Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Zheng Zhi is different from Tang Yi. Tang Yi worked in the Youth League very early and served as the general secretary of the Central Committee of the League. It can be said that he was exposed to young people and their theories and ideas. But Zheng Zhi did go directly from the central government to the local government to serve as the deputy governor in charge of the economy. During the long time in the central government, he learned to patrol and defend, and learned to be calm from many old comrades working in the ministries. Although Zheng Zhi is not a conservative person, otherwise he would not have achieved what he has today, becoming one of the youngest vice premiers, and is expected to become the executive vice premier in the National People's Congress next year, and take over the post of prime minister in six years.

But after all, he had worked in the ministry for many years and had contact with the most old comrades. When encountering things, he had learned to consider the overall situation first. For example, what happened in Tangche County, he had heard about it and knew that it was not Feng Sizhe who was looking for trouble, but that the first-level party organization there was too reckless and Feng Sizhe seized the opportunity to change the rules of officialdom.

The so-called rules, of course, are formed slowly over a long period of time from many things. It can be said that there is a certain regularity and correctness, although it cannot be said to be 100% correct, but at least this thing exists, there should be a reason for it, and now Feng Sizhe wants to change it, you can imagine what kind of influence it will have.

There are many voices against Feng Sizhe in the central government, especially his attempt to use this incident to negate the decision of the first-level party organization. Many old comrades do not like it. Some even think that this is Feng Sizhe's grandstanding and even political immaturity. If it were not for Qin Xianghua, Duan Jianghe and other central leaders who have not expressed their views, it is estimated that some people have already started to discuss whether Feng Sizhe is still suitable for his current position.

At this time, Secretary Qin really wanted to know his opinion, so Zheng Zhi had to think about it before answering. You know, Zheng Zhen at this time not only represents himself, but also represents an extremely powerful central force, because everyone knows that Zheng Zhi is one of the representatives of the old revolutionaries.

As mentioned before, China is a large country with a large population. It is very difficult for a large country with many ethnic groups to reach a complete unity of opinion within the party. This is why there are so-called reformists, also known as the left, conservatives, also known as the right, and academics, which include those who studied abroad and high-level intellectuals. In addition, there are old revolutionaries and family factions, among which there are specific divisions such as the Beijing-Tianjin faction, the Kun faction, the local faction, etc.

Any one of these forces is immeasurable, and their energy is so great that it cannot be easily shaken by any one person. Zheng Zhi represents the old revolutionaries. This is of course largely related to his many years of work in central ministries and commissions, his dealings with old comrades, and the establishment of good personal friendships with them.

The reason why Comrade Qin Xianghua asked Zheng Zhi this question was actually to ask about the old revolutionaries' views on what happened in Tangche County. As the general secretary, he was in charge of the overall situation. He always needed to summarize the situation from all aspects and finally come up with an opinion that everyone was willing to accept.

Seeing that Comrade Qin Xianghua was still waiting for his answer, Zheng Zhi replied, "Secretary Qin, I just learned about this matter. It seems a bit abrupt to make a conclusion now. How about this? I want to understand it first, and then give my opinion. You also know that if you don't understand, you have no right to speak."

"Haha, okay, since Comrade Zheng Zhi has such a strong interest in this matter, I think we should do this. Why don't you go to Harbin Province to really understand the matter, and then return to the central government to report the specific circumstances of the matter. What do you think?" Comrade Qin Xianghua seemed to be waiting for Zheng Zhi to say this, and as soon as he finished speaking, he dug a hole and threw it over.

It was obviously Qin Xianghua who wanted him to handle this matter, but he said it so nicely, as if he had taken the initiative to ask for it. Zheng Zhi understood the wisdom of the general secretary. But since things were like this, he really had nothing to say. "Okay, since this is the decision of the central government, I obey."

"Haha, OK." Qin Xianghua nodded happily, and the matter was handed over to Zheng Zhi to handle. In this way, the initiative fell into his hands again. Tian Longshan's complaint and Feng Sizhe's appeal made him feel very stressed. These two people were like the flesh on the palm and the back of the hand. It was not good to say anything bad about either of them. If he made the wrong choice and made a mistake, he would be very passive at work. On the contrary, now that Zheng Zhi took the lead, he could use this time to think about how to solve the problem. Secondly, with Zheng Zhi as a shield, his pressure would be less. When the wrong decision was made, it would not be his fault, but Zheng Zhi and the forces behind him would bear it together. It is always like this in politics. In order to protect rights and interests, many methods can be used.

