There is always a lot of activity around New Year's Day. The government is also very busy, Fan Heng after careful discussion with his son Fan Wuxian, and then found his think tanks to conduct in-depth research, and finally came up with a new set of institutional reform plans, contrary to the old way of starting from the merger of ministries and commissions, and chose to do a comprehensive review of the administrative examination and approval authority according to market demand, so as to determine that those administrative approvals are outdated and need to be abolished.

Under this operation, Fan Heng put forward his own draft of institutional reform, which listed more than 680 kinds of administrative examination and approval items that needed to be withdrawn and abolished, and listed a large number of facts to illustrate them.

Fan Heng's move immediately shocked the entire high-level, and no one expected Fan Heng to make such a big move, after all, although such a move did not threaten the interests of a certain individual member, it really reduced the authority of the entire government a lot.

The most important thing is that this move also reflects part of Fan Heng's attitude, although I Fan Heng has no background before. But now he is also a real member of the Standing Committee, a leader at the national level, and the work can be done, but the black pot is unwilling to carry it.

Don't you want to talk about some institutional reform, don't you want to make me responsible, then I'll treat you from the root and see who the last headache will be? Anyway, I Fan has no desires and no desires, and I don't care about the consequences of this kind of thing.

In fact, every new government is often the best time to reform the administrative system. Since 1983, the central authorities have made some adjustments to government departments at regular intervals. A brief review shows that this is a difficult and long road to reform.

Why do we need a large-scale departmental system?

The data can be used to illustrate the extent to which there are many government departments in China.

Before the 1982 reform, the number of ministries and commissions of the State Council reached 100.

Since then, the government has carried out a number of administrative reforms, each of which has focused on streamlining institutions and reducing personnel.

In 1982, 39 departments were streamlined at once, and in 1998 there was another large-scale institutional reform, and 11 of the 40 constituent departments of the State Council were cut and only 29 were retained, and the vast majority of departments directly managing industry were abolished.

The intensity of this kind of institutional reform is not insignificant, and the successive major surgeries on government agencies undoubtedly reflect the extremely abnormal administrative system at that time.

However, the foothold of the previous reforms was basically to adhere to the principles of streamlining, unification, and efficiency, and it was difficult to fundamentally solve the shortcomings of the existing administrative organs. After each reform, there will be another wind of institutional expansion. Institutional reform has been described as a numbers game, a path of streamlining – expanding – streamlining – expanding again.

To this day, in addition to the General Office of the State Council, the State Council still has 28 constituent departments, one ad hoc body, 18 directly subordinate organs, four administrative organs, 10 state bureaus under the management of ministries and commissions, 14 public institutions directly under the State Council, and more than 100 deliberative and coordinating bodies.

Purely in terms of numbers, compared with mature market economy countries, China's government departments are already too many.

There is a folk song that compares the scene of an overcrowded government meeting, "The minister sat in an auditorium, the director stood in a corridor, and the director crowded a square." ”

At the cabinet meeting, the ministers sat in a room, how to deliberate, who should they listen to?

The incompleteness of the successive reforms also reflects the heavy historical burden of the reform of the domestic administrative system, because it is a transformation from a planned system, and a notable feature of the planned economy is that it has many departments and implements management in various sectors.

The current setup of government agencies is tinkered with on the basis of the era of planned economy, and command and control are still emphasized in terms of function, which will inevitably lead to the establishment of organs being too detailed, and the management of government organs being too microscopic and concrete, and the system is too rigid.

There are too many government agencies and too many details. Overlapping institutions, overlapping functions, and difficulties in coordination are very common, which has become a major difficulty in the reform of government functions and institutional reforms.

In addition to this, there is an inevitable by-product of the overabundance of institutions, which is high administrative costs.

One of the more obvious manifestations of this is the large number of civil servants.

According to the survey, nearly 70 percent of the public believe that there are too many civil servants in China. According to the ratio of civil servants to GDP, the number of civil servants in China greatly exceeds that of developed countries.

Comparatively speaking, the large-sector system is the product of the system of public service-oriented government in modern society, and it is also the government system model commonly adopted in countries with mature market economy.

