Zhuang Jihua said dryly, he asked the factory director to continue, but he flashed out and asked Wu Ziniu for a glass of water, Lin Wei leaned over, with a smile on his face: "It's really hard for you, you only took three years." ”

"The principal has always disliked entering the factory, so why did he think of inspecting the factory this time?" Zhuang Jihua asked while drinking water.

"I'm also strange, we don't know the idea of the commission," Lin Wei thought for a while and added: "You have to take care of these factories, after the loss of the three eastern provinces, this is probably the largest industrial base in China." ”

Zhuang Jihua held the cup and didn't say a word, he suddenly saw a woman's figure in front of the factory gate, obviously she was explaining something to the guard who stopped her, Zhuang Jihua frowned, and muttered a little unhappily: "Why is she here, isn't this nonsense." ”

Lin Wei didn't hear clearly: "What did you say?" ”

"Oh, nothing." Zhuang Jihua turned his head and was about to call Wu Ziniu, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw a burly figure walking quickly to the factory gate, the woman left after saying a few words to him, and the man turned his head to look at this side after seeing the woman leave, Zhuang Jihua subconsciously took two steps back and hid his body behind Lin Wei.

"During the Cultural Revolution, the Central Army always came first in the heart of the commission." Lin Wei patted him on the shoulder.

"Oh." Zhuang Jihua said a perfunctory sentence absentmindedly, and after recovering, he found that Lin Wei had already entered the house, and he quickly put down the cup and turned to go in.

"During the Cultural Revolution, the chairman of the committee is asking, when will cannons and howitzers be made?"

"We have already demonstrated this problem, the factory is under construction, and it will be completed in October, and the main problem is the cannon tube steel, and the special steel mill will be able to start production as soon as it is finished." Zhuang Jihua explained.

Coming out of the 401 factory, Chiang Kai-shek didn't plan to go to 701, the harvest was already great, on the way back, Chiang Kai-shek suddenly proposed to go to the base and barracks to see, this was unplanned, Zhuang Jihua was a little embarrassed, Chiang Kai-shek immediately found out.

"Headmaster, if you don't have this arrangement in advance, it's not easy to do it safely." Zhuang Jihua explained: "Temporarily convened, those professors and experts in the laboratory may not come. ”

"If you don't come, you won't come, and I don't plan to speak, just to see." Chiang Kai-shek said lightly.

Zhuang Jihua had no choice but to let the driver drive to Shangqingsi Wharf.

Although the time was very tight, Zhuang Jihua and Qian Dajun still tried their best to arrange guards for protection, first let Chiang Kai-shek wait on the shore, let the guards cross the river first, and at the same time arrange for Song Yunfei and Zhao Hanjie to cross the river with special forces, and also notify Du Yuming Fan Hanjie in the barracks and Li Zhilong Tengjie in the base to prepare to greet them, and only let Chiang Kai-shek cross the river after everything is done.

After receiving the notice, Li Zhilong immediately ordered the assembly, and all the students who were still in the base, including the government affairs training class, the party affairs training class, and the cadre school, gathered and waited in the field.

As soon as Chiang Kai-shek arrived at the gate of the base, Li Zhilong stepped forward: "Report to the principal, the headquarters of the base of the southwest development team has been assembled, and the principal is invited to inspect and give a lecture." ”

"Originally, I said that I just came to see you, what are you doing with such a big show, this Zhuang Cultural Revolution," Chiang Kai-shek was very happy, but his face pretended to be displeased.

"It is an honor for all our colleagues to come to the principal's visit and support our work!" Li Zhilong replied loudly that since the last time he talked with Zhuang Jihua, Li Zhilong was determined to improve relations with Chiang Kai-shek and seize every opportunity to increase Chiang Kai-shek's trust.

"Okay, in Tian, you can walk with me." As soon as Chiang Kai-shek's words came out, Zhuang Jihua immediately flashed to the side, and Li Zhilong walked beside Chiang Kai-shek naturally.

"These are all members of the base?" Looking at the neat queue on the field, Chiang Kai-shek asked.

"Not all, the one on the left is the base staff, and in the middle are the cadets of the cadre school wearing military uniforms and no epaulettes; Wearing a tunic on the right are the trainees of the government affairs and party affairs training courses. Li Zhilong introduced them one by one.

Noon and the party affairs training class attracted the attention of Chiang Kai-shek, and he pondered and asked: "Do all the government affairs and party affairs training personnel come to the party affairs and county government axes from all parts of Sichuan?" ”

Li Zhilong replied in the affirmative: "These two classes were formed by the Cultural Revolution and Director Yang with great effort, with the aim of promoting the experience of Yucheng to Sichuan. ”

"Are the students of the cadre school the same?" Chiang Kai-shek was extremely perceptive.

