Volume 3 Chapter 90 Candidate for Deputy Mayor?!
。 When Lu Zhengdong was there to pay the hostess of the farmhouse to see the car, a group of people came over with a child crying. The hostess sighed, "What kind of sin is this?"
Lu Zhengdong looked at it and asked:
"What's going on?"
The hostess sighed and said:
"Isn't this a big flood, the primary school in the township was flooded, the house was washed away, and the one who was crushed to death, if it wasn't for the teacher's quick transfer, there would be only three children buried there, these officials are really black-hearted, they have never seen a shortage of money to eat and drink, and they know that the school's house will collapse if there is no water, and they don't give some money to repair it......"
The hostess was looking for money for him, while chattering, Lu Zhengdong looked at the group of people who were in pain, and his heart was also full of compassion, the implementation of family planning, many families are only children, the only seedling in the family is their hope, and for family planning, many married men in the countryside have been sterilized, once the child is gone, it is likely that he will be cut off, and their hope will be ruthlessly stifled......
It is said that no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education, and no matter how hard you are, you can't be miserable for children, but it's one thing, but it's another thing in fact, but Lu Zhengdong can only be silent, he is not a savior, and he is powerless to change this status quo......
The cave distress is a small episode, and what should be done has to be done, after Lu Zhengdong implemented the poverty alleviation funds from the Ministry of Finance and the Poverty Alleviation Office of the State Council, as well as the special poverty alleviation funds given by the province to Long Beach City for the training of rural poor families. Back to Long Beach.
The following districts and counties and some relevant departments in the city have a very sensitive sense of smell, and soon learned the news through various channels, so they came to the door, Lu Zhengdong welcomed all the people who came to fight, but did not give a very positive answer, but did not trigger it.
Lu Zhengdong naturally didn't want to eat Kana, but this kind of thing was too easy, and the other party took it for granted, and there is a saying that things that are too easy to get will not be cherished. If you don't do it well, you will embezzle funds or be less motivated in the implementation of the project, which will have some negative effects, so he gave these people a flexible explanation, asking them to make some commitments before they can relax.
As a result, several economically backward counties even came forward to fight for it. Even Deputy Mayor Zhou Tianfang came to the door.
"Zhengdong, I came to the door to ask for help, I have been forced by someone recently, which makes me annoyed, but I dare not offend. I'm also cornered, Zhengdong, this time I must help fight for some poverty alleviation funds in education. ”
Lu Zhengdong couldn't help but be surprised:
"Who in the city has eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall and dared to threaten the dignified deputy mayor? and forced people to be cornered......"
Zhou Tianfang's three words explained the intention.
Zhou Tianfang is in charge of science, education, culture, and health, but now the city and county finances are not sufficient, and there is very little investment in education. Many rural primary and secondary school buildings in Long Beach City have become dilapidated buildings, and the city has discussed them several times, and they seem to attach great importance to them, but the matter of appropriation has not been implemented for a long time, and there is a lot of rain in the West River this year. Many of the teaching buildings, which are already in danger, are even more crumbling.
Zhou Tianfang smiled bitterly:
"There are not many people who dare to threaten me, the deputy mayor, but some people threaten when they threaten, and I have to greet them with a smile. Zhang Jiyuan: Have you heard of it? ”
"I don't think I've heard anyone mention it there, but I'm not impressed."
"Zhang Jiyuan is not a leading cadre, he was originally just a special teacher in a normal school, and it is normal that you are not familiar with it. It's just that he also has several titles, a deputy to the National People's Congress for three consecutive terms, a member of the democratic party, and a member of the Municipal Committee for the Care of the Next Generation. This matter was submitted to the city by the head of the project, so he was very interested in ...... "...,
Lu Zhengdong couldn't help but nod when he heard this, although Zhang Jiyuan had no official position, but as a representative of the National People's Congress, that is, a banner in the city's education circles, Zhou Tianfang did not dare to be disrespectful to him.
"And. Zhang Jiyuan is full of peach and plums, and now many cadres in the city are from his name, and if he is offended, maybe this election will be ugly......"
