The official way of rebirth

Yanshan County, like all local governments, is overwhelmed by the various documents issued every day. Today is the "Five-Year Plan Revised Outline" issued by the municipal government office. The content is that reforms must be treated with caution.

Tomorrow is another issue of "Be More Courageous—Impressions from Studying the Chief's Speech" issued by the Provincial Propaganda Department. Everyone in the local area has doubts about what to do. They don't know how the central policy will be adjusted. What are the local factions?

Struggle has become insignificant in this ideological collision, and this ideological collision is actually a manifestation of the highest-level factional struggle.

However, in Yanshan, at least taking advantage of this storm, Xiao Ri wiped out his disadvantages. The necessity of repeated "cold water" in the general meeting and small meetings made Secretary Liu who originally supported Cheng Jianjun, but Secretary Zheng changed the subject and began to support Xiao Ri and Cheng Jianjun.

Started to behave with one's tail between legs.

So when Tang Yi took out his article "We must unswervingly deepen the reform" and handed it to Xiao Ri, you can imagine his stunned expression.

Xiao Ri just raised his thumb and praised: "My son, your political level is much higher than mine! Brother, I admire you!" Then he received Tang Yi's new article. When he saw the title, he was stunned and his face was full of emotions.

He said in astonishment: "My dear, what are you doing? You don't know how serious the situation is right now! If you post this kind of article now, you will get a bloody head!"

Tang Yi smiled and said: "No, cold water needs to be thrown on us, but we cannot backtrack just because other countries have problems. This kind of attitude is even more unacceptable."

Xiao Ri shook his head and said: "That's not what I said, my dear, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. Even though I am old, I can still understand the spirit of the Central Committee. Now up there..." He pointed at the ceiling and said

: "Can't you see there's a fierce fight up there? We can't move at this time, let alone stay on the sidelines, otherwise both sides will scream for beatings."

Tang Yi didn't expect Xiao Ri to speak frankly to him about the power struggle at the top. He was a little touched. How could the Tang family not be clear about the struggle at the top? I'm afraid Xiao Ri didn't understand the factions above.

Tang Yi thought about the wording for a moment and said: "Secretary Xiao, if you read the first article carefully, you will see that there is no intention to oppose the reform at all. If you look at my second article carefully, it seems that the title is completely different from the first article.

, is actually a supplement to the first article,"

"Secretary Xiao, the reasons for the disintegration of the Soviet Union are very complicated, but it is definitely not because of reform and opening up. Its own ethnic conflicts and the Russian greed of the elite group all played a big role. I also mentioned it briefly in this article.

." More than ten years later, countless economists and political scientists have conducted in-depth analyzes on the reasons for the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Tang Yi was certainly comfortable writing about it.

"Reform and opening up and improving people's living standards are the only way out for the Republic. I feel that reform and opening up cannot be entangled in whether it is capitalist or social, but mainly depends on whether it is conducive to developing the productive forces of socialist society and whether it is conducive to strengthening the socialist country.

Whether comprehensive national strength is conducive to improving people's living standards. Now we must be wary of the right, but the main thing is to prevent "left". Planning and market are not the essential difference between socialism and capitalism."

Tang Yi did not dare to write these words in the article. It was the speech made by the leader during his southern tour in early 1992 to turn the tide and end the ideological collision within the party. No matter how brave he was, he would not dare to steal the leader's wisdom, but his article was perfect.

It is completely in line with the spirit of the Southern Tour and can be regarded as a foreshadowing for the Southern Tour speech.

Looking at Tang Yi with a determined face, Xiao Ri sighed, took the manuscript and read it carefully. As he read, his helpless expression gradually disappeared, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and finally he smiled and said: "Sure, I thought

Your child is born to be rebellious, and he will fight against anything he encounters. It doesn’t seem to be the case. Your article is well written, at least I can understand it! But as soon as you published this article, you put on the hat of a reformist.

.”

Tang Yi nodded slightly, reformist? It may be a label now, but in a few years it will not be a problem at all. In a few years, even conservatives will not blatantly oppose the reform, but will question the various shortcomings that have emerged in the reform.

That's all.

Xiao Ri thought for a while and said: "Let's do this. I will hand over this manuscript to you, but the name will be yours alone!"

