Speaking of which, we must explain how the deputies to the city people's congress are elected? The deputies to the city people's congress are not selected by the city, but are elected from among the people's congress deputies at the next level. The deputies to the people's congresses at the next level are the deputies to the people's congresses of the counties and districts under the jurisdiction of the city. In other words, the deputies to the municipal people's congress are actually the intersection of some people's congress deputies from various counties and districts, and it can also be said that the people's congress deputies of the counties and districts are directly responsible for the election of the leaders of the municipal government.

Now, back to the previous question. Compared with the secretary of the county party committee who served in a different place, the native county magistrate naturally has a closer relationship with the people of the county and has a deeper influence in the county. Under normal circumstances, such county magistrates have the ability to manipulate the intentions of their county people's congress deputies. If the county magistrate is willing to submit to a certain city leader, then when the city leader is facing a high position, he can instruct the deputies in the county who have been elected as city people's congress deputies and let them all vote for that city leader; on the contrary, this is also the case; if the county magistrate is deeply disgusted with a certain city leader, is unwilling to watch him take office, and has the sacrificial spirit of "being willing to dare to pull the emperor off the horse," he can also instruct the deputies of the city people's congress in the county to vote against it, and even make them make a big fuss at the scene of the people's congress. This kind of thing has not happened in China, and it is not uncommon.

Therefore, the eleven members of the Standing Committee here, except for Pei Xu, the political commissar of the military sub-district who has nothing to do with the ecology of local officialdom, any other person has the heart to recommend his cronies to take the throne and win this rare county magistrate throne, which not only cultivates his cronies, but also finds himself a booster, which is definitely a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.

To put it bluntly, the process of these dozen or so members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee in Qingyang is a process of playing games. What are you playing? Monopoly. The thirteen counties and districts of Qingyang City are thirteen pieces of land. Turf represents both strength and power. Everyone wants to fight for more territory to get more support and power. However, these territories are controlled by the secretaries of the county and district party committees and the county heads, so what the Standing Committee members have to do is to win the loyalty and obedience of these secretaries and county heads. How can we win their allegiance? The appointment of a county magistrate by a standing committee of the municipal party committee like this today is an opportunity.

People's hearts are flesh and blood, and whoever is promoted by the leader will be grateful to the leader, and will unswervingly stand on the side of the leader from then on. When the leader is in difficulty, he will give full support; if the leader is promoted, he will also rise with the tide. This is actually the reason for standing in line.

Of course, although everyone has the heart to recommend their cronies to the top, but when it comes to discussing and deciding, whether they will propose their cronies is another matter. For example, the bigwigs who are ranked high in the Standing Committee can unscrupulously put forward their cronies, but those who are at the bottom of the ranking and do not have much energy, and can be said to be the type of soy sauce in the Standing Committee, if they want to put forward their cronies, they have to think carefully. Even, most of the time, they don't even have a chance to think about it, so they have to directly support the opinions of the bigwigs they are attached to.

There is no way to do this, this is like the pattern of the world: the big country game, it is difficult for small countries to protect themselves, how dare to participate in it, so they can only compromise.

It's a pity that most of the people here, including Li Rui, don't know that the only candidate for the throne of Shuanghe County Magistrate has been decided.

When the province held a provincial leading cadres conference before, Song Chaoyang, the No. 1 leader of the municipal party committee, and Sun Yaozu, the boss of the government, had reached a secret agreement: Song Chaoyang nominated his old classmate Fang Qingyun, deputy secretary of the Shuanghe County Party Committee, to take the position, and Sun Yaozu expressed his support. Song Chaoyang reciprocated the favor and gave him a position as deputy secretary of the county party committee. Although the position of deputy secretary is not as good as that of the county magistrate, he can be promoted to the rank of county magistrate or even secretary of the county party committee at any time. Both of them were very happy with this agreement, but they did not consider the ideas of the other Standing Committee members from beginning to end.

In today's Standing Committee, neither of them intends to consider the opinions of others.

After Zhong Aimin, director of the Second Division of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, reported the results of the routine organizational inspection, Song Chaoyang, as the presiding officer of the meeting, said: "Let's discuss the qualified candidates proposed by the Organization Department and see what opinions they have. ”

What he said in his mouth was everyone, but his eyes only looked at Sun Yaozu on the left, which means, it's time for you to express your position. In fact, even if he doesn't look at Sun Yaozu, as the No. 2 person in the Standing Committee, Sun Yaozu should speak out.

Sun Yaozu said bluntly: "I think Fang Qingyun, deputy secretary of the Shuanghe County Party Committee, is the most suitable. He is familiar with the local social and economic situation of Shuanghe County, and has been the deputy of the secretary of the county party committee for a long time. ”

Li Rui noticed that Sun Yaozu was a little weak when he spoke, and he didn't say anything after he only said a few words, as if he wasn't feeling well today.

