Zhuang Jihua's worries soon arrived, as soon as he arrived in Panzhihua, he received news that Jiang Baili finally did not survive this winter, and died of illness in Wuhan in early December. The national political axe held a grand and simple funeral for Jiang Baili, the solemnity is because Jiang Baili has a very high reputation in the military and literary circles, as a soldier Jiang Baili is self-explanatory, as a literati Jiang Baili is also famous, he once wrote the "History of the European Renaissance", and Xu Zhimo jointly established the Crescent Society, and even wrote articles to promote socialism, which attracted the attention of Chen Duxiu, Li Dazhao and others.

His funeral became a meeting place for literati and soldiers in Wuhan, Chiang Kai-shek, He Yingqin, Deng Yanda, and Zhou Enlai all sent wreaths, Zhuang Jihua also sent a telegram asking Hong Junqi to send a flower basket on his behalf, and Tang Shengzhi held a wake-up for him as a student.

The news of the deceased leaving one after another made Zhuang Jihua's mood a little depressed, Ren Naiqiang saw that Zhuang Jihua was in a bad mood, so he accompanied him to the manor at the beginning of his own study to relax, and of course in the name of contacting the local Yi people.

The reception at the beginning of self-study far exceeded Zhuang Jihua, and even Ren Naiqiang's expectations, the entire official village at the beginning of self-study was decorated with a new look, like a grand festival, self-study at the beginning of ten miles to greet each other, along the way are singing and dancing Yi girls, Zhuang Jihua hung a garland around his neck, smiling to the crowd on both sides, but muttering in his heart, this time will not give two more gifts.

However, it can be seen that the welcome of the Yi people is sincere, three years ago Zhuang Jihua sent troops to Huili, defeated the Yunnan army in one fell swoop, and then occupied Yunnan, and the Xikang Yi people led by themselves also took the opportunity to expand their power to northern Yunnan, and completely defeated the Lu Quanjin family.

The Panzhihua Office has built schools extensively in the Yi District to accept the children of the Yi people, and under the pressure of the Panzhihua Office, the Yi District has also reduced rent and interest, and the political axe has also reduced most of the taxes.

After the industry entered the Yi area, the Han workers were not enough, a large number of Yi people joined it, although they did not have technology, but they were the main force in building roads and building hydropower stations, the main force in repairing factories, with the extension of the highway, convenient transportation, a large number of foreign materials poured into the Yi area, and the Yi people's specialties were also exported to other places, and some enlightened Yi people began to build their own factories to produce supplies, and the economy of the entire Yi area was vibrant.

"What is rare, people's hearts are the most difficult, Ren Gong, you have worked hard in the past few years." Zhuang Jihua looked at the cheerful smiles on the faces of the crowd on both sides, and was very emotional in his heart, when he came for the first time, although it was also lively, their expressions were indifferent.

Ren Naiqiang nodded approvingly on the one hand, but shook his head on the other hand: "Captain, you overestimate my role, I have been in Xikang for decades, I want to do something for the Yi people, but nothing has been achieved, until you come, Panzhihua Construction, steel plant, cement factory, brick factory, hydropower station, machinery factory, water plant, highway, textile factory, tea factory, school, Yi District has finally changed, Cultural Revolution, this is not my credit, it should be yours, you are the source of all these great changes." ”

"Mr. Ren is right, Chairman Zhuang is our true friend of the Yi people, I didn't know before, but now I understand." Said with a smile at the beginning of self-study.

"Lu persuades the Jin family to definitely not think so." Zhuang Jihua sarcastically said angrily, the battle of Yunnan was made by this self-taught Chu and Liu Wenhui, although the result was very good, but Zhuang Jihua felt that he was being used, not to mention that those two gifts also made him haunted.

When I first heard the words of self-study, I couldn't help laughing, and when the Yi people around saw this, the reeds blew more happily, and the dance was more cheerful, Zhuang Jihua tilted his head slightly: "Zi Tusi, don't get any more gifts this time, I can't afford it." ”

The laughter at the beginning of the self-study was even louder, what happened to Ayi and Ani He had heard that his housekeeper had seen them in Xichang, until they went to school in Xichang, and after graduation, they went to Yucheng, although he didn't know what happened later, judging from Zhuang Jihua's performance, he didn't touch them.

