After Long Xiao came back from the United States, it was much quieter, and even Chu Qing, who had been pestering her recently, didn't come, Long Xiao wondered if Chu Qing was also pregnant, Long Xiao called Chu Qing a few times, but Chu Qing didn't answer. Long Xiao asked Chu Qing's subordinates where Chu Qing had gone.

Chu Qing's subordinates replied to Long Xiao that Chu Qing handed over everything to his deputy and returned to Hong Kong by himself, Long Xiao felt strange, because there were more things in Long Xiao, seeing that Chu Qing didn't bother himself, he didn't bother him, and he didn't bother to go to him, anyway, the phone had already been called, but it didn't turn on, and Long Xiao had no choice, so he had to forget about it.

Recently, there are fewer things to do in Long Xiao, and Long Xiao often drinks tea and smokes cigars in the office. Sometimes the director of the finance bureau came more, and reported to Long Xiao that the financial revenue had reached more than 3 billion, not to mention anything else, that is, the toll on the highway had exceeded 1 billion, which was also something that Long Xiao did not expect.

Originally, when the highway was designed, as long as the road leading from Ningxi to the provincial capital of Haiqing Province was tolled, and the other counties and districts were free, but the various standing committee members did not agree and wanted to charge more money, so Long Xiao had to agree that all roads should be tolled, so that the financial revenue was greatly improved.

For example, the highway leading to Longnan County in Ningxi is two toll stations, one is Ningxi City, the other is Longnan County, whoever earns belongs to whom, in this way, not only Ningxi City has increased its income, but Longnan County also has a lot of funds, not to mention anything else, that is, more than 100,000 agricultural vehicles in Ningxi City run around the district and county roads every day, and the contribution to the toll road is also huge.

At this point, everyone did not expect that there were so many agricultural vehicles in Ningxi City, and Long Xiao wanted to cancel the toll booth of the highway when he saw that the financial revenue had been greatly improved, but he was unanimously opposed by many Standing Committee members, and Long Xiao had to give up and no longer mention this matter.

Longxiao's office, Hu Qiang is one of the most frequent visitors, recently Hu Qiang often smoked, Longxiao from time to time to give Hu Qiang a box of half a box of cigars, Hu Qiang became obsessed with cigars, and today came again.

"Brother Long, my cigar is gone again, give me some more?".

"You Hu Qiang, my cigar is special, you don't know, don't save it, it's such a waste, do you know how much it costs?"

"Brother Long, you've said it many times, isn't it just a hundred dollars? It's not that you don't have money, so I'll spend it for you, and you won't be able to spend it anyway."

"Stinky boy, you can talk, don't talk nonsense outside"

"That's nature, just say me, who would have known I was also a billionaire? Although it is all rewarded by you, it is also money, at least my son's son does not have to worry about money."

"It's good to know, you'd better not embezzle a penny, if you let me know, I will personally send you to prison, don't blame my big brother for my bad temper when the time comes"

"Brother Long, I remember, I'm not a fool, I have no money to ask you, it's much better than corruption, do you say?" Long Xiao looked at Hu Qiang's deceitful expression, and was also speechless.

Long Xiao and Hu Qiang are close friends, so naturally they will not be taboo when they speak, and Hu Qiang dares to joke with Long Xiao, but he will not dare to be Ma Jian.

The two were drinking tea and chatting, and Hu Qiang was about to discuss where to eat at noon, when the secretary Ye Qinghou came in.

"Secretary Long, Director Hu Xingren of the Religious Affairs Bureau wants to see you, can you let him in?"

Long Xiao was fine, so he let Director Hu in, Hu Qiang was about to go out, but was stopped by Long Xiao, and Hu Qiang sat on the sofa and smoked.

Hu Xingren came in, and when he saw Hu Qiang there, he nodded to Hu Qiang, and when he met, he said to Long Xiao: "Secretary Long, I have something to report to you", and looked at Hu Qiang as he spoke. The meaning is very clear, is it convenient to speak.

