On the Jinshan where Jiacang County is located, the four stone carved characters of "Jinshan Academy" hang impressively on the smooth cliff. Along the big characters to the east, a thousand different forms of the cliff Guanyin statue from the top of the mountain to the mountainside, behind the mountain gate of the "Guanyin Cliff", the altar that stretches for several kilometers is full of incense.

Not far from the mountain gate of "Guanyin Cliff", there are several pillars of "big incense" towering over the sky - that is the big chimney of Jiacang Chemical Factory!

In the past nearly a year, thanks to the care of the relevant departments and leaders at the higher levels, the funds of "running to be" have played an effect on this red land, and Jiacang is undergoing earth-shaking changes.

In terms of transportation, the goal of connecting townships and townships with asphalt roads has been basically achieved, and several villages near Chengguan Town and Guanshan Town have also built roads to the villages; In terms of agriculture, through measures such as halving the collection of agricultural taxes, promoting scientific and technological farming, and consolidating farmland and water conservancy infrastructure, wheat production has increased significantly compared with last year, and the area of rice cultivation has also increased. In terms of industry, the enterprise contracting responsibility system has been continuously improved, the vitality of enterprises owned by the whole people has been continuously improved, township enterprises have taken root, and economic benefits have begun to appear......

Every morning, Yan Hengzhi, the leader of the party committee of this county, will follow the stone stairs next to the cliff carvings to climb to the top of Jinshan and overlook the historic Jiacang County. Because of the hot weather, he wore a sweat vest on his upper body, held a straw hat in his hand, and used as a fan to fan the wind while walking.

Even if he is dressed like this, those who exercise early can quickly recognize Secretary Yan. Especially Yang Zejin, who also likes to exercise early, will meet him at the corner of Guanyin Cliff almost every morning, and then go up and down the mountain together.

Today is no exception.

"Secretary Yan, morning!" Yang Zejin waved his hand and quickly followed Yan Hengzhi's footsteps.

"Zejin, when did you come back?" Secretary Yan stopped. In fact, they hadn't seen each other for more than a month.

Yang Zejin has just returned from studying in the middle and youth class of the Provincial Institute of Socialism. "Last night, I didn't have time to report back to you!"

"It's good to be young! We didn't have the opportunity to participate in such advanced learning anymore! Ha ha! Secretary Yan continued to move forward, and his pace accelerated significantly.

"Secretary Yan is still young! Look at your body, it's much stronger than ours! ”

"No, I won't take a breath of two hundred steps before! Now......" Yan Hengzhi stopped. Shaking his straw hat and hunching his waist, "Just don't fall to work!" ”

Yang Zejin walked over and stretched out his hand to support Yan Hengzhi.

Secretary Yan waved his hand, "It's not so strict." You can still walk! He straightened up and pointed to the mountains in the distance, "Zejin, our Jiacang is really mountainous!" ”

"That's right! But there are no big mountains! ”

"You're so right, it's these hills that kill people! And. Some of the hills are still artificial, and I think they should be sharpened! After Yan Hengzhi finished speaking, he continued to walk forward.

Yang Zejin grasped the leader's words. He knew that Secretary Yan was a foreigner, and he arrived in Jiacang alone, without even a secretary and driver. When he first arrived, he said that he wanted to separate the party from the government, and that if the enterprises did not move, the government would move first, and if the government did not move, the county party committee would move -- the old courtyard of the county government, which was once abandoned, is now the office of the county party committee.

Yang Zejin knew that this was a preliminary victory for the county magistrate Zhang Yingde. Speaking of Zhang Yingde, Yang Zejin knows him better than anyone else. He used to be his own leader. He is also one of the trusted people of his father-in-law. This person is thoughtful, and on the surface he is kind and kind, but in fact he is a corpse vegetarian meal.

Yang Zejin is a smart person, who not only wants to be a "good man", but also wants to do a big career. But he himself knows that you can't have both.

Between Yan and Zhang, it was difficult for him to choose.

Yan Hengzhi is about to retire, I thought that he would take a back seat after coming to Jiacang for a few years, but he didn't expect such drastic reforms after he came; Zhang Yingde is a few years younger than Yan Hengzhi and is a native of Jiacang. From the party and government to the grassroots level, there are his henchmen in every key link.

"Zejin, why did you get up all of a sudden?" Yan Hengzhi turned to look at him, pointed to the mountain not far away and asked, "You see that it is Guanshan over there, right?" ”

"Yes. Secretary, that's the hometown of a great man! ”

"Do you think Guan Shan or this Jin Shan is better?"

