Chapter 098 The latent contradictions are beginning to emerge

(In the discussion that the county economy is still underdeveloped; When the finances are not sufficient, whether or not to tighten the belt and first go to Shangma to deal with the flooding problem of the Jinshui River, the first and second leaders have to put aside the discussion for the time being when their understanding is obviously opposed. It's a rare winter day: the sky is clear, cloudless, windless, and the temperature is moderate. Since the last period of busyness, political affairs and general elections, everything has entered the routine, Zhong Jingliang has recovered again, and has cultivated a good habit of going to bed early and getting up early over the years.

I got up early in the morning, followed the flow of people who got up early and exercised in the morning, and walked to the Jinshui River. I can't help but go back to a few years ago, when I was working in the Letters and Visits Department of the Education Bureau, I fell in love with Ye Lan, and the fragments of my work and interaction with Hou Ke, Sister Chen, Gong Liyuliang and others - then appeared in front of me, in the suburban song and dance hall, in order to avenge Ye Lan, he single-handedly fought the lackey thug raised by the bad boss Fang Shiyuan; In the Jinshui Hexi Ribbon Park, the love between himself and Ye Lan in the pavilion is lingering: the Tibetan youth who sells mutton skewers with the makeup of the new partner of the martial arts school, and the scene of Fang Shiyuan's pawn; When he was attacked and ostracized by the Zhao family's father and daughter to go to the countryside to help the poor, Sister Hou Ke Chen and Gong Li said goodbye at Liang Station - recalling the past and the present, several friendly colleagues have also been properly arranged: make the best use of their talents; They are satisfied, and as a "human ladder" to support them, they also feel deeply balanced and comfortable in their hearts. Isn't there a saying that "for the convenience of others, for the convenience of one's own family; Do you benefit others and benefit yourself"? With these good partners and right-hand men, why worry about not being able to do a good job? Can't the county be changed? Can't the county economy be on the platform?

Recalling that the general election of the Jinshui County Party Committee just ended not long ago, because he was sober-minded and clear-minded, he made fine preparations in advance, especially according to the words of the Standing Committee members who retained the team: did a good job in the "foreign body cleaning" work of the team and the surrounding area; Therefore, the whole election process is smooth and transparent; Not only did they achieve the expected results: Zhou Zhengyuan and Hao Shuyun, deputy secretaries of their own favorites, Lou Qinglian, secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and Ye Lan, director of the Organization Department, were successfully re-elected. And Wang Tao, the former deputy secretary and county magistrate, and Liu Ming, the executive deputy county magistrate of the Standing Committee, were on the same front, and they were puffed out of one nostril, and they were promised by Wang Tao before the change: if they become the secretary of the county party committee, let them replace Zhou Zhengyuan and Hao Shuyun as deputy secretaries, Wu Yuanheng, the former secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, and Shan Changming, the minister of propaganda, also made them lose the election as scheduled by doing work in advance; and vacated the position to select Sister Chen and Jiang Xincheng, and at the same time entered the Standing Committee, replacing the former two as the Minister of Propaganda and the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee.

It's just that in the specific division of labor of the Standing Committee, there was a small disagreement: Zhong Jingliang originally intended to let Hao Shuyun be the first deputy secretary and temporarily take charge of the government; When the government changes, he will officially transition to the county magistrate. But Hao Shuyun emphasized that "after all, she is a woman, and it is okay to grasp a soft indicator ideological and political organization; If you really grasp the economy and production, you will not be as good as gay men in terms of energy and physical strength"; Therefore, Zhou Zhengyuan is strongly recommended to be the first deputy secretary to temporarily take charge of the government and serve as the acting county magistrate. It is also because of Hao Shuyun's humility and strong recommendation that he originally had the right to be ambitious, but due to his personality, he was not reused when his predecessor Fei Cong was the secretary; A deputy secretary who has been ranked the most depressed in the market economy has been depressed for a long time. It was also in this struggle that Zhong Jingliang "cleaned up the internal garbage" because he helped him: he provided a lot of bad deeds of Wang Tao and Liu Ming, who was also a protégé of the old cadre in the province and his college classmate, so as to gain Zhong Jingliang's trust and attention. But it is precisely because he dares to "lay a black hand" on his former classmates, so that Zhong Jingliang's trust in him cannot be greatly reduced. But now Hao Shuyun has brought it up in person; plus the two deputy secretaries of the team; Since Hao Qianrang, let alone her recommending it, even if she doesn't recommend it, it can only be him Zhou Zhengyuan. As a result, the division of labor in this team is a foregone conclusion.

