Chapter 45 4. Hero cooking wine

Dongzhou Hotel is located behind the Municipal Party Committee. It is a three-star hotel. The leaders of the four major groups usually arrange banquets for guests in Caohekou Guest House, and some less important banquets are basically arranged in Dongzhou Hotel.  Zhou Yongnian has been living in an ordinary standard room here since he became the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee in Dongzhou.In the evening, if there is no banquet, he will eat in the canteen of the municipal party committee, and occasionally he will order noodles or instant noodles from the rice cooker in his room. 

After Lin Dake hosted a banquet at the Dongzhou Hotel for an equipment manufacturing delegation led by the deputy mayor of a brother city, he sent away his secretary and driver, and strolled to Zhou Yongnian's room with the food and drinks. He knew that Zhou Yongnian Unlike other leaders who never accept invitations to eat and are alone, the food in the municipal party committee cafeteria is always the same, either roasted eggplant or fried bean sprouts. I guess this guy is already tired of eating.  Tonight, Lin Dake specially ordered a steamed sea bass for Zhou Yongnian. When he knocked on the door of Zhou Yongnian's room, he saw a box of just finished bowl of noodles on the coffee table. 

"Yongnian, I knew that you used instant noodles to treat yourself. I ordered two delicious dishes. I haven't had a drink with you for a long time. I bought a bottle of Dongzhou Daqu specially. Boil wine and talk about heroes!" "What is a hero?" Zhou Yongnian blurted out.  "A heroic husband has great ambitions, has a good plan, has the opportunity to hide the universe, and he is also the one who has the ambitions of the world." Lin Dake said politely.  "The hero Cao Cao said is not a hero, but a hero." "Then what is a hero in your opinion?" Lin Dake asked while pouring wine. 

"Fan Zhongyan said it well in "The Story of Yueyang Tower". If you live in a high temple, you will worry about your people; if you live far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about your ruler. " "You mean, a hero is a person with the world in mind?" "Accurately speaking, heroes are those who rule the world!" "It's a good world for the public! Yongnian, cheers to the hero!" Lin Dake raised his glass boldly, Zhou Yongnian was also infected by Lin Dake's passion, the two like-minded people clinked glasses and drank it down! 

"Yongnian, if the standard of a hero is to take the world as the public, Li Weimin in Dongzhou is one, but unfortunately he died!" Lin Dake said sadly.  "Dake, you are no less than Li Weimin. Let's talk about the demolition of Yaowangmiao community. He Zhendong is the deputy mayor in charge, but the demolition residents have never seen him in Yaowangmiao community. You and Comrade Wen Tian I left home at six o’clock, earlier than the staff of the demolition office. I have to go to the demolition site several times a day, and I have to listen to a report every day. Whenever there is an urgent problem, I will go there to understand the situation and solve it in time. ."

"Yongnian, the people are so kind, but it's too difficult. They have opinions on the demolition, but they can't figure it out. I understand very well. What we have paid is only a little hard work, but the employees and residents of the demolished enterprises have suffered great losses. We have suffered a lot. What's the point of being a little tired?"  "What's the point? If you and Comrade Wen Tian didn't go to the residents' homes to do ideological work, maybe the common people would make trouble in the province or even go to Beijing. Because of your meticulous work, you have received the effect of persuading the family to mobilize a large area. The residents have already started to move, but it's okay, you can't just lower your head to pull the cart, but also look up at the people around you, someone is messing with your little moves!"

"Power is the goal that some people are always chasing. In order to achieve the goal, those who play tricks will not hesitate to sell their personalities, and it is nothing to do some petty tricks!" Lin Dake said indignantly.  "Okay, for a politician, one cannot avoid power tactics, because power tactics are the art of war in the officialdom, the strategy and means to defeat evil, just as a general must not understand the art of war, and a businessman must not understand business. As a politician, we must not understand power tactics. Therefore, we can’t keep secrets when we talk about power tactics. Some people even equate power tactics with evil. In fact, power tactics as a means does not matter whether evil or righteous. To whom and how to use it, to punish evil, it is the sword of justice, and to destroy justice, it is the weapon of evil. Do you think this is the case, okay?" 

"That's what I said. However, I prefer the word 'political wisdom'. I always feel that power tactics are not the standard for a loyal person, but more like a political trick played by a villain in the officialdom." Lin Dake handed Zhou Yongnian a Zhihongtashan, talking while lighting each other's fire.  "Dake, what do you think of He Zhendong?" Zhou Yongnian asked while taking a deep breath.  "Yongnian, you know that I don't like to gossip about other people behind their backs, but since you asked, I can only tell you that I don't like this person!"

