Chapter 114: Being caught again

  The suggestions given to Lao Ye are more or less these, and the rest will depend on the specific situation encountered during implementation. After all, the joint defense is still a new thing, and as a new thing, it's inevitable that there will be loopholes in the rules.

  Not to mention the joint defense, even the most rigorous laws will have loopholes. From the founding of the country until Liang Sanping left, various legal articles had been revised countless times.

  As long as a few are grasped, Liang Sanping believes the problem is not big. One is to enforce the law according to the law, and the other is to enforce the law politely. As long as these two points are done well, the rest is just a matter of writing rules and frameworks.

  Not long after chatting with Lao Ye, Liang Sanping was taken away by Mushan. The one who came to take him away was none other than Lan Bin. After reading the file, Mushan stayed in his office for a long time without making a sound.

  Until Lan Bin delivered the dinner, he hoarsely asked Lan Bin to find Liang Sanping. To be honest, even he was frightened by Liang Sanping's bold plan.

  In this special zone, there are many restrictions and rules. But how did young Liang Sanping think of raising funds from the merchants on the other side of the river to repair the road?

  Mushan couldn't help but smile bitterly, he himself wanted to plan a piece of land and hand it over to the merchants of Xiangjiang for development. All of this was labeled as "concession", causing a big stir. If Liang Sanping were to repair the road, he would probably be given a hat called "traitor".

  When was it that roads were built with foreign capital?! That's something that only happened during the feudal Qing dynasty, and yet on Chinese soil, China's highways are being tolled by others. Without a doubt, as soon as Liang Sanping proposed this, he would definitely be labeled with this hat.

  Rubbing the documents on the desk, Mu Shan was very headache. The idea is good, but how to execute it? Although several top leaders have reached a consensus on reform, there are still great disputes over some specific provisions.

  On the one hand, some people hope to speed up the pace of reform, while others hold a conservative attitude. Another part thinks that reform is feasible, but it needs to be slowed down and observed carefully, and cannot be rushed.

  Mushan sighed in his heart, it's not that I want to be impatient! It's just that the gap between us and others is too big. Open the door and take a look outside. The gap between us and others is not just one or two stars. If we don't strive to catch up now, when will we?

  "Uncle Mu, you're looking for me?!" Mu Shan looked for himself, and naturally, Liang Sanping didn't dare to be slow. Soon, he followed Lan Bin into Mu Shan's office.

  Mushan's office is similar to his office in Yangcheng, with several rusty green metal cabinets, a desk and a few chairs.

  In front of it is a tea table for receiving guests, and on the edge of the wooden tea table are several wooden chairs. These tea tables and chairs are also old-fashioned. Even in the corners, the paint has fallen off.

  "Come! Little Liang, sit down." Mu Shan smiled and let Liang Sanping sit down, then Lan Bin poured a cup of tea and handed it to Liang Sanping. He himself carefully walked out of the office, closing the door behind him.

  "Uncle Mu, we're not strangers to each other. If you have something to say, just speak up!" Liang Sanping said with a smile, looking at Mu Shan's serious expression.

  "Sanping... To be honest, I agree with this report of yours. But I have to say that the possibility of it being approved is very low, and it will also have a great impact on you."

  Mushan looked at Liang Sanping and put the report on the table, saying: "Have you thought about all of this?!"

  "I've thought about it." Liang Sanping saw that Mu Shan was like this, and couldn't help but stand up straight and say: "I can even think of how they would evaluate me, no more than scolding me for betraying the country!"

  "It's not that simple! In those ten years, you were still young and must have seen it!" Mu Shan said with some pain and regret: "Just this one thing is enough to make you suffer for eternity! Don't you understand?!"

  Liang Sanping fell silent, and what Mu Shan said was something he had considered before. If it weren't for the fact that they were now at a critical juncture and couldn't afford to hesitate, he wouldn't have chosen to take such a risk either. The projects in Wen Chang and Wan Cheng had already been finalized. So transportation became a huge problem.

  These two places are not like Bao Ting, they are located more than 50 kilometers away from the port of Lucheng. These two places, whether to reach Qiongzhou Port or to come to Lucheng Port, have to run for hundreds of kilometers.

  In the middle of it, you have to go through countless mountainous areas with gravel roads and provincial small roads that are even more difficult to navigate than national defense highways. Once it rains, the road conditions in these places can be imagined.