As far as Zhou Zhengyuan is concerned, someone brought him a pillow when he was sleepy, so although he was humble on his face, he couldn't help but smile in his heart and accept it. But because Zhong Jingliang did not mention him as the successor to the government, he was the best candidate for the county magistrate, so from then on, he had a grudge against Zhong Jingliang. Later, due to the flood of the Jinshui River, Zhong Jingliang went down to the river to save people, but was flooded and washed away by the rolling flood; A county party secretary disappeared for 33 days! But during this period, Zhou Zhengyuan, the acting county magistrate, not only did not listen to Hao Shuyun and Ye Lan and other good words, but organized people to spend a lot of effort to find the squad leader; However, with the support of the teacher in his province, he was in full swing to prepare for the plan to "seize power" to replace the "missing person" as the secretary of the county party committee. That's for later.

Zhong Jingliang walked on the riverbank and inspected the condition of the riverbed. A few years ago, when I was just admitted to the county high school, the Jinshui River flooded, flooding many villages on both sides of the river, and drowning many people. But suddenly like a wild beast, it opened its bloody mouth and devoured the village land; devouring the precious lives of men and livestock; Let's listen to the old generation: Jinshui River seems to have spirituality, because in order to develop the economy, people violate the laws of nature, destroy the ecological balance, and in order to retaliate against people, there will be a flood that is close to extinction every 10 years; If you take it seriously, it will also turn floods into water conservancy.

At that time, as a 15- or 6-year-old middle school student, under the leadership of the school leaders and homeroom teachers, they came to both sides of the river to fight the flood and provide disaster relief. Witnessing the disaster brought by the flood to the masses on both sides of the strait, while being heartbroken, he could not help but secretly make an oath in his heart: If he himself accepted God's favor and made himself a county magistrate here, he would personally lead the cadres and masses of the whole county and make great efforts to completely eradicate it -- Shangcang may have been moved by the sincerity of a middle school student, and 20 years later, he really made himself the secretary of the county party committee. So, walking slowly on the embankment, Zhong Jingliang immediately made a bold decision in his heart: after being busy with the county's winter farmland and water conservancy infrastructure construction and the spring plowing and large-scale production after the New Year, he immediately organized finance, agriculture and water conservancy in advance, and the leaders of relevant bureaus and commissions and technical personnel used half a month and 20 days to conduct a comprehensive investigation of all the Jinshui River sections in the county; On the basis of the investigation, a comprehensive plan was formulated to cure the flooding of the Jinshui River; On this basis, an army of 100,000 troops was organized to participate in the great campaign to cure the flooding of the Jinshui River.

At this moment, I saw a round of morning sun rising from the eastern horizon. Zhong Jingliang subconsciously raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and couldn't help but let out an "ah", unconsciously a morning had passed in an instant. Worried about the Standing Committee meeting in the morning, he hurried back. As a matter of fact, the potential contradictions between Zhong Jingliang and Zhou Zhengyuan, first deputy secretary and acting county magistrate, in terms of their governing philosophy, began to emerge from the Standing Committee meeting this morning.

In the morning of the same day, the conference room of the county standing committee. It seems to have been driving for more than two hours; According to the original "Anmin Notice", that is, the meeting notice issued by the office in advance, all the topics of this meeting have been studied; The decision has been made. When Yu Liang, the newly appointed chairman of the Standing Committee who presided over the meeting, was about to announce the "adjournment of the meeting," and the participants had closed the "work record" and stood up one after another, Zhong Jingliang suddenly waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down again.

