Chapter 099 The catastrophe descended and cleansed the souls of different officials

(The once-in-a-decade Jinshui River flood disaster is finally here - the two backbones of Jinshui County:

The secretary was bitter and angry, and was anxious to make amends, and the county magistrate regretted and feared and wanted to atone for his crimes. Zhong Jingliangyuan's worries and worries are not unreasonable, and the laws of nature are also scientific. Not only the Jinshui River in the southern Henan Plain has a natural law of flooding every 10 years, but according to hydrological records, in many inland provinces, rivers will have a flood once in 10 or 3 or 5 years. It's just that some parents and officials in some areas believe in science and care about people's livelihood and interests, so the floods in their jurisdiction were cured early and turned into water conservancy. It is said that there is also a parent official in Jinshui County who believes in science and cares about the people's livelihood -- Zhong Jingliang, secretary of the county party committee, who should also turn the unruly Jinshui River flood into water conservancy; but unfortunately there is also a short-sighted, selfish-minded county magistrate Zhou Zhengyuan who only cares about his own political achievements and ignores the interests of the people's livelihood. And this week, Zhengyuan is only a "second-in-command" in the county, but because he is a proud protégé and believer of the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee nicknamed "Lao K", he feels fearless and takes the opinion of Zhong Jingliang, the secretary of the county party committee of the "squad leader", seriously. Therefore, because Zhou Zhengyuan, the county magistrate, did not believe in science and ignored the laws of nature, nature also punished him very quickly. Thus making another significant note in the hydrological history of the county. That's for later.

Soon it will be the summer season at the beginning of the next year. In the spring of drought, it rarely rained, and most of the wheat seedlings in the field were thin and weak due to lack of water. Until this time, the original stubborn people were inevitably weak in their hearts. According to the law of nature, if there is a drought, there will be a flood, and the drought and lack of rain in spring will show that there will be waterlogging in summer.

It was only because at the meeting of the standing committee of the county party committee in the winter of the previous year, Zhong Jingliang's proposal to "tighten his belt, tighten all other financial expenditures, and also cure the flooding of the Jinshui River without hesitation" was openly opposed by Zhou Zhengyuan, who was still acting county magistrate at that time; although Zhong Jingliang was a legitimate family member and had a certain degree of independent decision-making power, after all, we are the people's government, and the secretary of the party committee must be placed under the supervision and restraint of the party and the people's representatives. In addition, it is necessary to mobilize a large amount of financial, material, and human resources to cure the floods of the Jinshui River once and for all, and this will inevitably touch the vital interests of some people; as soon as Zhou Zhengyuan secretly instigated it, some people openly stood up to express their opposition. However, if we really want to take action, we must be led by the county government. In the spring, when the government was changed, relying on the foundation of the previous interpersonal relations and the help of his teacher and leader in the province, Zhou Zhengyuan successfully became the county magistrate in name only, and he did not take the young county party secretary who was seven or eight years younger than him in his eyes; although Zhong Jingliang was surrounded by Hao Yelou, Chen Jiang, and others, who helped him with his right hand and right, because they were all novices, they lacked a strong social background; and after all, most of them were soft-spoken. In terms of this big action, it can't help Zhong Jingliang much.

Therefore, under the supervision and urging of Zhong Jingliang, the leaders of the Jinshui River were reluctantly organized to investigate the amount of technical and technical skills, and on this basis, a specific implementation plan was also formulated; but because Zhou Zhengyuan secretly interfered and obstructed, and delayed in terms of people, money, and materials, when the rainy season came, only one project of dredging along the river had not yet been completed.

In those days, the weather was suddenly hot and unbearably hot overnight, and the next morning was filled with dark clouds; and thunder and lightning roared in the morning; when some villagers in the countryside on both sides of the river had not yet covered their wheat stacks on the drying field, the wind swept the rain columns, and they came all over the world -- the storms and rains that struck for several days not only immediately threatened the vast number of cadres in the urban and rural areas of Jinshui, but also made their parents, Zhong Jingliang, secretary of the county party committee, and Zhou Zhengyuan, the county magistrate, tremble in their hearts and could not sleep and eat peacefully. This is the third night after the rain, it is nearly 9 o'clock, but the lights are still on in the compound of the county party committee and the office of Secretary Zhong Jingliang. The wind, rain, thunder and lightning outside still covered it for a while, and there was no sign of stopping. Zhong Jingliang in the room was anxiously pacing with his hands behind his back, while listening carefully to the weather forecast on the radio.

"According to the forecast of the Provincial Meteorological Center, in the past week, most areas south of the Yellow River in our province, especially in the western mountainous areas and some areas along the banks of the Jinshui River, there will still be moderate to heavy rain, and there will be heavy to heavy rain in some areas. The announcer reported in an emphatic tone. "According to the hydrological records of many years, the Jinshui River has a once-in-10-year flooding pattern, and this year is the beginning of the tenth year; therefore, the Provincial Flood Control and Drought Relief General Headquarters, entrusted by the Provincial Party Committee, reminds the party and government leaders at all levels in the Jinshui River Basin, as well as the broad masses of the people, to conscientiously draw lessons from previous years in flood prevention and flood control, and to do a good job in flood prevention and disaster relief this year."

