Chapter 478
Jin Rong’s intentions had already become crystal clear.
He, or rather, Governor Qu behind him, intended to appoint people to take over several departments in Dujiang City.
Song Guanchao disagreed, so he was threatened with "reassignment."
In fact, he wasn’t wrong; within the next three to five years, it was absolutely impossible for the top leaders of Dujiang City’s departments to be chosen locally.
The purpose of this was to eliminate the penetration and influence of Hou Wen’s faction in the governmental arena of Dujiang City.
However, Lingjiang City was definitely not included in this scheme.
Now Jin Rong was saying that Lingjiang City also fell within the "local range" of Dujiang City.
Indeed, Dujiang County was still directly managed by Lingjiang, and the two were integrated as one.
Should someone try to meddle and expand influence, tying Dujiang City and Lingjiang City together, then at that time, the so-called reassignment would truly exclude Lingjiang City from being considered "non-local."
Jin Rong was essentially telling him plainly, if you don’t give me a piece of Dujiang City’s cake, then no one gets to eat the cake at all.
This strategy of hurting the enemy while sacrificing oneself was disgusting, yet effective.
