Chapter 85: The Guards

End of July. The 9th Party Congress of coM Ludong Province was successfully concluded. The new members of the provincial party committee, alternate members, and delegates to the party congress of the republic were elected. Subsequently, the first plenary meeting of the Ninth Committee was held. Thirteen members of the Standing Committee of the Ludong Provincial Party Committee were elected. Secretary and Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee.

So far. The re-election of party committees in all provinces and municipalities across the country has basically come to an end. Among the secretaries of more than 30 provincial (municipal) party committees. The most eye-catching thing is that Tang Wandong of Lingnan Province was re-elected. Before the change of Lingnan. There was once a rumor that Tang Wandong would be transferred to the secretary of the Wandong Provincial Party Committee. But it's clear. The Tang faction did not want to get involved in the struggle between the two factions, which were now increasingly opposed. In the 90s, with the rise of the chairman's rise to the top, the struggle between the eastern and northern factions in eastern Anhui and northern factions has reached a fever pitch in this re-election. And because the Tang and Xie departments have not yet appeared as powerful figures. Relatively speaking, it is in a smooth transition. Especially the Xie department. After the heavyweight Guan Husheng was beaten down. The infighting continues. This reshuffle will undoubtedly give them an opportunity to readjust the distribution of power.

once collided with the eastern Anhui faction. Joined forces with the northern faction and gradually took over the eastern Anhui faction, which originally had another base camp, and the Lingnan Tang faction. Undoubtedly, the northern faction wants to win a strong ally. Using the Tang faction to get involved in the eastern Anhui faction is the situation that the northern faction hopes to see the most. But it's clear. The top of the Tang faction did not want the eastern Anhui faction to lose ground too soon. I don't want to get too involved in this struggle. He didn't pay much attention to the olive branch thrown by the northern faction.

This month got Tang Yi. In addition to frequent attendance at various provincial and municipal meetings. They also inspected the preparations for the NPC in the districts under their jurisdiction. He also took the opportunity to go deep into the countryside. Talks with farmers. Listen to the opinions of the peasants. Although I know this form, I can't hear what I want to hear for the most part. But still the same sentence. Things have to be done.

Fruity aromas. The peach orchard in Fuping City is the early peach ripening season. Tang Yihe, Vice Mayor Ma Jie, Deputy Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee, Yu Liang, Director of the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee, and other city leaders, accompanied by Su Chaoqunde, Mayor of Fuping City, went to Fuping Village to inspect.

Outside a fruity peach orchard. Tang Yi motioned to stop. led a group of cadres into Taoyuan. The weather is hot and muggy. It's even worse in Taoyuan. The peach farmer's family and hired small workers are busy. The staff called the host. It was said that Secretary Tang of the Huanghai Municipal Party Committee came to visit everyone. The peach farmer scolded his mother in his heart. Be careful to talk to the secretary. Fortunately, the young secretary only asked a few words. I have repeatedly asked everyone to be busy. It didn't delay him for a long time. It made the peach farmer feel a little guilty.

Out of the peach orchard. Tang Yi looked at the scattered corn fields, fruit fields, and bean fields. sighed inwardly. Over time. To a certain extent, the distribution of farmland to households has constrained the development of rural modernization. Of course. Because the republic has a large population. Engage in cooperative mechanized operations. The question of how to arrange the labor force in the liberated areas is a problem. It is to reform the rural areas. Be cautious. But after examining the North Korean collective farm model. Tang Yi is convinced. It doesn't matter how rough and difficult the road is. After all, the first step must be taken. The shortcomings of the smallholder economy should not be ignored just because there is an abundance of labour. Not to mention the young people now. Ken, like his father, has been left in the countryside and has less and less arable land. More and more people go out to work. Rural society is gradually moving towards modernization. It's the trend of the times.

Sit in an Audi. Tang Yi gradually made up his mind. We must carry out the rural reform on a pilot basis. It can't be done within the scope of Taizhou. At the very least, a preliminary test should be carried out in a town in Taizhou.