"Today's meeting of the Standing Committee was a great success, and all the topics were agreed upon, and relevant resolutions were made. So, I don't have anything else to say about the content of this meeting. Zhong Jingliang first briefly summarized the results of the meeting; Then he thought about proposing a new topic. "I'm sorry for the delay of a few more minutes, but I want to bring up a new issue."

So, he walked along the banks of the Jinshui River in the morning, touched the scene, and suddenly recalled the Jinshui River, every 10 years, the regular occurrence of the second major flood problem, and the oath he made when he participated in the flood relief in middle school, and briefly recounted it - "Comrades! In recent years, whenever I walked by the Jinshui River, when I returned to the house, as soon as I closed my eyes, the tragic scene of the rolling torrent raging the villages along the river, devouring people, livestock and fields reappeared in my mind; And my heart trembled! Zhong Jingliang said bitterly with tears in his eyes. We are the party of the working class, the people's power, can we turn a blind eye to the safety of the masses and the sufferings of life? Therefore, when I was by the river, I suddenly had an idea: during the term of office of our party committee and government, even if we tighten our belts and tighten any other expenses, we must save money to resolutely cure the water in Tianjin! Of course, it's still early, so I'll bring it up now, so that everyone can prepare their minds in advance. It's better to discuss it first. ”

After Zhong Jingliang spoke, there was a silence in the room, and even the sound of a needle falling on the ground could be heard; Everyone's hearts seemed to tremble. However, no one has yet taken the lead in taking the floor. After listening to it for a long time, Zhong Jingliang looked at Zhou Zhengyuan and said: "Old Zhou, because I was walking by the Jinshui River this morning, I suddenly had this idea; So I didn't greet you in advance. What do you think about this? ”

"Ho! Secretary Zhong, it seems that he is still a person from a poor background, and he has not forgotten his roots! Maybe it's because I haven't experienced the tragic experience of the flood of the Jinshui River since I was transferred to Jinshui, so I don't feel deeply. Maybe it's called 'the full man doesn't know the hungry man is hungry', right? Zhou Zhengyuan seemed to be humble, but he really ridiculed the other party. But since the party organization has pushed me to the position of 'acting county magistrate', I have to be in one position: consider the overall situation and start from the whole situation. A medium-sized county with a population of 800,000 has a lot of work, and economic development naturally comes first. It is necessary to deal with the assessment and evaluation of various economic indicators of our county by the superiors; It also needs to take into account the food and clothing of the 700,000 rural population; Nearly 30,000 to 50,000 cadres and workers have been paid wages, and 30,000 to 50,000 urban residents have been given recuperation. Far water does not quench the thirst of the near; Not to mention that the Jinshui River floods once in ten years, and we may not be unlucky during our tenure; Even if it does, there will be no more than 30,000 or 50,000 people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait who will be affected. This is disproportionate to the other 700,000 people. Therefore, I am still underdeveloped in the county economy; Under the circumstance that the county and township finances are not sufficient, it is not appropriate to start to eradicate the water supply at present. That's what I really think; If not, please criticize and correct the secretary and the standing committee members attending the meeting. ”

After Zhou Zhengyuan talked about his own views, even a few people who were originally indifferent in their thinking and understood and stood on the position of individual or small group interests, they spoke one after another to express their support; And Hao Shuyun, Lou Qinglian, Ye Lan, Sister Chen, etc., because they didn't understand the situation, the number one leader was ahead of schedule and did not ventilate; In view of the differences of opinion between the first and second leaders, it was not clear which was right and which was wrong for a while; Therefore, for a while, I could only be silent for a while; Maybe Zhong Jingliang also suddenly realized that it was too hasty to decide to rely on major events and not solicit opinions separately in advance; Anyway, it's still early before the action, so let's put it for now. As a result, the meeting was immediately adjourned. (3358 words in this chapter)
