After visiting Qiongshan City, the Qiongshan County Office hosted a "light meal" at the county office at noon.
The office address of the Qiongshan County Office is located in the "Weapons Bureau" in Qiongzhou Prefecture. It was originally the place where weapons were collected, stored, and repaired by Qiongzhou Prefecture. When they entered the city to receive the weapons, there were only a bunch of rusty and rotten weapons inside. Nothing. But the houses here are tall, the courtyards are spacious, and there are wells, so it was chosen as the seat of Qiongshan County Office.
"Light meals" are picked from food boxes at the county guest house. It's still hot on the table.
Fei Si, the veteran who succeeded Liu Xiang as director of the Qiongshan office, was very enthusiastic about Yun Suji's arrival. At the reception banquet last night, he said, "You are from the central government and your mother's family from your hometown."
Fei Si was transferred from Chengmai County to Qiongshan County. Although Qiongshan County has now lost its status as a county in Hainan Province, it is already the largest and most populous county besides Lingao. In Hainan's key development counties in the Second Five-Year Plan, the Government Affairs Council felt that it was not appropriate to let a deputy director with little local experience take over, so they made a replacement. The former deputy director was moved to a less populous county in the south to become county director.
Fei Si has been the director of the Chengmai County Office since the second counter-encirclement and suppression campaign and captured Chengmai, and he can be regarded as an old local cadre.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation, that’s not mentioned. Despite the restrictions of the Disciplinary Regulations, Yun Suji received hospitality that he had never enjoyed in Lingao. He laughed and scolded: "The places you are assigned to are really good."
Fei Si shook his head and said: "Yu Eshui quoted a passage from Ludwig's "Blue and White Nile" in a debate. I thought it was wrong before, but now I think it is a wise saying. This is what he said: Uganda is the most valuable The treatment received by a powerful chief is no better than that of a British worker in London." He murmured to himself, "I've had enough."
Yun Suji shook his head in disbelief. So Fei Si poured out a lot of bitter things: the cadres were slow, the masses were ignorant, the evil gentry were cunning, and the officials were pedantic.
He racked his brains to figure out appropriate implementation methods for various documents issued by the Government Affairs Council, and then conveyed them in the most understandable language. However, even if you break it into pieces and teach it step by step to the cadres, it is still difficult for the cadres to understand it, or understand it in their own way. Evacuations from south to north happened from time to time.
"If you catch them, you will die. If you release them, you will be in chaos." Fei Si smiled bitterly, "Only the cadres trained by Du Wen, Ma Niao, can still be used, but these people..."
"how?"
"They all look like revolutionary young generals. It can be said in four words: simple and crude. They tie people up and beat them at random at the grassroots level. They will use the 'iron fist of dictatorship' at every turn."
"The public has no objection?"
"Why don't you have any objections? But under the Ming Dynasty, officials were used to being arrogant and tyrannical. It didn't matter to them. The problem is that it is a rare thing for government officials to go to the countryside: either there is a life case, or it is to collect grain taxes. , how you spend your daily life, the government does not care. Now we are emphasizing the "power to the countryside". "Full guidance" is required. The tasks assigned are many and detailed, and they must be effective as soon as possible. What can the cadres do? Instead of rolling up our sleeves, we always beat the masses with old fists and arrested them for "reeducation through labor"... The masses said, "The world in the Song Dynasty was so tightly controlled that it was too much to bear." There were also scholars who cursed us for "imitating the Qin government. Death'."
Fei Si probably rarely had the opportunity to express his true feelings and vomit his bitterness like this, so he simply stopped eating, put down his chopsticks and kept talking.
The broad masses. Whether they are local or from the north, trivial conflicts often break out. The requirements for life are very low. Once the basic survival requirements are met, there is no motivation to make progress. In order to promote interplanting milkvetch, we encountered great resistance. It must be promoted through administrative coercion. As for those who cheat, cheat, and take advantage of the collective, they abound.
Although the local tyrants and evil gentry did not dare to directly confront the Senate, they secretly acted against them in many civil affairs. Continuously corrode and win over grassroots cadres. They are rich and powerful, and have great influence among the local people, bringing a lot of resistance to local administration.
local officials. They basically adopted Ye Mingchen's non-violent non-cooperation attitude, but since they had no power or power, it was not harmful.
"The officials of the Ming Dynasty are nothing to worry about. In a few days, the official resettlement method will come out. Those who are willing to go back will be asked to get out, and those who are willing to stay will be admitted to the training class. It is easy to arrange. On the contrary, it is our basic people, haha, it is really a long way to go. Fei Si said.
The most depressing thing is that there is no one to communicate with, not even the maid who collects the room. Once she went to bed, she naturally developed the consciousness of an official wife, and threw all the skills she learned in Fangcaodi to Java, and instead had a maid to serve her every day. Tired of everything but work.
