When we were seeing everyone off, many people made dinner appointments with Wang Cheng, and asked Wang Cheng to come and sit at home after he returned to Huxi. This seemingly ordinary amicable attitude among the masses reflected the masses' recognition of good cadres.

After the petitioners left by car, out of courtesy and gratitude, Wang Cheng sent Zhang Song back to his office. On the way to the south gate, Zhang Song said: "Secretary Wang, I always thought that secretaries tend to get acclimated after they work at the grassroots level. After all, they have been there for a long time.

I lack work experience in life in heaven, but you are different, I see the shadow of Secretary Ye in you."

"You've given me the award. I'm ashamed. I still have a lot to learn from you. Thank you Zhang Chu for your help. Without your words just now, there's still a question mark as to what would have happened! In fact, it's not easy for these people. They spent so much time.

They spent money but bought a poorly-finished building; I understand their irrationality, it is not a last resort, who wants to come out here in public on a hot day..." After Wang Cheng said these words, he also walked to the south gate, and the two said goodbye.

…

The petitioners went back in cars sent by the county. After Wang Cheng reported to Tao Ran and Hu Dayong, he took the driver to visit Secretary Ye. Secretary Ye is now retired and idle at home, playing chess, calligraphy and painting every day, which is very uncomfortable.

Secretary Ye, who was watering the flowers in the yard with a small kettle, was surprised to see Wang Cheng: "Xiao Wang, you are so disrespectful, why do you have time to come here?"

"Chief, I just returned to the Provincial Administrative Center for an interview. I thought I hadn't seen you for a month, so I came to see you and your aunt." Wang Cheng said, taking the watering can from Secretary Ye's hand and continuing to water the flowers.

"How do you feel about working at the grassroots level this month?" Secretary Ye took out a mini shovel from nowhere and loosened the soil in the watered potted plants.

"It's difficult, it's too difficult! Like other places, Huxi County is also in a land financial dilemma. When the real estate boom happened a few years ago, the county's finances were still able to maintain; now that the real estate is booming, the county's land cannot be sold.

, the finances are stretched. Take the three fields of science, education and health that I am in charge of as an example, there is no shortage of money." Wang Cheng said while watering the flowers, and at the same time reported the incident of the people's petition to Secretary Ye from beginning to end.

.

"Grassroots work is closest to people's lives. There are many trivial matters and the work is difficult, but it is also the best training for people! But you just mentioned the matter of petitioning for delayed housing delivery in Huxi County. I don't think it is that easy. You can discuss it with the county at the appropriate time.

Let the main leaders here mention it.” Secretary Ye keenly captured the possible problems behind this petition incident.

Wang Cheng immediately understood that local real estate companies like this have more or less intricate networks of relationships in the local area, but Taixin was able to delay the delivery of the house for two years without any problems, and it was still able to obtain it in the name of business last year.

A bank loan that has not been used for any business must have someone behind it. You must know that Taixin Group was already on the verge of death at the beginning of last year...

"As for the issue of land finance, this is no longer just a problem for one county in Huxi. It has almost become a problem for most counties in Daonan and even most counties across the country. Since ancient times, finance and taxation have been the main body of taxation, but in recent times, finance and taxation have been the main body of taxation.

In recent years, local governments that have tasted the sweetness of land finance have begun to sell land crazily and carry out development everywhere. Behind the seemingly prosperous situation is the bubble that is getting bigger and bigger. You see, many county-level governments now have or have been deprived of land finance.

There will be financial difficulties. This is actually quite poisonous and has put the cart before the horse." Secretary Ye picked up the scissors again and started pruning the potted plants.

"But it seems that land finance is a path that has to be taken in recent years. Is it also a kind of progress to achieve great strides in development through a few years of slightly warmer economy?" Wang Cheng asked.

"I agree with what you said. After all, the real development results are here, and we have really made the cake bigger. But it cannot be denied that the adverse impact of land finance is also obvious. The most intuitive is

This has emptied the wallets of ordinary people for decades, and if ordinary people have no money to consume and dare not consume, it will definitely hinder social and economic development; in the past few years, the entire society has put all its eggs in real estate, and I predict that then

It is estimated that there will be these problems, because land and real estate are industries that do not have sustainable development characteristics; these side effects of land finance will slowly appear, and difficult days for the entire society will gradually come." Secretary Ye raised his head and looked up.

Wang Cheng.

