On December 6, Hou Weidong attended the first small meeting with the new municipal party secretary. The participants were all members of the municipal party committee. Since Zhu Minsheng was going to attend the meeting, the municipal party committee members arrived at the venue early in the morning. No one dared to be late, and no one asked for leave.

An oval conference table was installed in the middle conference room. Zhou Changquan used to like to sit on the oval head, so everyone thought that this position was the chairman position. The new secretary Zhu Minsheng had a different taste. He chose to sit in the middle of the conference table, and several new party flags were added behind it, which looked both grand and solemn.

While waiting for Zhu Minsheng, Hou Weidong said to Zhao Lin beside him: "Secretary Zhao, when will I come to Wuhai County to study?"

When Hou Weidong graduated from Shazhou College, Zhao Lin was already the deputy secretary of the Yiyang County Party Committee. In terms of qualifications, Hou Weidong was too far away. He reported to the Yiyang Personnel Bureau that year, but he ran away several times but failed to implement it. Fortunately, he met Zhao Lin by chance, so he completed the very simple registration procedures.

Zhao Lin sent a cigarette to Hou Weidong and said with a smile: "Yesterday I was still telling Lao Cui of the Propaganda Department that Chengjin County often appears on provincial newspapers and provincial television stations in the past six months, and Wu Hai is far from it. Lao Cui will come to Chengjin to learn scriptures recently. Don't hide your own private matters at that time."

Hou Weidong said: "Wu Hai is the eldest brother and Cheng Jin is the young brother. What experience can I have? Moreover, I am from Wu Hai. Even if I really teach some lessons, I will not hide it from my parents and officials in my hometown."

As the two were talking, Chengjin County Party Secretary Ma Youcai also walked in. He put down his handbag and started answering the phone. It was not until the municipal party secretary Zhu Minsheng walked into the venue. He stopped the call, nodded to Hou Weidong, and looked at the new secretary intently.

Zhu Minsheng is an old agency. He has a suit, tie, white clothes, and his hair is neatly divided. He looks very literary, but when he enters the door, he has a serious face, a cold face, and a little powerful.

The person who presided over the meeting was Deputy Secretary Huang Ziti. He looked around the venue and said, "These days, everyone is looking forward to the arrival of the new secretary. First of all, I suggest that everyone welcome Secretary Zhu with warm applause."

There was a burst of applause, and Secretary Zhu had no smile on his face, but just raised his hand and pressed it down to express humility.

Huang Ziti said again: "Next, please give an important speech by the Secretary of Minsheng."

Zhu Minsheng glanced at everyone and said, "Although I'm a newcomer, everyone is also an old friend. Most of the comrades here can name them." He paused, took a sip of tea, and said, "Because I haven't conducted an investigation yet, and I have no say without investigation, so I'm not pragmatic today. First, I'll talk about democratic centralism."

Under normal circumstances, officials in office must talk about their basic policy programs or opinions. When they heard Zhu Minsheng suddenly talk about democratic centralism, this is actually his policy program. Everyone here listened with a breath of attention.

After explaining the concept of democratic centralism, Zhu Minsheng emphasized: "Science, completeness, and accuracy, these six words are the key to our understanding of democratic centralism. Without these six words, democratic centralism is false and fake."

It also said: "Democratic centralism is always constantly improving and developing. At the Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China, democratic centralism is defined as centralized on the basis of democracy and democracy under centralized leadership; ...... The Party Constitution adopted by the 14th National Congress stipulates that democratic centralism is a combination of centralized concentration on the basis of democracy and democracy under centralized guidance."

Zhou Changquan never leaves his bags when he has a meeting. He talks about things when he has something to do, but he has nothing to do. He is very straightforward.

Zhu Minsheng, the new secretary of the municipal party committee, has high theoretical literacy, one set of theories after another: "Whether an opinion is correct cannot be determined by a person's subjective judgment... Only the principle of a minority obeying the majority... The squad leader has no right to make decisions on his own against the majority's opinions."

"At the same time, we must prevent decentralization and extreme democratization. A big party like us who has no unified will and unified leadership will inevitably do their own things. A mess is a mess, and it is necessary to be in chaos. Individuals obey the organization, a minority obeys the majority, lower-level organizations obey superior organizations, and the whole party obeys the National Congress and the Central Committee of the Party. These four obediences must be implemented without fail in Shazhou."

Zhu Minsheng has extremely well-versed theoretical knowledge. This speech is indeed very high, with history and reality, China and foreign countries. After talking about the theory, he changed his tone and returned to reality from the theory and said: "Secretary Zhou is a typical example of implementing democratic centralism. Many of the procedures for the Standing Committee meetings he formulated were adopted by the provincial party committee. This is one of Shazhou's theoretical contributions. It is amazing. I will express my opinion here. I will not engage in innovative norms, and the procedures for the Standing Committee meetings must be implemented without any discount."

Zhu Minsheng stroked Zhongpin's hair and said, "Yesterday, Secretary Huang told me that there are several important things to be settled. I mean, in accordance with the spirit of democratic centralism, and in accordance with the terms of the procedural rules, without any discount."

He continued: "I said three times without discounts. What does it mean? It is the matter decided by the Standing Committee. All cadres in Shazhou must implement it, and they must also implement it if they have opinions. They cannot do this indiscriminately and disobey the Standing Committee's decisions for the benefit of small groups. If such a thing occurs, it must be handled strictly with a strict organization."

