Chapter 67 I am optimistic about you
Long Youqing was in a very happy mood. For him, there was no risk in choosing Zhang Shaoyu instead of the Public Security Bureau Chief who seemed to be more powerful.
If the director was promoted, the remaining position would definitely belong to Zhang Shaoyu; the problem was that the director was 58 years old, which was already retirement age, so when Long Youqing joined the task force, he did not hesitate to join Zhang Shaoyu's camp.
And they also tried their best, continuously tracking and scouting, slowly screening, and finally locking onto the target and participating in the arrest. If they were not careful during this period, they would most likely die heroically.
Yu Xiao and Long Youqing have the same idea. It's not a question of who influences who, they just have similar tastes.
After Zhang Shaoyu talked to the two men separately, Long Youqing was quite excited. You know, the county public security bureau chief is half a level higher than the bureau chief of the same level. According to the decision of the central government's government-enterprise reform, Nanzhao Province is divided into two levels according to districts and counties.
One is a high-level deputy-department-level district or county, and the other is normal.
In districts and counties with a population of over one million, the top two leaders are promoted to deputy department heads; in a normal county-level administrative area, there are three deputy secretaries and four deputy county governors, among whom the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission no longer serves as the police chief. Among the four deputy county governors, the police chief will serve as the fourth deputy county governor.
This is a reduction in deputy posts in administrative reform.
Therefore, Long Youqing went to Sanmei to serve as the Public Security Bureau Chief and will also serve as the deputy county magistrate.
In other words, the administrative level reaches deputy director.
Yu Xiao serves as the executive deputy director of the Public Security Bureau and deputy secretary of the Party Committee, in charge of criminal investigation, political work, office, propaganda, and rule of law.
Zhang Shaoyu has already left. Long Youqing and Yu Xiao are waiting at the door of Hu Jiao's office. Several , and meeting with the county party secretary is the last hurdle.
Long Youqing knew that from now on, whether he could make rapid progress in his official career would depend on his next work. If he could gain Hu Jiao's recognition, then in Nanzhao, as long as he did not make any major mistakes, he would have no problem making steady progress.
The office door opened, and Hu Jiao and Yang Jinbu, the executive vice chairman of the National People's Congress, appeared in front of them. Long Youqing and the other man hurriedly stood up to greet them.
Hu Jiao walked over, pointed at Long Youqing, and introduced him to Yang Jinbu, "Old Yang, this is the new Public Security Bureau Chief Long Youqing, this is the Executive Deputy Director Yu Xiao, and this is the Executive Deputy Director of the County People's Congress Yang Jinbu."
Long Youqing and Yu Xiao were very respectful. Yang Jinbu was 52 years old, from the Miao ethnic group, with gray hair, but a loud laugh. It was obvious that he was a very generous person. He shook hands with the two men and said, "I just learned about your heroic deeds from the secretary. Welcome to Sanmei! I hope you can contribute to Sanmei's reform cause and make new contributions!"
After Lao Yang left, Hu Jiao turned around and took the two of them into the office.
After graduating from high school and entering police academies, Long Youqing and Yu Xiao maintained the living habits of the disciplined forces for a long time. They sat in front of the secretary, with their chests and heads held high, looking straight ahead, holding up their police hats with one hand and placing the other hand on their knees.
Hu Jiao passed cigarettes to the two men, waved his hand and said, "Relax, put your hat on the table, don't be nervous."
Although Hu Jiao spoke easily, the two of them were still a little restrained, their smiles were a little stiff, and they couldn't make their movements natural.
Hu Jiao didn't take it to heart. He had long passed the childish stage of judging people by their appearance. To be let go by Zhang Shaoyu to take charge of the public security of a county, he must first have the ability, professional qualities and be quite familiar with the internal operating procedures of the public security.
The second is management ability, especially for a disciplined force like the public security. Without means and abilities, it is not feasible to rely on words alone. If the management ability and means are not outstanding, then don't even think about doing the job well.