But this still hasn't changed the previous practice of sewing and mending, Fan Heng sees this very clearly, and Fan Wuxian sees it more clearly, as for the people of the country, they actually see it most clearly, not that it is difficult to change, but that everyone is afraid of offending people.

Then Fan Heng naturally has a complaint in his heart, let me fight the thunder for this kind of thing? Why don't you think about me when you have good things? So since you all let me take the thunder, I will admit it. I not only want to resist thunder, but also to resist a big thunder, so I will simply solve this problem for you from the root, and see if you really have the courage to dare to pass this bill?

"Hehe, Mr. Fan is finally angry-" At this time, Boss Zhu, who was still in charge of the State Council, immediately said this after seeing Fan Heng's proposal on institutional reform, but there was a smile in his eyes, and it was obvious that he didn't think it was a problem.

The secretary didn't dare to answer the words. Because of the Mr. Fan in Boss Zhu's mouth, whether it is the executive vice premier Fan or Mr. Fan without disease, the father and son are not easy to mess with, especially the relationship with Boss Zhu is very good, casually talking about them, it is hard to imagine what problems will arise.

However, he also very much agrees with Boss Zhu's opinion, in this matter, Mr. Fan and Mr. Xiao Fan have reasons to be angry.

The power dumping in the high-level is also very serious, but it is not obvious in the eyes of outsiders, this time everyone elected Fan Heng to come out to top the thunder, who knew that Mr. Fan actually ignored this stubble at all, and hit their life at once, after all, it would indeed be scary to start from the cancellation of 680 administrative approval items.

For example, the administrative examination and approval projects in a provincial-level city in China are actually about 1,000, and Fan Heng has made such a ruthless move, almost cutting sixty percent of the criminal investigation and approval powers.

In fact, objectively speaking, this is a very effective reform program.

The reason is also very simple, the scope of power is reduced, the scope of money that can be made is smaller, and the struggle for power is concentrated. The number of bureaucrats will be reduced, and in this way, due to the decrease in the number of final decisions, based on the principle that the three monks have no water to eat, there will be fewer officials who can compete, and the number of institutions will naturally decrease.

The truth is simple: there is a cost to training bureaucrats.

at the grassroots level. It is basically difficult for a county and department-level official who has actual power to get ahead without more than one million operating costs if it is not under special circumstances, and this is the driving force behind everyone's desire to move to a department with the right to control as many administrative examination and approval projects as possible.

If there is no such attraction, then with the little dead salary of the department-level cadres, the ghost will be willing to do that kind of laborious thing, and really think that everyone is thinking about serving the people? When this is said, it is only possible for the onlookers who do not know the truth without judgment to believe it.

Therefore, when Fan Heng proposed this solution and cited a large number of facts as evidence, everyone could not find any reason to refute it, and the only thing that could be stopped was the so-called principle of stability overriding everything.

Therefore, the No. 1 chief, who still has not completely withdrawn, stood up to act as this peacemaker, saying that although Comrade Fan Heng's plan is the solution, the consequences may be difficult to predict, so it is not advisable to rush at this time.

In this way, the matter of institutional reform was naturally put on hold.

After all, this matter is obvious, you let the family have full authority to deal with this matter, and Fan Heng came up with a radical cure, but you said no, this is not in line with the national conditions, isn't this teasing people? The face of the Zhengguo-level leader is not thrown like this!

When Fan Heng returned home, when he mentioned this matter to Fan Wuxian, he said, "If this matter is not pressed again, the New Year will be celebrated immediately, and the New Year will be the two sessions, and if the proposal cannot be passed at the two sessions, then the matter of institutional reform will be delayed for another five or ten years." ”

Fan Wuxi understands his father Fan Heng's thoughts very well, after all, Fan Heng is a person who does things, and this time he sacrificed the magic weapon of advancing and retreating, in fact, most of them were instigated by himself, plus he was already a little dissatisfied with some people and some people in his heart. That's why this time I made such an unexpected move.

In normal times, even if Fan Heng is a little wronged, it is unlikely that he will openly oppose the high-level army, which is not in line with his consistent rules of conduct, and it is also the biggest reason why everyone is surprised.

"But someone has to do something, and institutional reform is really important," Mr. Fan finally said.

"That's not impossible." Regarding this matter, Fan Wuxian already had a case in his heart.

There are no pop-ups
