Chapter 10 2. Report

Sitting in the car, Lin Bai thought, Xia Wentian must have come to find Zhao Changzheng early in the morning to complain and beg for mercy. He had long heard that the top leaders of the party and government in Dongzhou's new team were not cooperating well. I recommended it to the central government with all my strength, but Xia Wentian was recommended by Comrade Zhao Changzheng. Hong Wenshan has rich political experience, and Xia Wentian is a young economic expert. The most united team, I didn't expect that within a few days after the two formed the team, there would be rumors of disharmony, which made Lin Bai feel some hidden worries. 

The economic development of Qingjiang Province is unbalanced. The southern region has passed the threshold of a well-off society, while the northern region is still hovering on the food and clothing line. However, in the middle zone between the north and the south is the urban agglomeration in central Qingjiang centered on the provincial capital Dongzhou City. Within a radius of 100 kilometers, Dongzhou, Pingchuan, and Changshan are megacities with a population of over one million, and Ningshan, Xikou, Yingyang, and Tongling are metropolises with a population of more than 500,000.  These seven cities have a total area of ​​65,000 square kilometers, accounting for nearly 45% of the province's area, a population of 21.26 million, accounting for about 50% of the province's population, and nearly 50% of the province's GDP.This shows the strategic position of Dongzhou in the province's economic development. 

After the government of Zhao Changzheng came to power, he put forward the idea of ​​integrating the province's economy: build intercity rail transit from Dongzhou to various cities, and form an intercity express rail system in the economic zone as soon as possible.Start the expressway around the economic zone to create a "one-hour economic circle" in seven cities; rely on the leading enterprises in the advantageous industries of the seven cities, and focus on promoting the integration of equipment manufacturing, automobile industry, steel industry, petrochemical and fine chemical industries in the economic zone , strengthen the docking of industrial chains, enhance supporting capabilities, and rely on market mechanisms to integrate the overall rise of the urban agglomeration in central Qingjiang, thereby driving the great development of the northern region and gradually reversing the unbalanced economic development between the north and the south within ten years. 

However, at the critical moment of the implementation of this plan, the "Xiaojia Corruption Case" broke out, and the engine of Dongzhou as the urban agglomeration in the middle of Qingjiang suddenly stopped, which brought immeasurable losses to the province's economic development in full swing. Dongzhou's own economy has been hit hard like never before.  Today, Xin Zejin, director of the Provincial Office in Beijing, is coming to report on his work. For this report, Xin Zejin made an appointment on the phone two days in advance.Lin Bai didn't want to listen to Xin Zejin's report at first, because the secretaries of the municipal party committees of several cities in the central urban agglomeration were trying to make an appointment to report to him.Once there is a problem with Dongzhou, the engine that starts the economic development of the central urban agglomeration, other cities will inevitably be greatly affected. 

However, Lin Bai thought about it again. The Provincial Office in Beijing is the information source of Qingjiang Province. Could it be that Xin Zejin has found out some important news? Lin Bai has long asked the Provincial Office in Beijing to capture the central government's macro Regulatory policy information, which can avoid detours in decision-making. In fact, capturing information on various policies of the central government is sometimes more important than running "ministries" and "money".Therefore, Lin Bai decided to listen to Xin Zejin's report.  When Lin Bai arrived at the office, his secretary had arranged for Xin Zejin to wait in the small meeting room.Xin Zejin looked a bit haggard, obviously lack of sleep, Lin Bai thought, it seems that this Xin Zejin often stayed up all night socializing. 

"Secretary Lin, you pushed aside the princes from all walks of life and saw me, the director of the Beijing Office, who is not a popular person. I really didn't expect it. I would like to thank the leaders for their concern!" Lin Bai thought that what Xin Zejin was talking about was a cliché, so he didn't take it seriously: "Zejin, don't pretend to be pitiful with me, why is the Beijing Office not in the top ranks? A dignified department-level cadre, shouldering the responsibility of the province and the central government. The important task of communication, the Beijing Office is the nose, ears, and eyes of the local government, but you only strengthen the function of the mouth, and you are about to come up with tricks. It is said that the famous food from all over the country is passed to the capital through the Beijing Office. Isn't it?" 

