Peng Yuanzheng lit a cigarette and smoked face to face with Zhou Xishun, smiling, but secretly thinking about it in his heart.

Could it be that Zhou Xishun really wants to arrange himself as the head of Xin'an District? If so, how do I respond?

From the point of view of his heart, Peng Yuanzheng was reluctant to leave the neighboring county. In his overall plan, he had the ambition to completely change the poor and backward appearance of the neighboring county -- and now, the broken ship in the neighboring county has been repaired and has begun to sail away from anchor in the wind and waves.

However, as the secretary of the municipal party committee, if Zhou Xishun insists on transferring him to Xin'an District, he can only choose to obey when the "negotiations" are fruitless. Moreover, this in itself is a kind of reuse and promotion, and as a subordinate, he can't help but know how to lift.

After being silent for a moment, Zhou Xishun snuffed out the cigarette butt and smiled: "Comrade Yuanzheng, things at work will be discussed later." I have a preliminary idea, so I'll tell you about it first. ”

"Leader, please instruct!" Peng Yuanzheng replied with a smile.

Zhou Xishun smiled, "You may not know that three months ago, the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government made a planning idea for the establishment of Xin'an New District. After the city asked the province for instructions, the provincial leaders attached great importance to it and instructed us to form an operation plan as soon as possible and implement the operation. ”

"Originally, the city planned to divide part of Xin'an District, mainly in the surrounding area of Yunshui Town, to build a new area and a high-tech industrial development zone, the two into one, taking advantage of the country's reform and opening up, to achieve the city's economic center of gravity to the north."

"Recently, I've reworked it and think I can fine-tune this idea. In my opinion, part of Xin'an District should be divided and integrated with neighboring counties. Withdraw the county and set up districts, integrate various resources, concentrate the strength of the whole city, and plan to build a new political, economic, and commercial center circle in the north...... In the next step, the municipal party committee and municipal government will be relocated to the north. The eastern and southern areas will retain the heavy industry area and exist as an old town and industrial base. ”

Zhou Xishun's voice was not slow. Peng Yuanzheng was taken aback when he heard this.

This is an absolutely shocking development idea!

In other words, this is Zhou Xishun's personal idea that he has been thinking about for a long time but cannot be promoted because Dongfang Yan is in office - this kind of thinking directly builds Dongfang Yan into "a central urban area." The development model of the four strong economic zones and the three industrial counties going hand in hand was cut off and restarted.

Zhou Xishun glanced at Peng Yuanzheng and said lightly: "What do you think?" ”

Peng Yuanzheng let out a sigh of relief. Ning said: "Secretary Zhou, there is no doubt about the construction of a new urban area. The position of the municipal party committee and the municipal government is now, many heavy industry enterprises, whether it is the urban construction itself or the economic capacity, are close to saturation, if the city wants to achieve leapfrog development, we must jump out of the shackles of this box! From this point of view, I think Secretary Zhou's idea is very wise! It is also in line with the actual situation of Xin'an City. ”

Although he knew that Peng Yuanzheng was deliberately patting his ass, Zhou Xishun still felt very comfortable in his heart, and laughed: "I'm looking for you." Not to listen to flattery, but to listen to your opinions and suggestions. ”

"Secretary Zhou, the transfer of economic and political centers requires not only huge financial investment, but also time and process. At the same time, the county was withdrawn and districts were set up to integrate resources. It's not something that can be done in a while. And IMHO, even if the current neighboring counties are integrated into the Xin'an District, they are not qualified to carry the functions of the whole city center. ”

Peng Yuanzheng said his true opinion very tactfully. The first one is flattering, and the last few are really personal opinions. In a sense, he did not approve of Zhou Xishun's "grand plan" to suddenly move the city north.

Zhou Xishun raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Of course it takes time." I am optimistic about the development of the neighboring counties in the next few years, and I am also optimistic about the huge development potential of the northern region...... Let's put it this way. Comrade Yuanzheng, I can still work in Xin'an for at least five years, and we will strive to accomplish this within these five years, and it will be enough. ”

As soon as Peng Yuanzheng heard Zhou Xishun's words, he knew that he had made up his mind, considered it quite maturely, and it seemed that he must have been recognized by the province, otherwise he would not have "come out of nowhere".

As soon as he thought of this, Peng Yuanzheng said solemnly: "I understand, Secretary Zhou." If the leader has any instructions, just give them a direct order. ”

Zhou Xishun smiled loudly: "What I mean is this, on the one hand, we will make administrative planning, complete relevant procedures, and realize the expansion of neighboring counties by the end of the year; On the other hand, the withdrawal of counties and districts was initiated. The city set up a leading group for the work of withdrawing counties and establishing districts, with me personally serving as the leader, Comrade Meng Qiang serving as the executive deputy leader, and you serving as the deputy leader and director of the office of the leading group, specifically responsible for the work of withdrawing counties from neighboring counties and setting up districts! ”

Peng Yuanzheng answered the order, but at the same time sighed secretly. Since the counties will be withdrawn and set up as districts, then the matter of neighboring counties declaring state-level poverty-stricken counties can only be stopped. However, after the county is withdrawn and the district is established, it will be fully supported by the city's resources and financial funds, which is also a once-in-a-lifetime development opportunity for neighboring counties.

