Chapter 11: Stubborn Colleagues

Li Yi spent three days sorting out his thoughts, and then came to Zhou Houjian's office.

"Secretary Li" Zhou Houjian shouted in some surprise: "You can call me over if you have something" A bright smile bloomed on his face, and wrinkles squeezed into the middle of his face, blooming into a chrysanthemum.

"I'm young, it's okay to walk more." Li Yi sat down with a smile, took out the development plan of Liulin Town that he had written, and handed it to Zhou Houjian: "Mayor Zhou, this is the medium and long-term planning and short-term tasks I have made for the comprehensive development of Liulin Town in the countryside recently. ”

Zhou Houjian took the thick stack of manuscripts, and was a little surprised, thinking to himself that this nerd, could it be that he really wrote a tome of planning?

Li Yi said: "Mayor Zhou, the matter of your nephew Zhou Kun was not discussed with you in advance, and I can't help you."

Zhou Houjian raised his head and looked at Li Yi, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "This is his own doing, I can't complain to others who makes him have no eyes."

Li Yi knew that this Liangzi was settled, although he was very reluctant to fall out with this old mayor of Liulin, but people obviously did not accept his daoqian.

Li Yi said: "Mayor Zhou is an experienced cadre in Liulin, and I hope that in the future work, we will work together to build Liulin Town better." ”

This was said a little tactfully, but Zhou Houjian still understood, he twitched the corner of his mouth, and said: "Don't worry, I will distinguish between personal grievances and official affairs" When he said this, his upper and lower teeth were gritted, and his voice seemed to be forced out of his teeth.

Li Yi smiled bitterly and stretched out his hand to make a gesture to please see.

Zhou Houjian opened Li Yi's planning book, browsed it roughly, only read a few pages, and then put it down, with a question on his face: "Secretary Li, what is rural urbanization and urban-rural integration?" What are the four types of modernizations? This is a new term, forgive me for being lonely and unheard, I have never heard of it. ”

Li Yi said with a smile: "Rural urbanization is easy to understand, and urban-rural integration is a new type of urban-rural relationship with cities as the center, small towns as the link, and villages as the foundation, urban and rural support, mutual benefit, mutual promotion, coordinated development, and common prosperity." The 'four modernizations' refer to new industrialization, agricultural modernization, new urbanization, and informatization. 'Two types' refers to the resource-saving and environment-friendly type. ”

Zhou Houjian frowned, obviously still couldn't understand, rubbed his temples and said, "Secretary Li, did you stay in the bookstore and read a few books, so you came up with such a thing?" This is the first work, is divorced from the reality of the fantasy is irresponsible, you have to understand a basic truth: our Liulin is just a small town, the industrial and agricultural foundation is very weak, from your urbanization, the difference is 108,000 miles, this is not that, the monkey wants to catch the moon, can only touch it in the water, how to say the idiom? ”

"Fishing for the moon in the water," Li Yi said.

"yes, aren't you also an understanding person? Isn't this just fishing for the moon in the water, you can see it, but you can't touch it? Now the people in the village can live a life of food and clothing, which is already a blessing of reform and opening up, which is good. Urbanization? Our town is still far from urbanization, let alone the countryside," Zhou Houjian became more and more impassioned the more he said: "Secretary Xiao Li, you are a young man, and you have ambitions, it is inevitable that you will be complacent, and you want to do a big career, this idea is haode, but you can't be whimsical, this is simply playing the piano."

Li Yi had long expected him to react like this, sat quietly, listened to him finish, and then said: "Reform and opening up is internal reform and opening up to the outside world. The first thing to bear the brunt of internal reform is rural reform. As long as we maintain the socialist system, we must have the courage to try and innovate in all reforms and innovations. ”

Zhou Houjian shook his head resolutely and said: "Secretary Xiao Li, what you said seems to be reasonable, but we are just a small town that can set off a new round of reform?" Or is it such a radical reform? It's too, too ...... In short, I'm against it."

Li Yi knew that he had to spend a lot of time to convince this old stubborn, but he didn't expect him to oppose it so clearly.

"Mayor Zhou, Xiaogang Village in Fengyang County began to implement the 'household land contract responsibility system', which opened the curtain of China's internal reform, and the village party secretary and members of the village committee of this village, the risks they took and the difficulties they faced were thousands of times stronger than ours, and they succeeded" Li Yi continued his persuasion: "Reform is a brand-new pioneering undertaking, and we are all crossing the river by feeling the stones. There must always be some people who dare to be the first and dare to be this shiyan field. We, Liulin Town, Weishenme, can't we be at the forefront of reform? If it succeeds, it will be a great credit to the people of Liulin and the whole country. ”

"What if it fails?" Zhou Houjian's five fingers tapped the table: "Secretary Xiao Li, do you think about it, we are doing such a big move, it is land requisition, and it is demolition, it is all a move to work hard and lose money." If we fail, and the people are outraged and sued to the province or even the central government, will we still have a way to live? ”

"Mayor Zhou, let's take it step by step, first find a village to do a pilot, accumulate experience, and then promote it to the whole town, so that the risk we take is the lowest." Li Yi had no choice but to throw out the second plan.

