Chapter 5: Governing the State, it is solely about governing the officials

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Qiu Mingshan is unwilling to engage in conflict and hopes that all comrades can work together to improve their work. However, this does not mean that Qiu Mingshan is afraid of struggle. If conflict is unavoidable, Qiu Mingshan is not averse to fighting.

No wonder Lei Yun was about to fly into a rage.

I dare not. However, Secretary Qiu, I truly believe that taking extremes and overcorrecting is very dangerous

You are already 46 years old. Have you really forgotten your experiences at the Fan Zhuang Cadre School from a few years ago? If you were to go through it all again, are you certain that you would have a second chance to make a comeback?

This is not Fan Hongyu's "original creation"; it merely conveys what he has seen, heard, and contemplated in another world. In that other world, as the economy continues to develop, the situation of inequality becomes increasingly severe, becoming a major factor contributing to social instability and disunity

In this way, Lei Yun was about to find himself in an extremely awkward situation

It was precisely the fact that the other party was utilizing his close junior that put Qiu Mingshan in a difficult position

Qiu Mingshan could not help but smile wryly

In the words of Lei Yun, this is a blatant betrayal by Qiu Mingshan

Qiu Mingshan cannot make the decision on how to choose

Secretary Qiu, please forgive my audacity. In times of political instability, it is certainly important to uphold principles. However, the greatest principle is to protect oneself. As long as the green mountains remain, one need not worry about firewood. The great leader once taught that if one preserves people while losing land, both people and land will be preserved; if one preserves land while losing people, both people and land will be lost. I urge Secretary Qiu to think carefully!

What does a little brat understand

Qiu Mingshan was truly shocked

Imagine, the "literary aide" of Governor Lei has already changed hands, the psychological impact on the cadres of the Lei Yun Gang will undoubtedly be profoundly heavy

So, is this really your own idea

Rong Qigao said slowly, his tone unmistakable

Fan Hongyu paused for a moment, hesitating slightly, before immediately displaying a resolute expression.

Qiu Mingshan took a deep breath

Leiyun had just vented this anger and disappointment

Qiu Mingshan was about to speak when the red secure phone on the desk rang again

Qiu Mingshan said coldly

What is the feeling when the closest person betrays you

However, Fan Hongyu is truly too young

Secretary Qiu, politics is essentially a war without visible gunpowder smoke. Experiencing repeated defeats yet continuing to fight is, after all, an exception. Life is short.

Comrade Mingshan, I am very pleased that you have such a correct attitude. I hope you will continue to work hard. Alright, you may continue with your work, goodbye

He can only do his best

On such fundamental issues of principle, a single misstep could lead to a complete loss.

Qiu Mingshan involuntarily straightened his posture

If he were facing a mature and composed middle-aged official, even if this official's identity and status were comparable to Fan Hongyu's, merely being a minor office worker, Qiu Mingshan would not be so surprised

If you are "taken out," all your principles and ideals are in vain

I never expected to hear this sentence come from Fan Hongyu's mouth

After a brief moment of hesitation, Qiu Mingshan said in a deep voice

Prior to this, Qiu Mingshan had indeed harbored some "doubts" about Fan Weiguo. In his view, for someone to commit such a "rebellious" act, Fan Hongyu must have been merely acting under instructions.

However, Qiu Mingshan is now somewhat wavering

In an instant, Qiu Mingshan even felt a sense of "monstrous talent".

Yes, Secretary Qiu, I understand. However, I believe that a qualified cadre team with firm beliefs is the foundation of everything. This point must never be relaxed at any time. If we neglect this work now, we may have to expend a hundred or even a thousand times the effort and cost to reverse it in the future, and it may not even yield effective results. Once a new vested interest group is formed, it becomes difficult to shake. Especially relying on a small number of people from this group to sway and change the views of the majority, urging them to give up their acquired interests, is fraught with challenges. The construction and supervision of the cadre team is always of paramount importance. To govern a country, it is solely about managing officials

Without waiting for Qiu Mingshan to speak, Fan Hongyu slightly bowed and stepped out. Looking at Fan Hongyu's tall and upright figure, Qiu Mingshan was momentarily lost in thought, and only after a few seconds did he reach out to grab the microphone

Fan Hongyu is confident that he has made himself clear enough with his words

Rong Qigao said with a smile, generously giving Qiu Mingshan a high evaluation

However, Rong Qigao on the other end of the phone did not give him this opportunity

Qiu Mingshan's eyebrows raised once again: "Are you saying that I am being extreme? Am I overcorrecting? Do you know the actual situation in the Yanhua region? We are a poor area in a poor province, and the age structure of the cadres is severely outdated. The vast majority of the cadres have rigid and formulaic thinking, adhering to conventions, and fundamentally rejecting new ideas and reforms. If this situation does not change or reverse, how can the economic development of Yanhua progress? How can the people escape poverty and achieve a moderately prosperous life?"

