As a man with a family, Xiafeng certainly wanted to go shopping with his wife and children, go to gardens, and watch lantern shows. But as the director of the Political and Legal Committee, Xiafeng didn't rest during the Spring Festival. Piles of things kept coming at him, and he was overwhelmed. For example, Xiafeng originally thought that the matter would be settled after the judicial system released the workers. But the latest news he heard was that the traffic police team detained some of the released workers again.
The Min dynasty placed great emphasis on institutional construction. According to the system, the traffic police team could detain cars, but they didn't even have the power to temporarily detain people if they weren't driving under the influence. Now that the traffic police team detained people, Xiafeng almost intuitively smelled something unusual. Did someone in the government dare to set up a "private court"?
Of course, the director of the Political and Legal Committee, Zhao Sishui, was calm. When Xiafeng reported the situation to him, Zhao Sishui only said one sentence, "Ignore him for now. We'll talk to him when they transfer these people to the judicial system. Before that, you are not allowed to mention anything related to this. "
Xiafeng admired his superior's order very much. The person who could make the traffic police team do this must be someone important. Since that was the case, the Political and Legal Committee had no reason to force them. After all, this little trick still belonged to the gray area, and it wasn't completely unreasonable to argue. But if the other party still cared about the system, they would hand over the detained workers to the judicial system soon. That would be the time for the struggle. Presumably, the person who gave the order to detain them would also feel that something was wrong.
Just as Xiafeng had imagined, Zhou Zhengxiong did feel that something was wrong. He ordered the traffic police team to arrest the workers, and the traffic police team, which was under the control of the provincial party committee, detained the workers. But the traffic police team only had the power to make an inquiry. These workers were easy to bluff, and they spilled the beans as soon as they were asked. But the content was the same as what they said in the Political and Legal Committee, that the factory owed them wages, and they wanted to collect the money for the Spring Festival. As for the blocking of the road, they just knelt on the ground and didn't know this would happen.
The traffic police knew very well that this was the truth, exactly the same as what the traffic police team knew. For the traffic police, arresting people was originally due to pressure from the higher-ups. These people had neither the need nor the motivation to concoct a crime. The captain of the traffic police team did not dare to let them go, but he was also unwilling to do more. He put the matter aside.
However, the wind would not stop even if the tree desired peace. The captain of the traffic police brigade, who had gone to the streets to maintain law and order, wanted to hide. If he wasn't at work, he could always choose not to answer the phone. However, Zhou Zhengxiong still sent his secretary to find the captain and asked him to report to him. With an uneasy mood, the captain slowly went to the provincial party committee. When he arrived at the door, he found that Zhou Zhengxiong was talking about work with someone. The traffic police team leader was slightly relieved. He hoped that Zhou Zhengxiong could talk about work without any restrictions. It would be better if he didn't care about this matter at all.
The person discussing work with Zhou Zhengxiong was the governor, Liu Sixian. Naturally, the topic was the most important economic issue. "Old Zhou, the banks are not willing to lend us any more money, and the Provincial Government's work cannot be carried out. There was a problem with this year's work arrangements, and he had to return the funds he had just embezzled. Once we pay them back, we won't have any money left. "
"Which units are asking for money?" Zhou Zhengxiong asked with a black face. The main reason why he had used such harsh methods was because he was afraid this problem would spread. This time, Liu Sixian did not mention the deduction of workers' salaries. At least, he did not directly provoke Zhou Zhengxiong. If Liu Sixian also mentioned this problem to the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, Zhao Sishui, Zhou Zhengxiong would have reached his limit. He would probably shout: "Isn't I doing this for your government?"
The Party Committee Secretary was in charge of the Party affairs and the general direction of politics. The government departments were in charge of the specific administration. Therefore, the Party Committee itself did not owe anyone money because the Party Committee did not care about money. The ones who owed money were the government and the governor's gang. Of course, Liu Sixian knew this problem very well. The reason why he did not get involved in Zhou Zhengxiong's efforts was mainly because he did not know what to say. What should he do? Everyone had to have a conscience. Zhou Zhengxiong was trying to solve the problems encountered in the province and not the Party Committee's problems.
"Now, the principals of the various schools have some opinions. They feel that the money owed to the Ministry of Education is in arrears for a long time. I hope you can fill in the teacher's salary first. "Liu Sixian picked the most serious problem and said it first.
"The government is in trouble. Can't they be more understanding?" Things were going according to Zhou Zhengxiong's expectations. Zhou Zhengxiong said angrily. He could only say angrily. Hubei's local economic situation had deteriorated for two years, and the method of robbing Peter to pay Paul had reached its limit. At this time, there were still people who did not understand the difficulties of the province and only cared about themselves. Zhou Zhengxiong was not satisfied with this method.
