Chapter 3 third chapter

Chen Mo called Peng Yimin and said, Secretary Peng, I would like to report to you on the propaganda work. When do you think you have time? Peng Yimin smiled and said, Minister Chen wants to meet. Come on, I'm in the office, let's have a good chat when we come. Peng Yimin's office is on the third floor. When Chen Mo arrived, Peng Yimin was lying on the table looking at some materials. When he saw Chen Mo coming, he smiled and stood up to greet him.I was just looking at the documents of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, about the selection of the top ten charming counties, and you called.Chen Mo said with a smile, thank the secretary for caring about the propaganda work, that's why I came here.The two shook hands, and Chen Mo sat down on the sofa.

Peng Yimin smiled and said, I'm sorry, Minister Chen, I was supposed to come to chat with you all night that night, but then I got drunk and stopped coming.Chen Mo smiled and said, "It's a good thing you didn't come here, otherwise I really couldn't afford to accompany you. I couldn't hold on when I returned to the room that day, and basically passed out. Peng Yimin began to talk about work, saying, Minister Chen, you are a literati, and when you come, our propaganda in Longshui will start.Before you took office, the county party committee convened a standing committee to study the evaluation of charming counties in the whole province. Secretary Dong Wei's attitude was clear, no matter what measures he had to be included in the ten charming counties.You are here, let's see if the Ministry can come up with a plan first, we will study it and then issue it?

I came here today to report this work to you. Chen Mo humbly replied that one has already been made in the Work Planning Department. I checked it and it is basically feasible.I am here this time mainly because I want to implement the affairs of the leading group with you. According to the provincial and municipal plans, the leading group is headed by a deputy secretary. We follow the example of the gourd. The leader of the leading group is none other than you. You Look? Peng Yimin laughed and said, in the current system, those who do not do things have to be listed, but those who do things are not. This work is mainly for you, Minister Chen, to do it. I think you should hang up the team leader. .

Chen Mo smiled and said, I'd rather be the deputy team leader for you. You are the deputy secretary of the county party committee, and if you are the team leader, many tasks will be easier to carry out, such as asking for some money from the finance department will be easier.Peng Yimin laughed and said, I can't get money, and the pen of executive deputy county magistrate Dai Wei works for money.How about this, since the provinces and cities are all named as deputy secretaries, I can't refuse.I am named the team leader, and the deputy team leader is here to hang up. In addition, Dai Wei is also dragged into the water, and a deputy team leader is called, he is rich.One original and two copies, the format is also correct.

Chen Mo said, it's better for you to think carefully and bring County Magistrate Dai to the leading group, so it will be easier to ask him for money.Would you like to say hello to County Magistrate Dai first, and then I will go to see him in person? Peng Yimin smiled and agreed. Chen Mo found Dai Wei, the executive deputy county magistrate, and Dai Wei readily agreed, saying, how dare you disobey Minister Chen's instructions? Speaking of which, I have many titles on my head, and almost all the leading groups in the county I'm all over it.Chen Mo laughed and said, you are the God of Wealth. Among all the Bodhisattvas in China, the God of Wealth is worshiped the most.Dai Wei laughed and said that the Chinese people have the greatest desire for wealth. The God of Wealth is posted on the door of every house, and every household has a shrine for the public. I am afraid that we are the only country in the world.

Chen Mo said, this is also a kind of good wishes. I once went to a temple of the God of Wealth to play, and saw a couplet that was very interesting: there are quite a few pennies, and you ask me to ask, who is better? Don’t do a little Even if you are the God of Wealth, you may find it difficult to control the wealth of the world. Dai Wei laughed at Chen again, saying that others only know that asking for money is not easy, but they don't know that it is even more difficult to give alms. Just say that I am the executive deputy county magistrate, who holds the financial signing power. Who knows the difficulty, being chased for money all day long seems to be the biggest debtor. Those who get money are naturally happy, and those who don't have money or get less will complain.

