The courtyard is deep, the old house of the Zheng family, the huge hall house, and the living room where the old man Zheng meets the guests.

No matter from which point of view, Zheng Fengyan is not like the red revolutionary in the eyes of the people, with long hair fluttering and fairy bones, quite like the old road in the mountains that are not often in the world, the spirit is vibrant, the eyes are like torches, as if they are still piercing the edge in the sky of history, because for the five or six million people in Qingzhou, Zheng Fengyan is a myth and legend, because for Zheng Fengyan, the deep historical regret can no longer be erased, he did not listen to the advice of the old chief, he limited his life footprints to the river, and even satisfied with the small world of Qingzhou, Therefore, on the day when he will close the coffin in the future, he will not be able to enjoy the title of party and state leader, and the title of xx fighter is already the apex, whether it is excellent or outstanding, it depends on whether these people in front of him have made a difference.

"These people in front of you" are actually not the three people sitting in front of them, although among them is his proud eldest son Zheng Shicheng, who copied him with his own template, so that he is more than half a hundred years old, and he has not been able to break out of Qingzhou, the third in command of the prefectural party committee, Secretary Fu in charge of the party and the masses, go out, maybe he can rise one or two steps, if he does not go out, he will always be two to three grades worse than his old son.

In addition to Zheng Shicheng, there are also Li Wanjun, director of the Propaganda Department of the prefectural party committee, and Chen Jianming, director of the prefectural party committee office, one is just from the post to the regular, there is the name of the Jiang talent, relying on strength, the other is still young, excessive habitual humility and prudence, Zheng Fengyan felt a little relieved in his heart, although Zhu Yongjun and Li Dongfang combined their swords, Liu Weiming and others were aggressive, the foundation he created did not collapse, plus the other two, the power represented by the Zheng family is still the mainstay of Qingzhou, Shicheng may lack the ability to create heaven and earth, and stick to the existing country, but it is good at it and more than enough.

"You don't have to worry too much, how to work, or how to work, the sky can't fall," Zheng Fengyan spoke unhurriedly, but he was full of energy and strength, "At your level, it's not that he Zhu Yongjun and Li Dongfang can move when they say it, provincial management cadres, if Zhu Yongjun wants to stretch out his hand or dare to reach out, he must have at least three or five years of cultivation, as long as you grasp yourself, he can only look anxious, Jianming's office director, he has already moved his mind, didn't he retract his hand just like that?" ”

Li Wanjun smiled and nodded, "The old man is right, the top priority now is how to eliminate the impact of the Chen Honglei incident and try to prevent them from expanding the matter to others. ”

"Hehe, Liu Weiming is a gunman, he is old and strong, and he has been wronged," Zheng Fengyan smiled calmly and naturally, "At the beginning, Zhu Yongjun dared to compromise with us and agreed to Gao Fei to be the leader of Qingyang County, the purpose was to pull Liu Weiming into the team of the Standing Committee of the Prefectural Party Committee, and to be the pioneer of Zhu Yongjun for him. ”

Zheng Shicheng knew that Qingyang had always been the knot in the old man's heart, although he didn't think much of what he did, but he couldn't object to it, "Dad, you're right, Liu Weiming is at most the end of the strong man, and a financial director is nothing great, it's just that if we can help, we still have to help Chen Honglei, seeing that I can retire next year, but now I ......" Zheng Shicheng didn't finish speaking, but the meaning was very straightforward, his lips were cold and his teeth were cold, and he couldn't let Chen Honglei be beaten to death with a stick.

"Well, you don't have to worry about the Red Thunder matter, I'll deal with it myself," Zheng Fengyan of course won't die without help, after all, he is an old courtier who has been in front of the saddle for decades, "The three of you should also pay more attention in the future, I still say the same thing, Xiao Zhizi found out the big problem, and the matter of the Red Thunder is a living example...... Hmph, Honglei this person, how many times have I said it, he just can't listen to it, politics and officials must stick to the bottom line, in our Qingzhou, there are two red lines that must not be crossed, in addition to political issues, that is, all personnel and money related to the army, no one can touch the side, Honglei This is ignorant of good and bad blame, the strategic position of Qingzhou region in the southeast coast is particularly prominent and important, otherwise, he Shan Yunfei dare to sit in the position of the fourth on the Standing Committee? Even ordinary cadres understand the truth, but Honglei just doesn't understand that the Daqingshan Reservoir project is not only owned by the Ministry of Water Resources, but also an integral part of the construction of coastal defense in the southeast. ”

