Section 19: First Stop

"I don't think I need to repeat the importance of the Yunnan-Burma Expressway, once this strategic highway is completed and opened to traffic, it can undoubtedly bring a huge role in promoting the development of the entire western Yunnan region, but it is such a strategic road project invested by the state, but it is always obstructed in one way or another locally. In promoting this strategic project, the principal leaders of some local party committees and governments do not ponder how to overcome difficulties and solve practical problems, and instead of considering the overall situation and developing the local economy in the light of local realities, they are making small calculations all day long, thinking about how to bargain with the province and the central government and reap more benefits for the localities and even individuals?????? -- Cai Zhengyang, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee"

"In some localities, the main leaders of the party and government, in order to cater to the superiors and ignore the actual local situation, blindly invite merit and flattery, infringe on the interests of the masses, lead to the occurrence of group incidents, and cause a bad impact,?????? -- Tao Heqian, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Governor of the Province"

Zhao Guodong recalled the minutes of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee that he borrowed from the Provincial Party Committee Office, which were the clear-cut language on the minutes of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, and he also had some understanding of the causes and consequences of the matter, the cause of which was the problem in the construction of the Yunnan-Burma Expressway and the Yunnan-Burma Railway, and the problem happened to be in the two cities of Yongchang and Dehong. It is also the key to the bitter dispute between the two sides.

"Where have you gone now, Yebai?" Zhao Guodong did not ask about specific matters, but threw the topic to Fang Yebai, deputy director of the ministry office in front.

"Minister Zhao, now that we have passed Yongning County in Cangshan City, there are about seventy kilometers to reach Yongchang City, and it is estimated that it will take forty minutes to get there." Fang Yebai turned around and said with a smile: "The construction quality of Cangyong Expressway is quite good, and there are not many vehicles on the road now, it is estimated that everyone will know about the opening of this highway for a while, and then this road will not be able to run with open feet like now." ”

"Well, the pull effect of the opening of a highway for the economic development of a region often takes a period of time to appear, which is not only a direct economic pull effect, but more importantly, a psychological breakthrough shackles, which can allow the cadres and the masses to get a liberation in their ideological concepts, this point of view may seem a little exaggerated in the eyes of many people, maybe only after a few years, you can really feel this profound change." Zhao Guodong's voice was calm and neutral, and his speech was slow, obviously explaining his views while thinking.

"Minister Zhao, I know that you paid great attention to the construction of transportation infrastructure during your work in Anyuan, I remember that the last time I took several cadres from Hongshan Prefecture to Ningling with Minister Wei of the Organization Department of the Anyuan Provincial Party Committee, you were also preparing to build Ningtong Expressway and Ningtang Expressway, and you are planning to take the BOT method to promote, to be completely open to private capital BOT project, it is said that your Ningling move is also a precedent in our interior, is your work experience in Ningling make you feel particularly in this regard?"

Sitting behind Zhao Guodong was an elegant woman, in her early forties, with her shawl hair pulled into a rather spiritual bun, wearing a very refreshing professional suit, which was a bit of an intellectual woman.

She is the only "acquaintance" of Zhao Guodong who has a little impression in the Organization Department of the Southern Yunnan Provincial Party Committee, Vice Minister Ji Zilan.

At the beginning, Hongshan Prefecture and Ningling City reached a cadre exchange agreement through the Organization Department of the two provinces, and Ji Zilan was responsible for contacting and contacting this matter, so she also had a friendship with Zhao Guodong, the secretary of the Ningling Municipal Party Committee at that time, and she also went to Ningling for a short stay.

"It can be regarded as that Ningling originally only had one national highway 915, so it was relatively closed, but after the completion of the Anxiang Expressway, the economic pull of several cities along the line is quite obvious, especially Tucheng County, from a lonely pure agricultural county, has rapidly developed into the province's food industry output value of the first large county, and its tourism resources are precisely because of the completion of the Anxiang Expressway has been unprecedentedly developed, and quickly become the top 30 tourism industry strong counties in Anyuan Province, I am deeply touched by this." Zhao Guodong sighed for a while and said: "Therefore, Ningling also took advantage of the trend of the central government's lifting of the ban on private capital and wanted to go faster, so the BOT of the two projects of Ningtong and Ningtang Expressway was pushed to private capital, and it is estimated that construction will start this year." ”

Although he doesn't like to talk about his achievements in Ningling, but just after arriving in southern Yunnan, many people will talk about Ningling's economic achievements intentionally or unintentionally, which has almost become the best introduction for everyone to open the topic with themselves, so after experiencing several such situations, he had to give up his original plan, not to mention that this is not a bad thing, and many people do have a curious attitude to understand the reasons and reasons for the development of Ningling.