In the last few words, he said it very strictly, and he deserves to be the title of Minister Lengwei.

After saying this, it took only forty minutes. Huang Ziti talked about a few more specific things, which took twenty minutes. Then Huang Ziti said: "Today's meeting ends here, the meeting will end."

After leaving the venue, Hou Weidong was thinking about Zhu Minsheng’s policy declaration:

"From this speech, Zhu Minsheng has a lot of meanings inside and outside the speech. Speaking of centralized people's livelihood is actually about discipline. Four obediences and three without discounts should be the key to the speech."

"The procedures for the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee held by Secretary Zhou are beneficial to the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee from form to content. Zhu Minsheng is very smart and has fully accepted this system. In addition to the previous speech on strictly implementing democratic centralism, he can actually grasp the direction of Shazhou City."

"It's not Yiyou who can get to the position of the municipal party secretary." After carefully studying Zhu Minsheng's speech, Hou Weidong sighed.

Back in Chengjin, Hou Weidong called Minister Liang Yifei of the Propaganda Department to the office and briefly talked about the situation of the Municipal Party Committee Committee's discussion. He said: "Chengjin Daily, the TV station should continuously publish and broadcast theories related to democratic centralism. This is Secretary Zhu's speech on democratic centralism that I compiled today. Based on this, comrades with high theoretical level should understand the spirit and combine it with the reality of Chengjin to write a series of high-level articles. Focus on publishing it in the media."

Liang Yifei understood the meaning and happily accepted the task. He suggested: "I have an idea. If the provincial and municipal newspapers can publish a few substantial articles, the county's publicity work will take the initiative."

Hou Weidong agreed with Liang Yifei's suggestion and said: "All articles about democratic centralism must be given to me for review, and theoretical things must be very cautious."

County-level leaders are called grassroots cadres in the central documents. The main task of grassroots cadres is naturally the front line. After discussing theoretical issues with Propaganda Minister Liang Yifei, they took people straight to Shuanghe Town.

After Liang Yong was sent to Shuanghe Town, he worked very actively, and divided the entire town into ten working groups. He took the responsibility into the people in pieces and ensured that the Chengsha Highway could start smoothly. No matter what the effect was, Liang Yong's positive attitude was incomparable to the former secretary Wen Gongcheng.

Grassroots work is not high-tech. Many times, attitude can determine everything.

In about ten minutes, Hou Weidong arrived at the village primary school and said to Liang Yong, who was waiting here: "When will it be possible to enter the site for construction? Is there any specific time?"

Liang Yong said in a little embarrassedly: "We have put the cadres of the organs into ten groups, each of which is led by the town leader. I am responsible for the village primary school. From the progress of my group, most of the villagers still support road construction, but there are a few unreasonable people who are unreasonable."

"There are no unlucky people in Chengjin County, only people who have temporarily lost their ideological work." Hou Weidong corrected Liang Yong's words when he saw many people following him and several rural old ladies watching.

Liang Yong knew that he had made a mistake and hurriedly said, "Secretary Hou is worried. We must increase our ideological work, adjust the land reasonably, and pay the compensation to every villager as much as possible."

Hou Weidong nodded and said, "Everyone knows the financial situation of Chengjin County, so I won't say much. This money is hard-earned and must be guaranteed to be distributed to the people. This money is a high-voltage line. Whoever dares to intercept it, no matter who it is, will be severely punished without any discount."

He said as he walked, Liang Yong followed closely behind, and others followed and walked towards the village elementary school.

After entering the village primary school, Hou Weidong saw that there were no outsiders, and said, "We should take multiple measures to deal with those nail households. If it is indeed reasonable demands, try to satisfy them. If it is really a nonsense, we should not be lenient. The county party committee and government are your strong backing. Of course, we should not act recklessly. We should analyze each specific situation in detail. I will personally go to see the nail households near the village primary school to see what their requirements are."

Liang Yong thought to himself: "Hou Weidong is really refreshing in his work, unlike some leaders who always speak in a foggy way, and only make requests and are unwilling to be responsible." He said: "Secretary Hou, let's go to Zhang Youcai's house next door, who is a relatively famous vegetable grower near Shuanghe."

Hou Weidongdao: "Okay, go to Zhang Youcai's house."

Liang Yong said hesitantly: "Secretary Hou, there is another thing I want to report to you. I have been to Shuanghe for ten days. Shuanghe is a relatively Xuanyu town, but the situation is not optimistic. After this time, the cadres did not complain and just asked to pay some wages."

Hou Weidong knew that many townships in Chengjin had defaulted on wages, so he asked: "How much wages did Shuanghe Town owe to?"

"The salary in 1999 was paid in March. From March, all the cadres in the organs only led a living expense of 100 yuan. When I arrived in Shuanghe, I was most worried about this matter. The foundation was rectified the year before, and the town also borrowed money from each organs. According to the level, it was 3,000 ordinary cadres, 5,000 middle-level cadres, and 8,000 first-level team. At that time, I was forced to borrow money, and the comrades had a lot of opinions."

Since the reform of the fiscal and taxation system, the financial resources of the townships have become increasingly tense. Hou Weidong knew this very well. He had no good plans for the moment to solve the problem and said, "Write a detailed report on this matter to me and try to be as accurate as possible."

Secretary Du Bing walked over with his cell phone and said, "Secretary Hou, I just received a notice from the Municipal Party Committee Office. Secretary Zhu asked you to go to the Municipal Party Committee immediately."
