Ya Nei of Rebirth

Liu Jun told Wang Youfu that he could not be the director of the No. 1 Guesthouse of the County Revolutionary Committee until the end of the year, based on the time of the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party. At the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, the current theoretical guidelines were proposed

It will be officially denied. Who knows that this estimate is still too conservative. By June, the situation has completely reversed.

The performance of Yan Yucheng and Liu Jincai in the first guest house made Wang Benqing itchy with hatred. They said it was a separate review, but these two guys didn't even write a word of review. They bickered with the cadres of the Organization Department every day, and they were criticized.

Speechless. The Organization Department had no choice but to ask Minister Wu Qiuyang to personally intervene, but to no avail.

Minister Wu is a veteran organization cadre. He has worked his way from the grassroots to the position of organization director step by step. He has rich experience. However, his educational level is not high. When it comes to theoretical level, he is far behind Yan Yucheng and Liu Jincai, and is even worse.

Some young cadres from the Organization Department.

Zheng Xingyun is in charge of organizational personnel work at the County Revolutionary Committee. Wu Qiuyang, the head of the organization, is usually regarded as a member of the Wang faction. This is mainly because Wu Qiuyang was promoted by Wang Benqing. This is probably a pawn used by Wang Benqing to restrain Zheng Xingyun.

However, Wu Qiuyang was a relatively upright person and was born and raised in Xiangyang, so both Yan Yucheng and Liu Jincai gave him considerable respect and did not show off their words in front of him. The conversation with Wu Qiuyang was more like a comrade-like heart-to-heart talk.

.

After several conversations, Wu Qiuyang was almost convinced by Yan Yucheng and Liu Jincai. Later, every time Wu Qiuyang came to the guest house, he basically just chatted and simply put the "theory debate" behind him.

Wang Benqing didn't know about this situation. No one was fighting for such a good "merit" opportunity. It can be seen that among the ordinary cadres in Xiangyang County, the concepts are quietly changing.

But Wang Benqing obviously could not tolerate Yan Yucheng and Liu Jincai endlessly delaying the confrontation, and through Wu Qiuyang, he issued an ultimatum.

On June 3, 1978, Wu Qiuyang came to a guest house, made an exception and summoned Yan Yucheng and Liu Jincai together. Accompanied by Wang Benqing's secretary and an organization cadre, he solemnly conveyed to the two parties who were being isolated for investigation.

received a notice from the Xiangyang County Revolutionary Committee.

"If Comrade Yan Yucheng and Comrade Liu Jincai insist on wrong political views, do not have a correct and clear understanding of the serious mistakes they have made, and cannot make a profound written review before June 5, the Xiangyang County Revolutionary Committee will make a more serious decision on them.

Serious party and government disciplinary sanctions will be imposed, up to and including expulsion from the party and dismissal from public office!"

Finally, we have to see each other.

Yan Yucheng and Liu Jincai both looked solemn.

Wu Qiuyang knew in his heart that Wang Benqing had no way to retreat now. When the time came, he would really be able to manipulate the County Revolutionary Committee to pass a resolution to ban both Yan Yucheng and Liu Jincai.

"Lao Yan, Lao Liu, I think you should make a self-examination..."

Wang Benqing's secretary glanced at Wu Qiuyang strangely. Why did the organization minister seem to be begging a subordinate who had made a mistake?

Yan Yucheng and Liu Jincai looked at each other, took a deep breath, and said: "Minister Wu, this is not a dispute of tempers. We have no personal grudges with Comrade Wang Benqing. This is a battle of truth and line, and there is no room for compromise.

! He, Wang Benqing, can expel us from the party and public offices, and even throw us into prison, but it is absolutely impossible for us to give up truth and justice!"

Wu Qiuyang nodded meaningfully, shook hands with Yan Liu and said goodbye.

On the morning of June 5, Wu Qiuyang came to a guest house again.

Yan Yucheng and Liu Jincai were neatly dressed and waiting for the final decision of the County Revolutionary Committee.

Seeing Wu Qiuyang striding towards him, Yan Yucheng smiled and said to Liu Jincai: "I didn't expect that brat of yours was right."

Liu Jincai also smiled slightly: "Yes."

"Jin Cai, things are unpredictable. I originally wanted to invite you to have a big fight..."

"Hey, don't say anything sorry to me... I'm both a farmer, and I won't starve to death even if I go home to work in the fields!"

"What's so hungry? Who's starving?"

Wu Qiuyang answered with a smile.

Yan and Liu were stunned for a moment. Why did Wu Qiuyang look like this? It didn't look like he was going to open both hands!

"Minister Wu, what are you so happy about? Leaving your wife and marrying a new wife?"

Yan Yucheng simply started joking.

"Go, go, go, you made me happy."

Wu Qiuyang laughed and cursed, then straightened his face and said seriously: "Comrade Yan Yucheng, Comrade Liu Jincai, Director Long Tiejun of the Baozhou District Revolutionary Committee wants you to rush to Baozhou City immediately. Director Long wants to talk to you personally."

