Chapter 165 Liu Zhiye appeared on "People's Police"

Liu Zhiye has been living a routine life these days. After the training camp got on track, he has less things to do.

He would occasionally go back home to visit his parents and his wife Gan Ning, and he also often went to the Red Star Factory to handle some accumulated business.

On Sundays, he also invited his family to Liujiazhuang to spend the weekend and relax. The village has a beautiful environment and fresh air, which makes people feel very comfortable.

When he had time, he would go to the village early to inspect the progress of the "three major projects", including the planting of Chinese herbal medicines, afforestation of fruit trees, and the construction of the village primary school, roads and other facilities.

While dealing with these matters, he also did not forget to use his free time to continue to improve his abilities, enrich himself, and prepare for future challenges.

While Liu Zhiye was busy, the villagers were also busy. They were not only busy with farm work, but also had to allocate manpower to plant trees, build school roads, etc.

Even the primary school students after school have to go to the mountains to collect grass for the livestock, while the elderly people weave baskets at home. The whole village is filled with a prosperous and lively atmosphere, full of busyness and vitality.

That day, Liu Zhiye came to the construction site again and saw the third uncle holding a big stone and struggling to move it out.

He hurried forward and greeted him, "Hey! Uncle, take it easy!" Then he helped him move the stone to the side.

Under the scorching sun, the third uncle was sweating profusely. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "We are short of manpower now, so we old guys have to do it ourselves." His words revealed helplessness and fatigue, but also showed the efforts they made to complete the task.

Liu Zhiye looked at the bustling construction scene in front of him and sighed: "Manpower alone is obviously not enough. Where are the big animals in the village?"

"There are only a few horses and mules in the village. They are either turning the soil in the fields or pulling saplings on the hillside!" The third uncle responded, shaking his head helplessly.

"Hey, it would be nice to have a tractor!" Liu Zhiye exclaimed when he saw this.

The old man at the side asked in confusion: "What kind of chicken is a tractor?"

Liu Zhiye explained: "Grandpa Qi, it's not a chicken, it's a tractor." However, when he saw the other party's confused face, he shook his head helplessly.

Seeing this, the third uncle laughed and explained, "That thing is a machine, similar to the tanks in the army, it can both pull things and plow the land..."

The old man asked in surprise: "Wow! Isn't this the Iron Ox?"

Liu Zhiye smiled and replied: "You are right this time. This tractor really has a nickname called 'Iron Bull'."

"Does this iron ox also eat grass?" the old man asked curiously.

"Well! If you don't eat grass, you'll waste fuel..." Liu Zhiye responded with a helpless smile.

Seeing this, the third uncle quickly pulled Liu Zhiye away, saying with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "Hey! What are you arguing with this old man about! He is almost getting senile."

Liu Zhiye couldn't help laughing when he heard this and said, "The villagers have never seen this thing before, so they are all very curious. By the way, Uncle San, what do you think if I can help buy a tractor for the village?"

The third uncle was very surprised and asked: "You can get a tractor? Did I hear it right? This thing can't be bought even if you have money. It is allocated by the state."

Liu Zhiye smiled and nodded, saying to him: "Have you always forgotten what our Red Star Factory is? Our factory specializes in producing supporting equipment for those tractor-producing companies. Others can't get it, but our factory can do it."

"It's not difficult for your factory to get a tractor, but that doesn't mean we can get one, too. Not to mention that there is only one tractor in the entire Red Star Commune, which is usually cared for like a treasure and has a special person to serve it..." The third uncle continued to say in confusion.

Liu Zhiye smiled mysteriously and spread his hands, "Leave it to me, everything depends on human efforts!" His voice was full of confidence and determination, as if everything was under his control.

Although the third uncle knew that he had great skills and extensive connections, tractors were strategic materials at the moment, with limited production and needed to be distributed according to plan.

Last year, that is, in 1959, China mass-produced more than 1700 crawler tractors and more than 2000 walk-behind tractors throughout the year, and only about to wheeled tractors.

Many projects, factories, mines and farms are in urgent need of tractors to support construction. In this context, the demand for tractors is increasing day by day, and ordinary units simply cannot get them.

After saying goodbye to the third uncle, Liu Zhiye calmed down a little and went straight back to the captain's office of the training camp.

"Leader, are you back?" Li Ming stood up and greeted him.

