"Looking at the situation in our county, the streets should still be as they were ten years ago. I asked the old residents on the streets in our county. In their memories, the old streets in the county have remained unchanged for at least ten years. The streets are full of potholes.
Sewage flows across the streets and alleys. There are only three public toilets in the entire county, and the filth is terrible. People are complaining. Director Zhang of the construction committee told me that the sewer pipelines in the county need to be renovated a long time ago, otherwise the situation will get worse.
But it's been delayed year by year, and it can't be renovated. The reason is that there is no money. The facilities in a People's Park are so old that even the people in our county are unwilling to go there. The cinema is a building from the 1970s and has been installed.
The supervisory department designated the building as dangerous and demanded immediate renovation, but there was still no money."
Shen Zilie's words were high-spirited and he listed the facts at his fingertips. This is something that everyone here usually knows. It's okay to get used to it over time. However, when it was brought up at the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee today, it seemed a bit unacceptable, especially since this has not yet happened.
The acting county magistrate, who is fully integrated into Nantan, made such sharp remarks.
"Actually, everyone knows about these predicaments. It's not that the county doesn't want to renovate or build new buildings, but it has no money in its pockets. How can it be renovated? Nantan Middle School was built the year before last, and the project funds have not yet been paid to the Liyang Second Construction Division.
, this year I have received two calls from the manager of Liyang Second Construction Division, threatening me that if the project debt is not paid off by the end of this year, he will bring hundreds of workers and their families to our county government to celebrate the New Year. This situation
Now, how can the county still have the money to invest in these expenditures related to people’s livelihood?”
The conference room seemed unusually quiet, and even the sound of a certain member of the Standing Committee drinking water was very clear.
"I know that many people must be muttering in their minds at this time, since the county's finances are so difficult, what kind of industrial development zone should we build? Doesn't it cost money to build a development zone? Not only does it cost money, it will definitely cost a lot of money. This
Aren't they polar opposites?" Shen Zilie asked another question, which is also what many members of the Standing Committee present have in mind.
"Yes, I admit that in order to build this industrial development zone, investment must be made, and the investment will not be small. The first is the infrastructure construction of the industrial development zone. This is a big expenditure. It is necessary to establish such an organization, prepare personnel, and start operations.
The expenses, all these bits and pieces, must be quite a lot, but what if we don't build this industrial development zone?" Shen Zilie asked back.
"What will happen if we don't do it? You can predict that if we don't do it in Nantan, we can only live a tight life like now, tightening our belts at any time. If we want to do anything, we can only fantasize and wait and see.
Can pie fall from the sky, is such a good thing?" Shen Zilie's tone became more intense.
"We all know that a large agricultural county like Nantan has a weak tax base and poor tax sources. In a sense, the collection of agricultural taxes has made the relationship between our cadres and the masses more tense. But now that food prices continue to be low, the agricultural structure is adjusting
It can be said that the problem of food and clothing has been solved in rural areas, but the problem of money bag has not been solved. A large number of surplus labor cannot be digested locally and has to go out to work in coastal areas, and these young and strong laborers go out to work.
There are also many problems brought by other places, such as being unable to help when farming is busy in rural areas, and being unable to take care of the elderly and children at home. Going home every year not only increases the traffic pressure, but is also a huge consumption expense. Why can't we absorb these surpluses by developing our local industry?
Where’s the labor force?”
"Under the current circumstances, I think that only by developing industry, and only by developing industry, can our financial and taxation system in Nantan enter a relatively healthy and good operating mechanism, and can we truly solve the increasingly severe labor force problem in our rural areas. The problem of surplus, under the current mechanism, without the industrial economy as the engine, nothing can be discussed."
"If you want to build this industrial development zone, Shen also knows that there are risks, but to put it in simpler terms, if you don't try, there is no risk, but you will never gain anything. If you try, you may encounter some setbacks and failures. , but if you don’t try, how do you know it won’t work? To be a leading cadre is to dare to take on responsibilities, dare to act, and dare to be the first. The ancients said that it is shameful to avoid trouble for an official. I think this sentence is worth thinking about. "
"Haha, County Magistrate Shen, please calm down. I think we are here to discuss and study this work out of public interest and out of our sense of responsibility as first-level leading cadres. There are no personal feelings involved. I see you You have misunderstood me. I am not against the county's investment promotion to develop industry. In fact, hasn't the county been focusing on investment promotion? The benefits of industrial development are needless to say. I just want to remind you that the current conditions Is it mature and is the time right?"
Seeing that the standing committee members were all touched by Shen Zilie's high-spirited and generous words, especially the financial constraints of the county, which was obvious to all, many people felt the same way. Qin Haiji knew that if he remained silent, it would be a bit of an anticlimax.
"From last year to this year, the central government has been cleaning up and rectifying the economic field. Now the central government is also very vigilant about the impact of the rapid entry and development of foreign investment and private economy on the national economy. To be precise, the turmoil last year was the result of a peaceful war between domestic and foreign hostile forces. The evolution is subtle and accumulated, and the three feet of ice are not frozen overnight. Politics and economy have always been inseparable and cannot be separated. The proportion of foreign capital and private economy in the national economy continues to rise, which will affect the socialist nature of our country. I think as a first-level leading cadre, I really need to think about what kind of changes it will bring." Qin Haiji spoke slowly and in a serious tone, "This industrial development zone is to develop the economy, but whether it is necessary to develop the economy is not necessary. The nature of socialism or the nature of capitalism? I believe everyone is reading newspapers and TV shows, and the central government has made it clear on this issue. That is, developing the economy and improving people's living standards cannot be based on changing the socialist nature of our country."
Every word Qin Haiji said weighed more than a thousand words.
Finally came.
In the end, the debate on this issue has to be escalated. Although Shen Zilie really doesn't want to get entangled in this issue, it seems that it is unavoidable.
Shen Zilie glanced at Ande Jian, who still had a calm expression on his face. This guy was really stable, so he was the only one to go into battle shirtless.