Yang Zejin was in trouble. In terms of history and humanities, Jinshan is superior; In terms of natural scenery, Guanshan is slightly superior. But he knew that the secretary's meaning was by no means as simple as the landscape! Jinshan is the seat of the county seat and the birthplace of Zhang Yingde; And Guanshan is the hometown of the leader - from this point of view. The advantages of Guan Shan Zheng zhì are much more prominent!

"The mountains of gold and silver can't compare to the Guanshan that gave birth to great men!" Yang Zejin pointed to the silver mountain not far away, and casually made up such a sentence, "This is a folk proverb we used a few years ago, and I think it makes some sense!" ”

"Haha, you, you have too many eyes......"

Within a few days, the prefectural party committee issued a new appointment document, and Yang Zejin was transferred to the organization department of the county party committee as the director.

The real political reform of the party and government organs in Jiacang County kicked off. Yang Zejin is not only ranked in the top two of the Standing Committee, but also the main advocate and operator of political reform.

First of all, it is necessary to further realize the separation of the party and the government, and change the pattern of the county party committee's direct intervention in the people's congress, the overall command of the government, and the all-encompassing pattern; The second is to streamline the organization, change a series of party institutions set up by the county party committee in the government, merge the institutions with similar functions, and gradually transition some professional management institutions such as agricultural technology stations and seed stations to the independent business model of enterprises; Third, there has been a major change of leadership in departments and townships and towns, and a large number of young cadres have been promoted, thus changing the tradition of "ranking seniority according to seniority."

Yang Zejin stood on the cusp of the storm, with his keen political consciousness and courage, and under the guidance of Yan Hengzhi, he basically achieved the expected goals.

Zhang Yingde's initial victory only stayed at the preliminary, and he never expected that it was Yang Zejin, a former henchman, who finally stood up against him. County Magistrate Zhang went to the area several times to report to Chen Bonian, but Lao Chen just waved his hand, "I am an old comrade who has taken a back seat, I can only listen to what you say as news, you see, the newspapers are praising our Jiacang's political reform has been fruitful, I am proud of my hometown!" ”

In this political reform, we have to mention another capable person - Nie Renhao! Nie Zhuqiao had already served as vice president of the regional academy of agricultural sciences at about this time last year. It's a good errand for him, as he can deal with the agriculture he loves, without having to worry about political struggles.

But on this day, the conversation between the leaders of the Organization Department of the prefectural party committee and him once again broke his idleness.

"Ren Hao, do you know that the whole region is now engaged in political reform?"

"Probably know!"

"If you are asked to return to the party and government organs now, which department do you want to go to? Or that county? ”

"I feel like I'm good here. Dealing with seeds every day......"

"Haha, you, you're not up to the level of scientific research, so you came here. It's Secretary Wang who gives you a transition, and you have to come out sooner or later! Do you know Yan Hengzhi? ”

"Count me as acquaintance, I've only seen his name in the newspaper, Jiacang's secretary, and he's doing it well!"

"A few days ago, he went to the prefectural committee to report on his work. I hope we will match him with a deputy county magistrate who understands agriculture, and he mentioned you......"

"He still knows me? Oh, yes, he had a little time with me, but I hadn't met him yet, so you transferred me from the orchard to this farm! ”

"Haha, Renhao, you are still so young, you can't be here for the rest of your life! Yan Hengzhi's 'old man' can still have this courage. Pull a carriage as big as Jiacang on the right track......"

"It's not easy!" After some ups and downs, Nie Renhao's views on politics are much more mature.

"Now we want to transfer you to the former executive deputy county magistrate and ask for your opinion!"

Nie Renhao smiled bitterly, as a party member, what other opinions do you have in front of the organization's arrangement? "I obey the arrangement!"

A few days later, Nie Renhao walked into the compound again. Zhang Yingde looked at the young "old friend" and gave him a tight hug.

It was Li Xiang, deputy secretary of the prefectural party committee, who came to announce Nie Renhao's appointment!

This Li Xiang is Li Xiang, the former deputy mayor of Jiangyun City. We are no strangers to him, from the deputy director of a county-level police station to the deputy head of the district and the head of the district. He was promoted to deputy mayor and was transferred from Jiangyun to Jianan a month ago.

Li Xiang and Yan Hengzhi are comrades-in-arms, Lao Li has not been here for a long time, and Lao Yan has not had time to visit this boss.

After announcing the meeting of leading cadres where Nie Renhao was appointed. Li Xiang took Nie Renhao and shook hands with the leadership of the party committee and government one by one.

"Lao Yan, I didn't expect us to meet here!"

"You have been promoted from the regiment commander to the commissioner, haha, I, I was your political commissar before, and now I am your subordinate!"

