After Liu Weiming finished speaking, everyone was quiet, and Ma Juncai saw that no one spoke, and only then did he hesitate to say after looking around: "Secretary Liu, I think the proportion of our education funds in our fiscal revenue is not low, compared with some cities, the proportion of our education is much higher." I think that the level of education is also in balance with the overall economic level of a city, and it is a bit inappropriate to hold a meeting of the people's congress on an ad hoc basis to discuss the things that have already been decided at the beginning of the year. ”

"What you say is the truth, however, there is a problem that everyone should realize that the proportion of our education funds in our country has indeed reached the normal level of our country, but because of our backward economy and low fiscal revenue, this leads to our education funds are also strictly low. I also understand the difficulty of the city government, there is only so much revenue, but there are many places to use it. It's like cutting a cake, there are so many cakes, but there are a lot of people who come to eat, how to divide who has more and who has less, and who eats and who doesn't eat is indeed a problem. However, there is a saying that ten years of trees and a hundred years of people, talent training is very important in my opinion. Although we are far behind some developed cities for the time being, I believe that as long as we increase investment in education, in 10 or 20 years, a large part of the students we have educated will become useful talents, and a large part will also be invested in the economic construction of Baishan. Science is the primary productive force, so talent is also the primary productive force, and we must look at the problem from the perspective of development. Liu Weiming was not annoyed that Ma Juncai disagreed with his opinion, but just said his opinion again.

"I still don't agree with Secretary Liu's point of view, our Baishan City finance is now close to the food finance, if we increase investment in education, then we will not be able to carry out other aspects of the work at all, and there may not even be a way to fully pay the salaries of civil servants. I think that our first task is to develop the economy, and as long as the economy develops, our finances will be abundant, and then we will be able to squeeze out more funds to invest in education. In addition, I think the education level of our Baishan is not too bad, last year, we also had two students in Baishan went to Tsinghua University and Peking University, which shows that the education of our Baishan is not bad, as long as the children have good understanding and are willing to work hard, they can become talents. Ma Juncai said again. After Ma Juncai finished speaking, he looked at Liu Weiming again, feeling a little scared, and then said: "I'm not saying that Secretary Liu's opinion is wrong, I just think the timing is wrong." Education is a very important thing at all times, but I think that the current situation in Baishan should be the first priority. We have maintained such a high level of investment in education that we should not fall behind. I think this is the safest way to wait until our economy grows and then increase investment in education. ”

Hearing Ma Juncai's words, Liu Weiming was very angry.

He can actually understand Ma Juncai's thoughts, very simple, first, the criterion for evaluating whether an official is excellent or not is the economy, and the evaluation standard of education for officials is not so obvious. Second, economic development can produce immediate results, and the results can be seen when he is in office. Education, on the other hand, is a long-term process, and to see the results, not only is the investment huge, but the effect is not so obvious. Even if there is a result, it is not necessarily his horse Juncai, and few people will be willing to do this kind of thing of planting trees by themselves and enjoying the shade of others. Third, it may not be that he does not attach importance to education, but that Baishan's financial income is indeed limited, and if he invests in education, his ambitious economic promotion plan may be affected to a certain extent, which is very unfavorable for him personally. This is the habitual thinking of the majority of officials, and this cannot be blamed on the fact that there are problems in the thinking of the officials, but it can only be said that there are certain loopholes in the entire system. After all, no one can be impartial to the point of the proletariat. Liu Weiming himself is an exception, because his mind is no longer on promotion, what he wants is to do more things that are beneficial to the people in the first day of his reign, this is his original ideal, but in the middle of these years he lost his way for many years, and now he has picked it up again.

