"Secretary Tong, Mayor Wei!" Lu Weimin walked into the office and saw Wei Xingxia also in Tong Yunsong's office. He laughed, walked to the water dispenser openly, poured himself a glass of boiled water, and drank it all in one go, "It just so happens that I'm too lazy to go both sides. You two are here, so I'll report it together."

"For the people, have you gone to Luxi? I ​​heard that you have been running Luxi very hard for a while. Huo Tingjiang complained to me two days ago, saying that you went to Luxi twice a week, but he refused to walk a few miles to their Lucheng. He said that spring is in full bloom, and their Lucheng is still worth a spring outing. I invite you to sit there." Wei Xingxia sat on the guest sofa opposite Tong Yunsong, smiling peacefully, "Lucheng has a good development momentum this year, so Huo Tingjiang is now confident."

"Mayor Wei, I'm afraid Lao Huo is talking about you. This is a disguised complaining that you don't care about their Lucheng. Last time I told him that it's useless to find me, and I have to find someone who works. Mayor Wei can't get through, so I can't help. He just wants to invite you to take a look." Lu Wei said with a smile: "This guy uses this trick to point out the insults and scold the poor. Can't you hear it?"

"Go to you!" Wei Xingxia no longer calmed down and laughed out loud, "It's obvious that you are biased towards Luxi, but now I'm making a hindrance inside. Do you want to take out the meeting minutes of the municipal government executive meeting and look through it? Everyone's records are on top, and whoever suggests and who says it is on top."

The Guangde branch canal from Luxi to Lucheng is transformed because this branch canal is related to the irrigation water for medium and low-yield fields in the middle and middle areas of Luxi and Lucheng. Due to disrepair, it is now necessary to renovate and repair it comprehensively. However, how to pay this cost is a problem. Lucheng has always said that Luxi is the biggest beneficiary, while Luxi believes that Guangde branch canal is mainly in Lucheng, and some are at the junction of two districts and counties. Only the last section is in Luxi, so Lucheng should naturally bear most of the renovation and repair costs.

"Hi, I'm not afraid to check the records. I remember very clearly. My attitude is very clear. According to the customary practice, the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau also has to bear part of the funds for the water conservancy infrastructure across regions. This money should be given! But Mayor Wei, you and Lao Bi disagreed. After finally cutting out a little, they only agreed to give one million. Hehe, Guangde branch channel, together with the 25 attached channels, 26 channels, twelve gates, Dou, Nong, and Maomen, many areas have collapsed and blocked. When I went to Lucheng, I was dragged to see it by Huo Tingjiang. Many of them were really unbearable to use. I guess it would be completely renovated. It would not be possible to have seven or eight million. The city only gave one million. Of course Huo Tingjiang had an objection. He was taking advantage of the problem." Lu Weimin said with a smile.

"Weimin, you are the executive vice mayor. You are the financial signing. Don't stand and talk and don't feel your back hurt. You will suffer from it yourself. Don't blame me for not reminding you. I will help you block the gun. Don't forget it." Wei Xingxia glared at Lu Weimin and said unhappy.

"Mayor Wei, I know what you mean. You can't just open your mouth, and there is no surplus grain in the city. But I think that because of the economic downturn in the past few years, Songzhou owed the most money in agriculture. Now it is time to have to pay back the debt. If you don't pay back the debt, there will be big problems in agriculture in the future. Our Songzhou is an old industrial base, so everyone focuses on industry. In fact, in the past few years, just in several major textile enterprises, the city's finances invested in the money to fill the holes.

It is even greater than the investment in agriculture in one year. This sounds like a joke, but it is a fact. Influenced by the attitude of the city, various districts and counties do not pay much attention to the investment in agriculture and water conservancy infrastructure. For example, Guangde Branch Canal has reached this level and is still slow. I saw that they are anxious for them. The two counties are still quarrel about the cost of reconstruction and repair, so I criticized Huang Wenxu and Huo Tingjiang. What is this not bureaucratic style?

Lu Weimin's face became serious, "Now the district and county level thinks that the investment in agricultural water conservancy cannot see immediate results. Where can we build roads, flat land and industrial concentration areas or industrial parks so quickly? But the less you do this work, the more difficult it will be to make up for it in the future, and the greater the harm it will be to agriculture. Our Songzhou is an industrial city, but whether it is Luxi or Lucheng, there are still hundreds of thousands of people who rely on agriculture to make a living. The saying that there is less impact on Songcheng and Shazhou is applicable to other districts and counties in Songzhou City and Songzhou City at any time, but our county and district leaders seem to have chosen to ignore this point."

Lu Weimin's words made Tong Yunsong and Wei Xingxia look solemn.

