Yang Zhengxiong heard Li Tianyi say this, and nodded lightly. Then he said: "Secretary Li, I don't quite understand why Wu Zhengfu, who was a young and promising cadre in our Jiangnan Province, has undergone such tremendous changes in just three months?

Li Tianyi smiled slightly and said, "If you want to figure out this matter, the easiest way is to go to the scene to see it in person." ”

Speaking of this, Li Tianyi suddenly asked: "To what extent has this Taozhou ladder project progressed? When did you start planning the layout?"

Yang Zhengxiong recalled a little and said: "As far as I know, this project started five months ago, and at that time, it was a large-scale rumor in our Jiangnan Province that Cheng Guodong, the secretary of the provincial party committee, was leaving Jiangnan Province and his whereabouts were unknown.

Up to now, the project has basically been completed, but many follow-up work, especially the work of attracting investment and tourism promotion, is in full swing. The specific person in charge is Wu Zhengfu. ”

Li Tianyi nodded lightly and asked Yang Zhengxiong to call Zhang Tao over.

"Zhang Tao, you prepare, after getting off work this afternoon, accompany me to Taozhou City, and let's go to see this Taozhou ladder project together. ”

Zhang Tao hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go and prepare." ”

In the evening of the same day, a private car slowly drove out of Wuzhou City, and under the cover of night, it galloped all the way towards Taozhou City.

At about 9 o'clock in the evening, the car drove into Taozhou City, stopped at the door of an express hotel closest to Yinfeng Temple in Taozhou City, Li Tianyi took Zhuge Tong and Zhang Tao to get out of the car, checked in at the hotel front desk, put down the luggage, the three of them walked out of the express hotel, found a small restaurant around the hotel, and chatted while eating local specialties.

When the waiter served the food to the three of them, Li Tianyi asked with a smile: "Dude, we want to go to Yinfeng Temple tomorrow, how should we go?

When the waiter heard Li Tianyi ask, he said with a smile: "You are outsiders, right?"

All three nodded.

The waiter said: "If you want to see the scenery of Yinfeng Temple, then I suggest you take the ancient road in front, because this ancient road has a long history, the scenery on both sides of the ancient road is beautiful, and the stream is gurgling, which is definitely worth seeing."

If you want to rise in the official career and make a fortune, or want to rise step by step in the shopping mall, then you can take the Taozhou ladder, it is said that this ladder is a green ladder that we have invited eight feng shui masters to plan together, and its implication is that anyone who walks up from this green ladder will definitely go straight to the top in the future, and the road to the career will rise step by step. ”

Li Tianyi asked a little puzzled: "Dude, I'm very puzzled, if it's like what you said, the ancient road in front is beautiful, and the Qingyun Ladder in the back doesn't seem to be necessary to build at all." “

The waiter said: "Who said no, although the feng shui is very good, but the scenery is really not good, of course, our leaders are also very far-sighted, in order to make up for the gap in the scenery of the Qingyun Ladder, the leaders spent a lot of money, built a lot of reliefs on both sides of the Qingyun Ladder, all have great implications, and then make up for the lack of scenery." ”

Li Tianyi's eyes widened and said, "If it's just to build a Qingyun Ladder, it shouldn't cost much, right?"

The waiter said: "If you only build this Qingyun Ladder, it will naturally not cost much, but the relief is different, and the money spent on the relief is much more than the money on the Qingyun Ladder."

I've heard that the construction of this Qingyun Ladder cost more than 60 million, and these officials really dare to spend money. ”

Li Tianyi said: "I heard that the person in charge of this project is your mayor Wu Zhengfu of Taozhou City, right, isn't he a very good official?" ”

The waiter pouted disdainfully and said, "The world is as black as a crow, what else is good or bad." In the past, this Wu Zhengfu did a lot of good things for us in Taozhou City, but this Qingyun Ladder, many people in Taozhou City have very opinions, this is definitely a project that costs the people and money.

However, it is not useless, it is said that every first day or fifteenth day of the new year, the officials and businessmen who go to climb the mountain and incense are endless, and in stark contrast to it, the beautiful road in front of the door can be full of birds, although this green cloud ladder does not bring any benefit to the people of Taozhou City, but it makes the incense of this Yinfeng Temple more vigorous, it is said that Yinfeng is an old abbot Kongwen master is a good friend of our mayor Wu Zhengfu, they often drink tea and chat together. I heard from them two days ago that Mayor Wu had just inscribed a new plaque for Yinfeng Temple some time ago and hung it on the mountain gate. It is also rumored that in the office of Mayor Wu Zhengfu, there is a calligraphy work inscribed by Master Kongwen, which is said to be the four words of heaven rewarding diligence. ”

This waiter is also quite able to talk, and Li Tianyi listens to it with relish.

