Chapter 7 Chapter VII

1 Zhao Zhentao went back to the provincial capital after the Snow Lantern Festival in Laoxie Bay. The main purpose was to find Governor Fu to implement the matter of digging money from Jinshan Cement Factory.Gao Huanzhang was very supportive of the launch of the Beigang Railway. After he returned from a visit to the Pearl River Delta in the south, his attitude changed significantly.He saw that without a transportation network matching the port, Xingang was a waste port.In desperation, he asked Zhao Zhentao to cut first and then play.He boldly said: If you lose your black hat, it will be mine!Zhao Zhentao was moved by Gao Huanzhang's attitude, but he still wanted to make his last effort in the provincial capital, and by the way, he would see his wife Meng Yao and daughter Nannan who had just finished the exam.

Knowing that Governor Fu was going abroad soon, Zhao Zhentao asked the driver to drive directly to the provincial government as soon as the car drove into the provincial capital.In the car, he called Governor Fu's secretary, and Governor Fu only gave him twenty minutes to meet.After the meeting, Governor Fu said: This year is a very tough year for our work.The monstrous waves of rural reform have knocked on the gates of our cities.Whether the city can stand up bravely to meet the challenges of the countryside has become the key to our destiny.What does urban reform rely on?It still depends on the enterprise, as long as it is beneficial to the future development of the enterprise, you should boldly try it!

Governor Fu made no mention of Jinshan Cement Plant's request not to be included in the finance temporarily.But Zhao Zhentao's eyes lit up, he suddenly realized, and blamed himself, do you want Governor Fu to tell you clearly?Doesn't that tell you all?He immediately called Gao Huanzhang.He went home to rest after having dinner with some friends in the provincial capital. Meng Yao was really excited when she saw Zhao Zhentao, and looked at him carefully.The daughter, Nannan, smiled and said, "Mom, tell me, is my dad fat or thin?" Meng Yao shook her head and said, "He is not thin, he seems to be fat. Do you have something delicious in Beilong?"

Zhao Zhentao said: "Beilong is surrounded by mountains and sea, and the food is better than our provincial capital." Meng Yao said with a smile: "You are a worthless mayor, you still have the face to say it. My dad is not satisfied with your work in Beilong! Really not satisfied!" Zhao Zhentao asked in surprise: "Where is Dad's main dissatisfaction?" Meng Yao said: "Dad said, your Beilonggang has been dismounted, and the province is shaking a lot. What are you doing as the mayor? There is no money. In such a big city, you can't get a little money from anywhere." ?Hey, don't be angry. Dad also praised you sometimes, saying that you are a model in Beilongshu, named Qin Bengui. This does not represent the opinion of me and Nannan. Don't want any political achievements, just be a good person. In the future Go abroad with me."

Zhao Zhentao really wanted to defend himself, but it was useless to say anything to Meng Yao and Nan Nan, so he said, "I'm very busy this time, I have to go back tomorrow, and I won't go to see my father. But please send a message, we in Beilonggang The defense is the offense, and he will be able to see it when the time comes! Let’s not mention Beilonggang, let’s talk about you first, can you leave a year ago?” Meng Yao asked puzzledly: "I heard you are anxious? Zhao Zhentao, Zhao Zhentao, did you see that Sun Yanping and just stared at us?" Zhao Zhentao lowered his face and said, "Look at you, where are you from?"

Meng Yao said: "Don't deny it, your wings are hard, aren't you? You caught a broken model and thought you could do it? If you can get Secretary Pan and Governor Bo..." Zhao Zhentao waved his hands in agitation: "So you didn't talk so much nonsense, did you take the wrong medicine today? I asked you to go to discuss with you about the boys going to school. You went to the other side of the ocean to enjoy happiness, and Nannan and I also I have to live! Is it a man or a man?" The man said: "That's right, Mom doesn't care about my instigation!"

Meng Yao parted her hair, the black hair was loose and loose.While packing up her things, she said: "Man, you are heartless, how good is mom to you? Are you and your dad working together to make your mother angry? Mom doesn't know as much as you! Man, you are going to take the high school exam next year." , would you like to follow grandma in the provincial capital, or would you like to go to Beilong No. 1 Middle School with your father?" Zhao Zhentao said: "Beilong No. 1 Middle School is a well-known key school north of the Yangtze River!" The man put his arms around Zhao Zhentao's neck and said, "I'm going to Beilong No. 1 Middle School, and I can visit my grandpa then."

