The official way of rebirth

In the distant mountains there are withered grass and solitary vines, and the trees are desolate.

On the summit square of the empty cemetery, Tang Yi stood silently in front of the bronze statue of the Volunteers. Behind the bronze statue were the tombs of hundreds of martyrs. A few steps behind Tang Yi, there was a mass of black heads, from the party, government, and military.

Members of the Liaodong delegation of the department, the Youth Delegation of the Republic, some members of the art troupe, cadres at all levels of the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in North Korea, representatives of Chinese-funded institutions in North Korea, overseas Chinese and students studying abroad, etc.

The cold wind made people's clothes rustle, and everyone silently stared at Tang Yi's back.

After a long time, Tang Yi clasped his hands together and bowed silently.

A few birds flew up to the sky with mournful sounds. At this moment, it seemed that only the bronze statue of the volunteer soldier standing tall and tall and Tang Yi standing quietly in front of the bronze statue were left between the sky and the earth.

A few days later, a huge photo of Tang Yi, dressed in melanin and solemnly paying homage to the martyrs of the Volunteer Army, appeared on a right-wing newspaper in Washington. This media has its own mission of promoting the Communist Party and will throw out a scary story every three days.

point of view.

The cover photo article about Tang Yi on the first page was written by Paul, the newspaper's "China expert". He wrote that the red politician wearing a Tang suit to worship the martyrs of the Volunteer Army contained extremely rich information and the struggle between Eastern and Western civilizations.

, to restore the power and power of that ancient empire. These may be what this red figure pursues deep in his heart.

He also said that folding hands is originally a Buddhist etiquette, but in modern China it has gradually evolved into a pious greeting. The actions of this red figure also contain the meaning of peace and love in Confucianism. This is another signal that we in the Western world should pay attention to.

.

Paul's article did not cause any waves in the mainstream society. After all, although Tang Yi is now the subject of speculation by some American media, in fact, Tang Yi's status in the political sequence of the Republic is far from reaching the level that seriously affects the mainstream society in the United States.

Level of concern.

However, the photo taken from an excellent angle by the Washington Citizen surprised many people.

The sky and the earth are long, with a bronze statue full of heroic atmosphere, a man in plain clothes with a solemn face, and a few steps away, a dark crowd standing neatly in silence. The whole photo is full of oppression and makes people feel suffocated.

Perhaps, many people carefully study Paul's article because of this photo. They want to know what kind of message the man showing strength in the photo brings.

…

During Tang Yi's visit to North Korea, Liaodong and North Korea signed numerous economic cooperation agreements, and North Korea's Sinuiju began large-scale construction of mobile phone networks and liberalized mobile phone supervision and other measures that cheered up the spirits of Liaodong businessmen. This represented that in Sinuiju

, it has become easier for ordinary people to own mobile phones. Unlike the mainland of North Korea, although it is preparing to develop a mobile phone network, the central decision-making level is still discussing who can own a mobile phone.

Mr. Long, on behalf of NLD Communications and the Sinuiju Special Administrative Region Government, signed a joint venture agreement with the Sinuiju Communications Branch of North Korea to establish a communications company. This may make Mr. Long more excited than winning Pyongyang’s mobile business. After all, there are too many variables in Pyongyang.

The signing of a large number of bilateral cooperation agreements has actually linked Sinuiju and Liaodong more and more closely. Liaodong's economic policies have once again attracted the attention of other regions in the Republic, and some provinces that value regional GDP have begun to consider the rise in economic status.

The changes brought to the political and economic landscape of the Republic.

In the reception room on the third floor of the Provincial Party Committee Office Building, Tang Yi smoked a cigarette silently, listening to Xue Chuan on the sofa on the other side of the coffee table talking about some violations of policies and regulations in the construction of low-rent housing. Indeed, as long as it is government-funded

A big project is like a big piece of fat. You don't know how many evil wolves will target it. As powerful as Tang Yi, no matter how many times you give it, you can't avoid this situation.

In fact, Tang Yi and Xue Chuan met to discuss some prospects of Liaodong's economic planning. Tang Yi just returned from North Korea yesterday, and there were some different opinions about his visit to North Korea. Just after getting off the plane, Tang Yi

Tang Yi received a call from his second uncle. Sitting in the car returning to the provincial party committee, Tang Yi and his second uncle discussed for a long time, but no one knew what they were talking about.

