The Coaster brought by Yuan Kegong this time has only thirteen seats in total except for the driver. Ten seats are occupied by people from the province. Now only one seat next to Yuan Kegong and two seats behind him are left. People sit.
Yuan Kegong asked Li Xiaoning to sit down, but where to sit, there was a seat next to Yuan Kegong. Sitting here was a very high treatment. The secretary-general, deputy governor and secretary Fang Jingwen did not dare to sit in this seat. Li Xiaoning sat down directly. Will Yuan Kegong feel that he is not polite?
But it would not be appropriate to sit behind Yuan Kegong. Firstly, it would feel like he was sitting on a cold bench. Secondly, Yuan Kegong would definitely want to talk to him. If he sat behind him, wouldn't it mean that Yuan Kegong would turn around and talk to him, which would be even more embarrassing? It's rude.
Of course, if Yuan Kegong specified where Li Xiaoning should sit, this problem would not exist, but if Yuan Kegong did not say so, it would be difficult for Li Xiaoning.
After all, Li Xiaoning was also a secretary. After a moment's hesitation, he already had some concerns. He sat down next to Yuan Kegong and said with a smile: "Then I will be closer to the chief so that I can report to the chief more conveniently."
Yuan Kegong was very satisfied with Li Xiaoning's performance. This young man was well-controlled, neither humble nor overbearing. He was a person who achieved great things. It seemed that Lin Guodong was not lying to him. This Li Xiaoning was indeed worthy of training.
Li Xiaoning never knew why he was suddenly seconded to Jiangnan Province to serve. In fact, this matter is very simple. It was the result of a phone call between Lin Guodong and Yuan Kegong. Lin Guodong and Yuan Kegong once studied at the Central Party School together, and both of them were He is a rising star among the top management, and he can be considered a like-minded person. He has relatively many contacts in private. Ever since Lin Guodong found out about Li Xiaoning and Tang Wei, he has always had a knot in his heart and continued to let Li Xiaoning work under him. It's impossible, but at the same time, he appreciates Li Xiaoning's talent very much, and he has never given up the idea of making Li Xiaoning his son-in-law, so he can't bring himself to punish Li Xiaoning, and he is unwilling to give up such a talent to others. , after much thought, Yuan Kegong came to mind.
It happened that Yuan Kegong had dealt with Li Xiaoning once and had a pretty good impression of Li Xiaoning, so he readily agreed.
The reason why Yuan Kegong listed Xinpi County as the inspection target this time was that in addition to Xinpi County being a large agricultural county, he also wanted to take the opportunity to see how Li Xiaoning was doing. Looking at it now, at least Li Xiaoning has not disappointed him. .
All leaders have the idea of doing a good job. Discovering and cultivating talents can bring a great sense of accomplishment, and leaders are particularly keen on discovering and cultivating young talents, because young people have not yet developed their minds and minds. They are not as tactful as old comrades. They are more likely to be loyal to leaders who have benefited from them. Their development potential is much greater than that of old comrades.
Yuan Kegong, like Lin Guodong, was an airborne feudal official. The political structure of Jiangnan Province had already been formed before he came. If he wanted to get a piece of the power cake that had been divided up, and get a big share, he would have to do it. While wooing the original forces, we must vigorously cultivate new forces of our own, and Li Xiaoning is undoubtedly a good training target.
Li Xiaoning didn't know that at this moment, the secretary of the provincial party committee in front of him had thousands of thoughts in his mind. As soon as he sat down, he heard Yuan Kegong ask again: "Where do you plan to take us to see?"
Yuan Kegong's question is as simple as the previous question, but the answer is equally difficult. Li Xiaoning wants to take Yuan Kegong to see where he can answer, but his own ideas conflict with those of the city and county. If it is completely According to your own thinking, you will definitely offend Qin Fengxiang and Lian Yu. As the saying goes, the county magistrate is not as good as the current manager. No matter how much the provincial party secretary appreciates you, it is not a wise move to offend your immediate boss. But if Qin Fengxiang and Lian Yu were originally The agreed-upon plan was directly presented, so what could he do to impress Yuan Kegong? If he could not impress Yuan Kegong, wouldn't it be a waste of this opportunity to be alone with the provincial party committee secretary? Such an opportunity is rare, and he did nothing this time. It will be difficult to think about the next time.
Fortunately, Li Xiaoning was prepared. He replied calmly: "The county originally thought that it would be noon when the chief came to our place. After riding in the car for several hours, we considered taking a rest first. Secretary Lian said I will report on the situation in the county and then have lunch. The inspection is scheduled for the afternoon. However, I think that the chief came so early and must be eager to see the situation first, so I boldly made my own decision and asked the chief to go to the towns below first. , go back and rest again,”
Yuan Kegong nodded and said: "We are just resting in the car, let's take a look first and then talk."
Li Xiaoning continued: "The county originally prepared three points, one each in the south, middle and north. The best one is in the middle, the worst one is in the north, and the average one is in the south. But I think the chief came here just to discover problems and supervise them. We are working, so I thought we should go directly to the village in the north where the conditions are relatively poor, and then I will take the chief to a place in the south to have a look,"
Yuan Kegong glanced at Li Xiaoning and said: "You have a good idea. If you want to be optimistic about it, you won't come to your famous poor county. Let's do as you say and go to the northern point first."
