Chapter 27 Chapter Twenty Seven

Wu Mingxiong went on to say: "I want to explain that it is mainly my opinion to make the road so wide. I am focusing on Route 10 in the United States. My idea is that when we do one thing, we can't just look at it. Right now, we need to take a long-term view and leave room for future development. Secretary Xiao is right. There may not be such a large traffic volume in a few years, but what about 10, 20, 30, or 50 years from now? Therefore, I suggested to the comrades in the relevant departments that our ring road should also have a foundation of ten lanes. If it is needed in the future, the safety isolation belts on both sides of the road should be modified to also have ten lanes, which can ensure that there will be no roads in the next century. We lag behind. Our predecessors repaired the road better, and the troubles of the future generations will be less, so we don’t have to worry about it. Okay, Secretary Xiao, you continue.”

Xiao Daoqing saw that Wu Mingxiong was indeed listening to his opinion seriously, and explained it, he felt a little more at ease, and his tone was much more relaxed, but his position was still very firm and clear: "The third point, and the most worrying point, is that Raising funds. Raising funds for roads in the city may be better, but raising funds for water conservancy in rural areas is very difficult and risky. I say this is not unfounded. The quality of our rural cadres is not uniform, and if they are soft, project funds cannot be raised; If it is tougher, it may intensify the conflict. Let me report here first: the fund-raising pilot project of the first phase of the project is not going well, and many contradictions have been exposed. What I am most afraid of is that our rural cadres will force it regardless of the policy boundaries, causing major incidents. Incident. Quanwang Township, Damo County, has been raging with storms these days because of the land occupied by the river. Therefore, my personal opinion is, can the Huancheng Road be delayed a step further? Concentrate manpower, material resources and funds, and go to a water conservancy project first. What about engineering? In this way, the risk is relatively small, and we have more room for maneuver. Secretary Xie Xuedong has also talked about the problem of roads. We still have to take our time, and we can first widen and renovate the old roads. There will be eight to ten years. With time, the problem will be solved. Well, I’ll just say this, for Secretary Wu and everyone’s reference when making decisions. Is this pouring cold water? I don’t think so, and some comrades insist on thinking so, and I can’t help it.”

There was a moment of silence at the venue, and Wu Mingxiong said: "Everyone, let's talk again. As the decision-makers of 10 million people in a region, we must be cautious about such a big matter. I think Secretary Xiao brought a Good head, that is, to speak frankly and truthfully express one's point of view in such an important decision-making meeting that has a bearing on the overall situation. This kind of spirit of speaking up and not making peace is very valuable." But Xiao Daoqing thought in his heart, forget it, if you say I'm precious, you may think I'm hateful in your heart.But whether you hate it or scold me, I just want to speak clearly in public, lest I be sold by you and count the money for you, an old man.Cao Wuping is a fool, but I am not.

In fact, the tone of the meeting set by Wu Mingxiong cannot be changed. The ensuing discussion was still one-sided. Except for some disagreements on the design standards of the ring road, other issues were almost completely consistent.This was all within Xiao Daoqing's expectation.Xiao Daoqing drank tea calmly, and never had any new disputes with anyone. When eating dinner in the office cafeteria, Wu Mingxiong sat in front of Xiao Daoqing and said that he would make specific work arrangements in the evening, and asked Xiao Daoqing if he wanted to adjust his scope of work? "It's really hard for us. We have to throw away our hometown, the old forest, the fruit trees and crops in front of and behind the village, etc. All have to be thrown away. The time limit is still so tight, we have to move today, and we have to move in three days. In the cold weather, we have to First live in firewood nests and tents. Can we not move it? No. It will affect the project. One million or hundreds of thousands of people have been working on the river. What problem should be solved? The problem of water should be solved. The problem of water is our survival problem, this problem It makes me and the old secretary feel uncomfortable when I think about it. Let’s just say that last year, we fought again for Shuiyuan and Shangquan Wangxiao’s family. One of them was killed and three were injured. Elder brother Cao Tongxi acted as the murderer to top the tank, and the procedures for bailing out for medical treatment have not yet been completed. Is my second brother Cao Tongxi really the murderer? Of course not. He has suffered from tuberculosis for several years, and he can’t even do the work in the field. Explode the dam?"