Yu Liang sat beside Tang Yi. Looking at the documents obtained by the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee. Tang Yi took office as secretary of the municipal party committee not long ago. He was transferred to the post of deputy secretary general of the municipal party committee. He did not take over the post of secretary-general of the Deng Wenzhi government as the outside world speculated. This can also be regarded as a signal for Tang Yi to appease Huang Xiangdong. Tang Yide has many ideas. It is necessary to get Huang Xiangdong's support. If Huang Xiangdong does not cooperate. The resistance will be great.

The music rings on the phone. Tang Yi picked up his phone. The number that jumps on the screen is the number of Lu Chengde. Put through. The voice on the phone was low and majestic. There is a sense of self-confidence and majesty. "Secretary Tang. I'm Hu Peng! ”

Tang Yi is a testimony. Then he smiled and said, "Commander Hu." Hello. "It was Hu Peng, commander of the Jinan Military Region, who had just been transferred from the Guangzhou Military Region. The leadership level of the Jinan Military Region has always been close to the Ning family. Although the commanders of the military districts change from time to time. But those who can come to Jinan to serve are usually close to the generals of the Ning family. At the beginning, Chief Ning was also placed in the Jinan Military Region for training. And Commander Hu. In the first month of this year, Tang Yi and Xiaomei also visited him. He is an old man full of majesty.

"Secretary Tang. There's something to bother you. Inuko Xiaoqiu. Probably to the Yellow Sea. I'm going to ask you to help me find it. Commander Hu's voice was a little depressed. He sighed softly as he spoke.

Tang Yi smiled: "No problem." Xiaoqiu has come to the Yellow Sea. I want to be with him, too. You call me. I'll talk to him. "Hu Xiaoqiu is the youngest son of Commander Hu. The flesh and blood are just getting old. It seems to be a bit rebellious. Tang Yi had seen him once. But he didn't say a few words. Listening to the tone, it seems that Hu Xiaoqiu is running away from home. Tang Yi was inconvenient to ask more. Only talk to Hu Xiaoqiu by himself. persuaded him to go home.

Commander Hu said: "That's good. I'll ask Xiao Zhao to contact you. I'll send you the photo and number later. ”

Tang Yi smiled and said okay. Commander Hu said a few more polite words. Hung up the phone. Tang Yi shook his head. Every family has a book that is difficult to read!

A few minutes later. Tang Yide's phone rang again. This time, the call had to be Xiao Zhao in Commander Hu's mouth. Commander Hu had to be a personal guard. Xiao Zhao gave Hu Xiaoqiu's phone number to Tang Yihou. Sighing, he said, "He's been turned off." Maybe the card was changed. ”

Tang Yi had a headache. So how to find it? You can't ask the public security officers to check the Huanghai Hotel. Let alone. Maybe Hu Xiaoqiu lives at a friend's house?

Xiao Zhao hesitated. said: "Secretary Tang." It's possible. Can you persuade the chief? ”

Tang Yi was slightly stunned. "Persuade Commander Hu? What's wrong? ”

Xiao Zhao sighed. "That's what happened. Xiaoqiu: He was impulsive. Wounded the babysitter with a double-barreled shotgun. In fact, it was a bruise on the arm. But the chief was particularly angry. Said he would wait until he was caught. Send him to court. The chief can say it and do it! ”

Tang Yi frowned. Ask again why the shots were fired. Xiao Zhao stood up. Tang Yi didn't ask any more. Hung up the phone. It's a bit of a headache. I thought it was a small thing. Look now. But it's extremely complex. Involving Commander Hu's family affairs. Poorly handled. will offend people at both ends.

Return to the Yellow Sea in the evening. Sure enough, I received a fax from Xiao Zhao. Tang Yi looked for Junzi overnight. Gave him the photo. I asked the army to scatter his hands and look for it.

