Since it is called "knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger", there is actually no need to collect information on a large scale. As long as it can have a deterrent effect, the purpose can be achieved.

Ma Yiben and Xiao Wuxiang were almost secretly competing to see who had a clever way of trying. Ma Yiben was strong in his huge network of contacts, while Xiao Wuxiang was better because he (she) was a local snake in Hedong. The two geniuses of Sister Mei’s underground empire attacked quickly, and in just half a month, he killed countless officials’ braids.

On November 26, all directly affiliated departments of Hedong Province received a notice at the same time and held a meeting in the second conference room of the provincial government the next afternoon. What surprised a group of department directors was that the meeting was quite weird - the theme of the meeting was not even mentioned. Moreover, the main leaders of each unit were required to be present, and if you want to ask for leave, you must directly ask Governor Li.

Li Zhengfeng has just been in office for more than half a month. Who dares to ask for leave? That is not to give face. It is too late for everyone to flatter. If the new governor is absent from the first important meeting after taking office, then isn’t it a question of a blow? So even the two directors who are inspecting other provinces rushed back to Hedong, for fear of angering the new governor.

Before the meeting notice was issued, several vice governors and government secretary generals sat together in the governor's office, frowning. Here, Li Zhengfeng first explained the government leadership team, and now a unified opinion has been formed within the team.

As executive vice governor, Zhao Dengjie thought for a long time, but he was still a little nervous: Old Li is going to get angry this time, but his actions are too big! Originally, the leaders of several provinces were also worried about funds, and at the same time they knew the chronic disease of spending money at the sudden outbreak, but no one could change it. After looking at the plan in his hand, Zhao Dengjie said: "Governor, although funds are urgently needed on all fronts, the shock caused by your approach may be too great."

The other vice governors also nodded and discussed each other. Some of them were jealous of Li Zhengfeng and they just wanted Li Zhengfeng to do it like this, which would be better for the heavens to get angry and resentful. Of course, they still showed a strong sense of the overall situation on the surface, and they also showed their deep worries with a frown.

Li Zhengfeng smiled and said, "I know, if you do this, it will be a big shock. But as long as the few people here can unify their opinions, I will continue to do it. Some bad habits need to be changed, but it is too difficult and many people are unwilling to change them. Since that is the case, I, Li Zhengfeng, will be a pioneer first."

It is obvious that no one will make fierce opposition to the newly appointed top government leader. Seeing Li Zhengfeng's firm attitude, everyone agreed to pass it unanimously. Then, the meeting notice was issued.

After the meeting, Zhao Dengjie stayed in Li Zhengfeng's office and said meaningfully: "Old Li (he has always called him in private), you will offend too many people if you do this. I know you are in a hurry to open up the situation, and you also know that you can't tolerate sand in your eyes, but you can't slow it down? Stabilization overwhelms everything, how long have you been appointed?"

Zhao Dengjie has always had a good relationship with Li Zhengfeng, with good character and steady work. It is precisely because of these similarities that the two have been able to talk about it before. Moreover, Zhao Dengjie has no complaints about Li Zhengfeng surpassing him and directly serving as governor. He is still one year away from the desire to fight for strength.

Li Zhengfeng nodded, held the glasses in his hand tightly, and said, "Since I'm closing the door to speak, I'll say a few heartfelt words to you, Lao Zhao. I know that as long as I do this, I will be scolded by many people, and even become a 'only husband' in the officialdom. But..."

"But what? No, but!" Zhao Dengjie sighed and said, "Don't look at the directors who seem obedient, who doesn't have a small heart? Which one doesn't have a big tree to enjoy the cool air? If you offend these officials and gangsters, then maybe the situation of fire in every village and smoke in the trees. And..."

He seemed to hesitate whether to say the following words, but Zhao Dengjie finally said it: "And, just in our small team, you can ensure that you think and work together? Now there are those who watch the fire from the other side of the river, and in the future there will be those who take the blame."

Even Li Zhengfeng was a little surprised when he said this thoroughly. At this level, it is rare to say so straightforward.

"Why, Lao Zhao, are you afraid that my broken chair will not be able to sit steadily or even fall down?" Li Zhengfeng said with a smile.

Zhao Dengjie shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Everyone has a day to step down, and I can see through my age of retirement. I admire you this. However, if people leave their names and geese leave their voices, they will leave with glory and glory. To put it bluntly, if they are attacked by groups and have less than a few months of seating, this face problem will be awesome."

"You said you were so glorious, but at most I hope you would leave with great success!" Li Zhengfeng's words penetrated into the depths of Zhao Dengjie's soul. He continued, "You guessed that my seat can be held for several months. I know whether you said it nicely. According to my own judgment, if this matter is done, it will be done. If it cannot be done, I will have to throw this seat out in a month. In fact, you also understand this in your heart."

