The pursuit of a position in officialdom

Miao Chengyi said so, Li Wujiang didn't say anything else.

In the evening, Li Wujiang invited Jiang Guohua, Qian Shouxing, Ding Fangning, Qi Shaobo and others to a small gathering.

"Wujiang, you didn't get into trouble with Lao Miao today, did you?" Jiang Guohua spoke casually in front of Li Wujiang.

"Minister Jiang, just think about it, he can be as casual as you. If that leader is as approachable as you, our work as grassroots cadres will be easier." Li Wujiang put on a wry smile.

"You kid, you just fool me. Lao Miao is like that, putting on a stinky air all day long, thinking that someone owes him. But he won't get anything good from you."

Li Wujiang smiled and said, "Minister Jiang, you can't say this to trick me."

Qi Shaobo had a meal with such a big leader as Jiang Guohua for the first time. Hearing the tone and content of Li Wujiang's conversation with Jiang Guohua, he was terrified. No wonder Li Wujiang dared to bring him directly to Jiang Guohua.

"Wujiang, you Binzhou has been doing well recently, and other cities are envious. Is it Mayor Shouxing?"

"What are you talking about? Mayor Wujiang's way of doing things is not something that other cities can do. We can only stick our heads out and be scolded by Secretary Li and Governor Chen." Qian Shouxing said and stuck his head out.

"Brother Qian, you dare not say that. If other regions hear it, I will really be scolded. If Binzhou had half the foundation of Jiyang, I would not worry. Our foundation is not good, so the slow bird has to fly first." Li Wujiang said.

"Mayor Shouxing, look at Wujiang, he is asking for progress." Jiang Guohua said with a big laugh.

"Minister Jiang, when it comes to wanting to improve, which cadre doesn't want to improve? Look at our Mayor Shaobo, he works diligently and hard at his post, and he is very concerned about the construction of Binzhou. Do you think such a cadre should be improved? Mayor Shaobo, come, pour a glass of wine for Minister Jiang, so that he can see the sincerity of our Binzhou cadres."

Li Wujiang asked for an official position in front of Jiang Guohua, which made Qi Shaobo tremble in his heart. This is the Minister of Organization Department. If he is not careful, let alone improvement, it is hard to say where he will fall. However, it has come to this point, so he stood up and toasted Jiang Guohua.

"I said you don't drink good wine. It's hard to ask you to treat me to a meal."

"Minister Jiang, you know I'm a local cadre, unlike you provincial cadres. I'm paying out of my own pocket today. I'm a poor man."

"Hehe, Shouxing, have you ever seen such a poor man? He has a big boss' wife and is crying poor here. If we don't drink up this kid's good wine tonight, no one is allowed to leave. Come on, Shaobo, drink together."

The provincial leaders all know about Li Wujiang's family background. He runs a big company, which is not ordinary big. Everyone is envious when they know about it.

Qi Shaobo was relieved when he saw Jiang Guohua take the initiative to clink glasses with him, which meant that Jiang Guohua was willing to accept him. He knew that his own affairs were a big deal in front of him, but it was nothing in front of Jiang Guohua.

What Li Wujiang didn't expect was that he was running for others, and others were also looking for him to run for officials.

"Director Ma, this is how Binzhou's public security work is recently." Cheng Zhigang went to the Provincial Public Security Department to report to Ma Fuxian.

"It seems that you have done a good job in Binzhou's one-village-one-policeman work. I will bring comrades from the provincial department to visit you and learn from you in a while."

"This is Mayor Li's suggestion. This suggestion is very good. After implementation, it can promote the reform of grassroots police mechanisms and promote the sinking of police officers to ensure that major events do not leave the township and minor events do not leave the village."

"Is Lao Dai old enough?" Ma Fuxian asked suddenly.

"I will be old enough next month." Cheng Zhigang replied. Lao Dai is the executive deputy director of the Public Security Bureau and will retire next month when he reaches the age limit.

"Oh, Zhigang, have you reported the one-village-one-policeman work to Mayor Li?" Ma Fuxian asked jumping.

"Mayor Li has been busy with economic work recently. I am afraid that it will delay his work, so I have not reported to him during this period." Cheng Zhigang said awkwardly.

"You still have to take the initiative to report to Mayor Li. The leaders are very concerned about the work assigned by them. You take the initiative to report and he takes the initiative to ask. These are two different concepts. You are also an old comrade, and you know all this. You report to Mayor Li that the provincial department plans to hold a one-village-one-police on-site observation meeting in Binzhou next month, and strive for his support."

