On February 25, the eighth day of the first lunar month, the first working day after the Spring Festival holiday, the public servants of the Anping County Government officially went to work. Of course, because of the Spring Festival duty, holiday and other reasons, many people did not really return to their posts, and even more so the leaders of the county party committee and government. Many leaders let the secretary stare at the unit, and they don't come, and if there is a special matter, they will be notified, and some leaders will go to the unit at most and leave.

This way of going to work has become a common practice, and it is like this all over the country, and only after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the end of the New Year, and the administrative units are really officially working. Chu Tianqi was well versed in this kind of rule, and he was not harsh on those deputy county magistrates, but he himself sat in the office on time. It's not that he's going to be active, it's that there's a lot of work waiting for him, and he's going to use the next few days to deal with it. In particular, we should pay more attention to the new situation that we heard about yesterday, dig out the source of it, and finally work out practical and feasible ways to deal with it.

Yesterday afternoon, after listening to Xiaojuan's father talk about the situation, Chu Tianqi called Hou Xifa, the village director of Changliang Village, Hejiayao Township, and asked Hou Xifa to confirm the rumor. As a result, Hou Xifa also heard it on the fifth day of the first lunar month, which is basically the same as what Xiaojuan's father said, and he wants to say it in more detail. The two are not from the same village, and they are not from the same township, but they have heard the same content, so this rumor must have spread widely.

I left Anping County on the 28th of the lunar month, and I didn't hear this rumor before leaving, which means that the rumor must not have come out at that time, otherwise I would definitely know that the secretary Liu Zhuo was paying attention at any time. Even during his departure, even if Liu Zhuo also arrived in Bohai City, if Qiao Haitao and the others heard it, they would definitely tell themselves. That is to say, the rumor is generated during the holiday, most likely between the first and fourth days of the first month. Is it a coincidence that he happened to be absent from Anping during this time period? Where did the rumors come from, and can the common people think of them out of thin air? Is it true that agricultural subsidies will not be issued?

"Tuk tuk", a knock on the door sounded, interrupting Chu Tianqi's train of thought.

The door opened, Liu Zhuo walked into the room, and came straight to the desk: "County magistrate, I'm sorry, I'm late." ”

Chu Tianqi smiled: "It's okay, it's because the train is late, and it's not bad for you, and you don't want to sit for these two hours longer." ”

"County magistrate, what's the matter?" asked Liu Zhuo again.

"I called you just now, there is such a thing, do you know about it......" Chu Tianqi told the rumor about himself.

Liu Zhuo said indignantly: "What kind of person is so boring, spreading rumors and making trouble all day long? County magistrate, I'll check right away to see who is the troublemaker. ”

Chu Tianqi nodded: "Well, okay." ”

Liu Zhuo turned around and walked out of the house.

Looking at Liu Zhuo's figure, Chu Tianqi smiled. This secretary is really good, not only because of his relationship with his father, but also because of his good pen skills, mainly because Liu Zhuo can find the right position and be good at grasping proportions. Of course, it is precisely because Liu Zhuo is Liu Wentao's son and his own fellow countryman that there is a solid foundation of trust between the two and they feel that they can be relied on. I need such a secretary, and because of his arrival, Liu Zhuo has changed the fate of wiping the table and doing chores every day.

After thinking for a while, Chu Tianqi took the landline phone and dialed a number.

After the ringback sound was heard twice, a voice came from the phone: "County magistrate, are you looking for me?"

Chu Tianqi said into the phone: "Deputy County Magistrate Chen, do you have time? ”

The voice on the phone was slightly hesitant: "County magistrate, I'm doing something outside, and it will take a while." If it's urgent, I'll put it aside and rush back immediately. ”

Chu Tianqi's tone was gentle: "It's not in a hurry, it depends on your time." When will it be done?"

"It's nearly ten o'clock now, and it's estimated that it's more than eleven o'clock when it's done. The other party muttered, and then asked, "County magistrate, why don't you do it in the afternoon, okay? As soon as I go to work in the afternoon, I'll go over." ”

Chu Tianqi said "um": "Okay." Then hang up.

In fact, Chu Tianqi knew that the other party said that he was doing business outside, and he didn't know where it was, so it must be a private matter. But he did not expose it, but left enough time for the other party to return, and he could not be strict with his subordinates, and it was necessary to be appropriately relaxed. Of course, it is necessary to distinguish who it is, and it is not tolerant of others, otherwise subordinates will interpret the leader as weak and stupid.

……

Two and a half p.m., the county commissioner's office.

Chu Tianqi sat behind his desk, and on the chair opposite was Deputy County Magistrate Chen Yujun, who had just entered the door.

Chen Yujun is in charge of government offices, comprehensive agricultural development, and foreign affairs and overseas Chinese affairs, and his relationship with Chu Tianqi is not far or close, but he can put himself in the right position and respect Chu Tianqi more, and the relationship between the two of them meets the standards of the principal and deputy positions.

Without making a detour, Chu Tianqi said directly: "County Magistrate Chen, what's going on with this year's agricultural subsidies?"

