"It is very dangerous to deprive land without settling farmers"

　　《 Zhu Rongji The Record of Speech (volumes 1-4) has been published by the People's Publishing House, and since September 8, it has been distributed nationwide by the People's Publishing House and China Finance and Economics Publishing House. The Record contains 348 important speeches, articles, letters, comments, etc., about 1.23 million words, during Zhu Rongji's tenure as Vice Premier and Premier of the State Council. 272 photos and 30 photocopies of comments, letters and inscriptions were collected. The manuscripts included in the "Factual Record" were compiled based on the audio and video materials and written transcripts of Comrade Zhu Rongji's speeches at important conferences and local and departmental surveys. Most of them were published for the first time.

The period when Comrade Zhu Rongji served as Vice Premier and Premier of the State Council coincided with the critical period of China's transformation from a planned economy to a socialist market economy. Under the leadership of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, Zhu Rongji directly presided over the reform of the fiscal and taxation system, the financial system, the price and circulation system, the state-owned enterprise government A series of major reforms, such as institutional reform, social security system reform, housing system reform, investment and financing system reform, have initially established the framework of the socialist market economy system. It was also during this period that China effectively managed serious inflation and achieved a "soft landing" of the economy; We successfully responded to the impact of the Asian financial crisis, reversed the trend of deflation, and maintained stable and rapid economic growth. The Factual Record accurately reflects the work of Comrade Zhu Rongji in China's reform and development. It is rich in content, vivid in language, rich in pictures and texts, and highly readable.

Yesterday, a number of readers were gathered in front of the latest book display cabinet of the Hunan Provincial Book City. They were reading the "Record of Zhu Rongji's Speech". The person in charge of the sales department of Hunan Book City told the reporter that 200 sets of the book had been put on the shelves that day, and more than 40 sets had been sold by 4 p.m. The majority of buyers are middle-aged people and white-collar workers. A teacher from Central South University told the reporter at the book purchase scene that "I was very happy to read Zhu Rongji's Answering Journalists' Questions two years ago, and this new book should be regarded as a sequel."

"Many folk sufferings are heinous. After reading them blood pressure Will rise "

The recorded manuscript of Comrade Zhu Rongji's impromptu speech at the meeting is included in the Record.)

[Five Requirements]

"I will put the person who dares to oppose me face to face and makes me stand down."

We must work hard and make every effort to build our government into a clean, efficient and cheap government. In Marx's "Civil War in France", the word "cheap government" actually refers to a lean, low-cost government that does not waste people's blood and sweat. "—— Zhu Rongji

Let me put forward five requirements to encourage everyone:

First, we should remember that we are the public servants of the people and serve the people wholeheartedly service We should not engage in specialization. Recently, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection sent inspection teams to some regions and departments, and found many problems. I can't imagine that many of them are still my old friends, so lawless, where is there any smell of public servants?! When you climb to this position, you think you can do whatever you want and enjoy it at will? How come!

Second, we should fulfill our duties and dare to tell the truth. If this government is all "good men", we will be sorry for the people, and we should be "villains". Don't say that "our society has become a mediocre society now, and we don't want to offend people. I will do otherwise." This is not acceptable. First, you can offend me. I'm not very popular and easily lose my temper. If you argue with me, I can blush on the spot. Although I am not a big man, I never deal with people or hold grudges, which can be proved by facts. On the contrary, for those who dare to raise their opinions, and those who dare to oppose me face to face, I will put them in an important position. Of course, I don't reuse everyone. If he doesn't have the ability, I still can't reuse him. But I will never hold grudges.

Third, we should exercise strict governance and not be afraid of offending others. Strict governance should be strictly enforced. It is not a matter of letting one go, but of the system. Otherwise, the fate of our country may be "let go". At present, many of our comrades are afraid of offending others by telling the truth and being upset by others, but you should Muddle It's not easy for me. We must form the habit of daring to tell the truth.

Fourth, we should be honest and clean, and punish corruption. Only if we are honest and upright can we punish corruption, otherwise we cannot.

Fifth, we should study hard and work hard. We really need to learn a lot of new knowledge. The Asian financial crisis, which we have not encountered in the past, is only learning. If you don't study, how can you cope with the unpredictable situation? How can you work without reading materials, TV, newspapers, and folk sufferings? I may approve the most people's letters now. Comrades must be concerned about the sufferings of the masses. After reading it, you know that there are many things that are extremely absurd and heinous. After reading it, your blood pressure will rise.

[Three chapters of the law]

"We work on behalf of the government when we go down, so the secretary of the provincial party committee need not accompany us."

