(make up for yesterday's debt)

After drinking, it was already dark. Ji Chengxi accompanies Shen Huai to drink tea at the county guest house to hangover and talk about things. Tan Jun can't say anything, and he can't stay in the guest house. He can only go to Ji Chengxi first, not far from the county guest house. go to sleep at home.

But Tan Jun didn't feel sleepy either, so he sat and talked with her sister-in-law Chai Li in the living room.

Ji Chengxi didn't come back from the guest house until 1:00 in the morning. He took off his shoes and saw Tan Jun still sitting in the living room, and asked, "Why haven't you slept yet?"

"I rarely see my sister-in-law for more than half a year now. Naturally, there are endless things to talk about." Tan Jun said with a snort.

Ji Chengxi smiled, took off his coat and hung it on the hanger, pushed open the door of the small bedroom, saw his son curled up under the duvet and was sleeping soundly, he returned to the living room, took a soft cushion, and sat on the floor. Come down and rub the Sun Temple.

Seeing her husband's tired look, Chai Li asked, "Why are you still so tired by drinking tea?"

"Everyone said before that Song Hongqi was the only one in the younger generation of the Song family who seemed to be able to make a difference. Now, it seems that everyone still underestimates the potential of the Song family," Ji Chengxi said with emotion, "Shen Huai is a really cunning fox. Can a little fox talk for such a long time without struggling?"

"Isn't it because you talk in a secretive way, and you can talk about it directly, but you go around three circles to talk about it?" Tan Jun commented bluntly, "You are going around, don't talk about you, I will sit down. I feel tired listening to it by the side."

Ji Chengxi smiled, no matter how comradely the other party is with you, politics is for the benefit first. Before you are sure, who would dare to say your bottom line first? Otherwise, it would be tragic if you sold it, gave it to Yin, and made others laugh at it silly.

Chai Li knew that her husband's brain was both tired and excited, and it was difficult to fall asleep, so she did not rush him to sleep, and said, "You have racked your brains for the construction of the Jinhe Line, and also want everyone to give up their prejudices and work together. Make things happen. People around you can understand your thoughts, but Shen Huai has a big heart, and you also said that it is dangerous to cooperate with people with too big hearts..."

"Some people have big hearts, but they don't have the corresponding strength, so they can only play yin and conspiracy, and harm others in order to benefit themselves," Ji Chengxi said, "I believe that Shen Huai's vision will not be so short-sighted. , it is possible to feint a shot, but as long as they find a place where their interests are aligned, it may not be impossible for them to cooperate."

Tan Jun stared at Ji Chengxi curiously. Although people in Yanjing occasionally mentioned Shen Huai in the conversation, she didn't expect Chengxi to think about Shen Huai so deeply. She really wanted to know what happened to Chengxi. In his eyes, what kind of cunning method is Shen Huai? After listening to it, he was interested, and he was even more reluctant to go back to his room to sleep. He interjected and asked, "I am in Yanjing, and I heard from some people that Shen Huai may not be able to get along in Huaihai anymore. , brother, how do you say he faked a shot?"

"If you can find out what he did in the UK this time, and who he has met, you will know if he is feinting." Ji Chengxi laughed.

Tan Jun pouted and said, "I want to trick me into going to Sister Cheng Yi's place to help you find out the news, but I'm not that easy to deceive."

Ji Chengxi smiled and said, "Cheng Yi doesn't necessarily know anything; if Cheng Yi could know the details, Shen Huai wouldn't have to make it so complicated."

Tan Jun thought for a while before realizing what Ji Chengxi meant, rubbing his head and shouting, "I won't talk to you anymore, it's too much of a brain, I don't want to age before I get old."

Chai Li laughed. She also knew that she couldn't get any useful information from Cheng Yi. In the end, the current relationship between Cheng Yi and Shen Huai was also forced together because of the internal requirements of the Song Department. Otherwise, they were really close. When talking about marriage, Shen Huai can get the direct support of Cheng Wenguang. Some things will not be so passive, and he needs to hide his true intentions in everything.

Chai Li knew that her husband still had an appreciative attitude towards Shen Huai, so she took Tan Jun's hand and said with a smile, "Shen Huai is smart, but unfortunately his character is not very good, otherwise you can go on a blind date with him."

"Why did you get involved with me again?" Tan Jun said relentlessly, "It's scary to think about political marriage. It's rare that you have such a good relationship with my brother after getting married. I'd rather not get married in this life than listen to my family. At the mercy of some kind of blind date."

"What are you thinking about, it's a blind date, or someone can tie you to marry, isn't it to please you as much as possible?" Ji Chengxi said, looking at the wall clock on the wall, and said, "It's so late. Now, go to bed, and let your sister-in-law take you to play in Qinghe for two days, so that you won't speak ill of us when you go back."

"If you speak ill of you, I will not speak ill of your sister-in-law," Tan Jun stood up naively, ran to the bathroom to wash up, and went back to the guest room to sleep first.

****************

Ji Chengxi took a hot bath, changed his pajamas, and went back to the bedroom. Before he fell asleep, he leaned on the head of the bed and thought about things; Chai Li hugged her husband's generous back from behind and said, "Shen Huai likes the sword too much, but Tan Qiping won't let him. That's all, it makes his father don't like to see him; if you really cooperate with him, I'm really worried."

