Liang Fengping shook his head and said: "Coastal cities are developed and fun, but it is also very difficult to make achievements." ”

Gu Heng said: "Actually, you think so, it's not right, coastal cities are at the forefront of reform and opening up, and the policies and regulations there are more standardized and flexible, and it is much easier to attract investment, which is more conducive to making greater achievements. ”

Liang Fengping said: "If Li Yi's level is a little higher, I will suggest that he go to the coastal provinces, those places, people who stand tall, can better dominate the industry and culture of a place, as for the general small officials, when they get there, they can only carry out the dead task according to the plan of their predecessors, basically there is no greater breakthrough, it is nothing more than to attract investment and introduce more and larger enterprises." ”

Gu Heng said: "The coastal area is good! The economy over there is developed, high, and stable for more than three or five years, and you can go up to the next level. ”

Liang Fengping said: "I think it's better to have the mainland, although the mainland cities are poor now, they contain infinite vitality. In order for the country to develop in an all-round way, it is far from enough to rely on the opening up of the coastal areas alone, and the gap between the rich and the poor in the eastern and western regions must also be lowered. Therefore, sooner or later, the country will realize the importance of the development of the western region to the country, and Li Yi's current visit to the western region is definitely the right move! ”

When Li Yi heard Liang Fengping say the words "large-scale development of the western region", his expression became serious.

Not bad! It is the large-scale development of the western region!

Li Yi is a reborn, although he did not care about politics in his previous life, and he lived abroad as an adult, he is no stranger to this word.

The great development of the western region! This word is all too familiar!

It's not started yet, then. It shouldn't be far off!

Liang Fengping could actually think of this level. It shows the wisdom and depth of this person!

"I also think the west has a better chance." Li Yi said slowly: "The western region is really important to the country. The polarization between the rich and the poor has now manifested itself very seriously, and the state will no longer implement a new strategy, the people of the western region. It will be farther and farther away from a happy well-off life. As an aspiring young man, I don't want to go to the coastal areas to add icing on the cake, but I would rather go to the west to send charcoal in the snow. If my ingenuity can make a little contribution to the western region and lead some people out of poverty, then I will have no regrets in my official career. ”

Gu Heng frowned and said, "Li Yi." Do you know how your grandfather arranged for you? ”

Li Yi said: "I probably know. ”

Gu Heng said: "As long as you hone in the central ministries and commissions for two or three years, it will be a matter of course, and you can be smoothly promoted to a deputy ministerial-level cadre." Get out there. That's the deputy leader of a province! This is your fastest path to promotion. I think you're still going to follow this path. It's relatively smooth and easy. ”

Shangguan Jin smiled beside him: "If you want to have fun, don't be an official, anyway, Li Yi is not short of money, with his wife, wouldn't it be more fun to travel around Shijie every day?" ”

Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Go cook, we're all hungry." ”

Shangguan said cautiously: "If you can't catch chickens, you can't make vegetables, and you can't eat dry rice, do you eat them?" ”

Li Yi said: "So slamming the door? Forget it, I'm in for a treat, let's go eat outside! ”

Shangguan said solemnly: "I'm just waiting for your words!" Hey, Li Yi, where did you hide the little lotus and little lotus in the golden house? I want to play with them! ”

Li Yi glanced at her: "Where did I get some golden house?" The two of them, hehe, I arranged for them to work, they are at work! ”

Shangguan said solemnly: "Where do they work?" I blame them. ”

Li Yi said: "If you miss them, it's easy, I'll just ask them to come over and play with you." I can accompany you every day. ”

Shangguan said solemnly: "Okay! ”

Li Yi said: "However, you can open the salary!" ”

Shangguan pouted: "Boring! ”

Gu Heng continued: "Xiao Jin, don't interrupt, Xiao Yi, your grandfather's arrangement is indeed very haode, you don't want to make extraneous branches, live in the capital for a few years with peace of mind, and by the way, give birth to the child and bring it up to one or two years old, if you still want to go down at that time, it will not be too late to go out to work!" If you don't want to go down, just develop in the capital, it's just as promising! ”

Li Yi said: "Old Gu, I know the good intentions of you and your grandfather. But I have my plans. ”

Gu Heng said: "You think about it carefully, if you go to Xichuan, what will Lin Yatou do?" Do I want to go down with you? You don't even have children yet! ”

Li Yi did want to stay in the capital for a period of time and give birth to the child by the way, but he and Lin Xin have been together for more than half a year, and Lin Xin's stomach was stunned and did not react.