The inspection in Damiao Village went smoothly. Everything was better than expected. First of all, Lian Yu and the others were indeed well prepared. Secondly, what Li Xiaoning said to the village party secretary in advance worked. The farmers who were asked by Yuan Kegong all answered truthfully. Of course, it was definitely not a completely truthful answer. I said what I could say and what I couldn't say, I still didn't dare to say. However, the result still made Yuan Kegong very satisfied. He happily praised all the leaders present and praised their work well. It was still relatively solid, and the burden on farmers was not as heavy as he imagined. The leaders at the city and county levels were very happy, especially Lian Yu, who had a smile on his face.
But when the convoy was about to leave, hundreds of people from the neighboring Shuangmiao Village suddenly blocked the way and wanted to appeal to the provincial party committee secretary and complain about the disaster.
Qin Fengxiang had made it clear beforehand that whoever went wrong would be responsible, and that he would be responsible for whatever went wrong. He wanted to raise this inspection to a political level. Unexpectedly, such a big thing would happen, and Lian Yu was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. , hurriedly ran forward to organize the obstruction.
Yuan Kegong was not angry, but immediately got out of the car and said, "I am the secretary of the provincial party committee. Please tell me if you have anything."
Li Xiaoning took the opportunity to shout to the villagers: "Everyone must be polite and civilized. Secretary Yuan of the Provincial Party Committee is here to solve everyone's problems. If you have anything to say, just say it. If it can be solved, I guarantee it will be solved."
The villagers began to complain. They said that the waterlogging disaster was severe this year. The farmers were flooded and grains were not collected. However, the village cadres said that the national tax on royal grain was a fixed thing. No matter whether the harvest was good or bad, the tax should still be paid. The villagers asked the secretary to come Go to the village and ask for tax exemption and some relief.
Yuan Kegong immediately said: "Let's go to the village and have a look."
Everyone had no choice but to follow them. When they arrived at Shuangmiao Village, they saw that the disaster was indeed serious. Almost all the fields were flooded, and many houses were directly submerged in the water. Some houses even had only one roof exposed. There are hundreds of tents set up on a small highland. These tents are also extremely simple. A few wooden sticks of different thicknesses support the frame, and a piece of oilcloth or a woven bag is covered on top. This is a home, father-in-law. Mother-in-law, son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren are all squeezed into this one or two square meters.
Yuan Kegong's eyes were moist, and he suddenly cursed, then turned around and left.
Yuan Kegong is a well-known Confucian official. Before he became an official, he was a university professor. He usually behaved politely and politely. Today, he actually cursed and cursed. This showed that he was really angry. No one dared to speak, so they had to follow the order. Go back.
Because of the Shuangmiao Village incident, all subsequent inspections were stopped. Yuan Kegong did not return to the county or city, but directly held an on-site meeting in Shuangmiao Village to discuss how to fight and provide disaster relief.
Because the Shuangmiao Village Committee was also flooded, the meeting was held in a standing room. Yuan Kegong first expressed his position and offered Shuangmiao Village a tax exemption, not for one year, but for three consecutive years, and then asked Lian Yu and others to talk about disaster relief. measures and the ideas behind preventing floods.
After all, Lian Yu has been an old official for many years. Although the previous reports were all written by his secretary, he has read them too much and has something in his mind. After a short silence, he started talking endlessly, but let's talk about it. There are only a few ways to provide disaster relief, such as mobilizing all the people, sending cadres to the countryside, mobilizing all the water pumps in the county to the front line, and then allocating some disaster relief funds.
Yuan Kegong frowned as he listened to Lian Yu's words, and then asked: "How much money do you plan to allocate for disaster relief?"
Lian Yu stammered for a long time, talked about many of the county's difficulties, and then said that the maximum allocation could be 500,000.
Yuan Kegong became angry when he heard this and asked with a sullen face: "How many villagers are there in Shuangmiao Village?"
Lian Yu was confused. How could he know? He couldn't be sure and said a few hundred people. Yuan Kegong glared at him and said more than a thousand people.
Yuan Kegong shook his head and said: "It seems that you don't know, Li Xiaoning, you are the county magistrate, do you know?"
Li Xiaoning said calmly: "Shuangmiao Village is one of the largest natural villages in our Xinpi County. According to last year's statistics, the village has a total of 1,267 households and 4,786 people."
Yuan Kegong then said to Lian Yu: "You have been the leader for so many years, but your understanding of the following situation is not as good as someone who just came here a few days ago. Are you ashamed?"
At this time, the villagers were gathered around, and leaders from the county, township and two villages were also there. Lian Yu's face was as red as a burning cloud, and she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. At the same time, she also hated Li Xiaoning in her heart. It's like something. As for you, Li Xiaoning, I don't believe you can remember the situation of so many villages in the county so clearly. You must have planned it in advance and deliberately wanted to embarrass me in front of the Provincial Party Committee Secretary. Maybe the villagers of Shuangmiao Village were also arranged by you, Li Xiaoning, to file a complaint in advance.
After Yuan Kegong finished training Lian Yu, he went on to say: "The five hundred thousand disaster relief funds are divided among four thousand people, and each of them only receives one hundred yuan. It is not enough at all. If this doesn't work, we have to find another way. County Magistrate Li and Secretary Lian
He said he can only contribute 500,000 yuan. What about you? You are the county magistrate and are in charge of the economy. Can you contribute more?"