"Have you noticed that the last time Shen Huai turned against Tan Qiping in Donghua, the Song family had to call him back to Yanjing to teach him a lesson. In fact, the attitude of the old man of the Song family was ambiguous, so that the attitudes of He and Dai were also ambiguous. Unknown?" Ji Chengxi asked his wife.

"There is such a tendency," Chai Li said, "but Song Bingsheng, Su Weijun, and Tan Qiping are in Huaihai Province, and they are a relatively stable iron triangle. Song Bingsheng is in charge of contacting the province and the Song clan in Huaihai Province, and Su Weijun can contact Huaihai Province. The power is free, and Tan Qiping is a local power faction whose strength is gradually increasing and naturally tends to the Song clan. The Song clan has such a structure in Huaihai Province, on the surface, it seems that it cannot compete with Tian Jiageng and Zhao Qiuhua, but it should not be underestimated. If Shen Huai can become bigger and stronger under such a structure, it will be very beneficial to the fundamentals of the Song Department's expansion, but he is too difficult to control, so let's not talk about falling out with Tan Qiping. I can't imagine anyone in the Song family would be satisfied with his behavior..."

"In the future, it's unrealistic to want to control who to control, and more to consider, who we can influence. Shen Huai seems to have cut a large piece of his hard-earned solid territory in Donghua, but if What he did sneakily in the UK this time can make up for the losses in other parts of the Song Clan, and even make up for it, so what do you think the Song Clan will do to him?" Ji Chengxi asked.

"Do you plan to let Meigang and Huaineng deeply participate in the construction of Jinhe Line and Jihe Seaport?" Chai Li asked.

Ji Chengxi did not directly answer his wife's question, saying: "Shen Huai's most important ability, which is often overlooked, is not that he can attract a lot of capital. On the contrary, a lot of capital is willing to follow him, mainly because of his ability. He can make capital take root in the local area at the fastest speed, and can well reconcile the interests between foreign capital and local factions; at the same time, he is good at industrial layout and construction. The things that can only be done can become easy in his hands - this ability is often overlooked by others - he has such ability, naturally he is not reconciled, Tan Qiping prefers to control, not to cause conflicts It's hell. I didn't think there was anything great about this ability when I was in the State Department, but when I got to the locality and entangled with so many intricate interests, I deeply felt the value of this ability. I really hope He couldn't get along in Donghua, so it would be easier to find him to cooperate with him. There was no problem even letting him preside over the construction of the Jinhe Line. However, the situation is becoming more and more obvious now. Behind the action, there should be other intentions hidden."

"..." Chai Li looked up at her husband.

"Mei Gang and Huaineng seem to be taking big steps to make concessions now, but on the other hand, why don't they retract their arms and squeeze them into tighter fists," Ji Chengxi said. "He went to the UK this time. The whereabouts are strange, and it should be a private meeting with some capital parties. Of course, I can't draw the focus of his plan to Jihe, but it may not be possible to cooperate. "

*****************

In the guest house's room, Shen Huai was not sleepy at all, so Chu Qiang asked Chu Qiang to find a map of the southern Hebei area and study it under the lamp.

He can't find any more materials about the passage of Shanxi Coal's east-to-south route, and can only guess some clues from the geographical form.

"Ji Chengxi really wants La Huai to participate in the construction of Jihe Port with Meigang," Chu Qiang, one of the few people who knew about Shen Huai's overall plan, sighed with regret, "It's a pity that Shanxi coal is exported from the east, which is not in line with Huaihai. The interests of the province, otherwise we can really cooperate.”

East China is not without coal resources. Although the coal reserves in the western region of Huaihai and South China are not as rich as those of the four northwestern provinces, the total reserves are also tens of billions of tons.

Only after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the industrial focus of the whole country was in North China and Northeast China, so that Shanxi Coal, which is geographically close to North China and Northeast China, has been fully developed, and there are relatively complete railway lines and ports that can export coal~www.mtlnovel. com~ The economy of the southeast coast really rose after the reform and opening up, but in the early days, it was still dominated by light industry and emerging industries, and the scale of heavy industry was not as good as that of North China and Northeast China.

This industrial pattern formed over decades has a strong inertia, coupled with the lag in economic development of Huaihai Province itself, the development of coal resources in the province is doubly backward, and there is no construction of railways, highways and river ports around the coal area. , it can neither be mined nor shipped out.

Shanxi Coal's east-to-south route has been planned by the state for nearly ten years, but has not yet officially started construction; the large-scale development of Huai coal is naturally completely invisible now, and it is completely dependent on the accumulation and investment of local provinces and cities, and the growth rate is also Just extremely slow.

But in the final analysis, if Huaineng and Meigang are rooted in Huaihai in the future, and fully participate in the utilization and development of the resources of Huaihai Province, it will be more in line with their own interests.

Shen Huai said with a smile: "The development of Huai Coal has not yet been affected, so I don't think about it - and in the future, the region should be more cooperative than competition, so don't always think about suppressing others. I am only worried about participating in the construction of Jihe Port and Shanxi The construction of the river line will disperse our strength. It is not easy to raise some funds now, and good steel should be used on the blade, and I am not sure that Jihe is the blade.” (83中文网)
