After my rebirth, I became the son-in-law of the Provincial Party Committee Secretary

Therefore, on the afternoon of the same day after the cadre meeting, another standing committee meeting was held in the Shaohua Municipal Government Conference Room.

This time, not only were all eleven members of the Standing Committee present, but throughout the meeting, each member of the Standing Committee agreed and approved every decision made by the municipal party secretary and the mayor, deeply reflecting the unparalleled centripetal force and cohesion of the Standing Committee team.

Specifically, it includes the following three contents: First, a large number of preparatory construction projects such as Lotus Square and the office buildings of the four major teams were stopped;

Second, the recommendation of new county party secretaries in Zhiyuan, Anshan and Nanmen;

Third, in order to implement poverty alleviation policies, give full play to local advantages, and open up innovative ideas for getting rich, we plan to recruit a group of student party members or outstanding student cadres with full-time undergraduate degree or above, and select some of them to serve in leadership positions in poor villages in accordance with the "four modernizations" policy of the cadre team and the principle of both moral integrity and ability.

The Standing Committee members attending the meeting easily discovered that among the three topics, the last one was the most important. It was an important factor in whether the battle against poverty could be won, and it was also a long-term strategy for the sustainability of future urban development.

Zhang Hui, Fang Daye, Ma Hongfei and others once again cast strange looks at the municipal party secretary and the mayor.

They had to admit that although he was young, he was a real painter with great skills!

Just talking about this insight and foresight, it is not an exaggeration to say that his virtue matches his position and his talent matches his job!

Mayor Zhou, in particular, was always full of jingles, such as "Whether a rural area is rich or not depends on the branch. Whether a village is strong or not depends on its leader." He elaborated on the urgency and necessity of recruiting college student village officials to enrich the grassroots organizations in rural areas.

Here, Deputy Secretary Zhang would like to emphasize that their expression of support and approval was not blind pandering, but they truly felt that Mayor Zhou’s every word and every sentence was truly enlightening and opened their eyes.

……

Mr. Xiao, who was far away in Beijing, soon learned the latest developments in Shaohua City from his granddaughter.

The old man has always had a special feeling for Shaohua. This old revolutionary base was where he once fought. Therefore, he has always paid great attention and care to it over the years, including poverty alleviation policies and funds.

However, as Zhou Yi said, the starting point is good and the policy is good, but if the people responsible for its implementation are bad, then the economic situation in Shaohua City will still not improve, and the living conditions of the people will still not improve.

To this end, Zhou Yi and his granddaughter formulated a murderous anti-corruption plan in advance.

The public execution of three county party secretaries at the cadre meeting and the phrase "On behalf of the 3.8 million people of Shaohua, you bastards who suck the blood and wealth of the people will be put to death!" all showed the two men's firm determination to rectify Shaohua's administration.

While killing the chicken to scare the monkey and setting an example, a long-term strategic project of local rural revitalization, one college student village official, was proposed. It is not only based on the present, but also looks to the future.

Old Xiao felt a little sad in his heart. The boy clearly had no experience in governing a local government, but his first two actions as a new official hit the nail on the head.

To be honest, Jian Yan's grandson-in-law is really "three tricks missing one trick --- two tricks!"

Of course, it is too early to judge now. Anyway, his body can probably last for a few more years. Let's wait and see.

Sima Yanan, who had just finished a phone call with her grandfather, was also thinking about the same question.

Zhou Yi's performance during this period was not at all like his first time with no experience. He grasped the key points right from the start and went straight to the point. His movements were skillful and effortless, without any awkwardness at all.

Originally, she was thinking of taking care of Zhou Yi, but now looking at the situation, it’s not certain who will take care of whom!

During the lunch break, Mayor Zhou, who did not take a rest, drank a sip of tea and read the feasibility study report on urban economic development that had just been sent by the Municipal Party Committee's Policy Research Office.

This report puts forward seemingly pertinent and feasible opinions and suggestions through research on Shaohua City's industrial structure, investment structure, corporate organizational structure, as well as technological innovation and high-tech development.

Why do we say that it seems pertinent and feasible? Because opinions and suggestions are good, but there is a saying that goes "A good cook cannot cook without rice", and the word "rice" represents "money".

Yes, in the final analysis, it is still a word "money".

Neither he nor Sima Yanan is a god, so they can't create money out of thin air.

Most of this year's poverty alleviation funds have been allocated to various counties and cities, and then almost all of them have been squandered by them.

Don't be surprised. In a sense, urban construction is nowadays "politically correct" and a common means of gaining political achievements.

Zhiyuan County is not an isolated case; Anshan, Nanmen and other counties and cities also have the same problem.

The remaining 100 million yuan of funds used for urban construction was saved because the project was urgently stopped by him and Sima Yanan, which made the fiscal account look a little better.

Poverty alleviation requires money, investment attraction requires money, and expenditure and investment in education and health also require money. Every time I summoned the Finance Bureau Director Deng Xianrui, he always looked worried.

I just told him a not-so-funny joke - this year we can still rob Peter to pay Paul, and just pay the salaries of all civil servants in the city, but next year if we don't want everyone to starve, we will have to shamelessly go to the provincial government to ask for money!

Therefore, if we want to revitalize the economy and get rid of poverty and become rich, it is not enough to just talk, and it is not enough to just have decision makers and executors. We also need capital investment and support.

Compared to starting from scratch, it is more difficult to start from debt.

Mayor Zhou never had such worries when he was the director of the Public Security Bureau and the director of the Public Security Department!

He put the report aside and rubbed his swollen temples with his hands. Thoughts flashed through his mind one after another. Where can I cheat? No, I can rob, but that’s not right. Where can I get the money?

Let him first invest in and build poverty alleviation industrial bases in each township.

Zhou Yi reached out and picked up another report. He asked Liang Xingjian to summarize the research feedback from 19 villages in various counties, including Laifeng Township and Fuqiang Township.

He gave the task to the party secretaries of all townships to complete the same test question within a limited time - 'What do we have here!'

The answer from Yuan Guoqing, Party Secretary of Laifeng Township, was: We have forests and tea.

Yan Jiafu, Party Secretary of Fuqiang Township, replied: We have shiitake mushrooms.

Other answers included potatoes, tomatoes, blueberries...everything.

Only Wang Jili, Party Secretary of Taiping Township, said: We have nothing!

Then Mayor Zhou personally instructed: Then you get out of here right away!

Maybe Wang Jili thought he was telling the truth, but as a party secretary, he couldn't even find any local advantages or specialties. Even if he was not incompetent, he was definitely unqualified.

Not long after that, Wang Jili submitted another report - although we have nothing, we can join hands with Laifeng Township and walk together on the road to poverty alleviation and prosperity under the wise leadership of the mayor.

Mayor Zhou was silent for a few seconds, then nodded.

Okay, I'll give you a chance and see how you perform in the future.