Tang Yi hurriedly said: "That can't be done. The last time we published the manuscript jointly, if we don't jointly publish it this time, it means that you are against my opinion? You are already against me, and you still expect others to support me? First of all, this is

It doesn’t make sense!”

Tang Yi's reasons were high-sounding, but Xiao Ri could only nod helplessly.

At the end of September, Chen Ke boarded the train to Shanghai. She received the notice from Shanghai University of Political Science and Law more than ten days ago. Tang Yi sent Chen Ke to Yanqing Railway Station. Chen Ke also studied in Yanshan.

She had been on a long journey, but Chen Ke's eyes seemed to be red on the jeep, which made Tang Yi unbearable. Before getting on the train, Tang Yi touched her little head and said with a smile: "If you miss home, just call me."

, I will visit you when I have time, study hard and serve my hometown."

Hearing Tang Yi say to go see her, Chen Ke broke down in tears and laughed. Before getting on the train, he stammered: "You, you need to take good care of your health. I, I will think of something for you..."

Tang Yi laughed and scolded: "You're the only one who's sick of this girl." He pushed Chen Ke onto the train.

…

Xiao Ri and Tang Yi's signed articles were published in newspapers. Because the two had become quite big and small pen names, it naturally triggered a more intense debate in the public opinion. Soon, the People's Daily reprinted Tang Yi's article in the grassroots construction column. Editor's note

Here, he praised Xiao Ri and Tang Yi for being prepared for danger in peacetime, but also understood that crisis is an opportunity in danger, and praised Xiao Ri and Tang Yi for their particularly thorough understanding of dialectical materialism.

At the end of October, the leader visited southern China and delivered a series of important speeches. The speeches addressed common doubts in people's minds, reiterated the necessity and importance of deepening reform and accelerating development, and based on China's reality, stood at the height of the times.

, profoundly summarized the experience and lessons of more than ten years of reform and opening up, put forward new ideas and made new breakthroughs on a series of major theoretical and practical issues, and greatly advanced the theory of building socialism with Chinese characteristics.

.

The content of the conversation mainly included six points:

1. Revolution liberates productive forces, and reform also liberates productive forces. To adhere to the line and principles since the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Party, the key is to adhere to the Party’s basic line of “one center, two basic points” and remain unwavering for a hundred years.

.

2. To speed up the pace of reform and opening up, do not get entangled in the discussion of whether the surname is "capital" or "social". The criterion for judging reform and opening up mainly depends on whether it is conducive to the development of the productive forces of the socialist society and whether it is conducive to strengthening the socialist country.

Whether comprehensive national strength is conducive to improving people's living standards. Now we must be wary of the right, but the main thing is to prevent "left". Planning and market are not the essential difference between socialism and capitalism.

3. Development is the last word. We must seize favorable opportunities and concentrate on economic construction. Economic development must rely on technology and education, and technology is the primary productive force.

4. Persist in grasping with both hands, and both hands must be strong. Throughout the process of reform and opening up, we must always pay attention to adhering to the four basic principles and oppose bourgeois liberalization.

5. The correct political line must be guaranteed by the correct organizational line. We must pay attention to cultivating people and select talents into the leadership according to the "four modernizations" standards. We must oppose formalism and learn from Marxism-Leninism to be precise and effective.

6. Adhere to socialist beliefs. Socialism will inevitably replace capitalism after going through a tortuous development process. This is the general trend of historical development.

The talk pointed out: If we do not adhere to socialism, do not reform and open up, do not develop the economy, and do not improve people's lives, there will be no way out. Revolution is to liberate productive forces, and reform is also to liberate productive forces. We must be bolder in reform and opening up, dare to experiment, and we will be sure.

, just try boldly and break out boldly. We must promote science, and only by relying on science can we have hope. We must insist on focusing on both hands, one hand on reform and opening up, and the other hand on cracking down on various criminal activities. Both hands must be tough.

When the leader talked about his sixth point, he named Xiao Ri and Tang Yi, "These two comrades really study and apply Marxism-Leninism! My views are also inspired by these two comrades. They are the grassroots

The hope of our party lies in having such comrades who are conscientious and conscientious, who cross the river by feeling the stones and pay attention to summing up experience and lessons!"

The leader's speech put an end to the fierce conflict within the party and opened a new chapter in reform and opening up.

