The negotiations between Secretary Yue Shan and Comrade Hong Zheng were not very smooth. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info╔╗

Although Secretary Yue Shan laid out all the information he had learned and fought the basis of reason, Comrade Hong Zheng refused to let go, and the conditions were not significantly relaxed, which made Secretary Yue Shan feel a lot of pressure.

"Vice President Hong, although the tax reform is currently in the trial stage, our Hedong Province has already reflected many bad signs." Secretary Yue Shan said to Comrade Hong Zheng, "The financial pressure is too great, and the salaries of the financial support personnel are about to be released, such as medical and health, education and zhèngfu staff, etc., these people are net inputs, and they can't be expected to come out and make their own money, right?" It can hold on in a short period of time, but if it does so in the long run, the local finances will go bankrupt! ”

What he said was not alarmist, but a relatively accurate conclusion only after listening to Ye Kai's words and comprehensively analyzing the actual situation.

In the past, when the central government had a small amount of revenue and the local government had a lot of revenue, but now a reform of the tax-sharing system has been carried out, and this situation has suddenly been reversed, and the central government has more revenue and less local government revenue.

However, in this way, the local government could have done a lot of things, but now because of financial constraints, there is no way to do it, and the central government has a lot of extra money in hand, and it doesn't even know how to get there. ╔╗

The direct consequence of such a change is that the central government's financial resources have risen sharply, and it has the ability to do many large projects and some long-term investment projects, but the disadvantage is that the local economy has been greatly affected, and the most important thing is reflected in some key construction projects in the local government.

These local construction projects. Immediately, it fell into a financial bottleneck and could not be promoted.

It's like Hedong Province is planning to start a highway construction project, and at this time, zhèngfu is not guaranteed to invest in this piece.

Although Ye Kai promised to be responsible for all financial issues, he was the secretary of the provincial party committee. Secretary Yue Shan also has an idea in his heart, can't he borrow money to build the entire road, right? At that time, how much voice can the province have on this road? Although things can be resolved through negotiation in advance, it is better to talk about things like equity ratio, income dividends, and even whether the expressway can be listed for operation in the future.

But in the final analysis, I don't have a project with huā money, and I always feel that I will have some lack of confidence. ╔╗

"Comrade Yue Shan. This matter cannot be changed, the central authorities are very determined, and the idea of playing a game of chess for the whole country will not change, and it will not be retreated because of temporary difficulties. Comrade Hong Zheng's answer was also very persistent. You are also a cadre of the central authorities who have gone out, and if you are able to understand the purpose of the reform of the tax-sharing system, in the short term, there will certainly be some difficulties in the localities that are not adapting to it, and will encounter some difficulties. However, as long as the general direction is well controlled, and the source of income and expenditure is reduced, there will always be a way to deal with the past. Besides, the reform of the tax-sharing system. It is only a change in the distribution relationship between the central and local finances, and the total economic output will not be affected. The money is just distributed in different forms. It will not have a big impact on the local economy. ”

Comrade Hong Zheng was very determined to promote the reform of the tax-sharing system, and Secretary Yue Shan argued with him for a long time, but did not achieve satisfactory results, so he had to return to the provincial office in Beijing in a sullen manner.

At this time, it was already late, and it was dinner time again.

"Hey, why are there crabs?" After Secretary Yue Shan went to the restaurant, he was surprised to find this problem.

"It was sent by Comrade Ye Kai, it's quite a fresh crab." The staff next to him replied.

"Oh, this guy is big, it doesn't matter how many crabs he eats. ╔╗" Secretary Yue Shan listened to it, and nodded and said.

Guan He, the secretary next to Secretary Yue Shan, heard this, so he found a plate and loaded a few crabs over.

Secretary Yue Shan didn't say any nonsense, grabbed a crab and began to uncover the shell with tongs, ate it by himself, and after eating three in a row, he said to Guan He a little depressedly, "Today's things are not going well." ”

Guan He looked at Secretary Yue Shan carefully, and naturally knew what he was going to see Prime Minister Hongzheng for today.

Generally speaking, Comrade Hong Zheng and Secretary Yue Shan are both the kind of people who have a relatively tough style and are also strong, and these two people sit together and argue about the reform of the tax system, which is obviously a battle of words and swords, but Secretary Yue Shan argues on the basis of reason, and the plan for raising the proportion of central tax revenue that Comrade Hong Zheng adheres to cannot be changed because of his remarks, and the reform of the tax-sharing system cannot be stopped.

"But it's not all for nothing." Comrade Yue Shan wiped his mouth with a tissue and said to Guan He, "I asked for 400 million yuan from Comrade Hong Zheng, which is always better than nothing if it is a project fund to support the construction of the expressway." ”

"This is a good thing, you can get so much money from Comrade Hong Zheng, Secretary Yue, you are the first!" When Guan He heard this, he immediately became happy, "Secretary Yue, are you going to have two drinks tonight?" ”

"Well, one glass will do. ╔╗" Secretary Yue Shan thought about it and agreed.

