The subordinate who dared to give advice to the secretary of the provincial party committee in person, Li Zhihong met it for the second time, and the last time it was Xu Haodong.

"Xiao Xu, I'm listening."

"Just now when we were taking a taxi, you said to me, 'Even the taxi driver digs'. There is a problem with this sentence, the driver didn't hear anything, but I listened harshly. Leaders divide people into two categories in your mind, one is people and the other is talent, which is a preferential policy for talents. I don't think that's right, let's not talk about the reason, the leader knows better than me, equality is the foundation of a harmonious society. 'Even taxi drivers are poached', this sentence clearly looks down on taxi drivers, and in a big way, looks down on the vast majority of workers. ”

Li Zhihong's face was solemn, "Comrade Haodong, your opinion is very correct, I sincerely accept it, and at the same time express my heartfelt thanks. ”

Xu Haodong hurriedly changed the topic, "Leader, I have one more thing, that is, Yunling City has been upgraded to a prefecture-level city, and your leader has to give me a clear explanation, so that I can have a bottom in my heart." ”

"Stinky boy, I knew you were thinking about this." Smiling, Li Zhihong said: "First of all, the upgrading of Yunling City to a prefecture-level city is the trend of the times, and the overall situation has been decided. A few days ago, I went to a meeting of the central authorities to inquire specifically about this matter, and I can tell you now that the central authorities and the State Council have agreed in principle to upgrade Yunling City to a prefecture-level city. ”

Xu Haodong was happy, "Now I'm relieved." ”

"Don't get too happy." Li Zhihong said: "On the one hand, the assessment has not yet been carried out, and the assessment is divided into clear and secret examinations, especially the secret examinations, which are to send an unannounced visit team down, and I don't know when it will be conducted, I hope you can pass the secret examination." On the other hand, Yunling City's upgrade to a prefecture-level city will not be in place in one step, but gradually promoted, the first step is to separate the party and government affiliation with Haizhou City, that is, Yunling City is no longer managed by Haizhou City, but by the provincial party committee and provincial government under direct leadership and jurisdiction, during this period, the administrative level of Yunling City cadres will be frozen, remain unchanged, take you Xu Haodong as an example, you are now at the deputy department level, then it is still at the deputy department level. In the next step, within one or two years, the administrative level of cadres will be gradually raised, and finally all of them will be in place to meet the standard configuration of prefecture-level cities. ”

Xu Haodong said: "There is no problem with this, the cadres of Yunling City have this awareness, as long as Yunling City is upgraded to a prefecture-level city, everything else is easy to do." ”

"There's another problem." Li Zhihong said: "The Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government can't just be so cheap for your Yunling City, and I, Li Zhihong, can't be so cheap for you Xu Haodong, the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government have such a plan, ready to let you Yunling City carry a big burden." ”

Xu Haodong was stunned for a moment, "Leader, is it ...... Does the province want to take this opportunity to adjust our relevant administrative divisions? ”

"He's a smart man." Li Zhihong said: "Your Yunling City mainly borders the Xihe District of Haizhou City, and only a small part borders the Nanjiang District of Haizhou City. Xihe District is developing well, but Nanjiang District is not very good, especially the place bordering your Yunling City, which is basically all mountainous and is the most backward area in Haizhou City. There are three townships and one town with a population of more than 100,000, which is only a mountain away from your Yunling City, but its per capita income is less than two-fifths of that of your Yunling City. ”

Xu Haodong nodded and said, "Secretary Li, I understand what you mean." ”

Li Zhihong said: "Also, that mountainous area also includes five townships and one town in Qingshan County, which borders Nanjiang District, with a population of more than 200,000. In other words, there are more than 400,000 people in the entire Qingshan Mountainous Area, and if you upgrade Yunling City to a prefecture-level city, then you will have to take the Qingshan Mountain Area as a burden and strive to make the living standards of the more than 400,000 people there at least reach the average living standard of the entire Yunling City within two or three years. ”

Xu Haodong hesitated, "Leader, I personally absolutely obey the decision of my superiors, but this matter is too big for me to take care of, I have to go back and discuss with the comrades of the two teams first." ”

Li Zhihong snorted, "Actually, that's not only a burden, but also an advantage." Aren't you good at reverse thinking, you can think about it the other way around. ”

Xu Haodong really thought about it for a while, and his heart suddenly brightened, "Leader, I completely figured it out." ”

"Tell me." Li Zhihong smiled and drank the little bit of beer that was left.