For some reason, tears flowed from his eyes, and Cao Tongqing let the tears flow on his face without wiping them away. "Who should be responsible for killing people? Who knows. At that time, the county public security bureau asked me and the old branch secretary to investigate the murderer. How should I investigate? How should I hand in the murderer? I didn't sleep for three days and nights, so I decided to surrender myself. The old party secretary stopped me, and my second brother also stopped me. The old party secretary said that he was not in good health, and the work in the village depended on me. I, the director and deputy secretary of the village committee, could not mess around. In front of the old branch secretary, he patted the shoulder and told me that I should lead the old and young folks to work hard and see if one day we can dig up our dry roots. The old branch secretary toasted the second brother’s wine at that time, and I knelt down to the second brother. I thought later, just to cut off the dry root, so as not to have a second second brother, I have to risk my life to do something."

No one expected that when Cao Tongqing said this, with a "plop", he knelt down on the snow in front of the crowd. "Old and young masters, today I also kneel down for you, I beg you for the sake of our relatives who go to top the tank every year, and for the sake of those dead and injured folks, don't say anything, move immediately, okay? it is good?" What Cao Tongqing said touched the pain of everyone, and this great gift shocked everyone even more. The people in the front hurriedly pulled Cao Tongqing up, saying that they would follow the director's instructions and move immediately, no matter how difficult it was, they would not cause trouble for the village.

Cao Wujun, the deputy director, said: "Okay, everyone, go home and clean up and prepare for the relocation. The elderly and children must be taken care of. It is cold and the road is slippery. You must not get frostbite or break any of them." Cao Tongqing also said: "The township and county have transferred some coal and firewood, and every household has to come and get them. Manpower is tight, and families in difficulties have cars and people in the village to help." When the people in the yard dispersed in all directions, Cao Tongqing called the secretary of the county party committee, Liu Jinping, who was holding a meeting of the river workers organization in the village, reported the situation at Xiaquanwang, and asked for a car from the village to come over.

This made Liu Jinping very happy. Liu Jinping said on the phone: "This is very good. I, the secretary of the county party committee, thank you, and the people of Damo thank you. In this cold weather, if you can really complete the relocation of the entire village within three days as required by the county party committee, the county I will reward your village with 20,000 yuan." Cao Tongqing said: "The real prize of 20,000 yuan is given to us, and we don't want it. Just use it as a donation for our project. Isn't this water conservancy project for the fundamental interests of our farmers?!"

Liu Jinping said: "Okay, if you can think this way, our work will be easier." An hour later, a messy and spectacular convoy of trucks, walking tractors, horse-drawn carts, and donkey carts appeared on the snow field in the distance.Liu Jinping, Secretary of the County Party Committee, sat in a large Jiefang truck leading the way to Xiaquanwang Village. At this time, the snow fluttered up again, and the world became chaotic. In the swaying chaos, Liu Jinping bit dry bread and reported to Chen Zhongyang on her mobile phone: "All 150,000 migrant workers in the first stage of the desert have been organized. The resettlement work for the three villages of Xiaquanwang has officially started today. I will now On the road leading to Xiaquanwang. The snow is heavy. I wonder if it snows in your city of Pingchuan?"

It didn’t snow in Pingchuan, and it didn’t snow in Minjiao County, which is connected with Pingchuan.However, the sky was dry and cold. When Tian Dao of Hedong Village entered the door of the county committee meeting room, he exaggeratedly clapped his hands and said, "A batch of donkey eggs were frozen on the street, and this human egg is almost completely frozen. Let's walk." Come and jingle." Cheng Weiqi, secretary of the county party committee, stopped and said, "Tian Dao Dao, be serious, and don't even look at the occasion!" Tian Dadao took a look and saw a few lesbians from counties and townships sitting in the meeting room. They calmed down a bit, nodded and laughed and said, "Okay, okay, I'm serious. I, Tian Dao, are timid. You are a gentleman, you dare not offend the leaders, and you dare not offend women." After hearing this, Wen Xiuru, the female head of Baishui Township, deliberately loudly said to Xing Baoyue, the director of the county government office next to her: "Director Xing, who is Tian Dao? ? Isn’t that dirty bear in our County Children’s Park also called Tian Dao?!”