Tang Yi also knows that there are different voices among the top leaders of the Republic regarding the establishment of the Sinuiju Special Economic Zone. Nowadays, Liaodong and Sinuiju are becoming more and more closely connected, which will make the opposition between high-level opinions even more acute.

From the perspective of the national interests of the Republic, at this stage, it would be absolutely harmful and unhelpful for North Korea to fully open up, but Tang Yi hopes to take a longer-term view. First of all, North Korea will not fully open up in the short term unless the third generation leadership collective

In the event of major changes, stabilizing the situation in North Korea and making the handover of North Korea proceed smoothly should actually be the Republic's priority. As long as the leader dynasty believes that it can survive with the support of the Republic, they will not deliberately approach the United States. If they blindly exert pressure

Demanding that North Korea be liberalized is just a political fairy tale shouted by ideologues.

As for the lives of the North Korean people, we can only ignore them at this stage. This is the bloody national politics. What's more, the lives of the North Korean people are not as miserable as some domestic rumors spread. Many posts circulating on the Internet are either about North Korea's "misery"

Old posts from the time of "March" are either just sensationalizing.

Despite this, Tang Yi had to pay attention to these domestic voices and met with Xue Chuan to communicate. Tang Yi hoped that the economic policy of increasingly close ties between Liaodong and Sinuiju would be supported by Xue Chuan, but he did not expect that Xue Chuan would propose it.

The problem of low-rent housing.

"The concrete ingredients used in the low-rent housing built by Hongfa Real Estate in Songping City seriously did not meet the national standards. When the undercover investigators asked, their staff plausibly said that the low-rent housing is of this quality, and the money allocated by the government is only so small.

If you rent a house, you are a poor person

Slums!" Xue Chuan became angrier as he spoke, and he raised a sharp question: Will the large-scale construction of low-rent housing areas become new slums in the city? If it is a new slum, how can such housing be provided to people?

With a sense of belonging? How to give people a sense of happiness?

Songping. Now, no matter which region it is, as long as there are major problems in the construction of low-rent housing, it means that there has been a mistake in the housing supply policy formulated by Tang Yi.

Tang Yi nodded lightly. Although Xue Chuan was talking about housing construction, he also reminded him that how to prevent low-rent housing areas from becoming synonymous with slums should be put on the agenda.

"Leave the issue of Hongfa Real Estate to the Anti-Corruption Bureau." Tang Yi put out his cigarette butt and said: "Tomorrow I will meet with Director Liu Jin and the comrades from the Construction Department to discuss the issue of strengthening the supervision of low-rent housing construction.

.”

Xue Chuan was stunned. He had been making his statement for five minutes, but Tang Yi ended the discussion with just one sentence, which caught him off guard.

However, Xue Chuan quickly regained his smile, nodded, and said, "Okay, let's discuss it tomorrow. You just came back from North Korea, so make sure you rest."

Tang Yi smiled without making a sound.

…

In the deep courtyard of the Standing Committee Courtyard, red bricks and blue tiles can be faintly seen under the shade of green pines and cypresses.

On the way home, Tang Yi received a call. Xiao Tan could see it clearly in the rearview mirror. Secretary Tang frowned slightly. The call seemed to be from Secretary Li. In the past, Secretary Tang had never done anything because of Secretary Li.

I frowned at work. Could it be that Secretary Li made a mistake? Xiao Tan's thoughts changed for a moment and he stopped thinking about it.

In the living room like a European pastoral scroll, Kuancheng County Magistrate Han Dongmei was sitting on the sofa slightly awkwardly, waiting for Tang Yi. She was holding the third cup of tea in her hand. Zhou Yu was sitting with her, but the two

She really couldn't find anything to talk about, but Han Dongmei would quietly ask her a few questions about her work and life. Now Han Dongmei is no longer the former Wu Xia Ameng. She was the head of a county, with a tough approach and extremely strict laws.

, it’s very atmospheric outside.

But when she came to Xishan, especially when she was sitting in the living room of Xishan No. 1. In addition to the obedience and respect for Tang Yi that had already formed in her heart, Han Dongmei was always a little unable to let go.

