Just when Li Yan was freed and was full of ambition for his future, his uncle was worried about the article that Li Yan handed him a few days ago.

Zhang Zhenghai's life in the township government during this period was not easy, and the wind of the great discussion on reform and opening up that swept the country in the early 90s naturally blew to Fenghuang Township. As the leader of the older generation of Fenghuang Township, Yan Shoushun, secretary of the township party committee, represented the conservatives and the reformists represented by Zhang Zhenghai, the township head, disagreed politically.

In the months-long tug-of-war, the Yan Shoushun faction gradually gained the upper hand, and Zhang Zhenghai had a tendency to be gradually marginalized. In fact, if Zhang Zhenghai can persist until the spring of 92, after the old man who lived in the capital toured south, everything would be fine, and when Li Yan was in his previous life, Zhang Zhenghai succeeded Yan Shoushun at that time to become the party secretary of Fenghuang Township. However, Zhang Zhenghai, who was in the torrent of history, didn't know this, and Li Yan, who wanted to push Zhang Zhenghai up again, didn't mention this, so Zhang Zhenghai's life was not easy. At this time, Li Yan sent him an article.

After reading this article, Zhang Zhenghai was a little shocked, he didn't expect that Li Yan, who has always been a child in his eyes, could write such an article, with such an opinion, and the words and sentences in the article are really deafening. This article expresses the voice of Zhang Zhenghai, who is a resolute supporter of reform and opening up, and solves many doubts about reform and opening up that have been plaguing him for a long time.

When Li Yan handed over the article to Zhang Zhenghai, he also mentioned some of the conversations he had with Lin Weidong during his participation in the speech contest, and the reason why Li Yan did this was also to strengthen Zhang Zhenghai's confidence, and when he left, Li Yan suggested that Zhang Zhenghai could change the article to his signature and publish it.

After reading the article, Zhang Zhenghai also had an urge to publish the article, but after years of government work, he quickly cooled down after the impulse, and he immediately thought of the possible consequences of publishing this article. If the development of Huaxia in the future is really as stated in the article, it has entered the fast lane of reform and opening up, then its own political future will definitely have to buy the fast lane of reform and opening up. On the contrary, if the development conservatives of Huaxia have the upper hand, then their political future will come to an end.

Zhang Zhenghai pondered for a long time, combined with the current domestic political situation that Li Yan analyzed in the article he handed him, and it seems to be a foregone conclusion that reform and opening up will not be as fast as the fast lane in the future, and then think about his current situation in the township, even without this article, if the conservatives prevail in the future, his political career will almost come to an end. On the other hand, if the reformers become the mainstream of society, then this article will have an inestimable effect on one's own political career.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, he first transcribed the article that Li Yan gave him, made simple changes to some of them, and then signed his name, and the next day he took the article to Shangyang Daily to find his old classmate Duan Yuzheng, the editor-in-chief of Shangyang Daily.

Duan Yuzheng was very surprised and surprised by Zhang Zhenghai's arrival, both of them were the first college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination, and the relationship between the two was very good during school. After graduating, Zhang Zhenghai entered politics, while Duan Yuzheng was assigned to Shangyang Daily, and after years of hard work, he became the editor-in-chief of the current affairs commentary section of Shangyang Daily.

Zhang Zhenghai told Duan Yuzheng what he meant, and then handed over the article to Duan Yuzheng. Duan Yuzheng initially thought it was an ordinary current affairs commentary article, so he took the article with a smile and read it. But before he could see it, he was already so shocked that cold sweat broke out on his head.

"Old classmate, do you know what this article will mean if it is published?" Duan Yuzheng asked as he looked at his old classmate seriously.

"You know, the worst outcome is to go home and sell sweet potatoes. Zhang Zhenghai pretended to be relaxed.

"Old classmate, you are so bold, in this sensitive period, you are a small township chief who publishes such an article, you are really ......" Duan Yuzheng couldn't find the right words to describe his old classmate for a while.

"Old classmate, I'm helpless too. Zhang Zhenghai had thought that this would be the case, so he smiled bitterly and said his current situation and thoughts.

"That's it, I'll try my best to send it to you, you must know that the articles published in the current political edition must first be reviewed by the relevant leaders in the city, and I can't be the master. Duan Yuzheng said.

"Okay, thank you, old classmate, find a place to have a meal together at noon, we haven't been together for a long time. Zhang Zhenghai said.

"Okay. Duan Yuzheng said happily.

…………

After watching Zhang Zhenghai drive away, Duan Yuzheng returned to the newspaper office and instructed the typist in the office to print out the article, and then he took it directly to the city government.

