life in the sky

After walking for more than a mile, a dilapidated temple appeared in front of Mu Guoxing. If it wasn't for a bamboo pole flying the national flag in the middle of the courtyard, Mu Guoxing would not have believed that this place turned out to be a school.He thought that the place where he went to school when he was a child was simple enough, but he didn't expect that after more than 20 years, there is still such a school in this economically developed city.

Half of the main hall of this temple has collapsed, only the east wing is relatively well preserved. A larger room seems to be the place where the abbot of the temple used to live. This is the desk for children to study. He remembered someone once described the schools in poor areas like this: dark room, earth platform, and mud children sitting inside!

Next to this so-called classroom, there is a room of seven or eight square meters, in which there is a three-legged Eight Immortals table. The table is neatly filled with students' homework books and some self-made teaching aids.Inside is a single bed made of bamboo, and there is a stove near the door.Mu Guoxing lifted the lid of the pot and took a look. There was half a pot of sweet potato rice cooking inside.

Seeing this, Mu Guoxing's heart became heavier, and he was also a little moved. He held Chu Feiyang's hand tightly: "Mr. Chu, it's hard for you, and it's hard for these children. This is our dereliction of duty!"

Mu Guoxing turned around and said solemnly to the officials, large and small, who were following him: "Look for yourself, can the situation here be obtained by sitting in the office and listening to reports? Seeing all this, Don't you think your job is dereliction of duty? It is such a place where children rely on shelter from wind and rain, and someone wants to take him back. I really don't know what you think!"

At this time, Chu Feiyang's eyes were already filled with tears, but he tried his best not to let it flow out. Regarding the letter he wrote, he had no hope at all. He once thought that if the secretary of the municipal party committee really It was enough to receive his letter, to give instructions on the letter, so that the county would not let those monks come back, but unexpectedly, this letter really called the secretary of the municipal party committee to this small mountain village.

"Secretary Mu, you can't blame these leaders. Our school was originally established by the villagers themselves, and it was not included in the education plan. Therefore, it is normal that the government does not have this kind of expenditure. Besides, we are used to it!"

Mu Guoxing said with a heavy tone: "Mr. Chu, what you said in the letter to me is very good. The school is not included in the education plan, but these children always have the right to education, and they also have the right to education." We, a member of Anjiang City, are the future of this country. We have been talking about it for many years, no matter how poor you are, you can’t afford education, and no matter how hard you are, you can’t suffer children! But what are we doing? Have you seriously reflected on it? this problem?"

Mu Guoxing's last words were addressed to the officials behind him. Under his gaze, these officials lowered their heads one by one, never daring to face Mu Guoxing again, nor did they dare to face Mu Guoxing again. Face this teacher Chu and this "black" school!

Yan Yuqiu, secretary of the county party committee, felt that he should come forward and say a few words, and said to Mu Guoxing in a heavy tone: "Secretary Mu, you are right in your criticism. This is our dereliction of duty. I request punishment from the municipal party committee!"

Mu Guoxing looked at Yan Yuqiu, and said slowly: "I am also responsible for this matter. As for your punishment, I will not consider it for the time being. Your main leaders at the county and township levels are here. Go out and discuss it, see how to solve this problem, I will have a good chat with Teacher Chu here!"

Mu Guoxing and Chu Feiyang found a place to sit down, and Mu Guoxing said: "Mr. Chu, I didn't sleep well all night when I received your letter. I came here today just to see what I can do for these children." What to order, what request do you have, just tell me, I will find a way to do it!"

Chu Feiyang stood up, walked to his bedside, opened a small wooden box made in an unknown year, took out a stack of manuscript paper, and handed it to Mu Guoxing.

"Secretary Mu, all my wishes are on this. If the leader can fulfill my wish, my life will not be in vain!"

VIP Chapter 230 Eliminate Poverty Dead Ends

Mu Guoxing took over the stack of manuscript paper and read it carefully. Chu Feiyang described the dream in his heart in detail in this material, listing each item clearly.What surprised Mu Guoxing was that under the pile of materials, there were several design drawings cobbled together from manuscript paper. On the top of the drawings, there was a line of big characters written in large characters: Jiushan Village Primary School Vision Map.

Although Mu Guoxing hadn't studied architectural knowledge systematically, there were not a few projects approved by him over the years. He often dealt with some architectural experts, so he learned a lot of architectural knowledge.It can be seen that this drawing comes from the hands of professionals.

Mu Guoxing looked at Chu Feiyang and asked, "Mr. Chu, did you design this?"

Chu Feiyang smiled and nodded, as if this was a very common thing, without showing any abnormality.

"Mr. Chu, you mentioned in your letter that you have worked in other places. Now that I see this design drawing, I know it was made by a professional. Can you tell me about your experience, maybe I can help you."

Chu Feiyang shook his head, he didn't want to open the wound that had healed up, sighed, and said slowly: "Secretary Mu, I'm sorry, let the past pass forever, I'm old now, already Without the ambition of my youth, now I just think about realizing my dream in my lifetime, and I don’t want anything else!"

