The official way of rebirth

Under the dim light of the golden lamp, Tang Yi lay on his desk writing quickly. This was the dormitory assigned to him by the town government. The layout was a bit crude. The only electrical appliance was the 14-inch color TV on the TV cabinet. In the early 1990s, color TVs

It has also slowly entered the northern rural areas, but it is still a luxury product for a few people, and most rural families are still stuck in the black-and-white TV stage.

Tang Yi is writing "The Gains and Losses of the Economic Reform of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics" and is preparing to put it into use in a few months. This is the top priority of his preparations, and he must rack his brains to write a good article.

"Ring ring ring", the phone on the bedside table suddenly rang. Originally, the town leader's dormitory did not have a phone, so Tang Yi paid for it to be installed.

Tang Yi put down the pen, rubbed his slightly sore arm, walked to the bed and answered the phone. A gentle female voice came from the phone: "Xiaoyi?"

"Mom?" Tang Yi suddenly felt excited. The word "Mom" came out of his mouth so naturally. Even he himself was a little surprised, as if his feelings for women had suddenly changed from the particularly respectful grandma in the past to the cordial one now.

Mother, maybe she has really merged with her adoptive father's body?

"Xiao Yi, it's me, are you okay? How is it? Is the work hard?" The woman's voice was a little excited. She was Xiao Jinhua, the mother of Tang Yi's adoptive father. Tang Yi's adoptive father's father died in the Vietnam War, and his son was killed by the old man.

After being raised by his parents, Xiao Jinhua got bored and got a green card from the United States and opened a small business in the United States.

However, in another time and space, after Tang Yi's adoptive father left the family, she ended the business of the small company in the United States and rushed back to China to live with Tang Yi's family and teach her son that he was a

The growth of a woman who can afford and let go is inseparable from her influence.

Listening to her soft words, Tang Yi's throat felt a little bitter and his eyes were hot, but he still managed to control his emotions and tried his best to keep his voice from trembling: "Mom, I'm fine, how about you?"

"I'm living a good life too. The living conditions here are much better than at home! You don't have to worry about me."

"Xiaoyi, the old man called me and said that you have performed very well recently!" Xiao Jinhua's voice revealed a hint of pride. Although the old man was a little dissatisfied with her running to the United States to open a company, Xiao Jinhua seemed to not care about the old man.

Yes, but in the hearts of the Tang family, who wouldn’t be proud to receive a few words of praise from the old man?

Tang Yi was startled for a moment, and then he realized that the old man was indifferent to him on the surface, but his every move could not escape his eyes. It seems that he was quite satisfied with his performance in the Li Wenhe case.

For the first time, I called my mother.

Xiao Jinhua laughed again on the phone: "Xiao Yi, you have to work hard. Whether I can be proud of myself in the Tang family depends on you!" Although the tone was joking, it felt a bit like mother is more precious than son. Tang Yi knew that,

She actually still cares about her status in the Tang family.

"Mom, how's your business going?"

"Well, a small company can't make much money, and the consumption here is high, so what? Do you expect my mother to make a lot of money for you to support you in retirement?" Xiao Jinhua smiled sweetly, but Tang Yi knew that she was very good at business.

If you have your own set of rules, your business should be doing well.

"Mom, are you a trader?" Tang Yi looked at the calendar on the wall, and suddenly his heart moved.

"Hey, since when did you care about my company? Do you still dislike politics and want to go to the sea to accompany me? Tell you, don't mention your useless ideas to me again!" Xiao Jinhua said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

, in fact, it also alerted Tang Yi.

"No." Tang Yi looked at the calendar, thought about it for a long time, and finally made up his mind and asked: "Let me ask you something, what do you think of the situation in Iraq?"

"Oh, I said, dear son, I didn't make this overseas phone call to discuss the political situation with you. Silly son, do you know how much one minute costs?" Xiao Jinhua giggled. She has liked to tease this somewhat honest person since she was a child.

's son.

Tang Yi scratched his head helplessly, but still had to continue: "I don't want to tell you this, I mean I have analyzed it these days, and I think the Gulf War will definitely break out, and the United Nations troops will soon obtain

Victory won't even cost a few soldiers, so I don't know if my analysis will be of any use to your trade business."

Xiao Jinhua's giggles suddenly stopped, and after a while, her voice sounded again: "Are you serious?" The voice was solemn.

"I am serious, and I think that within a few months, the Soviet Union is likely to disintegrate." Tang Yi's words were shocking at the time. Even the most radical Western scholars did not foresee that the collapse of the Soviet Union was imminent.

As for the Iraq War, no one thought that Iraq, the hegemon of the Persian Gulf and the third military power at the time, was so vulnerable to the United States. Since the first Gulf War, the Republic has been greatly touched.

Accelerating the pace of strengthening the military through science and technology.

Xiao Jinhua was silent for a long time, then slowly said: "If your analysis is accurate, then the U.S. market and international trade will undergo earth-shaking changes, and the price of crude oil and gold will be severely impacted. But son, you

...Sigh..." She finally sighed, obviously feeling that Tang Yi's analysis was too far-fetched, and she felt vaguely in her heart that her son was really not a candidate for politics.

