Chapter 109 Changes (III)

Zhao Changsheng sat in the co-pilot position, and assistant mayor Liu Kun and office director Tang Shugang sat in the back row.

The rules of riding in small cars have subtle differences depending on the leadership level: county-level leaders are all special cars, usually sitting in the seat behind the driver, commonly known as the head seat, while the secretary sits in the co-pilot. The leaders of towns and towns like to sit in the co-pilot position. One important reason is that there are few small cars in towns and towns, and there are inevitably other leaders and secretaries. The town mayor is sitting in the same car. At this time, sitting in the co-pilot position without having to squeeze with his subordinates, highlighting the position of the leader.

Zhao Yongsheng was used to sitting in the passenger seat. When the car went up the mountain, he narrowed his eyes slightly, watched the scenery in front of him retreat quickly, pulling the heavy gravel cart and passing by, with the whistling sound of the wind.

There have been many small ponds on the mud and stone pavement. According to the suggestions of the Shangqinglin Working Group, Shangqinglin Highway has specially established a section for raising roads to be responsible for maintaining the roads. This money should have been spent by the town government. After Qin Feiyue left, although Su Ming temporarily presided over the government work, Zhao Yongsheng actually carried the secretary and mayor on his shoulders, and the financial pressure was once again directly pressed on his shoulders. Every month, he would have a headache for a long time.

Learning from his mistakes, he clarified his thoughts: the main thing on the Qinglin Highway was crushed by heavy vehicles, and heavy vehicles arrived at the stone yard, so each stone yard should bear the main road construction costs and provide free slabs and gravel.

For this purpose, he held a road construction meeting specifically in Shangqinglin. The highway is the lifeblood of the stone yard and must be maintained. Otherwise, the stone yard will not survive. Therefore, Hou Weidong, Qin Dajiang and others agreed to Zhao Yongsheng's proposal in principle. After bargaining, they finally accepted Zhao Yongsheng's plan.

There was a five-man maintenance team on the Qinglin Highway, which was responsible for the road maintenance task. Since the mountain was rich in stone and gravel, the road maintenance team was not short of materials, so the road maintenance team was better maintained than Qinglin. Although there were constant heavy vehicles, the road was basically kept unobstructed.

Although there are a few small ponds to go up the mountain this time, it doesn’t matter the overall situation. Zhao Yongsheng is quite satisfied with the road conditions. He turned to Liu Kun in the back row and said: "There are rich resources on Qinglin Mountain. After the highway is opened, five medium and large stone yards appeared, and two coal mines are under construction. If you are in charge of the enterprise, you should go up the mountain more and arrest the enterprise. This is the bull's nose for the whole town. If you do this, you can increase the income in the town and seek benefits for the people."

Liu Kun looked at the small stone yard that appeared from time to time with confidence, and said, "The Shangqinglin Stone Farm in Yiyang County has made great contributions. County Mayor Li is in charge of transportation and has mentioned Shangqinglin Stone Farm many times. Secretary Zhao, don't worry. I will do my best to do my best to promote Shangqinglin enterprises to a new level."

After Qin Feiyue and Chao Jie were in trouble, Tang Shugang, director of the Party and Government Office, was full of hope for promotion. He was the senior director of the Party and Government Office, and the most hopeful among the cadres in the town to take over Chao Jie's position. Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin appeared in the middle, and Liu Kun came down from the sky with a parachute, blocking his progress.

Tang Shugang was naturally very disappointed, but this was the organization's decision, and he had no choice. Hearing Liu Kun's statement, he said in his heart: "If there is no good father, why is it your turn to express his opinion?"

In Dushi Village, village cadre Hou Weijiang, branch secretary Qin Dajiang, village committee director Jiang Shangshan, clerk Chen Dachuan, militia company commander and regiment branch secretary Yang Binggang, and women director Zhu Yaofen all came to the conference room. Li Yong was the former village cadre, and now he has been stationed in Jianshan Village, and Hou Weidong alone served as village cadre in Dushi Village.

While waiting for someone, Yang Binggang was sitting next to Hou Weidong. He handed a cigarette over and said, "Crazy, do you still want someone in the Dog Back Mountain Rock Stoneyard? I want to come over and take a position." Hou Weidong felt uncomfortable when he thought of greeting Liu Kun, so he said to Yang Binggang: "I asked you to come here to take care of safety before, but you firmly disagree. Why did you figure it out now? There is no location. Lin Zhongchuan is doing a good job. I can't set up two safety officers in the Dog Back Bend."

Yang Binggang scratched the back of his head and said sincerely: "At that time, there was an accident in Secretary Qin's stone yard, and Jiang Wa was blown into pieces, and I was scared."

"Then why do you agree to come here again now?"

"He Hongfu made so much money in a month and bought color TVs at home. He was not afraid of me. In this society, life is hard to live without money. Madman, to be honest, are you short of people?"

