After May Day, three things happened in Wulong Township that are worth mentioning, the first is that Yue Haohan was officially notified by the Jiangyang County Party Committee to be appointed as a member of the Wulong Township Party Committee and director of the Party and Government Office; The second is that Huang Zijian and Sun Chunping, who were seconded to the township party and government office, were officially transferred to the township government at the same time; The third thing is that the Jiangyang County Party Committee and the county government have made a decision to make the five villages in the Heiyazi Management Area of Wulong Township a pilot village in Jiangyang County to standardize and lighten the peasants' burdens.

Recently, most of the people in Jiangyang County have made a discovery, that is, the county party committee and the county government have a very tacit understanding in their work, especially the relationship between Gu Zhengshan, secretary of the county party committee, and Feng Mingjiang, the county magistrate, has greatly improved, like the newlyweds have entered the honeymoon period.

Careful people will find that such a situation occurred after Gu Zhengshan returned from the investigation of Wulong Township and the inspection of Executive Vice Governor Han Dewei.

On the afternoon of the second day after sending off Executive Vice Governor Han Dewei, in a suite of the Yangjiang Hotel, Gu Zhengshan and Feng Mingjiang had a separate long talk, and outsiders had no way of knowing what was specifically discussed between the two people, but since that long talk, the relationship between the two people has undergone a complete change.

Gu Zhengshan was only three years older than Feng Mingjiang, and Feng Mingjiang came to Jiangyang a year earlier than Gu Zhengshan. Feng Mingjiang originally served as the deputy secretary-general of the Yanshan Municipal Government, and the deputy secretary-general of the Yanshan Municipal Government was also a deputy director-level, but for Feng Mingjiang back then, he was also a young man, and he was promoted to deputy secretary-general at the age of thirty-three. However, Feng Mingjiang was not happy in the position of deputy secretary general, there were seven deputy secretaries general of the Yanshan Municipal Government, Feng Mingjiang was the youngest, and my qualifications were ranked last, serving Yu Ruping, the deputy mayor in charge of culture, education and health.

As the saying goes, it is difficult to serve strong women, and it is even more difficult to serve female leaders at a certain level, Feng Mingjiang has served the deputy mayor Yu Ruping for several years, it can be said that there is no right, and he has suffered a lot of grievances, until Feng Mingjiang and Vice Governor Lin Leiyue got into a relationship, and with the help of Lin Leiyue's mediation, at the age of 36, when the city and county were changed, Feng Mingjiang was transferred from Yanshan City to Jiangyang County as a county magistrate; Originally, he planned to take over the position of secretary of the county party committee after working in the position of county magistrate for one or two years, but he did not expect that after the former secretary of the county party committee was transferred, he came out of the middle of the way to bite the gold, and Gu Zhengshan came out, and was transferred from the position of deputy secretary general of the Hudong City Municipal Party Committee to Jiangyang County, and took over the post of secretary of the county party committee. Feng Mingjiang held back his thoughts because of this, and his emotions were very great, which was manifested in his usual work, he always and everywhere with Gu Zhengshan, and he did not cooperate with Gu Zhengshan's work very much, he fought with Gu Zhengshan openly and secretly, and sprinkled his anger on Gu Zhengshan, as if Gu Zhengshan had taken away his position as secretary of the county party committee.

On the afternoon of the second day after sending off Executive Vice Governor Han Dewei, Gu Zhengshan took a shower in the 3018 suite of Yangjiang Hotel, put on his clothes, sat in the living room of the room, lit a cigarette and smoked, thinking back to the past few years when he came to Jiangyang to take office, he has been fighting with the county magistrate Feng Mingjiang, thinking about it carefully, there is no decent political achievement to come up with, seeing that the term of office of the secretary of the Jiangyang County Party Committee is almost over, and he is also in his fortiesHowever, if you want to do something, without the support of the county magistrate Feng Mingjiang, it will definitely not work.

Flicked the cigarette ash on the ashtray on the coffee table, poured a cup of tea, Gu Zhengshan thought of the word measurement game played with Yue Haohan when he went to the countryside to investigate, it seems that the "Book of Changes" is indeed mysterious, broad and profound, the word "than" that he wrote at that time, that is, he wrote it by hand, Yue Haohan was able to analyze so many truths according to the Book of Changes, and every sentence said to his heart, yes, only with Feng Mingjiang to complement each other, magnanimity, selflessness, sincere unity, is the best win-win situation.

Thinking about it, Gu Zhengshan pressed the cigarette butt in his hand in the ashtray, got up and picked up the phone in the room, and hung up in Feng Mingjiang's office. Hello, is there any arrangement?

Gu Zhengshan personally called Feng Mingjiang, this is the first time in several years, Feng Mingjiang feels understandable hesitation, all along, the two of them have been in contact with each other in private through the secretary, like today, Gu Zhengshan directly hung up the phone in Feng Mingjiang's office, it was really the first time.

