The next day, Chen Xing went to Dawu Town to check on the development of the new rural construction demonstration film. There were three new rural construction demonstration films in Ximen County, and one of them was located in Dawu Town. When Chen Xing asked his secretary to send the county's new rural construction materials to him, he subconsciously chose Dawu Town. The position of the Party Secretary of Dawu Town was still vacant, and Chen Xing was also worried about the candidate. It just so happened that there was also a new rural construction demonstration site in Dawu Town, so Chen Xing decided to come and have a look.
This was the true portrayal of Chen Xing and his team. Chen Xing never liked to mobilize a large number of people when he went to the grass-roots level for inspection. This time, Chen Xing still only brought his secretary and driver, as well as Wang Zhong, the director of the county government office, and Fang Xiao, the deputy county magistrate who accompanied Chen Xing for inspection, as well as his driver and secretary. A total of six people and two cars.
Chen Xing was now working in the County Party Committee, while Wang Zhong was still in the county government office. He was promoted by Chen Xing after Zhang Ming was transferred away. Chen Xing had always been very comfortable with Wang Zhong, and he also planned to transfer Wang Zhong to the County Party Committee. However, there was no suitable position for Wang Zhong in the County Party Committee. Of course, Chen Xing wanted to replace the current director of the County Party Committee, Qian Ming, with his own people. The position of the director of the County Party Committee Office was the chief butler of the entire County Party Committee. Chen Xing could not let the person who used to be used by Wang Dongchen sit in that position all the time. No matter how obedient Qian Ming was, he was still not as trustworthy as his own people. This was the cruel situation of officialdom. A change of ruler brings his own ministers.
When you are happy, you will have to be aware of the situation there. However, Qian Ming was still a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee. It was impossible for Chen Xing to change Qian Ming's position as soon as he arrived at the County Party Committee. Everything had to go through a process. However, it was obvious that once Chen Xing was transferred to the County Party Committee, Qian Ming, as a member of the Standing Committee and the director of the County Party Committee Office, was destined to be marginalized.
Before Chen Xing got in the car, he beckoned Fang Xiao to sit in his car, and Wang Zhong also sat in Fang Xiao's car. Fang Xiao had always been responsible for the development of the new rural construction demonstration site. Fang Xiao had also investigated the demonstration film in Dawu Town before, so he was familiar with the situation there. That was why he followed Chen Xing on this trip.
Secretary Chen was planning to visit them incognito. Fang Xiao joked with Chen Xing in the car. The way he addressed Chen Xing also changed with the change of Chen Xing's position, even though Chen Xing was still the county magistrate.
The senior official of the Central Committee had said that if the leaders didn't want to be investigated, they had to break the rules. They had to find out the truth in advance and launch a surprise attack. That was the only way they could get rid of all kinds of restraints. They could hear the truth and ask for the truth. I had asked the people in the office not to inform the town governments. I wanted to see the real situation of the demonstration film by myself. I didn't want to see only the glamorous demonstration film. Chen Xing said with a smile.
Fang Xiao nodded. Chen Xing was telling the truth. The difficulties that the leaders encountered in the process of investigation were almost the same. When they listened to the reports in the meetings, they all had the same standard answers. If they wanted to go deeper to understand the situation, they couldn't get out of the invisible 'wall' formed by the pedestrian street, the river road, and the big square. The problems were always buried under the wall, unable to sink to the surface. Many leaders wanted to go deep into the reality, to the grassroots, and to the masses, but most of them were just empty words.
In the past, when Fang Xiao came down to investigate, he often told the town government leaders and then went to the demonstration film. Fang Xiao had thought about whether he had been deceived, but he had more or less faced this problem with a passive attitude. There were very few leaders like Chen Xing who were willing to take it seriously. Fang Xiao was also a leader who was willing to do something practical. However, due to some internal and external factors, Fang Xiao couldn't be as serious as Chen Xing. He was just a leader with no background. If he was too serious, it would not be good for him.
In my opinion, if we want to develop Ximen County, we should develop some rural economy with local characteristics. If the farmers become rich, that would be good. We should vigorously develop the economy for the benefit of the people, right? As the car moved forward, Chen Xing turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window. There were many villages on both sides of the town road. Smoke curled up from kitchen chimneys, blue sky, and clear water. To put it nicely, this was a clean land without all kinds of pollution brought about by the modernization of the city. Looking at the villages and fields on both sides, the idyllic scenery was pleasant, but the low adobe houses also showed the poverty of the villages.