Chen Mo said, this is true, as the saying goes, it is difficult for one person to satisfy a hundred people.It's just that, in the future, participating in the evaluation of these ten charming counties will cost a lot of money. Dai Wei said, there is no problem with this, don't worry, participating in the selection of the top ten charming counties in the province is one of the most important tasks for our county this year, and of course we must provide strong financial support. Returning to the Ministry from Dai Wei's side, Long Yongshou happened to be in the office and said, Minister, I was just about to call you. Just in time for you to come back, a reporter from the provincial newspaper came, please accompany me during lunch.Chen Mo asked with a smile, what are you here for an interview? Long Yongshou said that the provincial newspaper has opened up a column called county-level style in order to cooperate with the selection of the top ten charming counties in the province. The reporter is here to organize articles.

Chen Mo said yes, this is a good thing.When he went to the hotel, Chen Yin had already greeted him outside the door.Seeing Chen Mo and the others coming, Chen Yin said that Minister Luo and the reporter were waiting in the box.After entering the box, Roland was chatting with a young man in his thirties. Seeing them come in, Roland stood up and said, the minister is here.The young man also stood up, Chen Mo quickly said, sit down quickly.Chen Yin introduced Chen Mo to the young man and said, Teacher Zhang, this is our Minister Chen.The young man stretched out his hand and said, Hello Minister, I am Zhang Hao, a reporter from the provincial newspaper, please take care of me.Chen Mo smiled and shook hands with Zhang Hao, and said, welcome, reporter Zhang.

Zhang Hao said, Minister, let me report to you the intention of coming to Longshui County this time? Chen Mo smiled and said, Reporter Zhang is too polite, you reporters are uncrowned kings, who would dare to listen to your report? Everyone laughed.Zhang Hao said, I came this time to get a feel for the situation in Longshui and see what can be reported.Our daily has created a special column based on the evaluation of the top ten charming counties. Since the column was launched, the competition among cities and counties in various regions has been very fierce. I felt the need to come here. Chen Mo smiled, and heard something tricky.Zhang Hao meant that the column was crowded with manuscripts, and he came to help Longshui County.Chen Mo is familiar with reporters because he has been working in the magazine for several years.These people are running around the world with their press cards. Their purpose is to cheat some money everywhere. If you don’t like it, they will send you a critical report or two, and fax the manuscript to the propaganda department. In order to calm things down, the local government will generally balance things .Of course, these reporters won't ask for too much money, but it's only ten thousand yuan, and three to fifty thousand yuan can be dealt with for bigger things.When some reporters came, they said they were doing publicity for the local area. After you were hooked, the final intention was exposed.Chen Mo thought about it, but didn't reveal it, and said with a smile, Reporter Zhang is very concerned about us in Longshui, thank you very much, how about it, now we don't talk about work, let's concentrate on drinking.

Zhang Hao just laughed and said, okay, I want to toast Minister Chen twice.Chen Mo hastily said, one cup is enough, how much more? I can't hold alcohol enough, so I drank it on my face.Zhang Hao said, the face is good, the face is red, drink a bucket, the face is blue, drink half a catty.People who blush after drinking have good liver function, good kidney detoxification function, and strong anti-alcohol enzymes, so they can sober up quickly. At that moment, the wine was poured, but no one drank it, and looked at Chen Mo with their eyes.Only then did Chen Mo realize that everyone was waiting for him to speak.There are many rules in the officialdom, a table of people drinking, there is only one center, and the center does not speak, and everyone dare not even hold the wine glass.At that moment, Chen Mo picked up the wine and said, Welcome Reporter Zhang to our Longshui County to guide the work. This glass of wine will welcome the news for Reporter Zhang.

