"This is a good idea. We have more than a dozen key industrial projects in our county, and we can absorb more than a dozen of them!"
Secretary Zhao Yuncheng looked at Wang Peizhong and said.
"That's good, but we can't just focus on industrial projects. I think projects involving road construction, school construction, and other infrastructure, as well as public welfare projects, can all be managed through specialized project teams."
"We can expand this further. For example, in agricultural product processing, we can have county-level officials take the lead in setting up a special team to conduct investigations and research and produce research reports. We can also do this with poverty alleviation. Normally, everyone is busy with miscellaneous tasks and has no time for research. Now, veteran comrades can produce reports, and young officials can implement them. This will save us a lot of trouble and promote the development of our work!"

It was noon time and the secretary on duty came over to remind the leader that lunch was ready in the cafeteria.
The three of them walked towards the cafeteria while chatting.
The secretary brought four side dishes: a plate of fried peanuts, a plate of pork skin jelly, a plate of scrambled eggs with chili peppers, and a plate of shredded pork with lotus root slices.
Wang Peizhong was very happy all morning. It was rare that he was on duty in the afternoon and there was nothing big to do, so he asked his secretary to bring him a bottle of 53-degree Jingzhi Baigan.
Secretary Zhao Yuncheng said, "Secretary Wang, I'm sorry to drink your wine. How about I go out and buy a good bottle?"
He opened the bottle cap himself and said:
"It's Chinese New Year, why don't you drink some wine? This wine is sesame-flavored. Don't be fooled by its cheapness, I just like it."
"Then I'll give you this wine when I give you wine from now on!"
"Little guy, I've never drunk wine like this before!"
"Then I'll send two boxes to your county magistrate tomorrow!"
"No, I'm a seventh-rank official, so I only drink sesame-flavored wine that I buy myself. No one else's gift will taste as good as the wine I buy myself!"
The three of them, each drinking a little over three taels of wine, talked about Li Jianguo and Xu Xingfu during the meal. Wang Peizhong said:
"Jianguo and Xingfu are both close friends of yours, Zongyuan. They work in the district. This year, they've not only put the entire region's desertification control and animal husbandry work at the forefront of the province, but crucially, they've found a way for millions of people to escape poverty and become prosperous. I spoke with District Party Secretary Li Chuanyou a few days ago, and he's very satisfied with these two cadres from our county. I expect they'll make even greater strides in the coming year."
"I heard that Secretary Li Chuanyou is going to the province to serve as vice governor?"
"The Organization Department came to inspect the matter before the New Year, and it has been decided that he will be appointed as a member of the Standing Committee and Vice Governor. He will probably take over the work of Vice Governor Liang."
"I'm not sure who will be the secretary of our Ganhe District? Will Commissioner Sun take over?"
"The provincial government has already conducted an investigation. Tan Chengui from the Provincial Civil Affairs Department will be appointed as the regional secretary. Commissioner Sun will be appointed as the regional secretary in Mudan. Zhou Qun, secretary of the Provincial Youth League Committee, will be appointed as the regional commissioner. Our regional deputy secretary will be appointed as the regional commissioner in Yunhe. Our veteran leader, Shen Congde, will be appointed as the Party and Mass Work Secretary and the third-in-command."
"The adjustments to our regional leadership have been quite good this time!"
"That's right. This adjustment in our region is the best ever made by previous leadership. Crucially, our region's development over the past two years has been the best in the province. The guidance established by the higher-ups is based on performance!"
"Our county's performance isn't bad either. Secretary Wang, don't you want to make some progress as well?"
Because it was not a normal occasion, Sun Zongyuan spoke to Secretary Wang Peizhong half-jokingly.
"I've only made a small improvement, becoming a member of the regional standing committee. I'll continue to serve you, Mr. Sun!"
Wang Peizhong also answered half-jokingly.
"Yuncheng, your term as deputy county magistrate will be a year in July. Come and work in the county."
"What about the arrangements for Fushan Town?" Zhao Yuncheng asked.
"You've come to the county to serve as the executive deputy mayor, holding the title of secretary of Fushan Town, and also serving as deputy director of the Fushan Economic Development Zone. You have to keep Sun Zongyuan in check. By the summer, you'd only been mayor for half a year, and you're still a few years short of being promoted to secretary!"
"Secretary Wang, I wish Secretary Zhao was at the helm in Fushan Town. Secretary Zhao is not in Fushan Town, so it's too far for me to report to him."
"Hey, Yuncheng is just giving you a position in advance. If you succeed in Fushan Town, you'll take over as secretary. If not, you can come to the county and be the deputy director of the county party committee office. How about that?"
"Then I will definitely do a good job. It would be so embarrassing if I don't!" Sun Zongyuan said hurriedly.
To be honest, Sun Zongyu really didn't want to be a deputy director of the county committee. It wasn't that he couldn't do it, but he didn't want to do those empty jobs of serving the leaders!
On the seventh day of the first lunar month, the first day of work in the new year, Secretary Wang Peizhong convened a brainstorming meeting with four deputy secretaries and the head of the Organization Department. The topic was how to make full use of older cadres.
After Wang Peizhong brought up the topic he had discussed with the two leaders of Fushan Town on the second day of the first lunar month, he said:
"The proposals from County Magistrate Zhao and Sun Zongyuan are very inspiring for our work. Let's discuss this topic again and see if there is anything else we can learn from them."
After everyone pondered for a while, Deputy Secretary Li, who was in charge of agriculture, said:
"We have many agricultural sectors and projects. For example, the rural water supply project is a very tedious task. I can definitely take the lead and cooperate with multiple departments. However, there is no specific person in charge to take charge of the work. I think we can set up a special team and find a so-called veteran cadre to take charge. This way, we can get twice the result with half the effort. The same goes for rural biogas construction. There are also several small Type I and Type II reservoir reinforcement projects that can also be managed by a special team, giving full play to the role of veteran cadres to promote the development of our work. These are the things I can think of at the moment!"
"Secretary Li has broadened our horizons again. I think these two tasks can be assigned to special teams," said Secretary Wang Peizhong.
Deputy Secretary Yang, who is in charge of political and legal affairs, said:
…
After the Spring Festival, Fushan Town carried out three activities in accordance with the county's requirements:
The county's designated greening tasks for barren hills must be completed. Fushan Town has made significant progress in desertification control, but some steep, barren slopes still exist on the steep mountains, covering approximately 3,000 to 4,000 mu. The county has recommended planting arborvitae or black pine trees, primarily to create ecological forests.
Several leaders of Fushan Town inspected the terrain and geological conditions on site and felt that they were all sandy and rocky mountains, which could also be used to develop fruit planting. After connecting with the Hexian Agricultural Fruit Center, they decided to plant chestnuts. They chose grafted seedlings that would bear fruit in three years, which would not only protect the ecology but also have economic benefits.
The town provides planting subsidies: it provides free access to high-quality varieties cultivated by the Agricultural University, and provides an additional subsidy of 5 yuan per tree.
The concentrated family planning activities focus on health checkups for married women.
For concentrated pig farming development activities, the task must be to have one pig per capita, and assessment will be conducted on a village basis.
