Chapter 299: A New Official Takes Office

readx; “…… Huazhou is bordered by Pingnan of Fujian Province in the south, Jingdezhen of Xijiang River in the west, and Huangshan Mountain in the north, and is the central city on the edge of the three provinces. The pen and the fun and the pavilion www.biquge.info live in the upper reaches of the river, control the elbow and armpit of Poyang, control the throat of Fujian and Yue, and the momentum of the propaganda and the land of Sichuan and the four provinces, and it is the place where the soldiers of all dynasties must fight. ”

On the highway, a black Audi sedan is driving smoothly. In the car, Minister Zhang of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee was talking eloquently, introducing the city more than 100 kilometers away, although he deliberately avoided the experience of serving in Huazhou, but still inadvertently revealed a sense of nostalgia.

In the words of Wang Ronghai, deputy political commissar of the Air Force, Tian Wenjian's greatest strength lies in his willingness to study. There is no doubt that he also did a little homework when he came here, not only under the guise of research, but also looked at the economic data of Huazhou City in the past few years, and even went to the Huazhou Municipal Office in Beijing to buy a copy of Huazhou Local Chronicles, and studied it for three days behind closed doors.

The geological structure belongs to the southern side of the Jiangnan paleocontinent and the northern margin of the Huaxia paleocontinent, that is, it spans two first-class tectonic units, and the central part is the Linjiang sag zone. The general topography is characterized by high in the south and north, low in the middle, high in the west and low in the east. 15% of the territory is plain, 36% is hilly, and 49% is mountainous. The north is the Wanligang Mountains, the west is the Huaiyu Mountains, and the south is the largest Xixialing Mountains in the city...... It is 127.5 kilometers wide from east to west and 140.25 kilometers long from north to south, with a total area of square kilometers, including plain square kilometers, hills square kilometers, and mountainous square kilometers. The total population at the end of 2003 was 2,126,000...... Such information and data, Tian Wenjian is backwards.

But in any case, it is also on paper, how can he have successively served as the magistrate of Linshui County, the secretary of the county party committee, the commissioner of the Huazhou Prefectural Party Committee, the secretary of the prefectural party committee, and the first secretary of the municipal party committee after the withdrawal of the land and the establishment of the city. Because of this, Tian Wenjian listened with relish, and took out his notebook to record something from time to time, even unaware that he had arrived at his destination.

"Oda, the old city gate in front of it is very well preserved. As a national-level historical and cultural city, Huazhou, an important town in the south of the Yangtze River with a history of 1,800 years, deserves its name! ”

Tian Wenjian came back to his senses and hurriedly looked out the window, because of a heavy rain in the morning, the blue sky was exceptionally clean, a few white clouds were floating in the distance, a round of red was dancing in the east, and the beautiful Linjiang was like a silver ribbon, winding in the mountains and wilderness.

The old city gate is tall and majestic, and even the surrounding moat still exists, which is not only the cultural background of Huazhou, but also a witness of history. Tian Wenjian was shocked by the scenery in front of him, and couldn't help sighing: "It's better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles. ”

The water pavilion is the name of the street inside the gate, and it may be the snow pavilion outside the city gate, which is often flooded by the water, and is pretended to be the water pavilion. This allusion is not known to many people in Huazhou now, but they didn't expect Tian Wenjian, who had never been there, to blurt it out, which made Minister Zhang very surprised, and couldn't help but smile and asked: "Secretary Xiaotian, it seems that you have really put in a lot of effort." In that case, I would like to test you, how old is this wall? ”

Tian Wenjian pondered for a moment, shook his head again and again, and said: "When the currently preserved city wall was built, there is no clear record in the historical records. Minister Zhang, aren't you embarrassed for me? ”

As he said, although the more unified theory is that the brick and stone city wall was officially built after the Tang Dynasty, there is no historical record, and it is difficult to determine when the old city wall was built.

Minister Zhang nodded with satisfaction, and while signaling the driver to drive faster, he said with emotion: "It doesn't matter when it was founded, the important thing is that it is a unique cultural landscape left to us by our ancestors for generations, a microcosm of Huazhou, and a witness of Huazhou's profound cultural heritage." ”

After so many years of ups and downs, it is by no means an easy task for the old city wall to be so well preserved. It can be seen from this that he wants to open up the situation in a short period of time in Huazhou, which is the best in tradition.