After Tang Yi finished speaking, he felt a little regretful, and hurriedly smiled to smooth things over: "Of course, these are all my random analyses. Don't take it seriously, let alone tell others!"

Xiao Jinhua laughed: "What? Are you afraid that others will laugh at you if you tell me? Don't worry, I won't tell others! But son, you have to have confidence. No matter whether others believe it or not, mom will believe you!"

Tang Yi felt warm in his heart, nodded slightly, chatted with her for a few more words, and then put down the phone.

…

In the large conference room of the county government, there were twenty or thirty people sitting quietly around a round table. An enlarged meeting of the Yanshan County Party Committee was being held. Members of the county party committee, secretaries of the party committees of each town, and mayors of the towns were present.

Tang Yi sat in the corner by the window, next to Liu Dazhong, who always had a gloomy face. Tang Yi looked at the red-headed central document "Eighth Five-Year Plan and Ten-Year Plan for Economic Structural Reform" in his hand, and listened to everyone's quarrels, feeling heavy in his heart.

of.

Before the meeting, County Magistrate Cheng Jianjun specifically talked to Tang Yi. At that time, he held the red-headed document issued by the central government with a happy face and told Tang Yi to carefully understand the spirit of this document. Tang Yi knew at that time that Cheng Jianjun

We should use this enlarged meeting to study the spirit of the Central Committee to attack Xiao Ri and weaken the influence of conservative ideas.

Sure enough, the meeting was full of anger not long after it started. The Propaganda Minister first launched an attack, believing that the reform in Yanshan County had reached a state of stagnation and was obviously inconsistent with the spirit of the central government. This was inseparable from the mistakes in the work of the Party Committee. As for the Party Committee

It is naturally self-evident who will be responsible.

Cheng Jianjun was speaking now. He enumerated impassionedly the achievements of Yanshan County during the reform and opening up and the improvement of people's living standards. Finally, he slowly talked about the resistance encountered by the reform of Yanshan County. The more he spoke, the more excited he became, waving his arms and saying

: "Comrades! The General Secretary made an important speech when he just inspected Pudong, Shanghai.

Speech, the people of Shanghai must emancipate their minds, be bolder, and move faster! But looking back at Yanshan, not only did we fail to deepen the reform, but we have a tendency to gradually retreat. Comrades, I am very sad.

!As the county magistrate, I admit that I have made mistakes in my work, and I am here to review them!"

There was silence in the venue, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn. At this time, Xiao Ri, who was expressionless, slowly moved the microphone to his mouth, coughed lightly, and suddenly laughed: "What? Guawazi wants to rebel against me? Let me tell you.

Boy! I'm afraid of everything except being rebelled against!"

"Pfft" the tea in Tang Yi's mouth squirted all over the table. He never thought in his dreams that Xiao Ri would say such a thing. He was the secretary of the county party committee. He could only do it in private, but he actually spoke like this at an enlarged meeting of the county party committee...

To put it bluntly, this is truly shocking.

"Comrade Jianjun, what you said all makes sense, but I would like to ask you a question, how can you carry out the reform in depth and how can you ensure that the fundamental interests of the majority of the people will not be destroyed? How can you determine the route you will take?

Is it correct? How to ensure that our Yanshan County will not be peacefully evolved? Is it true that Eastern Europe

Were all the comrades not as smart as you, Cheng Jianjun, when they first carried out the reform?" Xiao Ri's loud voice was extremely loud. As soon as he spoke, the whispering county committee members stopped talking and sat upright one by one. It was obvious that he

His prestige is so high that many leaders can even describe him as fearful.

Cheng Jianjun was stunned by Xiao Ri's rhetorical question and looked around blankly. Those "comrades" who had sworn before the meeting were all sitting upright, but not one of them stood up to support him.

"Comrades, I am also very sad!" Xiao Ri waved his big hand, "I am sad that some people have opinions and do not follow normal channels, regardless of organizational principles, form cliques, and stir up trouble in meetings, lest the world not be in chaos.

!" Xiao Ri became more and more angry as he spoke, and suddenly slammed the table: "Damn it! If my soldiers had killed him earlier!" The teacups on the table jingled, and everyone in the venue was silent.

"Secretary Xiao, I want to say a few words." Just when Xiao Ri was getting angry, Tang Yi raised his hand. Xiao Ri ignored it and continued talking: "I very much agree with the spirit of the party's documents.

But how to carry out this reform, we must be cautious! Eastern Europe is a lesson for us!"

Tang Yi frowned, picked up the microphone close to him, and accidentally pointed the mouth of the microphone at the loudspeaker. The microphone emitted a long and sharp beep. Everyone in the venue looked at him in astonishment, and Xiao Ri was also a little surprised.

Tang Yi turned the microphone and the long beep disappeared. Without waiting for Xiao Ri to reprimand, Tang Yi had already said: "Secretary Xiao, I want to say a few words. What you just said is right. The organizational principles cannot be destroyed, but what are the organizational principles?