Feeling Feng Mingjiang's hesitation, Gu Zhengshan smiled heartily on the phone and said, Mingjiang, I'm in room 3018 of Yangjiang Hotel, will you be busy? If you're not busy, you come over and have a few things I want to discuss with you.

Feng Mingjiang said, okay, Secretary Gu, I will have nothing else to do in the office, and I will go over immediately.

Soon Feng Mingjiang arrived in room 3018 of Yangjiang Hotel, Gu Zhengshan shook hands with Feng Mingjiang with a smile, let Feng Mingjiang sit down on the sofa, and personally poured a cup of tea for Feng Mingjiang and put it on the coffee table, picked up the Chinese cigarette on the coffee table and took out the root and handed it to Feng Mingjiang, and then sat down on the sofa next to Feng Mingjiang, also lit a cigarette and smoked, saying, Mingjiang, we brothers have worked together for more than three years.

Feng Mingjiang said, yes, Secretary Gu, four years, more than three years.

Gu Zhengshan looked at Feng Mingjiang, took two puffs of cigarette, spit out the smoke, let the white smoke surround him, and was silent for a few seconds, Gu Zhengshan said, Mingjiang, I am a few years older than you, I don't talk about the relationship at work, I can be regarded as your eldest brother in private; It's really sad to think about the time we have wasted in the past few years, the two of us have been in Jiangyang for a few years, and if you think about it, we really haven't done anything that can make the two of us proud.

Gu Zhengshan's words made Feng Mingjiang a little moved, thinking, it seems that Gu Zhengshan wants to make friends with himself today, why don't you think so, the two have been fighting secretly for a few years, it can be said that both sides are defeated, and they have not divided between high and low, and most of the provincial and municipal leaders know that the main party and government leaders in Jiangyang County are not in harmony, this impression has a great impact on the progress of the two people's careers, and it is not good that the two of them will stop moving forward from now on, the snipe and the clam will fight, and the fisherman will benefit!

Feng Mingjiang thought, since Gu Zhengshan saw this layer of stakes, and took the initiative to put down his posture and make peace with himself, shaking hands and making peace, in fact, he already had such an idea in his heart, why not just get off the donkey and join hands with Gu Zhengshan to make good achievements, maybe he can take a few more steps forward in his career in the future.

Thinking about it, Feng Mingjiang took two puffs of the cigarette in his hand, looked at Gu Zhengshan sincerely, and said, Secretary Gu, you know that I am a person, my personality is too strong, my vision is not long-term, I always focus on small things, I have not cooperated with the work of the county party committee in a solid manner in the past few years, it is indeed me who is wrong, you have to criticize more.

Gu Zhengshan said, Brother Shujiang, you are far away, I have been reflecting on myself recently, I also have a lot of things that are not, I am older than you, and I am a secretary, I should be magnanimous, but if you think about it in the past few years, the county party committee has done a very poor job in supporting the work of the county government, I hope Brother Shujiang will not be surprised!

Gu Zhengshan spoke, paused, picked up the cup on the coffee table and took two sips, and then said, I sent Governor Han back yesterday, I couldn't sleep at night, so I picked up the "Book of Changes" on the bedside, and just happened to see the eighth hexagram "Water and Land Ratio" hexagram, the content of the hexagram is thought-provoking; Although we are party members and cadres and materialists, the cultural heritage left by our Chinese ancestors is still very helpful to us in our work and life.

Feng Mingjiang smiled, took a sip of tea from his cup, looked at Gu Zhengshan, and said, Oh, Secretary Gu still has this hobby? I heard that the Book of Changes is very profound, and ordinary people can't see why.

Gu Zhengshan laughed twice and said, I am also a pastime, sometimes when I can't sleep, I look at it and change my brain; The "water-to-land ratio" hexagram I read yesterday is mainly about the principle of yin and yang balance, yin and yang balance know-it-all, to make an inappropriate analogy, just like our county party committee, county government, county party committee is yang, county government is yin, yin and yang interact and depend on each other, only when the balance is reached, everything will be very smooth, and we can unite with each other to do a career; It's like a family, if the parents respect each other like guests and live in harmony, the children below will be happy and happy; If parents quarrel and scold all day long, children must not have the heart to do what they want to do.

Feng Mingjiang sighed and said, yes! Brothers are single-minded, and their profits are gold!

There are many things in this world that cannot be untied, and many misunderstandings and contradictions are caused by the lack of communication and communication between each other. Gu Zhengshan and Feng Mingjiang talked about it today, and both of them seemed to have a feeling of moving away from a big stone in their hearts, and they felt very relaxed in each other's hearts, and the topic also talked about life, hobbies, work, and the development plan of Jiangyang in the future.

