Standing in the playground of the primary school in the northern suburbs, looking at the school building made of mud bricks, the roof is covered with thatch, and there is no glass in the window, Chang Ning's nose is sore, and he almost shed tears.

The housing of immigrants in the surrounding area is exactly the same as those school buildings.

There is no electricity, no water, no road, looking around, at a glance, except for the sparse weeds, there is not a single sapling in sight.

Chang Ning said to Ding Boqun with a heavy heart: "Lao Ding, you send someone to call the members of the two sets of teams of your district committee and district government, and the heads of subordinate departments, and I want to hold an on-site meeting here." ”

Ding Boqun didn't dare to slack off, and quickly turned around.

Zhu Xiaoyun, a reporter from the provincial TV station, asked, "Mayor Chang, can you shoot the scene?" "No mistakes, no skipping words.

Chang Ning nodded and said, "Since I brought you here, I will allow you to shoot, and you can record whatever you want." ”

The people in the settlement slowly gathered together, and many of them were dressed in tatters.

Chang Ning simply sat down on the stone-made ping pong table.

A group of children stood in front of the ping-pong table and looked at Chang Ning curiously.

Chang Ning asked a bald boy, "Xiaopeng, what's your name?" ”

The bald boy shouted, "My name is Wang Amao." ”

"Well, Wang Amao, how old are you this year?"

"Eleven." Wang Amao was not timid at all.

Chang Ning smiled and continued to ask, "Classmate Wang Amao, what grade are you in school?" ”

Wang Amao flashed a pair of big eyes, and suddenly couldn't speak.

A little girl next to her raised her hand and shouted, "Report to the teacher, he hasn't read it." The little girl regarded Chang Ning as a teacher.

Chang Ning sighed, feeling sad for a while, he was eleven years old, and he hadn't read it yet, what kind of society was this.

A middle-aged man who looked like a teacher squeezed in, looked at Chang Ning and asked, "Comrade, you are from the city." ”

"Yes, I was sent by the municipal party committee and municipal government, are you a teacher here?" No mistakes, no word skipping. Chang Ning asked.

The little girl rushed to say again: "He is our high school principal. ”

The middle-aged man said: "Gao Yuankun, the principal and Chinese teacher here. ”

"Comrade Gao Yuankun, hello, my name is Chang Ning." Smiling, Chang Ning took the initiative to stretch out his hand.

"Oh, Mayor Chang, you, are you really Mayor Chang?" Gao Yuankun excitedly shook Chang Ning's hand.

Chang Ning smiled and said, "Principal Gao, do you recognize me?" "No mistakes, no skipping words.

Gao Yuankun said: "When the Municipal People's Congress met yesterday, I was working at the CPPCC next door and heard your inaugural speech. ”

"Yes, I'll come over today, Principal Gao, who is usually in charge of managing this place?"

"Mayor Chang, welcome to immigration, I am the principal here, the secretary of the party branch here, and the director of the management committee appointed by the Civil Affairs Bureau."

Chang Ning sighed, smiled and asked, "But Principal Gao, I didn't seem to see your name in the official compilation album I sent to the Civil Affairs Bureau?" ”

With a bitter smile, Gao Yuankun said: "Mayor Chang, I, I am not a regular national employee, I am also one of the immigrants, because I graduated from junior high school and am the person with the highest education level here, so everyone let me be a teacher, and later became a principal, and the party branch is also elected by the party members, the Civil Affairs Bureau did not admit it, the director of the management committee was appointed by the Civil Affairs Bureau, and the main task is to assist the Civil Affairs Bureau to issue relief food and subsidies to immigrants once a month." ”

Chang Ning asked with concern, "What about your personal income?" ”

Gao Yuankun blushed, hesitated for a moment and said: "I am a private teacher, and the district education bureau will subsidize thirty yuan a month, and I will receive a subsidy of ten yuan a month for the civil affairs bureau to do things, and after a year, there will be a subsidy of five hundred yuan." ”

Chang Ning couldn't help but be in awe when he heard this, only to feel a dullness in his heart, and he couldn't speak for a while.

"Mayor Chang, I'm sorry, we don't have anything to entertain you here, even the drinking water is transported from a few kilometers away." Gao Yuankun looked apologetic.

"No, no, Principal Gao, you are wrong, it's the government that is sorry for you." Chang Ning held Gao Yuankun's hand again, and after a pause, he said, "Principal Gao, tell me about the basic situation of the immigration site. ”

"Mayor Chang, the area of the settlement is a total of 13 square kilometers, 90 percent of which is sand and gravel land, less than 0.1 mu of cultivated land per capita, basically every family grows some crops such as melons and vegetables, and the government's current subsidy standard is 60 yuan per person per year, 100 catties of rice, 100 catties of flour, 50 catties of millet, 3 catties of cotton, and 5 feet of cotton cloth.

