Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 842 Small Meeting

The director nodded, looked around, and confirmed that Qi Tongwei had already left with a large group of people. Only a patrol team was left busy checking the information. He then breathed a sigh of relief and casually drew open the curtains.

The sunlight shone on the cactus on the windowsill, and the color of the entire office turned bright, and the voices of the two people spoke became normal decibels.

“Fortunately, this incident has nothing to do with our department, and the new deputy director asked us to do some work and didn’t refuse.

I said at the time that we should not take sides easily, nor should we offend any leader easily. Who knows what the situation will be like in the future.

However, there will definitely be a group of people who will be punished in the aftermath of this incident. We at the Department of Agriculture will have to change our situation again.”

The deputy director urged the director to continue telling the glorious history of Qi Tongwei.

"Brother, you haven't told me yet, what is the relationship between this Deputy Secretary Qi Tongwei and our Handong Provincial leaders?"

The director subconsciously glanced at the office door again, and after confirming that it was closed, he relaxed and sat on the sofa and continued speaking.

"At that time, Deputy Secretary Qi was the deputy director of the Jingzhou Public Security Bureau, and he did not concurrently serve as the deputy mayor of Jingzhou. However, two years later, Director Qi concurrently served as the executive deputy director of the Public Security Department.

It seems that he worked in the Public Security Department from 2000 to 2004.

At that time, Governor Liu was the director of the Public Security Department, Secretary Wu was the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, and Deputy Secretary Qi was a member of the same team as both of them and had a very good relationship with them.

Now you know, our department heads all knew about this situation, they thought that Deputy Secretary Qi's visit to Handong was just a formality, so they dared to do such a small trick. "

There are some things that the director dare not say. Back then, Qi Tongwei and Liu Dexu were just two department-level cadres, but they were able to overthrow their immediate superior, the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of the Provincial Party Committee, and then confront Zhao Lichun.

There were so many interesting things among them that the director did not dare to bring them up because many of the parties involved were still in high positions.

We can only use the superficial resumes of a few people to explain, so as not to infringe on the leader's privacy.

"So that's how it is. No wonder. The atmosphere in our department is really not right. The provincial government attaches so much importance to agricultural work, but the leaders in the team are half-dead."

The director reached out and patted the deputy director on the shoulder.

"If someone hears what they say, it will be a big trouble. This is our direct leader. You say they are half dead.

If the Discipline Inspection Commission removes them all this time, that would be fine. If they get away with it safely, as long as someone hears it and some leader holds a grudge against them, we will all be in trouble every day.

Be careful what you say next time.

But, what you said is really right. The leaders in our department are half dead. Maybe the provincial party committee leaders are not satisfied with them. Please ask Deputy Secretary Qi to come and give them a lesson. "

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

Qi Tongwei's visit to the Handong Provincial Party Committee was actually not just about the inspection team's business.

As usual, it was in Secretary Wu's office. Governor Liu was also there. The three of them shook hands and sat down.

"Tongwei, we are old acquaintances, so I won't say much about some trivial matters.

I asked you to come here this time for a few things.

Lao Liu, you speak first.

Secretary Wu’s office is also decorated with a row of single sofas, which is the same scene as the office where Ding Yizhen was arrested.

Liu Dexu nodded, opened his notebook and began to speak, because this matter was the government's work, so naturally he needed to speak.

"Tongwei, this is the work of the inspection team. These are the major measures that our Handong Provincial Government is preparing to take to restore arable land. I will report them to you in detail here.

First, and most importantly, we have temporarily frozen the province's new approval procedures for changing agricultural land to construction land, in order to control changes in land at the source.

Second, the amount of permanently protected arable land must be clearly stated. All 19 counties and 21 county-level cities in the province have reported the area of ​​protected arable land..."

Liu Dexu did not mention the urban districts here, because the urban districts are within the city limits and are coordinated as construction land, and there is not much protected arable land. This is also the result of negotiations between Liu Dexu and the management above. Liu Dexu also proposed several rectification measures, all of which are targeted measures.

When Qi Tongwei heard these points, he nodded in agreement and made notes in his notebook.

"First, we plan to build 2015 million mu of high-standard farmland in the six northern counties by 2000, and 2020 million mu of high-standard farmland across the province by 5000, accounting for more than 80% of the province's arable land.

Second, reclaim and ecologically restore abandoned and degraded farmland, and promote soil improvement technology.

Third, through rural land consolidation, idle construction land can be revitalized and replaced with arable land resources.”

It can be said that Handong Province’s rectification measures are very sincere, and this is also what Liu Dexu and Secretary Wu promised in front of the management leaders that they must do.

Qi Tongwei spoke highly of these measures and conveyed the guiding spirit of his superiors. The two main leaders of Handong Province also expressed their views on the spot.

After the procedural official talk ended, the atmosphere among the group became much more relaxed.

"Governor Liu, what stage has the 5 billion yuan allocation you mentioned reached now?"

Qi Tongwei's question hits the nail on the head. Many provinces have expressed how much money they will allocate and how much work will be done, but the money has always remained on paper. It is possible that they say one billion yuan will be allocated, but in the end only a few million are allocated in the past three to five years. It is useless. Every year when the higher-ups require a work posture, they issue a document and make a few forged photos, and they fool around year after year.

Before coming, the boss had discussed the situation with Qi Tongwei. No matter how good the relationship with Handong Province was, he had to confirm with his own eyes whether the money they talked about was ready to go down.

Qi Tongwei knew that Zhongjiang Province and other provinces had no plans to restore much arable land. The agreed 2 billion to 3 billion yuan in funding remained on paper ten years later, with only tens of millions of yuan allocated to fool people.

Liu Dexu knew that this was also the most critical issue. In order to express a firm attitude to his superiors, the provincial government compressed several projects and actually took out 2 billion yuan in cash, which was placed in the account of the Department of Finance, as the first phase of funding for the construction of high-standard farmland.

Qi Tongwei finally breathed a sigh of relief after he confirmed the document with his own eyes. If it weren't for this money, Qi Tongwei would not be able to explain to the boss, so he could only tell the truth.

"Then according to the rules, this batch of appropriation documents must be sent to Office X and confirmed by the deputy prime minister in charge."

The stage is then handed over to the top leader, Secretary Wu.

“Deputy Secretary Qi, the leadership team of the Department of Agriculture was negligent in their work this time, and our Handong Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection will conduct a thorough investigation.

We will also adjust the team in a timely manner and respond to the inspection team within the specified time."