"Secretary Zhang has high expectations for you. The situation in Sanmei is a bit complicated. We have just experienced a major corruption case, a vicious case of collusion between officials and businessmen to illegally dig and abuse mineral resources. The cadres of the whole county are in a panic. You are insiders and should understand that if we crack down on it according to the law, there will probably be only a few township government teams left in the entire Sanmei County. So, now there is stability and unity on the surface, but what about secretly? I'm afraid it's not an exaggeration to say that there are swords and swords! Before you take office, you must be fully prepared mentally and have a full understanding of the crisis! Of course, the so-called crisis is an opportunity in danger. You have experienced this before."
Yu Xiao looked at Long Youqing. There was a good understanding between the two. Long Youqing cleared his throat. The tension just now caused his throat to be a little tight and his voice was a little hoarse. "Secretary Hu, although time is short, Secretary Zhang has repeatedly told me that when I arrive in Sanmei, I will follow your command in all actions, especially you. I must obey your leadership! This is also what Yu Xiao and I think. We believe that under your leadership, Sanmei County will be able to develop rapidly, get rid of difficulties, and achieve a well-off society ahead of schedule."
Hu Jiao smiled and said, "Let's have some tea. We are all family. Although I am speaking to you on behalf of the county party committee leadership, there is no need to flatter you. Let me tell you a little bit about my personal request."
Long Youqing and Yu Xiao both straightened their backs at the same time, "Please give us your instructions, Secretary Hu!"
"Sanmei has a special terrain, with mountains and plains combined, and the traffic is the other way around. There are highways in the mountainous areas, but the plains have been slow to open up. These are all factors of the previous leadership team, and we can only take responsibility.
According to Sanmei's situation, I have two requirements. First, we need to clean up the public security team as soon as possible and quickly form combat effectiveness. We need to be able to pull them out and do a good job. Second, we need to start cleaning up along the highways, mainly in the mountainous areas, and eliminate the dens of prostitution, gambling, and drugs. I think there are still some evil forces hidden behind the corruption case. This is just my personal feeling. These situations need to be implemented by the two of you. "
Yu Xiao pursed his lips, a little puzzled. "Secretary Hu, according to the central government's classification, those who are protected by government officials are called the underworld. And this kind of case is usually solved from the low level to the high level, from the outside to the inside. The corruption case in Sanmei County has brought down a large number of cadres. It is possible that evil forces exist... I personally think that it is not as bad as imagined, right?"
Hu Jiao shook his head, his face becoming more serious. "County Magistrate Shi and I have visited various towns and villages twice. Although we cannot see it, we can feel it. People living in the county town are relatively normal, and the public security is usually a little worse. The towns and villages are not normal. Although many people don't want us to see it, the eyes and expressions of those ordinary people are definitely not normal! Let me put it this way, when I went to the homes of my fellow villagers, they were laughing, and everything they said was memorized in advance. The way they looked at me... was full of hostility and fear!
You may ask, why don't I expose those lies? You can't do that. If you do that, it will make things worse for them. That's why I keep emphasizing that you must be mentally prepared to fight hard and tough battles. "
Long Youqing then started to become cautious. No wonder he had to ask the Municipal Bureau for help and ask Secretary Zhang directly for people. He didn't think that the county party secretary deliberately took the time to joke with them, or just made some trouble on a whim to prove his own sophistication.
"Secretary Hu, please rest assured! I promise you that within three months, the police will become a team that truly serves the people, and within a year, the people of Sanmei will have a stable and prosperous living environment."
Hu Jiao shook his head. This was the third time he shook his head. Long Youqing felt a little depressed.
Hu Jiao shook off the ash. "No. Not in terms of time. It seems that you have not yet developed a sense of crisis. Do you think I am exaggerating? Comrade! To clean up the internal situation and clean up the social atmosphere, I can only give you half a year at most. Don't be hesitant about your actions in Sanmei. The county party committee leadership team and I will be your strong backing! Don't be afraid of making mistakes. There is an old saying that in troubled times, heavy punishments are used, and extraordinary measures are taken in extraordinary times. We must act with swift and resolute force, like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves! Do you understand?"
