Chapter 6 Chapter Six

The heavy snow all over the sky became even bigger at dusk.Jane Youran was sitting in the car, which was moving very slowly.Since the heavy snowfall, Jian Youran has not returned to the provincial capital for five days.The high speed is closed, and the national road is also covered with too much snow, making it difficult to walk. Of course, this is not the main thing.Secretary Li Mingxue was leading the county's cadres and masses to fight the snow. As the deputy secretary, Jian Youran could only think about fighting the snow at this moment.It took him four days to run through all ten towns in the county. On the one hand, he resisted the snow and on the other hand, he also understood the situation.Secretary Xiao Zheng said that Secretary Jian is really an efficient leader. It is unimaginable to travel to ten towns in four days.

Hudong was an earlier trial county for the withdrawal and merger of townships in the province. There were more than 20 townships in the past. Li Mingxue said that he "remembered the names of the leaders of these townships and towns."Therefore, once it was changed, it was completely changed. Some people said that Li Mingxue's reform was a regression to the district level in the early years.Li Mingxue said that the emphasis now is on service and efficiency, and the establishment of so many townships is nothing more than more cadres and more levels.The reform of Hudong has been affirmed by the Provincial Party Committee, and the Organization Department of the Central Committee has also notified it.

However, the local cadres in Hudong know that the reform of Secretary Li Mingxue was not very successful.The key is that people are still there.Over the years in China, there have been many reforms in the officialdom.In particular, institutional reforms have been carried out for seven rounds, but with little success.It's not that the reform plan doesn't work, and it's not that the reform hasn't continued.The important point is still one word: people.After one reform, the number of people is not reduced, but increased.Units seemed to have shrunk at the time of the reform, but increased at an extraordinary rate after the reform.This time, Jane went to the villages and towns again, and saw that some villages and towns had offices in three places.When I asked, it was said that there were more than 300 people assigned to the town government.Now that they have been merged, it is not easy to work in the original place, so they have to continue to rent the factory buildings or private houses of the company next to the current government. In all the towns and towns in the county, there are no less than two office places.Larger towns have three or four hundred people, and smaller ones have more than two hundred people.The committee members before the merger are still committee members.Therefore, in some villages and towns, there are only more than 30 party committee members, and the joint party and government meetings are held, which is overwhelming.

Jian Youran listened to reports from several villages and towns, and he became concerned about the way the meeting was held.What should I do if there are so many people in a meeting during the discussion? "What should we do? That's easy." Secretary Ye of Dalu Township said quickly, "It used to be the joint meeting of the party and government, and everyone spoke. Now it has been changed, and only the deputy secretary and those related to the management can speak. For general issues, the secretary first It was decided at the office meeting, but it was only announced at the joint meeting.”

"There's no way to discuss it. Once the discussion starts, it can't be stopped. Each person will have to talk for three to five hours. Is that okay?" After Secretary Ye finished speaking, Jane laughed again.He remembered that more than 30 people were working together to study a problem. If they all spoke and spoke, it would indeed be too chaotic to deal with.He shook his head, but said nothing. The heavy snow blocked some roads in Hudong County. Secretary Li Mingxue was very sensitive in this regard.He immediately organized the government cadres of the whole county to sweep the snow on the road.Jian Youran was constantly participating in the organization of snow sweeping while running around towns and villages.The TV station has a reporter and a camera following him all the time.Jian Youran said to reporter Xiao Huang: Take less shots of me and more shots of the masses.

Xiao Huang nodded, but the camera still followed Jian Youran.When the TV station reaches the county level, it is actually an information station for leadership activities.The actions of leaders are the sensitive points of journalists.Therefore, in every news, the leaders are always lined up from big to small.This ranking, that is, the order of the programs is also very particular.Wen Ping, the original director of Hudong TV Station, was transferred to the agricultural department for "lack of news sensitivity" because he misplaced two county leaders in the program sequence and omitted the names of individual leaders three times. The bureau became the deputy chief staff member.

Jian Youran will of course pay attention to this.When he arrived in Hudong, he became Hudong's deputy secretary.Ordinary people read the news, don't they just look at the faces of these leaders?Whichever leader comes out more and has more shots, the masses will be more familiar with it.On the contrary, if a county leader does not come out for too long and does not show his face, someone will worry.There may be rumors from the outside world: a certain leader has been shuanggui for corruption.This is true at the county level, at the provincial level, and at higher levels. As soon as the Hudong TV news came out, everyone knew that there was another Secretary Jian in Hudong.This is a very personable secretary. As soon as he arrived in the county, he kept showing up at various snow fighting scenes.Someone inquired, this Secretary Jian is... ah, it turned out that he was sent by the province to take up the post.It seems that there are not many good secretaries who come to take up positions like this.

