June 30, 1998, 10:30 a.m. Lieshan County Party Committee

As soon as he saw Tian Liye in the meeting room of the county party committee, Sun Yadong noticed that Tian Liye had changed his clothes, changed into an old shirt that had been washed and yellowed on his upper body, wore a pair of blue pants on his lower body, and a pair of leather shoes were also old.

This simple outfit makes Sun Yadong look very pleasing to the eye.

Sun Yadong praised and said: "Okay, Secretary Tian, this is like a person who has come to do things!" ”

Tian Liye said with a smile: "Secretary Sun, I am also accepting the lessons of history: when I was working in Lieshan in the past, some old comrades put forward my opinions, thinking that I was dressed too foreign and could not mingle with the masses. ”

Sun Yadong said: "However, this outfit alone cannot guarantee that you will be able to mingle with the masses, and the key depends on the specific work." Tian Liye, I can tell you, there are a lot of eyes staring at you now! ”

Tian Liye said: "I know that I will strive to live up to the hopes of your leading comrades. ”

After chatting casually, everyone went to the county party committee hall to hold a meeting of the county's party and government cadres. Minister Gong of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee presided over the meeting, and Sun Yadong, on behalf of the Pingyang Municipal Party Committee, announced the appointment and dismissal of the new team in Lieshan and delivered a brief speech. After speaking, Sun Yadong originally wanted to leave, there were too many things to do in the task force, and Secretary Ma Wanli said that he would listen to his telephone report in the afternoon, and he had to prepare first. But seeing Tian Liye walking towards the podium with a ** face, he was a little relieved, afraid that this slinger would stab Lou Zi in his inaugural speech, so he sat patiently and stared at Tian Liye with scrutiny.

Tian Liye walked up to the stage, opened the notebook, and said without any big words:

"It's been six years, and the municipal party committee sent me to Lieshan again, and I felt a lot of emotion, and I almost didn't sleep all night. If you don't fall asleep, you have to think about the problem, what questions do you think? The first thing that comes to mind is the tremendous changes that have taken place in Lieshan in the past six years. I remember that when I was transferred out of Lieshan, Lieshan's economy was at a low ebb, and my thinking was relatively chaotic, and some things that were not problems became problems. The focus of conflict in Binh Duong is the private industrial park, and the focus of contention in Liol Son is the development of the new district. The surname society is still the surname capital, and the quarrel is very fierce. It was also in that year that Comrade Xiaoping's speech on his southern tour was published, and Lieshan seized this historical opportunity to develop the new area and promote the private economy......"

Sun Yadong's heart gradually hung up: This slocker, shouldn't he be trying to evaluate the merits of Geng Zijing and Zhao Chengquan? Speaking of Lieshan's achievements, how can you not mention Geng Zijing and Zhao Chengquan?

Sure enough, Tian Liye mentioned Geng Zijing and Zhao Chengquan:

“…… It should be admitted that Geng Zijing, the former secretary of the county party committee, and Zhao Chengquan, the former county magistrate, have done a lot of work for the economic development of Lieshan. Under the guidance of Comrade Xiaoping's speech on his southern tour, the cadres and masses of the whole county have made concerted efforts and struggled, and the economy of Lieshan has been raised to a higher level, which is a historical fact. We cannot deny that they have done useful work just because they are corrupt, and this is not the attitude of historical materialism. ”

Sun Yadong stretched his head in front of Minister Gong and asked, "What are Secretary Gao and Tian Liye talking about?" ”

Minister Gong said: "Secretary Gao made it clear that Geng Zijing's good experience in economic development should be summed up. ”

Sun Yadong smiled bitterly and shook his head, silent.

Tian Liye continued:

“…… If the economy is on the rise, does it mean that we can ignore the need for clean government? Does it mean that you can reach into the pockets of the state and make a big profit? Does it mean that power should not be subject to supervision? Apparently not. You are a responsible cadre of the party and the state, and it is your responsibility to ensure the safety of one party and bring one party to prosperity! You don't have the right to reach out to the state and the people. So, the second issue that comes to mind is the issue of clean government. ”

Speaking of clean government, Sun Yadong instinctively paid attention to it and wanted to hear what this slinger had to say.

