life in the sky

"I won't go to see my aunt this time, and I have to ask for her understanding. Maybe we will meet in the capital in a few years."

Cao Jinian's heart moved, and he heard that there was something in Mu Guoxing's words.In another three years, Cao Ji Nian will be on the line. Whether he should go to the National People's Congress or completely withdraw, he has never had an accurate idea.Now that he heard Mu Guoxing's words, Cao Jinian began to murmur in his heart again. Could it be that this underground son-in-law wants to use his spare heat?

Cao Jinian is now the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. If he is promoted to another level, no matter whether he goes to the National People's Congress or the CPPCC, he will be a well-known deputy at the national level.Going to the capital to work for a few years, and then retiring from the position of deputy state-level for the elderly, this is something that many officials in the borderlands dream of. How can such a good thing happen to me?

Text 890 Chapter [-] Prestige is very high

A small convoy was speeding along the expressway from Jinshan to Weizhong. It was said to be a small convoy, but it was only relatively speaking. In a van with ten seats in the middle was Mu Guoxing, Premier of the State Council and Deputy Director of the General Office of the Central Committee. Jin Shunxi, Director of the Mu Office Ying Yiwei, and the other two are Governor Han Nairan of Ningbei Province and Executive Vice Governor Lu Jingming.

Since leaving Ningbei, Mu Guoxing has also returned several times.The first time was when Lei Lei was ill, Mu Guoxing accompanied her back to take a look, but that time he came back in a private capacity and did not alarm anyone.If Mu Guoxing was only a local official at that time and had no qualifications, then when he was the deputy prime minister, he came back to investigate once, and Mu Guoxing also did not stay in Weizhong City.To be precise, this is the first time that Mu Guoxing has officially returned after leaving Weizhong, and this time his identity and status are completely different from before.

When the prime minister travels, it is a shock. Although it has been compressed several times, this so-called small convoy consists of six cars.According to the regulations of the central government, state-level leaders travel as first-level security guards, not to mention others, there are not a small number of guards, secretaries, health doctors, and reporters from news media such as TV stations.

After the convoy drove out of Jinshan City, Mu Guoxing didn't speak any more, and raised the curtains to look at everything he was once very familiar with.Mu Guoxing's move made the provincial governor Han Nairan, who accompanied him to inspect, a little restless. You must know that it is not necessarily a good thing that the leader does not speak. It may be that the leader has an opinion on your work.

Seeing Han Nairan looking at him for help, Ying Yiwei smiled and shook his head, meaning that the chief has not been back for many years, he has feelings for this place, so don't bother him at this time.

"Stop!" Mu Guoxing ordered, and the convoy stopped slowly.

After jumping out of the car, Mu Guoxing walked to the field beside the road and knelt down to check the growth of the wheat.Looking at the surrounding environment, Mu Guoxing smiled. When he was the secretary of the Baohe County Party Committee, he once again went to the province to alms for the school construction of Baohe County. On the way back, he once chatted with an old farmer here. And that year was also the first time the local people planted wheat after Mu Guoxing cut off the underground river to draw out the groundwater.

"The moisture content is maintained well, and it seems that next year will be another bumper harvest year."

The prime minister finally spoke, and Han Nairan saw the needles and said: "Prime Minister, since you drew groundwater in Baohe County, wheat has become the main food crop in Weizhong City. In recent years, under the guidance of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, wheat has been You planted rice and achieved good harvests. The agricultural production in Weizhong City has also been greatly improved, and the people are still telling you about your deeds."

"Our people's ideological awareness is high and they are reasonable. As long as we can do something for them wholeheartedly, they will not forget us."

The camera in the reporter's hand faithfully recorded this scene. A large group of officials around Mu Guoxing heard the prime minister's words and nodded in agreement. They knew that the prime minister was a person who always cared about the people.

