Chapter 114: The whole township is shaken

Sure enough, that night Guyu came to the township government. He had inquired that Secretary Lu had been living in the office.

It was eight o'clock after returning from the countryside, and Lu Fan hadn't eaten dinner yet. Cai Yingfeng immediately went to the kitchen to arrange it. If the Secretary wants to eat, Chen Tianhao has to crawl up in the middle of the night to cook.

Seeing that the light in the office of Civil Affairs Station Station Head Yang Xuezheng was still on, Lu Fan called him and asked him to come to the office.

Among the several stations in the township, the Family Planning Station used to be the most practical. Now, with the increase in civil affairs funds, the Civil Affairs Station has become the most popular station. This Yang Xuezheng is very good at being a person, and his prestige in the unit is good. Lu Fan intends to recommend him as Deputy Township Head.

The essence of governing is to get people. The selection and recommendation of cadres are highly watched in the township government. It is a very complex personnel work, and the fairness and justice of its process are the key factors to ensure the stability of the cadre team.

If the top leader appoints people by nepotism, appoints people by profit, and appoints people by circle, although the cadres have no way, they will definitely be passive, shirk responsibility, and talk about it in their work. In the long run, it will inevitably be a plate of loose sand. Lu Fan now uses people according to the cadres' seniority and prestige, handles things according to the rules, promotes the document clerk and accountant first, and then puts suitable people in the positions of document clerk and accountant to cultivate them as reserve cadres. As for ability, this thing is too illusory. To be honest, no one is much stronger than anyone else. The quality of the township government's work mainly depends on the attitude of the cadres.

After Yang Xuezheng came in, he should have realized something. He was very expectant in his heart and sat down respectfully and said: "Secretary, what are your instructions?"

Lu Fan put down his pen and said: "Xuezheng, the work of the Civil Affairs Station this year is very effective. You have won 28 more subsistence allowance indicators for us, and the disability assistance work is also done very well. There are quite a few wheelchairs and crutches, and serious illness assistance has benefited 85 people, with a subsidy amount of more than 700,000. Our annual target responsibility assessment is at the forefront of civil affairs work. This year, we must continue to work hard, increase the docking with the Civil Affairs Bureau, and strive to go to the next level."

"Secretary, I will continue to work hard."

"Well, let's talk about some serious business with you. The Civil Affairs Station is a public institution, and you cannot enjoy the treatment of civil servants yet. Last week, I went to the County Party Committee Organization Department and recommended you to Minister Luo as a candidate for deputy section-level leadership in the name of the Township Party Committee."

Yang Xuezheng immediately said: "Secretary, thank you so much! I have been a document clerk for six years and a Civil Affairs Station head for five years. I am thirty-three years old this year. Thank you, Secretary, for giving me this precious opportunity. What do you need me to do?"

"Xuezheng, I recommend you out of public interest, but whether the organization uses you or not is not something the unit can control. Things are like that now. I suggest you be active and go to Minister Luo to 'report' on work."

"Okay, Secretary, I will go to the Organization Department as soon as possible. Thank you again for your promotion and help. Time sees people's hearts. Just look at my performance in the future."

Watching Yang Xuezheng leave Lu Fan's office with a smile, Guyu observed and pushed the door in, laughing: "Secretary Lu, you haven't rested yet. I came to talk about contracting the reservoir dam. It's my first visit, a little heart, not a respect!"

Looking at the file bag, Lu Fan smiled slightly and said firmly: "Old Gu, you may not know me. I welcome talking about work, but don't play this set with me. If you put things down, there is no talk about contracting. I'm not joking with you!"

Guyu was a little at a loss, awkwardly put away the file bag, and didn't know what to say. After all, he didn't have the experience of dealing with "big leaders."

"Old Gu, sit down and talk. I welcome you 'capable people' to return to your hometown to start a business. Only by handing over the reservoir dam to 'experts' can we create greater value. I heard that you used to raise fish?"

"To tell you the truth, Secretary, I still operate a fish pond now. It will expire in March next year, and I don't plan to renew the contract. There are a lot of annoying things. The other day I heard that the township planned to outsource the reservoir dam, so I was moved. Our township has good water quality, fat fish and fresh meat, and the environment is beautiful, suitable for fishing. As long as the conditions are not excessive, I want to contract two or three."

"Since you have confidence, try it. However, this contract price must follow market conditions. The township government also has to open bidding. No one can practice favoritism and fraud or damage the public to enrich themselves. No matter who contracts these reservoirs, I hope to create more employment positions and increase farmers' income. This is also our original intention for doing this work."

"Secretary, don't worry, if I can contract the reservoir, employment will definitely give priority to people in the village."

Lu Fan suddenly changed the subject and said: "Old Gu, are you a party member? Are you interested in running for village branch secretary or village head to lead the fellow villagers to get rich together?"

The idea of official-based is deeply rooted, especially in remote areas. Village cadres are the only positions that villagers can touch, and they are still very tempting.

Guyu thought for a while and said: "Secretary Lu, I haven't thought about this problem. However, I heard villagers discussing yesterday that our brigade secretary was investigated. This problem is too important. I have to discuss it with my family."

