After the Northwest Senior Cadres Meeting, Mao Zedong rewarded Wang Zhen, Xi Zhongxun and others for their outstanding leadership in economic construction, and even wrote the inscription "The interests of the party come first" to Xi Zhongxun. Mao Zedong met Xi Zhongxun alone. In view of his outstanding work in Guanzhong, he appointed him to Suide as secretary of the prefectural committee.
At the beginning of his appointment, Xi Zhongxun met Deputy Secretary Bai Zhimin and Secretary-General An Zhiwen, who welcomed them with great grandeur and enthusiasm. Song Yangchu, secretary of the county party committee, was very envious when he saw Chairman Mao's inscription to Xi Zhongxun. Xi Zhongxun also hung it on the wall very formally, thinking that this sentence was a requirement and encouragement for every party member.
At this time, An Wenqin and many other congressmen came to visit Xi Zhongxun. Xi Zhongxun had long heard about the lean troops and streamlined administration, rent reduction and interest reduction, and support for the three-three system he mentioned at the border district meeting and respected him very much. Therefore, Xi Zhongxun told everyone that they want to absorb capable people, lofty ideals and intellectuals into government agencies to the greatest extent possible, fully mobilize the enthusiasm of all parties, and benefit the people.
In addition, Xi Zhongxun also talked about his preliminary thoughts. First, he wanted to find out the situation in Suide as soon as possible, rectify the work style, and unify his thinking; second, he wanted to develop production, and cadres from the government agencies took the lead in going deep into the countryside to conduct research. Later, at the suggestion of An Wenqin, Xi Zhongxun took people to Haojiaqiao Village to actively investigate and mingle with the masses.
On the other hand, the Northwest Bureau assigned a group of young people from the Middle School of Yan'an University to carry out the work, and they worked together to become one of the team leaders, leading all the transferred cadre students to work in Suide Normal School. As soon as everyone arrived, they saw a large banner welcoming Xi Zhongxun. An Zhiwen told everyone about the complicated situation here. Fortunately, they were all mentally prepared.
After Qi Xin and others had finished meeting An Zhiwen, Gu Lin led people in from outside and was about to start a cadre interrogation campaign in Suishi Division. That night, Gu Lin found a piece of paper posted on the school announcement, which asked the cadre review team to evacuate the school. He was furious. Just when he was about to order a thorough investigation, his entourage Yang Io was attacked and his forehead was injured. Because of the darkness, Can't see clearly the face of the attacker.
The next morning, Gu Lin angrily went to An Zhiwen and told An Zhiwen about the situation. He solemnly stated that he would immediately impose comprehensive military control on Suide Normal University and strictly inspect every student and every faculty member. An Zhiwen reassured Gu Lin not to get too excited. Although the situation was special, it was not necessary to implement military control. Gu Lin was dissatisfied that Xi Zhongxun wanted to conduct research at this time and insisted that he would station at Suide Normal University for review.
When Xi Zhongxun learned that Gu Lin was coming to review cadres, he felt vaguely uncomfortable. He felt that it was very important to grasp this policy, but he could not overstep his authority, so he asked Song Yangchu to go back with Bai Zhimin first, and let him serve as the secretary of the Party branch of Suide Normal University. , find out the problem clearly, and resolutely prevent deviations in the review process.
After Song Yangchu left, Xi Zhongxun held a commendation meeting as soon as possible, setting up models such as Liu Yuhou and encouraging everyone to do a good job in production. At the same time, Gu Lin reported to Kang Sheng that there were big problems in Suide Normal University, but An Zhiwen also reported a different situation and felt that Gu Lin was exaggerating because they forced confessions from teachers and students, causing many students to be afraid. Suide Normal University people People are in danger, and the confessions obtained are completely untrue.
However, Kang Sheng didn't listen to An Zhiwen at all and angrily accused them of not having a positive attitude towards work and blindly defending Gu Lin. Gu Lin then reported to Kang Sheng that there was a female student named Nie Meichu who had been captured by the Kuomintang and an uncle who was a spy. Under Kang Sheng's orders, Gu Lin personally interrogated Nie Meichu, using both soft and hard tactics, scaring the other party into tears and trembling.