"First of all, this is politics, Secretary Li, since you have spoken, it must be the strategic deployment of the provincial party committee and the provincial government, eight or nine times out of ten it is still the decision of the central committee and the State Council, I actively and resolutely support it, that is, to be consistent with the central and state council and the provincial party committee and provincial government, that is, to stress the performance of politics, at least I personally score politically. Second, although the 10 townships and towns in one district and one county in the Qingshan Mountains are backward areas, they have an area of 1,531 square kilometers, equivalent to 80 percent of the existing area of Yunling City. In addition, after the new Yunling City included the Qingshan Mountains, the administrative division was increased from five townships, ten towns, and five subdistricts to 13 townships, 12 towns, and five subdistricts, thus providing a sufficient foundation for the next step in setting up district-level governments between the city and the township subdistricts, and this is also a tangible benefit for the cadres of Yunling City. ”

Li Zhihong clasped his hands to his chest, "There are also financial accounts." ”

Xu Haodong said: "This account is better calculated, the original Yunling City belongs to a developed area, and the transfer payment of the central government is less than 1 billion yuan per year, plus various special funds, the total is less than 1500 million. After Yunling City is upgraded to a prefecture-level city, the transfer payments and special funds of the central government can reach at least 2.5 billion yuan, and the area in the Qingshan Mountain area should also have more than 1 billion yuan a year. That is to say, the current annual fiscal revenue of Yunling City is more than 8 billion yuan, and the annual fiscal revenue of the new Yunling City will start on the basis of 10.5 billion yuan. ”

Li Zhihong got up and said with a smile: "The account is finished, and the noodles have been eaten and drunk, and I should go home." ”

Xu Haodong ran to settle the bill and accompanied Li Zhihong to leave the "northerner" noodle restaurant.

Li Zhihong wanted to pass the bill and stuffed it into his pocket, "Xiao Xu, say I'll have a treat, and I'll pay you back." ”

Xu Haodong was also not polite, and said with a smile: "Okay, anyway, you are a big official, and your salary is more than mine." ”

Li Zhihong also smiled: "Refreshing, then let's go our separate ways and go home." ”

"Yo, I don't dare." Xu Haodong hurriedly said: "I brought out the secretary of the provincial party committee, I have to send it back with all my tails, if I lose the secretary of the provincial party committee, it will definitely become the headline news on the Internet in the next three days." ”

Li Zhihong scolded with a smile: "you, if the secretary of the provincial party committee can't even go home, then the secretary of the provincial party committee is too useless." ”

Xu Haodong asked with a smile: "Then let me ask, with our current location, can you know the specific direction of your home?" ”

Li Zhihong looked at the night sky and was stunned, "Xiao Xu, which side, which side is the north?" ”

Xu Haodong was even happier, "Hehe...... Secretary Li, I bet with you that if you are allowed to walk home without looking at the street signs and not inquiring, you may not be able to return home until dawn. ”

Li Zhihong was also happy, "I can't find the north, you kid just kidnapped me and sold me, I may still help you count the money." ”

After calling a taxi, Xu Haodong first escorted Li Zhihong to the residential area of the provincial party committee leaders.

When he got out of the car, Xu Haodong couldn't help but joke about Li Zhihong, "The taxi fee is thirty-five yuan, please pay for the leader." ”

"Get out." Li Zhihong waved his hand and walked away, "Haha......"

At a quarter past nine o'clock in the evening, Xu Haodong finally came to his parents-in-law's house.
