Chapter 061: Talking by the Lake

In a provincial sanatorium for veteran cadres in the southern suburbs of Jinning City, there is a small lake for veteran cadres to fish. This small lake welcomed an unexpected guest today, he is now Jiangdong No. 1, Xiao Chen, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee.

Secretary Xiao Chen came here today mainly to pay a visit to the old comrades and leaders of the Jiangdong Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government, which is also a procedure that every provincial party secretary must go through after taking office, and Xiao Chen is of course no exception.

After the speech, after listening to some of the speeches of some old cadres, Secretary Xiao accompanied several old leaders to the small lake to fish, and talked about their hearts by the way.

Sitting with Xiao Chen fishing was the old leader of Jiangdong Province and the old governor Comrade Chen Ruowang. Secretary Xiao's secretary Chen Dang, the driver Lin Lei, and the guard Zhang Yi sat a little farther away and chatted.

"Elder Chen, if the old leaders have any opinions and suggestions on the provincial party committee and the provincial government, they should tell us in time, especially if there are any things that are not done well or not enough, the old leaders must point them out for us as soon as possible, give full play to their residual heat, and guide the younger generations." Xiao Chen threw out the fishhook and said with a smile.

Chen Lao smiled and said indifferently: "A bunch of old people who are useless, what can they do to exert their residual heat, no one has listened to us outdated people for a long time." ”

Xiao Chen's face froze, and he smiled: "Old Chen, is there anything wrong with you?" ”

"I'm okay, although I've retired for so long, fortunately, I still have a son who is the mayor, people don't look at my old face, but also look at Chen De's face, so I can provide for me, some comrades are not necessarily." Chen Ruowang waved his hand.

Xiao Chen looked at Elder Chen, and asked earnestly: "Elder Chen, if there is anything that the Provincial Party Committee has not taken care of, please make it clear, if it is my problem, I will correct it." ”

Chen Lao smiled: "You tǐng good, even if there is a problem, you have only been a secretary for a few days, and this responsibility will not be borne by you." ”

"If other comrades or departments have problems, I, the secretary, can't run away." Xiao Chen said with a smile: "Are there any old comrades and subordinates around you who have encountered unfair treatment?" ”

Chen Lao laughed: "I really want to know? ”

"Of course."

Chen Lao sank slightly and asked, "Sun Zhongxian, do you know?" ”

Xiao Chen thought slightly, nodded and said, "Former vice governor." ”

Chen Lao nodded and said, "Yes, he once served as a vice governor in my political team for four years, and then transferred to the National People's Congress. ”

Xiao Chen nodded, without a chuckle.

Chen Lao continued: "Originally, if he retired as a vice governor, there would be no problems in terms of treatment, but something happened to his bad family. ”

Xiao Chen didn't speak, and continued to nod and listen to what Elder Chen said.

Chen Lao sighed: "He has three children, the eldest and the third are daughters, and the second is a son. As for the people of our generation, to be honest, there are actually some patriarchal thoughts, and Lao Sun is no exception. He was a little too fond of this son, when he was in the position of vice governor, his baby son opened a company from scratch under his banner outside, Lao Sun himself didn't do anything for him, but some people outside looked at Lao Sun's face, of course, they would take care of this kid's business, and the company was quite prosperous. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Lao shook his head and continued: "Later, Lao Sun retired, and he didn't fully retire, and when he retired to the National People's Congress, his face was not very good, and his son's life outside began to be not so easy. This kid is also not good at learning, so he relied on his old man and a few old subordinates to hurry up and make a final profit. He didn't have any other skills, so he relied on his father's old subordinates who were still in the number one position in the department, and sold several officials, nòng seven or eight hundred thousand...... Seven or eight hundred thousand or ** 100,000, I can't remember, in short, hundreds of thousands are close to one million, but after Lao Sun all retired, one of the old subordinates had an accident and confessed Lao Sun's son, so that Shun Teng mō melon, several things were found out, and his son was sentenced for this...... This incident hit Lao Sun very hard, and since then, Lao Sun's speech has been a little biased, and this bias has offended people and scolded Secretary Li. Secretary Li is a generous person, and he can understand Lao Sun's mood at that time, and he didn't care about anything, but Secretary Li didn't care, and there were people below who were anxious about Secretary Li's urgency, so they had to give Secretary Li grievances, and Lao Sun was stuck everywhere. The year before last, the old cadres of the provincial party committee improved their housing and moved out of the old dormitory built in the early nineties, which was said to be in exchange for fund-raising housing, but we people bought it at one price, but Lao Sun got another price, which was almost half more expensive. So far, a former vice governor can't even afford to live in a fund-raising house, Secretary Xiao, what do you say is this? If he, Sun Zhongxian, is a ** element himself, I fully agree with bringing him to justice! But he himself is not, his son **, of course, he has the responsibility of lax discipline, and the fact that he uses his power to seek rent, but the law of our country says that this situation will even sit until he is the father? Didn't you? Then why do some people use such brains and engage in such small means to pat the secretary's ass? I don't think Secretary Li received his affection! ”

