Chapter 060 The First Standing Committee of the New Team

Shiyuan, March 27, 2008, Jinning, Jiangdong, Provincial Party Committee Compound, Standing Committee Building, Conference Room No. 3.

The new Jiangdong Provincial Party Committee gathered here, which was the first meeting of the Standing Committee of the Jiangdong Provincial Party Committee after the completion of the general election. The leaders of Jiangdong Province who attended the meeting were:

Xiao Chen, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Director of the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Congress and Secretary of the Party Leadership Group, and First Secretary of the Party Committee of the Provincial Military Region;

Wang Mingcheng, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Governor and Secretary of the Party Leadership Group of the Provincial People's Political Government;

Yang Yaomin, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee;

Zheng Mingjun, Member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Executive Vice Governor;

Chen Shuguang, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection;

Chen Wei, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Minister of Organization of the Provincial Party Committee;

Jiang Songhu, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Committee;

Li Yawei, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Minister of Propaganda of the Provincial Party Committee;

Gu Laishan, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and commander of the Provincial Military Region;

Zhao Jiemin, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Liangxi Municipal Party Committee;

Wang Wenyuan, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Wucheng Municipal Party Committee;

Li Yang, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee.

In addition, Dong Jian, Yu Peiwen, Li Pingchuan, Hu Yunshan, Wang Mingna, and Tang Xushan, vice governors of the Provincial People's Political Government, and Li Yunxin, He Fentian, Shen Zhiting, and Yue Qinglan, deputy secretaries of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, were also invited to attend the meeting as observers.

Wang Wenyuan, who had only been secretary of the Pengcheng Municipal Party Committee for just over a year, was transferred back to Wucheng again and promoted to the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee due to the promotion of Chen Wei, secretary of the Wucheng Municipal Party Committee, to director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, and at the same time resigned from the post of vice governor.

In fact, this is a typical officialdom chain transfer: Deputy Secretary Wang Mingcheng took over the vacated position of governor from Xiao Chen, and the deputy secretary of the party and the masses of the provincial party committee was vacant, and this time Yang Yaomin, who had the most suitable qualifications, took over almost no one was surprised. As a result, the position of head of the organization was vacated. After communication between Secretary Xiao Chen and the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee agreed with the opinion of the Jiangdong Provincial Party Committee, and Chen Weibō, former secretary of the Wucheng City Party Committee, took over as head of the Organization Department, and Wang Wenyuan, secretary of the Wucheng City CPC Committee, who had served as the mayor of Wucheng City and secretary of the Pengcheng City CPC Committee.

But this time there was a little unexpected adjustment here: Xiao Chen originally planned to let Chen De, deputy secretary of the Pengcheng Municipal Party Committee, take over as secretary of the Pengcheng Municipal Party Committee, but at this time in Jiangdong, the imprint of "Secretary Yuan Zhuo" is still relatively deep after all, after exchanging opinions with Comrade Yuan Zhuo on the phone, Xiao Chen finally chose to let Lin Sen be promoted to secretary of the municipal party committee, and Chen De followed the step by step and became the mayor of Pengcheng.

In addition to the adjustment of provincial leaders, there are also some adjustments of important department-level cadres, such as Huang Ting, former member of the Standing Committee of the Wucheng City CPC Committee and secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, who was appointed director of the provincial public security department.

According to the outside world, the "Wucheng style" of the Jiangdong Provincial Party Committee is very strong.

According to some sī in the system, the characteristics of this provincial party committee team are that Secretary Xiao is the provincial party committee.

According to the evaluation of Xiao Chen by Hua Dongying, deputy director of the Central Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, who was announced by Jinning at the time of the reshuffling of the secretary of the Jiangdong Provincial Party Committee, on behalf of the CPC Central Committee and the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, it can be seen that the Central Committee had a rather good impression of Secretary Xiao Chen. Comrade Xiao Chen has been trained in many positions, has rich leadership experience, strong strategic thinking and macro control ability, is familiar with party affairs and economic work, pays attention to the key to seeking big things, has clear ideas, highlights key points, promotes work with great intensity and good results, and has a pioneering and innovative spirit; Diligent and studious, with a wide range of knowledge; He is modest and prudent, calm and low-key, adheres to principles, is fair and upright, leads by example, and has high prestige among the cadres and the masses.