"If the town economy wants to develop, the traffic is the first problem that must be solved. This year, thanks to the financial funds that Secretary Huang provided, the county's investment in traffic construction is the sum of the past three years. Next year, we should be able to see the preliminary results." Fang Xiao knew some specific data very well.
"The whole county will strive to achieve the goal of connecting all the villages with roads in the next two years. This is a big project for Ximen County, which is related to the economic development of the whole county. Deputy County Magistrate Fang, the government must pay attention to this work." Chen Xing said to Fang Xiao seriously and seriously. Chen Xing's current work focus had undoubtedly been transferred to the Party Committee. As for the county government, he needed to delegate power appropriately. After he resigned from the position of County Magistrate, Chen Xing was bound to delegate more power. If Fang Xiao took over the position of County Magistrate, Chen Xing did not have to worry that Fang Xiao would not cooperate with him.
Even if he had to sell everything he had, he would achieve the goal of connecting all the villages with roads in two years. Fang Xiao made a military pledge. Hearing Chen Xing's words, Fang Xiao's mood suddenly surged. He did not know that Chen Xing had recommended him to the higher-ups for the position of County Magistrate, but Chen Xing's words indirectly revealed some information. How could Fang Xiao remain calm?
Now that Chen Xing was the Secretary of the County Magistrate, he had completely grasped the power of the Party and government. But this situation would only last for a while. It was inevitable that Chen Xing would resign from the position of County Magistrate. Now everyone had no idea who the new County Magistrate would be. Li Shaotong, the Deputy Secretary of the County Party Committee, was a popular candidate. Because he had always been on the same side as Chen Xing, he was also favored by many people. Of course, there was also a possibility that the higher-ups would appoint a County Magistrate. After all, the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government were not short of Deputy Chiefs. Many people wanted to be the County Magistrate. Being a County Magistrate was better than being in an office, and it was more beneficial for future promotion and promotion.
But in any case, Chen Xing was now the Secretary of the County Party Committee. As the Secretary of the Party Committee, his opinion would definitely become a factor for the higher-ups. So if Chen Xing recommended someone, that person would definitely have a certain advantage. From Chen Xing's words just now, Fang Xiao guessed that Chen Xing should have recommended him to the higher-ups. With such a guess, it was normal for Fang Xiao to be unable to calm down.
The car arrived at Dawu Town and passed by the township government office building on the side of the highway. The car did not stop but drove straight forward. Fang Xiao's car led the way. His driver had followed him here before, so he naturally knew the way. The demonstration film was not far from the center of the town. It was on the side of Wu Creek, the mother river of Dawu Town. Chen Xing had checked the County Annals of Ximen County. Wu Creek had a long history. Not only was it the mother river of Dawu Town, but the origin of the name of Ximen County was also related to Wu Creek.
This was the second time that Chen Xing had come to Dawu Town. The last time he came to Chen Quanqing's plastic factory was when he received a call from Jiang Feng for help. At that time, he came and went in a hurry. Chen Xing did not pay much attention to this place. Dawu Town was not far from the county seat, but its economy could only be regarded as ordinary. In fact, in the entire Ximen County, except for the county seat, which was now developing well because of the large amount of money invested by the county, the economic situation of the towns and villages below was not very good.
The demonstration film was in Dongxi Village, which mainly developed the lychee industry. As soon as the car entered the village, they saw many lychee trees planted in front of the door of the village. Obviously, the real demonstration film would not only have lychee trees planted in front of the door. Fang Xiao introduced the situation of Dongxi Village to Chen Xing. There were several hills along the village, as well as large tracts of farmland by the river, and lychee trees were everywhere.
The situation of the village was much better than what he had seen on the way here. Chen Xing looked at the houses in the village and sighed with emotion. He saw that many people in the village had built three-story brick houses, and two-story houses were everywhere. Although most of them did not have external decoration and only had a few rooms inside for the owner to live in, this situation was still better than most places in Ximen County.
Dongxi Village had benefited from the construction of the new rural demonstration film, and the income of the villagers was considered good. According to the statistics of last year, the per capita income of Dongxi Village ranked first in Dawu Town, and it could be ranked in the top five in the whole county. It was not much worse than some rich villages in Shuimen Town. Fang Xiao smiled and explained. Every year, the county would organize agricultural experts to guide the villagers. They taught them how to grow lychee trees, how to increase the yield, and how to make the lychees bigger and sweeter. These were all knowledge. Moreover, if they encountered any insect pests and couldn't solve it by themselves, they would ask the local agricultural station for help. If the station couldn't solve the problem, the county would send experts to help the villagers. These experts could help the villagers a lot. Last time, one of the experts went back and joked with me that the villagers' ability to learn skills was better than anyone else's. If they had to teach them a few more times, these experts would have to retire.
