The next morning, Wang Siyu, accompanied by several leaders of the Municipal Party Committee Office and the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, went to Yulan County, under Luoshui City for investigation and inspected the democratic election of village cadres. Although he said hello in advance and asked the county to work normally and not have grand receptions, the convoy arrived at the high intersection and saw seven or eight small cars parked on the side of the road. The secretary and the county magistrate and the team had been waiting for half an hour.

After getting off the car and greetings, he was moved by the enthusiasm of the county leaders. In order to take care of the emotions of the county comrades, Wang Siyu had to temporarily change the arrangements and went to the county party committee compound first to listen to the work report made by the county leaders. The secretary and the county magistrate each prepared a long speech and talked for an hour and a half, and reported in detail about the economic development, party building work, and achievements in promoting grassroots democratic construction in Yulan County in recent years.

After the meeting, it was already lunch time. Worrying to affect the progress of the investigation, Wang Siyu politely declined the county's good intentions and did not go to the government guesthouse for a meal. Instead, he immediately instructed everyone to bring bread and mineral water to the road directly. This behavior undoubtedly made the leaders of Yulan County very embarrassed. The two top leaders of the party and government were even more unable to get out of Taiwan. After the dissuasion was ineffective, he got into the car in shame, followed the convoy, and accompanied the destination of the trip, Qingbin Township.

In order to prepare for this investigation, the village did enough homework. After receiving the notice, it carried out a sanitation cleaning half a month in advance, and painted the houses on the main street. The walls on the side of the road were filled with inspiring slogans, showing the new atmosphere of the new countryside. However, one of the family planning slogans was a bit abrupt, which made Wang Siyu frown when he saw it, and wrote: "Phone out! Degenerate out! Flow out! Just can't be born!"

For some reason, this murderous slogan, paired with bright red fonts, felt bloody, which made people feel very uncomfortable. He shook his head gently, turned around, and whispered a few words to his secretary Lin Yue. In order to ensure the authenticity of the research results, Wang Siyu made a temporary decision to let Lin Yue get off at the door of the township government and join a staff member of the committee to conduct an unplanned village alone for an undercover investigation.

This is also impossible. In recent years, units at all levels have accumulated rich experience in handling inspections and investigations of superior leaders, and often control the entire process extremely strictly, allowing leaders to see only the achievements but cover up the problems. This greatly reduces the research results.

There are even some rumors among the people to satirize this kind of fraud, such as the familiar joke: "The villages cheat the townships, the towns cheat the county, and they all the way to the State Council. The State Council issued a document and read it down one by one. After reading it, the document went to the hotel, but it was not fulfilled at all."

Regarding the research work, some of the cadres and masses below also have other opinions, believing that they are formalism, and so many petition materials that reflect problems are piled up like mountains and no one cares about them. However, leaders of various departments like to go on a big and erectile dysfunctional way to conduct research, and clearly want to see things that are fake and empty, but when it comes to problems that arise in reality, they pretend to be deaf and dumb and avoid them.

After touching the mentality of the superiors' leaders' great joy, some units will be relaxed and at ease when dealing with it. As long as they are willing to invest and develop a decent image project, they can cover up all their ugly things and keep their political achievements and officials at the same time. As the old saying goes, "If there are good people above, there will be even more people under them."

Wang Siyu likes to investigate and research, but he prefers to see the real situation rather than show off official performances. Therefore, when conducting research, how to break through the strict blockade below has become a problem that must be considered.

After entering the township government conference room, listening to the report of the township leaders on the democratic election of village cadres in recent years, looking at the photos taken over the years, and checking the relevant information, Wang Siyu was very satisfied.

After years of exploration, the democratic election of village officials has achieved great achievements, especially the villagers' democratic awareness, which has been greatly improved. This experience accumulated in practice is commendable and will provide useful ideas for future political system reform.

At first, the villages under Qingbin Township almost broke out in a war when democratic elections for village cadres were held. Judging from the photos retained in the village, the election scene was in chaos. Some villagers tear each other, pushing and scolding scenes were everywhere, and torn votes were scattered all over the ground. Because the incident was suddenly caught off guard, a deputy township chief at that time was swung a shoulder pole and knocked down three teeth. ~

The progress now is naturally obvious. Just from the photos, the difference can be seen. Some villages, when conducting elections, act like a festival. At the election, six or seven rainbow doors were set up, and various slogans were everywhere. Some people beat drums and drums and promoted materials. There were as many as a dozen candidates, and the campaign atmosphere was extremely strong.

According to town leaders, this grassroots democratic election method has elected village committee cadres trusted by villagers, and all aspects of work have become much easier. All extremely difficult tasks in the past have become simpler. Whether it is family planning work, forced epidemic prevention for poultry and livestock, returning farmland to forests, straw to fields, autumn farming, and highway rectification work, they can be implemented in an orderly manner.

