Chapter 241: The Ancient City of Xi'an

The cold wind was bitter and biting, and when he climbed to the top of the high mountain, Ge Yunfei hugged Wen Qing and said happily: "Standing on the top of the Qinling Mountains, I feel full of pride. The Qinling Mountains stretch for 1,500 kilometers from east to west, and it divides two worlds, the warm south and the cold north, which is the geographical dividing line between the north and the south. "Yunfei, just as you said all the way, the world is really wonderful, and no one can change the things between heaven and earth." Wen Qing sighed and put her neck into her mink coat. Ge Yunfei looked around the lofty mountains, with a broad field of vision and great poetry.

"It will be the top of the mountain, a glance at the mountains, this statement is really incisive, not immersive, it is difficult to understand its true meaning! You see, Lingnan is lush and Lingbei is covered with snow, and the two seasons are distinct. "Yunfei, why is there a dividing line?" Wen Qing was affected by it, and questions naturally arose. "The difference in latitude is the result of the difference in latitude, and in winter, the direct point of the sun moves south, and the farther north it goes, the colder it gets. As the dividing line between the north and the south, the Qinling Mountains are mainly due to the altitude of the Qinling Mountains. ”

"The Qinling Mountains are 1,500 to 2,500 meters above sea level, and the mountains are like a wall, blocking the warm and humid air in the south, and the cold air from the north cannot intrude on the south, so the southern part of the Qinling Mountains is warm and humid, and the north is dry and cold. In addition, the Han River in the southern part of the Qinling Mountains is also the largest tributary of the Yangtze River, and the Wei River in the northern part of the Qinling Mountains is also the largest tributary of the Yellow River, so the Qinling Mountains are also the watershed of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. Scholars call the Qinling Mountains the father mountain, the Yellow River the mother river, and the Qinling Mountains are also revered as the dragon vein of Chinese civilization. ”

"Some scholars have commented that because of the climatic barrier and water nourishment of the Qinling Mountains, there will be 800 miles of Qinchuan wind and rain, and there will be the peerless elegance of Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang. The ancient civilization that the Chinese nation is most proud of, thanks to such an unpretentious mountain range constructed by huge granite bodies, and created the prosperity of Chang'an, the imperial capital of the Thirteen Dynasties, and at the same time gave birth to the solidity and beauty of Hanzhong, Ankang and Shangluo. ”

Wen Qing was moved by her husband's exquisite rendering, and excitedly stretched out her arms to embrace this gift of nature. On the way down the mountain, the couple stayed in a town for a night and arrived in Xi'an at noon the next day. The ancient city of Xi'an was the last stop of the couple's trip, and it was necessary for Ge Yunfei to meet with Feng Zi'an, the governor of Shanxi. This Feng Zi'an was the last Jinshi of the imperial examination system in the Qing Dynasty. After the republic, he served as county magistrate in a county town in northern Shaanxi Province. Due to its good governance and outstanding political achievements, the Shenmu area has become the largest coal producing area in Shaanxi in just a few years. Feng Zi'an was exceptionally promoted, and was directly promoted to the governor of Shaanxi Province by the county magistrate.

It was Ge Yunfei who advocated the promotion of Feng Zi'an, but he had never seen this person. Ge Yunfei and Yu Wenqing finished lunch in the city and came to the gate of the provincial government. A three-storey building with a combination of Chinese and Western styles stands tall, with sentries standing guard in front of the door, and the plaque of "Shaanxi Provincial Government" in black on a white background is very eye-catching. Ge Yunfei asked the guards to negotiate, and soon Feng Zi'an ran out in three steps and two steps. Ge Yunfei didn't know Feng Zi'an, but Feng Zi'an recognized Ge Yunfei at a glance. Last year, when Feng Zi'an was training in Beijing, he listened to Ge Yunfei's lectures.

"General Ge is here, and his subordinates are not prepared, sins, sins!" Feng Zi'an hugged his fists and saluted. Ge Yunfei looked at Feng Zi'an carefully, he was about fifty years old, and he wore a robe and a horse coat to support a dark face, indicating that this person often activities outdoors, and suddenly Ge Yunfei felt good and said: "Mr. Feng, the contemptible person and his wife came uninvited, it was very abrupt, and it was rude that I please don't blame myself." Ge Yunfei took the initiative to step forward to shake hands, and Feng Zi'an seemed to be a little flustered when he was not used to it.

"General Ge has worked hard all the way on the saddle horse, and the lower official will arrange a place to live immediately!" "Mr. Feng, I didn't come to Xi'an, I can't stir up the people, I don't want the second person to know my whereabouts." Feng Zi'an reacted quickly and said: "My subordinates understand, if General Ge doesn't dislike it, please ask the general and his wife to stay in the cold house temporarily." "I'm causing trouble for Mr. Feng." "General Ge is like a reborn parent, and the subordinate has nothing to repay for the general's support. The general can succumb to the humble house, and the subordinate officials are grateful. ”

Feng Zi'an explained a few words to his subordinates, and then drove towards his residence in a car. Because the subordinates were separated by a distance, they couldn't hear what they were saying. And Feng Zi'an explained to his subordinates that the guests were distant close friends. He instructed his subordinates not to disturb him unless there were special circumstances. The subordinates are confused, what kind of best friend can make a party leader so respectful. Feng Zi'an's residence was in the Erjin Courtyard, and he asked his wife to come to see him, introducing Ge Yunfei as a close friend in his early years, and made a special trip to visit.

