"They set up experimental fields to study the planting of crops and built rabbit houses to raise rabbits."

"Rabbits reproduce too quickly, and the rabbit house can't keep so many. I said I wanted to make spicy rabbits, so Professor Chen asked my fellow villager, his students, to catch two rabbits for me."

"I made two. I'll give one to you, Grandpa and Grandma, to try."

Hearing Lu Baiwei calling her grandma sweetly, the old lady smiled with kind eyes.

"You are such a thoughtful kid. You and Xiao He can stay at home for dinner later. I will go chop the rabbit."

The last time I went to the clinic for treatment, I also had dinner here.

It’s not good to always stay at someone else’s house for meals.

This time I came with He Ting.

Lu Baiwei interrupted: "Grandma, don't rush to chop the rabbit. I still want to teach you how to massage grandpa."

"I brought two bottles of medicated oil. I'll teach you how to give Grandpa a massage first."

First, she taught the old lady how to massage correctly to relieve the old comrade's back injury, and then Lu Baiwei gave her acupuncture treatment.

Generally, the needles need to be left in for thirty to forty-five minutes. During this time, the old comrade chatted with He Ting, who accompanied Lu Baiwei to the consultation.

"Xiao He, how are you doing in the Department of Economics at Kyoto University?"

"fine."

He Ting said, "Our professor said that to develop the economy, we must keep pace with the international community. I also read the newspaper you asked Weiwei to bring back last time at school."

"It seems that the decision to support the use of comrades who have studied abroad as teachers was a good one."

"As Comrade Xiao Lu said, to develop the economy, we must discard the dross and retain the essence. We must discard the bad aspects of other countries and societies, and we must also learn from their advanced experiences."

"For society to develop, for the country to develop, and for people's lives to improve, all aspects are inseparable from the word economy."

"The higher-ups have high hopes for you students in the Department of Economics."

The old comrade spoke to He Ting in a friendly manner: "Xiao He, you have been in school in the city for a few months after going to the countryside. I think it is time to test the educational results of your economics department."

"Tell me, what do you think of the current stage of economic development?"

Fearing that He Ting might have concerns, he encouraged He Ting: "It's not a formal conversation. Comrade Xiao Lu is here to see me. Let's just have a casual chat. Don't feel any psychological burden."

"There's no one else here, just speak freely."

He Ting is not a shy person.

From the moment the officer who came to pick up Lu Baiwei for medical treatment said that the old comrade wanted to see him, He Ting was actually mentally prepared. He must have had some other meaning behind his request to see him.

Sure enough, it was related to his study in the newly opened economics department of Kyoto University.

Kyoto University established its economics department by feeling its way forward. According to their professors, their university's higher-ups had high hopes for their economics department.

What does the above mean for economic development?

This is a question worth pondering.

However, He Ting only weighed the matter briefly in his mind and decided to be honest about his thoughts.

"Grandpa, I've only been studying economics for a few months. To be honest, I'm a layman in economic development."

The old comrade thought He Ting was making excuses and looked disappointed.

He Ting changed the subject: "However, I can answer your question from a historical perspective."

"Before going to the countryside, I followed Mr. Zhou from our hospital and studied old things for a period of time. I had to understand the historical development of each period, which was the most basic lesson."

"I think that looking at the history of 5,000 years and the entire ancient society, the economic development during the Tang and Song dynasties gave us a good answer."

The old comrade went to great lengths to call over a student studying economics, naturally because he wanted to hear the truth.

His eyes lit up and he motioned for He Ting to continue.

He Ting was very cooperative: "During the Tang Dynasty, all nations came to pay tribute. During the Song Dynasty, commerce reached a high level of prosperity. The circulation between regions and between countries was an open circulation environment."

"I believe that only by opening up circulation can the entire economy be revitalized, the country be developed, and the people's living standards be improved."

He Ting said succinctly: "In a word, I believe that the market must flow so that the economy can thrive."

The old comrade asked: "How is the flow method?"

He Ting and Lu Baiwei had many discussions on this issue.

He knew his wife had a secret.

Of course, he could not directly state the results of their communication, such as developing individual economy, private economy, implementing foreign trade, and introducing foreign investment.

How to speak, especially in front of a leader, is an art.

It can involve related aspects and lead people to guess in that direction, but it should never be raised directly by him.

He Ting gave an example tactfully: "For example, we can buy a lot of foreign imported goods in the Friendship Department Store in Kyoto."

"We also have many old brands in Kyoto. The products of these brands have been precipitated over time and their quality has stood the test of time. Since we can buy foreign imported products in the Friendship Department Store in Beijing."

"Then why can't we sell more of our good products overseas?"

"There are deep misunderstandings about us outside. I think a large part of the reason is due to circulation issues. We have accumulated a lot of civilization over the past 5,000 years, and we have so many good things and commodities. I think only by connecting our culture with the international community can we let outsiders have a deep understanding of us and our society."

He Ting's words made the old comrade deeply agree, and he nodded in agreement.

The circulation between countries means strengthening foreign trade. Kyoto University has established an economics department, and this is also the plan.

This matter has been put on the agenda, and we should proceed step by step.

He asked a sharp question: "How do you think we should start the communication between places?"

In fact, when Lu Baiwei visited her this time, she had already realized that the house where the old comrade lived was not in some remote suburb, but in a very central area of ​​Kyoto.

Because the jeep passed by the lake today, she saw the palace wall not far away.

The courtyard is surrounded by mountains and water, and has a wide terrain, which gave her the illusion of being in the suburbs.

When the old comrade talked to He Ting about these very personal and sensitive issues, Lu Baiwei realized that his identity was not simple.

He Ting couldn't say the words "individual economy" and "private economy", so Lu Baiwei, who had a very good understanding with He Ting, spoke up at this time.

"Grandpa, I have a friend who is also studying in the Department of Economics at Kyoto University with He Ting."

"Before he came to Kyoto to study, he worked in the provincial transport team. The route he ran was the southern route. When he went to the south, of course he would bring some local specialties and dried seafood and fruits that are only available in the south back to his family."

"In the beginning, he only brought them to his family. His family thought the items were good and gave some to relatives and friends."

"Over time, everyone knew that he could get rare things from the south. Every time he went out, they would ask him to bring things from the south."