Meng Yao shook her head and said: "I admire the admission rate of Beilong No. 1 Middle School. There are students from Beilong No. 1 Middle School in our school. But most of them are children with high scores and low abilities. I don't want boys to become Children with high grades and low abilities. Also, I heard that the management there is very strict, can you bear it?" Zhao Zhentao said: "No matter how much she eats, he can only go back to Beilong. Grandma is so old, and her health is not good. Besides, your brother and your brother's children are too spoiled. It's noisy again, which affects study. We men and women are the best, and we have to go to the best university in the country!"

The man gritted his teeth and said, "Mom, I'm going to Beilong!" Meng Yao sighed, and said, "I won't come back when I get there, and I won't be angry with you!" There was nothing in her eyes.In fact, she is a very simple woman. After graduating from university, she still works on the university campus. Because of her father's status, she has hardly suffered any hardships in life, so even if she goes overseas, it is impossible for her to stay there.But she couldn't convince Zhao Zhentao to go with her. Zhao Zhentao knew that Meng Yao's mouth was broken, but he couldn't go far in his heart.What a woman thinks and what she says are two different things.Zhao Zhentao began to adjust his strategy, saying something that Meng Yao liked to hear.Joy immediately appeared on Meng Yao's face, pink joy.

After the exam, Meng Yao is very relaxed, and at night, she and Zhao Zhentao still have a long-lost tenderness that is better than newlyweds.Meng Yao first wrapped her snow-white arms around his neck, and there was a sound in the perfumed quilt.Her two legs were inserted between the man's legs, and they were quickly twisted into twists.Meng Yao felt that her way of life was more real and closer to the true face of the world, while Zhao Zhentao wore a mask all day long in the officialdom.What she didn't understand was, how could people with different lifestyles like her and him get mixed up so firmly?

The next morning, Zhao Zhentao didn't disturb the sleeping Meng Yao, and got up together with the schoolboys.The man and the man wanted to eat at school, Zhao Zhentao rushed to the hotel without eating, and found the driver to go back to Beilong as soon as possible. As soon as the car got out of the provincial capital and entered the entrance of the expressway, Qi Shaowu called and said that the salinization salt farm and the alkali factory were fighting.The salt workers robbed the car of the director of the soda plant, Yuan, and alerted the police.Zhao Zhentao chased after him and asked, "Is it your boy's fault this time?" Qi Shaowu categorically denied: "How can I? I'm the deputy county magistrate in charge, and there's someone who put a piss helmet on his head?" Zhao Zhentao's cell phone ran out of battery, so he turned off the phone, imagining how much trouble the salt field and alkali plant could make.Salinization is his long-term unit for slicing, and he has some understanding of the contradictions between salt farms and alkali plants during his research.These contradictions were planted by Li Guanghan: the soda factory owed the salt factory 14 million in debt, the soda factory owed the Jinshan Cement Factory a 7 million debt, and the Weiyuan Chemical Factory on the other side of the Bohai Sea owed the soda factory 17 million in debt.He thought that if these "triangular debts" could not be cleared in time, it would be empty talk to withdraw the construction funds from Jinshan Cement Plant, and it might also cause Beilong's financial collapse for the first time in his hands.Can't wait any longer, can't wait any longer!Zhao Zhentao was very anxious. 2 The situation is serious.The saltworkers at the saltworks of Yanhua took away the Mercedes-Benz car owned by Yuan Yiliang, director of Beilongjian. Factory director Yuan was not in the car at the time, and he was blocked by some salt workers in the office. When the incident broke out, Tong Changgui, the director of the salt factory, was not there. He took a few people from the finance department to other places to collect accounts.The saltworks can still produce salt in winter, but without any funds, it is really impossible to turn around.In addition to being salty, the salt worker was more angry.Li Guanghan was dealt with, more or less vented their anger for them, but this could not last long.There is no place in the whole salinization where wages are not paid, but they can't get paid for a year looking at the tall salt stacks in the salt field. Director Tong was the original deputy director who succeeded Li Guanghan, and he promised to pay his salary before the snow fell in winter.The vast Baili Salt Flat is full of the color of salt, the sky and the earth are white, but the eyes of the salt workers are blood red.They spontaneously organized more than 200 people, first surrounded the director Yuan of the soda factory, robbed his car, and then cut off the small road for soda transportation.In the past, this road was a common