"Not all, the students of the cadre school are mainly from the grassroots party departments and the activists of the Three Youth Leagues, but they lack practical experience, and the method we have adopted is to use the old to lead the new, select some cadres with work experience from the grassroots level plus some newly graduated students, and form the grassroots party departments and county government axes with the old members who have been trained, so that the old can lead the new and the new promote the old, so that in practice there will be fewer mistakes." Saying that, the group walked to the edge of the field, and Li Zhilong stopped: "Principal, can you say a few words to the comrades." ”

"Okay." Chiang Kai-shek agreed.

"Stand upright!" With the order of the officer on duty, the audience was silent, Chiang Kai-shek ascended the rostrum with great interest, and looking down from here, he found that the age composition of these was very obvious, and the left and middle were young and energetic faces, and the waist was straight; The standing posture on the right is obviously worse, and the face looks old.

"From last year to now, many newspapers are introducing the great changes that have taken place in Chongqing, but I can't believe it, because the newspapers will inevitably be suspected of touting, but today I want to say that your work is very good, the newspapers have not touted you, but belittled you, you have built dozens of factories in just three years, built thousands of kilometers of roads, and the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway is about to open to traffic, comrades, do you know what this means?

This means that in the future we will be more able to resist external insults; The sign of a strong country is the development of heavy industry and the development of the national defense industry, and only when these two things are developed can we break through the shackles of all the unequal treaties imposed on us by the imperialists, wash away all the shames and humiliations suffered by the country in the past hundred years, and enable our country to truly read freely and become strong. We often talk about the national economy and people's livelihood, but what is the national economy? The national economy can also be said to be national defense, and the content of national defense is different according to the interpretation in the broad and narrow sense, and the national defense in the narrow sense refers to the country's armament, and as for the national defense in the broad sense, in addition to armaments, it also includes internal affairs, foreign affairs, finance, finance, culture, education, and all railways, transportation industries, and so on. It is the people's livelihood, and building the people's livelihood is the core of building the country. The prime minister said: The first priority in construction lies in the people's livelihood. It clearly and accurately indicates to us where the central goal of nation-building work lies in the future.

If we want to build people's livelihood, what principles should we have? The fundamental principle of people's livelihood construction is "benevolence", our prime minister created Sanming Cooking Righteousness and led the national revolution, which is completely based on the fundamental spirit of "loving people", so our people's livelihood construction should also take benevolence as the starting point, we are to love our compatriots, protect our compatriots, and make 450,000,000 compatriots have a satisfying life, a sound body and a lively and enterprising spirit, so that we can carry out the people's livelihood revolution, and only when the people's living needs can be satisfied, and the body and spirit can be soundly developed, Then all the workers can live in peace, all industries can prosper, all the workers can live and work in peace and contentment, and all industries can develop and prosper, and then there will be a foundation for military and political affairs, and only then can the social economy develop, and then the construction can be completed and the national strength can be enriched. Therefore, we can say that not only the success of the people's livelihood construction is due to the subtlety of people's hearts and compassion, so as to achieve the greatness of their fraternity, that is, the entire revolutionary cause and the entire national construction must have a deep love permeating it, so that a force of great benevolence and courage can be formed. Achieve long-lasting success. The people's livelihood doctrine, which is one of the three highest guiding principles for the construction of people's livelihood, created by the prime minister, is planned according to this spirit of benevolence.

The construction of the people's livelihood has a bearing on the success or failure of our nation-building, and there are four words that must be remembered to do a good job in the construction of the people's livelihood: management, education, upbringing, and health, these four words are our sharp weapons for the construction of the country,......."

The more Chiang Kai-shek talked about it, the more smoothly he said, the more he said that the scope of his involvement became, from the industrial development of Yucheng to the social reform, and then he expounded on the people's livelihood doctrine of Sanming and boiling, and talked about how to improve the quality of the cadres themselves from the implementation of the people's livelihood doctrine, and sternly warned the young people present that they must not become bureaucrats who are corrupt and pervert the law, and that they must strengthen training, strengthen organization, and boost their spirits.

Zhuang Jihua sighed again, this Chiang Kai-shek didn't know the following situation, why didn't he find a way for decades? Just when he sighed, Chiang Kai-shek's words turned to rent reduction and interest reduction, and Zhuang Jihua immediately pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

"In order to practice the people's livelihood, the national political axe once tried to reduce rent and interest in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, stipulating that the land rent should not be higher than 375, but soon this policy failed, why? It is not that this policy is bad, but that there are various deviations in the implementation of this policy, and in addition to the collusion between the grassroots cadres and the local gentry, the result is not only not to reduce the peasants' burdens, but to increase the peasants' burdens. ”

Zhuang Jihua was very happy in his heart, he thought that this was equivalent to Chiang Kai-shek agreeing to his implementation of rent and interest reduction in the sixteen counties of Yucheng, Lin Wei noticed his expression, he approached Zhuang Jihua and reminded in a low voice: "It is not so easy to reduce rent and interest, brother, be cautious, be careful." ”

But Zhuang Jihua still felt encouraged, rent reduction and interest reduction was the last major thing he had to do in civil affairs, and after completing this matter, he would turn to the army in an all-round way, hand over the development team to Li Zhilong, and train 100,000 new troops himself.

