Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

But if he wanted to, the news would spread everywhere immediately, letting everyone know what to do.

The key point is that no one complained at all.

Even those below him, whenever they heard him get angry, it meant the matter was over.

You can't go any further; this is a ladder left for you by the higher-ups.

Go down the ladder, honestly do your job well, implement the plans, and work hard on the basic infrastructure, then build your own house first.

Stop thinking about money all the time. We've given you so much autonomy, and land sales have been liberalized.

In any case, we should produce some results.

I gave you all the same answer sheet, but you insisted on submitting a blank one and still wanted someone to give you a red-inked review.

How can it be? !

"And the other thing?"

This was just a routine report; that wasn't what he instructed.

“I have already sent people to collect information. There are many rumors circulating among the people in the Red Alliance. I believe that we can find some clues based on these rumors.”

Hearing her say that, Yang Jianguo smiled with satisfaction: "Good, you know how to follow the clues and work from the bottom up, very good!"

"Some people stand too high and look too far, thus neglecting whether the ground beneath their feet is clean or not."

To bring down the Lü family, we need solid evidence that is not only presentable but also withstands scrutiny and examination.

The other party was no weakling either; Yang Jianguo wanted to overturn the efforts of several generations of the other party and uproot the Lü family.

That would mean taking their entire family's lives, and the other party would definitely fight back desperately.

Any means are possible.

Even if someone were to carry out an assassination, Yang Jianguo wouldn't be surprised.

However, there's no need to worry about home security.

On the surface, it seems like only the head chef, Ma Wei, or Fang Tong work in two shifts.

In fact, there were quite a few bodyguards stationed around the area.

Furthermore, as long as the Lü family isn't insane, they won't touch his family members.

That's the bottom line. Once that line is crossed, Yang Jianguo won't need to intervene.

Those who were originally on his side would choose to kill him first and throw him out to quell everyone's anger.

Otherwise, it won't just be the Third Elder's faction that takes action then.

Rules are made by everyone together.

If someone breaks the rules today, the same thing might happen to you tomorrow.

There's no way you can guard against thieves for a thousand days if you're a thief for a thousand days.

Therefore, the rules cannot be broken.

Whoever crosses the line will be attacked by the masses.

There's even less need to worry about Yang Jianguo's safety.

With his physique, he might not be considered a superhuman, but he was far stronger than the average person.

If I get shot but it doesn't hit a vital spot, I shouldn't die!

Ultimately, the threat posed by the Lü family was more important to him than his own safety.

As long as we can get rid of this cancerous tumor, the Lü family, everything is worthwhile.

In this world, there will always be someone who creates hope.

They could be grassroots police officers, border guards, anti-drug heroes fighting in the darkness, soldiers rushing to rescue and provide disaster relief, officers leading the way into floodwaters, or firefighters going against the tide to rush towards disaster.

Why can't it be him, Yang Jianguo?!

No one's life is more valuable than anyone else's.

"Sir, how about I call Fang Tong back, and the two of us can come and follow you together?"

In the co-pilot's seat, Ma Wei suggested reverting to a two-person shift system.

Yang Jianguo's wandering thoughts returned to reality, and he laughed heartily, "No need, making such a show of force will only make people think I'm scared!"

Yang Jianguo wasn't worried about being perceived as afraid by the other party.

But if his own people also feel that he, the leader, is afraid, then the impact will be enormous.

He was the courage of the army; his courage was broken before the battle even began.

How to fight this battle?

For several days in a row, Yang Jianguo went to get off work and handled work-related matters as usual.

Special funds were approved one by one.

The entire ministry was calm, but everyone felt the atmosphere was getting increasingly tense.

At another macroeconomic conference, Yang Jianguo submitted a new report.

It is said to be related to the economy, and there is some connection.

But if you ask how much they have in common, it seems like they're not really related.

However, the meeting was chaired by the Third Elder. "Jianguo, you should deliver your report yourself."

"Alright, Third Elder, leaders and comrades present."

"The core of my report today can be summed up in just two words—catching ghosts."

As Lu Xun once said, if an animal can eat a lot but doesn't get fat, then it must have parasites in its stomach.

As soon as Yang Jianguo started speaking, someone's expression suddenly changed drastically.

This isn't about economic regulation; it's clearly a confrontation where swords are drawn and the true intentions are revealed.

If people are hardworking but cannot become wealthy, then that society must have vampires.

Today, I'm going to talk about exposing the demons hiding among us.

Bring him to justice and subject him to the judgment of the people.

Catch ghosts!

Even after the meeting ended, those two words remained heavy on everyone's hearts.

What is Yang Jianguo up to? Is he trying to launch another self-revolution?

