"How much can you do in two or three years? It also takes five or six years for a tree to become a tree, maybe longer, and it takes two or three years to rotate after working in the township, and the good ones go up to the next round, and then rotate after the general or medium ones, and after a few rounds, they don't do much, and the age advantage is gone. ”

Qi Tianxiang said to himself, and said with deep feelings: "Those who want to do things do not have enough time, but those who are opportunistic can make good use of the time of these two or three years, which makes it difficult to do things and acts. Looking at Liu Nengfu's gray hair and old and tired expression, who can believe that he is only forty-two years old, the leader of such a mountainous township, it is obviously impossible to run back and forth from the county every day, it is good to come for two days a week, if he comes for three days, he is competent, he is here for five days, or he is here for a month, it is estimated that no one will believe it. Come to two or three days a week, such a large area, is there time to go down and take a look? This is the reason why I said that it is not easy to clear the family background, and he can report it so clearly and accurately, which shows that he has put a lot of effort into it. ”

Qi Tianxiang made such a big turn, praising Liu Nengfu in disguise, and also showing his understanding of the grassroots situation and the current situation, so far everyone also understood, especially Liu Nengfu, his face was flushed with emotion, and after Qi Tianxiang's words ended, he stood up again, looked at Qi Tianxiang, and said with some stammering: "Thank you very much Governor Qi for your understanding, I didn't do a good job, it's not worth saying that." ”

Seeing Qi Tianxiang's slightly smiling expression, he seemed to be greatly encouraged, and after a short period of crampedness, he slowly recovered his natural nature and said seriously: "I came here with Township Chief Wu, and in the past half a year, the two of us have divided labor, and used all possible time to go to the village groups under our jurisdiction to understand and visit on the spot, and basically walked through. As long as the people can come to the township, we can also go to the people's homes, and at the same time require each deputy township head to understand an area, and require that the time in the township every week should not be less than three days, and the time at the grassroots level every week should not be less than one day, so there is still too little contact with the grassroots. ”

"Since Secretary Liu took office, he has spent almost half a year in the township and village group." Wu Shengli snatched Liu Nengfu's words, said quickly, and then grinned apologetically at Liu Nengfu, looked at Qi Tianxiang and said: "Even the Chinese New Year is spent with the people in the village, in addition to going to the county for more than half a year, I rarely go home, and I can spend some time wandering around, and I can't take care of it at all." ”

"Lao Wu, don't say it, now is not the time to evaluate the merits." Liu Nengfu turned his face and glanced at Wu Shengli, his face turned red, stopped Wu Shengli's words, and then said apologetically: "Things have come to this point, alarming the provincial and municipal leaders, what else do we have to say, even if we don't go home for a year, we can't resist our sin of dereliction of duty and negligence." ”

Qi Tianxiang heard both apology and a hint of resentment from Liu Nengfu's words, so he glanced at Wang Tongjun imperceptibly, and saw that he did not have any special change in expression, so he took Liu Nengfu's words, looked at Liu Nengfu seriously, and said gently: "Meritorious service is meritorious, meritorious service is excessive, only when merit is clear can rewards and punishments be fair, the people have an account in their hearts, and the higher-level party committee and government also have a mirror." If you don't say that you are modest, it is a dereliction of duty if the higher-level party committee and government do not pay attention. Zhou Gongdan has one bath and three catches, one meal and three spit feeds, the king of ceremonies, and the corporal of Lixian, such a feat, it is difficult to hide the mistakes of not knowing people and employing people, not to mention us junior mortals. ”

Qi Tianxiang quickly realized that his words were a little difficult, so he laughed a few times, raised his wrist to look at his watch, and then said to Liu Nengfu: "But now is indeed not the time to evaluate the merits, let's talk about the things in front of us first!" It's you, or your Township Chief Wu. ”

The preference and affection in Qi Tianxiang's words are difficult to hide, I don't know what the reason is, from the moment Qi Tianxiang saw Liu Nengfu, he had a deep affection for this haggard, emaciated and old township party secretary. It's not all because the figures when he reports on his work are clear and accurate, and it's not because of the changes in his language and mood, but because he doesn't look like a cadre's attire and demeanor.

The blue Lu dry suit, which has been washed and a little whitish, this style of clothing that was popular decades ago, is slightly wide on Liu Nengfu's thin body, like a display hanging on a clothes shelf, the hands hanging on the abdomen are intertwined, the appearance is restrained and restrained, the skin on the back of the hand is black and purple and the green tendons are exposed.

Liu Nengfu's overall feeling is more like a farmer, and he is a middle-aged man who is tired all year round and carries a heavy family burden, for the life of the family, he is hard to support, work, tired and bent over, without any demands and complaints, just silently, trying his best to support, huge pressure and difficult livelihood, leaving him with only exhaustion and aging, and the helplessness of exhaustion.

