After that, most of the members of the Standing Committee supported Fang Qingyun's election. In the end, Song Chaoyang made the final decision and confirmed that Fang Qingyun would be the Shuanghe County Mayor. His rank was also promoted from Deputy Division Chief to Division Chief.
Of course, the decision of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee didn't count. If Fang Qingyun wanted to be the acting Shuanghe County Mayor, he had to be approved by the Standing Committee of the Shuanghe County People's Congress. As for being the real County Mayor, he was far from it. He had to wait until the People's Congress in spring next year to be officially elected. Although it was just a formality, it had to be done.
Li Rui wasn't surprised to see this result. Fang Qingyun was the boss's old classmate and had the qualifications. Of course, the boss had to promote him. What's more, if the boss wanted to gain a foothold in Qingyang City and have political achievements, he had to have a group of trusted aides at the grassroots level who would faithfully carry out his intentions. Otherwise, even if he was the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, if the grassroots leaders and cadres didn't carry out his intentions, he could only be an empty commander and couldn't do anything.
As for where he could promote his trusted aides, there were only a few types: classmates, colleagues, friends, and relatives. Fang Qingyun happened to be his old classmate. Of course, he had to promote him.
Nowadays, when the people talked about the bad deeds of officials, they often said that it was "nepotism". But what kind of crime was this? For a leader, if he didn't appoint people nepotism, would he still appoint people nepotism? It was because of "nepotism" that he was familiar with this person's temperament and nature. He knew what he could and couldn't do so that he could be better used. If it was a stranger, who would know what kind of person he was? If they didn't even know his character and ability, how could they let him do great things?
As the people, of course, they hoped that the leaders would choose talents and appoint people based on their merits. However, in the domestic officialdom environment, most of the talents and talents were the targets of strangulation. What the people saw more was that the administrative agencies were filled with fools and idiots. They felt that even if they went in, they would do better than them. Unfortunately, this was wishful thinking.
In China, since ancient times, when leaders promoted their subordinates, stupidity was never a derogatory term. Leaders only needed two kinds of subordinates. One was capable people, a few of which were enough, not too many. The other was obedient people, the more the better.
Of course, there were still some honest officials and good ministers, such as Bao Qingtian. These kinds of people would usually choose honest and clean subordinates. However, such people were too rare. How many of them had appeared in China in the past few thousand years?
After confirming the candidate for Shuanghe County Magistrate, Sun Yaozu coughed and said, "Secretary Chaoyang, after Fang Qingyun is promoted to County Magistrate, his Deputy Secretary position will be vacant. The position of Deputy Secretary was also quite important and could not be left vacant. Shouldn't we first confirm the procedures for this meeting? " Song Chaoyang nodded and said to Lu Jianhua, the head of the County Party committee, "Minister Lu, I'll have to trouble the Organization Department to decide on the selection process and draft a list of candidates as soon as possible so that it can be finalized in the next meeting."
Lu Jianhua nodded and carefully wrote it down in his notebook.
After this topic, in theory, the meeting of the Standing Committee was over. However, Song Chaoyang did not end the meeting formally. Instead, he chatted with everyone with a smile on his face. Everyone drank water and chatted happily. If an outsider came in at this moment, they would not think that this was the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee.
After everyone chatted for a while, Song Chaoyang said to Li Rui, "Xiao Rui, since all the members of the Standing Committee are here today, you should briefly talk about the work of poverty alleviation in the countryside."
Li Rui understood that the reason why Song Chaoyang wanted him to report the work of poverty alleviation to the members of the Standing Committee was to warm up the atmosphere and pave the way for a city-wide poverty alleviation campaign in the future. Therefore, he cleared his throat and reported loudly.
Among the eleven members of the Standing Committee, except for a few people, most of them had climbed up step by step from the grassroots in villages and towns. They knew the difficulties of working in the countryside, but they did not know much about poverty alleviation work. Most of them were not even familiar with poverty alleviation work. Today, Li Rui's report made them understand for the first time that there were so many difficulties in poverty alleviation work.
