After listening to Wang Sheng's introduction, Li Songchen couldn't help but sigh, this family is simply tailor-made for the crossing group. So he immediately said: "Where is this family, have you come to Tianjin?"

Wang Sheng shook his head and said, "They are still in Dagukou, because I didn't know that you would come back to Tianjin in advance, so I didn't bring them to Tianjin immediately, but just asked them to come over during the celebration meeting." ”

Li Songchen nodded, Wang Sheng handled it like this, he did come back suddenly, anyway, he didn't care about waiting for the next two days, so he said: "Okay, then it's decided, as soon as they arrive in Tianjin, they will tell me immediately." ”

Later, Li Songchen told the two of them the general content of his proposal, and at the same time, he also said that he and the Ministry of Construction had already negotiated and supported each other's proposals, and that he planned to go to the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Personnel to seek support.

Li Songchen's proposal was discussed with Zeng Dong and Wang Sheng when he was in the countryside, and although there are some changes now, the general content is still similar, so the two have no objections. As for Li Songchen's desire to seek support from the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Personnel, the two raised their hands in agreement, and Zeng Dong immediately said: "Minister Li, if you don't say that I am still going to mention this matter, this time has passed, and several other departments are actively active, and our Ministry of Agriculture can't look at it like this, but you have been prepared in this regard, then I can rest assured." ”

Wang Sheng also said: "Yes, this matter can't be delayed any longer, we should act immediately and go in the afternoon." ”

Zeng Dong shook his head and said: "I don't think we can be in such a hurry, our proposal has a lot of content, and it is related to the interests of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Finance, so it is impossible for them to give us a clear answer immediately, at least give them some time to study and study, I think we should print out the relevant content first, hand it over to these two departments, let them think about it, and then ask them to meet tomorrow or tonight to discuss." ”

Li Songchen thought for a while, nodded his head, and said: "What you said is also reasonable, I will immediately print out the relevant content, and the two of you will send it to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Finance respectively, and hand it over directly to the minister, and then ask them to meet together, and the time will be set at eight o'clock this evening, because it will be handed over to the Executive Committee in the morning at the latest, and after the talks, we may have a certain amount of time to revise it." ”

The three of them discussed and decided in this way, and Li Songchen immediately took his tablet to the printing room to print out three points of the relevant content, and sent one copy to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Finance, and kept one copy for himself.

After a short time, more than an hour later, Cao Dong and Wang Sheng came back one after another to report to Li Songchen, and Zhang Yuming, minister of personnel, and Jia Zhenzhao, minister of finance, showed great interest in Li Songchen's proposal, and promised to come to the office of the Ministry of Agriculture at 8 o'clock in the evening to have an interview with Li Songchen.

It turned out that after reading Li Songchen's proposal, both of them thought that this proposal would be of great benefit to their own department, and there was a great chance of it being approved by the Executive Committee, because rural work is a key point of the Executive Committee at present. Therefore, the two immediately agreed to Li Songchen's invitation, and immediately recruited personnel from their own departments to discuss Li Songchen's proposal.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Zhang Yuming and Jia Zhenzhao arrived as scheduled, and at the same time brought a few people, obviously all of whom were fully prepared. Li Songchen, Cao Dong, and Wang Sheng took them into the office, and after being polite to each other, they immediately entered the topic, first discussing the grassroots administrative system in the rural areas.

In Li Songchen's proposal, the rural grass-roots administrative system was divided into village-township levels, and the village adopted the villagers' committee system, which was referred to as the village committee; this system was originally formed spontaneously by the peasants of Yishan and Luocheng counties in Guangxi Province in the old time and space, and was elected as a kind of grass-roots mass autonomous organization of a quasi-political nature, whose function at that time was only to assist the government in maintaining social order; after that, similar mass organizations also appeared in the rural areas of Hebei, Sichuan, and other provinces, and they became more and more economic, political, and economic. cultural and other aspects of expansion.

The 1982 Chinese Constitution confirmed the legal status of villagers' committees, thus providing a legal basis for villagers' self-government.

On June 1, 1988, the Organic Law of Villagers' Committees began to be put into effect, and in 1998, the revised draft of the Organic Law of Villagers' Committees was officially promulgated and implemented.

It can be said that the establishment of the villagers' committee system is a change in China's rural political life and an important link in the reform of China's rural system. The villagers directly voted for and elected the members of the villagers' committees, thus putting an end to the long history of village cadres being appointed by their superiors, handing over the right to elect and appointing village cadres to the villagers, breaking the old system of people's communes and production brigades, changing the situation in which village cadres only accept instructions from above and are only responsible to their superiors, and making it possible for village cadres to listen to the voices of the peasant masses and accept the supervision of the villagers. Theoretically, the villagers have made their own decisions on their own affairs and handled them independently, changed the past management mode in which the government took care of everything, and to a certain extent promoted the deepening of the reform of the rural political system.

