Third,
Zhao Tiewei arrived on Monday. On the same day, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, the deputy governor, and the head of the organization department personally sent Zhao Tiewei to his post. The grand process did not need to be described in detail. Only Yan Feng was sincere. The others wanted to let the big boss know that he attached great importance to the green work and was anxious about what the big boss was anxious about. When a department-level cadre took office, he created a record for accompanying the most leaders.
Zhao Tiewei had always been working on the surface and was not familiar with the work on the Internet. After he took office, he learned in detail that although he was a provincial office in name, his work was actually much simpler than the work in the county.
According to the official establishment, there were only eleven departments in the Provincial Forest Department: Office, Regulations Division, Affocation Division, Forest Resources Division, Reformation and Development Division, Finance Division, Science and Technology Division, General Division, Human Resources Division, Education Division, and Forest Police Station. There were only eighty-eight people in the official establishment, with one director, three deputy directors, fourteen directors, and fourteen deputy directors. This was much simpler than the establishment of the county government. There were 38 official departments under the county government, and no less than 15 temporary departments were added in the later stages. There were 14 official departments under the county government, totaling nearly 70 departments. This was the difference between online and online.
However, if the department-level officials from the provincial government went to the cities and counties below, they would be very impressive. The officials from the provinces would all call the department-level officials provincial leaders, and the leaders of the cities and counties would personally receive them. However, he might not listen to what you said, or he might not listen to everything you said. There was basically no one who insisted on following your orders. The glory was only on the surface, unlike the county party secretary who held the power of life and death in his hands. No matter what he said, he would not go back on his word. The reception below was in fear and trepidation. They would never dare to disobey you.
Zhao Tiewei made a new discovery. According to the rules, there should be three deputy directors, but now there were as many as eleven. Why were there so many? There were only 56 people in the department, but in fact, there were more than 80 people, which was equivalent to the 88 people in the entire provincial forest department. Too many chickens don't lay eggs, and too many people cause trouble.
After some understanding, he found out that the additional deputy directors were all the deputy directors of the first-level hall. Most of these people were not on good terms with the original leaders. They could not pee in the same pot. They were old and had a bad temper. The original unit could not tolerate them, or they could not survive in the original unit. The provincial leaders arranged these people here, and the Forest Department became a nursing home. It was even simpler for a department head. If you wanted to bring your people, you had to bring my people. If you didn't bring my people, I wouldn't agree to your plan. Therefore, the carrots and cabbages were packaged and sold, and the more they were sold, the more they were sold.
Zhao Tiewei felt uncomfortable. Eleven deputy directors, including himself, were enough to play mahjong at three tables. There were also secretaries, deputy secretaries, and disciplinary committee secretaries. They formed a substitute lineup. No wonder they had no combat power. Some of the deputy directors came once a month, and some of them could not be seen. The youngest was already 53 years old. Everyone had a backer in the province, and it was not easy to shave their heads. These people had a characteristic-they were mostly half-bald, white-haired, and had big bellies. Most of them were good at playing politics, but not many of them really worked.
Zhao Tiewei first exchanged opinions with Cui Yonghao. The departments and offices directly under the provincial government were all online units. They were different from cities, districts, counties, and towns. The departments and offices were all under the responsibility of the administrative leader. The secretary was only cooperating with the work and was in charge of the party affairs. The administrative department had the final say on major matters and minor matters. However, the secretary's vote at the party group meeting was very important.
Zhao Tiewei had to fight for this position. Cui Yonghao was 57 years old this year and was once a local general, but his ability was relatively weak. Now that he had fallen to this retirement position, there was no possibility of promotion. He clearly expressed his support for Zhao Tiewei's work, which made Zhao Tiewei very comfortable.
The deputy director, Lu Peisong, was fifty-three years old this year. He was the youngest in the team and held the most important position. He was an old man in the hall. However, this time, the provincial party secretary was angry at the provincial department and dismissed the top leader. In fact, it was a negation of the entire team. It was absolutely unreasonable for the deputy director to say that he had no responsibility. The fact that he did not choose a top leader from the original team explained this problem. Lu Peisong had always been in a low mood. He was the most familiar with the deputy director in terms of business and was also the most capable. It was just that he had been suppressed by the original leader and could not exert his strength. Zhao Tiewei understood a principle when he was in the leadership position of the county level. If he wanted to do a good job, he must play the role of a team. How many nails could a person hit even if he was full of iron?
