Chapter 3 Yun Tao: The Adventures of the Mayor's Private Visit

author: "Mayor Zheng: We are villagers in Nanshan Village, the most remote backing township in the city. We would like to report to you that the leaders of the city, county, and township have too many inspections and work in the countryside. When they come, they say that although transportation and communication are inconvenient here , no bus, no mobile phone, but there are mountains and rivers, and I have truly returned to nature. I want to play and eat green food. When the holidays come, many foreign domestic luxury cars come in a mighty way, just talking about ostentation If we don’t do anything practical, we can only serve them. A lot of immature green food is eaten like this, and the beautiful environment is ruined. There are less than a hundred families in our village, and they are not rich. , I hope the mayor will be the master for us, and we welcome you to work in a light and easy manner, but we must let leaders at all levels stop visiting a few times for the time being, so that we can come back after we develop and become rich. "

Faced with such a letter from the masses, the newly appointed Mayor Zheng decided to start by reducing cadres going to the countryside to disturb the people, so he held a meeting and issued a document. Explain the purpose of the inspection and the unit you went to, how many cars you went to, how many people, how many days you worked, and you must pay the expenses yourself. You cannot let your subordinates receive you, especially when traveling on holidays. You are not allowed to take a bus or let your subordinates receive you. lazy.After the work assignment document was issued, Mayor Zheng didn't know how his subordinates would implement it, so he decided not to notify the departments at all levels, and went to Nanshan Village for a private visit on weekends.

Mayor Zheng took a bus to Kaoshan Village alone. There is a 20-kilometer mountain road to Nanshan Village, and there are no buses. Because Nanshan Village has too few people, a bus can't pull a few customers. It's not economical. There is no car. I am willing to run this line, so I have not been polite. If I don’t drive myself, I can only hire a tractor or walk. Since I am visiting privately, I don’t want to hire a tractor. Mayor Zheng has not walked a long distance for a long time, and suddenly wants to test himself on foot. He had no physical strength, asked the way alone, and walked to Nanshan Village on foot. Along the way, the sky was blue, the clouds were white, the grass was green, and the flowers were fresh. He hadn’t seen such a beautiful scenery for a long time. The phone has no signal.

I was alone all the way, without seeing any cars or people. As I approached the village, there were villagers on the road. When they saw him, they all looked at him suspiciously, but no one came to talk to him.This was even more so after entering the village. The villagers all noticed this lone guest, but they all watched him from a distance and talked about him without speaking. He asked several people before someone pointed him to the address of the village committee. It was a red brick building adjacent to a row of red brick buildings. Looking at the empty playground in front of the door, he knew it was a primary school.

There was an old man at the gate of the village committee. Mayor Zheng said that he was a staff member of the city government and wanted to know about the recent disturbances caused by the higher-level government departments. The old man asked him to wait and he went to report to the village chief himself. Mayor Zheng waited while looking at the outdated newspapers. It took him a long time to hear noisy footsteps outside. He raised his eyes that were dazed from reading the newspapers, and a group of strong men came before him, including several old-fashioned police officers in imitation clothes. They surrounded him in a semi-circle, and the leader shouted, "Have you checked the window?" Someone under the outside window responded, "Don't worry, he can't escape even with wings!" The leader looked vigilant. He was serious and asked, "You said you belonged to the municipal government?" Mayor Zheng was a little embarrassed, "Yes!" "ID card, work card?" Mayor Zheng took out his ID card and explained: "This is an ID card." , I just came to the city, and I haven't got a work permit yet." "Then why do you say you belong to the city government?" "You can call to verify?" "You know we don't have a phone call here, so you came here to lie, right?" "What did I lie to you? If you don't believe me, I can travel here, right?" "How did you get here?" "Walking here?" "You belong to the city government?" "Yes!" Walked ten kilometers?" "Yes!" The man raised his eyebrows triumphantly and asked, "Brothers, do you believe it?" All the men burst into laughter, as if there was nothing funnier than this.The leader smiled and slapped the table, "Be honest, who are you? I am the village security director, and this is the reserve of our village. If you don't tell the truth, you will suffer a lot." .”

Mayor Zheng never thought that the meeting ceremony in the village would be like this, and asked: "Do you greet all the people who come from the city government like this?" Come to the countryside once, let me tell you, not to mention the city government, even the township government comes to watch the gate, and here we have to be an ancestor. Whoever comes from the government does not come by car, the city government comes, at least the county I accompany someone in the village, and I accompany someone in the village. Is there anyone like you who goes down to the village by himself? Does anyone come here without taking a car?" "Could it be the only one who didn't walk here?" "What age is this, you I thought it was Kangxi’s private visit, now that officials don’t take cars, they may not even know how to walk, like you don’t even know such common sense, and you dare to pretend to be a city person.”

"Take out the things in your pocket!" The security director shouted, and Mayor Zheng was anxious: "What right do you have to search, I am the mayor!" "I'm still the president of the country," a young man said while twisting They grabbed Mayor Zheng's arm, and others took out his pockets. Except for more than 1,000 yuan, a mobile phone, and a government phone book, he didn't have anything else on him.The security director held the government telephone number book proudly: "What is this? This is the evidence of your deception! With a phone number, you can pretend to be the mayor. If the real mayor comes, you need at least ten or eight small cars. " "What did I lie to?" "This is exactly the question we want to ask you, please explain it quickly!" "I am the mayor, and I am mainly here to know whether the city, county, and township governments have recently driven a small car to your village Things that add to the burden." Everyone laughed, and obviously no one believed it.

The security director said: "It seems that you are dishonest. If you don't explain your motives and whether you have any accomplices, just stay here. You have more than 1,000 yuan here, and we will keep it for you. These days Food expenses are paid from here, and whenever someone from the government comes, they will take you away in a car." He sent a young man and the old housekeeper to put Mayor Zheng under house arrest. The two people entangled him, and he couldn't get away. Not only did the mobile phone have no signal here, but the landline phone didn't work. If he wanted to go back, he had to wait for people from the township, county, or city government to come to check or visit by car, but he couldn't help but feel troubled inside. Whether Qing hopes to have a car come sooner or not.If a car arrives, he can get rid of the embarrassing situation, prove his identity, and return to the city to preside over normal work. This is a good thing, but on the other hand, it proves that the documents he signed and issued have not been implemented, which is a bad thing.If there is no car, it is a good thing to prove that the documents signed and issued have been implemented, but I will be trapped in the village for a long time, the mayor will disappear, the government will be anxious, and my family will also be anxious, which is a bad thing.
