Chapter 821: I Have My Backhand
Shen Huai and Chen Baoqi played Tai Chi, Guo Chengze was happy to watch a good show, but he participated in today's conversation, he had his intentions, watching Chen Baoqi and Qi Jingyao their intentions push Shen Huai clean, and when the atmosphere was a little dull, the timing was just right to insert the topic:
"Now that you are the first, second and third leaders in Xiapu County, there is a problem, I want to talk to you in advance. ”
"Mayor Guo said this, I'm really afraid," Shen Huai smiled, "What's wrong with Xiapu, can Mayor Guo speak softly when he criticizes?"
After Shen Huai was not as sharp as before, Guo Chengze didn't think it was a good thing, he needed to have a headache for Shen Huai's slippery now, but there were some things that he still had to say hard:
"In Jiangyan and other counties, there are few decent enterprises, and the local government is in financial difficulties. Jiang Zhijun from Jiangyan, every time he goes to the city, he cries poor, and I also have a headache, and I want to hide when I see him. It is necessary to consider the current difficult situation in Jiangyan, but the municipal finance is so large, and the lack of money is far more than one in Jiangyan, and it is a matter that cannot be delayed.
This time, five members of the Meigang Department were newly elected as members of the municipal party committee, accounting for half of the newly elected members of the municipal party committee, and it was not without a price.
The co-optation of Li Feng, He Qingshe, and Huang Xinliang as members of the municipal party committee is related to the previous split-off of Meikai, the establishment of the Huaihai Rongtou Group, the support for the establishment of the district land reserve center, and the promotion of the construction of the land reserve system in the city; Xiao Haomin's election as a member of the municipal party committee is closely related to his appointment as executive deputy county magistrate and the promotion of the development of the tourism industry in Yuanshan, and there is also an important condition, that is, Shen Huai agrees to promote the construction of the city-level financial system.
Around '94, the country implemented the tax-sharing system, and because Huaihai Province was a backward province and city at that time, the provincial and municipal finances were able to receive a relatively large proportion of the central transfer payment; in '97, that is, last year, the central transfer payment accounted for more than half of the provincial fiscal expenditure. Therefore, when the local government carries out further tax distribution, the value-added tax, enterprise income tax, and business tax shared by the local government are all owned by the district and county level to a relatively large extent.
As a result, after the sharp increase in the total scale of finance and taxation in Meixi New Area and Xinpu Port, the money collected will either be directly handed over to the central treasury or retained in the districts and counties, and the proportion of direct income shared by the municipal finance from the rapid growth of these two places is very low.
The so-called construction of the city-level financial system is actually to readjust the distribution ratio of value-added tax, enterprise income tax, and business tax shared by the local government among districts, counties, prefectures, and cities.
For the districts and counties that are backward in economic development, although the proportion of the payment has increased, after the large-scale increase in the city-level finance, the amount of money drawn from the city-level finance will increase even more substantially, so they support this work; the only disadvantage is Tangzha District and Xiapu County.
Last year, that is, in '97, in addition to the taxes handed over to the state treasury, Xiapu County's fiscal and tax revenues attributable to the local government reached 1 billion yuan, of which only 10 percent was handed over to the city-level treasury, and the rest was used for local construction and people's livelihood expenditures in Xiapu County.
This also makes Donghua develop extremely fast in recent years, but the scale of municipal financial growth is limited, which makes the ability of the municipal party committee and municipal government to lead the construction of key projects seriously insufficient.
Although the building of the domestic fiscal and taxation system as a whole is still developing in the direction of centralization, at the same time, the central authorities are inclined to strengthen the competitiveness of the county economy; in terms of administrative structure, the counties are only entrusted to the prefectures and cities. As a result, under the existing policy, prefectures and cities can collect the financial rights of the districts under the city, but it is difficult to collect the financial rights of the subordinate counties.
In the next three to five years, the main place of Donghua's fiscal and tax growth is still in Xiapu.
If Shen Huai does not let go, Guo Chengze's goal of increasing the scale of municipal finances by more than 2 billion yuan within two years will be difficult to accomplish and will become an empty word.
Now Hu Lin and Chen Baoqi sent Qi Jingyao to Xiapu to take up a post, obviously occupying a place, if Shen Huai has always let Xiapu County intercept such a large financial scale for his own use, it will only cheapen others in the end - therefore, Guo Chengze chose Chen Baoqi to send Qi Jingyao to Xiapu to take up a post, and supported Shen Huai in other aspects, all of which were deeply considered by him.
Guo Chengze's most direct intention is to hope that Shen Huai can jointly promote and strengthen the city-level financial construction; after all, in the future, the Meigang system will have to participate more in the checks and balances and sharing of power at the municipal level in Donghua, and will not be limited to the district and county level.
Of course, Shen Huai also promised to promote the construction of the municipal financial system, but Shen Huai will not easily let go of how much to increase the proportion of fiscal and tax payments, how to increase it, and when to increase it - this is exactly where Guo Chengze is anxious.
The meeting of the whole committee has not yet ended, Guo Chengze can't wait to mention this matter, Shen Huai is naturally not so kind, and said to Guo Chengze: "Xiapu has been studying relevant policies, if there is a unified deployment in the province, it will not be so difficult." ”
If you don't mention this, Guo Chengze is still frustrated.
The distribution of finance and taxation among governments at all levels has always been a focal point of contradiction at the local level.
The city wants districts and counties to concentrate financial power, but why doesn't the province want to concentrate local finance and taxes to the province on a larger scale, and then distribute them by the province?
At present, some people in the province have even proposed to carry out pilot projects in directly managed counties, and the ones that are targeted are Xiapu and other economically strong counties.