Hou Weidong pondered for a while and said, "There are three managers in Goubeishan. Lin Zhongchuan is doing well and he really doesn't need much staff. The safety officer of Yinggang Stone Field is not good. I will tell Zeng Xiangang that you will go over and try it. However, I said that it was in front of me. When I entered the stone field, I must follow the rules."

The Goubeishan Stone Site is the most standardized stone yard. Since its establishment, there has been no safety accidents. Yinggang Stone Site is slightly worse, but it is much better than Qin Dajiang and Zeng Xiangang’s stone yard. At least the mining surface is trapezoidal, and there is no vertical mining platform that is straight up and down.

Yang Binggang said happily: "Don't worry, I know the rules. When will I go and how much will I get for a month?"

"This is all based on the system. If you are a security officer, you will get the salary of the security officer."

Hou Weidong was just explaining the precautions to Yang Bing when the sound of car horns came outside the door, and everyone went out one after another to welcome the leader.

Zhao Yongsheng got out of the car and saw the village cadres and Hou Weidong of Dushi Village greeting each other at the door. He was very satisfied. He smiled and joked, "Qin Dajiang, why do you feel like Bao Gong?" Qin Dajiang smiled and said, "This is a way to have no asshole. If you want to find money to support your life, you have to go to the stone yard to bask in the sun every day."

He joked with the village cadres for a few words, and then his expression became solemn, saying, "I will introduce you to a new leader, Liu Kun, the assistant mayor, who was transferred from the comprehensive section of the county government office to our Qinglin Town, and will be in charge of the enterprise and family planning work in the future."

Then he introduced the village cadres to Liu Kun one by one. When he introduced Hou Weidong, Zhao Yongsheng said briefly. "This is Hou Weidong, a village cadre." Liu Kun took the initiative to extend his hand and smiled and said, "Hello Hou Weidong. I will support my work in the future." Hou Weidong said in a public manner: "I hope Liu Zhen will care more about it there."

Liu Kun introduced to Zhao Yongsheng: "Hou Weidong and I are college classmates." Zhao Yongsheng said "Oh" and said: "Hou Weidong, your classmates have become deputy mayors, you still have to work hard."

Hou Weidong felt quite disgusted, and he was even more dissatisfied, but had nowhere to vent. He smiled faintly.

Everyone sat in the conference room of Dushi Village, which was similar to a classroom. Two tables were installed at the lectern. Zhao Yongsheng sat in the middle, Liu Kun was on the left, Tang Shugang was on the right, Hou Weidong and the village cadres were sitting at the lower head.

"This year's TILIU coordinated agricultural tax, Dushi Village ranked first, which shows that the village cadres are combat-ready." Zhao Yongsheng was full of confidence and used a few gestures when speaking. Liu Kun lowered his head and quickly remembered something on the paper. His expression was very serious. His hair was combed into a slight part of 300% and he also used mousse. It was very bright and neat.

Hou Weidong took up a red tower mountain and accidentally spit out a smoke ring, rising up in the smoke. He burst as he approached the roof. In his eyes, Zhao Yongsheng's mouth kept opening and closing, and his words were like mosquitoes in the green forest, flying around the house. Hou Weidong couldn't help but brush his face with his hands. It seemed that this would drive the mosquitoes away.

Zhao Yongsheng finally finished speaking, and it was Liu Kun's turn to come. Hou Weidong immediately stood up and thought to himself: "In two years, how much progress has Liu Kun made?"

"My name is Liu Kun. I used to work in the county government office. After being arranged by the organization, I went to Qinglin Town to work. It is my honor to be able to work with everyone."

Speaking of this, Liu Kun paused for a moment, looked at the village cadres opposite him, and stopped on Hou Weidong's face for a second, and said, "Since I graduated from university, I have been working in the agency and have no experience in working at the grassroots level. You are my teachers at the grassroots level. I must learn more from everyone here, and I hope you will give me some advice."

After hearing the opening remarks, Hou Weidong had to admit that Liu Kun's opening remarks were very decent, "This guy has indeed made progress." After reaching this conclusion, Hou Weidong felt a little disappointed.

At the end of the talk, Liu Kun said: "Secretary Zhao asked me to be in charge of family planning and enterprise management. I will do my best to do my best to do the things I am in charge of. Shangqinglin has resource advantages, and opening the road will be like a tiger with wings. I promise here that within three years, Shangqinglin will make Shangqinglin enterprises a higher level and make Qinglin Town a strong industrial town in Yiyang County."

The last few words express the pride and confidence hidden deep in their hearts, but they are not ostentatious.

After the meeting, the next program was naturally to drink and eat. Qin Dajiang rubbed his hands and said to Zhao Yongsheng: "I don't have beans at home today, so I can't eat them. This is the first time Liu Zhen has come here, so we will go to the town to have a meal."