"Well, consider it as soon as possible. I estimate that the reservoir dam will start bidding next week. At that time, an announcement will be issued. You can make preparations in advance."

After going to the Township Party Committee Secretary's office, Guyu returned home and tossed and turned all night, thinking a lot. Early the next morning, he returned to Ningyang to discuss the big event with his parents and wife.

At nine o'clock in the morning, a Santana 3000 drove into the township government. Discipline Inspection and Supervision Office Director Sun Shaojie and Du Wenlong, as well as two other cadres, got off the car and went straight to the Secretary's office.

After entering the door, Sun Shaojie laughed: "Secretary Lu, I'm bothering you again!"

Lu Fan stood up and said: "Director Sun, see you again, welcome to guide the work! Yanxin, pour the box of tea I put in the cabinet, and go call Secretary Cheng."

After sitting down, Sun Shaojie said: "Secretary Luo arranged for us to come down to investigate the village two committee team matter. Please cooperate, Secretary Lu."

"Director Sun, I will make a statement first. I will fully cooperate with the discipline inspection work, will not shield or cover up the relevant personnel involved in the case, and no matter who is involved, I will resolutely investigate to the end and will never tolerate evil!"

Before long, Discipline Inspection Secretary Cheng Haohao came in. After greeting, Lu Fan arranged: "Secretary Cheng, Director Sun and his party came down to investigate the discipline-violating personnel of the village two committees. You must fully cooperate and must do a good job in logistics support. Don't let me have any mistakes!"

Cheng Haohao laughed: "Don't worry, Secretary, guarantee to complete the task!"

That afternoon, the Xiangyang Village branch secretary, director, Xiaoliuta Village branch secretary, Baimuzhuang Village branch secretary, and director, 8 village cadres were interviewed by the County Discipline Inspection Commission working group.

The next day, 4 more village cadres were interviewed by the discipline inspection working group, and they didn't come back after they went.

Next, the accounts of several village committees were sealed by the working group, and several accountants in the village were taken away.

This marginal small township experienced unprecedented shocks. In the impression of the masses of Baishu Bay, for decades, not a single village branch secretary or director had been investigated. Those "leaders" who were high above and arrogant were investigated 12 at a time. Isn't it said that "officials protect officials"? It's really incredible. That baby Secretary who just arrived is really a ruthless person!

With the meticulous investigation in the early stage of Baishuwa, the evidence collection work of the discipline inspection working group progressed very quickly. It has to be said that these village branch secretaries were bold and lawless, violating discipline and law as usual, and what they did was blatant and full of loopholes, which could not stand investigation at all.

On Friday, Lu Fan and Sun Shaojie returned to Ningyang together to report the progress to County Party Committee Secretary Gao Yuanfei and Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Luo Linghai.

That afternoon, according to Secretary Gao's instructions, the County Discipline Inspection Commission held a Standing Committee meeting and passed the decision to file and investigate the 12 village cadres in Baishu Bay. This year's discipline inspection case handling indicators have a place to land.

For Gao Yuanfei and Luo Linghai, these village branch secretaries and directors are small shrimps, and it makes no difference whether they handle more or less. But for Baishu Bay, it was like experiencing a magnitude 7 earthquake. Even the cadres of the township government were talking about it, not to mention the village cadres, who were like frightened birds, panic-stricken, for fear that the discipline inspection would come to the door suddenly.

Baishu Bay is ambitious this year, preparing to do a big job. The urgent task is to select and equip the "leaders" of these villages.

Whether the countryside is rich or not depends on the branch. This sentence is not unreasonable. The two committee cadres of the village are the most grassroots fighting fortress, and they must select young people with culture and strong sense of responsibility who want to do things, can do things, and can do things.

On Sunday afternoon, Lu Fan convened a Party Committee meeting to specifically study the staffing of the village two committees.

Lu Fan emphasized that it is necessary to break the thinking stereotype of "only selecting people within the village" and restrictions on region, identity, occupation, etc., and increase the intensity of selecting outstanding talents from groups such as migrant workers returning home to start businesses, retired soldiers, capable people to get rich, and university graduates from the township, so as to stimulate the internal motivation of village cadres to start businesses to the greatest extent, and encourage and guide village cadres to show their talents and display their ambitions on the "big stage" of the countryside.

Under normal circumstances, selecting and equipping village branch secretaries is the "private land" of the Township Party Committee Secretary, but Lu Fan put this power on the bright side, showing the character of being selfless, upright, and open and aboveboard.

With righteousness and courage to touch the hard, and two sleeves of breeze without dust, the leader takes the lead, and the people under his hand will naturally follow suit. Starting from the Township Head, the Party Committee members expressed their opinions and recommended talents. The meeting atmosphere was very enthusiastic, making everyone seem to find their original intention and mission.

After the meeting, Lu Fan went to Goumen Village. There is a breeder in the village named Gu Hao, who has been supplying mutton to the township government all year round.

This is to prepare "gifts" for Secretary Gao Yuanfei. It cannot be sloppy at all. Lu Fan naturally wants to check it himself and explain the requirements to Gu Hao clearly. ===== CHAPTER 115 =====