Liu Sixian sighed. He also did not know what to say. Liu Sixian's wife was also a teacher, and her salary was also in arrears. But it was fine during the New Year. But after the New Year, he realized that something was wrong. Since the last day before the New Year, his wife's face had turned black. This was the first time in all these years that this happened. Of course, Liu Sixian's family did not lack money. Since Liu Sixian was responsible for the family's income and did not need his wife's salary to support the family's livelihood, his wife's salary had always been for her own use. Liu Sixian had never asked his wife about her salary. Now, Liu Sixian knew that his wife's negative emotions were accumulating because she did not have money. With this kind of empathy, Liu Sixian also felt that things could not go on like this. Too many families were completely dependent on their salary to survive. Once their salary was cut off, it meant that many families had no source of income.
More importantly, this was not the normal situation. Those state-owned enterprises were still doing well. Not only were their salaries not affected, but their year-end bonuses were also still there. In comparison, the days of the provincial enterprises were especially bleak. His wife was unhappy, and Liu Sixian was happy to come to work. But sitting in the office could not solve the problem, and the provincial enterprises could not find a way to solve it. Zhou Zhengxiong had an unyielding personality, and he could use all kinds of methods to hold on. Liu Sixian thought of all kinds of ways but could not find a way to hold on. The method of robbing Peter to pay Paul could only last for a while, but it could not last forever.
These days, Liu Sixian had also been struggling internally. Seeing that Zhou Zhengxiong was still holding on to the end, Liu Sixian finally could not help but say, "Old Zhou, let's look for the commander-in-chief or the State Council."
When he said this, his tone was soft enough. It was not so much a suggestion, but more like a soft plea. Zhou Zhengxiong became agitated as if he had been scalded by a soldering iron. He said strongly, "No! We can't do this! "
"Now, as long as the bank can release some money, we can get through this. Let's get through this first. "Liu Sixian continued to persuade him.
"Silly!" Zhou Zhengxiong said loudly, but there was no anger in his tone. "Back then, we patted our chests and said to the commander-in-chief that we would definitely manage the enterprise well and make Hubei better. Now, if we go to the commander-in-chief for help, we will be slapping our own faces. Ask Levis for help? That guy has been waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves for a long time. Are we so shameless? "
Li Sixian was able to make such a suggestion naturally not on a whim. After listening to Zhou Zhengxiong, Li Sixian said, "Old Zhou, face can't be eaten. If we can solve it, we can grit our teeth and get through this difficult juncture. I'm afraid we can't solve the current situation by ourselves. I also asked some factory directors, and they all said the same thing. A few years ago, we levied too much tax on the factory, so we couldn't upgrade the equipment in the factory. Now that other companies have used the new equipment, the products they make are better than ours, and the price is also lower. This is not a problem that can be solved by simply reorganizing the factory. If we don't have the money to upgrade the equipment and carry out the relevant training. The gap between our products and others will only get worse. "
Zhou Zhengxiong also knew these problems. He replied, "I've thought about it. In the end, it's still about money. As long as we can solve the source of the money, we can get through this. "
"Where are you going to get the money?" Liu Sixian felt an ominous atmosphere. He had come up with a lot of plans that could make money, many of which had been used. The rest of the useless plans were the ones that the provincial party committee felt should not be so excessive. Given Zhou Zhengxiong's character, he would only be stubborn at this juncture.
After all, after working together for so long, Liu Sixian's premonition had come true. Zhou Zhengxiong said, "We can only save the factories one by one, so we first decide to save the factories that are similar to the ones outside. All the consumer goods from other provinces must first be taken off the shelves in Hubei. We must first sell the same kind of goods from Hubei. "
This kind of local trade protectionism was even predicted by the Military Governor Of Vaize before his death, and was also opposed by the Military Governor Of Vaize. However, it was thanks to the education of the Military Governor Of Vaize that the provinces had a clear and systematic understanding of this. Zhou Zhengxiong's actions made Liu Sixian feel that this guy was really unyielding.
"All the enterprises must start to reorganize and train. We must not let the enterprises fall apart. Close the training and don't let them come in contact with the outside world. "This was Zhou Zhengxiong's second method. The enterprises were not serfs. The serfs were bound to the land by the feudal system and couldn't move. The only thing that maintained the relationship between the enterprise and its employees was a paper contract. If the employees insisted on leaving, the enterprise couldn't do anything about it. In a sense, Zhou Zhengxiong would rather endure the salary arrears than let the enterprise's employees leave. This was a very far-sighted approach. No enterprise could exist alone. What allowed the enterprise to survive and develop was the people, not the name of the enterprise. If a large number of employees left, especially a large number of key personnel, the enterprise would only exist in name. As long as one had been a senior soldier, one could understand this truth. An army made up entirely of new recruits would not have any fighting strength. Only an army led by an outstanding backbone could be invincible. This required time to train, and it required battlefield tempering, elimination, and screening.
"In addition, these current factory directors should be removed slowly. They can't be relied on. We have to think of a way to get back those who have raised objections in the past. "Zhou Zhengxiong explained his plan.
"Can we get money by doing this?" Liu Sixian still hadn't heard the solution to the key problem.
"Yes! The other methods will definitely work! "Zhou Zhengxiong replied.
"What methods?" Liu Sixian pricked up his ears and prepared to listen.