"As soon as I came, I heard from Secretary Wang. You are now a 'commander', and you are using your style in the army to govern, and if you look at your party and government leadership groups, all of them are capable cadres, and you are lagging behind in terms of age! Isn't it, County Magistrate Zhang? ”

"Secretary Yan is a veteran who gallops on the battlefield, leading troops in a good way and governing the county promisingly!" County Magistrate Zhang replied with a smile.

Secretary Yang pointed at Yang Zejin and said: "Lao Zhang, it is Minister Yang's responsibility to lead the troops, and it is your job to govern the county, I'm a staff officer at most!" ”

The group laughed, walked out of the venue, and went to the hotel for dinner......

During the feast, it is indispensable to drink some wine.

After taking his seats one by one, Yan Hengzhi said and asked Lao Li: "Old rules? ”

"The old rules!" Li Xiang replied angrily, and then smiled.

"Comrades, the old rules I talked to Lao Li are the old rules for drinking! Our Commissioner Li has a nickname called 'Three Glasses of Wine', and he drinks three glasses everywhere he drinks - one for you, one for me, and everyone has a toast together! So...... Pour the wine, County Magistrate Zhang and I will give a glass to the leader, and we will give another glass to the big guys......"

"If you don't want to-" There is still a slight gap between Jiang Yunhua and Jianan, especially the onomatopoeia at the back is particularly long, which makes everyone laugh, "Let's respect each other with three glasses of wine, and serve rice after drinking!" ”

"Good! ……”

Yang Zejin sat next to Nie Renhao, and every time he raised a glass, the two of them took the initiative to clink glasses, and then smiled and drank it all.

The estrangement in the hearts of the two people still exists. Perhaps it was precisely because of this estrangement that they were allowed to sit at the same table again to eat - this is also the cleverness of Yan Hengzhi's employment.

Another clever feature of Yan Hengzhi is the arrangement of Nie Renhao's family. When he felt that he was getting farther and farther away from the countryside, Yan Hengzhi arranged for Nie Renhao's wife to work as a worker in the county textile factory, and the two children were transferred to the county No. 1 middle school......

※※※※※※

The asphalt road from Jiacang to Shiqiao has been repaired, and what makes people laugh is that due to the shortage of funds, the section of road from Chahe to Shiqiao is neither single nor double lane, and has become 1.5 lanes.

I don't know if the technology is not strong or the contractor is cutting corners, the trucks pulling goods from several factories did not run a few times, and the road surface was damaged a lot. The road maintenance team is very busy every day, patching on the road on a hot day.

Yang Zehua made a lot of money in it. The ten-kilometer road contracted by this old man, after removing the cost, really made a small fortune. The family's black-and-white television was changed from 14 to 17 inches, and a brand new sewing machine was bought.

Yang Lao Er took the initiative to apply for no longer serving as the secretary of the village branch. Every day, like a retired cadre, he walks around the edge of the rice field with a delicate leaf cigarette stick.

In this way, there have also been changes in the teams of the two village committees. Although the new village party secretary is also surnamed Yang, he is finally no longer a member of the fifth group. Yang Shufen is still the women's director, and she turns around Yangjiawan, Mao'er Mountain, and Yantai Mountain every day.

Yang Zegui walked around those machines every day, and more and more money was put into his pocket. Shufen bought back a noodle machine from the county, and Yang Laosi's yard became even more lively.

In the past few days, there is another thing that Yang Laosi is happy about. The youngest daughter, Shufei, was admitted to the county No. 1 middle school with the first place in the township. Tomorrow is the day of the release of the list (the "good news" posted by the township middle school), and Yang Shufei's name will be pasted on the wooden wall under the theater, and she will be the first!

Yang Zegui found an abacus and calculated, in addition to the money for the second girl to prepare a dowry, he wanted to buy a black and white TV set, and sew a few new clothes for Shufei!

The second brother said that his family sold him a new 14-inch TV, but he did not answer. With that in mind, why buy an old one? He could afford to buy a new, seventeen-inch TV!

Shufei happily enjoyed her last summer vacation, because in her plan, once she went to high school, she would have to study day and night, and she must fight for this family and be admitted to a prestigious university. The main thing is that only during this hot summer vacation, there will be a little less farm work at home.

Speaking of enjoyment, she is not idle, her sister is busy with the affairs of the forest farm, and the family planning work in the village is also facing a major inspection recently. The task of picking and selling pears naturally fell on her shoulders.

Fortunately, there is a wise and handsome Brother Guangwen, the quasi-second brother-in-law who has already regarded himself as the son-in-law of the Yang family, and united the fruit retailers in the western area, and thousands of catties of pineapples were sold in less than half a month!
