When Yang Zhengxiong heard what Li Tianyi said, he nodded slightly. Then he said: "Secretary Li, I don't quite understand. The former Wu Zhengfu was considered a young and promising cadre in our Jiangnan Province. Why did he become so successful in such a short period of time?
In three months, such huge changes have taken place? And the Taozhou Ladder project, which is such an obvious political achievement project, why does he operate it openly?"
Li Tianyi smiled slightly and said, "The easiest way to find out about this matter is to go to the scene and have a look in person."
Speaking of this, Li Tianyi suddenly asked: "How far has the Taozhou Tiandai project progressed? When did you start planning the layout?"
Yang Zhengxiong recalled briefly and said: "As far as I know, this project started five months ago. At that time, there were large-scale rumors in our Jiangnan Province that Cheng Guodong, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, was leaving Jiangnan Province and his destination was unknown.
.
Up to now, this project has basically been completed, but many follow-up tasks, especially investment promotion and tourism promotion, are in full swing. The specific person in charge is Wu Zhengfu."
Li Tianyi nodded slightly and asked Yang Zhengxiong to call Zhang Tao over.
"Zhang Tao, get ready. After get off work this afternoon, accompany me to Taozhou City. Let's go and see the Taozhou Ladder Project together."
Zhang Tao nodded quickly and said, "Okay, I'll get ready right now."
In the evening of that day, a private car slowly drove out of Wuzhou City, speeding all the way under the cover of darkness, heading towards Taozhou City.
At about 9 o'clock in the evening, the car drove into Taozhou City and stopped in front of the express hotel closest to Yinfeng Temple in Taozhou City. Li Tianyi took Zhuge Tong and Zhang Tao out of the car and checked in at the hotel front desk.
, put down their luggage, the three of them walked out of the express hotel, found a small restaurant near the hotel, and chatted while eating local specialties.
When the waiter was serving food to the three of them, Li Tianyi asked with a smile: "Brother, we want to go to Yinfeng Temple tomorrow. How should we go? Should we take the ancient road in front of the mountain or the new one?
Where is the completed Taozhou Ladder?"
When the waiter heard Li Tianyi ask this question, he smiled and said, "Are you from outside the country?"
All three of them nodded.
The waiter said: "If you want to see the scenery of Yinfeng Temple, then I suggest you take the ancient road in front, because this ancient road has a long history, beautiful scenery on both sides of the ancient road, and gurgling streams. It is definitely worth a visit.
If you want to be promoted in the official career or want to be promoted step by step in the business, then you can take the Taozhou Ladder. It is said that this Ladder is a Qingyun Ladder planned by our leaders who invited eight Feng Shui masters to work together.
The implication is that anyone who walks up this ladder will surely rise to the top in the future, and his official career will rise step by step."
Li Tianyi asked with some confusion: "Brother, I'm very confused. If the ancient road in front is beautiful as you said, there seems to be no need to build the Qingyun Staircase in the back."
The waiter said: "Who says otherwise? Although the feng shui of the trail behind is very good, the scenery is really not that good. Of course, our leaders are also very far-sighted. In order to make up for the scenery gap of Qingyun Staircase, the leaders spent a lot of money.
A lot of money was spent to build a lot of reliefs on both sides of the Qingyun Staircase, which have great meanings and make up for the lack of scenery."
Li Tianyi's eyes widened and he said, "If we just build a Qingyun Ladder, it shouldn't cost much, right?"
The waiter said: "It would not cost much to build this Qingyun Staircase, but the relief is different. The money spent on the relief is much more than that on the Qingyun Staircase.
I have heard that the construction of this Qingyun Staircase cost more than 60 million yuan. These officials really dare to spend money."
Li Tianyi said: "I heard that the person in charge of this project is your Mayor Wu Zhengfu of Taozhou City, right? Isn't he a very good official?"
The waiter curled his lips disdainfully and said: "The world is as black as crows, what else is good? In the past, this Wu Zhengfu did a lot of good things for our Taozhou City, but this Qingyun Ladder, our Taozhou City
Many people have opinions. This is definitely a project that wastes people and money.
However, it is not without its merits. It is said that on every first or fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, there is an endless stream of officials and businessmen who go to the mountain to offer incense. In sharp contrast, the scenic road ahead is empty.
Although this Qingyun Ladder has not brought any benefits to the people of Taozhou City, it has made the incense of Yinfeng Temple more vigorous. It is said that Yinfeng is an old abbot, Master Kongwen, and a good friend of our mayor Wu Zhengfu
, they often drink tea and chat together. I heard from them two days ago that Mayor Wu just inscribed a new plaque for Yinfeng Temple some time ago and hung it on the mountain gate. There are also rumors that in Wu Zhengfu City
In the chief's office, there hangs a calligraphy work inscribed by Master Kong Wen, which is said to have the words "Tiandao rewards those who work hard."
This waiter was also quite chatty, and Li Tianyi listened with great interest.