  "Nothing can be done, this road must be built..." Liang Sanping fell silent for a while before speaking to Mu Shan with a bitter smile: "There's risk involved, I'll take it on. This project was organized by me, if any problems arise in the middle... it'll be even more troublesome..."

  "We are now repairing the road, and can only rely on national funding. But we still owe foreign exchange accounts. Where will the country get the money to repair the road for me?! The road is not connected, wealth does not come in, and treasure does not go out."

  "Even if we had a magic rice bowl, we still can't find enough food to eat..." Liang Sanping sighed and said to Mu Shan: "In fact, this is not just a problem for our island of Qing. Similar problems exist all over the country."

  Mushan didn't say anything. When he was sent down, it was to a small mountain village in Jiangxi Province. He had seen the local backwardness, but in fact, there were many interesting things locally. Unfortunately, they couldn't be transported out.

  The village is tens of kilometers away from the National Defense Highway. It's all mountain roads. After getting off at the National Defense Highway, you still have to walk tens of kilometers on mountain roads to reach it.

  Every time they rush to the market, people basically have to sell enough household goods for almost a week. Going out once is extremely difficult. Not only in Jiangxi Province, but also in Guizhou Province, Guangxi Province, Shaanxi Province, Gansu Province, Ningxia Province... and other regions, there are similar situations.

  "How can this problem be solved?! If it's not solved, then what about the development of our southeastern coastal areas in the future? What about inland areas?! Liang Sanping took a deep breath and said: "And how will we solve the problem of farmers' income?"

  "What I'm going to do now is to explore a way out. This path belongs to the peasants to take. In the case where we can provide stable funding, technology and sales network, we will cooperate with rural areas and peasants in an all-round way."

  "Let them and us reach the ultimate goal of getting rich." Liang Sanping stretched his legs towards Mushan and said, "Guanzi in 'Historical Records. Guan Yan Biography' said, 'When the granary is full, one knows etiquette, when clothes and food are sufficient, one knows honor and shame.'"

  "I deeply agree with this. When people can't even eat their fill, they still talk about etiquette and whatnot. That's just a small part of the population. At least we've let the common people eat their fill and dress warmly before considering etiquette and honor. It's always been that way since ancient times."

  At the door, Lan Bin was keeping watch. He was astonished to see that Liang Sanping had been driven out by his own uncle. Mu Shan opened the door and let Liang Sanping go rest first, while he himself thought carefully about it.

  "What did he say?!!" Lan Bin asked eagerly as soon as Liang Sanping came out. Liang Sanping, however, shook his head helplessly and said, "Nothing was said, neither agreement nor disagreement, just told me to go back first."

  Lan Bin sighed, his old friend's report was probably in vain. Mu Shan was his uncle, he knew him better than anyone else. The top could put him in the special zone because he had a big heart and did things boldly.

  But he is now taking such an attitude towards this report, it seems that the situation is really not very optimistic.

  "Come on! Let's not think too much, Old Ye is treating us to dinner!" Liang Sanping shrugged indifferently, anyway, even if Mu Shan didn't support him, he still had to carry the report to the Imperial Capital once.

  Heaven is big, earth is big, but eating is the biggest. That little brat Ye Jianwen was caught and interrogated for half a day. By the time he came back, it was already late afternoon, plus this round of questioning by Mushan. He hasn't even had dinner yet. His stomach is growling loudly.

  "It's my fault! I forgot you haven't eaten yet." Lan Bin patted his forehead. With a very apologetic smile, he said to his old friend: "Is Ye Jianwen treating us? Are you sure Ye Yanwang isn't inviting us to a feast of the swallow's cave?"

  "Hey, hey, hey! I'm telling you, Old Lan! This meal can be eaten casually, but words can't be spoken casually!" Just then, a particularly sly head poked in from the doorway, and it was that guy Ye Jianwen.

  "I don't know who gave me the nickname 'Ye Yan Wang', but I'm a kind and honest man, aren't I?! Five virtues, four beauties, three loves, I've got them all!"

  Liang Sanping and Lan Bin couldn't help but burst out laughing, and even the five lectures, four beauties, and three loves didn't know much about it at that time. This was just a commendatory remark made by some of the comrades above regarding the experience of carrying out aesthetic education activities on language, demeanor, and behavior at Wuxi's 34th Middle School.