Chang Ning asked again: "How many people are here, how many strong laborers are there, and what do they usually do?" ”

"There are 2,313 households in the entire resettlement site, which are temporarily divided into 67 villager groups in eight villages, and the actual population is 12,361 people, but only 10,729 people are registered in the statistics of the Civil Affairs Bureau, and the extra population is overborn after the implementation of family planning, and the Civil Affairs Bureau does not count them, and the family planning department does not care, so there is no only child here, almost every family has three or four children, and five or six are also very common, and there are more than 7,000 laborers between the ages of 16 and 60 in the whole resettlement site. As far as I know, there are four main destinations, one is to go down to several mountain mines in the city, there are about 700 people, the second is to work as a small worker in various engineering teams, there should be 1,000 people, the third is to do odd jobs in the city, the number is also 1,000, the fourth is to have skills, active minds, and relatives to help, there are three or four hundred people in this category, they mix well outside, and the life at home is more than food and clothing. ”

Pointing to the "school building" not far away, Chang Ning continued to ask: "Principal Gao, how is the education of the children here?" ”

"Our immigration school is a primary school and junior high school, tuition and fees are free, the school has 29 teachers, all of whom are from our immigration point, five of them are retired teachers, free for the school to teach, the remaining 24 are private teachers, the school has nine grades, the first grade to the third grade have three classes, the fourth grade to the sixth grade each have two classes, because many children dropped out of school, so the seventh grade to the ninth grade are reduced to one class, the whole school has a total of 18 classes of 823 students, The first-year enrollment rate is 67.5 percent, and the admission rate for junior high school admission is 17.8 percent, and there are nearly 200 children who can go on to high school in recent years, but unfortunately few can finish high school, and even fewer are willing to return to their hometowns after finishing high school......

After listening to Gao Yuankun's introduction, Chang Ning said: "Principal Gao, please go and inform me, I will hold an on-site meeting here later, and welcome the villagers to come and observe." ”

Not long after Gao Yuankun left, gongs and drums and shouts sounded around him.

Ding Boqun and Gao Qianjin came with the cadres.

On one side are the members of the two sets of teams of the Jinbei District Party Committee and District Government, and the heads of the departments under the district government, and on the other side, there are the heads of the black press, and the villagers gathered to see the excitement under the call of gongs and drums.

"Villagers, comrades, at today's meeting, I would like to first ask Comrade Gao Yuankun, the party branch of the resettlement site, to introduce to you the current situation of the resettlement site."

With that, Chang Ning pulled Gao Yuankun to the stone table tennis table.

What Gao Yuankun said was what he said to Chang Ning just now.

Ding Boqun and Gao Qianjin and a bunch of other cadres, after listening to Gao Yuankun's introduction, the expressions on their faces became more serious, especially Ding Boqun, who was closest to Chang Ning, glanced at Chang Ning's cold face, and felt that a storm was coming.

Chang Ning's grim gaze swept over the silent crowd in the playground.

"Villagers, comrades, below, I will first announce several decisions, first, the municipal government has decided that from today, the northern suburbs of the settlement will be officially placed under the jurisdiction of Jinbei District, and the management functions originally undertaken by the Civil Affairs Bureau will be handed over to the Jinbei District Government from today, and second, the northern suburbs will officially become a township under Jinbei District from today, and the name of this township is Beijiao Township, third, the first party committee and the first head of the Beijiao Township, served by Comrade Gao Yuankun, and the Beijiao Township has been approved for a formal establishment of 15 people, All staff are selected by Comrade Gao Yuankun, limited to the northern suburbs of the township, fourth, the northern suburbs of the township party committee and the township government from tomorrow to officially put into operation, all the staff in place, by the Jinbei District sent a working group responsible for training and guidance, fifth, from the beginning of the new year, the municipal government allocated two million yuan a year for the infrastructure construction of the northern suburbs, special funds to the Jinbei District Government to supervise the implementation of the ......"

Ding Boqun took the lead in applauding, and the cadres followed suit.

Chang Ning stretched his hands forward and made a downward gesture to stop the applause.

"Comrades, there is nothing to be happy about, I don't know what kind of mood you feel after listening to Comrade Gao Yuankun's introduction, anyway, I am in a heavy mood, we owe too much to the people in the northern suburbs for too long, we are just paying off our debts, so I invite you here today, not to let you come for sightseeing, but to put on your burden and be responsible, and to increase your opportunity to serve the people."

Speaking, Chang Ning pointed to the camera of the provincial TV station and continued: "The comrades have seen it, today I want to borrow the camera of the provincial TV station to record today's live meeting, that is to say, I give the comrades a chance to perform, of course, first of all, I want to express my position, I have made a military order to the municipal party committee, if there is no fundamental change in the northern suburbs within half a year, I, the executive mayor and acting mayor, will automatically step down, but." ”

"Please pay attention to me, comrades, because the next thing is related to you, because as a city leader, I have made a military order, then your Jinbei District Party Committee and the district government must also set up a military order, of course, the heads of your relevant district departments cannot come in vain, and you will also bring a military order back."