At this moment, the red landline bell on the office desk rang. Zhong Jingliang immediately lowered the tone of the announcement, and immediately picked up the phone and the headset answered: "Ah, Secretary Fei of the Municipal Party Committee? ”

"Jing Liang, did you listen to the forecast of the Provincial Meteorological Center just now?" Fei Cong, secretary of the H Municipal Party Committee, said in the office of Fei Cong, who was holding a telephone headset. "It has been reported that we have continued to have moderate to heavy rain here in the last week. It was also pointed out that along the Jinshui River, there was another 10-year flood. This is the law of nature, and we must not believe it. Have you held a meeting to study the flood relief measures in detail?" "Please rest assured, Secretary Fei, I have just heard the forecast of the Provincial Meteorological Center, and the situation has been understood. Zhong Jingliang reported seriously. It was decided to hold a meeting immediately to study and formulate thorough preventive measures, and that specific progress would be reported to you and the municipal party committee at any time. ”

At the same time, at the gate of the county party committee office. Hao Shuyun, Ye Lan, Lou Qinglian and other female generals, Hou Ye, Jiang Xincheng, Yu Liang, Liang Peng and other male soldiers also greeted each other and entered the hospital.

Second floor of the prefectural government. The office of the county magistrate Zhou Zhengyuan. Zhou Zhengyuan, who had just listened to the weather forecast on the radio, stood at the window through the street lamp under the corridor, looking at the rain pillars that were tight and slow, and the uninterrupted lightning and thunder from far and near, and his heart was rolling like the sea.

"Alas, why am I, Zhou Zhengyuan, unlucky? I have been looking forward to it for many years, and I have finally been a sovereign government, and I want it to rain and get wind, and I want to have wind and wind, but I have encountered this ghost weather that is dedicated to bullying people!" Zhou Zhengyuan thought sadly while looking at the non-stop rain column outside the window. "If, as the provincial meteorological center has just predicted, there will be uninterrupted moderate to heavy rain in the coming week, there will undoubtedly be a flood disaster that occurs once in 10 years on the Jinshui River! Then, because of his passive confrontation at the beginning, Zhong Jingliang's proposal to cure the flood once and for all now has the handle of creating undesirable consequences will be in his hands; how can he spare me? In today's plan, we must take the initiative and make meritorious contributions in this flood fighting, emergency rescue, and disaster relief, so as to win the other side's understanding and sympathy. ”

So, he immediately dialed the phone number of Zhong Jingliang's office.

I have just listened to the weather forecast of the Provincial Meteorological Center for a week; it seems that the situation is quite serious; I have not dared to leave the office for half a step; I am afraid that some township or county-level unit will call me to report the danger of flood disasters. Zhou Zhengyuan said in a very serious tone. "I suggest that a joint office meeting of the standing committee of the county party committee and the main government cadres be convened immediately to immediately study and formulate a more thorough plan for dealing with the dangerous flood situation; and then hold a teleconference between the townships and towns and the county-level units to immediately inform them of the plans we have studied and formulated, and urge the townships and towns to take immediate action. What do you think?"

"Old Zhou, it's really the same as what heroes see. Let's go together. Zhong Jingliang was in his office, glanced at Hao Yelou, Chen Jiang and other Standing Committee members who were already present, and said into the phone headset. "In this way, in order to compete for points and fight with God, there is no room for delay, I will ask the office to inform the Standing Committee members, and you can bring the government officials to the meeting room of the Standing Committee. After putting down the phone headset, Zhong Jingliang was silent for three or five minutes, and could not help but sneer from his heart: "Hmph, I'm really good at pretending to perform! Perhaps this is the important difference between a politician and a politician; the former focuses on performance and takes personal political interests as the starting point; the latter attaches importance to practical work and takes the interests of the party and the masses as the starting point. Once upon a time, he was still at the Standing Committee, and he said conclusively, "I am the county magistrate officially elected by the people's congress of 800,000 workers, peasants, businessmen, and soldiers in the county, and then, with the central content of "according to the forecast of the provincial meteorological center, in accordance with the instructions of the secretary of the municipal party committee, and in light of the current local meteorological situation, to study and formulate flood fighting, rescue, and disaster relief prevention measures", the enlarged (government backbone) meeting of the standing committee of the county party committee was officially held in the conference room of the standing committee. The scene of the speech of Zhong Jingliang, secretary of the county party committee; the speech of Zhou Zhengyuan, the county magistrate; Hao Shuyun, deputy secretary; Lou Qinglian, member of the Standing Committee and secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection; Ye Lan, member of the Standing Committee and director of the Organization Department; Chen Suyun (Chen), member of the Standing Committee and director of the Propaganda Department; Jiang Xincheng, member of the Standing Committee and secretary of the Political and Legal Committee; and two deputy county magistrates of the government of men and women; etc.; Members of the leading group of county-level units receive the scene of the video and telephone conference -- lessons learned in flood fighting and disaster relief -- "

Immediately afterwards, the staff of the county party committee office operated the television and telephone equipment, and Yu Liang, director of the county party committee office, presided over the meeting, and Zhong Jingliang, secretary of the county party committee, and Zhou Zhengyuan, the county magistrate, respectively delivered the scene of the television speech -- the members of the leading groups of the townships and county-level units received the video and telephone conference -- (3238 words in this chapter)
