Chapter 444: Poor Mountains and Bad Waters

As the name suggests, Fengjiatun is a small village with the surname Feng as the main villager.

Although it is only more than 30 kilometers away from the urban area of Xihua City, it took Chen Youwei and his entourage three hours to reach this remote mountain village.

The difficult and dangerous sections of the ravines were all over the place, and even the tractor was useless after reaching the peak, so Chen Youwei and the others simply walked forward directly.

The secretary of the Jiumiao Township Party Committee and the township mayor rarely come here on weekdays, and they have long experienced the bad traffic here in Fengjiatun, but in front of many higher-level leaders, even if they have the heart to retreat, they can only grit their teeth and go down.

Chen Youwei was very well prepared for today's trip, the leather shoes on his feet had already been replaced by light sneakers, and the gradually steep hills could not stop his determination to go deep into the grassroots.

Tian Gang, who had a complicated mind, followed behind the young mayor in a bit of a daze, and the sonorous and powerful words of the young mayor kept echoing in his mind.

Although he didn't quite understand how he got into the other party's field of vision, Tian Gang, who was a little excited, could be sure that the young mayor's words just now were definitely not joking with himself.

Tian Gang's frowning serious appearance made Hu Changjie beside him smile slightly.

Since becoming the most personal manager of Chen Youwei, he didn't have much ideas before, and his understanding of the connotation of his current work has become more and more profound.

Initially becoming secretary general of the municipal government, Hu Changjie simply positioned himself in the role of director of the young mayor's office.

As he learned more about his boss, and the more he understood the power structure and game situation of Spring City, he gradually understood that his role was definitely not just about serving tea and water to the young mayor.

No matter how bad Hu Changjie's life has been in the past two years, he is also the backbone of the local faction in Chuncheng. Even if there is not much for him to play for a while, when he officially becomes Chen Youwei's powerful right-hand man, Hu Changjie's advantage of knowing the situation in Spring City, especially Xihua City, is fully revealed.

Hu Changjie saw the position of the young mayor in the power structure of Spring City very clearly, and if he was a different person, I am afraid that he would show pessimism at the first time.

There are a total of eleven standing committee members on the Standing Committee of the Chuncheng Municipal Party Committee, and Chen Youwei, the young mayor, can directly control the number of votes at a glance. If it weren't for the fact that the young mayor who knew how to do the long sleeves and was good at dancing indirectly influenced the number of votes that would have been enough to compete with the Nanjia side, Hu Changjie would really feel bleak about his political future.

It is precisely by seeing the current power structure in Spring City clearly that Hu Changjie has a clear understanding of the current thinking of his immediate boss. The Standing Committee of the Chuncheng City CPC Committee is now in a-for-tat confrontation, forming a temporary balance, and if it wants to have more say, it can only find broad support at the grassroots level in the broader districts and counties.

Many of the first and second leaders in the five districts, one city and four counties of Chuncheng are either close to the Dong family or cut off the connection with the Nan family, and in this case, there is not much room for Chen Youwei to play.

Chen Youwei's current attention is naturally focused on some influential cadres under the district and county, but they have not been reused for the time being.

Qi Hong, secretary of the Xihua City Municipal Party Committee at the deputy department level, can be said to cover the sky with one hand in the entire Xihua City, and Tian Gang, the deputy mayor in charge of agriculture, is just a deputy department-level cadre who is not even a member of the municipal standing committee.

Chen Youwei has a very different view, with a person like Hu Changjie who has a thorough understanding of the situation in Xihua City, but anyone with some ability is a rare and embarrassing talent in his eyes.

Chen Youwei thought very thoroughly, now he is more in the stage of accumulating grain and becoming king in Chuncheng, and he does not have a solid mass foundation, even if he can gain the upper hand in the Standing Committee of the Standing Committee, so what?

Without a group of good execution of the backbone of the force as a support, no matter how many ideas to the grassroots can not be implemented, if there is a top-heavy situation, once the opponent grasps the weakness, I am afraid the outcome will be even more ugly.

Turning a small hill, a small mountain village with smoke in front of me appeared in front of me.

Su Qun, Secretary of the Party Committee of Jiumiao Township, wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned around and smiled at Chen Youwei and said, "Mayor Chen, there is Fengjiatun in front, and we are just in time for lunch." ”

Chen Youwei, who was physically strong, stopped with a relaxed face, looked back at the people who had already been stretched apart, and shouted loudly: "Comrades, hold on, the front will be at the destination!" ”

Hu Changjie and Tian Gang, who are mostly in their forties and fifties, and who usually lack exercise, are panting and sweating, and it is easy to get to Chen Youwei to stand still.

"Mayor Chen is really enviable, this strong body is really not to say!" Tian Gang gasped with envy.

Chen Youwei smiled at the other party's heartfelt compliments, and said with a calm smile: "After all, County Magistrate Tian, you are old there, and most of the people you are engaged in on weekdays are mental work, but it's good to exercise more when you have time!" ”

Hu Changjie took out a cigarette from his pocket and walked around everyone, took a deep puff, recovered some physical strength with the extremely exciting smell of tobacco, shook his head and smiled: "What the mayor said is that it is really time to exercise well, in the past, when I was the county magistrate in Xihua, I often went to the countryside, and my physical strength was much stronger than now!" ”

"Ahem, as soon as the two leaders said this, I was ashamed, although I often go to the countryside, it seems that there is still some distance from the requirements of the leaders!" Tian Gang patted his ass tactfully.

