Chapter 78 Work Arrangement

  Xu Shaojie did not immediately convene a district committee meeting and an office meeting. What he thought was one thing, but what he did was another matter. Zhang Shaocai and Xu Yunfei's words made him understand many things. His identity had changed, and his perspective also needed to change. Previously, the main focus was on how to deal with Liu Zhihua. Now, the most important issue was how to revitalize the leadership of the district committee and government. The main leaders could not do whatever they wanted. Liu Zhihua's case was a lesson. Although Xu Shaojie would not follow in Liu Zhihua's footsteps, he still needed to figure out how to excel in his work and make most farmers in Yudu District rich as soon as possible. Xu Shaojie did not dare to fully trust the current members of his team, but he had to rely on them to do a good job. In this dilemma, Xu Shaojie had to find a breakthrough in the shortest time possible.

  "Director Zhang, I've been considering the recent work and places suitable for planting tobacco are all carrying out large-scale transplanting of tobacco seedlings. As for normal grain planting, we don't need to spend too much effort. I plan to visit all township governments in the district soon and understand the situation in the villages. What do you think about this arrangement?"

  "Secretary Xu, I completely agree."

  "Well, Director Zhang will see if there is a need for personnel adjustments in the near future. As the deputy secretary of the district committee in charge of organizational work, the municipal committee has not considered it yet, so we can only work harder."

  "I have indeed considered this, and I had already prepared to report to Secretary Xu. Comrade Zhao Deli's transfer to the Qinghua Township government is not quite suitable. Comrade Zhao Deli is very capable, and he has done a great job in Yulin Township. The mistake last time was not entirely his fault, as there were leaders from the Municipal Tobacco Company involved, and we shouldn't air our dirty laundry in public. So I think it's better to let Comrade Zhao Deli return to work at the Yulin Township government. The position of Party Secretary of Yulin Township has been vacant for a long time, and Comrade Zhao Deli's return would be just in time to take charge of the work."

  "Uh-huh, I agree with your opinion, you can just bring it up directly when we have the secretary's office meeting this afternoon."

  After Zhang Shi Kui left the office, Xu Shao Jie smiled. Xu Shao Jie gave Zhang Shi Kui an opportunity, and Zhang Shi Kui indeed seized it quickly and took office himself. Everyone in the district knew that Zhao De Li's work would definitely be adjusted. Zhang Shi Kui proposed it at the fastest speed, which was a kind of attitude. Liu Zhi Hua had completely fallen down, and Zhang Shi Kui didn't have any background on top, so such a district head couldn't stir up big waves. It was precisely in this environment that Zhang Shi Kui made a good choice.

  Xu Shaojie thought of a few more, two station directors who must be adjusted. One is the director of the Tobacco Station, and the other is the temporary person in charge of the Education Station. Xu Shaojie is not a petty person, but Huang, the director of the Tobacco Station, has been too arrogant, so it is necessary to ask the Municipal Tobacco Company to make adjustments. As for the person in charge of the Education Station, he used to be in charge of the Education Station himself, and the person in charge never reported or asked for instructions on work, thinking that since he had climbed up to become the district party secretary, he could do whatever he wanted without considering anything else. This kind of person lacks even basic quality, and must also have a "I am the number one" attitude in the unit.

  The secretary's office meeting and team meeting held in the afternoon passed the appointment and removal of Zhao Deli, passed the decision on the deputy director of the Education Station to preside over the work, all team members reported on the situation of their work in the previous period. Xu Shaojie briefly mentioned at the meeting that currently, first, the division of labor among team members will be temporarily maintained as it is; second, continue to carry out work according to the work arrangement at the beginning of the year; third, he will work together with all cadres and staff to do a good job in various tasks in Yudou District.

  After the meeting, Xu Shaojie slowly walked towards his office.

  The first person to enter the office was someone Xu Shaojie never expected. The head of the Women's Federation had been waiting outside the office, her face pale and her hair disheveled, her eyes lifeless, and her clothes wrinkled. If she hadn't been standing by the door, Xu Shaojie would have thought she was a beggar woman from somewhere else. She opened the office door and entered without saying a word, the whole process very mechanical, Xu Shaojie couldn't feel any vitality, and the atmosphere in the office was somewhat oppressive.

  Strictly speaking, when such a thing happens, the woman's fate is even more miserable than that of the man. Everyone will keep talking about it, with all sorts of vicious gossip and insults pouring in, making it unbearable for her to live on, to the point where some may even hang themselves. In today's society, a woman who has an affair is an object of deep hatred and disgust for most people.