…

Baozhou City, Long Tiejun's office on the third floor of the Office Building of the Regional Revolutionary Committee.

It was the first time that Liu Jincai walked into the office building of the Geographical Revolution Committee, and he was somewhat curious and afraid of this four-story gray building hidden among the cypress trees. Although Yan Yucheng had been here several times, when he entered the office of the top leader, he was also

The eldest girl got on the sedan chair—for the first time.

Long Tiejun is in his fifties, with gray hair and faint age spots on his face. He has an elegant expression. If he were not sitting behind the desk with the national flag, he would be more often regarded as a scholar rather than the person in charge of a city.

Senior county officials.

In the office, besides Long Tiejun, there were also two cadres sitting. One was in his fifties, and the other was relatively young, about in his early forties. Like Long Tiejun, they both wore gray and black Mao-style Mao-style tunic suits. The younger one

, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses.

Yan Yucheng knew the gloomy-looking man in his fifties, but he was Long Tiejun's deputy and the first deputy director of the Prefectural Revolutionary Committee, Zhou Peiming.

Liu Heqian introduced the two of them into the office, introduced their identities, poured tea, and then quietly left and closed the door.

"Are you two Comrade Yan Yucheng and Comrade Liu Jincai? I have admired their names for a long time, haha..."

Long Tiejun smiled heartily.

Ever since Wu Qiuyang said that Long Tiejun had summoned him, Yan Yucheng and Liu Jincai had been beating their hearts out. When they asked Wu Qiuyang, Wu Qiuyang also spread his hands and knew nothing. He just told them that Wang Benqing, Zheng Xingyun and Cui Xiuhe were summoned to the area yesterday, but they didn't

Know what it is.

Yan Yucheng was even more worried, could Wang Benqing be up to something else?

At this moment, when I heard Long Tiejun's hearty laughter, the fifteen buckets of water in my heart finally calmed down.

"Where is it... Director Long, hello..."

Even though Yan Yucheng was very courageous, he couldn't help but feel a little at a loss at this moment.

"Haha, you are great theorists, talents from our Baozhou area."

Yan Yucheng and Liu Jincai immediately secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Cadres of Long Tiejun's level would not praise others easily. To put it this way, it was a very high compliment.

"Come, Comrade Yan Yucheng, Comrade Liu Jincai, let me introduce to you..." Long Tiejun stood up cheerfully, pointed at the younger cadre and said: "This is Qian Jianjun from the Theoretical Dynamics Group of the Central Propaganda Department

Deputy leader..."

Yan Yucheng and Liu Jincai were startled and hurried forward.

The name "Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China" is indeed enough to make people dizzy for a while.

Deputy Team Leader Qian stood up somewhat reservedly and shook hands with them to say hello.

"This person you should know is Deputy Director Zhou Peiming of our Baozhou District Revolutionary Committee."

Yan Yucheng's eyes twitched slightly. He had long heard that Zhou Peiming was Wang Benqing's backstage, but today was the first time he met him. Zhou Peiming forced a smile and reached out to touch him.

Liu Jincai didn't know what was going on, so he held Zhou Peiming's hand and shook it for a while.

"Comrade Yan Yucheng and Comrade Liu Jincai, please take a seat."

"Yes, thank you, Director Long."

Yan Yucheng and Liu Jincai sat down on the sofa with half their buttocks on each other, their backs straight and their eyes unblinking as they looked at Long Tiejun.

"Haha, there's no need to be so nervous."

Long Tiejun said kindly, quite like an elder.

"I invite you to come. First of all, I want to talk to you about the articles on "On Seeking Truth from Facts."

When it came to "On Seeking Truth from Facts", Yan Yucheng and Liu Jin suddenly became nervous after they had just relaxed. It was written by Mr. Zhou. Faced with a great theorist like Qian, deputy leader of the Theoretical Dynamics Group of the Central Propaganda Department, they should not

It's better to expose the secret.

"The first article is probably called "On Seeking Truth from Facts." When was it published?"

"Published on the front page of "N Province Daily" on October 23, 1977."

Yan Yucheng answered cautiously.

"Um."

Long Tiejun nodded, obviously he knew. Looking out of the corner of his eye, he could see several copies of "N Provincial Daily" stacked together on his desk, which must have published those articles.

"You two, who wrote the book?"

Yan Yucheng was shocked, looked at each other with Liu Jincai, and said bravely: "Comrade Liu Jincai wrote it, and I revised and polished it."

This was something they had discussed a long time ago. Although Liu Jincai's academic qualifications are not as good as Yan Yucheng's, his writing skills are better than Yan Yucheng's. Moreover, Liu Jincai is the subordinate, so it is more reasonable for him to write the script and Yan Yucheng to revise and polish it.

"Haha, Comrade Liu Jincai has good writing skills. What is your education level?"

"Report to Director Long, I graduated from Baozhou District Secondary Normal School."

Liu Jincai said and quietly wiped his sweat.

"Oh, I graduated from a normal school, no wonder I can write good articles."

Long Tiejun's smile never faded, which made Yan Yucheng and Liu Jincai feel relieved.

