The pursuit of a position in officialdom

Liu Yuan felt a ripple in his heart when he heard Li Wujiang say this. He had been with Fang Hongwei for three years, and although he was very successful, Fang Hongwei was in the ascendant and left without saying anything. He was in his thirties and had not yet solved the deputy division-level problem. Li Wujiang was in his twenties and was already a division-level cadre.

"County Magistrate Li, you also know that we are secretaries, and many tasks are beyond our control."

"It's okay, as long as you are willing to go down, I will talk to Secretary Fang when I have a chance."

"Then let County Magistrate Li worry about it. County Magistrate Li, please sit down for a while, I will go to see if Secretary Fang has finished talking."

After a while, Liu Yuan came over to invite Li Wujiang to come over.

"Wujiang, you are here, sit down quickly."

"Secretary Fang, I came here today to cause trouble for you." Li Wujiang went straight to the point and talked about wanting to fight for the Liunan Highway.

Seeing Li Wujiang in a dilemma, Fang Hongwei asked, "This is a good thing, and it is in line with your habits. You are fearless in everything you do, so why is it so difficult to get a project?"

"Secretary Fang, I am not worried about getting the project. The key is that transportation work is under the charge of Deputy Mayor Du. You know the conflict between him and me. What I am most worried about is that it will not pass his test?"

Fang Hongwei wanted to laugh when he saw Li Wujiang's expression, and said, "Who made you jump so hard at that time and didn't give Lao Du a little face, and now you are uncomfortable."

"Secretary Fang, you can't say that. Wasn't I also for Nandu at that time? If the land acquisition of the steel plant was not handled well, there would be no steel project site in full swing now. Nandu should also credit me for my contribution."

Fang Hongwei smiled and said, "Everything you say becomes reasonable. As for Lao Du, don't worry, I will tell him when the time comes. Now the main thing is that the funds required for the construction of the Liunan Highway project are too large. You also know the current situation of Nandu. It is estimated that it is difficult for Nandu to build this highway alone."

"You leaders are all troubled when it comes to money. Secretary Fang, I won't make it difficult for you. I will try to get some funds from the higher authorities for the project, and I hope that the Nandu City Finance Department can also match some of it when the time comes."

"Okay, as long as you can get the funds, as the big brother, I will definitely support the construction of Liunan Highway. Wujiang, let's put Liunan Highway aside for now. You have been in Liuhe for a while, how do you feel about Liuhe?"

"Secretary Fang, the water in Liuhe is very deep, and things are difficult to handle. I am now looking for a breakthrough, and it will probably take some time."

"Okay, I am confident that you can do things. When you first went there, I was still worried that you would act on impulse, and if something happened again, I would not be able to explain to the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government."

"Thank you Secretary Fang for your concern, I will be careful in everything."

"Okay, since you are here, don't leave in the evening. We haven't had dinner together for a long time. Let's have dinner together in the evening, and you can invite Mayor Changsheng to come."

In the evening, Li Wujiang asked Li Guixiang to arrange a place to eat in advance. Li Wujiang brought Deng Dahai and Mei Zhilin with him. When the two saw the relationship between Li Wujiang, Fang Hongwei and Zhang Changsheng, they were very surprised. It seems that this young County Magistrate Li is very capable and is getting closer to Li Wujiang. This is exactly what Li Wujiang wants. He can't accomplish anything by fighting alone in Liuhe County. If he wants to gain a foothold in Liuhe, he must find a partner. At present, he thinks Deng Dahai is the best ally.

"Secretary Fang, I toast you a glass." Deng Dahai is old, and his hands are still shaking when he toasts Fang Hongwei.

"Old Deng, I heard from Wujiang that you are good in Liuhe. I hope you can cooperate with Wujiang's work better in the future." Fang Hongwei is cheering for Li Wujiang.

Deng Dahai said, "Okay, Secretary Fang, I will cooperate with County Magistrate Li to carry out his work. County Magistrate Li is young and promising, and he will definitely lead the people of Liuhe County out of poverty and become rich."

"Wujiang, Nandu City ranks the investment promotion and economic development of each county every quarter, and your Liuhe County has always been at the bottom. There will be another meeting next month, you have to speed up." Zhang Changsheng said under the influence of alcohol.

"Mayor Zhang, don't worry, the backwardness is only temporary. Once the development direction of Liuhe County is clear, I will definitely make Liuhe go ahead of the whole city."

Li Wujiang said it very domineeringly, which impressed everyone present. That night, the atmosphere was very harmonious, and everyone at the dinner table achieved their goals.

The next day, Li Wujiang returned to Liuhe County with Deng Dahai and Mei Zhilin. Li Wujiang was in a hurry to return because he received a call from Li Na, saying that she was going to Liuhe County with experts from the Provincial Agricultural Science Institute for guidance today, and Li Wujiang needed to go back in advance to make arrangements.

"County Mayor Li, what should our Transportation Bureau do next?" Mei Zhilin asked in the car.