Ma Fuxian made it so clear that if Cheng Zhigang still can't do it, then there is nothing he can do.

"Haichen, it hasn't been long since you came to the Agricultural Bureau, and it seems that you have found a way to work." Li Wujiang said with a smile.

"Mayor Li, during this period, I led the comrades from the Agriculture Bureau to conduct visits and investigations in thirteen counties and cities in Binzhou, and exchanged views and investigated the agricultural conditions in various places. At present, Binzhou is a major agricultural city with a large rural population, and the main crops are rice, corn and other grain crops. In terms of economic crops, there are Chinese herbal medicines, apples and other products. Although we have a small population and a large amount of land, the level of mechanization is relatively low, and the per-acre operation efficiency is not high. In the next step, we will focus on high land yields and agricultural mechanization." After all, Du Haichen had followed Li Wujiang for a while, and now that he was the director of the Agriculture Bureau, he had learned some of Li Wujiang's skills.

"Okay, do a lot of research and get the real knowledge from the fields. This is the pragmatic work style of our cadres. Very good, you need to do a good job in rural areas around agriculture. The key to rural development is to solve the three rural issues. The so-called "three rural issues" refer to agriculture, rural areas, and farmers. The purpose of studying the three rural issues is to increase farmers' income, agricultural development, and rural stability. As a major agricultural country, my country's "three rural issues" are related to national quality, economic development, social stability, national prosperity, and national rejuvenation. You need to do more work around the three rural issues. Our Binzhou City is a major grain market, We must promote the industrialization, scale and mechanization of grain production to increase farmers' income. At the same time, you must develop cash crops according to the differences of various counties and districts, highlight the development of cash crops such as Chinese herbal medicine, forestry, fruits and vegetables, and strive to achieve one county, one industry. The implementation of the rural revitalization strategy requires both material and spiritual civilization, and special attention should be paid to improving the spiritual outlook of farmers. Rural civilization is about shaping the spirit. With a strong spirit, rural revitalization is full of motivation. Actively explore family traditions and family precepts, promote excellent family traditions, shape family virtues, and then drive the construction of social morality and boost the spirit of farmers. "

Chapter 542 Reflect on yourself, no one is perfect

"Adhere to institutional innovation, establish red and white councils, villagers' councils, formulate village rules and regulations, etc., to promote the transformation of customs; through advanced evaluation, moral points and other methods, strengthen traditional virtue education, and build a civilized village with harmonious families, neighborly care, honesty and courtesy, and diligence and thrift. Governance is the guarantee of rural civilization and a safeguard for rural revitalization. Improve the rural governance system that combines autonomy, rule of law, and moral governance, and build a rural governance pattern of co-construction, co-governance and sharing, so that rural society is full of vitality and harmonious and orderly. Build a safe village, realize "small things do not leave the village, big things do not leave the township", and enhance farmers' sense of gain, happiness, and security."

"Mayor Li, every time I come to you, I can learn a lot. Before I followed you, I only knew that you had a set of methods to grasp economic work, but I didn't expect that you also had so many methods to grasp agricultural work. Mayor Li, you still transferred me back, even if I am an ordinary comrade, I am willing to continue to learn by your side. There are too many things in you that are worth learning from." Du Haichen said.

"Haichen, no matter what position you are in, as long as you are willing to learn, there is knowledge everywhere. Especially in the rural frontline, there is a broad prospect and great achievements. We should learn from the common people and the grassroots frontline personnel with an open mind. We in Binzhou should not only focus on urban development, but also on the rural economy. Your responsibility and mission are very glorious. You should not learn from the construction department, which lacks foresight and long-term thinking in doing any work, and is short-sighted and short-sighted."

When it comes to urban planning, Li Wujiang is very annoyed. Li Wujiang's goal is to build Binzhou into a garden city in the province and the country, so he has high requirements for urban planning. When he was investigating in the Binzhou Construction Planning Bureau yesterday, Director Wu Shichang was scolded by him.

"Mayor Li, calm down. You are the only one in Binzhou who has such a broad mind and long-term vision. Binzhou is located in the northeast corner. Although it has a history, our current staff's long-term vision is still relatively limited. They only see the current development and cannot see the future changes. That's why the organization sent you to point out the direction for our Binzhou development."

