It seems that Man Baoyuan is indeed strictly controlled by his wife. He and Liu Yanfang are both official cadres, and their salaries are not low. They should be considered "rich families" in the entire Beiluan District.
But at that time, cigarettes cost three yuan a pack, which was very good. After all, in this remote place, the culture of corruption and bribery had not yet formed. Unlike now, any district mayor would not smoke less than 30 years old.
The price is 1 yuan per pack, and some are even 50 or 60 yuan per pack. And the three yuan in 1991 is not the same concept as the three yuan now.
"District Chief Man, let's talk about the situation in our Beiluan District."
Yu Yan smoked a cigarette and said in a very casual tone. He and Man Baoyuan had not dated before. It was the first time he came to visit, so it was not easy to chat with him about daily life, so he could only go straight to the topic.
Man Baoyuan smiled and said: "Secretary Yu used to work in the county party committee office and should be quite familiar with the situation in Beiluan District. Beiluan District has one town and five townships, covering 241 square kilometers.
Ninety percent of the area is hilly, with more mountains and less land. There are a total of more than 79,000 people in the six towns and villages. Ninety-nine percent of the population is agricultural. The non-agricultural population actually only consists of district and township cadres."
Yu Yan naturally knew about this situation. Knowing that he was coming to Beiluan District to take up the post, Yu Yan had to familiarize himself with these basic information.
"So what is the income situation of the people and the district fiscal revenue situation?"
Man Baoyuan glanced at him and said: "Last year, the per capita net income of the district was 152 yuan. The district fiscal revenue was 22,400 yuan, and the expenditure was 41,300 yuan. Basically
We rely on fiscal transfer payments to make ends meet.”
Man Baoyuan's tone was very calm, without the slightest embarrassment. Beiluan District is a typical remote poverty-stricken area. It has never been able to balance its income and expenditure. Its economic operation relies entirely on fiscal transfer payments. To put it bluntly, it relies on financial aid from superiors.
Over time, in an agricultural area with no township enterprises at all, it was not easy to support cadres.
Yu Yan's eyebrows suddenly frowned. He was in a hurry. Before he came, he just briefly familiarized himself with the basic information of Beiluan District. However, he did not expect that Beiluan District could not even support itself and had to spend nearly twice as much money every year.
deficit.
If he were a "veteran cadre" from Beiluan District, he would naturally treat this matter with the same indifference as Man Baoyuan.
The problem is he is not!
Secretary Yu came here because he wanted to revitalize the economy of Beiluan District.
But such a foundation is really too bad. People say that embroidery on sacks is too poor. Right now in Beiluan District, it’s not even a sack. It’s just a piece of rotten rag, full of holes. How can you embroider it?
A sarcastic smile flashed across Man Baoyuan's lips.
Little baby, do you understand now? Beiluan District is not a hot spot. You came here to get gold plating, which is a miscalculation. Even a native Beiluan like him can't live in this ghost place for a moment.
Are you willing to stay longer, let alone a student cadre like Yuyan who graduated from a prestigious school?
Yu Yan naturally noticed the fleeting sneer on Man Baoyuan's face, and felt a little unhappy in his heart. After all, you are also from Beiluan. Your hometown is Zhulin Township. Beiluan District is so poor. As a district member,
Long, but it seems that the matter has nothing to do with him, which is too heartless and unjust.
"So, may I ask Mayor Man, what are your plans for the future economic development of the district? How can we make the economic situation of Beiluan District improve quickly?"
Yu Yan asked calmly, the polite smile on his face gradually disappeared.
Liu Yanfang also sat aside. After hearing what Yu Yan said, she glanced at her man. Even she could tell that there was a hint of questioning in Yu Yan's words.
It seems that young people are young people, and they are inevitably full of energy.
You just arrived today and you already want to suppress the district chief?
Man Baoyuan also became serious and asked: "Secretary Yu is a cadre sent by the county, so he must see further than us. So, Secretary Yu, is there any good way to quickly improve the economic situation of Beiluan District?
"
This is a bit vindictive.
Liu Yanfang stepped on Man Baoyuan's toes under the table. She invited Yu Yan to come and sit down tonight. Liu Yanfang's purpose was to improve the relationship between the two families. Man Baoyuan's attitude was probably going to be bad.
Yu Yan thought for a while and said: "District Chief, let's analyze it. The biggest disadvantages of Beiluan District are nothing more than three points. First, it is located in a remote location and has inconvenient transportation. It is difficult to obtain funds and technology from outside.
It is difficult to get out of some of our own special products. Secondly, as a purely agricultural area, Beiluan District has many mountains and little land, and the per capita cultivated land is not enough. It is obviously not feasible to just think of ways to deal with agriculture.
The third and most important point is the issue of the ideological concepts of the cadres and the masses. Our ancestors have suffered in this valley for hundreds of thousands of years, and many ideas have become rigid. Few people want to go out and see the outside world.
