Chapter 2466

But then again, the monthly salary of today’s officials is only a few thousand yuan. If food, housing, and transportation are not reimbursed from public funds, it will be very difficult to raise a child. If everyone has nothing to do, this official will

What else is there to do? Even if you want to reflect your personal value, you must first ensure your own survival, right?

There was an upright official named Hai Rui in history, and many people knew him. It is said that his family was so poor that he could not even afford to eat. Some of his colleagues once wanted to help him but were rejected by him. Later, his

My daughter actually starved to death. In my opinion, an official like this is actually a tragedy and is not advisable at all. A person's ability can only be imagined if he doesn't even have the ability to feed his family.

Our descendants often have a narrow vision when reading history. Most people only remember his "clearness" but ignore his "incompetence". In fact, Hai Rui in history was a confused official.

For example, in terms of crime-solving skills, Hai Rui is not as perceptive and knowledgeable as the legend says. Regarding those suspicious cases, he did not investigate them carefully, but "I would rather submit to my brother than to submit to my uncle; I would rather submit to my uncle than to submit to my brother".

His nephew: "Rather than submit to the poor, I would rather submit to the rich people; rather than submit to the stupid and straight, I would rather submit to the stubborn. The thing is to fight for property, rather than submit to the small people, I would rather submit to the local officials; the thing is to fight for appearance, rather than submit to the local officials, I would rather submit to the small people". From feudalism

From a moral point of view, it complies with the requirements of feudal etiquette. However, from the spirit of modern law, it is unfair no matter who is subjugated. The difference between Hai Rui and Bao Zheng, another image of an upright official in feudal society, is very obvious. One

It is "the lesser of two evils". One is to mobilize various criminal investigation methods to get to the bottom of the case. In terms of the seriousness of law enforcement, Hai Rui is far inferior to Bao Zheng, which is also related to the two people's principles of life.

Therefore, even in modern society, I still do not think that the "cleanness" of officials is the first priority. I think the "ability" of officials is more important, because capable officials can change the economic development of a place and allow more people to

People become rich. Of course, "qing" and "energy" are not completely opposite, it is best to unify the two.

In short, I understand Director Zou’s request very well. Any official who can land safely is a person’s blessing. There is no simple issue of right or wrong in this world. As a member of it, I

, it is normal to feel sympathy for him in my heart.

What’s more, after all, we have a good relationship, I can’t bear to see my old leader really have some problems one day, not to mention that last time the matter of Governor Wang’s secretary almost went to the old director, this time

It makes me even more reluctant to see anything happen to Director Zou. How big of a problem does the old director have? Isn’t it just a matter of Moutai?

Up to now, I have personally seen quite a few officials with problems. Every time I see something like that, I don’t know why, but I always feel sad.

Director Zou and I entered the private room together. I smiled and asked Secretary Wu, "How is it? Are the dishes ready?"

Secretary Wu smiled and said, "It's ready, but the wine hasn't been ordered yet."

I smiled and said to Director Zou: "Old leader, you can drink whatever you want."

Director Zou smiled and said: "There are too many fake wines now, so come to Jiangnanchun. The quality of our local wine is also good. Shangjiang City is very poor now, so we don't want to embarrass Mayor Feng."

I laughed, "Director Zou, you are right. No matter how poor we are in Shangjiang City, we can still afford Moutai and Wuliangye. In the past two years, the Provincial Department of Health and the Medical University have given us so much support that we can only afford a few bottles of Moutai."

, what is Wuliangye?”

Director Zou smiled and said, "I'm just kidding. You are a big mayor, so this is not a big deal. You'd better drink Jiangnan Tequ, this wine is delicious."

I immediately told the waiter, "Let's have Jiangnan special music, the best kind."

After the dinner started, I asked Director Zou to speak, and I said: "Director Zou, you are the leader of all of us here, so you should start the conversation today. You are also in charge of the Medical University, right, Secretary Wu?"

"

Secretary Wu smiled and said: "Mayor Feng is right."

Director Zou smiled and said: "Mayor Feng is your guest today, what should I say?"

I smiled and said, "It's the same for everyone, but today I can only say the first words because you are the boss and the leader of all of us here."

