The World: Tu Ziqiang's Counterattack

Shen Zude was still wearing the frayed green military uniform and the same old pair of liberation shoes, leaning against the courtyard wall of Tu Ziqiang's house, smoking a cigarette and watching Tu Ziqiang gradually approaching.

The attire was exactly the same as that day, except that Hu Yumei was missing.

"Come on..." Tu Ziqiang greeted.

"Well, here we come..." Shen Zude threw away the cigarette butt, stretched out his foot and crushed it.

"Why don't you come in, and I didn't lock the door..." Tu Ziqiang pushed open the door with one hand, and complained as familiarly as an old friend, "Please come in."

"Ha, the air outside is good, but the room is stuffy." Shen Zude rubbed the soles of his shoes on the ground twice before stepping into the room.

The temperature in Jichun City in May was not low, but Shen Zude was still wearing the pair of cotton socks in his Jiefang shoes.

"Didn't go home?" Tu Ziqiang asked.

"Not coming back." Shen Zude pursed his lips and smiled, "The car will go to Shengjing in a while."

"Well, smoking..." Tu Ziqiang pushed Zhonghua on the kang table.

"I'm smoking peonies now," Shen Zude took out half a box of peonies, "you gave it to me."

"Ha, the peony is pretty good..." Tu Ziqiang smiled and picked up Zhonghua and lit one for himself.

Smoke curled up, and the two men smoked in silence.

"Hu Yumei, a silly girl, has shouldered all the crimes..." Shen Zude said sarcastically, but his eyes were clearly a little moist, "Believe in me all my life, ha, at the most critical moment, I lost my life by making my own decisions."

"She's not only for you, maybe her younger brother." Tu Ziqiang said with a long sigh.

"You really think so?" Shen Zude turned his head slowly, looked at Tu Ziqiang and repeated, "You really think so?"

"I don't know." Tu Ziqiang pursed his lips and shook his head slowly.

"Then let me tell you," Shen Zude tilted his head slightly, "it doesn't matter whether he committed a crime or not..."

"Well, like you." Tu Ziqiang chuckled and looked at Shen Zude quietly.

"Yes, like me." Shen Zude smiled brightly, and tears flowed silently, "This silly girl, this life is for nothing."

"My condolences," Tu Ziqiang patted Shen Zude's hand, "One must look forward. Going to Shengjing is also good, a new environment and a new life."

"Hey, I made you laugh." Shen Zude burst into tears indiscriminately, "My heart is a little confused."

"The ax can't cut the handle, so I'm just talking about other people's ability." Tu Ziqiang smiled slightly.

"People just can't be idle, they just think about it." Shen Zude pursed his lips and laughed at himself, "There must be a price to be paid for doing anything. Hey, I just don't want to pay the price that I don't have to pay."

"In terms of work, give pointers?" Shen Zude restrained his smile and looked very sincere.

"Not to mention guidance," Tu Ziqiang smiled slightly, "You must have seen the key point clearly, which is to grasp the demand and exchange supply for demand."

"Hey, let's not be modest in our relationship." Shen Zude waved his hand and took out a small notebook, "I'll remember what you say."

"I don't know much about the situation in Liaoshen, so I'll just pick what I know." Tu Ziqiang said slowly, and Shen Zude recorded it.

"Compared with Jichun Province and Hongchang Province, Liaoshen Province has a much lower grain output." Tu Ziqiang paused, tapping his fingers on the table, "As far as I know, only Panzhou City is a grain-producing area that barely makes a living. But, Panzhou has oil.”

"Well, not professional." Shen Zude nodded slowly after thinking for a while, and wrote the word Panzhou on the small book and drew a circle.

"The foundation of the mutual aid society is to get as much food as possible..." Tu Ziqiang paused for a moment, then continued after seeing Shen Zude nodding, "So..."

"Jichun uses wood products as a breakthrough point to siphon food from the surrounding citizens to lay a foundation, and then increase production through chemical fertilizer factories." Shen Zude continued, "Then we in Liaoshen can also follow the prescription. We have steel, machinery, and oil!"

