Thinking of this, Qi Tianxiang's heart felt even more blocked, and in the interval between the subsequent personnel scrambling to find a seat, Qi Tianxiang diverted his attention and looked at the conference room he was in.

The conference room is the size of two offices, two rows of long tables side by side, covered with or scarlet, or blue tablecloth, surrounded by a circle of wooden chairs, it has become the place to hold a meeting of the township government, there were not so many people attending the meeting, the conference room does not need to be particularly large, and in reality at the township government level, the utilization rate of the conference room is not high.

Now that there are so many people suddenly, there is naturally not enough chairs in a circle to sit on, and a row of benches has been temporarily added around the chairs, which makes the originally empty conference room cramped and crowded. The changes are not only these, the conference room has also been hastily arranged, which can be clearly seen from the content of the mirror frames hanging on the wall, in the frames of different sizes, old and new, there are not only the work regulations of the party committee and the government, but also the construction system of the women's federation and the youth league working committee, as well as the content of the mediation work, which is obviously temporarily found from various offices. Hanging on a fairly white wall, it looks like a patch, nondescript, and funny.

As the people who entered the conference room sat down one after another, and gradually quieted down, Qi Tianxiang looked around at the people in the conference room, smiled slightly and said to Wang Tongjun slowly: "It was noisy outside just now, and there were many onlookers, there was no way to talk in detail, now you will introduce the family members of Pingba Township!" ”

Qi Tianxiang's words were calm, although his voice was not high, but it made the conference room silent, Wang Tongjun also hurriedly stood up, beckoned the two people around him to stand up together, looked at Qi Tianxiang and nervously introduced: "These two, one is Liu Nengfu, Secretary of the Party Committee of Pingba Township, and the other is Wu Shengli, the head of the township. ”

Qi Tianxiang listened to Wang Tongjun's slightly trembling voice, and knew that his current mood was already highly tense, not only him, but also the two township cadres who stood up with him, their faces were pale, and their expressions were almost out of control, so he waved his hand to Wang Tongjun gently, and said in a tactful tone as much as possible: "Let's all sit down and talk!" Don't be nervous, there's no need to be nervous, no matter how high or low your position is, whether you know it or not, you all come here for one purpose. When you go to Pingba Township, a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, you are the master, it should be more natural, what is the situation, just explain it. ”

Qi Tianxiang said, looking at Wang Ping, Liao Yong and others beside him generously, and said with a slow smile: "The so-called shop bullying customers, customers bullying the store, this is true, our group of people came to this relatively closed place, it's strange that people are not nervous!" I have never seen so many cadres large and small in my life, which makes people really at a loss. ”

With Qi Tianxiang's words, Wang Ping and others all smiled softly and kindly, which caused the laughter of many cadres in the conference room, which made the atmosphere in the slightly tense conference room a little looser, and Qi Tianxiang stopped talking, but encouraged the two leaders of Pingba Township with warm eyes.

"Let me first introduce the basic situation of the township! There are incomplete places, and I also ask Governor Qi and leaders to bear more. Liu Nengfu tried his best to control his nervous mood, and involuntarily stood up again, his eyes did not dare to look directly at Qi Tianxiang, but projected onto the wall behind Qi Tianxiang, and said quickly: "I have not been in this township for a long time, and Township Chief Wu is in a similar situation to me, both of which were adjusted from other townships at the end of last year, and it was only a little more than half a year. ”

Liu Nengfu spoke quickly, and his mood slowly stabilized, and the next words gradually smoothed out a lot, "Our Pingba Township is the most remote township in the western part of the county, and it is also a township that is all in the deep mountainous area, with an area of nearly 10,000 square kilometers, with nine peaks, seven curves and twelve ditches, and many areas are not connected to roads. There are 13,000 households and 51,367 people in the township, distributed in the deep mountainous areas, with 32 administrative villages, 118 natural villages, and 842 scattered villager groups that do not belong to the management of village groups, most of which are two or three households in village groups. ”

"The whole township is vast and sparsely populated, scattered and mostly mountainous and hilly, and the villagers' income sources are mainly grain crops, forest fruits, and a small amount of planting, and they are basically self-sufficient. Last year, the per capita net income of peasants was 2,300 yuan, and there were more than 27,000 people living in poverty, of whom 4,163 were extremely poor. Liu Nengfu clearly reported the numbers, his voice was not high, and his tone was not slow, and he said cautiously: "Because our township is located in a deep mountainous area, medical security and basic education are insufficient, except for the township government where there is a complete primary school and a boarding system, there are only six primary schools in the township administrative village, and many of them are mixed teaching, and the teachers are seriously insufficient, there are only 19 public teachers in the township, and the rest are private teachers. There is a small hospital in the township, and there are not too many medical staff, so it can only simply deal with some headaches, brain fever, or wound dressing. ”

