Chapter 15 The Current Situation of Gushanling Township
In the past few days, in addition to studying the materials from the agricultural technology station, Qi Tongwei has also started writing articles.
Qi Tongwei knew that it wouldn't be easy to get rid of the Liang family's oppression unless Liang Qunfeng was removed from power.
However, Qi Tongwei is merely a time traveler, not a reincarnated Director Qi, and therefore unaware of the serious illegal and disorderly conduct committed by Liang Qunfeng and Liang Lu's two brothers.
After all, Liang Qunfeng retired safely and was not brought down.
Although Qi Tongwei left the political and legal system, Liang Qunfeng could still keep an eye on him. After all, Liang Qunfeng was a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee and had been deeply involved in Handong for many years, so he was very influential.
To escape the Liang family's oppression, he must find a way to attract the attention of higher-ups and gain their approval so that Liang Qunfeng will no longer dare to suppress him.
To gain the approval of higher-ups, one must keep up with the trends of the times.
Reform and opening up is an inevitable trend.
Despite many obstacles, history has proven that it is feasible.
Although he was of low rank and had little influence, he could still create momentum by publishing articles and use his writing to support reform, thereby escaping the Liang family's suppression of him.
The Liang family can suppress a nobody like me without any restraint, but they cannot suppress a pioneer of reform without any scruples.
Soon, an article of several thousand words titled "The Rise of a Great Power: England" was sent out.
Submit articles to the People's Daily, Freedom Daily, Handong Daily, Handong Evening News, Hanjiang Daily, Nanbian Daily, and Huacheng Morning Post.
Qi Tongwei submitted the same manuscript to multiple journals, partly to increase the chances of his articles being accepted, and partly to earn more royalties.
After learning about the agricultural technology station's information, Qi Tongwei began learning from Cao Aikang.
Cao Aikang guided him to learn from scratch, and Qi Tongwei studied very diligently.
Food is the most important thing for people, and there is great potential in the grain sector.
If agricultural technology can be effectively promoted in Gushanling Township to increase grain production for the local people, the work will be outstanding.
"Brother Cao, are we paid on time?"
On the edge of the experimental field, Qi Tongwei handed a cigarette to Cao Aikang, who was sitting next to him.
He was very concerned about this issue. He had just started working and had no savings, nor did his family have any extra money for him.
Qi Tongwei felt that paying wages in full was unrealistic. According to the township's agricultural data, the township's financial situation was not good, and it was impossible to pay wages in full.
Even if we can't pay the full amount, paying one-third will do, since cadres, teachers, doctors, and nurses all need to make a living.
If his article fails to be published and the township doesn't pay his salary, the hundred-odd yuan he has probably won't last until the New Year.
"No, our wages are often delayed. We only received four months' worth of wages in the first half of this year."
This is considered good; in previous years, the township only paid wages for less than half a year, leaving more than half unpaid.
I don't know when these wages will be paid in full.
Cao Aikang lit a cigarette, took a puff, and then slowly said.
Conditions in Gushanling Township are very poor, and the finances are very tight. Often, wages cannot be paid for several months or even half a year.
Therefore, life is not easy for anyone, whether they are village officials, teachers, doctors, or nurses.
"I see. If we don't get paid often, how are we supposed to live?"
Qi Tongwei felt a chill run down his spine after hearing Cao Aikang's words.
Although I had some expectations, I was still very disappointed when I learned the truth.
This was more serious than he had anticipated; no wonder Liang Lu wanted to send him to the Gushanling Township Judicial Office.
The conditions in Gushanling Township are indeed very challenging.
"Don't worry, you won't starve."
There are canteens in the township government for meals, dormitories for sleeping, and you can eat in the villages when you go to the countryside.
The local people welcomed us when we went to the countryside.
After all, our job is to help them increase food production so they can have enough to eat.
Cao Aikang said that although the conditions in the village were very poor, no one was allowed to go hungry.
The township provided food and lodging for everyone, so no one caused any trouble.
After all, it's not that the township doesn't want to pay everyone's wages, but rather that it doesn't have the money.
"By the way, for those who have just started working, the township will pay their first month's salary in full."
Cao Aikang said that the township still values personal relationships and provides special care for newly employed cadres.
Although the village has improved the food and lodging, bedding and daily necessities still need to be purchased by the residents themselves.
"It scared me. I thought they were going to delay paying my salary for the first month of my job."
Qi Tongwei's disappointment immediately eased. He received his full salary for the first month, which meant the next few months would be a little easier.