Having said that, if Long Youqing still doesn’t understand, then his appointment at the National People’s Congress this afternoon may be rejected.
The two men stood up straight, and Long Youqing raised his voice, "Resolutely follow the order and ensure the completion of the task! We will never let Secretary Hu and the county party committee leaders down!"
Hu Jiao was very pleased. He waved his hand and asked the two to sit down. He handed over several personnel files and said, "You two, these are several police station chiefs that the Organization Department has investigated. Take a professional look at them and see if there are any talents that can be used among them."
Yu Xiao had put aside his previous suspicions, and his face looked particularly solemn. "Secretary Hu, if we want to increase the intensity of the crackdown and speed up the rectification, can we ask the Municipal Bureau for help? Can we secretly transfer a group of police officers from outside to Sanmei?"
Hu Jiao raised his head, his two black eyebrows knitted together, thinking seriously, "When necessary, you can report to Secretary Zhang and seek support. After all, the situation is not accurate yet, you will do the specific work! I can only guarantee to provide you with help to the best of my ability!"
Long Youqing nodded vigorously, "With Secretary Hu's words, we can immediately let go and do something big."
Hu Jiao extended his hand and shook hands with them, which meant the conversation was over. He personally escorted the two out, walked out the door, and shook Long Youqing's hand again, "Director Long, I'm optimistic about you!"
After leaving the secretary's office and returning to the car, Long Youqing felt a little heavy-hearted. Yu Xiao sighed softly, "Youqing, this is another tough battle for us! I thought Secretary Zhang had found a springboard with good ..."
Looking at Yu Xiao's bitter smile, Long Youqing gritted his teeth and kept his cheeks from twitching. "Secretary Hu said it well, a crisis is an opportunity amidst danger. Don't forget who are behind Secretary Hu! We are the vanguard."
Long Youqing chuckled and continued, "But the firepower behind us is very strong! It is very likely that by the time you and I engage in hand-to-hand combat, the enemy will have already been covered in corpses."
Yu Xiao also slapped his thigh, "Damn! I chose this business because I loved the risk. Hehe, Youqing, let's follow the old rules. We have Secretary Hu's support this time, so we don't have to distract ourselves to deal with other relationships. You take charge of the internal affairs, and I'll take charge of the external affairs. Starting tomorrow, I'll go back to the Municipal Bureau and ask a few people to come down to find out the specific situation."
Long Youqing nodded, and returned to the guesthouse with Yu Xiao, waiting for the National People's Congress appointment to be passed in the afternoon, while studying the information on several directors given by Hu Jiao.
It can be seen that Hu Jiao has no confidence in Sanmei's public security personnel at all. Now he and Yu Xiao are the first and second in command respectively. There is also a candidate for deputy director, who is the former anti-corruption director of the procuratorate, the criminal police captain, the deputy captain, the economic investigation captain, the anti-drug captain, the 110 command center, and the public security brigade. There are a total of six important middle-level management vacancies.
There are only three directors in Hu Jiaodi's personnel file, so they still have three vacancies, which are candies deliberately left for them to use.
The saying goes, give someone a slap in the face and then give them a candy.
Since we want to purge the team, it is inevitable to offend people. We can't go against everyone just for the sake of purge, right?
Yu Xiao handed one of the personnel files to Long Youqing. "Take a look at this. He graduated from the Changshun Provincial Public Security College. Look at his award-winning record. He was twice a city-wide model worker and once a provincial model worker. Wow, while in school, he participated in the National Public Security College Skills Competition and ranked eighth in the individual all-around! What a talent! There aren't many of them in the entire Nanzhao Municipal Bureau, right? The chief of the Wangshan Township Police Station... I don't know what to say."
Long Youqing curled his lips, "I've heard of this guy, he's from the same family, Long Hongwei. He's stubborn and has a good temper. He's good at solving cases, but as a person, hehe, you know more about things in the system than I do. He was named by Secretary Hu. Look at the corner of the page, there are two folds!"
