After sending off Fan Tao and Zhang Weiguo, Qi Tianxiang slowly walked back to the sofa, picked up the list on the coffee table, slowly walked behind the desk, sat down and thought for a while, and then slowly opened the list and looked at it seriously from front to back.

The best of these peers became civil servants because of their outstandingness, not because they liked the identity of civil servants, they were not willing to engage in the work of civil servants, and they were not willing to serve the people with a high degree of consciousness, but they recognized the noble status and glory that this profession can bring, as well as the glory that can be expected in the future. In addition to the environment in which they exist, they are reluctant to know too much about the grassroots and the people, and are often accustomed to thinking from their own point of view, and injustice or injustice is also caused by this perspective.

This is the problem that Qi Tianxiang is most worried about, and it is also a bottleneck that is difficult to break through in the cadre selection system at this stage, whether it is a cadre dispatch or a hanging, it is from one organ to another, and there is still no change in essence, but the drawbacks of emphasizing academic qualifications over practice and emphasizing work experience over innovation and creation in the current system have always been difficult to eradicate. In addition, there is the inadequacy of the scope and method of selecting cadres; cadres in organs are selected by the organs, and the functional departments are based on the functional departments themselves, and over time a fixed mode of selection and promotion has been formed, and very few cadres can really be mobilized, and the direct result is the narrowing of the ability to adapt and the scope.

When discussing the work of public promotion with Fan Tao, it was based on the problem of cadre flow and breaking the industry, that is, through the city-wide cadre public promotion, so that the cadre selection was carried out at the city-wide level, and the use of cadres was also appointed in the city, in addition to the necessary technical positions and departments for professional matching, to maximize the comprehensive adaptability of young cadres, and to cultivate a group of cross-border cadres who can be suitable for various regional use.

Now it seems that the basic goal has been achieved, the list in front of us covers the whole city, and the scope of use will also cover the whole city, how many people can benefit from this, it may not be clear, but as long as the management method is in place, the supervision method is appropriate, the initial dedication can bring great changes, and it will also have a huge impact. This can be expected that a group of cadres under the special classified management of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, the establishment of a special supervision and assessment system, has the most direct and complete promotion system, and is used and appointed throughout the city, which itself has great temptation, as well as the prospect of promotion, although the conditions are harsh and the requirements are stricter, it will still attract people to participate enthusiastically.

At present, the situation is still relatively optimistic, the first round of recommendations and the second round of soliciting opinions, have received very good results, especially the active participation of veteran cadres and the CPPCC, based on response and support is also very high. In particular, the response to the action itself was very good, although Qi Tianxiang did not come forward to organize any activities, but just the mobilization at the cadre meeting, he could understand that all actions were implemented under Qi Tianxiang's planning and instructions.

To achieve such an effect, it will also achieve Qi Tianxiang's goal, he can't change the appointment and path of provincial management cadres, but he can arrange in advance for county and department-level leading cadres, especially the use and layout of bureau-level cadres, this is actually Lin Dongsheng's hint to him, for a period of time, such a secret contest continues, but Qi Tianxiang is skillfully carrying out his own layout, and constantly showing the trajectory of the design, so openly explaining his thoughts and ideas, quietly waiting for the arrival of the last moment.

Thinking of this, Qi Tianxiang withdrew his thoughts from the list, glanced at his watch, pressed the red button on the corner of the table, and waited for a while and said to Xiao Zhang, who heard the bell coming in: "Let's see if Mayor Lu is going to participate in the morning's activities, please come over before leaving." ”

Looking at Xiao Zhang nodding and agreeing to leave, Qi Tianxiang fell into contemplation again, not so much that this arrangement was for his own consideration, but more of a design for Lu Shanzun. After losing the position of mayor, the most likely arrangement is nothing more than two kinds, one is to leave Hezhou City, go to other cities in the province, and return to Hezhou City after the transition of one term as secretary of the municipal party committee, and the other way is to go to the municipal party committee, serve as deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, and wait for the transition. Both possibilities exist, but the latter is obviously more in line with reality and the original intention of the Central Party School's short-term training, and it is impossible for the provincial party committee not to take into account the actual results produced by this short-term training and the intentions of the Central Organization Department and the Central Party School.