"This, a village is still a bit big, involving one or two thousand people, making trouble, can you and me be stripped alive" Zhou Houjian said with a gesture of a passer-by: "Secretary Xiao Li, this is too radical, think about it, in a poor town like us now, what kind of business associations will invest in it, and what will you use to engage in this urbanization?" Aren't you unclear about the financial situation of our town, and even building a few stone chairs can only be completed by you to build a city? Isn't that a pipe dream? ”

"Mayor Zhou, as long as you nod your head, I have the responsibility to run for specific affairs, and I will take care of it" Li Yi sat up straight and said seriously.

Zhou Houjian still shook his head: "If something really goes wrong, no one in our Liulin Town Party Committee team can escape responsibility." I still disagree. Secretary Xiao Li, you are a young faction, you want to carry out reforms, you want to make political achievements, you want to climb up, I can understand, but I can't let you come nonsense, make a good haode Liulin Town, and make it a miasma."

Li Yi's face was a little ugly, and he said stiffly: "Mayor Zhou, what are you talking about?" You take a closer look at my plan, I have a detailed jihua for every step, how can it be possible to make Liulin Town into a miasma? I believe that according to my jihua, Liulin Town will change every year, a small change every three years, and a big change every five years, and it will not be long before Liulin Town will become the first township in China to integrate urban and rural areas."

Zhou Houjian is like a stubborn feudal parent, in the face of the free love of his children, he resolutely wants to nip it in the bud: "Secretary Xiao Li, I repeatedly emphasize that I don't agree with you to engage in political achievements, please think of another trick."

Li Yi heard him repeatedly talk about the word "political achievements", and he was very annoyed and said: "Mayor Zhou, we are officials for one term, do we just think about political achievements and promotions?" Can't you do something for the people under your rule? ”

"Secretary Xiao Li," Zhou Houjian pushed the plan back: "You go to the county leaders to report, if the county agrees, we will be asked to do it, I naturally have nothing to say, otherwise, I will resolutely not agree"

Li Yi's original intention of coming today was to talk to Zhou Houjian, but he didn't have any hope of convincing him, so he took the plan book and nodded: "Okay, then let's do it first, I'll go to the county for a run." "I thought to myself, as long as this old fox doesn't have the heart to make trouble, I will burn high incense

Slowly paced out of the mayor's office, and bumped into a person head-on, it was Zhou Kun.

Zhou Kun obviously ran very fiercely just now, sweating profusely, panting, when he saw Li Yi, he stopped his steps, stared at the two small eyes, looked at Li Yi provocatively, stretched out his right index finger and pointed at Li Yi, with an arrogant expression of "boy, you are dead".

Li Yi walked over in direct disregard.

Zhou Kun looked at his back, waved his fist, pushed the door in, picked up the cup on the table and poured tea to drink.

Zhou Houjian frowned and said: "How many times have you said it, my cup, don't use it indiscriminately, it's too unhygienic." ”

"Hey, it's all a family, why are you poor? Uncle, what is that kid Li Yi looking for you? Zhou Kun wiped the corners of his mouth pleasantly.

"Nothing has anything to do with you, you are in an extraordinary period now, why don't you stay at home and run around?"

"Uncle, you don't know, do you? Hu Jichang's grandson, investigate the case and find out about Hou Ye" Zhou Kun picked up the cigarette from the table and smoked.

"You don't care about his business, you don't care which one he checks" Zhou Houjian opened the drawer, took out two packs of cigarettes from it and threw them to Zhou Kun: "Take it and smoke your work, I'll find a way, you nest at home first, and come out less"

"I'm going to help Xiao Hou Ye do things" Zhou Kun smiled and put the cigarette into his pocket: "Xiao Hou Ye has already accepted me, and the salary is much stronger than here"

"What?" Zhou Houjian slapped his palm on the desk and said angrily: "You stupid pig, who told you to help them do things?" You get back to me right away."

"Uncle, Xiao Hou Ye is very righteous and he also said that when it is convenient, he will help me teach the kid surnamed Li a lesson." Zhou Kun proudly spit out a large smoke ring.

"You are really a pig-brained waiting family to kill yourself if you do too much injustice, what good fruit can you eat if you follow them?"

"Hey, uncle, this is your mistake, didn't you always educate me before, telling me not to offend the Hou family?"

Zhou Kun said with a smile: "Last time Tang Wenhong died in the hospital, isn't it difficult for me?" Xiao Hou Ye also gave me 3,000 yuan."

Zhou Houjian asked: "On the day Tang Wenhong died, was Li Yi also in the hospital?" ”