Xing Baoyue said: "Major Wen, you don't know that. The dirty bear is called Tian Dao, and the tinkling President Tian is called Tian Dao, that is, the robber, the bandit, and Tian Dao on Xiongshan Mountain is a direct brother." There was a roar of laughter in the conference room. Tian Dao Dao was a little embarrassed, and yelled at Cheng Weiqi: "Secretary Cheng, look, look, can our Hedong Jinlong Group do good things?! Your Secretary Cheng told me to donate bears for the flowers of the revolution, so I will donate bears." ; Ask me to donate monkeys, and I will donate monkeys. But listen, donate and donate, I am so down, I have become a silly bear." Cheng Weiqi said: "What's wrong with being a silly bear? The bear is simple and honest. Isn't the mascot of our Asian Games just a silly bear?" Zhuang Qunyi, Secretary of the Party Committee of Hexi Village who was entering the door, didn’t know where he was, and corrected him: “Secretary Cheng, the mascot of our Asian Games is not a bear, but a panda. How can a bear be on the table?” Cheng Weiqi smiled and said, "That was my mistake." It was originally a joke, but as soon as Zhuang Qunyi intervened, Tian Dao didn't think it was a joke. He first glanced at Zhuang Qunyi with disdain, and then said to Cheng Weiqi: "Secretary Cheng, I'm too rough to be on stage. Pan, for today's meeting, should I not open it? Let those who can get on the table open it?" Cheng Weiqi said: "Whoever does not hold this meeting, you have to hold this meeting too. Do you know about Tian Dao? My cadre meeting above the township level made an exception and invited the generals of your five village-level enterprise groups. Not only invited You come here, and I invite you to sit in the front row, and there will be a banquet after the meeting, giving you a chance to get in touch with the county party committee, don't you guys cherish it?" Tian Dao Dao became alert all of a sudden: "Your Secretary Cheng invites us? Are you trying to shorten our lives?" Zhuang Qunyi also said suspiciously: "We have paid all the funds for the water conservancy project in lieu of labor." Cheng Weiqi waved his hands and said: "Secretary Zhuang, President Tian, ​​we don't talk about money, if we don't talk about money, it will be vulgar to talk about money all the time, and it will weaken the relationship between comrades." Looking around, everyone is almost there , Cheng Weiqi said to the female county magistrate Wu Kaizhen, "Magistrate Wu, let's have a meeting." Wu Kaizhen first conveyed the spirit of yesterday's Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government's work meeting on water conservancy and road construction, and especially mentioned the high evaluation of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Wu Mingxiong's high evaluation of the water conservancy fundraising work in Minjiao County.Wu Kaizhen read Wu Mingxiong’s comments twice at the meeting, to the effect that the peasant comrades in Minjiao have a high level of ideological awareness and a high style, share the worries of the party and the government, and never forget the country when they get rich; , The measures are effective and safe, and it has made a good start for the water conservancy fund-raising work in the entire Pingchuan area, and it has made a good start. However, as soon as the spirit of the meeting in the city was conveyed, Wu Kaizhen changed the subject and assigned tasks again.Although Cheng Weiqi stated that he would not talk about money, Wu Kaizhen still talked about funding issues on behalf of the county party committee and county government.It is said that the funding arrangement for the first phase of the water conservancy project is still insufficient, and the county has a shortfall of 1.06 million.This is still a trivial matter, and the county is going to squeeze around to solve it by itself.The big thing is that the Huancheng Road was launched at the same time, and 3 to 4 roads were built on the border of Minjiao, and Minjiao is the richest man in the eight counties, so it can't be justified without making contributions.After repeated negotiations with the city, it was decided that Minjiao would contribute 30 million yuan, which is not considered a donation but an investment.Once Jingjing Road is completed and opened to traffic, a toll station can be set up on the east ring connecting the two national highways to gradually recover the investment.Wu Mingxiong, secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, specifically instructed that the 30 million investment, first, is not allowed to be apportioned to individual farmers; second, it is not allowed to force borrowing from individual farmers.The county finance will provide a part, and the insufficient part can mobilize