The pursuit of a position in officialdom

"It seems that the Secretary General also knows about this matter. Director Han's hope is not excessive. Is there something wrong with his son?" Li Wujiang asked.

"Director Han's son Han Qiaoyi is now the deputy county magistrate of Pucheng County. This county magistrate Han has a stubborn temper and does not get along well with his colleagues. If it were not for the relationship between Mr. Han, he would probably not be able to continue as the deputy county magistrate. Mr. Han has talked to Mayor Fan several times about his matter, but this guy said that he would never use the back door, so his matter has been dragged on like this."

"Hey, it turns out that this is such a person, but it can also be proved from the side that Han Qiaoyi is a decent person. You arrange for someone to send me a copy of his information. Director Han has explained that whether this matter can be done or not, it will eventually be an explanation to the old comrades."

"Secretary Li got along well with this group of old cadres, and finally promised to help Mr. Han solve his son's problem."

"He can do it if he wants to. After all, he is the top leader of Guangyuan City. If he just sits there, it won't be a big deal. Let him deal with Han Guoxin's matter. By the way, what happened to you last night?" Fan Datong asked.

"Who else could it be? It's Lu Zhengren from Xincheng District. He went to block Secretary Li again. I tried to test him this morning and found that he didn't take this matter seriously." Hu Shengtang said.

"Don't take this matter lightly. This Lu Zhengren is a rat shit. He doesn't do any real work and only knows how to do these crooked things." Fan Datong said angrily.

"Mayor Fan, if it doesn't work, just remove him from his post and let him jump around there."

"I have thought about this, but this Lu Zhengren is talented and has a certain reputation in society. If we don't have a reason to remove him at this time, the social response will be bad. In addition, once this guy is idle, he will cause trouble everywhere." Fan Datong also feels a headache for this Lu Zhengren.

"This guy has been biting that there is something fishy about the compensation for the demolition of shantytowns in Xincheng District, which is very unfavorable to Chenglin's Wanjia Real Estate Company." Hu Shengtang knew that the root of this matter was still Fan Chenglin's Wanjia Real Estate Company. At the beginning, Wanjia Real Estate took a fancy to a piece of land in Xincheng District, and Lu Zhengren happened to live here. Lu Zhengren was not satisfied with the compensation standard of Wanjia Real Estate Company, so he did not agree to the demolition. In the end, he was forced to demolish by Fan Chenglin, and a conflict arose from then on.

"I will tell Chenglin about this matter. If you run a company, you should make money in harmony. It is not a big deal to spend more money as long as you can settle the matter. Old Hu, your task is to take good care of our Secretary Li and don't let anything happen to him."

Li Wujiang finally welcomed the first guest in his office, Liu Minghao, the Standing Committee Deputy Mayor.

Liu Minghao and Hua Chunlin are classmates. Liu Minghao has not been successful in Guangyuan for so many years. He was only 46 or 47 years old before he became the deputy mayor, while Hua Chunlin, who is about the same age as him, will soon become the secretary of the municipal party committee. Although the secretary of the municipal party committee and the deputy mayor are a full-time department-level cadre and a deputy department-level cadre respectively, there is only one level difference in level, but there is a big difference between them. Without a good opportunity, Liu Minghao will never be able to reach that position in his life. Now the opportunity is in front of him, and it depends on how he chooses.

Hua Chunlin called Liu Minghao specifically, told him about Li Wujiang's situation, and told him that Li Wujiang had a promising future. If Liu Minghao took the initiative to get close to Li Wujiang at this time, it would only benefit Liu Minghao's future, not harm. Liu Minghao was actually hesitant. He had been in Guangyuan for five or six years and knew how deep the water in Guangyuan was. He was a little worried that Li Wujiang could not beat Fan Datong at all, so he hesitated during the phone call with Hua Chunlin. Hua Chunlin changed Liu Minghao's mind with just one sentence. Li Wujiang was so young that he could be sent to Donghai by Beijing, which showed that the top leaders had full trust in Li Wujiang, and the top leaders would not let Li Wujiang get into trouble in Guangyuan. Since Li Wujiang was sent to Guangyuan, it meant that the top leaders had made up their minds about Guangyuan.