Chen Jianming glanced at Li Wanjun, then at Zheng Shicheng, and said cautiously: "Old man, that bastard boy in Shuiyang, is so fearless and unscrupulous, are we ...... Do you want to discuss it with Goofy? ”

Zheng Fengyan shook his head and said categorically: "Gao Fei hasn't gained a firm foothold yet, what can he do to rectify his family?" The last time there was a family planning incident, wasn't that bastard boy still living a good life? Don't think that it is an organized and planned deployment of others, this is by no means Zhu Yongjun and Li Dongfang's style of acting, Liu Weiming is not a person without self-knowledge, they are just good at seizing the opportunity and solving the battle before you react, that bastard boy, hehe, why do you treat him, people ask for their lives for the people, support the army model, and have the support of Yang madman Shan Yunfei, living a nourishing life, he is the only one in Qingzhou, who dares to rush to the prefectural committee organs to make trouble. ”

Saying that, Zheng Fengyan slowly closed his old eyes, sat on the Taishi chair like an old monk, this was a signal for him to end his stay with his old subordinates, Li Wanjun and Chen Jianming hurriedly got up to say goodbye, Zheng Shicheng accompanied them out, and when he came back alone, he saw the old man standing on crutches and standing by the west wall, staring at the Qingzhou regional administrative map on the wall.

"Dad, it's time for you to rest." Zheng Shicheng walked over and said softly.

Zheng Fengyan shook his head slightly, "Shicheng, endure humiliation and burden, it is more difficult and challenging than fighting to the end, don't care about Chen Honglei's affairs, the general trend is the trend, you can't move against the current, of course, we don't have the ability to fight back, but it's not okay to kill a thousand enemies and hurt eight hundred, we can't afford to be hurt, we have more important things to do, do you remember, I insisted on reaching a tacit understanding with Zhu Yongjun at the beginning, transferred Liu Weiming up, and sent Gao Fei to Qingyang, why is this?" ”

Zheng Shicheng smiled bitterly, "Dad, I can't reach your height, you better say it." ”

Pointing to the map on the wall with a cane, Zheng Fengyan said solemnly: "We have a total of six counties and one city in Qingzhou, with an area of more than 13,000 square kilometers and a population of 5.5 million, Qingyang County accounts for a quarter and a fifth respectively. Qingyang has not really become a part of Qingzhou, it is so independent and tenacious, but Qingzhou can't live without Qingyang, and if Qingyang is lost, Qingzhou is equivalent to having no strength. ”

Zheng Shicheng's heart moved, nodded and said: "Dad, you are right, Qingyang's grain output accounts for half of the entire Qingzhou region, without Qingyang, Qingzhou, an agriculture-based region, can't even solve its own food problem." ”

"And not only that, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, many people of insight in our Qingzhou have noticed this problem, intentionally or unintentionally made a lot of layouts, such as industrial transportation and other infrastructure, Qingyang is obviously lagging behind other counties and cities in Qingzhou, complementarity can be common prosperity, dependence can coexist...... What's more deadly is that Qingzhou, as a coastal area, does not have a good deep-water seaport, there is, but in Qingyang, it is still undeveloped in the boudoir, Shicheng, think about it, if you take Qingyang, Qingzhou can still have future development? ”

Zheng Shicheng's eyes lit up, and he nodded frequently, "I understand, Dad, no wonder your words and deeds in the past few years, we are difficult to understand in private, and there are quite a few complaints, it turns out that everything you have done is to keep Qingyang and the future of Qingzhou." ”

"Well, so to speak, if you keep Qingyang, you will keep the roots of Qingzhou," Zheng Fengyan's words were not without smugness, and his smile became kind, "Let Zhiwei stay in Qingyang, in order to temper him, but also for Qingzhou, the xenophobia of local cadres in Qingyang has always been very serious, especially that Fang Tianzheng, you have to remind Gao Fei often that it is impossible to get his full cooperation, in order to gain a firm foothold and lay a good foundation, don't limit your eyes to Fang Tianzheng alone, it seems to be a powerful person, There are also his inherent fatal flaws. ”

Zheng Shicheng said: "I'm just worried that Gao Fei can't control the situation in Qingyang, let alone ...... What's more, she has some ideas, and I don't dare to agree with them. ”

"Women, of course there are women's thoughts, don't be suspicious, don't be suspicious, Qingyang is not far away," Zheng Fengyan waved his hand, walked a few steps, and stopped and said, "By the way, Shicheng, I want to meet that Chang Ning in Shuiyang, huh...... You let Zhiwei and his wife come back and invite them in their name, after all, they are relatives. ”
