Chapter 462
As early as the beginning of planning, Li Zhengfeng introduced these situations to Li Jiang. At first, Li Jiang was also like Zhao Dengjie and felt a little worried. Li Zhengfeng just told him: When the meeting is about to end, the secretary will contact Li Jiang. At that time, the matter will definitely be over, just invite Li Jiang to come and express his opinion. If it is just such a small support, Li Jiang will certainly not refuse. After all, if Li Zhengfeng can do this, he will be able to save countless wealth in the province at once. More importantly, in the next few years, he will save so much almost every year, and the financial pressure on his shoulders will be greatly reduced.
When Li Jiang came, he saw that Li Zhengfeng had actually done it, and he was a little more open-minded. Not to mention, it was really the right choice to hand over all the provincial government's big stall to Li Zhengfeng. When the central government came to inspect Li Zhengfeng, as Li Jiang, who was about to step down as governor, he patted the central leaders and promised: Comrade Zhengfeng can definitely control the situation and stabilize the situation. Now that he saw that Li Zhengfeng could really do it, Li Jiang couldn't help but feel much more relieved.
As for Li Zhengfeng not considering these things, he was just thinking about how much money he could recover in the next few days.
Subsequently, Hedong Province launched a vigorous government expenditure collection activity. The people sent by Li Zhengfeng were like wolves and tigers, and the amounts recovered were shocking. During this period, some departments and bureaus made some tricks and even bribed the government personnel, but were arrested by Li Zhengfeng's supervision team. They directly took off the director's black hat and were dismissed from public office. Their decisive skills made everyone dare not do anything random again.
At the end of December, the fiscal funds collected by the provincial government reached 17 billion! Although it was less than Li Zhengfeng's expectations, it was quite shocking. Because not only did so much be recovered this year, but it could also reduce so much funds next year based on these situations, and the addition of inside and outside is more than 30 billion. Moreover, basically, for a considerable period of time in the future, we will save so much every year.
The provincial government took the lead and took action seriously and achieved practical results. All cities, counties and townships also took action - it was just that the intensity was not as large as the provincial government. However, there were many institutions below. There were more than a dozen cities, hundreds of counties and districts, and thousands of streets and towns. With such a huge base, even if each department did not confiscate much at each level, the total number was quite amazing!
After the final statistics, the total number of funds collected by the entire Hedong Province in the next month reached 70 billion!
Li Zhengfeng knew that this number may not even be half of the real balance. However, it is already quite good to be able to do this. With these 70 billion yuan, the government will be much easier as soon as the spring begins. And if we consider that the allocation after the spring will be reduced by 60 to 70 billion yuan, then the government will be even more relaxed.
On New Year's Day, the first day of the Gregorian New Year, the headlines of the Hedong Daily in this province were not about the provincial leaders' group meeting, but about the confiscation. The news on the Hedong Provincial TV Station that day also broadcasted this news.
Suddenly, the people in the province were in full swing and cheering. The first major thing that the new governor had taken office was not the illusory "blueprints" such as "Top Ten Plans" or "Eight Projects". He did such a big thing as soon as he came up. It was 70 billion, and it would not be like a hill when he piled up! Although everyone knows that a lot of wasted every year before, as long as the government started and did it, it would be enough. In fact, the people were still very tolerant.
As a result, there was a very contrasting phenomenon in Hedong: governments at all levels were sad, but the people who learned about the situation applauded. Of course, everyone naturally agreed with this new governor.
The practice of Hedong Province has also set off a frenzy nationwide. The shock caused was extremely strong. Because everyone knows very well: Hedong Province has this situation of spending money on attacks, and other provinces have it. However, other places have not done it. This means that it is not known how much money has been spent on attacks again.
Now is an era of information explosion, and Hedong Province's approach has definitely attracted widespread attention, so that many netizens who are concerned about current affairs in other provinces have also received such news. Suddenly, they hope that their province can also carry out such actions and learn from others. Although the surging public opinion is just a common suggestion, the number of people becomes a huge force.
Suddenly, even the main leaders of other provinces could not hold their faces.
"'Honest Li'? I think that Hedong is simply 'Li's madman'!" a governor sighed, "If he did this, we can't even get out of the market. December has passed, and we just want to recover the money and have no time."
"It can indeed be called 'Li Madman', so why not call him 'Li Zheng Madman'!" The secretary of a certain province smiled bitterly, "What kind of attitude do you think the central government will have towards this? He is a political adventure! Although the money recovered is huge and the losses are recovered, the shock caused is too fierce."
"Who knows, the superiors will definitely express their opinions. Let's wait and see. Li Qianzi, he is such an alternative."
When he was a city-level leader, Li Zhengfeng had the nickname "Li Honest". Once he reached the level of ministerial level, he actually won the title of "Li Crazy" in the next month after taking office. The contrast between the two fronts and backs is surprising. Even the person involved, Li Zhengfeng, just smiled bitterly and did not express his opinion.