The convoy drove into the urban area of ​​Weizhong, which has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to before. The wide streets are unusually clean, and there are rows of high-rise buildings on both sides of the street. Although it is the middle of winter, it can also be seen from the pedestrians on the street. The smile on the face is so happy and content.

Among the welcome crowd of the Weizhong Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, Mu Guoxing met an acquaintance, Wu Yan, who was the head of Shanqian Township in Baohe County, and later transferred to the director of the County Party Committee Office.After so many years, Wu Yan has changed a lot. After Han Nairan's introduction, Mu Guoxing knew that Wu Yan is now the mayor of Weizhong City.

"Comrade Wu Yan, let's meet again. After so many years, I didn't expect to see you here."

"Hi, Prime Minister, we are all missing you too. I have been to the capital for business trips a few times. I wanted to visit you very much, but considering your busy work, I finally didn't bother you."

When Wu Yan said the last sentence, her voice was trembling a little, which really represented her mood at the moment.If it weren't for Mu Guoxing's discerning eye, Wu Yan would not have been transferred from such a remote village to the county party committee as the office director, and maybe he would be a deputy department-level cadre when he was old.

Standing next to Wu Yan, Sun Shangao, Secretary of the Weizhong Municipal Party Committee, was transferred two years ago. Although he had also heard that Wu Yan was an old subordinate of the Prime Minister, he did not expect that the relationship between the two people was still very good.Looking at Mu Guoxing and then at Wu Yan, Sun Shangao seemed to want to see something from the faces of these two people.

Sun Shangao regretted it now, he shouldn't have suppressed Wu Yan so hard a while ago, once she was allowed to sue the Prime Minister, it would be terrible.Don't think that a municipal party secretary is a person who shows his might in his own territory, but for the prime minister, wanting to win him is just a matter of winking and saying. As long as he moves his mouth, he will be gone as the municipal party secretary. He wouldn't even give him a chance to drink tea in an idle yamen.

Thinking of this, Sun Shangao's mind also became active, and he must prevent Wu Yan from having the opportunity to report to the Prime Minister alone. In front of so many people, Wu Yan must not talk nonsense.

He looked up at Han Nairan, the high-ranking provincial governor behaved well in front of the prime minister, he laughed when the prime minister laughed, and when the prime minister was serious, he was more serious than anyone else, just like a follower.

According to the prior arrangement, the Prime Minister wanted to visit the largest farmer's market in Weizhong City. This is what the head of the central government must do when he visits the local area. What he wants is the reputation of caring about the lives of the masses. Sun Shangao originally wanted to go with him. But Han Nairan stopped him.

"Comrade Shan Gao, the Prime Minister instructed that he should be accompanied by comrades from government departments this time."

Seeing Wu Yan also got into the car with the Prime Minister, Sun Shangao was very jealous in his heart, and secretly cursed: "Damn, what is this? If I knew it was like this, I shouldn't have been active as the secretary of the municipal party committee in the first place." , It would be great to be the mayor of Weixi City. The secretary of the municipal party committee is the top leader, but in the eyes of the prime minister, this may not be the case. The reform of the political system has increased the power of the government. It sounds good to say that it has strengthened the leadership of the party. , if you really don’t care about anything, just exercising the right of supervision is useless!"

The farmer's market in Weizhong City is very well constructed. The upper and lower floors cover tens of thousands of square meters. All kinds of service facilities are readily available, and the products are also dazzling.Although the weather was cold, the farmer's market was full of people and a lively scene.

When Mu Guoxing and his party walked into the farmer's market, there was a burst of warm applause immediately, and both sellers and shoppers automatically lined up in two rows.

"Hello Prime Minister!"

"Hello everyone!"

A middle-aged woman squeezed desperately to the front and shouted loudly: "Secretary Fuxing! We haven't seen you for many years. Can you go to our Shanqian Township this time and taste the food we planted with our own hands?" of rice."

Mu Guoxing smiled. He knew that the person who called him Secretary Fuxing must be a citizen of Baohe County. He hadn't heard this name for so many years, but it still sounds very kind.