Everyone raised their glasses and said to Zhang Hao, welcome reporter Zhang, come on, cheers. After the first glass of wine is dry, it is a mutual respect.When Zhang Hao walked over with the wine, Chen Mo deliberately turned his head to talk to Roland, pretending not to see.For the reporter, Chen Mo has a size in his heart, that is, never leave.These reporters are all good people and good at climbing along the pole. If they don't grasp the distance well, they will be stuck.Zhang Hao walked up to Chen Mo and said, Minister Chen, this time he came to Longshui and received a warm reception from the Propaganda Department of the county party committee. I would like to toast the minister as a token of gratitude. Chen Mo touched the rim of the wine glass to his lips, indicating that he had drunk it.Zhang Hao went to toast Long Yongshou again, Long Yongshou only took a sip, Zhang Hao disagreed, and said, Minister Long, let’s do it, we are old friends, what do we do with this glass of wine? The two of them pushed for a while, Long Yongshou had no choice but to do it.Next, Zhang Hao respected Roland again, and Roland didn't refuse, and drank it too.Chen Yin saw that Zhang Hao had poured another glass, and knew that he wanted to respect him, so he quickly stood up, took the wine glass over, and said, Teacher Zhang, I respect you, I respect you, you are my teacher, how can a teacher respect students? The two did too. After a few glasses of wine, Zhang Hao started talking, and said, Minister Chen, I have admired you for a long time. I knew you and read your novels when you were in the "Provincial Party Committee Newsletter" magazine.To tell you the truth, I also write novels, and I have published some short stories in "People's Literature".Chen Mo just laughed, because he couldn't figure out Zhang Hao's bottom line, and it was hard to say anything. He laughed and said, it is not easy to be included in "People's Literature". Zhang Hao said, "It's not bragging. Wherever I went, young literary girls followed me. I couldn't answer the letters I received from admirers every day. Later, I simply didn't open them." After hearing this, Chen Yin smacked his lips in admiration, and said, Mr. Zhang, I also like to write some novels, please guide me more in the future.Zhang Hao said, okay, if there are good novels and essays, I can recommend them to you. I have acquaintances in the "Sea Breeze Literature" magazine, and they will pay attention to the manuscripts I give them.He also said that I have passed the age of idealism, and I no longer dream of literature. Minister Chen abandoned literature and entered politics, which is really a wise move.I will not be a reporter for long, and I will inevitably follow the path that Minister Chen has walked in the future. A major leader of the province has already promised me that he will give me a good position. Chen Mo smiled. When Zhang Hao said such words, it was not only a kind of narcissism, but also a kind of stupidity. When talking with stupid people, he would inevitably say some stupid things, so he kept silent.But after Zhang Hao drank, he was unwilling to remain silent. He stuck to it with a smirk, and said, Minister Chen, if I have a chance, I will introduce you to some provincial leaders. .You may not believe me when I say it, but Secretary Huang Ming of the Provincial Party Committee is very kind to me. I once did an exclusive interview with him. Just that one time, he said that I was the most talented reporter he had ever met. We often meet and are friends across industries. If Minister Chen has time to go to the provincial capital, I will help you connect and build a bridge. Chen Mo smiled and said, thank you reporter Zhang, if I have time to go to the provincial capital, I will call you. Zhang Hao continued to talk wildly. Secretary Huang loves talents very much, especially respects literati. If he can get his appreciation, his future will be limitless.Speaking of which, Minister Chen understands all these things. Thinking back to when you were an editor in the province, you were promoted to deputy director in just a few years. If you don't have a bit of political skills, it is unimaginable. Chen Mo's face turned foggy. Zhang Hao was a bit too much. Of course, Chen Mo would not deny that he got to this point because of Zhang Xiao's appreciation and promotion, but Zhang Hao said it without hesitation in the public, It still made him unhappy.Long Yongshou quickly changed the topic, and said, Reporter Zhang, what material do you want to get when you come to Longshui this time? Zhang Hao said that the subject matter is not a problem, even if there is no material, I can create one. This is the ability of journalists. They can create something out of nothing, see the big from the small, can be positive or negative, and both good and evil. Journalists are nowhere in this society. Absent eyes are also germs that are ubiquitous in this society. This is what I have concluded. Chen Mo smiled, but his heart was full of disgust. He barely supported for half an hour, stood up and said, "Reporter Zhang, I'm sorry, I still have something to do, so I can't accompany you anymore."Regarding news reports, you should contact Minister Long and Chen