Chapter 12 Chapter Twelve

It was already 7:10 in the afternoon, and seven cars that had already started at the gates of the municipal party committee and the municipal government stopped at the gates one by one, waiting for the leaders to get on the cars and then open the way.The drivers stared at the clock from six o'clock, and more than an hour passed, and the owners of the car never showed up.The five chief and deputy secretaries of the municipal party committee, the standing committee member and the organization minister are having an intense secretary meeting.The secretaries were not off work, so the director of the municipal party committee office naturally did not dare to leave his post without authorization. Therefore, the lights were on in the meeting room of the standing committee of the municipal party committee building, and so was the director of the office.The drivers were a little puzzled; how could they drive so seriously today? The leaders really forgot to eat or sleep?It's so hot.The drivers couldn't imagine that today's secretary meeting was really warm.

The first issue got stuck.Li Shusheng proposed a two-step approach to implement the spirit of the provincial party committee and the whole committee, that is, to be pragmatic first and then pragmatic.The so-called retreat is to convene a plenary meeting of the municipal party committee first to convey the spirit of the provincial party committee's plenary session. In accordance with the requirements of the provincial party committee on "being a good setter, connecting with the Yangtze River Delta, and integrating into globalization", we will use the city as the carrier and the industry as the pillar to make the city bigger. economic aggregate.In order to unify the thoughts of leaders at all levels, we must do our best to work hard, jump down, and implement one project and one project.We must face up to backwardness, admit backwardness, be unwilling to lag behind, have the awareness of playing a supporting role in the coastal areas, find our own position, and neither underestimate ourselves nor be blindly optimistic.Pragmatically, it is to seize the big head of the countryside, adjust the structure of agricultural production, promote the process of agricultural industrialization, and make counties and rural market towns bigger.After all the late rice has been planted, thousands of cadres from cities, counties and townships will be organized to go to the countryside to help towns and towns plan development paths and help farmers find ways to get rich.

After the question was raised, Liu Wangming spoke first. He believed that the key to implementing the spirit of the Provincial Party Committee Plenary Session is to do a good job in the current economic work.It is necessary to unify the ideological understanding of the cadres by conveying the spirit of the meeting, and agreed to convene a full committee of the municipal party committee.However, he does not advocate that thousands of cadres go to the countryside for activities. He believes that this is a mere formality, a waste of money and people, and the gains outweigh the losses.Years of practice have proved that sending cadres to the countryside not only affects the work of the government agencies, but also increases administrative expenses, and even increases the burden on the village and farmers.Think about it, when the working group goes to the village, they need to live and eat, and they need to be accompanied when they go down to the village.If the problem cannot be solved, it will bring a lot of troubles to the common people, so we should be cautious about such things.

Liu Wangming's attitude brought the meeting to a stalemate from the very beginning.The other deputy secretaries had to concentrate their minds, think carefully about their views, and find a balance between the secretary and the mayor, so as to prevent their speech from being suspected of being biased towards the secretary or the mayor.Therefore, the meeting was cold for a while. Li Shusheng listened to Liu Wangming's speech, closed his eyes slightly and remained silent for a few minutes, then looked at several deputy secretaries.Urge everyone to comment. "Old Liu has expressed his views, you all talk about it, and see how to implement this whole committee well."

Ordinarily, Liu Maosheng, the party secretary who spoke next.He is second only to Liu Wangming in the rank of deputy secretary.But today Liu Maosheng kept his eyes on the teacup in front of him, and he was turning the ballpoint pen in his hand without making a sound. "Let me make some comments." Peng Changqing, deputy secretary in charge of ideology and agriculture, couldn't bear the oppression of the meeting atmosphere, and broke the dull speech.What's more, it's past four o'clock now, and the secretary's office meeting has arranged four topics, and now the first topic is far from over. Peng Changqing has a dinner party for a gathering of comrades-in-arms at night. While waiting for Peng Changqing, it was scheduled to be tonight by Peng Changqing. If everyone waited too long, what the gang of Qiu Ba said would be ugly, so he wanted to express his position quickly so that the meeting could end earlier.

"I think Secretary Li's thoughts on implementing the Provincial Party Committee Plenary Session are very comprehensive, from retreat to pragmatism. How to make a big city, strengthen industries, how to connect with developed regions, and enter the world market through them. Agriculture is the largest in Xinyang. Industry accounts for more than 35% of the GDP, and the rural population accounts for 80% of the city's population. How to make the agricultural industry bigger is a big topic, and it requires leading cadres at all levels in the city to do it. Tens of thousands of cadres will go to the countryside It is a good idea to focus on rural work this winter and next spring, but of course we must pay attention to strengthening management to prevent the problems that Mayor Liu mentioned."

