Chapter 27 Chapter Twenty Seven

Before Bai Xue could make a move, Dongfang Changqing received a call from Zhou Yiquan, saying: "Brother Dongfang, my father is at home on vacation recently. You can come over to our house about what we talked about last time." Dongfang Changqing listened , I was both happy and a little confused. I was happy that I finally connected with Vice Governor Zhou again.What is confusing is that last time he talked with Zhou Yiquan about two things, one was about engineering, and the other was Zhou Yiquan persuading him to apply for Zhou Chunqing's graduate student, so I don't know which one Zhou Yiquan was talking about this time.Dongfang Changqing still made some preparations, and also brought a paper he wrote before, "Research on the Economic Structure of the Mid-Qing Dynasty", and drove directly to Zhou Chunqing's house without calling Bai Xue.When they arrived at the door of Zhou Chunqing's house, Dongfang Changqing called Zhou Yiquan directly and said, "Brother Yiquan, I'm already here, please open the door." Zhou Yiquan laughed and said, "Brother Dongfang came quite quickly."

After a while, the little nanny opened the door, and when Dongfang Changqing entered, the little nanny smiled and said, "Director Dongfang, Grandpa Zhou is waiting for you in the study." Dongfang Changqing thanked him, and Zhou Yiquan greeted him with a smile , Said: "Brother Dongfang, I am welcome from afar." Dongfang Changqing also joked because he was more familiar with it, saying: "Brother Yiquan knows that there is a farewell welcome, why don't you go directly to the Municipal Cultural Bureau to meet me? "Zhou Yiquan laughed loudly, and said: "I will definitely meet you next time." The two entered the room talking and laughing. Go defeat him." Dongfang Changqing smiled and said in a low voice, "You father and son are really interesting." Zhou Yiquan made a face and said, "I'm unworthy, and I'm afraid to go in and ask for scolding. This time I'll give you clues, or take the lead Luckily, the old man managed to get a vacation and was happy, so he agreed."

At present, the nanny brought Dongfang Changqing into the study, and Dongfang Changqing read from the body language of Zhou Yiquan and the little nanny that there must be some kind of relationship between this pair of men and women. The nanny will inevitably be touched by this playboy.Thinking of this, Dongfang Changqing even felt sorry for the little nanny. The little nanny was very beautiful, and she had the innocence and childishness of a rural girl in her expression. Her eyes were full of love when she looked at Zhou Yiquan. This kind of love, It is a love that is spotless, the kind of love that is so pure that there is no impurity in it.It's just that Mr. Zhou, who does everything from eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling, may not cherish this kind of love. The girl's tragedy was doomed from the beginning of the matter.

Although it was daytime, the lights in Zhou Chunqing's study were still on.Dongfang Changqing stood at the door of the study, waiting for the little nanny to come in and report.After a while, the little nanny came out, smiled at Dongfang Changqing and said in a low voice: "Director Dongfang, Grandpa Zhou invites you in." Dongfang Changqing nodded to the babysitter and walked in.Zhou Chunqing was looking down at a book, as if he didn't hear anyone coming in.Dongfang Changqing bowed with a smile and said, "Governor Zhou is good!" Zhou Chunqing raised his head, took off his presbyopic glasses, and said, "It's Director Dongfang, please sit down, and I'll tell you that you're coming."

Dongfang Changqing sat down and said: "I listened to your teaching last time, and I missed you very much after I went back. I always want to see you and listen to your teaching again. I have contacted Secretary He several times and know that you are too busy with business, so I also Don't dare to disturb your work too much." Zhou Chunqing smiled kindly, and said: "People are in the Jianghu, they can't help themselves. When an official reaches the vice-provincial and ministerial level, he is no longer free. It's better to be a smaller official. Isn't there a research report? It is said that the most comfortable people in China are at the department level and department level, where they have positions and rights, but they are still free. When they reach the ministerial level, they are no longer completely free people, and they are not free to go out to do some private affairs.”

Dongfang Changqing smiled and said: "You are a senior leader, and you should be protected everywhere in your actions. From the perspective of the security department, it is their responsibility to protect the safety of the leader, but from the perspective of the leader, it is a personal responsibility." freedom is restricted." Zhou Chunqing smiled kindly, and said: "Your analysis is right. This time, the organization gave me a few days off to read books at home. I haven't thanked you yet. I want to read these books, but I don't want to. Sorry to trouble someone else to find it.”

The topic turned to reading, and the conversation became more natural.Dongfang Changqing said with admiration: "Governor, you have a lot of time to spare, and you can spare time to read books. Except for some of the books I have read, there are many titles that I have never even heard of." "This is my old line of work. People are weird. I always have a feeling of nostalgia for this line of work. Besides, as a leading cadre, I still need to learn more. Chairman Mao said that he must live to learn. When you are old, reading history can make your ambition clear. It seems that you have read some of these books?" Zhou Chunqing asked in surprise.

