As soon as the noodles were finished, Chen Jie's mobile phone rang, and when he looked at it, he said to Liang Jian: "It's Comrade Jiang Yuan's phone number, it is estimated that he is asking the time." ”

Liang Jian said: "The noodles are almost eaten, and it will be enough for us to go back for half an hour." Just half an hour later. ”

"Okay. Chen Jie picked up the phone, and sure enough, he came to confirm the time with Chen Jie, so he set a time with them according to what Liang Jian said.

Before leaving, Liang Jian stopped Mingde and said, "If Comrade Mingde has nothing to do, come along, just right, I also have something I want to talk to you about." ”

Matilda nodded.

The four people and two cars arrived at the Taihe Hotel one after another, and there were five minutes before the agreed time with Lou Jiangyuan, which was just right. Liang Jian and his party were about to go in, when suddenly a car came, Chen Jie looked at it and said, "It's Comrade Jiang Yuan's car." As he spoke, he turned his head and asked Liang Jian, "Do we want to wait for Comrade Jiang Yuan to join us?"

At the time of saying this, the car had already arrived. Lou Jiangyuan got out of the car and saw Liang Jian and them, and was stunned for a moment. Mingde seemed to be worried that Lou Jiangyuan would misunderstand, and explained: "We just arrived here, and we happened to see your car coming, so we waited for you along the way." ”

Liang Jian asked Lou Jiangyuan, "Have you eaten dinner?"

Lou Jiangyuan nodded: "I've eaten it." ”

"Then let's go up. After Liang Jian finished speaking, he took the lead and walked in front. When he arrived upstairs, as soon as he entered the door, Chen Jie was like a qualified secretary, took the kettle and prepared to make tea. Liang Jian stopped him: "Let Xiao Wu come, you come and sit." ”

Xiao Wu stepped forward to take the kettle in his hand, and Chen Jie came over to the sofa and sat next to Mingde.

Liang Jian didn't open his mouth as soon as he sat down and talked straight to the point, because something like that happened before, and some words, the topic that he originally wanted to talk about with Lou Jiangyuan may have to be considered to see how to add or subtract.

Xiao Wu quickly made tea and brought it over, and after putting it down one by one, he quietly withdrew. Waiting for the door to close, Liang Jian spoke: "When I was having dinner today, I happened to meet Comrade Mingde, so I asked him to come over." This was said to Lou Jiangyuan, when he saw Mingde when he just got out of the car, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and Liang Jian saw it.

Matilda smiled, an awkward smile. Lou Jiangyuan looked at Chen Jie with some puzzlement, Chen Jie looked at Liang Jian, and said to Lou Jiangyuan: "Today is mainly because I am not good, I originally thought that Secretary Liang was the first time to come to Taihe, and I wanted to take Secretary Liang to taste authentic Taihe food, but I didn't expect bad luck and ran into trouble." ”

When Lou Jiangyuan heard this, he blurted out and asked, "Did you take Secretary Liang to Hao Lele Noodle Restaurant?"

Liang Jian heard Lou Jiangyuan say this, and immediately became curious, Chen Jie didn't say anything just now, but Lou Jiangyuan suddenly guessed that it was Hao Lele Noodle Restaurant.

Lou Jiangyuan seemed to sense the surprise in Liang Jian's heart, and explained: "You may not know that Comrade Chen Jie has a habit of pulling people to Hao Lele Noodle Restaurant to eat noodles. ”

Liang Jian glanced at Chen Jie, and he smiled embarrassedly. Liang Jian slandered in his heart, what kind of habit is this. It's just that Lou Jiangyuan's blurted out words should not be as simple as he explained. Hao Lele and that gang ruffian are also frequent visitors to the Public Security Bureau, and Lou Jiangyuan should have heard of it. It's just that such a situation is known to the Taihe Municipal Government, but it has been allowed to do it, which really made Liang Jian a little "surprised".

Accidents are accidents, and today's focus is on two other things. Time is precious, so don't talk about it anymore. Liang Jian took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, which was getting more and more sore today, and said, "I asked you to come over today, mainly to learn some information from you. ”

Lou Jiangyuan should know very well what Liang Jian wanted to know, but Mingde still didn't seem to understand, and continued: "You say." ”

Liang Jian looked at him and asked, "Comrade Mingde should have also heard about what I encountered on the highway this morning, right?"

Mingde naturally knew, but his brain was turning a little slower, he didn't expect this matter just now, and when he heard Liang Jian mention it, his expression was slightly sluggish, although he quickly returned to normal, but Liang Jian still saw it.

Matilda replied a little stiffly: "Well, I heard. ”

"I've heard that it's not the first time that these people have made such a fuss, and Comrade Mingde, as the leader of the public security system, should have a clearer understanding of the situation, right?" Liang Jian looked at him and asked.

"I only took over this matter after I took office recently, and I used to be personally in charge of the previous Director He, and he never let others interfere in Loushan's affairs. When Comrade Mingde answered, his eyes turned slightly downward, and Liang Jian always felt that that appearance was the appearance of a weak heart.

If it is a deficiency of heart, what is Mingde's deficiency of heart? Is it clear that he understands it very well but says that he does not understand?

