Hearing Li Songchen say that he supported the proposal of the Ministry of Construction, Jiang Zhiyuan was also very happy and said, "Then thank you so much Minister Li." ”

Li Songchen smiled and said: "What is there to thank for this, this proposal of the Ministry of Construction is also for the benefit of those of us who are engineers in the construction of the new countryside, and of course we should support it." ”

Jiang Zhiyuan said: "These are what our Ministry of Construction should do, the Ministry of Construction is responsible for the management of the project, of course, it should be considered for the interests of the engineering personnel, and we not only want to improve the treatment and status of the engineering personnel, but also try our best to improve the construction conditions and management system, how to say?" Now the system formulated by the Executive Committee is too rigid, many things that can be solved by our Ministry of Construction, but we have to hold meetings to study, and the use of many equipment must be discussed by the Executive Committee, in fact, some equipment is not high-tech, there is no need to discuss repeatedly, if the right to use part of the equipment can be delegated to the Ministry of Construction, it will be able to greatly improve the efficiency of the project, in order to better serve the engineering personnel, Minister Li, you say yes?"

After listening to Jiang Zhiyuan's remarks, Li Songchen also basically understood the intention of the Ministry of Construction, which was to use the interests of engineering personnel as an excuse to take some private trade, expand the scope of the Ministry of Construction's authority, and win more power to control resources.

It should be said that in the current administrative structure of the crossing group, the Ministry of Construction is of course an important department, on the one hand, the Ministry of Construction is also concurrently serving as the responsibility of water conservancy, electric power, transportation, railways and other departments, on the other hand, in the future for a considerable period of time, infrastructure construction is an important work of the crossing group, so the Ministry of Construction naturally plays a pivotal role.

However, compared with the current role of the Ministry of Construction, the functions and powers of the Ministry of Construction in the Ministry of Administration are not compatible. Because in the old time and space, construction projects are often one of the hardest hit areas of corruption, the Interim Executive Committee also maintains considerable vigilance in this regard, rather than waiting for corruption to correct it, it is better to prevent it as soon as possible, so the management of construction projects is very strict, which virtually limits the scope of authority of the Ministry of Construction, and also affects the work efficiency of the Ministry of Construction. Naturally, the Ministry of Construction will not be reconciled, hoping to fight for its rights as much as possible.

Of course, it is not only the Ministry of Construction, but other departments are also actively active. It turned out that after the end of the Tianjin Defense War, the military threat faced by the Tianjin area has also been greatly reduced, although the next focus of the crossing group is still in the military aspect, but in the Tianjin area, it has begun to tend to the construction of the region's economy and people's livelihood, which means that the administrative department will replace the army and become the main role of the region. At the same time, during this period, the nine departments established at the Tianjin Conference have basically completed the framework of their own departments, and naturally hope that their departments can play an important role, so they have submitted proposals and reports to the Executive Committee to strive for projects and expand the scope of their terms of reference. There are also seven preparatory departments that are also working hard, and I hope that this department can be officially listed as soon as possible.

It is also very important for the department to successfully win the project authority and win enough allies. Although the decision-making system of the Interim Executive Committee is not yet very perfect, major decisions are basically decided by the five permanent members of the Interim Executive Committee. At present, the other committee members and alternate members only have the power to propose, participate in deliberations, and make suggestions, but they do not have the power to participate in deliberations and make decisions. Of course, if during the discussion, when the majority of the members and alternate members agree with a certain proposal, the five permanent members will basically not stop it, and several resolutions have been passed in this way before.

Under the current decision-making system, the importance of allies is even more apparent, and only by making enough allies can the department's proposals be passed. Therefore, during this period, the main action of the activities of the various departments is to build relationships with each other, make friends, and establish their own circle of allies.

Of course, the five permanent members of the Provisional Executive Committee are well aware of this, but they have not stopped it; first, there is no way to stop this kind of thing, and it cannot be said that different departments are not allowed to meet and talk; second, the establishment of alliance relations is inherently a political act, and in the old time and space, whether it was a multi-party government, a one-party government, or even some systems of relative dictatorship, this was not the case. Therefore, as long as it is done within a reasonable range, there is no need to stop it.

Of course, compared with the various political interest alliances in the old time and space, the so-called alliance between various departments at this time was still in a very early stage, because the current time travel group could not be regarded as a complete state power system, and there was no fixed political group formed internally, let alone a political party, so naturally there was no way to talk about a fixed or loose political interest alliance group, not even an exchange of interests, because the time traveler had no salary, and the currency of the old time and space was useless at this time. Therefore, the current so-called alliance simply means that the other side supports each other's proposals without conflict of interest, and when the meeting is over, the alliance will end. However, the development of political activities is also from the primary to the advanced development, with the passage of time, through the group's administrative system, political system gradually improved, the old time and space of the political alliance, will also appear sooner or later.

