Chapter 724: A Decisive Blow

is private" 。You cannot use private property to apply for a loan, there is no such practice! Currently, the municipal Discipline Inspection Commission and Municipal Public Security Bureau have sent p...At this point, County Head Jin Quan Sheng pursed his lips and said: "Secretary Xiao, there's a difficult problem here, or perhaps a concern, that I think we should bring up for everyone to discuss together. " 。"Xiao Zheng turned to Jin Quan Sheng and said, "County Magistrate Jin, you can speak freely. Today, we are here to properly resolve this issue." 。"The first point is that this time, because Secretary Xiao fought for 200 million yuan in funding from the provincial government, our county finally has money. However, this money is to be used for repairing revolutionary sites, developing red tourism, strengthening infrastructure construction, and improving people's livelihoods." 。If we used 130 million to pay salaries and subsidies to teaching staff, all the things we were supposed to do would have to be put on hold. 。Director Jiao, let's do the math. 。“Bureau Chief Jiao, I’m referring to County Finance Bureau Chief Jiao Xirong. He looks to be in his fifties, plump and with thinning hair. Right now, his expression is like he wants to eat me alive. Jiao Xirong spoke: 'Secretary Xiao, County Magistrate Jin, leaders everyone, of the two hundred million yuan we secured from the province, over 40 million has already been allocated to the various townships. This funding is primarily used for repairing red historical sites, reinforcing dilapidated houses and cave dwellings for those in need, and building rural roads. There hasn't been any allocation for road construction yet.' ” 。If the outstanding amount owed to teaching staff this time, which is over 130 million yuan, were all paid out, the total would be nearly 180 million yuan. 。There are still over 20 million left, but the county's wages, benefits, and expenses can only last for a year. We will have to tighten our belts. 。"In this situation, as the Finance Director, I have an obligation to report clearly!"

There are only over 20 million left! Leaders looked at each other, each with a puzzled expression. Everyone knew very well that they had finally managed to get 200 million, thinking it would make things better for the county for a few years. Unexpectedly, it triggered organized * and fasting by teaching staff, the money barely warmed up before having to be paid out. 。Who would be willing to do that

Even County Head Jin Quan Sheng wouldn't, so he's been hesitant to make a decision about paying the teachers their back wages. 。Jin Quan Sheng Dao: "Xiao Secretary, there is a second question, that is the unpaid wages of teaching staff. This is not a problem for our county alone, but a problem throughout the city." 。If we paid back all the outstanding salaries and subsidies to teaching staff, wouldn't other counties have opinions about us since they don't have the money What if the city leaders get upset with us I'm afraid of being the one who gets shot. 。This concern is not unfounded. This society often worries more about inequality than poverty. What if only Baoyuan County in the entire city clears its teaching staff's salaries What about the other counties If teachers in other counties can't get their problems solved locally, will they go to the city government Then, will the city blame Baoyuan The most common argument now is that the whole city should be treated as one unit. 。Since it's a game of chess, everyone should be on equal footing. 。Jīn Quán shēng dào: “This is the two things I am worried about.” 。"At this moment, Deng Guangde, the director of the county people's congress, spoke: “Secretary Xiao, these two hundred million yuan in funding were hard-earned by you from the provincial government. Moreover, Secretary Xiao also promised the provincial Party secretary that there will be results visible within a year in terms of red tourism and poverty alleviation, and within a year and a half, it will allow leaders from Hua Jing to come for an inspection.” 。Once 130 million yuan was given to the teaching staff, things couldn't be done. This poverty alleviation thing 'a clever woman can't make a meal out of nothing', we feel this deeply!

Deng Guangde's words were indeed also considering Xiao Zheng. 。Organization Minister Hong Wenming said, “But if we don't issue it, so many teaching staff from tonight * to tomorrow morning, if it continues tomorrow, there will definitely be problems.” 。"

The deputy county magistrate in charge of social development, Wei Mingkang, said: “If we don't do it this way, I have another plan. That is to report to the municipal Party Committee and government, dispatch riot police from the police force to disperse the crowd, and administratively speaking,* , fasting behaviors are serious, and we will make it clear to them that anyone who continues to participate in * , fasting, will be transferred into a private institution, and then dismissed from the private institution.” 。This will surely have a deterrent effect. Let's see who dares to continue! Wei Mingkang's words were powerful and resolute, demonstrating great determination. 。Xiao Zheng also looked at Wei Mingkang, the deputy county magistrate. This official, in charge of a specific area, not only did not want to solve the problem but wanted to escalate the conflict!

