When the water conservancy fund-raising was in full swing, it was only a little more than a month for Shangdequan to be transferred from Yunhai City to Hetian County.

In Yunhai City, Shangde served as the mayor and deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, and was the second-in-command, and went to Hetian County as the secretary of the county party committee and became the number one. The difference between this first and second in command is significant. Be the second-in-command, there is a hand in front of you, you don't need to worry much about many things, even if something goes wrong, the first board can't hit your ass. It's different to be a leader, you have to take the idea of big and small things, you are responsible for mistakes, and the people scold your mother and scold your mother by name. As soon as Shang Dequan arrived, he immediately understood this. Therefore, he was very cautious after he arrived, and reported all major matters to the old secretary Chen Zhongyang in advance, and there were some uncertain problems, and he quietly hung up the phone to discuss with Mi Changshan, his old partner in Yunhai City.

At the beginning, Mi Changshan also helped Shang Dequan get some big ideas, but then he got annoyed and said: "Dequan, you kid should be a little bolder, and your mind should be emancipated, don't be Liu Adou who can't be helped!" In order to mention you, at the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, our old secretary even cleaned up his old face. If you don't argue, can you be worthy of Secretary Chen? You must remember that you are now the number one, the feudal official of Hetian County, and you can't be such a mother-in-law anymore. It's not that you don't know, you are the secretary of the Hetian County Party Committee, Xiao Daoqing has a lot of opinions, and he always says that you are incapable. ”

Shang Dequan said: "Secretary Mi, I really don't want to be the number one mile in this way." ”

Mi Changshan said: "Okay, okay, don't put garlic on me." If you don't want to be this leader, what are you running to Secretary Chen?! ”

Shangde had nothing to say, so he had to work hard. For the old secretary Chen Zhongyang's love for him, he has to work hard. Now, the old secretary has become the commander-in-chief of the water conservancy project, and Hetian County, which he presides, must not delay the project. It is unreasonable to delay the project in public or private.

In fact, it dragged its feet.

Hetian is not a sea of clouds or a suburb of the people, although it is not as financially upside down as the desert county, but it is not as rich as the suburbs and the sea of clouds, the water conservancy fund-raising funds cannot be raised, and the 100,000 migrant workers are not organized in place. There seems to be interference from local forces, but it makes Shang Dequan unclear. Zeng He, deputy county magistrate in charge of agriculture and water conservancy, said to Shang Dequan that the water conservancy project has a small area to benefit from, and it is unreasonable to spend so much money and so much work. Shang Dequan told Chen Zhongyang this, and Chen Zhongyang immediately scolded people. Shang Dequan said that this was said by the deputy county magistrate.

Chen Zhongyang was still angry at Shangde: "I don't care who says it, I'm only looking for you to ask!" Again, it is not allowed to violate the policy, and it is necessary to collect the money and organize 100,000 migrant workers. How to do the work, you Shangde will find a way! I suggest that the city party committee put you in Hetian, not to let you bargain with me or with the city party committee, but to let you lead the group of people of the county party committee to make more contributions. ”

Shang Dequan said: "Some comrades suggested, if it doesn't work, they should move hard. ”

Chen Zhongyang said: "What is hard? Let me remind you that Secretary Wu has said in advance that he must do good things well, and he must not engage in the Kuomintang style under any circumstances. If there is a vicious incident such as going to the house to uncover the tiles and entering the house to pick up grain, the top leader of the place will not do it! ”

Shang Dequan said: "Old secretary, then what do you say I should do?" ”

Chen Zhongyang was really angry: "I have to say everything, what do you want you to do with Shangdequan?" Free your mind and find a way to solve it! ”

As a result of emancipating one's mind and thinking of a way, he came up with the idea of "boiling the eagle," that is, gathering all the township and town mayors in the county who had not completed the task of raising funds and organizing migrant workers in the county party committee compound to study and improve their thinking. There is only one criterion for improving thinking: whether the task has been completed. Which township has completed the task, and which township has the head of the township left; If you can't complete the task, continue to study, and work day and night. The county has three meals a day, plus meals at night, and an extra bowl of instant noodles.

According to Shang Dequan's idea, the mind can be emancipated a little more, the intensity can be increased, and even the party committee secretaries of townships and towns can let them study. The county magistrate Xia Zhonghe disagreed, saying that he had brought the first and second leaders of the township to be hostages, and there would be no one to work below, and we couldn't raise this one.

The county magistrate, Xia Zhonghe, explicitly mentioned the word "hostage", which made Shang Dequan very unhappy to hear it. But Shangde is not good at all, this "eagle" has to be boiled by the two of them, people are not very happy to do this, and he will start a temper at this time, isn't he looking for trouble? So, I endured it.

At that time, Shang Dequan did not expect that something would happen. Holding a meeting is the style of the Communist Party, but not the style of the Kuomintang. He didn't call the people below to go up to the house to uncover the tiles and go into the house to pick up grain; The principles and policies of the municipal party committee and the municipal party committee were not only truthfully conveyed, but also issued a document No. 18 in the name of the county party committee. I did this because I was afraid that something would happen below.

Unexpectedly, there was no accident below, but there was an accident in the county and an accident at the venue.

It was a matter of the morning of the third day of the so-called meeting.

Two days, two nights, and more than 50 hours have passed, and the documents of the city party committee and the big articles in the "Pingchuan Daily" have been read no less than dozens of times, and most of the township and town mayors have improved their ideological consciousness and have been taken back by the party committee secretaries who have completed their tasks.