After staying in the township government for an hour and a half, the convoy left again and went to three natural villages one after another. They held a symposium in the village committee to communicate with village cadres and villagers' representatives of the two committees, visited the needy people, and watched folk performances organized by some villagers. In the evening, they ate the farm meals at the farmers' homes before returning to the city. The whole process went very smoothly and there were no problems.

However, the next morning, Lin Yue put a piece of material worth more than ten pages on his desk. After reading the materials, Wang Siyu couldn't help but shake his head. Sure enough, this investigation was blinded by some enthusiastic and thoughtful county and township cadres, and the large number of problems in the village election did not appear in time.

First, the phenomenon of bribery is extremely serious. From the initial delivery of rice, noodles, fertilizers, and direct cash, the village committee elections in Qingbin Township have completely become a pattern of "spend money to buy officials", and the price has also increased from 100 yuan per household to 500 to 100 yuan per person. Some villagers in wealthy villages even have to spend 300,000 to 500,000 yuan in order to become the village committee director. This is just a expense in the village, not including the public relations expenses for the township leaders.

Secondly, some newly elected village committee cadres have basically not been trained, have weak awareness of policies and regulations, and have no common sense in management. Most of them do whatever they want and act blindly. Some people have even become village tyrants and local emperors, and no one dares to provoke them. Since officials who have spent a lot of money to buy, how to recover their investment is naturally the first question they consider.

Therefore, when some people first took office, they began to think about rural collective funds, land contracts and expropriation funds. Some people even sold their land in large quantities without telling the villagers, making the accounts messed up, and even created many ridiculous farces. There was a village with a water pipe that was 40 meters long, which actually paid 1.3 million yuan.

There is another village in which a villager was elected as the director of the village committee. He held a meeting in the village and never participated. He did not complete all the tasks arranged. After selling land to make money, he accumulated funds. His family moved to the county and started a logistics business. However, the official seal was still carried with him. If there was something in the village, he needed to contact him in the county.

Moreover, the village committee director acted very extreme. He gave the green light no matter what the villagers who voted for him, regardless of principles. However, he made things difficult for the villagers who did not vote for him. The villagers had great opinions, but the villagers were helpless and could only turn a blind eye.

The basic situation of each village is roughly the same. The villagers' councils and democratic financial management teams set up in the village are all there, and the relevant systems have already been put on the wall, but they are all useless. The relevant organizations have not participated in rural work at all and have only become props to deal with inspections from superiors. It can be seen that achieving villagers' autonomy and implementing the four democratic goals is still out of reach.

After carefully reading the materials, Wang Siyu kept shaking his head and gave instructions on the materials: "There are many achievements and many problems. It is recommended that the relevant departments summarize the experience and lessons as soon as possible, carefully study countermeasures, and solve the problems in a timely manner, Wang Siyu."

Put down the signature pen, pick up the cup, and drink a sip of tea. Two 'drips' sounds came from the phone. Wang Siyu smiled slightly, touched the phone, and flipped out the text message. He saw that it was Ning Shuang, which read: "Mr. Yu, there are twelve days left, do I need me to pick it up?"

Wang Siyu was slightly stunned, turned his body sideways, looked at the Taiwanese calendar, and suddenly realized that it was already under the Chinese New Year and was busy all day long. He forgot about going to Chenyang to celebrate the Spring Festival. He hurriedly replied with a text message: "No, I'd better go by myself, or discuss with Brother Wei Guo and go together."

A few minutes later, Ning Shuang sent another text message: "I have already asked Weiguo. He and Chen Qiming, who have to go to the third year of junior high school. You can go directly to the capital and come back with my parents. Stay here for a few more days. Grandpa really wants to see you."

Wang Siyu couldn't help laughing, pondered for a while, and replied: "Girl Shuang, can you bring a Chinese painting to Mr. Ning as a gift?"

After a while, Ning Shuang's text message came over again, which read: "Young Master Yu, Chinese paintings are OK, but it is best to be a military theme, and the works that reflect the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea are particularly good. In recent years, my grandfather has always wanted to revisit his hometown, but it's a pity that he is weak and difficult to get what he wants."

"Okay!" Wang Siyu sighed, nodded, and wrote in a bit disgusting: "I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you very much. Shuang'er, what gift do you like? Brother Xiaoyu brings you with you."

After the text message was sent out, it was like a rock sinking into the sea. There was no more news. Wang Siyu patiently continued to review the documents. After waiting for more than twenty minutes, he still didn't reply. He couldn't help but feel a little regretful and hurriedly sent another text message: "Why, Shuang'er, are you angry?"

Soon, the phone rang again with 'Didi', and the text message read: "No, I just kept thinking about it, I don't know what gift to ask for."

Wang Siyu smiled, leaned back, turned the leather chair, and sent another message: "It's very simple, Shuang'er, what do you want most now?"

Ning Shuang bit her pink lips and thought for a long time before slowly writing: "A family, a man, and a lie about love."