"It's not for that," Zi Xuechu said with a smile: "Your army has also helped us fight in the past, but the general is different from them, and your help to our Yi people is not only this, you see," Zi Xuechu pointed to the street lamps on the street and pointed to the newly built houses around: "And those schools, you have changed the Yi district and let the Yi people live a rich life." ”

Zhuang Jihua had actually seen the electric lights on both sides of the street a long time ago, and he was slightly surprised, but when he heard the words of self-study, he still shook his head lightly: "Rich? It's still early to be rich. ”

"Since Tusi has helped us a lot in the past few years," Ren Naiqiang took over the topic: "Whether it is in the construction of highways, hydropower stations, or mining, it has provided us with great help." In recent years, we have built three hydropower stations, with a total power generation capacity of 3 million kilowatts, in addition to providing steel plants, cement factories, machinery factories, arsenals, but also have the ability to provide electricity to most towns and cities to meet the needs of agriculture, and now we are building a fourth hydropower station in Ertan, this hydropower station has been completed, which can not only meet the needs of Panzhihua, but also meet the needs of Xichang and western Yunnan. ”

Zhuang Jihua nodded slightly, electricity is the engine of all industries, and sufficient power can ensure industrial development, but he still feels that it is a little excessive, and the installed capacity is a little ahead.

"Leave it alone." Zhuang Jihua told himself in his heart that even if Panzhihua could not be consumed, it could solve the needs of other places, and the power of the entire southwest was not too much, but seriously insufficient.

"When will steel be produced?" Zhuang Jihua raised the issue he was most concerned about.

Ren Naiqiang has long been prepared for this problem: "After five years of construction, we have formed an output of 200,000 tons of pig iron, and the blast furnace for the production of steel has entered the installation and testing stage, and it is estimated that it will be able to produce steel in February next year, with a design scale of 500,000 tons." ”

Zhuang Jihua nodded slightly, but there was some bad taste in his heart, the development of Panzhihua to this day he is not sure whether it is right or wrong, the construction cycle is too long, five years have passed and it has not been able to produce steel, to change to other places, two steel plants have also been built, whether this investment is cost-effective remains to be tested by time.

The official village still prepared a grand banquet and cheerful dance, Zhuang Jihua still entered the venue as forgetful as last time, and danced with many Yi girls, mellow wine beauty, elegant sheng song, let him forget his troubles for a while, the rice wine brewed by the Yi people was mellow and sweet, Zhuang Jihua was drunk.

In a drunken haze, he couldn't remember what he said, he couldn't remember how he got back to the room, Liu Yinshu came to his side in a trance, with a delicate face, smooth skin, and a passionate kiss. With a gentle breath and a soft body, he felt that he was about to explode, and rudely tore her clothes, Liu Yinshu almost did not resist and fell in love with him.

Before dawn, Zhuang Jihua woke up and felt extremely thirsty, he wanted to speak, but suddenly felt a soft body in his arms, his brain suddenly became excited, and a word immediately floated out of his mind, gift, it's over, this guy is the beginning of self-study. He shook his head slightly, his memory was still very vague, he only remembered the constant toasting with his parents at the beginning of his own school, and he kept drinking, and then it was .......

Messed up, he carefully removed the delicate body in his arms, and couldn't see her clearly in the dark room, and gently put her beside him, as soon as he got up, the woman muttered, and Zhuang Jihua was stunned.

"Uh-huh,...."

Why is this voice so familiar, and she was anxiously preparing to get out of bed, her hands and feet became heavier, and the woman came to her senses: "What's wrong?" Thirsty? ”

As he spoke, he was about to turn over and stretch out his hand to turn on the lamp, Zhuang Jihua fell on the bed at once, his mind was messing around. It's actually a palace embroidery painting, how could it be her? Zhuang Jihua couldn't remember what was going on............