Mu Guoxing understood that there must be a pain in Teacher Chu's heart that will never be erased, and he was unwilling to open the wound that had already healed up and show it bloody again in front of others.Since people are unwilling to speak out, we must respect his choice, and the most important thing is to fulfill his wish as soon as possible.

"Teacher Chu, please rest assured that I will not only fulfill your wish, but also conduct a survey within the city to see how many poor corners like Jiushan Village are still in Anjiang, and how many children have no books to read. , Let all the common people become rich as soon as possible, so that all children can sit in spacious and bright classrooms to study!"

Teacher Chu stood up and bowed deeply to Mu Guoxing: "Secretary Mu, thank you, so you will be of great merit!"

Yan Yuqiu walked in

: "Secretary Mu, just now we had a meeting to unify our opinions, and we proposed three solutions to the problem of Jiushan Village Primary School. First, the primary school will be included in the education management system. Second, the county will allocate a special fund. Build a regular primary school here. Third, considering the timeliness of building the school, before the school is officially built, we will repair the temple and let them continue to use it.”

Mu Guoxing nodded: "Comrade Yuqiu, these three plans are not bad, and they have been considered comprehensively. But have you considered one question, why is this place so poor? The root cause of the problem is poverty Therefore, when we think about the problem, we can’t treat the head with the head and treat the foot with the pain, but we must solve the problem fundamentally.”

Mu Guoxing turned around and asked Chu Feiyang: "Mr. Chu, how is the labor force in this village?"

"Secretary Mu, there are more than 120 households in our village, and the labor force is still abundant. Due to the high mountains and dangerous roads, there are no roads, and there is no sideline business except agriculture. The most valuable thing is the bamboo forest all over the mountain. We also I thought about doing bamboo and wood processing like Qijiang Town, but since there is no road, even if it is processed, it cannot be transported out!"

Mu Guoxing nodded: "If you want to get rich, build roads first! This sentence is very correct. Comrade Yu Qiu, you go back and organize people to come here for on-the-spot investigation, come up with a plan, and see if you can solve this problem. How much does it cost to build a village-level road? In addition, you have to conduct a large-scale survey within the entire county to see how many poor corners like Jiushan Village still exist, and write a detailed report to the municipal party committee. The municipal party committee is also preparing to issue A document, the focus of the city's work in the next step will be shifted to this aspect."

Yan Yuqiu knew that to build such a village-level road, due to the steep terrain, the investment would never be low.It is simply impossible to rely on the county's finances alone.In the case of Jiushan Village, it is estimated that there will be a few more in Yongtian County. As for how many in the whole city, I don't know.It may be very difficult for Secretary Mu to solve this problem at once.

"Secretary Mu, I'm a little worried about whether the finances can support our project."

Mu Guoxing smiled: "Comrade Yuqiu, your worry is also justified. In the case of Jiushan Village, I guess it can only exist in some marginal cities and counties of our city, so the number of him will not be too high." There are too many. In addition, we can adopt a method, funded by the government, and mobilize the masses in line with the principle that whoever benefits should build roads, and I think this difficulty will not be difficult to solve.”

Chu Feiyang also understood the meaning of Mu Guoxing's words, and also interjected at this time: "Secretary Mu, your method is good. It's not that our village has never thought about building roads, but we just don't have money. If we have money, we can help We are not afraid!"

Fang Hantao, deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee, came over: "Secretary Mu, it's almost time, should we return to the county seat? I heard from the comrades in Tushan Town that once it gets dark, the mountain roads here are impossible to walk, and it is easy to be dangerous. ,"

Mu Guoxing beckoned to Ying Yiwei: "Secretary Ying, take the envelope I prepared and give it to Teacher Chu!"

"Mr. Chu, this is my personal wish, please accept it!"

After Mu Guoxing finished speaking, he took the lead and strode away from the temple.Chu Feiyang was left standing there blankly holding the thick envelope in his hands. Seeing that Mu Guoxing had gone far, Teacher Chu remembered that he had not said goodbye to Secretary Mu.

The poverty situation in Jiushan Village left a deep impression on Mu Guoxing. When he returned to the city, he asked the Municipal Party Committee Office to issue a notice to all counties and districts to conduct a thorough investigation within the city to see How many impoverished villages like Jiushan Village are there?How many schools do not have school buildings, and how many children cannot afford to read because of poverty in their families.

The situation came back quickly. In addition to three places like Jiushan Village in Yongtian County, two similar situations were found in Fengbei County, which shows that there are not too many dead corners of poverty in Anjiang City.However, a problem has also been exposed. In any economically developed city, there are more or less dead ends of poverty.

At the subsequent meeting of the Standing Committee, Mu Guoxing said: "Comrades, after our investigation, there are still five mountain villages in Anjiang City that are quite poor. The main reason is that there are no roads. Therefore, building roads is a must One of the most fundamental ways to get the masses out of poverty. Although there are not too many dead corners of poverty in Anjiang City, they are also very representative. We must take this matter as a major event. In today's increasingly affluent, we must People are not allowed to live in poverty, and we must truly achieve the goal of common prosperity."

