Returning to the county government office, a reimbursement form has been placed on the desk of the county magistrate. This is the list of expenses of the provincial inspection team for the past two days. Looking at the total number of 102,800 yuan in the column
Zhou Wen felt that the words were particularly dazzling. He couldn't help but think of the sad eyes of the parents of the students who died...
com
One hundred thousand yuan, that's the price of a fresh little life.
Originally, these trivial matters did not require the county magistrate to personally intervene, but Zhou Wen was different from others. He tightly grasped the financial and personnel rights in his hands, and even a penny of expenditures had to be made known to him. Nantai County's finances were tight.
, I can no longer spend money lavishly.
Everything is listed clearly from the beginning on the reimbursement form. It is clear at a glance that the 48-hour accommodation cost for the 20 standard rooms, five superior suites, and two presidential suites at the Jinfan Hotel is 25,000 yuan, and this is after discounts.
The prices, two lunches and one dinner, the drinks and dishes were all the best, and I drank no less than two pieces of Wuliangye. There were also the so-called "local specialties" given as parting gifts, all of which were famous cigarettes and wine brands of great value.
Leather goods, this does not include the subsidies for the staff of various units in the county. Take the county traffic police team as an example, all the personnel are on the road, and the overtime pay alone is tens of thousands.
Therefore, one hundred thousand yuan is really not much. In order to let the guests of Xuanwu Group experience the sincerity of the people of Nantai County, this money is well spent!
After signing his name on the reimbursement form, Zhou Wen called Secretary Xu of the county party committee and convened a meeting of the Standing Committee to discuss how to deal with the incident of the Zhuwangzhuang Township school collapse that resulted in deaths.
In the small conference room of the county committee, the standing committee members frowned and said nothing, waiting for Zhou Wen to speak. Seeing that everyone was unwilling to speak, Zhou Wen smiled and said: "What I mean is that the county finance will provide money to the families of each student who died.
The pension of 100,000 yuan and other aspects should be taken care of as much as possible."
The Standing Committee members whispered to each other for a while, and Secretary Wang of the County Political and Legal Committee said: "Once this is started, it will be difficult to do the future work."
Everyone nodded. The county has always adopted a strong-arm policy towards this kind of qun ti incidents. If this precedent of paying money to eliminate disasters is set, there will be more cases of paying money in the future.
Deputy County Magistrate Zhu looked at Secretary Xu's face. Old Xu was still as steady as an old monk in trance, with no expression on his face.
"Secretary Wang and I have the same view. We must not tolerate these unruly people. They carry coffins and block the government gates, causing government agencies to be unable to operate normally. This has violated the law! If it is not severely punished, where is the prestige of the government?
What is the deterrence of the public security bureau and the law? I suggest that the public security department intervene and arrest a few people who are leading the trouble to serve as a warning to others!"
Zhou Wen knew that Deputy County Magistrate Zhu had always been at odds with him, so he asked tit for tat: "The central government has repeatedly issued orders that when handling police cases, we must resolutely prevent conflicts from intensifying due to improper use of police and improper handling. The people feel aggrieved when their children die.
I just want to ask for an explanation, and this incident has been successfully resolved. What we are discussing now is only the aftermath, not settling scores, continuing to intensify conflicts and create antagonism."
Deputy County Magistrate Zhu sneered: "Peace bought with money is not real peace. Appeasement is unacceptable. At that time, Britain and France adopted a policy of appeasement, appeasing and condoning the German Nazis, which led to huge consequences."
Zhou Wen smiled disdainfully and replied: "It seems that Deputy County Magistrate Zhu is also well-read and familiar with history. I think you must know the origin of the word appeasement. This word comes from "Three Kingdoms? Wu Zhi? Lu Xun's Biography": "
"The king's majesty shows his virtue, his achievements are cultivated, he respects the king's orders, and he appeases all directions." It means "to appease and pacify". How can the relationship between the government and the people be compared with the relationship between countries? Since ancient times, people have been unruly.
The cruel officials are twin brothers. How the government treats the people will be treated by the people. I think Deputy County Magistrate Zhu must understand this dialectical relationship."
The two of them were at each other's throats, and Deputy County Magistrate Zhu was not fazed at all. He was a municipal cadre, and even the county magistrate could not do anything to him as long as he was not caught with pigtails.
Secretary Xu stopped the debate with a dry cough. He was a veteran of three dynasties in the county and had high prestige. When he saw that he was about to speak, the conference room immediately became silent.
"Everyone's opinions are not very unified. I think it's better to vote by a show of hands. I personally don't agree with Comrade Zhou Wen's opinion." Secretary Xu said slowly.
Deputy County Magistrate Zhu's eyes lit up and he secretly said that Secretary Xu really understands justice and is unambiguous on issues of right and wrong.
Unexpectedly, Secretary Xu went on to say: "One hundred thousand yuan in pension is too little. It is not easy for ordinary people to raise a child. I suggest adding another fifty thousand yuan. In addition, let the family planning department set a fertility target for them, so that they don't have children.
Well."
After speaking, he raised his hand, glanced around the conference room, and said, "If you agree, please raise your hand."
Except for Deputy County Magistrate Zhu, all members of the Standing Committee raised their hands. When Zhou Wen raised his hands, he gave Secretary Xu a grateful glance.
Deputy County Magistrate Zhu hesitated for a second, then raised his hand and said, "I respect the collective decision, but I reserve my personal opinion."
At the end of the meeting, the Standing Committee members dispersed, leaving only the secretary and the county magistrate in the conference room. Secretary Xu said earnestly: "Xiao Zhou, you handled the situation very well today. If all the cadres can see the problem like you do, our south
Tai County is not like this."
