After discussing the results of the year-end assessment, Secretary Zhao Yuncheng (who also serves as the deputy county magistrate, and in Honghua Township people are still used to calling him secretary, so I would like to clarify this) talked about his work plans for next year.
"County Magistrate Zhao, to be honest, I'm very uncertain about next year's work. My idea is to keep a low profile as much as possible, otherwise we'll be in trouble if we get punished. If getting punished can promote development, I'll accept it. I'm afraid of getting punished for nothing!"
"You mean there will still be some chaos in the country next year, which will have an impact on economic and social development?"
"It will be affected, we have to survive carefully!"
Sun Zongyuan thought for a moment and said:
"But there are solutions. Developing the private economy is risky, but we can develop village-run enterprises. If every village sets up an enterprise, collective strength will be enhanced, people's income from working in factories will increase, and our township's tax and fiscal revenue will increase."
"Okay, then, let's start with the village-run enterprises. You take the lead and come up with a plan, and we'll discuss it with the Party Committee the day after tomorrow. Finally, you, as the newly elected township head, will bring it up during your government work report at the People's Congress before the New Year."
"Secretary Zhao, I have an idea. I wonder if it's appropriate?"
"Tell me what you think?"
"Our township has seen significant growth in terms of the number of businesses, output value, fiscal revenue, and small town development compared to two years ago. I'd like to consider using this People's Congress as an opportunity to discuss whether Honghua Township can be renamed Honghua Town or Fushan Town."
"That's a good suggestion. Our township's strength has far surpassed that of some towns. Logically, we should be a town. I also think we should be changed to a town. Please draft a report, and I'll go to the county and city to review it. We'll try to get it raised as an issue at the People's Congress."
The transformation of a township into a town will greatly promote social development, economic construction and small town construction. To transform it into a town, it is necessary not only to consider the economic strength and urban construction, but also the population size and supporting services.
Sun Zongyu returned to the office of the township head next door and drafted a report on the abolition of Honghua Township and the establishment of a town. It was more than 3,000 words long. The main content was that the conditions for establishing a town had been met. It was proposed to abolish Honghua Township and establish Fushan Town based on the original jurisdiction, and the seat would be changed to Fushan Village.
The four secretaries and Guo Yongxiang, a member of the People's Congress, met briefly and agreed that the establishment of a town was essential, ideally requiring approval at the People's Congress this year. Zhao Yuncheng personally oversaw this work, with Guo Yongxiang leading the compilation and submission of various data and materials.
Sun Zongyu also proposed to use two weeks to collect the three increases and five unifications from 1987 as the village collective development fund to facilitate the use of the next step in the development of village-run enterprises. The village would collect and use the funds and the township would take over the management. This work was led by Deputy Secretary Wang Shutao, and an implementation plan was put forward within two days.
It was also proposed that the new year be the breakthrough year for village-run enterprises, and that Deputy Secretary Lian Shijun take the lead in coming up with an implementation plan, which would be studied at the Secretary's Office Meeting a week later.
Finally, Zhao Yuncheng also proposed that we should focus on two tasks this year and create:
Year of Grassroots Organization Building
Year of Safe Construction
The two deputy secretaries will each take good care of this work, implement it effectively, and achieve results, and strive to provide typical experiences at the on-site meeting held in the county.
The two deputy secretaries came from the county. They have high positions, are good at coordination, and are good at their work. If they fail to do these two tasks well, the township cadres will have opinions, and the county Organization Department and Political and Legal Affairs Commission will also be embarrassed.
Sun Zongyu sat in his office, looking at the distant mountains outside the window. After thinking for a moment, he picked up the phone and called the regional secretary Li Chuanyu.
"Secretary Li, am I disturbing you? I'm Sun Zongyuan from Honghua Township. The day before yesterday, the organization promoted me to be the township head. I'd appreciate your support and guidance in my work, and please be more critical of any areas where I'm not doing well!"
"Zongyuan, the Anyang County Committee specifically sought my opinion on your appointment. You should know that you're only a little over 24 years old and have only been a deputy section chief for two years. This position of township head has been reserved for you for a full six months. You've set two records in the Ganhe area: the youngest township head and the fastest-promoted township head. You must continue to do your job well as you have in the past, learn from the veteran comrades, and achieve more. Don't bring shame to our Prefectural and County Committees!"
"Secretary Li, don't worry, I will definitely..."
Sun Zongyuan reported his work to Commissioner Sun Peiqing, Deputy Commissioner Shen Congde and other leaders in succession, and also received a large number of instructions and requests from leaders, all of which were expressed very well by Sun Zongyuan.
These days, Zhao Yuncheng has been working on the removal of villages and establishment of towns in counties, regions and provinces.
Two days later, Wang Shutao brought Lu Meng to Sun Zongyuan to report on the three-increase and five-unification collection work.
After reading the implementation plan, Lu Meng gave a general report on the ideas behind drafting the plan, and Wang Shutao also made some additions.
Wang Shutao was originally a policeman. He initially worked in a township police station for five years, was promoted to police station chief and worked there for three years. Due to work reasons, he was transferred to the county political and legal committee by the deputy secretary in charge of politics and law, where he worked for three years at the age of 34.
Sun Zongyuan felt that he was simple, quiet but passionate. He needed to know more about other things, but he heard that his friends in the Political and Legal Affairs Commission had a high opinion of Wang Shutao.
The implementation plan is generally good. However, because Wang Shutao has just arrived in Honghua Township and is not familiar with the situation, and has no understanding of Sun Zongyu's leapfrog thinking, this implementation plan is more suitable for other townships. However, it needs to be modified in Honghua Township.
First, regarding the issue of tax exemptions, who needs to be exempted? Who needs to have their tax cuts reduced? The plan must clearly spell out the details without any ambiguity.
Secondly, the purpose of the fund must be made clear. The development fund is still the village's money, which is managed by the township. The focus is on developing the collective economy. A report must be submitted for its use, and only with sufficient reasons can it be approved by the township. The process must be made clear.
Third, there must be rewards and punishments. Villages with a collection rate of less than 80% will not be rewarded. Villages with a collection rate of over 80% will be rewarded 5% for the collective, and 10% will be rewarded for completing all the tasks.
The reward fee is paid separately from the township finances and no village funds are used.
Those who have a simple and rough work style and cause public complaints will have their rewards and penalties deducted, and in serious cases, the relevant personnel will be held accountable.
Deputy Secretary Lian Shijun was called over, and in addition to the necessary normal work and duty, all township cadres were divided into two large groups: family planning and collection. Two deputy secretaries took the lead in taking overall responsibility and rewarded them according to their work performance.
The two deputy secretaries will take the lead in coming up with ideas on how to reward the cadres in the agency, and finally the secretary and the township head will balance the reward policies of the two groups.
Sun Zongyuan said to the two deputy secretaries:
"For these two year-end events, each cadre received an average of 200 yuan in rewards. If we count those who didn't participate as support staff, the difference in rewards would be huge. It's been a tough year for the cadres, so let's consider it a full-year benefit. We've already communicated with Secretary Zhao."