It was already 4 o'clock in the afternoon when I arrived at the Huazhou City CPC Committee, and Chen Changrong, secretary of the CPC Municipal CPC Committee, presided over a meeting of the Standing Committee. At the Standing Committee, Minister Zhang read out the decision of the provincial party committee, and Tian Wenjian also made a brief speech. Next, a group of Standing Committee members expressed their support for the decision of the Provincial Party Committee, and the atmosphere of the meeting was extremely harmonious. After the meeting, Secretary Chen hosted a banquet at the Municipal Party Committee Guest House to entertain Minister Zhang and Tian Wenjian.

The arrival of the old leaders made the leaders of the four sets of teams excited, and they all behaved very personable at the wine table, and the compliments were endless, and the so-called comradely friendship was probably like this.

Although the smiles of the Standing Committee members present were bright, only Duan Guicheng, secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, had the most sincere smile, which made Tian Wenjian feel very cordial. And other people's smiles, in his opinion, all have a certain meaning that can only be understood and cannot be spoken, and when dealing with characters at this level, it is natural to be cautious, otherwise they will be sold and may be kept in the dark.

There are a total of 11 members in the Standing Committee of Huazhou City, in addition to Tian Wenjian, who has just taken office, they are Chen Changrong, secretary of the municipal party committee, Gu Jingbin, mayor, Ma Dongsheng, deputy secretary, Han Bai, executive vice mayor, Chen Changyi, director of the organization department, Li Shaohui, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, Yin Xiaofen, director of the propaganda department, Chang Yungui, director of the United Front Work Department, Lu Haitao, secretary general of the municipal party committee, and Xiang Dongdong, commander of the military division. Except for Xiang Southeast, all other members of the Standing Committee were present.

It stands to reason that at a reception banquet of this level, most of the drinking is ordered, and no one deliberately advises them to drink. But it was not an outsider who sent Tian Wenjian to office, but Zhang Mengzhong, the most respected old secretary of Huazhou cadres, and this wine was endless. Minister Zhang's amount of alcohol seems to be very good, and he does not refuse to toast everyone, and he does not feel a little drunk at all after a few large glasses.

Tian Jiao...... Secretary Tian, I still said at the meeting, the Huazhou Municipal Party Committee will fully support the work of Linshui, if anyone does not listen to the call, what to do, don't be unable to pull down. ”

Although Chen Changrong, secretary of the municipal party committee, is not tall, his voice is extremely loud, and he has an irresistible majesty when he speaks.

Do you really think you are the master of who bites whom? Tian Wenjian was made ridiculous, and hurriedly smiled: "Thank you, thank you Secretary Chen for your concern." ”

Chen Changrong's implication is very clear, that is, you can toss as much as you want in the water, but you had better leave the affairs of Huazhou alone. Although he is a confidant and favorite general cultivated by himself, Minister Zhang is still a little unhappy, after all, Tian Wenjian is also a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee appointed by the Provincial Party Committee, and he is also a cadre from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, how can he turn people away like this?

What's more, Tian Wenjian's coming to Linhai was not as simple as a temporary post, and the entire pilot process had to be reported to the central authorities, but it involved institutional issues, and his real purpose was only to report to the provincial level.

Thinking of this, Zhang Mengzhong coughed twice, and while looking around at everyone, he said lightly: "Ladies and gentlemen, Comrade Tian Wenjian is the youngest part-time professor of the Central Party School, the youngest Changjiang scholar of the Ministry of Education, and also a long-tested party member cadre.

He has resisted floods, made meritorious contributions, and even while studying abroad, he was able to unremittingly fight against the [***] cultists who fled to the United States. He has a deep theoretical foundation and a high level of political consciousness, which is worth learning from all of us. Comrade Han Bai, who has participated in the training of cadres at the department and bureau level of the Central Party School, should be deeply touched by this. ”

Han Bai, deputy mayor of the Standing Committee, hurriedly stood up, nodded and said, "Yes, Secretary Tian's speech at the Central Party School is very profound. Please rest assured that we will definitely take Secretary Tian as an example, straighten out our thinking, strengthen our sense of crisis, establish a correct view of power and honor and disgrace, and earnestly fulfill the requirements of the general secretary to build the party for the public and govern for the people. ”

"Secretary Tian, I have read your work several times, and I am very touched. I never thought I would have the opportunity to work with you, it's an honor and an honor for me. Secretary Ma Dongsheng actually took out a copy of "Professor Tian's Quotations" from his briefcase, with a sincere expression.