Xiao Chen listened, Shen yín for a moment, nodded: "This matter, I will personally inquire about it, we can't let go of a ** element, nor can we look at other members of this family differently just because a family has a ** element, this is unfair, the organization has always treated such a situation and such family members differently, and this principle cannot be changed." ”

Chen Lao smiled: "Well, with your secretary speaking, I think this matter should be settled." ”

Xiao Chen smiled bitterly: "This situation is not a good situation......"

Chen Lao smiled and said meaningfully: "What, do you hope that your own words are not so effective?" ”

Xiao Chenzheng said: "Don't hide it from Elder Chen, from an emotional point of view, of course, I hope that my words will be listened to, no one will object, and every sentence will be implemented to the letter." But, from a rational point of view, I do oppose and am deeply concerned about this phenomenon. ”

Chen Lao condensed slightly, looked at Xiao Chen, but didn't say much, just asked one word: "Oh?" ”

Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the sparkling lake, and said quietly: "I've been thinking about this matter recently, my authority as a secretary is so great, is it good or bad?" Don't hide it from Chen Lao, there are some rumors, I have actually heard of them, especially now in the Jiangdong Provincial Party Committee, there are many comrades in the Standing Committee who are classified as 'Xiao Chen's people' by some people, so some people say that I am 'Jiangdong King' and 'Wu Wang', I don't know this situation, but I haven't figured out how to solve it for a while. ”

"Why fix it? What are you trying to solve? Chen Lao also got up and asked rhetorically: "Is the principle of democratic centralism applicable in our Huaxia?" If a more 'democratic' system comes out, do you think it will be better than it is now? ”

Xiao Chen was silent and didn't speak, and Chen Lao continued: "I think it's not necessarily possible. Xiao Chen, I know that you have always been a reformer, ah, don't look at Old Man Xiao as a 'moderate among reformers', but I know that you are actually completely different from your grandfather, you are the kind of person who is more jī enterprising. And I also know that in the eyes of your generation, the people of our time are all old-fashioned, old-fashioned, all in favor of the concentration of power, and have no democratic concept, right? ”

Xiao Chen continued to remain silent and did not speak.

Chen Lao snorted suddenly, and said solemnly and even a little sternly: "But don't forget, our people are the generation that pinned their heads in their belts to fight for democracy and liberation!" ”

Xiao Chen was solemn and said: "Yes, Old Chen, although I haven't personally experienced this point, I know it very well and completely agree with this statement." ”

Chen Lao sighed: "The power is too centralized, the Cultural Revolution is over, the power is not centralized, and the four of them helped...... There is a degree in this, and this degree is not easy to grasp. I don't think your grandfather will tell you some things, I'm half a foot in the dirt anyway, I'll talk about it casually, you can listen to it casually...... Why did your grandfather have to invite Comrade Nanxun to go out of the mountain when the whole party asked him to preside over the work, have you thought about it? ”

Xiao Chen was slightly stunned: "Grandpa said that he has never been in charge of the army, so he is not suitable for ......"