"Director Mei, after we go back, we will wait for the city's approval. After the city approves it, I will go to the higher authorities to seek funding. But during this period, you should not be idle. On the one hand, we should optimize the roads, and on the other hand, you should count the labor force required for the project construction in advance, and make a statistics of the labor force that can be mobilized in the whole county in advance. When the project starts construction, the personnel must be in place."

"Okay, County Magistrate Li."

Deng Dahai was a little worried about Li Wujiang after listening to his words. The highway project has not been finalized yet, and no one knows where the project funds will come from. Li Wujiang can consider the later construction.

After returning to Liuhe County, Li Wujiang called Li Yihuan, who was in charge of agricultural work, to his office.

"County Magistrate Yihuan, come and sit down." Li Wujiang asked Li Yihuan to sit down and carefully looked at the short-haired female county magistrate, who looked very refined. Li Wujiang had read her resume. Li Yihuan was not a native of Liuhe County, but in response to the call from the superiors, each county team member must be equipped with a female member. Li Yihuan came down from the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department last year.

"County Magistrate Yihuan, did you work in the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department before?"

"Yes, County Magistrate Li. I have worked in the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department for more than ten years."

"I talked about you with Minister Cheng in the city yesterday. Minister Cheng said you are very good and capable."

Li Yihuan was surprised to hear Li Wujiang mention Minister Cheng Xiuyun of the Organization Department. But she was also very bitter in her heart. She knew that her biggest disadvantage was that she had no backing. Otherwise, she would not have survived until the age of 40 and not been promoted to the deputy director level in such a critical unit as the Organization Department. Last year, in order to be promoted to deputy director, she applied to Liuhe County, where no one was willing to come. Li Wujiang said that Minister Cheng remembered her, which was just a polite remark.

"Liuhe County is far from Nandu City, and I haven't been back to the ministry to report to Minister Cheng for a long time."

Chapter 143: For agricultural development and for the happiness of the people

"That's perfect. I will report to Minister Cheng in Nandu City in a while. You can go with me then. I called you here today mainly to tell you that several experts will come from the provincial agricultural science institute today. They mainly want to investigate the growth of crops in our county and also to diagnose the agricultural development of our county. You need to do three things. The first is to arrange the food and accommodation of the experts; the second is to plan the route of the experts' investigation, and you must include Liziping; the third is that when the time comes, you'd better accompany the experts to investigate and master the first-hand information."

Li Yihuan came down to do something, but after coming down, she found that the working environment in Liuhe was so complicated that many agricultural work had not been carried out for more than a year. She knew the suffering of farmers, and she was still very excited when she heard Li Wujiang say that experts from the provincial research institute would come to guide the work.

"County Magistrate Li, don't worry, I will go and implement these things now."

"Okay, when you accompany the expert group to investigate in the next two days, you can use my car first. I have already told Xiaowei."

"Thank you, County Magistrate Li." Li Yihuan was still very moved by Li Wujiang's approach. It is not easy for a county magistrate to be so thoughtful.

It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon when Li Na arrived in Liuhe County with the expert group. What shocked Li Wujiang was that Li Na not only brought the expert group, but also brought two large trucks of supplies, including rice, flour and oil, to donate to the poor.

Li Na was a little excited when she saw Li Wujiang. The two had not seen each other for more than 20 days and missed each other very much, but in front of everyone, the two did not dare to be blatant. It was just that when shaking hands, Li Wujiang scratched Li Na's palm, which made Li Na's face red.

Li Na introduced the members of the expert group headed by Mao Chenglin to Li Wujiang. Li Wujiang expressed his gratitude for their arrival. Li Wujiang asked Li Yihuan to arrange for Li Na and others to rest in the guesthouse first.

The two truckloads of supplies brought by Li Na shocked the comrades in the county party committee compound, but they also held a glimmer of hope. It would be great if this could be distributed as welfare for everyone.

Li Wujiang had previously reported to Lu Zhenjun about the experts from the Provincial Agricultural Science Institute coming to Liuhe County to guide the work. Lu Zhenjun expressed his support. This time, Li Na sent two truckloads of supplies, and Li Wujiang temporarily planned to hold a donation ceremony to inspire caring companies to donate to Liuhe County to support agriculture.

"Wujiang, I support you saying that you want to hold this donation ceremony. Just do it boldly as you know how to do the specific work."

"Okay, Secretary Lu, I hope to invite you to attend this donation ceremony."

Lu Zhenjun stopped him with his big hand and said, "Wujiang, I won't attend this donation ceremony. You can take full responsibility."

After Li Wujiang left, he asked Qiu Qiming to prepare the items needed for the donation ceremony overnight, and invited Liuhe County TV Station to do a good job of news reporting.

"Brother Jiang, Liuhe County is too remote. We drove for seven or eight hours."

"Yes, there is no other way. We have to come to work as arranged by the organization."

"Brother Jiang, I don't know what you are after?"

"Na Zi, we don't have to have any purpose in doing any work. As long as we are true to our conscience and have a clear conscience, it's fine."

