Chapter 2931 Major Provincial Adjustment

"So the matter of Shazhou is completely over and we've turned the page," Zhao Hongjian said slowly.

Qin Feng nodded; he already knew about this news.

Over the past six months, thanks to the meticulous efforts of Qin Feng, Feng Changjun, Chen Guohua, and others, both Qin Feng personally and the Shazhou Municipal Government have initially established a network of relationships within the province that covers the Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial Government, and various functional departments.

Therefore, Qin Feng was able to know immediately about any developments in the province during this period, and he was no longer in an information blind spot. However, he could only obtain the most crucial information from Zhao Hongjian.

"Do you know why I specifically called you to Xidu for a face-to-face talk?" Zhao Hongjian asked.

While arranging the tea set in front of him to make tea for Zhao Hongjian, Qin Feng said, "I think I've guessed it. Is there a result regarding the USB drive we sent up last time?"

“Your political instincts are quite sharp now.” Zhao Hongjian smiled and then said, “Yes, Vice Minister Hong called me yesterday, and then I called Secretary Hu back.”

"How to say?"

"What was your answer when we asked you how to solve the sandbar problem?" Zhao Hongjian asked.

Qin Feng glanced at Zhao Hongjian, pondering the purpose of Zhao Hongjian's question, then placed the brewed tea in front of Zhao Hongjian and took a sip of his own tea.

“I have always believed that the root cause of the sandbar problem is not in the sandbar itself, but in the province. If we don’t dig out the root cause in the province, we can’t solve the problem by just cutting off the branches growing on the sandbar. If we cut them off this year, they will only grow more luxuriantly next year.”

"I don't remember exactly how I answered back then, but my opinion on the issues of Shazhou, Lixin Group, and the Yang family has always been the same: without resolving the provincial issues first, the Shazhou issues will remain unresolved," Qin Feng replied.

Zhao Hongjian nodded, then said, "Do you still remember why Vice Minister Hong and the others sent you to Shazhou?"

“As the mayor of Shazhou, my concern is naturally how to solve Shazhou’s problems. But you and Vice Minister Hong are naturally looking at the entire Ganliang Province and are thinking about how to solve the problems that exist in Ganliang Province.”

"The purpose of bringing me to Shazhou is to completely expose the dark side of Shazhou, so that you can use Shazhou as a starting point to solve the problems of the entire Ganliang Province in one fell swoop," Qin Feng said.

Qin Feng didn't know why Zhao Hongjian would ask him this question again. Both Qin Feng and Zhao Hongjian were already very clear about this strategy, and everything they were doing now was to strive to achieve this strategic goal.

"Yes, that's the problem. We've talked about it many times, and I've also talked about it with Vice Minister Hong and others many times. Because these two things are not contradictory. To solve the problem of the sandbar, we must first solve the problems that exist in the province. To solve the problems that exist in the province, we must first find out the problems of the sandbar."

Qin Feng remained silent. On this point, he and Vice Minister Hong had never been able to reach an agreement. The conflict wasn't about who was right or wrong, but rather about their different positions and perspectives. Ultimately, it came down to who they were and what they were thinking.

"This time, the higher authorities have provided a solution and a clear approach," Zhao Hongjian said.

Qin Feng's eyes lit up, and he asked, "What should we do?"

"Following your method from last time, first change the power structure in the province, then you launch an attack in Shazhou to purge the Yang family, and then the province and higher authorities will use your Yang family's criminal gang as a focus to carry out a comprehensive purge of criminals throughout Gansu and Liangzhou provinces."

“Vice Minister Hong and his team have been working hard to change the power structure in the province, but I told you about the difficulties and obstacles they faced last time. Now, thanks to your USB drive, all the difficulties and obstacles are gone,” Zhao Hongjian said slowly.

Qin Feng looked intently at Zhao Hongjian, waiting for him to continue.

"After reading the contents of the USB drive you handed over, the big boss was furious and supported Vice Minister Hong and his team's suggestion."

"What advice?"

"Transfer Comrade Feng Li'an away from Gansu and Liangshan, and send a comrade from above to Gansu and Liangshan to take over the position of governor," Zhao Hongjian said with a smile.

Qin Feng's eyes widened. He had always hoped that the higher authorities could change the power structure of Gansu and Liangzhou provinces, but he never expected it to change like this. Zhao Hongjian had also been telling Qin Feng that the higher authorities were trying to adjust the structure of Gansu and Liangzhou provinces, but he never expected the adjustment to be so thorough.

Feng Li'an is the governor of Ganliang Province, the second most important person in the province. Even though Zhao Hongjian has been in Shazhou for so long, he is still the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and secretary of the political and legal affairs committee, but his influence is far less than that of Feng Li'an.

The most crucial point is that Yang Guoqiang's powerful backer is Feng Li'an, which is why the Yang family and Lixin Group dare to act arrogantly and lawlessly in Shazhou, and even the municipal party secretary Jiang Longjun dares not confront them.

Qin Feng originally wanted the higher-ups to further strengthen Zhao Hongjian and his group, at least to make them able to contend with Feng Li'an on equal footing, so that his side would have a chance of winning in their operation against the Yang family.

Qin Feng never expected that the higher-ups would take such drastic measures, removing the Yang family's biggest backer directly.

Since the higher-ups have transferred Feng Li'an away, the person who takes over must be someone from the big boss's side, and must be coming down with the big boss's intentions. In other words, it must be one of their own.

Thinking of this, Qin Feng suddenly felt that the road ahead was suddenly bright and he couldn't help but laugh.

Zhao Hongjian looked at Qin Feng's barely suppressed smile and said with a smile, "There's something even more pleasing to you. Do you know who the big boss is planning to appoint as the governor of Gansu and Liangshan?"

"Who?"

"have you seen."

"I've met him? How could that be?" Qin Feng laughed, not believing it at all. He only knew a few important figures, and none of them were suitable to succeed him as governor of Ganliang Province.

"When the big boss called you in for a work report, how many people were sitting inside?"

"Secretary Hu, Vice Minister Hong, you and me," Qin Feng replied after a moment's thought.

"Think about it again carefully," Zhao Hongjian reminded him.

Qin Feng tried hard to recall, and suddenly remembered, replying, "There was another one, but I don't know him. I remember he nodded and smiled at me."

After Qin Feng finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Hongjian, only to see Zhao Hongjian smiling at him. Qin Feng suddenly realized, "You mean he's the new governor?"

"It's too early to say that. At present, this matter is only being considered at the higher levels. However, the big boss's opinion has been decided. Although there will still be some bargaining involved, I think it is highly likely that it has been finalized."

"Now you should understand why someone who seems to have no connection with Gansu and Liangzhou provinces was sitting there having a meeting that day, right? I didn't understand it at the time either, but after hearing this news, I understood everything," Zhao Hongjian added.
