Rebirth in 1980, the rise of the golden age

In one month, Dalinzi and Long Xu established a lot of connections.

Although the relocation of the bakery has not been decided yet, to outsiders, it seems that this matter is becoming more and more certain.

Because Dalinzi and Long Xu have already started looking for land to build a factory.

This made Zhong Yuanbing, who had been following their movements, even more confused. He was not sure what Li Youcai was up to.

Ding-ling-ling... The phone on the table rang, and Zhong Yuanbing immediately picked up the call.

"Yuan Bing, come to my place."

"Okay, uncle, I'll be there right now." Zhong Yuanbing didn't have time to think about it. He put down the phone, put on his clothes, and went straight to the county government.

It is now the end of the year, and Zhou Wei’s progress has been delayed for so long, it is very likely that it will be announced during this period of time.

Arriving at the county government, Zhong Yuanbing went straight to his uncle's office.

"Uncle, you're looking for me."

Zhou Wei was sitting in the office, studying a document. When he saw Zhong Yuanbing coming, he immediately put down the document in his hand.

"Sit down."

Zhong Yuanbing came and sat opposite Zhou Wei, behaving like a sensible child.

"What have you been doing lately? Several people from Taihe called me, asking if you were going to Taifa Development. The guesthouse is such a big piece of fat meat, but it's not enough for you to mess around. Why are you always asking about that Chunfeng bread?"

Zhong Yuanbing often called some of his connections in Taihe City. It was nothing once or twice, but after it happened many times, those who were cunning and thoughtful began to have other ideas. They all thought that Zhou Wei was behind it and was trying to figure out what was going on.

"I didn't do anything, I just asked."

"The factory manager of Chunfeng Bread and I are at odds. He's been making a fuss over in Taihe. I'm doing this just in case."

Zhong Yuanbing naturally couldn't say that he had his eyes on the other person's bakery and wanted to bring down Li Youcai so that he could seize the property that belonged to him.

After hearing Zhong Yuanbing say this, Zhou Wei's expression finally eased a little.

"Uncle, the position of county magistrate has been vacant for so long. Why hasn't there been any movement on recommending you for the position of county magistrate?" Zhong Yuanbing asked quietly.

"The situation in Taihe has changed. The new secretary is very overbearing. He was the one who stopped the appointment and insisted on delaying it until the new year."

"It's not just me, there are many people who are oppressed."

When Zhou Wei mentioned this matter, he felt depressed. The Municipal Party Committee Organization Department had already decided on his appointment as county magistrate. However, a proposal made by the new Secretary Bian at the Standing Committee meeting temporarily put the appointment of 32 cadres in Taihe City on hold.

This domineering behavior is very rare in the history of Taihe City.

"What does this new secretary want to do? Does he want to establish his own faction?" Zhong Yuanbing guessed.

Hearing Zhong Yuanbing's words, Zhou Wei frowned and immediately scolded, "Don't talk nonsense! I'm telling you, you'd better keep these words to yourself. If even a word of it gets out, it will ruin your family, don't you know that?"

Zhong Yuanbing was startled by Zhou Wei's stern look.

"There's no one else here, so I definitely won't say anything out loud."

Zhou Wei snorted coldly, "Hmph! Just so you know. I'm telling you, this Secretary Bian has connections in the province. His power is beyond the reach of people like me. If he really wants to establish his own faction, I wonder how many people would be willing to serve him."

"So you'd better keep your eyes open and never offend him, otherwise I will be implicated too!"

Zhou Wei's words made Zhong Yuanbing break out in a cold sweat, and he never dared to talk about Secretary Bian casually again.

Seeing that his nephew was frightened by him, Zhou Wei was satisfied and a smile appeared on his stern face.

"Here in Teng County, the emperor is far away. As long as you don't act too arrogant, you don't have to worry too much."

"I think the most likely reason he's holding back on the appointment is to flex his muscles to those in the municipal party committee. He's new, after all, and he wants to show off to those who aren't convinced by him."

Zhong Yuanbing twitched his face and cried, "Uncle, Director Gong told me that the Municipal Party Committee Guesthouse hasn't been moved yet because Secretary Bian won't allow it. If that's the case, I don't think there's any hope this year."

Zhong Yuanbing could smell the fragrance of the guesthouse, a piece of fat meat, from nearly a hundred kilometers away. However, after staring at it for so long, he just couldn't get a taste of it, which made Zhong Yuanbing feel anxious.

Zhou Wei had no choice but to say, "Wait."

"The New Year is coming soon. Have you prepared the money I asked you to prepare?" Zhou Wei asked.

Zhong Yuanbing nodded, and said with a bit of pain: "I've prepared everything, a total of 6 yuan, I will send it to my aunt tonight."

Zhou Wei showed a satisfied smile: "Don't be afraid of spending money. When your uncle becomes the county magistrate, are you still worried that you won't make more money?"

"I didn't." Although his heart was bleeding, Zhong Yuanbing still acted very happy.

After leaving the county government, Zhong Yuanbing went to his uncle's house that night carrying a box of canned fruit.

On January 1982, 1, a piece of news shocked the whole country.

The "Minutes of the National Rural Work Conference", Document No. 1982 of 1, clearly pointed out the need to accelerate agricultural development and establish an agricultural production responsibility system. Production projects suitable for individual dispersed labor can be contracted to laborers and households, while production projects requiring collaborative labor can be contracted to groups.

The release of this document also marked the official launch of the land reform that shocked the whole country!

In Taihe City, from the commune to the production team, there was almost no other content on the loudspeakers except for information about land reform policies.

A large group of members gathered in front of the stone mill in front of the Dongsheng Brigade headquarters.

Li Guanghu was wearing a thick cotton jacket, a brass pipe between his fingers, and a roe deer skin hat, standing in the crowd.

"Uncle Li, why does your cigarette smell so good? It's definitely not the Shandong leaf tobacco you used to smoke." A member who also liked smoking came up to Li Guanghu and said greedily.

"You have a pretty good nose, kid. This is some new tobacco leaves my son asked someone to get. They're called Golden Leaf."

Li Guanghu picked up the cigarette bag hanging on the eye bag pot.

The member skillfully took out a cigarette paper and said with an apologetic smile: "It's only with Uncle Li that I can get good cigarettes."

Li Guanghu poured him some, and the man couldn't wait to roll it into a cigarette, light it and start smoking.

"This cigarette is so delicious!"

"Uncle Li, the loudspeaker said that we'll all be responsible for contracting production to each household. That means we'll all be farming our own land."

“That’s what I heard.”

When the household contract responsibility system was implemented, some people were happy while others were worried.

Those families who used to rely on "eating from the same pot" and borrowing food when they had no food will definitely not be able to borrow food in the future. It has become inevitable that they will have no food to eat if they do not work.

In the brigade headquarters, Wang Jingui and Accountant Zhao walked out side by side.

"The branch secretary is out~!"

Accountant Zhao, holding documents, and Wang Jingui, holding a megaphone, stood on the millstone. "Everyone, be quiet! Let me tell you about this land reform!"
