Li Yuanlang was very surprised when he mentioned the word "Beijing".

"Comrade Minghua, what level do you mean?"

Gao Minghua hesitated, but he wanted to speak but stopped.

"You just say who it is, you won't scare me."

After thinking for a while, Gao Minghua gritted his teeth and told the truth, "Deputy Director Guo Ziping, forty years ago, when he was in high school in our province, Dong Dagang's father saved his life."

"After Deputy Director Guo was transferred to the capital, Zhang Minqing asked Dong Dagang to take him to the capital three times, and only once did Deputy Director Guo meet Zhang Minqing."

"In recent years, the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection has successively received letters reporting Zhang Minqing. Every time Deputy Director Guo greets the province, we have to hold on without doing so."

Guo Ziping?

Li Yuanlang searched for this person's name in his mind, but he didn't think of who it was.

Gao Minghua continued to reveal, "Guo Ziping is the deputy director of Chief Wang's office."

It's from Wang Minghong's office!

This news was enough to shock Li Yuanlong.

You know, Wang Minghong has a special relationship with him, he is his sister's father-in-law, and he holds a high position. In addition, he has a very close relationship with his father-in-law.

Li Yuanlang understood that the reason why Gao Minghua exposed Zhang Minqing at such a moment was that he would know his special identity.

In other words, Gao Minghua wanted to test Li Yuanlang with the matter of Zhang Minqing to see if he dared to touch it.

Because in Lanqiao City, only Li Yuanlong has this ability.

It depends on whether he has the courage or not.

Li Yuanlang touched his chin and thought for a while, "Comrade Minghua, let me consider this matter before making plans."

"Okay." Gao Minghua's eyes suddenly became dull and he stood up and was about to take away the report letter, but was stopped by Li Yuanlang. "Let me temporarily leave it here. After reading it, I'll have someone send it to you."

Gao Minghua nodded.

After seeing him off, Li Yuanlang called Fang Yan in.

Pointing to these letters of complaint, he said, "Xiao Fang, please sort out these letters and leave them to me when you get off work."

"Yes." Fang Yan took the order to leave.

Throughout the morning, Li Yuanlong met with several major government officials one after another.

Among them is Zhou Weibin, the director of the Municipal Finance Bureau.

According to Zhou Weibin's report, the financial situation of Lanqiao City is very unoptimistic.

There are two main parts of local fiscal revenue, one is the income of local enterprises and the other is tax revenue.

Others include superior funding, but these funding are all special funding for special use.

Since macro-control, economic development has no longer relied on real estate, which is equivalent to cutting off the right-hand man for local governments.

In the past, the government transferred land use rights for real estate development, and made a lot of money.

Nowadays, after policy adjustments, this situation will never return.

Without this, it will have little impact on coastal economically developed provinces, but a single economic place like Lanqiao City has suffered a catastrophe.

Originally, coal was produced here, but as coal resources gradually depleted and economic transformation reached a dead end, Lanqiao City's financial situation became even worse.

In Zhou Weibin's words, he doesn't dare to go to the office every day, and there are too many people blocking the door and asking for money.

The city's finances only have a little income, but it is not enough to give them all.

If you don't give it, just whisper in his office, which made his head hurt and he couldn't work.

Li Yuanlang understood Zhou Weibin's difficulties, and this phenomenon was exactly the same as Daiding County in the past.

Mainly, in recent years, the economic development of northern cities has fallen into a difficult period.

Over-exploitation of natural resources in the early stages has led to signs of exhaustion.

Now, after the policy adjustment, random mining is not allowed, so some related enterprises have gone bankrupt and many laid-off workers have emerged.

People move live trees and die, and a large number of laid-off workers go to developed southern cities to work hard, and the population loss is severe.

With fewer people, relative consumption is also reduced. In a vicious cycle, the local economy can only get worse and worse.

When listening to the director of the Municipal Investment Promotion Bureau report on the investment promotion situation, Li Yuanlang deeply felt that the investment promotion work in Lanqiao City can be said to be a stagnant pool.

Investment promotion work has not been successful in recent years.

Any enterprises brought in did not drive the local economic development. On the contrary, many enterprises, after enjoying government preferential measures, make enough money and leave.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              �

Immediately afterwards, another company came to me and copied it. In the end, it was not only the city but also the workers who were cheated.

