Of the people present, only Daqing was somewhat confused; the rest knew about Song Lili's previous suggestion.
Li Weiguo spoke first, "Lili, what do you think we should do next?" After these few incidents, Li Weiguo no longer underestimated Song Lili and valued her opinions highly.
“The previous work points have all been recorded, so there shouldn’t be much of a problem with distributing the grain. The problem is that after it’s distributed, those Red Guards might be dissatisfied.”
"Therefore, we must be prepared for any eventuality and think ahead about what might happen," Song Lili said thoughtfully.
That was also the purpose of her coming in.
"I don't think they dare. They haven't even worked in the fields yet, and they still want work points? They're dreaming!" Zhang Shengtian said angrily first.
Song Lili and Zhang Qinghua exchanged a helpless glance. Zhang Shengtian could be quite irritable at times.
This one sentence ignited a fire. If the Red Guards knew about this, wouldn't it be like stirring up a hornet's nest?
"Boss, calm down," Zhang Qinghua said helplessly. "Nobody knows what will happen, which is why we're discussing it and thinking of all the possibilities."
Yang Weimin nodded in agreement, "That's right. With preparation, we won't panic when the time comes, and we'll be able to solve the problem."
"Yes, we must teach these brats a lesson. They really think they're all grown up and are always jumping around. If we don't stop them, they'll be out of control." Li Weiguo said fiercely.
Li Weiguo's words were met with a shake of the head from the other two elders, both of whom looked on with deep agreement.
“Yes, they’ve been smug for so long, and now something has come along to give them a blow.” Song Lili nodded in agreement.
Gradually, her ultimate goal was to suppress them so much that they had no desire to cause trouble.
"In the end, there are only a few possible outcomes," Yang Weimin said carefully.
"First, that means they accept it and nothing will happen, in which case we won't need to do months of work, but that's probably not the case."
"Secondly, some people agree and some people disagree, and we need to pay attention to those who disagree."
"Third, what if everyone disagrees? Although I think the chances of that happening are very low, who knows?"
"After all, food rations are very important to us, to everyone, and no one can say for sure."
"Overall, there's still a high probability of unrest, so we need to think of solutions in advance so we can remain calm in the face of trouble," Song Lili concluded.
"Do you have any good ideas?" Zhang Qinghua turned to look at Song Lili quietly, his tone surprisingly confident.
Song Lili originally didn't want to say it so soon, after all, there were several elders present, and she couldn't make it too obvious, so as not to make the elders feel that she was stealing.
However, since Zhang Qinghua asked and everyone else was looking at her, she had no choice but to say what she had prepared in advance.
"I think some people will make a fuss, while others will join in the commotion, and the families of those Red Guards will eventually follow suit."
"So, we can actually see the outcome: someone will definitely raise objections and oppose it."
“Using the excuse that you don’t get work points if you don’t work in the fields will quiet some people down, but not all of them.”
"What I'm more worried about are those who cause trouble. As you know, there are quite a few hooligans among the Red Guards."
"Therefore, to completely solve this problem, we must make them afraid to cause trouble again, and make them truly afraid."
"So, what I'm thinking is to just reply to them with the words from the Little Red Book. I don't believe they'll dare to make trouble over the Little Red Book again," Song Lili said coldly.
However, the others looked at each other, all staring at Song Lili with puzzled expressions, their expressions more complicated than anything else.
It seems no one expected Song Lili to be so ruthless, to come up with such a method.
What people fear most now is being criticized and denounced by the Red Guards, and the Red Guards' most trusted book is the Little Red Book.
If we use the Little Red Book to refute this, then who would dare say that the Little Red Book is wrong? They'd have to live too long, wouldn't they?
This is the only way to truly solve the problem at its root, and it will ensure that the same thing never happens again.
However, a chill ran through them, and their perception of Song Lili changed.
Only Daqing thought Song Lili was too scary, and secretly told himself that he must never offend her in the future.
Otherwise, look at how ruthless this is; even if he doesn't die, he'll be badly injured. He doesn't want to suffer that.
Only Zhang Qinghua didn't think Song Lili was ruthless; on the contrary, he felt that she had a different kind of charm.
He was fascinated by a domineering, imposing, and unapproachable aura.
As for the elders, they all looked at Song Lili with complicated expressions, and it was impossible to know what they were thinking.
However, regardless of their true feelings, none of them could deny that Song Lili's method was the simplest, most direct, and most effective way to achieve the best results.
This is what Song Lili thought of after seeing the contents of Qin Hongxia's Little Red Book, which is why she couldn't wait to come over.
"But we don't know anything about the Little Red Book," Daqing said with a sigh.
“They never thought of participating in those people’s activities, so they didn’t pay attention to the contents of the Little Red Book.”
"Also, the Revolutionary Committee had just been established and had not yet made the revolution a public activity, so it's not surprising that some people were unaware of it."
By this time next year, I estimate that no one will still be unaware of its contents.
"You don't need to worry about that. I've seen it, so I know which parts can be used. I'm here today to tell you uncles what those parts are."
"At that time, I definitely won't be able to show up myself; I'll have to rely on my uncles."
Song Lili never wanted to stand in the public eye; she just wanted to live a low-key life. If these things weren't related to her future plans, she wouldn't have come forward to expose herself.
"Okay, go ahead and tell me, I'll write it down." Li Weiguo quickly found his pen and notebook, afraid he wouldn't be able to remember it.
Zhang Shengtian nodded in agreement, "You should write it down, review it several times, and ideally memorize it, otherwise it will be embarrassing later."
Song Lili waited until Li Weiguo was ready before saying, "They will definitely say that they are responding to the leader's call, so they should distribute the grain."
"Then the rebuttal is to dig deep tunnels, store plenty of grain, not seek hegemony, focus on revolution, and promote production. You just need to grasp that the purpose of revolution is to promote production."
“They did not work in the fields. The revolution was launched, but it did not promote production or do what the leaders said. Therefore, they should not be given grain.”
These were the few least powerful sentences Song Lili could think of, but they should be enough for those Red Guards.
