Chapter 903: Forbearance or Conflict (II)
The Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau has not done in-depth research on the topic of rural non-point source pollution, and is also very unfamiliar with the small rural sewage treatment system. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
When Lao Peng, deputy director of the Environmental Protection Bureau, hurriedly returned to the office to convene various departments to discuss, and then urgently connected with the relevant households of the Provincial Environmental Protection Department, only then did he know that what Mayor Hou said was true, and indeed the Provincial Environmental Protection Department recently launched a policy specifically for rural non-point source pollution, and the state and province have funds, and of course local support is also needed.
After getting the exact news, Guan Yuanyue hurriedly reported to Hou Weidong.
When Hou Weidong received the reply, he raised his watch and looked at it, exactly twenty-six minutes had passed. He was satisfied with the speed of the environmental protection bureau's response, and said: "Today, you have to make a preparation, and you don't have time to make a feasibility study report for the project, but you need to come up with the basic situation of non-point source pollution in rural Maoyun, especially the non-point source pollution along the river in the urban area." My idea is to enlist the understanding and support of the Provincial Environmental Protection Department and build up the settlements along the river. ”
Guan Yuanyue said: "Let's take out the report as soon as possible." ”
Hou Weidong interrupted: "It's not as soon as possible, even if you stay up late, you have to take it out tomorrow, I will contact Director Zhao, and I will meet him in his office at eleven o'clock tomorrow morning, and Director Guan and Director Peng will come over to participate together." ”
After arranging a meeting with Director Zhao, Hou Weidong took the phone and returned to Guan Haiyang and Zhu Xiaoyong's table.
Guan Haiyang said: "Weidong is really dedicated. Many mayors break down these things to the deputy mayor, and the first leader supervises and inspects, so that they can advance or retreat. ”
Compared with Hou Weidong, Guan Haiyang is an old qualified department-level cadre who is about to take a back seat, so he becomes very free and easy when talking to Hou Weidong, which is quite a bit of a back-to-basics.
Hou Weidong didn't play in front of the old-timers, and said: "I just came to work in Maoyun, my foothold is not stable, and I am insufficient, and there is no big problem if I command in the government, but it is difficult to say whether I can really do a good job." I'm not yet at the level of strategizing and winning a thousand miles. ”
Guan Haiyang said: "This is the spirit of young leading cadres, we are already in the twilight. ”
Hou Weidong said the truth, but he only said half of the truth, and the more critical part was not spoken. He had views on Duan Yiyong, secretary of the municipal party committee, on the decision to vigorously develop the southern city, but as a member of the leading collective, he had to obey the decision of the standing committee. While obeying, he still tried his best to use the resources he could win to promote the construction of Beicheng in an orderly manner. Unlike the county government, the city government has a much larger financial plate, and it does not hinder the construction of the north city while developing the southern city.
Especially in the case of a large amount of investment in various projects by the state and Lingxi Province, many projects have been promoted by the municipal government and promoted by policies, which has become a task that Maoyun City has to complete.
Hou Weidong always remembered the situation when Yang Linlin, the magistrate of Yiyang County, took office, and he warned himself at that time to avoid such a state of being too tough and sharp on the outside, but to achieve his strategic goals in a more rational, gentler and stronger way.
Politics must be compromised.
Compromise, not cowardice, but another form of perseverance.
After breaking up with Guan Haiyang, Zhu Ziyong and Yu Liang, Hou Weidong did not return to Maodong, but stood on the edge of the reservoir and called his wife first.
"Husband, where are you? Why do you have the leisure to call me. "Xiaojia used to work in the municipal department, mainly focusing on business, relatively simple. Now that he is the deputy county magistrate in charge of culture, education and health, he is entangled in all kinds of trivial matters every day, and he is so busy that he still feels that things are piling up.
Hou Weidong bent down and picked up a stone, hit a water drift, and said: "I was in the Bayi Reservoir, I didn't do anything, I drank a little wine, and now I am playing in the water." ”
Xiao Jia said with emotion: "You, who is the mayor, should sit in the office and take care of everything, and you are so anxious about money that you are worried, how can you still have the leisure to hide in the Bayi Reservoir." ”
Hou Weidong said: "This is the result of cultivation. If you become the secretary of the county party committee at the age of twenty-eight, you will probably be floating by this time. ”
The couple chatted a few words on the phone, and they both felt very happy.
Hanging up the phone, Hou Weidong felt a little uneasy, and after going around the lake, he dialed Chu Xiuhong's phone.
"Xiu Hong, how is Governor Zhou?"
Chu Xiuhong's voice was very low, and he said: "The situation is not good, I have returned to Lingxi this morning and am staying in the First Hospital." ”
Hou Weidong understood the reason for his restlessness, and said: "I'm in Lingxi, is it convenient to come over." ”
Chu Xiuhong said: "Governor Zhou is reluctant to see other guests, Mayor Hou is not an outsider, and he can come over at any time." ”
Hou Weidong squatted by the lake, washed his hands, and went straight to the Provincial People's Hospital by car.
In the past two years, I have been to the Provincial People's Hospital a lot, and I feel familiar with the way when I enter the hospital, which is really not a good thing for Hou Weidong. When I walked to the ward, I was greeted by the smell of disinfectant water, but an inexplicable emotion floating in the air.
Chu Xiuhong stood in front of the ward, his eyes facing Hou Weidong. During this period of time, Chu Xiuhong had obviously lost weight, his hair was slightly messy, and his beard turned black and blue on his chin. His previous image was a little performative, silent and steady was forced by the environment, but now after people become haggard, he really has a deep temperament of a man, and it comes from the heart.