The world, to learn advanced experience and technology from outside. I think this is the most important obstacle restricting the economic development of our Beiluan District. Now the country is vigorously pursuing reform and opening up, and all parts of the country, especially coastal areas, are vigorously promoting
The change of thinking. The reason why they can develop rapidly is not only the right time and place, but also the people and people. We are too far behind in this aspect."
"Yes, I completely agree with Secretary Yu's analysis. The problem is obvious and can be seen by everyone. But it is not easy to change it."
"No matter how difficult it is, you have to change it, otherwise there will be no way out!"
Yu Yan said firmly.
Man Baoyuan twitched the corner of his mouth, smiled again, and said: "Secretary Yu, it's easy to say but hard to do. The first one is that it is located in a remote location and has inconvenient transportation. This is difficult to change. We can't change it.
Beiluan District helps the county seat, right? Beiluan District is more than 30 kilometers away from the county seat. Just to build this asphalt road, I don’t know how much it will cost. This cannot be changed by relying on Beiluan District’s own strength.
The superiors must pay attention and allocate funds. I am afraid that even the county does not allocate such a large sum of money."
Yu Yan frowned and said as if talking to himself: "The superiors don't have money, let's find a way ourselves."
Man Baoyuan almost sneered.
Who is this?
Do you really think you are a god and omnipotent? Find your own solution? What do you think? Robbing a bank!
Man Baoyuan did not go into Yu Yan's words and said to himself: "The second point is that there are many people but little land, which is also the actual situation. There are so many paddy fields in Beiluan District, and the population is large. How to change this? Change the dry fields to dry fields.
Into paddy fields?”
Yu Yan said calmly: "Even if all dry fields are converted into paddy fields, you won't be able to make a fortune just by farming."
Man Baoyuan was about to get angry. Isn't this disrespectful? Fortunately, he finally remembered that the person sitting next to him was not the boy next door who had just graduated, but his superior, the serious district party secretary.
.
During off-duty hours, people came to visit me and got angry at the secretary over work-related matters.
"So what does Secretary Yu want to do? If we don't farm, how can we let everyone go out to work?"
Man Baoyuan suppressed the displeasure in his heart and asked.
"The key is to change our thinking. Without changing our thinking and keeping our eyes firmly fixed on the existing production model, it will not work anyway."
Yu Yan also noticed the antagonism in Man Baoyuan's heart, but remained unmoved at all. Some things can be fought, but important matters must not be fought with each other. To change the cadres' thinking, we must first start with Man Baoyuan, the district chief.
Start. Of course, the change in concepts can be done slowly and gradually in the work. But the persistence of the top leader is itself the basic prerequisite for subtle changes.
Man Baoyuan wanted to laugh at him again, but he held it back. He also vaguely felt that he really needed to change his thinking in order to develop. Maybe the baby secretary was pretending in front of him, but it was undeniable, Yu Yan said
It makes some sense.
"District Chief, what we just analyzed were the unfavorable factors. Now let's analyze the favorable aspects, how about it?"
Man Baoyuan picked up the tea cup and took a sip, handed Yu Yan a cigarette, lit one himself, and said, "Okay, I'm all ears."
It seems that this district mayor's addiction to smoking is quite serious.
Seeing that Man Baoyuan's words were always a bit harsh, Liu Yanfang was angry and anxious, but it was inconvenient to criticize Man Baoyuan in front of Yu Yan, so she quickly came out to smooth things over and said with a smile: "Secretary Yu, eat some melon seeds. Xiao
There is nothing to explain about the place.”
"Ah, thank you!"
Yu Yan replied with a smile, Yi Yan grabbed a few melon seeds in his hand and was silent.
"Sister-in-law, I want to borrow someone from you!"
After a while, Yu Yan said to Liu Yanfang with a smile.
Liu Yanfang was a little confused and said: "Secretary Yu, I am the only one in that office."
Man Baoyuan also looked at Yu Yan, wondering what medicine he was selling in his gourd.
Yu Yan smiled, pointed at Man Baoyuan, and said: "Sister-in-law, the person I want to borrow is your husband, District Chief Man!"
The two of them were even more confused. Liu Yanfang smiled and asked: "This is strange. Secretary Yu, what are you doing with Lao Man? You don't want to ask Lao Man to play cards, do you?"
It’s not surprising that Liu Yanfang thinks this way. In fact, the main activities of district and township cadres at night are to play cards and bet a small amount of money for everyone to have fun. Man Baoyuan will occasionally participate, but he must report to Liu Yanfang in advance and receive "activity
"Funds", otherwise the dignified district chief will have to pay on credit if he goes to the card table.
Too bad!
Man Baoyuan smiled and said: "I didn't expect that Secretary Yu also likes to play cards."
Yu Yan smiled and said: "I didn't say I wanted to play cards. That's what I thought, District Chief Man. What is the actual situation in our Beiluan District? Just reading the information in the newspaper is not intuitive enough. I want to spend half a
In a month to a month, I will go to the towns and villages below to take a look and get a detailed feel. I am not familiar with the roads and I don’t know the people, so I just want to work hard for the district chief and go for a walk with me!”