lane for transporting salt and alkali, and it was jointly funded and built by the two companies four years ago.The saltworks were unable to turn around, and all the cars transporting salt joined the ranks of alkali transportation. They even rented the saltworks fleet, including Mrs. Ge's personal fleet, which all showed that the alkalifield was rich.They have money to develop themselves but don't repay the debts of the saltworks. How can there be such a reason in the world? Since the salt workers couldn't tell which one was the transport vehicle of the soda plant and which one was the individual transport vehicle, they stopped them all and forced the drivers to unload the soda noodles on the vehicles to the saltworks.The drivers of the soda plant didn't make much trouble, but the individual drivers were so angry that the soda noodles were robbed from them, and the soda plant wanted to seek compensation from them.The two sides scolded each other first, and then fought together.Alkaline noodles are flying, fists, feet and sticks are flying, roaring and cursing are mixed with the sound of the car body being lifted from time to time, forming a chaotic world of red and white. When the caustic soda factory called the Yanhua county government for help, it happened that deputy county magistrate Qi Shaowu was on duty.Qi Shaowu is a cadre from the saltworks, so he naturally favors the saltworks in his heart.After receiving the call, he reported to Secretary Chai and County Magistrate Bai, and then rushed to the scene of the accident with the police officers from the County Public Security Bureau.The salt workers and soda factory drivers were all white, except for the blood on their faces and hands, they were still white, just like a group of white-faced ghosts.The public security officers bludgeoned violently for a while, and the fighting gradually stopped.Qi Shaowu stood on the car, holding the armrest with one hand, and waving the other hand high, shouting: "If you have something to discuss, can a fight solve the problem?" The two sides broke away from contact, and the situation was quickly brought under control. Seeing that it was Qi Shaowu, the salt workers knelt down together and said, "Chief Qi, you have to decide for us! The soda factory in Gouri is so fat that it doesn't pay back the debt. We haven't spent a year Lah, you can't just leave it alone!" Qi Shaowu's tone was extremely severe: "Where is your director Tong? Did he make you make trouble?" The salt workers said: "Director Tong has been suppressing us all the time. He won't let us make trouble, but he can't get any money. He went outside to ask for bills again. When he left, we-" Qi Shaowu scolded: "Look at your talents, let's talk about it when we go back!" The person from the soda factory said: "County Chief Qi, take a look, they have robbed Director Yuan's car. Director Yuan is still being detained by them!" Qi Shaowu asked anxiously: "Where is Director Yuan?" The person from the alkali factory said, "It's in the office of the factory." Qi Shaowu arranged for several policemen to deal with the scene, and then rushed to the soda factory with his own people.The situation in the soda factory was not as easy to solve as on the road. More than 80 salt workers surrounded the entrance of the building, and no one would be let in without money.Qi Shaowu didn't change much when he came. They didn't trust Qi Shaowu.Qi Shaowu didn't have much prestige when he was the head of the saltworks. The workers said that Qi Shaowu used the money from the saltworks to buy an official for himself.The saltworks used to be a very fat place, which director didn't profit from it? Seeing that the salt workers didn't give him face, Qi Shaowu was very annoyed, so he asked the police and people from the security department of the soda factory to rush in forcibly.They rushed in once, but were coaxed out again by the salt workers, and some policemen were beaten black and blue. Qi Shaowu used the phone to talk to Director Yuan who was besieged in the building: "Director Yuan, why are you so upset? The money for the alkali factory belongs to your family? Take some and send these salt flowers back first! You must owe money to the saltworks, right?" Factory Manager Yuan said on the phone: "County Qi, don't stand up and talk without your back hurting. The debt is a problem left over from history. Why should my surname Yuan bear it? Besides, the chemical factory still owes us money. If Weiyuan Chemical Factory doesn't pay us back, we won't be able to pay them back!" Qi Shaowu stomped his feet anxiously, kicked the snow away on the ground and said, "You old man is really brainless, who told you to take out more than 10 million immediately? Take out some first, help!" Director Yuan's voice was extremely angry: "Don't play with local protectionism. I opened my mouth today, and someone will follow suit tomorrow. Let them succeed. I will have a bad life in the future! Yanhua County can figure it out Come on, if you can't get them to leave, I'll find Secretary Gao Huanzhang and Mayor Zhao!" Qi Shaowu lost his temper and said, "Go