Gu Zhengshan looked at his watch, got up and hung up the phone to Tao Chunxiao, and said, Chunxiao, you let the hotel restaurant fry a few side dishes, prepare a bottle of Wuliangye, and send it to room 3018 of the hotel.

Putting down the phone, Gu Zhengshan and Feng Mingjiang continued to chat, and after a while, the hotel waiter sent in a few fried dishes and a bottle of Wuliangye, Gu Zhengshan found the big glass in the hotel room, opened the wine, poured two large glasses of wine, and said, Shujiang, today the two of us divided this catty of wine equally, let's talk while drinking, how about it?

Feng Mingjiang picked up the wine glass, touched it with Gu Zhengshan's cup, and said, Okay, Secretary Gu, let's drink!

Gu Zhengshan and Feng Mingjiang were in room 3018, chatting, drinking, and drying up a catty of Wuliangye, and the knot between the two of them for several years was completely opened. Men are a strange thing, sometimes wine can quickly shorten the distance between the hearts of two men, and the two chatted until more than ten o'clock in the evening, and Feng Mingjiang said goodbye and left.

At the Standing Committee meeting the next day, most of the Standing Committee members found that the relationship between Gu Zhengshan, secretary of the county party committee, and Feng Mingjiang, the county magistrate, had changed

On the morning of 4 May, Yue Haohan received a document from the county government, in which he informed that the Heiyazi Management Area in Wulong Township should be regarded as a pilot management area for standardizing and reducing the burden on peasants in the county.

In He Anqing's office, He Anqing patiently read the documents handed over by Yue Haohan, and asked, Haohan, there is no specific plan, how can we pilot? After this pilot, how to make up for the short-collected taxes and fees?

Yue Haohan replied, Secretary He, I think that since the county has let our township carry out a pilot project, it will definitely give us a policy, and as for the specific plan, we can learn from the successful experience of other places, formulate one in combination with the actual situation of our township, and gradually improve it in the course of the pilot project.

He Anqing said: This county government is also true, why did it choose to carry out pilot projects in our township, which is more than the townships and towns with heavy burdens on farmers in our township, why not in other townships and towns? What will happen to some of the funds that will be short-harvested in the future as part of the pilot project with us? Haohan, I think so, you go and report to the head of Lin Township, in the afternoon we will convene a party committee to discuss it first, set up a leading group for the pilot work of burden reduction, and your party and government office will first draw up an intentional document, which will be studied and approved at the meeting before the following.

Holding the documents of the county government, coming out of He Anqing's office, Yue Haohan was very puzzled in his heart, the burden reduction pilot was originally a good thing, which could not only allow the people to get benefits and reduce the burden, but also produce experience, models, and political achievements, but how to look at He Anqing was a little unwilling to pilot; Is it because they are afraid that the burden of the common people will be reduced, and they are worried that there will be no money to spend in the township? This is a bit petty!

Yue Haohan smiled bitterly, shook his head, and walked towards the office of the township chief Lin Ping with the documents. Lin Ping, who was sitting at the desk answering the phone, saw Yue Haohan come in with a document, pointed to the sofa with his right hand, and motioned for Yue Haohan to sit down. Yue Haohan glanced at Lin Ping, and sat down on the sofa opposite the desk.

After waiting for two minutes, Lin Ping put down the phone, got up and took out a disposable teacup, and while pouring tea for Yue Haohan, he asked with a smile, Haohan, what's wrong? Look at your face a little unhappy! The party committee member who was just notified hasn't bothered to hold a celebration meeting for you, what's making you unhappy?

Yue Haohan handed the county government document to Lin Ping and said, Township Chief Lin, look at this document, I just received it, Secretary He has already read it, let me come and report to you.

Lin Ping took the document, looked at it seriously, read the document, looked up at Yue Haohan, and said, it is a good thing to conduct a pilot project in our township, what are you unhappy about?

Yue Haohan said, Township Chief Lin, when I reported to Secretary He just now, I felt that Secretary He was a little reluctant to put the pilot in our township, and Secretary He was probably afraid that the short collection of taxes and fees after the pilot would affect the normal operation of the township.

Lin Ping said that since the county has put the burden reduction pilot in our township, we must do a good job and explore an experience and way to reduce the burden for the county party committee and the county government; When we do something, we must not be too short-sighted, we must not consider the problem from the perspective of the interests of our own small group, but think about the overall situation. Vast, your party and government offices should regard this matter as a matter of top priority, first draw up a preliminary plan, and then solicit the opinions of all units and village groups directly under the township to improve it.

Yue Haohan said, Township Chief Lin, in fact, our party and government offices have formulated a set of implementation plans based on the experience of reducing burdens in other places and the actual situation in our Wulong Township.
