In name only: I will break the chess game in Handong

As he spoke, Chen Luo took out his phone, found Tian Guofu's number, and dialed it.

The call was answered after about ten seconds.

"Hey, Director Tian, ​​are you busy right now?"

"Haha, Governor Chen, you've already asked whether you're busy or not, so you must not be busy."

"Director Tian, ​​a comrade from our province has crossed the red line. It might be necessary for you to send a member of the working group to Guangdong Province to clean up this 'troublemaker'!"

Upon hearing this, Tian Guofu was overjoyed.

"Governor Chen, is the evidence conclusive?"

"It's basically confirmed. Comrade Renli has already reported to me. All that's left is to complete the chain of evidence."

"Alright! That's easy. I'll have the working group stationed in Guangdong Province in a few days. But... regarding the impact..."

"It won't have any impact. This comrade's name is Jiang Xudong. He has now been transferred to the CPPCC as vice chairman. It won't have any impact on the work of Guangdong Province."

"Haha, thank you Governor Chen for supporting our Discipline Inspection Commission's work!"

"It's all about serving the people!"

"By the way, Governor Chen, Comrade Dagong called me a few days ago to inquire about the situation of illegal immigrants, especially the organization's opinion on the use of illegal immigrants in Guangdong Province."

He even said he wanted to call you for help but was afraid of bothering you, Governor Chen. I said we're all comrades, so there's no question of bothering you.

As a result, Comrade Dagong still refused to speak.

"Oh? Is that so?"

"Yes, that's absolutely true! I guess Comrade Dagong is having some difficulties in his work in the west. He's also quite strong-willed, so I'm afraid he really wouldn't have called you if I hadn't told him."

"Okay, I understand. I'll call Comrade Dagong later to ask what's going on."

"Okay, then let's leave it at that for now, Governor Chen. I won't disturb your work any longer. As for the specific situation regarding Jiang Xudong, Comrade Renli can report the issue according to procedure."

"Okay, goodbye Director Tian."

Goodbye, Governor Chen!

After hanging up the phone, Chen Luo looked at Jia Renli and asked, "Did you hear what Secretary Tian said?"

"Governor, I understand. I will organize the information according to procedure and submit it this afternoon."

"Okay, but you still need to inform Secretary Aimin and the other comrades at the Standing Committee meeting later. After all, it's dealing with a deputy provincial-level cadre, and it's not good to bypass the provincial party committee directly."

"I understand, Governor!"

Chen Luo nodded and didn't let Jia Renli leave. There was only one hour left before the Standing Committee meeting started, so the two of them could go to the Provincial Party Committee together.

In front of Jia Renli, Chen Luo looked through his phone and found Zhao Dagong's phone number.

Then I called.

The call connected, and Zhao Dagong's voice came through immediately.

"Good morning, Governor Chen!"

"Comrade Dagong, you're too kind. I just chatted with Comrade Guofu for a while, and he said, 'Comrade Dagong, do you have something to say to me?' Don't be shy. As long as it's something that benefits the country and the people, I generally won't refuse."

Chen Luo got straight to the point, while Zhao Dagong paused for a moment before letting out a heavy sigh.

“Governor Chen, as you know, I am the governor of Gansu Province, and the biggest problem here is the natural climate.”

The higher authorities have never required Gansu Province to develop industry and high-tech industries, but rather to focus on agriculture and animal husbandry, and more importantly, to continuously improve the environment.

I have been in Gansu Province for two years, and every year I have invested a lot of human, material and financial resources in desertification control projects.

However, the difficulties they face are also significant.

Combating desertification is tough!

Young people have all gone to work in southeastern coastal areas like Guangdong Province, leaving Gansu Province with a relatively small population.

In addition, the pay for desertification control work is very low, so very few young people are willing to stay and settle down.

I recently saw a report that Guangdong province had arrested more than 100,000 illegal immigrants, and those who could not pay their repatriation fees were grouped and assigned to work.

I suddenly had a brilliant idea…

What are you thinking about?

Chen Luo was also curious, so he picked up his teacup and listened while sipping his tea.

"I would like to ask Governor Chen if we could lend these undocumented workers to Gansu Province for use?"

These illegal immigrants are physically strong and resistant to high temperatures and drought..."

"puff!"

At this point, even Zhao Dagong, who has a thick skin, felt a little embarrassed.

Chen Luo was also shocked by Zhao Dagong's thunderous idea, and he spat out the tea in his mouth.

"Ahem, Comrade Dagong, your idea is indeed quite bold."

