Chapter 3 third chapter

Li Shusheng, secretary of the Xinyang Municipal Party Committee, is a scholar-type leading cadre.In their fifties.The first batch of graduates after the resumption of the college entrance examination, a top student in the Department of Economics of Peking University, and later admitted to a master's degree at Renmin University, studying macroeconomics.His graduation thesis "On the Distribution of Regional Productivity in my country" caused a sensation in the field of economic theory, and his research results were absorbed into the national "Seventh Five-Year Plan".After graduation, he was originally assigned to work in the Institute of Macroeconomics of the State Planning Commission.Lao Li was a "three-in-one" cadre in the commune before going to university, engaged in rural economic management.He is an orphan who lost his parents since he was a child, and was brought up by his aunt.After growing up, Li Shusheng poured all his love for his parents into his aunt.After receiving the university admission letter, she insisted on doing her lover's work, and asked her to quit her job as a private teacher, go home to farm, and serve her aunt.After graduating from graduate school, I put the job introduction letter assigned in Beijing in my pocket, found an organization, and returned to my hometown.But the Provincial Planning Commission still detained him.Because of his economic theoretical foundation and personal experience of the bottom of the society, he has unique insights into the economic and social development of the province, and participated in the compilation of several five-year plans for the province.The job was done very well, and it only took eleven years to complete the job experience from a staff member to the director of the Provincial Planning Commission.In the late 1990s, Xinyang City, which had the best geographical location and the most obvious regional advantages in the province, ranked in the province's economic and social development indicators and fell rapidly to the penultimate. The provincial party committee adjusted the main leaders of the municipal party committee and placed Li Shusheng Put it on the post of secretary of the Xinyang Municipal Party Committee.To be honest, Li Shusheng has enough confidence in how to improve Xinyang's economy.He has worked as the director of the Provincial Planning Commission for many years. He has learned about the eight prefectures and cities in the province, the economic advantages and industrial structure of each place, how to establish a development strategy, and how to maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses.He has a book in his heart.Therefore, when he came to Xinyang, he did not spend more energy on economic work.However, the original development strategy has been adjusted, the industrial layout has been re-planned, and development funds have been raised with both hands.One is to attract investment, and the other is to manage the city and engage in capital operations.Soon, Xinyang's economy has a new momentum of development.In the fourth year of Li Shusheng's tenure, Xinyang's economic and social development has entered the advanced ranks of the province, and its development speed is second only to the provincial capital city.

What troubled Li Shusheng the most was the complex personnel relationship in Xinyang. Xinyang has a good geographical location, unique advantages in climate and landscape, forming a very unique living environment.The research found that the women in Xinyang have the best color in the province.Fair complexion, moist, and gentle personality.It is said that this is all related to the climate and water quality of Xinyang.Therefore, people who have lived here for a while are reluctant to leave.Therefore, Xinyang's cadres often circulate in a small closed environment.Not being able to be transferred or sent in was once a very headache for the provincial organization and personnel department.Even if he was promoted and transferred to other places to work, he still left his family in Xinyang.Therefore, in Xinyang's cadre and personnel work, it is inevitable that the roots are intertwined, and there are hidden reefs.Even the old boatman who wanders the rivers and lakes will capsize and fall into the water if he is not careful.Not long after Li Shu was born in Xinyang, he got into trouble because of the adjustment of the mayor's candidate.

