Chapter 39 People's Congress



A Party Committee meeting was held in the afternoon, with the deputy township head and the director of the Family Planning Office in attendance. The meeting studied the government work report and personnel adjustment plan, arranged some work before the People's Congress and the Spring Festival break, determined the time for the People's Congress, and listened to the preparations for the People's Congress, especially the election of People's Congress representatives.

When he came back in the evening, his wife said that his mother-in-law asked him to go to her house for dinner, so he took his wife and children there. Not long after, his father-in-law came back and hugged Sun Shipeng, and then started chatting with Sun Zongyuan:

"I heard from Secretary Shen Congde that I became secretary this time because of you. I never thought I'd become secretary at 43 after only being township head for a year and a half. I used to want to work for two years and then find a job in the county. Now that you're secretary, you need to tell me what your plans are for Honghua Township."

Sun Zongyuan reported the recent plans of Honghua Township to his father-in-law.

"There's no comparison between the development of Liuzhuang Township and Honghua Township. You've already surpassed Liuzhuang Township. The previous secretary didn't pursue development or get things done, and he missed the mark. It's not easy for me, the township head, to do this either."

After discussing it for a while, the father and son finally decided that Liuzhuang Township's work this year should be "five ones": build a road, invest in a feed factory, expand a food factory, upgrade the township clinic, and build a nursing home. The industrial output value exceeded 20 million yuan, and the fiscal revenue exceeded 600,000 yuan, both of which increased by more than 20%. This is referred to as the "five one two two" goal.

Sun Zongyuan's suggestion covers infrastructure, economic development and people's livelihood projects. In particular, if the economic goals are achieved, the county will firmly sit in the third place in fiscal revenue, second only to Anyang Town and Honghua Township, while avoiding conflict with Honghua Township. The health center and the nursing home will also be two highlights in the assessment, and the results at the end of the year will not be bad.

My father-in-law has just become the secretary, and he needs to win over the hearts of the people. I suggest that the 60 yuan subsidy withheld from the cadres throughout the year be paid out before the end of the year. I also suggest that the collection of education surcharges be suspended next year. At the end of the year, a reward of 200-1000 yuan will be given to advanced villages in the assessment to motivate all cadres to work harder next year!

These really don't cost much.

Finally, Sun Zongyuan gave Comrade Lao Xu a reassurance: if there is a gap in fiscal expenditure at the end of the year, he can use technical means to allocate 600,000 yuan in taxes and about 400,000 yuan in fiscal revenue from Honghua Township.

Comrade Lao Xu accepted all the suggestions and his work went smoothly.

On the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, the People's Congress of Honghua Township was successfully held with the majestic national anthem.

Li Jianguo, Party Secretary and Director of the People's Congress, presided over the meeting, and Zhao Yuncheng, Township Mayor, delivered a government work report:

“1. Review of the past year

In 1985, the township's total economic output exceeded 50 million yuan, a 46% increase, and fiscal revenue exceeded 1.2 million yuan, a 480% increase. Its total output ranked second in the county, and its growth rate ranked first in the county and the region. The township also repaired 23 kilometers of roads.

Civil Affairs...

Education and health care...

Reduce farmers' burden by 520,000 yuan...

Our township ranked first among twenty-one townships in the county's comprehensive assessment!

Here, I would like to thank all the people in the township for their support of the township government, the deputies to the People's Congress for their support, and all the people from all walks of life who have supported the development of Honghua Township! "

Zhao Yuncheng bowed deeply to the NPC representatives to express his gratitude!

There was thunderous applause from the audience. All the representatives were deeply moved and expressed their gratitude and support to the Party Committee and the government through applause!

Below is the three-year target plan and work plan for next year.

The work plan for 1986 was: to build square meters of roads and harden square meters of land, to carry out the pig-making project to raise 20,000 pigs, to attract investment from two enterprises and put at least one into operation, to create 3,000 factory jobs, to build two new schools, to build six dormitories and living buildings, and to start the construction of Honghua Industrial Park.

The industrial output value exceeded 70 million and the fiscal revenue exceeded 1.4 million, both of which increased by 20%.

Continue to suspend the collection of education surcharges to reduce the burden on farmers...

Strive to remain in the top five in the county’s comprehensive assessment!

There was another long applause. The plan was inspiring and encouraging!

Secretary Li Jianguo made a concluding speech at the conference rostrum:

"Comrades, our goal has been set, and we need cadres at all levels and the general public to unite their hearts and minds, forge ahead, and keep moving forward.

Let us work hard to build our Honghua Township into a beautiful, livable, prosperous and harmonious new town!"

At this People's Congress meeting, Sun Zongyuan was unanimously elected as the deputy head of Honghua Township People's Government!

He was a deputy ninth-rank official. Smoke was coming out of his ancestral tomb. My father took the male members of the Sun family to burn paper in front of the ancestor's tomb during the New Year. He specifically informed all the ancestors and asked them to buy a lot more paper and set off two strings of 100 loud firecrackers.

For a while, when the villagers called Old Sun, they all looked kind and respectful!

My father used to be a soldier, so he has a very straight body. Now he walks with a military gait, and he walks in an orderly manner without any dragging.

The next day, Sun Zongyuan said hello to Li Jianguo and reported to the County Planning Commission. He announced that he would report a week later. Sun Zongyuan felt uneasy, so he put a box of Hongtashan cigarettes in his trouser pocket and met the director Li Jiancheng. Li Jiancheng used to be the deputy director of the County Party Committee Office. As he got older, he was transferred to the Planning Commission.

After Sun Zongyuan's self-criticism, Li Jiancheng said, "Don't be polite. County Party Secretary Shen told me that your focus is on Honghua. The only thing you need to do here is to come up with a development plan for the entire county. I've set up a development planning office for you and staffed it with two young people, both of whom are technical secondary school graduates. I've arranged for them to collect some materials for you in the early stages. You can meet them later and arrange your work. From now on, when you're in Honghua, you can contact me directly by phone if you have any questions. I'll arrange to contact you if I need to meet in person."

Sun Zongyuan was overjoyed and thanked Director Li very much. He took out some materials and gave them to Director Li:

"Director Li, this is an application. My family wants to invest in building a factory and needs to import production equipment from Sweden. Could you please advise on the proper procedures? Importing equipment requires foreign exchange quotas. I earned over $10 million in foreign exchange last year. Could you please leave me $3 million?"

"When will construction begin? When will the equipment be used?"

"I plan to start construction in the spring after the Lunar New Year, and to have the equipment installed and put into production by the end of June. Otherwise, it will be difficult to sell the pigs raised in Honghua Township."

"Okay, I see your project has a 10 million yuan investment, which meets the requirements of a national key project. Let's include it in the national key project. This will make it easier to handle power supply, land acquisition, and foreign exchange quotas. Foreign exchange is tight across the country, but since you're a foreign exchange-earning enterprise, obtaining foreign exchange quotas shouldn't be difficult. I'll try to get back to you before the end of the year!"

"By the way, you have to continue to earn more foreign exchange this year. That way, you can apply for a foreign exchange quota for your own use in the future, and it will be directly reserved for you."

"Take the $15 million I earned this year and leave me $5 million."

"You kid, it's useless for me to agree to it. It depends on the policy from above!" Director Li said.

After chatting for a while, I started to coordinate work with the people from the Development Planning Office. I invited Director Li Jiancheng to have a quick lunch at noon, and stuffed two packs of Hongtashan cigarettes into his bag before leaving.

After dinner, Sun Zongyu took the materials provided by the Planning Commission and took the police station’s car back to Honghua.