After dinner, the two moved to the study to continue talking. "General Ge, Xia Guan has written a Shaanxi economic development plan and is going to report it to the Prime Minister's Office. The subordinate asked the general to look at it first and hope to give advice. Ge Yunfei took the report and said, "Mr. Feng, I will read it carefully and reply to you before leaving." I would like to know about the situation at the truck factory and the aircraft factory. "The truck factory and the aircraft factory are state-invested projects and are personally supervised by Feng Zi'an." Returning to the general, the truck factory is preparing to build a plant, the equipment has been delivered, and the first phase of the project will be completed and put into operation in the middle of next year. The site of the Xi'an aircraft factory has been selected and the site is currently being leveled. ”

Ge Yunfei nodded and said, "I'll visit the truck factory tomorrow!" "My subordinates will do it!" "Mr. Feng, let me reveal you a piece of good news!" "What's the good news?" "As far as I know, the government has approved the construction of the railway from Xi'an to Shenmu, and it is estimated that the approval will be issued in January next year!" "Great, with the railway, Shenmu's coal will be transported to Xi'an in large quantities, and Xi'an will usher in a new round of investment fever." Feng Zi'an's heart was overjoyed when he heard this.

Ge Yunfei continued: "The state government has drawn up a plan to give priority to the development of Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces in the west. "Please rest assured that the subordinate will never disappoint the general's high expectations." "What is the situation of immigrants in Shaanxi?" "The progress is going well, with 125 natural villages in the harsh areas of the north being relocated as a whole, and about 700,000 migrants have moved to the northeast since late last year. At present, the area with poor natural environment has become a no-man's land, and it is strictly controlled to enter and inhabit it. ”

Feng Zi'an continued: "The provincial government plans to migrate another 2 million people to the northeast within five years, and the population in uninhabitable areas will continue to migrate. In addition, according to the national government's plan, vigorously develop the urban population, and the provincial government plans to transfer 1 million people to the cities and towns within five years to meet the needs of industrial development. "The transfer of people to towns and cities cannot be rushed, and when industry develops, people will naturally flock to towns and ······." The two chatted until late at night.

The next day, the soldiers were divided into two routes, Mrs. Feng accompanied Wenqing to visit the places of interest in Xi'an, and he himself accompanied Ge Yunfei to visit the Xi'an Truck Factory. Xi'an Truck Factory is located near the railway station outside the city. Since the opening of the Longhai Railway, the industrial development of Xi'an City has entered the fast lane, and many factories have appeared near the railway station, which is the change brought about by the railway artery. The two drove to the truck factory, where the tall courtyard wall enclosed a factory building, which was spectacular.

Feng Zi'an often came to inspect the factory, and the people in the factory had long been accustomed to it, but the guests accompanied by the governor seemed to be very mysterious. The guest wore a pair of sunglasses and had an extraordinary bearing, which confused the factory director who received him. Feng Zi'an just lightly introduced Ge Yunfei as a friend from other places, and the director of the factory looked at them and looked at them, no matter how he looked at them, they didn't look like friends. I guessed that this mysterious figure was definitely not simple, but I didn't dare to ask. The director of the factory did not dare to slack off and led them to take a closer look.

Feng Zi'an always accompanied him to be careful along the way, and the factory director affirmed his judgment. Everywhere the factory director cautiously introduced, Ge Yunfei occasionally asked a few questions, and the factory director answered them fluently, obviously an expert. At present, the truck factory building has been prepared and the machines are being installed. Along the way, he met German engineers from time to time, and occasionally Ge Yunfei asked the German engineer in German about the installation, and the director concluded that it was someone sent by the government.

Ge Yunfei stayed in the truck for a whole day, and he not only visited all the plants, machinery and equipment, but also carefully inspected the composition of the factory management. Ge Yunfei did not express any opinions, and returned to Feng Zi'an's residence that night, and when the two were drinking, Feng Zi'an asked: "General Ge, you can be satisfied with visiting the truck factory." "Basically satisfied, but the management is too bloated." Feng Zi'an's eyes lit up when he heard this: "General, don't hide it, many people who enter the factory have backgrounds, and the subordinate officials can't afford to offend." ”

Ge Yunfei smiled: "Mr. Feng, I understand your feelings. In the past, when government-run enterprises did not do well, the disadvantage was that the organization was bloated and the people were superfluous. This factory director is very capable, and if he wants to give him the power of life and death, the management personnel should be cut off by two-thirds, and the number of engineering and technical personnel should be increased by two-thirds. The managers who have been laid off go to work as workers, and if they don't want to do it, let them get out, this is not the place to raise an uncle. "General Ge, I'm relieved to have your words." Feng Zi'an seems to have a backbone.

The next day, Feng Zi'an accompanied Ge Yunfei to inspect the aircraft factory. Nowadays, the civil engineering works in the early stage of the aircraft factory are under construction, and the construction site is in full swing, and the workers are full of enthusiasm. Ge Yunfei listened carefully to the report of the chief engineer and checked the construction plan. Since Ge Yunfei's identity was a guest, it was inconvenient to express his opinion on the spot. That night, Ge Yunfei said to Feng Zi'an: "Xi'an Aircraft Factory will undertake the production of new bombers for the national government in the future, so there can be no sloppiness. How to ensure the quality of the project and speed up the project, I suggest ·····.

Half a month later, Feng Zi'an and his wife went to the military airport to see them off. When the military transport plane flew into the blue sky and disappeared into the distance, the lady was surprised and asked, "Master, what is the origin of this guest so mysterious?" "He is the legendary general Ge Yunfei!" Madame's eyes widened in surprise when she heard this: "I didn't expect that General Ge didn't have any official frame at all, and Mrs. Ge was not only beautiful but also knowledgeable. Master, our family is full of flowers! ”