The behavior of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee itself has a sense of temptation, and a higher degree of confrontation still does not dare to do it at will, so the subsequent arrangements still need to be considered as a whole to be made, just like Lin Dongsheng said, exchange and balance always exist, and it is difficult to ignore, you can compromise or tolerate it appropriately, but you must not give in indefinitely, after a way of maneuvering, it can only be a deeper balance, after all, the grasp of the general direction is still the secretary of the provincial party committee needs to consider, and his role will be more obvious. The so-called political wisdom is embodied in the process of maneuvering and exchange, through the constant transformation of advance and retreat.

"Thinking that you are busy, you may not be able to go over together, but I didn't expect you to arrange for Secretary Zhang to inform you, saying that you would go together." As soon as he entered the door, Lu Shanzun tore off his voice, and his magnetic baritone voice immediately echoed in the office.

"It's not good to estimate the time in the morning, so I didn't give you an agreed itinerary, I just looked at the time, and I thought I could communicate with you in advance, so I invited you over." Qi Tianxiang stood up, pointed to the chair in front of the table and motioned for Lu Shanzun to sit down, and said with a smile: "Just now, Lao Fan and Zhang Weiguo came over to talk about the selection of public cadres, thinking that they could barely finish the discussion before leaving, but I didn't expect Zhang Weiguo's efficiency to be quite high, you can look at the list first." ”

"This is a top-secret list! Let me see if it's appropriate? ”。 Lu Shanzun looked at Qi Tianxiang suspiciously, and when he saw Qi Tianxiang's slightly reproachful eyes, he immediately understood Qi Tianxiang's intentions, and said with a hearty smile: "Then I'll have a sneak peek." ”

Qi Tianxiang looked at Lu Shanzun gently, neither affirmation nor denial, the list itself is very illustrative, so there is no need to say too much, they all know each other, the more polite they are, the more false they are, and Qi Tianxiang is unwilling to reveal too many traces, which makes Lu Shanzun have too many other ideas. Even if he had plans to prepare for it in advance, he didn't want Lu Shanzun to have any idea of receiving favors. The simplest openness is the best expression of intent, and it is enough to do that.

"There is no problem with the age structure and knowledge structure, it can be said that it is a group of elite soldiers, and it should still be trustworthy and reassuring to be able to go from the primary selection to the present." Lu Shanzun quickly read the list, and when he handed it back to Qi Tianxiang, he said sincerely: "After a few months of hard work and such great efforts, Lao Fan and Wei Guo have indeed tried their best. ”

"As long as we can select a group of outstanding leading cadres who will start a business for the next three to five years, or for a longer period of time in Hezhou's political circles, it will be worth spending a lot of effort. Qi Tianxiang looked at Lu Shanzun and said with deep feeling: "If you can work hard to carry out such self-purification, Lao Fan's consciousness and realm are worth learning from, thank you well!" ”

"Yes! The major readjustment of dozens of cadres at the county and department level is undoubtedly a negation of the achievements and work of the organization in the past few years; of course, it may not be accurate to say that the negation is made, and it should be said that it is a revision, but no matter whether it is a denial or a correction, it is a challenge to the results of one's previous work, and this courage is very remarkable. Lu Shanzun glanced at Qi Tianxiang deeply, and seemed to be infected by Qi Tianxiang's emotions, and said sincerely: "Stabilize the existing cadre team, make good use of the selected cadres, and really give full play to the actual effect of making the best use of talents, and it is not in vain Lao Fan's efforts and sacrifices." ”

"That's what I came to you to discuss. There are two meanings, one is that you take a serious look at the list, and if you can't do it, you will let Xiao Zhang make a copy and you take it away, and with your understanding of the grassroots cadres, you will go through the sieve again. In this public recommendation, we have limited a principle, all cadres at or above the deputy municipal level have no qualifications for recommendation, but no qualification to recommend does not mean that there is no qualification for examination, let alone no qualification for intervention, and not engaging in small actions does not mean that there are no small actions, nor can they have no ideas. The second meaning is that it will take some time for this group of cadres to be inspected and actually taken up for work, and how to carry out some necessary training and training to improve their overall quality, especially the tempering of their moral character and character, can only be most convincing when they are well used. Qi Tianxiang looked at Lu Shanzun, thought about it and said, "You can't also engage in assault training!" Dozens of people have already been dispatched to Qinghe City, and this is more than 60 people, which is not easy. ”

"It's hard to say, it's easy to say." Lu Shanzun looked at Qi Tianxiang with solemn eyes, and said seriously: "The main goal is to educate the sense of purpose, or to improve and strengthen the idea of serving the people, in the final analysis, it is the quality of will, which can be sent to Political Commissar Zhang and his military subdivision, so that the melting pot of the military camp can forge their physique and will, and let these young cadres lose a few catties of flesh, take off a few layers of skin, adapt to the difficult living environment, and hone their temperament." ”