"Haichen, you are good at flattering. But I like to listen." Li Wujiang said with a smile. "Binzhou wants to develop and create a good business environment and development environment. The key is to highlight software construction. How to make everyone feel at home and how to make everyone's eyes light up. The key depends on whether our cadres have innovative thinking and whether they can grasp the general trend of future development. If they are just based on the local complacency, they will be eliminated by history sooner or later. But you are right. If you want to change their thinking, you need to change their concepts. If you want to change their concepts, they need to go out and see more."

Here, Li Wujiang was talking to Du Haichen about Wu Shichang, but Wu Shichang ran to Pei Ruhai's office to cry.

"Mayor Pei, we can't carry out our work. Some people don't understand urban construction, so they give blind and chaotic orders. This will affect the overall urban construction plan of our Binzhou City. You have to speak for us." Wu Shichang is a professional, and he has been engaged in planning and construction for his whole life. When he was old, he was scolded by Li Wujiang for not understanding planning. If it were anyone, no one would be able to bear it.

"Old Wu, it's just a few words from Mayor Li, how come it's like this." Pei Ruhai criticized Wu Shichang on the surface, but in fact he was fanning the flames. He hoped that Li Wujiang and the people below would have a bad relationship, and he would be happy.

"This is not just a few words, this is simply a complete denial. Binzhou City's urban construction plan has consumed the efforts of so many of us, and it is denied just because it is denied, and we are given a month to come up with a new plan, otherwise we should resign voluntarily. Today, I came to you to resign from you. I can't do this job." Wu Shichang said angrily.

"Old Wu, it seems that you have a bad temper. Your resignation is not to satisfy others. Calm down. Urban planning is a big deal. It is not decided by one person. Submit the relevant planning proposals and we can discuss them at the Standing Committee. The right and wrong of the proposals will be decided by everyone, not just one person."

"Mayor Pei, you should take care of our comrades and know that it is difficult for us to carry out our work. Then I will send the proposals when I return." Wu Shichang came here to cry because he knew Pei Ruhai's background.

"Wujiang, during this period, I see that you have been very dedicated to your work, including agriculture, urban construction, investment promotion, and public security. You are all working hard." Now Ge Jiande's attitude towards Li Wujiang has changed drastically. Ever since Mu Liancheng arrived, he had a completely new understanding of Li Wujiang. Li Wujiang can reach the highest level, which only means that Li Wujiang's destination is not in Binzhou. Binzhou is just a springboard for Li Wujiang, and Li Wujiang only uses Binzhou as his testing point. Now as long as he is a good waiter for Li Wujiang, then Binzhou will definitely not be without him in the future.

"We are now far behind the developed cities in the south. If Binzhou wants to quickly keep up with the development of developed cities, we must not be slower, but must be faster than others. Only in this way can we seize the opportunity, change from passive to active, and turn Binzhou has developed into a key economic city in the country.”

When Ge Jiande heard about Li Wujiang's goal now, he didn't think it was a fantasy. He believed that as long as Li Wujiang was willing, it would be a matter of time. "Wujiang, your work enthusiasm is very touching. Our cadres at all levels of the municipal party committee and city government should learn from you. But after all, some of our cadres have a big gap in vision and knowledge compared to you. This requires us to increase the training of cadres, further emancipate their minds, keep pace with the times, change their ideological concepts and styles, and establish a strategic vision for long-term development. You should also attend classes for these cadres at the Cadre Academy.”

Li Wujiang finally understood what Ge Jiande wanted to say to him. He talked for a long time, mainly focusing on Wu Shichang, director of the Construction and Planning Bureau. After understanding this matter, Li Wujiang also knew what to say. After talking to Du Haichen, he also reflected on it. Wu Shichang is not him, and he cannot require all staff to have the same forward-thinking vision as him. "Secretary Ge, what you said makes sense. I have also reflected on it recently. During this period, I was too impatient at work. I was thinking about catching up on various tasks, but I neglected my working methods and was too harsh on some comrades. serious."

Chapter 543: Outdated ideas and need to step out

"Wujiang, please don't say that. We need cadres like you to do our work, who can grasp the general direction of Binzhou's development. Some cadres don't know the painstaking efforts of us as leaders. They only complain about everything and only complain when they encounter problems. They will complain. Especially if their ideas cannot keep up with the pace of development, they can only look inwards and not outwards. In the past, this would have been a typical closed-door mentality." Ge Jiande spoke tactfully now and did not mean to criticize Li Wujiang. , the two of them are on the same level, it’s impossible to say who is criticizing the other.

"Secretary Ge, I plan to ask all the bureaus and departments in our city to form an observation group to visit developed areas and gain some knowledge. Only by seeing the real situation, I believe their ideas will have profound changes."