Wearing a well-tailored black casual suit with peony buttons, it reflected her beautiful face, making her look more delicate than a flower.

Seeing Tang Yi walking in from outside, Han Dongmei stood up quickly, smiling sincerely on her delicate face, "Secretary Tang."

"Ah, you've been waiting for a long time!" Tang Yi changed his slippers and gestured to Han Dongmei to sit down.

"No, I've just been here for a while." Han Dongmei's words were a bit untrue. She came to the provincial capital for a meeting, and she came to the Standing Committee House at around five o'clock in the afternoon. Firstly, she would not receive much attention at this time, and secondly, she was really in the

There is nothing to do in the provincial capital.

After Tang Yi cleansed his face and came out of the bathroom, Zhou Yu retreated silently. When it was not suitable for him to appear, Zhou Yu could "not exist" and not attract anyone's attention. And when she was needed

When you are there, it seems like she is always by your side.

"How's it going? How do you tell me about the direction of the meeting at the Department of Agriculture?" Tang Yi smiled and picked up the hot tea given by the nanny Xiaoli.

Director of the Department of Agriculture, Mao Zhu, was single-handedly promoted by Tang Yi and was also a strong promoter of agricultural reform. However, the relationship within the Department of Agriculture was extremely complicated, because the National Development and Reform Commission and the Department of Agriculture were the departments that Secretary Zhao Fa tried hard to control. Therefore, these two departments

The personnel relations are still relatively chaotic.

Han Dongmei smiled softly and said: "I conveyed several documents from the National Development and Reform Commission, but didn't talk much about other issues."

Tang Yi nodded slightly, then his eyes fell on the two cardboard boxes stacked in the corner. Looking at the packaging, it was a box of Wuliangye and a box of Zhonghua Cigarettes.

Tang Yi smiled and said: "Why, your little life has become more and more prosperous?"

Han Dongmei's pretty face turned red. She had expected that Secretary Tang would definitely criticize her for giving these things. But during the Chinese New Year, she remembered the care she had received from Secretary Tang in the past few years, so she gritted her teeth and took out her savings and lost a lot of money.

, even though the tobacco and alcohol company offered a huge discount, these two boxes of tobacco and alcohol still cost nearly 10,000 yuan.

Han Dongmei also knew that Secretary Tang would not say harsh words, so she asked with a smile. Han Dongmei was very embarrassed and said bravely: "I know you don't lack this, but this is my intention. In the past few years,

, the coupons that you and Mr.

Tang Yi interrupted her with a smile: "What? Do you want to draw a clear line with me?"

Han Dongmei waved her hands in panic, "No, no, I, I just want to thank Secretary Tang for taking care of him..."

Looking at the bewildered appearance of this elegant female county magistrate who was rumored to have a thunderous style, Tang Yi burst into laughter and waved his hand, "I understand what you mean, okay, I accept it!" He raised his hand to Xiaoli again.

He made a gesture and said with a smile: "Open that box of cigarettes. Mayor Dongmei's hard-earned money cannot be wasted."

Seeing that Tang Yi actually lit up a Chinese cigarette that he sent and started smoking, Han Dongmei felt a little happy and even asked: "Is it good to smoke?" After asking, she felt a little abrupt and hurriedly picked up the teacup and drank tea to cover it up.

Tang Yi took a few puffs of cigarette contentedly and asked: "Is there a secretary named Qiu at Kuancheng Gate?"

Han Dongmei was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Secretary Tang to be so clear about matters in a small place like Kuancheng. She nodded. Although Secretary Qiu was the most uncooperative person in her work when she first went to Kuancheng, Han Dongmei had never been with Tang Yi.

They will not discuss the rights and wrongs of grassroots cadres even if they complain in front of them.

Tang Yi also knew Han Dongmei's temperament, so he smiled and said, "Okay, I won't ask anymore. Just rub those thorns flat. There are usually several brushes on the thorns, and you are a good hand at work."

Han Dongmei pursed her lips and smiled. She had followed Tang Yi all the way from Huang Hai. She could be regarded as Tang Yi's absolute friend. Secretary Tang sometimes didn't shy away from speaking in front of her. It could be said that he was always giving advice.

"There are no difficulties in life, right?" In fact, Tang Yi knows that Han Dongmei is no longer the embarrassed female mayor she was when she first went to Huanghai. Although she will not have any gray income, her small life will definitely be prosperous.