It can be said that Jian Youran's first appearance was very successful.The heavy and unrestrained snow naturally pushed him in front of the people in the east of the lake.He went deep into the villages and towns in the wind and snow, gave guidance and research, and silently sent a signal to the people of Hudong: Although Jian Youran is a temporary post, he is the deputy secretary of Hudong. The ones are gilded. Jian Youran's running like this also caused some shocks within the county party committee.A deputy secretary who has been assigned to a temporary position, fights on the front line of anti-snow every day, which makes some people who are used to thinking, some are not used to it.As soon as Jian Youran returned to the county party committee, Liu Zhongtian, the deputy secretary, came to his office.

"Comrade again, have you worked hard?" "Ah, it's okay!" "I know you comrades who have been sitting in offices in the province for a long time, have never seen such a snowy formation. It's not like we are down here, and we are used to it. Haha." "That's true. It's good to meet you. Just to understand the situation below. In the future, I will ask Secretary Liu to take care of me and give me more advice." "Same, same, all the same. You come from the province and have a lot of knowledge. I'm still waiting for your advice." Liu Zhongtian said and handed Jian Youran a cigarette.

Jane waved her hand again, and Liu Zhongtian said, "That's right, it's better not to smoke. Every cigarette you smoke consumes five seconds of your life. I don't know how much I've consumed smoking in my life. But anyway, let's smoke. Smoke, right?" "Of course. I read a piece of information that said that people who are addicted to smoking will cause a lot of discomfort if they quit suddenly. The key is to smoke less." "Yes, yes! And the secretary hasn't been back to the provincial capital for several days, is he homesick? Haha, man."