Chen Yujun replied: "At the beginning of December last year, a document was issued from above, saying that it was necessary to make appropriate adjustments to the agricultural subsidy policy, and the corresponding implementation plan would be issued at that time. But until now, there is neither a relevant plan, nor a meeting meeting, nor any mention of this matter, let alone specific news on the issuance of subsidies. In this way, not only the people are confused, but even the government workers are not clear, and the beneficiaries are even more uncertain.

But last year, just after New Year's Day, agricultural subsidies came down. At that time, I was not in charge of agriculture, but I also heard that as soon as the subsidy came, it was directly handed out. It is said that the scene was unprecedentedly warm, moving, and very spectacular, and people praised the party's policies for being good, and they all said that the party and the government did practical things for the people.

But this year, February is almost over, and there is still no news related to agricultural subsidies. So people have been talking about it all the time, and there is no consensus on what to say. Around New Year's Day, some people have already inquired, and after New Year's Day, they even called and wrote letters to inquire, and some people claimed to petition the government. I asked the higher authorities again, but the answer I got was three words: I don't know. ”

In that document, there is a special article, the central content is that the measures to benefit the people and farmers should continue to be strengthened, and must not be weakened, and the concept of benefiting the people must be implemented all the time. According to this article, there is obviously no intention to cancel the subsidy, and since the pilot work has been carried out and the overall effect is not bad, it should not be canceled. I think so, but it's just speculation. ”

Chu Tianqi nodded: "Well, I also don't think it should be canceled." At the very least, such a major policy has a bearing on the national economy and the people's livelihood, so how can it be changed at will? It is still more impossible for it to disappear and there is no follow-up. ”

Chen Yujun echoed casually: "The reason is such a reason, but the people don't understand it, all kinds of groundless speculations and all kinds of false accusations are overwhelming, one after another." ”

Chu Tianqi smiled slightly: "County Magistrate Chen, what have you heard, right? ”

"I heard. The county magistrate must have heard about it, right?" Chen Yujun also smiled back, "During the Spring Festival, I went back to my hometown for the New Year, and my hometown is not in Anping County. After I came back yesterday afternoon, someone told me that it is now rumored that this year's agricultural subsidies will not be paid, and that it is because the county magistrate sent a report to the higher authorities asking for the payment to be stopped. I don't know if others are clear, but I'm in charge of this work, and as soon as I hear it, I know that someone is talking nonsense or deliberately spreading rumors and slander. The county magistrate called me over because of this, right?"

Chu Tianqi nodded: "It's nothing to spread rumors for me, anyway, it can't be true, it won't take long for people to understand." It's just that once this rumor comes out, it will have an impact on our agricultural work. In this way, you can inquire about the above news at any time to see how to get the subsidy, and you can also reflect it to the superior appropriately and urge it. The sooner there are results, the better it will be for our work, otherwise the impact of rumors will be greater and longer. ”

"I know, that's what I thought, too. Chen Yujun said, "In addition, we can't let the rumors spread like this, and when the time is right, we must publicize the document again, so that people don't chase after the wind and even make something out of nothing." ”

Chu Tianqi waved his hand: "There is no need to preach, that document is originally vague, if we take the initiative to mention it again, it will inevitably make people feel that 'there is no silver three hundred taels here'." ”

"Okay, then I'll go back first, I'll see where this rumor comes from. As he spoke, Chen Yujun stood up, said goodbye to Chu Tianqi, and walked out of the county magistrate's office.

The reason why he did not agree with the preaching at this time was that Chu Tianqi wanted to deal with it coldly, and he had already determined that this rumor was by no means unprovoked. There may be people who are waiting for themselves to jump out, waiting to stir up this rumor, and the hype is getting hotter and hotter.

"Tuk tuk", there was a knock on the door, and Liu Zhuo entered the house.

Seeing that there was no one else in the house, Liu Zhuolai was at the desk and said directly: "County magistrate, I did an investigation, and this rumor first spread on the morning of the third day of the first lunar month, and the secretaries spread it at the earliest, but the original source of the rumor was not clear. Now the rumors have already spread to the towns and villages, and almost every villager knows about it, which is clearly deliberately creating contradictions and affecting your authority and work. ”

"Yes, some people can't see me well, so they want to stink me, or even take me away. Chu Tianqi snorted, "There are no doors, don't even think about it." ”

"County magistrate, what should I do?" Liu Zhuo asked, "If you do this, your prestige will be damaged." ”

"It's okay, ignore it, do what you have to do. Listening to the crickets, don't you grow beans anymore?" Chu Tianqi was very confident, "It's just this pediatrics, it's not a matter at all." ”

Liu Zhuo nodded: "Well, I know." With that, he walked out of the house.

With a long sigh, Chu Tianqi realized that someone was about to make a move and wanted to use the power of the people to borrow a knife to kill someone. So who could this person be? Is it him? Does he dare?

No matter who it is, as long as he provokes, as long as he stretches out his claws, don't think about taking it back easily. Thinking of this, Chu Tianqi tightened his grip.
