Chang Ning looked at his watch, it was still early before lunch, and he just wanted to lie down and sleep for a while, when there was a knock on the door. &&

With a sound of "please come in", it was Lin Zhengdao of the county party committee who pushed the door in, Li Xiaolun, director of the county party committee office, and Sun Zhengbang, the county magistrate of Fu.

Lin Zhengdao is less than fifty years old, is a native of Tongshan County, but has worked in Markham County for more than 20 years, is an old qualified party worker, after Chang Ning came, he just met on the day of registration, and he didn't speak yet, so he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, so he asked the three of them to sit down, and habitually gave everyone a cigarette.

Li Xiaolun took the lead in asking: "Chang Ji, just now I saw Li Ji from Wanchuan County, and took them to find you, but you didn't promise them?" ”

Chang Ning was a little inexplicable, this Li Xiaolun was headless and brainless, "Three, what are you talking about, Li Ji and I have been in the Central Party School for half a year, and we are also old classmates. ”

Li Xiaolun looked at Lin Zhengdao and Sun Zhengbang, and after a long sigh of relief, he said: "It's okay, it's okay, it's all my fault, I didn't report this matter to Chang Ji in time, but fortunately, I haven't promised them yet." ”

"Hehe, Xiaolun, what the hell is going on, look at the three of you nervous."

Lin Zhengdao leaned in front of Chang Ning on a stool, took a map handed by Sun Zhengbang, and spread it on the bed.

"Chang Ji, you just came, you may not know something, Li Ji and County Magistrate Liu are looking for you, they must be looking for the water of the Jinchuan River."

"This is the map of the Jinchuan River Basin, the Jinchuan River originates in my hometown Tongshan County, and finally joins the Jinjiang River, with a total length of more than 370 kilometers, mainly divided into two parts, swimming in Tongshan County, basically there is water in all seasons, and the downstream part, that is, the county boundary between us and Wanchuan County, there are six months of dry water every year, of which the solar calendar November and December and January of the following year, the Jinchuan River is basically cut off."

"As can be seen from the map, all the large and small rivers in our and Wanchuan counties are tributaries of the Geumcheon River, and the Geumcheon River is broken, indicating that these tributaries basically have no water, which is the dry season.

"Therefore, after the National Day every year, the two counties have to worry about the water in the dry season, prepare for the rain, store water for emergency relief, our favorable conditions in Markham County are that there is a thousand hectares of lakes connected to the Jinchuan River, and the amount of water it holds is enough to support the living and production water of our county, while Wanchuan County is limited by geographical conditions, the terrain is generally higher than the riverbed, every dry season, they can only sigh."

"Nine years ago, in order to ensure the water supply of Wanchuan County in the dry season, under the auspices of the leaders of the local party committee at that time, the two counties signed a seven-year water supply agreement, and every year our Markham County will supply 10 million cubic meters of water to Wanchuan County, and Wanchuan County will contribute money to support our county finance, starting from 100,000 yuan, increasing by 50,000 yuan per year, but this agreement expired the year before last, and there was a big dispute over last year's water supply, because we ourselves did not have enough water, and only supplied 6 million cubic meters to the other party, and Wanchuan County only paid 150,000 yuan."

"According to the forecast of the meteorological department, the dry season in the autumn and winter of this year will come early, so Li Ji and County Magistrate Liu came to us to finalize this year's water supply plan with them in advance."

Chang Ning listened to Lin Zhengdao's words, looked at the map and was silent, and then slowly laughed meaningfully.

"Three, tell me your opinions."

Lin Zhengdao and the other three looked at each other, and they didn't dare to speak easily, because Chang Ning smiled a little strangely, they couldn't grasp the true law of the leader, so they were professionally cautious, and they made a thousand mistakes, and they couldn't make mistakes in front of the leader.

"Hey, if you don't speak, I'll treat you as giving up your right to suggest, don't let it go in the future."

Chang Ning found that this Lin Zhengdao City Government was very deep, and he was also very wary of himself, so he first used words to trap him, giving up the right to suggest, which is equivalent to giving up his own responsibility, if something really happens, even if you don't spit out a word, you will never be able to get rid of it.

"Chang Ji, last year Markham County suffered the biggest drought in the past ten years, because we supplied 6 million cubic meters of water to Wanchuan County, and we almost ran out of water to fight the drought in the end, the people complained, Gao Ji, Gao Ji is because of this incident, and went through the retirement procedures in advance."

Gao Ji is Chang Ning's predecessor, before Chang Ning came, he went through the formalities and left, and he didn't see anyone at all, if Li Xiaolun hadn't mentioned it, Chang Ning would have thought that he was retiring normally, and said in his heart, this Li Xiaolun was also a little cautious, such an important situation, why didn't he introduce it earlier.

"I think we should reject Wanchuan County's water supply request this year."

Sun Zhengbang said seriously, which made Chang Ning stunned.

"Comrade Zhengbang, why do you want to refuse? Is it because they only paid 150,000 yuan last year? "No mistakes, no skipping words.

Chang Ning stared at Sun Zhengbang and admired his straightforwardness, he was in charge of agriculture, and his opinions were more weighty.