At the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. Tang Yi was still thinking about Hu Xiaoqiu's success. Commander Hu opened his mouth to beg for himself. How do you have to do it properly, don't you?

The conference room was solemn and solemn. The bright red party flag hangs on the walls. Song Bin, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, presided over the meeting. The Standing Committee members agreed in principle and adopted the "Implementation Opinions of the Ludong Provincial Party Committee and the Ludong Provincial People's Government on the Implementation of the Development Plan for the Coastal Areas of Ludong" and the "Development Plan for the Coastal Areas of Ludong" and the linkage of the three cities of Tangyide. Approved by the State Council. On a series of issues involving the development of Ludong. The Standing Committee members had to speak thoroughly and to the point. If you have just entered the meeting room. I couldn't have imagined that there was an undercurrent surging in it. The mystery is hidden.

During the discussion of the Standing Committee. Tang Yi thought of the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee a few days ago. After Huang Xiangdong became mayor. It was quiet all the time. He took over a series of measures when Tang Yi was mayor. Looks very cooperative. At the Standing Committee, it seems to have become Tang Yide's word. But the more so. On the contrary, Tang Yi was a little worried. Huang Xiangdong will not be willing to be his puppet. Maybe. He's waiting for his chance, right?

on the venue. Xu Weilun's subdued voice sounded. Tang Yi's spirit is a lift. Tang Yi likes to listen to Xu Weilun's views. Very original. can give Tang Yi a lot of inspiration.

Xu Weilun talked about some shortcomings in Ludong's economic development. From the mid-nineties. Lu Dong sat on the top three places in the country's total economic output. There is even a saying in other provinces about the "Ludong model". But Xu Weilun made no secret of it. It is pointed out that the economic and non-governmental forces in Ludong are underdeveloped. In addition to Huanghaide, a large number of star enterprises. There are few business groups in Ludong that can get their hands on it. The gap between China and the economically strong provinces in the south is obvious. Xu Weilun put forward more sharply. Hwanghyde's economic policy is led by the central government. Then the Yellow Sea has economic success. Can it be counted on Lu Dongde's books?

Xu Weilun finished speaking. There was silence in the conference room. It's hard for everyone to say anything. Secretary Song likes the "Ludong model" very much. The small meeting of the conference has also been mentioned again and again. And Governor Xu is very sharp. Surprise words often pop up in meetings. Some are unsociable. But everyone has to admit it. That's what makes him so charming. Tang Yi often thinks. It is not for nothing that the leader who may reach the top this year values Governor Xu. in the superstructure of the republic. There are more officials like this. It's a good thing.

Governor Xu finished speaking. Naturally, Secretary Song said. Secretary Song put down the teacup. smiled and said: "There is some truth in what Governor Wei Lun said. But the Yellow Sea has to develop. It is also due to the economic environment of the entire Ludongde. At this point. It can't be seen in isolation. And the provinces are all in the Tirudong model. We don't talk about it ourselves. Inexcusable. You can't just look at the negatives. Be more positive. Our economic development in Ludong is still positive. It's still a good place overall! After speaking, Secretary Song glanced at Xu Weilun. Xu Weilun nodded slightly. Pick up a teacup and drink water.

Today, Governor Xu did not sing a one-man show. After Governor Xu and Secretary Song spoke. Tang Yi also spoke. This was the first time he expressed his views on the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. It immediately attracted the attention of the Standing Committee. Yu Fangzhou also raised his head. Listen intently to Tang Yi's speech.