"This method is good, you can try it at the right time, the so-called forging is nothing more than the process of combining exercise and hammering, both to add fire and heating, but also to dip in water and quench, only in this way repeated several times of tempering, a good piece of steel can be baked. As long as it is good steel, the casting sword can cut through the iron, and the casting ploughshare can be cultivated and harvested, which is the quality of the comprehensive cadres we need. Qi Tianxiang seemed to be inspired by Lu Shanzun, and said happily: "In fact, there is no need for Political Commissar Zhang's military camp, Liu Feng's cadre training center is very good, I have been there once and had a good impression." Where do they have not only physical enhancement training, but also political and cultural courses and professional skills training, as long as we can replace some courses in criminal investigation skills with courses in urban management, agricultural science and technology, social security, medical and health care, and cultural education. Instructors can be experts and scholars, leaders at all levels, or themselves, so that they can go to the podium by themselves, learn from the professional knowledge they are familiar with, and also learn from other people's professional knowledge, and integrate and learn from each other, which is also a good way to learn. After a few months, I am still worried that there will be no qualitative changes in them. ”

"It's really a good idea, it's practical and easy to operate, and I think it can really be implemented." Lu Shanzun laughed and praised and said: "This model is really much better than taking dozens of days of cultural classes, you can try it, you can try it." ”

"Okay, let's let it go first, it's time to go." Qi Tianxiang stood up with a smile, pointed to the watch in his hand and said to Lu Shanzun: "Let's talk while walking on the road!" ”

As he spoke, Qi Tianxiang carefully put the list into the document bag, picked it up and walked out of the office with Lu Shanzun, until he got into his special car, and then said to Lu Shanzun seriously: "Don't have any worries, let alone look ahead and backward, this is not your old buddy's style of acting, whether you can inspect and use this batch of cadres well, and find out some experience for the reform of the cadre and personnel system, the work has a lot to do with it." ”

"I know what you mean, and I also know that you are paving the way for me, I don't understand that my old Lu is deliberately pretending to be confused, or really confused." After getting in the car, Lu Shanzun carefully found that Xiao Zhang took the initiative to close the sound insulation board between the front and rear rows, and was very impressed by Xiao Zhang's meticulousness, after listening to Qi Tianxiang's words, he said with heartfelt emotion: "Say something you don't necessarily like to hear, everything you do, I know it, the visit in Qinghe City, the exchange in front of Tan Pingshan's tomb, and the list you asked me to see just now, you have a clear design and intention, this love is good, whether it's grace or not, my old Lu Xin received it, and I was deeply moved." There is a sentence I can put here, I can't show up, it's okay to do something practical, when will I Lu Shanzun be a qualified warrior. ”

"Since you said that I don't necessarily like to listen, you must know that I don't like to listen, and since I don't like to listen, what's the good of it?" Qi Tianxiang smiled, patted Lu Shanzun's hand on the armrest emotionally, and said with emotion: "I say what you like to hear, all the reasons are very simple, we are comrades, we are comrades all the way, we are partners who are ready to do something, it is these ambitions, they are noble, but they are a little tragic." We are like the father of Kuafu day by day, the Jingwei of reclamation, maybe when we will die of exhaustion, it is not terrible to die on the road of chasing dreams, who is terrible who will relay our dreams, who will dig mountains with us like fools? This is a question that has always puzzled me in recent times, some people want to do things but have no chance, some people occupy positions but do not do things, or Hu officers, we can't subvert this status quo, let alone have the ability to reverse it, but can we make some changes, and try to find some colleagues? There are many people who are as persistent as us, even if someone dies on the road, are there still people who go forward and move forward one after another? No matter how far the goal is, will there be a day when it will go? ”

Qi Tianxiang looked at the excited Lu Shanzun, raised his hand and signaled him not to speak for the time being, but thought about it and continued: "To tell you the truth, I won't hide it from you, and it was unexpected to come to Hezhou City as a secretary." After coming, I didn't adapt to it for a long time, especially the transition from department leaders to local leaders, I always felt that things were complicated and disorderly, and many things seemed to be easy to solve, but I couldn't go on without my words and promotion, and I was in anxiety and irritability every day, I always felt powerless, and I always wanted to get angry, and I was always worried that one day I couldn't hold on and would collapse. I talked about this kind of uneasiness and anxiety with my old father-in-law, and I also talked about it with Secretary Lin, and they could comfort me by persuading me to be patient and be more coarse, or I could leave my post and go to the party school for a retreat and make adjustments. This is all from experience, but the environment we are in now is very different from that of their time, and the quality of cadres and the relationship between cadres and the masses are not optimistic, and it is not something that can be handled at ease! ”