Guan He was a little excited, and ran over to get a bottle of Lao Baifen.

Although the price is much lower than that of Moutai and the like, it is just a hometown wine, and the quality is also excellent, so Secretary Yueshan also likes to drink it.

said that it was a cup, but it seemed that Guan He poured him more than one or two.

In fact, Secretary Yue Shan knew very well in his heart that as a matter that had basically been decided, the tax reform could not be stopped, otherwise, Comrade Hong Zheng would not have negotiated with the provincial governors one by one.

He went over this time, just to use this incident as a bargaining chip to give the province some benefits.

Probably because the previous preparations were relatively sufficient, and some of Ye Kai's views were absorbed, so this time when Secretary Yue Shan and Comrade Hong Zheng debated, there was a faint feeling of having the upper hand, and finally Comrade Hong Zheng had to admit that Secretary Yue Shan's words still raised some key issues, which need to be weighed and considered. ╔╗

It is estimated that it is also for this reason that Comrade Hong Zheng agreed to Secretary Yueshan's request and deliberately squeezed out 400 million yuan to Hedong Province as a special fund for the highway construction project.

"The work of the Beijing Office should be strengthened." Secretary Yue Shan drank a little wine, and suddenly said such a sentence.

Guan He also accompanied Secretary Yue Shan to drink a little, and when he heard his words, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then began to ponder the meaning of this.

From the very beginning, the main functions of the Beijing Office were to collect information, run projects, and conduct receptions for local governments.

For example, during the tax reform, the director of the Beijing office of a prefecture and city heard that the expenditure targets of various localities should be based on the previous year, so he immediately reported to the mayor, and the city quickly made a decision, and at the end of the year, he lost a large amount of money, which raised the local expenditure target for the previous year.

As a result, after the tax reform in the second year, the local government was able to obtain sufficient funds for expenditure in accordance with the policy.

Running projects is also the biggest task of the Beijing Office, and the most important thing is to understand the plans and directions of the projects approved by various ministries, commissions, bureaus and offices every year.

There are only a few people in the central ministries and commissions, and of course, whichever one reports adequately, the project and funds will be approved to whichever one.

Some functional departments have a large number of projects and funds in their hands, but they cannot conduct inspections all over the country, where they need to go to the project, completely rely on the local zhèngfu report, and the standard of approving the project is not measured, if you are too honest, do not call, do not make noise, so it is difficult to get the project.

Therefore, the Beijing Office is also very important in this regard, and after hearing the news, the local government will hear the news and strive for projects and funds.

Therefore, after Secretary Yue Shan felt the pressure brought about by the tax reform, the first thing he thought of was that the strength of the Beijing Office should be strengthened, and the personnel should be equipped with bright and capable people, and the funds should also be given priority.

In fact, Secretary Yue Shan's decision is not wrong, after the reform of the tax-sharing system, the central government has more money in hand, so the phenomenon of running the department to make money is more serious.

There are two reasons why the local government wants to run the ministry: first, there is money in the ministry; Second, the money must be obtained by "running".

Due to historical reasons, many ministries and commissions have been relatively coarse in the management of budget funds, and have not listed specific projects.

Whoever runs more and knows more about the situation of the ministry and commission, may get more allocations, and there is a big random xing.

There are also some ministries and commissions, and individual decisions are made to decide on the investment of some major projects.

In other words, certain departments of the central government have a large amount of financial transfer funds, but there is a lack of strict procedural norms for who can get these funds, the process of approving funds lacks standardization and transparency, and the officials in charge enjoy considerable discretion.

Isn't there often the word "in principle" in the document, that is, there are other unprincipled ways to go, and the one who knows the most about the unprincipled way is the one who makes the provisions.

In principle, it means the absence of principles, and this is the subtlety of the Chinese language.

Because fiscal transfers are free, theoretically speaking, the demand is close to unlimited, because everyone needs money, but the supply is limited, because the central government has so much money in total, so the local government has to compete fiercely for this, and it can even be described as unscrupulous.

This kind of deformed competition is called power rent-seeking in economics.

Running is a foot next to the word, there is a bag next to it, you have to take the bag to run, this bag can't be empty, this is how the soil and hotbed for breeding ** are generated.

"Do you think there are any good candidates to recommend?" Secretary Yue Shan asked Guan Hedao.

"Candidates?" After Guan He listened, of course he knew that Secretary Yue Shan was asking about the candidate for the director of the Beijing Office, but he didn't know how, the first person he thought of was Ye Kai.
