Chapter 1703: Thunderous
For Liu Fusheng, Chaojiang River is another difficult hurdle he needs to cross.
If you can cross it, you will soar into the sky like a dragon. If you can’t cross it, you will be beaten back to your original form.
In Chaojiang, he will face complex situations and difficult enemies. Clans and smuggling gangs are just appetizers. The person who is truly in power in eastern Guangdong Province is Tang Shaoying, the eldest son of the Tang family. He claims that he has never made a mistake and is good at building strong camps and fighting stupid battles, which is quite similar to Zeng Guofan's style.
The two had once had a confrontation in Fengliao Province. Both sides were evenly matched that time because Tang Shaoying had no intention of taking Tang Shaohao away, and Liu Fusheng also used all his means to provide the other party with enough reasons.
The situation is very different when moving from Fengliao Province to Guangdong Province. That is Tang Shaoying's home court. Liu Fusheng is currently unclear about how much power the opponent can mobilize in Guangdong Province and whether they will be able to crush him.
No matter what, the two of them still have to fight, because the Bai family and the Tang family have reached the point of fighting.
When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins.
……
On the flight to eastern Guangdong, Zhou Xiaozhe sat next to Liu Fusheng and carefully reviewed various materials.
This time when Liu Fusheng went to Chaojiang City, he only brought his secretary Zhou Xiaozhe.
He was going to move to another place and become the municipal party secretary. He needed an assistant who could fully understand his ideas and implement them without fail. Zhou Xiaozhe had been doing a very good job, and Liu Fusheng was very satisfied with him.
Zhou Xiaozhe said softly, "Secretary Liu, the situation in Chaojiang City is quite complicated. Jiangtou City, Chaojiang City, and Jiyang City were originally three independent cities. Later, because of the special economic zone planned by the state, they were unified and placed under the jurisdiction of Chaojiang City."
"The place where the fire occurred is located in the core area of Jiangtou City, which is also the most economically developed area in Chaojiang City. According to data, the maritime smuggling trade in Jiangtou City is large in scale, with a large number of people engaged in it, and a complete black industry chain has been formed."
Liu Fusheng pondered and said, "There may be some risks when we go to Chaojiang this time. Before we set off, I have emphasized to you the seriousness of the problem. You must be aware of it. If you are worried, you can choose to stay in Fuyuan City and assist Sun Hai in handling the work."
Zhou Xiaozhe shook his head and said, "Secretary, I have been with you for such a long time. When have I ever been afraid? Not to mention going to Chaojiang to take up a post, I will follow you even if it is a dangerous place. Even if we go to the battlefield, I will be your guard and can protect you from bullets!"
Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "Okay, just be mentally prepared in advance... Who will be welcoming us this time?"
Zhou Xiaozhe flipped through the list and said, "Those who came to the airport to greet us included leaders from the Organization Department of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, the mayor of Chaojiang City, the mayors and party secretaries of Jiangtou City and Jiyang City, as well as leaders and representatives of the people from the Chaojiang region, the business community, etc. It should be quite a grand occasion."
Liu Fusheng said: "Are these all local tyrants?"
Zhou Xiaozhe said, "Secretary, why do I feel like you're a little nervous? You used to be very relaxed wherever you went."
Liu Fusheng sighed, "I am indeed very nervous. Chaojiang has always been a place of its own, and few leaders from other places can make a name for themselves here. In the eyes of these local tyrants, I am probably the kind of leader who will be transferred to another place if I stay away for too long."
The actual situation is indeed like this. The local leading cadres in Chaojiang are not aware of the complicated relationship between the Bai family in Yanjing and the Tang family. To put it bluntly, they are just tools and their level is far from enough. All they can consider is local protectionism.
These local leaders and local tyrants only thought that Liu Fusheng, the municipal party secretary at the vice-provincial administrative level who was suddenly parachuted in, should use Chaojiang as a springboard and would be transferred to other places after a while to continue to serve as a vice-provincial level official.
After all, because of the fire not long ago, the party secretary of Chaojiang City has resigned, and the mayor and party secretary of Jiangtou City have also been criticized by the organization. The officialdom of the entire Chaojiang City is in a tense state, and an outsider must be sent to break the deadlock.
After Liu Fusheng finished thinking, he asked Zhou Xiaozhe: "Have you contacted the special case team of the Ministry of Public Security?"
Zhou Xiaozhe said: "We have contacted them. Team leader Qin will also be waiting for you outside the airport with comrades from the Ministry of Public Security's special case team."
He thought for a moment and continued, "Secretary Liu, according to normal procedures, it should be the Organization Department of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee and the local government officials of Chaojiang City who are responsible for welcoming you and giving you a welcome party. At this time, is it inappropriate for the comrades from the special case team of the Ministry of Public Security to show up?"
Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "Team Leader Qin and the others are all my old friends. I just took this opportunity to meet with them and reminisce about the past."
Zhou Xiaozhe nodded and stopped talking.
Liu Fusheng looked at the floating clouds outside the window and said, "Xiao Zhou, do you know who is the most famous ruler in Chaojiang City's history?"
Zhou Xiaozhe smiled and said, "I just looked through the information. You should be talking about Mr. Han Wengong from Changli, right? He wrote an article satirizing the emperor's welcoming of the Buddha's bones, which angered Emperor Xianzong of Tang and he was almost killed. He was demoted to the governor of Chaojiang because Pei Du pleaded for him."
"It is said that when Han Wengong arrived in Chaojiang, crocodiles were rampant in the area, eating up all the people living near E Creek. In order to control the crocodiles, Han Wengong wrote a famous article "Crocodile Essay" to persuade the crocodiles to move away. Soon after, the water of E Creek moved 60 miles west, and the crocodile problem was eliminated forever in Chaojiang."
Liu Fusheng nodded and said, "Legends are unbelievable, but Han Yu did manage Chaojiang in an orderly manner. This time I came to Chaojiang, I will take him as a role model, learn from his spirit, and clear away the bad habits in Chaojiang."
……
The flight slowly landed at Chaojiang Airport.
Liu Fusheng and Zhou Xiaozhe, as well as the staff of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection who were responsible for escorting Liu Fusheng to perform his duties, walked into the VIP channel together.
exit.
A long row of black cars were parked neatly here, and there were even people nearby who had set up a cordon to separate this place from the ordinary passenger area.
Several government officials wearing white short-sleeved shirts and black trousers got out of the car on time and greeted Liu Fusheng and others with smiles.
The staff of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee said, "Secretary Liu, the person in the front is Section Chief Hou of the Organization Department of the CPC Guangdong Provincial Committee. He will hand over the work to me and introduce the general situation of Chaojiang City to you."
Liu Fusheng nodded to indicate that he understood.
Hou Chunyu, who was working in the Cadre Section of the Organization Department of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, had already walked up to them quickly, extended his hand enthusiastically, and said with a smile, "You must be Comrade Liu Fusheng, right? I have heard of your name for a long time. Welcome to our Guangdong Province to work!"
Liu Fusheng said politely: "Chief Hou is too polite. It is my honor to work in Chaojiang City with a long history."