The former mayor of the city government, Qian, was transferred from the post of factory director of the power machine factory. He did a good job in the post of factory director. He turned a small factory that produced agricultural water pumps from foundry cast iron into a production of CNC lathes. Ten products are exported, and the annual tax profit is nearly 60 million yuan.He has a strong sense of professionalism and won the National "May 1st" Labor Medal.In return and affirmation of his work achievements, the Provincial Party Committee transferred him to be the mayor of Xinyang.Going to the countryside, going to the factory, industry, agriculture, attracting investment and investment, I am very busy every day.However, due to lack of political experience, he could not grasp the key points of his work, and the government's work was not running smoothly.Two years later, his position was adjusted, and he became the chairman of the Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference, and also served as the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee for two years.Lao Qian didn't say anything, but he had a problem with Li Shusheng in his heart.The changes in Xinyang in recent years are due to me, the mayor, who exchanged more than 20 catties of flesh on my body. It wasn't for me running up and down, and you, Li Shusheng, can't do it alone.As a result, Xinyang's job went up, but the mayor went down. What does that mean?He blamed Li Shusheng for being intolerant.The social response is not small.Lao Qian was born and raised in Xinyang. He has seven brothers and sisters, close relatives, friends and classmates, and there are about twenty county-level cadres with whom he can be related.This group of people made waves, and quickly formed a public opinion in the city's society that "Li Shusheng squeezed out Qian", thinking that Li Shusheng had an inescapable responsibility for the provincial party committee to adjust Qian's position.For this reason, Li Shusheng's image lost a lot of points.Liu Wangming, who replaced Mayor Qian, was exchanged by the deputy secretary of a city in a neighboring province.This city is separated from Xinyang by a lake, connected by mountains and rivers, and the citizens communicate with each other. There are also many legends among the cadres of Xinyang about Liu Wangming's official career.Judging from his performance in the two years since he came, he confirmed all kinds of rumors and made Li Shusheng secretly complain.To be honest, Li Shusheng can be regarded as an official with ups and downs, and he is familiar with the official rules and hidden rules.But he hates the kind of professional bureaucrats who play tricks, work with scheming, face the sun from all directions, and look down on those bureaucrats who think about everything from protecting their own interests and seeking high positions.But natural selection, survival of the fittest, after eating this bowl of rice, sometimes I have to say something against my will and do something I don't want to do.The reality of officialdom is also often incomprehensible to people, and these officials are like ducks to water, with ease.Now a strange phenomenon has formed; those who are officials do not do things, and it is difficult for those who do things to be officials.This afternoon, Secretary Lin of the Provincial Party Committee announced in his report that prefectures and cities will be re-elected at the end of this year, and he also specifically talked about the issue of not being allowed to run for officials.Li Shusheng expects another big competition of "running official" and "vital official".Judging from some recent activities of Liu Wangming, he is anxious to promote the current work and complete this year's economic work tasks.

This afternoon, after the end of the Provincial Party Committee, Secretary Lin of the Provincial Party Committee sent his secretary to find Li Shusheng and asked him to go to the office to talk to him at night. This was an unexpected surprise for Li Shusheng. He wanted to report to Secretary Lin many times. idea.Now that the Provincial Party Committee has clarified the timetable for the re-election, it is time to report some of my considerations for the Xinyang Team to Secretary Lin Li, so that the Provincial Party Committee can grasp it when considering the Xinyang Team. At 7:30 in the evening, Li Shusheng arrived at Secretary Lin's office on time.

"Lao Li, come, sit, sit." Secretary Lin stood up from the sofa, extended a generous hand to shake Li Shusheng, and then turned off the TV. He is watching the weather forecast after "News Network".On the tea table in front of him was a box of "Uniform" instant noodles that he had eaten. "Secretary Lin, I'm sorry to take up your rest time." The secretary came in, poured tea for Li Shusheng, took away the instant noodle box from the coffee table, and gently closed the door. "Let's chat, it's also an active rest. It's rare for you to come back, but it will delay your time to reunite with your family. Don't mind."

"Where, the secretary is polite. Just instant noodles for dinner?" "What's the matter with instant noodles, the nutritional structure is reasonable, very good. I used to stay in the laboratory for 10 to 20 hours, three boxes of instant noodles. I have really trained my body. Now, I am pampered and charming. I really miss it Life back then." Provincial party secretary Lin Songtao is a biology professor who studies genetic engineering.In the 1980s, he was transferred from the post of president of Central South Agricultural University to vice governor of the provincial government.A scholarly family, his father is a teacher of the Anti-Japanese University.Many cadres in Yan'an had listened to his lectures.Lin Songtao is knowledgeable, quick thinking, and profound in thought.He is also approachable, with an elder demeanor and a scholarly demeanor.