Tian Longshan in the Harbin Provincial Party Committee and Feng Sizhe in Tangche County both received a notice from the General Office of the Central Committee, which was about the matter of Tangche County. Vice Premier Zheng Zhi of the State Council would go to the scene to understand the situation and asked them to prepare the reception and materials.

Tian Longshan in Harbin Province was very happy when he heard that Zheng Zhi was coming. This red star in politics was a representative of the old revolutionaries, and usually hearing this word usually meant leaning towards the conservatives. If this was the case, Zheng Zhi would definitely not agree with Feng Sizhe's personal challenge to the decision-making power of the first-level party organization. So he was very happy and thought that the central government sent Zheng Zhi to speak for him. He even called Xiang Tong and Liu Renliang in Tangche County immediately after receiving the phone notification to inform them of the good news.

Similarly, Feng Sizhe in Tangche County was also very happy when he heard that Zheng Zhi would represent the central government to understand the situation. Because Feng Sizhe also had a certain understanding of Zheng Zhi. Although everyone said that this person was a representative of the old revolutionaries, Feng Sizhe actually knew that this person was not old-fashioned at all, but very courageous. This will be known after he becomes the executive vice premier next year. Whether it is the various opinions he put forward on the country's economic development or the various things he did after taking a high position, it shows that this person has a pioneering and enterprising spirit, or in the words of later generations, he keeps pace with the times.

At the Harbin Airport, Tian Longshan and his team welcomed Zheng Zhi and his team. After all, he was a member of the Central Political and Legal Affairs Bureau, a State Councilor, and a Vice Premier. Such a senior official deserved to be greeted by all local leaders no matter which province he went to.

Zheng Zhi had been smiling since he got off the plane. His amiable look gave people the impression that he did not come here to understand the situation but to encourage everyone.

On the hotel TV, Feng Sizhe saw the report from Harbin Province. Seeing Zheng Zhi smiling all the time, Feng Sizhe also kept smiling.

"Sizhe, it seems that this chief has a good relationship with the leaders of Harbin Province. Will you..." Cherry, who was peeling an orange for Feng Sizhe, looked at this scene and said with some concern.

Cherry was afraid that the people sent by the central government would side with the people from Har Province, because after all, she didn't understand the relationship between them. She was thinking that if these people joined forces to deal with her man, wouldn't Feng Sizhe be under a lot of pressure?

"Haha, you don't have to worry. Vice Premier Zheng is such a person." Feng Sizhe laughed. He believed in his own judgment. What's more, in order for Zheng Zhi to come, he specially made an important phone call. He also firmly believed that this call would play an important role.

Zheng Zhi only stayed in the Harbin Provincial Party Committee for one morning. After lunch, he asked to go to Tangche County to take a look. After all, the main things related to his mission were all in Tangche County, including the two parties confronting each other there. If he wanted to understand the real situation, he still needed to go there first.

Tian Longshan originally wanted Zheng Zhi to stay in the provincial capital for a day before leaving, and to take a look at the development of Harbin Province in recent years, but he dared not disobey the request. So he had to arrange for comrades from the Provincial Party Committee Office and the Provincial Public Security Department to accompany Zheng Zhi to Tangche County. The safety of such a senior official is always the top priority.

In fact, Tian Longshan also wanted to go with Zheng Zhi, but Xiang Tong and Liu Renliang were both in Tangche County. If he went, there would be no one to do the work of the Provincial Party Committee, so he could only choose to listen to the news in the Provincial Party Committee. Of course, he also recognized Xiang Tong's ability. He didn't believe that a young man like Feng Sizhe could defeat an old cadre like Xiang Tong who had seen the light and storm.

Zheng Zhi and his party arrived in Tangche County that evening and stayed in a hotel under the Tangche County Government. The first thing he did when he arrived here was to ask his subordinates to find Xiang Tong and Feng Sizhe. Obviously, he wanted to meet with these people, and in order to be fair, he made appointments with two people at the same time. In this way, others would not say that he was unfair.

At 6:30 in the evening, Feng Sizhe and Xiang Tong met at the Tangche County Government Hotel. Feng Sizhe was courteous and asked Xiang Tong to go first. Then the two of them went to the box and met Zheng Zhi.

As soon as they saw Zheng Zhi, neither Xiang Tong nor Feng Sizhe would hold back. They both politely greeted Zheng Zhi, "Hello, Vice Premier Zheng."

"Haha, Comrade Xiang Tong, Comrade Feng Sizhe, you are here. Come, let's sit together." Zheng Zhi looked at the two people with a smile on his face.