He then raised his glass and said: "Okay, let me tell you. Mayor Feng has already said it at the beginning. Today's theme is the gathering of old friends. I am the one who is about to retire. Thank you very much for these years.

Everyone here has given me strong support in my work, and I also cherish our friendship. Secretary Wu, you are an expert in health work, and you will do a better job than me in the future. Last time the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee came to see me

I also said this during the conversation.”

Secretary Wu smiled and said: "Director Zou, you have given me a reward."

Director Zou continued: "I won't say much else. Mayor Feng is treating me tonight, so I won't say much more. Let's raise a toast together. Cheers to friendship!"

Everyone raised their glasses and drank it all together. Then Director Zou sighed and said: "I will retire soon. From now on, I will start fishing, reading and taking care of my grandchildren. You are all still very young, so work harder."

Although he was smiling when he said this, I could completely feel the desolation in his tone. I couldn't help sighing in my heart: Everyone has this day... I don't think back when my father retired.

Is this also the case? This is a process that everyone will go through.

Secretary Wu immediately said: "Director Zou, that won't work. You just stepped down from the leadership position, but you still have to continue to be a consultant to the Provincial Department of Health. You can't just ignore everything. There are still many things to do in the future.

You came forward to coordinate and deal with it."

Director Zou smiled and said: "If I step down, I won't care about anything. However, if Secretary Wu needs me to run errands for anything in the future, I promise to be on call."

Secretary Wu hurriedly said: "Director Zou, you can't say that. You are an old leader, and I can't do my future work without your support. Come on, let me toast you, and ask for your advice and help in the future."

Judging from the situation just now, I have already felt two points: First, it should have been a foregone conclusion that Secretary Wu will take office in the Provincial Department of Health, otherwise he would not have spoken like this. Second, what Director Zou just said is more

He was testing Secretary Wu's attitude towards him in the future. Of course, the result would definitely satisfy him.

The two of them raised their glasses and drank together. Then Director Zou sighed and said, "Actually, I can think about it, everyone is like this. Human life is actually very simple, it just means 'birth, old age, sickness and death'."

I smiled and said: "I have heard a saying, which is a different interpretation of the four words 'birth, old age, sickness and death'. To live well, it is best to be born in a wealthy family; to grow old, to grow old slowly is the best.

When you are well, you will still look energetic when you are a hundred years old; when you are sick, you need to be cured by medicine without causing pain to the body; when you die, you need to die quickly, and you will not know anything before you feel it. Such a life is the most perfect.

of."

Everyone laughed. Director Zou raised his glass and said to me: "Mayor Feng, that's a good thing. I'd like to toast you."

After we both drank, I started to toast Director Zou one by one. Since today is my treat, this round of drinks must be finished.

After the lap of respect, Secretary Wu smiled and asked me: "Mayor Feng, what news is there recently that we can listen to?"

I smiled and said: "There is no news. Everyone knows what is going on in the province anyway. But recently I heard a story that I thought was quite inspiring. Let me tell you: Once upon a time there was a monk and a butcher.

My friend, the monk has to get up every morning to chant sutras, while the butcher has to get up every day to kill pigs. But they both like to sleep in and often oversleep. So in order not to delay the morning work, they agreed to wake each other up. Many years later, the monk and the butcher

They died one after another, the butcher went to heaven, and the monk went to hell. Do you know why?"

Secretary Wu thought for a while, "Why?"

I looked at everyone, "Do you know?"

They all shook their heads. Then I smiled and told the answer, "Because the butcher does good deeds every day and asks the monk to get up and chant sutras. On the contrary, the monk asks the butcher to get up and kill animals every day..."

Director Zou suddenly slapped his thigh, "Mayor Feng, your story is so unexpected. It makes sense. There are many things in this world that we think are right, but are not necessarily right. In fact, many things are

It's not what we imagined. Sometimes, sometimes we are misled by our own subjective thinking. Mayor Feng, is this what this story is about, right?"

I smiled and nodded: "Director Zou, you are right. But I still have more understanding of this story.

First, we do what we think is right every day, but we don’t know that it may be wrong; maybe the butcher doesn’t know that waking up the monk every morning means more life, and the monk may not know that he wakes up the monk every day.

Waking up the butcher will cause the butcher to slaughter more animals.

