Chapter 1948 Avoiding a Fallout

"Not to mention you, even I, the current patriarch of the Zhao family, have no right to make such a request!"

"Have you been bribed by Liu Fusheng? What benefits did he promise you that made you do such a rebellious thing?"

Hearing this, Zhao Qiu Ming hurriedly shook his head: "Brother, don't misunderstand me. How could I betray my ancestors for the sake of profit? You are really wronging me!"

Zhao Qiuwei deliberately snorted: "Then what do you want to do?"

Zhao Qiuming said, "Brother, I really think that what Liu Fusheng said makes sense. I used to think that he was just grandstanding and unreliable, but now that I have had in-depth contact with him, I find that he is indeed a character."

"I, Zhao Qiuming, will not admire anyone easily, but I do admire Liu Fusheng. Since I admire him, I have to seriously consider what he said. After thinking about it, I think our clan rules should indeed be adjusted... The Zhao family has always supported the leadership of the country, abided by the law, and lived honestly. The clan rules were there before because the law was unfair and the society was corrupt. Now there is no need to do so. Clan rules are greater than national laws, which is unreasonable. Just like Song Village, if every household has its own house rules and does not obey your management, can you tolerate them?"

Zhao Qiuwei didn't expect that Zhao Qiuming could say so many things. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Do you have something to ask Liu Fusheng for? So you're using the change of clan rules as a stepping stone?"

When Zhao Qiu Ming heard this, his face instantly turned red.

Because what Zhao Qiuwei said really hit the nail on the head.

Zhao Qiu Ming had been thinking about how to invite Liu Fusheng to come out of seclusion and go to Dongrihe with him.

No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't get around the fact that Liu Fusheng wanted to carry out clan reform. In other words, there was still an irreconcilable contradiction between him and Liu Fusheng.

If this matter is not resolved, he and Liu Fusheng will never be able to reach an agreement.

If Liu Fusheng doesn't go to Dongrihe, Zhao Qiu Ming can't go to Dongrihe. This is an unsolvable vicious circle.

After much thought, Zhao Qiumin decided that he must start with clan reform.

This research is not important. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the family should indeed be reformed. Liu Fusheng wanted to govern the local area. The clan was indeed a hidden danger and an obstacle to social progress and urban development.

He had disagreed before, but he was used to being arrogant and didn't take Liu Fusheng seriously.

In fact, Zhao Qiu Ming's thoughts were relatively simple. After he came to his senses, he was not afraid of embarrassment and went straight to his cousin Zhao Qiuwei, trying to persuade him to agree to Liu Fusheng's reform plan.

Zhao Qiu Ming could never have imagined that Zhao Qiuwei had actually reached an agreement with Liu Fusheng.

Seeing Zhao Qiu Ming taking the initiative to defend the clan reform, Zhao Qiuwei couldn't help but sigh again.

Liu Fusheng was indeed quite capable. Through exercises, he managed to tame the stubborn Zhao Qiu Ming and even got the approval of the Xie family. If the Xie family did not agree to the reform, Zhao Qiu Ming would definitely not have been able to accept the task of inviting Liu Fusheng to Dongrihe.

Zhao Qiuwei thought for a moment, and finally said: "Qiuming, what you said makes sense."

Zhao Qiuming was slightly stunned: "Do you agree with my idea?"

Zhao Qiuwei said: "I just think that what you said makes sense, but I didn't say that I agree with anything. I think we need to think about the reform in the long run."

Zhao Qiu Ming showed a happy expression on his face and said, "My cousin is very good at speaking. He is worthy of being the municipal party secretary. Let's make it up. It's all for the good of the family anyway."

Zhao Qiuwei said: "Yes, the country will have to carry out reforms sooner or later. If we actively cooperate, there is still some room for flexibility. If we passively accept the reform, the consequences will be unpredictable."

Zhao Qiu Ming said: "Yes, a small arm cannot twist a big leg. When we worship our ancestors, we can hold a meeting. I can explain the power of Po to the elders and persuade them with reason and emotion."

Zhao Qiuwei nodded. Zhao Qiu Ming had a high prestige in the family, and he had a hot temper, so many people did not dare to refute him even if they had opinions about him.

His appearance might be more effective than Zhao Qiuwei's personal appearance.

……

Yangcheng.

Tang Shaoying called Old Man Tang late at night and said, "Father, I want to ask about the Xie family's ability to bear the pressure, because I may have some disputes with the Xie family at the provincial party committee standing committee meeting."

"What's wrong?" Mr. Tang asked with some confusion.

Tang Shaoying said: "Two days ago, Chaojiang District submitted a planning report on the construction of a highway and railway network connecting Jiyang, Chaojiang and Jiangtou. Liu Fusheng's hand was quite big this time. He invited the Chinese Academy of Sciences and relevant national departments to conduct a full exploration and demonstration of this project."

"The results of the current demonstration are very favorable to him, but the construction of these road networks must be approved by the province, and the special funds that need to be mobilized are also from the province and Chaojiang City."

"Liu Fusheng has already signed a military order, vowing to develop Chaojiang's economy to the death. Naturally, I can't let him get his wish."

"Xie Zhenqi has just joined the provincial party committee. Liu Fusheng should have caught Xie Zhenqi's eye through the exercises of the Guangdong East Military Region some time ago. He is likely to become a staunch supporter of the construction of these road networks. In this case, I will definitely have a tit-for-tat debate with Xie Zhenqi to gain the support of other standing committee members."

Mr. Tang said, "Are you afraid that the Xie family will turn against you?"

Tang Shaoying said: "Yes, I have maintained a good relationship with the Xie family during the years I have been running Yuedong. I have never touched any of the Xie family's interests. After all, they are local tyrants, and I don't want to provoke them easily."

Mr. Tang smiled and said, "Your concerns are reasonable. The Xie family is in eastern Guangdong and is indeed not easy to mess with. But don't worry, no matter how you argue at the provincial standing committee meeting, it will not affect their decision."

"Why?" Tang Shaoying asked curiously.

Mr. Tang said, "People from military families don't care about politics, and they don't have much political experience. At the provincial standing committee meeting, Xie Zhenqi might slam the table and call you names, but after the meeting, you can also use this opportunity to have some private exchanges with them. Strictly speaking, you are also a junior, and Xie Zhenqi won't be harsh on you."

Mr. Tang's plan was to confront Xie Zhenqi on the surface, and then apologize and ease the relationship behind his back. This way, outsiders could see Tang Shaoying's position clearly, and the Tang family and the Xie family could avoid a falling out.

Even the word "junior" has a lot of meaning. Grandpa Tang is telling his son that he stands behind him, provides him with support and cushions his back.

With this promise, Tang Shaoying could naturally let go and do his work.

A few days later, under the operation of Tang Shaoying, the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee held a new meeting.

Xie Zhenqi, as a member of the military standing committee, also attended the meeting.

At the beginning of the meeting, Tang Shaoying went straight to the point: "Dear leaders and comrades, the purpose of my convening this Standing Committee meeting is to discuss an important engineering decision. The secretary, the governor and I have briefly studied this matter. Now I want to hear the opinions of all the Standing Committee members."
