On the day of the Spring Festival, the official of Mingzhu City released a news that Fang and Comrade Fang celebrated the New Year with the people of Mingzhu City.

There is nothing wrong with this news itself, the problem is that along with this news, there is also an article entitled "Unswervingly Promoting Reform and Opening Up."

After all, although there are many voices questioning reform and opening up, at the central level, there is no clear denial of reform.

However, in this article, he denied the issue of "surnames, societies, surnames, and capital" that appeared a while ago, saying that the most fundamental problem today is still the problem of being particularly vigilant against the decline in the speed of economic development, and the biggest problem is still the problem of eating the people, and the issue of "planning" or "market" can be put aside for the time being.

In a word, the general meaning of the article is similar to the "white cat and black cat" theory.

As soon as this article in Mingzhu City appeared, it affected the propaganda system in the capital.

This is obviously seriously contrary to the leading ideology of the Propaganda Department, so under the instruction of the Propaganda Department, various newspapers and periodicals began to publish targeted articles to refute it, and the focus of the firepower is still around the question of whether we should insist on clarifying the "surname of the society and the surname of the capital".

All of a sudden, there was a smell of gunpowder between the capital and the pearl.

But this article in Mingzhu City is not the end, and the next four review articles have been published one after another, which can be regarded as a series, and it is also a-for-tat refutation of the criticism articles in Beijing.

When the dispute between the capital and Mingzhu City was strong, Comrade Fang He was walking east on Hongqiao Road, and when he saw the old appearance of the urban area, he couldn't help but sigh, "The development of Mingzhu City is late, and we must work hard!" ”

Then he continued eastward, and when he landed on the east bank of the Pujiang River, his heart became heavier and heavier, "It would be nice if the eastern area of the Pujiang River had been developed into a special economic zone a few years earlier, like the Jiangkou." ”

When the entourage talked about the prosperity of Pearl City in the 30s, saying that Pearl City was the "financial center of the Far East" and that there was "free currency exchange", he listened attentively, and then said, "We will do this in the future." ”

Of course, the purpose of Comrade Fang He's trip is obviously not in Mingzhu City, but in Mingzhu and his heart in the capital.

Comrade Fang He said to a thin middle-aged man who followed him, "Comrade Hong Zheng, we still need to talk about reform and opening up. Don't think that if you say that the planned economy is socialism and the market economy is capitalism, it is not the same thing, both are means, and the market can also serve socialism. ”

Then he talked about the 80s that he missed, "At that time, it was proposed that the rural areas should implement household contracting, but many people disagreed, is household contracting still socialist? If you don't say it in your mouth, you can't figure it out in your heart, and you will delay in action, and some of it will last for two years, and we will wait. ”

When everyone heard this, they had a feeling that he was still waiting, waiting for those who "couldn't figure it out" to come to their senses.

"Pearl City must have the courage to be the first in the world, don't be afraid of failure, and don't worry about failure." Comrade Fang He said to Comrade Hong Zheng.

"We're willing to try." Comrade Hong Zheng, secretary of the Mingzhu Municipal Party Committee, nodded and said.

The power of the world, although not to mention the third of the world, at least it has one-tenth of the resources, not to mention the far-reaching influence of the Lao Ye family, there are many collateral and branches all over the country, as well as the children of the disciples.

"It's rare to have a lot of people this year." Old Man Ye looked at the children and grandchildren in the house, and his face smiled slightly.

Indeed, as Old Man Ye said, there are very few opportunities for the old Ye family to get together, not to mention that he and the second old man are busy with state and military affairs, even if they are several members of the second generation of the Ye family, they are all entangled in everything, and such a special gathering this year is indeed rare.

"Let's eat first." The second old man said with a smile.

The second old man has been fighting horses all his life, leaving no children, and he treats these children and grandchildren of the eldest brother as his own, and he is not without pride in his heart when he sees that they are all very successful.

Eighteen people, but did not sit separately, the service staff put the two large tables together, everyone sat down did not seem crowded, but felt very lively.

The old Ye family has no special rules, the family is harmonious, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren are happy, and there are talking and laughing when eating, which is not at all like some big families, with one rule and a stiff family relationship.

It's just that after eating, the whole family began to divide, the juniors and their daughters went to the side for entertainment, and the old men in the family got together and began to discuss the gains and losses of the past year and determine the direction of work in the coming year.

"There are waves on the side of the Pujiang River!" Old Man Ye looked at his younger brother, three sons, and two sons-in-law, and sighed with some emotion.
