Entering the officialdom by mistake and getting promoted quickly

Director Lin blinked and couldn't help but feel worried, and said, "Yeah, how can we deal with this?"

Xia Shuo thought for a while and suggested: "How about this? Let's borrow the pot from Liu Laogen's house. As for the food, we will pay for it ourselves."

Director Lin was a little puzzled and couldn't help but ask: "Where are you going to get food?"

Xia Shuo touched his pocket, took out about ten yuan from it, and said with a low smile: "If I go to farmers to buy grain with money, do you think they will be willing to sell me grain..."

Director Lin suddenly realized it and said in admiration: "As expected of a young man, his mind is very flexible."

At this time, the driver, Lao Zhao, came over, participated in the discussion in a low voice, and added a suggestion: "When Minister Mei came to the station this time, he made a lot of preparations in advance. For example, he asked me to purchase a lot of biscuits and some suitable for storage. bacon and canned food. I think we can bring some out tonight and invite Liu Laogen and his family to have dinner together."

Lao Zhao paused here, glanced at Xia Shuo deliberately, and added with a slight hint: "I have been driving for Minister Mei for several years, and I know how kind Minister Mei is. If we provide food and meat ourselves, let him Minister Mei will definitely be satisfied with the poor farmers eating and benefiting from it, and will definitely not criticize everyone."

Xia Shuo 1 patted his thigh and said, "Yes, let's do it. Not just for today's dinner, but also for every meal in the future."

Director Lin's eyes lit up and he quickly said: "We are responsible for providing food and meat. We only borrow the pot from Liu Laogen's house, but we invite one of their families to eat so that all five children can eat meat. This is a way to help poor farmers. Isn’t it that our poverty alleviation work has made a good start?”

The driver, Old Zhao Han, laughed twice and said very modestly: "I just want to make a suggestion. You leaders should think far ahead."

Xia Shuo directly put his arm around his shoulders and chuckled: "Brother Zhao, can you please stop being so humble? I can see that you are worthy of being the leader's driver. Your suggestion just now is clearly helping me and Lin director……"

The driver, Zhao, still smiled innocently and pretended not to understand: "No, no, I really just made a suggestion. Brother Xiaoxia, I'm so sorry for your praise. You are better than Secretary Zhou, and I like to communicate with you." "

The average driver cannot speak the word communication.

It can be seen from this that Lao Zhao talks well.

……

……

After the three people discussed it, they decided to divide the work and cooperate.

Xia Shuo was responsible for going to the village to find people to buy food, the driver Zhao was responsible for getting bacon and canned food, and Director Lin was responsible for lighting the fire and cooking because she was a woman.

It was already evening, and every household was cooking. When the smoke was curling up, the small mountain village looked peaceful.

However, Xia Shuo walked around the village for a while, and gradually began to frown, just because he smelled the fragrance of rice wafting in the air, but there was no smell of food at all.

It’s all about boiled and roasted sweet potatoes.

Just at this moment, a person walked towards me, carrying a bag on his shoulder, and was hurrying this way.

When the man saw Xia Shuo, he immediately greeted him loudly and shouted from a distance: "Director Xiao Xia, Director Xiao Xia, I will send you food."

Xia Shuo was slightly startled, then hurried forward to greet him, smiling and saying: "As expected of the village party secretary, you are so thoughtful. I was just about to find someone in the village to buy some food, but I didn't expect that you had already prepared it for me in advance."

This person was the village party secretary of Songlin Village. Hearing this, he waved his hand towards Xia Shuo and said with a bitter smile: "If you go to buy food, you will definitely not be able to buy it. This year, all our village is growing sweet potatoes, and no one is planting them at all." wheat……"

Xia Shuo was slightly startled again and couldn't help but look at the pocket the other party was carrying.

The village party secretary didn't wait for him to ask questions, sighed directly and said, "Are you going to ask where this food comes from?"

Xia Shuo nodded.

The village party secretary sighed again and said: "To be honest, this is the village committee's relief food. When I collected the '3 Ti 5 Tong' last year, I secretly saved some food. Director Xiaoxia, this is not corruption." ah."

Xia Shuo's focus was not on this. Instead, he frowned and asked, "Why don't the whole village grow wheat? Instead, they all grow sweet potatoes? Although that thing can fight hunger, it is not a staple food after all, right?"

The village party secretary put his pocket on the ground and explained while gasping: "There is no way, there is little land in the village, only 1 points of land per capita, and it is all barren stone fields."

Is it all a field of rocks?

Xia Shuo was obviously stunned.

Although he had studied in the city for several years, he was born in a rural area. When he heard this, he immediately understood and nodded subconsciously: "If the village is full of stone fields, it is really not suitable for growing crops, especially wheat. , the yield is frighteningly low.”

The village party secretary said 'hmm' and continued: "It was okay in the past few years, and the rains were relatively frequent, so even though the yield in the fields was low, some wheat was still planted in the village... But in the past two years, there has been a drought, and the wheat harvest has been too low. . So we can only grow sweet potatoes, barely ensuring that people don’t starve to death.”

It's already the 9s, but the village party secretary said the words "starve to death". Xia Shuo felt a little sad and couldn't help but ask: "Don't you think of another way out?"

