Excellent little farmer

Wu Fangzhou turned on the car stereo, played a piece of music with a bright rhythm, and said with a smile: "Secretary Ye, our municipal party committee secretary! Everything is good, but he has a strong desire for power, firmly grasps the personnel power, and is nepotistic. The phenomenon is very serious, but the government does not care about people, and cannot influence some people's official hats. This leads to ineffective government orders, and many problems are accumulated and become difficult to deal with. This phenomenon must be changed as soon as possible."

I smiled slightly and said meaningfully: "Mayor Wu, you can't beat people to death with a stick. I think Secretary Bao still has a big picture view. Although as a leading cadre, he also has many shortcomings, but generally speaking, The public spirit should be greater than selfishness, otherwise, I would have gone to the province to take charge of the work and would not have stayed in Minjiang."

Wu Fangzhou shook his head slightly and defended in a low voice: "Secretary Ye, you don't know something. Secretary Bao refused to leave Minjiang, which aroused a lot of discussion. Many cadres believed that he was afraid that after leaving, Minjiang The lid will be opened and something will go wrong."

I smiled, turned to look at him, and said with a serious expression: "Mayor Wu, before the facts are clear, you can't spread rumors, let alone believe rumors. That's not good."

Wu Fangzhou laughed haha! He smiled and said: "Secretary Ye is right to criticize, but maybe because of different perspectives on the problem, among the two leaders, I am more inclined to Mayor Li."

I smiled and said nothing, but looked out the window and looked at the buildings passing by on both sides. I saw the car driving forward along the main road, as if heading towards the old city. He frowned and said in surprise: "Mayor Wu, where are we going?"

Wu Fangzhou smiled mysteriously and lowered his voice: "Secretary Ye, let's go to a fun place. I'll make sure you have a good time."

I smiled and said softly: "Old Wu, don't be too pretentious. Speak clearly first so that you don't go to some romantic places. That won't work."

Wu Fangzhou laughed, waved his hand and said: "Secretary Ye, there is a Qingyun Temple on the outskirts of the old city. It has a history of more than two hundred years. Let's go there first and test a few hexagrams."

I turned sideways and said with a smile: "Old Wu, you are an intellectual, why do you like to do this kind of thing?"

Wu Fangzhou turned off the stereo in the car, handed over a bottle of mineral water, and said with a smile: "Secretary Ye, to tell you the truth, I didn't believe it in the past. I always thought it was feudal superstition and had no scientific basis. But after several years of experience, After this incident, I was convinced that there are indeed some unexplained events in this world, which are very mysterious."

My curiosity was aroused by him, so I opened the bottle cap, took a sip of water, and quickly asked: "Old Wu, tell me, what's the mysterious incident?"

Wu Fangzhou smiled and said mysteriously: "There is a great person in Qingyun Temple, Master Miaoke. Not only is she beautiful, she can also do calculations. She is very good at Taoism. One of her most famous things is When she first arrived at Qingyun Nunnery, she only stayed there for less than half a month. She said that there was a treasure in the nunnery, which was hidden underground in the west wing. None of the nuns believed it at the time. The hostess thought she was too meddlesome and almost had her arrested. She drove away."

At this point, he paused and glanced sideways at me. Seeing that he was listening with great interest, he raised his voice again and said with great joy: "But half a year later, because Qingyun Nunnery was renovated, after the west wing was demolished, the earth was dug. The machine was driven in for work, and unexpectedly, white silver coins were dug out from the ground. After counting, there were as many as six thousand. Master Miaoke suddenly became a famous figure, and many people came to ask for fortune-telling. It was very popular. It was effective. Later, because I couldn't bear the nuisance and was afraid of affecting Qingxiu, I made a rule to only perform three hexagrams at most every month."

I was a little fascinated by what I heard, but I still said: "Old Wu, what you are talking about may be propaganda done by the nunnery. It is a gimmick to make some incense money. It is not very credible."

As expected, Wu Fangzhou was fooled and waved his hands repeatedly: "Secretary Ye, this Master Miaoke is indeed amazing. I have personally experienced it. I remember one time when Director Haichao's youngest daughter lost her temper and ran away from home, which made him, a public security officer, anxious. The director sent out his troops to look for them. They searched for three days and three nights, but failed to find it. Later, his wife was desperate and went to Master Miaoke for help. I was accompanying him at the time. Master Miaoke made a prediction. It was said that he was in an Internet cafe in the Gulou District of Yuzhou, the provincial capital. Director Haichao was suspicious and sent his subordinates to look for him. Unexpectedly, he found the child in the Internet cafe. Do you think this is a miracle? "

I was secretly surprised, but on the surface I was calm and said nonchalantly: "It may be a coincidence. Nowadays, many children run away from home and run to Internet cafes."

