It was already evening when Liu Fusheng said goodbye to Zhang's mother and left Zhang Maocai's house.
He declined Zhang's mother's invitation to stay with him for dinner because he had already found a place to eat.
Driving the car to the downstairs of an old residential complex, Liu Fusheng took out a large bag of things from the trunk, went directly upstairs, and knocked on the door.
It was old secretary Li Hongliang who opened the door!
"Haha, if you don't come again, I will go out to Wenbo to celebrate the New Year!" Li Hongliang said with a smile, but his eyes were fixed on the snakeskin bag in Liu Fusheng's hand.
Liu Fusheng smiled and said: "These are the best wild red mushrooms carefully selected by my parents! This amount is enough for you to eat for more than half a year!"
Li Hongliang immediately beamed: "You are so thoughtful! If it weren't for waiting for you like a red mushroom, I wouldn't celebrate the Chinese New Year and would just stay at home!"
Nowadays, Li Wenbo's status in Liaonan City has been relatively stable, so his family has also moved here. On New Year's Eve, the whole family spends the holidays together in Liaonan City.
With Li Wenbo's current status, during the Spring Festival, the house would be packed with guests. Li Hongliang felt annoyed, so he went back to his residence to hide for a while. After those who came to visit him to pay New Year greetings left, he would go back to reunite with his children.
Before going to Zhang Maocai's house, Liu Fusheng had already called Li Hongliang. The old man had set up the pots in the kitchen and was waiting for his red mushrooms and Liuda chicken to be cooked!
Liu Fusheng was not polite and put on an apron to work with Li Hongliang. After a while, the chicken was put into the pot and the heat started to rise.
Li Hongliang returned to the living room and said with a smile: "When someone else is a county magistrate, it's the first day of the Lunar New Year and they are waiting at home for others to pay him New Year's greetings! It's better for you. Not only do you come all the way to Liaonan City to pay New Year's greetings in person, Get started and help with the cooking!”
Liu Fusheng said with a smile: "I am not the kind of official who is domineering. If someone really gives me a red envelope, I will feel hot!"
"When you are an official, some things are inevitable. You are still young and have just arrived. Many people don't know where your family lives. When you are stable, there are some things that you can't push away even if you want." Li Hongliang said lightly.
He has experienced these things, and his son Li Wenbo is currently experiencing them. As for Liu Fusheng, he has never experienced them in his previous life.
Liu Fusheng sat opposite Li Hongliang and said, "As we bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year, I suddenly felt a little uneasy, so I thought of you, Uncle Li, first."
Li Hongliang stood up, took two cups, and poured two cups of tea: "We haven't talked for a long time. If you have anything to say, please tell me."
Liu Fusheng said: "Bo Li probably knows about the situation in Xiushan County. This Xiushan gathering has indeed brought a lot of fame and benefits to Xiushan, but after all, it is a drop in the bucket. If it develops at the current rate, it is estimated that at least It will take ten years to make some progress.”
Li Hongliang nodded: "It's easy to grow GDP. It's nothing more than introducing some projects and investments. The current trend is real estate. As housing prices rise, economic data will also rise. But this is not the fundamental solution to solving poverty-stricken areas. What do you think?"
Liu Fusheng said: "We talked about this issue when I was still in the municipal bureau. During this time, I have almost figured out some of the situation in Xiushan County. I feel that although Xiushan County has mines, it cannot rely too much on mining! Mining is a thing where market factors have a great impact. It can make you rich, but it can also make a region suddenly fall back into poverty! The focus is still on developing specialty industries and tourism, plus adapting measures to local conditions to formulate corresponding poverty alleviation strategies in each poor area. That’s it!”
"Well, you are right!"
Li Hongliang smiled appreciatively and said: "No wonder your kid wants to be the county magistrate of a poor county! Sure enough, he doesn't have diamonds and won't do porcelain work! If you need me, or need your Bureau Li to do something for you, you can Just say it!"
Liu Fusheng chuckled: "Uncle Li still understands me! I don't need city financial allocations or special support! What I want is the independent development rights of Xiushan County's economy, as well as the cooperation between Liaonan City and other cities, and even major major cities. Talent cooperation channels for universities.”
Independent economic development? Talent cooperation channels?
Li Hongliang pondered for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter: "You are so ambitious! You want to be an arbitrary and authoritarian local emperor, but you also want to steal the way to recruit talented people in Liaonan City?"
Liu Fusheng said with a smile: "Others become local emperors just to get rich for themselves, but I want to lead the people in the county to get rich together!"
"Okay! Just say this to you, I will help you mediate this matter! However, I'm afraid you have to issue a military order! Otherwise, you, Director Li, will not be able to convince the Standing Committee!" Li Wenbo said.
Liu Fusheng nodded happily: "I have prepared the military order! Within one year, the poverty alleviation rate in Xiushan County will reach 70%! In three years, we will take off the label of a poor county! If we can't do it, I will go home and farm!"
Three years to take off your hat?
Even though it was Li Hongliang, he couldn't help but show a serious expression.
You must know that this is not an era when the country is fighting against poverty. If you want a poor and weak county to meet the criteria for removal within three years, and only rely on the strength of the county, this difficulty is comparable to climbing with bare hands. Mount Everest!
"Have you thought about it? Xiushan County is a tough place!" Li Hongliang reminded.
Liu Fusheng nodded: "As long as the city can support it, I dare to go ahead! But one more thing, Mayor Li can't poach my talents and investment! What belongs to Xiushan belongs to Xiushan, even the higher-level departments can't snatch it away!"
"You brat, are you trying to be a villain before being a gentleman, so you blocked the road in advance?" Li Hongliang laughed a few times, and then said: "If Wenbo can become the mayor, of course everything will be easy, but if someone else becomes the mayor, everything will be easy." The mayor..."
Liu Fusheng shook his head and said with a smile: "I think Bureau Li will definitely win."
Li Hongliang narrowed his eyes: "I will definitely win? Is it possible that you have some evil ideas?"
Liu Fusheng looked innocent: "How can I have any evil ideas? I mean, with Director Li's current prestige in southern Liaoning, coupled with Uncle Li's planning, there is no reason for him to not be the mayor!"
At this moment, the timer in the kitchen suddenly rang, and the chicken stew was ready.
Li Hongliang stood up and walked into the kitchen. The moment he opened the lid of the pot, the aroma of chicken and condiments spread throughout the room.
He poked the muscles in the pot with his chopsticks, and suddenly sighed and said: "The chicken is not stewed enough. It needs to be simmered for a while..."
After saying that, he turned to look at Liu Fusheng: "I have been making chicken stewed with mushrooms for decades, always at this time. This water, as long as the time is up, the meat will be rotten and the soup will be fragrant. But this time it is not I missed it. I just remembered that today is the first day of the new year. Every household is using fire. The gas fire in my house is not strong enough... The same is true for other things. Before you lift the lid of the pot, no matter how confident you are, you can't. Make sure the meat is cooked."
How could Liu Fusheng not understand this pun?
He stood nearby and said with a smile: "I feel that even if Uncle Li has decades of craftsmanship, there will be times when he does not follow the steps. But the pot is on the fire and the meat is in the pot. No matter whether the fire is big or small, The meat in this pot is destined to be stewed to pieces, and the soup is destined to be fragrant."