"Yes, I have read some, but they are all very rough." Dongfang Changqing replied. "You are not a scholar, so there is no need to read so carefully. As an official, the so-called reading does not seek deep understanding, half of which governs the world. Finding chapters and excerpts, that is the style of old pedantry." Zhou Chunqing said with a smile, appreciating Looking at Dongfang Changqing carefully. Dongfang Changqing was encouraged and said with a smile: "I focus on studying the history of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and I pay special attention to the economic system of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. I just feel that there are too few studies in this area, and sometimes I can't find any papers on the Internet. , and there is no one to guide, it takes a lot of trouble to learn."

Zhou Chunqing sighed, and said appreciatively: "Practice what you have learned, this is advocated by modern scholars in our country. We are currently in a critical period of economic construction. You should focus on the research on the economic system and structure of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In fact, we chose the right path. When we carry out reform and opening up, we must absorb advanced management experience from abroad, but we must not separate history. History is our past national conditions.” Dongfang Changqing hurriedly took out his paper "Research on the Economic Structure of the Mid-Qing Dynasty" and handed it to Zhou Chunqing with both hands, saying: "This is my little experience in the process of studying history. I don't know if it is valuable. Time for guidance."

Zhou Chunqing took the manuscript with a smile, flipped through it, and said: "Very good, you can read and write some articles in your spare time, which is very good. The current cadres, the study atmosphere is not as good as before, playing mahjong , There is time for drinking and singing, but no time for studying, it’s really worrying. Put this manuscript with me first, and I’ll discuss it with you after I read it.” Dongfang Changqing quickly thanked and said, "It's my honor that you can personally give me advice." Zhou Chunqing laughed and said: "You can't study without friends. The so-called learning without friends means that you are ignorant. I am also happy to have you as a little friend."