Yin. I hope you can publish more manuscripts for us to participate in the selection of the top ten charming counties this time. Zhang Hao stood up and said, Minister Chen, please wait, I still have something to report to you. Chen Mo thought that Zhang Hao wanted to reveal his real intention for coming here, so he stopped and said with a smile, okay, let's talk. Zhang Hao said, that’s right, Minister Chen, Longshui County’s economic and social development is fast, and there are a lot of typical examples. I’m thinking of making a more comprehensive report, preferably a full-page report with text and pictures, and group recommendations. The carpet is like bombing, which is more shocking, what do you think? Chen Mo laughed and said, okay, it's up to reporter Zhang to work hard. Zhang Hao said, no problem, not bragging, the manuscript I wrote has never been shot in the newspaper office.It's just that I have a little sympathy, and I would like to ask the minister for your permission. Chen Mo laughed and said, what kind of permission is not allowed, but it doesn't matter. Zhang Hao's fluent tongue began to murmur, saying, that's right, Minister Chen, according to the newspaper's regulations, such a large page requires a little fee.The competition for publicity and reporting is very fierce now, so I would like to express my opinion here. If this issue is completed, we will try our best to give more weight to your county’s news articles in the future. Chen Mo smiled again, as expected, Zhang Hao came to pull the special edition.Chen Mo smiled and said, Reporter Zhang, this is paid news. The central government has issued repeated orders to prohibit paid news. Zhang Hao was embarrassed, and murmured that it meant something. Of course, the special page cannot be said to be all paid news, and besides, this is completely voluntary. Seeing Zhang Hao like this, Chen Mo thought to himself that this person probably hasn't been a reporter for long, or that he doesn't do these things much, but he still wants to pretend to be an old man, so he couldn't help feeling sorry for him.When I was in the "Provincial Party Committee Newsletter", I saw a lot of examples of using everything to the extreme for promotional pages and advertisements. At that time, in a "Provincial Party Committee Newsletter", except for the articles of the provincial leaders, most of the manuscripts were It costs the author to publish it.Of course, these authors are generally local officials, and they don’t need to pay for this little money. Moreover, sometimes spending money may not be able to squeeze into the page. For this reason, for a year or two, the executive deputy editor also published a supplement. , In fact, it was specially used to make money, and was later discovered by Zhang Xiao and banned.Chen Mo smiled and said, Reporter Zhang, how about this, I really have to go first, you and Minister Long, Minister Luo and Chen Yin, let’s talk about it first, how to do it, come up with a plan, study it in the department, and then Ask the county party committee. Zhang Hao originally thought it was over, but when he saw Chen Mo say this, he couldn't help being overjoyed, and said again and again, okay, I'll talk to Minister Long and the others first and then report to you, thank you Minister. The next day, Long Yongshou came to Chen Mo's office and reported the plan for the special edition. Chen Mo said with a smile, reporters are like this, and everyone will come to promote the special edition. A special edition is tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yuan, which is not worthwhile.Long Yongshou laughed and said, I'm afraid it won't work. Zhang Hao said that he had already reported to Secretary Dong, and Secretary Dong agreed to do it.Chen Mo let out a sigh, and said with a smile, since Secretary Dong agreed, I have no objection, please organize the manuscript. Sure enough, Chen Mo received a notice in the afternoon and went to the meeting room of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee for a meeting.When Chen Mo left, Dong Wei and the others had already sat down in the meeting room of the Standing Committee, talking and laughing happily there, and Zhang Hao was also there, praising Dong Wei's stinky feet.Chen Mo walked in, sat down on the sofa next to Peng Yimin, and asked, Secretary Peng, what is the agenda for today? Peng Yimin laughed and said, you don't know yet, don't you want to make a special page in the provincial newspaper? ?Secretary Dong meant that there should be a group photo of the Standing Committee's research work on the special page, and everyone was notified to take the photo. Chen Mo couldn't help laughing. In recent years, he has read too many special pages in newspapers. It is almost printed out of a pattern. Either a few standing committee members gather around a blueprint to point out the country, or the standing committee members hold a meeting around a large oval table , Of course, the county party secretary is in the middle of the screen, and they are arranged in order.And among the members of the Standing Committee, only the secretary of the county party committee can make movements, such as pinching the planning map with his left hand and pointing