Moreover, once the neighboring counties are expanded, a part of Xin'an District, mainly Yunshui Town, will be merged into the neighboring counties, which will virtually push up the total economic output of the neighboring counties. If the expansion is completed by the end of the year, and the county's new projects are put into operation one after another, it will not be a problem for the neighboring counties to quadruple their fiscal revenues and gross national product in 1994.

"Okay, that's pretty much it. After you go back, make all preparations immediately, and I will arrange for the city to connect with you on the work. Zhou Xishun waved his hand, "I have a meeting later, you go back first!" ”

"Okay, Secretary Zhou, I'll go back and prepare. If you have anything, feel free to report to the leader! Peng Yuanzheng got up and said goodbye and left.

……

Next, Zhou Xishun raised the matter at the subsequent meeting of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. He is the new secretary of the municipal party committee, and he claims that the matter has received strong support from the province, and most of the other members of the Standing Committee voted in favor. In fact, the idea of building a new urban area has long been in the city, and Zhou Xishun has just expanded this idea a little bit and integrated some personal styles.

The news spread like this, causing a shock throughout the city. In particular, Yunshui Town and several other strong industrial and economic towns that will be merged into neighboring counties are even more controversial.

The city will move north, and the municipal party committee and municipal government will move to the future "Dalin County" - which means that the current central urban area of Xin'an District will become the "old city" and no longer exist as the political and economic hub of Xin'an City - and as a result, the historical status that has lasted for decades will be lost.

Su Yuhuan, the head of Xin'an District, was operating the position of secretary of the district party committee, and when he heard the news, his heart suddenly cooled and he became happy. If Xin'an District is no longer the central urban area, how can it be possible to reassign the secretary of the Standing Committee of the district party committee - even if he gains this position, the district after being cut off and abandoned in the future is actually not interesting.

On May 19, the Xin'an Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government jointly issued a document to establish a temporary organization of the "Xin'an City Withdrawal County and District Work Leading Group", headed by the mayor and secretary of the municipal party committee Zhou Xishun, the standing committee of the municipal party committee and the executive vice mayor as the executive deputy leader, and the deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee and the county magistrate of the neighboring county Peng Yuanzheng served as the deputy leader and director of the leading group office. The office of the leading group is located in a neighboring county.

Many people have noticed the title of "deputy secretary general of the municipal party committee" on Peng Yuanzheng's document, and while shocked, they inevitably have some emotion: The youngest county and department-level substantive cadre in this city has once again bravely shouldered heavy burdens -- and the subtext of this kind of courage to shoulder heavy burdens is promotion!

Prior to this document, the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee issued an appointment document, appointing Peng Yuanzheng as the deputy secretary general of the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee, but he was not in charge of any work. That's a false job.

Although the deputy secretary general of the municipal party committee is also a department-level position, his position is very crucial, and he is almost equivalent to one of the "spokesmen" of the high-level power hub of the municipal party committee.

On the surface, Peng Yuanzheng hung up this title to facilitate his work, but looking at it at a deeper level, it is enough to show that he has the qualifications and strength to sit on an equal footing with the secretaries of the district and county party committees.

At the same time, who can also understand that in the future, once the operation of "Dalin County" is completed and the county is successfully withdrawn and districts are established, Peng Yuanzheng will serve as the secretary of the district party committee in the core urban area of Xin'an City, and it is even possible to go further and concurrently serve as a member of the Standing Committee of the municipal party committee, directly crossing the threshold of the deputy department level.

As soon as Zhou Xishun came to power, Peng Yuanzheng was reused, and directly branded Peng Yuanzheng with the invisible label of Zhou faction. This is the result that Peng Yuanzheng is unwilling to see but has no choice but can not do.

What you gain is what you lose, that's basically it.

……

When the news reached Yunshui Town, Xin'an District, Li Xueyan, secretary of the town party committee, Jia Liang, mayor of the town, and other members of the town team were smiling, and the town also held a low-key "celebration meeting" for this purpose. For Yunshui Town, it is not a good idea to be included in a neighboring county, but its future as part of the core new urban area is a historic change.

Of course, from the perspective of personal feelings, Peng Yuanzheng is the old leader of the town, and these cadres in the town are his former subordinates, and they are happy and relieved to continue to follow Peng Yuanzheng.

Mayor Jia Liang hurriedly pushed the door of the office door of Li Xueyan, secretary of the town party committee, and said with a smile: "Secretary Li, should we go to visit our old leaders together?" ”

"Don't do it yet, this work has not yet been carried out in the city, and we, as the grassroots, should keep a low profile." Li Xueyan smiled lightly and shook her head, "So as not to let people talk nonsense behind their backs!" ”

"What are you afraid of? Secretary Li, the city's red-headed documents are placed here, the provincial approval will come down immediately, and the Civil Affairs Bureau is making the final regional approval -- in a few months, we will be Yunshui Town in a neighboring county. Jia Liang smiled disappreciatively: "I haven't seen the old leader for a long time, let's go to the neighboring county." ”

Li Xueyan hesitated, her eyes flickered, and she said softly: "Okay, let's go for a trip, and I'll call County Magistrate Peng in a while to ask if the leader is free." (To be continued)
