Shortly after Teachers' Day, the autumn harvest work in rural areas began.
The county held an autumn harvest and autumn planting work meeting, attended by the secretaries, township mayors, deputy secretaries in charge, deputy township mayors and directors of the agricultural office of each township.
The first phase of the meeting was a visit to the autumn harvest and planting site of thousands of acres of farmland in a semi-plain area of the town. We saw that large areas of corn and soybeans had been harvested, and large tracts of farmland had been plowed into black land by tractors and oxen. The scene was truly spectacular.
The party secretaries of four townships came to the stage to make statements.
Among them is Zhao Yuncheng, the head of Honghua Township. Secretary Li Jianguo is a member of the county party committee standing committee, so only Zhao Yuncheng can make a statement.
Back in Honghua Township, Township Chief Zhao Yuncheng sat in Secretary Li Jianguo's office and was worried.
"Our area is mostly hilly, not plain. The soil thickness is uneven, and the water conditions vary greatly. Especially since we had heavy rains in the summer, the growth and maturity of crops have been uneven. How can we achieve the centralized harvest and autumn planting required by our superiors?"
Li Jianguo was also worried. He couldn't go against the county's request, but he couldn't harvest the unripe crops prematurely, could he? That would cause big problems.
After thinking for a long time, Li Jianguo said:
"Let's just follow the county's instructions and issue a written document to the township government. We'll hold a meeting to formally implement it, but we won't make any specific requirements for its implementation. Let our township just do the last bit of this work. If I'm really criticized, I don't believe the interests of the people will be harmed like this."
The autumn harvest and autumn planting work meeting in Honghua Township was held in a grand manner. The director of the county agricultural bureau also attended the meeting to guide the work, and two villages and a work secretary made statements.
The township issued a document, and all deputy section-level cadres went to the work areas they were in charge of to guide the work. The two deputy secretaries and Sun Zongyuan were each responsible for supervising two work areas, and they were formally very strict.
But I don't know what happened recently, but every morning at 10 o'clock, the Party Committee convened an expanded meeting to study various documents since this year. Each person in charge had to put forward learning experiences and implementation opinions, so the expanded meeting members studied in the morning and wrote learning experiences and implementation opinions in the afternoon. Some submitted them in a hurry, but after review by Secretary Li Jianguo, they were considered unqualified and needed further revision and improvement.
A week passed, and the deputy county chief in charge came to Honghua Township to inspect the autumn harvest and planting work. He found that the progress was uneven and scolded the township chief Zhao Yuncheng. At noon in the cafeteria, Li Jianguo personally accompanied him and said nice things, taking all the problems on himself, asking the deputy county chief not to blame Zhao Yuncheng. During the meal, Li Jianguo broke the promise and competed with the deputy county chief for several cups of 42-degree Ganhe special liquid. The office also moved several sausages and drinking water to the trunk of the car. The deputy county chief drank too much and was carried into the car back.
Five days later, the deputy county magistrate went to Honghua Township again. Li Jianguo took him to the Honghua pig farm and meat processing plant. He received training on pig farming techniques and precautions in meat processing from experts and professors of the Agricultural College for the whole morning. The deputy county magistrate had a deeper understanding of pig farming technology. At noon, he went to the Mechanical Research Institute to see the trial-produced agricultural tricycles and then had lunch here.
During the meal, we wanted to talk about the autumn harvest and planting, but before we could say anything, Li Jianguo stood up and asked for wine. After two glasses, everyone became interested and drank one glass after another, until everyone fell home drunk.
Two days later, the people of Shishan Township in the south surrounded the township government. The police station wanted to arrest a few people, but nearly a thousand people suddenly broke out and overturned the police station's tricycle into the river. The incident alarmed the Anyang County Party Committee and the Ganhe Prefectural Party Committee.
The region and the county set up a joint investigation team and rushed to Shishan Township to investigate the situation. After the investigation, they found that in order to complete the county's task of centralized harvesting and centralized farming, the township arranged cadres to forcibly harvest immature crops. For some high-stalk crops, people were even forced to trample down the crops in order to achieve a wider view.
The people had objections to this. The local cadres were rude and simple in their actions, causing nearly a thousand people to gather at the township government. The improper handling of the police station caused an emotional outburst among the people.
Three days after the report was submitted to the Prefectural Committee, it made the following decisions:
The deputy commissioner in charge of agriculture at the regional administrative office was given a warning and dismissed from office, and the director of the regional agricultural bureau was given an intra-party warning and transferred to the position of director of the regional science and technology association;
The deputy county head in charge of agriculture in Anyang County was given a warning within the Party and transferred to the position of deputy county-level cadre of the regional Disabled Persons' Federation. The director of the county agriculture bureau was transferred to the position of president of the county individual business association. The head of Shishan Township in Shishan was given a serious warning within the Party, and the deputy head in charge of agriculture was transferred to another township to serve as the director of the petition office (deputy section level).
The Ganhe Prefectural Committee issued a special document to correct problems such as formalism in agricultural production in recent days, requiring that things that are beneficial to the masses must be done resolutely, and things that are not beneficial to the masses must not be done. This is the mass discipline and the bottom line, and no one can violate it.
The Anyang County Party Committee and County Government not only made a serious self-criticism to the Prefectural Party Committee, actively admitted that they were divorced from the masses and harmed their interests in their work, but also took the initiative to bear the losses of the masses.
More than a dozen cadres were transferred from surrounding towns and villages to Shishan Township to help carry out stability maintenance work.
In recent days, the concentrated study of cadres in Honghua Township has ended, and deputy-section-level cadres in charge of the work area have gone to the villages to guide the masses in carrying out autumn harvest and autumn planting work.
When Sun Zongyuan visited Secretary Li Jianguo's home in the evening, he suggested that Honghua Township could change its autumn harvest and planting work from supervision and management to serving production. The township could contact agricultural machinery from other counties where autumn planting has not yet started to help Honghua Township with production. A subsidy of 1 yuan per mu of land could be given, and the work area and village would pay it after completing the record.
Li Jianguo patted Sun Zongyuan's shoulder.
"You're suggesting a good idea. Many of our township's laborers are working in factories, earning money. We can't possibly compete with their agricultural townships in terms of progress. But we can use some outside resources. The factory workers are from Honghua Township, and they take turns giving them five days off. We can focus on the autumn harvest and planting, and in a week, the entire township's autumn production will be almost complete!"
"By the way, isn't the county sending people to Shishan Township to help with the work for a few days? I think you should go."
The next day, Sun Zongyuan and two people from the Construction Office arrived at Shishan Township. The county delegation was led by Dong Zhenhua, the deputy secretary of the county's Political and Legal Affairs Committee. He knew Sun Zongyuan well. He was the youngest deputy section-level cadre in the county, and he even occasionally ate in the cafeteria with the county party secretary and county magistrate. Who among the county's cadres didn't know him? He was a celebrity!
After careful consideration, he was assigned to Dushanhou Village, where he was assisted by Wang Lei, Section Chief of the County Justice Bureau, and Yang Hongjun, Secretary of the Shishan Township Work Area.
Several people arrived at Yang Hongjun's work area, and Yang Hongjun briefly introduced the situation to the working group.
In this incident, Dushanhou Village was a key village. Among the nearly 1,000 people who surrounded the township government, more than 300 people went from Dushanhou Village. Basically, more than half of the adults went there. Three of the seven people who overthrew the police station were from this village.