Yu Xiao grabbed it and compared it with the other two. Indeed, only Long Hongwei had two folds. He gave Long Youqing a thumbs up and said, "You are the best! What else can I say? You are the captain of the criminal police."
Long Youqing shook his head and looked at Yu Xiao with a half-smile, "You are wrong again! It should be the director of the 110 Command Center and the head of the public security team."
"Why?"
Long Youqing made a face and pointed at the two discounts, "See? Why is it 20% off? Not 10% off? This is a key part-time job. Based on Long Hongwei's resume, isn't this a very upright person who doesn't know how to please others or flatter his superiors?"
Yu Xiao nodded. "Now that you put it that way, it's true. Let him go to the command center and take charge of the public security brigade. We can basically be hands-off in terms of public security in the county."
Yu Xiao understood what Long Youqing meant. They were the top two leaders. What kind of place was a county town? Most of the cadres in the county had their families in the county town. Similar to many places in the country, there were many people in the county town. Those who were ruthless and domineering were more or less related to the families of cadres, both big and small.
If anything happens to these people, they will definitely have to rely on connections to find them. If Long Hongwei comes, they probably won't be able to save face. In this way, they can avoid being caught in an awkward situation and at the same time have a deterrent effect.
The two of them were studying the affairs of the public security team, and the county people's congress was also studying their appointments.
Hu Jiao also serves as the director of the People's Congress. The meeting will be chaired by Yang Jinbu. Eleven personnel appointments will be approved this time, including the appointment and removal of two deputy division-level cadres, including Deputy County Mayor Le Xiaoshan and Long Youqing.
The sixth session of the Standing Committee of the Eighth People's Congress of Sanmei County started at three o'clock in the afternoon. This was the second meeting that Hu Jiao participated in. The first was to add him and Shi Jingyuan as representatives of the Sanmei People's Congress, members of the Standing Committee of the People's Congress, and director, as well as to appoint Shi Jingyuan as deputy county magistrate and acting county magistrate.
Why did Hu Jiao ask Long Youqing and others to achieve results quickly and severely within half a year?
Because in March next year, the Sanmei County People's Congress will hold its second plenary session to re-elect and appoint the county magistrate, deputy county magistrate and other positions.
He must prepare in advance and not let anything go wrong at the last minute.
Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty.
When the People's Congress was held, Du Hongbing, the township party committee secretary, was also in a meeting on the second floor of the Changling Township Government, which is located at the southern end of Sanmei and borders Changshun Province.
However, the members attending the meeting were not party members and cadres of Changling Township, but individual bosses who mined and burned coal in the mountains.
As early as eight years ago, Changling Township had raised funds in an area with dense mineral reserves to build a tunnel leading to Changshun Province, connecting to the Erlinshan Township Forest Farm in Changshun, and then from the forest farm to the secondary road in Changshun.
This line cannot be found on the traffic map. Only the original investor and the recently dismissed county party secretary know it.
Starting eight years ago, minerals and coal from Kaochuan Township, Wangshan Township and Changling Township were secretly transported to Changshun through this road. By forging a large number of official seals and procedures, bribing the Changshun checkpoint inspectors, evading taxes and accumulating funds, they then bribed the county's main leaders, thus forming an organized and large-scale criminal gang that stole and mined mineral resources privately.
Du Hongbing, Party Secretary of Changling Township, and Long Hongge, Party Secretary of Wangshan Township, are the main leaders of this gang.
Du Hongbing is an old man in his fifties. From his appearance, he doesn't look like a cadre at all, let alone a wealthy local boss. He is dressed in ordinary clothes and looks ordinary. If he were thrown into a group of farmers, he would look nothing special.
Long Hongge was the elder brother of Long Hongwei, who was about to be promoted to the county town to be in charge of public security. He wore a Zhongshan suit, square-toed leather shoes, and black-framed glasses. He had a narrow forehead and chin, and a bony protrusion in the middle of his face. The look behind the glasses was quite calm, giving people the feeling that this man could sit there without having to worry even if the sky fell.
