Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Near Water Rises to the Moon
Li Yi smiled and said, "Mayor He, Mayor Xiang, please come in quickly, come to me, don't be so polite!" ”
He Zhengyu and Xiang Qingping looked at each other and smiled, and walked in.
Cui Zhigang and the others said goodbye and left.
Li Yi turned out from behind his desk, shook hands with them, and sat down on the sofa. shouted: "Xiao Han, good tea." ”
Xiang Qingping looked at the office and said with a smile: "Secretary Li, no wonder you don't want to go back to Jiangzhou after you arrive in the capital, just looking at this office, compared to the office of the deputy secretary of Jiangzhou City, it is many times more luxurious." ”
Li Yi smiled: "At this point, I have to admit that the treatment of the ministries and commissions in the capital is much more favorable than that below." ”
He Zhengyu said: "Secretary Li, I've always wanted to say Xiexie to you, but I didn't have a chance. Last time you went back to Jiangzhou, it happened that I had a holiday again. Thank you today. ”
Li Yi waved his hand and said: "Everyone is a comrade, what do you want to talk about!" It's too out-of-the-box. ”
He Zhengyu said: "Secretary Li, I know that before you entered Beijing, you said good things for me in front of the provincial party committee and recommended me, and I successfully became the executive deputy mayor. ”
Li Yi said: "Your promotion is the wise decision of the provincial party committee, and it is also the result of your own efforts, I just recommended the right person to the right position." ”
Li Yi is still very happy about He Zhengyu's visit.
Giving kindness to others, although I don't look forward to other people's pictures, but at least the expression of my heart can still warm people's hearts.
In politics, this is more of a subtle expression of surrender and alliance.
When Li Yi recommended He Zhengyu, he had such thoughts.
Although the focus has temporarily shifted from Jiangzhou, the influence and control of Jiangzhou have not decreased, but have been enhanced by the addition of He Zhengyu.
Han Weilin made tea and brought it over.
He Zhengyu took the tea and said, "Secretary Xiexie Han." ”
Han Weilin's face was slightly red, and he said, "I'm not Director Li's secretary, I'm just an office worker. ”
He Zhengyu smiled: "That's also Secretary Li's secretary!" ”
Li Yi said: "Xiao Han." Alright, you go out, let's talk for a while. ”
Han Weilin withdrew in response.
Li Yi took a sip of tea and asked slowly, "The two of you are coming to Beijing." What kind of project is it running? ”
He Zhengyu said: "One is to run the project, and the other is to come to see Secretary Li Yi." ”
Li Yi looked at Xiang Qingping.
Xiang Qingping said: "Mayor He, Secretary Li is not an outsider, let's tell the truth." ”
He Zhengyu rubbed his hands and said, "Secretary Li, we are indeed here to run the project this time. I also want to ask Secretary Li for help. ”
Li Yi said: "I am also an official in Jiangzhou, and the affairs of Jiangzhou are my affairs, what projects are you going to run this time?" I can help as much as I can. If it's enterprise reform, I can call the shots. If it's another department, I can help with it. ”
He Zhengyu said: "The main reason I came this time is to get some funds for the reform of state-owned enterprises in Jiangzhou. ”
Li Yi nodded slowly and said, "Reform funds for state-owned enterprises, Mayor He." You leave the materials and the report, and I will go through it according to the procedure, and try to approve it as soon as possible. ”
Xiang Qingping said: "Director Li." I am now in charge of education, and the support for education in the city and province is too small, and the funds in all areas are stretched. When you were in Jiangzhou, you made a great contribution to the education work in Jiangzhou, and most of the dilapidated schools were renovated, and now these schools are being built and put into use. However, the educational conditions in many mountainous areas of our city are still very backward, and funds are urgently needed to renovate them. ”
Li Yi said: "Even if the central government is willing to support the education funds at the municipal level, it is estimated that it will be difficult. ”
Xiang Qingping said: "It's not. After May Day, I went to the capital. But I broke my leg and couldn't get a penny of approval, so there was really no way, and it happened that Mayor He was going to come to Secretary Li, so I came with him to plead. Secretary Li. You are a big man with hands and eyes, and you are the parent official of the people of Jiangzhou, I can only ask you for help in this important matter. ”
Li Yi smiled: "Mayor Xiang, you are exalting me too much." ”
No matter how difficult this thing is, Li Yi has to do it. Not to mention that Xiang Qingping has had several spring breezes with him, even if he doesn't have this relationship, Li Yi has to work for the welfare of Jiangzhou's education!
Xiang Qingping took out a report, handed it to Li Yi, and said, "Secretary Li, look at this, this was written by Comrade Zhao Lin of the Education Bureau of the East New District. ”
"Oh? Comrade Zhao Lin's report, let me take a look. Li Yi took it with a smile.
In this report, Zhao Lin made a very in-depth analysis of the current situation of education in Dongxin District, especially the detailed investigation and introduction of primary and secondary education in rural and mountainous areas.