Gong Xiuhua brought the water over, reached out to help Zhuang Jihua's head, Zhuang Jihua did not dodge, he was a little numb, he didn't know what was going on, and after drinking the water, Gong Xiuhua turned off the light again, and then snuggled in his arms.

Neither of them spoke, listening to each other's heartbeats, knowing that the other was not asleep, and an inexplicable atmosphere was born in the darkness.

"Embroidery, what's going on?" Zhuang Jihua finally couldn't help but whisper: "I...... I don't know.... ”

"It's not about you, it's my will." Gong Xiuhua whispered: "I want a child." ”

His head swelled vigorously, Zhuang Jihua didn't dare to move, let Gong Xiuhua hug him like this, feel the softness and delicacy of her body, and it took him a while before he had a reaction.

"Where's Wu Ziniu? Why don't you look for her? ”

"I've got to find a guy I like to have a baby." Gong Xiuhua's tone was still so calm, but Zhuang Jihua felt that when she first heard Wu Ziniu, her body tightened, and she didn't relax until she spoke.

"Why?" Zhuang Jihua still couldn't help but ask.

Gong Xiuhua hesitated before speaking, and Zhuang Jihua understood why he had been matching them, but the two had never made progress.

In order to repay the debt, the palace embroidery painting into the dance hall, as a newcomer, especially the beautiful newcomer, by the red card in the dance hall ostracized, they set some traps, the palace embroidery painting is not clear, almost stepped in, relying on the help of other dance ladies to avoid, among them there is a dance lady surnamed Wu and she is very good.

This Miss Wu has a good friend, is the detective of the concession, this inspector said to marry her, but never acted, soon, Miss Wu learned that the inspector has a new love, is another dance lady in the dance hall, but she is already pregnant with the inspector's child, looking at the good sister secretly weeping, the palace embroidery painting is not angry, so I went to find the inspector, only to find out that it was actually Wu Ziniu.

"Wu Ziniu, this person, it's not bad, but it's not kind," Gong Xiuhua finally said: "He is good to me, but..." For Nia, I scolded him, and even beat him, alas, he is a prodigal son, not suitable for marriage, Nya takes a fancy to him, he is considered unladylike, only I am unlucky, I don't want to be Nia's second. In fact, in the development team, there are a few girls who also have a good impression of him, but he doesn't dare to move, in Yucheng and Xuzhou, he goes to Jiyuan to have fun, these things, he never avoids me, but you don't know. ”

Listening to the palace embroidery painting, Zhuang Jihua's heart was unconsciously put down, and his body also turned sideways and held the palace embroidery painting in his arms. sighed vigorously in his heart, Gong Xiuhua and Wu Ziniu couldn't be together from the beginning, but he wanted to get them together.

"After Lao Peng died, I thought I wouldn't fall in love with other men anymore, but following you all these years,...., I know that I am in love again, but Yin Shu is in the middle. ..., but I don't want to leave you anymore. ”

Gong Xiuhua's voice became lower and lower, and the face attached to him became hotter and hotter. Zhuang Jihua sighed softly in his heart, he reached out and held her tightly in his arms, and it took a long time before he said, "But ......, I can't give you anything." ”

"I don't want anything." Gong Xiu's painting whispered in his ear.

The word love, as long as it is trapped, it will be cut constantly, the reason is still messy, entangled, and difficult to understand.

Zhuang Jihua suddenly felt a little ridiculous, wasn't he like this in his previous life, he was entangled with the girl, but in this life, he became a little Taoist, especially in China, but this world originally allowed concubines and Xiaomi.

Since it has happened, let it continue, there will always be a solution.

It's messy, and all kinds of thoughts arise in his mind, one will be hugging left and right, and the other will be swinging a sword to break off love; Before he could think clearly, Gong Xiuhua's soft lips kissed again, and for a while, desire overwhelmed reason.

Just when Zhuang Jihua was indulging, thousands of miles away in Lhasa, officers above the 24th Army Corps level gathered in Liu Wenhui's headquarters, Liu Wenhui sat in the first seat of the conference room, and Chief of Staff Wang Jingyu was reading out the order.