"Hey, Shusheng, we are all scholars. Let's take it easy today. It's not just a conversation with the provincial or municipal party secretary. How do you feel about the National Committee this time? Properly adjust the development strategy of the provincial party committee. What do you think?" "I think the spirit of the Provincial Party Committee Plenary Session is in line with the requirements of the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China to emancipate the mind, seek truth from facts, and keep pace with the times. The 16th National Congress requires that all theories and work of the party reflect the times, grasp the regularity, and be creative. Province The original development strategy proposed by the Commission of "taking industrialization as the core, expanding the total volume, expanding the city, and strengthening the pillars" has not changed. Now it proposes "be a good setter, connect the Pearl River Delta, and integrate into globalization", which further improves the development "Being a good setter, docking with the Pearl River Delta, and integrating into globalization" is the way to "enlarge the total volume, expand the city, and strengthen the pillars". It is the development and improvement of the strategy."

Li Shusheng believes that modernization is largely urbanization.The process of urbanization is a symbol of a country's economic, social and cultural progress.Urbanization must be supported by industries, otherwise it will be an empty city.Introducing farmers to build cities and opening up agricultural household registrations to allow farmers to move to cities won’t work either. There are a large number of newly employed people in cities every year, and there are also a large number of laid-off workers. What do farmers do when they move to cities?what to eatIt will cause instability in the city.When peasants build cities, all they create are peasant streets, which will have to be blown up after two years, and the gains outweigh the losses.But to develop industries, we must expand the advantageous industries and pillar industries.Through the agglomeration benefits and radiation effects of pillar industries, the city will be made bigger, and the development of one or several large cities will drive the development of small and medium-sized cities and even small towns, and then the economic aggregate of the entire province. This development path has not changed, but It is more specific, more scientific, and more in line with the reality of the province.

The two also talked about taking over the transfer of industries in the Pearl River Delta.It is considered that the Pearl River Delta is undergoing industrial restructuring, and in the process of industrial upgrading, some industries will inevitably be transferred to relatively backward areas. This is an important opportunity for the economic development of the province.Cadres in the province must have the mind to be a supporting role, admit to being behind, and not be willing to lag behind.Be a good setter, dock with the Pearl River Delta Economic Zone, and integrate into globalization through them.

They chatted so intensely that Li Shusheng seemed to have forgotten that the secretary of the provincial party committee was sitting across from him, and seemed to be talking about the same old friend and acquaintance.From the working ideas of the provincial party committee to the consolidation of the current rural regime.Secretary Lin asked him if he had read a book that reflected agriculture and the life of rural farmers. "I heard about this book, but I couldn't find it." "You should look for it. The day before yesterday, I had an instruction on a material of the Provincial Rural Fee Reform Leading Group, asking the comrades in the cities and counties to take it as a concrete action to practice the 'Three Represents', from a political perspective. Looking at the burden of farmers. The author uses unimaginable poverty, unimaginable crime, unimaginable suffering, unimaginable resistance, and unimaginable tragedy to describe his feelings when he went deep into the countryside. It is deafening. .”

Secretary Lin spoke a little excitedly, and tapped the desk with his index finger "dong dong dong", and the muscles on Li Shusheng's back convulsed. "It's hard to imagine that those crimes occurred under the historical conditions when the people were in power. Our party started from the peasants. For more than 50 years, some rural grassroots political organizations and law enforcement representatives representing the people have unconsciously come to the people's It’s the opposite. It’s worth pondering, Lao Li.” "Yes, this is the problem that we need to seriously solve when we study the important thinking of the 'Three Represents'. I will definitely look for it." "Lao Li, you are a major in economics. You are now a vassal. I read a point made by a political scientist two years ago. He said that in the past 20 years, the world's political civilization has developed rapidly, which is the mainstream. But At the same time, there is also a countercurrent, which is the phenomenon of 'soft crisis' in some places." "'Soft crisis' phenomenon?" Li Shusheng listened carefully to what Secretary Lin said. "I didn't accept his point of view at the beginning. Judging from the situation in some places now, it's really worrying." Secretary Lin was talking about a small number of local governments. Under