After becoming a county-level chief official, he often becomes involuntarily. He works in Shazhou this year and may be transferred to Tiezhou next year and may be transferred to Maoyun the year after.

In the feudal period, there was a tradition of becoming an official in other places. The biggest advantage of being an official in other places is that it facilitates central dispatch and control and prevents local forces from being formed.

The disadvantage is that it forms "the officials have no feudalism but the officials have feudalism."

"Feudalism" in Chinese history refers to a political system of feudal states and vassals and division of lords. This system design not only involves the meaning of a small group with blood or quasi-blood relationships that jointly resist risks based on common interests, but also includes the meaning of a small group sitting on the ground to divide the spoils and not allowing others to intervene.

The biggest flaw of the feudal system is that the relatives who were enfeoffed may become enlarged over time and begin to covet greater interests, thus threatening the highest power, and thus leading to war and division. After the implementation of the county system, county officials tend to regard the county under their jurisdiction and serve their own private territory, which means that a new problem of "officials have feudalism".

In order to avoid "official feudalism", the term system and the avoidance system must be implemented. The term system requires an official not to serve in one place for too long, and the avoidance system requires officials not to serve in their hometowns and neighboring areas. Two people with blood relationships cannot serve in the same department or local area. The original intention is to avoid forming power and affect the smooth flow of central government orders.

These measures make an official who is often transferred to another place when he is not very familiar with government affairs after he is not very familiar with government affairs. Therefore, he has to rely on officials who are more familiar with the situation than he is. Strengthen supervision and strictly handle business procedures. The purpose is to regulate the government behavior of officials, but the result is to cause cumbersome clerks and complex laws and regulations. Officials are not familiar with laws and regulations and have no energy to deal with cumbersome clerks. They have to rely on officials to do business. All of this leaves a broad space for officials to do it. Therefore, officials who are not smart and capable are often led by the clerks and their power is also lost to the clerks.

The current political system is very different from the feudal period, but after all, it has path dependence and has absorbed reasonable practices in the feudal period. Any model has its pros and cons, and being an official in another place is just a manifestation of governance. If you really want to violate the law and discipline deep down in your heart, there is no essential difference between the other place and the local area in modern transportation and information environments.

Local officials in Maoyun are often not transferred, and they work in the same place for a long time, forming a complicated relationship. Hou Weidong has not been working in Maoyun for a short time. He has already realized that the relationship between officials and businessmen is so complicated that it makes people sigh.

Shortly after taking office, he met Tian Bing, the section chief of the State Real Estate Bureau. After being transferred from the Municipal State Real Estate Bureau, he became the deputy director of the County State Real Estate Bureau in the following county. This is not called a handling, but promotion.

Hou Weidong was the mayor. However, due to many constraints, at least in the matter of Tian Bing, he and Yuan Zhengjun, secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, each took a step back.

Tian Bing was transferred from the Municipal State Housing Bureau, and Yuan Zhengjun took a step back.

By default, Tian Bing was the deputy director of the County State Housing Bureau, Hou Weidong took a step back.

"Every family has a difficult sutra to remember." Thinking of these things, Hou Weidong sighed.

After he and Xiaojia called, he sat in the bedroom without turning on the lights or the TV. He turned on the phone to mute it and enjoyed being alone.

In modern society, it is extremely comfortable and extremely rare to be in the world, and to have the opportunity to give in and leave at night.

As Mayor Maoyun, Hou Weidong faced the complex situation and endless things, and had fewer opportunities to be alone with a clear mind. Therefore, he enjoyed the state of being sober and alone.

The next day was still busy, and the whole day was going on. In the afternoon, Hou Weidong turned down all dinners and social events and resolutely returned to Shazhou.

As long as his tone was a little soft, he might have to stay in Maoyun again. Or as long as the person was still in Maoyun, he might have various relationships to find him. Therefore, as soon as the time for get off work arrived, Hou Weidong called Yan Chunping and left the office.

Hou Weidong received a call from Xiaojia in the car.

Xiaojia said apologetically: "Husband, I'm so embarrassed. Secretary Ning inspected Linjiang County, and I really can't leave."

Hou Weidong smiled and said, "I am an old husband and wife, why should I be so polite? People can't help but be in the world, so when you said you wanted to be the deputy county magistrate, I subconsciously opposed it."

Xiaojia said: "I can't bear to hear that you are going to be transferred to Maoyun, but I am a little happy. I have been shrouded in your light for many years and have been called Secretary Hou and Mayor Hou's wife. Now I can finally be called County Mayor Zhang, no longer Mrs. Hou."

