A professor's rebirth: I entered Tsinghua University in 1977.

Shortly after the Spring Festival, Liu Chuan'an's new position was confirmed.

Just as Liu Hongyi expected.

Liu Chuan was appointed as the secretary and director of the Chuxin County Party Committee and the first political commissar of the County People's Armed Forces Department, officially becoming the top leader of Chuxin County.

This appointment caused some minor fluctuations in the Chuzhou area.

But most people are fine with it.

Liu Chuan’s qualifications have long been met.

If it weren't for the delay in the past few years, with Ai Gaofeng's high regard for him, he should have been promoted to a county-level leading position long ago. Of course, in everyone's mind, the top leader of Chuxin County is slightly different from the top leaders of other counties.

In other words, the top leader of Chuxin County is considered a "quasi" regional leader.

As long as Liu Chuan makes some achievements in this position, he will most likely be incorporated into the regional leadership team.

Liu Chuan's first priority after taking office as Secretary of the Chuxin County Party Committee was not to build a factory, but to restore the public security, procuratorial and judicial organs.

Specifically, it means recruiting back those who were previously laid off and sent home.

Compared with before, the staff of Chuxin County's public security, procuratorial and judicial organs have been reduced by more than 70%, and have become complete "shell units", resulting in the huge Chengguan Police Station having only 14 staff members in total.

As the first county in the region, Chuxin County and its suburbs have a population of nearly 50,000.

The daily security management of these 50,000 people depends on a mere fourteen people. You can imagine how difficult it is.

Why are we in such a hurry to restore the public security, procuratorial and judicial organs?

The reason is very simple. During the Spring Festival, several serious criminal cases occurred in Chengguan Town.

On the 28th day of the 12th lunar month, Liu Hongyi's suggestion to clear out the educated youth who returned to the city without permission during the Spring Festival was ultimately not adopted by Ai Gaofeng.

Ai Gaofeng is a sentimental person. He always feels that it is a bit unreasonable to make such a big fuss during the Spring Festival, and he is afraid of being criticized.

For some things, we only realize the importance of prevention after serious consequences occur.

Ai Gaofeng did not originally completely reject Liu Hongyi's suggestion, but planned to take a more compromising approach and start cleaning after the Spring Festival and the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month.

I think it shouldn't matter in just a dozen days.

Unexpectedly, during the Spring Festival, serious criminal cases occurred frequently.

The most serious incident was a street brawl between two groups of young people.

It was no ordinary brawl, but rather the use of machetes, butcher knives, kitchen knives and other weapons, which caused blood and flesh to fly everywhere. The consequences were extremely serious - two young people were hacked to death on the spot, three others were seriously injured, and more than a dozen were slightly injured.

After investigation, it was found that these two groups of young people were not just hooligans, many of them were educated youth who sneaked back to the city.

Another vicious case involved a female worker who was returning from a relative's home at night when she was abducted by three young men on the way, dragged to a remote place and gang-raped.

Of these three young men, two were educated youth who had sneaked back to the city, and one had returned last year due to illness. They had been playing together since childhood. It just so happened that the three brothers had a few drinks together that day, and under the influence of alcohol, they committed such a serious crime.

When Ai Gaofeng received the report, he was furious, but then he realized Liu Hongyi's amazing "foresight".

That kid seemed to have anticipated all this would happen and even proposed effective countermeasures. Unfortunately, I hesitated for a moment and didn't listen, which resulted in such a serious public security problem.

So Ai Gaofeng organized people to carry out a comprehensive cleanup of the educated youth who had returned to Chuxin County without permission and "repatriated" them all. At the same time, he instructed Liu Chuan to immediately "rebuild" the public security, procuratorial and judicial organs and strengthen public security management forces.

The security situation in the capital county of the region is so bad, one can imagine the situation in other counties and towns.

Ai Gaofeng had no doubt that some "small cases" were simply covered up by the lower levels and not reported.

Afterwards, Ai Gaofeng wrote a report and submitted it to the Provincial Party Committee in the name of the Chuzhou Prefectural Party Committee. The key point was that if the educated youth were not promptly resettled after returning to the city, serious problems would arise.

This report written by Ai Gaofeng immediately appeared on the desk of Comrade Bian Zhicheng, the first secretary of the Provincial Party Committee.

Comrade Bian Zhicheng is relatively young, less than 50 years old, with black hair and a square face. Among the first secretaries of provinces across the country, he is considered a "young and vigorous" person in his prime.

Secretary Bian Zhicheng attached great importance to Ai Gaofeng's report. He put on black-framed glasses and read it carefully.

After a moment, he leaned back slightly, lost in thought.

In the afternoon, this report appeared on the desks of provincial party secretaries and standing committee members.

Bian Zhicheng asked all comrades in the provincial party committee to take a look and express their opinions.

The reason for being so cautious is that Ai Gaofeng included some "private goods" in this report.

Ai Gaofeng pointed out that it is totally insufficient to rely solely on the existing system to accommodate so many educated youth returning to the city.

Chuzhou's industrial base is weak, with few factories to begin with, and most of them are fully staffed or even overstaffed, making it difficult to assign more people to them. Even if they were reluctantly assigned to them, they would simply be redundant, with no real work to do, which would only further increase the financial burden.

Therefore, the only solution is to build a new factory.

All the factories mentioned by Liu Hongyi were written in the report.

At the same time, we also need to build farms to raise pigs and chickens.

Bian Zhicheng was surprised at Ai Gaofeng's "radicalism". Old Ai was really brave. He had just resumed his post for a few months, but he dared to launch such a "satellite".

Aren’t you afraid of making mistakes?

But Bian Zhicheng was a pragmatic person. He felt that what Ai Gaofeng said made sense, and the products produced by the factories he proposed were mainly for earning foreign exchange.

It seems to be a way.

Bian Zhicheng didn't want to make the decision on such a big matter alone, so he forwarded it to all members of the team and asked everyone to express their opinions.

Two days later, a pile of reports returned to Bian Zhicheng's desk again.

The team members attached great importance to the first secretary's request, and everyone signed their own opinions.

As Bian Zhicheng expected, most people were against it.

The one who opposed it most strongly wrote directly on the report: What does Chuzhou region want to do?

Another accused Ai Gaofeng of alarmist rhetoric, exaggeration, and generalization, saying he seriously underestimated the ideological awareness of educated youth and treated individual cases as a common phenomenon.

But there are also a few comrades who agree.

It is believed that the excessive number of educated youth returning to the city and the inability to effectively resettle them will indeed lead to serious social security problems, which cannot be ignored.

Ai Gaofeng’s suggestion to find a way to resettle them is a relatively correct idea.

As for how to accommodate them, we can consider it later.

Looking at the comments from his comrades, Bian Zhicheng frowned for a long time and said to himself, "If you don't argue, you won't understand. Since there are differences, let's hold a meeting..."