Zhao Dengjie was stunned. He thought that Li Zhengfeng was just to quickly open up the work situation and was so angry that he let the new official go first after taking office. But unexpectedly, Li Zhengfeng had figured out the consequences. "After thinking about this, you still..."

Li Zhengfeng smiled and said, "If you can regain tens of billions of funds from the tiger's mouth within a month - and you can save so much every year in the future, I think I will be worth it if I step down. I have been in this position for five years, how much benefits can I create for Hedong? And if I can achieve such an effect in a month, I think this month is the most valuable month in my life. Lao Zhao, what do you think?"

Li Zhengfeng's words are correct. For example, if two hundred billion can be cut this year, the budget for these departments and bureaus will be reduced by so much next year, at least more than two hundred billion. Even if you catch up in a few years, the overall savings should reach a very terrifying number. If you can recover so much in a month, this month will be very valuable and exciting.

Zhao Dengjie closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and admired the "lonely hero" in the officialdom in his heart. He suddenly stood up and said, "Old Li, you admire and ashamed me. If you really do this, then I will sell you my life to you this year before retirement. If it cannot be done, I will play chess and fish with you after retirement."

After saying that, the old man turned around and left Li Zhengfeng's office. Zhao Dengjie is worthy of being the "iron donkey" in the officialdom of Hedong. He has a firm personality and a tenacious spirit. Li Zhengfeng smiled and thought to himself that if he was really driven down, he should recommend Zhao Dengjie to take over his position before leaving office.

...

However, not everyone is Zhao Dengjie.

Just after this small-scale meeting was held, some directors of departments got inside information through "antennas" - the governor wanted to crack down on attacks on money, and even used this as a basis to reduce the budget for the coming year!

Suddenly, the entire Hedong officialdom was almost infuriated. People with low levels did not know this news, but those at the director level were basically aware of it. Some poor units were easy to say, such as the Social Science Union, which was not enough to spend. However, some fat departments were almost all over the place. Although everyone was not making a fuss so quickly, they also accumulated a lot of resentment. They were waiting for the final spirit of the conference. If Li Zhengfeng was a little looser, everyone might give him some face.

If it is tightened, it may be wind or rain.

Even some department directors have received the tacit approval from some bigwigs in the provincial government - then we will talk about the direction of the wind.

...

On November 28th, all the officials and bureaus were all ingenious. After checking the number of people attending the meeting, none of them dared to be absent. Even a director who was in poor health who had just retired from the second line had a rush over with infusion tape on his back. First, he wanted to give Li Zhengfeng face, and second, this matter was related to the vital interests of the unit, and no one would be absent.

At first glance, there are only more than twenty departments under the provincial government. However, there are nearly twenty bureaus directly under the provincial government (such as the Provincial Bureau of Industry and Commerce, Taxation Bureau, Tourism Bureau, etc.), plus more than ten institutions directly under the provincial government (such as the Provincial Academy of Social Sciences, Provincial School of Administration), as well as several provincial government offices abroad (such as the Hedong Provincial Office in Beijing, Shanghai Office, etc.)...., large and small, dense, and there are about sixty units together.

The second conference room of the provincial government is a small conference room that accommodates more than a hundred people. These minds sat in it, plus several leaders of the provincial government and some government staff, almost all of them were full.

On the rostrum, all the provincial government leadership teams centered on Li Zhengfeng were present, which shows that the specifications of this meeting were so high. Everyone could see that the faces of several deputy governors seemed a little dull, and they all frowned. So, there was no private conversation in the entire venue, and even if the meeting did not begin, the entire venue was still as quiet as a cemetery.

Finally, it was time for the meeting. Zhao Dengjie, who was the presided over the meeting, looked at the venue. The order was so good. Obviously, many people below had already received news about the meeting content in advance. (7) could only be the ones on the rostrum. Zhao Dengjie was not surprised, but felt a little sad for Li Zhengfeng, the lone hero. Even the people on the rostrum could not be united, so how could they deal with so many guys below?

Zhao Dengjie could see it, and Li Zhengfeng could naturally see it. However, Zhao Dengjie looked at Li Zhengfeng next to his right hand, but saw that he had no expression on his face and was calm and composed.

A iron man! Zhao Dengjie thought of this word for no reason. His eyes habitually glanced at the venue and said, "I called everyone right away today for the fiscal expenditure at the end of the year. The theme and spirit of this meeting were unanimously approved after research by the Governor's Office."

Zhao Dengjie first put forward an argument that "the collective decision of the provincial government leadership team" was also considered a tight curse in advance. Perhaps some directors of departments received certain "instructions", but when they heard the argument that "the collective opinion of the leaders", they would also suspect that they might be their backer, this time, they are a minority in the provincial government team. When it is time to express their opinions, they might be more restrained.
