"Alas, the hot potato has been thrown into my hands." As soon as Fan Heng came home. said to Zhang Mei with some complaints.

Zhang Mei was training her little grandson to walk, and she was stunned when she heard this, "What's wrong?" ”

That is, after the New Year's reception, the high-level held a special seminar and decided that the State Council would start a new institutional reform work, and some ministries and commissions would be opened, and this work was handed over to Fan Heng.

Fan Heng felt a little surprised, but soon heard that Fan Wuxian had participated in the discussion of this topic at the New Year's reception, and also figured out his speech, obviously, although the high-level had no way to find out the true tendency of Fan Wuxi, they could arrange this work to Fan Heng's hands, anyway, he was also a member of the Standing Committee, and he was the executive vice premier, and it was reasonable to preside over this work.

"It's an offending thing, and it's suddenly handed over to me, it's very weird." Fan Heng said with a frown.

The fate of the reformers is basically not optimistic, Fan Heng directly thought of Boss Zhu, although he has done so many things, but there are many people who have offended. It is very touching that he has only served one term in his main post, and that he will retire as soon as the two sessions are held, and he will not even be able to get a chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress.

Does it mean that he has now been carried out as a sacrifice? Fan Heng couldn't be sure of this for a while.

When Fan Wuxian came back in the evening, Fan Heng called him to his house and discussed the matter.

"Well, that's a problem." Fan Wuxian scratched his head, and he didn't grasp the key for a while.

At the beginning of 1998, after the institutional reform of the State Council was launched, with the abolition and merger of some ministries and commissions, more than 10,000 non-establishment civil servants who had been diverted were sent to Tsinghua University, Peking University, Renmin University and other colleges and universities to participate in EMBA-related graduate and undergraduate courses in the form of state payment.

I did not expect that in five years, a new round of institutional reform of the State Council was on the way, and some ministries, commissions, bureaus and agencies would face mergers.

The difference is that a considerable amount of the cost of studying in their spare time is no longer paid by the state, but by the initiative of paying out of their own pockets.

"At the two sessions this year, the reform plan for the establishment of large ministries and commissions will be announced, and the pace of merging various ministries or creating new ministries will be accelerated. According to the recommendation of the research group on the reform of the administrative system of the University of Political Science and Law, at least one-third of the existing State Council should be merged. If these suggestions are adopted, it means that another group of ministry staff will face diversion. Fan Heng said to his son, "According to the practice of the State Council's institutional reform, the recent plan for the reform of the ministerial system will be gradually implemented during the two sessions after being discussed and approved by the plenary session of the National People's Congress." Now it's up to me to make up my mind. Come up with a final plan. ”

After hearing this, Fan Wuxi felt very dissatisfied, "Since there is already a belly case, then naturally someone should have been presiding over it, and at this time, it will be taken out for you to make a plan, wouldn't it mean to let you top the tank?" ”

"I can't say that, after all, I am doing this job, and when the old and new government teams change, it is natural that I, the executive vice premier, will have to take on more responsibilities." Although Fan Heng was a little puzzled by this, he didn't have much resistance.

As for his future career, he has been a member of the Standing Committee for two terms, so what is there not to be satisfied with? Coming to this point as an ordinary cadre of a state-owned enterprise, there really shouldn't be any other thoughts, and as for the next term, it really doesn't matter.

However, Fan Wuxi has a lot of complaints about this, and his news is also relatively well-informed, and after a little inquiry, he knows that there is a lot of discussion about this matter in the capital at present.

At present, there are two versions of the reform plan for the majority of the ministerial system that are circulating in Beijing, one is to establish a new mechanism for the restraint of decision-making, implementation, and supervision through the separation of ministries and commissions, and the other is to establish this mechanism within the ministries and commissions. But no matter which version. It is all rumored that the number of ministries and commissions as a whole will be reduced by about ten.

