Chapter 141: Debriefing Meeting
Jiacang's new ******** Yan Hengzhi is just like his surname, and he is labeled as "strict, strict, and severe". In Secretary Yan's view, he has taken an "important step" in political reform, that is, the separation of party and government, the symbolic symbol of which is the removal of the county party committee from the government compound.
Yan Hengzhi is a comrade-in-arms of Li Xiang, the current head of Nan'an District, Jiangyun City, and was originally the secretary of Jiaxi County. After returning from his studies at the Central Party School, he was transferred to a different place. Jiacang is different from Jiaxi, with a large population, a thin foundation, many mountainous areas, backward agriculture, and has just been included in the first batch of national-level poverty-stricken counties. The economy is only half of what people do.
Years of military life have tempered Secretary Yan's resolute character. On the afternoon of the day he took office, he convened a meeting of the top cadres of the units directly under the county, and the ministers, bureau chiefs, and directors found that there was a difference when they walked into the conference room, and the original empty conference table was placed with personal name plates, record books, and pens, and the seat cards were sorted according to the administrative sequence. The secretary stands at the gate to organize the sign-in, and the delegates are not allowed to enter.
A few old bureau chiefs who were used to being lazy, and it took more than ten minutes for the meeting to start late, so they casually picked up a seat in the back and sat down. They didn't know which seat was vacant in Yan Hengzhi's notebook, and the name of the corresponding seat plate had already been recorded. Less than half of the meeting, Yan Hengzhi announced on the spot that those who were late or absent from the meeting would all go to the county party committee office to write and inspect after the meeting, and those who were absent from the meeting would also be criticized in various units.
After the announcement, Yan Hengzhi continued: "In the future, you will have to sit in the prescribed seat!" In his position, he must seek his government! If you don't think that seat is right for you, then don't blame me for giving you another seat! In the future, the small meeting of the conference will be like this, there will be a seat card and a record! This record is not our secretary's business, it's yours! In the future, the speeches of the leaders of the county party committee and government will no longer be drafted or reported, and you will submit the record book to the secretarial section for inspection every month! β
Zhang Yingde, the county magistrate, sat next to him, broke out in a cold sweat, and glanced at the secretary's notebook. For fear that he would be two minutes late, he would also be put on the "blacklist" -- this is indeed the case, and Secretary Yan did not read out the names of those county-level leaders for the sake of face.
In the past six months, Secretary Yan has run the most not in townships and towns, but in the central and provincial governments. In his opinion. The root cause of Jiacang's poverty is not the people, but the government. The government does not support or encourage it, and it is impossible to achieve the goal of being well-off, so he and Zhang Yingde divide labor inside and outside. The secretary is responsible for asking for policies and funds from the superiors, and the county magistrate is responsible for promoting development and stabilizing the people's hearts in the county.
"Running and wanting" is actually an innovation in the thinking of Jiacang Zhengzhì. Yan Hengzhi not only ran by himself, but also encouraged all units to run, whether you use political means or private favors, as long as you can ask for policies and funds, you will be credited, Secretary Yan will give a one-time reward at the end of the year.
Propaganda Minister Yang Zejin quickly adapted to this new thinking, and he even began to complain about his father-in-law, Chen Bonian, for years of conformism. He took the initiative to ask for help. followed Secretary Yan to run around, in the words of the secretary, "Minister Yang is a living Jiacang!" β
Originally, Secretary Yan still had some concerns about this son-in-law who was "the widow of the previous dynasty", but one thing changed his opinion. At a Standing Committee meeting, Yan Hengzhi put forward the idea of "running and demanding", and after a while, there was silence.
"I know your concerns, you will think that what I said about 'running and demanding' is bureaucracy, and I will emphasize again that this is not the same as running for official positions, we are for economic development. For common prosperity! β
The county party committee, including the two deputy secretaries, did not speak. Zhang Yingde knew in his heart that these two words were easy to say, but too difficult to do. Now that the county's funds are tight, where can I run empty-handed? Where can I go without sticking the book first? Again. Can people give you the money so easily? Then why did the policy formulated by the superiors open this door to Jiacang? Don't "give up the child to find the wolf"!
