Lanjiang City is a county-level city, the Lanjiang Prefectural Committee and the administrative office are stationed, is a national city with a long history and culture, the mighty Lanjiang River passes through the city, the picturesque Oriental Danube River divides the Lanjiang City into two, and the Lanjiang Bridge is the most important passage and transportation hub in southwest Yunnan.

Lanjiang is the location of regional institutions, and has developed rapidly in recent years, with high-rise buildings rising from the ground, which is less bustling and noisy than mainland cities, and more leisurely and quiet.

Lu Zheng liked the atmosphere of the city very much, and in the two days when he came to the meeting of the prefectural committee, he asked Huzi to drive and drove himself around the small town of Lanjiang a few times.

After confirming that there was no war in their hometown, the refugees in Guobang returned to China one after another, and in less than half a month, the situation has subsided.

In Lanjiang, Qin Liangxing, the first deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, personally convened a work conference on maintaining border stability, at which Qin Liangxing asked departments at all levels to focus on the overall situation and take the stability of the Sino-Myanmar border as the overriding priority.

In addition to the Lanjiang Prefecture Military and Political Affairs Department, there were also some representatives of border guards attending the meeting.

At the Lanjiang Hotel, Lu Zheng and Du Xiaohu lived in the same standard room, and next door to the two lived two representatives of the guards.

That night, Lu Zheng asked Du Xiaohu to invite one of the guards named Luo Laopei to have supper together, because in the past two days, Luo Laopei was not seen in the hotel restaurant, and later Du Xiaohu overheard that Luo Laopei's family conditions were very difficult, so there was no food stamps and money for collective working meals at all, although food stamps and money can be reimbursed back to the county, but Luo Laopei would rather give up the opportunity to eat working meals, so that he can get a meal allowance of 3 yuan a day, these two days, Luo Laopei is eating steamed rice in bamboo tubes brought from home with pickles.

After Lu Zheng came to Nanpo, he gradually learned about the group of boundary guards, who were not legal officials, but ordinary border residents in border villages, and there were about more than 1,000 border guards in the entire southern Yunnan.

After the 79 National Defense Work Conference, the southern Yunnan national boundary was managed in sections, and each section hired a boundary attendant to be responsible for publicizing foreign affairs policies and assisting superiors in handling foreign-related issues in their own sections. Over the past 10 years, these border guards, who live on the border line and do not wear military uniforms, have played an important role in strengthening border management, safeguarding border security, and protecting the interests of border residents.

In addition to taking care of boundary posts, daily patrols, planting and maintaining boundary trees and boundary forests, they also have to act as border mediators, because the mountains and rivers of the Sino-Myanmar border are adjacent to each other, and the cultivated land between the villages of the two countries is often separated by the boundary lineThere have also been egregious incidents of border guards being injured by armed Burmese soldiers.

Today's guardians, often with enthusiasm and loyalty, guard the southwest gate for the motherland, Luo Laopei, is one of the representatives, last year, he was also named the outstanding guardian of southern Yunnan Province, Lu Zheng just looked at the deeds of his work over the years a few days ago, deeply touched, although there must be moisture in this material, will add branches and leaves, but the Lord Yu will certainly not be too false, some things can not be made up. For example, his family was originally a big family, scattered on the Sino-Burmese border, and in the Burmese village opposite the village where he was located, there were several of his close relatives and friends who would move around during the New Year's holidays, but because a relative secretly crossed the line late at night to cut wood and was discovered by him, he was sent to the border post, so that his relatives and friends gradually cut off relations with him. As for the materials, the so-called "He Xiaoyi" made his relatives and friends on the Burmese side understand the concepts of territorial sovereignty, which is a fictitious branch and leaf.

In fact, the real Luo Laopei may be more worthy of respect, a stubborn border guard who does not recognize his relatives

Old people like Luo Laopei can be regarded as a microcosm of an era.

Lu Zheng felt that when he came to southern Yunnan, many things would touch his thoughts.

Therefore, Lu Zheng really wanted to sit down with this old man at close range, chat, and see if he could think of any way to solve the life problems of the group of guardians.

It's just that Du Xiaohu went for a long time before coming back, behind him, the thin and swarthy old man didn't follow, Du Xiaohu looked a little angry, "This dead old man, oil and salt don't enter, I said invite him to dinner, he just didn't come, saying that he was full and didn't have the habit of supper." ”

Lu Zheng said with a smile: "This is the true color of Luo Laopei, okay, then forget it." ”

As he spoke, there was a gentle knock on the door outside, Du Xiaohu went to open the door, and standing outside were Liu Xiaogan, secretary of the Lanjiang Prefectural Party Committee, and his secretary Xiao Zhao.

"Your name is Huzi, right?" Liu Xiaogan smiled and patted Du Xiaohu on the shoulder, "The tiger has a bear's waist, he is a good young man"

Seeing that it was Liu Xiaogan, Lu Zheng knew what he was here for, and at noon today, Feng Lianying had already called and told him about the matter.

Sure enough, Liu Xiaogan smiled and chatted with Lu Zheng about the spirit of the two-day stability maintenance meeting, and asked, "I heard that Deng Sankun has repeatedly invited you to South Street as a guest?" Is that what happened? ”

Lu Zheng nodded slightly, Deng Sankun sent a letter to himself through a variety of channels, and through Sister Yu, she said that if it was inconvenient for an official visit, she could come to his house on South Street in a private form, and he especially hoped to become good friends with Commissioner Lu.

