Mixed in the last days as a salted fish

Chapter 330
Faced with the aggressiveness of Consul Ji, Zhang Hao didn't want to be led by the nose completely, so he chose to fight back a little.

He took out a pre-compiled investigation report from his briefcase, and then threw out his real policy goals.

That’s the “socialized parenting” program.

After hearing this, Consul Ji couldn't help but be amazed: "Xiao Zhang, did you think of all these yourself?"

"Well, just some immature little ideas."

Zhang Hao nodded modestly.

Consul Ji immediately gave a thumbs up: "I have to admit, I was a bit misjudged, if you didn't tell me, I really didn't realize the seriousness of the problem.

Take this socialized parenting plan as an example. At first glance, it feels like nonsense, but when you think about it carefully, you will unconsciously break out in a cold sweat.

All in all, apart from other things, your observation and political acumen are far beyond the average person, even including me. "

"Uncle Ji, you are too generous."

Zhang Hao couldn't help feeling a little secretly proud.

Although the real world has changed beyond recognition due to the butterfly effect, the general direction and trend of society will not change.

This is his greatest advantage, seeing farther and more thoroughly than everyone else.

"There is no one else here, let's not talk nonsense." Consul Ji smiled and waved his hands, "Although I have known that the birth rate is a bit low these years, I have never taken it to heart. In difficult times, let’s find ways to increase the enthusiasm for childbearing.”

Consul Ji paused, and then spoke earnestly:

"Thinking about it now, we have all seriously underestimated the consequences of this matter. If it is delayed for another ten or eight years, even if it can be resolved by then, we will pay a very high price."

20 years is exactly one generation.

In fact, in the population structure, the most feared thing is the emergence of generational gaps, and the side effects it brings are much more serious than most people imagine.

When Zhang Hao heard this, he immediately cut to the chase and said, "Uncle Ji, if I am lucky enough to be the consul, then 'socialized upbringing' will become the top priority of all my work in the next term.

In other words, I hope that during my term of office, I can initially build a framework for socialized parenting. If there is not enough time, at least I will try my best to promote socialized parenting in several metropolitan areas, so as to accumulate for the comprehensive popularization of socialized parenting in the future. Valuable experience. "

"Okay, your ambition is commendable! If your kid really succeeds in this matter, you will definitely make a lot of merit."

Consul Ji spoke highly of it.

Zhang Hao immediately hit the iron while it was hot: "Uncle Ji, I am inexperienced, and I cannot do this alone. I want your support."

"Don't worry, I've kept this document, and we'll talk about it in detail after you officially take over."

Consul Ji did not give a positive answer.

In any case, this matter is very involved, and it is impossible to determine it based on two or three hours of conversation between the two, and it needs to be discussed in the long run.

Zhang Hao couldn't figure out the other party's real thoughts, so he could only keep this matter in his heart for the time being.

Next, the two sides had a lunch together.

From Zhang Hao's point of view, this lunch wasn't very good, but it wasn't too bad. There were four dishes and one soup in total, both meat and vegetables, and there was no shortage of oil and water. It was probably at the same level as the university cafeterias in the past.

After lunch, Consul Ji took Zhang Hao for a brief tour of the Consul's mansion.

After the visit, Zhang Hao officially left.

……

After seeing off the guests, Consul Ji immediately called the Chief of Staff Xia Congwen over.

"Consul, how are you talking?"

"Old Xia, take a look at this document first."

Consul Ji pointed to the folder on the table.

Xia Congwen picked up the folder, flipped through it quickly, and soon had a bottom line in his heart:
"Is this brought by Zhang Hao?"

Consul Ji nodded: "That's right, what do you think of this 'socialized upbringing'?"

"Rough, but thought-provoking."

Xia Congwen hit the nail on the head.

"Yeah, we both underestimated Zhang Hao. There is nothing worse than a person who can make a difference in business." Consul Ji paused for a moment, then changed the subject: "You think it's his own?" An idea, or someone to help with a plan?"

Xia Congwen bowed his head and thought for a while, before expressing his own judgment: "Judging from this document alone, there are many flaws in the words and sentences, and he should have written it himself."

This guess was right, Zhang Hao stayed up all night for a whole week in order to prepare this proposal.

"I think so too." Consul Ji echoed.

"Consul, we have to be careful."

Xia Congwen said solemnly.

Consul Ji frowned: "How?"