"Moreover, in the past few years, as long as people who know me Qi Tianxiang, they all envy me for having a good father-in-law, who has pushed me to my current position step by step, and everything has been designed in advance. In addition, I also have a good teacher from the Central Party School, who not only appreciates me, but also is willing to be a ladder to help me get to the top, and there are all key figures of all sizes who are willing to contribute to my career. Qi Tianxiang looked at Lu Shanzun with serious eyes, and said sincerely: "Putting aside the true intentions of these rumors, from a positive perspective, whether it is my father-in-law, or teachers, or Secretary Lin, they spare no effort to recommend me and help me. What they can do, do we have to work hard to do, and we have to do better. ”

"You are very frank and affectionate, we already know this, a big brother of Tan Pingshan, you can take time to go and see it every year, sometimes you have to go several times a year, and it has never been interrupted for several years. An old white, you can faint from exhaustion, grieve a serious illness, and send money to his sister's family every year for several years, so that they can sweep the grave of Lao Bai on his behalf. Liu Jinsong's hand was burned, and you almost shed tears when you were sad, even if you treat a corrupt person like Tian Weiren, you can also pay attention to the details of his life and image. These are not your relatives, but you treat them like relatives, which is not only the art of leadership, but also the perfect embodiment of character and demeanor. Lu Shanzun said emotionally: "You treat me as a comrade, Lao Fan, Lao Fang, and many people as comrades, everyone is willing to follow you to do things together, suffer together, let's do it together, there will always be a satisfactory result." ”

Lu Shanzun spoke, and said with a smile: "Your troubles are sometimes self-inflicted, we are too civilized, too particular about gentleness and humility, in the current social ecology, such cultivation can only be secretly angry, and you should really learn from other people's old houses, call yourself a big boss, and scold when you open your mouth when you are not satisfied, sometimes it really works." ”

"Killing pigs, killing heads and butts, one person kills one method, and the methods that work for others may not be easy for us to use." Qi Tianxiang said with a smile, and then changed the topic and said: "The list will go back and let Xiao Zhang give you a copy, although it needs to be kept secret, but it is not kept secret from everyone, I am also going to let the old house take a look and let him also check it, after all, many people he still knows something." ”

"It's also said that he has been the mayor for so many years, and he has used thousands of cadres, many cadres have grown up under him, and this old guy is still very distinctive, he can use it if it is easy to use, and change it if it is not easy to use, which is very unsympathetic. He claims to be coarse, and his eyes are very poisonous, but he is not coarse at all, he understands! Lu Shanzun looked at Qi Tianxiang, and said with a smile: "But I'm afraid this old guy won't be able to take care of your personnel planning in the near future, he has something big to do." ”

"Environmental remediation, right? I've heard of it, it's a good thing! I'm going to cheer him on if necessary? Qi Tianxiang said with a smile: "To make city life better, it should be a real action, not just a superficial article, so that everyone in the city can feel the beauty of the city and feel the different changes every day." ”

"Cheering on the field is free! People won't let you participate because they are afraid that blood will splash the local area and dirty your clothes. Lu Shanzun looked at Qi Tianxiang and said meaningfully: "Actually, what you two are doing now is the same, the same thing, and the piano is harmonious. You retreat, grasp the reconstruction of social order, and grasp the change of social customs. He is pragmatic, pays attention to environmental rectification, and grasps order and standardization, all of which are the same. My old Lu is in the middle of the coordination, both sides of the flag and shouting, I will do the things of standing and cheering, I can still put on the battle at the critical moment, I dare not say that it is better than Changshan Zhao Zilong, who is like seven in and seven out of a million army, Zhang Yide, who shouted loudly in front of Changban Slope, can still learn from him. ”

"Hehe, listening to you say this, what am I still anxious about, I can naturally be at ease." Qi Tianxiang looked at Lu Shanzun with satisfaction, smiled and stroked his beard and sang loudly: "I was sitting in the city tower watching the mountain scenery, and suddenly I heard chaos outside the city ......"