Lin Bai scolded calmly, Xin Zejin was a little aggrieved, thinking to himself, why don't we welcome and send him off?We are the legs of the leaders in the capital.  "Secretary Lin, I came here to report an important situation to you. I have received reliable information that the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Council Administration Bureau are working on a rectification plan for the Beijing Office. The plan first involves 52 provincial governments. The rectification and reform of the Beijing Office and the Beijing Office of large state-owned enterprises." 

Lin Bai asked calmly: "What is the estimated reform?" Xin Zejin sighed: "Secretary Lin, I am worried that the State Council will make up its mind to withdraw the Beijing Office!"  Lin Bai pondered for a moment, lit a cigarette by himself, took a deep breath and said, "Zejin, you think the problem is too simple. The rapid growth of the Beijing Office coincides with the historical evolution of the decentralization of power between the central and local governments. Especially after the reform of the central and local tax-sharing system in 1994, the concentration of government finances in my country has continued to increase since the reform of the tax-sharing system in 1994. The establishment of the tax-sharing system has provided institutional guarantees for the central government's finances and has also changed the central government's financial system. In terms of finance, it is highly dependent on the local government. In the case of insufficient finance, the tasks of economic development and public management of the local government continue to increase, and the pressure on fiscal expenditure increases. This makes the central government's fiscal transfer payment, It has become an important source of income for local governments. Therefore, behind the prosperity of the Beijing Office is that the ministries and commissions have too much power to allocate resources, and the lack of transparency in the financial transfer payment process is an important reason. I think it is impossible for the Beijing Office to withdraw. "

"Secretary Lin's analysis is very thorough. It should be said that the local offices in Beijing have brought huge economic benefits to Beijing. Recently, I saw a survey report. The third force after investment. The central government will find a way to reform the Beijing office." Lin Bai knew very well that Xin Zejin had worked in the Provincial Office in Beijing for more than ten years, his wife and children were transferred to Beijing, and he almost made the Beijing Office his home. Once the Beijing Office was rectified, the first people to be affected would be Xin Zejin, so it is understandable that Xin Zejin is anxious to see himself. 

"Secretary Lin, I feel at ease with your words. I assure you that I will definitely build the Beijing Office of Qingjiang Province into the bridgehead of our province's reform and opening up in the Forbidden City." Lin Bai glanced at Xin Zejin and laughed and said, "Okay, Zejin, Hong Wenshan, Secretary of the Dongzhou Municipal Party Committee, is waiting for me in the office. I'm afraid I have to wait." Xin Zejin got up to leave in embarrassment, and suddenly remembered something, turned around and said, "Secretary Lin, a few days ago, I invited a director of the Ministry of Land and Resources to dinner. The specific measures are still unclear, and I have already asked the Information Office of the Beijing Office to pay close attention to the development in this regard."

