On the afternoon of the third day, the head of the Hunan Provincial Military Region and his entourage arrived at Jinshi by train. Li Guotang, who had already been notified in advance, dispatched several jeeps to greet the head of the military region.

One of the leaders is the deputy commander of the military region in charge of the military industry, and he is also one of the principal leaders of the military region. surnamed Liu, named Hui, in his fifties, medium build, dressed in military uniform, not smiling, serious face, sharp eyes, is Li Guotang's direct leader.

The other chief is Director Ma, who is in charge of transportation in the military region, and his rank is half a level higher than Li Guotang. I am not familiar with Li Guotang, but after the introduction, I paid a lot of attention to Li Guotang. This is the father of the child? Looking at the archives, I don't think that this one looks at a real person, tall and dignified. The rest are accompanying personnel.

After getting into the car, the head of the military region vetoed Li Guotang's proposal to rest, and directly chose to go to a Jiangcheng Machinery Factory that was close to the point. There are several machinery factories distributed in Jinshi, there is no way to be able to go all over in one day, for the leaders of the inspection, they can only choose a place to see, meet at a point, and look at the field can also roughly estimate the work situation.

During the rounds, questions were raised from time to time about the various technical parameters of the weapons. Li Guotang, who was accompanying him, no matter how the leader asked questions, he could report the numbers with his mouth. Subsequently, when he returned to the Jinshi station, he held a meeting of the military representative offices of several machinery factories, and Li Guotang knew the specific situation of each factory well.

Listening to the report, Liu Hui had no expression on his face, but nodded secretly, feeling more satisfied. It was correct to propose that Li Guotang come over and preside over the work here. It's not that the previous chief officer can't do it, the previous chief officer is also very strict in the implementation of policy discipline, and the difference is only in product technology. Li Guotang is proficient in various designs and processes of firearms and weapons, and it is very rare for him to change his career from a front-line military officer to a technical officer. In fact, Li Guotang participated in the compilation of design standards for certain types of weapons in the military. When evaluating the title, he is designated as a senior engineer.

By the end of the meeting, it was nightfall. Li Guotang turned sideways and whispered, "Chief, Director Ma, the factory comrades of Jiangcheng Machinery Factory said that dinner was arranged at the city guest house, do you see?" ”

Why did Li Guotang ask this? Because the arrangement of the factory is better than that of the troops stationed there, the standard is much higher.

In those days, the meeting place of the meetings held by the military region was in Lingnan City, and the daily food standard per person could not exceed 1 yuan and 6 jiao, and in other areas, the maximum food standard could not exceed 1 yuan and 5 jiao. Work meetings convened by units at the division, corps, and military region levels. Cadres above the 16th grade will receive a daily subsidy of eight dimes, and cadres below the 17th grade will receive a daily subsidy of one yuan per person. In other words, if Li Guotang arranges a working meal, the standard for each person is one yuan and five jiao a day. Of course, there is only one dinner in the evening. Then you can use one yuan and five dimes a day for this meal in the evening. According to a table of ten people, the standard of a table of meals is fifteen yuan. This standard can only be eaten in the canteens of the troops stationed in the ground. Fifteen dollars is not bad. There are still a few kinds of meat and vegetables.

On major festivals, representatives of the labor army and accompanying literary and artistic groups organized by local party and government organs and mass organizations at or above the provincial level come to the troops to offer condolences, and generally only tobacco and tea are entertained, and those who really need to be entertained for meals may be entertained for a meal with the approval of the party committee at or above the army level. The standard of hospitality, calculated according to the dining staff, is within the range of two yuan per person, including cigarettes and tea. Regional, city, county according to the standard of one yuan and five jiao.

Liu Hui thought for a moment. Nodding.

Jiangcheng Machinery Factory came to the factory with several leaders, and arranged meals at least five yuan per person, and also prepared cigarettes and alcohol. After the meal, the factory will directly arrange accommodation in the city, and there is no need to return to the garrison troops.

"Comrade Guotang, sit down" Liu Hui smiled, and Director Ma sat on the side. After the meal, Li Guotang did not leave, and the chief still had some things to know. The title of Liu Hui is also very particular, because Li Guotang is his right-hand man who was slowly promoted by him. When there were few people, Liu Hui didn't mind letting people know.