Therefore, Sun Yaozu wanted to back out again. He shook his head and said, "If it were up to me, we should just follow the attitude of the province and set up a poverty alleviation framework. There is no need to carry out any large-scale poverty alleviation activities. Xiao Rui, let me ask you. How much did you spend on food, lodging, and transportation for poverty alleviation in the countryside this time? "
Li Rui thought for a while and said, "We rented a villager's house. The monthly rent is five hundred yuan. This is the main source of our expenses. As for food, it did not cost much. I calculated the bill yesterday. It was less than two thousand yuan in total. This is all the expenses for the two of us. "
Sun Yaozu said, "Look, look. The two of us went to the countryside for poverty alleviation for less than a month, and we generated two thousand yuan in expenses. This is equivalent to a sector-level cadre's salary for a month. If we follow the trend of ten thousand party members helping ten thousand families, these ten thousand cadre will have to generate five thousand similar expenses. This is a huge burden for the city's finance. Also, Xiao Rui, let me ask you again. Did you get any results from your trip? How many families did you help become rich? "
Li Rui said, "Under our lead, a total of ten poor families in Little Dragon King Village started a small self-help farming industry. Nine of them did not see any results for the time being. They will only see results after the beginning of spring next year. One of them has already created a real income by setting up fake mountains and bonsai. I believe that they will be able to escape poverty and become rich next year. "
Sun Yaozu shook his head and said, "That is to say, you did not get any good results this time, right?"
Li Rui wanted to refute him. Escaping poverty and becoming rich was a process. It was impossible to see immediate results. Giving birth required ten months of pregnancy. How could a family escape poverty and become rich? When it came to poverty alleviation, it was not good to be anxious. However, in front of so many leaders, it was not good to embarrass him. He only said, "Results can be divided into actual results and potential results. In terms of actual results, we really did not have any results." The subtext of his words was that in terms of potential results, they already had some results.
Sun Yaozu obviously did not care about his so-called potential results. He shook his head and said, "That is to say, although your poverty alleviation pilot project did not fail, it was not much better than a failure, right?"
Li Rui was infuriated that he and Ling Shuyao's hard work had been erased so easily. However, he could not say anything. He lowered his head and ignored him.
Song Chaoyang smiled and said, "Mayor Yaozu, it's not that I want to protect them. Xiao Rui and the others did put in a lot of effort and achieved some results. However, this result will only be effective next year. After all, poverty alleviation is a process that takes time. You can't say that they failed. "
Sun Yaozu also tried to maintain a friendly and harmonious atmosphere. He also smiled and said, "I didn't say that they failed, but it's not much different from a failure for the time being, right? That's why I said that poverty alleviation is not easy to do. Instead of spending so much manpower, material, and financial resources, it is better to think of ways to do something about the city's construction and development. When the city is developed, the total economic output will increase, and the status of Qingyang in the province will also be improved. It will also be a great contribution. Although it is possible to make up for the shortcomings, if the shortcomings are not easy to make up for, then we can only increase the capacity of the bucket. Is this the truth? "
Song Chaoyang nodded and said, "There are definitely problems with our poverty alleviation program. Through Xiao Rui and the others' experience and lessons from this poverty alleviation pilot project, we have to continue to improve it. As for poverty alleviation, I think of a poem by Chairman Mao Yi. It's called 'Long term vision should be taken into account.' In fact, he was teaching us not to be anxious about some things. We have to look at the long-term and not just focus on the small benefits in front of us. I still want to emphasize that we must help the poor. If we don't help the poor, the poor in the city will always be a hindrance to the economic development of Qingyang City, and we will be ranked last among the cities in the province. As their parents and officials, we will not be able to live up to their high expectations of us. Well, that's all I have to say. This meeting of the Standing Committee ends here. Everyone can go back to work. "After that, he stood up, looked around, and walked away.
Li Rui felt that his boss's words were a little harsh. It was like a silent slap to Sun Yaozu's face. He was mocking him for being short-sighted. When he followed his boss, he glanced at Sun Yaozu. Sun Yaozu's face was not very good. He thought to himself, "You asked for it. As a mayor, you don't have the awareness of a mayor. You always drag the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee down when it comes to good things for the country and the people. You deserve to be criticized." After walking out of the meeting room, he keenly felt that his boss was more unyielding than before. He was happy. Who doesn't want their boss to be a tough person? It would be best if his boss was that kind of arrogant attitude. This way, as his secretary, he would be more powerful.
He followed Song Chaoyang back to his office and put the teacup on his desk.