Zhao Tiewei and Lu Peisong had a conversation. They only adjusted the division of labor once and pulled Lu Peisong over. He put the most important finance department and the silviculture department under Lu Peisong's division of labor. This made Lu Peisong very touched. Finance was a power that no one would give up. Zhao Tiewei easily handed it to him. Lu Peisong could not help but be touched. There was only one thing that Zhao Tiewei would not let go of: In his eyes, human rights were the most important.
At the first team meeting of the provincial department, Zhao Tiewei brought out his overall plan. It seemed that he inadvertently said that in order to deal with the work attitude of the city and county forest bureau directors, he had asked the big boss for an imperial sword. The person who cooperated with him to wield this sword was the director of the first division of the provincial party committee organization department. The deputy directors all knew that this director was the one who assessed the department-level officials. His words could sometimes be directly directed to the big boss. They could also tell that this sword could be used to stab the city and county bureau chiefs below, but it could also be used to swing it left and right. The old guys had been in the officialdom for a long time and understood the principle of three fires when a new official took office. They all had an idea in their hearts. They just had to support you in everything. No matter what, the first sword should not stab themselves. This kid was in a state of risking his life, and the big boss admired him very much. It was best to keep a respectful distance from him. The dismissal of the old director had made these people frightened.
After the team meeting, they basically came to a consensus. After three years of hard work, the elderly who were not in good health could take sick leave at home. Their treatment would not change. They had to work when they went to work. Zhao Tiewei spent about ten days walking around. Although it was just a cursory glance, he discovered a shocking secret. He had a shaobing in his hand that restricted more than 60% of the city and county forest bureau chiefs in the province. He had the idea to start working.
Dongchuan Province's Greening Conference was scheduled to be held on November 16th. Zhao Tiewei liked this day and wanted to start off smoothly.
The participants were: the provincial department deputy level and above, the heads of the provincial and county forest bureau. The notice was particularly clear. After the heads of the provincial and county forest bureau signed the notice, they teleported it back to the provincial office. They did not receive the notice as an excuse. The notice clearly stated that except for those who were hospitalized in the hospital or those who went abroad for an investigation, all of them were allowed to attend the meeting. No leave was allowed. [Meeting venue: Sanhe City Fengshan County Government Guest House, which is Dafeng Hotel.] During the meeting, everyone will visit Fengshan County's green work. Simply put, Fengshan County is the standard of your city.
Early in the morning of the meeting, the venue was filled with people. Zhao Tiewei sat in the middle of a row of tables covered in red cloth. Many reporters from the provincial television station, provincial newspaper, evening newspaper, and radio station had arrived. Everyone noticed that the provincial party committee's propaganda department had also come and set up cameras.
On both sides of Zhao Tiewei were the deputies of the provincial government. The lineup was huge and old, while Zhao Tiewei was young and more conspicuous. A wooden bucket and an iron chain as thick as a child's arm were strangely placed on the platform. Many people were wondering what it was for.
At 8:30 pm, Zhao Tiewei started talking."It's time. Comrades in the office, please bring the attendance book to the leader's platform.”
There were also people walking into the venue one after another. Those who were late were invited to the first row. Zhao Tiewei picked up the attendance book and took a look. Other than those who were late, there were four people who were confirmed not to be present. The gathering had begun yesterday afternoon. The Chaoyang City Bureau Chief of the Forest Bureau had sent a deputy. The county bureau chief of the Forest Bureau, the provincial law department, and the general department's deputy directors were not present.
Zhao Tiewei used the microphone to say to everyone,"Right now, there are a total of four comrades who have not attended the meeting and have not applied for leave. We will ask the comrades in the office to call and ask for the reason. In addition, all the late comrades in the first row, please stand up.”
Zhao Tiewei counted sixteen people and said,"The sixteen comrades who are late, please turn around and face the province's forest officials. Look at your watch and sit down in three minutes.”
