VIP Chapter [-] Inheritance of History

Others would go home from the outside for the holidays, but Mu Guoxing was going back to the south of the Yangtze River again. Since he started his official career, he spent every Spring Festival at the grassroots level.Although the central government does not have any express regulations on this aspect, but at this time of the year, the top leaders of the central government will go to the grassroots, and it has become a habit to teach by example.

One afternoon before leaving, Mu Guoxing received a call from Qu Weihua, the new Minister of Culture: "Brother Mu, I heard that you are going back to Jiangnan again tomorrow. Do you have time to sit down?"

"Hehe, that's exactly what I wanted to do. I thought we'd get together after the festival. Since you proposed it, it's up to you to decide!"

"Okay then, how about just a few of us staying at the Capital Hotel?"

Mu Guoxing also knew that he had been going to the Beijing Hotel for a while, and everyone else must have known about this situation. Qu Weihua offered to stay there, which was in consideration of Mu Guoxing's preferences.

When Mu Guoxing came to the entrance of the Jingcheng Hotel in an Audi car, he found Meng Haibo and Wen Lei standing there looking around, seeing Mu Guoxing get off the Audi car, the two of them seemed to see a monster , staring at Mu Guoxing without blinking.

"Brother Mu, why did you come here by this car?"

"Hehe, the car is just a means of transportation. Besides, we are having a private party this time, so don't make it too public. Didn't you see that I didn't even let the guard vehicles come?"

Wen Lei laughed loudly: "Brother Mu, look, what's behind you?"

Mu Guoxing turned his head to look, his guard car was turning around, and several personal guards were standing not far from him, watching his surroundings vigilantly.

"Brother Mu, it's nothing, it's their job."

Mu Guoxing smiled wryly and shook his head. Everyone said it was good to be an official, but who knew it would be so difficult to even go out. Meng Haibo was right.

Qu Weihua and Huang Guoqiang waited at the door of the private room. When they saw Mu Guoxing approaching, they greeted them and shook hands. Although everyone was old acquaintances, the ranks were separated at this time. Did Mu Guoxing walk in front? People dare to walk side by side with him.This is another level gap, the position is high, and it also creates a sense of distance between people.

The five eldest sons got together again. Although they were all in the capital, they rarely had the chance to meet each other, let alone get together. It turned out that Mu Guoxing was just a ministerial-level cadre. Fortunately, now It's the deputy national level, and it's even more difficult to meet.

There was an extra star on Wen Lei's shoulder, and Mu Guoxing said with a smile; "Brother Wen, have you improved again?"

"Hehe, Brother Mu was joking, my progress is nothing."

Everyone still invited Mu Guoxing to sit on the main seat as before, and then sat down separately. Mu Guoxing said: "This year is about to pass, and everyone has made progress. Brother Qu has become the Minister of the Ministry of Culture. Qiang has become the chief director at the deputy ministerial level, brother Meng's business is booming, and brother Wen also has an extra star on his shoulders, congratulations!"

"Among us, brother Mu, your progress is the most enviable, but it's also because of your outstanding ability. Those who are capable will work harder."

After a few glasses of wine, Qu Weihua saw an opportunity and said to Mu Guoxing: "Brother Mu, the cultural work is very difficult to carry out now. I have been thinking about this issue since I took up this position two months ago. , I really want to discuss it with you, today is really a good opportunity, and please give me your advice.”

Mu Guoxing smiled: "Brother Qu, you are being polite. Cultural work has a distinct sense of the times, and it also shoulders the heavy responsibility of inheriting history. Regarding this issue, I think we should organically combine inheritance and development. Please enlighten me." Dare, we can discuss together."

Qu Weihua nodded: "The central government also attaches great importance to cultural undertakings now. The No. [-] chief has also emphasized in meetings many times that we must pay attention to the improvement of the morality of the whole people. Everything we do depends on whether he meets our country's moral standards. Only Only by improving the moral level of the whole people can our country be able to embark on the road to take-off."

"Chief No. [-] said at the previous Politburo meeting that moral power is an important factor for national development, social harmony, and people's happiness. Strengthen socialist moral construction, advocate patriotism, dedication, integrity, and friendliness, and form the basis for men and women. Equality, respecting the old and caring for the young, helping the poor, comity and tolerance in interpersonal relationships, and cultivating civilized and moral customs are important tasks in the construction of spiritual civilization and things that need to be done urgently at present.”

Mu Guoxing looked at several people and continued: "Morality is actually the inheritance of our country's history, which is not contradictory to the current ideological and theoretical viewpoints. Cultural self-confidence and cultural awareness both contain a mentality of respecting traditional culture. This It not only means that people should have a better awareness and understanding of traditional culture, but also must assume certain responsibilities.”