Lin Xin is also anxious, but this kind of thing, no matter how anxious you are, it is useless. Li Yi can be sure that he has no problem, otherwise how could he give birth to Li Haoran? Lin Xin went to check her body and didn't find any problems, and now she doesn't know which link went wrong!

The child has not yet been conceived, but the women in the family have come one after another, first Hua Xiaorui, then Guo Xiaoling, and now although Rao Ruoxi is in South Africa, she will come back soon.

Now, Li Yi really understands that women have too much trouble and pain. He would love to work in the provinces and cities below.

Liang Fengping said: "It is not advisable to stay in the ministry and develop it, without the experience of governing a place or even a province, how can you know the great truth of governing a large country like cooking a small fresh food in the future?" And how can you navigate a higher level of political struggle? ”

Gu Heng saw that Liang Fengping was targeting him everywhere, and he was slightly angry, and said, "You really think of yourself as Li Yi's military advisor?" Let me tell you, when I was a strategist for Li Yi, you didn't know where it was! ”

Liang Fengping smiled slightly and said, "Old Gu, don't be angry!" We are all for Li Yi, as long as it is conducive to his development, no matter whose suggestion it is, then we should follow it, do you say this is the truth? ”

Li Yi also smiled: "Old Gu, I know that everyone is for my good, so let's do it." Call it a day. We'll not talk about it for now, and I'll make a decision after discussing it with my grandfather. How is it? ”

Gu Heng said: "Okay, that's how it should be done." He believed that Old Man Li would naturally be on his side.

Li Yi invited everyone to a nearby hotel for dinner. Then arranged Liang Fengping's accommodation, and drove to Mr. Li's residence.

Since starting a family, Li Yi has come here less often, unless he comes back for something.

Every time he came back and saw his lonely grandfather, Li Yi felt deeply sorry. He once proposed to accompany his grandfather to travel around Shijie, but Mr. Li did not agree. Old man Li said that he was old and didn't want to toss. He stayed in his own house until he died.

When Li Yi heard his grandfather say the word death, an unspeakable sourness welled up in his heart.

No matter how great the heroes are, it is inevitable that this day will come! Life is a death. Autumn of grass and trees. How short-lived. In a limited life, we should cherish all the beauty of love, family affection, and friendship. Love others and love yourself, and be tolerant of others and tolerate yourself.

Old Man Li has a calm face, what haven't you seen the people who came over during the war years? He has witnessed the deaths of thousands of comrades, so why is he afraid of his own century-old limit?

"Xiao Yi is back!" When Old Man Li saw his good grandson, a kind smile appeared on his face.

"Grandpa!" Li Yi walked over, sat down beside him, and said, "Is your body okay?" ”

Old Man Li patted Li Yi's arm and said, "Okay." I won't leave without seeing your son marry a daughter-in-law! ”

Li Yi wanted to laugh, but he didn't laugh, he was beating the drum in his heart, should he tell his grandfather about Li Haoran? It's good that he can have a solace when he gets old!

"Why did you think about coming back to see me today?" Old Man Li saw that Li Yi looked worried, so he asked.

Li Yi put away his thoughts and said, "Grandpa, I have a question that I want to discuss with you. ”

Old Man Li smiled: "My old man, my brain is useless, if you have any problems, you should go to your uncle to discuss them." ”

Li Yi said: "Grandpa, what do you think of our country's development strategy?" ”

Old Man Li smiled and waved his hand, and said, "The country's development strategy? This is too big, right? If you have any suggestions, you can report them to the central leaders, or write some articles and publish them for economists and sociologists to discuss. ”

Li Yi said with a smile: "Grandpa, the historical existence and excessive expansion of the development gap between China's eastern and western regions has become an overall problem that has plagued China's healthy economic and social development for a long time. I believe that supporting the development and construction of the western region and realizing the coordinated development of the eastern and western regions should become an important principle of our party's leadership over economic work and should also become an important strategic task in China's modernization drive. ”

Old Man Li's loose eyelids suddenly opened, and he tilted his head slightly, as if thinking about Li Yi's words.