the control of bad people, the politics of this place has formed a complete shelter network model.The main body of the model is a local administrator, and there are four kinds of people involved. One is the official's "benefactor", that is, the superior who can shelter him, and the other is his subordinates, who are his sheltered people.The third is the officials of the local political and legal system and the "black and evil" forces he controls.This local official, by virtue of his up, down, left, and right connections, can do anything and cover the sky with his palm.Illegal things can be done by the underworld, and if the underworld is unjust, it can use the judicial means it controls to intervene.If he couldn't hold it anymore, he found his "benefactor" to come forward and seek shelter.And under him, there are many lower-level officials whom he supports, providing him with a steady stream of "loyalty" and "tribute".The internal force that maintains this system is the exchange of interests between layers of protection networks, often through appointing officials, offering bribes, and sharing spoils to maintain this mutually beneficial relationship and form a political alliance with the same interests and goals.In such an environment, if democratic procedures are used to decide major local political affairs, this alliance has monopoly power.To the outside world, it is an independent kingdom that cannot be pierced by needles or splashed by water. .Where this phenomenon occurs, a "soft crisis" is actually formed.There is a state of crisis that is neither dead nor alive. He is fighting against the state authority at the top, and is at odds with the people at the bottom. Economic development and social progress are severely restricted, but you can't find any flaws in him.In the case of a "soft crisis", local officials, entrepreneurs, and ordinary people will be divided into two types of people, "inside the network" and "outside the network".Anyone is faced with two choices, either to join forces or to be exploited.Under the domination of this local network of relationships, forces that oppose the interests of the public are often formed. "It doesn't matter if the phenomenon described by political scientists is just a theoretical model or just a prediction. Unfortunately, according to this model, examples can indeed be found in real society." Secretary Lin said. "This reminds us how important it is to select cadres, especially 'top leaders'," Lao Li interjected. "Yes. We must be wary of this kind of person taking the position of 'top leader'." Lin Songtao changed the subject and talked about the reelection of the prefectural and municipal party committees, and wanted to hear Li Shusheng's thoughts.He stood up and refilled Li Shusheng for the third time.Signal Li Shusheng to continue. "The reelection of the municipal party committee is a major event, and all parties are concerned about it. Generally speaking, it will be implemented according to the request made by Secretary Lin at the meeting in the afternoon. I personally think that it is not appropriate to promote it too early." "Why?" Lin Songtao was very interested. "Because this is not conducive to stabilizing the mood of the cadre team. And the process of re-election should not be too long, otherwise it will affect the work of this year. We should concentrate on completing it quickly. At present, we must guide the attention of the broad masses of cadres to economic and social development." "What are your thoughts?" "I want to wait for the investigation team of the provincial party committee to complete the inspection before starting to change the job. It will be completed before the National Day. After I go back, I want to organize ten thousand cadres from cities, counties and townships to go to the countryside in the near future to publicize the thought of 'Three Represents' and help Solve farmers' difficulties, study measures to develop production and increase income. Direct the energies of cadres at all levels to economic and social development." "Okay. Your idea is very good. Your standing committee will study a specific plan and report it to the provincial party committee. I want to see it." In this way, the night was short and the story was long, and it was already half past nine, and Li Shusheng had more important things to say before he had time to say, the opportunity tonight is very rare.But I was afraid that I would waste Secretary Lin's time too much. Secretary Lin seemed to see what he was thinking. "There is another question I need to hear your opinion. This time, what kind of considerations do you have for Xinyang's team, especially how to arrange the deputy secretaries of the municipal party committee? Tell me your opinion. Of course, it also includes You can also talk about your own personal arrangements.” "I obey the decision of the Provincial Party Committee. Personally, it is too stressful to preside over work in one place. It is of course comfortable to come back and find a bureau chief to do it. You know that I am a person who wants to do something practical, and you treat me like this I don’t dare to be lazy, right? Secretary Lin. If I had to choose between the bureau and the prefecture, I would continue to choose to work in Xinyang. Because the way here is clarified, and the development potential and stamina are very strong , I am very confident." Of course, Secretary Lin understood