Hou Weidong asked, "Is it serious?" ”
Chu Xiuhong said: "It's serious. ”
Pushing open the door, Hou Weidong understood what "very serious" meant. Zhou Changquan was originally thin and was a typical "muscular person", but he was so thin that he was energetic and had a temperament. At this time, Zhou Changquan's spirit was completely collapsed, and there seemed to be a piece of skin left on his face, and the bones on his body were against his clothes, and he was very vivid here with his skinny bones. The face appears pale green, and the lower abdomen is swollen.
After his mother fell ill, Hou Weidong made up a lot of knowledge about cancer, and when he saw Zhou Changquan's state, he understood that Zhou Changquan's liver was devoured by cancer, and the disease was difficult to control.
Zhou Changquan sat up with the help of his lover, closed his eyes for a moment, and then said to Hou Weidong: "Weidong, my life is not long." When he said this, his expression was very calm, as if he was presiding over the Standing Committee in Shazhou and making judgments on major decisions.
Hou Weidong said against his will: "Governor Zhou, we can't give up, miracles will always happen." ”
Zhou Changquan leaned on the bed and said, "Don't comfort me, now I rely on painkillers to barely keep the pain from it." ”
Hou Weidong said: "Does it hurt?" ”
Zhou Changquan closed his eyes for a while and said, "It's very painful, drilling into the heart, eating bones." ”
Zhou Changquan's condition worsened, and he lay on the bed and rarely spoke. Seeing that his father's spirit was improving, Da Zhou quickly took another handful of medicine and said, "Dad, I've taken the medicine." ”
Zhou Changquan said: "Eat." After taking the pills, he said: "My life is over, looking back on this life, I am generally satisfied, it is not easy for a rural child to become a vice governor." ”
Seeing that his father was willing to talk to the previous secretary, Da Zhou made a face for his mother, and the two went out of the room.
"Your dad said so much, it will hurt again later."
"Mom, my dad will hurt if he doesn't speak, he is willing to talk to Hou Weidong, let him talk happily." Da Zhou smoked a cigarette fiercely and said, "I really shouldn't have gone to the United States all these years, I have had little contact with my father, and I don't know what he has in his head." I don't usually feel it, but this time in the hospital, it was difficult for our father and son to communicate. On the contrary, Hou Weidong came, and his father had a conversation. I hope that time can be rewind a few years, and I can stay by my father's side, and now I don't have a chance to do my filial piety. ”
"You still don't know your father, where does he want his sons to stay by his side, he wants you to succeed in your career. He has been a career man all his life, and if a rural baby is not obsessed with doing business, he will not be able to be a governor. ”
Da Zhou was deeply sad, but he still wanted to comfort his mother and said, "Mom, you have to be mentally prepared, the doctor said that it could be at any time." ”
"People are born to die, and I can think about it." Da Zhou's mother has aged nearly ten years old for a while, her hair is completely white, and her expression is relatively indifferent.
In the ward, Zhou Changquan regained his energy slightly, looked at the slightly bulging abdomen with indifferent eyes, and said, "Don't comfort me, I know the condition." In the previous period, when my body was still okay, I also paid attention to reading the news about Maoyun, studied Maoyun's decision-making, and it was not appropriate to develop Nancheng. ”
Hou Weidong didn't expect that Zhou Changquan still cared about Maoyun at this time, and he had mixed feelings, he didn't lie in front of the old leader, and said: "I don't approve of a big deal in Nancheng in my heart, and there will inevitably be large-scale demolition." Maoyun was originally a city with a relatively large gap between the rich and the poor, and it was too risky to engage in demolition and relocation. However, Duan Yiyong, as the secretary of the municipal party committee, is vigorously promoting the Nancheng project, and I, as the new mayor, still have to implement the decision of the municipal party committee. ”
Zhou Changquan said: "According to your temperament, you won't just let it go?" ”
Hou Weidong said: "Engaging in urban construction is the same as water control, it is better to sparse than blocked, I am not learning from the old leaders, setting up another stove, avoiding the contradiction of demolition and relocation, and at the same time improving the living environment of the citizens." ”
Zhou Changquan leaned his head on the back of the bed and said, "The northern city is not suitable for building a city. ”
Hou Weidong said: "This view is a traditional view, I want to use comprehensive means, borrowing national and provincial funds for the renovation of old mining areas and bank loans, to turn the abandoned mine shaft in Beicheng into a mine park, and the large area of useless state-owned land around it will immediately appreciate in value." As long as the funds are in place, there is basically no resistance to the transformation of the northern city, and it will definitely be able to build a first-class urban area. ”
Zhou Changquan nodded and said, "If you have this idea, I will rest assured." In fact, I went to Shanghai, the Ruhr area in Germany, and Cornwall in the United Kingdom a year ago, and they were your idea. He took a break and said, "I'm useless in Lingxi, your future life may become a little difficult, and the only way out is outstanding political achievements." ”
After saying a long time, the pain crept in again, and he didn't detour anymore, and said: "The development of Beicheng is a big project, you have to bring Da Zhou with you." He's a returnee doctor, but he's not as good as you. I'll give him to you, I'm relieved. ”
This is the second time that Zhou Changquan has talked about this matter to Hou Weidong, and this time the conversation has the meaning of the White Emperor City.
When he left the hospital, Hou Weidong was in a heavy mood. A respected and familiar old leader is about to leave the world he loves very much, and no matter how big his official position or how much money he has, his life cannot be saved.
Driving back to Maoyun, Hou Weidong walked alone on the hill that separated the southern and northern cities, and was silent for a long time.