"Why? He and you both started from Huang County." "However, I have never worked with him in Huangxian County. He took over as Secretary of the Huangxian County Party Committee after I arrived at the headquarters of the Flower Expo." "I know that you led the people of Huangxian County from a poor county relying on state relief to a well-known wealthy county. He Zhendong is very good at building momentum. He borrowed your light." "Yongnian, you can't say that. He Zhendong and the governor of Changzheng worked together. At that time, the governor of Changzheng was the head of Xitang District, and He Zhendong was the director of the office. From the secretary to the governor, He Zhendong also went from assistant to the district chief, deputy district chief, and district chief to the secretary of the Huangxian County Party Committee and the deputy mayor of Dongzhou City."

"You mean that the governor of the Long March played a role in He Zhendong's promotion?" "It's not necessarily that the governor of the Long March played a role, but that He Zhendong is very good at taking advantage of this relationship. I always feel that He Zhendong is very similar to a person." "Who?" "Corrupt Yuan Xifan!"  "I feel the same way as you! Da Ke, you have to be careful about this person, he has done a lot of your articles, thinking that it is not a day or two since he was a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Executive Deputy Mayor, and he has been active in the Organization Department of the Central Committee. Feng Yun told me that he met him once at Fayuan Temple in Beijing, and he was with Su Hongxiu."

"Who doesn't know that Su Hongxiu is a well-known courtesan in Dongzhou, Jia Chaoxuan's lover, how he has become a lover of He Zhendong so quickly. It's really pitiful for a woman to live to this point!" Lin Dake teased.  "Okay, Xiao Renjie, the executive deputy magistrate of Huangxian County, told me a lot about the situation in Huangxian County. Maybe there will be a big problem in Huangxian County!" Zhou Yongnian said worriedly.  "I know Xiao Renjie very well. When I was the county magistrate, he was the deputy county magistrate on temporary duty. He is very capable. He has a good reputation both among the government officials and the common people. As for the county magistrate, Niu Lushan came up." "Why, Niu Lushan has a bad reputation?" "When this person was the deputy county magistrate in charge of culture, education and health, he arbitrarily embezzled the special funds allocated by the city for the renovation of dilapidated houses in primary and secondary schools, and renovated the office building of the county education bureau. I know why his votes are higher than Xiao Renjie's!" "Okay, I suspect it's election bribery!" Zhou Yongnian said without a doubt.  "Is there any evidence?" "Yes, yes, I've always wanted to talk to you about the molybdenum mine in Huang County. The molybdenum mine was discovered when you were the county magistrate. Which department was responsible for the approval of the molybdenum mine at that time?" "At that time, the government set up a land and resources office, which I was in charge of, and was fully responsible for the planning, management and approval of the county's mineral resources." "Do you know who is responsible for the approval of mining now?" "Who?" "Wang Hansheng." "He's the secretary of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection, isn't his hand stretched too far?" "This is the problem. According to Xiao Renjie's report, in the Huangxian government, the well-known secret is that Wang Hansheng must not offend him, or even disobey his wishes, otherwise, he may be found an excuse to double-regulate. Department heads who have the resources that Wang Hansheng wants but are unwilling to hand them over are also in danger of being "double-regulated."  "It's simply lawless! Yongnian, why didn't your Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection investigate?" Lin Dake asked angrily.  "Okay, the fight against corruption is very complicated. It's not as simple as you imagine. When a cadre reaches the county level, he will have inextricable connections with city leaders and even provincial leaders. Some cadres go to When a certain person runs away from home, this kind of relationship is actually very close, and the Disciplinary Committee must fully consider the existence of this kind of relationship network when handling a case, on the one hand, it must eliminate the evil, and on the other hand, it must not hurt the good people by mistake." "Yongnian, I still don't understand that the 'Xiao Jia case' has just been settled, and the confessions of corrupt elements such as Yuan Xifan and Qian Xueli are still echoing. Some people turn a blind eye and dare to take risks. It seems that building a clean government depends on education No, we must find a permanent solution!" "Okay, education can influence people's choices, but it can't decide people's choices. If you run for an official to buy an official, you will get it, and people will run, ask for it, and buy it; if you tell lies and engage in political performance projects, you can get it." If the top leader has the final say, someone will grovel and flatter the top leader to gain the trust and promotion of the top leader, etc. Therefore, education alone is not enough, it can only be guided by the system. " "Yes, the serious corruption phenomenon in our country is attached to the old system. Only reform can eradicate corruption. In essence, anti-corruption is a repeated contest with the old system and mechanism. The results can be consolidated. However, in general, to fundamentally solve the existing institutional problems, we must rely on the deepening of reform and opening up and the continuous improvement of the socialist market economic system!"  Before they knew it, a bottle of Dongzhou Daqu was exhausted, and the two of them were having a good time chatting. Later, Lin Dake called his name to play Go and wanted to win two out of three games against Zhou Yongnian. The two of them set up a battlefield on the tea table. As expected, they met each other, and the first round became stalemate... 
