Pang Weidong didn't expect Li Xiaoning to actually speak to him, and he was obviously stunned when he heard Li Xiaoning's words, but then reacted, and said in a slow tone: "Deputy Mayor Li is right. Our party represents the most fundamental interests of the broad masses of the people. The above has also repeatedly asked us to do practical and good things for the people. What is a practical thing and what is a good thing? I think it's the thing that gets the most out of it. We can't let the people of Pingshan go down the mud road for generations. From a small point of view, we must think about the future development of Pingshan Town and the people of Pingshan Town to live a good life in the future. From a big point of view, it is also necessary to adapt to the overall development of the country. Therefore, I think that no matter how difficult it is, we must let everyone grit their teeth and collect the funds raised to build a broad road. ”

Li Xiaoning said: "I am absolutely in favor of building roads. But I don't think it's enough to let the people raise funds. Pingshan Town is the poorest town in the whole Binhai City, and the people of Pingshan Town are also the poorest people in the whole Binhai City. I looked at the information, and now there are a total of 1,462 households in the town, of which more than 1,330 have not yet been lifted out of poverty, and only more than 100 households have solved the problem of food and clothing. There is not a single household that meets the standard of being well-off. Building roads is a good thing, but we must not do bad things with good intentions and make decisions on the common people. If you make up your mind on the people, they won't be able to live. That's going to be a problem. ”

Pang Weidong's horse face immediately sank again, and he said impatiently: "Deputy Mayor Li is not a member of the party group yet, and he is just attending today, so don't speak." You are also not eligible to vote. What do you think? ”

Li Xiaoning was very depressed, but what Pang Weidong said was also true, he was indeed not a member of the party group, and he was not qualified to speak at the party committee, so he had to shut up depressedly.

The other committee members did not immediately express their opinions, and their eyes invariably looked at Zhang Erwa. As a native local cadre, Zhang Erwa understood the situation in Pingshan Town more deeply than Li Xiaoning, and he was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Building roads is a good thing, of course I am in favor of it." However, the situation in Pingshan Town is also relatively special, and the farmers can't have enough to eat, let alone let them raise funds to build roads. My opinion is that it is better to apply for some funding from above, even if it is to level the road first. ”

With Zhang Erwa's words as a guiding direction, the other committee members immediately rushed to speak. Their opinions are also very unanimous, and it is not realistic at all to approve of road construction and raise funds from the peasants. Zhang Guangming, deputy secretary of the party committee, said more directly: "This road repair is the same as eating, you have to see how big your stomach is, and if you can't see something delicious, you have to eat, otherwise you will be supported." We must not be happy with our achievements, only want our personal achievements, and miss the major events of the people of Pingshan Town. ”

Only Deputy Mayor He Dongliang agreed with Pang Weidong's opinion, saying: "Everyone's vision should be a little longer-term, not just the present. If you don't make up your mind to build a beautiful asphalt road, just smooth the road surface, it won't be long before it will be restored to its original state, but it will be a repeat investment. I agree with Secretary Pang's opinion to raise funds to build roads, even if I am hungry for two years now. ”

In this way, this meeting will become a revolving meeting, and at the critical moment, Pang Weidong also showed a little leadership spirit, and said loudly: "Since they all agree to build the road, then this matter is decided." Let's discuss the funding required. ”

Zhang Erwa frowned, and said helplessly: "Then let's discuss it." ”

Pang Weidong said: "The last time I went to the city, I specifically consulted someone. They said that the current asphalt road cost is 150 yuan a square meter, I roughly calculated, we need to repair the road is about 15 kilometers, two lanes should be enough, just play 8 meters wide, so it is 120,000 square meters, almost 18 million yuan. My idea is to apply for 5 million yuan from the county, and the remaining family will raise 8,000 yuan, which is almost enough. ”

Li Xiaoning held back for a long time and still didn't hold back, and couldn't help but say: "The 150 square meters you said is only the price of materials, and the others include survey fees, drawing fees, labor costs, supervision fees, etc., and you can't repair a flat without 300 yuan." Even if it's only 18 million, where do you let the people get the 8,000 yuan of fundraising? Do you know what the per capita annual income of Pingshan Town was last year? It's 2100 pieces! It's just enough to eat. Secretary Pang, I still say that building roads is a good thing, but we must proceed from the reality of Pingshan Town and take into account the actual difficulties of the masses. Otherwise, it will only increase the burden on the people. ”

Pang Weidong was hit by Li Xiaoning in front of him, his face was flushed with anger, he slapped the table, and said angrily: "Can you bear it?" As I told you, you're not qualified to speak here. ”

He Dongliang also said on the side: "Mayor Xiao Li has just arrived, and he is not familiar with the situation, so it is inevitable that he will say some layman's words that he takes for granted. In fact, it doesn't cost so much money to build a road. There is no need for labor costs or the like, and there is labor in Pingshan Town, so they can volunteer for work. We also started to drive the stones ourselves, and we could also go to the river to fish the sand ourselves. There are also a lot of small jobs that we can do ourselves. If you can apply for 5 million yuan from the county, I estimate that each family will receive 35,000 yuan. ”