The whole room burst into laughter. Two of the 16 latecomers were women. When they faced the crowd, they covered their faces with their hands. Although the rest of the men did not cover their faces, their faces were as red as monkeys 'butts. These people were the leaders of the unit. The meeting time was based on them. Today…
The deputy director of the office, Wei Xiaoming, handed over the call records of the people who did not participate in the meeting. Zhao Tiewei looked at it and said loudly,"The reason why the four of you didn't ask for leave and didn't come to the meeting is as follows: The director of the Chaoyang City Bureau of Forests was attending a wedding today. A county bureau chief had drunk too much last night. He had a headache and was not feeling well. The deputy director of the Regulations Department of the provincial government had forgotten about it, and the deputy director of the General Affairs Department had turned off his phone. When he called his house, his wife said that he had left at dawn to go fishing.”The audience laughed again.
Zhao Tiewei suddenly raised his voice and said," Comrades, my name is Zhao Tiewei. I've just become the director of the Provincial Forest Department. I'll reveal a secret to everyone. I picked up this official hat on my head by accident.”
There was another round of laughter below the stage. Some people on the stage also laughed. Some people even thought that this was not like what a director would say. It was more like a township head. The officials below the stage were all from the forest industry and were quite familiar with each other. They had heard of Director Zhao Tiewei's background. There were long rumors that Zhao Tiewei had picked up the title of director and put it on.
After the laughter stopped, Zhao Tiewei continued,"Some people say that you don't cherish the things you pick up, but I don't think so. What I picked up is the last place in the country for the provincial green work! I picked up the responsibility of removing the last position in Dongchuan Province's national ranking! I hope to use this platform to work together with all the forest officials in the province to bring the province's green work to a new level!”
The audience applauded. Zhao Tiewei continued," There's a bucket on the platform. It's made of wood. It's an ordinary wooden bucket. We asked the staff to add water to it.”
A staff member came over with a bucket that was the same size as the wooden bucket. He added water into the wooden bucket. The wooden bucket was made of wooden planks. One of the planks was only half the height of the wooden bucket. The water flowed out halfway and could not be added anymore. Zhao Tiewei invited two female staff members over and pulled the iron chain that was as thick as a child's arm to both ends. The two ladies did not use too much strength, and the iron chain broke. Everyone was baffled.
Zhao Tiewei began to speak."Comrades, do you see this wooden bucket? The height of the water doesn't depend on the highest plank, but on the lowest one. Why would such a thick iron chain break after being pulled? It was because there was a thin iron wire connecting the middle part of the chain. The fate of such a thick iron chain was determined by this thin iron wire, which was less than 1/1000 of the weight of the entire chain.”
Many people below the stage began to discuss in low voices. Zhao Tiewei continued," Dongchuan Province's green work is not going well. It's the worst in the country. It's definitely not that the wooden buckets are all low, nor is it that the entire iron chain is problematic. It's just a grain of rat shit. We need to change a plank, reattach the iron chain, and throw away the rat droppings. In short, do you understand what I'm saying?”
The audience applauded enthusiastically for two to three minutes. For many days, the officers of the forest branch couldn't raise their heads. This wasn't everyone's fault. It was just a matter of one or two boards.
Zhao Tiewei used his hand to suppress everyone's applause and continued,"Since the problem has been found, then let's solve the problem now. Our province's green work is so bad. We held the first provincial green work conference to solve this problem. This is the biggest problem in our province's forest industry. It has to be solved as soon as possible. Some of them attended the wedding, some went fishing at dawn, some had a headache after drinking too much, and one of them forgot. It was obvious how important they were.”
At this point, Zhao Tiewei stopped. He pushed open the microphone and said something to the deputy directors on both sides. Two pieces of white paper were quickly passed down to both sides, and the deputy directors signed on them.