Changing the status quo of rural education is also an important task given to Zhao Lin by Li Yi.
Xiang Qingping said: "Secretary Li, now that the withdrawal of townships and towns is being implemented everywhere, there will inevitably be many problems in the middle, such as the handover of local finances is a bad debt that cannot be calculated. Some schools used to be in this township, but now they are in this township, and the two local governments pass the buck to each other and refuse to pay salaries. ”
"In some schools, wages were already in arrears, and the teachers went to the original township leaders, but no one took care of them, and pushed them to the current township government, and the township government said that this was a legacy problem and that the original township government leaders had to solve it. This has been pushed back and forth, and it will not be implemented for months or even years. The longer the time drags on, the more unclear this account becomes! ”
"Fortunately, most of the teachers in the countryside have some land at home, and even if the state does not pay them, they can make ends meet. However, should we be the leaders and treat the engineers of the human soul like this? They have paid so much for the country, shouldn't we even pay them the wages they deserve? ”
What Xiang Qingping said was exactly what Zhao Lin wrote in the report, although the text was slightly different, but the meaning was similar.
Li Yi finished browsing quickly, thinking that what Zhao Lin wrote must be the truth!
At present, the arrears of teachers' salaries are very serious.
After so many years of reform and opening up, the eastern coastal areas have become developed, but the central and western regions are still poor, and there are still many poor people in many areas.
In many impoverished counties and towns, except for a few nimble businessmen, most of the workers do not have high wages.
The finances of these counties and towns can be imagined. There are many places where money is used, but there are pitifully few inputs, and the finances are always stretched, and in many places even the most basic wages cannot be paid.
As the saying goes, if people are not for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed. Even if they are party members and cadres, not all of them have the consciousness and behavior of Comrade Lei Feng, and when they have money, they must first ensure their own wages and the wages and benefits of the administrative organs, and then it is the turn of public institutions.
As for the honest and powerless people's teachers, it will be Zuihou's turn. If there is, a little will be issued, and if there is none, it will be in arrears.
Teachers are also iron rice bowls and national civil servants.
But they are the weakest of the vast civil service.
After a month of hard work, or even a year, I can't even pay my salary, which is similar to the migrant worker brothers who work outside, right?
Li Yi had a serious expression and said, "Mayor Xiang, do Secretary You and Mayor Zhang know about this situation?" ”
Xiang Qingping said: "You should know." This problem has been around for many years and is not new. After Comrade Zhao Lin's report was submitted, I went to investigate on the spot, and all that was written on it was true. ”
Li Yi said: "Is there any saying in the city? ”
Xiang Qingping said: "I have submitted a copy of this report to the relevant leaders, but none of them have approved it. I went to them to theorize, but the leaders said that they had nothing to do about it for the time being, and that they had to study and discuss it again. ”
Li Yi said: "Do you still want to drag it out?" ”
Xiang Qingping said: "I guess that's what it means." ”
Li Yi asked He Zhengyu: "Mayor He, what do you think about this matter?" ”
He Zhengyu said: "The city's finances are relatively generous this year, but most of the funds are tilted towards highway transportation construction, and the budget for education has not increased. Mayor Zhang has money in his hands, but he is reluctant to take it out, what he means is that the education department has to find its own way to solve the teacher's salary. ”
Xiang Qingping said: "That's why I have to run around, pull relationships and pull funds, no matter what, I have to pay the teachers' salaries first." Otherwise, I, the deputy mayor in charge of education, would have failed too much. ”
Li Yi looked at the time and said, "You live in the Beijing Office, right?" ”
Xiang Qingping said: "Yes." We live in the Jiangzhou office in Beijing. ”
Li Yi said: "It's not early, I'll do it, and invite everyone to have a meal." ”
Xiang Qingping said: "Secretary Li, what about this fund?" ”
Li Yi smiled: "Don't worry, I will deal with haode." It's time to get off work, you can't force me to go to the Ministry of Education, right? ”
He Zhengyu smiled: "That's right, Secretary Li opened his mouth, what else can't be done?" As long as Secretary Li talks to the Ministry of Education, this matter of funds can be solved immediately. ”
Li Yi smiled and went downstairs with the two.
After Qian Duo returned to China, he stayed in the capital and became Li Yi's driver again.
Li Yi was also accustomed to the existence of Qian Duo, and did not drive him back.
He Zhengyu took the lead and got into the passenger seat.
Li Yi invited Xiang Qingping to the back seat.
He Zhengyu and Xiang Qingping were very polite when they saw Qian Duo.
A person who can follow Li Yi from Xizhou to Jiangzhou and then to the capital, even if he is a driver, cannot be underestimated!
Li Yi didn't even take the secretary away! It can be seen that this driver is very important to Li Yi.
Li Yi said the place, and Qian drove to it.
When passing by the State Bureau of Letters and Visits, Li Yi saw that the staff there were rushing people.
Xiang Qingping suddenly sighed: "Isn't that Director Liang of our Beijing Office?" ”
