Chapter 572: Chapter 528: Back on ‘Daily at Seven’ (Seeking Monthly Tickets) _1


    Chen Renqing pondered for a moment and said: “Vice Chairman Shen, we are inspecting Wanghai New Port tomorrow morning. In this regard, we need to make some arrangements. Superfluous personnel should be removed in advance. In addition, what should be said and what should not be said, all of these need to be well arranged.”


    Everyone present was an official within the system, and no outsiders were present. In this regard, Chen Renqing spoke without any hesitation.


    Nie Zhenbang also understood that this kind of thing is amon practice in officialdom. For Huaxia, a 5000-year-old civilization, such issues have existed since the beginning of the ve society, and it has be a tradition.


    It’s like a parent and their child. Few parents speak bluntly about their children’s shorings in front of others. Basically, they always mention their children’s virtues.


    Take, for example, two old friends meeting. A asks, “B, how are your child’s grades?” In reality, B’s child might perform poorly in school. But B might say, “His grades? They’re average.”


    Simrly, in politics, it’s even more normal for subordinates not to expose their shorings to higher-ups. Officials only show the best side of things, which is why projects focused on scoring political points are ubiquitous across the country.


    “Secretary Chen, everything is arranged. The route, venue, and staff for the inspection have all been prepared in advance. Please be assured.” Li Taishi immediately responded.


    At five in the afternoon, Wanghai Airport was crowded. The leaders of the Provincial Committee of Minnan Province and officials of all levels from Wanghai City were already standing at the tarmac. Amid a group of ck cars, a golden Toyota Coaster Business car was particrly eye-catching.


    At the level of Vice Chairman Shen, the means of travel for inspection would certainly not be an ordinary car. Amercial vehicle is undoubtedly the best choice.


    At ten past five, the aircraft docked at the tarmac. National Vice Chairman, Vice Chairman of the National Military Commission Shen Xiuchao stepped out of the cabin.<div>


    Following close behind Shen Xiuchao were the Deputy Director of the Central Office Fang Li, State Councilor Liu Bingkui, National Development and Reform Commission Director Dai Cao, and others for this inspection visit.


    At this moment, Shen Xiuchao, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and smiling, shook hands one by one with the cadres from the Minnan Provincial Committee and Wanghai Municipal Party Committee. After making a brief speech at the airport, the group, in full force, moved towards the greeting area of the Wanghai City Party Committee.


    Eight o’clock in the evening.


    Thergest seaside square in Wanghai City, under the illumination of bright lights, a massive stage was already erected and looking glorious.


    The square, capable of amodating tens of thousands of people, was fully upied. Armed police from Wanghai City were posted all around the square, leaving no breach. It was a strict guard post with police barriers set up around.


    As the music started, the curtain on the stage was drawn in the center. Well-known hosts from the national television and the star host Zeng Xiaowei from Donggang Special Zone took to the stage.


    “Leaders, guests, dear audience, good evening to you all!”


    A grand lineup of stars made the entire evening g an ongoing climax. This showing greatly impressed Vice Chairman Shen Xiuchao. The cadres of Wanghai City greatly appreciated it, as such evening gs, not being mainstream nor sports conventions, already benefits greatly just from the attendance of a national leader like Shen Xiuchao. His staying till the end was an honor for the entire Wanghai City and a reflection of the importance he ced on Wanghai City.


    Early the next morning, Shen Xiuchao and his party visited Wanghai New Port. Inside the construction site, Shen Xiuchao asked in detail about the port’s design and construction situation. He highly praised the Wanghai City Municipal Party Committee and City Government for their ability to innovate and introduce capital after the smuggling case of the Eastern Sea Group that had a huge impact on Wanghai City’s economy. He praised their ability to restore the economic order of Wanghai City so quickly as highlymendable.


    In the afternoon, at two o’clock.


    After finishing his meal, Nie Zhenbang went to the first yard of the Municipal Party Committee’s guest house, the ce where deputy chairman Shen was temporarily staying.


    At the entrance, not only were the Wujing soldiers of Wanghai City and the military area performing security duties, Shen Xiuchao’s guards in the yard were also keeping a close eye on every move here.


    When Nie Zhenbang arrived, he presented his identification to the guards on both sides and then walked in directly.