to whomever you like!" He took the policemen away. The matter dragged on until the evening, when Zhao Zhentao came from the provincial capital to conclude.Zhao Zhentao called on his mobile phone in the car, and asked Gao Huasheng, the deputy mayor in charge of industry, to wait for him directly in Yanhua.Zhao Zhentao only stayed in Yanhua for half an hour and asked in detail about the cause and current situation of the incident.He severely criticized Secretary Chai and Qi Shaowu of Yanhua County: "Such a big thing happened in Yanhua, and you are still staying in the office?"Do you still have a sense of responsibility?Qi Shaowu justified and said that he went to deal with the situation.Zhao Zhentao said, who would be responsible if someone died?Both Chai Defa and Qi Shaowu were scolded.Zhao Zhentao saw the attitude of the salinization cadres towards the troubles in the saltworks and the soda factory. They wanted the saltworks from the bottom of their hearts, hoping that the soda factory would pay back the debts to save the saltworks, but they were afraid that the leaders of Beilong City would criticize them.Zhao Zhentao didn't say anything, but just led them to the scene together.Contrary to the expectations of Secretary Chai and Qi Shaowu, Zhao Zhentao's performance at the scene was very straightforward. He made a clear promise to the salt workers: the municipal government will solve the triangular debt problem within three days, and if you still can't get your wages, come to the municipal government to find me Zhao Zhentao!He also wrote them his office phone number. Like the last time in front of the Yanhua Hotel, the salt workers trusted Mayor Zhao and slowly disbanded. As soon as the salt workers left, Zhao Zhentao and others went upstairs to see the director of the factory, Yuan Yiliang, who had suffered from coronary heart disease.Director Yuan ignored the bureaucrats of Salt Chemicals and complained when he saw Zhao Zhentao.There have been frictions between the soda factory and the salinization over the years, and he wanted to exchange his grievances for Zhao Zhentao's criticism of the salinization cadres.Chai Defa and Qi Shaowu also calculated that they must be raped. To their surprise, Zhao Zhentao severely criticized Director Yuan: "Don't talk about the problem of salinization. Don't see how much you have suffered. I don’t sympathize with you! Since ancient times, people have killed people to pay for their lives, and debts have been paid! You must find a way to pay back the funds you owe to the saltworks! Tomorrow, everyone will come to the city hall for a meeting!” Director Yuan lowered his head in pain: "Okay, okay." Zhao Zhentao said: "The salt field also needs to remove people!" Qi Shaowu said: "The head of the salt factory, Tong, is asking for debts in other places!" Zhao Zhentao said, "Call him back immediately! The county supervisors will also go." After Zhao Zhentao dealt with the matter, he asked Director Yuan to take him around the workshop, and also looked at the large inventory of the soda factory.He didn't speak, but his heart was very heavy, and he felt that the Beilonggang project could not be delayed any longer. The mayor's office meeting to clean up the "triangular debt" was held for three consecutive days.Due to the warmer weather, the snowflakes on Beilong Yixing have not fallen, germs are invading people in the air, and coughing sounds are everywhere in the city hall compound.Zhao Zhentao also caught a cold, so he presided over the debt settlement meeting.The difficulty of the problem was beyond Zhao Zhentao's expectation. The salinization salt field was almost dragged to death by the Beilong alkali factory.Jinshan Cement Factory was also held back by the alkali factory. Fortunately, the director of Jinshan Cement Factory Xu said that the 7 million yuan will not affect their production.And Weiyuan Chemical Factory dragged down the caustic soda factory to death.This seems to be a devil's chain, binding the wings of Beilong soaring. On the afternoon of the third day of the meeting, several parties still accused me and blamed you, and they refused to give in, almost cornering Zhao Zhentao.It seems that it is impossible not to be cruel. After much deliberation, Zhao Zhentao decided to start with the Weiyuan Chemical Factory at the root.He said to Feng Heping, the director of the factory: "The problem of triangular debt is not a problem of our Beilong family, but a nationwide one. But we can't always complain about the general climate. Let's talk about our Beilong's microclimate today! I, Zhao Zhentao, will be overbearing. , let’s not talk about democracy. Director Feng must have a lot of difficulties, but I won’t let you talk about it. Within ten days, you have to pay off the 10 million yuan of the soda factory, and the remaining 7 million yuan, and you can talk about it later. Is there a problem?" Feng Heping said tremblingly: "Mayor Zhao, you don't know how much money the South owes us to Salt and Chemical!" Zhao Zhentao waved his hand and said, "Didn't I just say that? Please don't talk about difficulties." Feng