"My name is He Xiwu." He Xiwu said loudly, Zhuang Jihua nodded and motioned for him to sit down, and then said solemnly: "I remember you." ”

Then he said gently: "The officialdom of any country has [***] at any time, bribes of dozens of fiat currency, beautiful women, these are easy to refuse, but it takes more courage to resist the orders of the boss, I hope you can have such courage, the question raised by classmate He is actually very revealing," Speaking of this, he turned his head to Li Zhilong, Jiang Jingguo and others and said: "If we can't withstand it, then we can't expect them to withstand it." ”

Jiang Jingguo felt that Zhuang Jihua said this specifically to him, he knew in his heart that Zhuang Jihua must have something to say, but he didn't know why for the time being, he hadn't been out to do things for long enough, and he didn't know much about the complex interpersonal relationships and interests at the top level, and of course no one told him about the bad deeds of Kong Xiangxi or others, so he was very confident, but it was just to deal with a few warlords in Sichuan, with Zhuang Jihua behind his back, what else could not be resisted.

After dinner, Chiang Ching-kuo crossed the river alone to Yang Yongtai's house at No. 27 Niujiaotuo, during which time he deeply felt his political weakness, so he quietly wrote to Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek did not answer him clearly, but asked him to go to Yang Yongtai more, so during this time he often went to Yang Yongtai's house and asked him for advice.

Yang Yongtai also seemed to understand, and answered his questions wholeheartedly, Jiang Jingguo then understood why his anti-drug, anti-gambling and prostitution in Yucheng could not be carried out, and he immediately stopped his actions against the Sichuan Development Company, and then Li Zhilong made it clear that he supported him in prohibiting drugs, but the support for the prohibition of gambling and prostitution was still not large.

After Li Zhilong made a statement, various institutions in Yucheng immediately took action, and the drugs on the market were reduced by more than half in a short period of time, Tian Songyao and Liu Wenhui and others did not even let out a fart, this incident made him completely understand Zhuang Jihua's influence and control in Sichuan, and he also understood Chiang Kai-shek's intention to recommend Yang Yongtai to him.

Yang Yongtai had made too many enemies before, and Chiang Kai-shek never reassigned him back to the center of power; Zhuang Jihua didn't dare to trust him too much, and always had reservations about him, and the appearance of Jiang Jingguo gave him a new choice, but he did not rush to join forces with Jiang Jingguo, but chose to observe quietly. When Chiang Ching-kuo encountered setbacks, he did not take the initiative to reach out; He knew that only when Chiang Ching-kuo took the initiative to come to ask for advice would his opinions be taken seriously, and his status would be different in the future.

"It seems that the Cultural Revolution will eventually put you in charge of food control," Yang Yongtai showed a faint smile after Jiang Jingguo finished Zhuang Jihua's speech in the school in the afternoon: "Cultural Revolution, smart." ”

Jiang Jingguo frowned, he was a little not good at this kind of cover-up way of talking, Yang Yongtai picked up the teacup, gently blew the tea leaves floating on the water, put down the teacup, Yang Yongtai squinted his eyes and said: "Jingguo, the Cultural Revolution was very meticulous, he would not say these things for no reason, he has already estimated that after the implementation of this policy, there will be pressure from the top." ”

"Pressure from the top?" Chiang Ching-kuo asked rhetorically, "How tall?" Tian Songyao, haven't they been subdued by him, and how tall are they? Central? Who else will he be afraid of during the Cultural Revolution? ”

"The Cultural Revolution will not be afraid of anyone," Yang Yongtai said lightly: "Even if your father is not really afraid, it's just that he doesn't want to cause unnecessary disputes and delay the business." ”

Jiang Jingguo was not surprised, even if Yang Yongtai said something shocked, he couldn't surprise him, he just frowned lightly and tried to learn that kind of secretive way of talking.

"And what the hell is he thinking?" Chiang Ching-kuo asked patiently.

"It's very simple, Zhuang Jihua thinks that in the next war, our situation will be very unfavorable," Yang Yongtai said calmly, sighing slightly in his heart, Jiang Jingguo's qi cultivation kung fu still needs to be recuperated: "So sooner or later he will have to go to the battlefield, just like the development of the southwest, he chose Li Zhilong to replace him early on, and now he is choosing you to take over his work in Sichuan." ”

"Me?" Jiang Jingguo was really surprised: "Sir, this is impossible, even my father will not agree to me as the chairman of Sichuan Province." ”

"Ha," Yang Yongtai raised his face and slapped haha: "Jingguo, you look down on the Zhuang Cultural Revolution too much, and he also knows that it is impossible for you to be the chairman of Sichuan Province, but have you thought about it, what if the grain control power is returned to the Southwest Development Team?" Or set up a separate food department? ”

Jiang Jingguo was stunned for a moment, and then understood that Yang Yongtai was right, if Zhuang Jihua really did this, he could really be held responsible, but why did he do this?