Hou Weidongdao: "Did the Shazhou officialdom forgot me so quickly?"

Xiaojia said: "It's cold for people to leave. It's better to take care of the county magistrates now. These two sentences are the truth. Although you have become the top mayor of Maoyun, after all, you can't decide the fate of Shazhou officials after all, so everyone will forget you."

Hou Weidong sighed: "It's not good to marry a wife who is a county magistrate, it's too profound."

Xiaojia said: "This is also because people are in the world and cannot help themselves. They have to contact so many people every day, with subordinates, leaders, and all walks of life. If they don't take their eyes and learn the poison, they will be deceived."

Hou Weidong said: "Don't think about home. I'll go home to my mother's place. When you come back, you can call me."

Marrying a female county magistrate has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that you can understand each other, and the disadvantage is that you spend less time at home.

The car was very fast on the highway, but it was very stable. Hou Weidong leaned against the car and gradually fell asleep. In the past, he always dreamed of some intense plots, such as fighting, having sex, jumping on trees, and being chased by the Japanese. Now he also dreamed, and his dreams became more fragmented, like the previous stream of consciousness novels.

As soon as the car entered Shazhou, Hou Weidong woke up from his sleep. He looked at the familiar scenery on the street and said, "Here."

Yan Chunping, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned around and said, "Just entering the city. Have you been walking around the city?"

"Let's go around."

Shazhou is Hou Weidong's hometown, and it was also the place where he lived and fought. Although he had left Shazhou and came to Maoyun, he still could not downplay the plot in Shazhou in a short period of time. Yan Chunping followed Hou Weidong for a long time, and knew his mood quite well, so he proposed to go around.

Hou Weidong looked at his watch and said, "Let's go around."

The car drove from Dongcheng District to Xicheng District and then to the Southern New District. The southern New District is still the same, and there is no major change. It took more than half an hour before the car returned to the Crescent Tower.

"Third brother, why don't you call in advance when you are home?" Liu Guangfen opened the door. He was naturally very happy to see his third son coming home.

Hou Weidong felt his mother's expression was exhausted, his face was pale under the light, and he was secretly shocked. He did not show any abnormality in front of his mother and said, "Call in advance, you have to wait for me to come home. But emergencies often happen. I can't say whether I can come back on time."

Liu Guangfen said dissatisfiedly: "The US president is in charge of more things than you, and others will have to take a vacation."

Hou Weidong sat on the sofa, picked up an unsharpened fruit, and nibbled it out.

Liu Guangfen said: "I'll help you rinse it later." She took the apple from her son and went to the kitchen to rinse it.

Doing things for your son is that all mothers like to do things. Hou Weidong deliberately does not treat his mother as a patient and maintains his previous habits.

Liu Guangfen looked at her son eating apples with relief and said, "I think Xiaojia shouldn't be the deputy county magistrate. Now that she is middle-aged, she is separated from the two places. You are alone in Maoyun, and you are exhausted and you can't eat a bite of hot soup when you get home."

Hou Weidong smiled and said, "I can't eat a bit of hot soup. This is a bit exaggerated. I just need to speak, and there are many people who are willing to serve."

Liu Guangfen said: "I'm talking about the hot soup at home. What I eat outside is not a meal or a banquet. Also, when Xiaojia arrived in Linhai, Xiaoya handed over all of her son to her in-laws. The education of children is very important and must be arrested by her parents. It's not that the in-laws' education is not enough, but that the in-laws cannot replace the parents. You three are still promising now. It's because I devoted myself to educating you three at home back then."

After Hou Yonggui said a few words in the living room, he went to the kitchen to decoct herbs for his wife. The room soon filled with the smell of Chinese medicine. It always reminded people of the family's days in Linjiang County. At that time, they always thought that Western medicine had a great effect. They liked to use Chinese medicine for major and minor diseases. Since Hou Weidong worked, he rarely smelled the smell of Chinese medicine at home. After his mother got sick, the long-lost Chinese medicine smell appeared at home again.

Hou Weidong came to the kitchen when his mother went to the bathroom and said to his father: "Why do I think my mother is in a bad state?"

Hou Yonggui said in a low voice: "She has been suffering from chest pain these days, her blood sugar cannot be controlled, and her blood pressure is also high."

Hou Weidong said anxiously: "Why can you go to the hospital for examination?"

Hou Yonggui said: "I just went to the First Provincial Court for the inspection."

