Chapter 100: Go to the countryside

Views:

Donghe Town is the largest town in Zhou'an County. It has 36 administrative villages, a neighborhood committee, a population of more than 37,000, and an area of 40 square kilometers. However, more than half of the area under its jurisdiction is actually mountainous and there is not enough arable land. 20,000 mu, the town has 22 primary schools, three junior high schools, one vocational technical secondary school and one general high school.

Agriculture is dominated by wheat and corn. Rice can be grown in a few villages. The rice produced is very famous in the local area. It is the kind that cannot be bought with money. But it tastes far better than the rice sold in the northeast of the grain and oil store. It's even more incomparable. Of course, the key lies in the local soil and water. With the long sunshine time, the taste is naturally much better.

With more people and less land, the industrial foundation is weak, agriculture is just like that, the per capita annual income is less than 100 yuan, and this figure is still official statistics, and no one knows how much water there is. That’s it, it is necessary to maintain a huge government. Not to mention the operation of the organization, the town government alone has over 100 people, and the wages of all these people have to be borne by the town.

After Zhang Feng took office, he learned that the establishment of Donghe Town is a jerk. In a small town government, there are as many as nine deputy mayors, and six of them are members of the party committee. The organization is unimaginable. After reading the list of the division of labor, I almost got my nose crooked. Some deputy mayors just get welfare under the name, and the work in charge simply doesn't exist.

For example, such a deputy mayor, Li Yong, member of the party committee and deputy mayor, in charge of the labor and social security branch, environmental protection branch, sewage treatment plant, and contacted Shangdan Village. Once Zhang Feng implemented his division of labor, well, the so-called labor security The sub-bureau does not even have a brand. The environmental protection sub-bureau is still in preparation, but in fact it does not exist. The sewage treatment plant does not exist. The only thing that can be implemented is to contact Shangdan Village. The specific work is to contract with the deposit and try to get it from the farmers. Get the money out.

For this, Zhang Feng specifically called Tan Jinghan, the county magistrate, and planned to mention it on the county standing committee, but he failed.

In the past few days, Zhang Feng didn't worry about the personnel in the town. Finally, he figured out a strategy for him. He planned to have a meeting in the two days to discuss it. Today, I asked Zhongnan to have a drink tonight, so I didn't have any thoughts to communicate first.

Therefore, as soon as the propaganda committee member Qin Li spoke, he vaguely guessed what was going on, and said with a smile: "It's about withdrawing money again?" Because the town government hasn't functioned for a long time, and many people's salary They owed them for more than half a year, so the original Mayor Han sent all the cadres in the town to collect and withdraw funds, and carry out the lump-sum contract.

Before Zhang Feng took office, Mayor Han had just been transferred and became the party secretary of Beihe Township. However, Zhang Feng didn’t think about it these days, so he didn’t do anything about it, but it’s not that he didn’t understand this. thing.

He can also understand that Tan Li wants to avoid Zhong Nan's heart. After all, the mayor has always been responsible for the withdrawal of funds. Although Zhong Nan has only formally taken over as mayor for a few days, he has been deputy mayor for several months. Yes, I have never had any objections to the collection and withdrawal of the money, and the time I took office is still the same, so, subconsciously, Qin Li is not willing to talk about it in front of Zhong Nan.

Tan Li lowered her head and said, "Many people can't even receive rations after they have sold public rations at home. Where can the remaining money be paid for withholding?"

Zhang Feng nodded, did not speak, and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. He is from a rural background. Of course, he knows some collection channels for withdrawing money. Generally, when paying for publicly purchased food, directly from the sales of food. However, the area of arable land in Donghe Town is limited, and the per capita arable land is only about half a mu. Even if the increase in public purchase of grain is large, it is not enough for the withdrawal and retention of the rural two-level government.

What's more, there are various other taxes and fees, such as education fees, agricultural taxes, etc., so often farmers not only get a penny after selling public food, they have to pay various taxes and fees, and there is no other income. Only food for sale is left, but is half a mu of cultivated land per capita enough to eat

After a moment of silence, Zhang Feng just said, "Your home is Zhongdan Village, right?"

Qin Li was taken aback for a moment and said: "Well, Zhongdan Village has water and can grow rice. In the past few years, rice can be sold on the black market at a high price, so it is much better than just planting wheat and corn, although it is tighter. , The withdrawal of funds is almost paid."

Zhang Feng waved his hand and said, "Come with me to go to the countryside today, and come to your Zhongdan Village."

Although Qin Li could not understand Zhang Feng’s intention to go to the countryside with her, she was still a little excited. Regardless of Zhang Feng’s short term in office, her prestige in the town government is still good. Of course, it’s not his own. What kind of arrogance is determined by status and status. The county party committee standing committee member is a serious county party committee leader, and the mayor has to bow his head obediently in front of him.

Naturally, Zhang Feng will not only take Tan Li to the countryside. Some taboos must be paid attention to. When he set out, Xiao Wang, a winking clerk, was also taken by Zhang Feng, even though Xiao Wang was actually older than Zhang. Feng is much older, but he still consciously calls himself Xiao Wang, Zhang Feng is not polite, and just calls this clerk "Xiao Wang".

Unexpectedly, this Xiao Wang actually had a driver’s license and could drive. Zhang Feng threw the key to Xiao Wang and sat in the back row. On the contrary, Tan Li was a little winked and got into the co-pilot very consciously, from time to time along the way. Qin Li was engaged in propaganda activities in the villages he passed through and the general situation of these villages.

Five or six miles away, I arrived in a blink of an eye by car. From a distance, I saw a bunch of people at the village’s mouth. Zhang Feng’s sharp eyes immediately saw Liu Dapao, the secretary of the Zhongdan village branch, Liu Tianliang, the village director, and the town. Han Yanning, the deputy mayor who came down to squat down, didn't look at Zhang Feng for just over a week after taking office, and he hadn't stayed in the town for a few days, but most of the people recognized it.

He glanced at Xiao Wang and Tan Li, and said lightly: "Don't be smart in the future!"

Xiao Wang was stunned for a moment but didn't say a word, but Tan Li's face blushed slightly, and she said anxiously: "I just told my family, I didn't know it would disturb so many people."

Zhang Feng just wanted to open the car door, but Liu Tianliang, the village director of Zhongdan Village, had already opened the car door from the outside, and said with a waist, "Hello, Secretary Zhang, you are welcome to come to Zhongdan Village for inspection!"

Liu Tianliang looks very capable in his thirties. This man is also a top figure in Zhongdan Village. Although he is not very old, he has a wide range of knowledge. He worked as a car soldier in Tibet for three years. After being demobilized, he did it himself. A handcart ran for transportation, and later it was replaced with a Harvest 35 tractor. He is one of the best in Zhongdan Village.

Zhang Feng jumped out of the car and shook hands with Deputy Mayor Han Yanning, Party Secretary Liu Dapao, and Liu Tianliang with a smile on his face, and said, "Whatever inspections are not inspections, it is all nonsense, and there is no need to rectify those good-sounding things. Today, I have something to ask Liu. The party secretary and Director Liu help."