Long Xiao said: "Say, it's okay."

Hu Xingren said: "Secretary Long, a large temple has recently been built in Nanshan Mountain, do you know?" "I know something, I've heard, it's religious freedom now, and our municipal party committee can't say anything, what's wrong?".

Hu Xingren smiled and said, "Secretary Long, do you know who is enshrined in the temple?" Long Xiao smiled and said: "Who else can there be, not Guanyin Niangniang, or the Jade Emperor, or the God of Wealth or something, what's strange?" ”。

"It's you who are enshrined", Long Xiao was stunned when he heard it: "What, it's me who is enshrined, is this true?" ”

"It's true, there is also your statue, and your name, what is the name of the Dragon Night Emperor"

"Emperor Longxiao, when did I become Emperor Longxiao, isn't this nonsense?"

"I'm also strange, by chance, I heard about it, and I didn't believe it, so I went to see it myself, and it was really you, what did you say?"

Long Xiao was angry: "What else can I do?" Tearing it down, isn't this nonsense, our party cadres can't engage in superstition, who is the one who instigated this? To be harshly criticized"

Hu Xingren: "It's all spontaneous by the people, what should I do about this?" ”

"It's not okay to be spontaneous, isn't this a trick for me, if the provincial party committee knows, you have to punish me, go, Hu Qiang, Lao Hu, go and see together."

Long Xiao took Hu Qiang's car, and Hu Xingren came to the temple in the southwest mountain of Ningxi, sure enough, there were many people who burned incense and worshiped the Buddha, and the incense was very prosperous.

Long Xiao came to the main hall, and saw that the Jade Emperor was in the middle of the main hall, the Guanyin Niangniang in the left hand, and the statue of himself in the right hand.

Long Xiao couldn't cry or laugh when he saw it, he was not dead yet, someone gave him a statue, this is not a good sign, not to mention, the party cadres are the most taboo about this, if the Central Committee knows, it will be almost like a rebellion.

Long Xiao asked Hu Xingren to call the host of the temple and asked what was going on, the presiding monk was a person who could speak the truth, and when he saw Long Xiao coming, he personally explained, saying that this was the will of the people, and the will of the people could not be violated, etc.

Long Xiao was furious: "I tell you today, before sunset today, you must remove my statue, otherwise I will remove you as the host and replace it with someone else."

The host still wanted to argue a few words, but Hu Qiang was also angry: "Whatever Secretary Long says, you can do it, otherwise I will arrest you for the crime of disturbing social order, do you understand?" ”、

The host is knowledgeable, and when he saw Hu Qiang's dress, he knew that he was either the director of the public security bureau or the deputy director, but he really dared to arrest people, so he hurriedly called someone to handle it.

Long Xiao returned to his office in a huff.

"These people are really unreasonable, aren't they cheating me, Hu Qiang, what should I do?"

Hu Qiang smiled: "It seems that the people are really grateful to you, although it is a little too much, but the people's hearts are still good, if you want to say what to do, I don't know, or ask Director Hu Xingren."

Long Xiao looked at Hu Xingren, Hu Xingren hurriedly said: "As far as I know, it's all the ghosts of this host, this host is not simple, this temple was built by him with raised funds, and he did it himself, and our Religious Affairs Bureau intelligently admits a fait accompli, I think we need to hire a real host to do it."

Long Xiao agreed with Hu Xingren's opinion, but he also had some opinions about the current host: "After all, this temple was built by him, I don't think it's too much to him, you can transfer him to other temples through administrative means, I think that since this temple is already like this, let's simply expand it a little more and find a respected person to preside over it."

Hu Xingren: "Secretary Long, the government invests in the construction of temples, it seems that there is no such precedent, right?" "I didn't say that the government invested, you don't have to worry about this, I have a way, it just so happens that I have a host I know, just let him come over, I think it's good."