"Thank you, Shanqian Township has also planted rice? This is a good thing. If I have time in the future, I will definitely visit the villagers when I have time."

The middle-aged woman was slightly disappointed, looked at Wu Yan who was following behind Mu Guoxing, and said, "Major Wu, Secretary Fuxing doesn't have time, you must come back and have a look, everyone misses you."

When he walked to a grain and oil stall, the bags in front of him were full of white rice. Mu Guoxing grabbed a handful and looked carefully. There was no difference between the rice in Baohe County and the imported rice.

Wu Yan, who was following behind, took a step forward and introduced to Mu Guoxing: "Prime Minister, this is the rice produced in our Baohe County. Because of the implementation of the organic industry, supermarkets in major cities across the country rushed to order."

"Well, the rice produced in Baohe County can be sold to all parts of the country, which shows that your work is still very effective." Speaking of this, Mu Guoxing smiled slightly: "After so many years, the people in Shanqian Township still remember you, see Come on, your prestige in their minds is quite high."

Text 890 Chapter [-] Returning to Baohe

Today's Xiaonian, friends, don't forget to eat dumplings!

It is the dream of any official to be praised by the Prime Minister, not to mention that this praise is in front of a large number of senior officials such as Governor Han Nairan and Executive Vice Governor Lu Jingming.Wu Yan's lips trembled with excitement, and she didn't know what to say. She felt that the suppression and hardship she had suffered in the past two years were worth it, and her eyes couldn't help but moisten.

Mu Guoxing looked at Wu Yan, and then at Han Nairan. He knew that Wu Yan's life was not easy now, and he must have encountered difficulties at work.Cao Jinian said in his report that although the work of system reform in Ningbei Province is carried out in accordance with the unified deployment of the central government, there are still many problems in the reform at the county level. The leader of the party committee lacks understanding of this aspect and still clings to power. Presumably Wu Yan encountered this problem as well.

After inspecting the Weizhong Agricultural Research Institute and the High-Tech Industrial Park, it was time for lunch. There were not many people accompanying the simple four dishes and one soup on the table. It seems that Wu Yan has a good grasp of this aspect of.

"Comrade Nairan, we are short on time. We won't rest after lunch and go directly to Baohe. I think we should ask Comrade Wu Yan to accompany us down and act as our guide."

Han Nairan judged from Wu Yan's expression just now, and what he learned in ordinary times, that the cooperation between Wu Yan and Sun Shangao was not very good, and the relationship between the two people might still be tense. Even the governor himself could see it, and he would definitely not hide it. But the prime minister's eyes.Mu Guoxing asked Wu Yan to accompany her, in fact, to give her a chance to report.As long as one finds out the problems in the reform of the political system in Weizhong City and finds out what Sun Shangao has done, he can use the example of Weizhong City to open a breakthrough and completely clean up the first-level political system of Ningbei Province. obstacles in the way of reform.

Han Nairan is very clear about Mu Guoxing's working methods. The Prime Minister is a master who is good at finding problems in some small things, and grasping the points to carry out the work.Every time he inspects the lower levels, he will find out the problems existing in the work of the local party committee and the government. It is impossible for the lower officials to fool him. That is why the lower officials respect and fear the Prime Minister. .

To be honest, Han Nairan also couldn't understand Sun Shangao's behavior. This kid thought that everything would be fine if he hugged Dong Hao's thigh, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, and he didn't take Han Nairan, the governor, seriously.Not only that, but Sun Shangao also took advantage of Dong Hao's power in charge of the reform of the municipal political system to unite a large number of municipal party committee secretaries, obediently obeying the instructions of the central government, and clinging to the power in his hands. A group of people in the province had some opinions.

As long as Wu Yan mentions these matters a little in the report, the prime minister will immediately order Sun Shangao to be taken down with his character of jealousy, and Dong Hao behind him will also be unlucky.In this way, the reform of the political system at the provincial and municipal level in northern Ningbei will be carried out smoothly. Under such circumstances, no official will dare to stand up to it anymore.Grabbing more power is what everyone thinks about, but if you want to compare it with the hat on your head, the latter is more important. How can you get power without officials?