The village party secretary had a sad look on his face and murmured: "What can we do? Our ancestors have survived this way for generations. Even if we want to find a way out, we don't have the ability."

Then he looked at Xia Shuo and asked eagerly: "Director Xiao Xia, I know you are following the big leaders to help the poor. Can you tell the leaders to allocate some relief funds to us this year."

Xia Shuo hesitated for a moment and looked at the other party's face full of desire. Although he knew that poverty alleviation and relief were not the same policy, he still couldn't bear to reject the village party secretary.

Since he couldn't bear to refuse, he could only bite the bullet and agree, saying: "I'll try to ask."

When the village party secretary heard Xia Shuo's weak tone, he immediately understood that this matter must not be settled. So the village party secretary sighed again, bent down and tried to pick up the bag on the ground again, and said: "I will send you the food, I can't Let the big leaders eat sweet potatoes like us."

Xia Shuo quickly reached out and hugged the grain bag and said, "I'm young, I'll carry it."

The village party secretary waved his hand and said: "You are a cadre, don't do menial work. If you help me ask about the relief funds, it will be considered a great help to our village."

After saying that, he directly picked up his bag and walked forward.

Xia Shuo had no choice but to follow behind.

……

A whole bag of grain weighed over a hundred kilograms. The village party secretary was already over 1 years old, but he was walking as fast as he could carry the bag.

After a while, the food was delivered to the door, but the village party secretary refused to accept the money. He just kept winking at Xia Shuo and reminded in a low voice: "Director Xiao Xia, don't forget about the relief money..."

While Xia Shuo nodded in agreement, he tried to force the money to him, so the two stood at the door and argued, and the sound disturbed Minister Mei who was reading the document.

Minister Mei walked out of the courtyard, first looked at the grain bag on the ground, and then looked at the money in Xia Shuo's hand.

With Minister Mei's intelligence and experience, he immediately guessed why the two were arguing.

She personally stepped forward and took the money from Xia Shuo, then handed it to the village party secretary, and said in a gentle tone: "According to the market price, more refunds and less compensation, no one is allowed to argue, we party members and cadres must take the lead in abiding by the market economy. "

Now that the big leader had spoken, the village party secretary did not dare to refuse. He could only accept the money honestly, but he still looked at Xia Shuo eagerly. That longing look in his eyes made people feel sad.

Xia Shuo took a deep breath, bravely fulfilled his promise, and asked Minister Mei in a low voice: "Leader, Songlin Village would like to apply for 1 point of relief funds."

In fact, with Minister Mei's experience and experience, she had already seen what the village party secretary was thinking. However, Minister Mei did not nod in agreement, but sighed softly.

After a long while, Minister Mei slowly spoke and said: "All of the 2 townships in the county want to apply for relief funds. Each township has more than a dozen villages, and all of them also want to apply. Relief funds. If you serve as county committee leaders, what will you do in the face of this situation?"

The village party secretary lowered his head anxiously.

Xia Shuo understood what Minister Mei meant and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If I were the leader of the county party committee, I could only treat everyone equally. The palms and backs of my hands are all flesh, and allocating relief funds must be done according to the rules."

Minister Mei nodded and said: "That's it." After speaking, he sighed again and said: "Besides, the county's financial funds are very tight, and there is not much money to allocate. If you want to solve poverty, you must think of other things. The way out..."

Xia Shuo was thoughtful and couldn't help but said: "That's why we need to help the poor, lead the people to make money on their own, and solve poverty from the bottom up. This is the real solution to poverty, right?"

Minister Mei was very pleased and praised: "Xiaoxia, you are very good. You have learned how to think as a politician."

When the village party secretary saw that there was no hope of applying for relief funds, the longing in his eyes quickly dimmed, and he murmured: "How can we survive this year? The whole village has to eat a year's worth of sweet potatoes."

Xia Shuo couldn't bear it, but there was nothing he could do. Minister Mei wanted to speak several times, but in the end he restrained himself and said: "Although I am a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee and am qualified to help you approve some relief, if I approve your relief, it will be unfair to the villages in other towns. "

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and the village party secretary finally gave up all hope and said goodbye: "Big leader, Director Xiao Xia, I won't disturb you anymore, and I won't delay your meal."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Minister Mei suddenly spoke up and said, "You stay and eat with us. After eating, we will have a symposium where everyone can work together to discuss how to alleviate poverty."

The village party secretary was a little surprised and said very cautiously: "I...my rank is too low."

Xia Shuo laughed loudly, deliberately livening up the atmosphere, and said: "You are the village party secretary in the village. No policy can bypass you. If we want to succeed in poverty alleviation, you, the party secretary, are indispensable for taking the lead in the charge."

The village party secretary was still cautious, so Xia Shuo forcibly dragged him into the yard.

Minister Mei nodded approvingly, thinking that Xia Shuo's progress was very fast. Not only could Xia Shuo understand her intentions in time, but he also had a good rapport when communicating with others. This kind of young man is very suitable for officialdom, and he is much more arrogant than her. My secretary is much better.

If you are an official for one term and administer the government for the first time, if you are only arrogant but don't know how to be friendly, you will become a superior official. Secretary Zhou is exactly in this situation, so Minister Mei is unwilling to continue to train him.

But Minister Mei appreciates Xia Shuo more and more.