At this time, the warm and amiable sunlight had entered the small conference room of Hetian County for the third time, and Shang Dequan opened his small eyes, which were already blood-red like lamps, in the dappled sunlight, and asked the seven or eight township mayors scattered in different corners of the conference room to cheer up.

Although he was tired, Shang Dequan was still in a very happy mood at this time. After all, most of the task has been completed, and he can explain to the old secretary Chen Zhongyang, which is better than anything.

Facing the last seven or eight township mayors, Shang Dequan actually had the idea of joking, yawned and said to Xia Zhonghe: "County Magistrate Xia, it seems that holding a meeting is a good way, and many problems can be solved at the venue." ”

Xia Zhonghe wanted to say something, but it was hard to say, so he only shook his head at Shang Dequan and smiled bitterly.

Shang Dequan said again that this time he said to the seven or eight township mayors at the meeting: "You all say that it is not a matter of ideological consciousness, but that there are practical difficulties, but if you want me to see it, in the final analysis, it is still a problem of ideological consciousness. With the ideological consciousness raised, what difficulties cannot be overcome? Was it difficult for our party to be in Jinggangshan back then? Difficult, of course. Why did we seize power with such difficulty? It is because our party has a high degree of ideological consciousness. ”

Tao Xueshan, the head of Zhangwang Township, sat crookedly on the chair and said weakly: "Secretary Shang, our ideological consciousness is so low, your county party committee simply removed us." I don't care about others, you can withdraw me, I have said this since yesterday morning. ”

Shang Dequan said: "Didn't I say it yesterday morning? None of us want to withdraw, just to help you raise your ideological consciousness. Everyone is an old comrade, and it is not that they do not know the policies of our party. We have always been strict in ideological criticism and lenient in organizational handling. ”

Tao Xueshan was about to cry: "Secretary Shang, County Magistrate Xia, can you resign even if I resign?" I'm fifty-nine years old this year, and I'm almost there. ”

Shang Dequan said: "Township Chief Tao, let me ask you, if you are in a war, in the face of the enemy's guns, what kind of behavior do you also say?" It's an act of apostasy! It is not a question of resignation, but of expulsion from the party. Now it's also a war, a people's war of the nineties! Your resignation now is an apostasy! ”

Xia Zhonghe had already seen that Tao Xueshan's situation was not right at this time, pulled Shang Dequan's clothes, and whispered: "Secretary Shang, I think let Township Chief Tao and them go back, after all, it has been two days and two nights." ”

Shang Dequan didn't listen, waved his hand, and said to Xiao Liu of the Propaganda Department of the county party committee: "It's better to read the newspaper and read the "Historical Mission of the Pingchuan People in the Nineties" again. ”

As soon as he heard that he had to read the newspaper endlessly, Jiang Fengming, the mayor of Fangcun Town, hurriedly said: "Wait, wait, my ideological consciousness has improved, it must have improved, let me call Fangcun again, I estimate that our Secretary Bai has almost implemented the money and migrant workers." ”

In order to facilitate the comrades' consciousness, Shang Dequan's service was thoughtful, and three telephones were temporarily installed in the small conference room.

Jiang Fengming connected to Fang Village, and said to Secretary Bai with a crying voice: "Lao Bai, we have been friends for many years, haven't we?" You've always worked well together, haven't you? Don't you play with me this time, dude? If my consciousness is not raised, you can prepare a stretcher! Okay, okay, it's up to you. ”

Putting down the phone, Jiang Fengming had a smile on his face, and said to Shang Dequan: "Secretary Shang, there is no problem with our village, Secretary Bai will come over immediately, the migrant workers are all organized, and the payment is almost the same, so I will come over this morning." Do you think I'm here? ”

Before Shang Dequan could say anything, Xia Zhonghe had already expressed his attitude first: "Okay, Mayor Jiang, you can go." ”

Although Shang Dequan said that he was not happy, because Xia Zhonghe had already expressed his attitude, he had to wave his hand and let him go.

Jiang Fengming walked out of the door of the conference room, got into his broken jeep, and fell asleep, and Fang Village's money for labor did not arrive until three days later. Jiang Fengming and Secretary Bai of Fangcun deceived the party and the organization for the first time.

Just as Jiang Fengming's broken jeep galloped out of the county party committee compound, something happened in the conference room: Tao Xueshan, the 59-year-old head of Zhangwang Township, passed out in a coma while reading the newspaper in Langlang. What's more serious is that no one found Tao Xueshan's coma. Shang Dequan was napping, Xia Zhonghe was napping, everyone thought that Tao Xueshan was also napping, and when Shang Dequan asked Tao Xueshan by name to talk about acquaintance, he found that Tao Xueshan had swallowed his breath.

Shang Dequan's face turned white all of a sudden, and he had stayed up for two days and two nights, and he was exhausted, and when Zhang Luo rescued Tao Xueshan, his eyes were dark and he fainted.

This is the end of the unprecedentedly long meeting.

According to a later investigation by the city party committee, the meeting lasted 56 hours and 45 minutes.

Four days later, six township and town mayors headed by Jiang Fengming jointly filed a complaint with Wu Mingxiong, secretary of the city party committee, and Xiao Daoqing, deputy secretary in charge of discipline inspection, demanding that the Pingchuan city party committee seriously deal with Shang Dequan, secretary of the Hetian county party committee, who violated the work spirit of the city party committee and forced people to die.