What is a healthy party life? If I remember correctly, the highest principle of party life is democratic centralism, not one-word speech! Since I am allowed to attend this meeting, I have the right to speak, and you cannot deprive me of it.

that power!"

Everyone looked at Tang Yi in amazement. No one would have thought that Tang Yi, the young town secretary, would bluntly contradict Xiao Ri. Even Cheng Jianjun, who just spoke in a roundabout way, did not dare to mention Xiao Ri's name directly.

Xiao Ri was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "What a boy! How dare you fire at me! Okay, you say it, and I'll listen to your sour theory." As he spoke, he slowly leaned back in his seat, as if he was all ears.

appearance.

Tang Yi ignored Xiao Ri's sarcasm and continued: "Secretary Xiao just mentioned the peaceful evolution of Eastern Europe. As far as I know, the cultural circle of Eastern Europe belongs to traditional Western culture, but the Soviet Union used force to impose socialism on it.

For them, unlike us, our history has always been the history of the family, the history of the small-scale peasant economy, and Western philosophy, which belong to two different categories. Therefore, if the West wants to use the Eastern European model to assimilate and corrupt us, it will definitely suffer.

A shameful failure!"

"Of course, I don't mean that our party can sleep peacefully and think that it will be worry-free forever. That is bookism, and it is the sour theory that you, Secretary, said."

Kind laughter rang out softly in the venue, diluting the solemn atmosphere a lot.

Tang Yi continued: "I also believe that opposing bourgeois liberalization and preventing peaceful evolution are the top priorities of our work, but this is not inconsistent with deepening reforms! It's like you and County Magistrate Cheng are in the same party,

As a government, if we are compared to a big family, one of you is the father and the other is the mother.

We are not conflicting and opposing parties. Only if you love each other can our big family thrive! If father and mother quarrel every day, can our big family live a good life? Of course, if you have any opinions, please raise them at the meeting and don't do it.

Yin Feng is right, fighting at the head of the bed and fighting at the end of the bed shows that our organizational life is still very healthy!"

There was another burst of laughter in the venue, Xiao Ri also smiled and nodded, took the microphone and interjected: "Then what is your position? Are you a fool in a big family?" Everyone laughed, and Cheng Jianjun's face was not cheerful.

few.

Tang Yi ignored him and continued: "I have read a lot of documents issued by the central government regarding deepening reforms and opposing bourgeois liberalization. None of the documents considered them to be contradictory. The General Secretary also said

, now we are crossing the river by feeling for stones, and we may go the wrong way, but we cannot stop walking just because we are afraid of going the wrong way, that is even worse."

Hearing that Tang Yi gradually turned to support Cheng Jianjun, Xiao Ri's face gradually became serious again, but Tang Yi continued: "However, the correct attitude is to avoid taking the wrong path and avoid detours. So how can we avoid taking the wrong path?"

, avoid taking detours? I think Secretary Xiao has done a good job in this regard and is very enthusiastic about any reform proposals.

It is to review repeatedly and treat it with caution. This is not to hinder reform. On the contrary, I think we must have this attitude when carrying out reform. Only when there are more people like Secretary Xiao who point out mistakes, we will make mistakes in all aspects when we carry out reform.

The best way to avoid detours is to keep it as low as possible and prevent minor mistakes!"

Everyone present nodded, feeling that Tang Yi's words made some sense. Cheng Jianjun took the opportunity to pick up the microphone: "Xiao Tang said it right. In addition to understanding the spirit of the central document, the topic of today's meeting is to summarize the experience and lessons of our Yanshan County reform.

, carry out criticism and self-criticism, and discuss how to carry out the reform in depth!" After he finished speaking, he took a long breath and finally settled the matter. If it weren't for Tang Yi's long speech, he still wouldn't know how it would end.

The following meeting was much more relaxed. They discussed the spirit of the central government's documents and deepened the reform. At the end of the meeting, these town secretaries shook hands with Tang Yi politely and then left. Everyone's expressions changed slightly when they looked at Tang Yi.

, they all feel that this young secretary has a lot of skills and is not just a thing in the pool. Of course,

There are also a few people who are a little disdainful, but they are just sour scholars. They talk about one theory and mix it up randomly. In actual work, they may be just a loser. But no matter how they think about it, their attitude towards Tang Yi is...

There has been a change. At that time, I no longer thought that he was just a stupid kid who was gilded at the bottom.

When Cheng Jianjun passed by Tang Yi, he patted Tang Yi heavily on the shoulder. The kind smile on his face was undoubtedly the greatest recognition of Tang Yi.

When Xiao Ri walked slowly to Tang Yi, he stopped slightly, nodded and said: "You're not a bad kid. I'd like to give you a word, don't be an official. If you please both sides, you won't be able to fall behind!"

Tang Yi smiled and said nothing. He had his own set of standards for conduct, but he was not preparing to be a panacea for officialdom as Xiao Ri thought.