After hearing this, Liu Minghao knew what choice he should make. If he didn't fight now, when would he wait?

"Mayor Liu is here, come and sit down." Li Wujiang said enthusiastically.

"Secretary Li, you don't have to be so polite. I came here today to report my work to you."

"There's no rush to report on work, let's drink some good Longjing first. Where is Mayor Minghao from?"

"Mayor Li, my hometown is Laizhou, but I've been working in Guangyuan for five or six years."

"Then Mayor Minghao is familiar with the situation in Guangyuan. I think Guangyuan's economic development has been good in recent years."

"Yes, Guangyuan's economy is pretty good in Donghai. It's mainly because Governor Ren laid a good foundation for Guangyuan when he worked there. When Governor Ren was in Guangyuan, he vigorously promoted the development of township enterprises and built a national small commodity wholesale center market, which led to the rapid development of Guangyuan's economy over the years. Later, these leaders were able to continue Governor Ren's development plan, which led to Guangyuan's rapid development over the years."

"Oh, it seems that Guangyuan's situation is very good. Then it will be easier for me to go to Guangyuan." Li Wujiang said.

"Secretary Li, you can't say that. Although Guangyuan City has experienced rapid development, it has also accumulated many problems over the years. In particular, the development of township enterprises has reached a bottleneck, lacking development momentum and support points. In addition, Guangyuan City has been promoting the construction of a small commodity city and has carried out large-scale demolition and construction over the years, and many conflicts have accumulated at the grassroots level." Since Liu Minghao planned to show his goodwill to Li Wujiang, he decided to speak in a thick way, so that he could gain Li Wujiang's trust.

Chapter 606 Research trip, watching and giving advice

"It seems that Secretary Minghao is a sober person. The most taboo in economic work is blind development. Only seeing the benefits of development, not seeing the problems in the development process, or deliberately turning a blind eye, will eventually lead to insufficient development momentum, and even deviations in the development process, which will eventually affect the overall development situation." Li Wujiang has studied the development history of Guangyuan in his spare time these days. Guangyuan City has many deep-seated problems, but Guangyuan has been working hard in economic development for so many years, firmly determined to develop the economy, and insisted on supporting the development of township enterprises and the construction of small commodity wholesale markets, which covered up Guangyuan's internal problems. However, in recent years, as township enterprises have encountered difficulties in development, especially in the process of transformation and upgrading, they have not been able to keep up with the pace, and the problems have gradually been exposed, which has led to the current unrest in Guangyuan.

"Yes, no wonder Chunlin said that Secretary Li understands the economy. Listening to Secretary Li's words really opened my eyes." Liu Minghao threw Hua Chunlin out at the right time, with the purpose of getting closer to Li Wujiang.

"Chunlin will be back from Beijing soon. I'll call him and we'll get together."

"Okay, I'll follow Secretary Li's arrangements."

"Mayor Minghao, it's not easy for Guangyuan City to develop to the present. Whether Guangyuan's future will develop in a positive or negative direction, our group of cadres will play a key role. Secretary Minghao, you are in charge of economic work. You can be more open-minded, bolder, and take further steps in the reform of township enterprises. There are some problems that have no reference objects in China. We can go out and learn from Europe and the United States. As long as it is conducive to economic development, we will firmly support it. Of course, in the process of development, we must adhere to people's livelihood and insist that the purpose of development is for the people. We cannot exacerbate the contradictions with the grassroots people for the sake of development, otherwise development will lose its purpose."

When Liu Minghao came out of Li Wujiang's office, his steps became more determined, his face was full of spring, and he found the confidence he should have.