Hearing the news that Wu Yan accompanied the Prime Minister to Baohe for an inspection, Sun Shangao was taken aback. He thought that the Prime Minister would leave soon after lunch in Weizhong. As long as Wu Yan was not given a chance to talk nonsense during this period, everything would be fine But I didn't expect that the Prime Minister would ask Wu Yan to accompany him to Baohe to inspect by name, which is not good.

But Sun Shangao has nothing to do at this time. Who would dare to stop the Prime Minister calling for Wu Yan to go?Not to mention Sun Shangao, the secretary of the municipal party committee, even Dong Hao, his backstage deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, would never dare.It turns out that when the head of the central government comes down, the secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor must accompany him all the way. If that is the case, there is still room for saving this matter, but now the prime minister refuses to let him accompany him, and Sun Shangao dare not refuse to listen, so he can only stay in Weizhong up.

Sun Shangao was like an ant on a hot pot, wandering around the office. After more than ten minutes, he finally got him to come up with a good solution. relax.

After tens of kilometers away, the convoy soon entered Baohe County, and there was a line of big characters above the entrance of the expressway: People of Baohe City welcome you.What surprised Mu Guoxing was that there were no toll collectors at the intersection, and all vehicles were unimpeded.

"Prime Minister, since last year we have canceled the toll booth on this expressway, but other service facilities are still retained"

Hearing Wu Yan's report, Mu Guoxing said with a smile: "This expressway was jointly built by Shuanglong Group and Baohe County Government. After the highway was opened to traffic, it not only facilitated passing vehicles, but also brought economic benefits to Baohe County. It’s a huge benefit, now that the toll booths are cancelled, you won’t have this income, so are you willing?”

"If you are willing, you will gain if you are willing. On the surface, after the abolition of toll stations, Baohe City will lose tens of millions of income every year, but the social benefits it brings are very large."

Mu Guoxing looked at Wu Yan with interest, wanting to hear what the female mayor thought.The National Development and Reform Commission issued a document half a year ago, requiring all provinces and cities to cancel toll stations within two years and return the road to the people. However, the resistance encountered is still very large, mainly because some local governments cannot figure it out for no reason. What's more, after canceling the toll stations, the roads must be maintained as usual, which is also a large amount of expenditure, and this money also needs to be paid by the local government. Making money is something no one wants to do now.

It is precisely because of these reasons that all localities have great resistance to the document of the Development and Reform Commission, and some places even proposed that they can cancel the toll booths, but the maintenance costs of the roads will be subsidized by the state finance in the future. The game of interests between the central and local governments.

"Now the economic development momentum of Baohe City is very good. Due to a series of measures such as strengthening environmental protection and closing mountains for forestation, Baohe City has a very beautiful environment and has attracted a large number of foreign investors. Especially Baohe City has always insisted on implementing Green agriculture, the agricultural products produced are all pollution-free organic products, the market is very good, the common people don’t need to go out at all, and there are dealers from other places to buy them.”

Mu Guoxing understands that when the environment is better, more investors will come to the door, and the sales of the green agricultural products produced will be better. Although the cancellation of toll stations will reduce the government's fiscal revenue on the surface, but the merchants who come will not With more and more merchants, the purchase price of local agricultural products will naturally rise. This is a good way to hide wealth among the people and achieve common prosperity.As long as the common people are rich, is the government still afraid of having no money?

"Considering these factors, the Baohe Municipal Government made a plan. The Standing Committee of the National People's Congress approved the plan after full research and extensive consultation with the masses. From the current point of view, the effect is still very good. According to relevant departments According to the statistical data, not only will the financial revenue of Baohe City this year not decrease due to the cancellation of toll booths, but it will also increase by more than 15.00% compared with last year."
