In the blink of an eye, autumn had arrived. He drank tea, read newspapers, talked about storytelling, and bragged. The days passed slowly like this. In the past few months, he heard that the coal field had begun to be explored. The entire county revolutionary committee was talking about coal fields, and even the entire original West County was talking about it. However, this had nothing to do with Sun Shaoping. Everyone had forgotten about the hero who first discovered the coal field. Only Tian Fujun occasionally called him over to talk about some problems. Sun Shaoping was not disappointed with such a result. The coal field would be discovered in a few years. He had only pushed this time forward a little so that he could change his job. There was nothing to lose if he achieved his goal. He was quite satisfied with his current life. However, his brother's learning to drive had not been completed. It turned out that in this era, a driver's license was also required. If one wanted to learn to drive and get a driver's license, they needed a certificate from the unit. It seemed that rural members could not do it. It seemed that he had to think of another way to use this thing for people who lived on commodity grain.
However, Liu Haiyang was getting more and more distant from Sun Shaoping. He already knew Sun Shaoping's background. Even he was inferior to Sun Shaoping. It was a pity that he lost two bottles of good wine, which made his heart ache for a while.
Sun Shaoping slowly became familiar with the people in the administrative team. Everyone liked to chat with him. They probably felt that this kid was interesting and often said new things that no one had heard before.
Wu Yuanchao walked in and said with a smile,"What are you talking about? Why are you so happy? Shaoping, are you telling everyone about robots invading Earth again?”
Sun Shaoping quickly said," The Sky Lifting Pillar just died. No matter what, he will have to wait a few days before he can be resurrected. Today, we are talking about the Legend of the Shushan Swordsman."
Wu Yuanchao waved his hand." You brat, you don't behave properly all day long. I don't know why you have so many strange things in your head. Let's not talk about these gossips for now. Follow me. Director Feng wants you to go over. There's a leader who wants to see you. It's a big leader. You have to be careful when you go…" Wu Yuanchao's final words were very soft.
Sun Shaoping didn't come to the cave in Feng Shikuan's office. Instead, he was brought to the conference room. There were many people inside, and he didn't know anyone except Feng Shikuan and Tian Fujun.
The few of them were discussing something around the conference table.
Feng Shikuan smiled and said,"Comrade Shaoping, let me introduce you. This is Secretary Wang from the Ministry of Coal."
Secretary Wang's name was Wang Kaixuan. He was a skinny old man wearing glasses and a dark blue officer uniform.
"This is the director of the Huangyuan District Revolutionary Committee, Comrade Miao Kai."
Miao Kai was of medium build and slightly plump. He had a serious face and was not to be approached by strangers. He was very busy with revolutionary work all day. Today, he came to see a small clerk because he had to accompany Wang Kaixuan. They were classmates of the Central Party School. Wang Kaixuan's background was not something he could compare to. It was said that he had a teacher-student relationship with the person who was now in power.
"This is the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee of our Huang Yuan region, Comrade Gao Fengge."
Gao Fengge was thin, with a long and narrow face and a sallow complexion, as if he was sick. He had indeed been sick for the past few days, but his enthusiasm for revolutionary work made him unable to go to the hospital. He had never heard of Sun Shaoping, but since the boss was here, how could he not come as a follower?
"Also, these are our comrades from the provincial coal geological exploration bureau. Secretary Wang and the regional leaders are here especially for you. You have to report to the leaders about the work in our county.”
Sun Shaoping really didn't know what to report. It wasn't his turn to report to the leader. Don't tell me you want me to tell the leaders a story to liven up the atmosphere? That shouldn't be possible.
Secretary Wang smiled and said," Comrade Sun Shaoping, I heard that you discovered this coal field. I've also read the information you've compiled. The industrial chain resource integration proposed in it is very insightful and thoughtful. We've also done experiments on the blue charcoal refining method you proposed. It's very suitable for us. The cost is low, it's easy to operate, and the quality of the blue charcoal produced is also very good. You're so knowledgeable about coal, so I'd like to hear your opinion today.”
Sun Shaoping pondered for a moment and organized his words." Secretary Wang, then I'll be bold enough to say my views on the coal industry. Please correct me if I'm wrong." A country's industrial development cannot be separated from three things: electricity, oil, and steel. Our country is very short of electricity. Whether it's industrial or civil, thermal power generation is the most suitable way to generate electricity at this stage. Our country has a large coal reserve, but it's limited by mining technology... The production of steel cannot be separated from coal, and the most typical is coke. Everyone knows this... I'm most interested in the chemical technology of coal, fertilizer, plastic, synthetic rubber, fiber, explosives... Dyes and even medicine are more valuable than coal. It's actually a waste to treat coal as just a fuel. Moreover, burning it directly will cause a lot of environmental pollution. If we can take measures, such as retorting to obtain gas…"
Secretary Wang was the secretary of the Science, Technology and Education Department of the Ministry of Coal. He was not in charge of coal mining, but he saw some new ideas from the materials reported by Shaanxi Province. He organized people to do a lot of experiments. The refining of blue charcoal was one of the simplest methods. He had to ask around to find Sun Shaoping, which led to today's meeting. Now, Sun Shaoping mentioned the advanced mining technology, the blast furnace coal injection technology, the coal chemical industry, and even the environmental pollution. He had never considered it before, but it could not be said that he did not know. It was just that he had never thought about it. They had been committed to researching and promoting the new technology of coal mining and trying to catch up with the pace of foreign countries. However, no one thought much about what to do with the coal that was mined because everyone knew that coal was used for burning. Only some scientific research institutes paid attention to this. No one thought of doing it at a deeper level.