At this time, the proprietress who had been sitting at the cash register saw the waiter and Li Tianyi chatting there, especially after hearing the content of their chat, the proprietress frowned, coughed and said, "Xiao Zhang, hurry up and give other dishes on the table." ”

The waiter smiled helplessly at Li Tianyi and turned to leave.

Li Tianyi: They continued to chat. But the voice was much lowered.

Zhang Tao said: "Secretary Li, if what this waiter said is true, then this Taozhou ladder project is really a political achievement project, and the most important thing is that there is also a lack of faith in some officials in this project, which is the most terrifying."

The big leaders once said: Facts have proven time and again that vacillation in ideals and convictions is the most dangerous vacillation, and the slippage of ideals and convictions is the most dangerous landslide.

Among our cadre ranks, there are indeed some cadres who lack faith, or even have an empty spirit, who think that communism is an ethereal fantasy, and then do not ask the common people to ask ghosts and gods, and are keen on fortune-telling and appearance, praying to gods and worshipping Buddha, and even superstitious qigong masters.

Although these things do not seem to be directly related to politics and administration, in fact, they fully show one point, that is, some officials have no faith in their hearts, which is the most terrible thing, and if party members do not have faith, the party will have no cohesion, appeal and combat effectiveness, and the party will lose its most essential attributes.

If cadres have no faith in their hearts and govern the country, reform and development will lose their direction and they will lose their self-confidence and confidence.

Therefore, I believe that our discipline inspection commission departments must not only strengthen the discipline inspection and supervision work of cadres at all levels at the economic level, but also strengthen the relevant supervision work in their spiritual field, especially in the field of faith, and severely punish those party members and cadres who do not ask about the common people and ghosts, and even directly kick them out of the cadre ranks. ”

Li Tianyi heard Zhang Tao say this, looked at Zhang Tao with one more appreciation in his eyes, nodded and said: "You are right, ideals and beliefs are the spiritual calcium of our communists, without ideals and beliefs, or if ideals and beliefs are not firm, then there will be a lack of calcium in the spirit and hypochondriasis." If you loosen your thoughts, you will be scattered in action. I think so, let's go to this Qingyun Ladder in Taozhou City to take a look, isn't tomorrow the first day of the new year, there should be many people to incense. I don't think I'll rest tonight, go directly to the gate of Yinfeng Temple to squat for a while. I want to see how many party members and cadres will go to worship the Buddha. ”

Zhang Tao and Zhuge Tong all nodded, and after the three of them were full of food and drink, they returned to the hotel, packed their luggage, and came directly to the Qingyun Ladder overnight.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, looking up, but seeing the neon flashes on both sides of the entire Qingyun Ladder, a golden avenue to heaven extends continuously upward from the foot of the mountain, until the top of the mountain Yinfeng Temple, standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, the entire Yinfeng Temple is also neon flashing, and the outline of the temple is faintly visible.

The three of them walked slowly up the ladder and sat down at a bend 50 meters away from the temple, and began to wait.

After waiting for a while, Li Tianyi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said to Zhuge Tong and Zhang Tao: "You can wait for me here, I will go to the temple to take a look, maybe I can have unexpected gains." ”

After speaking, Li Tianyi stood up and walked up.

At this moment, the gate of Yinfeng Temple was closed, and there was silence inside.

Li Tianyi stepped forward and knocked lightly on the temple door.

Li Tianyi knocked more than a dozen times in succession, only then did he hear the sound of Xi Xi Suo from inside, and after a while, the temple door slowly opened a crack, and a little monk raised his head and glanced at Li Tianyi, and said sleepily: "This donor, are you in trouble?"

Li Tianyi said: "I want to take the first incense stick today, is it okay?"

The little monk shook his head lightly and said, "Don't you know, on the first and fifteenth day of every month, the first incense stick in our temple is never open to the public, if you want to go to the first incense, you can wait for other times." ”

After speaking, the little monk was about to close the door, Li Tianyi held the door with his hand and asked, "Can I know why? Why is the first incense stick on the first and fifteenth days of the new year not open to the public?"

The little monk smiled slightly: "I'm sorry, donor, I really have nothing to say." Please don't embarrass me. ”

Li Tianyi nodded lightly, turned around and walked out. returned to Zhuge Tong and Zhang Tao again.

At about four o'clock in the morning, the first person who came to offer incense came to them.

Zhuge Tong held a high-definition camera directly connected to the big data network in his hand, and directly gave a close-up of the incense person, and soon, Li Tianyi's mobile phone appeared with the person's name, work unit and contact number.

Looking at the name and position of the other party that appeared on the mobile phone, Li Tianyi's face was gloomy at that time.

Li Tianyi never expected that the first person to come was Jiang Wenjie, the secretary general of the Taozhou Municipal Government.

Jiang Wenjie didn't recognize Li Tianyi and the three of them, and when he saw Zhuge Tong actually taking pictures of him, his face was gloomy at that time, and he said angrily: "Who are you, why are you stuck here to take pictures of me, immediately bring me your mobile phone and delete the photos." ”