The following month, the State Planning Commission officially changed its name to the National Development and Reform Planning Commission. The term National Development and Reform Commission appeared in advance probably because the theory in Tang Yi's article was approved by the chief minister. Of course, unlike ten years later, the two plans

The word "" cannot be removed from the name of the National Development and Reform Commission. Due to the expansion of the power of the National Development and Reform Commission, the leadership of various provinces and cities also made a series of adjustments. In fact, these adjustments, especially those at the provincial and departmental level, are the result of compromise struggles among high-level factions.

.

Tang Yi did not expect that the leader's speech on the southern tour would be delivered a few months in advance, but when he thought about it, he was relieved. The discussion caused by his article paved the way for the southern tour, and it was not surprising that the schedule for the southern tour was accelerated.

Tang Yi also didn't expect that he would receive a call from the old man. The old man's loud laughter on the phone was the first time Tang Yi heard, "Xiao Yi, you did a good job. My old comrade made a special trip to call me to praise me during the southern tour."

You! The child is teachable! The child is teachable!”

I don't know why, even though it was just a few simple words, Tang Yi was so excited that he hung up the phone and couldn't calm down for a long time. Maybe it's because the old man's lofty status has been deeply imprinted in Tang Yi's heart since he was a child.

Think about it, the reason why the old man is so happy is not just because his performance has attracted the attention of the chief. It seems that in this leadership adjustment, the Tang Department has achieved considerable results. The old man has always pursued the golden mean, and

The conservative Chen Clan and the reformist General Secretary are both at a distance, but his articles are biased towards the reformists. The Tang family must have benefited greatly from this reformist victory, but they have not offended Chen Clan very much.

, after all, he cannot represent the Tang family, so the old man is so happy.

In Yanshan, Xiao Ri was transferred to the director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, a full-time position at the department and bureau level. Although he was not as prominent as the mayor, he could be said to have risen to the top when he entered the provincial leadership. However, Cheng Jianjun didn't know how to move around, because he was both from Yanshan

The leadership added points and was transferred to the position of deputy mayor of Yanqing City. Tang Yi, who had just celebrated his 23rd birthday, was appointed as the deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Yanshan County, and was promoted to a full administrative level. There are more than 20 division-level cadres.

There are some who are 26 years old in various ministries, commissions, and large state-owned enterprises, and it is not too unusual for them to be promoted to division-level cadres at the age of 26 or 7, but the 23-year-old county party committee secretary is unique. Perhaps, in the history of the Republic, the only one who was promoted to department-level cadres at the time of liberation is

Only a kid can have such an honor. Of course, except for the changes in the party committee, other appointments were announced after the approval of the impromptu people's meeting.

Tang Yi actually couldn't understand this appointment. According to the old man's temperament, it was impossible for him to put himself on the stove at such a young age. For him, it was not a good thing to rise to the top in one step. He was afraid that from now on, he would be

Put it under a microscope and be watched by thousands of eyes. If you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss.

A few days later, Tang Yi received a call from his second uncle Tang Wandong. Sure enough, Tang Wandong vaguely mentioned on the phone that this appointment was not the old man's suggestion. However, after weighing the matter, the old man adopted a tacit attitude and told Tang Yi not to be afraid and let it go.

Go ahead and do it. If you really can't bear the burden, you can go back to the central ministries and commissions departments and start over again. You are still young anyway, and it is good to have a starting point as a division-level cadre. Tang Wandong said these words in a joking tone.

It was also the first time that Tang Yi heard Tang Wandong smile in front of him, no matter in his previous life or in this life.

It seems that his performance has been recognized by his second uncle to a certain extent, and Tang Yi is also a little happy. However, listening to the old man's tone, he doesn't think he can make anything famous in Yanshan, and he just wants to give it a try.

I grilled myself in this oven, and even had my escape route laid out for me.

Although I feel warm in my heart, at least I know that the old man cares about me, but this concern arouses Tang Yi's arrogance. I still want to make a name for myself in Yanshan. But Tang Yi also knows that Mu Xiuyu

Lin, the wind will destroy it. From now on, I have been watched by thousands of pairs of eyes. I must not only do things down-to-earth and not be looked down upon by others, but also keep a low profile and keep a low profile. The political situation is unpredictable. I am really now

When crossing the river by feeling the stones, be sure not to be swept away by the turbulent whirlpool.
