"Secretary Li is new here. He needs to adapt to the environment and get into his role. I won't disturb you anymore. There are still things in the province and we have a long time to come."

Holding Li Yuanlang's hand, Man Zhiyong continued: "Secretary Li, I wish you success and success in your work. Goodbye."

Watching Man Zhiyong's car disappear from sight, Fan Jun said with regret: "Vice Minister Man is not satisfied with our reception work. If I had known, I would have had a drink at noon. Our city's Lanqiao

Bai is still pretty good.”

Li Yuanlang did not pursue the topic, but suggested: "Mayor Fan, please move to my office. We need to have a chat."

Fan Jun nodded and followed Li Yuanlang towards the secretary's office.

Sitting on the sofa, Fang Yan brought the brewed tea, turned around and left knowingly.

Looking at Fang Yan's back, Fan Jun asked: "Secretary Fang speaks and behaves appropriately. It seems that Secretary Li has taught well."

Li Yuanlang said: "Fang Yan has been following me since I was in Germany. He is a good young man and I used him smoothly, so I transferred him here."

"That's fine, I don't have to worry about Secretary-General Lou looking for a secretary for you." After Fan Jun finished speaking, he looked around Li Yuanlang's office and pointedly said: "I heard that Secretary Li abandoned the original office as soon as he came here.

According to regulations, we need to conduct a large-scale screening of the office buildings of leading cadres in the city and clear out the excess. This is a big project and thankless."

"Mayor Fan." Li Yuanlang said seriously: "Inventorying office buildings may seem like a small matter, but in fact it has a huge impact. Cadres lead by example and strictly follow the standards, which itself shows the sense of responsibility and self-discipline of public servants."

"Villages look at villages, households look at households, and the masses look at cadres. People compare with each other and like to imitate the behavior of cadres. To put it bluntly, we are the leaders and role models."

"As cadres, every word, every move, every move is seen by the common people, because we are public figures, live under the spotlight, and are subject to judgment."

"Mayor Fan, I hope you can cooperate with me in this matter, carry out the investigation to the end, and retreat when necessary, so that the general public in the city can see the firm determination of our municipal committee not to engage in specialization!"

Fan Jun savored Li Yuanlang's words and reluctantly answered for a long time: "Since Secretary Li is resolute, I will just follow your orders."

Li Yuanlang waved his hand, "Mayor Fan has already said this, we are partners, a cooperative relationship of mutual support and mutual trust."

"If you have different opinions, you can put them forward and we will discuss them together and find a solution together."

"Secretary Li, if you say this, I will speak frankly." Fan Jun said: "I support the inventory of office buildings. But have you thought about what to do with the cleared areas? It's not possible.

It’s also a waste of resources.”

"We can use the vacant space for other purposes without wasting resources."

"Okay." Fan Jun didn't want to waste any more time on this matter, "You are the secretary, you have the final say."

Seeing that Fan Jun was about to stand up and leave, Li Yuanlang raised his hand to hold him back, "Mayor Fan, don't leave in a hurry, there is one more thing I want to communicate with you."

"Say." Fan Jun crossed his arms and leaned hard on the back of the sofa, looking absent-minded.

Li Yuanlang said: "Before I came, Vice Minister Man and I talked about the need for an additional standing committee member of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee. At present, there are two candidates, one is Shangcheng District Party Committee Secretary Wu Zhixian, and the other is Yuge County Party Committee Secretary Tang

River."

"Mayor Fan, I would like to hear your opinions on this matter?"

Fan Jun pondered for a moment and said: "The Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government are located within the jurisdiction of Shangcheng District. Logically speaking, Wu Zhixian should join the Standing Committee. His two previous secretaries were both members of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee."

"However, Yuge County's economic aggregate has always been ranked first in our city's counties and districts. The top leader of the best economic county also serves as a member of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee, and he deserves the title."

"The most important thing is that Tang Jiang served as Secretary Nie's secretary and was highly regarded by Secretary Nie. Of course, this is just my personal opinion. The important task of recommending candidates to the provincial party committee must be made by Secretary Li alone."

It seems that Fan Jun's answer is ambiguous, but in fact it is very biased.