.

Han Dongmei chuckled and said: "I just changed to a 55-inch high-definition TV, Feiyan's." She likes to talk about family affairs with Secretary Tang, and now she understands Secretary Tang's feeling of not being able to live in a high place.

She is still just a county magistrate. There are fewer and fewer people who can speak. So what about Secretary Tang, the No. 1 provincial party committee secretary? In the eyes of the cadres below, this handsome and kind man is already a symbol and a symbol.

A symbol of the unattainable.

"Feiyan's." Tang Yi smiled. Once upon a time, Feiyan became synonymous with high-end electrical appliances in China.

"Okay, let's have a meal together." Tang Yi saw Xiaoli placing the dishes and chopsticks in the restaurant, and smiled and gestured to Han Dongmei.

"Okay." Han Dongmei agreed happily.

The unique chandelier softly illuminates the yellow-based restaurant, and the wall decorations and cultural bricks add a lot of color to the restaurant.

On the dining table covered with a white and green checkered tablecloth were placed a few light side dishes, a bowl of osmanthus cherry soup, a bowl of crucian carp soup, and a porcelain plate with white orchids, which exuded a bit of elegance.

Inviting Han Dongmei to sit down at the dining table, Tang Yi smiled when he saw the cherry soup and said, "This is specially made for you. Try it and see if it tastes good." He also knew that Sister Lan often asked Xiaoli to make cherry soup for herself.

, and also said that cherry soup is only for women, and can beautify and whiten it, etc. Xiaoli remembered it in her heart.

Han Dongmei picked up the small white jade spoon and took a small mouthful, holding the small red cherry in her mouth and chewing it. The pretty female county magistrate suddenly became a little more charming and naive. Perhaps only Tang Yi could appreciate this kind of naivety.

In front of this powerful man, Han Dongmei can behave more like a little woman.

"It tastes good." Han Dongmei nodded in approval.

Tang Yi sighed, "It's a pity, I won't be able to eat the rice cooked by Xiaoli in the future." Xiaoli's cooking skills are getting better and better, but there is no such thing as a banquet. Before the Spring Festival, Xiaoli timidly said to Tang Yi

, the person at home urged her to go back again

Married. Ever since Xiaoli became the nanny of Governor Tang, Xiaoli’s family has disapproved of the marriage that was agreed upon earlier, and they did not agree with Xiaoli going back to get married. However, Xiaoli and her childhood sweetheart from her hometown, Xiaoli

Very afraid that she is going to be with Hu

She was thinking wildly, after all, being a nanny for a big official like Secretary Tang would be very dignified when she returned to her hometown. The county magistrate even went to her home when she was visiting relatives and told her to serve Secretary Tang well and bring glory to her hometown. But in fact, the village

There were also rumors in the house that the nanny's job was extremely bad. Xiaoli knew that if she didn't go back, it was hard to predict what her partner would think. After thinking about it, she still couldn't let go of her childhood sweetheart relationship, so she secretly resigned from her job without telling her family.

Tang Yi roughly understood some things about Xiaoli from Sister Lan, and was very pleased with Xiaoli's choice. He didn't know before that this ordinary little girl had excellent character, and it was natural that she would become a good person.

Speaking of which, Sister Lan's craftsmanship is much better than Xiaoli's, but Tang Yi always feels that Sister Lan is too lazy and not a competent nanny. In fact, Sister Lan is not very diligent in taking care of Tang Yi's diet and daily life.

Han Dongmei heard Tang Yi sigh and asked with a smile: "Xiaoli is the nanny, right? Why do you want to resign?"

Tang Yi briefly explained the matter, glanced at Han Dongmei, and suddenly smiled and said: "Well, how about you do me a favor and be Xiaoli's wedding witness?" Tang Yi was originally planning to ask Li Gang to go to Xiaoli.

The marriage was solemnized in her hometown, but it seemed a little inappropriate for the secretary of the provincial party committee secretary to personally witness the marriage. Although Han Dongmei was at the same senior level as Li Gang, and in fact, in terms of her status within the party, she had no

Li Gang, who holds a title in the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee, obviously has a lower status than Han Dongmei. However, everyone knows which one is more important than the secretary of the provincial Party committee secretary or the head of a county, let alone in the countryside. Perhaps for the occasional

The county magistrate and secretary of the county committee would not think it was too strange, but the first secretary of the provincial committee would definitely cause a big sensation. So when he saw Han Dongmei, Tang Yi suddenly had an idea.