  Looking at the expression of the Women's Federation director, Xu Shaojie had a hint of ominous foreboding and a thread of guilt in his heart. The Women's Federation director was a scapegoat, and having such a relationship with Liu Zhihua would inevitably lead to this outcome.

  "Sit down, is there something?"

  "Secretary Xu, I request a job transfer."

  "Tell me, where do you want to adjust to go work?"

  "My home is in Qinglin Village, I want to go home, I want to go home..."

  Xu Shaojie felt something was wrong and immediately spoke up.

  "Don't worry about work arrangements for now, go home and rest for a while. Pay attention to adjusting your mood. What happened isn't the end of the world, it will pass. Once you've recovered physically, we can discuss work matters again."

  The head of the Women's Federation did not sit, standing all the time, listening to Xu Shaojie's words, without making a statement, turned around and quietly walked out of the office. Xu Shaojie felt a bit uncomfortable, found Huang He, asked Huang He to closely pay attention to the head of the Women's Federation's every move, at the same time find a few people, to persuade them, not to take the wrong path because of what happened.

  Xu Shaojie thought at this moment, it's not about going down to the countryside to see the situation, the situation in Yudu District is always like that, 10,000 people, 10,000 households, 51 administrative villages. Even if he goes down to take a look, there won't be any improvement. Xu Shaojie never believed that leaders going down to inspect would make lower-level cadres full of energy and enthusiasm, and all contradictions and problems could be solved, and the people would be grateful and tearful. That's just nonsense. Leaders are not experts, without real methods and financial support, it's hard for the situation at the grassroots level to have a substantial solution.

  Xu Shaojie wanted to go down and find a place, what he thought of was the vegetable greenhouse. Xu Shaojie initially thought of a place in Huaguan Village. The current basic conditions of Huaguan Village are not bad. Liu Mu has been serving as the village secretary and has been equipped with a new village head. Liu Mu is indeed capable. The villagers of Huaguan Village are in harmony, and there are few disputes.

  "Secretary Xu, you've arrived, are you still stationed in our Yulin Township?"

  "Haha, Old Zhao, you're back in office again! This time I'm not just dropping by to take a look, I've come to give you all a task."

  Zhao Deli, Dong Guihua, Liu Mu and Song Tao had been waiting at the entrance of the township government for a long time. Everyone's smile on their face was very comforting. They couldn't have imagined that Xu Shaojie would turn the situation around so quickly, taking office as the secretary of the district committee. Hualin Township has now become the focus of attention in the whole district. Many people speculate that Xu Shaojie's confidants will definitely be promoted.

  "I came to arrange work, there's nothing worth celebrating. Yudu District is too poor, I understand the financial income situation, apart from tobacco tax and agricultural tax, three proposals five unified revenue, the rest are basically blank, this can't go on, must think of ways to change the current situation."

  "Secretary Xu, what are your thoughts? Please speak out. What tasks do you have? Please assign them. We will definitely complete the work tasks without any discount."

  "Hehe, I really have some ideas, mainly in two aspects. You are all my most trusted cadres now. These two things, I plan to let you handle them."

  Zhao Deli and others have become serious, because Xu Shaojie was very serious when he spoke. They knew that Xu Shaojie must have thought it over carefully before assigning them tasks, and the task must be extraordinary. Everyone considered themselves to be Xu Shaojie's trusted aides, and using his trusted aides for a task must be a big deal.

  "Lao Zhao, you need to prepare to leave the township government and start a business. Song Tao will follow you. The work in Yulin Township will be taken care of by Director Dong. There are big things to do in Yulin Township too. I plan to build 10 vegetable greenhouses in Huaguan Village. The specific work will be handled by Director Dong and Liu Mu. From now on, you two will be the township party secretary and mayor. The two things I mentioned must succeed, no failure is allowed, so you need to prepare for hardship."

  Everyone's eyes widened, what Xu Shaojie said was too strange, they had never heard of it before.

  "A small cement plant not far from the town, you know."

  "Director Xu, that cement factory has been abandoned for a long time and is already deserted."