Tang Yi's voice was not loud. But by nature it seems to be magnetic. Every word is clearly audible: "Speaking of economic development." I think it's time to talk about respecting the law. Respect for nature. Recently. The economic construction of our province is developing rapidly. However, the problems of environmental protection are also becoming more and more prominent. The year before and last year. The GDP growth of our province has remained at about 13%. Higher than the national average. And our base ensures that our GDP growth is advantageous. But these two years. The province's major waste emissions are among the highest in the country. I've seen a table. The total sulfur dioxide emissions in our province rank first in the country. Chemical oxygen demand is among the top three in the country. This. We can't help but pay attention to it. In particular, the State Council approved the coastal plan. This is an opportunity for the development of our Ludong Peninsula. It also brings challenges. I think that in order to make the economy of our province develop quickly and well. Energy conservation, emission reduction, and improvement of environmental resources should be regarded as the top priority of economic development in the coming period. In particular, cadres who have committed crimes of dereliction of duty in destroying environmental resources. We must intensify our investigation and punishment. ”

For the first time, he spoke at a conference that could affect a major economic province. Tang Yi was as calm as water. Even I was a little surprised that I had to be calm.

Song Bin glanced at Tang Yi deeply. Nodding. Comrade Tang Yi said. It's a problem! ”

Xu Weilun smiled and said, "I think we can make a resolution." Tang Yi. It's up to you to make the first draft. Before the next Standing Committee. Send Secretary Song and me to have a look. ”

Tang Yi was slightly stunned. He nodded.

The Standing Committee has to be last. It was decided to establish a leading group for the development of coastal areas in Ludong Province. It is mainly responsible for the planning and management, policy research, overall coordination, promotion of major projects and fund raising for the development of the coastal areas of eastern Shandong.

Under the nomination of Governor Xu. Tang Yi also entered the leading group. He served as the deputy team leader. The executive deputy leader is Cai Guoping.

After the end of the Standing Committee. Tang Yi called Xiao Zhao. It's been four or five days. Hu Xiaoqiu was also not found. Although Commander Hu did not rush. Tang Yi also had to explain.

Xiao Zhao sighed and said, "It's okay if you can't find it." The chief is angry. Now Xiaoqiu is back. Definitely beaten. ”

Tang Yi smiled: "Then you have to find it?" Do you know what kind of friends he has in the Yellow Sea? ”

Xiao Zhao thought for a while and said, "I haven't heard of this. Then he said "huh". said, "Commander Xiao has a son." Engage in real estate to do that. It's good with Xiaoqiu. He seems to be in the Yellow Sea, right? ”

Xiao Qiang? Tang Yi knew. He really had to set up a branch in the Yellow Sea. It is to compete for the bidding for the Yellow Sea Stadium. I also deliberately looked for myself. But Tang Yi didn't see him. asked Liu Bing to block the drive a few times. Xiao Qiang never came to the door again.

Get in the Audi. Tang Yi called Liu Bing. asked him to find Xiao Qiang to get a business card. Liu Bing is quick to do things. Called back a few minutes later.

When Tang Yi dialed Xiao Qiang's phone to report to his home. Xiao Qiang was obviously stunned. Then he said enthusiastically: "Secretary Tang." I'm flattered! ”

Tang Yi smiled. He said, "I want your help with something!" ”

Xiao Qiang immediately patted his chest. "Secretary Tang has a place for his little brother, just speak. No matter what. I'm going to do it for you with 12 points. ”

Tang Yi said: "Hu Xiaoqiu." You know, right? ”

Xiao Qiang didn't expect Tang Yi to ask about it. I quickly weighed the pros and cons in my mind. Dry smile: "Secretary Tang." He's here with me. This thing. Alas. Commander Hu, that guard, Xiao Zhao. Called me and asked. I didn't tell him. ”

Tang Yi smiled: "Thank you then." Such. I want to meet him. Done, right? ”

Xiao Qiang hesitated. "Done. It should be. ”

Tang Yi said: "Tonight? ”

Xiao Qiang smiled bitterly. "What are you talking about? That's tonight. I took him to the Standing Committee? ”

Tang Yi said yes. There was a pause. Suddenly asked: "Why did he shoot and hurt people?" You know that, right? ”

Xiao Qiang hesitated again. I simply don't hide my armpits anymore. "Secretary Tang. This is Xiaoqiude**. You have to speak up. He's going to kill me! ”

Tang Yi just smiled. "Don't say it."