After Chiang Kai-shek finished speaking, Zhuang Jihua motioned for Li Zhilong to come to the stage, Li Zhilong understood that this was Zhuang Jihua's conscious move to push him out, and he did not refuse, and walked up to the rostrum in a few steps.

The direction of our future work is to follow the instructions of the chairman, strive to develop people's livelihood, and practice the meaning of Sanming internally; Resist external humiliation and restore national power. We believe that under the leadership of the chairman, we will certainly be able to realize the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation,......。 ”

Zhuang Jihua felt a little numb, but he and Chiang Kai-shek were equally happy, Chiang Kai-shek was happy because this unruly student finally returned to his command, Zhuang Jihua was happy that Li Zhilong was finally willing to temporarily bow his arrogant head for the overall situation, and he could rest assured that everything in Yucheng was handed over to him.

Chiang Kai-shek's interest became higher and higher, and he inspected all parts of the base, the canteen, the barracks, and the experimental building, just like he had done on Whampoa Island, and of course he did not enter the laboratory, but he also saw the "arrogance" of the professors.

As soon as they entered the experimental building, Zhuang Jihua was stopped by Professor Lu of the electronic laboratory, and Professor Lu yelled at Zhuang Jihua angrily, asking Zhuang Jihua to immediately solve the test equipment for him, which he asked to buy last month, but the problem is that the United States restricts the export of equipment, Zhuang Jihua has to turn to Europe, and this coming and going will be delayed. But Professor Hu didn't care about this, he didn't even recognize Chiang Kai-shek next to him.

But Zhuang Jihua could only patiently explain to him, saying that he had bought it in Germany and was on the way to it, and he would have to wait for half a month. You want me to rest for half a month, I have nothing to do for half a month, Zhuang Wenge, you have to make it clear, whether you let me come on vacation or to work, if I am on vacation, I can leave now! ”

"Professor Lu, is it okay to save some face for me," Zhuang Jihua pulled him aside: "The chairman of the committee has come to inspect." ”

"Face is important or work is important! The chairman of the committee is here..."Professor Lu paused: "You said the chairman?" ”

"Yes, yes, it's my teacher, okay to save some face for me in front of my teacher? Please. Zhuang Jihua forgave him.

Professor Lu is still clear about this, the chairman still has to give face, he turned around and saw a large group of people looking at them in surprise, he found that the faces of these people are very unfamiliar, the one in the middle wearing a black cloak and a military uniform seems to be more familiar, Li Zhilong, who is standing next to him, is looking at him embarrassedly and then at the black cloak, not knowing what to say.

"Professor Lu, this is my teacher, Chairman Jiang," Zhuang Jihua hurriedly stepped forward to introduce: "President, this is Professor Lu, who has returned from the United States, is an expert in electronics, and is currently engaged in the research of bomber sights. ”

Chiang Kai-shek nodded, he stepped forward to hold Professor Lu's hand: "Professor Lu, thank you for your hard work, when the country is in danger, you can resolutely return to the country, Jiang is inexplicably grateful." ”

Professor Lu was a little at a loss, and after a while he explained: "There, there, are all Chinese, naturally love to do their best for the country, but the country is too weak, the foundation is too poor, let me be anxious, and I ask the chairman for forgiveness for the rudeness." ”

"No faux pas, no faux pas, if our cadres were like you, our country would soon become stronger." Chiang Kai-shek said with a smile, but his eyes glanced at Zhuang Jihua with great meaning.

"The Cultural Revolution often said that when the professors got angry, they would treat him as a third grandson, but I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems to be true." Lin Wei interjected and quipped.

Professor Lu argued for Zhuang Jihua: "How can there be such a thing, who dares to do this to the Cultural Revolution, he has a high prestige among us, and we all listen to him." ”

"Then we were wrong." Lin Wei laughed.

"I was responding to him just now," Professor Lu said seriously, "You don't know, it's much happier to find him, and you can take advantage of it." ”

"Take advantage, what is cheap?" Zhuang Jihua was a little baffled.

Professor Lu smiled and said, "If you react, you can give us priority, this trick, I will tell others as soon as I come." ”

I fell, Zhuang Jihua almost fell on the spot, so it was, who said that these professors only know how to do knowledge, it turns out that they have already found out, but for the sake of the priority and cheapness of transportation, they still have to rush to him in front of him to "train" him.

Looking at Zhuang Jihua's bitter face, even Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help laughing.