Han Dongmei chuckled and nodded, "Okay." She would never reject any of Tang Yi's opinions.

When Tang Yi called Xiaoli and told her about asking County Magistrate Han to go to her hometown to help her witness her marriage, Xiaoli was extremely grateful. She had been worrying about what she would say to her parents when she went back, and she was even more afraid that her hot-tempered father would

She fought to death, but now all the problems have been solved. County Magistrate Han went to witness the marriage in person. What a glorious wedding it was. What else could her parents say? Xiaoli even began to look forward to her own grand and wonderful wedding ceremony.

"Thank you Secretary Tang, thank you County Magistrate Han." Xiaoli blushed and thanked her repeatedly.

Han Dongmei smiled and said: "This is my first time as a witness. I want to thank you for giving me this opportunity. How about it? Is the groom handsome?"

Xiaoli blushed with embarrassment and didn't know how to answer.

Tang Yi smiled and waved his hand, and Xiaoli ran to the living room as if she had been granted amnesty.

Han Dongmei looked at her back and sighed thoughtfully, "There's no one around you who hasn't received your favor, right?" I think it reminded me of the past in the Yellow Sea.

Tang Yi smiled and said: "Enhui? Are you serious?"

Han Dongmei turned back and stared at Tang Yi, and said seriously: "At least that's what I thought." She just stared at Tang Yi for a few seconds, but finally did not dare to look at Secretary Tang, and quickly lowered her head.

How many cadres in Liaodong can talk to Tang Yi calmly?

Both of them stopped talking and started eating in silence.

After a while, Han Dongmei broke the silence, "I, I took my parents to Kuancheng."

Tang Yi nodded, "It's time for the elderly to enjoy happiness."

Han Dongmei hummed, and she couldn't help but think about the change in her parents' attitude toward Li Quan as her status rose. In fact, when she was the deputy mayor of Fangezhuang Town, her father had already mentioned that she and Li Quan should divorce.

Find another family, but at that time, because her family forced her to marry Li Quan, although her father and mother regretted it, they were embarrassed to say too much. But now, their parents are here almost every day

She was whispering in her ears that she should cut the knot quickly and end this unfortunate marriage. Especially after her parents came to Kuancheng, they shouted and shouted at Li Quan. In the end, Han Dongmei had no choice but to rent a house outside and asked her parents to move in, and she

Every time she went to visit them, her mother would always hold her and cry, saying that she had harmed her daughter, that she was sorry for her daughter and wanted to die. Thinking of these troubles, Han Dongmei shook her head gently.

She and Li Quan have been dependent on each other for these years. There is no doubt that Li Quan is like her family member. When she was in the most difficult time, only the silly Li Quan could make her laugh from the heart. Now she wants to break up with Li Quan.

Not only was she unable to pass her own test, but she was really reluctant to let it go. Let alone accept a strange relationship. She was not mentally prepared for it.

"Mingshun Group, do you know about it?" Tang Yi's question interrupted Han Dongmei's reverie. Han Dongmei shook her head, threw those troubles behind her, and said, "I've heard of it, but I don't know the specific situation."

Mingshun Group also purchased processed peanut products in Kuancheng and sold them to North Korea. The prices for the purchases were very low for several collective enterprises. Han Dongmei was very surprised at the time. Later she found out that the boss of Mingshun Group had a very strong relationship with Anton. I heard that

He used to be a distinguished guest of Minister Zhang Zhen.

Han Dongmei hesitated for a moment and said: "I heard that Mr. Li and Minister Zhang have a good relationship, and Mingshun Group also has business in Kuancheng." She did not continue, thinking that Secretary Tang also understood what she meant.

Tang Yi frowned for a moment, then relaxed it quickly, and asked with a smile: "Where's Shida? What does he think of Mingshun Group?"

Han Dongmei thought seriously for a while and said: "It seems that a document was delivered. I heard it was to rectify the trading company."

Tang Yi nodded slightly and stopped asking.