Almost all the good words used to evaluate senior leading cadres are used, and this is quite rare in the comments given when appointing and dismissing cadres at the provincial and ministerial levels. Special attention should be paid to this: Under normal circumstances, only comrades who have already served as secretaries of provincial party committees are transferred to other places to serve as secretaries of provincial party committees in other provinces will give the comment "high prestige among the cadres and the masses" in their comments, but Xiao Chen actually got this comment in advance.

Ordinary spectators naturally don't understand the mystery in this sentence: ordinary provincial leaders, under the special conditions of democratic centralism, of course, only the secretary of the provincial party committee can take for granted "high prestige", you haven't been a secretary yet, how can you have such high prestige?

But Xiao Chen just got this comment, not because the Central Committee was also playing any clever tricks and making fun of Xiao Chen, but in the investigation of malfeasance after the August 13 fire in Pengcheng, Xiao Chen was able to help Yu Ke to "destroy relatives with righteousness", which made several leaders of the Central Committee very appreciative.

Ordinary people don't understand the difference, but the system, especially the middle and high-level leading cadres, is very clear, and Secretary Xiao got this comment when he took office, which is a kind of encouragement for them, and it is also a deterrent. Whether it is encouragement or deterrence, it is all because the central government has shown that it attaches great importance to Secretary Xiao Chen. It is said that when the National People's Congress held this year, when the general secretary inspected the Jiangdong Hall, he once said, "Comrade Xiao Chen, you can build a Wucheng with scientific development, and I hope you can also build a Jiangdong with scientific development."

The general secretary's remarks are not only an affirmation, an expectation, but also a spur.

However, to the slight surprise of the high-level cadres in the province, the first slogan shouted by Secretary Xiao Chen at the beginning of his tenure did not directly ask for a GDP increase, nor did it directly ask for a financial revenue increase, but a concept that cannot be fully defined for the time being: happiness Jiangdong.

The main topic discussed at today's enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee is to discuss the "Happy Jiangdong" proposed by Secretary Xiao Chen at the Provincial CPPCC meeting.

Xiao Chen, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, spoke first, he held a very rare piece of manuscript paper in his hand, just when everyone thought that Secretary Xiao was going to be a rare copy of the book this time, Xiao Chen looked around, and said solemnly: "Before today's meeting, I would like to read a short article for you, this short article is an open letter written to me by a netizen in the forum of the provincial government website after I put forward the concept of 'Happy Jiangdong' at the CPPCC meeting, the article is titled "People's Happiness is the Happy Jiangdong - Gift to Secretary Xiao Chen". I specially asked the comrades of the secretariat to print it out, bring it here, and read it to everyone. ”

The remaining eleven members of the Standing Committee and several vice governors and deputy secretaries of the Standing Committee instantly became extremely quiet, and they seemed to have a hunch that this article was not so pleasant.

Xiao Chen didn't seem to see anyone's expression, and thought to himself: "

China's economy has surpassed Germany's and ranks third in the world, and it is said that it is second only to the United States. The voice of 'the rise of great powers' has once again been mentioned by many people. However, it is common knowledge that national goals do not necessarily coincide with the goals of individual life, and that politicians or experts do not always represent the interests of all. As a small citizen of Shengdou, the first thing I want to ask is, what is the benefit of this rise to our people? Professor Wu Jinglian once said: "It doesn't matter whether it is a big country or not, and whether it rises or not, I think the most important thing is how to meet the requirements of the people's happiness and national prosperity." Now Secretary Xiao Chen clearly put forward the 'Happy Jiangdong' plan at the CPPCC meeting, which is even more gratifying, but what is happiness?

Since Yan Fu, the Chinese people have been seeking prosperity for more than a hundred years, but it seems that they still do not know the essentials. Adam, a classical British economist. Smith opposed mercantilism, and in his book The Wealth of Nations, he pointed out that the ultimate goal of national economic development is the happiness of individuals. Smith's original meaning, but still a clear translation: 'The strength of a nation must be measured by its wealth.' 'The prosperity of the country is not to compete for Olympic gold medals, but to be limited to the prosperity of the people.

