Standing in front of the window of the reception room of Building 1 of the Bayi Hotel, Li Zhihong and Wu Guozhang watched the buses leave one by one with full loads, and then returned to the sofa and sat down.

Wu Guozhang waved his hand at Xu Haodong, motioned for him to sit down too, and then smiled and said, "Haodong, these few days are enough for you to be busy." Today is the four sets of team members, pouring out of the nest, it will not affect your normal work. ”

Xu Haodong said: "No. This is similar to the situation when we are hit by a typhoon, whenever a typhoon comes, our municipal leaders, except for the commander-in-chief, are also dispersed in this way. ”

Li Zhihong and Wu Guozhang laughed.

Wu Guozhang said: "Your description is like a war." ”

Xu Haodong said: "Secretary Wu, under normal circumstances, the municipal party committee and municipal government do not need so many leaders. ”

Wu Guozhang sighed, "You are an advocate of streamlining the government." ”

Xu Haodong nodded yes.

Li Zhihong said: "He, there is a crazy idea, where there is a deputy position, one is enough." ”

Wu Guozhang smiled, "This is crazy enough." ”

Li Zhihong also smiled and said: "If he has that power, he will definitely dare to do it." ”

Wu Guozhang asked: "So, Haodong, why didn't you put forward this idea publicly?" ”

Xu Haodong smiled and said, "If I bring this up, then I won't be able to live." ”

Wu Guozhang sighed, "Why?" ”

Li Zhihong said: "Guozhang, he advocates a 30 percent reduction in civil servants, especially a large reduction in those deputy posts. How many people will this offend? Will he still be able to live? ”

Wu Guozhang suddenly realized, "Yes, yes." Haodong, don't talk about this idea outside. ”

Li Zhihong smiled, "He is very slippery, he can't say it, and he won't say it if he is killed." ”

Wu Guozhang asked: "Haodong, what do you think is the biggest problem with our system?" ”

Xu Haodong blurted out, "The ability to govern is not strong enough." ”

Wu Guozhang snorted, "Please be specific." ”

Unexpectedly, Xu Haodong retracted, "Secretary Wu, I don't have specifics." ”

Wu Guozhang laughed, "It's really cunning." So, give me some advice, it's always okay, right? ”

Xu Haodong glanced at Li Zhihong.

Li Zhihong said: "Don't look at me, just treat it as a small-scale democratic life meeting of the third-level secretary." ”

Wu Guozhang said: "So. ”

Xu Haodong said: "I dare this." ”

Wu Guozhang said: "I listen to you. ”

Xu Haodong said: "I only talk about things. One, there are too many meetings. In June, the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee and the General Office of the Provincial Government issued seven meeting notices. The key point is that these seven meetings are not meetings of the provincial party committee and provincial government, but all meetings of provincial departments, but the secretary of the municipal party committee is designated to attend the meeting. ”

Wu Guozhang smiled and said, "I heard that you didn't participate once. ”

Xu Haodong nodded and said, "Yes, each meeting plus back and forth, it will take at least two days." Seven meetings and fourteen days, plus weekends, I only have seven or eight days left to work every month, and I can still work normally. ”

Wu Guozhang said: "Yes, this is a bit excessive. ”

Xu Haodong said: "Secretary Wu, I have learned about those meetings, in fact, they don't have to be held, just issue a document. ”

Wu Guozhang nodded, "You continue." ”

Xu Haodong said: "Second, the provincial organs are too capable of tossing. In the first half of this year, we received 527 documents from provincial organs and received more than 960 people from 177 inspection groups, guidance groups, and inspection groups from provincial organs. I still don't understand how they are so idle, how they can toss us like this. ”

Wu Guozhang sighed, "So much? So many, huh? ”

Xu Haodong said: "Secretary Wu, there are more than 500 video and telephone conferences, more than 700 official letters, and more than 1,000 materials. ”

Wu Guozhang said: "The mountains and the sea live up to the name. ”

Xu Haodong asked seven questions in one breath, all of which were both facts and very sharp.

Wu Guozhang asked: "What about my personal opinion?" ”

Xu Haodong said: "So far, there is none. Please rest assured, Secretary Wu, yes, I will mention it in person, just like I did to Secretary Li. ”

Wu Guozhang pondered and said: "There is no opinion, it is also an opinion." ”

Li Zhihong said: "Guozhang, you are right. What he says with this mouth, you have to think both positively and negatively. ”

Wu Guozhang said: "Please give advice." ”

Li Zhihong said: "At the beginning, Haodong also said that he had no opinion on me, and later, he said that he had no opinion on me, saying that I did not act and did not act enough. ”

As he spoke, Li Zhihong smiled.

Wu Guozhang also smiled, "I understand." ”

Li Zhihong said: "Guozhang, please pay attention, this guy is a person who dares to give advice to the secretary of the provincial party committee in person. ”

Wu Guozhang nodded, "I appreciate such people. ”

Xu Haodong smiled embarrassedly, "Two leaders, don't squeeze me." ”

Li Zhihong said: "Haodong, most of the seven opinions you made to Secretary Guozhang were not done well when I was in office, and the account should be counted on me. Guozhang, let's talk about the Population and Development Work Conference. ”

The topic was changed, and the atmosphere was also booming.

Wu Guozhang said: "In terms of the population situation, Dongjiang Province is more serious. On the one hand, the population inflow is relatively large, and the total population is increasing, and this trend is guaranteed in the next ten years. On the other hand, the natural growth rate has been declining, and the total fertility rate is only 1.35 percent, which is only higher than that of a few municipalities and the three eastern provinces. ”

Li Zhihong said: "I think Yunling's set can increase the natural population growth rate. ”

Wu Guozhang said: "After this meeting, we are ready to copy Yunling City throughout the province. ”

"Dong Giang province's economy is among the best in the country, and it should also make a difference in terms of population development," Li Zhihong said. ”

Wu Guozhang asked Xu Haodong, "Haodong, the whole province copied your Yunling City, do you think it can be done?" ”

Xu Haodong said without thinking: "No." ”

Wu Guozhang sighed, "Why? ”

Xu Haodong said: "Because I don't have money, or rather, I don't want to spend money on this at all." Dongjiang Province's provincial debt is more than 300 billion yuan, and together with the debts at all levels, it may add up to more than one trillion yuan. It's too late to repay debts, so how can you use the money to encourage childbearing. ”

Wu Guozhang sighed lightly, "In the final analysis, it's still a matter of money." ”

Li Zhihong glanced at Xu Haodong, "Haodong, your report yesterday didn't mention this issue, how can you promote and implement your Yunling set of measures." ”

"I'm prepared, but I'd like to wait for the attendees to visit and discuss before I make another presentation at the conference," Xu said. ”

Li Zhihong sighed, "I want to hear your remarks and the comments of the participants." ”

Xu Haodong asked: "Secretary Li, aren't you going to the provincial capital today?" ”

Li Zhihong pointed at Wu Guozhang and said to Xu Haodong: "I went to the provincial capital mainly to participate in their democratic life meeting. But Governor Shi Zhanping is away on business, and I suggest that their democratic life will be postponed, so I can stay in your Yunling for two more days. ”

Xu Haodong nodded and sighed.

Wu Guozhang asked: "Haodong, I still have one more thing to ask, you let them choose their own places to visit, but why do you try your best to recommend a natural village called Tanpu?" ”

Li Zhihong also asked: "Yes, Haodong, tell me, what is the name there?" ”
