Chapter 157: Entering the State (4)

Accustomed to the office of the provincial government, I gradually liked it here, in addition to the spacious and bright space, there is also the layout of the inside and outside, the office inside, the outside meeting guests, the functional division is clear, and it is also more comfortable.

Then there are the dense trees outside the window, from the window, the evergreen pines and cypresses are lush, poplars and willows are interspersed, and other tree species, as well as well-trimmed shrubs, making the building more like a park.

The provincial government compound is different from the compound composed of high-rise buildings and small buildings on the side of the provincial party committee, here is a more pure compound, several three-story buildings of blue bricks and red tiles, orderly hidden in the huge green, a wide and heavy four-storey red-roofed building is enclosed in the center, and a circular arch guard is formed between the annex building and the main building, which not only highlights the grandeur of the main building, but also shows its role.

Here used to be a park in the city of the Republic of China, was the provincial chairman at that time, built his own house, at the beginning there was only a square and heavy main building, occupying the center of the park, with hundreds of acres of green space and gardens, as well as the huge spring water gushing to form the lake, there are countless pavilions and pavilions, and then the main building gradually is not enough to live, on the ring building built a few annex buildings, there are corridors connected with the main building, some unnecessary pavilions and pavilions were demolished, and gradually formed a pattern of private gardens shared by residence and leisure.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was briefly the site of the provincial senior high school, according to the law of the school and the actual teaching situation, the corridor between the main annex building was demolished, and it became several independent teaching and teacher-student dormitories, with the increase in the number of teachers and students in the school, several three-story buildings were built around the building, but it still could not meet the needs of the school, so it had to move to a new location. Later, the provincial party committee and the provincial government were separated, after several twists and turns, it became the office location of the provincial government, the main building and the annex building were slightly repaired, which basically met the office needs of the main departments of the provincial government.

The main building is a typical Chinese building, the ground floor hall is very large, the staircase in the middle of the hall connects the upper and lower floors, and the second floor forms a cloister leading to the various rooms. The rooms are large, most of them are inside and outside, which seems comfortable and spacious. What is even more rare is that the whole building is completely wooden structure, with a traditional mortise and tenon mechanism, and there is no support except for a few thick columns.

It is this seemingly simple institution, which has withstood more than half a century of wind and rain without any damage, the structure is still solid, the wood is also intact, and although it has been repaired several times, the overall structure has not been changed in any way.

Qi Tianxiang's office is located on the east side of the second floor, near the corridor, and is a contiguous room, which must have been the owner's living room before, that is, there is a small suite outside the suite, which becomes a separate whole. During the renovation in the past few years, for the convenience of the provincial leaders, an elevator was installed at the end of the east and west corridors, so that Qi Tianxiang and other provincial leaders could not enter the hall on the first floor, and after getting off from the outside, they would directly enter the elevator room, and the elevator room would be directly facing the office door.

In this way, there are two elevators in the east and west, serving only a few offices on the second to fourth floors, as well as a few specific leaders. Other people do not need to take the elevator to go up and down, and they all have their own customary passages.

In addition to several governors and vice governors of the provincial government, there are also relevant departments of the General Office, as well as the secretary-general and deputy secretary-general, and the security and driver's duty room on the first floor, and there are not too many departments and personnel. At a time when office space is tight in all units, this command center of the provincial government has few people and is relaxed and comfortable.

Correspondingly, the annex building that surrounds the main building is crowded and abnormal, and the annex building that originally existed for the main building may be doomed to the location of the green leaves from the day it was established.

Due to the consideration of the overall function and effect of the garden, the annex building was originally built to strive for simplicity, neither the height of the main building, nor its thickness, the building materials used are also mainly civil engineering, so after several repairs, but it still looks simple and old.

After the provincial government enters the compound, it is carried out in accordance with the arrangement of all functional departments, constituent units and offices as a whole, the main building in addition to the general office, there are most of the internal institutions and offices of the provincial government, and the annex building is basically occupied by several departments and bureaus, so that the whole compound is complete and crowded, and there are thousands of cadres and workers who come and go to work in the compound every day, and it has become a veritable miscellaneous courtyard.

With the increase of personnel, especially after the expansion and vertical management of many bureaus and commissions, it has become an inevitable choice to leave the compound and find a new site, and the demonstration effect produced by the conditional bureaus and commissions moving out has made the unconditional bureaus and commissions follow suit, and soon the compound will be much deserted, and it has also improved the office conditions of the units that are still in the compound, the best of both worlds.

Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer units in the compound, and many of them are still units that work in the compound, and they also nominally have offices in the compound, but in fact there are other office spaces outside, and it is only convenient to stay in the compound, at best, they are some offices that rely on administrative funds, such as the Legislative Affairs Office, the Foreign Affairs Office, and the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office, as well as the Organ Affairs Bureau, the Foreign Propaganda Office, the Letters and Visits Office, the Research Center, the Information Center, and other units with two brands, making the compound a decision-making and information center in the pure sense.

As a result, although the compound is much deserted, it also protects the environment in a sense, so that the original park and green space can be better continued. There is no excessive flow of vehicles and people, the government affairs bureau has re-planned the compound, the big trees in the courtyard have been classified and maintained, so that these nearly 100-year-old trees have been revitalized, the lake formed by the spring gushing water has been dredged, and ornamental fish species such as koi fish have been raised, and most of the parking spaces have also been greened, planted with flowers and green plants, and the function of the park has been restored.

All this greening and environmental remediation revolve around the main building, that is, any window of the main building can see the lush green, as well as the flowering period that germinates from time to time, as well as the faint fragrance of flowers, which is pleasant and pleasing to the eye. In fact, the main purpose is to create an elegant and good environment for the provincial leaders working in the main building.