"If I have the opportunity, I would like to go to our rural primary school in Baishan with you to see what kind of education our children receive and what kind of teaching environment they enjoy. Comrades, economic development is important, but education is equally important, and the two are inseparable. Is it just because of economic development that our satellites have been launched into the sky? In the poorest years of our country, didn't our two bombs and one satellite also come out? The issue of education cannot be ignored. Mayor Ma also said just now that economic development is very important, yes, economic development is of course important, and we cannot reduce the inevitable investment in economic development, but education is also a big problem, and investment in education must also be increased. I propose to reduce this year's official expenses, save all the expenses that can be saved, tighten everyone's belts for two years, and wait until our economic level improves, everyone's life will be better. I'm here to take the lead, and I'm going to donate all my salaries and bonuses and all my benefits to the Finance Bureau, which will directly allocate my income to education when the time comes. In addition, next year, there must be a hard and fast rule on the standards for education funding in each county and district, and the people's congress will discuss how much it will be at that time. Liu Weiming didn't want to embarrass Ma Juncai too much, so he admitted defeat by himself. However, Liu Weiming's idea is that this idea is not in a hurry now, and he will wait until next year.

Ma Juncai looked at Liu Weiming with a little drum in his heart, and he thought in his heart that he had completely offended Liu Weiming. However, he can't help it, he has what he has to insist on.

"Comrades, we should not only think about how to get promoted and make a fortune, but also be responsible for the people. When doing things, don't just think about your own personal gains and losses. The purpose of our work is to develop Baishan, but the development of Baishan is not to have a factory full of land, but the common people are still participating in the development of Baishan as a labor export force. Yes, talent training and civic training are not something that can be achieved overnight, this time may take ten or twenty years, at that time, I believe that there is no one who is still sitting at this table, and at that time, the people will not remember that this is our credit. However, I think that if we don't do it, the people will scold our current party committee and government as rubbish and bastards. That concludes our meeting for today. Liu Weiming finally said something directly and then took his notebook and left.

When everyone left, Ma Juncai's face turned red and white for a while, and everyone could hear it, Liu Weiming's last words were for himself. This made Ma Juncai very angry, he was more than ten years older than Liu Weiming, and he was scolded like this by a descendant, no one would be able to stand it. Although Liu Weiming rarely compromised with himself today, his anger was also visible.

Ma Juncai stood up, pulled his clothes and walked out of the conference room. The dissatisfaction with Liu Weiming in my heart has reached the extreme. scolded in his heart: "A hairy young man knows a fart, and a guy who hasn't grown all the hair dares to say that I? I don't even understand the most basic rules of officialdom, do you think that you can be lawless if you are the secretary of the municipal party committee? In the world, it seems that he is the only one in this world who is worried about the country and the people, and he doesn't know how to do things, and there is only one way out of today's Baishan, and only economic development can solve all other problems, and if the economy does not develop, everything else is a fart. ”

Liu Weiming walked into his office and sat down to smoke a cigarette, and then began to regret a little, regretting that he finally said such a heavy sentence. This kind of remark should not come out of the mouth of a secretary of the city party committee, and no one will be surprised if it comes out of the mouth of a township secretary, but he is a secretary of the city party committee. Speaking like this at the Standing Committee will be regarded as frivolous and impulsive, and there is no certain political awareness. Liu Weiming didn't know what was going on with him, he just said such a thing impulsively, maybe he had been saying everything in the Standing Committee for a long time, and today he was suddenly annoyed and angry by being opposed.

He was indeed angry, angry that Ma Juncai only saw the immediate and did not care about the long-term development. Social progress does not depend on the renminbi, but on labor. What is labor? Technology is talent. No matter how much industry you bring in, yes, the GDP will go up, and the people will have jobs, but the role of the people involved in it is just a labor exporter, and they will never be able to change the fate of being at the bottom of the society. In addition, education is a long-term process, because of the long time, so it can be one day earlier. Thinking like this, Liu Weiming began to get a little angry again, and then thought about it, in fact, Ma Juncai was not wrong, saying that he was only for himself and not for the people was indeed a bit too much, and the contradiction between him and himself was just a different way of looking at the problem. It seems that he has completely offended him this time, Liu Weiming smiled bitterly, and secretly said that he has been here for so many years, but sometimes he is still impulsive, it seems that his forbearance skills are still not in place. Liu Weiming reflected on himself again.