"At this age, do you still look like a young man? Secretary Liu is joking." Jian Youran said, "Where is Secretary Mingxue? I don't seem to have seen it." "He went to the countryside. He is impatient and afraid of accidents." "That's right, such a heavy snowfall happens once in fifty years. If nothing happens, it's nothing. If something happens, it will be a big deal." Jian Youran's eyes were a little blank. "What will happen? At least Hudong will not happen." Liu Zhongtian said, laughing. After Liu Zhongtian left, Jian ran through the documents for a while, most of them were biography of the past few days, and almost all of them "resisted snow" for the same content.Xiao Zheng came in and asked Secretary Jian how to arrange tomorrow.Jane said again: "I haven't thought about it yet. Let's talk about it tomorrow morning. If you have something to do, go and do it first." Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Secretary Liu came here just now, Secretary Liu..." Jian Youran thought to herself that a secretary also started to comment on the leader, which is not normal.But after thinking about it, sometimes, the secretary is his own eyes and ears. If the leader can't say it, he has to rely on the secretary to say it; Rely on the secretary to listen; if the leader cannot see, rely on the secretary to see.He remembered a novel he had read not long ago, it was called, it was about the head secretary.The role of the secretary is delicate, and the relationship is also delicate. Thinking of this, Jian then said, "What's wrong with Secretary Liu?" "This person... Anyway, he is an old man in the east of the lake. He has been staying in the east of the lake, starting as a clerk in the village and working as a deputy secretary. The deputy secretary has also worked for six or seven years. He and Lu Tianzhu County The relationship with the boss is not good. The relationship with Secretary Li is not bad. However, it seems that Secretary Li doesn't want to provoke him very much, so..." Xiao Zheng said a lot in one breath, and Jane listened, but didn't make a sound , just said: "Xiao Zheng, you can't say things like this in the future, except in front of me. You can't say it casually!" "This... Secretary Jian, look, look, I just want to give you some information. I never talk about people behind their backs." Xiao Zheng blushed a little. "Of course, of course I know. I'm just talking, talking." Jian Youran patted Xiao Zheng's shoulder, Xiao Zheng nodded, and then went out. Jian Youran knew that among the county-level teams, the relationship was the most complicated.In fact, it is not only at the county level, but at all levels.Complicated teams and internal conflicts are common problems.Even the team of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee, isn't it also full of contradictions?It's just that everyone is covering the lid, and no one will take it off.The team conflicts, to put it bluntly, are actually power issues.The uneven distribution of benefits creates contradictions.Among them, the most difficult thing is the two leaders.In fact, many top leaders in the party and government are contradictory.However, before she came down from the province, Jian Youran understood it.The two top leaders in Hudong are relatively united.An important reason for this is that Li Mingxue is too tough.The county magistrate Lu Tianzhu is young.He knew better that Li Mingxue must be sent up properly.Only after Li Ming went to school did he have the possibility to become a secretary.Otherwise, if Li Mingxue stayed in the secretary's seat, he would have to sit in the county magistrate's seat. "This is a smart man," Jian Youran thought while reading the document. The phone rang, it was Zhao Ni. "What? Why did you forget it so quickly?" Zhao Ni's voice was a bit like snowflakes floating in the air. Jane didn't speak, and smiled to herself first, "How can I forget?" He stood up and closed the door while talking, "I was thinking of you just now, girl." "Lie!" Zhao Ni said, "I know that there are a lot of jadeites in the county, and Secretary Jian has already lost his eyes." "Is that kind of person?" Jane asked with a smile. "You are that kind of person. You were not the one who seduced me back then, otherwise, people wouldn't think of you that way." Zhao Ni's words were half coquettish, half wronged. "Okay, okay, Nizi, it has been snowing heavily for the past few days, and the roads have been closed. The highways and national highways are blocked. I can't even go back. I don't have wings, otherwise it would be nice to fly back. When the snow stops, the road It’s over, I’ll definitely go back and love you well. Haven’t gotten off work yet? Or…” "I came back early. As soon as you left, the office was deserted. There was no meaning at all. When I got home, I saw the cup you drank from and missed you again." "Ugh!" Zhao Ni said, "No, I'll go see you." "That can't be done. One is that the road is blocked, and two, I just came here, so the influence is not good." Jian Youran quickly interrupted Zhao Ni's conversation.This girl is crazy. At this time, let the outside world know, what will she say?A deputy secretary on a temporary post not only came by himself, but also brought his lover, wouldn't that be a problem? Zhao Ni was silent for a while, then said: "I knew it wouldn't work. I was just talking, to scare you. See if you are panicking. When will you come back? Tell me first, and I will make soup for you." Jian Youran said let's talk about it when the time comes. When you say it like this, I really seem to smell the aroma of stewing soup. After Zhao Ni put up the phone, Xiao Zheng came over and said that Secretary Liu had an evening reception from the Provincial Department of Water Resources, and he wanted to invite Secretary Jian to attend. Jian Youran thought about it for a while, and said okay, I'll go there. The evening reception is at Huhai Villa.Jian Youran came here because of Secretary Liu's face. Since Secretary Liu is the main companion, he can only deal with it by the side.Running downstairs for the past few days, she was also a little tired. After drinking a few taels of white wine, Jian Youran felt a little dizzy.However, he didn't make a sound, he insisted on holding on till the end of the reception.This provincial water conservancy department came from the deputy director of the planning and finance department.Jian Youran already knew in the province that this planning and financial department is not an ordinary department, and it is in charge of most