The open selection of cadres in this era was like a young lady getting married for the first time. There were no review materials, no off-campus training, no guidance from famous teachers, and no insights and lessons from predecessors.
Sun Zongyuan sometimes thought about writing a book about training and learning, and adding an administrative ability test. Maybe he could sell it for a lot of money!
After thinking about it again, I decided to forget it. Nowadays, the college entrance examination admission rate is only one or two percent. Some high schools only admit a few technical secondary school students a year. No matter whether they have a bachelor's degree, associate degree or technical secondary school diploma, the state will guarantee them a job, and they are truly state cadres.
After graduation, you become a cadre. Who will read your book? Who would buy it?
However, the cadre selection in Honghua Township took place under specific conditions:
The total economic volume is too large for ordinary cadres to manage; too many promotions will cause a gap in talent at the lower level; another problem is the talent ladder breakdown, with no qualified people to be promoted to the next level. This will be extremely detrimental to the development of Honghua Township in the long run.
Ji Zhong, from one of the most remote townships in Ganshan County, was a top student majoring in animal husbandry at the regional agricultural school. However, when it came time for his graduation assignment, his family had no connections and he returned to his hometown. The only difference was that after three years at the agricultural school, he was once a farmer, but now he was a cadre. Although he was a cadre, he held no rank, nor was he a soldier. The villagers raised a few goats and oxen on their own initiative. Normally, there were no assignments from above, and no one to look after him. So why would they ask him to do anything? Besides him, the entire animal husbandry station had two children from families with connections working as temporary workers, with no technical skills. They were not even provided with any equipment or medicine. Were they just there to watch?
Ji Zhong went to the leaders many times to ask for equipment, medicine, and funds, but they just said one thing:
"Let's keep the money for salary payments instead of doing unnecessary things!"
He happened to see the recruitment notice for Honghua Township in the newspaper. He thought that he basically met the requirements. He had obtained his college diploma through self-study exams the previous year. He also knew from reading in the newspaper that Honghua Township was developing very well and the salary was higher than that in the county. After all, he was single, so why not give it a try? If he passed, maybe his life would be different.
With a try-it attitude, he spent a few days going over the professional books carefully again, and when he entered the examination room, he got first place.
Many people were not optimistic about him in this interview, because everyone thought: Even if it is reserved for people with connections, you may not be admitted even if you are the first place?
In that era, the rules in all aspects were not very clear and transparent, so using connections to get things done was a normal part of life.
When he was the third one to walk into the interview room, he couldn't help feeling nervous and his heart was beating fast. He took two deep breaths, calmed down a little, stood up straight, and bowed deeply to the examiner.
The person conducting the interview was Huang Pengsheng, director of the Political Research Office of the regional party school. He looked at Ji Zhong calmly and said:
"Please sit down and first, please introduce yourself."
After Ji Zhong answered the questions as required, he felt that he had made no mistakes, but there was nothing outstanding either.
"Honghua Township produces 30,000 pigs annually. Based on your own experience, please answer the question: How can Honghua Township maintain its pig production? I'll give you five minutes to prepare and three minutes to answer."
Ji Zhong picked up the pen on the table and scribbled on the rough paper for two minutes, then raised his hand to indicate that he could answer.
Director Huang looked at the examiners around him, and after they all nodded, he said:
"Okay, now please answer."
"Honghua Township sells 30,000 pigs annually, which shows that they did a lot of promotional work in the early stages of pig farming. I can be sure that the Honghua Township government has also formed an industry around pig farming. It should be said that Honghua Township has policies and measures for the pig industry, from understanding to measures. This is the premise for me to start my work in Honghua Township."
"Secondly, we need to maintain the quality of the stock. This is different from the initial development of pig farming. As the breeding continues, inbreeding may occur, and the stock will become increasingly non-optimal. Only by keeping good records of paternal and maternal lines can we avoid the degeneration of good stock, which will cause losses to the pig farming industry in the entire township.
"The third aspect is that as the breeding period progresses, the pens need to be regularly disinfected and sterilized, and outsiders and pigs are prohibited from entering at will. This ensures that the pens are kept clean and prevents epidemic diseases, so that no epidemic occurs."
…
"fifth……
My answer is complete."
Sun Zongyuan and Zhao Yuncheng, the examiners, looked at each other and smiled. This person was not simple. He analyzed the things that Secretary Zhao Yuncheng and I were worried about two days ago. The written test showed that his business ability was very strong. He scored 96 points out of 100, which was 30 points higher than the second place. His answer just now also showed that this person had rich work experience. He could only do things if he could analyze, right?
Everyone gave their scores. Sun Zongyuan gave it 96 points, Zhao Yuncheng gave it 98 points, and Director Huang gave it 95 points...
Finally, after removing the highest score of 98 and the lowest score of 91, Ji Zhong's actual score was 95.6 points.
After a whole day of interviews, the 36 shortlisted candidates completed the interview stage. That evening, the county personnel bureau calculated the comprehensive score for each person under the supervision of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and then selected the top two for organizational inspection.
These 36 candidates are distributed across 6 counties and 19 townships in the region.
The Anyang County Personnel Bureau organized three deputy directors to lead a team and used four days to inspect the completion of the political review.
After the situation was summarized, Secretary Wang Peizhong and County Magistrate Sui Gang looked at the selection summary form submitted by the Director of the Personnel Bureau.
County Magistrate Sui Gang said:
"I didn't expect Honghua Township in Anyang County to be so attractive. 634 people applied, but only 12 were selected. What a shame!"
