Here, I sincerely hope that all leaders can give us a comprehensive and detailed feedback after completing the investigation. In this way, the cadres at all levels in Shannan County will be able to see more clearly what shortcomings there are in the current poverty alleviation work and what problems need to be solved. Only by understanding these can we better carry out the next step of work and help the people of Shannan County get rid of poverty and become rich as soon as possible! "
After listening to Liu Yong's brief introduction to Shannan County, Lin Zheng, head of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department, smiled and took over the conversation, "Comrade Liu Yong is still very modest. As far as I know, Shannan County has now explored a new development path, such as eco-tourism and e-commerce industrial parks... I believe that in the near future, Shannan County will be able to rely on its own strength to lead the people of the county out of poverty and into prosperity."
The seemingly simple conversation between the two people was actually full of hidden meanings. Liu Yong first pointed out the fact that Shannan County is a national poverty-stricken county with low incomes. This gave the provincial party committee research team the first impression that Shannan County was indeed very poor, paving the way for the various poverty situations discovered during the subsequent research, making it easier for people to understand and accept.
Lin Zheng's remarks not only indirectly confirmed that Shannan County is a poor county, but also affirmed the work of the Shannan County Party Committee and government. It made people intuitively feel that the leading cadres of Shannan County did not degenerate and stop moving forward just because it is a national-level poverty-stricken county. Instead, they dared to explore and practice, and have achieved results.
This left a good impression of self-improvement on the provincial research team. If the research team found any problems during the visit, there would be room for maneuver and explanation.
Li Lan looked through the information about Shangshui Village casually. Facing Lin Zheng and Liu Yong's introduction, he said calmly, "We already knew about the situation in Shannan County before we came here."
"Shannan County is a national poverty-stricken county, but it has also received strong support from the central government. Last year alone, Shannan County received 1 billion yuan in poverty alleviation funds allocated by higher authorities."
"Combined with local taxes in Shannan County and financial support from all levels, fiscal revenue exceeded 2 billion last year."
Li Lan suddenly raised his eyes to look at Liu Yong, his eyes were cold, and he said word by word, "On the contrary, your Lin County is known as a county with high tax revenue, but its annual fiscal revenue is only 2 billion yuan. Is it that the county with high tax revenue falsely reported its production, or is it that Shannan County is crying poor and begging for mercy?"
After these words were spoken, the whole audience was silent.
Everyone looked at Liu Yong in confusion.
Liu Yong kept smiling awkwardly, thinking about how to refute.
Lin Zheng quickly stepped out to smooth things over. "Minister Li is absolutely right. Shannan County's fiscal revenue has increased, which just shows that the Shannan County government team has made remarkable achievements! Of course, half of this revenue comes from support from higher authorities. Comrades in Shannan County still need to continue to work hard."
"Hahaha, yes, yes, Minister Lin's analysis makes sense. Our Shannan County team has a long way to go and we need to continue working hard." Liu Yong quickly agreed.
"Fiscal revenue has increased, but why is the per capita disposable income still less than 5,000 yuan three years ago?" Li Lan continued to ask casually, but hit the nail on the head.
"This..." Liu Yong was speechless for a moment.
He quickly signaled to the Director of Finance and the Director of Statistics behind him for help.
The director of the Finance Bureau was quick-witted and immediately stepped forward to answer, "Minister Li, the 1 billion yuan will all be used to improve the county's infrastructure, such as the construction of cement roads in each village, wells for cultivated land, party and mass activity centers, etc..."
"Yes, because the money was not directly used for industrial support, the increase in people's disposable income is not very significant." Liu Yong said with a smile, and gave the Finance Bureau director an approving look. In comparison, the Statistics Bureau director next to him looked much dimmer.
Li Lan's mouth curled up into a faint smile. As a top student majoring in economics, he was not so easily fooled. "That's really high-sounding. Then let me ask you, do you need workers to build roads, dig wells, and build houses? Do you give priority to local workers? Since you are hiring workers, do you have to pay them wages? These workers have received wages but their income has not increased? Explain to me, why is this?"
"This..." The Finance Director's brain worked frantically and soon the CPU burned out.
Liu Yong looked at Lin Zheng for help with a wry smile.
Lin Zheng smiled and said calmly, "Minister Li, we will report this issue to you in detail later. What do you think? Should we visit households first or check the information?"
Faced with Lin Zheng's clever evasion, Li Lan did not delve into it.
Because even if they don't say it, they know it very well. Under normal circumstances, when the government invests in infrastructure, the people's income will definitely increase. The fundamental reason why it is not reflected is that once the people's income reaches a certain standard, the hat of the national poverty-stricken county will be taken off.
The interests involved are self-evident.
Li Lan flipped through the list of township cadres in his hand and paused for two seconds when he saw Li Lin's name.
She kept in mind the purpose of her visit, and under the guise of research, she quietly established contact with Li Lin. It was neither deliberate nor abrupt, and everything went smoothly.
She looked around the room but did not see Li Lin, and her brows furrowed slightly.
What she didn't know was that after the research team arrived, Li Lin was assigned by Lu Yu Ming to check the sanitation on the streets in the name of "checking for omissions and filling in the gaps."
Lu Yu Ming did this because he didn't want Li Lin, an unstable factor, to appear in the sight of the research team leaders, so as not to bring trouble to himself. For this purpose, he also specially arranged two people to secretly watch Li Lin.
Everyone looked at Li Lan silently, waiting for her instructions.
Li Lan's voice was not loud, but it exploded like a thunder among the crowd.
"Where's Li Lin, the village cadre? Go find him!"
The smile on Lu Yu Ming's face froze instantly.
Lin Zheng and Liu Yong also looked at each other in confusion.
Everyone looked at each other.
