Chapter 20: Bole and the Horse

On the eve of the end of his temporary post, the leaders of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee had an interview, suggesting that Qi Tianxiang continue to stay in the post of Hehai Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and prepare to take over the post of secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and that he be notified to go to the Central Party School for pre-service training. [Ran^Text^Library] This also reminded Qi Tianxiang of the previous interview.

It was two years ago, Qi Tianxiang, who was then a professor, doctoral supervisor and vice president of the School of Administrative Law at the Capital University of Political Science and Law, entered the Central Party School for the first time, but the conversation at this time was to inform him to go to the Hehai Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection for temporary training.

Previously, the father-in-law who served as the governor of Hohai Province had clearly expressed to the provincial party committee that he hoped to stay in Hohai after retirement, not to serve in the National People's Congress or the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and also hoped that his youngest daughter and son-in-law could come to Hohai to work.

But now, the organization department could not refuse the conversation, so he had to agree and take up the post of director of the research office of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection after graduation, until two years later, he entered the party school again for further study.

Before reporting to the Hehai Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, Qi Tianxiang and his wife Yan Li went home to see their father-in-law, although there have been many interactions with his father-in-law over the years, but this kind of interaction is very different.

The father-in-law is obviously much older, perhaps because he is about to retire, and the old man is much less reserved and steady, and more of his father's warmth.

I think that the encounter between my father-in-law and Qi Tianxiang really had some elements of chance, a graduate student of the School of Political Science and Law, and a vice governor of a strong province in the Central Plains, because of a legal issue that now seems insignificant, in fact, it is the nature and legal issue of urban management.

It was a forum organized by the Urban Society, and the central topic was the contradiction between the modernization of urban management and social development.

As the vice governor of a major economic province, he is the guest speaker, and Qi Tianxiang, who is sitting under the podium, is just a master's student at the Capital University of Political Science and Law. However, in Yan Bonian's speech, Qi Tianxiang felt more and more that there were deficiencies and problems in government management and system design, especially the management and supervision after the centralization of law enforcement powers, as well as the management and legal problems of a large management team. In the free questioning stage, Qi Tianxiang took the lead in asking questions and threw out his questions one by one, mainly including the following points: first, the relatively centralized law enforcement power is only a part of the urban management of many functional departments, does this mean that the functional departments have stripped away some functions that have no actual interests and rights, and in the intersection of key management and functions, there will be a phenomenon of multiple law enforcement and law enforcement fights; Second, the acquisition of law enforcement authority must be authorized by national law, urban management law enforcement departments are only individual local and provincial departments, most of them are not under management, some are managed by local government offices, some are under the management of urban construction, and some are simply managed by the government legislative affairs office, this chaotic management model is bound to produce short-term and short-term success, and it is easy to breed the problem that it is difficult to manage and protect its own shortcomings; Third, since the establishment of the urban management law enforcement team, the names are varied, there are urban management law enforcement bureaus, there are urban management comprehensive law enforcement bureaus, there are urban comprehensive management law enforcement bureaus, it can be seen that the ideas and intentions of various places are different, relative law enforcement and centralized law enforcement authority is extremely unclear, so how to characterize after long-term development is also a problem; Fourth, at the beginning of the establishment of the city management law enforcement agency, the tasks faced by the complex health, order, traffic, reason, noise, dust, and so on are related to the city are managed, but relatively speaking, it is also relatively easy to manage, such as the problem of graffiti, the problem of different specifications of the façade plaque, which is relatively simple to deal with, as long as the management can be solved, but the ensuing problem of occupying the road, urban demolition and maintenance, market management problems, these need to be based on the law, and all need rigid law enforcement and compulsory measures, None of these, that is, there is no supervision and management law that regulates urban management law enforcement, and there is no legal basis to support its law enforcement.

The result was that the vice governor tried his best to explain, but the governor could not explain the problems that could not be bypassed, and in the words of the governor, many issues were also discussed, but the contradictions seemed to be irreconcilable, and the governor could only give serious advice after running out of words: "Young man, you have not worked at the grassroots level, and you do not know the ways and methods of grassroots work and the specific problems, and many things cannot be achieved from a theoretical point of view." But despite the governor's simplistic and perfunctory attitude towards young scholars, he actually appreciated this pragmatic attitude and sincere young people.

Qi Tianxiang was still very conflicted about the suggestion that the old man should abandon school and enter politics many years later, so he also specifically solicited his opinion when Tan Pingshan went to Beijing for a meeting.

Because of his lifelong friendship with Yan Yong, Tan Pingshan also has a family relationship with this family that focuses on blood relationship, and every time he goes back to Beijing, whether he is passing by or doing errands, he does not forget to go to his home to have a look, and every time he can take something that surprises Yan Li, and Yan Li's feelings for his brother are very deep, and some intimate tones and actions make him jealous.

For Qi Tianxiang to abandon school and enter politics, the elder brother disagreed, but because of the old man's face, it is difficult to say, in his opinion, to be able to do a good job seriously, in a certain field can be done, and it is not necessary to be in politics, and it is not in politics to reflect its own value, so it is also very contradictory, can only be honest: "To be honest, I don't agree with the old man's arrangement, some achievements do not necessarily have to be reflected in the career, and learning and excellence are no longer the value orientation of the current society, but from another point of view, I fully understand the old man's suffering. Why didn't the old man propose to let you enter politics sooner or later, when you and Xiaoli first got married, or when the old man was the governor, how many opportunities could you enter politics, and could give you better shelter, but you didn't do it, why? Isn't the old man's own restraint at work? Tan Pingshan sighed deeply and said emotionally: "The old man is old and is going to retire, of course I hope you can be by his side, and the life of retreating to the second line is also lonely!" So this kind of consideration is also human nature, as for you to take care of the old man's life, do you believe it yourself? Don't say that there is an old lady here, and there is a nanny arranged by the organization, your house is bright, and the old man must hold it every day and respect it. The old man's move also has the meaning of paving the way for you, you are floating outside, and the old man is still not at ease. Although Tianxiang is already the vice president, and Xiaoli's deputy secretary of the Youth League Committee has been working for a few years, there is still some future, but there is no one in your court, who will push it up? Within five or six years of coming to the province, Tianxiang will be able to get a vice province, you Xiaoli is still doing her old job, and after a few years, the main hall will not have to run. As for the nepotism you are worried about, that's what you are worried about, you are talents, Tianxiang is now a well-known expert in the field of administrative science in the country, how many people in the country can go to the party school to teach administrative law to the provincial and ministerial level, what is not a talent? The old man got you back is the introduction of talents, is to give full play to the residual heat of the righteous move, is to take a step back and say, in the past, Leyang can still move internally without avoiding relatives and outsiders, and after so many years of evolution, can't it catch up with the feudal scholars of the past? Taking a step back, what is the suspicion of nepotism, the old man has been doing it all his life, he has not done anything sorry for the party and the organization, his sleeves are clean, he has never stretched out his hand to the party, and it is not too much to ask for such a little bit of resignation, I don't think it is too much. Therefore, I would advise you to think carefully, there are not many such opportunities, and there may not be any more in the future.

With the advice of Tan Pingshan, the big brother, Qi Tianxiang made up his mind completely