Chen Xing was very satisfied. He smiled and said, "Every profession has its own knowledge. I think we're going to plant lychees, but we don't know anything. There are three hundred and sixty professions, and each profession has its own master. If the villagers can learn how to plant lychees, that's a skill."
The car stopped at the top of a hill. Chen Xing, Fang Xiao, and the others got out of the car. Since they hadn't informed the town government, even the cadres of the village committee didn't know that the leaders of the county had come. Except for Chen Xing's group of six, there was no one else. As soon as Chen Xing got out of the car, he saw the lychee trees all over the hill. They were lush and green, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
It's a pity that we didn't come at the right time. If the lychees were ripe, we could go up the hill to pick them and eat them. Fang Xiao's face was full of smiles. He had come here in July for an inspection. It was the season when the lychee trees were ripe. The cadres of the village directly picked the lychees from the trees. Fang Xiao tasted a few of them. They tasted very good. They were juicy and sweet. Fang Xiao smiled and said that he wanted to buy a few kilograms of lychees for himself. He even took out his money. However, the villagers didn't accept his money. They directly filled the trunk with two big boxes of lychees.
This scene reminded me of Su Dongpo's poem, 'If I eat three hundred lychees a day, I don't mind being a Lingnan person for a long time.' Chen Xing smiled and walked up the hill. Fang Xiao and the others followed closely behind him. Chen Xing smiled and said, "If Su Dongpo was still alive, he could come here and try the lychees of our Ximen County to see who's better. If he wrote a poem, it would be a free advertisement for the lychees of our Eastern Creek Village."
If Su Dongpo was still alive and had eaten the lychees of our Eastern Creek Village, he wouldn't have written the poem 'The Best in Hui Province'. Perhaps he would have written the poem 'If I eat three hundred lychees a day, I don't mind being a Dongxi person for a long time'. " Seeing that Chen Xing was in a good mood, Fang Xiao laughed and joked with him. It wasn't fun to tamper with famous ancient poems.
The area by the river is also full of lychees. Chen Xing stopped after climbing a short distance. He looked down and saw the river not far from him. The whole area was full of lychee trees, and he couldn't see the end of it.
Right, it's the same over there. Fang Xiao smiled and nodded. "Secretary Huang, do you want to go and have a look?
Let's go and have a look later. " Chen Xing smiled and glanced at Fang Xiao. "If our Ximen County develops more agricultural industries like Eastern Creek Village, the lives of the villagers will be greatly improved."
The lychee industry in Eastern Creek Village could develop because of its unique advantages. The terrain, soil, and weather here were all conducive to the growth of lychees. I'm afraid other places won't be able to do so. " Fang Xiao answered subconsciously. Then he realized that Chen Xing wasn't just talking about the lychee industry. Fang Xiao couldn't help but laugh. "Later, I'll ask the Agriculture Bureau to organize experts to visit various towns and villages. The development model of Eastern Creek Village is indeed very meaningful to promote."
After coming down from the mountain, Chen Xing and his group walked to the river again. From time to time, they met fruit farmers coming out of the forest. Occasionally, Chen Xing would stop one or two of them and ask casually about the situation. The answers he got were undoubtedly the most truthful. Without prior arrangements, the fruit farmers didn't know that he was the head of the county, and there were no township or village cadres who asked them what they could and couldn't say. When Chen Xing asked them questions, the answers were all truthful. However, some people looked at Chen Xing and his group in a strange way. As for Chen Xing's questions about the production and sales, and this year's harvest, although some people looked at Chen Xing and his group with vigilance, they still said something. Chen Xing was very satisfied with the answers he heard.
A family in the village would be very satisfied if they could earn 30,000 to 40,000 yuan a year. Moreover, the other laborers in the family would not only focus on the orchard. They would also do other work to earn money. In this way, they might have an additional income of 10,000 to 20,000 yuan a year. This was already very considerable in the countryside. Fang Xiao was in a good mood. He was in charge of the work of these rural demonstration sites. Today, Chen Xing came down to visit without prior arrangement and notice. Being able to get such a result also made him proud, which showed that the work of the new rural construction was still effective. Chen Xing nodded with a smile.
