the Chairman asked Gao Gang.

"Chairman, the Northeast Bureau held a meeting in the back. These cadres were criticized. The Northeast Bureau is currently deploying a campaign against waste and bureaucracy in the Northeast."

The famous "Three Antis" movement started in Northeast China.

The rapid rise of Gao Gang's status in the early days of liberation was not accidental. It was because his choices were very consistent with the Chairman's. Starting from the land reform issue, the subsequent industrial construction, and then the launch of the "Three Antis" movement, Gao Gang was in a

Stand out among the cadres.

This time too.

The Chairman's anger at the extravagance of Northeast cadres actually also affected the Northeast Bureau.