Tian Liye really has a high opinion:

“…… Today, on the way to take up his post in Lieshan, the magistrate of Jinhua County reported to me that some of our cadres had privately reported losses for Geng Zijing and Zhao Chengquan, saying that so many people who were not inconsistencies had made a fortune, and Geng Zijing had made a small fortune. Some people also say that because the state does not have high salaries and incorruptible pensions, our cadres have repeatedly had problems. Isn't that right? Wrong! If you want to get rich and be self-employed, you don't want to be a servant of the people, don't be an official of the Communist Party! Today I can leave the words here, and whoever wishes to resign I approve it immediately. Are any of the comrades present willing to resign? If so, raise your hand? Didn't you? Good. What does this mean? This shows that the comrades still have the spirit of dedication. Of course, dedication is only one aspect, and the other point, which I would like to point out today, is that the country and the people have not treated us public servants badly! Six years ago, when I was the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection here, I said to some corrupt officials who had been investigated and punished: Don't call it a loss, you won't lose it! You are in a public car, and one is broken and one is replaced; lived in a public house, asked for one or two, and even arranged for his grandson; Eat the public, drink the public, and the salary is basically not used; The country and the people support you as a county magistrate or town mayor at least 100,000 or 200,000 a year! More than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan is not a small number, but even in an economically developed city like Pingyang, there are now 100,000 laid-off workers, and their monthly living expenses are only 170 yuan per person! In this case, do you still want the state to pay a high salary, is it realistic?! ”

Sun Yadong couldn't help but take the lead in applauding Tian Liye's words.

In an instant, the venue burst into applause.

After the applause subsided, Tian Liye continued: "...... So, don't be dissatisfied, we are in a much better position than the laid-off workers who are in the throes of reform! Therefore, the criminal behavior of Geng Zijing and Zhao Chengquan is intolerable by party discipline and state law, and the comrades present here please excuse them less, and fully support Secretary Sun and the comrades of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection in handling the case. ”

Sun Yadong whispered to Minister Gong: "This slinger seems to be a bit level!" ”

Minister Gong smiled: "Just look at the articles he wrote, Secretary Gao didn't use him wrong." ”

Sun Yadong said: "I have to look at ...... again"

Tian Liye is still saying: "...... When it comes to principles, I think of one thing: Last night, before I knew that I was going to serve in Lieshan, two comrades who claimed to be my old subordinates knew about it first, and they came to my house, Wuliangye and Yuxiyan, and moved a grocery store to my house! Now, I ask the comrades of the county party committee office to bring these things to the stage, and please enjoy them together! ”

Two comrades from the county party committee office responded by bringing four bottles of Wuliangye, four Yuxi cigarettes, and a pile of local specialties to the stage.

Tian Liye pointed to the colorful patches and said: "According to these two gift-giving comrades, these are all worthless things, so let's calculate the accounts now: the market price of Wuliangye is 360 yuan per bottle, and 4 bottles are 1,440 yuan; Yuxi smoke 420 pieces a piece, 4 pieces 1,680 pieces; The tobacco and alcohol alone are already 3,100 yuan. Let me ask: how much do you get paid a month? Is this the right gift for me? What's the intention? Are you two comrades coming to visit me, or are you coming to see the power in my hands? ”

Sun Yadong interjected: "Comrade Liye, of course they are here to visit the power in your hands, and they are on the wind!" ”

Tian Liye continued: "Secretary Sun has pointed out the essence of the problem, some people just don't accept the lesson, Geng Zijing's case is being handled, and they dare to do this!" How? Corruption has also come to the fore! These two comrades are sitting here today, and I will not name you first, but just give you a warning: There will be a next time, please let me go! These things on the stage, you will claim them after the meeting is over! I would like to state here: the power given to us by the people, we can neither retail nor wholesale! I ask all the comrades present here to look up to me on the issue of clean government and exercise real and effective supervision over me, the acting secretary of the county party committee! Starting today, the contingent of cadres in Lieshan must have a new look, and this contingent of cadres must be an honest and competent contingent that will lead the 1.1 million people of Lieshan to a higher level and cross the century! ”

Another round of applause rang out......