Next, Yu Heping, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, spoke, and he said in line with the principle that he must oppose everything that his old opponent Sun Yaozu supports: "I agree with the promotion of Lin Guodong, executive deputy head of the Shuanghe County Government, as a candidate for county magistrate. The mayor also has some truth in what he said, Fang Qingyun, as the deputy secretary of the county party committee, can better coordinate with the county party committee after serving as the county magistrate, but the problem is that Fang Qingyun, as the deputy secretary, was more engaged in retreat work before, and I believe that many people will worry about his ability to preside over the government and handle government affairs. But Lin Guodong doesn't have this problem at all. As the executive deputy county magistrate, Lin Guodong has been in charge of government affairs for a long time, and he is obviously more familiar with all aspects of the county than Fang Qingyun. With him as the county magistrate, he will definitely do better than Fang Qingyun. ”

When he said this, he deliberately paused, took a sip of tea from the thermos cup, and continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, recently, the central government has just promoted Lu Zhouxing, executive vice governor of our province, to the acting governor, instead of choosing the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, naturally out of the same considerations as me. With such a vivid example in front of us, do we have anything else to think about?"

Li Rui secretly admired, and said in his heart that this old thing was an old treacherous and cunning, and suddenly brought up the example of his prospective father-in-law, as if everyone disagreed with his proposal was against the meaning of the central government, but in fact, what he said did not make any sense at all. In fact, in China, most of the heads of government are raised by the second-in-command of the party committee, and it is not uncommon for them to be promoted from executive deputy positions, but there are very few. As for what he said, "The deputy secretary is engaged in retreat work and is not familiar with government affairs", it is even more, the deputy secretary is not born to be a deputy secretary, but also from the grassroots level step by step, each deputy secretary has accumulated enough experience in government affairs, otherwise he would not be able to climb up. In addition, if it is extended according to his meaning, the retreat work is bullshit, isn't this even scolded by his boss Song Chaoyang?

Sure enough, someone fought back against Lao Yu's meaning.

Jia Yulong didn't wait for Xiao Dawei, secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, to speak, and said with a smile: "Oh, according to what you mean, the deputy secretary just doesn't know anything, can't do anything, and is not worthy of being promoted to a government post at all." What will happen to you, the deputy secretary, in this situation in the future? If the leaders of the provincial party committee think about it like this, would you be happy or not?"

Yu Heping really didn't expect that Jia Yulong would "attack his own shield with his own spear", he was a little embarrassed when he heard this, but he quickly adjusted and said, "I'm talking about Fang Qingyun, don't just talk about things." ”

Jia Yulong smiled and didn't say anything more.

But although he didn't say anything more, everyone understood where the flaws in Yu Heping's words were.

Li Rui witnessed this short debate with his own eyes, and his heart moved, and he carefully wrote down a sentence in his notebook: In a major meeting, every word spoken must be carefully considered, and the opponent should not be given an opportunity to attack. After remembering this, he also wondered in his heart, how could the treacherous and cunning of the old fox Yu Heping leave such a good opportunity for Jia Yulong to attack? Could it be that he had become mentally bad because of his gradual aging?

Before Xiao Dawei opened his mouth, Song Chaoyang interjected and asked Yu Heping: "Secretary of Peace, are you familiar with Fang Qingyun?" Yu Heping knew that he was not good at this question, but he couldn't help but answer, and said, "I'm not very familiar." Song Chaoyang asked again: "Since you are not familiar with him, presumably you don't know his work ability, why do you still think that there will be many people who doubt his ability to handle government affairs?" Yu Heping no longer had the leisurely energy of drinking tea before, hesitated for a moment, and sneered: "I'm just relatively speaking, compared with him, the deputy secretary, and the executive deputy county magistrate who has been in charge of government affairs, his ability must be slightly worse, so it's no problem, right?"

Song Chaoyang smiled and closed his mouth.

From beginning to end, he did not criticize Yu Heping for talking nonsense to his face, nor did he show the support of the other party Qingyun at all, but many people have already seen his intentions.

Xiao Dawei continued: "I think Fang Qingyun is the best of the three, with rich experience in party affairs and a strong foundation in government work. I listened carefully to the report on the inspection results of Director Zhong of the Organization Department just now, and knew that Fang Qingyun came up step by step from the town mayor, the town party committee secretary, the deputy county magistrate, and the deputy secretary. It is very appropriate for such a cadre with rich experience in grassroots work to be promoted and appointed as acting county magistrate. If I want to vote, I will choose Fang Qingyun. ”

Yu Heping listened to his statement and looked at him with unkind eyebrows. But Xiao Dawei ignored him at all, and after speaking, he lowered his head and drank tea.