to the distance with his right hand, like a general who is directing a charge, while the others all look at the direction that hand is pointing, showing that the team is strong. Barrel of solidarity. While the two were talking, they heard Dong Wei say, are you all here? Everyone sit down and let reporter Zhang take some photos.Everyone chatted and laughed with each other and sat down at the oval-shaped table. They couldn't help making concessions for the order. Dong Wei took the chairman's seat without hesitation. On the left was Lin Zhifeng, the county magistrate, and Zhang Bozhong, the director of the National People's Congress, was on the right. Next came An Ruoshan, Chairman of the CPPCC, Peng Yimin, Deputy Secretary of the County Party Committee, Member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, Dai Wei, Executive Deputy County Mayor, Minister of Organization, and Minister of United Front Work.Chen Mozhen ranked last, and behind him was Yin Zhijie, director of the county party committee office. After the members of the Standing Committee sat down, Zhang Hao began to fiddle with his high-end camera, running back and forth a few times to find the angle.Maybe it’s because it’s not natural to pose for a photo, Dong Wei said with a smile, although today is specially to take a photo of a leadership meeting, but it’s rare for everyone to get together, let’s discuss something, it’s natural.Everyone laughed. County magistrate Lin Zhifeng said, since everyone is gathered for propaganda work, let's discuss propaganda work.Minister Chen, would you like to share some specific ideas of the ministry? Chen Mo said with a smile, then I will report. Although I have been working in the ministry for two months, I feel that I have not fully entered the role. The report may not be comprehensive. Please criticize and correct me.Then, I briefly introduced the evaluation plan made by the Ministry, and finally said that the evaluation of the top ten charming counties this time is not only a competition of cultural soft power, but also economic indicators.Our Longshui County is a remote area, and the economic development indicators must have a big gap with other counties, especially the central counties near the provincial capital. Therefore, our idea is to adopt a strategy of avoiding the real and attacking the imaginary. Starting from soft power, we will play out the charm of our unique coastal city. Dong Wei listened, nodded, and said, Minister Chen's promotional positioning of the top ten charming counties in the province, I think it is accurate, we really can't compare economic indicators with others, some developed counties near the provincial capital, One year's GDP is equivalent to the total of our entire Chuxi City, or even higher. Compared with others, we have no advantage in economy. Chen Mo smiled and agreed with Dong Wei's words.He also said that in order to ensure good results in this competition, I think every link is very important, because the rules of the competition are the primary selection, secondary selection and finals. We must do every step of the work, especially In the selection party of the provincial TV station, it is very important that the counties that enter the final competition must be displayed at the selection site, and these exhibitions require a special performing arts troupe.Due to funding problems, the theater troupe in our county has not been updated for a long time, and it is no longer possible to independently produce a stage play that only requires ten dancers. Therefore, I think it is possible to use this time to participate in the province's top ten charming counties Taking this opportunity, the county theater troupe was reorganized. Peng Yimin interjected with a smile, Minister Chen is right, the existing actors of our county theater troupe can no longer complete the performance tasks, and I have met these actors a few times as drummers for other people's weddings and funerals.In recent years, mass cultural work has been paid more and more attention, and the people's demand for spiritual and cultural life has become more and more intense. Therefore, I also feel that it is very important and urgent to reorganize the county troupe. Everyone had a heated discussion around the issue of the reorganization of the troupe, and discussed the importance of reorganizing the troupe from their own perspectives.The funniest thing is the United Front Work Minister Wang Qingyun. He said, I am engaged in United Front Work, and there are many social activities in United Front Work. I feel that it is very important to reorganize the troupe. spoil the scenery.But those old men are rich and handsome, but they like to look at beautiful girls.So I think it is necessary to reorganize the troupe.As soon as he said that, everyone laughed, and the county magistrate Lin Zhifeng said with a smile, those old men? I'm afraid your Minister Wang is thinking about beautiful girls, right? Seeing that the meeting got off topic, Dong Wei coughed solemnly, and everyone got back to the topic. Dai Wei, the executive deputy county magistrate, raised a question at this time. He said that when talking about propaganda work, I remembered one thing. We had a news figure