Rebirth of Minister Qi

After Xiao Wu closed the door, Jin Xinkai stood up and gave Qi Tongwei a hug.

"Brother, you are finally here, okay, pour the tea yourself.

But I'm so tired. It's so difficult at the grassroots level. When I was in a ministry, I didn't have to worry about anything and could just live my life well every day.

Now, every day when I open my eyes, I worry about economic development and how the 800,000 to 900,000 people in the county will eat and drink water.

You haven't seen it. Although the southern towns are close to the city and have a prosperous economy, the northern mountainous areas are too poor.

There is no flat ground at all, and nothing can be done.

Some elderly people in those natural villages still live a life of slash-and-burn farming, and most of their young people can't stand the loneliness in the mountains, so they either went to Jiangbei or to the city.

The problem in the seven northern towns now is not that they have no money, but that there are no young and strong people left, and there is no land. Even the fields are terraced fields halfway up the mountain. "

"Brother, it's okay, there is a way for everything to develop.

When I came from the mountains, I discovered something.

The scenery in the mountains is very beautiful, and with the river flowing into the river, most of the villages are built along the river, right? "

Qi Tongwei stood up and looked at the county map in Jin Xinkai's office. These hundreds of thousands of mountains were indeed despairing to look at.

“Brother, you see, in the mountainous towns in the north, most of the villages are actually located along this river.

If we want to develop, there is no need to engage in any industry.

On the one hand, we will continue to cultivate the economic crops determined in the past two years and keep the terraced fields.

We can build two roads along both sides of this river flowing north, completely connecting the north and the south.

The towns and villages on both sides each reported suitable landscapes and made some minor renovations, such as developing terraced fields, creating boating activities on the riverside, and renovating old houses with a sense of history to make them tourist attractions and farm stays.

The people living in their mountainous areas are all clans, with each village having a certain surname. During festivals, they hold folk activities.

If we combine these folk activities with the paradise-like scenery in the mountains, we can create tourist attractions.

Will there be an economy? Leave some of the cash crops for tourists to experience picking, advertise every year, and attract those idle people in the city to come and pick the fruits.

When it comes to sightseeing and festivals, these ancestral halls will hold activities such as dragon dancing, and set up banquets for tourists from other places to participate.

Tourists have to spend money on accommodation, meals, and souvenirs, so we can hire people to train the villagers nearby, and let them earn the money.”

The more Jin Xinkai listened, the brighter his eyes became. After Qi Tongwei finished speaking, he even clapped his hands.

"Well said, brother. I'm worried about how to develop the mountainous areas. Many places don't even have running water."

However, Jin Xinkai looked as if he had thought of something, with a worried look on his face.

“But I can’t even gain a foothold in the Standing Committee now. Only the Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary and the Propaganda Minister sent by the city clearly support me.

These locals often get together and speak their local dialect, which I don’t understand, but my shoes are not worn out.”

Qi Tongwei turned around and sat on the sofa.

“Brother, don’t worry.

What's wrong with the locals? Each village has a different surname, each town has a different accent, and there are barriers between them.

You said that it is a bit strange that the northern mountainous areas are so difficult to develop, but the southern areas are so prosperous. Wouldn’t the cadres in the north have any objections?

Brother, I suggest you find a cadre from the north, someone with high prestige, and let him push this matter forward, while you go to the higher-ups to ask for policies.

If he fails to push forward, he will be pointed at by his fellow villagers and will definitely not be able to hold this position. This is for the sake of developing his hometown.

After the matter is successful, you can reward the cadre and directly transfer him to the city to get a promotion. You don't have to worry about him becoming too powerful locally.

After he is transferred, we will find a cadre from the southern part of the country to sit in this position.

By then, the framework for development will have been set up, but there will be no powerful local leaders left, and the cadres in the south can be used to disperse the cadres in the north. "

The more Jin Xinkai listened, the more frightened he became. He had not studied the situation here in depth, but he felt that these cadres all spoke the same dialect and should be together.

This kind of thinking is due to the fact that the languages ​​of several northern provinces are similar, such as the Northeast, where people from three provinces all call each other fellows.

Little do people know that here in the southeast region, each village is the product of the development of a large family, and naturally there is a certain gap between them and other villages, plus they have built various ancestral halls over the past few hundred years.

Although everyone speaks the same dialect derived from the official language of the Song Dynasty, there are essentially barriers between villages and towns.

"I do have a candidate, the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, Chen Xin. He is from a large town in the northern mountainous area. Surrounding him are a large group of cadres from the same town and even the same village.

I can push him to take charge of this matter at the Standing Committee meeting. In this way, no one will hinder me, and they will have to get closer to me when things get done.

After the matter is accomplished, I can transfer him to the city, or promote other county officials to a higher level, and when the time is right, I can let you take over naturally.

Hahaha, brother, you are amazing. I have been here for more than a month and haven’t found a suitable entry point.

You cleared the fog as soon as you came."

"Brother, this matter must be planned by you yourself. You should go to your old unit and ask the Development and Planning Commission for policies and financial support.

Take this money and policy and use them to pressure them and seduce them. You don't have to worry about them not listening to you.

First, you have to make a show of it, be high-profile, and let this incident become the basis for you to establish your prestige.”

.........

After Qi Tongwei left, Xu Che was called to the county magistrate's office.

"Old Xu, I vetoed your decision to become the deputy county chief. Do you still feel resentful?"

Xu Che was in Jin Xinkai's office, but he did not behave like he did in the bureau. He was very humble, not caring at all that the man in front of him was only 28 years old, only a few years older than his son.

"The county magistrate must have his own long-term plans. How dare I?"

"Okay, don't feel wronged. You have read this document."

It was the document on cadre exchange that Qi Tongwei asked for from the provincial department. Actually, Xu Che did not read it carefully, but just listened to the report. Now his mind was not on the bureau. He was thinking that the county magistrate had vetoed his appointment, so he would go to the county magistrate to flatter him and get promoted to the deputy county level, just like Qi Tongwei in the past, who did not do his proper work but only cared about flattering and getting promoted to the deputy provincial level.

“Look at the end, Tong Wei reported to me, and I asked him to give you the authority to confirm the assessment.

You should cooperate with him and do your job well.

Don’t think that just because I transferred Tongwei from the provincial department, you don’t have to worry about the public security of the six southern towns.

On the contrary, you should cooperate with him, build a good team, and get things done.

I tell you frankly, as written in this document, this matter is also my assessment of you.

If the work is done well and the public security of the entire county is under your control, what is the point of a part-time deputy county magistrate?

Where am I from? I’m from Beijing. Have you ever seen a local official become a county magistrate at the age of 28?

Not to mention the deputy county magistrate, I can even give you an important deputy division-level position in Bailu District or even the municipal government.

Take a longer-term view and don't spend all day sitting in the county party committee and county government.

Go back and fully support Qi Tongwei in his work. Do you understand?

Also, there must be no corruption in this assessment. I don’t care about what happened in the past, but I can’t have it in my hands.

I'll see how you perform."