Zhou Tianfang is right, after the reform and opening up, it was proposed that cadres should be educated, and in a relatively backward place like Long Beach, the largest group of intellectuals is teachers, so many teachers have taken leadership positions in the past ten years and become a backbone of the city's cadres. Coupled with Zhang Jiyuan's status as a deputy to the National People's Congress, his appeal should not be underestimated.
It's just that the funding for education has nothing to do with the Office of Poverty Alleviation, so he said with a smile:
"Mayor Zhou, the best funds for education are to find the Provincial Department of Education to fight for it, it's really not good, grinding the Municipal Finance Bureau Lao Zhang, should also be able to get some, a century-old plan, education-oriented, the city's finance is no matter how difficult it is, and priority should be given to investing in education. I'm here for the Poverty Alleviation Office, and the main target is still the peasants, this is to ask the Buddha to enter the sister-in-law nunnery, and enter the wrong temple gate......"
Zhou Tianfang shook his head:
"I also know that the Poverty Alleviation Office is not mainly doing this, but Lao Li of the Finance Bureau is also Secretary Liu and Mayor Xiao? If there are other places to think of a way, I won't be worried like this, I know that you have a wide path and many ways, so you have to find a way. ”
Lu Zhengdong smiled:
"Then lead him to Mayor Yang and the old Zhang of the Finance Bureau."
Mayor Yang is in charge of finance, and the Finance Bureau is in charge of appropriations, which is playing ball, which is the usual method of people in officialdom.
Zhou Tianfang shook his head:
"Zhang Jiyuan also looked for Yang Changchang, who was in charge of finance, and the executive director pushed it to Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang, who said that the budget for education was formulated at the beginning of the year, and it was squeezed from the budget for education, but the budget for education was already pitiful, and the budget for the whole year had already been spent.
Lu Zhengdong heard Zhou Tianfang say this. I also hesitated in my heart, the principle of walking in the officialdom was that everyone swept the snow in front of the door and didn't care about the frost on the tiles of others, not their own business, the farther away the better, but Zhou Tianfang had a different relationship with him, and when he was in distress in the mountains, Lu Zhengdong saw the children who passed by, I am afraid that those children died under the dangerous house, and his heart was also a little touched, it was a fresh life, and he couldn't do anything about what happened in Gaotang. But in Long Beach, within his reach, he should still be able to do something for these children.
Zhou Tianfang saw Lu Zhengdong listening to him talking, and he seemed to have some affection:
"An Zhiqiu is in charge of the economy, the investment is so large, the economy is also stagnant, the fiscal revenue has not improved in the slightest, and Long Beach is now a river ...... down."
Lu Zhengdong was also a little silent. The city is trying its best to concentrate the funds and resources that can be concentrated, and wants to stimulate economic growth, but the effect is not good, and An Zhiqiu, who is in charge of the economy, is the first to bear the brunt. In fact, the root is still in Liu Jianzhong, the problem is in the first three rows, and the root is still on the rostrum, but An Zhiqiu does lack some ability, which is also an indisputable fact. The cadres below did not dare to point the finger at Liu Jianzhong, but they always had to find someone to vent, and An Zhiqiu was the best candidate.
Zhou Tian let go of such a complaint, I'm afraid I also thought in my heart, just let him do it on Sunday. I'm afraid it's a lot stronger than An Zhiqiu, maybe Zhou Tianxin wants to be in charge of the economic ......... when the division of labor of the city government is adjusted after the election.
Regardless of whether Zhou Tianfang has some other thoughts, this matter is always a good thing, Lu Zhengdong pondered for a long time before saying:
"The funds needed to renovate the school's dilapidated teaching building are too great, and I have limited ways to do it here."
Zhou Tianfang also nodded:
"I know that Zhang Jiyuan didn't expect to solve it all at once. I didn't expect to solve it, Zhang Jiyuan meant to reinforce the dilapidated houses that were really dangerous. ”
Lu Zhengdong also understood when he heard it, Zhang Jiyuan's idea was actually Zhou Tianfang's idea, and Zhou Tianfang was actually also worried about what happened to the dilapidated house in the school in this rainy season, after all, there will be an election soon, not to mention, if something big happens, he, as the leader in charge, will definitely bear the corresponding leadership responsibility.