"Okay, your suggestion is good. I can personally lead the team by then. I have been in Jining for a long time, and I don't know much about the outside world. I also need to go out and see."

"That's a good relationship. With you personally leading the team, I believe they will learn more."

Pei Ruhai didn't expect that his plan was thrown into chaos and there was no reaction at all. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to attack Li Wujiang, but the result was not at all what he expected. On the contrary, Ge Jiande soon organized a party and government observation group to conduct inspections and studies in various southern provinces, including him, Pei Ruhai. At this time, he didn't want to go at all, but planned to plan his position as deputy secretary. But the municipal party committee office made arrangements and said that this was a unified action and he had to go.

"Director Shichang, I heard that you have great opinions on Mayor Li?" After reading in Xiangzhou, Ge Jiande called Wu Shichang to his room.

"Secretary Ge, that's not the case. We have differences regarding the urban planning concept proposed by Mayor Li." Wu Shichang could complain in front of Pei Ruhai, but he did not dare in front of Ge Jiande. He knew that Pei Ruhai could not decide his fate, but Ge Jiande could decide his future.

"It doesn't matter if you have differences. You can learn more and see more, especially going to other big cities to benchmark against each other. Our ancestors all said that practice brings true knowledge. Only in practice can we tell who is right and who is wrong. Complaining blindly is not what a cadre should do. What's wrong with being wronged? The cadres of our organization are not afraid of being wronged. You visited Jiangzhou, Xiangjiang and other places this time. Look at our Binzhou and these places. What are the local gaps? These gaps cannot be caught up in five or ten years. At this time, you should understand Mayor Wujiang’s mood. "Ge Jiande is a two-pronged policy.

"Secretary Ge, you are right. Only when I came out this time did I realize the gap between our Binzhou City and other places, and I deeply realized the brilliance and foresight of Mayor Li. After I go back, I will definitely get to know Mayor Li deeply. Make a mistake, actively benchmark against advanced cities, ask Mayor Li for advice, and come up with a planning plan that is consistent with the long-term development of Binzhou City.”

"Okay, just have this attitude. Come on, you go out with me for a walk, and let's take a look at the night view of Xiangjiang."

When Li Wujiang was working in the office, he suddenly received a call from Ge Jiande, saying that there was a problem when the inspection group came back from Xiangjiang and went through customs. Pei Ruhai purchased prohibited items privately in Xiangjiang and was seized by Jiangnan City Customs.

"Lao Pei, this is too ignorant. He is going to ruin the reputation of our Binzhou City." Ge Jiande said angrily. He finally led the team out to observe, but he didn't expect that something like this would happen. If Pei Ruhai was really dealt with in Jiangnan City, then Ge Jiande would also be in trouble.

"Secretary Ge, don't be anxious. If something happens, you have to find a way to solve it." Although Li Wujiang and Pei Ruhai couldn't urinate in the same pot. But after all, this guy went out to represent Binzhou's image, and because this incident damaged Binzhou's image, it was not worth the gain.

"Wujiang, I'm not familiar with Jiangzhou. You have some connections here. Please ask someone to put in a good word. If you can, I'll deal with it leniently." Ge Jiande doesn't care about any laws and regulations at this time. .

"Don't worry, Secretary Ge. I'll call my friend in Jiangnan City now and ask him to help deal with it."

Fortunately, friends in Jiangnan City used Li Wujiang's face, and after some negotiation, the matter came to an end, and Pei Ruhai was exempted from punishment.

After Pei Ruhai came back with the inspection group, he became cautious, either not going to work or hiding at home. I don’t know if this is because I feel ashamed and ashamed. On the contrary, Wu Shichang took the initiative to find Li Wujiang.

"Mayor Li, I was wrong. It was because I was ignorant, had a narrow vision, and had little knowledge. After working in urban planning for a lifetime, I realized that there is a sky outside the sky and there are people outside the world." Wu Shichang, who was fifty years old, bowed his head in front of Li Wujiang and admitted his mistake. The scene It looks ugly.

"Director Wu, sit down. I am not criticizing anyone. Criticizing anyone is not the purpose. Our purpose is to do the job well. Let you go out and have a look. It is to learn from benchmarks, learn from advanced experience, and combine it with the actual situation in Binzhou. Plan our city with high standards. As a professional, you must know that urban planning is related to the future of a city. If there is a slight mistake, it will add pain points to our future city." Li Wujiang stopped criticizing Wu Shichang and told him the overall situation. .

