Rebirth of Minister Qi

“Brother, look at the map of our county.

In fact, the upper and lower parts are clearly divided into the six southern towns and the seven northern towns. Almost all of the six southern towns border the Bailu District in the urban area.

Beiqi Town is divided by Chengguan Town, and the northern part is entirely mountainous.

I know that in order to govern, rulers in the past would split a county with the same language and culture into several counties, and then merge them with other counties that were incompatible with the culture.

The newly formed county will be like ours, with the north and the south facing each other and checking each other.

For example, in Sudong Province, is the north-south difference the same as ours?

On the contrary, the culture of southern Jiangsu is closer to our northern Jiangdong, the Yangtze River Delta.

Let’s get back to our county. To be honest, the population of our county is really large.

There are thirteen townships with a total population of 900,000, which is more than the three urban districts of Lincheng City.

If the six southern towns were united, their economy would be one-third of that of Lincheng.

I was thinking, if the north and the south were separated, the north would be able to lighten its load, with tourism as its main industry, while at the same time taking away the title of a national-level poverty-stricken county.

A lot of subsidies we save every year can be used in the north.

I also know that because the economy of Nanliu Town is so good, many people in the province say that the title of our poor county is somewhat inappropriate.

We have always wanted to get rid of the label of a poor county. If the north and south are divided into two counties, first of all, the north will be able to receive a lot of subsidies and no one will criticize us anymore.

As for the south, I suggest establishing an economic development zone directly with Jiangbei Town as the center, and incorporating the two towns of Shangxiaqiao and the three towns to the west into the economic development zone.

It was lightly equipped and directly incorporated into the urban management. This piece of land is connected to Jiangbei and Shangxiaqiao, and is also connected to the river.

The river flows directly to the East China Sea. If an industrial park is built here and various industries are introduced, coupled with some policy incentives, the development speed will definitely exceed expectations.

We can all see that the local people are very courageous and they work very hard, but they have no way to get loans now and can only borrow from private individuals at high interest rates. Confined to such a small area, they don’t know how to develop.

This is exactly the responsibility of our government. We must serve the people well, introduce projects to them, provide them with policies to get loans, and level the land for them so that they have the opportunity to develop their talents.

When we introduce large-scale industries, such as automobile manufacturing and upstream and downstream spare parts, local residents will start their own businesses.

Their sense of smell is really strong. Every household can do the spare parts business of these big companies in their own small yard.

I dare say that if we can achieve this step, we will be able to take advantage of the favorable conditions of reform and opening up and leave a good industry for the people here.

It is our responsibility to put money in the pockets of ordinary people.”

Jin Xinkai looked at the map in a daze for a moment and did not express his opinion. Although he was born in Beijing and grew up in a ministry, he was still a little nervous about participating in major regional events on his own.

He was afraid that he was not capable enough and could not get things done well. People would point at his photo and say, "He is a waste. If it were not for him, development would not have been better."

"You go back first, I'll think about it."

Jin Xinkai was shocked by Qi Tongwei's ambitious plan and didn't know what to do.

Qi Tongwei also knew that the time was right and forcing him would be useless. If a young man really wanted to grow up, he needed to accomplish such a big thing with his own hands.

Instead of sitting in the seat of county magistrate and listening to the flattery of subordinate cadres all day long, Jin Xinkai has been really flattered by the subordinate cadres recently. Little did he know that this is exactly the evil that the emperor suffers.

That afternoon, Jin Xinkai asked for leave from the city and flew directly back to Beijing. When he left, he tightly grasped the rolled-up map of Yongqing County.

........

A few days later, Jin Xinkai returned from the capital, still holding the map in his hand, but his eyes had completely changed.

Same office, same old customer.

"Brother, you're finally back."

Jin Xinkai's voice became deeper and deeper, and his eyes became more determined.

"You are right, you are right, Tongwei.

If, while in office, you always focus your attention on petty political struggles and enjoy the flattery of your subordinates every day.

What's the point of being the general? What's the difference between it and playing house? It's the same in the compound. You play the general and he plays the secretary, and you enjoy the pleasure of pretending to be adults.

You have enlightened me. Let's look at the map and I will go back to ask for advice.

They all agreed with your plan and even made further suggestions.

One is to separate the north and the south first, and then directly merge the south into the urban area. I would like to call it Jiangbei District.

Then this area, which includes Jiangbei Town and the three towns to the west, is used for commercial development, real estate and commercial complexes. The dense population here makes it perfect for these.

The new town of Jiangbei Town in the east and the two towns of Shangxiaqiao were merged to form a new Economic Development Zone, which applied for a full-level department-level structure.

I serve concurrently as the secretary of the Party Working Committee and director of the Management Committee, and at the same time as the mayor of Jiangbei District. The district party secretary is concurrently served by a standing committee member and municipal leader, so as to stabilize the political status of Jiangbei District.

As long as the economic development zone here develops, it is only a matter of time before I become the district party secretary, and can naturally become a member of the standing committee.

The industries developed in this economic and technological development zone will radiate to the southern part of Jiangdong Province and clarify the position of our city in the southern center.

I have asked someone to persuade the municipal party committee leaders. Tomorrow I will make a plan and report the topic to the mayor and secretary.

In the ministry, I am the only one who can run this project. Other city leaders also have no chance of success because the director of the Development and Planning Commission has said that no one else can do it except me.

Thank you, brother. If you hadn't enlightened me, I would still be worrying about who this Standing Committee member belongs to and whether he or she will vote for me.

After being trapped in internal friction for a long time, he finally spent the past few years in mediocrity.

Let’s do something big together.

This was your idea, so you have to support me with all your strength.

I have also figured out how to operate on your side. I plan to directly transfer your public security bureau from a county public security bureau to a municipal public security bureau, and you will have full authority to decide on the personnel arrangements there.

This matter will take about half a year to complete. By the second half of the year, you will definitely have control over the county bureau.

Just when the new branch is being established, you will be promoted from deputy director to deputy division level and given the title of deputy district chief.

At the same time, you will also serve as the deputy director of the Economic Development Zone Management Committee. When the time is appropriate, you must share my worries and I can increase the division of labor for you at the Standing Committee meeting.

With experience in other fields, you can break out of the box of public security professionals and develop more smoothly in the future.”