"Yes, chief," Li Guotang cheered up, ready to answer the chief's question. However, Liu Hui did not mention anything about work, and Director Ma only briefly asked about the problem of product transportation, and the two leaders were more gossip and talked about trivial things. Director Ma's sudden question made him a little dazed, "Comrade Guotang, I've been here for a while, do you have any difficulties in life?" ”

"Difficult? No" Li Guotang replied very quickly, there is a small canteen for eating, accommodation in the camp, jeeps for travel and inspection work, everything is very convenient, there is no difficulty.

Liu Hui and Director Ma looked at each other and smiled, Liu Hui pointed at him, "Comrade Guotang, my lover and children are not around, isn't it difficult?" Li Guotang was stunned for a moment and smiled, "Well, I haven't had time to contact her for work for the time being, I mean wait for the New Year."

"Do you want to work, but you don't want your home? In this way, let the organization come forward to help you solve it, before the Spring Festival! Liu Hui smiled. Before the Chinese New Year? That is, it took two months, Li Guotang was overjoyed and at the same time had a trace of doubt, the organization naturally came forward to directly contact the prefecture and city, but why? Didn't the previous lover go with the army to do it by himself? Is it the reason for your position rise some time ago?

Liu Hui changed the topic: "Comrade Guotang, I heard that your eldest son has a good academic performance?" ”

Hey, this thing is very strange, Li Guotang can't figure it out, who is the chief? How much does the military district manage? How many people are there? It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that the day is full of opportunities, but it's not false at all to be busy from morning to night. How can this little thing about my son reach the ears of the chief? The Hunan Provincial Machinery Factory is far away from the provincial military district!

"It's okay, the letter from home said that I had good grades, and I went to the port area to borrow for a while, but I don't know if it's true or not" Li Guotang was puzzled, where did the chief know about this kind of thing? However, he still smiled and said modestly, and there was really some pride in his heart that he couldn't hide. This kid has a good academic performance and can actually reach the ears of the leader! When he is admitted to the best university in Huaguo, won't it give me a longer face.

Listening to Li Guotang's words, Liu Hui laughed, "Guotang, child, you have a very good education, I think, I don't know how much better than you!" ”。 When Li Guotang heard this, the old chief's praise was too much, and he hurriedly shook his hand, "Where, where, chief, you don't know, this child's academic performance is okay, but he is naughty."

Mischievous? Director Ma turned his face to the side and held back a smile, and sure enough, Li Guotang didn't know it and kept it in the dark. Now I still think that my eldest son is studying seriously in Minato Ward. After calming down a little, Director Ma turned his head again.

Li Guotang is unaware and understandable. In the military region, several high-level leaders who know the inside story have begun to attach great importance to Li Zhendong's transportation of goods. After paying the transportation expenses some time ago, before Li Zhendong went to Yunnan Province, Li Zhendong made the practice of increasing the freight for the troops' military vehicles, and the freight cost given by Li Zhendong for short-distance transportation in Hunan Province was only slightly higher, and the key was the long-distance transportation from Hunan Province to Lingnan Province. The individual cargo warriors were also raised to twenty yuan at a time. When it was brought up at that time, Guo Yuanchuan and Li Weiming were dumbfounded and asked the reason, but Li Zhendong didn't say anything, just asked if you wanted it?

Guo Yuanchuan and Li Weiming made a special trip to the military region to report. Recently, the military region has asked the Finance Department to start keeping the freight secrets internally, and the specific figures will not be released to the outside world.

Liu Hui smiled and nodded, "Hmm, how can a boy not be naughty?" I'll take him to my house when I'm free."

Li Guotang had some inexplicable feelings on the way back to the station. The head of the military region generally directly summons the leaders of various units to the military region for meetings within the scope of his jurisdiction, and rarely goes to the local area to inspect the area. It is often a working group that comes to the station. Although the head of the military region came here this time to inspect the work of the military representative office of the machinery factory and also conveyed several documents, there were no major mistakes in the work of the machinery factory, and the kind of documents conveyed seemed to be sufficient to issue a confidential official letter. Moreover, I will return to the military region early tomorrow morning, coming and going in a hurry, I can't figure it out, and I feel that the chief is more like stopping by to take a look, is there anything in this that I don't know?
