Reborn in 1976, teach him how to be an official

Tai Zhengyang thought carefully for a moment, straightened up, and replied, "Old leader, why do we need to carry out reform and opening up?"

"Isn't it because our production is so backward that the people are living such a hard life?"

"After the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee, we implemented the contract responsibility system, and within a year or two, we solved the food problem in rural areas. This was a huge step forward."

"You're familiar with Zhennan's situation. It's always been remote and backward, with inconvenient transportation and a literacy rate far below the national average. It's also a province on wartime duty. It wasn't until last year, with the completion of the Aegis Line defense project spearheaded by Comrade Liu Hongyi, that the border situation was essentially stabilized. Only then could the three border regions, eight counties, and millions of people finally settle down and engage in production."

"A notable achievement now is that the garrison troops can all be supplied with food, vegetables, and meat locally."

"This would have been unimaginable in the past."

"Most of the troops' daily necessities have to be shipped in from outside. Given the transportation conditions in Zhennan, supplying so many troops with food, vegetables, and meat puts enormous pressure on both the railway and highway departments. The transportation of other supplies must give way to this."

"After completely resolving this supply issue last year, the pressure on the railway and highway departments was finally relieved, freeing up transport capacity to transport other production materials."

"That's the tangible benefit of the policy shift."

Chen Keping nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with his statement.

The top leaders have always been very concerned about the situation on the Zhennan and Tiannan fronts.

"Comrade Liu Hongyi graduated from Qinghua University last year. Comrade Qi Sen called me specifically to discuss bringing him to the Academy of Sciences to serve as Comrade Qi Sen's full-time secretary."

"I didn't agree."

"I asked him to go to Zhennan and make him the secretary of the Zhuang'an County Party Committee. My goal was to have him create a model county for Zhennan. At the beginning, I actually had the same idea as Comrade Qi Sen. I wanted him to be my full-time secretary and give me advice. But then I thought that just having him as a secretary might not be enough to bring out his full talents."

Chen Keping raised his eyebrows slightly and said in surprise, "Oh, so that's what you think?"

"I was wondering why Comrade Xiao Liu, such a talented scientist, wasn't placed in a research unit to continue to develop his research talent, instead of being sent to Zhennan to become a county party secretary..."

"Old leader, Comrade Liu Hongyi is not just a scientist, he is also a management expert and a master of production and construction..."

Liu Hongyi hurriedly bowed, with a shameful and humble smile on his face.

Fortunately, he has seen big scenes before. If it were someone else, he would be sweating profusely now.

"Old Chief, Chuzhou's production is so successful now that it's become a national experimental field. This is all thanks to the contributions of Comrade Liu Hongyi, who served as a senior advisor to Comrade Ai Gaofeng and Comrade Liu Chuan... It can be said that a large part of Chuzhou's overall development plan was proposed by him. I mainly took advantage of the old principal's position. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have been able to get him..."

At this point, Tai Zhengyang laughed.

Liu Hongyi quickly said, "Secretary Tai, you are too kind. I am a Party member and cadre. No matter where I work, I must obey the organization's arrangements."

This is a more clever way of saying it.

It was as if he acknowledged Tai Zhengyang's praise for him.

Regarding the definition of "genius", it is difficult for Comrade Liu Hongyi himself to refute it, as the facts are there.

Chen Keping nodded and said, "Well, go on."

"Yes."

"Old Commander, Comrade Liu Hongyi has been in Zhuang'an for five months now, and the situation in Zhuang'an has begun to change dramatically. A large number of factories have been built, and a provincial-scale Chuzhou Commodity Wholesale City has been established."