Li Yi knows that although his grandfather always says that he is old, in fact, his heart understands better than anyone else!

"The western part of our country accounts for a quarter of the country's population. However, the gross national product accounts for only 15 percent of the gross domestic product, which shows how poor and backward the western region is. However, the area of the western region accounts for more than 70 percent of the country, and the western region is rich in natural resources, has great market potential, and has an important strategic location. Due to natural, historical, social, and other reasons, the economic development of the western region is relatively backward, and the per capita GDP is only two-thirds of the national average and less than half of the average level of the eastern region. Li Yi spoke eloquently, he has a deep understanding of the country's political and social situation, and at this moment, the head is the way.

Old Man Li nodded frequently and said, "You're right! It is somewhat unreasonable that most of the western regions are old revolutionary areas, from which we have laid down the world, but let the people in the old areas there live in poverty! ”

Li Yi said: "Therefore, I have an idea that the state should attach importance to the development of the western region and should speed up the pace of the development of the western region!" ”

Old Man Li said: "Hmm! Yes, this issue can be submitted to the central government for discussion. ”

Li Yi said with a smile: "In order to support the development of the western region, I want to invite Ying to work in the western region!" ”

Old Man Li raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay! You've been waiting for me here! ”

Li Yi said: "Grandpa, you often praise me, saying that I am a talented and capable young man, and people like me should go to the place where the motherland needs me the most, and dedicate my talents and blood to the poor people there." Grandpa, you also came all the way from the western region to the capital, and the blood and lives of your comrades-in-arms were sprinkled on that hot land, if the founding of the People's Republic of China has been going on for decades, but the living standards of the people there have still not been greatly improved, shouldn't we serve them and build a beautiful home for them? ”

Li Yi's words seemed to touch a certain heartstring of Old Man Li, he stretched out his dry hand, wiped the corners of his eyes, and said, "Hearing you say this reminds me of wanting to go out for a walk." It seems that I haven't been to the old revolutionary base for a long time, and I don't know how the people there are living now. ”

Li Yi said: "Grandpa, I still know the situation over there, several old revolutionary areas in the west, the conditions are very difficult, most of the people over there live on farmland and mountains, look at God's face to eat, most of the family has no money and property left, and the younger people are all going south and north to do work." Most of the tens of millions of impoverished people in our country are located in the western region. Some people even have a problem with food and clothing. ”

Old Man Li groaned: "You have such lofty ambitions, I very much agree. But if you go to work in the west, this matter is still to be discussed, and what about it, you have to wait until you give birth to the child, right? ”

Li Yi said: "Grandpa, I won't go to a very remote place, just go to Mianzhou City in Xichuan." ”

Old Man Li smiled: "Mianzhou? Hehe, your grandma is from there! ”

Li Yi smiled: "Really? It's really the first time I've heard of it! Then I'm going to go and see my grandmother's hometown. I want to build my grandmother's hometown into a prosperous city like a big coastal city! ”

Old Man Li patted Li Yi on the shoulder and said, "Yes, go ahead!" ”

Li Yi said: "Thank you grandpa for your understanding." ”

Old Man Li said: "It's okay to go, but before you go, you give birth to my great-grandson first!" ”

Li Yi sighed and said, "I'll do my best." ”

Old Man Li said: "It's not like you can do your best alone, you have to ask Lin Yatou to work with you!" ”

Li Yi was cold, and chatted with his grandfather about other things.

At the same time, Li Yi also sketched out in his heart a general plan for the large-scale development of the western region, and wanted to talk to Chief Jiang Zhaonan about it.