"Well! Is everything okay in the camp?" Liu Zhiye nodded and said.

Li Ming nodded and said, "Nothing." Then, he remembered something and said, "Oh, leader, the instructor just asked if you have returned and asked you to go to his place after you return." Liu Zhiye nodded and said, "Well, you go ahead and do your work. I will go find the instructor. Oh, please notify Xiao Yu and you two should get ready and follow me back to the Red Star Factory later."

"Thum!" "Thum!" "Thum!"

"Please come in!"

"Old Xu, are you looking for me?" Liu Zhiye said straight to the point as soon as he entered the door.

Instructor Xu Shifang looked up when he heard this and said with a smile, "Captain, come quickly. There's something good..."

He took out a latest edition of the People's Public Security magazine from the drawer and handed it to Liu Zhiye carefully, asking him to take a look.

Liu Zhiye took the magazine, opened it, and was attracted by the content.

On the second page of the magazine, there was a title written in large letters: "The Golden Shield is Forged with Blood" - A Record of the Public Security Brigade of the Dongcheng District Branch of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau.

The article vividly depicts the daily work of the Public Security Brigade of the Dongcheng District Branch of Beijing, who are safeguarding the peace of the city with practical actions.

The members of the brigade are not afraid of hardships. They march forward bravely and build a solid line of defense with their blood and sweat. They are not afraid of danger, have firm beliefs, and keep working hard, and they will eventually win.

In the article, the author specifically mentioned the captain Liu Zhiye, who has an excellent resume and is highly praised. In addition to training, the team he led not only focused on training, but also actively carried out spiritual civilization construction, and created passionate revolutionary songs such as "Young Man's Ambition Does Not Worry" and "Camel Bell".

……

Wow! This is really big news! The official magazine of the Ministry of Public Security actually selected them as models and publicized them with great fanfare. Old Xu was very excited. This is a great qualification in their career!

"People's Public Security" magazine, this unique newspaper and magazine, originated from the "Public Security Handbook" founded in 1952.

It is not just a simple paraphrase of the central government's instructions and policy documents on public security work, but also a rewrite of them into easy-to-understand editorials and comments so that the majority of public security officers and the general public can understand and implement them.

In January 1956, the Party Committee of the Ministry of Public Security made an important decision to rename the "Public Security Manual" as "People's Public Security".

The new magazine will be published in a bimonthly format, with each issue containing 16 to words of rich content. The layout design will be -page, and the sub-sector will be the new media novel field.

In order to increase the appeal of the magazine, the content became more lively and the format more diverse.

Not only has the coverage been expanded, but many creative elements have been added to make the content closer to reality and closer to the lives of the people.

The magazine added new political education content, emphasized the concept that the people’s police are servants of the people, and opened columns such as “Red Flag Flying” and “Readers’ Letters”. At the same time, it hired a group of special correspondents to collect news and manuscripts from grassroots public security organs more widely.

In 1959, the People's Public Security magazine set a record of circulation of more than 20 copies. This huge magazine not only covered urban police stations, but also extended to the level of rural public security commissioners.

Countless grassroots public security officers cannot put this magazine down, as it provides them with detailed reference and guidance when handling various public security affairs.

In other words, Liu Zhiye teamed up with the Public Security Brigade to make a name for himself in the public security system, and his colleagues across the country have remembered Liu Zhiye since then.

Instructor Xu Shifang joked, "What's the matter? Captain, you have received such a great honor, shouldn't you treat us to a meal? This is an honor no less than winning a second-class merit!"

Liu Zhiye responded happily: "Okay! After the training camp is over, I will treat the entire team to a seafood dinner, haha." He felt rarely excited.

"Captain, it seems that Director Huo admires you very much. He has only been here for an inspection for a short time, but you have already made such a big move..." Xu Shifang knew clearly in his heart that they were benefiting from Liu Zhiye this time.

Liu Zhiye said modestly: "What are you talking about? This is the credit of our entire team, not something I can achieve alone..."

……

Liu Zhiye bid farewell to the emotional instructor Xu Shifang. He could not contain his inner excitement and walked back with strong steps.

He has received many honors, but at this moment he felt an unprecedented experience.

The honors in the past came from the efforts of his "predecessors", but this time the honors were earned through his own efforts. The difference between them is as fresh as spring snow.