"Tongwei, do you have a girlfriend?"
Cao Aikang suddenly changed the subject.
"No, I had a boyfriend in college, but we were assigned to different places."
They broke up before leaving school because they lived too far apart.
Qi Tongwei shook his head. He had just broken up with his girlfriend and didn't want to find a partner yet.
"Want me to introduce you to someone?"
Upon hearing that Qi Tongwei was single, Cao Aikang decided to introduce him to someone.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Qi Tongwei is a technician just like him; he graduated from Handong University and has a limitless future.
If Qi Tongwei and the girl he introduced get together, he can benefit from Qi Tongwei's success in the future.
"Thank you, Brother Cao. I still have plans to find a partner for now."
Qi Tongwei has no plans to find a partner right now. He doesn't know how the Liang family will try to suppress him next, and he doesn't want to drag others down with him.
Given Liang Lu's personality, she wouldn't give up so easily. After all, he had been pursuing her for three years, and she couldn't just waste her time like that.
Liang Qunfeng may have become happier after his initial anger.
The judicial office was only trying to prevent Qi Tongwei from achieving results, but the agricultural technology station was prone to problems.
Liang Qunfeng can intervene whenever Qi Tongwei has problems at work.
Qi Tongwei had no choice; the provincial Party committee's organization department assigned him to the agricultural technology station, and he could only accept it sincerely.
After all, the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee's Organization Department were also risking offending Liang Qunfeng.
Otherwise, his benefits won't be implemented, and he'll fall behind others by several steps.
It's important to understand that in grassroots townships, it's very difficult to go from a staff member to a deputy section chief.
Theoretically speaking, to be promoted from a staff member to a deputy section chief, one only needs to have served as a staff member for 3 years, plus the probationary period, which is 4 years.
But that's not actually the case.
Township staff members who want to be promoted to deputy section chief level must meet the requirements of years of service and job position.
Township civil servants who want to be promoted to deputy section chief level must be heads of various stations and offices in the township.
These are the so-called section-level cadres; in townships, only section-level cadres are candidates for deputy section-level positions.
It generally takes two to three years to become the head of a station or office.
Including the time spent as a staff member, it generally takes five to six years to qualify for promotion to deputy section chief in a township.
Secondly, there are also requirements regarding the length of service and job position for township staff to be promoted to deputy section chief level.
More importantly, there need to be vacant positions in townships and the higher authorities need to allow local authorities to recommend and promote candidates.
Generally speaking, there are far more wolves than sheep for deputy section-level positions in townships.
In this situation, most of the time there are qualified personnel holding deputy section-level positions in townships.
To be promoted to the deputy section chief level, at least two deputy section chief positions need to become vacant in the local township. Only under these circumstances can local township cadres have a chance to be promoted.
Meanwhile, for townships, the authority to appoint and remove deputy section-level cadres rests with the higher-level Party committee, while the township Party committee only has the power to recommend them.
However, when higher authorities appoint or dismiss deputy section-level cadres in townships, they often consider the overall environment of the county and need to take into account the opinions of various county party committee standing committees and departments, as well as the needs of cadre development.
In such cases, if there is only one vacancy for deputy section chief in a township, the county often arranges for the appointment of personnel.
Only when there are multiple vacancies will the county exercise its power to recommend one of the positions, allowing the township party committee to make the recommendation.
Finally, for township staff members to be promoted to the deputy section chief level, the main factor in township promotion is the opinion of the township party committee.
Generally speaking, township party committees are qualified to recommend candidates for deputy section-level cadres to higher-level organization departments.
If a township has many qualified cadres, then it depends on which cadre the township party secretary prefers.
Of course, while being recommended by the township doesn't guarantee a promotion, not being recommended by the township means you won't have a chance to be promoted.
Therefore, if you want to rise step by step to become a deputy section chief in a township, you have to work as a staff member for two or three years first.
He did a good job and was valued by the township leaders, and was then promoted to deputy position in the station.
After working as a deputy director at a station for two or three years and doing a good job, he gained the attention of the township leaders and was then promoted to head of the station.
If you work as the head of a station or office for two or three years and do a good job, you will continue to be valued by the township leaders and be recommended to the county for a deputy section-level position.
Only after the county approves can one be promoted to deputy head of a township.
It takes seven to ten years (including the probationary period) to go from a staff member to a deputy section chief, and that's only if you're lucky.
If you're unlucky, you might remain a junior staff member forever.
