Chapter 237
Shui Qingzhang had selfish motives. Wang Minghong was so optimistic about Shen Zheng, why didn't he use this inspection opportunity to let Li Yuanlang show his face in front of the provincial party committee boss?
So Shui Qingzhang found Jiang Zhaojun, secretary-general of the Provincial Party Committee. When he was the director of the Policy Research Office of the Provincial Party Committee, he had contact with Jiang Zhaojun and was considered an old acquaintance.
Next, according to the original plan, Wang Minghong and his party will also visit Uma County, which is close to Ganping County. There are two roads to choose from from Guangnan to Uma. One is from the west of Guangnan. The road conditions of that road Although it is good, there is a section of mountain road with steep slopes and sharp bends.
The other route is much simpler, passing through Ganping County and heading east, passing through the outskirts of Shuiming Township and reaching Uma County. The only flaw is that the road is relatively narrow. The key is that the road is flat. From a safety perspective, taking this route is the best choice.
In fact, this road was mentioned in the communication between the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee and the General Office of the Guangnan Municipal Party Committee from the very beginning. At that time, Liu Benjie, the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee, was entrusted by someone to take this road, and one of his old subordinates passed by him as a deputy director. The town where the party committee secretary wanted to try some tricks to leave a good impression on the provincial party committee secretary.
An ordinary town may not wait many years for the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee to visit. No one wants to miss this rare opportunity.
Therefore, Liu Benjie said a few good words to the Provincial Party Committee General Office. The other party inspected the site and felt that those sharp turns were not dangerous. The key was that there were fewer vehicles on this road and it saved a lot of time than taking the other way, so he agreed. accepted Liu Benjie’s suggestion.
What Shui Qingzhang meant was that he wanted to be able to see Shuiming Township through Jiang Zhaojun's temporary change of the inspection route to Wuma County.
He naturally knew that Li Yuanlang was organizing the young and middle-aged labor force of the entire township to build roads at the moment, so he thought that if Wang Minghong saw Li Yuanlang leading everyone to sweat like rain, he would definitely leave a good impression, which would make Li Yuanlang look familiar in front of the provincial party committee secretary.
Changing the route temporarily requires the approval of the Provincial Party Committee Secretary, and Jiang Zhaojun cannot make this decision.
Shui Qingzhang was not discouraged and consulted with Shen Zheng again. Shen knew that he was also building roads in Shuiming Township with his construction team, so Shui Qingzhang started from here and persuaded Shen Zheng to put in a few nice words in front of Wang Minghong, and his son Building roads is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. Shen Zheng must also want his son to show this face.
Shen Zheng thought for a moment that although his son was not in politics, he was proud of himself as a father, so after lunch, while sending Wang Minghong back to his room to rest, he casually mentioned the road construction project in Shuiming Township. things.
When Wang Minghong heard Shen Zheng mention the name Li Yuanlang, he felt it sounded familiar. After thinking about it carefully, this boy was somewhat related to him.
I always heard that my son Wang Song and his girlfriend Ye Qingrou talked about her brother Li Yuanlang many times. It seemed that Wang Song still admired Li Yuanlang. He didn't understand, so he took this opportunity to secretly go and see what happened. .
Therefore, Wang Minghong did not agree on the surface, saying that since the route had been planned, he should not change it at will, but should follow the original route.
As a result, in the afternoon, the group, accompanied by Municipal Party Committee Secretary Shui Qingzhang and Mayor Shen Zheng, headed for Wuma County. As soon as they left Guangnan City, Wang Minghong ordered the driver to turn around and head towards Ganping County. He temporarily changed his focus to the route passing Shuiming Township. He wanted to see the truest side of the road, and asked no one on the bus to call and report the news in advance.
Being caught off guard by Wang Minghong, Shui Qingzhang originally wanted to say hello to Li Yuanlang, but he couldn't do anything with the secretary's supervision.
Furthermore, Shui Qingzhang also wanted to see how Li Yuanlang, the prospective son-in-law, did without preparation. It was considered a thorough assessment.
Shen Zheng regretted this. He thought that Wang Minghong would not take that road, so he did not call his son and made a show of it in advance. Now it is impossible to fight. Just kidding, whoever dares to turn a deaf ear to the words of the provincial party committee secretary will do it. It's over.
The group of people rode in a Coaster, with the police car clearing the way in front and a car following behind. This time, they only brought reporters from the provincial TV station to follow for interviews. It can be said that Wang Minghong is quite low-key and can keep things simple, saving a lot of unnecessary cumbersomeness. and trouble.
When passing through Ganping County, officials from the Ganping County Party Committee and County Government did not hold any reception activities because they had not received notification from above.
When the convoy appeared on the central street of the county town, the traffic police on duty immediately noticed that the police car was clearing the way, and the license plate was from the provincial department. They did not dare to neglect and reported it step by step. Finally, the news reached He Yongzhi.
He was surprised when he heard about it and immediately reported it to the county party secretary Fang Yukun and the county magistrate Jin Sheng.
The two of them were equally surprised after hearing this. Through their respective connections, they found out that the three-car convoy that Daqing passed by contained Wang Minghong, secretary of the provincial party committee, Shui Qingzhang, secretary of the municipal party committee, and Shen Zheng, the mayor.
Fang Yukun and Jin Sheng both found it unbelievable. Not to mention the provincial party committee secretary, even the municipal party committee secretary had to be notified in advance when he came to Ganping County. Is this Secretary Wang's private visit incognito to find fault with Ganping County?