One month after the New Year, Shang Quanzhi was removed from the Secretary of the Songzhou Municipal Party Committee, and soon the new appointment came out. He was elected as the vice governor of Anhui Province at the fourth meeting of the Anhui Provincial People's Congress, which was considered an important step for his department-level cadres to move towards deputy provincial-level cadres.

Tong Yunsong succeeded the Secretary of the Songzhou Municipal Party Committee, Wei Xingxia served as deputy mayor and acting mayor. At the same time, the Provincial Party Committee appointed Qin Baohua, deputy director of the United Front Work Department of the Provincial Party Committee, as the Deputy Secretary of the Songzhou Municipal Party Committee, which completed this round of personnel adjustments in Songzhou.

Lu Weimin, who has been promoted to deputy secretary of the Songzhou Municipal Party Committee, has not been removed from the executive vice mayor. This situation is rare, but it is not an exception. For example, Lu Nan, deputy secretary of the Songcheng District Party Committee, has always served as the executive deputy district mayor, and Qingxi in the province is also the deputy secretary and the executive vice mayor. In fact, many people have realized that the deputy secretary and executive vice mayor who are in charge of economic work overlap in many tasks. This will sometimes be more conducive to the development of work.

"We in Songzhou have indeed relaxed a few years ago, not just in infrastructure construction. In fact, many district and county party committees and governments have no clear ideas on how to guide farmers to increase their income and become rich. There is no better way. They can even be said to be helpless and will only promote conventional means such as developing township enterprises and labor export. These two means seem to have many disadvantages or debates at present, at least I think so."

"Township enterprises have indeed played a crucial role in rural economic development in the past few years, but their disadvantages are becoming more and more obvious. Especially when the market economy is becoming more and more active, it is no longer suitable for the national conditions and provincial conditions. I personally think that this is actually a means of unscrupulousness. Although labor export can achieve farmers' income increase, not many people get rich. And more importantly, these labor exports are contributing to other provinces and cities. When they are old and cannot work, they still have to return to their hometown, which rarely integrate into the city where they have paid their youth and sweat for it. Their elderly care life and even medical care after they get sick still depends on their hometown. I don't know if the elderly care and medical issues of farmers will be put on the agenda in five or ten years, but I believe this is a trend to ensure the most basic elderly care and medical services for workers. This is not only the people's basic requirement for the first-level government, but also the basic requirement for our ruling party,..."

Lu Weimin was surprised. He didn't expect that Wei Xingxia could say such profound words. He had to say that he had a background in being the mayor. This view is very common ten years later, but it seems very impactful when it is put forward now.

After being the secretary of the municipal party committee, Tong Yunsong said less and less, as if he was implementing the rule that silence is gold. Of course, as the secretary of the municipal party committee, every sentence needs to be more targeted and decisive. Regarding Wei Xingxia's view, he initially frowned and pondered, and then stretched his eyebrows, and then became calm and chewed.

"The Martin makes sense. Our Songzhou is an industrial city and also a large population city. The regional development is very unbalanced. The urban population is more than one million, but there are still five million rural populations. Industry drives agriculture. This sentence is easy to do and difficult. How to drive it? Developing industry to attract rural surplus labor is a way. Developing agricultural products processing industry to digest agricultural products is also a way. Accelerating the urbanization process and absorbing rural surplus labor into the urban development of the tertiary industry is also a way. However, these paths cannot be said to be a drop in the bucket for the five million rural population, but they cannot be achieved overnight. In other words, this is a long process, so in this process we have to have more other ways to solve the problems of agriculture, farmers and rural areas."

Wei Xingxia and Lu Weimin listened attentively. Tong Yunsong's words were very targeted. Today, they talked about the three rural issues, and the two also wanted to hear Tong Yunsong's views.

After the new municipal party committee and government team formed, no decent meeting was officially held to discuss the next step in Songzhou. After Wei Xingxia became the acting mayor, he spent twenty days traveling all over the city and districts, and even used it on Saturdays and Sundays.

Qin Baohua and Zhu Xiaoping did not neglect either. Zhu Xiaoping started to go to districts and counties before the New Year. Before the New Year, he went to four districts and counties, and after the New Year, he finished the remaining districts and counties. Qin Baohua asked the Municipal Party Committee Office to arrange the research schedule the day after taking office, and began to focus on the municipal departments. He completed all municipal departments and state-owned enterprises within ten days. Sometimes he even used it at night. Now he started to go to districts and counties, and even Lu Weimin admired this woman's persistence.

It can be said that since the beginning of the year, the entire Songzhou Municipal Party Committee has been like a research team. Everyone is doing research. It is difficult to get together even if a standing committee is held. Of course, there are exceptions. Tong Yunsong and Lu Weimin did not have such a big investigation.
