Reborn as Zhao Ruilong of Handong, I will defy fate.

Chapter 316 No amount of persuasion can change my mind! I, Luo Shanhe, am determined to go my own wa

A thud.

Ge Junshan slammed the door shut.

His wife, Luo Chunxia, ​​who was passing by, was startled.

"What are you doing? What has this door done to you?"

"No!"

"Then why did you slam the door shut?"

"I'm afraid if the force isn't strong enough, it won't turn off."

Watching her husband leave, Luo Chunxia looked on with suspicion.

As a housewife, how could she not know that someone regularly cleans and maintains the house?

There is absolutely no situation where the door is old and requires force to close.

The husband slamming the door only means he's angry.

Despite holding a high position and wielding great power, he hasn't been angry for many years.

In his own words, getting angry solves nothing and only harms the body.

But why did he get so angry on his birthday?

The door slammed shut so loudly that many people chatting in the living room were startled.

"It's alright, everyone keep chatting. Maybe this door is just a bit old!"

Luo Chunxia opened the door with a smile.

After making a show of swaying, he went inside and gently closed the door.

She saw her younger brother, Luo Shanhe, standing at the window with his hands on his hips, lost in thought.

Luo Chunxia was even more puzzled.

"Did you have a fight with your brother-in-law?"

Luo Chunxia stepped forward and asked.

"No!"

Luo Shanhe turned slightly to the side and smiled at his sister.

"How could I possibly argue with him?"

“He is of a higher rank than me, has more power than me, and today is also his birthday.”

Luo Chunxia chuckled softly.

Her brother's words only strengthened her suspicions.

"Even if you two didn't have a fight, you must have had a disagreement about work, am I right?"

Luo Shanhe smiled slightly, feigning ease.

"There was a slight disagreement, but it's not a big problem."

"Not a big problem?"

Luo Chunxia turned and pointed to the door.

"I've never seen him get this angry in all these years, slamming the door so hard it shook the whole place!"

"Sit down and tell me honestly what you two talked about. Sit down! Sit down now!"

The eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest sister is like a mother.

Luo Shanhe had no choice but to obey his sister's orders.

Moreover, his smooth career advancement was largely due to his sister's tireless help over the years.

"Actually, it's very simple. In order to develop a high-quality economy faster and better, and at the same time, to ease social conflicts, prevent power monopolies, and narrow the gap between the rich and the poor, Handong is preparing to carry out in-depth reforms..."

Luo Shanhe quickly and concisely recounted the conversation between the two.

And what about Luo Chunxia?

She did not rush to express her opinion.

She knew that her younger brother was honest, upright, and incorruptible.

He is upright and truly considers himself a public servant.

He was always gentle, modest, and composed, and rarely showed anger or disappointment.

And what about the husband?

He used to be selfless and devoted to the people.

In recent years, however, they have become more enthusiastic about vying for power and profit.

From her younger brother's description, Luo Chunxia clearly sensed that her husband did not want to support her brother or Handong.

Because once you support him, it's equivalent to supporting Zhao Lichun and the reformists.

If the reforms in Handong are successful by then, my husband, who is about to retire, will not benefit from them.

On the contrary, as the successful experience of Handong is promoted nationwide, it will affect their own interests.

but……

Since her husband hasn't made it clear, why should she spell it out herself?

To be a good peacemaker, the best thing you can do is to smooth things over.

"Is it gone?"

"It's gone!"

"Is that all?"

"Yes, but I feel like my brother-in-law doesn't want to support us."

"Oh, that's just your feeling. Do you think I don't know what kind of person he is?"

Luo Chunxia smiled and reached out to pat her younger brother.

Don't overthink it!

"In my eyes, you are all great."

"It's just that you and he have different positions, different jurisdictions, and different responsibilities, so naturally you consider things differently. Therefore, you have to understand your brother-in-law."

Luo Shanhe remained silent.

But a faint, ambiguous smile remained on his face.

When Luo Chunxia, ​​the older sister, saw her younger brother in this state...

I knew that what I said earlier had no effect whatsoever.

"To be honest, Handong has a unique advantage and a relatively good economic foundation. In addition, the Zhao family is indeed quite good at making money."

"Isn't Huilong Group just a company that invests hundreds of millions or even billions of US dollars in Handong, undertaking all sorts of high-tech projects?"

"Think about it, with so much money poured in, even the most stubborn person would be won over. And if you offer enough benefits, who would resist?"

"In addition, I also heard that Zhao Lichun has been working in Handong since he entered politics, and has been cultivating his influence for more than 20 years. He not only has a deep foundation within the system, but is also deeply loved by the people."

"So, since you in Handong have both money and a solid foundation, you can naturally be bold in trying new things and take risks. As long as you are wholeheartedly for the people, no matter how radical you are, you will not cause any major problems."

"The higher-ups saw the advantages of Handong, which is why they supported Handong in conducting the pilot program. So your brother-in-law wasn't wrong. You're already conducting the pilot program, so why would you need his support?"

"You asked him if he would lead the opposition, that's a bit hurtful, little brother. If he opposed you, he wouldn't have let you conduct the pilot program in Handong in the first place, nor would he have let you go to Handong!"