Liu Xiaogan said with a smile: "Commander Deng is very bold, it seems that he has a good impression of you." ”

Lu Zheng pondered: "In official affairs, I can do my best to support the construction of Guobang within the scope of the policy, but in terms of personal relations, I don't want to have too close a relationship with armed leaders outside the country." ”

Liu Xiaogan looked at Lu Zheng and said with a smile: "It's a good thing to be vigilant, but when dealing with Guobang people, you can't get around Deng Sankun's hurdle and establish a certain personal friendship, I personally think it's harmless." ”

Lu Zheng nodded slightly.

Liu Xiaogan hesitated for a moment and asked: "I heard that Team Leader Lu has served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Wushan Special Economic Zone and has made great achievements in the development of the regional economy. As he spoke, he looked at Lu Zheng's expression and smiled.

Lu Zheng knows that after all, he does not have political influence, and what he tossed in Wushan, the outside world will not know very well, such as Liu Xiaogan's level of Yu Ministry, and in the southwest border, and the east of Hebei is far away, so it is difficult to understand himself, and it is only a half of a claw to ask someone to ask, and it is not possible to take it seriously, maybe Liu Xiaogan still thinks that his young deputy department level Yu Bu is coming to the frontier to gild.

In fact, it is to look at their resumes, but also can not see anything, Changming Group has developed very fast, has become a symbol of China's computer industry, and coincided with the great changes and eventful autumn, there are voices above to achieve the nationalization of the group, their own group party secretary and vice chairman at this time to resign from government affairs, it seems to be normal, not to mention that in just a few months, he once again entered the special office of foreign trade and economic cooperation in southern Yunnan, even if it seems that the upward momentum is blocked, but the political situation has been turbulent for half a year, and some personnel changes are normal, Many transfers cannot be speculated on with common sense.

After pondering for a while, Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Don't hide it from Secretary Liu, I made some mistakes in my work. As he spoke, he picked up his teacup and drank water.

Liu Xiaogan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Lu Zheng to be so honest, seeing that Lu Zheng didn't want to talk more, he naturally understood, but he just thought that he was just twenty-seven years old, and he entered the ranks of the deputy hall, and the mistake in the work was naturally that the young man was too impetuous, and the young man got carried away, so he was taught a hard lesson, which is also a good thing, it is a kind of grinding, and in the officialdom, the most taboo thing is to show the edges and corners.

Liu Xiaogan couldn't have imagined that Lu Zheng was young, but in fact, in the eyes of some central bigwigs, he was already a representative of a certain line, and in Wushan, he was quite fledgling, and he had gradually formed a trend of forming a local small political group, so he would have been transferred out of Wushan

But then again, if it weren't for these backgrounds, Lu Zheng wouldn't have done that in Wushan, and besides, a deputy department-level ministry wouldn't be able to do it to his level.

Looking at Lu Zheng's faint tea tasting at the moment, Liu Xiaogan couldn't imagine what kind of character this young man in front of him was, Lu Zheng talked about work mistakes, but it aroused some pain in him, and sighed: "Our generation, who hasn't made mistakes?" ”

After being silent for a while, Liu Xiaogan said: "Actually, I came to you to ask for your opinion, the provincial party committee intends to appoint you to Lanjiang, I heard that you are also in the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, so this matter mainly depends on you, I estimate that the leaders of the Ministry of Economic and Trade have already talked to you." As a person, I welcome you to come to Lanjiang, and I hope you can bring your experience to the Lanjiang Prefectural Committee, which will also benefit us a lot from the Lanjiang Prefectural Committee. ”

Lu Zheng had already received a call from Feng Lianying.

The lP refugee incident has made the top leaders believe that the local government in the border area of China and Myanmar should play a more important role in foreign aid affairs. Moreover, because of the changes in the international political situation, on the southwest border, the diplomatic pressure on the republic can be alleviated by the assistance of # party agencies.

In this kind of policy, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation's Special Office for Southern Yunnan first proposed to appoint a foreign aid cadre to Lanjiang for temporary posts, so that foreign aid matters can achieve overall arrangements between the local and central governments, improve work efficiency, and avoid the recurrence of lP incidents.

The Southern Yunnan Provincial Party Committee agreed to this arrangement, and Lu Zheng became the most suitable candidate as a result of the communication between the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, the Southern Yunnan Special Office, and the local government on the issue of candidates.

Lu Zheng heard that Deputy Secretary Qin of the Provincial Party Committee played a great role in it, and some people privately discussed that Secretary Qin hoped to cut through the chaos quickly and quell the incident as soon as possible.

Feng Lianying said on the telephone that the southern Yunnan provincial party committee plans to appoint himself as a member of the Lanjiang Prefectural Party Committee and deputy commissioner of the Administrative Office, and that he will naturally be in charge of external relations, economic and trade, ports, and other work, and that he will still concurrently serve as the head of the special Lanjiang working group.

Because the regional party committees and administrative offices are organs dispatched by the provincial party committee and the provincial government, the cadres of the prefectural party committees and administrative offices are directly appointed by the provincial party committee and the provincial government, and there is no such thing as a general election.

It's just that he didn't expect that Liu Xiaogan would come to invite him with a fist, Lu Zheng felt that Liu Xiaogan was the kind of old fritter in officialdom, thinking about it, foreign aid affairs made him anxious, and he also hoped to have a special official who had the ability to work and could take responsibility.

Smiling, Lu Zheng said: "Actually, I have communicated with the ministry, and I will definitely obey the organizational appointment." ”

Seeing Lu Zheng's clear attitude, Liu Xiaogan nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, this is good, our Lanjiang is not a mountain without development prospects, although it is certainly not as good as the Special Economic Zone, but I think that I can do something practical for the border people, this sense of achievement can not be experienced in big cities." ”

Lu Zheng smiled and nodded.