People are busy every day, either for their livelihood or their family, and they think they are upright, but little do they know that some things indirectly contribute to the occurrence of evil.

Secondly, a person’s moral character cannot only be judged from his own career, but also reflects how he affects others. No matter how well the monk reads scriptures or how many souls he has saved, when interacting with others, it indirectly prompts the butcher to kill.

, and the monk had no intention of dissuading him at all.

As the saying goes, the rich help the world, while the poor take care of themselves. Those who are truly rich take giving back to the world and nurturing society as their ultimate social responsibility.

Third, God doesn’t believe in tears, He values ​​results. Maybe the monk just didn’t realize that his actions indirectly contributed to the occurrence of sin, but he didn’t do it intentionally.

But in front of God, he does not believe that it is your fault. He only values ​​the results. The fact is that you contributed to the occurrence of sin, then, I’m sorry, you have to go to hell. The same is true for some things we do. We think we are

It was the right thing to do, but it ended up hurting other people.”

Director Zou patted the table lightly, "Mayor Feng said it well. Lao Wu, everyone, let's have a drink together. This philosophical thing can also be drunk."

Actually, I told this story to Secretary Wu. Director Zou seemed to understand it, but it’s hard to say whether Secretary Wu understood it or not.

Everyone was in a high mood in the evening and drank a lot of wine. After the meal was over, I paid the bill and asked the waiter to issue an invoice. I think such a meal should be reported. Sometimes, in situations like this, it is necessary to report the bill.

It will make them feel normal. If it is my own money, it will make others think that I am fake.

Of course, whether to reimburse or not is how I will deal with it later, but I also feel that such matters are mainly official matters. After all, we in Shangjiang City will have many things to trouble the Provincial Health Department and the Medical University in the future.

In fact, now I am used to paying bills, because I know very well that if I take such things too seriously, I will be regarded as a different kind by others. But to be honest, I have always been very careful about the consumption of public funds. Our city

Everyone in the government office knows that my annual personal expenses are the lowest among the leaders of the municipal government.

However, I have never asked other deputy mayors to be like me, and I have no control over their expenses. The current situation in Shangjiang City is quite special. The people below need to regularly contact the outside world about work matters. If there are restrictions

Due to the expense, many tasks simply cannot be carried out well. Our country is a humane society, and things like eating and drinking are inevitable.

Of course, I also believe that there are cases where public funds are used for private matters, but I believe they will not go too far, so I turn a blind eye to some things.

After dinner, we first saw off Director Zou, and then I went to see off Secretary Wu. At this time, I suddenly remembered something, "Secretary Wu, I want to invite you to tea, are you free?"

He said: "I have to go back early to rest. There will be a meeting at school tomorrow morning. You have to stand up for the last shift, right? Well, if you have anything to do, we can go and talk to the side."

I nodded and said with a smile: "That's okay. I just want to say a few words."

Secretary Wu asked everyone to leave first, and then the two of us stopped in an open space outside the restaurant. I said to him: "Secretary Wu, two things. The first thing is about Wang Xin. Alas! Recently he has been

You came to me, we are friends after all, and this person’s problem is not too big, and he is not the most incompetent among the cadres in the school. Do you think so?"

He laughed "haha", "I have thought about this matter later, but I am leaving the Medical University soon? I can't study cadre matters before leaving. Let me see it this way, what you will give me in the future

Will you please tell me about this?"

I shook my head and said: "Secretary Wu, my idea is that you transfer him to the Provincial Department of Health. Of course, it depends on whether there is a suitable position for him. After you leave the Medical University, I may have more contact with the leaders there in the future.

It will be much less. I have already taken out all the scientific research projects, and I am ready to resign as my master's degree supervisor, so that others will not say that I am trying to sell others."

He nodded, "You can take care of these things. But I am very touched by what you said. We will talk about Wang Xin later. I think that if the school continues to use him after I leave, it is better to stay in the school.

"

I smiled and said, "That's okay, but I hope you'd better say hello to the other leaders before leaving."

He immediately laughed, "Actually, your main idea is still this sentence. Right?"

I also laughed, "Okay, let's not talk about this matter anymore. Secretary Wu, let me tell you the second thing. Director Zou seems a little worried..."

He looked at me in surprise, "What's wrong with Director Zou?" (To be continued)
