Chapter 34
"I know that the west-to-east gas transmission has a big impact, but it's not as exaggerated as you say. Zhu Ziqing said with some disbelieving.
"Exaggeration? Not at all. Do you know how much money the country is going to invest?" Without waiting for others to answer, Tao Yingshuang stretched out a finger: "One trillion, a whole trillion." ”
One trillion, Zhu Ziqing shook his head. I remember that I spent only 400 billion in my previous life, how did it become 1 trillion here?
But he immediately understood why. In the previous life, this project was decided in 2000, when there was no inflation and money was still very valuable. The purchasing power of 40 million at that time was no worse than the current 1 trillion.
Although they are two worlds, some of the laws are the same. It's 2012 now, and this trillion is equivalent to 400 billion in 2000.
"The West-to-East Gas Pipeline is a huge project, and do you know how many jobs it can provide? Millions, at least. You don't believe me when I say that. I'll do the math for you and you'll know. ”
Of course, Zhu Ziqing didn't believe it, but listening to Tao Yingshuang's sworn appearance, it didn't look like a fake. He also became interested in how he counted the number.
"The West-East Gas Transmission Construction Team needs a lot of workers. Engineering requires a lot of materials, and it takes a lot of workers to produce them. Material transportation, activating the transportation industry ......"
"The West-East Gas Pipeline cannot be regarded as a separate project. To complete this project, it will take the efforts of countless peripheral enterprises......"
"It's a 100-year-old project with high material requirements. If you want to become a supplier, you need to upgrade your existing production equipment. In the past, they also wanted to upgrade, but the investment was too big and the payback period was long, and no one wanted to be thankless.
Now it's different, half of this trillion is spent on material procurement. Hundreds of billions smashed down. Enough for domestic basic industries to complete the upgrading and transformation ......"
"The basic industry has been upgraded, and in the past, domestic production could not rely on imported materials, so you can buy domestic ones. Domestic production is definitely cheaper than import, and it reduces the production cost of other related industries......"
"Once the gas from the west is delivered to the east, it will be delivered to the whole country. It will also change the energy structure of our country......"
Tao Yingshuang explained one by one, and Zhu Ziqing's mouth grew bigger and bigger. He really couldn't imagine that the involvement of a west-to-east gas transmission was so big.
"Arguably. The West-East Gas Transmission Project has leveraged the entire country's economy with 1 trillion yuan. Now you don't think I'm exaggerating. ”
Zhu Ziqing still couldn't believe that what he said was true, and turned his gaze to the old man, hoping to find an answer from him. But the old man was calm and did not express any opinion. turned his gaze to Lin Bao'er again, only to see her nodding heavily.
"This ...... This ......" Zhu Ziqing didn't know how to express his shock for a while.
After finishing speaking, Tao Yingshuang saw that the old man was still indifferent, and sighed in his heart. After all, his surname is Tao, and it is impossible to disobey the old man's wishes. That's all I can do for Zhu Ziqing.
"Ziqing, you are a cultural person. Well written. Grandpa has something I want you to help me with. The old man completely ignored Tao Yingshuang and said kindly.
Zhu Ziqing was ignorant and didn't feel anything unusual. But Tao Yingshuang only felt the coldness to the bone.
"Grandpa has no use to come to my place, just say, I promise to do my best. ”
"It's not a big deal for you. I just want you to write a book to pay tribute to my old buddy. Perhaps thinking of his brother in life and death, the old man's cloudy eyes were full of sadness.
"It's my pleasure and I'm going to do my best to write it. But first you have to tell me what happened. ”
So, Tao Huguo told Zhu Ziqing a story of a 'soldier' and a scholar. The 'soldiers' were peasants-turned-revolutionaries. Scholars are university students. Studied at the Polar Bear's house.
The 'soldier ruffian' became a military supervisor by virtue of his military exploits, and after returning to China after completing his studies, he was assigned to be a political commissar. The two people went from constant friction to getting along. and then to the tacit understanding. It's a life-changing friendship.
But fate is so ironic, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the 'soldiers' wanted to stay in the army, but they were forced to transfer from the military to politics and serve in the local government.
The scholar has a furrow in his chest and wants to go to the local government to show his strength. But because he studied at the polar bear's house, he knows the polar bear very well. Sent to the north to guard the frontier and deal with polar bears.
Later, the domestic political scene was turbulent, and the 'soldiers' did not know how to protect themselves and were persecuted to death. Those politicians also knew that once the border army had problems, the country would be finished, so the turmoil did not affect the border army. The scholar is a general on the edge of the town and escaped a catastrophe.
When the scholar learned that the 'soldier ruffian' had died, he was afraid that his brother's family would also be persecuted. He quickly took his family to his side and took care of it.
Unfortunately, it was too late for him to go, and only a teenage child was left in the 'soldier's family. The scholar took the child home and raised it as if it were his own.