  "We're going to set up a cement factory, and the development situation will change soon. You are all grassroots cadres, you know what farmers want, once they have money, the first thing they do is build houses. Now, more and more people are going out to work, and constantly sending money back home, it won't take long before many rural households think about building houses. At the same time, we also have a geographical advantage here, the five districts in the south can all use our cement production. Therefore, setting up a cement factory is definitely a matter of quickly increasing income. Old Zhao, you and Song Tao start investigating abandoned cement factories from now on, mainly to investigate the surrounding raw material situation. I give you one week's time, after one week, I want to see the report, including the scale of the cement factory, how much funds are needed, what is the annual production capacity? This thing has some difficulty, so I arrange for you to do it. You can go to the city cement factory to understand the situation. Song Tao, go to the finance department to borrow some money, necessary reception is still needed."

  Zhao Deli never dreamed that after nearly half a lifetime of rural work, he would suddenly start a business. Although the trend of starting businesses is currently strong, this time it involves the financial income of Yudu District, and Zhao Deli, who has never been afraid of things, hesitated, mainly because he had no experience.

  "Lao Zhao, what's wrong? Are you afraid now that there are so many peasant entrepreneurs who can run their businesses well? Can't you do it too? Don't worry, be bold and go for it."

  Zhao Deli nodded vigorously and no longer hesitated.

  "Secretary Xu, what is a vegetable greenhouse? We have never heard of it before."

  "I looked at some information the day before yesterday, and it turns out that vegetable greenhouses have existed for many years. The north was the first to develop them because of climate issues. In the north, the growing season for vegetables is short, so in order to keep warm, vegetable greenhouses emerged. The biggest role of vegetable greenhouses is to keep warm, allowing fresh vegetables to be put on the market ahead of time, and also making it possible to have out-of-season vegetables."

  Everyone's eyes widened immediately, what a concept, when the vegetables are not yet mature and on the market, the vegetables in the greenhouse are already on the market, can't they be sold at a good price?

  "Secretary Xu, is he really that awesome?"

  "I'm not very clear either, but someone has already done it, so let's get started. Director Dong and Liu Mu, your main task is to find a suitable place in Huaguan Village. First, we will build 10 vegetable greenhouses to see how they work out. These 10 vegetable greenhouses do not require any investment from farmers, I'll think of a way."

  After the task was assigned, everyone went to eat. This is the first time Xu Shaojie has arranged for a meal at a restaurant in Yulin Township since he came to Yudou District. Zhao Deli insisted on doing so. According to Xu Shaojie's arrangement, Zhao Deli would leave Hualin Township immediately. Dong Guihua also insisted, firstly to congratulate Xu Shaojie and secondly to bid farewell to Zhao Deli. Therefore, Xu Shaojie did not refuse, he also wanted to take the opportunity to encourage everyone during dinner.

  Xu Shaojie will not promote everyone quickly, promotion requires a reason, otherwise the foundation is unstable. Zhao Deli, Dong Guihua, Liu Mu and Song Tao should be promoted, if they can achieve results, the reason is even more sufficient. Now, Xu Shaojie has found an opportunity, as long as everyone works hard, they will soon be able to produce results, at that time, the district government's cadres will have nothing to say.

  Zhao Deli was impatient, and after dinner, he directly took Song Tao to the abandoned small cement factory. Xu Shaojie and Dong Guihua, Liu Mu went straight to Huaguan Village to survey the terrain and find a suitable place. At this moment, Xu Shaojie rushed to Huaiyang City to report to Xu Yunfei in person, not thinking that the municipal party committee and government would support, mostly relying on the district party committee and district public office to handle it themselves.

  The location of the vegetable greenhouse was quickly settled, and next, it was necessary to find technical personnel for special guidance. Such things cannot be taken for granted. When Xu Shaojie returned to the Huaiyang Municipal Party Committee office again, Liao Hongyun smiled and introduced two people to him, who didn't need to go to Taiyuan at all. The two people in front of him were experts from the Provincial Agricultural Science Institute, who had been studying greenhouses for many years and were familiar with everything. Xu Shaojie was overjoyed and didn't know what to do.

  Accompanied by the expert to Yudu District, Xu Shaojie asked Huang He to arrange the best accommodation. He immediately presided over a team meeting and reported his idea of developing vegetable greenhouses. First, he would do a good job in the pilot project, contacting private investors himself to establish 10 vegetable greenhouses in Huaguan Village, Yulin Township. If it was effective, it would be promoted throughout the district in the second half of the year. At this time, many team members did not know what a vegetable greenhouse was. Xu Shaojie's speech was not long, and the expert from the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences gave a lecture at the team meeting, briefly introducing the function, effect, and required investment of vegetable greenhouses.
