The sky was still raining lightly, Tang Cheng did not have an umbrella, accompanied by Guan Weihai, secretary of the Chishui Municipal Party Committee, Qiu Zong, mayor and others, Tang Cheng boarded the embankment of the Chishui River and guided the flood control work on the spot.

Tang Cheng's feet are the flood control embankment, Tang Cheng checked the surrounding facilities, and stomped on the concrete pavement of the embankment under his feet, Tang Cheng asked Guan Weihai, secretary of the municipal party committee, said: "This year's flood control situation is very severe, I won't talk about the importance, let's study the actual thing, your flood control embankment, what is the effect? How many levels of floods can it resist?"

Guan Weihai's face immediately turned embarrassed, he hesitated, and said, "Governor Tang, do you want to hear the truth? Or is it a lie?"

Tang Cheng sighed and said, "Of course it's the truth." ”

Guan Weihai said: "Then I will tell the truth to Governor Tang, to be honest, I am not very sure about the solidity of this pond river embankment, it was first built in the Republic of China, although during this period, the city has also carried out several major renovations on it, but it has not touched the core, not to mention five years ago, it also broke the mouth and flooded tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land!" Last month, our municipal party committee also held a special demonstration meeting because of this embankment, at which all water conservancy experts and scholars expressed their opinions and demonstrated the degree of solidity of the embankment, and our municipal party committee also humbly listened to the experts' suggestion that we should immediately carry out another large-scale renovation and reinforcement of this embankment, and also bring the river under control to prevent problems before they occur. ”

After hearing this, Tang Cheng nodded his head in approval, saying that the solidity of the flood control embankment is directly related to the safety of the people's lives and property, and it is not allowed to be sloppy, and it is necessary to ensure that the embankment is solid. Tang Cheng said: "Immediately reinforce the embankment." ”

Guan Weihai said a practical problem, he said: "If the pond river embankment is built to resist a once-in-a-century flood, the cost is not low, and our municipal finance alone cannot support it, and the province must help us, and allocate our flood control funds, without the support of the province, it is difficult to do." To this end, we have made a report to the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Department of Finance, but the funds have not been allocated until now! As the saying goes, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and if she has no money, she will delay a lot of things. ”

Tang Cheng nodded and said, "Renovating water conservancy facilities, especially flood control facilities, this fund is worth investing, how much money do you Chishui City report to strive for?"

Guan Weihai said: "In order to build a century-old embankment, after experts and scholars have demonstrated, the river section in our Chishui City is the most curved, the longest, and the most dangerous sections, after the budget, the renovation funds should be about 200 million, our city raised 80 million funds, and the remaining 120 million still rely on the allocation and financial support of the superiors. ”

Tang Cheng nodded and said, "Has the provincial finance received the allocation report from your city?"

Guan Weihai said: "Our city reported the request report three months ago, but it has not been approved for a long time, and the funds have not been put in place, resulting in the construction of a section of our embankment, all of which have been renovated, and the funds are insufficient." ”

Tang Cheng nodded without hesitation and said: "In this way, I will say hello to the Provincial Department of Finance, and ask them to allocate the funds as soon as possible, and use the funds to prevent the embankment immediately while the real flood season in our Hudong Province has not yet come." ”

Guan Weihai immediately said that this is very good.

Guan Weihai said: "If the province allocates this fund, in addition to building the embankment, we can still do a lot of work, such as digging deep into the river, widening the area, dredging the tributary river, ensuring the smooth flow of flood outlets, and strengthening the city's flood control facility network, which can definitely effectively reduce the damage of floods to us." ”

Tang Cheng and the others left the flood control levee and went to inspect the city's flood control network facilities.

After lunch, Tang Cheng called his secretary in to arrange the deployment work, and Tang Cheng asked the secretary: "I asked you to inform Comrade Jiao Fenghai of the Provincial Finance Department, has he arrived?"

The secretary hesitated and said: "I haven't arrived yet, Director Jiao said that he is reporting to the provincial party committee and can't come to Chishui City immediately." ”

Tang Cheng's heart moved, this Director Jiao is really good, he can not even listen to Tang Cheng's words, no wonder, Guan Weihai sued him that the allocation of funds has not been in place for a long time!

Flood control funds are a big deal! This Jiao Fenghai is really bold!

The secretary asked, "Governor, should I call again and urge?"

Tang Cheng groaned, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's wait for me to return to the provincial capital and go to him in person!"

What else did the secretary say, Tang Cheng let him out, Tang Cheng thought about it, the director of a provincial finance department is nothing more than a department-level cadre, and his officialdom is subordinate, the provincial finance department is under the direct jurisdiction of the provincial government, why does he dare not listen to Tang Cheng's greetings.

The reason for this is that because the Provincial Department of Finance is the money bag of the province, with an obvious role and a prominent position, generally speaking, the director of the Department of Finance is also the person who must be mastered by the secretary of the provincial party committee.

Since this Jiao Fenghai is Mo Xiaolong's henchman, it is reasonable that he dares to blatantly contradict Tang Cheng!

After Tang Cheng finished investigating the flood control situation in Chishui City, he returned to the provincial capital non-stop, and in the governor's office of his provincial government, the secretary notified Jiao Fenghai twice, and the third time, Jiao Fenghai couldn't resist the pressure, he still came!

However, before he came to see Tang Cheng, he still met Mo Xiaolong first.

Mo Xiaolong said: "You go boldly, with me, he Tang Cheng can't embarrass you." With Mo Xiaolong's attitude, Jiao Fenghai's backbone straightened up.

Jiao Fenghai asked Mo Xiaolong: "Secretary, if Governor Tang sees me and asks about the allocation of flood control funds in the three northwestern cities, how should I answer?"