"Then tell me, why did you write these articles? What is your starting point?"

This question was originally difficult to answer, but during the isolation review period, I had dozens of arguments with the cadres of the Organization Department of Xiangyang County, but it was not without gain.

"Director Long, we work at the grassroots level. We usually encounter some problems in practice. We try to integrate theory with practice. Gradually, we have some superficial opinions, so we decided to write them down..."

After all, he was facing the first and second leaders of the Prefectural Revolutionary Committee and the leaders of the Central Propaganda Department. Yan Yucheng did not dare to debate as fiercely as when he debated with the cadres of Xiangyang County. He chose every word carefully and answered extremely carefully, focusing on "work practice".

.

As soon as he said these words, he saw deputy team leader Qian Jianjun slightly nodding his head, feeling reassured that he seemed to be on the right track.

"What about the 'rice field fish farming' you did in Hongqi Commune?"

Long Tiejun changed the topic.

When it comes to this matter, Yan Yucheng feels more relaxed. After all, there is no suspicion of fraud in the matter of "raising fish in rice fields".

"That's it, Director Long. We are just doing a practice. The 21 brigades of Hongqi Commune each have 20 acres of paddy fields, and each acre is stocked with 1,000 carp and crucian carp fry. They are stocked after the early rice transplants.

of……"

"Can you tell me more specifically?"

Qian Jianjun suddenly interrupted and nodded to Director Long, as if he was sorry.

"OK……"

When Yan Yucheng saw Long Tiejun nodding, he introduced the fish farming situation in detail. Hearing that an average of fifty or sixty kilograms of fresh fish were harvested per mu, Qian Jianjun was shocked.

"So much? How much is the investment?"

"The investment was not much. In other words, we spent two or three yuan per acre on frying fish, for a total of about forty or fifty yuan. Afterwards, the members caught some earthworms and put the insects into the paddy fields. They were all credited with work points and no cash was spent.

"

Qian Jianjun nodded, recorded it in his notebook, smiled at Long Tiejun, and stopped talking.

"I heard that your county gave you intra-party sanctions for this?"

Yan Yucheng thought for a while and said: "Yes, Comrade Liu Jincai is giving a warning within the party, and I am being punished with an administrative demerit..."

"What is the reason for the punishment?"

Qian Jianjun interrupted and asked again.

It seems that the identity of the "Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China" is very effective. Long Tiejun did not show any displeasure by frequently interjecting questions.

"The main reason is that corruption and speculation have arisen, and the rise of productivity theory and capitalist ideas... For several leaders, to be fair, this punishment is not an exaggeration."

"Oh? Tell me what you think."

Long Tiejun asked with great interest. He originally thought that Yan Yucheng would take the opportunity to apply eye drops to Wang Benqing, but he did not expect Yan Yucheng to say such a sentence, which was a bit unexpected.

Yan Yucheng looked at Liu Jincai and seemed to ask him to say a few words. It was a bit inappropriate for the superior leader to ask the two of them to talk together, and he was always the one to take the limelight.

Liu Jincai nodded and said: "That's right, Director Long, this is our first time doing this rice field fish farming. We have no experience, and we didn't expect the harvest to be so big. We didn't give timely guidance to each team on how to distribute it. During the distribution,

, there were some problems. Some cadres ate more and occupied more, and used things from the government as gifts. In addition, there were also a few members who bought and sold the fish they received privately, and were suspected of speculation, which caused some bad effects. As the person in charge of the Hongqi Commune,

We should take responsibility."

"Well, party members and cadres should have this style. This is called seeking truth from facts." Long Tiejun nodded repeatedly, turned to Zhou Peiming and said, "Comrade Peiming, what are your opinions?"

Zhou Peiming smiled lightly and said: "I have nothing to say, everything will be arranged by Director Long."

"Haha, you are the first deputy director in charge of organizational personnel in the region. It is up to you to announce the appointment of cadres."

Cadre appointment?

Yan Yucheng and Liu Jincai's hearts skipped a beat. Given their level, what cadre appointments need to be announced by the first deputy director of the Local Revolutionary Committee?

Zhou Peiming did not refuse, picked up the folder next to him, opened it, cleared his throat, and said: "Comrade Yan Yucheng and Comrade Liu Jincai, based on the investigation and understanding of you by the Baozhou District Revolutionary Committee, I think you two comrades are practical and willing to work."

Qian, with a firm political stance and the courage to uphold the truth, we have decided to revoke the Xiangyang County Revolutionary Committee’s decision to suspend you and reflect on your duties..."

Having said this, Zhou Peiming paused and glanced at Yan Yucheng and Liu Jincai. The two couldn't help but straighten their bodies.

"...At the same time, the Prefectural Revolutionary Committee decided to adjust your work. Comrade Yan Yucheng was appointed as the director of the Xiangyang County Revolutionary Committee, with overall responsibility for the work of Xiangyang County; Comrade Liu Jincai was appointed as the deputy director of the Xiangyang County Revolutionary Committee and Minister of Propaganda, to assist Yan

Comrade Yucheng is in charge of the county’s propaganda work!”