Secretary Wang smiled bitterly and said," You are right, but have you considered our specific national conditions? Our current development needs coal to provide power. Moreover, the investment you mentioned is also very large. It is difficult to overcome the large-scale application of technology.”
Sun Shaoping smiled and said," I've thought about it. We can't do high-end ones for the time being, but we can put some simple ones into production. For example, blue charcoal. We can also introduce some foreign funds and technology. I heard that Japan's steel production technology is world-leading. I think they have a great demand for blue charcoal.”
Director Wang's eyes lit up. China and Japan established diplomatic relations in 1972 and were now friendly countries. It was fine to import technology, but there was no precedent for foreign investment. Of course, this was not something he could decide. She really didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
At this moment, Miao Kai said,"Comrade Shaoping, I've been wanting to meet you for a long time. I heard from the comrades of the Exploration Bureau that the reserves of this coal mine are very large. You've discovered a treasure for the original Xi County. Since there's a treasure, we must excavate it. We must actively respond to the call of the leader of the Central Committee of the Party, Mao, to learn the spirit of the celebration. Your county is a famous advanced county in the province that learns from Dazhai in agriculture. I think it can also become an advanced county that learns from Daqing in industry. This requires people like you to be cultured, courageous, and hot-blooded. Young comrades with drive, Comrade Shikuan, young comrades like this should be given more responsibilities.”
Feng Shikuan smiled and said," Director Miao is right. Although Comrade Shaoping is young, his ability to do revolutionary work is indeed very strong. I have always thought highly of him and intend to train him well.”
"Comrade Shaoping is indeed a rare talent. Do you want to work in the coal department?"”
These words shocked many people. It was a central ministry. If one had such a resume and had local work experience, it would be difficult not to be promoted. The main thing was that they could go to Beijing, which was many times better than being in the mountains.
Sun Shaoping was also stunned, but he knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. She quickly said,"Thank you for your kindness, leaders. I will personally follow the organization's arrangements."”
Personnel transfer was not that fast. Although it was just a small clerk, the organizational procedures could not be skipped.
Many people had invited him to dinner these days, but he had rejected most of them, including Liu Haiyang. He had no choice but to go. For example, he was going to visit Tian Fujun's house tonight.
Sun Shaoping specially went to buy some gifts this time. Two bottles of Xifeng wine and two big front doors. These gifts were not cheap in this era.
When he entered the courtyard, he saw Tian Xiaoxia. She was still dressed like a boy." Why are you so late? My mother asked me to call you. Oh, you even brought a gift. Are you trying to bribe my father? I heard that you're going to Beijing. There's no need to suck up to him, right?"
"I'm here to see Grandpa Xu," Sun Shaoping said with a smile.”
Xu Aiyun, who was in the kitchen, saw Sun Shaoping and walked out with a smile."" Shaoping, you're here. Come in and have a seat. Your Grandpa Xu misses you all day, but he doesn't come over to have a seat…Woman, you always talk nonsense. Go get Shaoping a glass of water."
Sun Shaoping said," I've been quite busy recently. Auntie Xu, my grandmother took the medicine you prescribed and the effect is very good. She asked me to thank you properly."”
Xu Aiyun smiled and said,"It's good that it's effective. Why are you saying this?"?”
Tian Fujun was reading a book when he saw Sun Shaoping come in. He said,""Come, sit down. I have a question to ask you. Do you think this coal mining will have an impact on our county's agriculture? We are already short of food, and this food problem is very difficult to solve."
Sun Shaoping didn't expect Tian Fujun to tell him this. He had never thought about this before.
Sun Shaoping thought for a while and said," If we want to mine coal fields, we must first recruit people. We must recruit people from our county. Many farmers will become workers and eat commodity grain. The land in our area is relatively barren and mainly produces grains. It's of little value to the entire country's food system. We can use the excuse of coal mines occupying cultivated land to ask the country for policies. The country should have compensation.”
Tian Fujun thought for a moment and said," This is a good idea. However, our county is an advanced county that 'learns from Dazhai'. If we ask the government for policies, this advanced county will be gone."”