In today's Chinese society, the disparity between the rich and the poor has reached a serious level. In particular, due to the lack of power constraints, some local governments have increasingly seriously violated the basic human rights of citizens, resulting in the occurrence of group incidents from time to time, so that many people are beginning to doubt basic social justice. If economic development only makes the country strong, but does not make each of us feel the happiness of being a citizen, the rise of such a great power may not be a blessing for the people.

So, if you ask me, do you want to rise, or do you want to be happy? My choice is the latter. I want to walk down the street and not be arbitrarily detained because I don't have documents; The old address will be built into a real estate and will not be forcibly demolished; Writing a poem that is a slap will not be called a crime of slander; If a relative dies unjustly, he will not be ignored because of the protection of officials and officials.

Regardless of whether it is a big country or a small country, the happiness of the people comes first, and the people are pressed to the smallest and the country is put to the largest, this kind of Spartan empire has long proved to be a giant with feet of clay, and it is not far away. It doesn't matter whether a big country is small or small, what is important is that there are big people: their happiness comes first, and if they are not happy, they have the right to complain, be dissatisfied, and replace those who do not do well with elections. It is precisely because of this that the happiness of the greatest number of people is the ultimate pursuit of a government and a country. There are more unhappy people, and even the legitimacy of your existence will be questioned.

If there is a long-term and honest way to make the people feel happy, so that they are well fed, warmly clothed, educated and doctorate, have a house as their warm home, their property and lives are not threatened, their ideas are respected, and their opinions can be expressed, then the people who are easily satisfied will generally feel happy—at least I think the Chinese people will feel satisfied. The short-sighted approach is to make people believe that everything from food and clothing to ideological opinions is not important, and that you can be happy without these, but people who are not in a hurry generally do not take this kind of strategy.

Huaxia is very large, these twenty or thirty years have also rapidly accumulated wealth, which provides enough multi-faceted, 1.5 million families occupy 70% of the wealth of Huaxia, according to the statistics of 20 people in each family, most of these 30 million people are overflowing with happiness, only see their words, of course, feel that Huaxia is a big country, simply restored the Han and Tang dynasties. But if we think of the 30% wealth that more than a billion other people have, and feel that we are still far from the happiness of the greatest number of people, under the huge number of poor people and the Gini coefficient that far exceeds the warning line of the gap between the rich and the poor, talking about the importance of individual citizens and talking about the rise of the people (if you must use this term) may be the top priority, otherwise the 'big country' talks too much, and in the clouds, you will feel that the poor people who have dragged the country behind Tuǐ are ignorant and uncompetitive. Consciously or unconsciously, they will ignore them in order to achieve the dream of a great country, what will such a big country do?

The existence of the state is first and foremost for the existence of every citizen, the people are not happy, and the rise is empty talk. May the happiness in Secretary Xiao's mouth be the personal happiness in the lives of the people of Jiangdong, not the ethereal happiness in the dream of a great country. ”

After Xiao Chen finished reading, he glanced around at everyone, and when he saw that everyone didn't speak, he smiled slightly. He naturally knew that the reason why he didn't speak was that he hadn't heard the secretary's statement, and the tone had not been set, so everyone didn't dare to sing it for a while.

Xiao Chen then said: "Comrades, the pursuit of happiness is the ideal that mankind dreams of. There have been many thoughts about happiness in the history of our country, and the pre-Qin Confucianism put forward the concept of happiness such as 'happiness, happiness, lu, and auspiciousness', and discussed the forms and realms of happiness such as 'the happiness of Confucius and Yan, the three pleasures of the gentleman, and the great cause of virtue, and the great harmony of society'. In ancient Greece and Rome, the West also made in-depth discussions on 'happiness'. Socrates believed that happiness and justice are closely linked, and that injustice is unhappiness; Aristotle defined happiness as 'a virtuous and practical activity of the soul'.