Such an idea also coincides with Lu Zhengdong. To really solve the problem of school dilapidated buildings, it is necessary to cooperate with many parties, and the current reality is that the danger can only be eliminated first.
"That's it, it's difficult for the Education and Poverty Alleviation Office to hook up, I'll see if I can think of a way from other channels, but I still need to find a more adequate reason, so let's put it, when Mayor Zhou is free, make an appointment with this Teacher Zhang, let's discuss it well, old leader, rest assured, I will try my best to fight for it, but I don't dare to pack a ticket to get it, I can only do my best......"
Lu Zhengdong thought of his little aunt in the Ministry of Education, he rarely spoke once, although he also knew that no matter how much, as long as he opened his mouth, he would still be able to get some fate, but before it was implemented, he would definitely leave some leeway.
"Okay, whether it succeeds or not, thank you Zhengdong."
Zhou Tian smiled and said goodbye.
Lu Zhengdong also took this matter to heart, first blowing the wind on his aunt in the capital, and on the other hand, he also began to arrange the poverty alleviation projects that had been won over.
After taking care of the following counties, Lu Zhengdong also basically allocated these projects, the principle is to choose the most suitable place for the conditions, and at the same time take into account the actual situation, although he has won back a lot of poverty alleviation funds for the city this year, but after all, resources are still scarce, this thing is not a small number of uneven people, if the heads and brains in the following counties have a view, it is completely counterproductive, so in the end, the rain and dew are evenly wet, and even the most developed Yanghe has also given the project, At the same time, the projects and funds are tilted towards several really poor counties, which have never had one at all, and they are overjoyed to get a project, while the economically backward counties have received a lot more poverty alleviation projects and funds than in previous years, and in the end everyone is happy.
After doing this, Lu Zhengdong called several deputies and the middle level of the poverty alleviation office together for a meeting and asked them to follow up.
Although it is very hard to follow up the project, the poverty alleviation office is very motivated from top to bottom. Second, Lu Zhengdong is actively trying to solve the problem of the house for the staff of the Poverty Alleviation Office, which makes everyone even more excited. This is completely different from the predecessor who only called and never thought about their life or death.
If you want the horse to run. I have to give the horses grass.
When Lu Zhengdong returned to the office, he couldn't help but think about it when he saw that everyone was in a good mood. Just thinking about it, he saw an old man standing at the door of his office, arguing with Xiao Li in the office, so he asked:
"Xiao Li, what's the matter?"
"Director Lu, I said that you were in a meeting, but this old comrade didn't believe it, so he had to go into your office to have a look. You see, you should believe it by now, right? ”
When the old man heard Xiao Li say, he also turned his head to look at him, and said:
"I heard that Director Lu is very young, but I didn't expect to see it, even younger than I imagined...... I'm Zhang Jiyuan, Mayor Zhou mentioned me in front of Director Lu, right? ”…,
Lu Zhengdong smiled and nodded, it is estimated that Zhang Jiyuan heard the letter from Zhou Tianfang, and he couldn't wait to come first. This old man is really an anxious man, and he made a gesture of invitation and said:
"Teacher Zhang, please come in."
Zhang Jiyuan is a relatively thin old man, dressed very ordinarily, if he does not wear glasses, it is not easy to associate him with intellectuals.
Entering the door, Lu Zhengdong beckoned Zhang Jiyuan to sit down. While making tea for Zhang Jiyuan by himself.
"Director Lu, don't mind what happened just now, alas, I'm a plague god now, annoying. A lot of people are afraid to see me in the office but say they're not there......"
Zhang Jiyuan gave him a cigarette very politely and explained to him carefully.
Lu Zhengdong smiled and said:
"Teacher Zhang, don't say that, I've already heard Mayor Zhou talk about things, you are a teacher that everyone respects, and it's even more amazing to run so much for the children. It is indeed very dangerous for children to study under such a dilapidated house, and if Mr. Zhang wants to do this, I think the children will thank you, and the parents will also be grateful to you. ”
"It's really nothing to be grateful or not, the point is to think about the children in a classroom like that, and if something happens, it's a big deal. As soon as I thought of this, I couldn't sleep well, hehe, although Director Lu was young, he was really good, at least he didn't let me eat behind closed doors. ”
"Teacher Zhang is too polite, I am a junior in front of you, you can call me Xiaolu or Zhengdong......"