"Look, food can't fall from the sky. Either increase your own production, or exchange it with the surrounding area." Tu Ziqiang reached out and took a pen to draw on a small notebook, "Liaoshen is next to the big pancake province and stewed cake province. These provinces are all populous provinces, and there is a shortage of food itself.”

"The braised noodle province next to the stewed cake province has also had a major case due to food shortages..." Shen Zude nodded repeatedly.

"Don't think about these two provinces." Tu Ziqiang casually crossed out the stewed pancake province and the big pancake province.

"You mean, you can only make an idea from your Jichun and Hongchang Province?" Shen Zude rubbed his chin.

"It's mainly red sausage province," Tu Ziqiang wrote the word "red sausage" on the notebook, and drew a big circle, "some of the red sausage province is black land, and the few are just..."

"Fertilizer..." Shen Zude smiled wryly, "But Liaoshen can't build a fertilizer factory."

"Do you understand the chemical fertilizer?" Tu Ziqiang looked at Shen Zude, who shook his head.

"Let me nag you..." Tu Ziqiang said slowly, "Chemical fertilizers are mainly divided into three types..."

Shen Zude listened to Tu Ziqiang's introduction quietly, after a long time.

"You mean," Shen Zude raised his head slowly, his eyes gleaming, "Let us Liaoshen go to Prussia to engage in phosphate rock, and then exchange fertilizer with you?"

"It's not just fertilizer," Tu Ziqiang waved his hand, "Through mutual aid, you can exchange anything!"

Shen Zude nodded thoughtfully.

"It's not about exchanging phosphate rock..." Tu Ziqiang coughed dryly, "The Mutual Aid Association in Liaoshen can set up a rough processing plant for phosphate rock, so..."

"In this way, the Liaoshen Mutual Aid Association will have a point of common interest appeal, which can unite more comrades in Liaoshen." Shen Zude pondered for a while and clicked his lips, "Qiangzi, you really have no secrets at all."

"Hey, both of us are here to do something practical for the masses, right?" Tu Ziqiang looked at Shen Zude sincerely.

"Brother, my brother apologizes for being late!" Shen Zude looked at Tu Ziqiang silently for a long time, then stood up and bowed deeply.

"Hey, I didn't take it to heart," Tu Ziqiang waved his hand boldly, and stretched out his hand to pull Shen Zude up, "Let's talk about it!"

Shen Zude nodded seriously.

"Liaoshen has a lot of things that Prussia lacks," Tu Ziqiang continued with a slight smile, "Deputy Director Shen has an advantage in handling the relationship between transportation and Prussia, so you don't need to thank me."

Shen Zude smiled slightly...

The two brothers chatted for a while, and Shen Zude reluctantly got up and said goodbye to drive the car.

Tu Ziqiang sent him to the door, and they kept in touch after shaking hands.

Looking at Shen Zude's back, Tu Ziqiang pouted, turned and went back to the room.

As for Shen Zude, he walked out of the alley with twists and turns, and got into a black Volga parked on the side of the street.

"He knows everything," Shen Zude said with a long breath while sitting in the back seat, "They have nothing to hide from him..."

"Are you sure?" Shen Yan, who was sitting on the side, frowned and asked.

"Yes." Shen Zude nodded slowly.

There was no sound in the car for a long time.

"I still want to see him," Shen Yan said, "tomorrow."

"Hmm." Shen Zude nodded silently, opened the door and got out of the car with a hum.

"What are you doing?" Shen Yan asked.

"Go to Shengjing." Shen Zude said softly.

"Let's go together tomorrow." Shen Yan stretched out his hand to hold Shen Zude's arm.

"No," Shen Zude smiled and broke away from Shen Yan's hand, "I don't want to stay here for a minute."

boom……

The door is closed.

Shen Yan looked out of the car window, thoughtful...