"Governor Qi and so many provincial leaders came here to deal with emergencies, not to listen to your introduction to the hometown, what are you doing so much, isn't time precious?" Mao Zhigang, who hadn't had his turn to speak for a long time, interjected, interrupted Liu Nengfu's report, and stared at him angrily: "Do you want to introduce the composition of your township party committee and township government, the work situation, and the work you have done recently!" Or the use of fiscal revenues and transfer funds! These can be dispensed with, or seize the time to focus on reporting the situation of the mining area and pollution sources! ”

Mao Zhigang's sideways approach immediately made Liu Nengfu, who was in a state, freeze somewhere, the expression on his face became stiff, and he looked at Mao Zhigang with a little nervousness in embarrassment, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while. Such a scene has never been encountered in his political experience, and he has no experience in dealing with it at all. To report to such a high-level cadre, and to be ruthlessly interrupted, this is something he did not expect.

In his experience, he was faced with some cadres in the township and village groups, or some ordinary people who had no education, who only had what he said, but did not have the patience to listen, and often glared without a few words, or slapped the table and cursed, which is a common thing. Even if I go to the county to report work or hold a meeting, I still turn around and scold others after listening to the scolding, and I rarely have a good time to speak. Now he has no way to deal with such a situation, and he doesn't know how to continue, and it is not even very clear whether he will sit down and wait for the leaders to ask questions.

"Let him go on! I think it's right! The family background is very clear, it can be seen that it has also put in a lot of effort, knowing my family background, understanding these shortcomings and difficulties, I think it is a preliminary achievement. Qi Tianxiang turned his face to look at Mao Zhigang, stopped him from further rebuke with his eyes, and then turned his face to look at Liu Nengfu, looked at the thin and cramped grassroots official in front of him with a slight smile, gently calmed his emotions, and asked curiously: "How old are you this year?" ”

Mao Zhigang's reproach made Liu Nengfu nervous and embarrassed, but Qi Tianxiang's question made Liu Nengfu stunned, he didn't know what Qi Tianxiang's question meant, and after a moment of stunned, he had to answer honestly: "I am forty-two years old in a few years, and I belong to the dragon." ”

"Forty-two years old, dragon, if you don't say it, we all think you're fifty-two years old." Qi Tianxiang waved his hand to signal Liu Nengfu to sit down, Liu Nengfu's answer made him a little surprised, the thin and old, and even a little haggard middle-aged man in front of him was only forty-two years old, which really made him a little unbelievable, so he glanced at Mao Zhigang, and then looked at Wang Tongjun, and then said to Liu Nengfu gently: "Early forties is the age of entrepreneurship, and as a grassroots cadre, there is no time to work in the township and do things for the people. Mayor Mao, not a few years older than you, Wang Tongjun, the county magistrate, is much more than you, grassroots work is not easy, but you have to take care of your body and take care of yourself! ”

Qi Tianxiang's words were gentle, which not only moved Liu Nengfu, but also surprised everyone in the conference room. No one thought that Qi Tianxiang would suddenly say such a thing at this time, and he also had a full understanding of the use of grassroots cadres, as well as generosity and care for grassroots cadres. Since they didn't know the intention of Qi Tianxiang's words, no one dared to interject, so they all widened their eyes and waited for Qi Tianxiang's next words.

Qi Tianxiang seemed to know the doubts in everyone's eyes, and also understood Liu Nengfu's emotion at the moment, so he looked around at the people in the conference room with a slight smile, and then said, "Why do you say that?" The leaders of the provincial departments and prefectures and cities here may also have experience in grassroots work, but looking back now, it can only be regarded as a transition at best, but at Liu Nengfu's age and current state, they are doing things. In his early forties, according to the current cadre management regulations, the room for growth is already very limited, and if you do well, you can work in the county, or make a transition to that bureau and committee. ”

Qi Tianxiang's words instantly caused a commotion in the conference room, Qi Tianxiang ignored these discussions and exchanged ears, and continued: "Therefore, grassroots cadres are gritting their teeth and doing things, sometimes it is like being in a hurry, because if you miss a car, you may miss all the opportunities. Especially in the work of townships and towns, it is necessary not only to appease the people, but also to cater to the superiors, and when necessary, to make friends with the powerful and give gifts to socialize, but in the final analysis, it is still necessary to do things, and it is not difficult to satisfy the above, and it is possible to engage in some showmanship, make some superficial articles, or give money and gifts. But it is not easy to satisfy the people, a thousand threads above, a needle below, really change the lives of the people, increase their income, this is not the slightest false thing. ”