At a time when rumors are flying, officials below the director of ministries that are rumored to be about to be merged, or split are now extremely sensitive, and their every move is extremely cautious.

Generally speaking, at such times, it is necessary to talk less, do more things, do good things, and try to avoid making irritating remarks in public, so as not to spread them and have a bad impact, otherwise, it is very likely to become the fuse for stepping down tomorrow.

Due to the high call for the establishment of the Ministry of Energy in the new round of reform, the Energy Office under the National Development and Reform Commission has attracted much attention, which is upgraded from the former Energy Bureau of the National Development and Reform Commission, and the Energy Office has a comprehensive group, a strategic planning group, a policy group and other departments, and the group leader is called the director.

According to the analysis of industry insiders, if the Energy Office can be promoted to the Ministry of Energy, it will become an important department of the State Council, and can participate in the decision-making and implementation of major energy strategies.

The mentality of the staff of the departments that are rumored to be about to change significantly is similar, working actively and waiting for news, which is their almost unanimous statement when facing the media.

In fact, this is also understandable, if it is a merger of ministries and commissions, it will mainly reduce the position of minister, and the department level will have some impact, and the impact below the department level will not be too great, for example, if a large department is really established at the top. There will be no change in the work of the Executive Board, either in terms of specific content or anything. On the contrary, it is a good thing, because the implementation of the policy is smoother, so as not to rip off like it is now.

Even those unpopular ministries and commissions that are not so vocal in their dismantling and merger are also very low-key, and although the institutional reform of these ministries may be a few years late, not so soon, but everyone knows that it is only sooner or later.

"This time the intensity of institutional reform is very strong, I read their draft, the former State Planning Commission, the Commission for System Reform, the Economic and Trade Commission, the Price Bureau, the former State Council Special Economic Zone Office merged into the National Development and Reform Commission, the State Commission for the Reform of the State System began with 12 directors, plus the six directors of the State Council Special Zone Office, adding up to 18 directors, after becoming the Office of Structural Reform, there are only six divisions, the original six directors of the State Commission for the Reform of the System, and later merged into the National Development and Reform Commission when only two were retained, it can be seen that the dismantling and merger of departments involves the interests of all aspects, and the reform is not easy. It takes human sacrifice. Fan Heng said to Fan Wuxi.

"Well, that's for sure. Now there are a lot of officials studying in colleges and universities in the capital, and it seems that everyone is a little worried and taking precautions. Fan Wuxian nodded in agreement.

Generally speaking, under such circumstances, officials who have worked for 30 years can retire early, and other people who are not diverted from the establishment can go to prestigious colleges and universities for further study, and the tuition fees are paid by the state. You can re-enter the establishment and be appointed.

Of course, there are many people who have different choices, such as having a new place to go after further study, some go to industry associations, some go down to enterprises, and some go to public institutions, it depends on everyone's choice.

In 1998, during the institutional reform, more than 10,000 people were diverted from the organs of the State Council, and almost half of the staff was laid off. The General Office of the State Council forwarded the notice of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Education on the implementation plan for the study and training of diverted personnel in various departments of the State Council, stipulating that those who have graduated from high school or above can apply for admission, enter the school without examination, participate in targeted professional training organized by the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Education, and study for master's professional degrees, postgraduate courses, and postgraduate education. The training duration is two to two and a half years, and the training capacity is about 13,000 people.

At that time, Peking University, Renmin University, Tsinghua University and other schools organized targeted professional training and studied for bachelor's degree and master's degree. Among them, in the 1999 national master plan for the enrollment of master's and doctoral students, the state set up a separate plan for the diversion of personnel, and about 2,000 people have implemented schools and majors.

In addition, in accordance with the needs of the management and career development of their own departments and systems, various ministries and commissions have also provided various forms of training for the diverted personnel, such as undergraduate education, postgraduate education in majors other than those listed in the annex, and job and vocational skills, so that the quality of some civil servants has been improved.