Peng Changqing thought his speech was just right.He is in charge of agriculture, and the secretary proposed that the three-level cadres should focus on agriculture to support his work, so he should have a clear attitude.But you can't talk too much, it will hurt Liu Wangming.Recently, he could see that Liu Wangming was determined to be the next secretary of the municipal party committee, and he couldn't offend Liu Wangming at this time.So he affirmed the issues that Mayor Liu said, which means he did not agree with Li Shusheng's opinion. Peng Changqing was as fat as a pile of meat, and it was a pile of "smoked meat". He was so addicted to smoking that the smell of "smoked meat" filled everyone who sat with him.Although he is tall and thick, he can be regarded as a pebble in the valley of politics, round and smooth.He is a warrior in the team of the municipal party committee.As a battalion commander in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, he was shot in the left arm during a blocking battle and injured his nerve.He asked the health worker to bandage him a bit, held the gun in his right hand, turned his head and went into the line of fire again, until he won the blocking battle.Therefore, he achieved second-class military exploits and was immediately promoted to regiment leader.After the war, Peng Changqing's injury did not heal.The bullet injured his nerve, and he couldn't lift his hands above his head. He returned to the local area as a disabled soldier. Considering that he had worked on an army farm, he was arranged to be the director of the Municipal Agricultural Bureau.With a height of 1.72 meters, but a gross weight of 186 catties, like a candle in the wind, the flesh all over his body is in a state of flowing down.He has a big face but delicate features, with only a slit left for his eyes.He is usually easy to talk about nasty jokes, so almost all cadres call him "Huang" secretary.He yelled a lot, and he got used to it.People changed his real surname, and few people called him Secretary Peng anymore.

"I completely agree with Secretary Li's opinion." When Wen Junming, deputy secretary and secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, spoke, his eyes flicked from Liu Wangming to Li Shusheng's face. His position among the five secretaries was like a servant who was slowly falling out of favor in his master's house. People, cautious, endure humiliation, and survive in the cracks. "However, when the organization department considers transferring cadres, the political and legal department had better not do so. Last year, the public security police and legal inspection cadres were transferred to go out to attract investment. Instructions. Several provincial political and legal work meetings have criticized this matter without naming names, and the municipal party committee is requested to consider it when organizing cadres to go to the countryside this time." After these few words, beads of sweat broke out on Wen Junming's back.Wen Junming is gentle and gentle, wears a pair of glasses, and looks like a weak and clean scholar.He is the Secretary-General of the former Provincial Political and Legal Committee and a Master of Laws from East China University of Political Science and Law.At the age of thirty-six, the important role of the provincial party committee's arrangement for him to come to Xinyang was to improve the age structure of the municipal party committee's team.He is an expert on legal knowledge and legal theory.But what he does is often not found in books.He was very distressed by this.It was said in the society that Li Shusheng asked him to come from the provincial party committee, and that he belonged to Li Shusheng.But Li Shusheng did not show a very close relationship with him, giving Wen Junming the feeling that he was doing business.His words did not attract much attention at the meeting of the secretaries and the Standing Committee.Liu Wangming doesn't take this politically immature young man seriously. He can completely gather the "four chiefs" of the Public Prosecution and Judiciary Department under his banner and evade Wen Junming.As for the other members of the Standing Committee and the middle-level cadres in the city, their eyes were bright. In Li Shusheng's eyes, Wen Junming had status, and Wen Junming had prestige when he spoke in the city.

Liu Maosheng stubbed out the "Zhonghua" cigarette butt in the ashtray in front of him, swallowed the smoke with gusto, stroked back his gray and thin hair, and looked around the conference table with slick eyes. He spoke slowly. "Everyone has said it, and I would also like to share some opinions. I think the ideas of the two squad leaders stand tall and conform to the 'Three Represents' thinking. They not only consider the overall situation of the province's work, but also take care of the actual situation of Xinyang. " Whenever the secretary and mayor were present, Liu Maosheng would call them "the two monitors", which made Liu Wangming happy, and Li Shusheng couldn't find fault.He is the top leader of the government, so he is naturally the squad leader.What he said just now made all the monks here puzzled.Everyone watched how he performed his tricks.

"I work as a cadre. Recently, I have listened to the inspection report of the team of several units, and I deeply feel that the cadre team needs to strengthen education and unify their understanding. Some cadres have no ambitions and no big picture. I don't know what is global I don’t know the economic situation in the whole province, I don’t know my position, I don’t know the pressure on me. I will be more specific when I report on the work of the cadres later. Through this National Committee, we must unify our thinking and raise our awareness to The provincial party committee decided to step up and unify to further accelerate the development of Xinyang. In order to cope with the transfer of coastal industries, the municipal government recently planned to reorganize the assets of the enterprises in the city and form several large enterprise groups. I think it has a strategic vision. Mobilize all forces, concentrate on funds, talents, and resources, build big ships to go to sea, and fight against wind and waves. We must unify our understanding, support from all sides, and take into account the overall situation, otherwise it will be empty talk to implement the spirit of the Provincial Party Committee and the Whole Committee.”