According to Mu Guoxing's proposal, the Standing Committee allocated a sum of funds from the municipal finance for the construction of village-level roads, and the Municipal Committee instructed the Municipal Education Commission to incorporate all private schools into the education management system. This is how the work of eradicating the dead ends of poverty began.

The date of the opening ceremony of the international airport is approaching day by day, and Mu Guoxing, the leader of the leading group, is getting more and more busy. He has to listen to the work reports of the various offices under the leading group almost every day, and according to the progress of the work. Communicate with Yuan Baozheng, and constantly adjust the implementation plan of various preparations.

Yuan Baozheng was also very cooperative in these tasks, not only conscientiously implemented Mu Guoxing's instructions, but also put forward many constructive suggestions, and the relationship between the two entered a honeymoon period.

One afternoon, the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee received a notice from the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee that Teng Jinze, full-time deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and executive deputy leader of the leading group for the airport opening ceremony, was coming to Anjiang to check the preparations for the airport opening ceremony

VIP One Thousand 230 Chapter Three Power Struggle

When Teng Jinze came to Anjiang, Mu Guoxing took the main leaders of the four major teams to meet him at the intersection of the highway as usual.In fact, Mu Guoxing didn't need to make such a big show. The two were both members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and had the same administrative level, so it was fine for him to be represented by the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee.

The reason why Mu Guoxing did this was because of his own considerations. Although the two are the same in terms of rank, Teng Jinze is still the full-time deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and ranks third in the standing committee of the provincial party committee. This time he is representing the provincial party committee again. He and the Provincial Airport Ceremony Leading Group came. From these aspects, Mu Guoxing should come to pick them up.

Secondly, the main purpose of Mu Guoxing going to greet him in person was to show his favor to Teng Jinze.Under the current situation, getting the support of a deputy secretary of the provincial party committee will be of great help to Mu Guoxing.

Teng Jinze did not expect that Mu Guoxing would come to pick him up in person. When he saw Mu Guoxing standing at the front of the crowd at the exit of the expressway, he was also surprised. After getting off the car, he warmly held Mu Guoxing. Guoxing's hand repeatedly expressed that he did not dare to take it.

Mu Guoxing said with a smile: "Secretary Jinze, you are very welcome to take time out of your busy schedule to come to Anjiang to inspect and guide the work. Your coming to Anjiang is to promote and support our work. Of course I will come to welcome you! "

In the small conference room of the Municipal Party Committee, Mu Guoxing, on behalf of the Anjiang Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government and the Anjiang City Airport Ceremony Leading Group, gave a work report to Teng Jinze, and Yuan Baozheng made supplements later.Seeing that Mu Guoxing and Yuan Baozheng had a good relationship, Teng Jinze smiled.He also secretly praised Mu Guoxing's scheming, and his ability to handle the relationship with Yuan Baozheng well, which shows that Mu Guoxing has become more mature politically.

Yuan Baozheng left because there was something to do with the municipal government. Teng Jinze smiled and said to Mu Guoxing: "Comrade Guoxing, I am very pleased to see that you two are cooperating well in your work. I am here this time in Anjiang Well, Secretary Fang also told me to observe how the relationship between you is, if you can do this, I will go back and ask Secretary Fang."

Mu Guoxing smiled: "Secretary Jinze, doing a good job of unity and contributing to the development of Anjiang is what Comrade Baozheng and I hope to do, and we are also working hard in this direction. Please rest assured that the Provincial Party Committee is not only working with Baozheng Comrades are in the Standing Committee, and we will all do this.”

Teng Jinze nodded and didn't say anything more, but he was wondering whether these two people would really be able to unite in the future.

Some time ago, when Teng Jinze knew that Yuan Baozheng was coming to Anjiang to serve as the mayor, he also learned about Yuan Baozheng's situation through an old colleague of his in Guangdong.Teng Jinze learned from that old colleague that Yuan Baozheng is an extremely powerful secretary of the municipal party committee.

Because of Mr. Kuang's support, Yuan Baozheng kept his word on the Standing Committee, and no one dared to disobey his command.Even in the province, some leaders gave Mr. Kuang three points because of his face.This formed Yuan Baozheng's arrogant and domineering personality.

As the saying goes, there are advantages and disadvantages in doing anything. Although Yuan Baozheng has done a good job and the city he leads ranks among the top economically in Guangdong Province, but because of his strong work style, he offended Quite a few people had the opportunity to be promoted several times, but they were strongly opposed by Governor Gao Xuzheng and other standing committee members, who firmly suppressed him in the position of secretary of the municipal party committee, and failed to let him go any further for ten years.

Teng Jinze is also very clear that if it wasn't for an old central chief who instructed Wu Laixiang to delay the appointment of the two deputy mayors of Anjiang City and create conditions for his people to serve as mayors, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the central high-level The position of mayor is definitely not Yuan Baozheng's turn.

Not only Teng Jinze, but also Fang Pingyi, secretary of the provincial party committee, was worried about whether Yuan Baozheng would be able to form a good team with Mu Guoxing when he came to Anjiang as mayor.They all knew that Mu Guoxing was originally a very powerful person with such a strong background. If there was another powerful person with a strong background, it would be strange if the two could get together!