"... I asked her to teach in the county primary school because she thought it would be troublesome to be the king of children. When I asked her to organize documents, she was dragging her feet - she always made mistakes. After talking to the female clerk for a few words, she became nervous for a long time and even asked me He said, 'I think the female clerk's appearance is not good, and it will harm the president's official career.' I already sent a telegram to Xiao Zishan yesterday to replace her!" Fei Si slashed his arm down, "I also said in the telegram that the office The department's training of life secretaries must focus on modern ideological education, and cannot train a group of candidates for official wives - I want to marry a eldest lady, can't I find it myself?"
For a moment, Yun Suji had a sense of superiority: "Yes, unless you are a female student from Fangcaodi who has been educated since childhood, it is better to be a girl from a rich family - to be knowledgeable and polite."
"I'm not interested in girls from rich families having their feet bound." Fei Si didn't understand Yun Suji's subtle show off at all. "I often read the history books of the British East India Company. The British established a complete structure in India, so Relying on thousands of company employees, these employees faced princes, monks, and farmers, and dealt with countless things. Although they lived in palaces and had many servants, in the end they only missed the rainy and dark British weather."
Yun Suji, who left Lingao for the first time, found it difficult to understand this emotion. Ever since the luxurious life of Chang Shide, Guo Yi and others from Leizhou and Guangzhou was spread back to Lingao, foreigners were unilaterally interpreted as eating, drinking and whoring to the senior members of the headquarters. Betting on everything.
"You will be bored with this kind of life." Fei Si said, "I asked you to stay here, I am not preparing you to become the county magistrate. I want to see what we can do if we conquer the carrot pits in more than 80 counties in Guangdong. "
"It doesn't matter if you become the county magistrate, the food factory is operating normally now. I don't need to squat anymore." Yun Suji said, "The purpose of our coming here is to spread the life in Lingao to Haikou and even the whole country. world."
Fei Si laughed loudly: "Then you have to sacrifice your youth for your descendants."
After the two had lunch, Fei Si talked about some basic local conditions.
"... Qiongshan is still a model county that Liu Xiang has run for many years. The Senate's investment is not small. In terms of the degree of 'modernization', the whole of China is probably second except Lingao Qiongshan. Grassroots governance is also relatively strong, but you can Don't be fooled by these halos, the actual situation below is specious." Fei Si reminded him, "Don't look at Liu Xiang's boasting at the meeting - I am the director of the county office, how can I not know his tricks? He has an IT background, can do statistics, and make good-looking accounts - it would be a miracle if even half of the various policies proposed by Lingao can be implemented."
Yun Suji nodded and said: "I can estimate that. The basics of dishes we accept are much worse than TG. In Qiongshan County like yours, let alone primary school students, there are probably not even 1% of the population who are literate. "
"The 1% have something, but to us, these people are no different from the illiterate. Sometimes they are not as useful as the illiterate." Fei Si probably felt that it was too hot, so he opened his mind and fanned the flames, "The illiterate are smarter. "Some things can be learned once taught. It only matters if you have a good brain in reading. It is more difficult to deal with someone who is stupid in reading than a donkey, and the sense of superiority is overwhelming..." He said and shook his head.
"It seems like the problem is not that big."
"Who says it's not? But it's still a good idea for you to stay in Qiongshan. I think you'll cry a lot if I ask you to go to the southern counties." Fei Si said, "But those counties have small populations, so it's easy to make trouble." . There are many people and things happening here in Qiongshan, and the cadres are not competent enough. Sometimes I really get mad..."
"The Ministry of Agriculture wants to build several large state-owned farms in Qiongshan, and the land use procedures are..."
"This is not a matter of just one sentence," Fei Si patted his chest. "As long as the land use procedures are approved by the Planning Institute, I will fully assist you. There is a lot of wasteland along the Nandu River, and I am worried that no one will fill it."
"Okay, Lao Wu also thinks that the conditions here are the most suitable. There is water, land, and some basic industry. In other counties, even the bricks, tiles and wood for building houses have to be shipped from Lingao, so we can't afford it."
"You have to talk to Lao Wu about the cement and steel bars. It's also very difficult here. The water conservancy facilities can't keep up."
"I understand." Yun Suji knew the meaning behind his words, "My arrangements for staying there..."
"What are you going to do? Do you want to have a glimpse of it and fool yourself, or do you want to find a village and have a real look at it for a while."
"Although I work in a food factory, I can still be considered a half-farmer. Besides, this world belongs to our Senate. Are you fooling yourself? I think you just choose 2 or 3 different types of villages. How good is it and how bad is it?" , there are all kinds of things. Every village must have different characteristics, such as those in mountainous areas, those close to the sea, and those close to rivers..."
"Good guy, you want to get Taoyuan experience."
"Where, if there is no investigation, there is no right to speak. How many effects did our campaign of bringing power to the countryside play? How many people can tell clearly?" Yun Suji said, "The atmosphere in the Senate is very bad now. There is nothing but fighting. Come on, we can’t keep messing around like this. We still need to do more practical things.” (To be continued.)