Qu Weihua said: "Brother Mu said it very well. In reality, many people regard the vulgar imitation of certain specific cultural forms as respect, and even seek profit in the name of respect, which is extremely destructive. In recent years , we can find such a strange phenomenon, on the one hand, in some places, there are large-scale sacrificial activities, or competition for the "property rights" of historical and cultural celebrities, myths and legends, and the traditional culture is "in a mess"; on the other hand, the historical and cultural heritage However, it is frequently destroyed, and tragedies are staged again and again. On the one hand, there is "protection", on the other hand, there is unscrupulous destruction. Under the attack of profit schemes and lack of responsibility, the situation of traditional culture is not optimistic. In addition, The business opportunities brought by the traditional culture fever may also turn cultural activities into commercial shows and become "cultural fast food" packaged by merchants. Instead of nourishing, it will spoil people's appetite. Therefore, it is true that traditional culture changes from cold to hot. There are gratifying things, but there are also many pitfalls. If there is no pure attitude of respecting and promoting traditional culture, the result may be counterproductive."

Meng Haibo ran around all day long and saw a lot of things. At this time, he also said: "When I went to Wuzhou Province at the beginning of the year, I saw some kind of ghost town there. I heard that the local government invested nearly [-] million yuan. , what is the euphemistic name of developing and protecting our country's historical and cultural heritage, here and there is protecting the country's historical and cultural heritage, it is clearly promoting superstition, our country has so many good cultural heritages and we don't want to pass them on, so we have to do this It's all messed up."

Meng Haibo's words opened up everyone's chatter box, and several people started talking about it, all talking about this aspect, and two local governments, because of the question of where the home of a historical celebrity is, It is a very strange and ridiculous thing to bring the lawsuit to the Ministry of Culture.

Qu Weihua said with a wry smile: "These things are indeed difficult to explain clearly. The economy and society have cast a layer of money on everything. The local government is not thinking about how to develop the economy and solve the people's livelihood, but is doing these weird things. It cannot but be said that this is a tragedy of our nation.”

"So this is the problem we urgently need to solve at present. Transforming historical and cultural traditions to make them suitable for modern people's lifestyles is a necessary way for traditional culture. This process cannot be achieved by simply calling for a return to tradition or resisting external influences , but it is precisely where people's wisdom and patience are tested, and we still have a lot of work to do in this regard."

Wen Lei said: "Brother Mu's words are very insightful. They are indeed from the mouth of a member of the Politburo. Brother Qu's Ministry of Culture will be very busy in the future! I think that culture and economy are intrinsically linked. Some places are not talking about Is culture a platform for economics? If the work of the Control Committee and the Ministry of Culture can be organically combined, it may be more effective with less effort."

Mu Guoxing looked at Wen Lei and thought to himself, this person is indeed very insightful, and the method he came up with is not bad. If we can really do this and combine economic and cultural work, it will not only benefit us The inheritance of national culture and the construction of morality are beneficial, and it can also promote economic development. A country that has lost its cultural heritage has no future for development, and a nation without faith will not rise among the nations of the world!

VIP Chapter [-] Gathering at the Teahouse (Ask for flowers)

When the five nobles get together, naturally they won't just eat and drink together like ordinary people. The purpose of these people's gathering together is to better connect with each other.There is a folk proverb that if you don’t come to your house for three years, you will not be close or close. Only by communicating with each other often can you establish a good relationship with each other.

Another purpose of their gathering together is to discuss some issues of common concern. Although they are still insignificant and cannot influence the political situation of the country, there is one thing that no one dares to underestimate, that is, these few All of them have terrible backgrounds and age advantages. Five years later, or ten years later, who knows if they will grow into a new generation of national leaders?

During the two-hour gathering, it can be said that the atmosphere was very good. Astronomy, geography, international and domestic affairs, and political economy were all discussed. The mask was revealed, and the party ended happily.

As soon as Mu Guoxing got into the car, his cell phone rang, and Sun Shuting's voice came: "Mr. Zhang, I was also entertaining guests at the Jingcheng Hotel. I saw you guys together, so I didn't bother you. Do you have time? Let's have a cup of tea together."

"Okay then, please invite Qingshan along, I happen to have something to talk to you about!"

The teahouse where the three of them met was chosen in the most famous hometown teahouse in the capital.This teahouse is located on the southwest side of Qianmen, close to an ancient commercial street. The unique geographical location has created a traditional Beijing-style cultural atmosphere for it.

Entering the gate, there are wooden old teahouse models placed in the glass counter on one side, and lifelike clay figures of various colors in the teahouse.Climbing up the stairs, the celebrity galleries on both sides of the second floor display photos of more than 2 world political figures, adding a lot of glory to this place.On the third floor of the teahouse, the wall facing the stairs is decorated with purple wood openwork carvings. In the middle of the old teahouse, under the gold plaque, stands a bronze statue of a famous people's artist.

The wooden corridor windows in the hall, the calligraphy and painting couplets everywhere, the Eight Immortals table, the back chairs, and the palace lanterns hanging on the roof all permeate a strong "Beijing flavor".In the hall, the male waiter in the Chinese style blue cloth trousers and coat, facing every customer who came in, said the sentence: "Hello, you are here." "The kindness.

When you enter the teahouse, you just drink tea. There are many kinds of tea in the teahouse in my hometown. There are more than 4 kinds of famous and high-quality scented teas from the north and the south.Drinking tea in the hometown teahouse is a kind of cultural enjoyment. When the waiter is brewing tea, he can often introduce the relevant tea culture knowledge to customers.With good tea and good water, naturally there must be something beautiful to match.In the hometown teahouse, guests can taste as many as 2 kinds of palace delicacies and flavor snacks.