The first place where Li Wujiang conducted research and inspection was the Small Commodity Development Service Center, which is a unique institution in Guangyuan. Guangyuan's small commodity wholesale industry is prosperous. In order to support the development of the small commodity industry, such a service department was specially established.

"Secretary Li, we now have more than 50 small commodity wholesale markets of various types in Guangyuan, with nearly 10,000 customers in the market. The main task of our service center is to provide good customer service in the market, help them handle relevant procedures, and provide good logistics service support." Qin Gang, director of the service center, said.

"Director Qin, you've done a good job. Small commodity wholesale is our Guangyuan's characteristic industry, and it will also be our pillar industry in the future. It is crucial to the development of our Guangyuan City. We must continue the previous policies to continue to support the development of the small commodity wholesale industry. You must base yourself on the present, look to the future, benchmark international advanced markets, establish an international small commodity wholesale market, continuously expand investment promotion, innovate service concepts, establish a one-stop service center, change service attitudes, and do your service work to the extreme."

Hu Shengtang accompanied Li Wujiang on the inspection. Through Li Wujiang's speech, Hu Shengtang realized that Li Wujiang was indeed a talent who could grasp the key to development.

"Secretary Li, don't worry. Mayor Fan has clear instructions and plans for the construction of small commodity wholesale markets. We must do a good job in related work in accordance with the requirements of the municipal government." Qin Gang thought that what he said was correct, but this statement sounded problematic to outsiders. He said he would listen to the mayor in front of the secretary. This guy is either a tiger or he did it on purpose. Fortunately, Li Wujiang didn't care about it.

When Li Wujiang was investigating in Xincheng District, Wei Jianshe, the secretary of the Xincheng District Committee, did not accompany him. The district head Ma Chaozhong explained that Wei Jianshe went to the province to participate in activities.

Li Wujiang did not just go to the government office and hold a symposium as in previous investigations. This time he changed his previous style and went directly to the people. In Xincheng, he chose to go to the construction site of the small commodity wholesale market.

"Secretary Li, our new city district mainly plans to build a small commodity wholesale mall. Currently, a total of 100 such wholesale centers have been planned in the new city district, and more than 20 have been built. We plan to complete the remaining ones in the next five years."

"Building a city with industry is a good approach. You should make a reasonable layout during the construction process, achieve high standards and high starting points, benchmark with foreign countries, and ensure that you will not fall behind in 20 or 30 years. District Chief Ma, you plan to build such a mall. Will there be any problems in the demolition process?"

"Of course there will be problems, but our staff will patiently explain and tell everyone that the government is doing this for everyone and for the future of Guangyuan. If the work of the masses cannot be done once, we will do it twice. If it cannot be done twice, we will do it three times until it is done."

When Ma Chaozhong was talking, a group of ordinary people suddenly rushed over and said they wanted to see the new secretary. At this time, Ma Chaozhong's face changed instantly. He signaled the staff around him to coax the petitioning masses away.

"Secretary Li, these people are just a bunch of troublemakers. They are capable of doing anything. I will take you away from here first." Ma Chaozhong wiped the sweat from his forehead anxiously and cast his eyes towards Hu Shengtang.

"Secretary Li, let's follow District Chief Ma to the district government first just in case." Hu Shengtang also said.

However, the people were making a lot of noise and shouting loudly, which made Li Wujiang feel very uncomfortable. "Secretary-General, District Chief Ma, I also want to leave, but how can I leave at this time? If I leave at this time, tomorrow all the people in the city will scold me, scold the Guangyuan Municipal Party Committee and Government, and scold us for not facing the masses directly. Call us a coward? What’s so scary about the common people? Let’s just meet them, listen to them, and solve whatever problems they have.”

Hu Shengtang and Ma Chaozhong looked at each other after hearing this, but at this time some people broke through the protection of the staff and walked in front of Li Wujiang. At this moment, they couldn't leave even if they wanted to.

"Secretary Li, you have to make the decision for us. They demolished the property without caring about the life and death of our people. They cut off power and water, and forced demolition and sale."

