"Jihua, don't talk about this yet, let's eat." Liu Yinshu interrupted Zhuang Jihua's plan to dig the foot of the bridge, and added a piece of grunt meat to Xia Yanglin: "You may not be used to eating Sichuan food, I asked Sister-in-law Fang to cook Cantonese food, you can taste it, see what it looks like?" ”

Xia Yanglin tasted it and said, "Yes, it's not worse than Guangdong's." ”

Zhuang Jihua looked at the expressions of everyone at the table, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Hehe, it's nothing, it's nothing, there are no outsiders here, eat, everyone is casual, casual." ”

"Cultural Revolution, if you dig into the corners of friendly troops like this, what will Song Ziwen think?" Li Zhilong restrained his smile, he knew Zhuang Jihua very well, and knew that he would never stop there.

"I don't care what he thinks, he is no longer the Minister of Finance, Kong Xiangxi will not care about this army, it is better to give these people to me, these are all talents, and they can't be wasted." Zhuang Jihua said lightly, but these words touched himself, Kong Xiangxi is completely different from Song Ziwen, this money-greedy guy won't care about this army, what will happen if he asks him directly? And there is no need to go through the Ministry of Military Affairs and wait for the fait accompli to report to Chiang Kai-shek, and Chiang Kai-shek can only acquiesce.

Zhuang Jihua was sure that he was eating a lot faster, which could be described as gobbling up, and Liu Yinshu knew at a glance that he was going to work overtime after eating.

"Slow down, what's going on tomorrow?" Liu Yinshu persuaded.

"Tomorrow Shaoqing and I are going to Chengdu, Liu Xiang and they have something to discuss with us." Zhuang Jihua swallowed the food in his mouth with great effort and said.

"It's only been a few days since I've been back, and I'm going to leave again." Liu Yinshuxiu frowned slightly.

"Hey, there's no way, just wait until you come back from Chengdu, there won't be so many things." Zhuang Jihua comforted Liu Yinshu while putting down the bowl and preparing to leave the table.

"Drink a bowl of soup and then say, why don't you wait for Ziniu and Ruishan to finish eating before leaving." Liu Yinshu said and picked up Zhuang Jihua's bowl and served him a bowl of soup.

Zhuang Jihua lowered his head and drank the soup silently, seeing that Wu Ziniu and Lu Ruishan were obviously speeding up their eating, he hurriedly said: "It's nothing, just go and send a telegram, you can eat with peace of mind." ”

But Wu Ziniu and Lu Ruishan did not slow down, they were adjutants, and the chief would follow wherever he went, whether it was inside or outside the base.

"Don't rush, slow down, slow down." Liu Yinshu also persuaded: "Eat more, Jihua, you drink slowly, they haven't eaten yet." ”

Zhuang Jihua didn't move at all, Li Zhilong looked at him: "Do you have any ideas, let's talk about it, let's sum it up." ”

"Actually, it's nothing, I just want to send a telegram to Kong Xiangxi and put the tax police officers in Europe and the United States in the pot." Zhuang Jihua said somewhat casually.

"One pot?" Li Zhilong's mouth seemed to be stuffed with a duck egg, and Gong Xiuhua interjected: "Will he do it?" ”

"If you say it like this, he will definitely not, but with some conditions, it is estimated that there is hope." Then Zhuang Jihua said to Xia Yanglin in a lesson tone: "Boy, when you become an official to a certain extent, you are no different from a businessman, that is, coordination, to put it bluntly, it is to do business." From grocery stores to socio-political. This may be a bit absolute, but in fact, the essence is the same, West Point, many high-level companies in the United States are graduates of the West Point Military Academy, and there are many businessmen in American politics. A businessman sells his products at a reasonable price, and a politician reconciles social contradictions in a reasonable way, which does not change the essence of a businessman's selling of things. ”

"That's a novel idea." Li Zhilong said with a smile.

"It's not novel, it's absolute," Zhuang Jihua shook his head and said: "For example, political propositions are what politicians sell, and the people think that his propositions are reasonable, so they pay their support, so politicians come to power, and vice versa." ”

Xia Yanglin nodded thoughtfully, Pan Huiqin saw their vigorous discussion, and couldn't help but knock on the bowl and protest: "Food is silent, food is silent." Then he said to the two children who were muttering, "Don't talk while eating." ”

As soon as the two children stuck out their tongues, their little heads were immediately buried in the bowl.

"Sister-in-law protested, Yang Lin didn't care about him, eat first, and it will be a long time later." Having said that, Liu Yinshu's face was always full of pride, she was grateful to Xia Yanglin, if it wasn't for him, the two of them might not have been able to come together.

Zhuang Jihua did not go to the office in the end, but asked Wu Ziniu to send a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek and Kong Xiangxi, suggesting that the officers of the tax police regiment should be transferred to the Southwest Development Team as a whole. Chiang Kai-shek, who received the telegram, understood what Zhuang Jihua meant, and it seemed that fifty graduates were still a drop in the bucket for Zhuang Jihua.

However, what Zhuang Jihua didn't know was that although the tax police corps still had the name of the tax police corps, neither Song Ziwen nor Kong Xiangxi could really control the regiment. In charge of this regiment is Huang Jie, who has made meritorious contributions in the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War.

