Chapter 323: Reassurance Pill

On the morning of September 10th, the signing ceremony for the 500,000-ton biofuel ethanol project and cooperation intention between the Provincial Grain and Agriculture Group and Ganshui County was held in the Ganshui County Party Committee conference room. County Party Secretary Lu Fan attended, and County Chief Wang Baoguo signed the cooperation agreement with the Provincial Grain and Agriculture Group on behalf of the Ganshui County Government.

Grain and Agriculture Group General Manager Zhang Chengyi introduced: The first phase of the 500,000-ton biofuel ethanol project plans to invest about 1.8 billion yuan, building an annual production of 500,000 tons of corn-based fuel ethanol production device and supporting public facilities. After reaching production, it will process 1.4 million tons of corn annually, producing 500,000 tons of fuel ethanol, 300,000 tons of DDGS high-protein feed, and by-products such as carbon dioxide, biogas, and aerated bricks, with an average annual operating income of about 3 billion yuan. The second phase of the project plans to build a cellulose fuel ethanol production device with an annual output of 50,000 tons.

This project has the characteristics of strong radiation driving force for the first, second, and third industries, large demand for raw materials, and relatively stable market supply. It can promote the enthusiasm of corn planting in Ganshui and surrounding counties and districts, help poverty alleviation, and increase nearly 100 million yuan in fiscal revenue for Ganshui County every year.

Lu Fan, on behalf of the County Party Committee and County Government, stated that they will push for "start construction upon land acquisition" with a high sense of responsibility, actively dock, serve in advance, comprehensively sort out the project's factor allocation, promotion difficulties, and key nodes, and form an operation mechanism of coordinated cooperation among all parties and levels. Do everything possible to help enterprises solve problems, save costs, and increase efficiency, escort project construction, and go all out to create the best county for business environment.

After the signing ceremony, Lu Fan accompanied General Manager Zhang Chengyi to visit Laoshan Forest Park, and the two talked happily along the way.

The country's policies and the landing points of projects are at the county and township levels. It can be said that the County Party Secretary can use work opportunities and fiscal funds to contact leaders at most levels. As for whether they can turn them into their own "resources," it depends on personal ability.

At 3:00 PM, to establish typical examples, commend the advanced, and create a good atmosphere of respecting teachers and valuing education, Ganshui County held the 33rd Teachers' Day Commendation Conference. Ganshui County Party Secretary Lu Fan, County Chief Wang Baoguo, Deputy County Party Secretary Wang Zhikun, County People's Congress Standing Committee Director, County CPPCC Chairman, and Vice County Chief Li Junxia attended the meeting, and Wang Zhikun presided over the meeting.

The conference read out the "Decision on Commending Outstanding Contribution Teachers, Teacher Ethics Models, Excellent Class Teachers, Model Teachers, and Advanced Education Workers," and the "Decision on Issuing High School Entrance Examination Quality Awards."

Lu Fan, on behalf of the County Party Committee, County People's Congress, County Government, County CPPCC, and the 100,000 people of the whole county, extended holiday greetings to the vast number of teaching staff working hard on the front line of education, and expressed warm congratulations to the vast number of teachers and education workers who were commended!

"The County Party Committee and County Government attach great importance to education work, and treat education as a livelihood project and a virtuous government project that benefits the present and benefits future generations. We will do everything possible to increase investment in education and tilt towards education in terms of manpower, financial resources, and material resources to provide strong guarantees. Taking this opportunity, I will talk about four opinions."

1. Fully recognize the important status of education

The rise and fall of the country depends on education; the prosperity of the nation depends on talents. Education is a fundamental, leading, and strategic cause. The rise and fall of education concerns the growth of the next generation, the improvement of the overall quality of the people of the whole county, and the long-term development of economic and social development. Therefore, Ganshui must attach great importance to education, effectively care about education, and vigorously support education!

2. Strive to run education that the people are satisfied with

Education involves thousands of households and benefits future generations. At present, there are some problems that cannot be ignored in our county's education work, such as education resources still need better integration, and education and teaching quality and level still need to be further improved.

Speaking of this, I will say a digression. I guess everyone is concerned about the merger of grassroots schools. In fact, there is no need at all. I guarantee to everyone that in this reform, teachers' establishment will not be less, funds will not be lowered, and some excellent teachers will be selected to teach in the county.

What needs to be worried about is the principals. We must organize public recruitment during the winter vacation. The principle is to select the best, and the main body of scoring is teachers and parents! The County Party Committee and County Government build a fair, just, and open platform for you to display. If you have the ability, you go up. If you have no ability, honestly be a teacher and teach and educate people. Those who can be principals must have unquestionable business ability!

In the next step, teachers in the whole county will adopt the way of "going out and inviting in" to strictly grasp the quality of education and teaching and improve business level!

Ganshui High School must have a friendship with Ningyang High School, learn from their advanced experience, and build a provincial key high school with the strength of the whole county!

