Fan Wuxian had long expected that Fan Heng could not be the kind of person with a small belly. This time he made his own voice, that is, to express the majesty of the Standing Committee, I can do things, but I can't be used as a monkey, it all depends on my mood, not to succumb to the prestige of some people.
"Since things still have to be done, and you still have to continue to be a member of the Standing Committee, then this matter always needs to be done by yourself, and you don't need to leave everyone with an embarrassment-" Fan Wuxian said to his father Fan Heng.
Fan Heng nodded and said, "That's what I mean, just express your opinions appropriately, it's really not good to stalemate, the overall situation is important." ”
Fan Wuxian smiled slightly, although the four words of saying that the overall situation is important may sound a little funny, but it is undeniable that in many cases, these four words are indeed heavy, and they also force many people to make concessions, although the original intention of this concession is not necessarily for the so-called overall situation.
"Interests are everything, so this time the institutional reform. Always be productive. Fan Wuxian suggested to his father Fan Heng, "I also have a proposal, just for reference." ”
Saying that, Fan Wuxian handed over a document that had been prepared a long time ago to Fan Heng and asked him to take a closer look.
After Fan Heng looked at it for a while, he asked with some surprise, "Ministry of Construction Energy and Ministry of Land and Resources?" Implement a large ministry system? ”
Fan Wuxian nodded, indicating that this was exactly the case.
In fact, some experts from the Modernization Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences put forward the idea of establishing a national Ministry of Energy, and reported it to the relevant departments in the form of an internal report, but no one agreed with it at that time.
In the case at that time, in fact, these researchers did not think so much, and did not consider how scientific the establishment of functions is, but from the perspective of scientists, the establishment of the Ministry of Energy is conducive to the implementation of the national energy strategy and the unified management of energy work, and one point is very important, foreign countries basically have similar institutions.
Although this suggestion did not attract the attention of the high-level, Fan Wuxian noticed it, and he took this matter more seriously.
There is no doubt that China will continue to be at the forefront of global economic growth. However, the internal and external contradictions in China's economic and social development are also becoming more and more prominent.
Externally, China's national development strategy is facing severe challenges as international energy giants threaten China from time to time with all kinds of price threats and sky-high prices, and environmental protection accusations are also renewed. Internally, the coexistence of high administrative costs and low administrative efficiency has made the existing government agency system one of the focus issues of criticism from all walks of life, and has generated an internal impulse for reform.
One word. If you don't change it, you can't do it
In the proposal given to Fan Heng by Fan Wuji, it was suggested that he should take the energy sector as the focus of the reform of the large-scale departmental system in this round of institutional reform. Under his vision, the soon-to-be-established Ministry of Energy will integrate the energy-related functions of the National Development and Reform Commission, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the Ministry of Land and Resources, the Ministry of Water Resources, and the Electricity Regulatory Commission, as well as lead state-owned energy giants such as PetroChina, Sinopec, CNOOC, and State Grid.
After Fan Heng read Fan Wuxi's plan, he was also shocked, his son can really do it, and he will do it to so many ministries and commissions at once, and they are all some more important ministries and commissions, if this knife is cut, it can indeed get miraculous results, at least many problems that have not been solved for a long time will disappear.
But there are also a lot of troubles, because this work alone requires enough headaches for the departments involved.
In fact, in the era of the planned economy, China also set up a Ministry of Energy, but with the gradual decentralization of its functions to state-owned enterprises, in 1993, the former Ministry of Energy was dissolved.
However, for China, the world's second-largest energy consumer, the importance of energy cannot be overstated.
The energy management system involves important fields such as petroleum, coal, electricity, and nuclear energy. The current management system. The entity is the Energy Bureau, which has only more than 30 people within the National Development and Reform Commission, and is only a department-level unit, while large energy companies such as PetroChina, Sinopec, CNOOC, and State Grid Corporation of China are all at the ministerial or vice-ministerial level, lacking an institution that can systematically coordinate energy resources in the administrative system and management authority.
is the so-called guest bully, you are a small director, you don't even have the qualifications to talk to others, what can you expect to do? In the domestic officialdom, it was originally a place that paid attention to seniority, and if the rules were disrupted, they would definitely be besieged by everyone.
It is obviously unrealistic to do sinners for the sake of public affairs.
