They got up at eight o'clock in the morning, went to the roadside, drank a bowl of noodles, ate a piece of tofu, and rolled up a fried dough stick pancake, and then the three of them went their separate ways.
Zhao Yuncheng went to the county party committee to report to Secretary Wang Peizhong, Ding Facai went to the Family Planning Commission to do some work, and Sun Zongyuan went to the Planning Commission, after all, he still held the title of deputy director.
As soon as Li Jiancheng, director of the Planning Commission, saw Sun Zongyuan come in, he quickly stood up, led him to sit on the sofa, and personally made him a cup of tea.
After the greetings, Sun Zongyuan asked about the development of Anyang County this year.
Li Jiancheng pretended to be angry and said:
"Look at you, do you even look like a deputy director? You don't even know the county's development situation, yet you come to me to ask me about it. I'm afraid your job as deputy director is almost over!"
"Hey, I'm busy. To be honest, I really want to take it off!"
"You've done a great job. Following your initial suggestions, Anyang County has developed rapidly over the past two years. Several major projects, in particular, have seen their production capacity increase this year. The data is impressive. At this rate of development, it will only take three to five years for it to surpass Ganhe City."
"Those projects we've recruited have contributed over 15 million yuan in tax revenue this year. The county's traditional Chinese medicine factory has also paid over 3 million yuan in taxes this year after expanding its production capacity with a new project. Four million yuan by the end of the year is almost certain. The coal mine and power plant have also contributed over 5 million yuan. The county is actively promoting the second phase of the project, and the Anyang Industrial Park has seven or eight companies. The Anyang Feed Factory, run by your family, is also the largest, and has already paid 1 million yuan in taxes in just six months. Your Honghua Township is even more impressive, on the verge of surpassing 10 million!"
"Last year's fiscal revenue was only 15 million yuan, and this year it's estimated to actually exceed 30 million yuan. Our idea is to report over 20 million yuan, and the excess will be included in the next year. Otherwise, the figure will be too high and the impact will be too great, which is not a good thing."
"20 million is also a 35% increase. Where does that rank in the entire region?"
"Being number one in the region is no problem, and we can even be in the top ten in the province. What we want is for the people to benefit. As for those empty talk, the leaders mean we won't fight for it, and there's nothing to lose."
"Since the county is doing this, Honghua Township must also adjust and reduce the pressure a bit. What do you think is an appropriate amount?"
"Your revenue was over 3 million last year, so 5 million this year is not bad. The increase is more than 40%. This increase is very small in the province. If you report it honestly, it will be spread all over the country. It's better to keep a low profile on some things."
"I'll keep that in mind and make arrangements later. Also, I heard you're going to make some progress. When will that happen?"
"You must have heard it from someone, right? How could I not know? But Secretary Wang had a casual chat with me earlier and asked me if I wanted to be deputy county magistrate or deputy director of the regional planning commission. I was also confused."
"From Anyang County's perspective, they certainly don't want to let you go. However, for the development of the entire region, going to the district will have greater social value. More people will benefit from your efforts. Staying in Anyang is icing on the cake, while going to the district is like providing timely assistance. I believe the district will let you go there!"
"I know what you mean. Let me make it clear first. You're the one who came up with the big ideas for Anyang County. If I go to the regional level, you have to come up with big ideas again, otherwise I won't let you go!"
"I will do everything within my power. Zong Yuan is willing to serve you!"
At noon, Zhao Yuncheng invited Li Jiancheng to have a simple meal together. The three of them found a private room in a small restaurant, ordered a few side dishes, and opened a bottle of white wine to drink symbolically.
After seeing Li Jiancheng off, the two returned to the private room to drink some water and rest for a while.
Zhao Yuncheng said:
"This morning, I reported on the work of Honghua Township to Wang Peizhong and County Magistrate Sui Gang, and we received satisfactory results on several issues."
"Your township head will be appointed before the Spring Festival. Nie Ning's affairs have also been properly arranged. Guo Yongxiang has been promoted to the director of the township people's congress. Secretary Wang will arrange for the Organization Department and your township head to implement this together."
"The secretary and the county magistrate are very interested in your proposal to establish an urban management system. Let's proceed according to our ideas. Once it's successful, we'll hold a county-wide on-site meeting to promote it, especially in the county seat."
"You asked about the township's fiscal revenue growth this year. The county magistrate said that as long as it ranks first in the region, it's fine."
"Director Li Jiancheng and I have also discussed this issue. We estimate that the 5 million yuan increase in fiscal revenue this year, which is more than 40%, will not be a big problem. I asked him to pay attention to it." Sun Zongyuan replied.
"We will set up an urban management team when we get back, and try to see results this month. Go back and bring a specific plan, and we'll discuss it!" said Secretary Zhao Yuncheng.
"Old Guo is now the director of the People's Congress, and we're short of a Minister of Armed Forces. Do you have a suitable candidate?"
"Last time, several cadres promoted in our township were from departments. This time, I'm thinking about promoting two from among the work area secretaries. Frontline work is not easy and is very challenging, so we need to encourage them. Do you think it's appropriate?"
"I think so too. Some work area secretaries wanted to come back to be department heads in the early stage, saying that they were easy to promote. I knew that the last promotion coverage was biased. This time we have to give them priority consideration. If they do a good job, they must be rewarded. Honest people and hard-working people should not suffer any losses. There must be no problems with our township's personnel orientation!"
"However, among the cadres selected this year, Wang Hongxia, the Youth League Committee Secretary during the previous rectification campaign, and Lu Yong from the Organization Department, are both proactive, have ideas, and a solid work style. They demonstrated excellent work abilities during this campaign, and the county recognizes our township's work. It would be best if we could secure a few more spots. This would also encourage the newly selected cadres. After two years, they will mature, and it would be difficult to promote over 30 people all at once."
"I've already informed the Organization Department. We'll be actively working to redeploy cadres at the end of the year. We'll prioritize those who are capable, keep those who are suitable for Honghua Township, transfer those who are unsuitable, and let the young ones shoulder the responsibilities. We must also, as Secretary Wang Peizhong requested, train a group of good cadres for Anyang County who are adaptable to reform and opening up and understand economic development."
"Only the county's main leaders and the Organization Minister know about this. Go back and secretly examine the candidates, and we'll discuss it later. But those with bad character must not be hired!"
"Okay, Secretary, I'll think about it and come up with a preliminary plan, and we'll study it together."
Sun Zongyuan was very grateful for the olive branch extended by Zhao Yuncheng. As a party committee secretary, he completely gave him the power to use cadres. This was a trust in him and more importantly, a test of his standards for employing people, his vision for identifying and employing people, and whether he could stick to his original intention and be an honest official.
In the afternoon, the two went to the county armed forces department again, briefly reported on the armed work, and then proposed to establish a standing militia company system based on the urban management squadron as a standing force for flood control, disaster relief, forest fire prevention, and safety emergencies.
The leaders of the armed forces were very happy after hearing this. This is a reform, and if it is done well, it will be a definite achievement. They said on the spot that they would give policy support if they could!