But at the same time, there is a tenacity and wisdom in his eyes, which ordinary old farmers in the mountains do not have, and in his conversation, you can always hear a kind of honesty, as well as the sincerity and integrity that he always shows, and there is a deep simplicity and ease.

This made Qi Tianxiang pay special attention to it, and it was also something that could be felt very clearly, which made Qi Tianxiang like this simplicity and take a good look at him as a person. Qi Tianxiang also feels strange about his inexplicable preferences, so many years of officialdom have created Qi Tianxiang's keen vision, and it also makes him calm and calm about people and things, he likes a person at a glance, or identifies a person in a few words, which is not easy and rare. Now he suddenly recognized and liked Liu Nengfu, and recognized him, which is a rare thing, but Qi Tianxiang firmly approves of it, and he is confident that he will not look away, Liu Nengfu is a conscientious, diligent, and pragmatic grassroots cadre, and a person who can trust and entrust things.

Qi Tianxiang's gentle eyes, words of encouragement, especially the eyes that looked at him for a long time, made Liu Nengfu inexplicably nervous and uneasy, but his heart was full of excitement and excitement, so he looked directly at Wu Shengli and grinned: "I'll report to the leaders!" ”

Liu Nengfu spoke, turned his face to look at Qi Tianxiang, and said cautiously and seriously: "Our Pingba Township has only discovered mineral deposits in the past few years, thanks to the resource survey work carried out by the state five years ago, and a large number of mineral deposits have been discovered deep in the mountains of Guishui County. There are many kinds and reserves, in addition to the gold ore of precious metals, there are also associated minerals such as graphite and lead and zinc, as well as rare metals that are indispensable for national and military science and technology, which have been found in several towns and towns, but the reserves are concentrated and the area of mining value is mainly concentrated in the deep mountainous area to which Pingba Township belongs. ”

"Such an exploration report should be highly confidential, especially the discovery of rare metals, which has become a state secret, but I don't know how to be known by some people in the county, but the mining of rare metals requires professional equipment and personnel, and our county does not have this condition, so we identified gold deposits and launched a round of predatory development of mineral resources." Liu Nengfu's tone was as calm as possible, but obviously his mood was not calm, and his tone gradually became excited, and he said quickly: "Because our Pingba Township has great military significance, many areas are military control areas, and foreign machinery and equipment are not allowed to be stationed, and the production and life of the original mountain people can continue, but there can be no development in any form, so the gold mines are quietly being done, and gradually concentrated in the hands of a few people, and the construction of ancillary facilities has also been carried out. A certain scale has been formed, but our township government is not allowed to interfere, and it is not okay to intervene. ”

"It's not important, it's important to get our mountain people out of the mines." Listening to Liu Nengfu's slow and logical narration, Wu Shengli couldn't hold back any longer, interrupted Liu Nengfu's words, and stood up excitedly, looked at Qi Tianxiang and said in a loud voice: "The mountain people who used to live in the mining area have lived for generations, and the contracted mountains and forests and ration fields are all in the mountainous areas, but they have started to close the mountain and resettle, which is called improving the living and living conditions of the mountain people, which is a new measure for immigrants to alleviate poverty, but they all understand that it is a trick to make a fool of the overseas investment and development of minerals. ”

Wu Shengli said with a little anger, ignoring Liu Nengfu's reminder that he pulled his sleeve, and continued to look at Qi Tianxiang and said: "Speaking of immigrants, hundreds of families moved out of the mountainous area in a hurry, there is no housing around the county, there is no ration field, and there is no livelihood, but the aftermath work still has to be solved by our Pingba Township, which has caused a great contradiction, and it was not until this summer that the new village for immigrants was completed and used, but if it were not for the implementation of Secretary Liu's running up and down, it would not be able to be built next year, so Secretary Liu also guaranteed the responsibility of bank repayment." ”

"This is one aspect, the sloppiness and simplicity of the resettlement work, and more importantly, the current state of the mining area. After the realization of fully closed management, not only cut off the connection between the township and the surrounding natural villages and administrative villages, but also even our normal entry, to the natural villages on the periphery of the mining area, we have to bypass the mining area for a long distance to arrive, the original half a day away, now can not get to a day. Said that it was for our transportation convenience, supported our two off-road vehicles, but there was no fuel and no funds, and the car was also furnished, and there was no other means of transportation in the countryside except motorcycles. Wu Shengli continued angrily: "It's been a few times, Secretary Liu has been stopped several times in the village, and a lot of effort has been delayed, and it is even more difficult for the village group below to come over to report the work." ”