3. Further improve the overall quality of teachers

A hundred-year plan, education is the foundation; education plan, teachers are the foundation. Building a team of teachers with hard political thinking and excellent business quality is the foundation for accelerating the development of education. In this meeting today, the advanced education workers and excellent teachers who were commended are the leaders of the vast number of teaching staff in the whole county. I hope that teachers in the whole county can care for every student, care about every student's growth and progress, actively explore education and management methods for poor students, backward students, single-parent students, left-behind students, and disabled students, educate and influence students with true feelings, true heart, and sincerity, become guides and leaders for students' healthy growth, and strive to be teachers loved by students and satisfied by the people.

4. Create a good atmosphere of respecting teachers and valuing education in the whole county

Teaching is a sacred and arduous profession, which should be respected by the whole society. It is necessary to mobilize the strength of the whole society, form a strong joint force, and truly form a good environment for caring for and supporting the development of education in the whole county, making teaching the most respected profession in society, and making respecting teachers and valuing education a trend.

County and township governments and education departments should regularly study and solve major problems in education and teaching work, effectively help teachers, especially rural grassroots teachers, solve difficulties and problems in work and life, do practical things and good things for schools and teachers by all means, and first solve one problem: the average level of teachers' wages must be higher than that of civil servants!

All law enforcement departments should earnestly perform their duties, strengthen the governance of the environment around schools, maintain the legitimate rights and interests of teachers and students according to law, severely punish illegal acts that infringe on education and teaching rights and interests, and provide an excellent work, study, and living environment for the vast number of teachers and students.

Finally, I wish the vast number of teaching staff a happy holiday, smooth work, good health, and a happy family!"

After the speech, warm and lasting applause rang out in the auditorium, as if to drown the whole auditorium. Everyone's face was filled with excitement and excitement. This applause not only represented respect and recognition for Secretary Lu, but also expressed the resonance and touch in the hearts of the teachers.

The vast majority of teachers carry a strong sense of responsibility, but reality often makes people feel helpless.

Secretary Lu's speech let everyone see the dawn of hope and feel the power of change. Teachers have a strong feeling that Secretary Lu will definitely change the status quo of Ganshui education and realize the take-off of education!

After the meeting, Lu Fan began to look for candidates for the Education Bureau Director again.

Lu Fan has been an Education Bureau Director and a Vice County Chief in charge of education, and has made achievements in Ningyang, so he has a special liking for education work, has high hopes for Ganshui education, and must definitely do a big job, so he is more cautious in choosing a director.

Before get off work, Lu Fan called Deputy Secretary Wang Zhikun, Organization Department Head Guo Tongyu, and Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Zhang Qianyuan to the office to discuss, forgetting County Chief Wang Baoguo.

After the two arrived, Lu Fan said straight to the point: "Called you here because I want to study the candidates for the Education Bureau Director. Such a big bureau, the task is so heavy, it cannot be leaderless. You speak freely and recommend excellent and suitable talents."

"Oh, by the way, Qianyuan, the Discipline Inspection Commission should go through the procedures and remove Xu Ziheng from his post first."

Zhang Qianyuan nodded and said: "Okay, Secretary, I will do it overnight and issue the document as soon as possible."

Deputy Secretary Wang Zhikun said: "Secretary, in terms of business, Education Bureau Deputy Director Cao Chunlei has been doing business for nearly ten years and has been a deputy director for seven or eight years. He is a recognized business deputy director."

Lu Fan asked: "Tongyu, has Ganshui ever had a deputy director of a functional bureau go directly to the director?"

Guo Tongyu shook his head and said: "There is no precedent for a deputy director to go directly to a functional bureau director. Most of them are second-level bureau directors, and those who are sent down to townships to be mayors have only appeared twice, ten years ago. However, I agree with Secretary Wang's opinion. This Cao Chunlei really understands business, and his reputation is also relatively good."

Lu Fan asked: "Are there any other suitable candidates? Don't consider township secretaries, most of them are newly matched, they have their own tasks. Also, the leaders of these units that have just been adjusted are not in the scope of consideration. Frequent adjustments are not conducive to the stability of the unit."

After defining the scope, the four began to "pull" among this group of bureau directors, but after picking and picking, they couldn't pick a suitable candidate. As for the several deputy directors of the government office, everyone ignored them directly, and the County Party Committee Office had just been adjusted not long ago.

Seeing this, Lu Fan said: "According to the spirit of the Central Committee, it is required to pay attention to discovering and cultivating and selecting excellent young cadres in selecting and employing people, and break the inherent concept of seniority."

"The few of us consider problems, still look at seniority, look at years, look at order, and boil until 'water comes to the canal,' which is actually a manifestation of not taking responsibility."

"It is undeniable that cadres selected by seniority generally have problems of being conservative and hesitant, making organ work confined to old rules and lacking innovation."

"Many excellent young cadres, because of shallow seniority and short working years, know that they cannot be reused, their work enthusiasm is reduced, their own level is difficult to fully exert, and over time, they appear in the sad ending of 'Feng Tang is old, Li Guang is difficult to seal,' causing waste of talent resources."

"We might as well take this deputy director of the Education Bureau as a pilot and let him go directly to the Education Bureau Director, breaking the concept of 'seniority' in selecting cadres. After he becomes the director, he can quickly take over and carry out work rapidly, which can guarantee the continuity and stability of the work." ===== CHAPTER 324 =====