Liu Weiming smoked two cigarettes, and his mood calmed down, and he silently thought in his heart that there was calm in every major event. Then he began to continue to look at Wen Jiàn, at this time, the mobile phone rang, Liu Weiming took out the mobile phone and looked at it, it was Han Dacheng's secretary Xiao Tang. Liu Weiming thought about it in his heart, what is this Secretary Han Dacheng calling him for at this time? After thinking about it for a while, he picked it up and said directly: "Hello Tang." ”

"Secretary Liu is polite, just call me Xiao Tang. That's right, Secretary Han asked you to come to his office tomorrow morning. Han Dacheng's secretary said politely.

"Oh, okay, okay, that Tang department, I don't know when Secretary Han will be free tomorrow morning?" Liu Weiming asked again, seeing that the leader is knowledgeable. Although the leader wants you to meet him, the leader can't be free at all times, and you can only wait there if you go early, and the impression on the leader is not good.

"Secretary Han will be free from half past nine to ten o'clock tomorrow morning. Han Dacheng's secretary obviously knew that Liu Weiming would ask, so he had already looked at the time.

"Then thank you Tang, tomorrow I will go to Lingshan and invite Tang to have a meal together. Liu Weiming said politely.

"Secretary Liu is too polite, my time depends on Secretary Han's work arrangement. If you have time, be sure to have two drinks with Secretary Liu. I still have something to do, so I'll hang up first. Secretary Han Dacheng also replied politely.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Weiming seriously thought about what Han Dacheng had asked him to go to his office for? It seems that it is certain that Wang Dekai will be transferred to the people's congress to support the new deputy secretary of the municipal party committee.

At noon, Liu Weiming went to the cafeteria alone to eat, and then returned to the office to take a nap. Wake up at half past two, and walk out of the rest room. I saw that Wang Tingting was helping herself clean up the table and then wiping it.

"Why are you here?, is the child all right?" asked Liu Weiming.

"Thank you Secretary Liu for your concern, the child accidentally fell, and although he is still in the hospital, there is no major problem. Wang Tingting nodded and replied.

"Then you are in the hospital with the child, didn't I approve you with leave?" Liu Weiming said after lighting a cigarette and looking outside the window.

"How can this work, there is no big problem on the child's side, her grandmother is accompanied, since it's okay, I'll come back to work, it's definitely inconvenient for you to do so many things every day without a secretary." After Wang Tingting wiped the table, she made a pot of tea for Liu Weiming.

"Okay, since you're here in the afternoon, let's go to work, I'll give you a day off tomorrow, and I'll go to the provincial party committee tomorrow." It's good to spend more time with your children and work hard, but family is just as important. Work is the platform for us to embody our self-worth in life, and family is the carrier of our life. Liu Weiming didn't say much, and after speaking, he sat down in his position and prepared to go to work.

"I see, thank you, Secretary Liu. Wang Tingting nodded, without much reaction, and then sat down on her desk outside.

After working for a while, Wang Tingting knocked on the door and came in.

"Secretary Liu, I just saw a report on the Internet, I think you might be interested. Wang Tingting said to Liu Weiming.

"What report?" asked Liu Weiming, looking up.

This is a report from the press conference of the National W. House. The National Council of the People's Republic of China has determined the principles and policies of vigorously developing the southwest. Wang Tingting continued.

"Well, you turn on your computer and find this report for me. Liu Weiming nodded, although he had already known this matter, he was still very interested in this kind of major event that could affect the development of Baishan, and he must also understand.

Wang Tingting walked to Liu Weiming's side and began to hook her waist to open the computer. Because the computer is not far from Liu Weiming, Liu Weiming can be said to have almost had a skin-to-skin blind date with Wang Tingting. Liu Weiming could smell the intoxicating fragrance on Wang Tingting's body. Liu Weiming is starting to be a little nervous again.