projects.Anyway, there are a lot of projects nowadays, and it can be given to any place.When the wine is finished and the fun is complete, give more.On the contrary, maybe it can only be below the average. When such powerful cadres come to the county, they usually come together in threes or twos, come, stay overnight, and then go back home.The name of staying for one night depends on themselves, and it also depends on whether the host will do it.If you do it well, things will go smoothly; if you don’t do it well, they will go through the motions. As for the bitter fruit, you will taste it yourself. Deputy Secretary Liu Zhongtian was obviously very used to this kind of reception life, and he drank a lot of wine.His face was shining, and his forehead was sweating from time to time. He scraped his forehead with chopsticks, and the sweat was stained on the chopsticks. Sweat wiped away.Liu Zhongtian did all this in an orderly manner, which shows that he is used to it.And very natural.However, this made Jian Youran somewhat uncomfortable. After all, the chopsticks still had to reach into the dish, and the sweat on the chopsticks inevitably followed into the dish.Jian Youran felt a little disgusted, so she had to eat as little as possible. After the meal, Jian Youran said that she was feeling unwell, so she went back to her room first.Liu Zhongtian said to Director Huang of the Water Conservancy Bureau: "The secretary is alone, and Director Huang doesn't make any arrangements?" Director Huang looked at Jian Youran with a smile, and Jian Youran said, "You don't need any arrangements, just make arrangements for the guests and Secretary Liu." Liu Zhongtian laughed, "Then you can do small activities by yourself, haha." Jian Youran also smiled, greeted the director of the Water Conservancy Department, and went upstairs. As soon as he arrived at the room, Xiao Gu followed.Jane was wondering again, how did this kid know that he was coming back?For several days in a row, as soon as he returned to the room, Xiao Gu would appear as soon as he reached the door of the room.Are you sure she has been watching him? "Secretary Jian, you are back." Xiao Gu entered the door, made tea, then went to the bathroom to test the water temperature, and came out and said, "Everything is all right, please use it slowly, Secretary Jian. If you need anything, just call me .” "This girl..." Jian Youran looked at the back of Xiao Gu going out, and turned around to take a sip of tea, which was fragrant and made her feel a lot more relaxed. News is playing on TV, all snow resistant.Jian Youran looked at it, and suddenly felt a shock in her heart.I was so confused that I forgot a big thing.Every day I go to the front line to fight the snow, but I forget that I have another identity: the office director of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee.As the office director of the Propaganda Department, the first thing that should come to mind is to carry out anti-snow propaganda.The whole people mobilized against the snow in the east of the lake.If such a thing is not publicized, what else is there to publicize? At this moment, Jian Youran felt that she was not sensitive enough.At this moment, he thought of Du Guanghui again. Du Guanghui is also in the county, right?I heard that the snow in Tongshan is even heavier.All roads are closed.Tongshan has become an isolated city of wind and snow. Neither Jian Youran nor Du Guanghui expected that the first thing they would do when they were sent out to take up second positions would be to fight against the sky and Fengxue. Jian Youran thought for a while, picked up the phone, and called Du Guanghui's phone.Du Guanghui was in Tongshan, and his tone was anxious. "A lot of houses have collapsed in Tongshan. There has never been such a heavy snowfall in the mountainous area for so many years. I went to see some houses and it was really..." Du Guanghui stopped talking. Jian Youran said: "It's all the same, and it's the same here in the east of the lake. It's snowing heavily, so you have to take care of yourself." Du Guanghui said thank you, we have all been assigned temporary cadres, the same, the same. Jian Youran called the county party committee office again and asked Xiao Zheng to bring over his computer in the office.This computer originally belonged to the Ministry. When he came, he told Minister Ding and brought it with him.As soon as he took a shower, Xiao Zheng delivered the computer, and broadband was already installed in the room.Plugged it in and opened the web page in no time.Jian Youran first browsed the major portal websites, focusing on Jiangnan Online.This is the website of Jiangnan Province, which mainly reports the relevant developments in Jiangnan Province.As soon as I opened it, there were numerous reports on anti-snow, almost everywhere.Jane looked for it again, and after a main news, she saw a small report on the snow resistance situation in Hudong County. The content was very simple and flat. "How can this work?" Jian Youran said to the computer. Although Jian Youran has just arrived in the east of the lake for a few days, she has gradually become familiar with the situation in the office building of the county party committee.The secretary's office is all equipped with computers, which are also portable.However, as far as he knows, few secretaries seem to read online, mainly because their time is too tight.At first, Jian Youran still didn't take it seriously, but when she went to the countryside for a few days and returned to the office, she lost interest in seeing the computer.It is said that Secretary Li Mingxue was the first among the Hudong leadership to use a computer.When he first went online, he often used some fresh words from the Internet or some fresh ideas from other places in the manuscripts written by his secretaries.This trick, don't say it's really effective, not only stunned the secretaries.Some township and county cadres also listened to Secretary Li's impromptu report, saying that Secretary Li's abilities have grown significantly after becoming a secretary, and his ideological understanding has obviously improved, and he is obviously a secretary.Of course, this trick won't last long.First, the secretaries found out, and later, the township and county leaders also started to go online. The habits of leadership often become the ethos of a place.Li Mingxue's habit of surfing the Internet has made the cadres in Hudong a habit of surfing the Internet.After a long time, Li Mingxue had to rectify.I have to go