Rebirth of Minister Qi - Chapter 847: Showing Good Will to Sha Ruijin
Rebirth of Minister Qi
Chapter 847: Showing Good Will to Sha RuijinThe fat secretary almost cried when he heard this. These words were said by the deputy secretary of the higher-level disciplinary inspection commission, and he was no joke. The deterrent power was even greater than that of the provincial party secretary, because that was his job.
"Secretary Qi, this, this, this is the land that was just purchased and stored in May this year."
Qi Tongwei didn't want to get entangled in this matter, as it was a common phenomenon across the country.
“It happened this month. In such a short period of time, you were really quick. You took the land from the farmers and filled it with earth in just a few days.
The change of use must not have been completed yet.”
As a grassroots cadre, Qi Tongwei couldn't say any profound truths because it was meaningless. He had his responsibilities and Qi Tongwei had his own position.
Qi Tongwei knew the information he wanted, and without giving the local cadres a chance to explain, he turned directly to Sha Ruijin and said.
"Secretary Sha, that's enough here. Let's go to those counties."
Sha Ruijin originally wanted to help and make excuses, but Qi Tongwei was so swift and decisive that he got the information he wanted in just a few minutes and a few words and was ready to leave. The words Sha Ruijin had prepared were like a fist hitting the water, with no effect at all. Instead, he was dragged along the whole time. It was not a good feeling.
They came and went in a hurry. The group got back into the car and the two Coasters sped away. Several local cadres were still standing there in a daze, not knowing what to do.
However, a deputy spoke up immediately.
"Secretary, Mayor, I think we should quickly return this batch of land for storage and turn it back into arable land."
The two chief officers came back to their senses after hearing this.
"Yes, yes, mayor, let's take action immediately and restore all the land that has been purchased and stored this year but has not yet been converted into arable land.
Replant the seedlings, quickly, quickly."
But not now, they still have to keep up with the pace of the two Coasters, in case the leaders do not follow the rules and still stroll around in their jurisdiction. They can only follow them to the county border and confirm that the two cars have gone to other counties. Only then will they turn back to arrange the work of restoring arable land.
Their actions were quick, but their repetitive policies actually made life difficult for the grassroots cadres who implemented them and wasted taxpayers' money.
On the highway, a Coaster was speeding and the scenery on both sides was receding. Qi Tongwei's gaze lingered on the yellow farmland for a long time, until new scenery occupied his sight, and he suddenly smiled.
"Secretary Sha, shall we make a bet?"
Qi Tongwei turned around and talked to Sha Ruijin. Sha Ruijin was really helpless with Qi Tongwei. He had heard that this young leader did things completely unconventionally, but only when he really met him did he realize how difficult he was.
"Deputy Secretary Qi, please speak."
"Don't be so polite, we are old colleagues.
Do you think that the land in this county will be reclaimed and restored to farmland within a week?"
Upon hearing this, Sha Ruijin sighed secretly. This was absolutely certain. He had worked as a deputy county magistrate, as well as the county party secretary and municipal party secretary. How could he not know the ills at the grassroots level? Sometimes he was forced to obey orders rather than facts just to keep his official hat.
"Then you, Deputy Secretary Qi, will definitely win. Within a week, all the arable land in the county that has not yet completed the change procedures will be cleared and turned into arable land again. Maybe new seedlings will be planted on it.
They will definitely invite officials from the Department of Agriculture to inspect the products.”
Qi Tongwei burst into laughter when he heard it.
“Yes, we have all been grassroots cadres and know the frustration of being at the grassroots level.
Land is an essential resource for economic development. As policies are about to be tightened, it is inevitable that we will have to grab a batch of land reserves in advance.
However, we are in a high position and we can restrain them with the overall situation in mind. In order to keep their official hats, they will definitely do things over and over again that are difficult for the masses to understand.
Fundamentally, I still hope that your provincial government can explain the policy direction in a timely manner, rather than being ambiguous and causing grassroots governments to waste resources.
The important task of the provincial government is to unconditionally obey the general direction of the central government while taking into account the local realities.”
Sha Ruijin wanted to explain himself, but Qi Tongwei reached out to stop him. Secretary Qi's style was much more arbitrary than Sha Ruijin's in his previous life.
“Don’t get me wrong, I’m not accusing your provincial government of inaction.
But I am reminding you on my own behalf.
The higher-ups certainly don't want to see this kind of chaos happening below. This kind of thing will cause a natural period of confusion between the grassroots governments' own grassroots interests and the general direction of the country, and everyone's thinking certainly hasn't changed yet.
At this time, your provincial government is needed to explain the policies, provide correct guidance, and coordinate the steps of hundreds of county-level governments across the province.
Instead of moving the left foot to the right and the right foot to the left, pulling each other back.
Now that the Handong work has been assigned to you, you must also hope to make a career out of it.
For us personally, we also hope that ordinary people can be less troubled and that taxpayers' money can be used effectively instead of being wasted over and over again.
As long as you can do a good job in Handong Province's coordinated collection and storage of arable land and protection of arable land, I believe the leaders above will definitely look at you differently."
Since there is no way to stop Sha Ruijin from becoming the governor, it is better to do good to him now. Maybe it will be useful in the future.
The most important thing is that Sha Ruijin and Qi Tongwei are not in a competitive relationship at this time. If Qi Tongwei wants to go to the local level, he will definitely be the top leader, or the top leader of an important ministry, while Sha Ruijin still has to experience the position of governor, plus there is an age gap between the two.
"What Deputy Secretary Qi said is true. I will carefully consider how to balance the grassroots work while completing the general direction from above.
Thank you. "
Sha Ruijin was sincere in what he said. He could feel that Qi Tongwei was standing on the central position and giving him advice. Although Qi Tongwei's main purpose should be to hope that the people of Handong Province would suffer less and waste less taxpayers' money, he also really gave Sha Ruijin the focus of his next work. Sha Ruijin could tell whether it was true or false in an instant.
The two of them got along very well for the rest of the trip, and after inspecting several prepared locations, the day was almost over.
That night, Qi Tongwei stayed in a guesthouse in the county under the jurisdiction of Yantai City and did not follow their arrangement to go to a hotel in the city.
"Secretary Sha, let's just stay in the county. We have to start a new journey early tomorrow morning.
Now that you have come to the grassroots, you should feel the grassroots ecology.
Otherwise, every time you go to the grassroots to conduct research, you will see people paving the roads with yellow earth and pouring clean water on the streets. How much of the real situation can you see? "
