"Distribution of benefits!" Lei Youjian said, "Yuluo County is connected to the Qisa Mountains in the north. There is the most famous Qisa Gold Mine in Shuangjiang. The mining party is Provincial Gold Group Co., Ltd. According to the original coordination plan of the provincial government, because the gold mine requisitioned a large amount of fertile land in Yuluo, affiliated metallurgical enterprises caused serious pollution to the rivers in the region, and the annual gold mine income was divided with the local government. Alas, the contradiction lies in the use of this income!"
Fang Sheng said calmly: "How much does this income account for in fiscal revenue?"
“Very high, almost half.”
"Half?" Fang Sheng said in surprise, "That is to say, Yuluo's finances rely entirely on gold mines and have not developed in other aspects at all. The amount of gold mines is limited. What should I do if the resources are exhausted one day?"
"This is the conflict between the leadership teams over the years! More than ten years ago, the county party committee and county government debated over this issue, and roughly divided into three parties. First, maintain the status quo and enjoy the dividend income of gold mines with peace of mind. In addition to subsidizing farmers around the gold mines, they relocate villages that are increasingly polluted year by year, and other uses to increase the treatment of government agencies and institutions and increase teachers' income; second, they manage the environment, spend most of their money on pollution emissions and pollution control, and the rest invests in people's livelihood projects to improve the living environment; third, they promote investment parties, introduce preferential policies to optimize the investment environment in Yuluo, vigorously attract foreign investment, increase enterprise renewal and transformation, and try to get rid of the fiscal dependence on gold mines."
"It sounds like the opinions of the three factions make sense."
"It is precisely because everyone feels that their opinions are right that the leadership team will argue endlessly and no one will give in," Lei Youjian sighed. "Take me as an example, I am determined to get rid of the situation where gold mine income accounts for the majority of the finances, and plan to revitalize the county's industry, and use multiple laws to form strong support. However, whether it is tax cuts or interest subsidies, the finance has to pay for it. One more yuan is spent here, and the dividends that ordinary people enjoy are less. If their vital interests are damaged, everyone will scold me. Public opinion is one sided, and the other two factions have the upper hand... Minister Fang has also presided over the work of the county party committee, and I believe he can understand my difficulties."
"Which sect does County Mayor Fu belong to?"
"He is a native of Yuluo, and he is also a teacher, so he naturally tends to maintain the status quo. To be honest, Yuluo County teachers are among the best in the entire Yinshan Mountains, so the teaching staff is strong and the teaching conditions are superior. Yuluo County Middle School has been taking the junior high school entrance examination for six consecutive years, and the college entrance examination admission rate is among the top; the welfare of government agencies and institutions is enviable, and the application rate of Yuluo's civil service examination every year is even higher than that of the city; if you want to say wrong, as Minister Fang questioned, the amount of gold mines is limited after all. If you can't dig a high-quality gold ore one day, what should you do if the gold group says it to withdraw, what should you do? Don't talk about welfare at that time, I'm afraid that the teacher's salary will not be paid."
"Is there any governance environment in the leadership team?"
"Yes, Executive Deputy County Mayor Lu Xiaolu graduated from the Environmental Engineering Department of Xiaonan University of Technology. Propaganda Minister Zhou Xiang used to work in the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau. The two are hard-core environmental protectionists. Every time they talk about environmental pollution in the gold mine belt at a meeting, they are extremely excited and cannot communicate..."
Fang Sheng asked: "Which group of opinions is currently adopted in Yuluo?"
"The policy is unstable, and the basic idea is that the welfare that involves the interests of the people cannot be moved. The distribution of remaining interests depends entirely on quarrels. I won the argument and get some subsidies for enterprises. Lu Xiaolu and the others won the argument and increase investment in pollution control," Lei Youjian smiled bitterly. "I'm not hiding the argument. Minister Fang, I have had enough arguments in the past two years. I'm tired of hosting the tense standing committee. If the organization thinks that my leadership is not effective and I'm not a qualified squad leader, I voluntarily accept the organization's punishment and transfer it from Yuluo County."
It was Fuchoen's turn to be another remark.
"As the county magistrate, why don't I want to develop local enterprises and weaken the fiscal dependence on gold mine income? It can attract investment and revitalize enterprises cannot rely solely on tax cuts and financial subsidies. To be honest, I don't agree with Secretary Lei's approach. What's more, the companies he brought to me only saw that they built walls and built factories without substantial investment. From the perspective of the enterprise, they were suspected of fraudulent subsidies and hoarding land; from the perspective of the official government, they were suspected of conveying benefits! My point of view is that on the one hand, the people of Yuluo should enjoy national development.
The dividends brought by gold mines cannot beg for food, right? On the other hand, the main government must keep rich people, so that the people can have no worries, so that talents can be retained, and then they will burst out with entrepreneurial passion and investment enthusiasm! According to incomplete statistics, in the past three years, the graduation return rate of college students in this county has reached 46%, which is the highest point higher than that in the city. This shows that the strategy of this main government has begun to show results. With talents in a county, there is a market. Why don’t enterprises worry about not being able to prosper with market?"
Fang Sheng said: "Gold mines have very serious pollution to the surrounding environment. How do you consider this?"
