Zhu Zhangshan of the Shanxi Political and Legal Committee and Sun Mingli of the Land and Resources Bureau belonged to two different camps. Zhu Zhangshan had always been close to the Provincial Party Committee Secretary Si Maping, while Sun Mingli was considered to be Governor Wei Xiushan's man. But in this period of time, the relationship between the two of them had become much closer. First, the public security, the people's procuratorate and the people's court in Taiyuan City had been removed, and then the entire public security, the people's procuratorate and the people's court in Shanxi had been removed. The two heads of the Political and Legal Committee and the Land Bureau had no choice but to cooperate fully. But when they actually worked together, they realized that the other party was not as bad as they thought.
After work, Sun Mingli, who came out of the conference room and saw that there was no one around, said to Zhu Zhangshan, "Old Zhu, let's go out for dinner tonight?"
Sun Mingli thought about it and sighed. "If we go out to eat, we'll have to find a seat. My house is close, let's go to my house for dinner. "
This was really a great display of goodwill. The economy had been developing well for more than 20 years. The rapid development of the city gave rise to a large number of restaurants, and people who were not short of money rarely invited people to their homes for a meal. If he wasn't facing someone he truly felt close to, he basically wouldn't invite others to his house for a meal.
Of course, Sun Mingli did not reject Zhu Zhangshan's offer. He replied, "Alright, you go first. I'll be a little later."
When Zhu Zhangshan welcomed Sun Mingli into his house, he realized that Sun Mingli was carrying a few catties of braised beef. Handing the beef to Madame Zhu, who was standing beside Zhu Zhangshan, Sun Mingli said with a smile, "I feel that the Chen's beef at the end of the street is not bad. I don't know if you like it."
"Is it the one next to Liu Ji's?" Madame Zhu asked as if she was familiar with the place.
"That's the one. There are so many people. I almost couldn't get in the queue," Sun Mingli said with a smile.
Zhu Furen went to cook. The two masters went to the study and sat down. They closed the door and opened the window. Sitting by the window, they began to smoke and chat. Sun Mingli sighed and said, "In the past, I really didn't know how powerful you were. I only knew that you were amazing. After listening to you discuss work this time, I finally understand why you always make seemingly contradictory requests. "
Although this statement was vague, Zhu Zhangshan, who attended the meeting, understood it. He took a puff of smoke and nodded. "It looks simple, but it's not. It doesn't look simple, but it's clear about the responsibility. It's not like it's the kind of method that forces people to die. "
In the end, the discussion on whether the agricultural technicians should be assigned to different fields had turned into a discussion on whether the leaders of each village should be established. This change in topic was something that Shanxi had never experienced in recent years. As long as the system was involved, especially the issue of ownership, Shanxi would habitually turn into an internal struggle. The internal struggle would eventually turn into wrangling, and the discussion would eventually end without any progress.
This time, the situation was different. As the advisor, Vézé first raised the various problems that the "agricultural leader" would encounter. For example, taking the lead might not necessarily be successful. This was not empty nonsense. After the commander-in-chief investigated the responsibilities of the agricultural technology department, he found that these technicians were only promoters of scientific research institutions, or even just sellers. There was not enough practice and not enough theory. In the end, it could only be described as "unprofessional".
The technical personnel were not professional, and the farmers' problem was that they "did not understand." If he wanted the farmers to understand and the technicians to be professional, they needed to learn from each other and help each other. In this regard, Vézé's evaluation was "a lot of investment, a lot of effort, but it is difficult to be regarded as a political achievement."
When Vézé said "unprofessional" and "did not understand," the people of the Shanxi Provincial Party Committee only thought that the Military Governor Vaize was not stupid. When Vézé clearly pointed out that it was difficult to be regarded as a political achievement, all the officials finally understood that the commander-in-chief's understanding of officialdom and the government was far deeper than they thought.
As the Military Governor Vaize said in the course of the discussion, no matter how professional and clear it was, it could not withstand a flood or drought. Even in a good year, it was impossible for the grain production to increase limitlessly. The natural conditions of Shanxi were indeed not as good as those large agricultural provinces. The Great Plains of the Northeast, the Great Plains of the Huanghuai River, the Great Plains of North America, and the delta area of the South could use the best technology and machinery. Compared to Shanxi, the production efficiency could be called insane.
When Shanxi carried out the agricultural leadership policy, it would face countless mistakes and inevitable failures. Even if it took a few years to complete the initial promotion, it was impossible for Shanxi to make a fundamental breakthrough in agriculture. From the perspective of officialdom, this kind of input-output ratio was too low. It was difficult to regard it as a political achievement and the foundation for the next step of promotion.
The little corner of his heart that he could not let others see was suddenly pointed out so bluntly. The head of the Department of Agriculture almost had the urge to commit suicide in public, and the mood of the others was also very unstable. The commander-in-chief did not accuse the people of Shanxi of being bastards, nor did he threaten them with dismissal. In a calm tone, Vézé said to the very uneasy cadres, "It's normal to have this kind of thinking. What does it mean? I walked around Shanxi and felt that the comrades of Shanxi all want Shanxi to become better. I've never met a single person who wants to mess up Shanxi if he can do it, but I don't want to do it. Now, this problem can probably be described as having the will but not the strength. They haven't done it before and don't know how to do it. When they see that the investment is so big and the process is so tortuous, it's normal to want to retreat. Strength is something that is tempered. No one is born with it. "
Sun Mingli was very shocked. The reason why he had asked Zhu Zhangshan to talk about this was that he seemed to have a ball of fire in his heart. However, this problem could not be discussed with Wei Xiushan and the others. Sun Mingli was very clear about Wei Xiushan's thoughts. During this period of time, the big internal struggle had completely revolved around the competition for the leadership of Shanxi. Talking to Wei Xiushan about this was a bit of a slap in the face.