"It's okay for others to believe it, but you also believe it?" Old Chen sneered: "Your grandfather has been the head of the Central Organization for so many years, and the vice chairman for so many years, all for nothing?" There are so many army leaders in Siye, what is your grandfather's actual status in Siye, do you not know? Without your grandfather rectifying the economy in the Northeast, Mr. Lin would be able to beat a bird's egg! Chen Lao suddenly said a foul word, waved his hand, calmed his tone, and then continued: "The people of Siye are convinced by Mr. Lin, but they are also convinced by your grandfather, if he really wants to be the core at that time, it will not be a problem at all, one, two, three, four, which faction does not have his old subordinates?" Adjust a few positions casually, and he will be as safe as Mount Tai. But he didn't do it, he insisted on letting the Southern Tour comrades go out of the mountain, for what? In order to prevent the emergence of a leader who is completely unspeakable and uncontrollable! You have to think about self-reduction, you don't have to learn from others, your grandfather is the best example! He is the real master of Tai Chi, and the way of yīn yang is to reconcile, whether the east wind overpowers the west wind or the west wind overpowers the east wind, it is not a good thing. ”

Xiao Chen took a deep breath and nodded: "Old Chen's lesson is that I have been taught." ”

"Don't." Chen Lao waved his hand and said: "I just said it casually, I have been standing aside for a long time, what the current situation is, I don't know for a long time, how to arrange specific things, I think you have made it to the secretary of the provincial party committee, it is impossible not to have your own ideas." As for me telling you this, it's not that I want to teach you anything, but just to remind you that Huaxia is Huaxia, and when the Chinese people play tricks, Westerners are still playing with mud, you don't always follow the thinking of those gringos to think about problems, China has its own Chinese cultural traditions, its own Chinese means of operation, and forcibly copying other people's systems is not as easy as some people imagine. ”

Xiao Chen nodded: "I know, Old Chen rest assured." ”

Chen Lao laughed at this time, suddenly patted Xiao Chen's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Oh, speaking of which, this time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, the little radish head who was waiting for his grandfather to come out to tease him outside Xiao Lao's office has now grown up and has become the secretary of the provincial party committee...... How can we not grow old? Chen Lao said, full of emotion for a while.

Xiao Chen's heart was hot, and he grabbed Chen Lao's hand with his backhand, and suddenly choked a little.

Chen Lao regained his demeanor on the battlefield back then, laughed, and actually joked: "Why, before the little rabbit cub went to the battlefield, he was said to cry by the political commissar?" This is not untargeted, Chen Lao was a political commissar at that time.

Xiao Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud again, and then said with a wry smile: "You still like to joke so much. ”

Chen Lao feigned anger and said: "What's the matter, I became the secretary of the provincial party committee, oh, I am still the first secretary of the party committee of the provincial military district, right, the official is older than me, so I can't joke?" Do you want to be court-martialed against me? ”

Xiao Chen shook his head with a wry smile and begged for mercy: "You old ...... Alas, I was wrong, I was wrong, you should accumulate some virtue when you are old. ”

Chen Lao laughed: "Okay, okay, let the secretary of the provincial party committee admit my mistake to me, I, an old guy standing aside, will have the capital to brag, next time I will not pick the fault of Lao Tzu's old subordinates, Lao Tzu will let them go to you, the secretary, to see what kind of face they are!" ”

Xiao Chen had no choice but to continue to be careful: "Yes, yes, if you always have anything that doesn't go your way, let them come to me and say, I'll deal with your old man well, if you don't handle it well, you can go to me and beat me." ”

Chen Lao was another haha: "Okay, this is what you said, I remember." ”

Xiao Chen smiled: "Yes, yes, I said it." ”

Chen Lao yawned, stood up and waved his hand: "I'm old, I'm not in good spirits, I have to go back and take a nap, don't die too early, I can't see the happy days of our Jiangdong people in the future...... Xiao Chen, you don't have to stay here all the time, I know you're busy, ah, anyway, my old man is also a busy person, isn't it? ”

Xiao Chen stood up with a smile and hugged Chen Lao, and said, "Chen Lao, what you said is wrong. ”

Chen Laoqi said: "What did I say wrong? ”

Xiao Chen said with a smile: "When I was the governor last year, I was really busy, so busy that I almost didn't have time to sleep, but now I'm not so busy." ”

Chen Lao understood, and said with a smile: "Oh, that's too, I've become a secretary, and the general direction is to assign the comrades below to grasp the specific things, but I have time to sleep." ”

Xiao Chen smiled, but shook his head and sighed: "Yes, I have time to sleep, but unfortunately I can't sleep again." ”

Chen Lao glanced at him, haha: "You secretary, it's not easy to do it, you are young, the pressure is great, so many pairs of eyes across the country are staring at you." This Jiangdong, if you bring it well, then it's okay to say, in case something comes out...... That's really a lot of emotion, and saliva can drown people. ”

