Chapter 92: Memorial Hall (1)
A big event will happen in this small county town built on the mountain and going upstream.
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of a founding leader from Jiacang County. The great man is gone, but the majesty remains. The memorial hall of the former residence of the great man has just been completed, and the bronze statue stands majestically on the highest place of the county, overlooking the development of this mountain city, looking at the direction of his hometown, and his wise eyes are full of deep attachment to the land that raised him.
Mrs. Liu, the widow of the great man, decided to return to her hometown to have a look. The old lady is seventy-five years old, and she is also a respected old chief who followed the great man in the southern and northern wars. The chief's itinerary was from the distant capital to the Jianan region, to the county seat of Jiacang, and finally to the former residence of the great man, a small town thirty kilometers away from the county seat.
As soon as Chen Bonian, secretary of the county party committee, and Zhang Yingde, head of the county magistrate, returned from the prefectural party committee, they asked the secretarial section to notify the responsible persons of the four leading groups and the top leaders of relevant departments to hold a secret meeting with the county party committee.
What Secretary Chen didn't expect was that the widow of the great man was really willing to come back to see, and had already sent a letter to the province and arranged it layer by layer, although the old chief's trip to Jiacang was only a day and a half, but for this small county, it was a great honor! You must know that it was more than 20 years ago that the old chief returned to his hometown with his family! What was it like then, and what is it now? Will the cordial messages written by the great man and the high hopes placed on the symposium be implemented one by one? There are still 20 days to go, and the time to prepare for the reception is in a hurry, and the implementation of all the work and the relevant reception arrangements must be carried out by the people.
The meeting was straight to the point, and Secretary Chen announced the news with a happy face. The rest of the room began to look at each other and cheer for the great news. But the joy was always short-lived, and when they realized that there were only twenty days before the arrival of the old chief, the joy just now was swept away, and they all focused their eyes on the faces of the secretary and the county magistrate with sad faces.
According to the news from the capital, the main purpose of Chief Liu's return this time is to see the construction of his hometown, and the other is to go to the great man's hometown to cut the ribbon and worship his ancestors. Let's not talk about security today, this agency is already being specially deployed. When it comes to the situation in my hometown, all of you here know better than me. Whether it is agriculture or industry, we have been dragging our feet, not only in the region, but also in the province, which is also a poor county! Not to mention the hometown of the great man, if it weren't for the renovation of the former residence memorial hall this year, there would not even be a decent road!
"These words were not spoken by me, they were spoken by the regional leaders during the meeting this morning. I've been criticized, but I don't hit any board! The first thing to do is to think about how we've changed, how we've progressed, what have we achieved? The chief is here, what kind of new style can we show? ”
After Secretary Chen finished speaking, he looked at County Magistrate Zhang, and then looked at several deputy county magistrates in charge. "I'm throwing bricks and bricks, and I hope that everyone who comes here will know everything, say everything, and put out all the good ideas and ideas that come to mind."
Zhang Yingde was the chubby deputy county magistrate who was previously in charge of agriculture and water conservancy. Last year, the old county magistrate turned away, and he just took over the burden. County Magistrate Zhang raised his little eyes and stopped the pen in his hand, "Just now in the car, Secretary Chen and I also exchanged views. For this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we must attach great importance to it, and set up a reception group now, Director Liang, you take note of it first, and then we will print it into a booklet and send it to the relevant personnel. Secretary Chen personally served as the leader of the reception team, Secretary Ma and I served as the deputy leader, and a reception office was set up under the group, and Yang Zejin served as the director of the office, and the members of the office were ......"
Director Liang of the county party committee office, who was struggling to write, paused and glanced at Yang Zejin with some embarrassment. This is indeed somewhat unexpected, the director of the reception office is not the director of the county party committee office, nor the director of the government office, but the director of the water conservancy bureau! But everyone knows in their hearts, how can Old Man Chen not take care of his son-in-law? What's more, this was said by the county magistrate!
"Secretary Chen also mentioned just now, what can we show the old chief? That's what we're going to talk about next! County Magistrate Zhang continued.
Several old men of the CPPCC and the National People's Congress waved their hands, indicating that they had nothing to say. County Magistrate Zhang focused his attention on a few deputy county magistrates.
The deputy county magistrate in charge of transportation was the first to speak: "Secretary Chen, county magistrate Zhang, you can rest assured in terms of transportation. Even though we hadn't been notified that a chief was coming, we were building the road according to the highest standards we had earned. You also personally inspected it a few days ago, and the asphalt road from the county seat to Guanshan Town was built according to the standards of the provincial highway under the efforts of the two leaders, and it will definitely stand the test......"
Next, several deputy county magistrates made statements, and the general content was nothing more than a report on the work achievements and the projects or projects that could be handled......
Secretary Chen, who was in front of his chest with his eyes closed and his hands crossed, suddenly slapped the table: "Cliché!" I have heard these words of yours in my ears, and some of the materials sorted out by the secretarial department are, Director Liang, go down and sort it out again, and write the materials when the time comes, in case the old chief wants to listen to the report. There are ......" Secretary Chen looked at the two deputy county magistrates who had not yet spoken, "If the two of you are still what they said, there is no need to say it!" ”
Nie Renhao lowered his head and said nothing, the youngest deputy county-level leader who had just been promoted in the Jianan region had just reported to the county government ten days ago. Secretary Chen is not interested in this deputy county magistrate engaged in agriculture, and the county government has not yet studied what work he is in charge of, but after all, it was personally nominated by the secretary of the prefectural party committee.