Li Shusheng's words, "Choose between the bureau and the city", that is, unless he can enter the provincial team, he will stay in Xinyang.Li Shusheng's ability, comprehensive quality, character and integrity are well known to him.It should be said that he is one of the best among the secretaries of the prefectural and municipal party committees in the whole province, and he is also the top among the directors of the provincial and direct departments.It is precisely because of this that he was placed in such an important place as Xinyang to serve as the secretary of the municipal party committee.In terms of personal quality, he is the most suitable candidate to be promoted to the provincial party committee, but it is not yet time, and the provincial party committee will be re-elected next year.Besides, there are too many variables in promoting cadres and arranging teams now. Sometimes it is like turning into a Rubik's cube. No one can tell for sure until the notice is issued.What's more, the promotion of a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee is subject to the inspection by the Organization Department of the Central Committee, and the decision-making power rests with the Central Committee. He cannot express or hint in front of Li Shusheng.Of course, from the bottom of his heart, he agreed with Li Shusheng's idea, and continued to serve as secretary of the municipal party committee in Xinyang before the provincial party committee changed.Since Li Shusheng has this idea, it is in line with his own considerations and let him continue to be the secretary in Xinyang. Secretary Lin's words carry a lot of weight. "Well, I understand what you think. Uh, what are your considerations for the Xinyang Municipal Party Committee? You have partnered with Wang Ming for more than two years. How about this comrade?" "Several deputy secretaries in the team work well. They are generally supportive of my work. But the division of labor is not smooth, and some of them are in charge of some government work, which is not easy to connect with government work. I suggest that the provincial party committee consider Exchange one or two deputy secretaries. Comrade Zhou Jianming, the head of the organization, has been a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee for many years. Maybe it's one-sided." "Oh?" "Comrade Liu Wangming needs to improve politically. His main energy is not on government work." Li Shusheng paused for a while, and looked at Secretary Lin's reaction. "Go on." "Government work is relatively stressful. It's also very hard, but I think he doesn't spend too much time on work. He doesn't concentrate on studying the main contradictions and problems in the city's economic and social development. I worry that it will be difficult for us to work together after a long time. " "Oh. What do you mean he mainly wants to improve politically?" "Including ideological style and policy level, there is a gap with the corresponding political quality of a city-level leading cadre. My opinion may not be accurate. I suggest the provincial party committee to investigate." Secretary Lin nodded. Li Shusheng didn't want to say this at first, but Liu Wangming's performance really made him unable to remain silent, especially after learning the news that the prefecture and city will be re-elected recently, he has already made no secret of his ambition to become the secretary of the municipal party committee, spreading the words "Li Shusheng is leaving" openly and secretly, Remarks by him taking over as secretary of the municipal party committee.Some non-organizational activities have even been planned for this purpose.Li Shusheng couldn't stop talking, he had to start to fight, and he couldn't let Liu Wangming be too presumptuous.If Liu Wangming's idea is allowed to succeed, the society will feel that he has lost justice, and he will lose face.Li Shusheng is a submissive and unyielding character, "People respect me a foot, and I respect others."Of course, if someone wants to play tricks on him, Li Shusheng will accompany him to the end without saying a word.To put it bluntly, Li Shusheng is definitely not an amateur when playing tricks.It's just that as the secretary of the municipal party committee and the squad leader, he has a greater responsibility to lead the team well, so he can't let his own temper do it.So since Secretary Lin mentioned Liu Wangming's words tonight, he just took the opportunity.Click on Liu Wangming's deadly "point".It can't be said too bluntly, he has learned in this regard.Two years ago, the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee had some opinions on Qian Yaohua's work. Li Shusheng took the opportunity to suggest that the Provincial Party Committee adjust his work. As a result, when the relevant departments submitted it to the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee for discussion, one of the reasons for the adjustment was the suggestion of the Secretary of the Xinyang Municipal Party Committee.Li Shusheng attracted a lot of criticism, and Qian Yaohua misunderstood him a lot.Liu Wangming, who succeeded Qian Yaohua, had stronger organizational skills than Qian Yaohua, but Li Shusheng's performance over the past two years made Li Shusheng even more worried.But it's inconvenient to tell the provincial party committee, especially Secretary Lin.He was afraid that he would get the reputation of being a bad