Heping continued: "If Mayor Zhao agrees with Director Jiang of the Environmental Protection Bureau, let us slow down the installation of environmental protection equipment-this set of environmental protection equipment imported from Italy costs 1.04 million US dollars, and the money can be paid back first. The debt of the soda plant!" Zhao Zhentao said angrily: "Is this an excuse? I ordered you to pollute the sea? Is that so?" Feng Heping said: "We are in the primary stage of socialism, and many things can only be done slowly!" Zhao Zhentao said: "I'll ask you again, let's say something sweet, regardless of other factors! Do you want to pay back or not?" Feng Heping stammered a bit: "I can't pay it back!" Zhao Zhentao said: "Then you can fight tomorrow, it's nothing to discuss!" Seeing Zhao Zhentao's seriousness, Yuan, the director of the soda plant, said: "Mayor Zhao, I know your difficulties. If you are not in charge of the family, you don't know how much money you spend. Although we have great difficulties, we are still willing to share the city's worries. Give me a week I will first repay the five million yuan to the saltworks and the two million yuan to the Jinshan Cement Factory! As for the difficulties, we will overcome them by ourselves!" Zhao Zhentao said: "Okay, let's see what you do! Since Director Yuan said this, Director Tong of the saltworks, you should return the car to Director Yuan first." After the meeting, Zhao Zhentao asked Gao Huasheng, the deputy mayor in charge of industry, and learned that Feng Heping, who had been dismissed by him, was a good factory director.Five years ago, Weihua had always been a troubled enterprise in Beibei. After Feng Heping left, it really improved a lot and turned losses into profits. Moreover, he was the director of the factory that Gao Huanzhang admired.Later, when Gao Huanzhang saw Zhao Zhentao, he still said the same thing.Zhao Zhentao saw that Gao Huanzhang could hardly be persuaded, so he changed the subject and said, "Old Gao, I was a little arbitrary in this matter, but at that time, if one or two of him were not withdrawn, it would not be able to be suppressed. The issue of triangular debts can only be dealt with." Forever procrastinating." Gao Huanzhang said, "Did you remove Director Feng and solve the problem?" Zhao Zhentao said: "Old Gao, if you are really in charge, Director Yuan is scared. With this start, I don't have to worry about the next step! It's really like you said that Feng Heping is a good factory manager. Since we can remove him , can reuse him again!" Gao Huanzhang said, "Isn't this taking off your pants and farting? I think your brother is crazy!" Zhao Zhentao said: "I will not change my mistakes. Let's discuss the matter of Beilonggang and Beigang Railway! Lao Gao, since Governor Fu has given us a policy, we should hold on to it. This time to clean up the triangular debt, What touched me the most was the transportation problem. These large enterprises, especially those in the salinization area, are not capable of producing enough, but because their products cannot be shipped out, such as salt, alkali, cement, and even chemical products. Our sea It’s a Dead Sea. With the completion of Beilong Port, we can apply to the State Council to change Salinization into a county-level city and Laoxie Bay into a coastal industrial city!” Gao Huanzhang smiled: "That's a great idea! Let's do it!" The minds of the two Beilong decision-makers always collided harmoniously, and even if there was a conflict, it would be solved with a few words of scolding.This was what Zhao Zhentao was most satisfied with when he returned to Beilong. On the seventeenth day of the twelfth lunar month in 1991 AD, the wind was cold and the snow was fluttering.Beilong people will always remember this day. On the land of 35,000 square kilometers in Beilong, there are two magnificent projects on the north and south lines. The Beigang Railway supporting Beilonggang broke ground.No one can believe that these two projects were launched in the dilemma of "three noes": no project approval certificate, no start-up permit, and no funds.Everyone agreed that these two projects should be launched, but no one gave legal procedures, which made Gao Huanzhang and Zhao Zhentao bear a great risk!Gao Huanzhang said to Zhao Zhentao: "Zhentao, all the procedures are being completed as you go. If you are responsible, take Gao Huanzhang's black hat!" Zhao Zhentao touched Gao Huanzhang's hand: "If you are right, you will get help, if you are wrong, you will not be able to help, the sky will never fall—" In the morning, because of stomachache, Gao Huanzhang didn't eat a mouthful of food, so he hurried to the office to wait for departure.For this, his eighty-three-year-old mother blamed her daughter-in-law Zhou Huimin.Zhou Huimin resisted the old lady's nagging, so Xiaoqizi slammed the door and left. Old lady Gao wiped her tears alone.It has been sixteen years since the old man was blinded by the earthquake. Gao Huanzhang got into the car after taking the medicine in the office.According to the decision of the Standing Committee, after