Zhou Wen said movedly: "Old Secretary, thank you for your support."
Secretary Xu waved his hand: "Don't thank me. This old bone of mine is of little use. Just go ahead and do it. I'll help you stay in charge. The industrial park is a top priority and all issues must be dealt with."
It gives way, just like this school collapse incident. If it is not handled properly, it will directly affect the land acquisition process. If it gets to that point, it is not a problem that can be solved by spending hundreds of thousands."
"Old Secretary, you still have a long-term view." Zhou Wen said sincerely.
"Okay, stop flattering me, go to the city for a meeting tomorrow, and help me bring good news to Secretary Qin and Mayor Hu." Secretary Xu said with a smile.
…
The next day, Zhou Wen got into his Santana and headed to the city for a meeting. In the past, it took at least two and a half hours to drive from Nantai County to Jiangbei City. There were many toll stations, many traffic police, and many road maintenance sections, which were the three major reasons that affected the speed.
, now more than half of the toll stations have been abolished in order to attract investment. The county has issued a civil order prohibiting the traffic police department from imposing fines for the sake of fines. As for this road that cannot always be repaired, it was completed immediately after the transportation director was arrested, and it has not been completed yet.
Repaired again.
During a meeting in the city hall, Zhou Wen saw a familiar face. After searching in his mind, he remembered that this person was Nie Wanlong, the former president of Dakai Development. Now that Dakai Development has been merged by Xuanwu Group, Nie Wanlong has also become
General manager of Xuanwu Group Jiangbei Development Company.
After the meeting, Zhou Wen returned to his home in Binhe Community. As soon as he entered the door, he found someone sitting on the sofa. It was his brother-in-law Liu Xiaozheng.
Seeing his brother-in-law coming back, Liu Xiaozheng quickly put out his cigarette butts, stood up and greeted him politely: "Brother-in-law, I'm back."
"Well, take a seat." Zhou Wen greeted him coldly. This brother-in-law is not a fuel-efficient person. He once opened a company and was a boss. Later, he lost his family fortune due to excessive gambling. He is almost thirty years old, and he is still talking to
My parents live together, so if he comes to visit, it's bound to be up to no good.
Sure enough, my brother-in-law said straight to the point: "Brother-in-law, I heard that your county is going to build a development zone. I happen to have a buddy who works in construction. Can he help with some projects?"
Zhou Wen asked coldly: "Is it your brother or do you want to do it?"
"Hehe, that's not the same thing. Don't worry, brother-in-law, the benefits will definitely come to you." Liu Xiaozheng rubbed his hands and said with a smile.
"Then take part in the bidding and don't always think about going through the back door."
"Brother-in-law, all you need to do is approve a note when the time comes..." Liu Xiaozheng still had a playful smile on his face.
Just as he was talking, the doorbell rang, and Liu Xiaozheng hurried to open the door. Zhou Wen's father-in-law and mother-in-law came, carrying chickens, ducks, fish and crabs, and two bottles of good wine.
It turned out that when they heard that their son-in-law was coming home, the old couple came over specially with their useless son, hoping to take advantage of the reunion dinner to ask the son-in-law to give Liu Xiaozheng a hand.
After a while, Liu Xiaojing also came back with her child. The mother and daughter were frying in the kitchen, and some peanuts were placed in the dining room. They drank cold cucumber peeling and the like first, while the old father-in-law talked loudly, and the brother-in-law patted him.
Xu, his son was playing and playing nearby. It was supposed to be a happy and peaceful moment, but Zhou Wen felt confused and wanted to find a way to escape.
"Zhou Wen, please pay more attention to your brother's affairs. If you can help him as long as it doesn't violate the principles, Xiaozheng is very motivated. If you give him a chance, he will never give it to your brother-in-law.
It’s embarrassing.” My father-in-law took a sip of white wine and said seriously.
Liu Xiaozheng raised his glass and said, "Brother-in-law, I'd like to toast you. My future depends entirely on you."
Zhou Wen had no choice but to raise his glass and reluctantly touched it with his brother-in-law. He took a shallow sip and changed the topic: "Dad, what did you just say about your factory recently?"
"Oh, that's what happened. The factory received an order from abroad to produce a batch of special vehicles. I took a look and saw, okay, what kind of special vehicle is this? It's clearly an armored vehicle. But I read some reference news recently.
I haven’t found any large-scale war breaking out anywhere in the world.”
Zhou Wen's heart moved and he blurted out: "Producing armored vehicles for foreign countries, it seems that Chenguang Factory's business is very prosperous."
Father-in-law took a bite of the food and ate it, and praised: "Isn't that right? Lu Tianming is quite capable. Not long after he took office, he received a large number of orders and revitalized a factory that was on the verge of bankruptcy."
"If the Chenguang Factory is revived, the existing factory area and equipment may become a bottleneck hindering development. I wonder if Director Lu and others are interested in relocating." A blueprint emerged in Zhou Wen's mind, and the Chenguang Factory also
Moved to Nantai County Industrial Park, with tall factory buildings, neat park, and a prosperous scene.
"The dishes are here." Liu Xiaojing and her mother-in-law came over with steaming plates. The table was full of dishes. The whole family sat down to eat together. They must have heard the conversation in the kitchen. Her mother-in-law
He said: "Zhou Wen, this kid Xiaozheng is not a businessman. Otherwise, let him go to work in your county and find any agency. With you as my brother-in-law watching over him, we, the old couple, can rest assured. Xiaozheng
Zheng has been going crazy the past two years, so he needs to find someone to take care of him."
"Oh, I got it, Mom, eat the vegetables." Zhou Wen replied dully, chewing the vegetables in his mouth, but he couldn't taste whether it was salty or spicy.