I saw that the people who came were all talking about their own things. At this time, Li Wujiang waved his hand and everyone became quiet.

"Dear fellow villagers, my name is Li Wujiang. Today I went to our new urban area for research and inspection. The purpose is to see how everyone is living. Since everyone is here, let's find a place to sit down and have a symposium. Ma District "Chief, is there a place in your new city where we can sit and chat?" Li Wujiang wanted to go to the conference room because he didn't want many people to see how bad the impact would be.

Chapter 607 Land acquisition and demolition crisis, unwilling to be a deserter

"Secretary Li, if there is a place, I will make arrangements now." Although Ma Chaozhong was unwilling, he had to make arrangements at this time.

On the way to the conference room, Hu Shengtang said, "Secretary Li, I think you should leave first. I will go talk to these people. After talking, I will report to you. Whether there are some unfaithful elements among these people, we will also You don’t know how this could endanger your life.”

"Secretary-General, what you said is a bit exaggerated. Are you so unsure of the security environment in Guangyuan City? This is what ordinary people in Guangyuan City have to fear. Besides, you still have your protection." Li Wujiang said with a smile. .

Hu Shengtang saw that Li Wujiang was so calm and composed in the face of this situation, and he felt more and more that this young man was not simple. If he had been replaced by another leader, he would have left long ago. Another point is that Hu Shengtang is worried that these people are talking nonsense and saying something that should not be said. "Secretary Li, those of us who are subordinates are doing this for safety reasons, just in case."

"Okay, let's not talk about this matter. If I leave today, I will be a deserter. Besides, I still have some experience in resolving real estate development disputes. When I was in office in Binzhou, I encountered land acquisition and demolition. Contradiction, tens of thousands of people surrounded the municipal party committee and government compound, and I did not retire at that time. "

After Li Wujiang's words reached this point, Hu Shengtang had nothing more to persuade him and felt a lot of worries in his heart. He worried it would get off to a bad start.

The people sat down in the conference room and saw Li Wujiang sitting across from them. They couldn't believe their eyes. They didn't expect the new secretary to be so young. He asked, "Are you really Governor Li and Secretary Li sent by the capital?"

Li Wujiang smiled and said, "If it's true, I am Li Wujiang. Our new municipal party secretary of Guangyuan City will live in the same city with you for a while. In the future, I will treat you as a fellow citizen in my work and life." Please help me more and give me more advice on what I don’t do well.”

As soon as Li Wujiang said these words, he quickly became closer to the masses. Everyone felt that Li Wujiang was an amiable and approachable leader.

"Secretary Li, we heard that when you were working in Binzhou, you were able to solve the contradiction between real estate development and people's livelihood very well." A member of the public asked boldly.

"First of all, I want to explain something to this fellow, that is, the relationship between real estate development and people's livelihood is not a contradiction. On the contrary, if done well, it is beneficial to both parties. The purpose of land acquisition, demolition, real estate development and construction is For the long-term planning and development of a city, if a city wants to become an international metropolis, necessary construction is necessary. With the development of the economy and the progress of society, everyone will increasingly feel that urban construction will speed up. To describe it, when you go out and come back, you will find that our city has undergone earth-shaking changes. It is not that Guangyuan is changing, but all parts of the country are changing. If you don't change, you will fall behind, and this society will also. Promote us to change. Therefore, urban construction and real estate development are major trends. Of course, the ultimate goal of our construction is to let everyone live a happy life and enable everyone to live in a convenient and comfortable living environment. If development and construction cannot do this, the ultimate meaning of construction will be lost. Everyone's interests will be guaranteed and everyone will enjoy the fruits of development. I believe that all the folks will support the development of this city. After all, the development needs of Guangyuan City. Rely on the joint efforts of all Guangyuan people.”