Of course, as the secretary of the Hedong Provincial Party Committee, Li Jiang must assume the first responsibility for any major incident in Hedong Province. This secretary who "fully supports Li Zhengfeng" has also received the nickname of "Li Dabang" in the circle. A "bold" and a "madman", I don't know where Hedong Province can take it.
...
At the weekend's family dinner, Yang Sisi was frowning. "Old Li, if such a big thing comes out, will the boss say that you don't know the importance and don't consider the overall situation? Dongfei, you are really. If you help your father do such a big thing, you don't tell me in advance, which makes people nervous."
"What do you say to you?" Li Zhengfeng looked so terrified, "Tell you, can you still interfere with the decisions of the provincial government?! Nonsense."
Yang Sisi curled her lips and ate in a silence. Her husband had just become the governor, and her enthusiasm had not faded yet, so she didn't want anything wrong.
Zhou Dongfei smiled and said, "Anyway, I didn't make any mistakes, at most it was an inappropriate evaluation. My father had told me clearly that even if he had only been a governor for more than a month, he could recover tens of billions and spend tens of billions less next year, which would be worth it."
Anyway, if you can't stop Li Zhengfeng, Zhou Dongfei can only think more clearly. In fact, from the bottom of his heart, he still admires this old man very much. Even if he doesn't become a governor, so what if he doesn't starve to death. Such a vigorous action is worthy of his conscience. In his life, he rarely has the opportunity to do something that makes him feel relieved to enter the coffin.
"Come on, you will know that 'helping evil people'." Qingfang smiled, "Stop talking, eat and eat. Look at the white hair on my dad's head, I don't think it's worth it to work so hard. If my dad doesn't become a governor, he can travel all day long, relax and fish, and maybe live twenty more years."
...
Indeed, in the eyes of many people in the officialdom, Li Zhengfeng, a governor with an unstable foothold, is really a bit overwhelming. It has triggered such a big trend, and even brought the secretaries and governors of various provinces and cities, as well as ministers of central ministries and commissions to the forefront of public opinion, and is accused of being inaction and not doing serious business. This smell of being roasted on the stove made many provincial and ministerial leaders feel extremely stressed. Invisibly, Li Zhengfeng felt a little angry.
On the third day after New Year's Day, an open letter that seemed inconspicuous but had a great impact appeared in Fujian and Guangdong province thousands of miles away.
Di Sheng, secretary of Fujian and Guangdong Province and former secretary of Hedong Provincial Party Committee, published his own open letter on the Internet. Although it was in his personal name, it caused quite a lot of shocks-
"As the former secretary of the Hedong Provincial Party Committee, I feel guilty that I have failed to collect these wasted funds during my tenure and should do my own review... I am familiar with Comrade Zhengfeng, with strong principles and strong abilities. I am not surprised that he can make such a move... As for Hedong Province's actions, I think it is worth learning. In the new year, Fujian and Guangdong provinces should also learn from similar experiences."
Someone responded! It was like a small stone, projecting a not-so-large but eye-catching splash in a dull and depressing ancient well.
If Li Zhengfeng dared to break through the resistance and try something, then Di Sheng was the first colleague to express his courage. Moreover, Di Sheng could have been out of this matter, but he actually took the initiative to wade into this muddy water!
Now even Di Sheng is privately called "Di Erganzi" by the circle. The original secretary was Erganzi, the current secretary was Li Dadan, and the current governor was Li Cangzi. Some strange and alternative senior officials have appeared in Hedong Province!
In private, Li Zhengfeng called the old secretary Di Sheng. On the phone, even Li Zhengfeng expressed his concern: "Old Secretary, you don't have to, and you shouldn't have participated."
Di Sheng on the other side smiled and said, "You are just allowed to be crazy, so I am not allowed to be crazy too. I am talking about being crazy for young people. After working for so many years (7) years, my whole body is gone. Zhengfeng, your incident reminds me of my ambition when I was young. I am ashamed. I am also a person not far from retirement, so what are you afraid of? I can't help you at work, and at least I have to support my attitude. You and Lao Li work hard, and we have a clear conscience."
Li Zhengfeng had nothing to say about Di Sheng's attitude. However, Li Zhengfeng found a bit of a confidant about the old secretary's mentality. He smiled and said, "Okay. If everyone retreats in the future, I will have at least one friend who will fish together, haha."
"It may not be, maybe you will have to worry about more years? It is hard to say whether it is wind or rain." Di Sheng said vaguely. "Then he paid more attention to the methods and methods. You and Lao Li worked hard to make Hedong a new atmosphere. I did not make any major achievements during my tenure, and I always feel sorry for the tens of millions of people in Hedong Province."
After hanging up the phone, Li Zhengfeng fell into a faint sorrow. Yes, it’s hard to say whether it’s wind or rain. Although he got the approval of a certain chief, what do other chiefs think of it?