the opening ceremony of the northern line at 10:00 in the morning, they will return immediately and go directly to Beilonggang to participate in the storm surge defense engineering ceremony in the afternoon.According to the division of labor, Gao Huanzhang and Zhao Zhentao will respectively focus on two projects, Gaobei and Zhaonan.Although the project to defend against the storm surge in the south is not large, it is a project with extremely strict quality requirements, otherwise, the storm surge will knead it like kneading dough.For this reason, Zhao Zhentao decided to contract the main project to the National Engineering Fourth Bureau, which originally built the port, and urged Xiong Dajin to strictly supervise and check.His move was firmly opposed by Gao Huanzhang.Gao Huanzhang contracted the Beigang railway project he was in charge of to the four counties along the line, just like the construction of the cross-sea bridge back then.Gao Huanzhang's move was also strongly opposed by Zhao Zhentao.Gao Huanzhang has Gao Huanzhang's reasoning. He closely linked construction and poverty alleviation. Zhao Zhentao also got into Gao Huanzhang's car, he wanted to have a good talk with him.Gao Huanzhang was very tired. He rubbed his temples with his big veined hands and said, "Zhentao, I want to get Feng Heping, who you removed, to be the deputy commander-in-chief on the northern line. My secretary always squats on the construction site." Go ahead, I'm afraid I'll miss other things!" Zhao Zhentao said: "If you make it easy, I agree." Gao Huanzhang said: "I heard that you conducted a pilot project of democratically electing factory directors in Weiyuan Chemical Factory? How did it work?" Zhao Zhentao nodded and said: "The effect is good, and it can be gradually promoted in the future. In addition, what I want to say is that our project, your northern line, cannot be contracted to the counties. This is a railway, not digging rivers, and not doing basic farmland construction! Do you understand?" Gao Huanzhang stared and said: "Look, look, it's coming again! Didn't I tell you? I won't let you contract the storm surge prevention project to other places. Did you hear me? It's a My Gao Huanzhang’s principle for many years! But I am a tiger eating mosquitoes, so I open my mouth for nothing! Since you don’t listen to me, then don’t interfere with me. The port will be launched in the next spring, and the port will be open to navigation the next year. I will give you a complete one. The railway is here!" Zhao Zhentao shook his head and smiled wryly: "Old Gao, you are so stubborn. You are a typical local protectionism, and the small peasant consciousness is making trouble! Have you forgotten the lessons of Beilonggang and the cross-sea bridge in the early stage?" Gao Huanzhang said sternly: "You, you have forgotten your roots. Why do you speak the same tone as Hu Yong? Don't forget that it is the most common principle to be an official and benefit one party. I am used to living in high-rise buildings in the city. If you stay for a long time, you will be far away from the feelings of ordinary people. Let’s talk about the cross-sea bridge. It collapsed. It was a natural disaster. Can a standard engineering team be able to escape the disaster? What comforts me, Gao Huanzhang, is that for the country More than 10 million yuan was saved. With this money, how much can we do for the people? If you go to the mountains in these four impoverished counties, some elementary schools can’t even afford a box of chalk. Whenever I Seeing this scene, I feel so uncomfortable! If the railway project is done by the county, it can earn some money and make their life better. Let outsiders earn the money, and let the people of Beilong beg for food with golden bowls Where's the conscience?" His face was flushed, and he couldn't continue. The air in the car seemed to freeze, colder than outside the window. The car drove slowly on the frozen and snowy mountain road. The snow covered the mountains, and the snow flakes were blown up and spun in front of their eyes.The small granular snow particles condensed by the snowflakes violently smashed against the glass window, making chaotic crackling noises.Seeing that Zhao Zhentao remained silent for a long time, Gao Huanzhang thought he was persuaded by him, so he lit a cigarette, frowned, sighed out a puff of smoke and said, "Zhentao, I said it was serious just now, you are different from Hu Yong. You How could it be the same as him? Hu Yong is the son of a cadre in the city, a playboy. Although your biological father was an intellectual, you grew up in a poor family, and you know the suffering of the common people best!" Zhao Zhentao said, "This is a different matter." Gao Huanzhang said: "Feelings and methods are the same thing!" Since arriving in Beilong, Zhao Zhentao has seen Gao Huanzhang lose his temper countless times, but he has never been so emotional as today. His ordinary feelings for the people of Beilong are so real and pure that there is no false element.Higher-level leaders often appreciate such true-quality cadres, but it is these