However, the villagers' committees are grass-roots autonomous organizations in rural areas, not administrative organs, and do not belong to state organs, and the members of the villagers' committees are not separated from production. As a result, members of village committees, unlike government civil servants and staff of other State organs, cannot receive salaries from the State. However, the work of the villagers' committee members will inevitably take up a part of their time and energy, and the government will give appropriate subsidies according to the actual situation.

Of course, Li Songchen also believes that it is impossible to leapfrog to the stage of villagers' autonomy in one step in this era, and it is suggested in the proposal that it should be carried out through three steps: direct leadership of the traverser, designated leaders, and direct election of villagers.

According to Li Songchen's plan, the villagers' committee will be a village-based unit, with a director, two to three deputy directors, and 5 to 10 members, and the main responsibilities of the villagers' committee are: first, of course, to maintain the rule of the traversal group and various laws and regulations; second, to manage the village's land and property, rural production, agricultural economy, construction planning, water conservancy construction, Roads and other infrastructure, as well as public affairs and public welfare undertakings, as well as mediating civil disputes, assisting in maintaining social order in the village, and reflecting the opinions and requirements of grassroots villagers to the crossing group in a timely manner, and putting forward reasonable suggestions.

At present, the director and deputy director of each village committee are all served by the traverser, and the committee members can be held by the traverser, or they can choose activists from among the villagers and train them; about one to two years later, they can select outstanding people from the villagers' committee members and appoint them as the directors and deputy directors of the village committee, and they are under the management of the township and town governments. When the conditions are ripe, direct election of villagers will be carried out.

Unlike the non-state official staff of the old time and space village committee members, the time-traveler who serves as a member of the village committee is of course considered a regular person, and will be paid salary or work points calculated by the time-traveling group. However, after the villagers serve as members of the villagers' committees, the villagers' committees will still return to the nature of rural grass-roots autonomous organizations, and the government of the crossing group will give appropriate subsidies according to the actual situation. In addition, it can be paid from the income of the village treasury. Of course, the subsidy payment method of the club will be based on the actual situation at the time, and detailed rules will be formulated.

The township government, as a grass-roots administrative organ of the group government, belongs to the formal administrative establishment, but in order to prevent the appearance of the old time and space of the township government personnel bloated, overlapping departments and other phenomena, township government agencies, will adopt the comprehensive office system, the general township government will set up 3-5 comprehensive offices, smaller townships and towns only set up a comprehensive office, responsible for the management of the township government's finance, land, auditing, water conservancy, culture, animal husbandry, agriculture, Public security and other affairs will no longer be set up separately. The number of leading positions in township and town governments is limited to 5-10, and the total number of staff is limited to 15-30.

At present, the leading positions of the township government are of course held by the traversers, and if the staff is insufficient, they can be selected from the subordinates or the members of the village committees with outstanding performance, which also provides opportunities for the members of the village committees to be promoted and developed, and gradually transition to the selection of the leaders of the township and town governments among the locals, after all, there are only more than 6,000 people in total, and it is impossible to popularize them to the township level.

The members of the Personnel Department had no objection to Li Songchen's plans, and the Executive Committee had given the Personnel Department a task to the Personnel Department, asking the Personnel Department to arrange as many jobs as possible so that the traversers could make the best use of them. Because so far, there are only more than 400 jobs in Tianjin, of which the Ministry of Public Security accounts for more than half, the rest are staff of various departments, and a small number of other personnel, and there are about 700 engineering personnel, all of which add up to only more than 1,200 people, and there are more than 2,000 people left with nothing to do. Naturally, the Ministry of Personnel should provide strong support.

Li Songchen also took the opportunity to propose to the Ministry of Personnel that due to the difficult working environment in the rural areas, on the one hand, it is necessary to improve the remuneration of grassroots engineering personnel and workers, and on the other hand, grassroots personnel will be given priority in the future.

This is also in line with Zhang Yuming's intentions, because the original situation of a large number of engineering personnel returning has already attracted the attention of the Executive Committee, because some people have complained to the Executive Committee, and the Executive Committee has also asked the Personnel Department to come up with an effective solution as soon as possible.

To be honest, Zhang Yuming is also quite dissatisfied with these people who give up halfway, so he wants to be the king and hegemon in this era, with thousands of dollars in his pocket, and a group of wives and concubines, but he refuses to work hard, and complains to the executive committee, it is so easy, and he thinks that he is a traverser, he is really omnipotent. Therefore, Li Songchen suggested that it is of course a good way to link the qualifications for promotion in the future with the work at the grassroots level, and don't think that it is great to be a traverser, because there are many traversers now, and if you want to get ahead, you must first work hard at the grassroots level for a few years.
