"What should I do......?" Zhou Yuning listened to Chu Tianshu's question, seemed to be surprised, and then smiled helplessly and said, "What should I do, then how to say it?" Like this, the secretary is always changing on the fly, and even I don't know what to do? ”

Chu Tianshu couldn't laugh when he heard it, and understood what he meant, the cadres of Nanling County were sloppy, and it had nothing to do with him, the head of the organization, because the secretary was changed too frequently, and even he was at a loss.

There was no way to continue this conversation, Chu Tianshu had to ask a few words hastily, in order to ease the atmosphere, he asked him to provide a roster of cadres above the deputy section level in the county, this kind of irresponsible simple work, Zhou Yuning was naturally very happy to accept.

At this time, Chu Tianshu expressed a little urgency, and Zhou Yuning took the opportunity to say goodbye and end this fruitless conversation.

When saying goodbye, Chu Tianshu still moved his chair with difficulty to shake hands with Zhou Yuning.

Zhou Yuning also found out that he had changed his chair and saw the peach blossoms on the windowsill, but he didn't ask much, only glanced at it meaningfully, and then withdrew from the secretary's office with a suspicious face.

After going to the toilet and coming back, Chu Tianshu sat on the chair and recalled the process of the conversation just now, first thinking that such a person who did not dare to take responsibility could become the head of the organization, but after thinking about it, this should be Fu Damu's intention, so that he could fiddle with Zhou Yuning at will, do whatever he wants in the appointment of cadres, and do whatever he wants.

The next talk was about Propaganda Minister Mao Xingdong.

Among several people, Mao Xingdong was the most talkative, and as soon as he sat down on the chair opposite Chu Tianshu's desk, he began to complain: "When I entered the Organization Department, I made progress every year, and when I entered the Propaganda Department, I made mistakes every year." Secretary Chu, I, Lao Mao, have been making mistakes all these years, and I don't care about making one more mistake under your leadership. ”

Chu Tianshu can understand Mao Xingdong's situation very well and thinks that his complaints are reasonable.

Not to mention that the organization department itself is in charge of the promotion of cadres, and has the innate advantage of being close to the water and getting the first month, the most important thing is that most of the cadres of the organization department follow the rules and regulations, and their work style is rigorous and orderly, and they are easy to win the favor of leaders.

However, the Propaganda Department is different, and the propaganda work must follow the tone of the leadership.

However, the main leaders of Nanling County are always changing, and the tone of the propaganda department must also change, and the county magistrate Fu Damu may not buy it, and as a result, the tone of the main leaders is not uniform, and the black pot naturally has to be carried by the Propaganda Department.

"yes, that's the reason." After getting Chu Tianshu's understanding, Mao Xingdong became more and more excited, and he said: "Secretary Chu, what do you want to know, what do I have to say, what can't I say, please bring it up, and I will add." ”

Chu Tianshu looked at Mao Xingdong with a smile, feeling that he was amiable and credible. He said: "Comrade Xingdong, I came to you just to hear your complaints and talk about the situation. ”

Without waiting for Chu Tianshu to ask, Mao Xingdong spoke.

Mao Xingdong said: "I know that Secretary Chu first wants to know about the messy things in Nanling County. Because if those problems are not solved first, it will be difficult for Secretary Chu's work to be carried out in the future. The atmosphere in Nanling County is completely bad, and many cadres of government organs go to work not to do work or seek careers, but to make connections with wine, to do private affairs, and to stir up trouble and make trouble; in particular, they are particularly interested in feudal superstition and peachy scandals; not only do no one stop them, but they also add fuel to the spread and spread of the disease, causing a miasma of smoke up and down, and the work of our propaganda department is also very passive. ”

What Mao Xingdong said was exactly what Chu Tianshu wanted to know the most.

Previously, Geng Zhongtian, Zhou Yuning, including yesterday's Yang Fugui, talked about how poor Nanling County was, how embarrassed the finances were, how poor the quality of farmers was, how difficult it was to grasp the business, etc., all of which were rambling big problems.

At present, Mao Xingdong directly talked about the problems in the work style of the cadres of the organs, the unhealthy social atmosphere in Nanling County, and the ideological confusion among the cadres and the masses, and pointed out sharply that all these are related to the spread and spread of feudal superstition and peachy scandals.

Chu Tianshu nodded frequently and encouraged Mao Xingdong to continue.

Mao Xingdong said solemnly: "Let me say something ugly, the leaders in the past didn't know where the shit on the buttocks was, but they just didn't have the courage to take resolute and decisive measures. Secretary Chu, let me give you a suggestion, you must attach great importance to this issue, and first find a way to kill this unhealthy trend. ”

Chu Tianshu said: "Xingdong, can you give an example? ”

"The example is ready-made, Secretary Chu, don't you mind if I say it." Mao Xingdong raised his hand and gestured, and said: "This is obviously an ordinary office, but some people say that feng shui is not good, and whoever comes will not be able to sit steadily, and sooner or later they will be unlucky." You say, is this nonsense with ulterior motives? ”

"Hehe, Xingdong, just say, I don't believe in this evil." Chu Tianshu smiled and asked again, "Are there any other aspects?" ”

"Yes, wow!" Mao Xingdong looked around, lowered his voice and said: "The previous secretaries had peachy scandals before they were transferred or had accidents, and they were spread with noses and eyes, and some secretaries' wives also made a special trip from the city to Xingshi to ask for guilt, which caused a storm in the city. You say, can you stay in this situation? ”

Chu Tianshu asked: "Xingdong, did you say that these scandals were deliberately made up by someone." ”

Mao Xingdong hesitated for a moment and replied: "I think 80 or 90 percent of it is deliberately made up. ”

"That means 10 to 20 percent of the time?" Chu Tianshu asked closely.