"Sir, why is that? Can't it be placed in Sichuan Province? What exactly was he worried about? ”

"Alas," Yang Yongtai sighed softly, feeling in his heart whether Chiang Kai-shek had released Chiang Ching-kuo too early, and why was he so politically immature, but he still said: "Among the high-level people in the country, there are only Jiang, Song, and Kong who can make Zhuang Jihua have scruples." ”

Jiang Jingguo woke up like a dream, but he couldn't believe it: "My family? My father is still me, impossible, the Song family only has Song Ziwen and Song Ziliang, Song Ziwen is in the United States, although Song Ziliang is in China, he has not heard of any bad deeds, as for the Kong family, Dean Kong ,...。 ”

"The Cultural Revolution is worried about President Kong," Yang Yongtai said unceremoniously: "The Cultural Revolution's impression of Dean Kong is too bad, as far as I know, it was originally because of the import agent of factory equipment, if that time is nothing, penicillin agency will make the Cultural Revolution completely disgusted, the background of the Seven Star Company is your aunt, this Zhuang Jihua knows this, the Seven Star Company privately sold penicillin to Yueben, the Cultural Revolution was very angry, cut off their agency, and at the same time confiscated the deposit, which in turn angered your aunt, But she didn't dare to do it, because she also had a lot of scruples.

Zhuang Wenge was very clever to bring Zhang Jingjiang and Yu Qiaqing over, these two people control half of Shanghai's finance, and have won the general support of Shanghai's industrial and commercial circles, not to mention that the handle of the Seven Star Company is in the hands of the Cultural Revolution, and Mrs. Kong is also jealous, but the Liangzi of both sides has been knotted, and this battle will be the fiercest battle in the Republic of China. ”

Chiang Ching-kuo's eyes flashed, and he asked with interest: "Sir, who do you think will win?" ”

"I don't know," Yang Yongtai shook his head slightly sluggishly: "There are too many scruples in the Cultural Revolution, Kong Xiangxi's position is too high, and he has a close connection with the chairman, once he falls, it will cause great damage to the prestige of the political axe, so he is still waiting for the opportunity, hoping to let Kong Xiangxi step down at the lowest cost." ”

Jiang Jingguo noticed that Yang Yongtai said that Kong Xiangxi stepped down, indicating that he was not optimistic about Kong Xiangxi and had more confidence in Zhuang Jihua, but at the beginning he said that he didn't know, which made him a little strange, but it was inconvenient to ask again, and he needed to think about it himself.

The room fell silent for a while, Yang Yongtai gently pounded his waist, sitting for too long made him a little tired, he changed his position, sat on the recliner, looked at Jiang Jingguo who was thinking silently, and nodded silently in his heart, today he has spoken very plainly, and he has to think about the rest by himself.

Jiang Jingguo thought silently, and after a while, he figured out that Zhuang Jihua was laying out to deal with Kong Xiangxi, and he was an important weight, Jiang Jingguo had a creepy feeling in his heart, if it weren't for Yang Yongtai's analysis, he would have fallen into Zhuang Jihua's shell unconsciously, and it was the shell he was very willing to go into, because of the important surname of the control of food war.

But as long as he enters, he will inevitably have a conflict with Kong Xiangxi, because the Kong family must be involved in grain trading, and even if the Kong family withdraws from grain trading, will the Kong family not be involved in edible oil, cotton yarn, and cotton cloth in the future? So as long as he takes over this task, he will definitely have a conflict with the Kong family, and he will naturally become Zhuang Jihua's pawn.

"It's the right place today." Jiang Jingguo let out a long breath and looked up at Yang Yongtai, his eyes full of gratitude. Yang Yongtai was extremely satisfied, but he still asked: "Think clearly?" ”

Jiang Jingguo nodded, and Yang Yongtai asked again: "Then what are you going to do?" ”

Jiang Jingguo was stunned for a moment, yes, what should he do? He doesn't accept that Li Zhilong or others will find it difficult to resist pressure from Kong Xiangxi and other power groups, and his special status can be a big help.

"This is where the Cultural Revolution is powerful," Yang Yongtai said calmly: "Even if you know that he wants to use you, you can't help but let him use it, Liu Xiang and Deng Xihou are the same." ”

Jiang Jingguo was silent, he was a little hesitant and didn't know how to deal with it, but Yang Yongtai's tone suddenly became stern: "Why are you scared!" Have you ever thought about it, why Zhuang Wenge was invincible, why so many people are willing to follow him, because he occupies justice, morality, and the country does it for the people, why should he offend Kong Xiangxi? Why spend so much money to control grain and engage in the development of southwest China? Although tens of millions of people have gone to me, Zhuang Wenge is a real man and a hero! What do you have to hesitate about! If you don't even have this kind of concept of right and wrong, how can you boost the party's spirit and the people's spirit in the future? ”

Yang Yongtai completely cultivated Chiang Ching-kuo as a prince, but his words sounded in Chiang Ching-kuo's ears like thunder, he woke up like a dream, and quickly stood up and replied respectfully: "Mr. blames right, Jingguo is taught." ”

Yang Yongtai nodded with satisfaction, lay down on his back, and Jiang Jingguo said respectfully: "Mr. rest, Jingguo farewell." ”

After speaking, he turned around and left, Yang Yongtai said in a rambling voice: "The battle of interests is the technique, and the battle of the people's hearts is the way; If you want to walk the road, you must fight for the hearts of the people. ”

Jiang Jingguo's body shook slightly, turned around and bowed deeply to Yang Yongtai, Yang Yongtai lay motionless on the rocking chair, Jiang Jingguo pulled the door and walked into the deep night.