Speaking for Tang Jiang takes up a lot of intention.

Generally speaking, the first conversation between Li Yuanlang and Fan Jun was not in a harmonious atmosphere.

If there is no harmony, there is no harmony. Li Yuanlang did not expect Fan Jun to do anything, as long as he did not firmly oppose it.

However, the inventory of office buildings must continue and must be done well.

After all, this is his first kick as Secretary of the Lanqiao Municipal Party Committee. Whether this kick is good or not is related to the smoothness and prestige of his future work, and must not be taken lightly.

After sending Fan Jun away, Fang Yan came in and told Li Yuanlang that he had calls from several department heads who wanted to report to Li Yuanlang.

Among them are Shangcheng District Party Committee Secretary Wu Zhixian and Yuge County Party Committee Secretary Tang Jiang.

"Just the two of them, the rest will be arranged tomorrow."

It just so happened that I took this opportunity to take a closer look at these two people.

Tang Jiang is thirty-seven years old, of medium height, neither fat nor thin.

He had a sharp face and a pair of rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose. The biggest impression on Li Yuanlang was the bright light from his small eyes.

"Secretary Li, hello, I am Tang Jiang." Tang Jiang bowed slightly, with a charming look on his face.

Li Yuanlang stood up from his chair, shook hands with Tang Jiang, and motioned for him to sit opposite.

After the conference, Tang Jiang was not in a hurry to return to Yuge County. He directly called and stayed in the city just to see Li Yuanlang.

He knew very well that whether he could be promoted to the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, he had to pass the test of Li Yuanlang.

Opening his notebook, Tang Jiang talked eloquently, mainly talking about the layout and planning of Yuge County's economy in the past few years, especially after he became the secretary of the Yuge County Party Committee, and that the economy of Yuge County has been greatly improved.

Li Yuanlang listened carefully to Tang Jiang's report without saying a word.

In general, Tang Jiang's report was very complete and detailed. It seemed that he had made special preparations before, but there was one point that attracted Li Yuanlang's attention.

He asked: "Comrade Tang Jiang, the report I just heard from you mainly talked about introducing capital and technology to vigorously develop county industry, thereby improving the economic level of the county."

"What I want to ask is, Yuge County is a major agricultural county with a large area of ​​land. What policies have you adopted in terms of agriculture?"

Tang Jiang glanced at his notebook, looked up at Li Yuanlang and said: "With the instability of food prices in recent years, farmers have become less and less willing to farm. Most farmers have contracted out their land and moved to cities to work."

"In this way, you can save the cost of farming, earn a lot of income from part-time work, and improve your living standards. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

"Moreover, after acquiring a large amount of land, land contractors can plan the overall use of the land and plant cash crops."

"They adopt modern high-tech planting methods, which produce high yields and quick results, which greatly enhances the enthusiasm of land contractors. Especially in recent years, land contract fees have increased year by year, enriching farmers' pockets and encouraging more farmers to choose to contract land

go out."

"Farmers' pockets are bulging, and many people are buying houses in the county. At the same time, the sales of commercial housing in the county have also increased. Compared with last year, the price of commercial housing in the county has increased by 20%. This is a good example."

"Through land contracting, farmers' identities are also transformed into urban residents, which stimulates economic consumption in the county. This is an excellent thing."

Li Yuanlang fiddled with the signature pen in his hand and said thoughtfully: "What you said is just superficial. Have you considered the deeper things?"

"Land is the basis of farmers' survival. Farmers who do not cultivate the land become migrant workers. Most of them have low education and no skills, and can only engage in heavy physical labor."

"Manual labor depends on age. When you get older, you can no longer do it. Farmers can only live on the land contract fees, and their lives will decline exponentially. These are hidden dangers of instability."

"In addition, because land contractors have huge financial guarantees and technical support, the benefits from farming will only become higher and higher, transforming themselves from land contractors into agricultural capitalists."

"In this way, farming will only make money for agricultural capitalists, drain the value of the land, and lead to the pathological development of land resources. This will be a sad phenomenon."

"Therefore, revitalizing the rural economy, adhering to the priority development of rural agriculture, upholding the dominant position of farmers, and promoting common prosperity for farmers are the top priorities."