The scholar is Tao Huguo, and the 'soldier' is Lin Kaishan's father. The child who escaped was Lin Kaishan.
The story has ended here, but Zhu Ziqing tried to continue a part.
After the political turmoil ended, with the efforts of Tao Huguo, Lin Kaishan's father was rehabilitated. Lin Kaishan and Tao Anping also entered the military and political development one after another, and slowly developed into the current Taolin political family.
When brothers go their separate ways, let alone two political families that are not related by blood. Tao Anping and Lin Kaishan grew up together since childhood, and they are like brothers, and even if the two of them have differences, they will not get out of control. But when it comes to Lin Baixu, it's hard to say about their generation.
So with the help of several old people, the two families got married. Lin Baixu married Tao Hong. Fortunately, the two of them are childhood sweethearts and have a relationship foundation, and their married life is harmonious and happy. This is also the reason why the two sisters, Lin Baoer and Lin Beier, are favored.
"It's sad that such a hero was poisoned by a villain. Grandpa, please rest assured, I will do my best to write this book well. Zhu Ziqing sighed.
"Okay, I'm relieved to have your words. The old man wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said.
"However, I may not write exactly according to your deeds Grandpa, I hope you can understand. Zhu Ziqing said worriedly.
After listening to the old man's story, he directly thought of "Bright Sword". I'm going to reinvent this novel and use it. I just don't know what the old man means. If he doesn't agree, it's trouble.
"I know, you can write boldly, as long as you can write that kind of feeling. Tao Huguo said without hesitation. He is also a learned person, and he has a good understanding of the theory that 'art comes from life above life'.
With the old man's words, Zhu Ziqing's heart was completely relaxed. That's it, "Bright Sword". The details of the two worlds are different, but it's always much easier to have a reference than to write it out of thin air.
"When I talk about the political turmoil of that year, I still don't understand what those leaders thought when the country was first founded. The external strong enemy is waiting, and the internal waste is waiting to be revived, so it is not good to develop the internal fighting. Tao Yingshuang gritted his teeth and said hatefully.
"It's too complicated for people who haven't experienced it to tell. Zhu Ziqing shook his head and said.
"Also, most of those leaders have been abroad, so they should have a very broad horizon. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, they actually adopted a policy of closing the country to the outside world, I really don't know what they thought. If it is open to the outside world at that time...... Tao Yingshuang has a tendency to become an angry youth.
"If it opens up to the outside world at that time, China will really be finished. In this regard, Zhu Ziqing has a completely different opinion.
"Why?" Tao Yingshuang asked unconvinced. Tao Huguo and Lin Bao'er also looked at Zhu Ziqing with interest.
"After decades of war, the country was poor and white, and the industry withered. Not even a single nail can be produced, and matches have to be imported. If it is opened to the outside world, it can only become a dumping ground for foreign goods. Under the impact of high-quality and low-cost foreign goods, domestic industries should not think of developing. ”
This statement made the old man's eyes shine, and so far, no one has ever analyzed that period of history from this perspective.
"During the decades of seclusion, China tightened its belt and completed the construction of basic industries. From a screw to a spaceship, you can make it yourself. In addition to US imperialism and polar bears, China is the third country with such capabilities.
These are all achievements accomplished in the decades of seclusion. You must know that the United States imperialism and polar bears are a century-old power, and they have developed for hundreds of years to achieve this kind of achievement. And China did it in just 30 years when it was poor and white. What more can we ask of our predecessors?"
Under the infection of Tao Yingshuang, Zhu Ziqing also turned into a chatter and talked endlessly. You must know that in his previous life, he was an iron-blooded and well-known Wumao in the world. That's what comes easily.
Tao Yingshuang looked at Zhu Ziqing dumbfounded, he didn't expect him to say such a set of theories at all. I had the heart to refute, but I found that I couldn't find a rebuttal at all.
"Good, good, good. That's great. Tao Huguo stroked his palms and laughed: "Today's young people have not experienced that era, and they have only seen the disadvantages of the policies of that era. But I didn't think about why my predecessors did it. It's rare for Ziqing to be so sober. ”
As he spoke, he glared at Tao Yingshuang again, and said, "You don't know what you don't learn, you don't want to read more books, now you know." ”
Then he said to Zhu Ziqing with a pleasant face: "I haven't figured out a lot of the truth you said before. When you analyze it like this, I know what's going on. Go ahead and I'll see if there's anything else I didn't expect. ”
"Uh......" Zhu Ziqing gave Tao Yingshuang an apologetic look, and after a while of silence, he said: "It is on the basis of completing the construction of basic industries in China that the reform and opening up of the chief designer has been successful. ”
"Completing the construction of basic industries is the first step. Reform and opening up, the introduction of foreign capital to take the opportunity to hatch eggs, and vigorously develop the economy are the second steps. Now it's time for the third step. ”
"What's the third step?" Tao Yingshuang asked impatiently. (To be continued.) )