Without waiting for Li Xiaoning to open his mouth, Pang Weidong immediately took over the words again: "To do anything, it depends on determination and spirit. As long as the people are united, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome, and there is no problem that cannot be solved. We are party members, and we must have the determination and courage to overcome difficulties. Think about the Red Army's Long March, climbing snow-capped mountains and crossing grasslands, wasn't it more difficult than ours? However, it was precisely because of determination and courage that our party finally won the victory. It's so decided, the family is ready not to eat meat for two years, and if you don't eat meat, you can't die. Sell pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese, and so on, I think it's not a big problem to take out 5,000 yuan each. ”

Li Xiaoning said in his heart, what is the difference between you and bandits and robbers? But seeing that everyone didn't speak, it was useless to insist on it alone, not to mention that he was not even a member of the party group now, and it was useless to say it, so he looked at Zhang Erwa, hoping that Zhang Erwa could say a few words.

Zhang Erwa was also a little helpless, pursed her lips and said, "Since Secretary Pang is so insistent, I won't express any objections." Hey, I, Zhang Erwa, have worked in Pingshan Town for so many years, and the people have scolded me for not being able to do a few good things for the villagers. I hope Secretary Pang can do this great thing. ”

Seeing that Zhang Erwa no longer objected, Pang Weidong immediately smiled again, and said with a red face: "Okay." That's it. Tomorrow, a meeting of the cadres of the village branches will be held to discuss the matter of raising funds and volunteering. ”

He Dongliang looked around, and suddenly said: "For such an important thing as road construction, does it have to have a leadership team?" After a pause, he continued, "I mean, set up a leadership group. Of course, Secretary Pang himself served as the team leader, and Mayor Zhang was the deputy team leader. As for the person who is specifically responsible for handling the matter, that is, the director of the road repair office, does it have to be determined as soon as possible? That's how we can do our work. ”

Pang Weidong thought for a moment and said, "I think I will let Mayor He bear this burden." You are responsible for attracting investment, you have many acquaintances and relationships, and it is convenient to get things done. ”

As soon as Pang Weidong's words fell, several deputy mayors immediately expressed their agreement to let He Dongliang serve as the director of the Road Repair Office.

Zhang Erwa hesitated for a long time and agreed. In this way, the secretary and the mayor agreed, and it was not easy for others to talk about it. He Dongliang also had a reluctant expression and agreed to be the director.

Pang Weidong looked around and said, "It's settled." There is still a lot of work to be done, and the most important thing is to implement the fundraising first. All of you here must be mentally prepared to touch nails, encounter trouble, and even be scolded. That's all for today's meeting, so let's dismiss if there's nothing to do. ”

After the meeting, Li Xiaoning's heart has been heavy. Although he is now only a deputy mayor in charge of family planning work, he has already taken the people of Pingshan Town to heart. He knew very well that the people of Pingshan Town had no money to pay the fundraising, and they had to think of other ways to build roads. But he is just a small deputy section-level cadre, where can he get tens of millions of dollars?

Just when Li Xiaoning was anxious about how to solve the problem of road construction funds, Pang Weidong did another thing that made him very annoyed.

In the period before Li Xiaoning's predecessor was injured and hospitalized, Pang Weidong personally grasped the family planning work in Pingshan Town. Pang Weidong's approach is to set up a reporting mechanism, and anyone who reports an overbirth will be rewarded with 100 yuan, and then take someone to catch the big belly to induce labor.

Now that Li Xiaoning has taken office, the village below does not know about this situation, so another report information was directly reported to Pang Weidong.

This time, it was the daughter-in-law of a farmer named Hou Laiwang in Hou Jiaji who was pregnant again, and his family had already given birth to two girls, and she was already a superchild. Pang Weidong was annoyed when he heard it, "Hou Jiaji is a concentration of super-born households, if Hou Laiwang can't take this, it will be even more difficult for others to learn from it." No way. The child must be knocked down, and he must be shown the power of the people. ”

Pang Weidong immediately waved his hand and personally led the team to arrest Hou Laiwang's daughter-in-law to forcibly induce labor, and to arrest Hou Laiwang as a negative example. He said that he wanted to show the newcomer Li Xiaoning how to carry out family planning work.

What Pang Weidong didn't expect was that Hou Laiwang was still relatively well-informed, so he ran away with his son and daughter-in-law before Pang Weidong arrived.

"Ran away? How long have you been running? Where did you go? Pang Weidong asked angrily at the person who came to report the news.

"I didn't run for a while, and I went in the direction of the county seat."

"Chase! chased to the ends of the earth, and he had to let him beat the child down! ”