Mo Xiaolong groaned and said, "You can't ask me this question, you are the director of the hall, I believe that you will definitely have a way." ”

Jiao Fenghai immediately stopped asking, and he also understood that if he had asked his superiors to show the way in everything, and he still had to teach him everything by hand, then what use did the superiors want him to do as a subordinate!

Jiao Fenghai left Mo Xiaolong and met Tang Cheng, Tang Cheng asked him straight to the point, why hasn't the flood control funds in Chishui City been allocated yet?

In this regard, Jiao Fenghai had already made a good draft, and calmly faced Tang Cheng's questions, he explained one by one: "Why is there no allocation of flood control funds for the three cities in the northwest, there is a reason for this, the first reason, of course, is that our provincial finances are indeed not very rich, and there are many places that need to allocate money, not only the three cities in the northwest need to be taken care of, but the three cities in the northeast also need financial assistance, and it is unrealistic for such a large amount of funds to be allocated in place immediately." The second reason, the province's finances are also difficult, speaking of funds, in fact, the national defense general also promised to allocate a huge amount of money in our province for flood control funds, but this huge amount of money has not yet completed the formalities, can not be done, I have no help from the superiors here, and the city is the same, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, please the governor also understand my work, the funds are short-term, and can not be allocated in place. ”

Tang Cheng stared at this Jiao Fenghai, he was a round face, gray hair, and big eyes, how could he look like a traitor.

However, it is this traitor who holds the money bag of the whole province, and he is also a real power figure, who wants to get real power in Hudong Province, cannot do without the support of this person in charge of the money bag.

Tang Cheng held back his anger and continued to ask, "Then how long do you think it will take to allocate the flood control funds?"

Jiao Fenghai thought about it and said: "There are many uncertainties in the future on this issue, and I can't provide accurate information to the governor now." ”

Tang Cheng looked at Jiao Fenghai, who didn't care, according to Tang Cheng's character, he couldn't announce it immediately, you, the director of finance, had been removed, but, calm down, after thinking about it, Tang Cheng knew that he must not be reckless, since he Jiao Fenghai dared to treat Tang Cheng with this attitude, he must have no fear, and there were more senior leaders behind him to support him, Tang Cheng could not remove other people's official positions with one sentence, and the removal of provincial and department cadres in principle needs to be studied and discussed by the Standing Committee, even if Tang Cheng is the governor, he cannot be removed without saying a word。

Right now, Tang Cheng is already extremely disgusted with this Jiao Fenghai in his heart, but political experience tells Tang Cheng that he must not show his emotions in his expression, Tang Cheng said lightly: "Oh, well, you still have to hurry up the work of flood control funds, after all, Chishui City is still waiting for the rice to be cooked." ”

Jiao Fenghai nodded in understanding.

Sending Jiao Fenghai away, Tang Cheng had secretly made up his mind in his heart, the position of the provincial director of finance is almost as important as the position of the director of the provincial public security department, one is the barrel of a gun, the other is financial power, both are indispensable, if you want to really establish authority in Hudong Province, this director of finance must also be your own people.

The role of money bags should not be underestimated.

In the afternoon, the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee notified Tang Cheng to go to the office of Secretary Mo of the Provincial Party Committee, and after coming, there was no doubt that Mo and Chang Jinhong were present, and Mo asked about the flood control situation in Chishui City.

Mo Xiaolong said: "Yes, flood control funds are a problem, but the flood season does not wait for anyone, we can't sit still, we still have to take action, just like our party defeated natural disasters in the past, there are difficulties, we must overcome, in short, no one can be killed in the flood disaster, this is the principle." ”

Chang Jinhong also said: "Yes, if you have money, you have to do things, if you don't have money, you have to do things, think about the past, our party has such a hard time, I want to tell the comrades in Chishui City, we still have to carry forward the fine tradition of hard work and self-reliance!"

Bullshit, standing and talking doesn't hurt his back, Tang Cheng is very disgusted in his heart.

If you say something beautiful, Tang Cheng will also say it, but in real operation, a penny is difficult to beat a hero, and without money, you can't walk!

It seems that Tang Cheng can't talk about any substantive issues here, but it makes Tang Cheng alert, it seems that the opponent, this is intentional, just waiting to see Tang Cheng's jokes!

However, fortunately, now in Hudong Province, Tang Cheng is no longer alone, Tang Cheng also has a helper by his side, and this helper is Zhang Xiaoya, the Organization Minister of the Provincial Party Committee.

And Zhang Xiaoya is in charge of organization and personnel, and is responsible for the removal and transfer of cadres, Tang Cheng has the intention to remove the director of the provincial finance department, and Zhang Xiaoya can just help.

In the evening, Tang Cheng and Zhang Xiaoya had dinner together, and during the meal, Tang Cheng said his thoughts on how to remove the provincial finance director.

This is really a problem, because, according to the information that Tang Cheng has, this Jiao Fenghai is quite honest as an official, and there are no scandals, in reality, it does not mean that if Tang Cheng wants to rectify that official, that official will definitely be a corrupt official. If Jiao Fenghai had not been ill, if Tang Cheng wanted to remove the director of the Provincial Finance Department again, the difficulties could be imagined! Whether he could achieve his goal or not, it was really not certain!

Tang Cheng looked at Zhang Xiaoya and said, "Can't we master the money bag?"

Zhang Xiaoya thought for a while and said: "The solution was figured out by people, if we want to remove this provincial finance director, we must first find an excuse, it is best to be able to catch this finance director's pigtails, and with the handle in hand, it will be possible to remove him." ”
