Officialdom: From village head to provincial party secretary

"Daniu, do you think this place can be saved?"

Zhao Liming looked out the car window at the local people who were skinny but had big bellies and looked sick. He was inspired and asked Daniu who was standing beside him.

"It's hard!"

Daniu pondered for a moment and finally uttered two words.

Compared with Tu County, it's like heaven and earth.

Not to mention being saved, even just wanting to survive here is a problem.

"Yes! It's difficult, but I have to save them! If I don't save them, no one will."

At this moment, Zhao Liming truly realized how much his ancestors had contributed in Yuncheng in the previous life.

However, he was more aware that with his travels, the trajectory of history had also quietly changed.

At this time, he did not take action to save Yuncheng.

Then the place of Yuncheng might be abandoned.

"..."

Daniel fell silent.

Looking at Zhao Liming in silence.

Before, Daniu was just a person who just ate and waited for death.

He would even run away with others if he just had a full meal.

But since I started learning from the leader.

He found that his insights had changed greatly.

He began to think about the problem.

He began to think about the distance.

Even...like everyone else, I have my own ideals.

Maybe...his ideal at this moment is the same as his leader's.

Just save these people from the dire straits!

"Let's go! Let's go back and prepare to welcome new guests."

Zhao Liming coughed and gave simple instructions.

He knew that the Municipal Party Committee would welcome a new guest next.

"Yes!"

Daniu nodded, and soon the car drove away into the distance.

……

"Leader, Yuncheng is ahead."

"Okay, get ready to disembark."

At this moment, on a large cargo ship near Yuncheng.

Several clerks from the province spoke to an old man who looked to be in his fifties.

The old man's name is Li Zhenxing. He is the deputy governor of the provincial party committee and is in charge of the province's trade.

Originally, before Yuncheng was established as a city, it was a poor fishing village with nothing and was very chaotic.

He never took this place seriously.

However, since the decision was made to build a city here, Li Zhenxing had to shift his attention and even encouraged merchants from Guangzhou to trade with Yuncheng.

Moreover, in terms of taxation, 30% was cancelled.

Who would have thought that a new mayor was assassinated some time ago.

The other party directly cancelled Guangfu’s trade with Yuncheng.

When Li Zhenxing learned about this, he was instantly furious.

After much consideration, I finally decided to come to Yuncheng in person.

Now that he saw the ship approaching, the anger in Li Zhenxing's heart began to boil again.

Even if Yuncheng is established as a city, it will still be under the jurisdiction of Guangzhou.

The results of it?

Without his consent, they announced the cancellation of trade with Guangzhou.

This is a shame for him.

"Leader, slow down..."

"it is good……"

The boat finally docked, and Li Zhenxing walked ashore with the help of several staff members.

A group of vendors followed behind him, but they were very cautious.

"Behave yourself, everyone. The entrance fee is five dollars per person. Pay up quickly."

"Don't you understand what I'm saying? Pay the money quickly..."

"What about you? Pay the money..."

But when Li Zhenxing just got off the boat, he saw a group of thugs with knives in their hands walking out in front of him. The thugs started cursing at Li Zhenxing and others, as well as the group of vendors.

"you……"

Li Zhenxing was dumbfounded.

Entrance fee?

Five more dollars?

Why don't they go and rob?

"Who allowed you to collect city fees?"

Li Zhenxing instantly flew into a rage and roared at the leading thug.

"Who allowed us to collect city fees? Old boy, listen to me carefully. This is the unchanging rule of our An County since ancient times. When our An County is completely built into a city, it will not be five yuan, but ten yuan..."

The leading thug pointed at Li Zhenxing and roared.

"you……"

Li Zhenxing was so angry that his whole body was shaking.

What are the rules in An County that have remained unchanged since ancient times?

He didn't even know?

"Brother, hurry up and pay the money! We have been paying this entrance fee for almost five years."

"Isn't it? Don't suffer physical pain. In the past, some people even had their hands chopped off because they didn't want to pay."

Several kind-hearted vendors immediately stopped Li Zhenxing and tried to persuade him.

"You...I..."

Li Zhenxing almost vomited blood.

I have been paying the city entrance fee for almost five years.

If you don’t give it, will your hand be cut off?

How could this place be so chaotic?

"Pay the money!"

Li Zhenxing said to the person in his hand.

Soon, one of his clerks went to pay the money.

"Come into town!"

After receiving the money, the thugs nodded in satisfaction.

Then continue to collect money from other people.

"My fellow villager, don't the local people in Yuncheng care about this kind of thing?"

Li Zhenxing asked several people who were collecting the entrance fee.

"Manage? How? They are all members of the Municipal Party Committee."

"That's right, you're from another place, right? Not long ago, a new mayor came to Yuncheng. What happened? Guess what? Just because he wanted to meddle in other people's business, he was assassinated by assassins from the Municipal Party Committee before he even entered the gate. He was shot three times in a row."

"Yes, yes, I heard about it too. On the surface, this incident made a big fuss, and they said they were going to rectify the people in the municipal party committee, but after the rumors died down, nothing happened. The people in the municipal party committee continued to be at large. I also heard that the municipal party secretary went to Guangfu to find a woman."

Several vendors glanced around and spoke mysteriously to Li Zhenxing.

"I……"

Li Zhenxing's face twisted and looked extremely ugly.

Why did he come to Cloud City?

It's very simple. A few days ago, Zhang Biao invited him to drink. After drinking too much, he started to complain, and he said in his complaint.

The new mayor was too authoritarian and even did not allow trade between Yuncheng and Guangfu.

A large number of businessmen were also arrested.

Therefore, he was extremely angry and made a special trip to Yuncheng.

The results of it?

But he saw the scene in front of him.

"By the way, fellow villagers, what are you selling in Yuncheng?"

Li Zhenxing suppressed his inner anger and changed the subject.

"Sweet hemp grass! Big brother, you don't know that in order to control the local people to refine sand for them, the municipal party committee infected the local people with schistosomiasis. Patients with schistosomiasis will suffer unbearable pain. Therefore, we, the vendors selling sweet hemp grass, have a market. Every trip, we can make at least 20 yuan in profit."

"Yes, yes, if we can expand the market, we won't have to work so hard in the next two years."

"Although the entrance fee to Yuncheng is a bit expensive, I have to say that the profit from this kind of business is still quite high..."

When the vendors talked about this, their eyes lit up and they smiled excitedly.
