After Yan Changqi was dragged into the car by Shu Huaru, he found that there was no driver in the car at all. When he was wondering, Shu Huaru opened the front door, sat in the driver's seat, honked the horn twice, and drove on the road in person.

Yan Changqi was so frightened that he shouted: "Mayor Shu, what are you kidding about the third watch in the middle of the night?" ”

Shu Huaru said: "Who is joking with you? I can afford you Mayor Yan, so I took you for a ride. ”

Yan Changqi said: "Forget it, you are kidnapping, I don't want to go for a ride at all, I just want to sleep upside down." Isn't there a meeting tomorrow morning? ”

Shu Huaru said: "Yes, when I think of tomorrow's meeting, I can't sleep, so you can fall asleep?" ”

Yan Changqi said: "Why can't you sleep? I ran away with the people from the Construction Committee and the Transportation Bureau for a few days, and my bones were about to be broken by the rotten roads of our Pingchuan, and now I am still dizzy as if I was riding a boat. ”

Shu Huaru said: "Then let's do it again, when the road is repaired in the future, you won't be able to find this feeling of taking a boat, isn't it a pity?" ”

It is a half-new Santana, the brand is quite large, and it is obviously not from the municipal party committee, nor is it from the city. As soon as the car drove onto Zhongshan Road, it was stopped by a traffic policeman who wanted to take someone for a ride. When he saw that it was Mayor Shu Huaru who was driving, the traffic police were startled and hurriedly saluted and let them go.

After getting back on the road, Shu Huaru explained to Yan Changqi: "I was choked enough today, and I accompanied a vice minister of the Ministry of Agriculture to two counties to see the site of the water diversion project, and it was too late to come back, and the driver Xiao Liu had just gotten married, so I let Xiao Liu go home." When passing by the Material Bureau, I asked Director Fu that they had borrowed this car. ”

Yan Changqi said: "No wonder that traffic police officer dared to stop him. You don't lose your temper with the mayor and give him a few words. It's not like words, it's a privilege, no wonder the common people have opinions. ”

Shu Huaru smiled: "I don't dare to discipline him, I also violated the rules today." I only have a student ID, and according to the regulations, I can't drive without an instructor by my side. ”

Yan Changqi also smiled: "Okay, you, the big mayor, take the lead in driving illegally, if you are really detained by the traffic police, let Secretary Wu take you, it will be a big news, and it can be on the front page of "Pingchuan Daily". ”

Although he doesn't have an official driver's license, Shu Huaru's car drives quite well. Yan Changqi praised Shu Huaru, and Shu Huaru praised his coach, the driver Xiao Liu, saying that Coach Xiao Liu had already said that if he went to take the road test, he would be able to pass the test smoothly.

Then we got down to business.

Shu Huaru asked: "Mayor Yan, the comrades of the Construction Committee and the Transportation Bureau seem to have come up with the preliminary design plan for the ring road, right?" ”

Yan Changqi said: "Yes, it was taken out three days ago, and Secretary Wu also participated in the discussion of the plan several times. At present, the opinions of various parties are being solicited on this plan, and the differences are not small. However, the current disagreement is no longer a question of whether it can be improved, but a question of what scale and what standard it should be. ”

Shu Huaru nodded, and asked again: "How are the funds implemented?" With the water conservancy project in full swing, can we guarantee the financial needs of the ring road? ”

Yan Changqi thought for a while and said, "I really don't have a few of them. According to the standard of secondary roads and four lanes, our 60-kilometer ring road will cost more than 200 million. And if it is according to Secretary Wu's intentions, if you build a six-lane first-class road, you may not be able to get 300 million. ”

Shu Huaru said: "Let me give you a clear account: the provincial transportation department can arrange 25 million yuan for us to repair roads early next year, and the provincial transportation bank has also promised to give us 30 million yuan for infrastructure investment loans, and the municipal finance can allocate up to 30 million yuan, which adds up to 85 million, and if it is 300 million, the funding gap is about 200 million." ”

Yan Changqi said: "Your account is the same as Secretary Wu's account, and Secretary Wu also explained to everyone that everyone has to find a way for the gap of more than 200 million funds." It was also said that under no circumstances should the South-to-North Water Diversion Project be affected. It's a real problem for us. ”

At this time, the car had left the main city and arrived in front of Longfeng Mountain.

