Faced with Song Tianhua's question and the gazes of so many Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee members, Liu Haotian smiled slightly: "Secretary Song, my governing philosophy is actually very simple, that is, eight words - put the people first and never forget the original intention.
.
Of course, in order to reflect this guiding philosophy of mine, the first thing I will do next is to focus on the issues of rural areas and farmers.
the reason is simple:
If China wants to be strong, agriculture must be strong; if China wants to be beautiful, the countryside must be beautiful; if China wants to be rich, farmers must be rich.
If the agricultural foundation is solid, the countryside is harmonious and stable, and farmers live and work in peace and contentment, the overall situation will be guaranteed and all work will be more proactive.
We must not neglect agriculture at any time, forget about farmers, and end the countryside. We must always adhere to the policy of strengthening agriculture, benefiting farmers, and enriching farmers, and promote a comprehensive well-off society in rural areas without slackening. We must always maintain good awareness, attention, and investment.
momentum!"
Having said this, Liu Haotian glanced at the crowd at the scene: "I believe that we must insist on solving the problems of rural areas and farmers as the top priority of our city's work, unswervingly deepen rural reforms, and unswervingly accelerate rural development.
, and unswervingly maintain rural harmony and stability."
After Liu Haotian finished speaking, Executive Deputy Mayor Wang Chenghu frowned slightly: "Mayor Liu, I don't agree with your work focus.
Of course, you can shout such slogans, you can say that you value rural work, but we all know that we can shout slogans, but to really make our Nansong City stronger, we must rely on industry.
Only when industry develops can our Nansong City generate more tax revenue.
Therefore, I think we might as well shout the slogan louder, but when it comes to actually doing things, I hope that our municipal party committee and city government will still strengthen the work of attracting investment, especially strengthening industrial development."
Speaking of this, Wang Chenghu said with a smile: "I know that some of our comrades like to shout slogans, so I will simply make my words more straightforward. I hope Mayor Liu will never mistake our true core goal."
After Wang Chenghu finished speaking, Chen Jinwen secretly thought it was terrible.
Chen Jinwen knows Liu Haotian very well. This man is different from other people.
If you change another mayor, for example, the previous mayor, although he came back every Spring Festival, he would emphasize at the first meeting that the work of rural areas and farmers is the top priority of Nansong City, and the work of rural areas and farmers must be done well.
, however, each time it is just a meeting to emphasize the importance of the work on agriculture, rural areas and farmers.
At the next meeting, the work on agriculture, rural areas and farmers was immediately forgotten, and the main focus was on how to achieve political results.
This is because the work on rural areas and farmers is the most difficult to produce results, and even if the results are achieved, the results will not be visible. However, the industry and economy are different. As long as you can introduce a few influential companies, the results will be obvious.
However, Chen Jinwen knew Liu Haotian well. During the three months in the party school, Chen Jinwen had already seen Liu Haotian's temperament. He was definitely a person who would practice what he preached.
Chen Jinwen's guess was correct. After Wang Chenghu finished speaking, Liu Haotian suddenly slammed the table: "Comrade Wang Chenghu, I really didn't expect that as an executive deputy mayor, you would say such a thing. It's really embarrassing."
I'm disappointed.
I can tell you clearly that the work on agriculture, rural areas and farmers is the top priority of our work in Nansong City, and this is definitely not a lie.
I don’t know if you, as the executive deputy mayor, have personally visited the countryside, or if you have gone to the countryside to really take a look and understand it.
I think you must not understand the situation, so you would say such ridiculous words.
I know that in many places, there are many leaders who keep saying that they attach importance to the work of rural areas and farmers. In fact, rural agriculture ranks the lowest in the minds of these leaders. They only pay lip service to the work of rural areas and farmers.
Let me tell you clearly that as long as I am still the mayor of Nansong City, the most important task of Nansong City in the future is not to attract investment, let alone industrial development, but to work on agriculture, rural areas and farmers.
Moreover, in the future, for the promotion and appointment of county magistrates in various counties, the first thing I want to evaluate is how well the county is doing in rural areas and farmers. If the county is not doing well in rural areas, no matter how good it is, if he wants to get
If you want to be promoted, I will vote no directly!"
After Liu Haotian finished speaking, Song Tianhua next to him had a look of shock on his face. As a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, he knew the importance of Liu Haotian, the mayor. Even if he, the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, was conducting county-level affairs,
When making personnel arrangements, if Liu Haotian firmly objects, he will not be able to force the relevant personnel appointments.
Especially for the position of county magistrate, Liu Haotian still has a lot of say.
Although Song Tianhua also knew the importance of rural work, he did not elevate the importance of this work to a high enough level.
Now after hearing Liu Haotian's statement, he suddenly realized that perhaps the focus of Nansong City's work would shift in the future.
Chen Jinwen frowned and said: "Mayor Liu, I think Comrade Wang Chenghu's words are rough and unreasonable. His views actually represent the aspirations of many grassroots comrades.
