Official road bends

Chapter 8, The 703th Book

Li Yi thought to himself, what do you want to support us spiritually?

We do not lack spiritual support, what we lack is material support!

"Minister Xu..." Li Yi said: "Connecting roads to townships is a major event that benefits the people, and it is also a feat to serve agriculture, rural areas and farmers. Only when roads are connected can the rural economy truly develop."

"Everyone knows that drinking milk every day is good for your health, but we can't give everyone a bottle of milk every day, right?" Xu Weichang found Li Yi's words funny yesterday: "The most important thing is to rely on the farmers' own hematopoietic ability. Rely on the development of the cities and counties below you. When you have money, you can do whatever you want. If you want to build roads, you can build roads. If you want to distribute milk, you can distribute milk! If you don’t distribute milk, you can distribute beef. "

"Minister Xu." Li Yi said: "I am reporting to you seriously."

"I am also seriously replying to your report." Xu Weichang shook his hand and said, "Your report is very good, and the Ministry is very supportive, but the funds are self-financed."

Li Yi said: "Minister Xu, we must raise part of the funds ourselves, the province will also support part, and the villagers will raise part by themselves, but there is still a huge funding gap. Please give us some support from the Ministry no matter what."

Xu Weichang said: "Then I will give you 500 million!"

Li Yi said: "Minister Xu, 500 million? Is it too little? Is this enough to repair several miles?"

"Hey! So many cities across the country come to ask for money. No matter how much money the Ministry of Communications has, how many shares can it divide? Five million is enough, don't you?" Xu Weichang said.

"Yes." Li Yi smiled and said: "Mosquito legs are also meat. How many miles to build is also how many miles to build. Minister Xu, it's like this. Several of our comrades from Yizhou admire Minister Xu's demeanor very much. Before, the comrades repeatedly asked me to invite Minister Xu out for a meal to thank him for his strong support for our work in Yizhou."

"Hehe, this is unnecessary." Xu Weichang's tone finally became a little better, and he said: "It's not easy for the comrades below you. They run up and down for the cause of the country and the people, and they don't lose any benefits. I I also know the difficulties of your work below, so I promised to give you 500 million support."

Li Yi said: "Yes, thank you Minister Xu for your understanding. That's it, we will pick you up in the afternoon, and when you get off work, we will have a dinner together."

Xu Weichang said: "Let's talk again, let's talk again!"

Li Yi knew it was almost done, so he got up and said goodbye.

As soon as he came out, Gao Tianzhen and Liu Yiping came forward to meet him and asked, "Mayor Li, how are you doing?"

Li Yi said: "500 million has been approved."

"Ah? Only 500 million? What is this enough for? Such a big Ministry of Communications, so stingy!" Gao Tianzhen said indignantly, "We've all been waiting for four or five years!"

Li Yi said: "It's enough to make millions a day! Be content!"

Gao Tianzhen said: "Then this small amount of money can't do anything big! It's still not enough to connect every village with roads."

Li Yi said: "It's better to have money than nothing. I invited Minister Xu to have dinner together in the evening. Let's talk about it then! I think there is still a lot of room for it."

Liu Yiping said: "Yes, as long as Minister Xu is willing to come out, we have a solution."

Li Yi asked: "How is the Ministry of Education going?"

Gao Tianzhen said: "The Ministry of Education has a deputy secretary and deputy minister of the party group. He is a cadre who went out of Xishu. We asked him. He said it was a good thing and promised to help. We also have to ask this old leader. "

Li Yidao: "There is an endless stream of people who come to run funds every day, and the money in the ministries and commissions is also limited. It doesn't make any difference to them whether the leaders give it or not. Anyway, they support the work below. It depends on the people below us. means."

Gao Tianzhen said with a smile: "Then we have to have the Eight Immortals cross the sea and each show his talents. If we can get funds for both transportation and education, then the work in our city will be easy to carry out."

Liu Yiping said: "Education and transportation have been improved, and other tasks in the city will be handled accordingly."

Gao Tianzhen said: "Then why don't you invite the leader of the Ministry of Education tonight, and you can save money for a meal?"

Liu Yiping said: "This is not good. It will be disadvantageous if the two sides collide. Moreover, the vice ministers from both sides are of the same level. If we have a slight shift in our focus, I am afraid that the success will not be enough, and the failure will be more than a failure."

Li Yi said: "Comrade Yi Ping is very right to worry, save what you need to save, and don't save what you can't save."

Gao Tianzhen said: "Then let's treat the guests separately. We will invite comrades from the Ministry of Education tomorrow."

Everyone found a decent restaurant not far away, and booked a large box.

The capital city is too big, and it takes time to drive back and forth. Li Yi and others found a teahouse outside the Ministry of Communications, ordered a cup of tea, sat and rested, and waited for Xu Weichang to get off work.

Gao Tianzhen said: "The bigger the city, the faster the pace of life. When you see the rushing traffic and people outside the street, it feels like you are going to a market."