This growing number of civil service trainees is also common in Tsinghua University's executive training programs, as well as in some EMBA programs at Peking University. The training classes for high-level personnel jointly organized by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and other departments and Tsinghua University are also full, and most of the trainees are officials and enterprise leaders from the central and local state-owned assets systems.

In fact, these students are not worried about the future way out, the reason is that the learning can be attacked and defended, if the department can stay after the merger, a high degree is conducive to the promotion and promotion of individuals in the change, if they are diverted, with EMBA such academic qualifications can also go to the enterprise, to the market to develop their ambitions.

"In fact, if you want to properly solve this matter, or what I said, you must first solve the problem of administrative approval." Fan Wuxian thought twice and suggested that his father Fan Heng start from this aspect.

In fact, the common people have long had a lot of opinions, can the government take care of it a little less?

The number of government ministries is large. Clearly not what the government wants. In fact, this demand is clearly expressed in the fact that the Government undertakes an institutional reform every few years.

There is no more reasonable explanation, and everyone can only see that there are too many things for the government to manage, and without the establishment of these departments, the government will not be able to manage it.

As a result, the following characteristics have emerged: a high degree of specialization, detailed division of labor, and many overlapping functions, thus diluting the government's public service functions.

Some ministries and commissions have concentrated too much decision-making power and combined with executive power, which not only reduces the efficiency of government administration, but also strengthens the interests of departments, and is easy to become one of the factors that produce mechanism.

Some scholars have long proposed that the correct order of the reform of the government system should first carry out a reform of the administrative management model, and the government should return power to the main body of the market and to society, and greatly reduce the unnecessary power exercised by the government.

After the government has adjusted its functions, the abolition, reorganization, and merger of ministries and commissions are a matter of course.

However, this logical sequential process has been difficult and slow, obstructed by sectoral, group and individual interests.

"One of the priorities of the central government is to reduce government intervention in the economy." Fan Wuxian said to his father Fan Heng, "For example, the cancellation of some administrative examination and approval projects of enterprises has smashed some rules and regulations under the planned economic system that should have been canceled a long time ago." ”

"If you do what you say, there will be more resistance." Fan Heng replied.

For example, many of the central government's proposals, such as strengthening environmental protection and expanding social services, have been difficult to implement due to conflicts between central and local departments, as well as conflicts between departments with different work priorities.

Although the current institutional reform has sharpened its knives, it is basically those cadres who are not hard in the background, and those officials who really have deep-rooted influence in the central ministries and commissions, and it can be said with great certainty that they will not be affected in any way.

But in any case, it's a job that offends people.

If you do what Fan Wuxian said, it will be the entire bureaucracy that will be offended, because Fan Wuxian wants to directly take away part of the power in their hands, which is intolerable to everyone, and it is far more difficult than offending a small number of people, so Fan Heng will react like this.

However, Fan Wuxi obviously had his own considerations about this, and he said to his father Fan Heng confidently, "The difference seems to be that it will offend more people, but it is still what I said, because there are more lice and do not bite, so you will not offend specific people." But I believe that this kind of change is the most needed in the country at present, and it is also the highest voice of the people, as long as you throw out this plan, there will immediately be countless grassroots people vigorously support, no matter what the result is, you already have a broad mass base and the so-called popular support. Of course, at present, this plan is expected to be delayed for various reasons, but you can stick to your own principles and do not do it unless you reform according to your own opinions. ”

After Fan Heng listened, he understood his son's intentions, he just wanted to use the method of pointing to the root of the problem, to advance and retreat, and put this offending matter on hold.

Since you all want to be good people, then I also have my own way, in a word, the crow falls on the back of the pig, and no one should be afraid of anyone.

Thinking of this, Fan Heng felt that he could give it a try, after all, the cumbersome repetition of administrative approval is indeed the most criticized disadvantage in the world, and he can put forward this plan confidently.

If you want me to preside over this work, then I have to exercise my power, and rightfully so.

There are no pop-ups
