Chapter 617: Flood Control or Drought Relief?

In the middle of May, the sun is still shining on the green hills, and the sky is clear, and there is no sign of rain. Ice @ Fire! The water level of Qingshan Lake in Chinese has dropped significantly compared with the same period last year, and the districts and towns of Yunhu County, which are not adjacent to the Great Lake, have begun to experience drought.

When Fan Hongyu returned from the province, he immediately convened an executive meeting of the county government.

Present at the executive meeting were seven county magistrates, six deputies and seven county magistrates, Chen Xia, director of the county government office, director of the county planning commission, director of the finance bureau, director of the office of the county flood control and drought control headquarters, director of the county water conservancy bureau, and other responsible cadres of relevant departments.

The meeting was held in a small conference room in the government office building.

Completely new conference room setup, rectangular mahogany conference table, light and light, with a few pots of evergreen plants in the middle, the young county magistrate Fan sat in the chairman's position. He was tall, with a straight back and a bit condescending, overlooking the majesty of the audience.

"Comrades, there are two themes for today's meeting. The first topic is the comprehensive arrangement of flood prevention work. ”

Fan Hongyu's blazing gaze swept over the faces of the cadres present one by one, and said slowly.

The participating cadres couldn't help but look at each other, and a look of surprise flashed on their faces.

Look out the window, the sun has dried up the flowers and plants in the yard, and the dry people can't hold off the slightest bit of energy, and half of the county's three towns and eight districts have reported the drought situation, but the county magistrate Fan is here to talk about the comprehensive arrangements for flood control work.

Is it going in the wrong direction?

Fan Hongyu ignored everyone's surprise. As long as it is a major issue, Fan Hongyu is always very determined, and he is easily not affected by others.

"Hehe, before studying this topic, I would like to inform the comrades of the good news that our special flood prevention funds are in place. The city allocated 370,000 yuan, and the province allocated another 920,000 yuan to us. In addition to the balance payment, there are now more than 1.34 million yuan in the county's special account for flood control and drought relief, which has finally solved our urgent need. ”

Hearing the news, the cadres present were immediately pleasantly surprised.

"County Magistrate Fan, the province has specially allocated 920,000 yuan to us?"

Qi Zhenghong, the executive deputy county magistrate who was sitting in the first position on Fan Hongyu's left, couldn't help but ask, his face a little surprised. The executive deputy county magistrate is also in charge of finance, why didn't the Finance Bureau report to him on such a big matter?

Fan Hongyu smiled and nodded. said: "Well, the day before yesterday, I went to the province and made a special trip to complain to Governor You, and finally got such a little extra money." ”

There was an immediate burst of laughter in the conference room.

This secretary of the governor is different, not only can he meet the governor at any time. You can also fight the autumn breeze of the governor and make extra money!

Fan Hongyu didn't care about letting everyone know his special status in front of Governor You, he was originally released by the first secretary of the provincial government, and he had some incense with his old superiors, so he should have been. It would be strange if you couldn't even get in at the door of the governor's office as soon as you left the provincial capital.

Secretary Fan is not so defeated.

Fan Hongyu knew it in his heart. At the grassroots level, it is necessary to remind everyone from time to time that he used to be the first secretary of the provincial government. After all, the grassroots level is no bigger than the provincial organs, and everyone speaks and acts. It's all bends and turns, and the clouds and mountains are covered with fog. There is a time when it is better to play a big brand directly and suppress people. It's just about matching your own abilities. You can't just rely on big brands.

"Haha, yes, yes. This is finally a little more economical...... Now I'm asking for money everywhere......"

Qi Zhenghong also smiled and nodded again and again.

Financial constraints, he, the executive deputy county magistrate, is not so prestigious, some reports asking for money, Qi Zhenghong approved, and the cadres below ran to the Finance Bureau with the approval slips, but they were splashed down by a basin of cold water, and it was cold from head to foot.

No money!

These are the two words that the Financial Secretary says most often.

If the cadres below say a few more mushrooms, the director of the finance bureau will be very impatient, and he can't help but complain, muttering to the county leaders: Just knowing the approval slips, the finance bureau is not a banknote printing factory, and it can't print banknotes.

"It should be stated here that the special funds for flood prevention and drought relief can only be earmarked, and cannot be used to fill holes as in the past. We are counting on this money to fill the big holes in the flood control levee. Director Zhao, from now on, the use of special funds for flood prevention and drought relief, no matter how much, must be signed by me. Without my autograph, not a penny is allowed to be moved. ”

Fan Hongyu said, looking at Zhao Jie, director of the Finance Bureau, who was sitting not far away, with a serious expression.

"Okay, County Magistrate Fan, the Finance Bureau will resolutely implement County Magistrate Fan's instructions!"

Zhao Jie hurriedly straightened his waist and replied respectfully, his expression was very serious. Zhao Jie is in his forties and is also a local cadre, but he was promoted after Lu Jiu became the magistrate of Yunhu County, and theoretically, everyone put Zhao Jie into Lu Jiu's "camp".

The Finance Bureau has always been a "battleground for soldiers", and the director of the Finance Bureau is either a close confidant of the secretary or a confidant of the county magistrate. If the secretary or the county magistrate are replaced, basically the chief of the finance bureau will also be replaced.