"Zejin, this information is very important, we must find out the situation as soon as possible." "Okay, Secretary Lin, then I will ask the information department to report the investigation to you." After Xin Zejin left, Lin Bai felt a layer of worry in his heart. He knew in his heart that real estate development has almost become the financial pillar of some local governments in recent years, and many governments have become land sales finance, including some cities in Qingjiang Province. The central government has made heavy blows to rectify the real estate market. I am afraid that some local officials will not be able to sit still.After Hong Wenshan arrived in Dongzhou, he proposed to take real estate development as the leader to drive the economic development of Dongzhou. Will it be affected?Thinking of this, his heart tightened, and he hurried into his office.  Before Ding Nengtong accompanied Zhou Yongnian back to Dongzhou, he called Luo Xiaomei, saying that he would go to Huang County to see her when he returned to Dongzhou. Luo Xiaomei said that he would drive to Dongzhou to pick him up.  Yixue was not very happy when she learned that Ding Nengtong had returned to work in Canada. After she experienced life in Canada, her values ​​have changed significantly.Yixue believes that the drastic changes in the officialdom in Dongzhou are enough to explain the risks of an official career. Yixue is unwilling to worry about Ding Nengtong anymore. She called her husband many times to hope that he will retire bravely, but Ding Nengtong is a person with political ambitions. Not accepting Yixue's persuasion, every time the two of them talked on the phone, there was less tenderness and more disputes. After a long time, Yixue didn't bother to persuade her anymore, and of course she didn't bother to make phone calls.  Yixue thinks that a man has money, a seat and a car, but if he doesn't listen to you, what good is it?When I was a child, I walked several miles to my grandma’s house in the mountainous area to go to elementary school. The mighty big yellow dog of my grandma’s house escorted me all the way, and no one dared to bully me. Every time I went to play in the deep mountains and old forests alone, the big yellow dog was always happy Followed, Yixue told grandma at that time that when she grows up to marry a husband, she should be like a big yellow dog, but she was ridiculed by her cousins.Now I am thirty-five or sixteen years old in a flash, and things have changed for a long time, but when I look back, my thoughts when I was a child were absolutely right!But Ding Nengtong is no longer the big yellow dog in his mind. He and his son are far away in a foreign country, and he really needs a man as loyal as the big yellow dog. For this reason, Yixue fell into deep pain.  Ding Nengtong couldn't understand Yixue's thoughts. He felt that men were born to conquer the world. How could they be as useless as big yellow dogs?Ding Nengtong, who survived the catastrophe, tried his best to show the villains who once asserted that he was doomed. Ding Nengtong is a man who cannot be defeated, a warrior who will get up wherever he falls.  Luo Xiaomei understood the book hidden in Ding Nengtong's heart. This infatuated woman originally thought that Ding Nengtong's career path had come to an end, so she planned to ask Ding Nengtong to come out of the mountain to create a myth of wealth with her.  Luo Xiaomei did not expect that Ding Nengtong was fortunate in his misfortune. The new mayor Xia Wentian believed that people like Ding Nengtong who had experienced the baptism of strong winds and waves, but did not capsize due to wet soles should be reused. Whatever storms and waves we encounter, we will overcome them.Xia Wentian hired Ding Nengtong. Ding Nengtong was a man who died for his confidant, so of course he was going to ride the wind and waves to help the sea.  Luo Xiaomei is happy for Ding Nengtong, but also a little regretful. She is happy because her beloved man has stood up again. It is a pity that she can no longer create a myth of wealth together. However, Luo Xiaomei has never been a little woman who imposes on men, but likes to be with her A strange girl who dances with wolves, she feels that she has the ability to help Ding Nengtong realize his political ambitions, so that he can win Ding Nengtong's love even more.When Luo Xiaomei faces Ding Nengtong, she will always release a cat-like expression. She never shows her strength in front of Ding Nengtong. In this illusory world, men with ambitions, especially men with political ambitions, need women to be like cats The same warmth, in front of a man, you know everything about a woman, and you are strong in everything, what else does a man want to do? So when she heard the news that Ding Nengtong had arrived in Dongzhou, Luo Xiaomei immediately regained her cat nature, and her soul wobbled towards Ding Nengtong. The story that happened is touching and even more lingering...  The spring sun warms up, a bit like the body temperature of an old cat sleeping soundly on its shoulders. It heats up little by little in the warmth, urging people to sleep, but casually reminding you that this is a kind of enjoyment.There are not many days like this in spring in Dongzhou, which makes people cherish this rare stagnation of life time all the more.  Ding Nengtong lay stretched halfway in Luo Xiaomei's Mercedes-Benz. The speed of the car was not fast. Luo Xiaomei drove comfortably and enjoyed the beautiful scenery on both sides of the road.The Heishui River has been following from the city. After the Mercedes-Benz drove out of the ancient city of Dongzhou, the river suddenly became very wide toward the left bank, and the river overflowed to the grassy river bank.The water surface was rising, and the waves were splashing, impacting the jungle along the coast. A stream of clear spring floods also rushed into the river noisily along the many ditches and cracks in the ground.The sun was shining brightly, and a few yellow-billed ducks shone with black and bright feathers in the sun, quacking.  In sunny places, patches of green and fluffy grass grow thrivingly from the soil, and the spring breeze soothes Ding Nengtong's soul, just like the rushing black water river...