all townships and county-owned enterprises to voluntarily participate in the investment. As soon as County Magistrate Wu Kaizhen finished speaking, Cheng Weiqi continued with a very happy expression: "We are ahead in raising funds for water conservancy, and we must not lag behind in road construction. If there is a way, there will be small prosperity on the small road, but on the big road, there will be great wealth, and there will be no road." Not rich. This road is built on our land, and there are tolls to collect. Li can take out the 30 million yuan at once, and the county family simply voted for it. Director Liu of the Transportation Bureau has calculated an account, saying that tolls can collect 4 to 5 million miles a year." Tian Da Dao was bold, and interjected, "I think the county should settle such a good thing." Cheng Weiqi was not annoyed at all, looked at Tian Dao Dao, and said to everyone: "The problem is that the county finance can't afford so much money at once. It's full of money. The county can only spend about 18 million in a year. What about the 12 million?" How to do it? We have to invite all townships and enterprises to invest. This time we have to implement the instructions of the municipal party committee, but also act in accordance with the law, and sign economic contracts in a serious manner. The opinion of the county party committee and the county government is that basically the enterprises The principle is voluntary, and generally do not engage in administrative apportionment, but the counties in the target counties are scored, and each township is 400,000 to 600,000. The 22 townships in the county can roughly solve about 11 million.” Discussions erupted in the meeting place.Cheng Weiqi was really cunning, he just pretended not to hear, and said seriously: "We don't ask for opinions on such a good thing. You land lords report to Director Li of the Finance Bureau as soon as the meeting is over, and get the indicators." .The mobilization must be carried out immediately after returning home, and the first batch of funds must be in place before January 10. It is still the old rule that the top leader is in charge. Okay, let’s have this short meeting, let’s adjourn the meeting.” As soon as the meeting was announced to end, the mayors and secretaries of the 22 townships gathered around, one called Secretary Cheng, the other called Secretary Cheng, and they all said that they would ask Cheng Weiqi for further instructions on road investment.With a sullen face, Cheng Weiqi nodded and greeted everyone, but he jumped out of the surrounding area and walked away.When I walked to the door of the meeting room, I turned around and said: "If there is anything unclear, you can talk to the Magistrate Wu. I repeat, the leader is in charge of this matter. Don't try to play tricks. Don't tell me that you have no money." .Which one of you doesn’t have a small treasury? Really no one wants to invest, so let some blood come out of the small treasury in each township!” On the same day, Cheng Weiqizhen took the heads of five village-level township enterprise groups, including Tian Dao Dao and Zhuang Qunyi, He stayed and did not go to a commercial restaurant outside, but set up a large table in the canteen of the county party committee and served hot pot. When raising his glass to toast, Cheng Weiqi said: "Everyone has made great contributions to the reform, opening up and economic construction of our suburbs. In recent years, whether it is me, Cheng Weiqi, or the work of the county party committee and the county government, I have got you The strong support. Today, I offer you a glass of wine and thank you on behalf of the county party committee and the county government." Tian Dao Dao asked with a smile: "Secretary Cheng, how much do you plan to sell for this glass of wine?" Cheng Weiqi waved his hand again: "I said I don't talk about money, what's the matter with you bandit Tian!" Fei Guoqing from Pinghu Silk Industry Group asked: "Secretary Cheng, you really don't talk about money?" Zhuang Qunyi winked at Fei Guoqing and said, "Secretary Cheng doesn't talk about money, but investment." Let's not talk about investment now." Really didn't talk about it. It was rare for Cheng Weiqi to talk to these township entrepreneurs in a serious manner, saying that he knew there was no reason to flog Kuai Niu, but he had no choice but to flog Kuai Niu when something happened.From the bottom of my heart, I want to protect excellent township enterprises, but sometimes I have to reach out to the enterprises for help.He also said that the county party committees are all doing this, and I'm afraid that some power departments in the county and land lords in the township and town will do this even more.
