Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 416: Is it possible that only the surname Guo can be found in Jiangchang County?

Qi Tongwei walked around the embankment again before turning back.

As soon as I got in the car, the secretary handed me new leather shoes and socks and reported, "Secretary, I just received news from the county that there is a new situation in Wayi Township."

Qi Tongwei took off his shoes and socks and wiped his feet with a towel. "What's going on?"

"I heard that the villagers demolished the specialty garden built by the county."

Qi Tongwei threw the towel away and said angrily, "What are the Party and government leaders of Wayi Township doing? Can't they just have a few days of peace?" He then said to the driver, "Xiao Zhang, go to Wayi Township."

The driver responded, turned the steering wheel, and sped towards Wayi Township.

On the way, Qi Tongwei spoke with Wayi Township Party Secretary Kong Changling on the phone. The other party started by complaining: "Secretary Qi, I suggest that the county committee remove Guo Lei from his post. Otherwise, our Wayi Township will not be peaceful, and Jiangchang will not be peaceful either."

Qi Tongwei's heart sank. "Tell me slowly what happened."

"This guy has bad intentions. I suspect he was the one who instigated the people's riot this time. He's promoting feudal ideas."

"Tell the important point!"

"You and the county government built this specialty garden for Wayi Township with the intention of promoting prosperity for everyone. However, due to the recent incessant heavy rain, some people started spreading rumors, saying that our construction affected the feng shui of Wayi Township and angered the Dragon King, causing the incessant rain."

Qi Tongwei was annoyed. "Isn't this nonsense? Didn't your township government educate everyone about this?"

"It has been publicized, but... you... you also know about the special situation of the Wayi people."

Kong Changling's hesitant reply made Qi Tongwei realize that the Party Secretary was not to blame.

Each place has its own customs and habits, and this is even more so for ethnic minorities.

It also explicitly stipulates that the languages, scripts, religious beliefs and customs of ethnic minorities must be respected and protected, and that the degradation or assimilation of their cultures must be avoided.

But sometimes such a culture will become an opportunity for people to exploit. With a little disturbance and incitement, people's herd mentality will come into play and things will become serious.

"You just said that Guo Lei instigated this. Is this just your subjective suspicion, or is there established fact?"

Kong Changling said, "Secretary Qi, you don't know that he has become a different person since Mayor Lu came to inspect us last time.

He recruited a group of people in the township to openly oppose the township party committee and refuse to follow the party.

Qi Tongwei interrupted, "Stop accusing me and get to the point."

"Hey, he said today that he was going to inspect the village, and as soon as he left, the village was in turmoil. How could it be such a coincidence? And I also heard that he went to the city for no reason. I asked around and found out that he was either going somewhere else or to Mayor Lu's house.

You say, everyone knows that the relationship between Jiangchang County and Mayor Lu is tense, but he still does this, what is he thinking? "

Qi Tongwei did not believe the first encounter and decided to meet the person first.

When the car arrived at Wayi Township, Kong Yiji had already arrived there early.

After all, he was the county magistrate, and Kong Yiji's appearance temporarily calmed the villagers.

"Secretary Qi is here." Someone shouted, and everyone's eyes turned to the car that had just stopped.

As soon as they saw that figure, everyone stood in a row consciously, and Kong Yiji took a few steps forward to greet him.

Qi Tongwei asked as soon as he got out of the car: "Old Kong, is the situation serious?"

"Secretary Qi, it's not a big deal. It's just some elderly people's feudal superstitions. We've already dealt with it."

“How long is the shelf life of this treatment?”

"this…."

Qi Tongwei glanced at the other person coldly and strode into the specialty garden.

A group of staff were moving things around and cleaning up the mess on the ground.

The traces of smashing and destroying the wooden structures on the characteristic garden are clearly visible, and the public facilities are severely damaged.

Qi Tongwei shook his head, sighed, and asked Kong Yiji who had caught up with him, "How did you handle it?"

"I explained to them that this flood is not just happening here, it's happening in other provinces as well, and some are even worse than ours, so it has nothing to do with building the specialty garden.

Their main reason was that they felt that they didn't make much money from building this, but instead it caused floods, so they were dissatisfied.

Ultimately, it's still a problem. Because of the bad weather recently, there are fewer people visiting, which makes everyone less excited. It would be better if we could just talk it out."

Qi Tongwei nodded, but was not satisfied with the arrangement. "Old Kong, do you have any ideas about the work in Wayi Township?"

Kong Yiji understood immediately that this was a plan to start a revolution among the Wayi people.

As a member of the Wayi tribe, he didn't want to make trouble from the bottom of his heart. Who knew what Qi Tongwei was thinking? If he made trouble and the Wayi tribe lost its transcendent status, how could his descendants easily receive preferential treatment?

After hesitating for a moment, Kong Yiji said, "Secretary Qi, Wayi Township does need changes, but the work here is quite complex and one small move will affect the entire system. We need to make a long-term plan."

"I don't think there's any need to discuss it. A short-term pain is worse than a long-term one. Let's make changes sooner rather than later." Qi Tongwei said, "Recent events have made me feel that the Party and government leadership team in Wayi Township is quite incompetent. I suggest that we should be bold in selecting Party and government officials."

It is best to boldly use young cadres. We have to replace the old and outdated team.

I understand what you are worried about, but stability in a region is very necessary.

In this way, we will still select from within Wayi Township, but we must vigorously develop young party members to step into the forefront.

We can't have a small disturbance every three days and a big disturbance every five days. If we don't put any restrictions on it today, it will inevitably cause something that will anger everyone in the future.

How about this? We will not touch the clan leaders of your various ethnic groups, but their positions as village heads will be removed. As for the village party secretaries, they can be appointed by our county, whether they are from the Huaxia or the Wayi tribe, but these people must have a sense of reform.

Of course, we sent the village party secretary here only to provide assistance, not to manage them. We need to dispel their resistance.

In addition, team leaders should be added on this basis. These people should be young, preferably those who have worked outside, have been exposed to the outside world, and can accept new things.

You can even have your tribes stationed at different locations. Anyway, we can't let these elders act recklessly and command the entire village."

"That's something we can try." As long as the people are still in charge, he thinks it doesn't matter much.

"Then you take charge of this matter." Qi Tongwei warned again: "If you do this once, twice, but not three times, I don't want it to happen again. Otherwise, it will mean that you, as the county magistrate, are incompetent."

Then he muttered to himself, "I remember that Deputy County Magistrate Guo, who came from the Merchants Group, did a good job. Does that mean the county magistrate of Jiangchang County can only be named Guo?

Oh, you see, after what you did, I almost became superstitious."

Qi Tongwei patted Kong Yiji, and the latter suddenly felt a chill on his back.
