Chapter 9 Hot Potatoes

The New Year is coming, I wish you all a happy New Year!

................

The county magistrate's office meeting was held in the largest conference room of the county government. Before the meeting began, Yu Dingzhong happily introduced Xue Xiang and the deputy county magistrates. It turned out that in the last reception, except for the executive deputy county magistrate Wang Wei, only two deputy county magistrates attended. Most of the deputy county magistrates and Xue Xiang met for the first time today.

Speaking of which, Xiaoshan County has a large structure, with one district, three towns and three towns. In terms of geographical area, it is the first in Huayuan area. Of course, the most eye-catching one is the county government team of Xiaoshan County. Take the moment, including the executive deputy county magistrate Wang Wei and the Standing Committee Deputy County magistrate Xue Xiang, there are eight deputy county magistrates. In addition, the Zhengyin County magistrate Yu Dingzhong, the number of Xiaoshan County magistrates has reached an astonishing nine, which are enough to form a separate standing committee.

However, the number of people attending the meeting this time was seven. Because two deputy county magistrates were already sick and were in bed because they were old and took sick leave to rest at home. Even so, the county government team with such a lineup still made Xue Xiang stunned.

However, Yu Dingzhong's voice was clear and full of energy. He first introduced Xue Xiang's resume, and after a long period of praise, he began to introduce the deputy county magistrates. This introduction took a long time. Yu Dingzhong not only introduced everyone's surname, but also briefly mentioned what jobs they were in charge of and what achievements they had made in their respective positions. After the introduction, Yu Dingzhong was tiresome and full of praise, winning a lot of prizes.

Xue Xiang shook hands with his future colleagues and colleagues with a smile, and then sat down in Yu Dingzhong's position with the highest left hand. Then, Yu Dingzhong officially presided over the county magistrate's office meeting.

The topic of the meeting was very simple, that was Xue Xiang’s work arrangements in charge.

"Everyone knows the resume of County Magistrate Xue. He is also a top student at Peking University. According to his ability and previous achievements, it should be the most appropriate to be in charge of economic construction. But this stake is now on County Magistrate Zhu who is taking sick leave, and others are not there. We will rashly adjust his work, which is reasonable and somewhat inappropriate. Everyone discusses it and see what Comrade Xue Xiang is most appropriate to be in charge?"

Yu Dingzhong said happily. After saying that, he picked up the enamel cup in front of him and poured tea with a sudden burst of water.

Executive Deputy County Magistrate Wang Wei took over the conversation and said, "I think it's better to let County Magistrate Xue take over the stall on County Magistrate Li. Let's make this arrangement for the time being. I'm afraid that the subsequent arrangement will have to be settled after County Magistrate Zhu comes back to work."

County Mayor Li, who Wang Wei mentioned, was Xue Xiang's predecessor, who was in charge of agriculture, water conservancy, forestry, and was responsible for contacting the Youth League Committee, the Armed Forces Department and other work. To be honest, in this era when the concept of GDP had not been introduced, the supervisors had extremely heavy authority.

As Wang Wei finished speaking, Li Weixiong, the deputy county magistrate who was sitting in his head, spoke out: "Mr. Wang may have forgotten. Although County Magistrate Li has not been transferred, he has been leaving office for more than a month. Now he has allocated his work to several of us. Of course, logically speaking, we should take the responsibility to unload the burden and return the original County Magistrate Li's pile to County Magistrate Xue. However, nowadays, agriculture and water conservancy work have reached an extremely critical moment. Considering the continuity of work, I think it is appropriate to remain unchanged for the time being."

As soon as Li Weixiong finished speaking, the other deputy county magistrates followed and agreed. Even after being slightly stunned by the opposition, Wang Wei also agreed with Li Weixiong's words, as if Li Weixiong had Tianxian in his words, and could not touch them.

Xue Xiang smiled and looked at the people singing. Although the meeting was about discussing decentralization of power to him, Xue Xiang was not concerned at all, because caring was useless. He had already made the worst plan in his heart. After all, he was an outsider who fell from the sky and wanted to eat good fruits when he first arrived, and to let others give up the fruits from their mouths to him. It was impossible to think about it.

After several deputy county magistrates agreed with Li Weixiong's point of view, the atmosphere in the venue gradually became a bit cold. However, Xue Xiang still did not discuss the result of what kind of work Xue Xiang was in charge. Gradually, Yu Dingzhong was filled with eyebrows, but it was his turn to scratch his head for the moment. After all, he was the squad leader of the government team, and Xue Xiang, the third-ranked deputy county magistrate and the deputy county magistrate who joined the Standing Committee, obviously it was impossible not to arrange real work in charge. If Xue Xiang really didn't even have no name in charge, then Yu Dingzhong would not be far from being on the board above.

Yu Dingzhong coughed, stopped the noise in the venue, and smiled at Xue Xiang, "County Magistrate Xue, can you mention any ideas?"

Yu Dingzhong couldn't hold it and kicked the ball back to Xue Xiang. Sometimes taking the initiative may not be a good thing, such as now.

Xue Xiang said: "County Magistrate Yu, you should decide. Where the organization refers to me, I will fight. But now, I think familiarity with the entire Xiaoshan County is my top priority. Here, I will apply with you in advance. After a while, I want to take a walk in Xiaoshan County."