to work on the Internet, and the office has become an Internet room.Some cadres actually started online dating on the Internet. At a meeting of Hudong county government officials, Li Mingxue made a self-criticism.He talked with earnestness and earnestness, and talked for a full two hours, and the final result was to strictly control the Internet.Incorporate the Internet into the evaluation of the effectiveness of the organization.Moreover, after the meeting, Secretary Li Mingxue personally arranged, caught a few typical cases, and dealt with them. Now, on the computer in Secretary Li Mingxue's office, Jian Youran saw a faint layer of dust.The computer in Liu Zhongtian's office didn't seem to be connected to any wires at all.The computers of the secretaries of the county party committee are concentrated in one office.Open and transparent, the result is gradually deserted.Xiao Zheng said, if you want to go online, you might as well go home.Who wants to surf the Internet with many people watching?No privacy at all. "Overcorrection", which reminded Jian Youran of this word. After taking a sip of tea, Jian Ran heard someone knocking on the door.He asked, "Who is it?" "It's me, Cheng Hui." A man's voice came from outside. Jian then remembered that Cheng Hui was the boss of Brilliant Industry, so she got up and opened the door.Cheng Hui stood at the door and said, "I'm bothering Secretary Jian." "It's okay, it's okay, come in." Cheng Hui came in, looked around the room, and said, "Secretary Jian's condition is also rough. How about changing it?" "I don't need it. It's very good here." Jian Youran said that she wanted to make tea for Cheng Hui, but Cheng Hui said no need, but just saw Secretary Jian in the room, so he came over and sat down, don't be polite.Then, Cheng Hui talked about the project of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission last time, saying that the situation was a bit complicated.The reason is that a company in another county did not know which leader in the province to find. It seems that the project of Huaihuang Industry is a bit difficult. "Ah, that's right. Why didn't you say it earlier?" Jian Youran asked. "I wanted to say it earlier. But these days the leaders are fighting against the snow, so how dare I interrupt?" "Well, I don't know which leader it is? The planning committee is in charge of Governor Lianghua, so it can't be that Governor Yang greeted him personally?" Jian Youran looked at Cheng Hui. "That won't happen. I heard that it is a department-level leader who came from that county." Cheng Hui explained. Now that Jian Youran had some confidence in his heart, he asked Cheng Hui to give him Director Zhao's phone number, and he immediately dialed it.Director Zhao picked it up, and Jian Youran said: "I'm Jian Youran, who was sent to Hudong by the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee. I'm here to say hello to Director Zhao." "Ah, Secretary Jian, hello Secretary Jian. Do you have any orders?" Director Zhao is also a flexible person. He made a call at such a late hour, and he understood the meaning as soon as he heard it. Jian Youran smiled and said, "It's really something. Last time, our Hudong Brilliant Industrial project was approved. I have to thank Director Zhao for that." Cheng Hui was taken aback by Jian Youran's words, how could it be approved?He stared at Jian Youran.Jian Youran was still smiling, and continued: "I'm with the brilliant Mr. Cheng, and I'm going to thank you personally in a few days." Director Zhao was obviously confused by Jian Youran's words, and he said after a while: "Secretary Jian, that project...that project seems a bit..." "Is there something wrong? It's not the project itself, is it?" "Of course not. But only one in the whole province. You see..." "Ah, I know this. How about this, Director Zhao only needs to list it in, and I will do the rest. Okay, Director Zhao?" "Of course it's good. You know, I'm also inclined towards the east of the lake." "Of course I know. Director Zhao is full of affection for the people of Hudong. Okay, okay, don't bother." Jian Youran hung up the phone and said to Cheng Hui: "I think I have to think about it Way. How about this, I will go back to the provincial capital tomorrow, and you will come with me." "This..." Cheng Hui hesitated. Jian Youran said: "Are you worried about the road? It's okay, just run slowly, start at eight in the morning, and arrive before dinner." "This is fine." Cheng Hui said: "This matter really depends on Secretary Jian. It will be decided tomorrow. I will go first." When going out, Cheng Hui casually put an envelope on the table.Jian Youran said, "You..." Cheng Hui just smiled, and he had already gone out. Jian Youran closed the door, looked at the envelope, and did not open it in a hurry.He knows what's in there.When he was in the Ministry, he often did this kind of thing.Of course, there were also people who sent him such things.He glanced at it and knew the weight inside.From the perspective of thickness, it is no less than five thousand. "This Cheng Hui..." Jian Youran smiled again, and put the envelope in the briefcase next to the bed. Then, Jian Youran started calling Secretary Li Mingxue, reporting that he would go back to the provincial capital tomorrow.Li Mingxue said that if you have something to do, you should go back. You have worked hard these days. Jian Youran smiled and said: "No matter how hard I work, how can Secretary Li work so hard? That's right, I want to invite several news media from the provincial capital to come to Lake East, mainly to report on the snow resistance in Lake East; economic development. Secretary Mingxue, look..." "This is good, very good! I agree." Li Mingxue's words were full of excitement. Jian Youran briefly talked about which media outlets he had planned to invite, and I agree with what Li Mingxue said.That's great!Now is the information age, even if the wine is good, the alleys are too deep!However, the secretary's idea is good, and I fully support it. Jian Youran knew in her heart that Li Ming would learn to support him.Putting down the phone, Jian Youran called reporters and friends from several media outlets and invited them to have dinner at the rich man in the provincial capital tomorrow night. In the end, he called Minister Ouyang and said that he would return to the provincial capital tomorrow, and that he would go to the Minister's home to report on work at night.Minister Ouyang said: "Well, I have something to do tomorrow night, so you can come later."