Chen Xing nodded with a smile. They had just asked a few fruit farmers about their harvests this year. Some of them looked at them with vigilance and kept quiet about their harvests. Those who were more honest would spill the beans. They had just asked an old man, who was very honest and had a face full of smiles. He said that they would have an income of 30,000 to 40,000 yuan this year. He even asked Chen Xing and the others if they had come from other places to purchase lychees and prepare to reserve the lychees for next year's harvest.
This kind of situation had happened before. The old man pulled Chen Xing and his group to have a good chat. Grandma Wang vigorously promoted her family's lychees, which made Chen Xing and his group not know whether to laugh or cry. They also listened to her patiently.
That smile just now was the best I've seen this year. Chen Xing showed a sincere smile. Although the old man was very talkative, his face was full of wrinkles and his dark skin had been exposed to a lot of wind and sun, Chen Xing looked at the old man's smiling face and felt warm in his heart. As an official, if he didn't make decisions for the people, he might as well go home and plant sweet potatoes. As an official, he should do more practical things for the people.
Yes, seeing that they have a good harvest and a smile on their faces, we are also happy. Fang Xiao glanced at Chen Xing. Today's trip to Dongxi Village made him have a new understanding of Chen Xing.
Deputy County Head Fang, this shows that you have done a good job. Chen Xing praised him. Fang Xiao was also a person who was willing to work. It seemed that it was not wrong for him to recommend Fang Xiao to take over the position of County Head. If Fang Xiao was on the same side as him but was not good at doing things, Chen Xing would be somewhat disappointed. Today, however, he was very satisfied with the result.
I don't deserve your praise, Secretary Chen. I just did my job. Fang Xiao smiled and waved his hand.
After walking around the river for a long time, they didn't know how long they had walked, but the lychee forest was still in front of them. They didn't know how long it would take to walk to the end, so they didn't plan to go down and walked back. For Chen Xing, it was enough to know that this demonstration film was not a glamorous project. It could bring real benefits to the people.
They talked as they walked to the parking place. When Chen Xing mentioned the vacancy of the Secretary of the Party Committee of Dawu Town, Wang Zhong, the director of the county government office, pricked up his ears. He was now the director of the county government office. If he was transferred to Dawu Town as the Secretary of the Party Committee, he would be qualified. The key was whether Chen Xing would agree or not. Chen Xing, as the Secretary of the County Party Committee, could decide the position of the Secretary of the Township Party Committee. Not to mention that Chen Xing was now the Secretary of the County Party Committee and also the Secretary of the County Party Committee. In Ximen County, there was no objection at all.
"Deputy Magistrate Fang, do you have any good candidates?" Chen Xing asked Fang Xiao casually.
Hearing Chen Xing's question, Fang Xiao was stunned. He hesitated for a moment and shook his head. "I can't think of any good candidates for the time being." Fang Xiao said, quietly watching Chen Xing's expression. He did have good candidates, but he didn't dare to say anything about this kind of personnel issue. Who knew if Chen Xing was testing him or really asking for his opinion? Fang Xiao didn't dare to say anything. It was right to be cautious. Moreover, he didn't want to get involved in the position of the Secretary of the Party Committee. This was not something that a deputy magistrate like him should do. Organizing personnel was a taboo for the leader of the Party Committee, and no one else could interfere in it.
Chen Xing glanced at Fang Xiao with a smile. Chen Xing could basically guess what Fang Xiao was thinking. Fang Xiao's cautiousness seemed normal to him, so he didn't say anything more. He asked Fang Xiao if he had any candidates. Even if Fang Xiao really recommended someone, he wouldn't really use them.
Back in the car, Chen Xing saw that it was not very late, so he proposed to go to other towns to watch the demonstration films. Fang Xiao naturally nodded in agreement. The two cars drove back one after the other. When they were about to leave Dongxi Village, a group of people gathered at the intersection in front of them. It was so noisy that it was hard for Chen Xing and the others not to notice it. There was also a law enforcement car of the Urban Construction Administration parked next to them. Chen Xing and Fang Xiao couldn't help but pay attention to it.
Zhang Min had been driving for Chen Xing for a long time. His ability to observe people's expressions was not bad at all. Seeing that Chen Xing showed a look of attention, Zhang Min slowed down the car and drove very slowly.