    “Mayor Nie, please wait a moment. Allow me to go in and report.” No sooner had Nie Zhenbang entered the yard than he was greeted by a guard.


    A momentter, Huang Yunshan, Shen Xiuchao’s confidential secretary, came out with a smile, saying, “Zhenbang, the leader just mentioned you, thinking that you would definitelye. Coincidentally, the leader has some matters to discuss with you.


    Under the guidance of Huang Yunshan, Nie Zhenbang reached the door of the study. Huang Yunshan first went in to report, then turned to Nie Zhenbang and said, “Mayor Nie, please go in. The leader is expecting you.”


    Once inside the study, Shen Xiuchao picked up a book. Most of the books in the guesthouse’s study were acquired just for show: collections of Marx, Engels, Lenin, Mao, Elder Nan, and so on.


    Seeing Nie Zhenbang standing there, Shen Xiuchao signaled to the sofa and said, “Have a seat, Nie.”


    After Nie Zhenbang sat down, Shen Xiuchao opened the conversation by asking, “Nie, which aspects should we consider first when implementing agricultural work?”<div>


    Upon hearing this, Shen Xiuchao was stunned. In memory of his past life, the agricultural work wouldn’t begin properly until 2001. As it turned out, Deputy Chairman Shen already had aprehensive n. He feared that after the party congress in October, Deputy Chairman Shen would focus on agricultural work as soon as he officially ascended to power.


    After some thought, Nie Zhenbang replied, “Leader, in agricultural work, the main problem lies in dealing with issues rted to farmers, especially the burden on farmers – a factor that can’t be ignored. Currently, agricultural tax and retained earnings in rural areas are significant obstacles impacting farmers’ ie. Alongside this, most farmers travel outside for work and the ruralnds lie unproductive. This is greatly impacting our country’s food security. This time, I believe the best way to conduct agricultural work would be by canceling agricultural taxes and retaining agricultural earnings. In addition, considering the state of deserted ruralnds, I suggest implementing a policy of central financial subsidies and local financial support. The ruralnds should undergo centralized transfer and we shouldpensate for farming on thesends. This would motivate the farmingmunity.”


    “Centralizednd transfer?” Deputy Chairman Shen was taken aback by this term. It was a new concept to him.


    Looking at Nie Zhenbang, Deputy Chairman Shen wondered, how could this kid have so many ideas?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om<div>


    Nie Zhenbang was also a little shocked that he had unexpectedly brought up such an innovative concept. Land transfer system was just a vague idea in his mind from his previous life, he did not know how exactly it should be implemented. Now, all he could do was answer based on his own experience and thoughts.


    After some reflection, Nie Zhenbang nodded and said, “Leader, this is a concept that emerged from my research. The survey data shows that there’s a severe desertion of ruralnds at present. Simply abolishing agricultural tax and retaining funds is not enough. I believe that in the rural areas, there are inevitably those who are unwilling to farm, while those who are willing to settle in the countryside don’t have enoughnd to cultivate. So, why not allow thends to be transferred? By concentrating morend on the leaseholder, we could speed up the process of agricultural mechanization and expand grain production, thereby ensuring the country’s food security.”


    Shen Xiuchao, with his ability and rich working experience in grassroot areas and remote poverty-stricken areas, understood the gist of the unique proposition after little contemtion. He nodded and said, “Nie, formte a document based on this n as soon as possible and send it to me then.”


    After a pause, Shen Xiuchao began speaking again, “This time, Wanghai has done well. You have managed to pull the city out of difficulties so quickly without central financial aid or policy support, which is impressive. ‘Daily at Seven’ will also broadcast this news. You should seize this opportunity to ovee the challenges. In addition, this time the Ministry of Transport, the National Development and Reform Commission and the State Council have released ns for the development of highways in the new century. You should study it carefully.”


    After leaving Shen Xiuchao, Nie Zhenbang was still in a state of shock. These two pieces of news came at the right time. Getting featured on “‘Daily at Seven''” would not only expose the officials to the country, but it also represented the central government’s attitude, indicating that the achievements of Wanghai were recognized. This news did not matter as much to Nie Zhenbang, but the news about the State Council’s n for highway development in the new century excited him. At present, Wanghai City only has one highway, which restricts its economic development. If Wanghai can be incorporated into this nning system, more highways through Wanghai can be secured. This would greatly promote Wanghai’s development. (