Li Yuanlang questioned: "The merchants recruited and we all signed contracts. They violated the contract regulations. The city can sue them through legal procedures. How can such people lead the way?"

The director of the China Merchants Bureau complained, "Secretary Li, we don't want to sue. You said that a lawsuit involves manpower, material resources and financial resources, and it cannot be judged in less than a year or two."

"And, with our current environment in Lanqiao City, it is not enough to attract foreign merchants. Therefore, when we negotiate with each other, we can only lower our attitude and promise many preferential policies, otherwise we will not invest in a factory at all."

"To be honest, every time I go to another place to negotiate, I will return without success."

The economic environment of Lanqiao City is so poor that Li Yuanlang feels suffocated.

This is the biggest challenge he has faced since he took up his leadership position.

At noon, Li Yuanlang went to the municipal party committee cafeteria for dinner.

The municipal party committee canteen has three floors in total.

On the first floor are dining at employees of the municipal party committee.

The leaders of the municipal party committee on the second floor had a meal.

The third floor is full of private rooms, used for official entertainment.

Of course, there is a difference between the leaders of the municipal party committee and ordinary employees when they have meals.

First of all, we are more attentive in selecting ingredients, mainly focusing on green and pollution-free.

Secondly, in terms of cooking skills, the cafeteria has a special chef's spoon, and the taste is definitely not inferior to that of a big hotel.

Li Yuanlang just walked into the room on the second floor. Lou Anguo came forward and suggested: "Secretary Li, there is a private room on the second floor. If you need it, you can go to the private room for dinner. I'll send it to you."

Li Yuanlang looked at the two round tables placed in the restaurant and waved his hand, "No need, comrades are all here, I don't want to make it special."

Lou Anguo nodded awkwardly and said, "Secretary Li has a high style, so I want to be narrow-minded."

Li Yuanlong did not take the initiative, so he strided towards the pickup and took a plate to pick up the meal.

Due to depression, Li Yuanlong only chose three dishes and a small bowl of rice.

When I walked over, I saw Jing Boxiao, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, Qian Yizhong, Minister of United Front Work, Hong Guangju, Minister of Organization, and Li Lan, Minister of Propaganda, sitting on the round table.

Everyone greeted him one after another.

Li Yuanlang sat next to Jing Boxiao, and Lou Anguo also sat over after picking up the meal.

Jing Boxiao took the initiative to say: "Secretary Li, today's braised lion head is good. You are here to have a meal. Secretary-General Lou specially ordered the canteen to add food, and we all borrowed it."

Lou Anguo hurriedly explained: "Deputy Secretary Jing was joking. Our daily meals are good. We can eat braised lion heads every month, but today it's just a coincidence."

Qian Yizhong is in his fifties and wears black-framed glasses with thick lenses, like a knowledgeable scholar.

He shook his head and said slowly, "Secretary Boxiao is right. If you don't say anything else, this braised lion head tastes much better than usual, soft and moderately soft, and has a sweet taste."

Minister of Propaganda Li Lan was over forty, and she looked capable with her short hair combed to her ears.

She tasted it in the soup and kept nodding, "It's really sweet."

Hong Guang looked down and ate, took a sip of soup, but there was no lion's head on the plate.

Li Lan asked him: "Why didn't Minister Hong hold a braised lion's head?"

"Losing weight, the doctor asked me to eat less meat and eat more vegetarian food, which is good for my health." After saying that, Hong Guangqiao glanced at Li Yuanlang.

Li Yuanlang was picking up a mouthful of braised lion's head. He is from the north and likes salty but sweet food.

After taking a bite of the lion's head with a noticeable sweet taste, Li Yuen Long did not make any comments.

Instead, he chatted with Jing Boxiao and asked Hong Guangju about the situation of cadres across the city.

After dinner soon, Li Yuanlang said hello to everyone and walked out of the second floor restaurant.

As soon as he left, Qian Yizhong looked at Li Yuanlang's plate and said meaningfully: "It seems that our Secretary Li doesn't like the sweet braised lion head, so he only took one bite."

The speaker has no intention, and the listener has his heart.

Lou Anguo remained silent, but he quietly wrote it down in his heart.

Later, he contacted the deputy secretary-general in charge of the canteen and told him, "Secretary Li doesn't like sweet mouths, so in the future, you should put less sugar or not put sugar in the canteen's cooking."

Of course, Li Yuanlang definitely doesn't know about this kind of thing.