To be honest, Zhao Guodong hopes that there will be so many cities in southern Yunnan that can learn from Ningling's development experience and make their own economic development the same as Ningling, although this is just a good wish.

"Our transportation construction in southern Yunnan has also developed greatly after Secretary Cai came, especially the road construction in Shitong County is a huge investment, but the time is still short, many places have not yet been completed, or the completion has not yet shown benefits." Ji Zilan is also a smart woman, she vaguely knows the relationship between Zhao Guodong and Cai Zhengyang, and the original intricate relationships and contradictions in the province will have a strange change because of Zhao Guodong's appointment as the head of the organization, which she is also aware of, so she is also very knowledgeable in words.

"Relying on major cities to establish highways-based trunk roads, it is extremely important to attract investment and develop the economy, and the road traffic in Shitong County can lay the foundation for the formation of a unified market and economic system in a region, which needs to be determined by considering the actual situation."

Zhao Guodong found that he seemed to be a little off topic as soon as he spoke, although everyone in the car listened very carefully, but he was the head of the organization department, not the director of the Department of Transportation or the vice governor in charge, and too much attention to these was obviously a bit of a taste of overstepping, so the words quickly changed: "I also hope that Yongchang can further promote the development of social and economic undertakings with the help of the completion of the Cangyong Expressway." Minister Zilan, have you already been in contact with Yongchang? ”

"I have contacted, Hua Zicai, Secretary of the Yongchang Municipal Party Committee, Zhang Song, Mayor, Gou Liangji, Deputy Secretary, Cao Zeshui, Minister of Organization, and Gao Yaohua, Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee, are already waiting for you in the Municipal Party Committee."

Ji Zilan is also quite familiar with the situation of the Yongchang Municipal Party Committee, and it can be seen that the Yongchang Municipal Party Committee attaches great importance to the arrival of Zhao Guodong.

"Liangji, Zeshui, Minister Zhao chose our Yongchang as the first stop, and he can be regarded as looking up to our Yongchang." Hua Zicai, who was carrying his hands on his back, stood in the compound of the municipal party committee, and just now he talked to Ji Zilan, deputy director of the Organization Department, and said that they had already gotten off the highway and entered the city, and it was estimated that they were about to arrive, "The matter over there in Longling has been dealt with?" ”

"It's not a big problem today, I asked the people at the Letters and Visits Bureau to go ahead of time. However, Secretary Hua, I always feel that this matter cannot be dragged out like this, or this matter will have to be dragged out sooner or later, and the Longling County Party Committee and County Government are now also full of resentment, thinking that the Municipal Party Committee will each play 50 boards without figuring it out, and I think this is also a problem. Gou Liangji, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, who answered the conversation, his face was a little gloomy, "The provincial party committee has not made a clear statement, only that the provincial discipline inspection commission is investigating, but how can the provincial discipline inspection commission investigate these problems clearly?" What's the point and value of asking the so-called few parties over and over again, asking and asking so painlessly? ”

Hua Zicai's originally peaceful face was also a little gloomy by Gou Liangji's words, and the haze between his eyebrows gradually piled up, today is not a time to discuss and study this matter, but it is not easy for Minister Zhao to come to visit, Hua Zicai pondered that he also needs to make a brief report to Minister Zhao when he investigates, but he still doesn't know the true thoughts of this Minister Zhao, and they all say that Minister Zhao and Secretary Cai have an unusual relationship, but these are all hearsay, and the original understanding is not ordinary? It was a bit sloppy, and because of that, he had been a little hesitant.

"What do you think should be done?" Hua Zicai glanced at Mayor Zhang Song, who was coming out of the bathroom at the other end of the corridor, and said quietly.

"We have to report the report to show the state of our municipal party committee, if it drags on like this, we are not people on both sides, if the conditions are not ripe on Secretary Cai's side, I think we can take the initiative to report to Secretary Chu Liu and Minister Zhao." Gou Liangji lowered his voice: "This time Minister Zhao came, I think it is an opportunity, I can ask him to take a look at the scene, and introduce the situation, I think this is much more intuitive for us to say that writing materials." ”