Hou Weidong felt angry at his father's slowness and said, "Even if he has undergone a follow-up examination, he should go to the hospital if he finds uncomfortable."

Hou Yonggui looked at the earthen clay pot that was decocting medicine with a concentration for a while and said for a while: "If you don't come back today, I will call you. I don't feel that the cancer cells are not controlled and have metastasized."

Hou Weidong felt his heart sinking. After his mother had the operation, he kept anesthesizing himself: "The operation was very successful, and his mother's disease was completely solved."

Reality is so ruthless that it slowly tear a hole in a beautiful fantasy.

The doorbell rang, and Hou Xiaoying and He Yong appeared at the door. Liu Guangfen came out of the bathroom and greeted his daughter and son-in-law happily outside the door. Hou Weidong looked outside and said, "Dad, do you know?" Hou Yonggui shook his head slowly and said, "I'm just guessing, I've only told you." Hou Weidong said, "No matter what the situation is, we must believe in the hospital and send my mother to the first hospital of the province tomorrow." Hou Yonggui said, "It won't work tomorrow. There are several teachers in the primary school where your mother taught before. She has been looking forward to chatting with her former colleagues."

Hou Weidong said: "Call my former colleagues and come back after my mother has finished checking."

Hou Yonggui said: "It is rare for old colleagues who have been there for decades. Your mother has been looking forward to this day for a long time. They will play for a day tomorrow and go to the province the day after tomorrow." He reminded: "Don't give your mother a breath, just say that the hospital notifies you to re-examination at any time."

After talking to his father, Hou Weidong became in a bad mood. He tried his best to keep his surface calm, greeted his second sister and brother-in-law, and sat together to chat.

He Yong did not expect to meet Hou Weidong at this time and said, "Weidong, how about Maoyun?"

Hou Weidong Road: "It's that. It's located in a mountainous area, with inconvenient transportation, underdeveloped industry, and unopen consciousness. If you want to promote work, it's like a mud bull entering the river, and all your energy is gone."

Over the years, under the halo of the two brothers of the Hou family, He Yong's business has been smooth sailing, especially after entering real estate, he quickly made money, which made him deeply aware of the magic of power. He held his increasingly fat belly and said complimentingly: "Wei Dong is different from other leaders, and will definitely bring new atmosphere to Maoyun." This sentence has both complimentary elements and real ideas.

Hou Weidong had been numb after hearing too many compliments. He still felt that hearing compliments at home was a little harsh and said, "Don't praise me, the higher the compliments you hold, the more painful it will fall."

Hou Xiaoying also rolled her eyes to her husband.

Hou Weidong said again: "What I just mentioned is Maoyun's shortcomings. In fact, Maoyun has many advantages, rich minerals and convenient transportation."

He Yong said: "There are so many luxury cars in Maoyun City, all of which are the mine owners' cars. But Maoyun City is so poorly built, so we should really plan it." He had long thought of Maoyun to do real estate, but the third brother has a strong personality and does not like to use his family within his jurisdiction, so he tested the third brother's tone.

Hou Weidong said bluntly: "If you want to build a silk factory in Maoyun, I welcome you with both hands. I will discuss the conditions for investment promotion with you in the name of Maoyun Municipal Government. If you want to build real estate in Maoyun, then come on, but you can't make trouble in my name. This is a firewall."

For Liu Guangfen, the palms and backs of hands are all flesh. This son-in-law is a little fat. It is generally good since marriage. At least there is no mess of women making trouble. She helped her son-in-law and said, "Third brother, this is at home, not in the office, so how can you speak hard."

He Yong was not angry at all and said with a smile: "Mom, this is called principled by the third brother. A leader without principles cannot go long, and a leader with principle can last for a long time. Over the years, the eldest brother and the third brother have never used their power for personal gain. However, my business is pretty good, and it is really a loss to the eldest brother and the third brother. No matter what I do in Shazhou, everyone will not make things difficult for me after knowing my identity." He laughed and said: "Now, even Xiaojia has become the deputy county magistrate. I decided to go back to Linjiang to develop, that is our hometown."

Hou Xiaoying said: "I heard that Teacher Zhang and the others are going to play at home. You haven't met for many years, so why did you suddenly make an appointment at home?"

Liu Guangfen said: "I used to meet often when I was in Linjiang. When I moved to Shazhou, my social relations with your father were completely broken and I became a lonely man."

Hou Xiaoying said: "Linjiang County teachers are making trouble for their salary, and Xiaojia happens to be in charge of education. Teacher Zhang and his group may have come for this."