Zhao Yongsheng waved his hand and said, "Don't eat restaurants when working meals are served, your guests' dishes are delicious. The old rules are: eat local chickens and drink plum wine."

Everyone came to Qin Dajiang's house. Qin Dajiang had arranged for dinner in the town, but there was no preparation at home. Qin Dajiang's wife went to the back mountain to catch a chicken, slaughtered it, added a few handfuls of firewood to the stove, rushed over with a big fire, and soon the fragrance came out.

While waiting for dinner, the few people played very popular double buttons outside. Zhao Yongsheng and Liu Kun formed a pair to play against Qin Dajiang and Jiang Shangshan.

Hou Weidong moved a chair and sat under the eaves to drink Yi Yang Xin tea. Although this kind of tea in Ming Dynasty is not very famous, it tastes very real. While drinking tea, Hou Weidong tasted Liu Kun's expression. Although he smiled, he had a condescending expression. This expression could only be understood, and Hou Weidong felt it particularly clearly.

At one o'clock, the aroma of chicken soup came to my nose. Before serving, Qin Dajiang was quite embarrassed and said, "Secretary Zhao is coming, but Qin Dajiang didn't say it earlier. I'll boil it with a clay pot, which tastes much better."

Everyone sat together. Qin Dajiang's alcohol tolerance was the leader in Qinglin Town. Today he took out a large pot of plum wine. He was going to drink Liu Kun, who had come up for the first time, according to the rules of going to Qinglin.

Zhao Yongsheng is a local cadre who is born and raised. He knows Qin Dajiang's thoughts, but does not stop him. He also wants to see Liu Kun's alcohol tolerance and his performance when drinking. As the saying goes: brand quality depends on character, wine style depends on style. Although the words are rough, they are a test principle. Zhao Yongsheng believes it deeply.

Under his suggestion and indulgence, the cadres of Dushi Village launched an attack on Liu Kun. Although Hou Weidong felt a little uncomfortable, he was unwilling to make the village cadres feel that he was narrow-minded and followed him to greet Liu Kun.

Plum wine is a farm wine in Shangqinglin. The degree is not high, and it is estimated to be less than 30 degrees. The entrance is very light. After Liu Kun was besieged by the village cadres, he felt a little drunk. He covered the big wine glass with his hands. No matter Qin Dajiang and others were so skillful, he refused to submit.

Qin Dajiang raised his wine glass and advised: "The rule of going to Qinglin is to go up the mountain to three glasses of wine. As long as you are new to Qinglin, you have to drink this way. You have only drunk it. This is the wine that everyone toast you. As a leader, you still have to meet our village cadres."

Zhao Yongsheng said from the side: "I'll be the referee. Liu Kun has only one person. I'll be spared if I go up the mountain with three glasses of wine. If he drinks another six glasses, he will be considered as completing the task."

Qin Dajiang and others cheered and said, "Just do what Secretary Zhao said, I'll chat with Liu Zhen first." He picked up two glasses of wine, stood up and handed it to Liu Kun. Liu Kun's face was flushed and he kept shaking his head, but he just refused to answer.

After refusing for a long time, Qin Dajiang was a little angry and said, "I'll drink it first, do you drink it or not." After that, he raised his neck and drank it.

Liu Kun had no choice but to drink.

Hou Weidong sat aside, without launching a war or persuasion. When he first arrived in Qinglin, he was carried back to the dormitory several times, and this memory is still vivid in his mind.

Jiang Shangshan then started to toast again. This time Liu Kun refused to drink it. Jiang Shangshan was still the old strategy and could not persuade him, so he drank it first.

Liu Kun held the wine glass and was in a dilemma, so he said to Hou Weidong: "We are classmates, please help me have a drink."

Hou Weidong was reluctant to accept him and said, "This is the wine that Director Jiang has toasted you, how can I drink it?"

Seeing Hou Weidong's unhelpful expression, Liu Kun said in his heart: "Hou Weidong is now an ordinary cadre. I'm asking you to have a drink, which is to give you face." He said: "Hou Weidong, be honest."

Jiang Shangshan cheered on the side and said, "Mayor Liu, I have drunk it all, you still have to drink it."

Liu Kun put the wine glass on Hou Weidong's table and said, "You will help me drink this wine and give it to me in the future." He said with some dissatisfaction in his tone.

Hou Weidong is not an ordinary cadre, but a cadre boss with hundreds of thousands of cash and two stone yards. He maintains close relationships with leaders such as Zeng Zhaoqiang, Qin Feiyue, etc., and is very confident. He snorted, ignored Liu Kun, picked up the wine glass and said to Zhao Yongsheng: "Secretary Zhao, I wish you a glass of wine, thank you for your concern for Dushi Village."

Zhao Yongsheng did not refuse and had a cup with Hou Weidong.

Hou Weidong drank the wine and said, "I'll go out for a little while." He put down the wine glass, turned around and left the banquet.