Long Hongge slowly looked at the members present and spoke slowly, "Here comes County Magistrate Wu Hao, who has taken down the county government. Fortunately, the higher-ups are not determined to clean up everything. Otherwise, how many of you here can live in peace?"
Du Hongbing was holding a plain cigarette without a filter, his right eyelid twitching from the smoke. "County Magistrate Wu left, and here comes Secretary Hu. I've heard from people that this person is quite important, the son or nephew of several senior members of the provincial party committee, a direct descendant, a flesh and blood. So we called everyone here this time to talk about the things going on below. Some time ago, I told Hongge to let everyone rest. You are all making a fuss, you really don't take the country seriously, do you?"
Long Hongge sipped his tea leisurely, looked at the old-fashioned cup, and couldn't help complaining, "Brother, can you buy some better cups? You can use this to brew Longjing tea, and you have to pinch off the filter when smoking Zhonghua cigarettes and replace it with a Lanhua cigarette box. After all, you are the secretary, you can't act so shabby, right?"
The people below all laughed in a friendly and flattering manner. Long Hongge glanced at them and said, "Do you think I am making fun of Big Brother? Look at you. The gold necklace on your neck can't be broken even by a wolf dog. The gold ring on your finger is not much smaller than a ring. Look at what you are wearing. Wow, all of them are famous brands. Although Buddhas need gold ornaments and people need clothes, they also need to improve their taste and quality. Look at yourselves. The collar has become shiny black from white. Isn't it difficult to wash it? Wear one and change it?"
Dozens of people were silent, each with their heads tucked between their legs, not daring to look Long Hongge in the eye.
Du Hongbing coughed, and the atmosphere in the slightly crowded office became a little depressing.
"Hong Ge is right. You must stay sober. Secretary Hu who came this time is not an easy person to deal with. For example, last time, when he came to Changling, I arranged a visit to Sun Laoer's family. As for Sun Laoer's family, you all know that his son died in a cave last year and he was resentful. I wanted to see if he dared to cry out for injustice. Sun Laoer didn't dare to cry out and said what I said. However, Secretary Hu, such a young guy, remained calm and didn't ask any more questions. Who dares to say that he didn't see it? Who bullied him for being young and ignorant? I heard that the former County Magistrate Wu was defeated by him. He has worked in the township, so he knows everything. That's why Hong Ge and I forced you to stop him together."
After hearing Du Hongbing's words, several people looked unconvinced. Long Hongge shook his head, pointed at them and said, "You guys! Alas... Just because you have stained human blood, you think you are the people's hero? He has been here for so long, and the positions of directors of the county have been vacant, but he has not made any move. Now, at this moment, they are discussing the appointment and removal of personnel such as the director of the Public Security Bureau. Do you know where the director of the Public Security Bureau came from? Nanhu! By the way, Lao Geda, the gangs of those car robbers you adopted were taken out by this guy first."
The old man was shocked and asked stutteringly, "Is your surname Long?"
Long Hongge nodded, "Yes, he is my relative. Why don't you promote him locally? Instead, transfer someone from Nanhu to be the police chief? Let me put it bluntly. If I don't tell you, you won't understand and won't know fear. The things on the surface are over. Next, it's the actions in secret. The country has always done things this way. If you don't obey, it is estimated that within half a year, you will all be arrested one by one, and then the county TV station will simply report that a criminal gang of so-and-so has been cracked down. Not a bubble will be raised. Do you believe it?"
Du Hongbing pointed at Lao Geda and said, "Go back and sell those car robbers immediately. Sell all those who escaped from Changshun along the highway one by one. You are not allowed to act on your own. If you dare to leave any traces, I will kill your whole family!"
The sudden rage made everyone's scalp numb. Du Hongbing pointed at the third middle-aged man beside him and said, "Listen to Du Lin! Cooperate with him! I'm going to sell the mine here too. The intersections on both sides are temporarily closed. Old man, you must not be soft-hearted to those bitches, sluts, those who sell cocaine, those who steal things, and those who rob and kill people. This is the last time I remind you! Our real big business is in the mountains!"