However, the Finance Bureau belongs to the government jurisdiction, and Zhao Jie has Lu Jiu's favor again, and he has to be respectful to the county magistrate at the meeting.

Although Fan Hongyu has been in office for less than two months, the methods he has put forward are extraordinary. Even a county-level leader with old qualifications like Xie Houming was deflated in his hands, and he was robbed of his part-time job as secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, and it is said that even Lu Jiu was eaten and hung up.

In the face of such a bull, Zhao Jie'an has to be cautious?

Qi Zhenghong's eyes suddenly flashed with a thick look of displeasure.

Fan Hongyu deliberately proposed this article, aimed at him Qi Zhenghong. In the entire county government, the only ones with financial power are the county magistrate and the executive deputy county magistrate, and other deputy county magistrates can also approve the slip, but they must be reviewed and confirmed by Fan Hongyu and Qi Zhenghong. Of course, the executive deputy county magistrate only has relative financial power, and more than a certain amount, it must be approved by the county magistrate.

It's just that Fan Hongyu solemnly brought it up, which made Qi Zhenghong's face a little unbearable.

Facing Qi Zhenghong's displeasure, Fan Hongyu ignored it.

Second Brother Fan is this kind of character, his own one acre and three points don't count, is it still Second Brother Fan?

No matter how old Qi Zhenghong's qualifications are, he still has to be the deputy of County Magistrate Fan.

"The funds are in place, and the main embankment is about to be renovated. This matter cannot be delayed any longer. Today is May 13, and more than 30 kilometers of flood control embankments need to be fully renovated and reinforced, distributed in several districts and towns, and all the renovation and reinforcement work must be completed within 20 days. In this way, it can barely catch up with this year's summer flood. ”

Fan Hongyu raised his hand, waved it lightly, and said in an unquestionable tone.

"This is the most important task of our county government at present, and in order to ensure that the renovation and reinforcement project of the flood control embankment can be completed in early June, I now want several comrades here to divide up the work and implement this responsibility system. At that time, the county will still have to organize acceptance, and the district and town project renovation and reinforcement project will fail to pass the acceptance, and the county leaders and district and town leaders who are responsible for squatting and supervising will all be criticized. If the work is done badly, then I will say that no matter who it is, it will be punished. ”

As he spoke, Fan Hongyu's eyes slowly swept over the faces of several deputy county magistrates, with a serious expression.

"Here, I'll register myself first, and I'll be in charge of the Ten Plains District. Shiyuan and Chaoyang Farm are next to each other, and I have to go to see both sides and supervise it, which is more convenient. ”

Fan Hongyu's eyes fell on Qi Zhenghong's face.

The county magistrate has taken the lead in signing up to "contract" Shiyuan District, and it is time for Qi Zhenghong, the executive deputy county magistrate, to express his position.

Qi Zhenghong frowned slightly, and said: "County Magistrate Fan, judging from the current situation, it seems that the drought control work is more important than the flood control work. I have checked the information, and the water level of Qingshan Lake this year has dropped by more than two meters compared with the same period last year. Since mid-April, there has been almost no rain...... Shouldn't we start by looking at drought fighting? At present, it is very difficult to use water for irrigation, and water for domestic use is gradually tight. ”

Several other deputy county magistrates couldn't help but nod, seemingly agreeing with Qi Zhenghong's speech.

The sun is old and poisonous, and there is already a drought in several districts to the north, but the county magistrate Fan is talking about the importance of flood prevention work here, which makes people feel a little awkward in their hearts. You know you're young and maverick, but work is work, and you can't just joke about it.

In response to Qi Zhenghong's speech, Fan Hongyu was noncommittal, turned to Wei Qingping, the deputy county magistrate in charge of flood control and drought control, and said indifferently: "County magistrate Wei, what is your opinion?" ”

Wei Qingping is also in his forties, which is basically the same age as Qi Zhenghong.

The members of the Yunhu County Government team are generally over 40 years old, but Fan Hongyu is the only one who is outrageously young, and every time he holds an executive meeting of the government or the office meeting of the county magistrate, it makes people have a very strange feeling of incongruity.

However, Wei Qingping's personality is far less strong than Qi Zhenghong, and when he saw Fan Hongyu open his mouth to inquire in detail, a gentle smile first appeared on his face, and he said: "County Magistrate Fan, flood control work has always been a major event, especially if we are a county in the Lake District, it is even more important. Most of the county's 46 kilometers of flood control embankments have fallen into disrepair, and now that they have funds, they should indeed be repaired...... However, there has been a drought in several districts and towns in the north this year, and the report of Dafang and Shiquan has been sent, and I have seen that the drought is still relatively serious. Now is an important period for early rice heading, if there is a large-scale drought, it will seriously affect this year's summer grain harvest, and we have to pay attention to it......"

As he spoke, he observed Qi Zhenghong's face with the peripheral vision of his eyes.

If you say this, you don't say it, and neither side will be offended.

Sandwiched between a strong county magistrate and an equally strong executive deputy county magistrate, Wei Qingping is really difficult to do, so he can only be so ambiguous. Of course, if the two jobs can go hand in hand, it is the best, and it will save the county magistrate Wei from difficulties.