cadres whose emotions are greater than reason, who violate the rules and are punished contrary to their wishes. Since the Great Leap Forward in 1958, we have suffered a lot.The conflict between former mayor Hu Yong and Gao Huanzhang may be here.When he first arrived, he heard from Deputy Mayor Gao Huasheng that illegal mining in Qiaobei District was very serious. The superior ordered Beilong to clean up the small coal mines. Zhao Zhentao turned around suddenly, his eyes met Gao Huanzhang's: "Old Gao, I admire your affection for the people of Beilong from the bottom of my heart, and it is indeed worth learning from our young cadres. But doing things based on emotion alone will make mistakes. We are a market economy right now, and when facing opportunities and challenges, we must use a scientific perspective to deal with problems. The market and science are ruthless! Immediate interests and long-term interests, local interests and overall interests are always testing us, which concerns the entire North The overall situation of the dragon is going to—" Gao Huanzhang stared fiercely at Zhao Zhentao, and said in a trembling voice: "Zhao Zhentao, don't think that I, Gao Huanzhang, will not be arrogant at this age! After hearing what you said today, I insist on breaking up with you. Crap! We are running a socialist market economy, but the market economy is for everyone to have food and to let the common people live a good life, not to destroy the livelihood of the common people! Anyone can talk about the truth, but I am chilled to hear you speak in an official tone! As parents, we are like the heads of a family. When a child is too tired, he feels distressed, so he has to find ways to help and drag it on. I’m talking about people , we open our mouths and shut our mouths ruthlessly, which will make the people feel cold! You understand the market and science, but do you know how many people are below the poverty line in Beilong? Say what you say—” The place was very quiet, except for Gao Huanzhang's heavy breathing. Zhao Zhentao blinked his eyes in a daze, and smiled with difficulty: "Okay, Lao Gao, let's stop arguing, and we will communicate later. Seeing that we are approaching the border of the Ming Kingdom, those who don't know the inside story think that our team is not united! dont you agree?" Gao Huanzhang looked at the snow falling harder and harder outside the window, and sighed: "Zhentao, you and I, Gao Huanzhang, have been friends for many years. Do you know my life experience? Do you know what my father does? You know that my father is with me. Is it where you want to be?" Zhao Zhentao shook his head, waiting for him to continue.Gao Huanzhang turned his head out of the window and raised his finger: "Have you seen the camel mountain on the left? How does it look like a camel? In the 1940s, my father Gao Changfeng fought guerrillas here. The common people called him Gao Commander. My mother said that one winter, my father's team fought fiercely with the Japanese devils in a place called Liulikan. The bullets ran out, and they chopped off the devil's head with a machete. It was called a river of blood! My father was injured , Clutching his protruding intestines and crawling to Luotuo Village, the common people took care of my father. The devil found the village and beheaded three common people, but none of them reported. After liberation, my father became the secretary of the county party committee of the Ming Dynasty. He He was tortured to death during the Siqing period. Before he died, he said to me: Huanzhang, your father is incompetent, and he failed to make the people here rich until he died. If you grow up with someone with power, don’t Forget the folks here. When your father and I led the masses to fight against the landlords, we went to mobilize the masses, saying that the Communist Party serves the people. Later, some people asked me, if this is the case, why do some Communist Party cadres Eat better and dress better than the masses? My dad was taken aback for a while. My dad said: If you become an official, you can’t eat better and dress better than the masses. Remember? If you betray, dad will be under the nine springs I will smack your mouth too! I knelt down and swore to my father, when I raised my head, my father died!" His voice suddenly choked up, and his face was full of tears. Zhao Zhentao didn't dare to look at Gao Huanzhang's teary face, he was most afraid of a man crying. Gao Huanzhang couldn't continue talking, and turned his head to look at Luotuofeng for a long time. The car was bumping on the mountain road, Zhao Zhentao didn't speak any more.Looking through the car window, there is a black cliff just one car away.Suspended in his heart, he retracted his head and closed his eyes.He used to hear the old people tell the story of the anti-Japanese hero Gao Siling from Luotuofeng, but he never thought that Gao Siling was Gao Huanzhang's father, and he didn't expect Lao Gao to have such a heavy thing in his heart.At this moment, he understood Lao Gao, but he understood, but he was still unwilling to persuade Gao Huanzhang. The