"The commander-in-chief is right. Now that I think about it, there are many times when I really don't want to do it. Since there isn't much success, I have to take such a big risk and bear so much responsibility. I have nothing better to do, so I have to persist. " Sun Mingli was speaking from the bottom of his heart. He had never thought about messing up Shanxi and messing up the work. However, in order not to make mistakes, Sun Mingli could only refuse to participate in the work that was prone to mistakes. In the process, Sun Mingli also experienced a change from being unwilling to be at ease.
After all, he was in the political and legal affairs committee, so Zhu Zhangshan's logical thinking was more meticulous. He did not quite agree with Sun Mingli's statement. "What the commander-in-chief wants to say now is probably to define the standard for making a mistake. Is it a mistake when trying according to the laws of science, or is there a problem with his original idea, so he deliberately made a problem? This is a standard question. For example, when determining the nature of homicide cases, there are two kinds: intentional homicide and involuntary homicide. Involuntary homicide is generally not punishable by death. If it is intentional homicide, unless the killed party also has a major responsibility, it is basically punishable by death. As for our Shanxi … hehe … "
Zhu Zhangshan himself was a key figure in Sima Ping's faction. In the face of Sun Mingli, the pillar of the other faction, this "hehe" could be said to be meaningful.
"Can you stop talking nonsense and just do the work well?" Sun Mingli asked Zhu Zhangshan.
Zhu Zhangshan took two more puffs of his cigarette and said with some embarrassment, "You and I can only do the work that we can manage now. For example, the task of splitting up the Public Security, Inspection and Judiciary Department. If we two brothers cooperate, there won't be a problem. It's useless to talk about things that are not under our control. "
Sun Mingli could understand Zhu Zhangshan's attitude very well. The secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and the director of the Land and Resources Bureau were both not low positions. If the two of them did not want to get involved in the factional struggle, they could. However, the other departments did not have such a good thing. Because they were directly under the control of the provincial governor or the secretary of the provincial party committee, it was extremely difficult for them to stay out of it.
It would be very troublesome to continue talking about this problem, so Sun Mingli changed the topic back to the "rural leaders" mentioned by the Military Governor Of Vaize. "Old Zhu, do you think this matter can be carried out?"
Zhu Zhangshan stared at Sun Mingli for a moment. He actually had some doubts about whether Sun Mingli also wanted to fish out some political benefits from this. However, from his expression, he could not tell anything. After all, this was not interrogating a criminal, and many technical methods could be used. In the end, Zhu Zhangshan chose a very conventional answer. "There will definitely be no problem carrying it out. The commander-in-chief said clearly that whether to treat this as a political achievement or to do it as work, there is a big difference between the two. If the purpose of doing it is to seek political achievements, it would be strange if five to ten years of work was completed in three years. "The commander-in-chief sees the problem so clearly and presents the results like presenting a treasure. I don't think we can fool the commander-in-chief."
"I think so too," Sun Mingli replied as he nodded. He did have an instinctive urge to take advantage of the situation, but the Military Governor Of Vaize's familiarity with the officialdom made him feel afraid. All kinds of ambitions and uneasiness about the future mixed together, making Sun Mingli feel at a loss.
However, Sun Mingli quickly broke free from this situation of worrying about personal gains and losses. He was no longer a teenager. Some things were not easy to do well, but it was too easy to do badly. If the Military Governor Of Vaize had not proposed the idea of rural leaders, there was no hope that Shanxi could come up with such a thing on its own. Even if the Military Governor Of Vaize had made this suggestion, whether Shanxi could carry it out was also a problem. This had nothing to do with good or evil. Just as the commander-in-chief said, even if it was done well, there was no way it could become a political achievement. If he wanted to achieve results, the cooperation between him and Zhu Zhangshan on the separation of the compound was the right way.
At this time, Zhu Zhangshan's wife had prepared a meal and called the two of them to eat. Zhu Zhangshan and Sun Mingli did not mention this trap. They ate and talked, focusing all their energy on the separation of the compound. It was very comfortable to cooperate with people who understood, not to mention that it was a good thing to do and could create a more comfortable life for many people at the grassroots level.
Wei Xiushan and the Shanxi Provincial Committee cadres were not idle. The plan proposed by Vézé was difficult in the eyes of others, but to Wei Xiushan, it was like a pie falling from the sky. The governor was personally handling this matter, and it was a plan proposed by the commander-in-chief. This was enough for Wei Xiushan to use this project to deeply entrench his power in Shanxi.
Like Wei Xiushan, Sima Ping also came up with a plan to integrate Shanxi's coal mines. This plan almost exhausted Sima Ping's energy. The huge negative effects of the work made Sima Ping have no choice but to scold his son Sima Ji several times a day to relieve the mental pressure.
Although he scolded him, Sima Ping also felt that after so long, he could finally arrange for his suspended son to work. As long as the commander-in-chief agreed to this plan, or even if he did not agree to it immediately, as long as the plan was passed in Shanxi, Sima Ji could join the new working group and get rid of his current situation of being in charge.
When Sima Ping returned home, he did not see his son Sima Ji. He was in a good mood and did not ask. At around 10 o 'clock in the evening, after reviewing the plan again, Sima Ping was ready to go to bed. However, there was a knock on the door. Sima Ping did not know who was looking for him in the middle of the night. When he heard his wife asking him to open the door, Sima Ping did not want to move.
In less than a minute, the door to the study opened. People from the Central Guards Regiment appeared at the door. They were led by the deputy commander of the Guards Regiment. The deputy commander's face was as cold as frost. Without waiting for Sima Ping to speak, he opened an official document and said sternly, "Sima Ping, come with us."