At this time, the proprietress who had been sitting at the cashier saw the waiter and Li Tianyi chatting there. Especially after hearing the content of their chat, the proprietress frowned, coughed and said: "Xiao Zhang
, hurry up and give the other dishes on the table."
The waiter smiled helplessly at Li Tianyi and the others, turned and left.
Li Tianyi and the others continued to chat, but their voices were much lower.
Zhang Tao said: "Secretary Li, if what this waiter said is true, then this Taozhou Ladder project is really a political achievement project. The most important thing is that this project also contains certain official beliefs.
The missing problem is the scariest thing.
A great leader once said that facts have repeatedly proved that the wavering of ideals and beliefs is the most dangerous wavering, and the landslide of ideals and beliefs is the most dangerous landslide.
Among our cadres, there are indeed some cadres who lack faith and even have spiritual emptiness. They believe that communism is a illusory fantasy, and they do not care about the people or ghosts. They are keen on fortune telling, praying to gods and Buddhas, and even superstitious in Qigong.
Grandmaster.
Although these things do not seem to be directly related to politics and administration, in fact, they fully demonstrate that some officials no longer have faith in their hearts. This is the most terrifying thing. Without faith among party members, the party will have no cohesion, appeal and combat effectiveness.
, the party loses its most essential attributes.
Without faith in the hearts of cadres, governance, reform and development will lose direction, and they will lose their confidence and confidence.
Therefore, I believe that our Discipline Inspection Commission must not only strengthen disciplinary inspection and supervision of cadres at all levels at the economic level, but also strengthen related supervision work in their spiritual field, especially in the field of belief. For those party members and cadres who do not ask about the people and ghosts, they must
They must be severely punished and even kicked out of the cadre ranks directly."
When Li Tianyi heard what Zhang Tao said, he looked at Zhang Tao with appreciation, nodded and said: "You are right, ideals and beliefs are the spiritual calcium of us Communists. Without ideals and beliefs, or if ideals and beliefs are not firm,
Then you will be mentally deficient in calcium, and you will get rickets. If your thoughts are loose an inch, your actions will be loose. I think so, let’s go to the Qingyun Ladder in Taozhou City to have a look. Tomorrow is not the first day of the new year.
Well, there should be a lot of people going to offer incense. I think I won’t rest tonight and go directly to the entrance of Yinfeng Temple to stay for a while. I want to see how many party members and cadres will come to offer incense and worship Buddha.
"
Zhang Tao and Zhuge Tong all nodded. After eating and drinking, the three of them returned to the hotel, packed their luggage, and went directly to the Qingyun Staircase overnight.
Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, I saw neon lights flashing on both sides of the Qingyun Ladder. A golden avenue extending continuously upward from the foot of the mountain to Yinfeng Temple on the top of the mountain. Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, the entire
The neon lights of Ginhoji Temple are also shining, and the outline of the temple is vaguely visible.
The three people walked slowly up the Qingyun Ladder, sat down at a corner 50 meters away from the temple, and began to wait for a long time.
After waiting for a while, Li Tianyi's eyes suddenly lit up and he said to Zhuge Tong and Zhang Tao: "Can you wait for me here for a while, I will go to the temple to take a look, maybe I can get unexpected results."
After saying that, Li Tianyi stood up and walked up.
At this moment, the gate of Yinfeng Temple was closed tightly, and there was silence inside.
Li Tianyi stepped forward and knocked gently on the temple door.
Li Tianyi knocked more than ten times in succession, and then he heard a rustling sound coming from inside. After a while, the temple door slowly opened a crack, and a young monk raised his head and looked at Li Tianyi, his eyes bleary.
He said: "Donor, what's the matter with you?"
Li Tianyi said: "I want to burn the first incense today, is that okay?"
The young monk shook his head gently and said: "Don't you know, on the first and fifteenth day of each month, the first incense in our temple is never open to the public. If you want to burn the first incense, you can wait for other times.
.”
After saying that, the little monk was about to close the door. Li Tianyi held the door with his hand and asked: "Can I know why? Why are the first incense sticks on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month not open to the public?"
The young monk smiled slightly: "I'm sorry, donor, I really have nothing to say. Please don't embarrass me."
Li Tianyi nodded slightly, turned around and walked out. He returned to Zhuge Tong and Zhang Tao again.
At about four o'clock in the morning, the first person who came to offer incense came to them.
Zhuge Tong held a high-definition camera directly connected to the big data network and took a close-up of the person offering incense. Soon, the person's name, work unit and contact number appeared on Li Tianyi's mobile phone.
Looking at the other party's name and position that appeared on the phone, Li Tianyi's face darkened immediately.
Li Tianyi never expected that the first person to come would be Jiang Wenjie, Secretary-General of the Taozhou City Government.
Jiang Wenjie did not recognize Li Tianyi and the three of them. When he saw Zhuge Tong actually taking pictures of him, his face darkened and he said angrily: "Who are you and why are you stuck here taking pictures of me?"
, bring me your phone immediately and delete the photos."