At the same time, energy management is multi-pronged, in the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Commerce, and the Electricity Regulatory Commission. For example, the State Electricity Regulatory Commission, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) are in charge of power management, and the National Power System Reform Leading Group is co-ordinated, while the management of oil and coal is more decentralized.
When talking about the establishment of the national energy department, Fan Wuxi's idea is not so simple, nor does it mean that simply building the Ministry of Energy will solve the problem, but to set up the Energy Commission and the Ministry of Energy at the same time.
"I also made this point after in-depth analysis and calculation, and I didn't bring it up casually." When Fan Wuxian talked about these things, even if he was discussing them with his father, he was very serious, "Due to the scientific, complex and important nature of energy issues, it is necessary to establish a National Energy Commission, which is an advisory and quasi-decision-making body of the State Council; The Ministry of Energy, on the other hand, is the executive agency and is under the direction and supervision of the Energy Commission. If this problem is not solved. This is still not going to work, and if the energy strategy is not addressed in a timely manner, within a few years, you will taste the bitter consequences of not paying enough attention to this issue. When I say this, I don't say it in a word, but there are many judgments in it. ”
Fan Heng scratched his head a little after hearing this, his son's advice to him was really a bit appalling, the issue of strengthening the national energy strategy was becoming more and more prominent, and the establishment of a unified energy department should also be established, in fact, there was a small range of discussions within the high-level about this matter, but it was not mentioned on the agenda.
The most important point of controversy is mainly focused on the scope of the Ministry of Energy, after all, such a big move is not a trivial matter. But it should be certain that, in any case, the new Ministry of Energy will not return to the old institutional structure, but will focus on improving the level of decision-making in the energy sector, otherwise it will not be effective, but will only be a dispensable bureaucracy.
"This plan is still very valuable for reference-" Fan Hengsizhi felt that his son's suggestion was actually very valuable, and if the energy problem was solved at once, then follow this idea. The establishment of systems such as large-scale transportation, large-scale land construction, large-scale agriculture, large-scale culture, and large-scale financial departments is also logical, and there is a model that can be used as a reference.
The most important thing is to consider the practical needs of market economy development and social development, and the conditions are relatively mature, so it can be included in the reform agenda, and Fan Wuxian has always attached great importance to the energy industry, especially in overseas has a large number of energy and mineral resource reserves, his views on this issue are of great significance, even if the high-level people see this plan. Nor can it be treated with caution.
Another point is that although Fan Heng made a move in front of him to advance and retreat, so that everyone could not get off the stage, Fan Heng himself knew very well that if the institutional reform was not carried out, the financial burden of the central government would indeed be heavier.
On this issue, although in terms of the proportion of people supported by the government in the population, there are not many personnel in domestic government departments and administrative institutions, and they are even far lower than in some other countries.
However, the most important problem is that this small proportion of people consumes huge administrative costs, which can be said to be outrageously high when compared with other countries in the world.
Since they are public servants, they should not live more nourishingly than the common people, but the current situation is just the opposite, which is very problematic, and this should not be the case in a developing country.
By merging and streamlining the organs, the departments with overlapping functions can be omitted, the administrative expenses can be saved by reducing the size of the organs, and the personnel can also be streamlined, which can improve the efficiency of government administration and reduce the situation in which the original functions of various departments overlap and shirk responsibility to each other.
Therefore, Fan Heng still has to solve this problem after he has made himself stronger, since no one is willing to pick up this burden, and no one can pick it up, then he has an unshirkable responsibility, which is also his original intention all the way.
In a word, the overall situation is important!
This overall situation is not the overall situation of a few people, but the decision made by Fan Heng and Fan Wuzhi, father and son, after standing on the position of national interests, after some foresight.
It is conceivable that with the great improvement of the speed of construction and the rapid development of social economy, the demand for energy resources will also snowball.
After some careful thinking and revision. Fan Heng threw out a new draft of institutional reform and handed it to everyone at the Standing Committee for circulation.
"Uh-" This time, everyone's expressions were even more strange, no one expected that Fan Heng would unexpectedly make a gorgeous turn and return to the topic after taking advance as retreat.
However, when they carefully read the draft submitted by Fan Heng, they felt even more shocked, this time it seemed that Fan Heng was going to play big, and it was the kind of far-reaching plan.
There are no pop-ups