Seeing her younger brother nod slightly, Luo Chunxia quickly changed the subject and sighed:

"Shanhe, you also have to think about this. Our Dragon Kingdom doesn't just have Handong Province. Many provinces have weak economies and can't withstand too much turmoil."

“As the supervisor of the Han Dong region, you can focus your attention solely on Han Dong, but your brother-in-law is different; he has to coordinate and take care of more than thirty other provinces and cities!”

"To ensure the stability and order of a country with over a billion people, don't we have to be cautious in everything we do? Besides, while some people are making great strides, others also need to be careful and prudent to avoid things getting out of control, right?"

Luo Shanhe frowned and said, "But the current situation is already quite shocking!"

Do you know how high the criminal case rate is? There are millions of criminal cases every year!

"Do you even know how big the gap between the rich and the poor is? Some people can buy houses and cars worth hundreds of thousands of yuan at will, and spend thousands of yuan on a single meal, while hundreds of millions of rural people work hard all year and only earn two or three thousand yuan!"

"In many places, the problem isn't a weak economy, but rather a large wealth gap. Ultimately, it's because many people, relying on their power, have placed their relatives and friends into the system, forming numerous bureaucratic capitalist interest groups of all sizes..."

"Okay, okay!"

Luo Chunxia frowned and said:

"I am not very familiar with the situations you mentioned."

"But as a pilot province, Handong has already shouldered the heavy responsibility of reform. How to deepen the reform is your own business. Do you need his support?"

"But your in-depth reforms haven't even started yet, there's not even a formal plan. How can you expect him to support you just by spouting a bunch of passionate words?"

“If you have a good reform plan that will indeed benefit the country and the people after its implementation, and you encounter difficulties that you cannot solve, your brother-in-law will definitely support you without you having to say anything.”

Luo Shanhe gave his sister a meaningful look.

He knew that his sister was trying to smooth things over for her brother-in-law.

"What kind of look is that? Did I say something wrong?"

Luo Chunxia said with a serious expression:

"Handong has the right and the conditions to reform, so you can go ahead and do whatever you want."

"But your brother-in-law is responsible for the stability of the whole country, so he certainly can't easily make a statement, but he will definitely be your strong support!"

Luo Shanhe gave a light hum.

In his mind, there was still the image of his brother-in-law standing up angrily, shouting fiercely.

The phrase "Are you fucking crazy?" kept echoing in his mind.

To act like that, to shout so angrily...

How could Luo Shanhe still believe that his brother-in-law hadn't changed?

"Sister, you don't need to persuade me anymore, and you don't need to explain to him."

"Whether my brother-in-law supports it or not, we will definitely change!"

"We will not stop reforming just because we are afraid of causing big trouble or chaos!"

"Moreover, I believe that since we are wholeheartedly for the people, the people will definitely support us!"

"With the support of the people, no matter how great the difficulties and obstacles, we will succeed!"

Seeing her younger brother's resolute decision, Luo Chunxia couldn't help but sigh softly.

She knew she had failed in her attempt to fool him.

The younger brother simply didn't believe her defense of her husband.

After glancing at the closed door, Luo Chunxia turned back.

"When you told him today that Handong wants to deepen reforms, I'm afraid you weren't trying to get his support, but rather to preemptively prevent him from having any reason to stop or cause trouble, right?"

Luo Shanhe turned to look at his sister with some surprise.

"That's exactly what I thought."

"He doesn't have to support it, but he shouldn't oppose it either."

Luo Chunxia sighed inwardly.

"It seems that all these years, he has nurtured and promoted you, and you haven't appreciated it at all..."

Luo Shanhe interjected, "I am very grateful to him for helping me get promoted all the way, giving me more power so that I can better serve the people."

"But you should know that he keeps helping you improve, not just so you can serve the people, but also because he hopes you can help him at times. Don't you understand?"

Luo Chunxia asked with a pained expression.

"I understand, but I also need to consider the specifics, whether it involves breaking the law or violating regulations, and whether it will harm the people!"

Luo Shanhe's statement nearly made Luo Chunxia faint.

My brother's principles are just too strong.

If it were someone else...

With such a great favor of promotion and important appointment, one would not hesitate to commit murder and arson.

It seems that expecting the younger brother to reciprocate or bend the law for personal gain is completely impossible.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Chunxia steadied herself.

Then, forcing a smile, he said slowly and deliberately:

"Whether you want to repay your brother-in-law or not, let's not talk about that for now. He doesn't need you to repay him now."

"I just want to know, if the reforms you're talking about are implemented, does it mean that everyone, whether a civil servant or a public institution employee, will have to take an exam to get in, and that there will be stricter supervision and constraints?"

"Yes!"

Luo Shanhe's gaze was firm, and his tone resolute as he spoke:

"Power cannot be fostered by nepotism, and must never be transferred privately. Moreover, it must be strictly restrained. Otherwise, if power is passed around among those with connections, it will be a disaster for the people!"

"What was the purpose of the Six Dynasties? They only served to enrich their own families and schemes! Throughout history, how many dynasties have fallen because of the excessive concentration of power, which led to class stratification, a huge gap between the rich and the poor, and left the common people with no way to survive?"