Xia Congwen shook the folder in his hand: "From this, I can see that Zhang Hao has a big plan. If this plan is really implemented, there is a high probability that he will be re-elected smoothly. We have to guard against it."

And once Zhang Hao is re-elected successfully, the situation will change fundamentally. You must know that there are other regions outside the mainland, and the other party is not alone.

"I've also thought of what you said." Consul Ji sighed helplessly, "But this socialized parenting policy really cannot be ignored. We can't stop it, otherwise you and I will become historical sinners."

"Consul, since you can't stop it, then postpone this plan and try it out in a small area first, and then we will fully promote it after five years."

Xia Congwen immediately thought of a solution.

"The key is that time does not wait for me!"

Consul Ji hesitated.

Xia Congwen got up and came to the old leader, persuading him in a low voice: "Consul, if calculated according to last year's grain production, the current population is actually surplus. Years is not a bad thing."

"Lao Xia, be careful with your words."

Consul Ji hurriedly reminded him.

They planned the Middle East war back then, and the result far exceeded expectations, but the process was a bit too cruel. Although he didn't regret it, he felt a huge burden in his heart.

Especially in the past two years, I don’t know where a documentary documenting the living conditions of Africans came out.

Xia Congwen smiled wryly: "Consul, we have to make some choices. It's better to die than die a family..."

"Okay, stop persuading me." Consul Ji waved his hand, "Even if socialization is implemented, the newly added population is a new generation, they are the future, they are hope, no matter how much they pay, they are worth it. "

"Consul, if Zhang Hao gains great popularity, it will be very bad for us!"

Xia Congwen quickly reminded.

"Old Xia, if Zhang Hao really has this ability, why not let him be re-elected?" Consul Ji suddenly became generous, "Besides, since Zhang Hao dared to reveal the plan to me in advance, he is not afraid of my temporary replacement, which shows that he is not that kind of person." You scheming and gloomy person, you think too much."

"But what if?"

"There is no chance. He will conduct a global investigation as soon as he takes office. We can take advantage of the situation and hand over this matter to Fan Zhenxiang..."

"Isn't Fan Zhenxiang the deputy consul? How did he interfere? Isn't the name justified?"

Consul Ji smiled slightly: "I've changed my mind, let him be the executive dean!"

"Why?" Xia Congwen was taken aback.

If this is the case, it means that Fan Zhenxiang has completely missed the position of consul.

"No way, there has been a lot of movement on Europa recently. After thinking about it, I still think it should be safer and not let them get involved with the Executive Yuan."

Consul Ji explained solemnly.

Compared with the Chief Executive, although the Deputy Consul is nominally the second-in-command of the Federation, he is actually just a substitute for the Consul and the first heir to the highest power.

In other words, the consul can let the deputy consul have nothing to do, but cannot remove the deputy consul.

As for whether the Deputy Consul has administrative powers?
The specifics depend on the wishes of the consul himself, and there is a lot of room for manipulation. Consul Ji and others seized on this point and wanted to force Zhang Hao to give up real power.

Xia Congwen's eyes widened in an instant: "Then Fan Zhenxiang..."

"The plan didn't change quickly, so he can only serve two terms as Executive Premier.

In a sense, this is the most powerful executive dean since the founding of the Federation, even surpassing the previous consuls, absolutely no loss. "

Consul Ji has just made up his mind.

This is currently the safest solution.

"The Zhang Hao side... really let him be re-elected? Anyway, the consul is the consul, and he holds the righteous name. Fan Zhenxiang may not be able to compete."

Xia Congwen said worriedly.

"I can't control that much anymore, let's talk about the future!" Consul Ji waved his hand, "Zhang Hao is a complete political amateur, if Fan Zhenxiang can't compete, he can't blame others."

In fact, in the final analysis, Consul Ji is also on guard against Fan Zhenxiang. As a qualified superior, he must be good at using political balance.

Xia Congwen was very experienced, and quickly saw some clues from the old leader's face, so he echoed:
"Consul, you are still wise!"

"Actually, it doesn't matter who the two of them are in power, as long as the Europa people don't benefit from it, this is the bottom line."

"I see. I'll find a time right away and convey your thoughts to Fan Zhenxiang."

Consul Ji smiled with satisfaction, and then waved his hand: "Don't look for time, just do it now! Finally, give him a word for me."

"What?"

"Water is good for all things without fighting!"

……

At the same time, Minde's Zhongxin Agricultural Company.