Has he forgotten all the lessons of the past?

And what about the Third Elder? How could he be allowed to act recklessly? The economy had finally started to improve.

If this is done, everything will be in complete chaos!

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, some immediately changed course to report to the Grand Elder.

Meanwhile, news from the meeting was relayed nationwide by telephone.

Chapter 739 is largely unsubstantiated; we cannot rely solely on X theory.

Catch ghosts?

At this critical juncture, should we continue with economic development, or should we repeat the practices of the past?

Suddenly, they launched a large-scale struggle session, turning against themselves.

Then the country will fall into chaos again.

Nowadays, no one can simply issue an order to put all the problems back on track.

If things get out of hand again, it could really cause a big problem.

However, after everyone listened to the detailed report and understood the core of what Yang Jianguo said,

I learned that he wasn't talking about starting a self-revolution or rebelling against himself.

It was simply a matter of removing corrupt, decadent, and degenerate elements from the revolutionary ranks.

They should be brought to justice and given a fair trial by the organization and the government.

While pursuing economic development, we must not forget to strictly discipline ourselves.

We cannot forget principles and regulations just because we want to develop the economy.

This is unacceptable, and even more so, a disgrace.

People like this, no matter how capable they are or how much they can accomplish.

Regardless of their economic contributions, they should all be sent to jail to reflect on their actions.

"Everything should have a bottom line. Anything that crosses that bottom line, no matter how small, is a big deal and cannot be ignored."

"Some people nowadays are obsessed with economics and money above all else."

“In the past, people looked forward to everything; now, they look forward to everything.”

Moral decay, ideological corruption, and a chaotic social atmosphere—it's a complete mess.

At this point, it's time to apply the brakes to the "economic train," allowing everyone to slow down and focus on getting the work done.

Instead of just picking it up and putting it back in its nest without knowing how to use it, it's better to let it rot in the nest.

"I've read the latest economic report, and it's heavily exaggerated."

slap~

Before Yang Jianguo could finish speaking, the Minister of Commerce slammed his fist on the table and stood up: "Minister Yang, you're wrong. As your direct supervisor, how come I don't see any exaggeration?"

Or do you think I'm falsifying documents and not doing my job as minister properly?

Yang Jianguo remained completely calm, casually picking up his teacup and blowing on the tea leaves. "Sizzle~"

After taking a couple of sips of tea and putting the cup down, he calmly said, "It's not that you're not competent enough, nor that you're dishonest; it's just that you lack grassroots experience, and there are some problems that you can't see from your position."

What do you mean I have no grassroots work experience? Oh, you're the only one with ability here, Yang Jianguo, you're the only one with rich work experience.

Or, you could do all the work for everyone else.

"For example, with transactions based on receipts, do you, Minister Xu, know how much loss there is?"

Yang Jianguo pointed out a problem that everyone knows but no one wants to talk about.

The other ministers could only wryly smile to themselves, thinking, 'This Yang Jianguo is really a master at setting off firecrackers; he just goes wherever the explosions are loudest!'

"Let's talk about attracting investment. Science parks and industrial centers sound impressive, but they don't say a word about what they actually do."

"The funding is also inadequate; on the contrary, the local government and county provide support such as loans and policies."

"The agreed-upon investment funds have yet to materialize, but the report lists them all. Isn't that just padding?"

"In addition, the proportion of land revenue has been increasing year by year. Many projects that were originally halfway done have been delayed for one year, two years, two years, three years due to the lack of policy implementation, which has dragged down perfectly good projects."

"But this wasn't mentioned in the report either. Does this mean the figures are inflated? Who will bear the losses? How much were lost? And how many people lost their jobs as a result?"

The problems Yang Jianguo mentioned were all social issues he had seen in his previous life, problems that were all too obvious to be true.

However, to other people, it's not so simple.

How much effort did he, an engineer, actually put into economic research?

They often go down to conduct research, ostensibly to inspect industrial projects, but in reality, they probably use it all to investigate the local economic development.

"Minister Yang, the problems you mentioned may exist, but we can't completely deny the achievements we've made, can we?"

"Nobody said we should completely reject it. When did I ever say that?"

"What I mean is, we can't focus solely on economics, and even less so on housing. Can't we also consider the different circumstances of each region when developing the economy, such as cultural relics or local culinary specialties?"

“We need to integrate these with the economy and forge our own unique path, instead of blindly following the crowd and building a science park every day.”

"Seeing that the gas station next door was making money, I built my own gas station, and then gas stations were built next to it as well."

"Even if all these gas stations are built, will there be enough cars to fill up? Will there be another price war, and in the end, we'll all die together?"

"I think Minister Xu, this isn't something I made up."