The art of drinking tea lies in being quiet, quiet, lively and leisurely. Through this process of comprehension, people's state of mind will become ethereal and elegant.When the tea is drunk just right, you will naturally appreciate the true meaning of life.

"Have you got the news?" Mu Guoxing looked at Sun Shuting and Li Qingshan, and saw that they looked confused, smiled and said: "At the Politburo meeting the night before yesterday, it was passed that the two of you Regarding the resolution on the appointment, I estimate that the Central Organization Department will talk to you in the next two days."

"Thank you sir, thank you for the organization's trust in us!" Li Qingshan and Sun Shuting said these words almost at the same time.

Li Qingshan was originally the director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau at the deputy ministerial level of the Ministry of Public Security. Now he is the executive deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security, and his rank is at the ministerial level.Sun Shuting's deputy mayor also added the word "executive" in front of him, so he was naturally at the ministerial level. The two of them were promoted to a level at the same time this time.As Mu Guoxing's old subordinates, they certainly understand how they achieved their achievements today.

"The higher the position, the heavier the burden on your shoulders. I hope you will take this position as a starting point and work harder."

Although Mu Guoxing didn't go any further, both Sun Shuting and Li Qingshan understood the meaning of Mu Guoxing's words.Taking today's position as a starting point means that the achievements of the two people are far more than that, and they will move towards a better leadership position in the future.Of course, the two of them also understood that they all depended on Mu Guoxing, the old leader, to reach any level of position. Only when Mu Guoxing was firmly in the position, could the two of them have hope.

Li Qingshan understood why the Organization Department of the Central Committee sent people to inspect several cadres some time ago, and the investigation on him was particularly meticulous. It turned out that it was because of this reason why the No. [-] chief personally summoned him to report on work a few days ago.

At that time, Li Qingshan felt it faintly, but he couldn't take the initiative to ask Mu Guoxing. If this was the case, he would pay too much attention to his official title. Too eager for quick success is not necessarily a good thing.

"The economic work conference to be held by the central government next year will focus on protecting people's livelihood and promoting development. Shuting should use this time to think about it carefully and come up with a way of thinking about how to effectively improve people's livelihood. This work should be done well. It is not only beneficial to the country and the people, but also easier to make political achievements. The argument that I put forward at the Standing Committee of the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee to make the people rich and the country strong has also been supported by the No. [-] leader."

"The future work of Beijing City will strictly implement the instructions of the governor, keep up with the pace of the central government, and earnestly improve the work of people's livelihood."

Although what Sun Shuting said was some official language, it also showed that he already understood what Mu Guoxing meant.Now the central government attaches great importance to people's livelihood work. As long as this work is done well, it is easy to make political achievements. With political achievements and the support of the old Mu's family, are you afraid that there will be no chance for progress?

"I met Gao Yunfeng yesterday."

Mu Guoxing cast a probing look at Li Qingshan, and Li Qingshan continued: "During the conversation, Gao Yunfeng was very grateful to you, and he also had the confidence to follow you to do a good job. He also proposed to invite you to dinner ask."

Mu Guoxing smiled: "Although Gao Yunfeng has been training at the grassroots level for a long time, he is not very clear about some things above. I will go back to Jiangnan tomorrow, and you two can have a good talk with him if you have time. Let’s talk, we do our work for the country and the people, not for any individual. This attitude must be correct, and we must not artificially attribute ourselves to any faction, let alone draw a circle for ourselves. Limited."

Mu Guoxing's remarks were not high-profile. Although Li Qingshan and Sun Shuting were his old subordinates, and he had contributed a lot to the progress of these two old subordinates, the main reason was that Li Qingshan and Sun Shuting were not only clean but also They are very capable of working and have the same governance philosophy as Mu Guoxing, which is the main reason why Mu Guoxing spared no effort to promote the two.If these two people were not in such a situation, Mu Guoxing would definitely not do this. Over the years, Mu Guoxing has many old subordinates. Why did he only choose Sun Shuting and Li Qingshan, a small number of people?

Li Qingshan thought for a while and said: "Boss, someone raised the case of Mo Haisheng's accidental death at the ministerial meeting a few days ago, thinking that there are still many suspicious points in it."

Mu Guoxing smiled: "This is very normal. The Donghai Real Estate established by Mo Haisheng did so many bad things in the south of the Yangtze River. Before we had time to pursue his responsibility, he died unexpectedly. Donghai Real Estate also followed him. Of course, some people will make wild guesses. It’s okay, since someone has raised doubts, you can also check it out.”

To be honest, not only other people, but Li Qingshan also felt a little confused about Mo Haisheng's death. Mo Haisheng's death was indeed too bizarre, but Li Qingshan never thought about Mu Guoxing, or did not dare to think about it. Instead, he only doubted the six omnipotent apprentices under Mu Guoxing.Seeing Mu Guoxing's statement now, Li Qingshan's last doubt disappeared.
