Siheyuan: Back to 50 years ago, Shazhu joined the army

"County Magistrate Liu, Executive Director He is also anxious to improve our county's economy and people's livelihood. Don't make random judgments about him. He is a good comrade."

When Liu Nong saw that the county party secretary Zhang Bin came forward to help He Yuzhu out of the predicament, he didn't know what to say and just remained silent.

Then Zhang Bin looked at He Yuzhu,

"But Mr. He, regarding the two points you just mentioned, I think we should not discuss them. As County Magistrate Liu said, you are not unaware of the financial situation of our county. We simply do not have the funds to build roads. In addition, the basic plan of the economy is the principle and policy from above, which must be implemented, so you should not have any other ideas about this."

Seeing that his proposal was rejected by both the county magistrate and the county party secretary, He Yuzhu tactfully kept silent.

He felt that his ideas and policies were the most correct and the preferred way to improve local people's livelihood as quickly as possible.

Unfortunately, he is not the top leader and does not have absolute say, so he can only choose to compromise.

Then Zhang Bin changed the subject.

"Manager He, do you have any better ideas?"

He Yuzhu heard this and shook his head.

"In response to Secretary Zhang, I haven't thought of a better idea yet, but you are right. We must adhere to the policy of planned economy. I was a little careless just now. I hope my colleagues will forgive me and understand."

After saying this, He Yuzhu did not speak a word during the entire meeting and simply played the role of a mute. In fact, as a time traveler, he felt that his ideas were still too advanced, and his ideas were truly people-oriented.

......................

After the meeting, He Yuzhu was about to return to his office when he was stopped by Zhang Bin, the county party secretary.

"Manager He, please come to my office for a moment."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu followed Zhang Bin directly to the office of the county party secretary. After the two sat down, Zhang Bin spoke first.

"Manager He, I asked you to come here because I have something to tell you."

He Yuzhu nodded when he heard what Zhang Bin said.

"Secretary Zhang, if you have anything to say, please feel free to speak up. I'm all ears."

Zhang Bin nodded when he heard this.

"Manager He, this is it. Regarding those things you mentioned in the meeting before, I advise you not to say them again in the future. Also, put this idea to rest immediately. Never have such thoughts again."

He Yuzhu was obviously stunned when he heard this.

"Secretary Zhang, is it that serious?"

Seeing that He Yuzhu had not yet realized his mistake, Zhang Bin immediately raised his voice.

"He Yuzhu, are you really confused or are you pretending to be confused? If it weren't for Mayor Hao, I wouldn't bother to help you. You must first understand that the planned economy is a national policy. It is not for you and me to discuss. Do you understand? The way to be an official is to learn to do what you should do and not do what you shouldn't do. As for right or wrong, it's not important. Do you understand?"

He Yuzhu understood the real meaning of Zhang Bin's words, which was to let him pretend to be ignorant even though he knew the truth. Even if it would do more harm than good to the people, he had to bite the bullet and do it. To put it bluntly, he just had to do whatever the superiors ordered and get the job done.

He also understood that the other party was really reminding him that although he did not agree with this idea, this was the way things were in this era. If he still had the same idea as before, he would be considered unsocial and would easily be isolated or even reported.

When he thought of this, He Yuzhu felt relieved and immediately explained,

"Secretary Zhang, thank you for your reminder. I know what to do now."

Zhang Bin saw that He Yuzhu had listened to him and immediately smiled with satisfaction.

"Okay, Mr. He, as long as you understand, go and do your work. Don't let your mouth cause trouble."

He Yuzhu nodded and then left the county party secretary's office.

His originally high spirits were now quite low, because in such a large county committee, he was the only cadre who truly wanted to improve the people's livelihood issues.

He Yuzhu returned to the office of the executive deputy county magistrate and began to get stuck in a rut. If he couldn't implement what he wanted, how could he change the current situation in Guangdian County?

For this reason, he decided to go find his father-in-law, Hao Jinlong, to discuss countermeasures and see if the old man had any good suggestions.

Soon after, He Yuzhu once again rode his beloved "28-bar" bicycle to the Andong Municipal People's Government.

After these visits, he became a frequent visitor to the city government, and almost all the staff in the city government knew him.

He Yuzhu went straight to the mayor's office and knocked on the door gently.

“Knock…Knock…Knock…”

Hao Jinlong's voice came from inside the door.

"Please come in............."

He Yuzhu pushed open the door and walked straight in.

Hao Jinlong, who was handling official business, was slightly surprised when he saw that the person coming was He Yuzhu.

"Zhu Zi, why are you here? Have you encountered any problems again?"

He Yuzhu immediately informed his father-in-law Hao Jinlong of several problems encountered at the county party committee meeting.

After understanding the whole story, Hao Jinlong frowned and thought for a moment, then he spoke slowly.

"Zhu Zi, you did not do this properly. First of all, you should know that the planned economy was formulated by the higher authorities. It is extremely inappropriate for you to openly discuss this at the county party committee meeting. Fortunately, Zhang Bin, the county party secretary, gave me face. Otherwise, if this matter had been exposed, you would have lost your job.

As for your thoughts and starting points, I understand me. I also know that your plan is very suitable for the current situation, but there are some things that we grassroots officials cannot change. I still say that you must first learn to protect yourself before you can use the power at hand to benefit the people. If you do not follow the rules, you will be in trouble yourself, so how can you benefit the people? You should understand what I mean."

He Yuzhu naturally understood what Hao Jinlong meant by this, and he nodded immediately.

"Dad, I understand what you mean, but now the work can't be carried out. I don't know what to do? Should I just give up like this?"

Seeing that He Yuzhu was still digging his head in the sand, Hao Jinlong immediately continued to admonish him.

"Zhu Zi, you just have a strong sense of justice, which is a common problem among us soldiers. Your father used to have this bad habit, but now I have corrected it.

I have a suggestion for you. If you can't solve the problem, then don't solve it. Lazy governance and inaction are also a manifestation of political achievement. Anyway, you have accumulated a lot of political achievements by clearing out bandits and arresting the Wu family. The higher-ups have also noticed you. As long as you reach the end of your term, promotion is a foregone conclusion.

Besides, you have achieved such results at such a young age, and there are many people who are jealous of you, so what you need to do now is to maintain stability and keep a low profile. When the organization assigns you a new position and you can govern a region, it will not be too late to implement this plan. "