"County Magistrate Nie, I heard that you have been walking more than 20 townships recently, how do you feel?" Secretary Chen looked at Nie Renhao, who was in his early thirties, and muttered in his heart, if it weren't for him, his son-in-law Yang Zejin would have been promoted this time!
"Secretary Chen, County Magistrate Zhang, the situation in the county is similar to that of Linmu Township, where I was before: farmers want to get rich, but unfortunately there is no way; I want to rely on the government, but the policy is not the right way! "Nie Renhao's straightforward personality has not changed.
"County Magistrate Nie, you just came up, and you need to be further familiar with the situation. Tell me, old chief, if you want to choose one to show the characteristics of our Jiacang, what do you think is the best? Secretary Chen would like to hear what this "stubborn" guy has to say.
Nie Renhao closed the notebook on the conference table, "Leaders and comrades, I am a peasant man, I speak straightforwardly, and I hope that there is a lot of Haihan if there is anything inappropriate." As the secretary just mentioned, our Jiacang is a large agricultural county and a large population county, but it is also a large poor county! Of the county's 918,325 people, 900,000 or 98 percent of the county's agricultural population was in agriculture; last year, the per capita net income of the peasants in the county was only 103 yuan, 80 percent of the rural households were poor households, and the well-off and well-off households were less than 5 percent......
"County Magistrate Nie, your answer is not what you asked! Secretary Chen asked you about your characteristics, you are here to talk about the number of jù! County Magistrate Zhang glared at Nie Renhao, hoping that he would stop in moderation.
"County Magistrate Zhang, what I'm talking about is our characteristic - poverty!"
Secretary Chen's face was blue and white, and what Nie Renhao said did make him a little embarrassed. This old Chen, who has been the director of the Revolutionary Committee for ten years and the secretary of the county party committee for three years, will take a back seat in a few years. He has been in charge of Jiacang for more than ten years, and although he has not made any political achievements, he can make this poor county with the largest population in the whole region not riot and not starve to death, and he feels worthy of this official hat. Now that Nie Renhao is talking about these numbers, isn't this pointing at his face and saying that he is not effective in governing the county?
"Go on!" Secretary Chen coughed twice to hide his embarrassment. He also saw that several old comrades had already given the young man a thumbs up, looking forward to Nie Renhao's high-minded talk.
"Actually, it's not surprising that we are poor in the mountains. Topographic conditions, natural conditions, transportation location, agricultural technology, farmers' concepts...... There is a gap between itself and other developed areas. In addition to subjective factors, most of them are limited by objective conditions. Isn't the state reviewing the national-level poverty-stricken counties this year, I think our conditions are completely sufficient, we can declare, and we can report to the old chief. ”
"What? Now that the whole country is vying to get rich first, you, County Magistrate Nie, want us to 'get poor first'? The deputy county magistrate in charge of traffic gave the young man a blank look.
"There is nothing dishonorable about being poor, a few years ago you were not a poor peasant and you couldn't go to college! Poverty is only temporary! I want to talk about another characteristic of our Jiacang, that is, the industriousness of the peasants -- this is the most important thing. Why did they work hard and not get rich? Because they lack policies, funds, technology, and marketing outlets, they also lack a major road from the mountains to the county, the region, and the whole country.
"The old chief went back to her hometown to investigate, and she wanted to see a real hometown. She was born in a peasant family, and she knew that it was not easy for the peasants, so she must be concerned about the peasants' welfare. When the chief comes, the provincial leaders will also be very rare to accompany him, and our report will be told to the chief on the one hand, and more importantly, to the provincial leaders. In this way, policy, capital, technology and other benefits will follow, as long as she puts forward hope, the provincial leaders will definitely try to implement, today you can build a provincial road to Guanshan Town, tomorrow you can build the national highway into the village! ”
"Lao Zhang, what County Magistrate Nie said is not unreasonable, about the matter of this national-level impoverished county, you can organize a meeting to study it. The old chief certainly doesn't want to see us poor, but we are also poor! If I want to talk about the current backward situation, I have to bear the main responsibility! Secretary Chen thought about Nie Renhao's words for a while, and felt that there was some truth.
"Secretary Chen, about the reception, you see that you set the tone first, and Zejin can make a plan." County Magistrate Zhang cautiously reminded the secretary.
"Lao Zhang, let's not think about the problem thoroughly! In this way, the director of the office of the reception group you just set has been changed, Ren Hao has not yet determined the specific work in charge, let him do it this time! Zejin, you follow County Magistrate Nie to learn more, make the plan practical and detailed, if you have any specific questions, you can directly ask County Magistrate Zhang! Ahem...... Secretary Chen coughed again, "My body is getting worse and worse!" Let's get here here today, and the relevant personnel will cooperate with County Magistrate Nie. Ren Hao, you order more troops and generals, everyone here, including me and Lao Zhang, are waiting for you to send! Let's adjourn! ”
Yang Zejin smiled reluctantly, then got up and shook hands with Nie Renhao.
Everyone is looking forward to what plan Nie Renhao, the commander of the light pole, can come up with!