Li Ningtao immediately saw the relevant news about the consul candidate. At first he thought it was just the same name, but when he clicked on it, he found out that he was really a cousin.

"Brother Xu, something serious happened."

Zhang Xu was arranging his employees to plant sugar beets. Looking at his cousin who was rushing towards him, he responded casually:
"What's the matter? Is there another person from my hometown? Let me tell you, our employees have already been fully recruited, and we really can't arrange them. Let them go to Minde Times! There are many job opportunities there."

In recent years, the days in the whole north have been getting worse every day. The main reason is that the freezing period of the port is getting longer and longer.

As early as two years ago, even Laoshan became a perpetual frozen port, and logistics and transportation depended entirely on trains and roads.

Efficiency is naturally greatly reduced.

Under such circumstances, the mainland has set off round after round of southward migration. In just ten years, the entire north has lost more than one-third of its population.

Li Ningtao shook his head, and quickly explained: "Brother Xu, there is no one from my hometown. I want to talk about cousin Zhang Hao."

"Zhang Hao? What happened to him?"

Zhang Xu stopped immediately.

During the economic crisis a few years ago, their company also encountered a crisis of survival. If it wasn't for the help of my cousin, they would not have survived.

You don't need to ask, if something happens to your cousin, they will suffer as well, and they may lose their qualifications to grow sugar beets.

Li Ningtao took a few breaths, then passed the phone over, and said excitedly:

"My cousin is going to be a consul."

"What? You're not kidding me, are you?"

Zhang Xu was so shocked that he almost threw his phone away.

"If you don't believe me, read the news yourself. It's all reported above. Consul Ji directly nominated his cousin as the candidate for consul. The probability of winning is very high."

"Come on, let's go to the office and talk."

Zhang Xuli pulled his cousin away from the planting area.

Five minutes later, Zhang Chongyi, who was living in Huicheng for the elderly, received a call from his eldest son.

Zhang Xu originally wanted to call his cousin and uncle, but unfortunately he couldn't get through at all, either the phone was turned off or the line was busy.

There is no other way, so I can only call my old man first, and ask the other party to ask the specific situation in person.

"Boss..."

"Dad, have you watched the news?"

Zhang Xu said impatiently.

"News? What news are you watching?"

Zhang Chongyi was at a loss.

"Dad, I have good news for you. Our old Zhang family is about to produce talents." Zhang Xu said excitedly.

"I know that your uncle and Zhang Hao are both talented people, and you and Zhang Kun can only count as half..."

Zhang Chongyi nagged.

"Hey, Dad, where are you thinking, I'll tell you directly, Zhang Hao is going to be the consul."

"What? I didn't hear clearly, please say it again."

After all, Zhang Chongyi was almost 80 years old, so he really didn't hear clearly, and his third brother, who was five years younger than him, died of illness within two years of moving to Huicheng.

Zhang Xu shouted loudly on the phone: "Dad, Zhang Hao is going to be the Consul of the Federation, the position under Ji Zhangqiu's ass."

As soon as the voice fell, there was only a "bang", and the call was cut off.

Zhang Chongyi didn't care about picking up his phone, and immediately urged his granddaughter-in-law, who was cleaning the dining table, to turn on the TV, and then directly tuned to the news station.

Coincidentally, the news station was doing a special report on the current general election, and Zhang Hao's photo was hung in the middle of the screen, which was clear at a glance.

Zhang Xu was going crazy, thinking that his father couldn't stand the stimulation and had a heart attack.

Fortunately, the phone was quickly connected again, and the voice of the daughter-in-law came from inside.

Knowing that his father was fine, Zhang Xu breathed a sigh of relief: "Haixia, send grandpa to your great-grandpa's house right away, and call me later if there is a situation."

"Understood, Dad." Wu Haixia nodded, and then said in disbelief: "Dad, Uncle Zhang Haotang from Grandpa's family is really going to be a consul?"

"The news is out, how could it be fake?"

"It was really a surprise." Wu Haixia said with emotion.

"Your cousin is a man of great ability. I am not surprised that he can become a consul."

Zhang Xu couldn't help showing off.

Wu Haixia echoed with a smile: "Indeed, I never thought our family could produce such a big official."

"Okay, let's stop talking, you guys go quickly! When it's time, don't forget to call me back."

Zhang Xu exhorted.

"Okay, Dad, let's go now."

Wu Haixia hung up the phone.