Xiao Chen smiled slightly: "I will do my best, and I have confidence." ”

Chen Lao was supported by Xiao Chen, walked slowly by the lake, walked to the place where the old cadres arranged for him to park the car, and finally explained to Xiao Chen: "If the power is too centralized, there will indeed be some troubles, but the power is too scattered, if the secretary does not have enough authority to lead the entire team, the trouble is not small." You must master the degree of this...... I heard Chen De say, you have carried out a pilot project in Wucheng and Pengcheng respectively, that is, in the grassroots team, the rational distribution of power is a pilot? ”

Xiao Chen nodded: "Well, there is such a thing, since Chen De has mentioned it to you, I will also report to you, I won't talk about the situation in Pengcheng, Chen De will ask him when he comes back, and I will tell you about the situation in Wucheng." ”

Chen Lao nodded, hummed, and said, "Okay, you talk about it, I'll listen." ”

Xiao Chen sank slightly and said: "My consistent view is that standardizing the operation of power is the core of the construction of the punishment and prevention system and the key to preventing risks. The pilot project in Wucheng is in Wuzhong District, where Wang Wenyuan used to be the district head, and now the pilot is also arranged here. The pilot project is mainly carried out in this way, and all units take supervision and restraint of the operation of power as the core, comprehensively sort out and standardize each power, and initially establish a power operation mechanism of 'clear rights and responsibilities, strict procedures, open operation, and effective constraints'. ”

He paused slightly and continued: "At present, there are three main pilot projects: first, reasonable decentralization among team members. Wuzhong District implements the '1+x' examination and approval procedure for all administrative examination and approval matters, that is, two or more people must be responsible for the implementation of the '1+2' examination and approval system or the 'four-character combined chapter' verification system for the financial management of units; and the system and procedures of real-name recommendation, differential investigation, and differential voting are implemented for promotion and reuse, evaluation and modeling, and rewards and punishments.

The Wuzhong District Finance Bureau has decided on the budget management power, which was originally concentrated on a small number of people, through collective discussion and decision by the leading body, and has implemented democratic decision-making on budget management. The deputy director of the Finance Bureau and the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of their district told me: "In the past, the right to prepare the budget and prepare the final accounts was mainly concentrated in the head of the budget unit, the director and the deputy director in charge of the budget. I'm quite in agreement with that.

The second is the scientific control between departments. The decision-making and implementation, review and approval, deployment and use, investigation and handling and other work powers are separated, and are completed by different business departments and departments, forming mutual restraint and mutual restraint between various business departments and departments. To this end, the Wuzhong District Land and Resources Bureau has formulated the "Administrative Examination and Approval Examination and Approval System", which clarifies the scope, time and procedure of the examination and approval, and covers six administrative examination and approval items such as the approval of construction land. From the examination and approval to the registration and issuance of the certificate, the construction land was managed by one department in the past, and the two departments managed the land use approval and registration and issuance of certificates respectively, which put an end to the phenomenon that a small number of departments or individuals decide the examination and approval matters.

The third is the discretion of compression and solidification. Wuzhong District quantifies and solidifies the discretionary standards according to the different degrees of facts, and compresses the space for public officials to use power to seek rent, with a total of 1,256 discretionary powers solidified in the whole district, and 3,142 discretionary standards are refined. The Wuzhong District Local Taxation Bureau has solidified the discretion of 34 tax administrative penalties one by one, and each of them is comprehensively ruled according to the taxpayer's ideological attitude, the degree of harm of the behavior, the amount involved, the past history, the socio-economic background and other factors at the time of the behavior, and is divided into three grades: slight, serious and particularly serious, and a total of 102 levels of administrative punishment power are set. Because of the change from elasticity to rigidity and discretion to rule-based ruling, the arbitrariness of administrative punishment is restricted. ”

After listening to Xiao Chen's words, Chen Lao pondered for a moment and nodded: "Your book is not in vain, if you study law, you should rely on the law to solve it like this, if the law cannot be changed for a while, new regulations will be introduced, which is also a way." He smiled and patted Xiao Chen's shoulder again: "Don't worry, the old guys will support you and won't hold you back." ”

Xiao Chen laughed and held Chen Lao's hand: "Thank you Chen Lao, thank you to all the old leaders and comrades who support the work of the provincial party committee and the provincial government, we must work hard and do practical things." ”