Xiao Qiang sighed. "Forget it. You know. Otherwise, how can you persuade him to go home? Xiaoqiu. I fell in love with his sister-in-law. But their home environment knows. How can it be. This time the shooting was because he heard the nanny gossip about his sister-in-law. In Xiaoqiu's eyes. His sister-in-law won't anyone say," Xiao Qiang paused at this point. remembered that he had persuaded Xiaoqiu to accidentally commit Xiaoqiu's taboo. Xiao Qiu's eyes were red, and she wanted to fight hard with him, and the scene was still palpitating. Busy no longer said. Sighing, he said, "Alas. Secretary Tang. I've told you everything I should have said or not. Don't tell Xiaoqiu about this. He was also drunk and told me. No one else knows. ”

Tang Yien sighed.

Xiao Qiang said: "Secretary Tang." Then I'll take Xiaoqiu to you tonight! ”

Tang Yi hung up the phone. He shook his head. Commander Hu had three sons. The eldest son died in the line of duty. But the daughter-in-law has never remarried. He has been widowed in the Hu family for four or five years. I heard that I don't remarry. It was mainly from Mrs. Hu's pressure. In such a family background and thoughts. How could anyone accept that Xiaoqiu and her sister-in-law were in love. Not to mention that his sister-in-law doesn't necessarily know or like Xiaoqiu. Hu Xiaoqiu was depressed, which can be imagined. This has to be suppressed for a long time. I'm afraid that his personality will be a little distorted.

Xiao Qiang and Hu Xiaoqiu came to Building 5 of the Standing Committee in the evening. Hu Xiaoqiu is in his twenties. Have pimples on your face. But he was so gloomy that he called out "Brother Tang". A listless look. There is no vitality for young people.

Xiao Qiang smiled: "Secretary Tang." This kid has been in the wine jar for a while. Don't blame him. ”

Tang Yi smiled and said no. Ask the two of them to sit down in the living room. Hu Xiaoqiu didn't squeak either. Stuffy head smoking. Xiao Qiang and Tang Yi chatted a few words and stood up. smiled and said, "I'll go to Secretary Lizhen's place to have a look." He wanted to see Tang Yi after eating a few closed doors. knew that someone might have told Tang Yi what he had done in Xia Lan. Tang Yi didn't have a good impression of him. Now is an opportunity to contact Tang Yide. But take it one step at a time. Slowly reversed his image in Tang Yi's eyes. Don't rush it.

However, Xiao Qiang felt that Tang Yi was a little familiar. But where have I seen it. But I don't remember.

After Xiao Qiang left. Hu Xiaoqiu raised his head. Said: "Brother Tang." You have to persuade me to go home. Needless to say. I'm not going back. If it weren't for Xiao Qiang saying it again and again. I can't come here either. ”

Tang Yi smiled: "There's no hurry to go home. Now I want you to go back. You have to get into trouble every day. ”

Hu Xiaoqiu grinned. "If only you knew." Listening to Tang Yi, he didn't persuade him to go home. It's a lot more polite.

Tang Yi smiled and lit a cigarette. Suddenly asked, "Does your sister-in-law know?" ”

It's not loud. But it was like a thunderbolt. The explosion made Hu Xiaoqiu's mind dizzy. Stammered, "Yes." Know what? ”

Tang Yi smiled and said, "It's just that you like her things." ”

Hu Xiaoqiu's heart sank to the bottom. looked at Tang Yi in a daze. His face was blue and white. Don’t know whether to wind a watch or bark at the moon. He could even imagine his parents being sad and desperate when they found out about it. What about sister-in-law? I'm afraid I won't care about him and love him as much as before.