"After I transferred to Yuluo two years ago, the first thing I did was to discuss the content of Qisa gold mine with mineral experts. According to the calculations, based on the current known storage and output, it can last for at least fifteen years," Fucheng said. "I think instead of treating the pollution side by side and wasting limited funds into the bottomless pit, it is better to spend a lot of effort to relocate the surrounding villages, wait for the gold mine to be abandoned to carry out comprehensive management and development of tourism resources. Doing so seems to be giving the problem to future generations, but the main government also has difficulties, because Qisa gold mine is directly under the provincial company, and the local main government has no jurisdiction over it. Although the agreement had strict regulations on pollution discharge and required imported sewage treatment equipment to be placed at the sewage outlet, we can't help it. The increasing pollution has made the cost of maintaining the normal life of the surrounding villages higher and higher, and in comparison, the relocation plan is more economical..."
"It is reported that you often publicly quarrel with Secretary Lei at the county standing committee?"
Fu Cheng kept swaying his hands and pondered for a moment: "I admit that quarrel is wrong, but the trouble is that there is no compromise in the distribution of the gold mine income cake. It is either used to subsidize enterprises, environmental governance, or improve people's livelihood. Everyone is unwilling to give in. What do you think? You can't do things against your conscience, right? Secretary Lei asked the people to tighten their belts to grasp the economy, but the economy is not like this, right?"
It was already 10:30 in the evening when the conversation with Fucheng ended. After that, Fang Sheng called the other two groups to understand the situation. The situation was basically the same. There are three points to summarize:
First, the three factions in the Yuluo County leadership team are part of the group. Lei Youjian focuses on supporting enterprises and tapping market potential; Fucheng advocates that it is beneficial to the people and hiding rich people, and has a great determination to relocate polluted villages; Lu Xiaolu and Zhou Xiang strive to manage the environment, and at the same time, through various channels, pressuring the mining area to improve and activate advanced sewage discharge equipment;
Second, there are no personal grudges between county leaders. Lei Youjian is a foreign cadre, Fuchoin is promoted locally, Lu Xiaolu is a reserve cadre of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department, and Zhou Xiang was airborne from the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau. There was no intersection in the officialdom in the past;
Third, after Fucheng became the county magistrate, the government agencies and institutions have raised their wages three times, and the benefits are three times higher than in the past. They have spared no effort in education and public welfare investment, so they have received support from the majority of cadres and the masses and have a greater say in the Standing Committee.
After reading their conversations page by page, Fang Sheng fell into deep thought and asked for a while:
"The last research report also mentioned the gold mine income distribution and the three parties' opposition, right?"
Mao Shunfeng said: "As early as Secretary Qian Hao presided over the adjustment of the Yuluo leadership team, he knew about these two contradictions. He specially chose two people who were good at raising the economy to come and work together. As a result, after the county party secretary visited the mining area, his concept changed. He said that the environment was so harsh, and he had to rectify it. He changed from an investment faction to an environmental faction overnight. After Secretary Xu arrived in Yinshan, he allowed Lei Youjian, who was the executive deputy county magistrate, to work together with Fu Cheng, who was the executive deputy county magistrate at the time, to coordinate internal conflicts and the county magistrate took charge of the economy. Unexpectedly... Alas, after the research report submitted last time was handed over to Minister Xu Li, she said four words, "Old tunes are repeated", and she ignored it."
"Why don't she plan to adjust the Yuluo leadership team again?" Fang Sheng frowned. With Xu Li's serious and meticulous principle of doing things, he should continue to follow up.
Mao Shunfeng shook his head: "Minister Xu Li didn't say that, and the investigation report was left unresolved after it was submitted to the Municipal Standing Committee."
"Are there any calls for another adjustment within the Organization Department?" Fang Sheng asked.
"I heard that Minister Li mentioned it at a ministry meeting that it may be quite controversial and failed to pass." Perhaps Xu Li disagreed, and Mao Shunfeng said it tactfully and implicitly.
Fang Sheng couldn't help but feel curious and said that it would be like this tonight, so everyone should take a break quickly and gather at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning.
After Mao Shunfeng and others left, Fang Sheng took a shower, went to bed and called Xu Li's cell phone, and said with a smile:
"I hope it won't affect your rest."
"No, I'm checking the construction situation in the new house."
"One person, empty house, pay attention to safety."
Xu Li smiled and said, "I'm afraid that a bad person would come out and punish me? With my secret weapon, I'm going to knock down all one in two minutes. I'm afraid I haven't found any feeling yet."
"No, nonsense!" Fang Sheng said repeatedly, "It's not about the length of time, but about the physical and mental destruction..."
"The one who was destroyed should be the gangsters, and their confidence has never recovered from now on."
"I really admire you," Fang Sheng said angrily, "I'll ask you for something, about the leadership team of Yuluo County..." He explained in detail what happened today.
Xu Li said: "I know why I refuse to adjust?"
"I don't know, so I called you."
"If you know, don't call?"
Fang Sheng understood that the two hadn't been together for a long time, and she missed her a little, so she smiled and said, "You said you want to be at peace recently, so I'll sink to the township and be at peace completely."
"Tomorrow night."
"Okay, I'll find an excuse to leave and make an appointment at another location."
Xu Li said: "The main responsibility of the Organization Department is to strengthen cadre management, do a good job in assessing, selecting and recommending cadres, and be a good assistant and adviser for the selection and use of cadres by the Party Committee. Do you think carefully about this passage? Did you mention assisting the city government in developing the economy?"
"Uh, it seems to be unrelated..."
"Since that's the case, why should the Organization Department adjust cadres according to the needs of the municipal government?"