Li Yi smiled and said: "Everyone is going to the market, the country people are going to the small market, and the city people are going to the big market!"

Everyone laughed.

Huang Chang and Qiu Zihan went to Beijing with them this time, and they had nothing to do. The two visited the major attractions in the capital together.

There was an important banquet tonight, so Liu Yiping informed them to come.

After a while, Huang Chang and Qiu Zihan rushed over.

When Li Yi saw them appear, his eyes lit up. It turned out that after they came to the capital, they each bought two of the most popular dresses in the capital and put them on.

"Hehe, it's still our Yizhou girl, it's so pleasing to watch!" Li Yi smiled.

Huang Chang said faintly: "I don't believe it. There are so many beauties in the capital, and we are nothing but dirt."

Li Yi knew that she was blaming himself for neglecting her, so he couldn't comfort her at the moment, so he just smiled.

Liu Yiping said: "Mayor Li, I have an idea. Don't you know a lot of senior leaders in the capital? Can you invite one or two? Let's have a drink at night and exchange ideas?"

Li Yi understood his intention.

This trick is called a fox pretending to be a tiger!

If one's own strength is not enough, one or two tigers are invited to use its power to deter other people.

"This is a good idea." Gao Tianzhen also agreed: "If a higher-level leader comes forward to speak for us, then the leader of the ministry will definitely give us a high opinion, and maybe they can give us a few hundred million more. What about the funds!"

Li Yi said: "This is a feasible method, and it doesn't cost much, and it has immediate results."

Huang Chang said: "It's just that the guests we want to invite are already high-ranking officials at the ministerial level. If we want high-level leaders, wouldn't they be at the national level? I'm afraid it will be difficult?"

Liu Yiping sighed, and said, "That's right! If you really have that kind of relationship, it's better to go directly to the country's leaders!"

Li Yi thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Yes. I'll invite two people, and they will be useful."

Everyone asks who is it?

Li Yi smiled and said: "A person with a lot of background! Hehe! These two people are my friends. I will invite them first to see if they are free at night."

He called Gu Zhiwu first.

After coming to the capital, several friends are also very busy, and there is not much time for gatherings.

When Gu Zhiwu heard that Li Yi wanted to treat him tonight, he agreed with a smile.

He is still the famous saying with a hippie smile: "As long as there is a woman, I will go."

Li Yi cursed with a smile, told him the time and place, and asked him to come by himself when the time came, and said with a smile: "You can bring your family."

Gu Zhiwu lowered his voice and cried, saying that he was single, where did his family come from?You gang of bad friends are all eating meat now, and I am the only one who doesn't even have to drink soup. You have to be responsible for solving this matter.

Li Yi chuckled and knew that he was still at work when he heard what he said, so he hung up the phone.

Then, he called Xiaoyan again.

He knew Xiaoyan's office phone number, so he directly called her office landline.

"Hi, hello, this is the Central Office, may I help you?" Xiaoyan's pleasant voice came over.

"Hehe." Li Yile.

"Ah? It's you!" Xiaoyan said, "Mayor Li!"

Li Yi said: "I laughed, and you heard the sound?"

"Of course." Xiaoyan said with a smile: "I am very familiar with your voice."

"Are you free tonight?" Li Yi asked.

"Is there anything tonight?" Xiaoyan asked back.

"I want to invite you out for a meal together." Li Yi said.

"Okay!" Xiaoyan said, "I'll make arrangements."

Li Yi was grateful, knowing that she had a job, but in order to go to his banquet, he specially transferred her.He told her the time and place, and said that he would pick her up then.

"Don't pick it up, I'll go by myself." Xiaoyan said, "The road is too congested during rush hour. It's inconvenient for you to go back and forth."

What a considerate person.

"Okay, goodbye then." Li Yi said.

"Goodbye." There was a little excitement in Xiaoyan's voice.

"Mayor Li, who are you inviting?" Liu Yiping asked with a smile.

"A real big shot." Li Yi smiled: "When they come, you will know."

Huang Chang pursed his lips and said with a smile: "It can't be the No. [-] chief and the No. [-] chief?"

"Although not, it's not far away." Li Yi replied.

Everyone was looking forward to it, wondering what kind of big shot Li Yi had invited.

It was time to get off work in a blink of an eye, and Li Yi and others went to pick up Xu Weichang.

Xu Weichang went downstairs, looked at Li Yi and the others, but still shook his hand and said, "Don't go."

After repeated requests from everyone, Xu Weichang finally said: "I was going to invite a friend to dinner, since you are so enthusiastic and persistent, then I will bring my friend along?"

"Of course, of course, take it with you." Li Yi and the others said, "Minister Xu's friends are our friends."

Xu Weichang smiled and made a phone call. After a while, a female comrade in her 30s came over. She was obviously a staff member of the Ministry of Communications.

Li Yi and the others were about to come forward to shake hands, when Xu Weichang called her, "Xiao Keer."

Everyone suddenly became smart, and felt goose bumps all over their bodies. (To be continued.)
