In addition to the driver, the Coaster brought by Yuan Kegong this time has only thirteen seats in total, and people from the province occupy ten seats, and now only one seat next to Yuan Kegong and two seats behind him are not sitting.

Yuan Kegong asked Li Xiaoning to sit down. But where to sit? There is a seat next to Yuan Kegong, and sitting here is an extremely high treatment. The secretary-general, the vice governor and the secretary Fang Jingwen did not dare to sit in this position. Li Xiaoning sat down directly, would it make Yuan Kegong feel that he didn't know how to be polite?

But if you sit behind Yuan Kegong, it is not appropriate, first, it feels like sitting on a cold bench, and second, Yuan Kegong will definitely have to talk to him, he sits in the back, doesn't he want Yuan Kegong to turn his head and talk to him? That would be even more rude.

Of course, if Yuan Kegong had indicated where to let Li Xiaoning sit, there would be no question of zài. But Yuan Kegong didn't say it explicitly, and Li Xiaoning would be difficult to do.

Li Xiaoning is also a secretary after all, and after a little hesitation, he already has a plan, he sat down next to Yuan Kegong, and said with a smile: "Then I will be closer to the chief, so that it is convenient to report to the chief." ”

Li Xiaoning's expression made Yuan Kegong feel very satisfied. This young man is disciplined, neither humble nor arrogant, and he is a person who has achieved great things. It seems that Lin Guodong didn't lie to himself, this Li Xiaoning is indeed worth cultivating.

Li Xiaoning never knew why he was suddenly seconded to Jiangnan Province. In fact, this matter is very simple to say -- it is the result of a phone call between Lin Guodong and Yuan Kegong. Lin Guodong and Yuan Kegong once studied together at the Central Party School, and both of them were rising stars among the high-level, and they could be regarded as like-minded, so they had relatively more personal contacts. Since Lin Guodong found out about Li Xiaoning and Tang Wei, he has always had a pimple in his heart, it is impossible to continue to let Li Xiaoning work under his hands, but at the same time, he appreciates Li Xiaoning's talent very much, and he has never given up the idea of letting Li Xiaoning be his son-in-law, so he can't put his heart into correcting Li Xiaoning, and he is unwilling to give up such a talent to others, so he thinks of Yuan Kegong.

It happened that Yuan Kegong had also dealt with Li Xiaoning once, and his impression of Li Xiaoning was not bad, so he readily agreed.

The reason why Yuan Kegong listed Xinpi County as the object of inspection this time was that in addition to Xinpi County being a large agricultural county, he also wanted to take the opportunity to see what Li Xiaoning was doing. Looking at it now, at least Li Xiaoning has not disappointed himself.

However, all leaders have the idea of being a Bole, and discovering and cultivating talents can bring a great sense of achievement. Moreover, the leaders are particularly keen on discovering and cultivating young talents, because young people's hearts and minds have not yet been finalized, and they are not as smooth as the old comrades, and they are more likely to be loyal to their leaders who have the grace of knowing and encountering, and their development potential is much greater than that of the old comrades.

Yuan Kegong, like Lin Guodong, was an airborne feudal official, and the political pattern of Jiangnan Province had been formed before he came, and if he wanted to get a piece of the power cake that had been divided, and he had to get the lion's share, he had to vigorously cultivate his own new forces while winning over the original forces. And Li Xiaoning is undoubtedly a good training object.

Li Xiaoning didn't know that at this moment, the secretary of the provincial party committee in front of him had thousands of thoughts in his mind, and as soon as he sat down, he heard Yuan Kegong ask again: "Where are you going to take us to see?" ”

Yuan Kegong's question is as simple as the previous question, but the answer is just as simple. Li Xiaoning wanted to take Yuan Kegong to see where it was easy to answer, but his own ideas were in conflict with the ideas of the city and the county, if he completely followed his own ideas, he would definitely offend Qin Fengxiang and Lian Yu, as the saying goes, the county officials are not as good as the current management, no matter how much the provincial party secretary appreciates himself, it is not wise to offend the top boss. But if Qin Fengxiang and Lian Yu directly took out the plan originally agreed, then what would they do to impress Yuan Kegong? If you can't impress Yuan Kegong, wouldn't it be in vain that Lang wasted this opportunity to be alone with the secretary of the provincial party committee? Such an opportunity is hard to come by, and if you don't do anything this time, it will be difficult to think about it next time.

Fortunately, Li Xiaoning had already prepared, and he replied unhurriedly: "The county originally thought that it would be noon when the chief came to us, and after a few hours of driving, I thought about taking a rest first, and Secretary Lian would report on the situation in the county, and then have lunch." Inspections are scheduled for the afternoon. However, I saw that the chief had come so early, and he must have been anxious to see the situation first, so I dared to take it upon myself to ask the chief to go to the township below to have a look, and then go back and rest. ”

Yuan Kegong nodded and said, "We are resting in the car, let's take a look first." ”

Li Xiaoning continued: "The county originally prepared three points, one in the south, one in the north, the best one in the middle, the worst one in the north, and the average one in the south. However, I think the chief came to find out the problem and supervise our work, so I thought if I should go directly to the village in the north where the conditions are relatively poor, and then I will take the chief to a place in the south to have a look. ”

Yuan Kegong glanced at Li Xiaoning and said, "Your idea is good." If you want to be optimistic, you won't come to your famous poor county. Just do as you say, and go to the northern point first. ”

The investigation in Damiao Village was very smooth, and it was better than expected, first of all, Lian Yu and they were indeed well prepared, and secondly, what Li Xiaoning said to the village party secretary in advance played a role, and the peasants who were asked by Yuan Kegong answered truthfully, of course, they were definitely not completely truthful, they all chose what they could say and said, and if they couldn't say it, they still didn't dare to say it. But the result still made Yuan Kegong very satisfied. He happily praised the leaders present and praised them for doing a relatively solid job, and that the burden on the peasants was not as heavy as he imagined. The leaders at the city and county levels were all overjoyed, especially Lian Yu, who had a smile on her face.