Sun Shaoping said with a smile," Isn't there going to be a 'Great Celebration'? You can't have both fish and bear's paw. You have to give up the fish and take the bear's paw. Besides,' learning agriculture from a stockaded village 'is a joke. It's not even a' fish'. Compared to the actual benefits that it brings to the people of the whole county, it's better to give up these false titles.”
Tian Fu Jun also smiled." I'm considered an old revolutionary, but I can't see through it as well as you can. You're right. It's fine if you don't want these false titles." However, I really can't bear to let you go. There are too few pragmatic people like you now. You're a talent. It'll be better for you if you go to the Ministry. The stage will be bigger.”
Tian Xiaoxia sat next to Sun Shaoping and listened to their conversation. She was influenced by Tian Fujun and cared about everything that happened in the country. She often worried about the country like her father. She loved reading newspapers, which allowed her to know what was happening in the country and what was happening in the world. Superior family conditions did not make her worry about life. Among her peers, they were either rural students who worried about food and clothing, or the children of officials who were full of slogans. This made her feel that she was the only one who was sober when everyone was drunk. She had a lot of opinions and thoughts that she wanted to find someone to confide in, but unfortunately, she had never found such a suitable person.
Today, when she heard Sun Shaoping say that " learning agriculture from a village " was a joke, she felt that she had found a confidant. She had the same opinion. Moreover, she felt that Sun Shaoping was a very knowledgeable person. He could always say something novel. Sometimes, what he said made her feel that it was disgraceful.
Today, Tian Fujun's family's food was rich, and there was still a pile of meat. This made Sun Shaoping a little puzzled. As a doctor, Xu Aiyun should pay attention to nutrition. Why did her family love meat so much?
Xu Guoqiang was very enthusiastic about Sun Shaoping's arrival. He said that he wanted to have a few drinks with Sun Shaoping today. Sun Shaoping also followed his advice. Xu Aiyun kept adding more dishes for him, so that Sun Shaoping didn't have the chance to add more dishes himself.
The meal took a long time, and Sun Shaoping was a little tipsy when he left.
At night, the couple lay in bed. Tian Fujun read a book before going to bed as usual. Xu Aiyun suddenly turned her head and said,"Old Tian, what do you think of Shaoping?”
Tian Fujun smiled and said,"Not bad. You're capable and knowledgeable."”
"Who told you that? What do you think of his personality?”
Tian Fujun thought for a moment and said,"She's quite cheerful. It's hard to say about other aspects."”
"What do you mean?" Xu Aiyun asked.
"He usually sounds calm when he does things, but some comrades have reported that he actually talked about storytelling in the office like a monkey. I can't see clearly, but I really like this young man.”
Xu Aiyun smiled and said," I like this child too. He's magnanimous in his words and actions. He has good eyes and a sweet tongue. Moreover, he's going to be transferred to a ministry soon. With Secretary Wang's recognition, his future will definitely be limitless. It's okay for him to be a little playful at such a young age.”
Tian Fujun smiled." I also believe that he will have a bright future. However, being an official is not something that can be done by being sweet with words, having good eyes, and flattering others. I have high hopes for his true talent.”
"Then what do you think of him and our Xiaoxia?”
"What do you mean?" Tian Fujun was stunned for a moment before he understood." You mean they're in a relationship? This kid is quite bold. He even dared to reach out to my daughter."”
Xu Aiyun gently hit her husband and said with a smile,""No, I saw that the two of them got along well and thought that they were quite compatible. You don't know your daughter's personality. She might not like someone who's crazy.”
"Don't worry about it. They're still young.”
Xu Aiyun sighed.""I can't help but worry. Runye is already in his twenties this year. Logically speaking, it's time for him to find a partner. Li Dengyun's son, Li Xiangqian, you know that kid too. He's a good person, but Runye doesn't seem to be willing. Yesterday, big brother came and wanted me to introduce a partner to Runye, so I told him about Xiangqian's situation. He didn't seem to be willing either. He felt that Li Dengyun's position was too high and that he couldn't afford it. Hehe, I say, your position isn't necessarily lower than Li Dengyun's. What's there to climb up to?"
Tian Fujun smiled and said,"Let's not care about the matters of young people. Perhaps Runye has his own ideas."”
"I can ignore Runye's matter, but I can't ignore Xiaoxia's matter. This child will graduate next year. If you can arrange Shaoping into the Revolutionary Committee, can you arrange Xiaoxia as well?”
Tian Fujun said seriously," What are you talking about? Sun Shaoping was able to enter the Revolutionary Committee because he contributed to the entire Western County. He is also a real talent. Other people's daughters can cut the queue, but my daughter, Tian Fujun's daughter, can't be special."”
Xu Aiyun shook her head and didn't argue anymore. She knew that this was the case. She knew her husband's character too well.