Shu Huaru stopped the car, walked to the Changfeng Pavilion at the foot of the mountain with Yan Changqi, looked condescendingly at Pingchuan at night and asked Yan Changqi: "If the municipal party committee and the city are determined to go on the ring road in this situation, is there a way to solve the problem of funds in the end?" What is the biggest passivity that is possible? ”

Yan Changqi thought for a while and said, "I think that with these 85 million as the foundation, it's no problem to do it first." The funding gap is more than 200 million, but in reality it is not that much. In the past few days, I have taken a closer look along the planned ring road and found that many of the units that need to be demolished are industrial and mining enterprises in Pingchuan from the province and various central ministries. If we can get the understanding and support of these units, and let them solve the demolition costs themselves, then at least tens of millions of funds can be saved. Two-thirds of the ring road is in Minjiao County, Minjiao is the largest beneficiary county, and it is also the strongest county in Pingchuan's economic strength, if the city can persuade Cheng Weiqi in Minjiao to come up with tens of millions, the gap is about 100 million, and the maximum is not more than 130 million. ”

Shu Huaru patted the fence on the Changfeng Pavilion and said, "I think both methods are feasible. We didn't go up this ring road for ourselves. Whether it is the central ministry enterprises or provincial enterprises, are the beneficiaries, in Pingchuan they are also trapped by the road, now to make some contribution to the road, we do more work, it is estimated that they are willing. As for the suburbs, there is nothing to say, Lu Xiu has promoted the prosperity of your suburbs on the ground in your Cheng Weiqi's territory, don't you just pay for the two eldest sons? ”

Yan Changqi said: "If these measures can really be implemented, it should be said that there is no big problem on the four-lane secondary road." But Secretary Wu insisted on his opinion, we must go to the six-lane first-class road, and the roadbed should be 60 meters wide, which must be a problem in terms of funds, and the amount of demolition has also increased a lot. ”

Shu Huaru nodded: "Yes, the biggest problem in Pingchuan is the problem of funds. However, since the ring road has made up its mind, my opinion is to make the standard as high as possible. The times are developing, and the roads are better and wider, which is good for the future. Of course, this is just my personal opinion, the idea of going to the four-lane secondary road first, you can also put it forward at tomorrow's meeting, and everyone will discuss it! ”

Yan Changqi said: "Excuse me, this is the enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, it would be good to expand it to me, the deputy mayor outside the party, what else can I say?" You will carry out what your municipal party committee has decided. ”

Shu Huaru said: "Mayor Yan, you have to think about this, as soon as the ring road is launched, you have to catch it." Earlier, Secretary Wu suggested to me, and I also hope that you will arrest it. I can't catch it, I don't care if you're an insider or an outsider, anyway, I only know that you're the deputy mayor, so I'm the only one who asks. ”

Yan Changqi said: "It's easy for you to say! The demolition surface and workload of the entire ring road are so large, and there are so many contradictions, can I deal with it? At a critical time, who will buy me, the account of the deputy mayor outside the party? I don't have the right to remove who to replace whom, from the perspective of work, I think you and Secretary Wu should ask another Gao Ming. ”

Shu Huaru said solemnly: "Don't worry about this, Secretary Wu and I will be your backing." You, the vice mayor, have the power to do so, and you can make suggestions to Secretary Wu, to me, and to the organization department of the municipal party committee to remove and replace incompetent cadres. ”

Yan Changqi was a little moved, and then said: "Okay, good, I work hard, you and Secretary Wu trust me so much, what else do I have to say?" If you can't do it, you can withdraw me first. ”