"That's what I estimated. As the saying goes, you can't afford Lang without wind. Mao Xingdong said: "Of course, catching thieves and stolen goods, catching traitors and catching doubles, no one has caught anyone in the bed, and no conclusion can be made." The Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection sent people to check several times, but they could only be dismissed. Because there is no evidence. Although there is no evidence, the whole county has become a pot of porridge, their prestige has been discredited, and they have no way to lead everyone to work, so they have to take the initiative to ask the city to be transferred. ”

Chu Tianshu said: "Since it is chasing the wind and catching shadows, how can the big guy be convinced? ”

"Hehe, it's still the same old way, and it can be explained from the superstitious side without evidence." Mao Xingdong said with interest: "After they are transferred, it will be rumored that the woman who had an affair with them is a white tiger, and their bad luck is caused by something in the crotch, no wonder others." Even the dead Ma Xingwang refused to let go. ”

Chu Tianshu thought for a moment, and then asked hesitantly: "Then where do you think these messy things will come from?" ”

"This ...... I really can't say well. Mao Xingdong was very strong in his conversation, but when it came to the key issues, he immediately adopted an evasive attitude.

"Comrade Xingdong, thank you. You, the Minister of Propaganda, are competent, and your words have cleared my mind a lot. Chu Tianshu said approvingly: "I think you are kindly reminding me not to be disturbed by superstitious statements, and not to be contaminated with scandals in my future work and life." I'm not wrong, am I? ”

Mao Xingdong said without thinking: "Yes, yes." That's what I mean. ”

Chu Tianshu took the opportunity to ask: "Xingdong, you are an expert in propaganda, you can help me make suggestions, where should I start with this rectification and discipline?" ”

"Of course, it's the righteousness of the tree and the brake of the wind." Mao Xingdong clenched his fists excitedly and said: "Grasp one or two typical examples, organize a big discussion in the "Xinnanling" newspaper, resolutely oppose feudal superstition, and guide the people to distinguish between right and wrong. ”

"This ...... Does it work well? Chu Tianshu couldn't help but ask.

"Whether the effect is good or not depends on how much investment you, the secretary, can give to the newspaper." Mao Xingdong made a request in a flash, and felt a little embarrassed Chu Tianshu, and immediately added: "Hehe, my idea is that it is better to have a positive voice than nothing." ”

Mao Xingdong, it seems, is also skeptical about how effective this kind of propaganda can be.

After all, the "Xinnanling" newspaper is a weekly newspaper issued within the county, and it is basically a subscription apportioned by the county-level organs and various township units, and there are very few people who really read it seriously.

Mao Xingdong said this, but he still wanted to ask Chu Tianshu for funds for the newspaper, because the newspaper was almost unmanageable.

Chu Tianshu has no financial power in his hands, even if he has money at his disposal, I am afraid he will not invest in newspapers with limited influence, he did not return to Mao Xingdong's question head-on, but said: "Xingdong, you have a high theoretical level, can you make a propaganda report to break superstition and rectify discipline within a certain range?" ”

"No, no, no, no." Mao Xingdong hurriedly smiled and waved his hand, and said: "It's okay to talk casually, and if I give a lecture seriously, then my authority is far from enough." Ha Luha, Secretary Chu, I don't have anything else to report, I quit, I quit. ”

When he got up, Mao Xingdong found the pot of peach blossoms by the windowsill, shook his head and chanted a poem: "Last year, in this door today, the peach blossoms on the human face were red. The face of the person does not know where to go, and the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze. Secretary Chu, hello Yaxing! ”

"Yaxing can't talk about it. There is such a pot of flowers in this twilight office, which can add a bit of spring. Chu Tianshu also got up and said with a smile: "Xingdong, you said, I have a pot of peach blossoms here, will anyone say that this is a harbinger of escape." ”

"It's not that it's impossible, it's too likely." Mao Xingdong frowned and said: "However, the people who make this kind of association are too uneducated, where do they know the Tao, there is a scorching sentence after the death of the peach, which originally meant to talk about the prosperity of things." If understood from a positive point of view, this pot of budding peach blossoms indicates that Nanling County is about to enter a new era of prosperity. ”

"Well spoken, well spoken." Chu Tianshu slapped his face and said: "Xingdong, this person is not the same if he has a culture or not, the same pot of flowers, you and the people next to you look like there is a difference between cloud and mud, and you will make a judgment." ”
