The two groups of people were not together. Lu Weimin and others lived in the east end of Yahe, while Xing Guoshou lived in the west end of Yahe. It was still so far away to get together. They made an appointment to come and toast them almost as much as they were delicious, and they returned to their respective positions.
In addition, Shi Desheng had only five people, and Lu Weimin and others chose a small private room. Zhang Mingquan knew Lu Weimin's habits and was not particular about eating, especially he didn't like the grand occasion, so he ordered a few light dishes. Fortunately, he ordered a bottle of expensive red wine, which made the lobby manager look better.
"The people of Changzhou are not kind. Look, you order less and consume less, so people are not happy. Fortunately, Mingquan is tactful and knows to ask for a better bottle of red wine, otherwise they will really have to charge the bottle opening fee." Lu Weimin smiled and looked at Zhang Mingquan pouring wine, saying, "We are not so snobbish."
"Secretary Lu, don't talk about us anymore, we want to talk about our Futou." Pu Yan smiled cleverly, and Lu Weimin clapped his hands, "Yes, Pu Yan reminded me well. Otherwise, I will still say that I will say that, which will make our Futou cadres feel disappointed."
"I'm afraid the cadres in Futou feel lost for a long time. I feel that the cadres in Futou come to the region to do business, and compared with the cadres in Fengzhou and Huaishan, they are almost imposing." Jiang Bingling also interrupted: "This may be due to professional reasons. We are all in the financial department. Futou Finance is on the verge of bankruptcy, or it has gone bankrupt, so the people in the Finance Bureau will naturally be listless."
Jiang Bingling's words made the atmosphere dull.
"Pu Yan, Mingquan, the situation in the county is really so bad?" Lu Weimin seemed very calm. He was probably mentally prepared for this situation, but he was not sure how bad it was.
Jiang Bingling used a word, bankrupt, on the verge of bankruptcy, or has gone bankrupt. This word sounds very harsh, and the first-level government goes bankrupt, which seems very funny.
Pu Yan glanced at Zhang Mingquan and thought for a while, "I've just gone, because Secretary Lu, you haven't come back yet, and County Mayor Song has not yet formally studied the division of work of the county government. He just solicited my opinions and I have made a brief understanding. It should be said that the conditions in all aspects are very poor, and there are many problems. It is not an exaggeration to say that everything is incomplete. The key is that the amount of debt is too large. According to the current county fiscal budget revenue and expenditure situation every year, it cannot be paid off at all, and the debt will continue to grow. Many leading cadres are also pessimistic about excessive debts. They think that if the county does not have a special way to solve this problem, it may be unrealistic to pay off the debts of all parties. Moreover, even if the regional finance can strongly support it, the situation in the county within a few years will probably be very difficult. It is very uncomfortable to tighten the skin and pay off the debts, so everyone is a little dispersed and their emotions are very depressed."
Zhang Mingquan also added: "The main debt comes from the damage and restoration of bridges and roads caused by floods in 1992. Although there are some financial subsidies on it, it is far from enough. In addition, some infrastructure investments in education and health were not carefully planned, and they were big and had a small belly, which led to the accumulation of debts. The county's financial situation has not improved in recent years. The major townships have owed a lot in the agricultural tax and water conservancy fees. In addition, the last year, the number of farmers who died from drinking pesticides due to the collection of agricultural tax and water conservancy fees and double withdrawals, and the region has not taken extreme measures to collect agricultural tax and water conservancy fees and double withdrawals, so it is even more difficult for the finance side."
Zhang Mingquan's analysis was quite objective. This is actually a basic feature of poor counties in various economically weak counties. Without a solid industrial economy as a tax base, your finances will certainly not be able to support it. In the past two years, the state has passed tax reform, diversion of national and local taxes, and the majority of the tax revenue is collected from the central government. Local transfer payments from the central government can only be used to pay wages to ensure basic operation. In poor counties, even this is difficult to maintain. However, some investments such as education and health still fall on local governments. As a result, the finances in various places have also been burdened with a lot of burden, but they are particularly prominent in Futou.
"After all, it's a weak fiscal period. The fundamental reason for the weak fiscal period is that there is no solid industrial economy. Without industry, there is no rich tax base. With poor tax sources, how can your finances be rich? If you increase revenue and reduce expenditure, you will say that increasing revenue is the foundation. To increase revenue, you must further reform and opening up from your thoughts to actions, and attract investment. This is the truth for any county that wants to develop, but it is probably more urgent and practical for Futou." Lu Weimin probably considered this issue a long time ago. "Pu Yan, since you have been appointed from the Prefectural Committee, you may also have ideological preparations in your heart. Futou is not a place to enjoy happiness or a place to live. It is a good place to endure hardships and do things. If you want to do things and achieve results, it will be very suitable. I am also looking forward to doing something different here with everyone."