However, when the convoy was about to leave, hundreds of people suddenly came from the next door Shuangmiao Village and blocked the way, wanting to complain to the secretary of the provincial party committee and tell the disaster.

Qin Fengxiang had said in advance that whoever had a problem would be responsible, and whoever had a problem would be responsible, and that he should be responsible for what happened, and that he should raise this inspection to the level of stressing politics. Unexpectedly, such a big thing would happen all at once, and Lian Yu was directly scared into a cold sweat. Hurriedly ran forward to organize the block.

Yuan Kegong did not get angry, but immediately got out of the car and said that I am the secretary of the provincial party committee, please tell me if you have anything.

Li Xiaoning took the opportunity to shout to the villagers: "Everyone must be polite and civilized, Secretary Yuan of the Provincial Party Committee is here to solve difficulties for everyone, if you have anything to say, you can solve it, and if it can be solved, it will be solved." ”

The villagers began to speak. They said that this year's flooding was severe, and the banks were all flooded, and the grains were not collected, but the village cadres said that the national tax on imperial grain was an ironclad thing, and no matter whether the harvest was good or bad, the tax that should be paid still had to be paid. The villagers asked the secretary to visit the village, ask for tax exemption, and give some relief.

Yuan Kegong immediately said: "Let's go, go to the village and have a look." ”

The crowd had no choice but to follow. When I arrived at Shuangmiao Village, I saw that the disaster was indeed severe. The fields were almost completely flooded, and many houses were directly submerged in the water, and even a few houses had only one roof exposed. A small piece of high ground was set up with a hundred and ten tents, all of which were extremely rudimentary, with a few wooden sticks of varying thickness supporting a frame, and a piece of oilcloth or woven bag on top, which was a home. Parents-in-law, sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren are all crammed into these two squares.

Yuan Kegong's eyes moistened, and he suddenly scolded a fucking sentence, and then turned around and left.

Yuan Kegong is a well-known Confucian official, he was a university professor before becoming an official, and he usually looks gentle and elegant, but today he actually scolded and sweared, which shows that he is really angry. None of them dared to speak, so they had to follow back in order.

Because of the episode of Shuangmiao Village, all the subsequent inspections were stopped, and Yuan Kegong did not return to the county and city, but directly held an on-site meeting in Shuangmiao Village to discuss how to fight the disaster and provide relief.

Because the village committee of Shuangmiao Village was also flooded, the meeting was held directly standing. Yuan Kegong first expressed his stance and exempted Shuangmiao Village from taxes, not for one year, but for three consecutive years. Then let Lian Yu talk about the disaster relief measures and the idea of preventing waterlogging later.

Lian Yu has been an old official for many years after all, although the previous reports were all written by the secretary, but after reading too much, there is something in his head. After a short silence, they began to talk endlessly, but when it comes to it, there are only a few ways to relieve the disaster: mobilizing all the people, sending cadres to the countryside, mobilizing the county's water pumps to the front line, and then allocating some disaster relief funds.

Yuan Kegong frowned and listened to Lian Yu's words, and then asked, "How much money do you plan to allocate for disaster relief?" ”

Lian Yu snorted for a long time, talked about a lot of difficulties in the county, and then said that he could allocate up to 500,000 yuan.

Yuan Kegong was annoyed when he heard this, and asked with a calm face: "How many villagers are there in Shuangmiao Village?" ”

Lian Yu was stunned, how did he know? Say a few hundred people uncertainly, right? was glared at by Yuan Kegong, and said more than 1,000 people.

Yuan Kegong shook his head and said, "It seems that you don't know!" Li Xiaoning? You're a county magistrate, you know? ”

Li Xiaoning said calmly: "Shuangmiao Village is one of the largest natural villages in our Xinpi County, according to last year's statistics, there are a total of 1,267 households and 4,786 people in the village. ”

Yuan Kegong said to Lian Yu: "You have been the leader for so many years, and your understanding of the following situation is not as good as that of others who have just come here for a few days, are you ashamed?" ”

At this time, the villagers were all around, and the heads of the county, township, and the two villages were also there, and Lian Yu's face was as red as a burning cloud, and he was eager to find a crack in the ground to get into. At the same time, I also hated Li Xiaoning in my heart as if something - as long as you Li Xiaoning can, I don't believe that you can remember the situation of so many villages in the county so clearly. You must have calculated in advance, and deliberately wanted to make a fool of me in front of the secretary of the provincial party committee. Maybe the villagers of Shuangmiao Village were also arranged by you Li Xiaoning in advance to complain.

After Yuan Kegong finished training Lian Yu, he continued: "The 500,000 disaster relief funds were distributed to 4,000 people, and each person only had 100 yuan, which was not enough at all. That doesn't work, we have to find another way. County Magistrate Li, Secretary Lian said that he could only pay 500,000, what about you? You are the county magistrate and you are in charge of the economy. Can you give more money not? ”

"Can't!" Li Xiaoning said very simply.