Secretary Ye finished his work and welcomed Wang Cheng into the house.

The aunt was holding her computer and watching the latest TV series. When she saw Wang Cheng coming, she was also surprised: "Xiao Wang, why do you have time to come today?"

"Xiao Wang went to the province to handle some official business and came to see us." Secretary Ye explained to his wife, then looked at Wang Cheng and asked: "You must have learned a lot after working in Huxi County for a month, right?"

“I stayed in the county for a month, and what impressed me most was that the county’s development was too advanced, so advanced that I felt it was a bit excessive. Looking at the ghost towns and empty shopping malls all over the county, I always felt that these were not developing.

Rather, it is a waste. These shopping malls are abandoned as soon as they are built. In a few years, they may face the fate of being demolished again. I am slowly reflecting on whether it is right to use GDP as the only criterion for urban development that we have been pursuing?

You see, the per capita GDP of Huxi County is very high, but what about the people’s lives? I don’t think there has been much improvement?” Wang Cheng talked for a long time, and then took the initiative to take Secretary Ye’s tea cup to add some hot water.

"Xiao Wang, if you can see this layer, it means that you have really watched and listened carefully during the month in Huxi, and you have worked hard; you must understand whether GDP has a unique standard for measuring urban economy.

First of all, you need to understand what GDP is? GDP refers to the final results of the production activities of all resident units in a country or region within a certain period of time, calculated based on national market prices. In short, it is the first, second, third and third values ​​of a city in a certain period.

The natural drawback of this calculation method for the total added value of industry is that it cannot reflect the difference in the quality of economic development, nor the accumulation and changes of people's wealth. Furthermore, it cannot reflect people's quality of life. So the per capita GDP you mentioned is very high.

, the living standards of ordinary people do not seem to have improved much. This situation is a reality, and it is also a problem that our leaders have to face." Secretary Ye took a sip of the tea handed over by Wang Cheng and said slowly.

“But currently there is no special way to reflect the economic development level of a region, and the only factor to consider the level of urban development naturally falls on GDP. This has directly led to the fact that in the past few years, many places have blindly pursued GDP growth.

Carrying out large-scale environmental destruction regardless of the local environmental carrying capacity; carrying out large-scale projects regardless of the actual local conditions. This has indeed brought rapid and seemingly prosperous development to our country's economy for a certain period of time. However, when development is limited to bottlenecks, various disadvantages emerge.

, environmental pollution, economic overheating, waste of resources, overproduction... If we survive this bottleneck period, the city will undergo radical changes. If it cannot survive, then the present of some cities in the Northeast will be the future of most counties. It’s just the Northeast.

Cities are in today's situation because of the depletion of mineral resources, and many cities today are because of their land." Secretary Ye said worriedly.

"Chief, I agree with your statement. Take Huxi County as an example. This year's census shows that there are about 300,000 people in total, and the county seat is about 80,000 people. However, there are not many young people on the streets in the entire Huxi County. Most of them are

Grandparents and grandparents who accompany their children to study in the county. More and more people are leaving their hometowns in order to make a living. And if the city loses its most important humanistic foundation, it will eventually lose its vitality." Wang Cheng agreed with Secretary Ye's view.

"Yes, if the city's economy cannot develop, it will naturally not be able to retain people. If it cannot retain people, it will definitely cause the city to lose its vitality and lack development potential. This is a chain reaction. Therefore, during my term of office, I proposed that the county should be transformed.

However, the measures taken during one term are no more than a step away from a city that has evolved over the past ten or twenty years. But you have to understand that if the transformation is not successful, the population of the county will become smaller and smaller in the future.

It's the same as Hegang now, so I hope you can help me finish this unfinished work." After Secretary Ye finished speaking, he got up and went to get the book.

…

"In Huxi County, you must combine the actual situation, boldly try, bravely explore, and find out the models and methods for county economic transformation. In the future, county economic transformation is an important topic to be studied in our governance process. Only by understanding the county economy can we formulate

A more scientific national economic policy!!”

After dinner at Secretary Ye's house, when Wang Cheng was about to leave, Secretary Ye said earnestly: "Xiao Wang, remember what I have always said to you, no road to success is crowded with people, all roads to success are

They are all lonely. In the process of reform and transformation, don’t care about other people’s opinions and opinions, but have the courage and courage to move forward! Land finance has proven to be an unsustainable path, so you must find a solution as soon as possible

, this will allow you to go further and further down this road.”