The higher you hold it, the heavier it falls, Tian Wenjian doesn't think this is a good thing, he shook his head again and again and said: "Let everyone laugh, say something from your heart, it's one thing to say it, but whether you can do it is another thing." Wen Jian is new to the school, and I hope that you can care more and help me more, so that I can take a little less detours. ”

Although Tian Wenjian is alone and has no foundation in Huazhou, he is not worried that they will hug in front of the stage and kick behind the scenes, after all, he blows the horn through the crack in the door, and he has a reputation for working in the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection for nearly a year.

"Secretary Tian is humble."

Mayor Gu Jingbin stood up, poured wine for him while taking the wine bottle from the waiter's hand, and said with a smile: "Vice Mayor Han is right, you can come to work in Huazhou, which is the honor of our Huazhou people." When I went to inspect the Normal College yesterday, Dean Ding also mentioned you to me, saying that when you take office, you will definitely be hired as an adjunct professor.

This is the ardent hope of the city's education system, Secretary Tian, as a member of the Standing Committee of the Huazhou Municipal Party Committee and deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, I hope you will not refuse. ”

As long as Tian Wenjian agrees, the Linhai Institute of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Huazhou Medical College, and Linhai University of Economics and Business, which are also in Huazhou, will undoubtedly rush to him and rush to invite him to be an adjunct professor. After all, there are few well-known scholars like Tian Wenjian in the whole province.

His mind is spent on teaching, which means that he has no time and energy to make trouble for himself, and he has no way to refuse such a request, Secretary Chen reacted, and immediately laughed and said: "Secretary Tian, I have watched your lecture video, and I have also watched your "Danger in the Prosperous Age", the level is very high, and he is worthy of being a distinguished professor of Changjiang Scholars." With your example, our education in Huazhou will definitely be able to reach a higher level. ”

It's not a fuel-efficient lamp, but to come up with such a scheme, Professor Tian Da sighed secretly, and said helplessly: "It's hard to be gracious, it seems that I can only obey my fate." ”

"Look at what you said, we don't have the qualifications to talk about it."

Chen Changyi, the head of the organization, interjected, held a wine glass, and said with a smile: "Our family's uncompetitive rabbit cub is in the Normal College, I want to take the opportunity to go through the back door and ask you to be his mentor, I don't know if Secretary Tian will give this face?" ”

Without waiting for Tian Wenjian to speak, Minister Zhang laughed and said, "Okay, you Chen Changyi, you actually started Secretary Xiaotian's idea." But what you said reminded me that our family Zhang Hao is also going to graduate school, and it seems that he has to find a good teacher. ”

Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, this head is out of control, and before the meal is finished, Tian Wenjian has become the nominal teacher of more than a dozen second-generation officials. This is not a compliment, you must know that although Professor Tian University is controversial, no one can deny his academic achievements, and even his recommendation letters carry more weight than those expert professors of Tsinghua University and Peking University.

With this little episode, the atmosphere of the dinner party suddenly livened up, and the meal was not over until 8 o'clock in the evening. Just sent away Minister Zhang of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, Director of the Office of the Municipal Party Committee and Director of the Reception Director Li came over and said respectfully: "Secretary Tian, your room has been arranged, it is next door to Mayor Gu, standing in front of the window and you can see Linjiang, you see what else you need, I will solve it as soon as possible." ”

"yes, we can have a good chat." Gu Jingbin turned his head with an enthusiastic expression.

Tian Wenjian pondered for a moment, shook his head and smiled: "Secretary Chen, Mayor Gu, my main job is still in Linshui, and I don't feel solid if I don't go to see it." ”

Chen Changrong was stunned for a moment, then pointed to the moonlit and starry night sky, and said with a smile: "What time is it now, it's not too late to go early tomorrow morning, stay here today, and I will personally send you to office tomorrow." ”

"The work in the city is so busy, how can I let you deliver it yourself? Secretary Chen, this is not necessary, I will set off now, anyway, it is not far away. ”

Seeing that Tian Wenjian had made up his mind, Chen Changrong no longer insisted, immediately turned around, and said very seriously: "Director Li, you send Secretary Tian, drive slowly on the road, you must pay attention to safety." ”