Li Wujiang won rounds of applause after he finished speaking. Hu Shengtang felt that Li Wujiang had great speaking skills. He could integrate well with everyone whether communicating with veteran cadres or the masses. This shows that Li Wujiang is seductive and contagious. The ability is still very strong.

"Secretary Li, what you just said has touched the hearts of our people. We are not going against the government, we just want to safeguard the interests we deserve. This time the land acquisition and demolition of the new city and the construction of the small commodity wholesale market are all important to us. I also support it, but the compensation standard of the development company is too low, and the resettlement area has not been built. Now it is forced to be demolished. How will we, the common people, live in the future? "

"I listened to what the elder sister just said. Everyone still supports Guangyuan's construction, but during the development and construction process, the coordination between the two parties was not in place. In Binzhou, I asked the local department to introduce a method, specifically to establish a land acquisition and demolition system. Consultation mechanism, land acquisition and demolition compensation mechanism, and land acquisition and demolition publicity mechanism. If there are such three mechanisms, the land acquisition and demolition work will be open, fair, just, and transparent. Everyone will have a clear understanding of the standard, area, and amount of their own demolition compensation. I believe everyone should have no doubts.”

"Secretary Li, what you said is great. We need such a system. If it is true as you said, we will definitely cooperate with the government. Secretary Li, we hope that such a system will be implemented as soon as possible so that our people can enjoy the benefits we deserve." Secretary Li, I wonder when this system will be implemented? "

"District Chief Ma, everyone is very concerned about this matter. I think establishing these three systems will also be conducive to the development of work in the new city. Your new city should have no problem doing this work."

Of course Ma Chaozhong wanted to say there was a problem, but Li Wujiang was not asking at all, but ordering. If he refutes Li Wujiang in front of the people at this time, it will not only leave a bad impression on Li Wujiang, but also be reviled by the people present. At this time, Ma Chaozhong could only step forward and replied, "Secretary Li is right. We have not done a good job in this regard. We will immediately formulate relevant regulations and systems based on other cities to ensure that everyone is clear about the compensation standards for land acquisition and demolition."

"Okay, you see, our new city government is still responsible. We have to give the government some time. In the process of development, we may encounter various new problems, which is also a test for our government staff. , we can be regarded as learning and serving everyone, and making continuous progress through experience and lessons. Therefore, I hope that everyone will give the Xincheng District Government a period of time during which the Xincheng District Government will strengthen communication with the masses during the land acquisition and demolition process. "We must seek more opinions from the masses when formulating good policies to ensure that they are grounded and implemented. At the same time, during the current land acquisition and demolition process, we must ensure that the people have normal access to electricity, gas, and water."

Chapter 608: Making insinuations and glancing at the water

Such a petition incident was easily resolved by Li Wujiang, but he also left homework for the Xincheng District Government. Although Li Wujiang's meaning is not clear, he revealed that before the compensation mechanism for land acquisition and demolition is established, we should not be busy with demolition, which has caused some people's loss of interests.

"Chaozhong, how can you agree to his statement? He doesn't know the situation in the new city, and you still don't know? Can the development of the new city be stopped? Can the development of the new city wait?" Wei Jianshe returned from the provincial capital in the evening , heard about this and became furious.

Ma Chaozhong was also very unhappy. He had just been angry with Li Wujiang during the day, and now he was angry with Wei Jianshe. To be honest, he didn't like Wei Jianshe very much. Wei Jianshe was a rough guy with a bad temper and a lot of swear words. Especially she showed no respect for him as the district chief, scolding and reprimanding him at every turn. If it weren't for the relationship between Wei Jianshe and Mayor Fan, he would have been angry and dare not speak out, and he would have had a falling out. "Secretary Wei, the situation at that time was quite complicated. If I were to challenge Secretary Li face to face, I'm worried that it would not be conducive to the construction of the new city."

"Are you worried about this? He is just a young boy who wants to point fingers when he first arrives in Guangyuan. He doesn't even know whether he understands economics. And you, you shouldn't take him to the demolition site at all. You You are asking for trouble." Wei Jianshe taught Ma Chaozhong like a grandson.

