On Monday morning, a half-new, half-old jeep was running on the potholed asphalt road, and Xiao Chen, who was next to Chang Ning, said: "Chang Ji, this is the 302 National Highway leading to the Jinjiang area, and we will pass through the county seat of Markham County later. ”

Xiao Chen was specially arranged by Minister Li, a section chief of the Second Department of Cadres of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, who was of the same age as Chang Ning, looked honest and stocky, and was very talkative.

Chang Ning was happy in his heart, daring to love this guy rarely goes far away, and he has never even been to the beach, just like he has never been to a real hilly area, the mountains outside the car are stacked, a lush natural scenery, the mountains are not high, but it seems to be boundless, so that his mood gradually improved.

suddenly became the leader of a county, so that Chang Ning**** didn't sleep well.

In Chang Ning's heart, he pondered the organization's arrangements for him, and he thought that he might serve as the county magistrate, but he really didn't expect that he would be the county party committee secretary.

He has his own little abacus, although being a county magistrate is said to manage the administrative and economic development of a county, but with his hands-off shopkeeper work method, and then seize the opportunity to engage in a few projects, in the economy, with his leadership style, he can sit firmly on the throne of the county magistrate, with his character of not competing for the first, as long as he does a good job with the number one leader, and is willing to be the second in command, the small life in the next few years will definitely be very nourishing.

But the county party committee is different, this is a symbol of the ruling party, the responsibility is heavier than Mount Tai, you can say that you have to worry about anything, how can he have this mind and energy, the number one is the object of attention at all times, and the following goal is the target of all the attention, he is not fully prepared for the thought at all.

Chang Ning is confused and uneasy, just according to what Li Yao said first, if you come, you will be safe, take one step at a time, damn it, the number one is also quite good, at least you can find a little bit of the feeling of being a self-respecting earth overlord.

was supposed to go with Li Yaoxian, go to the same area, I didn't expect the magistrate of Wanchuan County to come to the province to do business, and when he heard that the first leader was coming, he hurried over, and the first and second leaders met for the first time, naturally there were a lot of things to say, Chang Ning had to say goodbye to Li Yaoxian alone.

The driver of the car is called Lao Jiang, a middle-aged man in his forties, a suburb of Nanjiang City, who has been in the agency for many years.

Xiao Chen doesn't smoke, before driving, Chang Ning threw two packs of Dazhongjiu cigarettes at Lao Jiang, the effect is obvious, and he can talk better than ordinary drivers.

"Chang Ji, Section Chief Chen is from Markham County, if we have lunch in Markham County, Section Chief Chen will definitely have to pay."

"Lao Jiang, what a good idea." Chang Ning laughed and said lightly, "However, I will pay the bill, my salary is higher than yours, and Markham County is my place of work, you have worked hard to send me, I have to do my best to be a landlord." ”

Xiao Chen is also happy, after all, it is the first time to send a county party committee to be appointed, the scenery is infinite, and he keeps talking all the way.

"I often remember that Markham County is a good place, with a lot of land, rich products, outstanding people, talents, green mountains and green waters, beautiful scenery, it is the old area of the Red Revolution, located between the mountains and hills, between the provincial capital Nanjiang City and the regional capital Jinjiang......"

Chang Ning was also thinking all the way, Li Hongchang was also very caring, Xiao Chen was indeed a suitable and competent guide, at least he didn't have to doze off along the way.

Chang Ning asked, "Section Chief Chen, what are our specialties in Markham?" Xiao Chen said: "That's a lot, there are three local specialties of flower bursts, summer cloth, and core paper in ancient times, and now there are three famous products of lily, chili pepper, and three yellow chickens, but it's a pity, no one knows it in the deep boudoir." ”

Chang Ning smiled and said: "Reform and opening up, isn't it just to open the door to these special and famous products." ”

Xiao Chen sighed: "It's a pity that people are poor, and their thoughts are even poorer, I often remember that your river is booming, and some of us are slowly swallowing it here." ”

"Xiao Chen, can you give me a detailed introduction, good Valer?"

Xiao Chen obviously did his homework in advance, and said that Markham County is the head of the road.

Markham County is one of the first batch of old revolutionary base areas determined by the central government, under the jurisdiction of Jinjiang District of Xijiang Province, located in the west of Xijiang Province, adjacent to Central and Southern Province in the west, connected with Jinzhou City, the administrative center of Jinjiang Region in the south, separated by Wanchuan County in the east, is the suburb of Nanjiang City, the county is an irregular rectangle in the east, the longest from north to south is more than 100 kilometers, the widest from east to west is more than 80 kilometers, with a total area of 13,509 square kilometers, now has jurisdiction over four towns and 36 townships, Kang'an Town, the seat of the county government, is the county's political, economic, The cultural and transportation center of the county, with a total population of 639,000 people, and eight ethnic groups in the territory, including Han, Zhuang, Manchu, Yao, Bai, Hui, Miao, and Mongolian.

"Chang remember, the county seat of Markham County to Nanjiang City Airport is 208 kilometers, 71 kilometers away from Jinzhou Railway Station, and the 302 National Highway we are running is nearly 100 kilometers in the county, and the traffic is very convenient."