Without waiting for Director Li to speak, Duan Guicheng, secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, who had been silent, turned around, pointed to the No. 8 car outside the banquet hall, and said with a smile: "Secretary Chen, let's take a trip, anyway, I'm going to Linshui tomorrow, just by the way." ”

Tian Wenjian is a cadre from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and there is no more suitable than Duan Guicheng, secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, Chen Changrong nodded slightly, and said casually: "Okay, I wish you all a smooth journey." ”

This does not mean that he does not attach importance to Tian Wenjian, secretary of the Linshui Municipal Party Committee, but because he is a member of the Standing Committee of the Huazhou Municipal Party Committee and deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and is a provincial cadre who does not need to be reappointed by the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee.

Duan Guicheng is relatively young among the Standing Committee members, he is the same age as Mayor Gu, both in their forties. It's just that from the outside, he looks younger. may be because he is engaged in discipline inspection and supervision work, he is always attached to the deputy company, and his eyebrows are extremely heavy, which makes his expression look a little gloomy, even if there is a faint smile on his face, it will give people a chilling feeling.

He sat very quietly on Tian Wenjian's right side, very low-key, and rarely spoke, but from just a few words, Tian Wenjian had already judged that this person was hiding needles, and he was very high, and he was also an extremely powerful character.

"Mayor Zhou, they are waiting for us at the city hotel, it looks like we have to have dinner again."

Tian Wenjian was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and said angrily: "Welcome and send, eat and drink, it's almost a wine bag and a rice bag." In my opinion, eating and drinking with public funds is also a kind of [***], although the money did not fall into the pocket in the end, but it greatly hurt the feelings of the people, and it is especially worthy of attention, and the punishment should be increased from the sentencing and other aspects. ”

Duan Guicheng pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said with a smile: "It seems that the future of the Linshui cadres will not be as good as before. ”

"You have so much faith in me?" Tian Wenjian smiled and couldn't help asking.

"Do people like you still need to be gilded? I don't think it's as simple as a deputy department-level Beijing official to become the secretary of the municipal party committee of a county-level city. ”

After Duan Guicheng paused, he continued: "If you need anything, just ask, I can tell you responsibly that the Huazhou Commission for Discipline Inspection is by no means a decoration. ”

Duan Guicheng spoke authentic Mandarin, not the extremely difficult Linxing dialect, which made Tian Wenjian realize that the person around him was a foreign monk like himself.

It's a pity that Tian Wenjian is no longer the stunned young man he was when he was the acting county magistrate of Hulin County, not to mention that this opportunity was not easy to come by, he didn't want to get involved in the political struggle in the city, let alone be used as a gun. Duan Guicheng was obviously not interested in these topics, and after a few perfunctory words unhurriedly, he narrowed his eyes and made a gesture of closing his eyes and recuperating.

Although Tian Wenjian didn't say anything, it doesn't mean that he didn't know about his arrival, breaking the "ecological balance" of Huazhou officialdom. Not to mention that as a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, he has a decisive vote on the Standing Committee, and he has also made it impossible for a large number of Linshui cadres to be promoted as they wish.

For him now, the first thing is to gain a firm foothold and gain the support of 480,000 people in Linshui, and then he can make a difference. At the same time, you can't use the radical way of anti-[***], after all, everyone has been offended, and he, the secretary of the municipal party committee, is basically the end of it.

It was already ten o'clock in the evening when I arrived at Linshui, the lights in the municipal axe compound of the municipal party committee where the office was co-located, and the car had just stopped, Zhou Yi and other leaders of the municipal party committee greeted him, and while pulling the car door, he greeted him enthusiastically: "Zhou Yi, a student of the seventh phase of Zhongpu, warmly welcome the arrival of Professor Tian!" ”

The just-concluded rotation training of county-level cadres has made it difficult for more than 5,000 county officials across the country to know Professor Tian Da. Zhou Yi's words made Tian Wenjian cry and laugh, and while holding his hand, he shook his head and smiled: "There must be my teacher in the threesome, Mayor Zhou, do you have a grudge and want me to call you Teacher Zhou?" ”

"Secretary Tian, you were my teacher three months ago, and now you are my leader, even if you lend me a few guts, I don't dare!"