"It seems that your realm is getting higher and higher, and we can't catch up."

"Na Zi, the poverty alleviation and agricultural assistance activities you have carried out in Jingtian County are very good. This time you come to Liuhe, you must bring the agricultural assistance experience of Jingtian County to help the people of Liuhe County get rid of poverty and become rich."

"Okay, Brother Jiang. I am now the fire captain. You go wherever there is poverty."

"Na Zi, you are not only the fire captain of the people, but also my fire captain." Li Wujiang said, and pulled Li Na into his arms. The two of them were in love with each other, and the atmosphere soon reached a climax.

"Brother Jiang, you must be bored here."

"There is no other way. I can only live a peaceful life here." Li Wujiang suddenly thought of Xiaoxue. Li Wujiang told Li Na that he should take care of Xiaoxue's family and find a doctor to see Xiaoxue's parents.

"Brother Jiang, you are living well here. No wonder the waiter in the guesthouse looks at you differently." Li Na misunderstood when she heard that Li Wujiang was so good to Xiaoxue and became jealous.

Li Wujiang quickly explained the situation.

"Brother Jiang, how can there be such people? You came so far from the provincial capital just to develop Liuhe, why do they treat you like this?" Li Na said indignantly.

"Nazi, you must remember that where there are people, there is struggle. The struggle will never end. Since we can't get rid of the struggle, we must fight bravely."

That night, Li Na felt very sorry for Li Wujiang, so she hugged him tightly and watched him sleep well.

"Comrades, first of all, let us thank Changting Company for its strong support to our Liuhe County. It is with the help of these caring companies that we can help the people of Liuhe County get rid of poverty and become rich as soon as possible. Here I announce that we will distribute all the materials donated by Changting to the hands of the poor."

The crowd watching below burst into warm applause, while the cadres and workers in the county applauded sparsely, which made Li Wujiang very embarrassed. However, Li Wujiang was also a person who had seen big scenes, and he still insisted on hosting the donation ceremony.

Then Li Wujiang asked Li Yihuan to accompany Li Na and others to key towns such as Liziping to guide agricultural work and distribute poverty alleviation materials.

"Secretary Lu, County Magistrate Li has offended all the comrades in the county party compound. He got two large trucks of supplies, but didn't give everyone any benefits. Everyone is pointing fingers behind his back." Feng Zhaoxiang, member of the county party committee and director of the county party committee office, said.

"This group of cadres only know how to covet such a small profit. But County Magistrate Li is still too young. How can he carry out his work without any cadre foundation at the grassroots level?"

"Yes, Secretary Lu, the work is done with the help of comrades. Without the help of comrades, even if he has three heads and six arms, he can't do the work well."

"Zhaoxiang, we don't care what County Magistrate Li does, let him toss and see what he can do."

"Shaofei, why are you hesitant to speak?"

Song Shaofei also heard a few words about Li Wujiang outside. As Li Wujiang's secretary, he felt it necessary to report to Li Wujiang, but he didn't know how to say it. After thinking for a while, he said, "Chief Li, there are different opinions about the distribution of this batch of donated materials."

"Oh, what are the opinions? Tell me." Li Wujiang said with a smile.

"Liuhe County is a poor county, and the living conditions of cadres and workers are not good. Everyone thought that the donated items were for the benefit of everyone, but they were distributed to the people. So everyone has some ideas in their hearts."

Chapter 144 Liuhe Winery, a breakthrough point for economic development

Li Wujiang laughed loudly. As a cadre, he should be dedicated to the benefit of the masses and not compete with the people for profit. The cadres of Liuhe County are just the opposite. They only think about their own interests and forget the interests of the people. "Okay, Shaofei, let them say what they want. But you have to remember that as cadres, we must establish the idea of ​​everything for the people. Okay, go and find the leaders of the Industrial Bureau."

After a while, Zhang Faqiang, the director of the Industrial Bureau, came. This guy has a big belly, like a rich man.

"County Magistrate Li, you are here for me."

"Director Zhang, come and sit down. I want to ask you about the status of industrial enterprises in our county today."

"County Magistrate Li, there are more than 20 enterprises in Liuhe County, including flour mills, wineries, glass factories, machinery processing plants, and mines. However, the mines are now contracted to private individuals. The rest of the enterprises are collective enterprises, and most of them are currently in a loss-making state, with income exceeding expenditure."

Li Wujiang actually knows that this is the case even though he doesn't understand it. However, if Liuhe County wants to develop, it still needs to find the core industry to develop.

"Director Zhang, look at so many enterprises in our county. Which products are distinctive?"

Zhang Faqiang said with a smile, "County Magistrate Li, the enterprises in our county can't support themselves, so what characteristics do they have? If we have to talk about local characteristics, then our county's winemaking still has a certain history and culture, especially in ancient times when there was a winemaking master. In ancient times, many great poets came to Liuhe to taste wine and left many famous quotes through the ages."

"Okay, this is the characteristic of Liuhe. Let's go to the winery in Liuhe now."