As the mayor, you can make a high-profile statement, but as the person doing the actual work below, you must still focus on industries and development that can create more jobs.
As for rural agriculture and farmers, haven’t they been evolving themselves for thousands of years? Why do we need to pay too much attention to their development?
Of course, this does not mean that we do not pay attention to it. We have already formulated relevant city policies based on national policies. As long as the people below firmly implement these policies, there is no such thing as whether we pay attention to it or not.
I believe Mayor Liu should also be aware that the work on agriculture, rural areas and farmers is complicated, and many times you want to take action but can’t find the starting point.
I’m not saying that we don’t pay attention to the work of rural areas and farmers. On the contrary, our annual No. 1 document in Nansong City is about the work of rural areas and farmers. Therefore, we attach great importance to the work of rural areas and farmers. But I hope Secretary Liu will also pay attention to it.
While working on agriculture, rural areas and farmers, don’t neglect other tasks.”
Chen Jinwen is more sophisticated and very logical when speaking, leaving Liu Haotian without any clues.
But he also showed what he meant.
Liu Haotian said coldly: "Comrade Chen Jinwen, I understand what you mean. Although your logic is strict, the meaning is very clear. It is difficult to achieve results in the work of rural areas and farmers. Isn't that what you mean?
It can be said that focusing on industry and economy will get twice the result with half the effort.
Focusing on rural areas and agriculture will achieve twice the result with half the effort.
However, I still say that the first task I will focus on after taking office is the work on agriculture, rural areas and farmers.
Maybe you don’t understand why I attach so much importance to rural areas and farmers?”
When Liu Haotian said this, everyone's eyes fell on his face.
Liu Haotian said in a deep voice: "Comrades, I suggest that you don't bring so many followers and don't go to the countryside to investigate with such great fanfare. If you really want to investigate the situation in the countryside, it is best to conduct private visits incognito. You go deep into the countryside.
Get to know the real situation in rural areas.
Comrades, to tell you the truth, before I officially took office in Nansong City this time, I spent more than three days going deep into many towns and villages in Nansong City, staying in hotels in the town at night. I understand
Got a lot of first-hand information.
I can tell you clearly that farmers today are suffering too much!
Don't think that because our city has introduced many policies to benefit farmers, it means it attaches great importance to agriculture, rural areas and farmers. This is completely your wishful thinking.
do you know?
I went to a total of 16 villages. According to my statistics, any village with a population of more than 1,000 people will have more than 10 bachelors over 30 years old in each village!
The imbalance between men and women in rural areas is very serious.
Why are the betrothal gifts in rural areas so expensive now? The reason is that the ratio of men to women in rural areas is imbalanced! The reason is that with the rapid development of B-ultrasound technology, men and women can be identified during fetal period.
This is not the most important thing. The real core problem of rural problems is that farmers engaged in agricultural production do not make money at all.
There are only two ways for farmers to make money, either to go out to work or to work as migrant workers with construction teams.
For those real farmers who stay in the countryside, if they have no other industry but farming, their life will be very hard, and the hardship is beyond your imagination!
Don't forget that the price of food seems to have increased a bit now, but compared to the increase in the price of chemical fertilizers, seeds and pesticides, the increase in food prices is very small.
Although our country has long stopped collecting agricultural taxes, fertilizer companies, seed companies, and pesticide companies are still eroding farmers' interests through various means.
And our regulatory authorities have done nothing!
Of course, you can say it is due to the market economy, but the final result is that farmers do not make money.
Why are more and more farmers starting to plant poplar trees on their own land?
This is all forced and helpless!
You really don’t understand the suffering of farmers!
You officials know your political achievements all day long, but do you know how miserable the lives of rural people are compared to the lives of people in the city?"
When Liu Haotian said this, his tone was a little low and he felt a little disappointed.
At this moment, Liu Haotian seemed to be no longer as energetic as before, but more sad and heartbroken.
He felt that the burden on his shoulders was so heavy that she could hardly breathe.
After Liu Haotian finished speaking, Song Tianhua's eyes finally changed. He looked at Liu Haotian: "Is what you said true?"
Liu Haotian glanced at Song Tianhua with some disappointment: "Secretary Song, do you know that there are 600 million people in the country whose per capita monthly income is less than 1,000 yuan?
So where are these 600 million people distributed?
Let me tell you, almost most people with incomes below 1,000 yuan are in rural areas!
Do you know what this means?
Do you know the prices in rural areas?
Don’t think that prices in rural areas are low, that’s not necessarily true!
Moreover, counterfeit goods are rampant in rural areas, and farmers suffer greatly but have no way to defend their rights.
Let’s put it this way, there are too many things that harm the interests of farmers. It’s not that farmers don’t want to resist, but they are unable to resist!
But what do you think will happen if this phenomenon continues for a long time? Do you know?"
When Liu Haotian said this, his tone became a little serious.