Before Xiao Zheng could speak, Na Junying, secretary of the county Discipline Inspection Commission, couldn't help but say: "County Magistrate Wei, whose side are you on As leaders, should we solve problems or escalate conflicts There are thousands of education employees on this square. Some have dedicated their lives to the education cause in our impoverished mountainous region and are now retired; some have served for decades, and some have worked hard to get into the teaching system. You say one word, and you want to deprive them of their positions It is only natural for them to work and earn their wages>>> 。The county owes them for so many years. It's their debt. 。"They are protecting their own legitimate rights. What's wrong with that Now, those who owe debts want to retaliate against the creditors. Isn't that unjust" Na Junying firmly refuted this statement. 。Technically, Na Junying is a standing committee member, while Wei Mingkang is only the deputy county head. In terms of ranking, Na Junying should be higher. 。But, facing Na Junying's objection and questioning, Wei Mingkang didn't shrink back. Instead, he raised his head and said: "Secretary Na, I understand what you said about 'standing on whose side,' these are all big principles..." 。What I'm saying is a very realistic problem. It involves whether our county's two main leaders will be criticized by the city and resented by neighboring counties or districts. 。。At that banquet, the former county party secretary and current head of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Liebin, was also present. The key point is that Bao Tangwen, the organization minister of Xiheitou, was also there. 。That day's wine was very worthwhile to drink. 。So, now Wei Mingkang looked at Na Junying, who was full of righteous indignation, and felt very amused in his heart. Your relationship, Na Junying, is only up to the level of County Party Secretary Xiao Zheng, a temporary position. As for me, Minister Bao Tangwen almost agreed with my promotion. Once Sun Xu Zhi goes up, I will be your deputy secretary! At that time, I will be your superior!

By this point in the meeting, two voices emerged. On one hand, there was a view that we should put people first and promptly resolve the outstanding salary issues for teaching staff. On the other hand, some argued that since no solution had been found throughout the entire city, Baoyuan shouldn't be the first to try and tackle it. 。There were disagreements, so Xiao Zheng needed to set the direction and make decisions. This was done through "democratic centralism." During the democratic phase, everyone could speak freely, but during the centralized phase, a clear direction had to be established and decisions made decisively!

Xiao Zheng took a sip of water, then placed his hand on the conference table and said in a loud voice, "Everyone has discussed thoroughly. Time is tight, so we will not continue the discussion." 。The opinions everyone expressed just now all make sense. They come from different perspectives and are suggestions made out of a sense of responsibility. 。"Guided by everyone's opinions, regarding the handling of today's hunger strike by thousands of teachers and staff, I think we need to adhere to three principles..."

Seeing that the county party secretary had set the tone, everyone began to record in their notebooks. 。Xiao Zheng continued, "The first principle is the principle of empathy and perspective-taking." 。Over the years, so many teachers' salaries have been delayed. They are educators, but they are also parents and children of others, all trying to make a living…" As Xiao Zheng said this, images flashed in his mind: a gaunt, 50-year-old male teacher on the small square, a young teacher with her child sleeping on her lap, a young female teacher pushing a wheelchair with her stroke-ridden father, etc. "We say 'poverty cannot be inflicted upon education'; education is a national priority, a top priority for the party! If education in a place develops, there is hope for its future.” 。We cannot always make faculty and staff worry about where their next meal is coming from. 。The second principle is to be fearless in the face of difficulties and to persevere with all our might. 。This 200 million yuan funding, was indeed hard-earned poverty alleviation funds from the provincial government. It was originally intended for the restoration of revolutionary sites, infrastructure construction, and improvement of people's livelihood. However, the outstanding teacher salaries and subsidies are also urgent issues that need to be addressed regarding people's livelihood. 。Then we'll solve this problem first! We'll figure out the rest of the money for development later. 。This year's money has been distributed, next year where will the teachers' salaries and subsidies come from, we'll find a way again. 。As long as we are not afraid of difficulties and try our best, there are always more solutions than problems!

The third principle is to be a pioneer and not afraid of what others say. 。Just now everyone was worried about our two main leaders. They were concerned that if our county pays the salaries and subsidies owed to teachers first, other counties without funds would be envious of us! I think we shouldn't have these worries at all. 。Can a person refrain from pursuing their own development out of fear of being envied by others Can a family choose not to strive for wealth out of concern that others might envy their success As long as something is fair, just, and what the people hope for, we can do it first. 。Other districts should not focus on envy, but rather on finding ways to solve the unpaid wages issue! As for your concerns that the city might be unhappy with us, I can assure you that everything is fine. 。Secretary Chen just made it clear on the phone, as long as we can handle today's issue properly, Secretary Chen will definitely give us his full support!

So, to sum up, in a nutshell: the outstanding wages and subsidies for teaching staff must be paid, and they must be paid immediately. 。"County Magistrate Jin, what do you think"

After a period of getting to know each other, Jin Quansheng and Xiao Zheng's interactions were quite harmonious. His previous concerns mainly stemmed from the normal considerations a leader has regarding the pros and cons. Now that Xiao Zheng had set the tone and direction, he had no objections. 。"The problems in Baoyuan County are a whole stack, we can only solve them one by one! He said: 'Secretary Xiao, you have a high standing and a broad vision, unlike us who initially only saw ourselves, the present, and even feared wolves on the left and tigers on the right, hesitating indecisively.'" 。Now that Secretary Xiao has set the principles and direction, I fully agree and will urge the finance, education, and township departments to implement them vigorously and pay teachers' salaries and subsidies as soon as possible. 。Let's do it tomorrow, before work ends, I'll be there for sure. 。Both main leaders have a unified opinion, and others who want to cause trouble can't make any waves!

Xiao Zheng then said: "Good, let's go see the over a thousand teaching staff below!"or He represents the Provincial Department, then please have relevant leaders from the Provincial Department issue an instruction. We can immediately take action. 。If it represents an individual, we w...
