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

Hao Jinlong was very satisfied with the result.

"Okay, it's passed unanimously. I officially announce that starting next year, Andong City will follow Andong County's example and fully promote dry rice planting technology. As for the technical issues, I'll trouble Secretary He to pay more attention to them."

He Yuzhu heard this and immediately patted his chest and said,

"Mayor Hao, and all the leaders, rest assured that I will spare no effort in teaching and promoting it."

When Hao Jinlong heard He Yuzhu's answer, he smiled happily, and then he changed the subject.

"In that case, the plan to promote the cultivation of upland rice next year will be decided for the time being. Now let's discuss the second matter, which is the famine in Heishan County."

Except for He Yuzhu, everyone present looked embarrassed, as if they had known about this for a long time.

Seeing the confusion on He Yuzhu's face, Hao Jinlong repeated the whole story again.

"Comrades, Heishan County was originally a high-yield county in Andong City.

Because of the erroneous leadership and command of our former municipal party secretary Lu Liangping, he encouraged the reform of large-scale conversion of Heishan County to planting upland rice with immature technology, which caused serious consequences.

In addition, due to the immature technology of these dry rice, the local people had no harvest, and the former municipal party secretary Lu Liangping privately used the local disaster relief grain without discussing it at a municipal party committee meeting or obtaining approval from the provincial party committee.

But these grains are only for emergency use after all. For the entire Heishan County, they are just a drop in the bucket, so now we are facing a very serious problem.

If we leave Heishan County alone, it will provoke a civil uprising. But if we do, then the food in our Andong City stockpile may not be enough. Some of the stockpile is military reserve food that cannot be moved. So I called everyone here today to discuss countermeasures. "

When everyone present heard what Hao Jinlong said, they looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

After all, this involves the issue of food. If there had been a good harvest in previous years, the food might have been produced by all regions squeezing together and distributing it evenly. But now all regions are short of food, so where is the surplus food for the people in Heishan County? Moreover, this is not a small number. It involves the livelihoods of more than 20 ordinary people. How can it be handled so easily?

Seeing that no one on the scene responded, Hao Jinlong immediately called out the names one by one. He first called out He Yuzhu's name.

"Secretary He, do you have any good ideas?"

When He Yuzhu saw that his father-in-law took the initiative to call his name, he knew that the old man hoped that he could come out and help him through this difficult time.

When He Yuzhu thought of this, he had an idea.

"Mayor Hao, I think since it is our government's fault, we should pay for it. This year, our Andong County has a bumper grain harvest, so it is okay to allocate a small portion of it.

The food shortage in Heishan County can be met from us, but it is a loan and must be repaid next year when the harvest is good!"

When Hao Jinlong heard that He Yuzhu was willing to help, he was naturally overjoyed. As for the borrowing and repayment issues he mentioned, that was no big deal.

"Secretary He, you are a man of great integrity and you know when to advance and when to retreat. Okay, I'll do as you say."

He Yuzhu's actions made all the municipal party committee standing committee members present look at him with admiration. They felt that He Yuzhu was not only capable but also decisive, and that he was a good official who was dedicated to serving the people.

Afterwards, Hao Jinlong raised a few more questions at the meeting and ended it.

After the meeting, Hao Jinlong signaled He Yuzhu to follow him to the mayor's office.

After He Yuzhu followed his father-in-law Hao Jinlong to the mayor's office, he found a seat and sat down.

Hao Jinlong was not in a hurry. He first made a pot of tea and then put it on the table.

"Zhu Zi, come and have a cup of tea to moisten your mouth. You've just been in a meeting for the whole morning, so your mouth must be dry."

He Yuzhu nodded upon hearing this.

"Yes, Dad, there is indeed one thing. You are very thoughtful."

The two drank a few sips of tea and rested for a while.

Hao Jinlong was the first to speak.

"Zhu Zi, do you find it strange that you came here today? Why am I sitting in the position of the municipal party secretary Lu Liangping?"

When He Yuzhu heard what Hao Jinlong said, he answered without hesitation: "Yes, Dad, is this Lu Liangping already dead?"

Facing He Yuzhu's question, Hao Jinlong directly explained the truth.

"Zhu Zi, to be honest, it's all thanks to you that you informed me of this news in advance, otherwise Lu Liangping would have really escaped.

According to the investigation conducted by the people I sent down, in order to cover up his own mistakes, this guy wanted to directly push all the charges and responsibilities onto Heishan County Mayor Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng was no fool. He chose to surrender to me directly. In addition, I also took the initiative and called Yang Kun, the director of the security bureau, and asked him to greet some leaders in the province.

In addition, I reported this matter to Ma, the executive director of the provincial party committee, and he immediately reported it back.”

Hao Jinlong paused here, took a sip of tea, and continued talking about the previous topic.

"Zhu Zi, Lu Liangping never dreamed that I would be quicker than him. Just when he was preparing to make up for his loss, the next day the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection sent someone to investigate the matter.

You know what happened. Lü Liangping is finished. The organization has asked me to temporarily take over the post of municipal party secretary. Whether I can remove the word "acting" depends on you."

He Yuzhu was quite puzzled when he heard what Hao Jinlong said.

"Dad, look at me? I don't seem to be that capable, do I?"

Hao Jinlong heard this and waved his hand.

"Zhu Zi, you are too modest. You are already famous now. The achievements and deeds of Andong County have been reported.

A group of leaders of the provincial party committee have specifically asked to see you. Tomorrow you will come with me to Yangshen City to attend the provincial party committee meeting.

I have another good news for you. The higher-ups are already paying attention to you. You have a bright future ahead of you."

He Yuzhu was mixed with joy and sorrow when he heard the news. He was happy because it seemed that there would be no obstacles for him to be promoted to deputy director in the future. But he was worried because people are afraid of becoming famous just like pigs are afraid of getting fat. He had joined the 38th Army back then, so it was self-evident what the elements were. If he were to return to that era, he would definitely be the first to be caught.
