Chapter 396

"Well, now we all know each other! Let's start today's meeting. Today, our Secretariat invited a special guest, Comrade Xie liaosha, Secretary of the Moscow Youth League Committee! Maybe some of you are familiar with Xie liaosha, while some of you are not. Let me give you a brief introduction to this comrade. To say the first time I heard about seryosa, I heard it from our old secretary, comrade Andropov. It was only a few years ago that serious food safety problems broke out in Gorky University. The old secretary was very angry. He went to Gorky himself, but he was very happy when he came back. He said that he saw a young cadre with a lot of ideas in Gorky and made Gorky's spare time life vivid. He not only took care of the introducers, but also the difficulties in everyone's life. Who is going to be sick? The Youth League Committee can help you tide over the difficulties, and even purchase a lot of daily necessities from abroad at a low price to help you improve the quality of life. The old secretary is full of praise for this young cadre! Soon he was transferred to Moscow as Deputy Secretary of the Youth League Committee! " When Gorbachev said this, he took a drink from a water glass and asked him to go on.

"Our cadre is not idle when he comes to Moscow. Just a few months after his arrival, he reports to his superiors! Guess what, he wants to build houses for the broad masses of workers and solve the housing difficulties of ordinary families in Moscow! To tell you the truth, at that time I didn't believe that a cadre of the Youth League Committee could accomplish such a great event. However, Secretary Andropov finally backed him out of the public's support. In the end, we all saw that this comrade built the beautiful worker's new town in the south of Moscow. When the first phase of the project was completed, the old secretary and I visited there! Secretary Andropov once told me that every time I feel upset when I work in the office, I just walk to the window and look at the buildings in the south, and I feel that I have done some good things for the common people! " When Gorbachev said this, several secretaries here are very sorry. General Secretary Andropov has just passed away with high prestige. We still miss this old secretary very much.

"If cadres like Xie liaosha are evaluated by our cadre appointment evaluation mechanism, they are likely to get an evaluation that they are not doing their proper work! But such a cadre has done something that our Moscow municipal government can't do! General secretary Chernenko always teaches our economic cadres to have greater autonomy and dare to explore boldly. At present, China is in a new stage of Socialism -- the beginning of perfecting the developed socialist society. This is a long-term stage, which may require the joint efforts of several generations to complete the historical mission entrusted by this stage! In this context, the more cadres like Xie liaosha who do not do their proper work, the better! In his work, Comrade Xie liaosha has used a series of methods that we have never tried to solve practical problems. I can tell you that the workers' new town in Moscow does not cost the government a cent, and the construction funds are raised from the whole society. That's the ability.... "

Gorbachev talked for half an hour, but he was a little embarrassed. He forced himself to look ahead and calm down. Now he has some understanding of secretary Gorbachev's meaning. To give him the opportunity to speak at the regular meeting of the Secretariat today is to build momentum for him. After all, the cadres who have taught the secretaries of the Secretariat can be said to be recognized experts within the party in some ways. Gorbachev finished his speech with a change of the subject. First, he asked Xie liaosha to talk about a series of new methods and measures he had taken in the construction of Moscow workers' new town, and how he had built such a large and high-quality housing project without using any money from the state.

Xie liaosha adjusted the microphone in front of him. He sat at the end of the conference table. All the secretaries of the Secretariat are watching him at the moment, waiting for his speech. Xie liaosha hardened his head and said, "leaders, it's really flattering to be able to attend the meeting of the Secretariat today. In fact, the success of the worker's new town project is not due to me alone. It is the result of the joint efforts of our Moscow Youth League Committee, Moscow trade union and other brother units involved in this work under the care of the leaders. When I first came to work in Moscow, I didn't know what to do at first. Moscow is different from Gorky. It is not only the capital of our great motherland, but also the place that the aspiring youth of the whole country yearn for. When I first came to the Youth League Committee, I went to the front line several times to have a discussion with my league members and asked them what their dreams were. Many league members told me that their biggest dream was to have a house in Moscow where a family could live together, instead of living in the unit's silos, waiting for the country to give them a house until they had worked. At that time, I thought that our Youth League Committee is the mother of the vast number of young friends. Their difficulties are our difficulties. Whether our service is good or not depends on whether we can solve the difficulties encountered by the league members in their life and work! So I decided to take solving the housing problem as the focus of our work. "

"Secretary Gorbachev told us that you didn't ask the state for a cent at that time. How did you solve your financial problem?" A secretary asked curiously.

"Money is really a big problem. It's really whimsical for our Youth League Committee to promote such a large project. After all, our income is only the League fees paid by the league members and the funds allocated by the superior. This money is just a drop in the bucket for the first phase project of the workers' new town! For this reason, we thought of raising funds from the public. When I worked in Gorky City, I finally had some mass base. I issued some bonds through mutual aid associations, and raised some deposit for renting houses among young workers who were interested in the workers' new town in Moscow. In order to save money and time, instead of starting from scratch, we set up eight uncompleted buildings in the south of the city and solved the problem of funds in this way! " Xie liaosha roughly recalled some work in the early stage of the worker's new town project. Several secretaries kept asking questions about the implementation of the worker's new village project

On the next day, the front pages of the four official newspapers, news, Pravda, labor, and the Communist Youth League Pravda, simultaneously published the reports made by Xie liaosha at the regular meeting of the Secretariat.