During the Second Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, Song Ziwen wanted to transfer troops north, but he drove the troops to Zhengzhou without informing Chiang Kai-shek, and Liu Zhi, chairman of Henan Province, was greatly surprised and hurriedly reported to Chiang Kai-shek, who immediately ordered the tax police regiment to return to its original defensive area, which also became a reason for Song Ziwen's resignation.

After Song Ziwen stepped down, Chiang Kai-shek replaced Wen Yingxing, a graduate of West Point and a former president of Tsinghua University, with Huang Jie. After Huang Jie succeeded Wen Yingxing, he introduced a group of Whampoa students in the tax police corps. In the Kuomintang military system, Whampoa students have always been the mainstream, and overseas students returning from overseas are tributaries, with the exception of Whampoa background. After these Whampoa students entered the tax police corps, they had conflicts with international students, and the personnel of the tax police corps became complicated.

Chiang Kai-shek's telegram did not return, but Kong Xiangxi's telegram arrived first, and he agreed to Zhuang Jihua's request, but asked Zhuang Jihua to agree to issue 10 million administrative axe bonds in Yucheng and Yunnan, and in addition, the Shanghai Industrial and Commercial Bank must subscribe for no less than 5 million political axe bonds. This bamboo pole was knocked too big, and Zhuang Jihua called back to ask him to reduce the price to five million and two million, and Kong Xiangxi agreed.

However, Chiang Kai-shek in Luoyang remained silent, and Zhuang Jihua had to let Xia Yanglin go to Lianghuai and privately contact the officers of the tax police regiment to let them change jobs by themselves, which was the cheapest for Zhuang Jihua.

The next day, Zhuang Jihua and Mei Yuntian boarded the train to Chengdu together, and they were welcomed by Liu Xiang at the Chengdu Railway Station. At this time, Liu Xiang was much more relaxed, the Red Army in northwest Sichuan had already gone north, and there were still a few Red Army guerrillas in Sichuan except for the Bashan area in northern Sichuan, and the rest of the country was quiet, if there was no threat caused by Zhuang Jihua, he could sleep with peace of mind.

The gathering of officials from various departments in Sichuan is to predict the company's profits this year, but in fact, Zhuang Jihua still wants to explain the purpose of his current military expansion.

Every time Zhuang Jihua goes to Chengdu, he lives in the guest house of the provincial party department, and this time is no exception, but the owner of the provincial party department has changed, and the new director Lu Shanming he doesn't know, but this Lu Shanming knows him.

Back then, Lu Shanming followed Wu Chaoshu to deal with Zhuang Jihua, but now he is on the same front, and the most important thing is that the current Zhuang Jihua is not something he can afford to provoke at all, so he is very polite to Zhuang Jihua, and as soon as Zhuang Jihua moved in, he immediately came to visit.

Zhuang Jihua looked at this polite person, he was very unaccustomed to the aura emanating from this person, some arrogant, some philistine, mixed with some inexplicable arrogance. He intuitively felt that this person had never been to the grassroots level to exercise, and it was very likely that he had not even been to the countryside.

"Director Lu, it's been a few months since you arrived in Sichuan, what do you think of the party affairs in Sichuan?" Although he didn't like to see this person, Zhuang Jihua still tried to be as gentle as possible, the work in Sichuan needed the cooperation of the party department, and in his heart, what he hoped most was that Zeng Guangqing could come back, but unfortunately he was sent to Xi'an.

"Captain Zhuang, I thought that Director Feng had done a good job in Sichuan party affairs, and the situation in various places was very good, which was also Director Zhuang's guidance." Lu Shanming replied in a proper manner, in today's China, the most difficult party directors are in three places, Shaanxi, Sichuan, and Yunnan, why? Because there are two strong generals in these three places. Shaanxi Zhang Xueliang dared to copy the provincial party department, Zhuang Jihua controlled Sichuan and Yunnan, not to mention copying the provincial party department, even if you killed the director, you couldn't find any traces.

Zhuang Jihua understood as soon as he heard it, feeling that this kid has not done anything in the past few months, when Feng Yi was in the past, the work of the provincial party department was mainly to supervise rent and interest reduction, develop young party members, and improve grassroots organizations; However, with the promotion of rent reduction and interest reduction, there are more and more problems, and the landlords began to fight back with the covert support of the Sichuan army.

Zhuang Jihua was unhappy in his heart, and said with a hint of ridicule: "How is Jiangyou's organizational development?" How is the resistance incident in Pakistan resolved? ”

Jiangyou is Deng Xihou's nest, the development of grassroots party organizations has not been smooth, Feng Yi is very nerve-wracking, but he can't help it, because behind these resistances are Deng Xihou's shadow, this time Zhuang Jihua went to Xikang to go to Jiangyou to talk to Deng Xihou, Deng Xihou expressed his support for the construction of grassroots party organizations.

After the peasants in Bazhong heard about the rent reduction and interest reduction, they also asked for rent and interest reduction, but the local landlord did not agree, and Tian Songyao also secretly supported the landlord's position, so when the autumn harvest came, the landlord took his family and forced the peasants to pay rent according to the original rent, and the two sides clashed, resulting in a tragedy of three deaths, so that they reported to Kunming Zhuang Jihua.

"The matter in Bazhong has calmed down, and public order has been restored." Lu Shanming replied that he had a very uncomfortable feeling in his heart, and the tone of talking to him at the whole army meeting was like a boss's interrogation of his subordinates, and he was the director of the party department, a person on an equal footing with Liu Xiang.