co-worker, and he was really complaining in his heart.If it was said that Qian Yaohua was unable to do things because of his ability, then Liu Wangming was doing things recklessly.What worries Li Shusheng even more is that Liu Wangming's political morality is unscrupulous for a certain purpose.Liu Wangming openly publicized his political background and flaunted his special relationship with senior leaders.During this period of time, Liu Wangming has talked about the "head" publicly and privately, and his intention is nothing more than this change of office. "Oh, I still have a strong sense of professionalism." Secretary Lin keenly observed Li Shusheng's inner changes. "I attended a meeting in Beijing last month. A comrade from a department of the central government came to visit me in a hotel and specifically asked how Liu Wangming was working in Xinyang. He also expressed his concern." "Comrade Liu Wangming has intentionally or unintentionally introduced his special relationship with a chief on many occasions recently, saying how the chief cares about him politically. I always feel that this is not good, and it is irresponsible to the leader." "I've heard some reflections on this matter, is it true or not?" , Showing a cigarette, took a drag.The two taxis from Lingwu to Lingwu came only a few times earlier. Secretary Shenlin had heard this feedback many times. As the secretary of the provincial party committee, he was very dissatisfied with Liu Wangming's liberal attitude.But decades of life experience told him that he must be very cautious in dealing with this issue.Interpersonal relationship is the most basic and complex relationship in society.Its role in affecting social life is often greater than work relationships, organizational relationships, and superior-subordinate relationships.Now is the information society, no matter who you are, you have to contact people from all walks of life, and the leaders are the same. It is normal to have a city-level cadre who is relatively close, familiar, and familiar.Don't I, Lin Songtao, also have many grassroots cadres and even township cadres who have relatively close personal relationships?There are many real situations at the grassroots level that come from them.But we should be vigilant not to affect the principle of dealing with problems because of this relationship.From the perspective of social interaction, it may not be a lie that Liu Wangming is familiar with the same supervisory leader.If this is the case, the Provincial Party Committee will have to be more careful when dealing with issues related to this aspect in the future.As far as Liu Wangming is concerned, as a leading cadre, it is extremely wrong to try to use such a relationship for personal gain. "I don't know either. But I think that no matter whether it is true or not, such a relationship should not be exaggerated regardless of the occasion. Shiyuan smoked a cigarette and took a big drag. The two taxis from Lingwu came to Lingwu only early He's pretty deep." "You are right. In addition, we must also believe that even if Liu Wangming has a very close personal relationship with this leader, it will not prevent us from dealing with problems in accordance with principles and facts. Senior cadres of the party are politicians who govern the party and the country. There are principles for cadres and work requirements, and they will never give up the principles because of any special relationship." "On this issue, I don't have any worries. Secretary Lin, please rest assured that I will not relax my request to Liu Wangming because of this." "You are the squad leader. You should let go of the team members at work. But as the leader, you still have the responsibility to lead a group of people, educate, help, and supervise the team members. It is necessary to strengthen the political construction of the municipal party committee team. There are already clear regulations on the accountability system for a clean and honest government, and they must be implemented in accordance with the regulations.” "I'll find an opportunity to have another heart-to-heart talk with Comrade Liu Wangming, but I don't think the effect will be good." Li Shusheng said. "Yes, it is beneficial to chat together and exchange some different views frankly." It was almost ten o'clock when Li Shusheng left Secretary Lin's office.He has been thinking about whether Secretary Lin talked to him today mainly to listen to the opinions on the adjustment of the provincial party committee's development strategy, or to hear his thoughts on the reelection of the Xinyang Municipal Committee, or just to talk to him.It stands to reason that a secretary of the provincial party committee with 60 million subjects, looking for him at night was definitely not for the sake of talking about the mountains. As I walked and thought, the car arrived at the door of the house, the lights in the hall were still on, and someone was talking.Upon entering the door, Li Yide, secretary of the Yunfang County Party Committee, stood up from the sofa.It appears that he has been sitting for a long time. "Secretary, I can't stay idle after I go home." Li Yide stretched out his hand. "We have words first, have you forgotten? Sit down." Li Shusheng's lover added water to Li Yide's teacup, brought Li Shusheng another cup, and retreated to the inner bedroom. Li Shusheng and Li Yide are about the same age, and both worked in the