in Lamei Village, Huangtuping Township, Longshui County. Pay attention, but the publicity outside is quite sensual.This kind of thing that blooms inside the wall and smells fragrant outside the wall is really regrettable. Lin Zhifeng smiled and said, you are talking about Mrs. Qin, right?This is true. Mrs. Tan is a rural woman who is said to have not yet graduated from elementary school. In her village, more than 80% of the young and middle-aged people have gone out to work, leaving their children to be raised by their elderly parents. Left-behind children are withdrawn due to lack of maternal love.Sister-in-law Qin was concerned about the problem of left-behind children, so she wrote a script called "Mom, Mom". She sold the two fat pigs at home, paid for a private video camera, directed it herself, and made a TV series called "What is it?" "Mom, Mom" ​​has aroused strong repercussions in the countryside.A women's newspaper was the first to report the story.Later, Mrs. Tan simply organized a self-improvement class for left-behind children in rural areas. After the news spread, many college student volunteers volunteered to teach in her self-improvement class.The provincial TV station, TV stations in other regions, and Phoenix Satellite TV all sent people to interview, and they also approached the Propaganda Department of our county party committee. Some cold treatment.Unexpectedly, this matter really became more and more publicized. Last time, China Central Television Channel 4 had an exclusive interview with Mrs. Tan, and it was said that she was identified as one of the top ten candidates who moved China's news this year. Dai Wei smiled and said, we all know what the county magistrate Lin said.In my opinion, we can't always be passive about Mrs. Qin's propaganda, the county party committee should have an attitude. Everyone stopped making a sound. Attitude is something that not everyone can have.So everyone stared at Dong Wei, ready to listen to his attitude. Dong Wei said that today's meeting was very successful. Everyone has done research on the propaganda and cultural work, which has a very good guiding significance for the future propaganda work of our county.Regarding the reorganization of the county troupe, I basically agree with Comrade Chen Mo’s opinion. The county’s finances have improved in the past few years, and we can still spend some spare money. I ask Comrade Chen Mo to call the cultural department to study a plan and report it to the Standing Committee of the county party committee for study and decision. My thoughts, As for the source of funds, in principle, the finances take the lead, and the theater troupe should also support the troupe with drama and carry out commercial operations.Just now the county magistrate said that they acted as trumpeters at other people's weddings and funerals. This is also a kind of commercial operation, but it's not very elegant.The theater troupe should arrange good programs, carry out commercial performances, and strive to use performances to seek benefits. With regard to Mrs. Qin’s propaganda, we were indeed a little passive. We did have concerns at the time. At that time, my thought was that if we vigorously promote an ordinary rural woman to pay attention to the problem of left-behind children, then others will draw a conclusion from another side. That is, what did our relevant departments do? This is a consideration.In addition, Mrs. Qin's matter of running a school is reasonable and illegal.Based on these considerations, I was the one who made the decision to deal coldly.It appears that this decision was correct at the time.But with the development of the situation, this decision looks a bit conservative today.I suggest that Comrade Chen Mo take some time and go down to investigate and make a decision. The meeting was over, and Zhang Hao's photo was also taken.Perhaps it was because Chen Mo bypassed Chen Mo and directly contacted Dong Wei about the issue of the special edition, so Zhang Hao approached Chen Mo affectionately, and showed Chen Mo the photos in the camera one by one, saying, the manuscript of the special edition, the county party committee director The secretary writes an article, focusing on the general introduction of the county.There is also an article by County Mayor Lin, which focuses on the economic construction of the county.Minister Chen, did you also write a manuscript? Chen Mo said with a smile, as long as there are articles by Secretary Dong and County Magistrate Lin, there is no need for me to submit manuscripts. It is better to save the page and report more on various tasks in our county. After Zhang Hao walked away from him, he moved closer to Dong Wei's side again, not knowing what to say.Chen Mo thought to himself, he had heard that Longshui County valued reporters a long time ago, and it seemed true.Ordinarily, as the propaganda minister, Chen Mo should be happy about this. After all, the propaganda department spends a lot of time dealing with reporters, and the county pays attention to it, so the work can be carried out easily.But for some reason, Chen Mo still felt in his heart for no reason that if a place takes reporters too seriously, there must be something wrong.