"Secretary Yan, your idea is good, but it is difficult to implement, we are basically local cadres here, and we don't even want to stay for a few more days when we go to the region for a meeting, and now we want everyone to run outside with tasks......" Zhang Yingde, deputy secretary of the county party committee and county magistrate, shook his head.
"Yes. Secretary, don't talk about them, we don't want to go out more! Another deputy secretary of the county party committee continued. The others also nodded their heads and said yes, which was kind of an opinion.
"Secretary Yan, County Magistrate Zhang, Secretary Liu, colleagues," Yang Zejin, the youngest and youngest member of the Standing Committee, attracted everyone's attention, "Since I have done propaganda work, I have found a big problem, we often brag internally, but we have no confidence in external propaganda, why?" Because we are poor! But it's not that we don't have the material for propaganda, I have an immature idea, it's about propaganda work, we have been relying on radio, newspapers, slogans and other ways to carry out propaganda, and the object of propaganda is not ourselves? β
Yang Zejin looked at the secretary and the county magistrate, then at the others, and then continued: "In fact, how much grain do we produce, how much economic income do people have, and how much do they get rich?" We know it ourselves, so why bother with it? I think I'm kidding myself! The 'run and want' you just said is different from internal propaganda, that is, it requires capital, but do we have the capital......
Others shook their heads. Secretary Yan looked at Yang Zejin and motioned for him to continue. "We have! Aren't all businessmen nowadays printed with a business card? We also have our own business card, that is, 'red culture', we are the hometown of great men, great men are our business cards, the county from the end of the Qing Dynasty to the present, out of more than ten generals, there are five in the world, they are in the capital and the province! β
The Standing Committee members cheered up one after another, watching as this Standing Committee member, who does not speak much on weekdays, suddenly became the "main spokesman" today.
"They are older, but the influence must still be there, it is difficult to come back, but it is easy for us to visit! To report to them the situation in their hometown, so that they can pay attention to their hometown and support their hometown, this is also a kind of external propaganda! Of course, I'm talking about propaganda, and I'm also reporting my immature ideas to everyone......"
"Comrade Zejin's idea is very good, Comrade Feng Kai, if I remember correctly, your hometown and Feng Lao are in the same place, right?" Secretary Yan smiled and looked at the head of the organization. The secretary said that Feng Lao was a native of Qilong Township, Jiacang County, and is now one of the Central Advisory Committee.
Feng Kai, the head of the organization, nodded.
Secretary Yan continued: "That's easy to do!" Zejin said it well, we are not running and asking, we are publicity! The business card is just one - 'red', which includes not only the red footprints left by our great men and martyrs on this land, but also the red fruits that bear on our red soil......"
The meeting quickly decided on a "publicity" programme. Yan Hengzhi was responsible for the outreach work, and successively identified two "Revitalization of Red Jiacang Report Meeting" in the provincial capital and the capital; Yang Zejin was responsible for the preparation of promotional materials, including inviting provincial TV stations to shoot documentaries; Other members of the Standing Committee also used their own connections to build relationships between the central and provincial governments.
The local government committee and administration strongly supported the debriefing meeting, and the meeting was very successful. In particular, in the capital, the widows and children of great men paid close attention to the development of their hometowns, and more than 30 leaders at or above the provincial and ministerial level who had gone out from Bashan attended the meeting in the capital, at which many central ministries and commissions expressed their stance that they would support the development of the old revolutionary base areas. And the person who directly contacted and reported to the widow of the great man was our propaganda minister Yang Zejin.
The results of "running and asking" were fruitful, but Yan Hengzhi did not take credit for his pride, but very modestly divided half of the dozens of projects to be given to the prefectural committee, and the funds were only 30 percent of the total. "It's the policy that matters!" he said. β
After the last report meeting, Secretary Yan asked Yang Zejin: "Which place do you think is the poorest in Jiacang?" β
"Three 'bridges', Stone Bridge, Banqiao and Iron Bridge Sanxiang!"
"Stone bridge? Has the road just started in the most remote township? β
"...... right"
"We'll see ...... later" (To be continued.) )