At present, the provincial fiscal expenditure is only 78 billion yuan a year, if Xiapu is really made into a pilot county directly under the provincial administration, Donghua City is put aside, and the provincial and county governments directly share the fiscal and tax benefits brought about by the rapid growth of Xinpu Port, the disposable scale of the provincial finance may be able to increase by as much as one billion yuan at once.
When it comes to finance and taxation, the contradictions between factions, localities, and party and government are very complicated, so even if Xiapu County is at the bottom of the three-level administrative system of provinces, cities and counties, it still has a great right to speak.
If Shen Huai is annoyed, he will put aside Donghua City, use the power of the Song family behind him, and then cater to the interests and wishes of some people in the province to promote the pilot work of "provincial direct management".
Similarly, there is strong opposition at the local level, and the province will not easily promote the "provincial direct management" pilot work, and even if it does, it will be difficult to directly put the target on the head of Xiapu - in that case, the intention is too obvious and the appearance is too ugly.
Guo Chengze was more anxious about promoting the construction of the city-level financial system, but Chen Baoqi's position was the same as his.
Only when the scale of municipal finance has increased substantially, the municipal party committee, or Chen Baoqi, will have a greater voice and leading ability in major projects. Unlike now, for projects like the expansion of the Jinghai Highway, he, as the dignified secretary of the municipal party committee, can't say anything, let alone let the affiliated enterprises undertake the project.
In ninety-seven years, Donghua City was responsible for the direct investment and finance-related infrastructure investment of up to 6 billion, while Meigang only the Xinpu Development Group last year made a solid infrastructure investment of 2 billion, compared with the municipal financial investment and the part of the Municipal Port Investment Group, only 6 or 700 million - from this point of view, who is the economic person in charge of Donghua in the real sense?
Seeing that Shen Huai did not let go, Chen Baoqi also had to consider working with Guo Chengze to put pressure on him: "In recent years, Tangzha and Xiapu have developed very rapidly, which has the credit of the hard work and hard work of the party members and cadres in the two places, but it is also closely related to the location advantages of the two places. The city still has to pay attention to balance, and it cannot be said that Tangzha and Xiapu have developed, regardless of Jiangyan, which is a backward district and county that is geographically biased. Last year, the salaries of teachers and staff in Xiapu County were greatly adjusted, which is a good thing in Xiapu, but the city is also under great pressure. Some balances are imminent, and we can't wait for teachers in other districts and counties to make adjustments after besieging the county government and the city government, right? In building socialism, we still have to take the road of common prosperity, and this is our fundamental policy, and we cannot ......change it."
In the face of Guo Chengze and Chen Baoqi's coaxing and intimidation, Shen Huai just smiled in his heart and said: "Secretary Chen is right to say that the problem of unbalanced regional development is a very prominent contradiction in China. Secretary Tian Jiageng's transfer to eastern Sichuan to serve as secretary of the provincial party committee is also aimed at strengthening the development of the central and western regions at the central level. What the city decides, I support it......"
Guo Chengze and Chen Baoqi looked at each other, Yu Chengzhen sat on the side and said nothing, secretly feeling that Shen Huai had eaten too much about the policy.
Donghua City is not a large city in China, and does not have the power to formulate and promulgate fiscal and taxation policies independently.
Now I want to make a special case in Xiapu County, but Xiapu County does not take the initiative to cooperate, and the city wants to leave Xiapu behind, so it has to go to the province to seek special case support.
Now Shen Huai is saying that he is supportive on the surface, but behind his back, he may be able to make some troubled waters, and the situation may become very complicated, and if he delays this matter a little, he will not be able to see any eyebrows for two or three years; this is not in line with their desire to urgently change the financial situation at the municipal level.
In this matter, Qi Jingyao and Pan Zhiqiang had no right to speak, so they could only watch Shen Huai like a stone in a pit, and Guo Chengze and Chen Baoqi couldn't bite a bite together.
Seeing that the atmosphere was depressed, Shen Huai moved his body, changed his posture and crossed Erlang's legs, and said: "Several of our county party secretaries are also discussing this issue below, under the existing fiscal and taxation policies, how to better carry out regional balance. As Mayor Guo just said, Secretary Jiang of Jiangyan met me at the venue in the morning, and he cried as soon as he saw him, saying that Xiapu was developing better and that he should pull them along. Now listening to Secretary Chen and Mayor Guo say these words, I asked me to seriously think about the jokes with Secretary Jiang in the morning, thinking that under the current fiscal and taxation policies, there is no way to lose, and Xiapu County is also willing to take more responsibility. Of course, this matter also needs the support of the city. ”
Chen Baoqi almost crooked his nose, at first glance Shen Huai's suggestion was very reasonable, but it was completely different from what he and Guo Chengze said.
He and Guo Chengze hoped to increase the proportion of Xiapu County's fiscal and tax contributions, and then the city would strengthen financial appropriations to Jiangyan and other backward districts and counties, so that the city's power in collecting and collecting taxes and controlling its finances would be greatly increased at the same time; while Shen Huai meant that Xiapu County would directly provide financial support to Jiangyan and other backward counties, and that there would be nothing to do in the city.
Chen Baoqi originally thought that transferring Gu Jinzhang to Jiangyan would be a blow to the Meigang department, but he didn't expect Shen Huai to have such a backhand waiting for them.
Shen Huai smiled and waited for Chen Baoqi and Guo Chengze to respond, and sneered in his heart: You transfer Gu Jinzhang to Jiangyan, okay, I will transfer some financial resources to support Gu Jinzhang to Jiangyan for construction now, can you refuse?