provincial government before arriving in Xinyang.Li Yide is the Director of the Disciplinary Inspection Team of the Provincial Economic Commission and works on the second floor of the Provincial Government Building.My hometown is in the same county.There are more contacts in normal times, and the two families often walk around.Li Yide majored in aquatic products, and had nothing to do with the business of the Economic and Trade Commission.Staying in the Economic and Trade Commission is very awkward.Six years ago, the provincial party committee strengthened agriculture and transferred a group of cadres from the provincial government to work in the county. Li Yide wanted to sign up, but he couldn't make up his mind. He asked Li Shusheng for his opinion, and Li Shusheng strongly urged him to sign up. "Look, it has been more than two thousand years since Qin Shihuang established the system of prefectures and counties. The county level is very important, and it is also a platform for doing business. If it is done well, it will have a bright future. The county level is China's political structure and governance. The basic level of operation. The operation of the city, province, and even the central government is similar. If a county can be run well, a city, or even a province can be run well. Look, most of the leading cadres active at the city level and above are now county party committees. A secretary." These words strengthened Li Yide's determination to go down.He smiled and said, "I don't have that much ambition, I just want to do some facts. The agency is too boring, and it is a waste of life. Besides, I can't get involved in the business of the Economic and Trade Commission." In this way, Li Yide's application to work at the grassroots level was approved, and he came to Yunfang County to serve as the deputy secretary of the county party committee.There is a parenthesis behind it, which means it is at the first level.After working for four years, Li Shusheng became the secretary of the county party committee after he was appointed secretary of the Xinyang municipal party committee.In public, call each other official names.They call each other by their first names in private. "I heard that the plenary session of the provincial party committee has arranged for the reelection of the prefectural and municipal party committees?" Li Yide asked. "You are very well informed, Yide." "It's an information society now. Even the personnel arrangement of the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has been spread for several months, let alone this?" "What do you think of the transition?" "I can't say what I think, but I suggest that you should focus on thinking about changing jobs, and not be full of economic work." Li Yide told Li Shusheng about the process of Liu Wangming's arrival at Yunfang tonight, and added some of his own opinions and feelings.Li Shusheng listened carefully and nodded from time to time. "There are many discussions among the cadres below, saying that Liu Wangming has a lot of background. He himself said in some public places that he can come in and out as he pleases when he goes to the house of a chief executive in Beijing. From his tone, he must be the secretary of the Xinyang Municipal Party Committee. .You need to pay attention!" According to Li Shusheng's feeling, Liu Wangming's eagerness to become secretary of the Xinyang Municipal Party Committee has always existed, but Li Shusheng did not expect such a quick action.Moreover, such blatantly soliciting votes and spreading irresponsible remarks have caused ideological confusion among the cadres.The issue of financial sharing in Yunfang County has been reported for many years, and Li Shusheng has also given many instructions.Liu Wangming suppressed it for two years, but he refused to do it.It is even said outside that finance is a secondary distribution, it must be fair, and private affairs cannot be sought.The implication is that Li Shusheng takes care of Li Yide and seeks personal love.Contacted Secretary Lin to talk to him tonight, and asked for his opinions on personal work arrangements. He also said that some leading comrades in Beijing asked about Liu Wangming's work.Li Shusheng felt that the complexity of the re-election of the municipal party committee should not be underestimated. Facing a political opponent who could disregard honor, disgrace and shame, and magnify the pursuit of personal promotion to a crazy level, Li Shusheng felt that he could not be careless and negligent. At this time, the red telephone on the coffee table rang, and Li Shusheng picked up the receiver.Looking at the clock hanging on the front of the living room, it was ten past ten. "Shusheng, I'm old Lin. Did you know that there was a major traffic accident in Lingxi County at night?" "Oh, Secretary Lin, I haven't received the report yet." "This is a vicious accident. The leaders of the State Council have given serious instructions. I just saw the report. The governor and I have given instructions on it. You must quickly organize your forces to deal with this matter." "Don't worry, Secretary Lin, I'll go back right away! Report to the Provincial Party Committee immediately after handling it." Li Shusheng put down the phone and was taken aback for a moment. The red telephone rang harshly again.Li Shusheng's lover also came out from the back room. "Secretary Li, I'm Huang Shihuai from the municipal