Compared with other departments, the Ministry of Construction has a considerable advantage, because the Ministry of Construction has many projects in its hands, and in the foreseeable future, the Group has a large number of infrastructure projects, so the projects of the Ministry of Construction can be guaranteed. On the other hand, in the crossing group, in addition to the military, it is necessary to count the most engineering personnel, which can be regarded as the second largest force, and has a sufficient network base.

In addition to strict supervision, the shortcomings of the Ministry of Construction are that the engineering personnel have no advantage in the high-level, and now the minister of the Ministry of Construction, You Mingqian, is only an alternate member, and it is difficult to gain a foothold in political activities without the support of the high-level. In addition, because the Ministry of Construction is one of the few departments that has mastered a large number of projects, it is also easy to become the target of public criticism and be isolated by other departments.

In the face of competition from other departments, You Mingqian, minister of the Ministry of Construction, did not dare to be careless, and after discussing with the two vice ministers, Xu Dingsheng and Jiang Zhiyuan, it was decided that on the one hand, it was necessary to do a good job in relations with other departments, and absolutely not to be isolated by other departments. On the other hand, it is also necessary to actively pull all groups and individuals who can pull Long, and let them be engineering and technical personnel, which is the foundation of the Ministry of Construction.

This time, the Ministry of Construction is ready to propose to improve the treatment and status of engineering and technical personnel, which is for the sake of the vital interests of engineering and technical personnel.

Li Songchen and the Ministry of Agriculture are the objects of the Ministry of Construction. Because the main work of the Ministry of Agriculture is the construction of the new countryside, which is actually a large-scale project construction, the two sides have a considerable foundation for cooperation. In addition, although Li Songchen is not very old, and he is only an alternate member, he is a formal state official in the old time and space, and the official establishment of the State Council and Wang Yunpeng and Xu Jichao among the five permanent members of the Provisional Executive Committee should be regarded as the same group, and what the Ministry of Construction lacks most now is the support of the high-level, and a good personal relationship with Li Songchen may be able to open up a way to get in touch with the high-level.

It's just that during this period of time, Li Songchen has been living on the construction site, and he is in a hurry to go back to Tianjin, so the Ministry of Construction has never found an opportunity to contact Li Songchen, but he didn't expect to meet him in the bathhouse. Jiang Zhiyuan naturally couldn't let this opportunity slip away, so after a tentative conversation, Jiang Zhiyuan also began to intentionally reveal some of the contents of the Ministry of Construction's proposal to Li Songchen, wanting to see Li Songchen's reaction.

Although Li Songchen's age is not very old, and the work experience in the old time and space is not too much, after all, he is a person in the system, he usually has never eaten pork, he has always seen pigs running, and he is good at thinking, so he generally understands Jiang Zhiyuan's intentions.

At this time, Li Songchen's mind also began to turn rapidly, thinking about Jiang Zhiyuan's intentions or the Ministry of Construction, what are the interests of himself, first of all, to improve the treatment, status, and construction conditions of engineering personnel, which is consistent with his own proposal, and the Ministry of Construction is the first to put forward, of course, it is better, after all, from the perspective of direct relationship, engineering and technical personnel and the Ministry of Agriculture have nothing to do with it. The other requirements of the Ministry of Construction do not conflict with the Ministry of Agriculture, on the contrary, if the Ministry of Construction's terms of reference are expanded, there will be certain benefits to the Ministry of Agriculture.

In fact, the scope of the Ministry of Agriculture's authority is much larger than that of the old time and space, not only to manage agricultural production, but also to manage rural grassroots construction, land distribution, household registration, taxation, and so on.

On the other hand, Li Songchen also thought that in his proposal, there was still a considerable part of the content on rural grassroots construction, land distribution, household registration, taxation, and so on, and that these contents were likely to have some conflicts with other departments, for example, the rural grassroots construction was prone to contradictions with the Ministry of Personnel, and the taxation system was in conflict with the Ministry of Finance, but on the contrary, there was no conflict of interest with the Ministry of Construction. And with the support of the Ministry of Construction, the chances of his proposal being passed will be much greater.

Thinking of this, Li Songchen also made up his mind in his heart, so he nodded and said, "Minister Jiang is reasonable, I will fully support the proposal of the Ministry of Construction at the meeting." ”
