Chapter 97: The New Envoy of the Ministry of Rites (Part II)
"Let's have a morning meeting!" Xiong Shang, who returned to the Ministry of Rites, just put down his briefcase and said to the secretary.
The secretary immediately went to convey it. It didn't take long for the conference room to fill up. It was nine o'clock in the morning. According to the regulations, everyone first reported the major events every day, and the first thing was that the imperial court put forward a new deployment for the urban construction and urban water supply of Lin'an and other large cities with a population of more than 500,000.
It's just a briefing to let everyone know that there's such a thing. Before the announcement, some people knew more about it through their own relationships. For example, Su Yong and Du Zhen. The two heard about it while having dinner with their classmate Wang Qing. Even comrades who don't know these things don't know anything. The last increase in water prices was accompanied by the extension of the intermittent water outage. Originally, you could still watch the beautiful water spraying posture of the fountain, but now as soon as the water comes, everyone will rush to grab the water. In terms of effect, it does save a lot of water, but that happy and comfortable life has also been greatly affected. At this time, there has been news that the price of water will be raised again.
This news was followed by a change in land use per capita for land reform. Because we don't want a situation where there is too much land for people to plant. So the final standard for farming has finally been set. In the Jiangnan region, there are four acres of irrigated land per capita, and the land planning has also changed to demarcate forestry land and cash crop land in addition to irrigated land.
Matching this is the 320th year of the Great Song Dynasty, which will start the propaganda of soil and water conservation in an all-round way. The boss said that it is necessary to reverse the concept of asking for land from rivers and lakes. Pay attention to soil and water conservation, and pay attention to the protection of the natural environment.
As soon as I finished reading about the farmland, someone asked, "What the hell is going on with water?" Do you need to increase your water bill? ”
This sentence immediately sparked more approval. Most of the people in the Ministry of Rites are not pure city dwellers, but they are probably going to stay in the city for a long time. The price of water in the city has a great impact on everyone. In the past, I used to buy water to eat, and the result of buying water was that many people couldn't even afford water.
It's hard to see that there are people washing toilets in the river opposite, don't you see? Yes, of course! However, everyone can only pretend not to see it! If you don't accept this fact, you can't afford to use water. Now that I have been using clean water for a few years, how can I say that it will change!
Xiong Shang didn't expect so much. The community where he lives is an upscale community, and although the water supply is limited, it is not a problem to rush to grab water. However, looking at the performance of other people, Xiong Sheng also sighed in his heart. The days of buying water are indeed uncomfortable.
Seeing that everyone was emotional, Xiong Sheng said: "Since this matter is first done in the community of officials and cadres, I think it will be clear to everyone soon." Don't worry, don't worry. ”
"Shangshu. Then you have to give it some time, right? ”
"Naturally, the Water Authority is in charge of such matters. We are the Ministry of Rites, and if I know something, I will naturally tell you something. I know as much about these things as I do for all of them. ”
"Shangshu, you haven't even seen it. There are few people living in our community, and the neighborhoods next door are shopkeepers' houses, and many of them use a fountain, so when it comes to the water supply, many people come to us to fetch water. After a long time like this, most of us have to have conflicts. ”
"Don't beat the people." Xiong Shang hurriedly reminded. Arrogant people in the capital don't end well, don't look at this inconspicuous person, who knows who you know behind it.
"Shangshu! You've wronged us by saying this! The cadre who spoke replied aggrievedly.
"Is it difficult that the people over there dare to beat and scold you?" Xiong Shang said half-jokingly.
"One by one, they scolded and scolded, knowing that we were officials, so they said that we only kept water for ourselves, and it didn't matter whether they lived or died. You say it's not infuriating! These canals are all connected, and we use the same water in the same canal as them, so how can we keep the water! ”
Hearing that it was not his subordinates who beat and scolded the people, Xiong Sheng also breathed a sigh of relief. Just as the Ministry of Rites was about to end the discussion, the other officials and cadres who heard this were all emotional. Some people who have been in a similar situation say that their communities are overwhelmed and distressed.
Some said that it was wrong for the people to speak ill of officials and cadres. Some even said that the community should be used by people in the community, so why should the guards let people from outside in.
The officials and cadres talked so much about these things that Xiong Sheng had to listen to everyone for a few minutes. Listening to a few more words will not help to solve the problem, but in such a hurry, let everyone shut up, and estimate everyone's grievances are gathered like the people against officials and cadres, and it has become the grievances of officials and cadres against higher-level Xiong Shangshu.
"After a while, I will send someone to the water board and ask the water board to figure out the latest solution for everyone. Once these are figured out, we will be at ease. Xiong Shang Shang said.
With venting, everyone can only do this. Other major events include the imperial court to open plantations in the South China Sea and begin to gather various technical service personnel. Zhao Guanjia has already made a very domineering statement, the entire South China Sea and the islands in the South China Sea belong to the Great Song Dynasty and belong to China.
Since it is from the Great Song Dynasty, it is Chinese. You don't have to be polite, don't worry about boldly opening up. As a court of justice, in the spirit of serving the people, it provides a lot of services. And these professional services require professionals, such as medical care, such as map making. At present, the Great Song Dynasty is recruiting people who are willing to devote themselves to the great cause of opening up.
As soon as they heard that it was the South China Sea, these Hangzhou households kept silent. Fang's accusation of water is not that everyone wants to leave Hangzhou angrily, but that everyone wants to live in Hangzhou for a longer time, so I hope that Hangzhou City is more suitable for everyone to live in, so that everyone can enjoy a better and more convenient life.
As for going to the South China Sea, that's something you can't even think about.
After talking about these important things, Xiong Sheng took out the work of the department. The first is the work on negotiations with Mongolia.
"I have already reported to the officials today that the representatives for the new round of negotiations with Mongolia will be the young comrades. The officials did not object. So the update will be announced soon. ”
After saying this, everyone's eyes fell on Song Gongming. Song Gongming's biggest feeling at this time was stunned, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him, his face turned red. Originally, he still wanted to ease the relationship with Xiong Sheng in his heart, but he didn't expect that his kindness was actually such a domineering choice for Xiong Shang. Surprised, angry, uneasy. Song Gongming had all kinds of emotions rising in his heart, and these emotions finally became one, that is, a strong sense of shame.
"Hey!" Song Gongming spoke, "Xiong Shangshu, it's not appropriate for you to do this!" ”
Xiong Sheng had repeatedly considered whether to discuss with Song Gongming, but in the end he decided not to discuss. If Song Gongming can loosen his mouth early and give young people a chance, of course there will be something to talk about. However, Song Gongming's attitude of eating alone made Xiong Sheng feel that he couldn't cope with it. At this point, Xiong Sheng replied, "I have decided!" ”