  Of course, in line with the current social situation, various national languages and educational institutions are indeed researching and proposing a slogan and initiative. In order to be easy to recite, "Five Virtues Four Beauties Three Loves" has just been freshly baked.

  But this is just a preliminary concept, and formal promotion and publicity will have to wait until next year.

  "Alright! Hurry up and drink with me, my stomach is growling loudly now!" Liang Sanping laughed and gave Ye Jianwen a punch, saying: "I don't care about the wine, but you have to take care of the food. And there must be meat!"

  "Old Liang, look at what you're saying! Am I, Old Ye, the kind of person who would cheat friends?! Ye Jianwen patted his chest to guarantee: "I've already prepared it for you a long time ago, and it's still hot! Let's go now and eat on the spot!"

  Saying that, Ye Jianwen laughed and pulled the two out of the office building. Downstairs, a dilapidated Jeep was parked, and the three jumped on it. Ye Jianwen drove them swiftly towards a village in the city.

  When he arrived at the local place, Liang Sanping looked at the newly hung sign of "Jiangkou City Shuiwei Village Public Security Joint Defense Management Office" and couldn't help but feel speechless.

  You little rascal, you asked me to dinner, but it turns out you're seeking my help for the Allied Defense Team! Liang Sanping couldn't help but curse this guy's shamelessness in his heart.

  "Come, come, come... this is authentic northern Cantonese cuisine! You can't get it outside!" Ye Jianwen saw that Liang Sanping's face was not right, and he quickly pointed to the big bowl of dishes and smiled apologetically.

  "Hey! Hey! Our village dish. All the ingredients are grown and raised by ourselves in the village! Absolutely delicious!"

  He even gave a thumbs up, and Liang Sanping's anger disappeared when he saw the basin dish. To be honest, this basin dish is really good! It's also a specialty of Guangdong Province, and it's great that Ye Jianwen can eat it in Jiangkou at this time.

  "Everyone, stop standing! Come on... let's sit down and eat!" Ye Jianwen saw that Liang Sanping was not making a sound. He couldn't help but laugh and say: "Look... this chicken meat, these shrimp! Big chunks of braised pork, and there are radishes too! Old Liang, we haven't lost out to you, have we?"

  Li Sanping didn't even give Ye Jianwen a glance, first picking up the chicken leg and putting it into the bowl of this old man who looked like he should be the village chief. Then he grabbed a chicken wing for himself and threw it into his mouth to gnaw on.

  "You little scoundrel, you're definitely going to take advantage of me again! There's no good feast! My Lan Bin said it right, the banquet you set up is a Swan Goose Banquet. After eating this bowl of noodles, I'll have to sell my brain to you..."

  Li's words made Ye Jianwen's face flush. He indeed had directly chosen a village in several cities as a test point for himself, but because he was not confident, he thought of catching Li to take a look.

  Most kids who can come out of a big courtyard are not fools, especially someone like Ye Jianwen who has experienced so many things. If the country is doing pilot projects, why can't I, Ye Jianwen, do one too?

  After gathering a group of people to discuss, Shuiwei Village appeared in front of Ye Jianwen. This place is not far from the industrial park and has developed very well recently. The village committee cadres have already found themselves several times after making a big noise outside the pass.

  The meaning is very clear, and I hope to pay more attention to the security situation in Shuiwei Village. Shuiwei Village Ye Jianwen also knows that it is not far from the industrial park, and the rent price is cheap, so many people rent houses here.

  Moreover, it is close to the Jiangkou Municipal Government, with a distance of less than one kilometer, making management very convenient. If there are any problems, they can also be handled in a timely manner.

  "Brother, I don't know... when the tourists came, we were all very happy at first. We could get rent! But it's so troublesome now..." The village chief-like old man started to pour out his grievances after drinking two cups of wine.

  Liang Sanping understood what the old man was saying: "Young fellow, you don't know! There are too many people coming over. At first, we were very happy. We could earn rent, but now it's so troublesome."

  "Uncle Ah, don't mind. We're here to help you solve this trouble now... " Liang Sanping smiled and said to the village chief Uncle Ah: "Director Ye also knows, right? The point he arranged for you is to help you solve the problem..."

  Soft on people's mouths, hard on people's means. There is no good banquet! Liang Sanping sighed in his heart, I'm still being fooled by that bastard Ye Jianwen after all!