government." "Oh, Lao Huang, tell me." "I'm sorry to disturb you so late, there is something urgent to report to you." "It's okay, you say." "The city government office has just received a report. At 7:40 this afternoon, a major traffic accident occurred in Lingxi County. A bus from the county seat to Qingshui Township overturned under a hanging rock. It was reported that 19 people had died. More than 20 people were injured. Mayor Liu is rushing to the scene, and the county is already organizing rescue and dealing with the aftermath. Mayor Liu wants me to report to you first." "Oh, oh, are the casualties the number at the time of the report or the current number?" "The number of people at the time of the report was twelve, and another seven died during the rescue process." "Is the rescue work organized by the county?" "Currently it's mainly the county. According to Mayor Liu's opinion just now, the Municipal Health Bureau is organizing medical personnel, medicines, medical equipment and ambulances to rush to the scene." "Where are you?" "City government duty room." "Who did Mayor Liu go to Lingxi County with, and what arrangements does he have in Lingxi?" "Mayor Liu rushed directly from Yunfang, and no one went with him. He briefly told me about his arrangements." , He is going to rush to the scene of the accident, visit the family of the deceased, and hold a meeting in Lingxi on the accident to discuss the current production safety issues." "Oh, good!" Li Shusheng hesitated for a while and said, "You can do this, you can call Comrade Wang Dongsheng for me and convey my opinion. We must go all out to rescue the wounded at any cost. There are difficulties in technical strength and medical equipment. Report to the Municipal Health Bureau in a timely manner, and the Municipal Health Bureau will do its best to solve the problem. At the same time, we must arrange enough forces to deal with the aftermath of the deceased and comfort the family members. Is there any arrangement for the investigation of the accident?" "According to Mayor Liu's statement, a city-county joint investigation team with 12 people has been organized and has just set off." "Well, we must find out the cause of the accident as soon as possible. In addition, you should inform Wen Junming, deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee in charge of political and legal work, to rush to the accident site in Lingxi County now, and try to arrive before dawn. You tell the Propaganda Department, the Office, and the Public Security Bureau Wait for the leaders of the relevant units. The municipal party committee and the municipal government offices must be on duty 24 hours a day to keep the communication between the upper and lower levels unimpeded." "Okay, I'll implement it right away." "Going to Lingxi so late? Isn't it only a few hours away tomorrow? Driving this evening—" Li Shusheng's wife looked at him worriedly while helping him pack his luggage, with a bit of worry on her brows. Kind of sad. "Why don't I go with you." Li Yide knew that such a big event had happened, and as the secretary of the municipal party committee, it was his duty to attend the scene in person. It was a quiet night and driving for hundreds of kilometers. It was reasonable for his family to worry, but he Being present again, out of personal feelings, Li Yide felt that he should have an attitude. As for whether Li Shusheng agreed or not, that was up to him to decide. "No need, you still have work tomorrow, so go back and have an early rest. Let's talk about things in the city when we get back." In all honesty, on such a dark night, going alone to a place where crying, blood and sweat are intertwined, all kinds of unexpected contradictions are concentrated in front of you, so that you can't have more time to think. , when it is necessary to reply immediately and make a statement, he really needs help, and he hopes that he has a force behind him that he can rely on.At this time, one more person, one more voice, even a different voice, is strength.However, he couldn't pull Li Yide along.He knew that Li Yide was purely polite, they were all leading cadres of a certain level, and they were all familiar with the basic common sense of leading cadres in dealing with problems, inspecting work, and accompanying inspections.What does it mean that a city party secretary goes to the county to deal with an emergency, but is accompanied by another county party secretary?That is not to tell people in Xinyang publicly that they have a special personal relationship, or to tell people that Li Yide was present when Li Shusheng went out.Regarding their personal relationship, when Li Yide was promoted to the secretary of the county party committee, there were some discussions in the society.Liu Wangming was even more focused on making fuss about their relationship, it's better not to let him find some tongue-in-cheek. Li Shusheng and his lover sent Li Yide out of the house together. After Li Yide got into the car, by the headlights, he saw a taxi just started to drive away. Li Shusheng went back to the house, called the secretary and the driver, and told them to come home within half an hour and head to Lingxi County immediately.Then he sat down on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and took a deep drag. The traffic accident that happened in Lingxi County filled his mind, and a clear word "Chuan" was frowned between his brows.