Liang Jian smiled and said, "I didn't know about it before, but now that you are the leader of the public security system, you have the opportunity and time to take a closer look at this matter." Well, I'll give you a month, do you think that's enough?"

Comrade Mingde was stunned, he didn't expect that Liang Jian's routine was completely unreasonable. But since Liang Jian said it, he couldn't refuse, so he had to prepare to respond. Just as he was about to nod, Lou Jiangyuan, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke: "I don't think there is such a need to be in such a hurry about the matter of Loushan Coal Mine. Comrade Mingde has also just taken office, and the public security system has many shortcomings under the previous Director He, and he also needs time to rectify it. Secretary Liang is putting a burden on him at this time, isn't it a little too late?"

Lou Jiangyuan suddenly spoke for Comrade Mingde, and Liang Jian was not very surprised. When he came out of the car for lunch today, Lou Jiangyuan had already expressed his attitude, and he didn't want Liang Jian to hold on to Lou Shan's affairs. And he later learned from Chen Jie that Lou Jiangyuan had already hit a wall many times in the matter of Loushan, so his current obstruction may not want Liang Jian to repeat his previous experience in this matter.

It's just that Liang Jian has never liked to encounter problems, so he just let it go without touching it. No matter how difficult it is, he has to try it head-on. In this world, there is no south wall that will fall without colliding, and you have to bump it to know if it will fall, what if it falls?

Lou Jiangyuan may have other meanings, but Liang Jian doesn't want to taste too much. In Liang Jian's current view, Loushan's problem is not difficult to say, the key lies in one word. But if the problem of Loushan is not solved, then it will be difficult for Taihe City to change. From Chen Jie's description to him in the office during the day, and from Minister Yan's car in the morning, Liang Jian can realize that what Chen Jie said may not be completely correct, but it may not be incorrect. The problem of the Loushan coal mine is certainly not an isolated case, it is just a microcosm. There are so many coal mines in Taihe City, and behind each coal mine, there is a shadow shrinking, connected to the province. Just like Chen Jie said, in a sense, the Taihe Municipal Government is a puppet.

Liang Jian is not arrogant enough to be confident that he can completely change this situation and get rid of this puppet model, but he hopes that, at least during his tenure, he can work hard to transform Taihe City into a "puppet" with a certain freedom of thought and action.

The key to breaking through this status quo may lie in the case of the Loushan Coal Mine.

Mingde saw Lou Jiangyuan speaking for him, and his expression was relieved, but when he saw that Liang Jian didn't make a sound for a long time, his expression became a little nervous. And Lou Jiangyuan also frowned slightly.

At this time, Chen Jie broke the silence: "Actually, I also think that Loushan's affairs don't need to be too urgent, and you can plan slowly." This matter has been accumulated for a long time, and if you want to solve it, it will definitely not be able to be achieved overnight. At present, the most important thing is to first solve the financial problems of the Taihe government. ”

Liang Jian glanced at Chen Jie, laughed, and said, "Comrade Chen Jie got to the point. The main problem I have come to you today is to talk to you about this financial issue. In this society, everything needs money, and it is difficult to move an inch without money, and the government is the same, Comrade Jiang Yuan, are you right?"

Lou Jiangyuan nodded.

Liang Jian continued: "Back to the matter of Loushan just now, this matter is actually not difficult, in the final analysis, it is still on this money word. As long as we have money, then the two topics that the people of Loushan gave me today, no matter which one they are, there is no problem. ”

Lou Jiangyuan looked at Liang Jian with a serious expression: "I also understand what you said." However, the key lies in this money word. Where does the money come from? The economic lifeblood of Taihe City lies in those coal mines, but most of these coal mines are under the direct jurisdiction of the province, and Taihe City has no way to interfere at all. And due to environmental problems, the tourism industry in Taihe City has also plummeted in recent years, and the economic income has been very worrisome. In addition, the corruption problem in the previous term was serious, and the current Taihe Municipal Government is just an empty shelf, which looks good and sounds good. In fact, it's just a fat man with a swollen face. ”

Liang Jian saw that Lou Jiangyuan's expression was serious, and he also straightened his expression, and replied: "I have already had a preliminary understanding of what you said. Therefore, I called you here today to discuss with you how the money will come from. This problem has always to be solved, are you willing to live in such a state for the next few years?"

Lou Jiangyuan's expression was a little ugly, his lips moved, but he didn't speak. Liang Jian knew that a person who had touched the wall seven or eight times in the province for the matter of the Loushan Coal Mine would naturally not be reconciled. But on the other hand, Liang Jian looked at Mingde, who lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Comrade Mingde, what do you think?" Liang Jian didn't want him to just keep his head down and mess around.

Comrade Mingde raised his head and sighed: "Whoever is in this system, who doesn't want to have some glorious deeds on their resume, but the problem of Taihe City is not a matter of the past few years, but it has been exposed because of corruption in the past two years." The problem of Taihe City can be said to be deep-rooted, unless you pull out all those coal mining groups as poisonous fangs, otherwise, it can't be solved. ”

Mingde's pessimism and decadence made Liang Jian a little disappointed. He shook his head, turned to Lou Jiangyuan again, and said: "I have heard people say before that Comrade Jiang Yuan is a person who has a fire in his heart, and now, I want to ask, has the fire of Comrade Jiang Yuan's psychology been extinguished?"