However, upon closer examination, it's quite interesting. The province's river dredging and other work cannot support such a large number of undocumented workers, and the population density is very high. Every time these undocumented workers are sent out to work, armed police are needed to guard them.

In Gansu Province, where the desert stretches as far as the eye can see, a single sniper rifle and binoculars are enough to deter these illegal immigrants; they have no fear of riots.

Chapter 421 Planting Trees and Creating Forests, the Flesh Turns to Mud

"Governor Chen, you also agree with this idea?"

Chen Luo rolled his eyes.

"Comrade Dagong, it's not a matter of whether I agree or not, but whether the higher-ups agree!"

You know perfectly well that what we in Guangdong are doing is skirting the line, and the international condemnation has never stopped. Diplomatic work is already under a lot of pressure; if we were to send people to the far northwest…”

“Governor Chen, our Secretary Chang and I have considered and discussed these issues. Secretary Chang even consulted Zhongyang on behalf of the Gansu Provincial Party Committee.”

We guarantee that these undocumented immigrants will have absolutely no chance of causing unrest after arriving in Gansu Province.

Zhongyang's intention is for Gansu and Guangdong provinces to negotiate... and obtain your consent first.

"Oh? No objections from above?"

“Governor Chen, just as you analyzed, the higher-ups also think that having these undocumented workers plant trees would be very effective.”

"Okay, then what else is there to say?"

I agree with this in principle.

Guangdong province may not have much else, but it has an abundance of illegal immigrants. The neighboring province is also continuously sending illegal immigrants to Guangdong province.

You know what, it's actually a good thing for Guangdong Province that Gansu can accept some illegal immigrants.

Comrade Dagong, how many undocumented immigrants does your Gansu province want?

"Hehe, Governor Chen, unlimited!"

"Hiss! Can you even manage that?"

"There are troops and militia stationed here!"

"Okay... I'll report this situation to Secretary Aimin as well. Transportation is quite troublesome, even with the old-fashioned green train..."

"Okay, okay, thank you so much, Governor Chen!"

"Oh, the whole country is a unified whole, no need for thanks."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Luo looked at Jia Renli, who was somewhat dumbfounded, and waved his hand in front of him.

"What? Comrade Renli, are you frightened?"

Jia Renli shook his head upon hearing this.

"That's not the case. But Governor, once these illegal immigrants go to Gansu, will they ever be repatriated?"

Chen Luo did not answer the question directly, but everyone already knew the answer.

“The minimum wage in Gansu Province is about 2,000 yuan per month. These undocumented workers can save about 1,000 yuan per month after living and eating. The repatriation cost is 50,000 yuan, so they only need to stay in Gansu Province to work for five years.”

After saying this, Jia Renli was speechless.

Five years... who knows how many will fail!

But it's fine if it's not there, it's illegal anyway...

But will these illegal immigrants really have a chance to be repatriated five years later? Chen Luo didn't say, and Jia Renli didn't ask either.

Everyone knew exactly what was going on.

To reiterate, China is not an immigrant country, and everything these guys are experiencing now is their own doing.

Nine o'clock in the morning.

The small conference room of the Provincial Party Committee.

Chen Luo and Jia Renli arrived relatively late and met Secretary Aimin directly in the corridor.

After exchanging greetings, Jia Renli wisely quickened his pace and walked into the conference room, distancing himself from Da Wang and Xiao Wang.

"Comrade Chen Luo, there is something I need to tell you. Gansu Province has requested Zhongyang to transfer a group of undocumented workers from Guangdong Province to plant trees and prevent sandstorms in the desert areas. The current decision is for Guangdong Province and Gansu Province to negotiate."

Comrade Chen Luo, what are your thoughts?

Chen Luo nodded calmly and said, "Secretary Aimin, I have no objection. Currently, the number of illegal immigrants detained in our province is huge, and half of them cannot afford the repatriation costs."

Continuing to detain them isn't a good solution; supporting Gansu Province's efforts in windbreak and sand fixation is very meaningful!

Upon hearing this, Secretary Aimin smiled.

"Hmm, Comrade Chen Luo, you're quite good! The higher-ups originally intended for me to persuade you to agree to Gansu Province's request, but it seems you're not one to be overly sentimental."

Chen Luo rolled his eyes upon hearing this.

“Secretary Aimin, I instructed the Provincial Public Security Bureau to arrest these illegal immigrants. Where did you get the idea that I would be so overly compassionate?”

"Oh? So you're being quite vicious?"

"I……"

Chen Luodu was driven to despair by Secretary Aimin.