Do you understand that everything has its priorities and a sequence of importance

Having become wealthy does not necessarily mean having found happiness

On the other end of the line was Rong Qigao, the Secretary of the Provincial Committee of Qingshan Province

Comrade Ming Shan, I have just read your article. It is excellent, very insightful. The arguments are well-founded, the logic is rigorous, and most importantly, the overall direction is correct, with a clear central idea. Very good!

So, are you really here to give me a lesson

Secretary Qiu, why can the struggle of political ideologies not be mutually integrated, taking strengths from each other? Why must it be either this or that? Struggle is aimed at finding the correct direction and better carrying out work. Mutual integration and mutual learning can equally achieve this goal

Could it be that all of this is truly the doing of this young man before us

This time, he truly had this feeling

Hello, Comrade Mingshan

Fan Hongyu said slowly

Monstrous!

The article revised by Fan Hongyu, as Lei Yungang mentioned, is almost a thorough elaboration of the spirit of Rong Qigao's speech at the recent provincial meeting of party secretaries from various cities and regions, demonstrating a deep understanding of the essence.

Are you teaching me a lesson

Qiu Mingshan is determined to bring this person to light

When did Fan Wei's second son become so successful?

Qiu Mingshan was truly taken aback

At this moment, Rong Qigao suddenly called Qiu Mingshan himself, and his intention was self-evident

He did not expect that Fan Hongyu would utter such a statement. In his eyes, Fan Hongyu was merely a child, just graduated from school, what does he understand? Yet he is expounding at length in front of him

To govern a country, one must focus solely on the management of officials

Qiu Mingshan felt that he could no longer hesitate and it was necessary to express his stance

Shengsheng suppressed the words that Qiu Mingshan was about to blurt out.

Hello, I am Qiu Mingshan

It seems that every word he speaks is a command, and Qiu Mingshan must obey

There must be others hidden behind him who have yet to surface

Even Fan Weiguo might not be able to articulate this reasoning

Fan Hongyu is subtly hinting that there may be significant changes in the high-level political landscape.

Even when he initially suspected Fan Weiguo, Qiu Mingshan felt a faint pain in his heart

How bold you are!

After a long while, Qiu Mingshan finally spoke, a hint of a bitter smile flashing across his face. He suddenly realized that he was somewhat moved by Fan Hongyu.

Comrade Mingshan, as a leading cadre of the Party, you should embody this spirit of seeking truth from facts and being pragmatic. Your article is well-written and very pertinent. I have already instructed comrades from the Provincial Propaganda Department to recommend it to the "Mass Daily" and "Horn" magazine. When necessary, you should personally visit the capital to explain your views face-to-face to the responsible comrades of the newspaper and Party publications

Gazing at the buzzing microphone, Qiu Mingshan distinctly felt that he was already standing at the edge of a cliff

Does he truly possess such insight and courage

Timeless wisdom

On the phone, a voice that was somewhat aged yet full of authority came through

Hello, Secretary Rong www.hetushu.com.com

For a moment, Qiu Mingshan did not know what to say.

Fan Hongyu replied without hesitation

Rong Qigao is indeed the Secretary of the Provincial Committee, and his skills in this struggle can be described as superb, leaving no time for respite or any opportunity for "struggle"

Fan Hongyu's thoughts became increasingly clear as he raised his head and looked directly at Qiu Mingshan, stating firmly: "Secretary Qiu, I am not saying that liberating thoughts is wrong, nor am I saying that we should not reform and innovate. What I am saying is that while emphasizing the liberation of thoughts and deepening reforms, we must adhere to our beliefs and strengthen the ideological education of our cadre team. We must prevent the negation of everything from occurring. There is an old saying in our country: 'If those above have preferences, those below will follow suit.' I am reiterating that while emphasizing the liberation of thoughts and deepening reforms, we must adhere to our beliefs and strengthen the ideological education of our cadre team to prevent the negation of everything from happening. If we excessively emphasize the liberation of thoughts, break free from constraints, and dismantle all past systems without paying attention to the education and supervision of our cadre team, we will be moving from one extreme to another. The comrades below, trying to gauge the thoughts of their superiors, will slide further down the path of liberalization. Currently, we are suffering from poverty, and soon we may face the issue of inequality. If we do not build a strong cadre team and do not carry out effective supervision, no matter how much wealth we create, we may not be able to realize our ideals. This is a matter of two aspects, both of which are indispensable."

Once this article appears in the "Mass Daily" or "Horn" magazine, Qiu Mingshan will have no way out. Although his position is not very high, his influence across the province is considerable, and he is regarded as one of Lei Yungang's most capable aides. Rong Qigao personally called him, valuing his identity as a "theory master".

is not

Qiu Mingshan's eyes widened in an instant