Wu Fangzhou lost his temper and gave another example: "In May, I asked Master Miaoke for divination. She told me at that time that you should not go near water this month, otherwise it would be dangerous. At that time, the master said this When he spoke, his expression was surprisingly calm, as if he was joking. I didn't pay much attention to it, but I still paid attention to it. I pushed off a few jobs to go to the riverside. It was almost the end of the month, and I thought everything would be fine. But when I got home from work that day, I walked to the kitchen. The nanny was making noodles and boiling a pot of water. At that time, she felt that there was a lot of water, so she wanted to pour some out, but somehow, by some strange coincidence, she ended up holding a pot of water. The water came over me, a pot of boiling water, and almost poured all over me. Fortunately, I was smart enough! I jumped out immediately, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. It was so thrilling! I didn't sleep for three days in a row. Have a good sleep, Secretary Ye, do you think it’s evil?”

I laughed, waved my hand and said, "You! You must have touched the nanny and made her angry, so I tried to find a way to punish you. You don't know how to reflect, but you found this lame excuse to cover up."

Wu Fangzhou laughed and sighed: "This kind of thing will work if you believe it, but if you don't believe it, it won't work. I have made an appointment with the master to ask her to divine a prediction for you. If you really don't want to believe it, , just think of it as a joke."

I smiled, squinted my eyes, and said nothing. However, in my heart, there was an additional expectation. I wanted to see this Master Miaoke. Is it really as magical as Wu Fangzhou said...

After driving for forty minutes, the Audi entered the old city. The road conditions here were very poor, and many of the roads were bumpy. Although the speed had slowed down, the Audi was still bumping. I looked through the car. I opened the window and looked at the dilapidated buildings on both sides of the street, the domestic garbage everywhere, and the depressing scene everywhere. My mood became extremely heavy and I was speechless for a long time.

As if he noticed something, Wu Fangzhou smiled slightly and said softly: "Secretary Ye, the old city has a poor foundation and a weak foundation. In addition, in recent years, the city has focused its main investment on the Xingang District, making the development of both sides very unsatisfactory. Balance, Mayor Li also emphasized at the meeting a few days ago that this situation must be changed and the gap should be shortened as soon as possible.”

I couldn't comment too much, so I nodded and said with a smile: "Old Wu, you have a heavy burden on your shoulders."

Wu Fangzhou sighed and said helplessly: "Yes! In fact, in order to boost the economy of the old city as soon as possible, the government has held many meetings and formulated many plans, but it is very difficult to implement them. Big, the key is the lack of funds. Some time ago, I made a special trip to the provincial capital and visited Governor Lu, hoping to win support from above, but with little success. Nowadays, various places are running for funds and projects, and the province also has difficulties. , not easy to balance.”

I smiled and said softly: "Yes! I guess Governor Lu will give you eight words, 'Self-reliance and hard work.'"

Wu Fangzhou chuckled a few times and said meaningfully: "Everyone knows this mantra of the old man. In fact, it was also what Secretary Hua Bo often said. As an old superior, Secretary Hua Bo had a profound influence on Governor Lu."

I smiled knowingly, squinted my eyes, leaned on the seat, and said no more.

I have also heard about some things in the province. Hua Bo, the former secretary of the provincial party committee, presided over the work in Jiangzhou for four years. Later, he retired early due to health reasons. Among the cadres he promoted, the most important It’s Vice Governor Lu.

In order to repay his kindness and support, Vice Governor Lu would naturally take a look at Li Chengao, the son-in-law of Secretary Hua Bo, and take care of him in every possible way. Wu Fangzhou was also a cadre whom Vice Governor Lu had trained hard. With this relationship, in Between Municipal Party Committee Secretary Bao Changrong and Mayor Li Chen, it is understandable that Wu Fangzhou chose to unconditionally support Li Chen and became his right-hand man.

The car drove for another ten minutes and arrived in front of Qingyun Nunnery located in the eastern suburbs. Although it was the weekend, the nunnery was not open to the public, and the front door seemed very deserted. No pilgrims passed by. At the entrance, except for a few stations There was no one else but the children playing around the stone lions.

Wu Fangzhou made a phone call while sitting in the car, and chatted with me for a while. After a while, the vermilion door was creaked! With a push, a little nun of fourteen or fifteen years old came out, jumped to the front of the car, stood by the car door, and said with a smile: "Mayor Wu, you are here!"