Chen Youwei smiled slightly, this Tian Gang is still a wonderful person, although he adheres to principles in his big position, this occasional little flattery is probably also a small prop for him to protect himself.

The inspection team of more than 10 people had not yet entered Fengjiatun before it attracted the attention of all the villagers of this small mountain village of more than 100 households.

Perhaps seeing that the two main township cadres of Jiumiao Township were there, Feng Mancang, the village party secretary of Fengjiatun, soon appeared in front of everyone.

"You are the village party secretary of Fengjiatun?"

Chen Youwei stretched out his big hand to shake hands with the other party and smiled: "I am Chen Youwei, the mayor of Chuncheng!" ”

Feng Mancang, who had never seen any big names, was a little stunned for a while, Mayor Chuncheng? What kind of character is this?

Su Qun, secretary of the Party Committee of Jiumiao Township, gritted his teeth angrily by Feng Mancang, who was quite shrewd on weekdays, you old Feng Tou can't give Lao Tzu a long face?!

Feng Mancang, who was glared at by Su Qun, finally came to his senses, and held Chen Youwei's big hand tightly with both hands and said, "Ah, hello Mayor Chen, I was still thinking about the fact that we don't have Mayor Chen in Xihua City just now." It turns out that Mayor Chen is from the provincial capital! ”

Feng Mancang's face was full of wrinkles, and the whole person looked much older than his actual age, not much different from the ordinary old farmers in the countryside, and his bright and narrow eyes gave people a cunning feeling of a traditional farmer.

"Old Fengtou, hurry up and prepare some lunch, coming to you from the city will make Mayor Chen very tired!" After all, it is his own territory, and Su Qun must show his due attitude in these inconspicuous little things.

Feng Mancang nodded again and again, revealing a big tooth with a crack in the door, and said with a smile: "There is coarse tea and light rice in the countryside, please bear with the leaders!" ”

Chen Youwei waved his hand kindly and said: "Feng Zhishu is polite, let's eat as much as you want, don't prepare anything special!" ”

"Secretary-General Hu, I'll hand over the food money to Secretary Feng later!" Chen Youwei turned around and instructed Hu Changjie.

Feng Mancang was taken aback, and waved his hand again and again: "Either way, or not, the leaders come to us, and they are all distinguished guests who can't be invited on weekdays." Where can we still collect money from the leaders? ”

Su Qun and others were also surprised, twenty years ago, this style may have been very common, but now wherever there is a leader, everyone in the local area is hospitalized, where is there still a saying that they pay for themselves.

Tian Gang couldn't help but think of the luxurious feast of delicacies and delicacies enjoyed by Jiang Zhenbang, secretary of the municipal party committee, in Xihua City a month ago. Looking back at the harsh environment in the deep countryside at this moment, this strong contrast has always been overturned in his heart.

"In this way, we will eat what the masses eat, so that we can go deep into the grassroots, and at the same time, we can experience the real feelings of the people at the bottom!" Chen Youwei waved his hand and said in a firm tone.

Chen Youwei said this, everyone naturally had no other ideas, and Feng Mancang immediately ordered someone to arrange the lunch of these distinguished guests.

"This mountain land belongs to Fengjiatun, and the mountain beam is the boundary of Xingping County next door, and the outside of a small mountain beam is no longer the boundary of our Spring City!" Perhaps seeing that Chen Youwei's interest was very high, the secretary of the Jiumiao Township Party Committee talked endlessly about the basic situation of Fengjiatun.

"There is very little arable land here in Fengjiatun, do they have any other side jobs?" Chen Youwei's eyes were heavy, he glanced at the small mountain village that was almost surrounded by mountains, and sighed.

"Fengjiatun's per capita land is less than one-third of the land, and there were still some trees on these small hills, which were cut down a lot in the past when the steel was smelting. Now they have planted some fruit trees, but you have also seen the mayor, the poor mountains and bad waters, just this broken road, even if they have fruits, they can't transport them! ”

Tian Gang interjected next to him: "There are not one or two villages like Fengjiatun, but such problems are common in these places with inconvenient transportation. ”

Chen Youwei bowed slightly, and suddenly asked, "How is the progress of the rural subsistence allowance work in Xihua City?" The state now has some basic rural security systems, but the key lies in the implementation of the system by your grassroots comrades! ”

Tian Gang couldn't intervene in this work, and Su Qun and Wang Shengli, the head of Jiumiao Township, were eyes flickering, and they couldn't say clearly.

Chen Youwei sighed in his heart, this is probably the basic national condition of China now.

In places that have been impoverished for a long time, especially in rural areas, any little money will be immediately divided up by those wolf-like local governments.

Judging from the situation in Jiumiao Township, I am afraid that very few of the subsistence allowance and poverty alleviation funds that have been allocated from the treasury in Chuncheng City have really been implemented.

Standing at the head of the village and looking back at the somewhat barren and lonely small mountain villages, Chen Youwei's eyes were deep.

Something may have come to an urgent time!