Liu Maosheng's remarks not only praised the secretary, but also praised the mayor, and also planted a foreshadowing on the issue of cadres.Liu Wangming could hear it clearly, and Li Shusheng also knew that Liu Maosheng praised him as a way to support Liu Wangming's views. Since it was rumored that Liu Wangming was going to be the secretary of Xinyang, Liu Maosheng often ran to the government behind his back, and he also knew that Liu Wangming promised However, let Liu Maosheng be the mayor.Before Liu Wangming came to Xinyang, Liu Maosheng had been moving around, striving for the position of "mayor".After the provincial party committee decided on Liu Wangming's arrangement, Liu Maosheng felt very angry.He has been the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee for several years, and some of the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee at the same time as him have joined the provincial party committee.He blamed the provincial party committee for being unfair, blamed Li Shusheng for not helping, and also suspected that Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Wu had sued him.On the surface, he supports Li Shusheng, but he has a grudge.After dealing with Liu Wangming for more than two years, he felt that this person was loyal, righteous, and willing to help.Liu Maosheng's sister-in-law was laid off at the Agricultural Bank of China and stayed home for more than a year.For this reason, Liu Maosheng was often scolded by his wife, who forced him to find Liu Wangming many times and was transferred to the city traffic police team.He felt it was inconvenient, so he never looked for Liu Wangming.As a result, the wife came to the door by herself, notified her name, and asked Mayor Liu to care.Without further ado, Liu Wangming signed the document in person and called the traffic police to accept it.He still complained to Liu Maosheng in front of his wife, "Your old Liu is really good. We meet every day, but we don't say "squeak" to me, and you need to come here in person. Colleagues, take care of each other, it is human nature, I want to be Maosheng Concern, right? You go back and tell Lao Liu, don’t be polite if you have anything to do in the future, just come to me.” When my wife came back and said, Liu Maosheng was really moved for several days.Comparing with Li Shusheng, he felt that Liu Wangming dared to do something, and he was righteous and affectionate.From then on, he respected Liu Wangming quite a bit.In particular, I heard that Liu Wangming had a strong background and background, and he promised many times, both openly and secretly, that he would give up the mayor's seat to Liu Maosheng when he became the secretary.Liu Maosheng is a pragmatist in officialdom.Small man, a real roe-headed mouse, giving people the impression of being capable and cunning.He can smile and shake hands with his rival in love face to face, making outsiders feel like a friend who cut his head and changed his neck.But in the dark, he can grind people to death by gnashing his teeth.After the rectification, he will give you a call to express his concern and tell you that this is Zhang San and Li Si's trouble with you, and I have helped you a lot.Liu Maosheng harms people, and he has the ability to make the victim unaware, and even make you feel grateful to him.Those who knew him well would sweat on his back when they saw him, and they often stayed away from him, fearing that he would not be able to avoid him.In official battles, he often watched the battle instead of fighting.When he observes a side that may win, he will immediately join in.Maybe it's a blood inheritance, it is said that his father has this kind of talent for watching the wind and making the rudder.At the beginning of the Cultural Revolution, his father was the Secretary and Section Chief of the County Cultural Bureau, and he defected to three "Red Guard" organizations within a week. First, he jumped from a conservative to a rebel organization, and then applied to another rebel organization.As a result, people didn't want it, "People like you will be finished sooner or later. Our temple is too small to accommodate a true god like you. Let's find someone else." As a result, the next day, he raised a red flag, saying, "When you are finished, you are finished fighting!" Team." The commander and members are alone.In this regard, Liu Maosheng can be regarded as inheriting his father's blood. In the past political competitions in Xinyang, he changed families several times and lived a very nourishing life.The temptation of power and real benefits, coupled with recent social rumors, made him consider following Liu Wangming.But Li Shusheng was still there, so he didn't dare to speak out publicly.Li Shusheng was at home, and he called Liu Wangming to report.When Li Shusheng was on a business trip, he went to the government to report and ask for instructions, and Li Shusheng knew it well. "This time, the provincial committee specifically talked about improving work style and overcoming formalism. So it is a good idea to organize thousands of people to go to the countryside. We must organize them well. Otherwise, it will be a mere formality as Mayor Liu said. According to the experience of sending cadres to the countryside for many years, it is often that the unit has increased administrative expenses and the common people have increased the burden. This matter must be cautious. I think it is better to hold a few forums and listen to the opinions of rural and government cadres. .” "I think this matter will be submitted to the Standing Committee for further discussion. Everyone expressed no opinion on the implementation of the meeting. Please ask the Municipal Party Committee Office to prepare. Is it right? I will convey the spirit of the Provincial Party Committee Plenary Session and make a concluding speech. Lao Liu Make a report on the economic work in the first eight months and the tasks in the fourth quarter, and the three of you will chair the meeting separately. Arrange two half-day discussions, and divide the standing committee members of the municipal party committee into groups to participate in the discussions." Everyone said that they have no comments, and this topic is considered over.Although he breathed a sigh of relief, he obviously felt that the meeting of the secretaries was much more difficult than before. Perhaps it was the rumors about him leaving Xinyang that greatly reduced his influence.Is there any way, people are so realistic, and power, including options, has such magic power. Li Shusheng looked at his watch, it was already a quarter past four in the afternoon.