The two men were so frightened that they quickly split up and arranged their arrangements. When they heard that the convoy was going to go straight to Uma County through Shuiming Township, Jin Sheng was the first to call Li Yuanlang.
; ; On duty.
"Go and inform Li Yuanlang right away. Secretary Wang of the Provincial Party Committee is going to pass through your Shuiming Township. You must prepare in advance." Jin Sheng was so anxious that Li Yuanlang was so busy that he didn't even have time to make a phone call.
In fact, Jin Sheng had wronged Li Yuanlang. His mobile phone was out of battery and he left it in the construction site office to charge. When Jin Sheng called, Li Yuanlang was no longer in the construction site office, and there was no one else in the construction site office.
At present, the roads in the whole township are basically leveled, and there is an urgent need for a road roller. Li Yuanlang went to Shen Zhizhi to communicate and considered borrowing a road roller from him, even if he paid a little money for gas.
Shen Zhizhi had been living and eating on the construction site during this period. Li Yuanlang and the entire Shuiming Township cadres and workers participated in the road construction. Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Shen Zhizhi was moved by this enthusiasm.
In the past, his understanding of Li Yuanlang was only superficial, but now it seems that Li Yuanlang is a rare good cadre who is willing to work hard for the people. Shen Zhizhi immediately nodded in agreement to Li Yuanlang's request, but the road roller was in use, so he promised to do it later. He drove over. Not to mention whether it was money or not, he knew that he was doing free donations and charity for the people of Shuiming Township.
When Fan Gang finally found Li Yuanlang, Wang Minghong, Jiang Zhaojun, Shui Qingzhang and Shen Zheng were standing on a hillock not far away watching the lively road construction scene.
I saw hundreds of people at the bottom of the mountain, wielding shovels and pickaxes, working enthusiastically.
Wang Minghong ordered someone to call a farmer in his fifties who was very close to them and squatted down to chat with the old farmer.
This man's surname was Han, and he was from Hanjiatun. Hanjiatun originally planned to dispatch forty laborers this time, but when they heard about road construction, everyone enthusiastically signed up, and the number far exceeded this number.
Han Zhongwang had no choice but to choose someone who was in good health and young. The old farmer who was not selected said angrily: "Han Zhishu thought I was old and in poor health, so he didn't let me come. I refused to do it as soon as he heard that."
Well, I’m not old or even 80 years old. I have a little physical problem, but it doesn’t matter. I can’t do the heavy work, but I can do the light work. So, I came to build the road secretly.”
"So, you are not forced to build roads, you are all voluntary?" Wang Minghong asked with interest.
"Who said force? Secretary Li is a good man. He has only been in our town for a long time and he has done so many good things that I can't even count them. Let's talk about building roads. Some people say this is a political achievement project and a job to save face. I
Bah! It’s just a bird’s fart. Look, it turns out that the roads here are muddy and difficult to walk in summer. When there is heavy snow in winter, the mountain is immediately closed. The mountain products in our hands cannot be transported out. They are piled up at home and become moldy and spoiled. The daily necessities we need are no longer available.
The failure of transportation is all caused by this broken road. Let me tell you an example. One year, our family ate potatoes and cabbage for a week. Now I feel sick when I see this stuff. I want to ask those who have some good intentions.
People, who benefit the most from road construction? Isn’t it the common people like us! So when we hear about road construction, everyone is very happy, isn’t it just a matter of giving a lot of effort. We have no money, and the village does not want the people to raise funds.
We dig into our pockets, those who are rich contribute money, and those who have no money contribute our efforts. We all work towards the same goal and use our efforts together. In the end, we will benefit together. This is a great thing for the benefit of future generations. Everyone who is not allowed to come will come. How can there be any coercion?
That’s what I said.”
The old farmer spoke so excitedly that his face turned red. Wang Minghong couldn't help but nodded. The words of the common people were the simplest and most true. He had learned that this township party committee secretary named Li Yuanlang was definitely a very capable and courageous grassroots cadre.
After seeing the old farmer off, Wang Minghong looked at the bustling scene down the mountain and sighed: "If we could have a few more good cadres like this at the grassroots level, the lives of the common people would have been much better."
Shui Qingzhang was pleasantly surprised, but his face was calm, and he didn't comment much. Wang Minghong naturally knew the relationship between Li Yuanlang and him, and it wouldn't be good for him to say more or less. Anyway, his goal has been achieved, with Wang Minghong's words
, it will definitely be helpful for Li Yuanlang’s future career development.
Jiang Zhaojun took over and said: "Secretary Wang is right. If our party has more good leaders and leaders who are dedicated to the people, it will also improve the party's prestige among the people."
The big bosses of the Provincial Party Committee had all expressed their opinions. Shen Zheng couldn't stand it without saying some fair words, so he also echoed a few times. Seeing that it was late, Wang Minghong and others got on the bus without stopping and rushed to the next stop.
When Fan Zheng came to Li Yuanlang to report Jin Sheng's instructions, Li Yuanlang quickly called Jin Sheng back.
"Why are you just calling me back now? It's too late. I got news that Secretary Wang and others have arrived in Wuma County. It's a pity that you missed this opportunity to grow your face." Jin Sheng said with regret.
"Thank you to the county magistrate for your kind reminder. The road construction here is in a mess. It would be better if Secretary Wang had the intention to see it. He can't see that our work will continue. In more than ten days, the road construction project will be almost completed. By then
I also want the county magistrate to cut the ribbon in person and bring a perfect end to our road that the common people have built themselves." Li Yuanlang said sincerely.
Chapter completed!