Lu Zhengdong still put himself very low in front of such an old-timer, and after a few greetings, he turned to the topic:
"Teacher Zhang, you also know that I am here in the Poverty Alleviation Office, and it is definitely unrealistic to solve big problems."
Zhang Jiyuan was stunned, sighed slightly, and said:
"What Director Lu mean, you can't think of a way here?"
Lu Zhengdong saw that Zhang Jiyuan obviously understood what he meant, the deep helplessness hidden behind the lenses, and looked at Zhang Yuanji's polite and cautious appearance, which made Lu Zhengdong feel a little sad in his heart - this is obviously a problem that the government should pay attention to and solve, but a teacher who was originally respected ran to appeal but was blinded.
Looking at the old professor in front of him, who was not good-looking, he knew that he had made many people uncomfortable by doing this, but he still continued to persevere, and was able to hold on to his beliefs with his own conscience, Lu Zhengdong admired the tenacity of this old gentleman very much, no matter what aspect he said, such a person is always worthy of respect.
Lu Zhengdong saw Zhang Jiyuan's disappointed look, so he didn't make a detour:
"I can only try to solve a part of the funds here, and if I really want to solve the problem, I can't hang myself from this tree......"
When Zhang Jiyuan heard this, his originally gloomy face suddenly became vivid again:
"So, Director Lu, can you think of some ways here?"
Lu Zhengdong nodded:
"The number will not be very large, it is estimated that it will be hundreds of thousands, so I will make the emergency process of this matter clear, and the report will be typed, and it is estimated that it will not be long before it will come down."
When Zhang Jiyuan heard this, he rubbed his hands again and again, and said:
"It's a lot, oops, to be honest, I've begged my father to sue my grandmother in the past two years, but I haven't asked for a penny, hundreds of thousands of things can be done, at least there are dozens of schools that can be reinforced. Thank you, Director Lu......"
Zhang Jiyuan stood up a little excitedly, and Lu Zhengdong hurriedly said:
"This is what I should do, I also went to school in the countryside when I was a child, and worked in the countryside, I know what the rural school is like, and I can do something for those children, that is how it should be, not to mention, the child represents the future, so that the rural children can better receive the education they deserve, and they can better get rid of poverty and become rich in the future, so to speak, that is also my part of the poverty alleviation work......"...,
Zhang Jiyuan listened and nodded again and again:
"Director Lu really understands people, if everyone thinks like Director Lu, things will be easier to do......"
Lu Zhengdong also shook his head secretly in his heart, in fact, everyone understands this truth, but more people choose to hang high and hang up without caring about themselves, or escape from ......
After the two of them discussed, Lu Zhengdong sent the happy Zhang Jiyuan out of the door......
――――――――――――
Lu Zhengdong was busy implementing poverty alleviation projects, time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, summer had passed, and it had entered a somewhat cool autumn, and the city's general election was gradually put on the agenda.
Lu Zhengdong felt that he had nothing to do with the re-election, and this was to vote, and he was a deputy to the Municipal People's Congress when he was in Yilan.
So it's basically a spectator mentality.
But Lu Zhengdong didn't expect that not much time before the opening of the Municipal People's Congress, Vice Minister Jiang of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee talked to him, meaning that he would also become one of the candidates for deputy mayor.
Lu Zhengdong was stunned at first, and then understood what his so-called deputy mayor candidate was about, that is, the so-called mismatch.
Elections are the main way to realize the party's organizational intentions and allocate cadres, and they are basically elections with very low competition under the control of superiors.
There is little difference between the electoral system and the method, the main leader is elected equally, and the deputy can be elected by difference, that is, the number of nominees of the elected person is more than the number of people who should be elected, but the excess difference is generally arranged for some people with low prestige or low qualifications to accompany the election, that is, the real supporting role of accompanying the prince to study, and the possibility of his election is not large, which is the so-called poor match.
This kind of blinding method is not on the table in the first place, and naturally there is no official explanation. Don't say that you can't find it on the text jiàn, and you can't find it in the dictionary...... (To be continued)