Zhou Yi patted his hand, then turned around and greeted with a smile: "Hello Secretary Duan, welcome Secretary Duan to our city to inspect the work." ”

Duan Guicheng looked around at everyone, held on to the car door, and said with a smile: "Since you have known each other for a long time, you don't need me to introduce you." I drank a little too much with Minister Zhang in the evening, I will go to the hotel to rest first, and Secretary Tian will hand it over to you. ”

Seeing that Duan Guicheng was leaving, Yu Minsheng, director of the Standing Committee of the Municipal People's Congress, hurriedly stepped forward, pointed to the guest house of the Municipal Party Committee not far away, and said with a smile: "Secretary Duan, we are all ready, Secretary Tian's reception banquet is not possible without you, the city leader." ”

"Yes, yes, you can't come a few times a year, so you have to let us do our landlord's friendship." Mayor Zhou nodded heavily, with a deeply approving expression.

Duan Guicheng stared at Tian Wenjian's eyes and asked with a smile: "Secretary Tian, what do you see?" ”

The problem lies in the "friendship of landlords", since Tian Wenjian is here, then he is the leader of Linshui, and it is not Zhou Yi's turn to do what landlord friendship.

Tian Wenjian couldn't hear the meaning of his words, and he didn't want to watch them extravagant and wasteful, so he turned around and looked around at everyone, and said lightly: "Some people say that people who don't smoke or drink are the most selfish and can't get along, and they also said that Du Yuesheng said it." I don't think it's useful for anyone to say it, there are two kinds of people who are most selfish now, one is the person who smokes in public regardless of other people's feelings, and the other is the person who forcibly persuades others to drink at the wine table. I appreciate everyone's kindness, and I will personally treat you when I have time one day. It's not too early, let's go back and rest, and we'll talk about it tomorrow. ”

Sure enough, he is as his name suggests, he doesn't give any face, Zhou Yi, who has participated in the rotation training of county-level cadres, is better, and the others are very uncomfortable, they are stunned one by one, and they can't speak for a long time.

"Secretary Tian is tired of saddle horses, I really need to rest, everyone should disperse." Zhou Yi pondered for a moment, then turned around and said with a smile: "Secretary Duan, Secretary Tian, I'll send you two." ”

To everyone's surprise, Tian Wenjian actually smiled, pointed to Duan Guicheng's car, and said with a spring breeze on his face: "Let's go, let's go to the guest house to have a good chat." ”

The guest house is not far from the municipal party committee, is a tree-lined building complex, close to the water park, after settling Duan Guicheng, Tian Wenjian, accompanied by Zhou Yi and director Wang of the municipal party committee office, came to the third building where he stayed.

In addition to the computer and TV, next to the water spray fish tank in the corner of the living room, there are also high-end fitness equipment, he slowly walked to the bathtub, reached out and fished out a small goldfish that was jumping around, and gently threw it on the water, looking at the goldfish shaking his head and tail to the bottom of the water, he smiled and nodded: "Mayor Zhou, Director Wang, I have caused you trouble." ”

"Secretary Tian, look at what you said, it's my job to serve you, what's the trouble or not?" Without waiting for Zhou Yi to speak, Director Wang, who was checking whether there was hot water in the bathroom, poked his head out and smiled.

Tian Wenjian nodded noncommittally, and while beckoning Zhou Yi to sit on the sofa, he said with a smile: "Mayor Zhou, I'm really embarrassed about what happened just now, I'm not right about things, don't take it to heart." ”

Zhou Yi shook his head and said meaningfully, "How come? If they've been on a rotation, they'll know you're being polite today. To tell you the truth, this crooked wind of eating and drinking is about to brake hard. ”

"I'm glad that you can think so, but this kind of dialogue ends here, from now on we will be comrades-in-arms in the same team, I will do what I say, and I will never separate the party and the government, let alone replace the government with the party."

Tian Wenjian said these words during the rotation training, but Zhou Yi at that time laughed it off, after all, the party committee is the decision-maker, the political axe is the executor, and it is not easy to achieve the real separation of the party and the government? And at this moment, Tian Wenjian said very sincerely, and he was like the strong judge just now.

Although he grabbed his position, as a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, it was not easy to say such things. After all, one is a deputy department-level city leader, and the other is a county-level mayor at the department level, although there is only half a level difference, but there is a world of difference in power between the two.

(To be continued)