Seeing that the time is right, Dongfang Evergreen said sincerely: "Governor Zhou, I have an idea, but I dare not say it." Zhou Chunqing looked at him with great interest, and asked: "What are you talking about, but it's okay to say." Dongfang Changqing smiled and said: "When I was young, because my family was poor, I was supposed to take the postgraduate entrance examination after graduating from university, but my father was ill. It’s not good and I had to quit halfway, which is still a pity.” Zhou Chunqing said: "It's not too late now. Now the party school has all kinds of correspondence classes. It's very convenient for both study and work." Dongfang Changqing said: "It's not that I haven't thought about it. I also studied in a correspondence school for one semester. Later, I felt that it was just a mixed diploma, not really learning. I still want to study steadily for a few years." Zhou Chunqing smiled and said: "What you said is true. These correspondence classes are overrun. Anyone who pays will be awarded a diploma. Graduate students are flying all over the sky, but there are really not many people with real talents and learning. It's no wonder that the country advocates The intellectualization of leading cadres, if it is difficult to be truly educated at once, they are first educated on the surface, and various correspondence classes have sprung up. Among the current leading cadres, many of them carry postgraduate diplomas, which are all formalism. " Dongfang Changqing said: "So I'm not interested in these things. I heard that you are a professor at the university, and the university also hires you as a doctoral supervisor. This time, I want you to accept me as a student. But I'm afraid of causing controversy. , affecting your order." Zhou Chunqing laughed loudly and said, "Afraid of affecting my order, I think you are afraid that others will say that you are suspected of clinging?" Dongfang Changqing smiled shyly and said, "I really can't hide my worries from you, old man. Changqing also has this doubt, but he really wants to take your postgraduate entrance examination. I admire your knowledge and character very much." , if I pass this village, I am afraid that there will be no such shop, so I dare to ask you, but I am dull by nature, and I am not a talent for further study, so I don't know if you will accept me." Zhou Chunqing stared at Dongfang Changqing for a moment, then smiled, and said, "How did you find out about this news?" Dongfang Changqing became embarrassed and didn't know how to answer for a while.Fortunately, Zhou Chunqing did not continue to ask, but said with a smile: "The school hired me as a part-time Ph. Two times, but not one recruited, I am Ning Que Tie Lan." "True talents are hard to come by. For example, the old man Huangshi met Han Xin, and Yang Changji met Mao Zedong. How could he seek them on purpose?" Dongfang Evergreen replied with a smile. Zhou Chunqing nodded approvingly, looked at Dongfang Changqing with piercing eyes, and said suddenly: "If you become my doctoral student, I'm afraid I will miss your future in order to avoid suspicion." Dongfang Changqing was overjoyed, judging from Zhou Chunqing's tone, he had already agreed to accept him.At the moment, I sincerely said: "I want to apply for your graduate degree. It is not utilitarian. I have visited famous teachers all over the world, and I am eager to learn and be rich. If I can be admitted to your graduate degree, I will follow the principle of absolute confidentiality. I just ask you Academically, I dare not ask you for asylum in my official career. Of course, I am far from being indifferent to the advancement and retreat of my official career. I am just willing to seek organizational recognition based on my ability and achievements. Work hard, get a little promotion in the official career, and it is not in vain for parents to give birth, teachers to teach, and organization to cultivate." Zhou Chunqing laughed out loud when he heard this, and said, "Little friend Dongfang, you are a man of Tancheng. Since you have this ambition, and you are not afraid of studying hard in the cold window after work, you can go to sign up, and everything will follow the normal procedure." Do it, if you pass the exam, I can take you with you." Dongfang Changqing stood up, bowed and thanked, and said: "It is worthwhile for Changqing to be able to worship you as a teacher." The two chatted for a while about the history of Ming and Qing Dynasties, especially about Yuan Chonghuan. Dongfang Changqing believed that Yuan Chonghuan's tragedy was actually related to his character. Several victories that actually did not have much effect on turning the tide of the war, but killed Mao Wenlong on trumped-up charges; contacted Hou Jin to negotiate a peace, and did not obtain authorization from the authorities. These were the reasons why he was later killed.Although Yuan Chonghuan was sensitive in his affairs, he didn't know people well. Emperor Chongzhen regarded himself as a wise and diligent master, so he was extremely autocratic. How could he allow his subordinates to make their own decisions?Coupled with the critical situation, people who look around are suspicious of treacherous ministers. Sun Chengzong, Xiong Tingbi and others cannot be trusted, let alone a disobedient Yuan Chonghuan.Not to mention Yuan Wuli's return to heaven, even if Yuan has the ability to be like Zeng Zuo and his ilk in ZTE in the late Qing Dynasty, it is inevitable that he will die like a rabbit. Zhou Chunqing listened, clapped his hands and smiled, and said: "Changqing's point of view is also the opinion of the family. Character determines destiny. This sentence is indeed quite true. After all, China has been a slave society and a feudal society for a long time. In this country, the remnants of autocracy are very heavy, let me say too much, the Chinese cannot survive without slavishness, but how many people understand this truth?" Without slavishness, it is impossible to survive. Dongfang Changqing was shocked for a while. These words came from the mouth of a dignified deputy governor, and they really had a deafening effect.However, both of them knew that these words should not be discussed further, so they both consciously or unconsciously changed the subject. After chatting for a while, Mrs. Zhou came in, and Dongfang Changqing quickly stood up and called auntie.Mrs. Zhou said with a smile: "It's Director Dongfang. Yiquan said you were coming this morning. I just went out to do something." Then she smiled at Zhou Chunqing and said: "Old man, lunch is ready, let's chat after eating." .” Zhou Chunqing smiled and said: "Comrade Changqing is going to take my postgraduate entrance examination, we are having a good time talking." Then he waved to Dongfang Changqing: "Let's go to eat." Lunch was still very simple with four dishes and one soup. The babysitter first poured a small glass of wine for Zhou Chunqing, Dongfang Changqing and Zhou Yiquan, and then packed the meal.After the meal was packed, it was also served on the table.Dongfang Changqing thought in his heart, it seems that Zhou Chunqing's family is still relatively democratic, and now some upstart civilians hire nannies, but they are not allowed to eat with the host at the table.When Zhou Chunqing saw the wine, he couldn't help smiling, and said to Dongfang Changqing humorously: "Comrade Changqing, you can come more in the future, and I can break the abstinence as soon as you come." Mrs. Zhou also laughed and said: "I'm not worried Your body." Different from the last time, this time Zhou Yiquan also sat beside Dongfang Changqing, and said with a smile: "My dad likes a glass of wine in addition to being good at studying, and he is also under the control of my mother." Zhou Chunqing glanced at him, Zhou Yiquan quickly She kept silent, and quietly made faces at Dongfang Changqing. Because of driving, Dongfang Changqing only drank two cups, so he stopped drinking.When he was leaving, Zhou Chunqing unexpectedly sent him out of the living room door. Dongfang Changqing excitedly held Zhou Chunqing's hand and said, "Governor Zhou, please rest. I have been bothering you for a long time." Zhou Chunqing smiled kindly and said, "Okay, okay." Just as Dongfang Changqing was about to leave, Zhou Xianqing suddenly said slowly, seemingly unintentionally: "Comrade Changqing, let's play more in the future, because you are young, you I will help him more in the future.” Dongfang Changqing smiled and replied: "Yiquan and we are already friends, right Yiquan?" Zhou Yiquan laughed and said: "Director Dongfang is taking care of me, don't worry, Dad." Zhou Chunqing smiled kindly, and said: "That's good. When you can mature like Dongfang, I'll be relieved." He also said: "Comrade Changqing, you should hurry up and implement the project of the Southern Grand Theater. When time permits, I'll take a look." Dongfang Changqing quickly said: "We will implement it as soon as possible, please rest assured. We look forward to your inspection and guidance." Coming out of Zhou Chunqing's house, Dongfang Changqing already had a clear idea. Zhou Yiquan's idea of ​​contracting the Southern Grand Theater was not groundless. Zhou Yiquan did have Zhou Chunqing's support.Although Zhou Chunqing's words were ambiguous, Dongfang Changqing still felt that the art of leadership was to do what he wanted to do without any trace.