Duan Yuzheng did not go to Zhang Lianyu, the deputy mayor in charge of the daily newspaper, but came directly to the mayor's office, because Lin Weidong had told him beforehand that some important manuscripts could come to him directly. After Yuzheng published the comment that Lin Weidong asked to send some time ago, he has been labeled as Lin Weidong, and of course he obeys the words of his big boss, and Zhang Lianyu, who is labeled as Han Yicheng, is gradually elevated.

"You can put this article here first, I'll think about it. Lin Weidong put down the article in his hand and said to Duan Yuzheng.

"Alright, I'll go back first. Duan Yuzheng went out after speaking, this is only what he can do for his old classmates, if this article can be appreciated by Lin Weidong, even if it is not published, for Zhang Zhenghai, the goal has been achieved.

Lin Weidong picked up the article again, read it carefully, and frowned: "Zhang Zhenghai from Phoenix Township, strange!"

Then he picked up the phone, dialed a number, and said to the other end of the phone: "Give me the information of Zhang Zhenghai, the head of Fenghuang Township, Shangyang County." ”

It didn't take long for Zhang Zhenghai's detailed information to be placed on Lin Weidong's work.

Lin Weidong looked at the detailed information of Zhang Zhenghai in his hand, couldn't help but show a smile, and thought: "There is this kid everywhere, but I don't know if the point in the article was put forward by this kid or Zhang Zhenghai, it is estimated that this kid is more likely, it is impossible for a township chief to go to a junior high school student to talk about some national affairs, and he said it so profoundly, this kid is not simple." ”

When Lin Weidong read this article on the first side, he found that some of the opinions and wording in it were mentioned in the last conversation between Li Yan and himself, and whether he had told anyone about these views and wording, combined with Zhang Zhenghai's coming from Phoenix Township, he couldn't help but wonder if Zhang Zhenghai had anything to do with Li Yan, so he asked people to check, and sure enough, Zhang Zhenghai was Li Yan's uncle.

"Writing such an article at this time, I don't know what the little couple thinks, and Zhang Zhenghai dares to publish the article by signature, which is not small!" Lin Weidong said secretly, and then he made another phone call.

"Minister Gu, I have an article here for you to see. Lin Weidong said with a smile on the other end of the phone.

"Weidong, just call me Brother Gu, it's good for you, you've been called by the minister, you hear a lot of outside. There was a hearty voice on the other end of the line.

"Public is public, private is private, don't we all call you Brother Gu in private. Lin Weidong said with a smile.

"What kind of article, and let you, the big mayor, call me personally?" asked Minister Gu.

"I'll have someone send it to you in a few days, and you can see if you can send the article to the provincial newspaper. Lin Weidong said.

"The article you wrote?" asked Minister Gu.

"No, it was written by a cadre from a township below, and there are some good points in it. Lin Weidong said.

"Then I'm going to take a good look at what the article that the mayor can send over in person looks like. "Minister Gu is a little interested.

…………

In Lin's hometown in Zhongyuan City, Minister Gu accompanied Lin Lao to sit in the study, watching Lin Lao wearing reading glasses and reading the article in his hand seriously.

"Xiao Gu, what do you think of this article?" Lin Lao put down the article, took off his reading glasses, and looked at Minister Gu in front of him and said.

"Lin Lao, I think this article is more in line with the current policy of our country's high-level, very forward-looking, especially the three favorable criteria for judging the rights and wrongs of reform and opening up put forward in the article, which is very groundbreaking, but I am afraid that when such an article is published, those old diehards will be clamoring again, Secretary He asked me to ask for your opinion. Minister Gu said.

"This Zhang Zhenghai is not simple, our cadres must be able to have such insight, why is the country not strong, Xiao Gu, for such a cadre, he can't be buried. Lin Lao said to Minister Gu.

After speaking, Lin Lao picked up the pen and wrote a few words on the manuscript, handed it to Minister Gu, and then said: "You take this manuscript tomorrow and go to Secretary He to see it first, and say that my opinion can be sent." ”

…………

After Zhang Zhenghai handed over the article to Duan Yuzheng, he returned to Fenghuang Township to wait for news, but in the next few days, he would look for his article on it every day when he got the newspaper, but he was disappointed every time.

"Could it be that my article was shot dead by the city leaders? I haven't heard from him for more than two weeks. Zhang Zhenghai thought to himself in his heart. During the period, he called Duan Yuzheng to ask, and Duan Yuzheng also asked him to wait.

The articles that were thrown out of the sea sank into the sea, which made Zhang Zhenghai more and more worried.