The paper returned to Zhao Tiewei's hands. He looked at it and pulled the microphone over."Of the four comrades who were called out just now, one is the director, two are deputy directors, and one is a section-level cadre. Just now, the provincial department team met and came up with a solution. The two deputy directors of the provincial department, one forgot, and the other went fishing. Normally, it's not a serious problem, but now that our province ranks last in the country in terms of greenery, our province's general mobilization is ready to make a comeback, and we have repeatedly stressed that we must participate in the meeting. These comrades were so careless that they did not attract attention. The provincial government felt that the two comrades from the provincial government were no longer suitable to work in the leadership positions at the division level. They were demoted to section-level cadres and transferred out of the original department. The director of the Chaoyang City Bureau of Forests believed that the wedding was more important than the greenery. The director of the county bureau of forests had a headache after drinking too much. One of them could attend all kinds of activities in peace in the future, while the other took care of her body at home. She could not have any problems with her head. This was a big deal. The provincial party committee of the Ministry of Agriculture would formally submit a written proposal, one to the local party committee and the other to the provincial party committee organization department. They would seriously recommend that the local party committee send someone with a stronger sense of responsibility to take up the post of director. The provincial party committee believed that these people could not shoulder the heavy responsibility of turning the green work around! I'm done talking!"
There was silence for more than ten seconds. Suddenly, thunderous applause erupted from the audience.
A new official would start with three fires and sacrifice the flag before the battle. In ancient times, before a war, one had to kill cattle and sheep and use their heads to worship the flag. This practice was no longer popular in the current era, but many officials would use the official hats of several officials to worship the flag after they took office or before the war. This was reasonable. This was to tell more people that a war was imminent and that it was not a joke! Such a situation had happened in the past, now, and definitely in the future! If Zhao Tiewei didn't take off the official hat on the head of such a blind cadre, Zhang Tiewei and Li Tiewei would definitely do the same.
The entire process of the meeting was filmed by the provincial party committee's propaganda department. It was edited into a 15-minute short film and sent to the big boss to watch. It was said that the boss laughed twice and laughed three times. It became an album of skits. It was reported that the big boss recommended it to several other provincial leaders.
In the afternoon, Zhao Tiewei's secretary received more than ten phone calls seriously. They were all pleading for Tang Xiaodong, the director of Chaoyang City's Forest Bureau. His father-in-law was the deputy head of the provincial committee of the Chinese People's Political Conference. He had been demoted from the position of deputy governor to second-tier. He was the number one deputy head of the Chinese People's Political Conference. He had many connections and had some connections. There was only one call that Zhao Tiewei personally picked up. It was from the old leader, the secretary of Sanhe City, Zheng Da. The other calls were blocked by all kinds of serious reasons.
Zheng Da told Zhao Tiewei on the phone that Tang Xiaodong's father-in-law had asked Zheng Da to make a phone call to plead for him. He had to do it on account of the old leader. When he heard Zhao Tiewei say that the decision to deal with the matter was announced at the provincial green work conference, Zheng Da joked,"Alright! A pot of uncooked rice has become cooked rice, and a big girl has become pregnant. I'll just report it to the old leader truthfully. You don't have to regret it. The sky won't fall. If the provincial office gets tired of it, just come back and be a chief.”
The phone calls were endless. Zhao Tiewei simply pulled out the battery of his phone and was no longer in the service area. After the group discussion in the afternoon, he hid in a small building in the county finance bureau that the county head Feng Yong had prepared for him. He settled down in a quiet place and handled everything with seriousness.
He asked the waiter to send a few dishes over. Then, he opened a bottle of Dongchuan White Wine and poured himself a drink. He always felt uncomfortable.
Seven years ago, when he first became the acting head of the township, the situation was very similar to the current situation. Because of the green, Peng Zhensheng, the third in charge of the county, was removed from his position as the head of the agricultural machinery station. He offended the deputy secretary of the county party committee, Peng Zhensheng, just because he did not dig the tree pit during working hours. At that time, he was young and vigorous, and he was a little worried afterwards. Fortunately, there was no danger and nothing serious. After becoming the acting head of the county, Peng Zhensheng relied on his connections as a local cadre to form cliques, so that he could not start his normal work. Peng Zhensheng also went to the place he should go under his own operation. At that time, it was true that newborn calves were not afraid of tigers. Now that he had a high position in the province, he had become afraid of wolves. When he was working in the village, the quality of the village officials was low. When they were anxious, they would scold and raise their hands to hit. They used their hands more than their brains. Now that he was in the province, everyone hid a knife behind their smiles and turned into a political struggle. Today, when dealing with Tang Xiaodong, not a single one of the deputy department officials reminded him who Tang Xiaodong's father-in-law was. Could it be that they didn't know? However, Tang Xiaodong was the director of the Ministry of Agriculture. How was this possible?