At this time, Ma Chaozhong felt angry and wanted to lose his temper, but he still endured it. "Secretary Wei, what you are criticizing is, what should we do next? Should we continue with the demolition, or should we stop and wait."

"Stop and wait. Do you know what the impact will be and what losses will be caused if the project is stopped? There is no need to listen to him. You tell the development work to continue and speed up the pace."

"Secretary Wei, do you need to report this matter to Mayor Fan?" Ma Chaozhong reminded patiently. He didn't want to offend both parties in the end and he couldn't get down the stairs.

"I will report this matter to Mayor Fan. I believe Mayor Fan will support my opinion."

Li Wujiang didn't know that his speech would trigger many chain reactions. This is not something Li Wujiang needs to consider. He continues his research and inspection trip.

"Secretary Li, the Guangyuan Public Security Bureau has adopted Spring Thunder Operation, Summer Attack, citywide patrols and other activities in recent years to ensure the overall stability of public security in Guangyuan. The criminal case detection rate has always been among the best in the province, and the happiness of the people has continued to increase. " said Kang Mingyi, deputy mayor of Guangyuan City and director of the Public Security Bureau.

"Mayor Kang, the stability of a place depends on our public security team. I was very pleased when I heard your report just now. It shows that our Guangyuan public security team is a good team that can fight. We will build a team with good style in the future. , The public security team with strict discipline, special ability to endure hardship, and special ability to fight is very important.”

"Secretary Li, we will seriously comprehend and study according to the requirements, and actively build the public security team you mentioned."

"The public security team has always been fighting at the forefront, always dealing with grassroots people and criminals, and the work is the hardest. The municipal party committee and government must first ensure the funding of comrades, especially various equipment and supplies, and must not let our comrades shed blood and tears. Mayor Kang, if there is anything needed in the public security, you should report to the municipal party committee and government as soon as possible."

Kang Mingyi listened to Li Wujiang's words and found that this young secretary was still an expert, familiar with the work of the public security, and his words were also very professional. "Thank you Secretary Li for your support. With the support of the municipal party committee and government, our public security system will definitely work hard to build a safe Guangyuan."

"By the way, Mayor Kang, how is Secretary Tang's case going?"

Kang Mingyi did not expect Li Wujiang to change the topic so quickly, and suddenly turned to Secretary Tang's case. The Secretary Tang mentioned by Li Wujiang is Tang Enhe, the former secretary of Guangyuan, who was shot and killed by criminals. This case has now become a taboo topic in the officialdom of Guangyuan City, and no one dares to discuss it. Now that Li Wujiang has brought it up, Kang Mingyi doesn't know where to start.

Li Wujiang also noticed Kang Mingyi's hesitation. He did it on purpose. He wanted to see the attitude of the Public Security Bureau towards Tang En and the case. The Public Security Bureau is a very critical team. If the gun is not in their own hands, neither the crackdown nor the sweep of gangs can be carried out. "Mayor Kang, it seems that this question is not easy to answer. If it involves confidentiality, you and I will not ask anything."

"Secretary Li, there is nothing confidential about Secretary Tang's case, but this case has been closed for a long time. You suddenly asked this question, and I was a little unresponsive. Director Shang, this case was caught by you, please report the relevant situation to Secretary Li." Kang Mingyi did not answer this matter, but handed the question to Deputy Director Shang Yong, who is in charge of criminal investigation.

"Secretary Li, the case of Secretary Tang being shot was handled jointly by Guangyuan City and the provincial department. To be honest, there is nothing much to do with this case. When we were chasing the suspect who shot Secretary Tang, this guy refused to be arrested with a gun and was shot dead on the spot by our staff. Afterwards, we compared the gun held by the suspect and determined that the gun held by the suspect was exactly the same as the bullet that shot Secretary Tang." Shang Yong said.