car in front of the secretary stopped suddenly, causing their car to jerk violently, bumping crookedly against the rocks in the mountain road, almost plunging into the cliff.Both Zhao Zhentao and Gao Huanzhang got out of the car in a cold sweat. Gao Huanzhang asked angrily, "What's going on?" Gao Huanzhang's secretary, Xiao Lu, walked over in a panic and said, "Secretary Gao, a transport truck of Jinshan Cement Factory fell into the mountain stream ahead. It is said that it fell last night. The driver died and his body was taken away by the factory. Yes, some gravel was blocked on the road when the corpse was transported." Gao Huanzhang and Zhao Zhentao walked a few steps and looked down the mountain with their heads.A Dongfeng truck was smashed to pieces, cement grayer than the snow floated to the branches, and the dazzling snow shadow almost covered the car. While the secretary and the drivers were clearing the road, Gao Huanzhang sighed heavily and said, "Beigang Railway can't be built without it!" Zhao Zhentao felt cold on his face, raised his head, and found that the snow was falling harder and harder. 3 The new year is coming in a blink of an eye, and this is probably the saddest year in Zhao Zhentao's life.Chinese New Year is a time for people to reunite with their families. Zhao Zhentao believes that Chinese New Year is a time for people to rest and replenish their capital for the coming year after experiencing the fatigue of hard work.But he did not have this capital, and the funds for the coming year were all advanced by the construction site.On the day of the twelfth lunar month, he hurriedly sent away his wife Meng Yao who was studying in Australia.Meng Yao is very particular about ostentation, she asked to notify all relatives and friends.Zhao Zhentao quarreled with her because of this, but he still complied with the aunt's request.A whole convoy was sent to the Capital Airport, and he accompanied it to Hong Kong.When I returned to Beilong, the construction site was in an emergency. According to the arrangement when the construction started, the work could not be stopped during the Spring Festival, but without the funds for feeding materials, I had to stop without stopping. Zhao Zhentao spent almost all the funds of the Jinshan Cement Factory, and after making up some financial funds, the urgent need was relieved, but these funds could only last until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhao Zhentao spent time at the artificial tidal discharge shallow river construction site in Beilonggang. Xiong Dajin solemnly told him that he had to stop working.When he was working on the spot, Gao Huanzhang called and said that the Beigang Railway project was really unable to turn around. He mobilized the people in Mingguo County to volunteer voluntarily, and the people in the mountains donated broken stones for free, so that the railway could be extended. go.Gao Huanzhang's words made Zhao Zhentao ashamed. He understood what Lao Gao meant when he told him: if the project was contracted to Salt Chemical, the situation would be very different. Zhao Zhentao hurried back to Beilong City and held a bank coordination meeting.The governors shook their heads and sighed. The higher authorities have not let go of the situation of monetary tightening.To a certain extent, the president of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Guan Guan, suggested that the presidents donate money for the Beilonggang project. Zhao Zhentao's face was livid, sitting on the sofa like a clay sculpture and wood carving, with tears in his eyes, which made his eye sockets feel urgent and swollen.He waved his hands weakly and said, "You can go!" The presidents were stunned.Zhao Zhentao waved his hand again: "You can go!" All the presidents focused on him, and Zhao Zhentao shouted loudly: "You can go!" The presidents finally dispersed helplessly. Gao Huanzhang summoned Secretary Chai Defa and Qi Shaowu from Saltification, and they came together to force Zhao Zhentao to submit. They wanted to take over the artificial tidal discharge shallow river project and the dam construction project.Zhao Zhentao didn't respond to Ren Gao Huanzhang's words about getting on the train. He just agreed to hand over the tree planting on Wuti Island to Yanhua. Gao Huanzhang was so angry that he called him dogmatic and conservative.Zhao Zhentao's defense almost collapsed. Zhao Zhentao stood on the embankment of Laoxie Bay, his body was empty as if his internal organs had been dragged away by a wolf.After standing for a long time, he suddenly felt the breath of spring. The spring breeze melted the ice and snow in Old Crab Bay, and then re-frozen the snow water into ice.Let this ice melt again in the spring and seep into this special land! 1992年的春天，值得中国人永远记住的日子，世界的目光在中国凝眸聚焦。邓小平同志的南巡讲话，在神州大地刮起了一阵改革开放的旋风。 一直把改革开放当作主要动力的省委潘书记，也再次来到北龙考察，每到一地谈的都是经济，处处都留下了他新鲜的思考。北龙市委市政府也召开了学习动员大会，赵振涛和高焕章心潮澎湃，一连多少天胸中都奔涌着热浪。仅仅两个月之隔，银行财神爷的脸上就判若两人，赵振涛在新的银行协调会上，一次就筹备了上亿元的资金。他还拆东墙补西墙，跑部进厅找资金。他拽上高焕章到了北京，找到交通部退休的老副部长马天水，搭桥引线，从那里争取了六千万元的长期贷款，使得北龙港建设走出困境。北龙港凤凰开发区正式启动了：停下一年的北龙港工程全面恢复，北龙三万五千平方公里的土地上刮起了开发的风暴潮。