Happiness is a unique attribute of human beings. Marx pointed out: 'Those who bring happiness to the vast majority of people are the happiest. (This sentence is from page 7 of the Complete Works of Marx and Engels) Huaxia ** is a Marxist political party, which has inherited and developed the Marxist concept of happiness, and has always regarded serving the people wholeheartedly as the purpose of the party, and has always regarded the happiness of the people as the fundamental goal of revolution and governance. During the revolutionary period, Comrade Máo Zedong pointed out that the revolution was to 'enable the broad masses of the Chinese people to become people who enjoy the happiness of civilization'. The first constitution stated at the outset that it was necessary to 'ensure that our country will be able to eradicate exploitation and poverty through peaceful paths and build a prosperous and happy socialist society'. Comrade Zheng Nanxun stressed: "All work should be conducive to building socialism with Chinese characteristics, and whether it is conducive to the prosperity and happiness of the people and the prosperity and development of the country should be taken as the criterion for judging whether it is right or wrong." Comrade Xiao Fei stressed many times that 'I am in charge of eating and dressing, and if I do not manage food and clothing well, the people will not be satisfied'. Since the Fourth Plenary Session of the 13th CPC Central Committee, Comrade Jiang Enguo has called for 'jointly creating our happy life and a better future'. Entering the new century and new stage, General Secretary Gu Banglan pointed out that it is necessary to pay attention to people's values, rights and interests, and freedom, as well as people's quality of life, development potential, and happiness index, and stressed that all the party's struggles and work are for the benefit of the people. It can be said that the 90-year history of our party's development is a history of struggle for the party to lead the people to create a happy and beautiful life.

The glorious years and glorious achievements created by our party in leading the people to seek happiness for 90 years are like a picture of Danqing that is majestic and majestic, majestic and colorful. In particular, after more than 30 years of reform and opening up, the party and the state have made great achievements in various undertakings that have attracted worldwide attention, laying a solid foundation for further enhancing the people's happiness. Today, we highlight that building a happy society is not only the original intention of China, but also the political concept and value pursued by the ruling party; It is not only a solemn answer to adapt to the new situation and new changes and respond to the new expectations of the people, but also an urgent need to adapt to economic transformation and social transformation. The economic base determines the superstructure, and people's feelings of happiness are not only material, but also spiritual and psychological needs. Economic growth and the enhancement of comprehensive national strength do not mean the happiness of the people, let alone the long-term stability of the regime, so I say: It is the right time to build a happy society. ”

As soon as Secretary Xiao expressed his position, all the Standing Committee members breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts at the same time. If you are not afraid of the secretary's problems, you are afraid that the secretary will play dumb riddles.

Governor Wang Mingcheng, as an airborne cadre, has been in Jiangdong for a very short time, and he knows very well that he can only follow Secretary Xiao's pace in Jiangdong, and if he goes fast, he will rush to take pictures, and if he goes slow, he will be criticized, especially in major matters, he must closely follow the "party's decision", and must not "treat the organization as nothing"; in Jiangdong now, then doing it is political suicide.

Therefore, Governor Wang Mingcheng naturally took over Secretary Xiao Chen's words and said: "What Comrade Xiao Chen just said is also what I want to say. Building a happy Jiangdong is a major strategic deployment made by the Jiangdong Provincial Party Committee. At the first plenary session of the current provincial party committee, Comrade Xiao Chen made a comprehensive and profound exposition on the construction of a happy Jiangdong. We must note that after more than 30 years of rapid development of reform and opening up, Jiangdong has entered a period of transition in economic and social development in an all-round way. On the one hand, a large amount of material wealth has been accumulated. The total economic output has long surpassed Hong Kong, Singapore and Baodao, which are among the four Asian tigers, and has become one of the top economic provinces in China.

On the other hand, it also faces many difficulties and problems. As Comrade Xiao Chen pointed out, there is still a gap between the affluence of the masses in our province and some brother provinces and cities; unbalanced development between urban and rural areas and regions; The history of cultural development is seriously in arrears; The development of social undertakings is relatively lagging behind, education, medical care, and social security are not commensurate with the status of major economic provinces, and there are many social contradictions, and so on. He stressed that there must be no phenomenon of 'cadres being intoxicated in a bull market in terms of economic aggregate and growth rate, and the masses complaining in a bear market of satisfaction and happiness indexes'. It can be said that now our economic and social development has reached a critical juncture in the transformation from the 'incremental era' to the 'quality improvement era', accelerating transformation and upgrading, transforming the mode of economic development, realizing people's livelihood-oriented scientific development, and improving people's livelihood and well-being is a very arduous and urgent task in front of us, and it is a severe test of our ability to govern. ”

The attitude of the first and second leaders is clear, and the following words of everyone are easy to say-

An old saying: Please support the new book "Great Qin Wuzong", collect, recommend, thank you!