Pu Yan nodded with a serious expression, and the atmosphere in the private room seemed to be much more solemn.
Jiang Bingling ate the dishes in small mouths and lowered her eyelids to cover up the vibrations in her heart.
Although she had known about Lu Weimin's experience from the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee to the County Mayor and then to the County Party Committee Secretary, this was the first time she saw Lu Weimin speak in such a manner, which made her suddenly feel that the young secretary who had been burying his head in writing a report article under the lights in the dormitory was gone, and was replaced by the heavy back of a decision-maker who was in charge of the development direction of a county with a population of 700,000.
Pu Yan, who has always been a little unreasonable, also became particularly serious, which seemed to indicate that she had completed a transformation in a certain sense and truly entered the role.
As if he noticed the heavy atmosphere in the room, Lu Weimin smiled, "Don't worry too much. There must be roads before the car arrives at the mountain. Before **, it was also full of holes and holes. However, as long as you calm down and focus on development, all problems can be solved easily in the reform, opening up and development. We must have this confidence."
"Secretary Lu, as long as you say this, I feel at ease. To be honest, I have a brief understanding of the situation in the county these two days. Really, sometimes I feel cold in my heart when I lie in bed at night. I really feel like some people say that there is no treatment. There are so many various problems, such a big hole in debt, the county's fiscal revenue is only a little bit, and it is difficult to ensure the salary of cadres and employees. This has not yet been calculated. There are thick stacks of application reports for the various application requirements for fund payments submitted by Secretary Qiao. I looked at it and felt a little dizzy. I had to solve it in a rough calculation. After a rough calculation, there were millions, and there were only tens of thousands of yuan in the account of the Finance Bureau. The progress of agricultural tax treasury was very poor. I think it was just like a few years."
Pu Yan was probably really scared by the bad situation in Futou, so she didn't lose anything in front of Lu Weimin. "Yesterday, Director Zhou of the Education Bureau came to say that the salary of civilian teachers has been owed for half a year, and all townships have no money to pay. He came to the Education Bureau and told me clearly that if I don't pay, I'm afraid that some teachers will strike in September. If that's true, it's really the first time in the whole region and the province. I, the deputy county magistrate, will probably create the tragedy example of the shortest time in office in the country. How could I get stuck in it?"
Pu Yan's somewhat desolate words made Lu Weimin and Zhang Mingquan laugh. Lu Weimin laughed and said, "Don't worry, Pu Yan, even if someone is responsible for that kind of thing, I, the county party secretary, should be dismissed first. Didn't it mean that there were tall people holding on to the sky when the sky fell? Is it possible that my county party secretary, who is the tallest in Futou, should I be the title of the tallest one?!"
Pu Yan also smiled embarrassedly, "Secretary Lu, I am really worried, because I looked at the various application requests and reports pressed on the table, like stones pressing on my heart, making me feel unwilling to eat and sleep. I really want to hear you or County Magistrate Song pat my chest and say, Pu Yan, it's okay, this little thing, with a big stroke, three million and five million will be deposited, you can just arrange it to use it. Really, I really had this kind of dream last night, and I woke up in surprise. It was such a beautiful dream."
Pu Yan's words made Lu Weimin and Zhang Mingquan laugh again, and even Jiang Bingling couldn't help but smile.
Zhang Mingquan smiled on his face, and was also considering the beautiful county magistrate like a doll. This woman is really awesome. She is very good at using men's desire for protection and put herself in the prefectural committee where the weak desire male protection. Especially the posture she performed is indeed easy to make a man with a very face like the boss. At least Zhang Mingquan felt that he was a little moved, let alone a young boy like Lu Weimin.
"There will be bread, and there will be milk." Lu Weimin stopped laughing meaningfully, "The Prefectural Committee threw me into Futou not to let me enjoy the happiness and occupy the place, but to let me pull the cart and carry the load. If I can't do this, the Prefectural Committee wouldn't let me come."
Pu Yan nodded and smiled reservedly, "I have confidence in this."
"Well, by the way, before the division of labor in the county government has been decided, Pu Yan, you must get into the state as soon as possible. I talked with Mr. Pei of Luhai Group the day before yesterday. Luhai Group has fully advanced funds for construction on the Futou section of Fushuang Highway. After you go back, you can implement this matter as soon as possible and let the county transportation bureau contact Luhai Group. You must follow up and supervise the implementation. In addition, considering the transportation equipment difficulties of our county party committee and county government, Luhai Group temporarily borrows a Santana sedan. My opinion is to leave it to the county government office. Pu Yan, you can also implement this matter."