Yu Dingzhong smiled and said, "It's okay to have a walk. Only with investigation can you have a say. County Magistrate Xue keeps in mind the Chairman's teachings. At that time, I'll ask Director Tian to arrange this, but let's put this aside first. Let's solve your current work first, and you have to eat the meal one by one."

Xue Xiang nodded, but refused to accept the answer. After all, he was now blinded by the matter in Xiaoshan County. Previously, the kneeling of the villagers of Qiaokou Village still left a shadow in his heart. Just now, Li Weixiong's gentle demand for "work continuity" was exchanged for everyone's unanimous agreement. There may not be nothing hidden in it. If he rashly takes over the work, he might receive a landmine.

Seeing that Xue Xiang was silent again, Yu Dingzhong said intimately, "Little Slip Head" and turned to Wang Wei and asked, "County Magistrate Wang, I think you have a heavy burden recently. Is there anyone who can help me with County Magistrate Xue?"

Wang Wei looked at Yu Dingzhong deeply. I wonder why the old guy suddenly remembered to throw a red date over, but he was not slow: "I think this is the case. Finance is extremely important. I have been busy sorting out the triangle debts of the wool and brick factories recently. I really can't take it for the food at this moment. Let County Magistrate Xue take it first. I will take it back after I've been busy for this time."

Speaking of which, the county magistrate and the executive deputy county magistrate are born enemies, and where the wrong is, the wrong is in the overlap of the work in charge. Because the organization clearly stipulates that the county magistrate preside over and coordinates all the work of the county government, and the executive deputy county magistrate assists the county magistrate in managing the work of the county government, this word assistance is a bad thing. In this way, the executive deputy county magistrate also has the legality of being in charge of the work of the whole county. If a weak county magistrate faces a strong executive deputy county magistrate, this assistance can help the county magistrate Zhengyin into an empty tube.

Here, there are few conflicts between the county magistrate Zhengyin and the executive deputy county magistrate, and Yu Dingzhong and Wang Wei of Xiaoshan County are no exception. Although the two have reached the point of never ending, there are many conflicts. Among them, the financial work has become the focus of the conflict between the two.

Generally speaking, officials who manage people and want people to be obedient are nothing more than taking over the two parts of human rights and financial power, or both. In this county, the secretary in charge of personnel affairs and the county magistrate in charge of finance is the right reason, which constitutes a balance of power. Xiaoshan County is just an exception. County magistrate Yu Dingzhong is extremely unwilling to give this financial power to Wang Wei. Wang Wei complained even more, but he could not pass the flowers on the drums and then to the next deputy county magistrate. After all, those who have the power to manage the finances of the whole county are the executive deputy county magistrates in terms of law.

As for why Yu Dingzhong and Wang Wei didn't want financial power, it was naturally not because Xiaoshan County was poor and had limited financial income. In fact, Xiaoshan County is a well-known poor household in Liaodong Province and even the Republic. Although the money collected by one acre of three cents of land every year, from the central government to the province, the money allocated from Xiaoshan County is not small, even under the stern pursuit and cries of Xiaoshan County. Although the provincial and prefectural committees plucked hairs at all levels, the amount of money they got was really not small.

Therefore, although they are not rich in finance every year, they have money to live, and they live more prosperously than other brother counties and cities in the Prefectural Committee! The reason why Yu Dingzhong and Wang Wei regarded financial power as hot potatoes is naturally because the real financial power fell into Wei Qiming's hands, and they both couldn't control it at all. Because the Finance Director Mao Youcai, who was Wei Qiming, supported him all the way from the deputy director of the Matou Township Finance Office.

After all, things in the world are ultimately done by people. If you have the financial power of a county, you will naturally have to be implemented in the end - the Finance Director. Mao Youcai is behind Wei Qiming, and Yu Dingzhong and Wang Wei cannot move or smash it, so they naturally cannot hold the bag of money.

A seal handle that could not hold the money bag, so he wanted to have a big seal and could not make money, and he had a reputation for being incompetent for no reason. At this point, Yu Dingzhong and Wang Wei both regarded finance as hot potatoes. Therefore, at this moment, Yu Dingzhong suggested that Xue Xiang was in charge of finance, so that Wang Wei would feel like Yu Dingzhong sprinkled red dates to himself.

Not believing that pies fell from the sky is one of Xue Xiang's principles in dealing with things. He had never even thought that a group of evil wolves would spit out a bone, so naturally he would not believe that the piece of fat that suddenly fell in front of him was harmless.

After listening to the concert between Yu Dingzhong and Wang Wei, Xue Xiang was very clear-headed: "Thank you for your care in County Magistrate Yu and County Magistrate Wang. But I'm just a new arrival and I don't know anything about the situation in the county. Even ordinary jobs are hard to bear, let alone this is the most important part of the development of our county. County Magistrate Yu, it really doesn't work, so I'll find a place to stay below. After a while, it seems that County Magistrate Zhu has recovered, or a job that doesn't require continuity, so I'll arrange it for me."

Yu Dingzhong patted the table lightly and said, "How can this be done? Organize and arrange for you, County Magistrate Xue, to come to our Xiaoshan County to help the poor and urgently. If the superiors know that I have left the top students from Beijing University vacant, they must beat me up. You, County Magistrate Xue, don't harm others. Just like that, let's leave the finance department to you. We all believe in your ability. A poor and backward Kushantun will make you work in three to five months. I don't believe that the situation in Xiaoshan County is worse than that of the valley. Just settle down and have a meeting!"