Markham is also a thousand-year-old ancient town, with strong historical and cultural accumulation, known as the Markham Dance known as the living fossil of dance history, the Guandi Temple built in 1370 in the third year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, the Wenhua Ancient Pagoda built in 1752 in the 17th year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty and the ancient Han people living in the house with a history of nearly 200 years.

As an old revolutionary base area, it was the seat of the provincial party committee during the Agrarian Revolutionary War, and once became the political, military, and cultural center of the red border area, and was sometimes called "Little Moscow".

"Always remember, although we are a little poorer in Markham, the people are simple, hospitable and warm, and after a long time, you will definitely like the mountains and rivers here."

Chang Ning looked out of the car and smiled, this Xiao Chen, must be Minister Li Hongchang's close and trusted person, the basic situation of Markham County, or to understand later, he has always advocated that hearing is false, seeing is believing, not to mention that he is not concerned about the natural conditions and cultural landscape of Markham.

Don't look at Xiao Chen's lively and simple, after all, he is a person in the organization department, and he has a strict mouth, so it is indeed difficult for him to introduce the leaders of Markham County.

The request made by Chang Ning when he met Li Hongchang was just a temptation to test Minister Li's mind so that he could find many ways in the province in the future.

Chang Ning asked casually: "Section Chief Chen, how many years have you been in the Organization Department?" ”

Xiao Chen said: "Chang Ji, I just graduated from university in 1983, first in the Provincial Department of Agriculture Technology Department, I studied agriculture, two years ago, transferred to the Organization Department to work. ”

"Oh," Chang Ning nodded, "Then you are an old organization, and you must be very familiar with Minister Li." ”

Xiao Chen said a little proudly: "Don't hide it, when it comes to generations, I have to call Minister Li's cousin, of course, there are several generations apart, their family is in Wanchuan County, and Wanjin County is next to it." ”

"Kissing is also kissing." Chang Ning said with a smile.

Xiao Chen nodded and said: "Minister Li has been working in the Jinjiang area before, we didn't have contact before, it was when we met when we worshiped our ancestors that year, and we knew that we were still relatives, and later, he transferred me to the Organization Department." ”

Chang Ning silently read Li Hongchang's information in his heart, which Li Yao first got from Director Chen of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee and specially shared it with everyone.

Li Hongchang, 53 years old, a native of Folong Township, Wanchuan County, Xijiang Province, graduated from Xijiang University with a degree in Chinese, and served successively as a member of the Party Committee of the Dongfang Commune of Markham County, Director Fu, Director of the County Education Bureau, Director and Director of the County Education Bureau, Director and Director of the Jinjiang District Education Bureau, Commissioner and Commissioner of the Jinjiang District Administrative Office, and Member of the Standing Committee of the Prefectural Party Committee and Fu Ji.

Authentic local snake, powerful faction, Chang Ning smiled in his heart, he decided, through Xiao Chen, first grasp this goal, no matter where he is, he will pretend to be a pure person first, and try whether others are sincere.

It is unimaginable for a person from another province to be the county party committee secretary in Xijiang Province to stay in peace for three or five years without anyone in the province to help him.

The driver, Lao Jiang, said: "Chang Ji, we have entered the ground of Markham County. ”

Markham County is really a good place, only one hundred and eighty kilometers away from Nanjiang City and Jinjiang City, if you want to sneak back to Zhijiang in the future, it is quite convenient, Chang Ning thought, when will I have to talk to Sister Ding, let Ding Yilong send his off-road vehicle parked in Lake City, with his own baby bump, it is convenient to run around.

The jeep slowed down.

Patting Xiao Chen on the shoulder, Chang Ning said seriously: "Section Chief Chen, I am not familiar with life, you can help me more in the future." ”

Xiao Chen was quite enthusiastic: "Chang Ji, you are too polite, what can I help you with a small section chief, there will be something I can do in the future, you just speak." ”

Chang Ning asked casually: "Is there anyone else in Elder Chen's hometown, do you come back often?" "No mistakes, no skipping words.

Xiao Chen said: "Markham and my parents, a younger sister, named Chen Xuemin, just got married last year, teaching at Markham Middle School, alas, I rarely go back in recent years, it is my sister, often shouting to be transferred to Nanjiang to work, the provincial capital is said to be able to come, I am afraid that she will be entangled." ”

Chang Ning smiled: "It's pretty good to teach, but it's not wrong to yearn for a big city." ”

Xiao Chen also smiled: "Chang Ji, don't you know, at my sister's level, maybe she will mislead people's children, do you know how she was transferred to the county?" That's because the county magistrate Sun Fu was the principal of the primary school in our township, and this girl ran to people's homes every day, and the county magistrate Sun Fu helped out, but the county magistrate Sun Fu stipulated to the principal that she could only teach some classes, and she didn't need to take the university exam. ”

Chang Ning nodded and smiled, and Xiao Chen added: "Sun Zhengbang paid the county magistrate and stayed in the same task force as Minister Li. ”

With a smile in his heart, Chang Ning thought, okay, Minister Li's thread is here with Sun Zhengbang.