Since Wu Shichang returned from the inspection, he has been able to listen to Li Wujiang's words. Only then did he realize that although Li Wujiang did not have professional planning knowledge, he knew the essence of urban planning. The key to a city's future lies in urban planning. "Mayor Li, you are right. Urban planning must consider the future development direction of the city and conform to the overall layout of the city to ensure that it can keep up with the times in fifty or one hundred years. Our Construction Bureau will definitely follow your wishes and combine Binzhou Based on the actual situation, carefully design the planning plan.”

"Okay, that's good. During the planning process, you must extensively solicit the opinions of the people and brainstorm ideas, so as to reduce unnecessary mistakes."

Wu Shichang left happily, and Li Wujiang was about to go to the capital. The gas refining integration project has entered the final public relations stage, and he, Chen Baojia and Ding Fangning will go to the capital to participate in the defense work.

"Wujiang, how are you? Are you confident?" Chen Baojia looked at Li Wujiang with a smile.

"Governor Chen, you must have confidence. You know that as long as I, Li Wujiang, want to strive for, there is nothing I can't achieve." Li Wujiang's firm tone prevented the Chen Bao family from having any doubts.

"Haha, I admire your self-confidence. You will be the speaker for this defense, and I will cooperate. The burden will be placed on you."

Chapter 544 Advanced concepts, innovation

"Governor Chen, you are the backbone of our Ji Ning. You should give the lecture and I will cooperate."

"You don't need to be modest. You know that you are running this project from beginning to end. You are the one who knows me the most. Only you can tell the essence and essence to these experts." In fact, in Chen Baojia's heart, such a big deal At the current stage of the project, it no longer cares which province or city has the advantage. But care about the direction of the leaders above. To put it bluntly, a single word from the leadership can determine the final construction location of the project.

"Governor Chen, since you say so, then I will obey your arrangements, but you must be there to embolden me." Li Wujiang said with a smile.

The review team is composed of leaders from various departments and experts from various universities. Some of them are familiar to Li Wujiang, and some of them Li Wujiang has also done the work through relationships. But he also knows that this is the job on the surface.

"Mayor Li, I just heard you say a lot about the unique advantages of Binzhou's integrated gas refining project compared with other cities." asked a deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission.

“I think Binzhou has three major advantages. First, resource advantages. Northeast China has the richest oil resources in the country, which provides us with vast resources for the development of integrated gas refining projects. This is the so-called development backed by resources. Second, market advantages. Binzhou is backed by the Northeast region and close to Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, and has vast market resources, which provides sufficient motivation for our project construction. Third, environmental advantages. What are environmental advantages? Binzhou will be committed to creating them. The country's best service city aims to serve enterprises and create waiter-style services to ensure that projects start, build and go into production as soon as possible," Li Wujiang answered clearly.

"Mayor Li, I just heard you mention paying attention to ecological and environmental protection. What do you think about this matter?"

"With the continuous improvement of the living standards of our people, people's awareness of ecological and environmental protection is constantly strengthened. The most critical thing about the gas refining integration project is technology, not technology. I think the most critical thing is environmental protection. The gas refining integration project involves pollution such as gas, sewage, and raw materials. These pollutions are related to the daily life of local people. If we don't pay attention to it now, there will be big troubles in the future. Our Binzhou City will track the project location layout, installation of environmental protection measures, and construction of sewage equipment in all aspects to ensure that the project really seeks development for the local area and benefits for the people."

"Oh, if Mayor Li means, this project will invest heavily in environmental protection. This is not putting the cart before the horse."

"Dear leaders, I want to ask what is the basis, development or economic benefits. I think our fundamental is everything for the people. Anything that is not conducive to the interests of the people, we Binzhou will resolutely not support; anything that harms the people's physical and mental health, we Binzhou will not welcome. Our Binzhou's development will be people-oriented, so that the people can share the fruits of development." Li Wujiang's words caused a lot of fluctuations in the venue. Chen Baojia, who was next to him, also shook his head again and again. This guy was too bold. He dared to speak out at this time. Now the project has not been obtained, but it has been put under a tight control. How can the superiors feel at ease to hand over such a large project to Binzhou?

"Mayor Li, according to what you said, projects that do not meet Binzhou's environmental protection requirements will definitely not be welcomed in Binzhou?"

"We in Binzhou welcome enterprises that meet national environmental protection standards to invest and start businesses in Binzhou. This is also a responsibility to enterprises, the country, and the people." Li Wujiang did not answer directly, but changed his statement.