We are a "community of shared future". By encouraging, supporting and helping each other, we can set an example for the national government system. Therefore, we should jointly "draw up three rules":

First, the investigation work in China should be simple, reduce accompanying personnel, simplify reception etiquette, and do not accompany meals or greet or send off. We took the lead. The Premier, Vice Premiers and State Councillors of the State Council went down to investigate the work, and only one cadre at or above the level of Vice Minister was taken with them. Other relevant departments could go to one director at most. Many problems can't be solved at all below, so it's unnecessary to bring so many people. Otherwise, the deputy minister is not enough. How can they afford to accompany so many vice premiers of the State Council? Don't let a lot of people go down to eat and drink, which will spoil the atmosphere In fact, it is OK to be accompanied by a provincial leader. For example, if we go down to work on behalf of the government, the secretary of the provincial party committee does not have to accompany us.

Second, simplify meetings, shorten meeting time, reduce meeting staff, and do not hold meetings in high-end hotels and scenic spots. We can go to poorer places for meetings, visit the poor to ask about their plight, and show the State Council's concern for the people.

Article 3 Except for the activities organized and arranged by the Central Committee of the Party and the State Council, the leaders of the State Council generally do not attend meetings convened by various departments, localities and units. We need to break the "meeting style". Everything we talk about is empty talk, and finally we don't implement it. At a meeting held by a component department of the State Council, the minister can report to the Vice Premier and the State Councilor in charge in advance. The opinions that should be put forward to you will be told to you face to face, and you can go back to the meeting. In the past, we spent a lot of time in such meetings and couldn't think about problems.

It is also stipulated that leading comrades of the State Council will not participate in such routine activities as interviews, photographs, awards, ribbon cutting, and premieres.

Inauguration speech

[Quotations of Zhu Rongji]

No matter whether the front is a minefield or an abyss, I will always go forward, never turn back, devote myself to the task and die.

——In March 1998, the First Session of the Ninth National People's Congress elected Zhu Rongji as Premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China.

I just hope that after I leave office, the people of the whole country can say that he is an honest and upright official, not a corrupt official, and I will be very satisfied. If they were more generous and said that Zhu Rongji had done something practical, I would be grateful.

——On March 15, 2000, I answered questions from journalists at a press conference.

In order to learn, we should be down-to-earth and not seek fame; Be fair and honest in your work, and don't leave behind to scold.

——In June 2001, he said in his farewell speech when he resigned from the Dean of the School of Economics and Management of Tsinghua University.

The table has been slapped and my eyes have been staring. As for saying that I did this to frighten people, I don't think anyone believes his statement. I never frighten the common people, only those corrupt officials.

——Answering questions from journalists at the press conference in 2002.

Retirement Summary

"Most comrades have not realized the seriousness of overheated real estate"

(Note: This article is excerpted from Volume IV, Pages 480-489, of the Record of Zhu Rongji's Speech. The original title was "Five Years to Remember." On January 27, 2003, Comrade Zhu Rongji presided over the ninth plenary meeting of the State Council, which was part of Comrade Zhu Rongji's speech at the meeting.)

The current government is about to expire. My biggest concern now is that the economy is overheating. I have been engaged in economic work for more than 50 years, and I can deeply understand this "syndrome" in our country. When life is just a little bit past, I will engage in grandiose style, blind complacency, inexplicable tossing and ignorant decision-making. I have talked about the overheating of real estate, but I found that most comrades have not yet realized the seriousness of this problem. They always first say, "Generally speaking, it is very good" and then say a little bit about it. Absolutely not! This kind of overheating is extremely serious. In 1993, the real estate was overheated. As a result, Hainan Island is still "covered in bruises". I read foreign newspapers and magazines, saying that China's bubble economy has formed, the real estate is overheated, and the risks are too great. Our comrades in the bank must be aware of this, because all this money belongs to the bank. I once again advise the comrades in the bank: you may have been promoted in the past two years, and you may not work in the bank anymore, thinking that if something goes wrong, people can clean up later. The reform of the current government's financial system has not been completed and the mechanism has not been established; But before the establishment of this mechanism, we Communists had been engaged in the economy for decades, so we should be responsible. Don't leave this burden to future generations and blindly develop.

What I am very worried about is "urbanization". Now "urbanization" has been linked with building houses. It is very dangerous to deprive farmers of their land at a very cheap price, let foreigners or real estate agents move in, and not settle farmers well. This is totally inconsistent with the policy spirit of the Central Committee. We have discussed it many times and are afraid of it.

Also, it is now a trend to engage in theme parks. This is not the case abroad. There are two Disney parks in the United States, one in France and one in Japan. Now theme parks have sprung up in many places in China. Foreigners don't pay for their own land. Your land is sold cheaply to others, destroying the country's land resources and using your money. What are you doing with this?! Now farmers in many places can't even eat. What theme parks do they have? Who will go to see them?

In the past few years, I have to watch Focus Interview every night. I think that if I don't care about the people's sufferings, what kind of prime minister I am! I will call the secretary or the minister when I finish reading. Although I know that the phone call is only for a few farmers or common people, I can appeal for their grievances and solve the problem. I feel better. I can't do big things. I can do little things.