Tang Yi waved his hand. "Don't worry. I won't tell anyone else. Something. You must understand that if you get it, it will only hurt everyone. ”

Hu Xiaoqiu was stunned again. In his heart. Tang Yi is naturally a winner at the level of his father. In the eyes of those people. He, of course, was still a child. But he didn't want Tang Yi to keep it secret for himself.

Tang Yi smiled again: "The question is. It's not a problem for you to go on like this. I think. You look for an opportunity to talk to your sister-in-law. She doesn't like what you say. And he died of this heart. Like you. You have to figure out how to work with your parents. ”

Hu Xiaoqiu shook his head and said, "No." They won't agree. ”

Tang Yi said: "Don't work hard." How do you know no? ”

Hu Xiaoqiu said: "I don't know my parents' temperament yet. And talk to them. You can't just them off to death. Again. My sister-in-law likes me. It is impossible to say yes either. ”

I've never talked to anyone about my heart. Even if it is mentioned to Xiao Qiang. It's also a drunken affair. Now someone is listening to him. Hu Xiaoqiu opened the conversation. Staring at a point on the wall. His eyes were a little dazed. "Yes. My eldest brother and I have the best relationship. My eldest brother had an accident. I just joined the army. I was drunk that night. Crying all night in the yard. It's time in the morning. It was my sister-in-law who found me. Put a coat over me. I can't forget her eyes. So sad. It's so beautiful. I was thrilled. I thought. I'm going to protect her for the rest of my life. Don't let her cry anymore. But. But I"

Hu Xiaoqiu lowered his head in annoyance. Gripping his hair with his hands. Shaking his head desperately. "I'm sorry big brother. I'm sorry big brother."

Tang Yi sighed softly. sat down beside him. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Forget it." It's not your fault. ”

Hu Xiaoqiu looked up in surprise. "Brother Tang. Do you support me? "Undoubtedly. Say the same thing. Xiao Qiang and Tang Yide have significantly different weights. Hu Xiaoqiu has seen his father and Tang Yi talking and laughing. And his father's status in his eyes is naturally extremely noble. Father's friends and his friends are two different things entirely.

Tang Yi shook his head. "Support can't be talked about. But I understand you. It's not about who is right and who is wrong. You don't have to feel too guilty. ”

Hu Xiaoqiu said: "That." So what should I do? ”

Tang Yi said: "Face it yourself." ”

Hu Xiaoqiu fell silent.

Xiao Qiang came back from Wang Lizhen. Tang Yi and Hu Xiaoqiu were both drinking tea silently. No one spoke. Xiao Qiang smiled: "How are the talks?" ”

Hu Xiaoqiu shook his head in frustration. Suddenly raised his head and said, "Brother Tang." Or. I'll follow you all these days. ”

Tang Yi smiled: "Follow me? What are you doing with me? ”

Hu Xiaoqiu said: "Be a guard for you!" Don't you know? I used to be an armed policeman. He is now the chief of the second section of the security department of the provincial department. ”

Tang Yi smiled: "I don't need this." "Although according to the Ludong Provincial Security Regulations. The Standing Committee of the Ludong Provincial Party Committee is equipped with a lot of guards. But Tang Yi has just entered the Standing Committee. Ranked low. It is somewhat inappropriate to have guards at this time.

Hu Xiaoqiu pleaded repeatedly. In the end, Tang Yi smiled: "Let's talk about it." Listening to Tang Yi's words, the wind relaxed. Hu Xiaoqiu smiled. Xiao Qiang secretly said to Tang Yi when he went out: "Secretary Tang." You don't really want to use him as a guard, do you? This kid is wild. He loves to fight and make trouble. Get in trouble with the guards. If it weren't for Commander Hu. It has already been opened. Let's be honest. This kid is just like me. Dude. I can't make a big scene. Is it a guard? Sooner or later, you'll get into trouble! ”

Tang Yi didn't expect Xiao Qiang to say such a thing. Smiled and patted him on the shoulder. Didn't speak. Xiao Qiang was excited.