"Chang remember, according to the forecast of the meteorological department, this year's drought will be more serious than last year, according to last year's water storage estimates, our Qianqing Lake in addition to ensuring the county's living and production water, at most can supply Wanchuan County three or four million cubic meters, if it is really given to them, Qianqing Lake will be turned to the bottom, not to mention that in recent years, Wanchuan County's industrial and agricultural production has developed relatively rapidly, and the consumption of water for life and production is also very large, as far as I know, they will be short of 15 million cubic meters of water, and this year at least 18 million cubic meters of water shortage, The little bit of water we have extra is a drop in the bucket for them. ”

Chang Ning listened to it noncommittally, Sun Zhengbang's opinion should be in line with reality, Li Xiaolun didn't understand the situation, and what he said was in vain, and Lin Zhengdao, who he was looking forward to the most, kept his mouth shut.

When he was in Shanao Village, Shang Luo reminded him that compared to Zhang Fulin's straw bag, Lin Zhengdao, the capable but unwilling third-in-command, was the person he should focus on.

In the Chinese system, the county-level third-in-command is the most wonderful position, the first-in-command is in charge of the overall situation, the second-in-command is in charge of administration and the economy, and the third-in-command division of labor is party affairs and party building.

According to Shang Luo, Lin Zhengdao became the youngest member of the Standing Committee of the county party committee in Jinjiang at the age of 33, first as the director of the county party committee office, and then as the head of the United Front Work Department, and at the age of 38, he became the county party committee Fu Ji, and his career was unanimously favored by everyone.

In 1980, the leadership of Markham County was replaced, and the first and second leaders were both transferred, and Lin Zhengdao, the third-in-command, was studying at the provincial party school on a full-time basis, and did not arrive at the point, and in 1982, the second-in-command county magistrate had a cerebral hemorrhage, and it was supposed to be his turn to move a step, but at that time, a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee of Markham said, "Focusing on economic construction, the county magistrate has to let people who understand economics do it, and he is still the third, and in 1984, the county magistrate who "understands the economy" was favored by another provincial leader, slapped his ass and was promoted to the province, the position of county magistrate was vacant, and he didn't want to be surpassed by the executive magistrate at that time, Lin Zhengdao still stood still, and then this year's county-level general election, the first leader retired, and the second leader was to be transferred.

Luck, there is still a lot of money, Lin Zhengdao, who is arrogant and arrogant, has nothing, the depression in his heart can be imagined, one step behind, step by step, this year is the tenth year of his work as a county party committee in Markham County, the key training object of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department that year, is about to sunset, forty-eight years old, according to the current cadre four standards, the position of the county party committee is rising, basically belongs to the old difficulty.

Chang Ning sent Li Xiaolun and Sun Zhengbang away, leaving Lin Zhengdao alone.

"Lin Fuji, no matter what, you are my seniors, and I will rely on your support to build a team together in the future."

Chang Ning was polite and took the initiative to light cigarettes for Lin Zhengdao.

Lin Zhengdao smiled mechanically, a little subtle and a little bitter.

"Chang Ji, it is my duty to cooperate with and support your work, although the righteous path is limited, but I must do my best."

Chang Ning also lit a cigarette for himself, took a few puffs and said with a smile: "Lin Fuji is a little insincere. ”

Lin Zhengdao was stunned for a moment, he thought that Chang Ning was blaming him, just now discussing the matter of water supply to Wanchuan County, he did not express his opinion, "Chang Ji, if you don't supply water to Wanchuan County, the county's financial revenue will be less, and the cadres will scold your mother, don't look at only a hundred thousand, two or three hundred thousand, for a Markham County with a budget of only three million, it is not a small number...... As you know, the people of Markham County are not ordinary people, as an old revolutionary base area, the people here are able to reach the sky...... Anyway, it's a tough thing to do. ”

Chang Ning smiled slightly, isn't Lin Zhengdao a taciturn person.

"Lin Fuji, I kept you down, not to talk about work, but to talk about your personal affairs."

"Oh?" Lin Zhengdao was stunned again, "Chang Ji, you, what's the matter with you?" "No mistakes, no skipping words.

Chang Ning asked with a smile: "Let me ask Lin Fuji first, do you know me?" "No mistakes, no skipping words.

Lin Zhengdao pondered for a moment, "Don't hide it, after you came, I knew about you." ”

"Hehe, let's talk about it, the speaker is not guilty, say where to throw it."

Lin Zhengdao didn't know what Chang Ning was going to do, and since he had said this, he couldn't be reserved anymore.

“…… In short, I often remember that you didn't rely on Guan Yi to take a rocket, you mainly relied on your own hard work, if it weren't for the age and seniority, with your role in the birth process of Qingyang City, you could even be like that Sun Huayang, promoted two levels in a row and rose to the position of Fu Hall in one fell swoop. ”

Chang Ning looked at Lin Zhengdao and smiled without saying a word.

"Oh, by the way, you also have a nickname, the Iron Mouth God is a little half-immortal, and the locals call you a little half-immortal behind your back."

Lin Zhengdao laughed as he spoke, and Chang Ning listened and laughed too.

"Lin Fuji, now, I'm a little half-immortal to talk about your luck."
