readx; Qiao's family is not prosperous, and the third generation is Qiao Wei and Qiao Yun, two brothers and sisters. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoCompared with the homes of dignitaries and dignitaries in the same Xishan, it seems particularly deserted every New Year. As half of Qiao's family, even if the old lady is in good health, Chen Hongjun will bring his wife and children to the capital every year to accompany the old lady for the New Year.

The relationship between Chen Hongjun and the Qiao family is very delicate, different from the general "collusion between officials and businessmen".

His existence not only ensured that the Qiao family did not need to consider some economic problems, but also made up for the gap between the Qiao family and the military after the death of the old general. What's more, as a deputy to the National People's Congress and a model for supporting the army, he also has a certain social influence.

Because of this, no one in the Qiao family regarded him as an outsider, even Qiao Yun, who worked in the General Office of the State Council, called him "Brother Jun" when he saw him, and the children even regarded him as an uncle who was closer than Qiao Wei.

Qiao Wei, deputy secretary of the Donghai Provincial Party Committee, is busier than when he was deputy director of the Central Committee's office. It was not until the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve that he hurriedly returned to the capital. In the past year, the number of meetings with Chen Hongjun has been less than three times. Even phone calls are long and short, never more than ten minutes.

After accompanying the old lady to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and wrapping the children's money, the two brothers who are like brothers and sisters finally have time to sit together, and it is rare to pull up the family routine.

“…… If nothing else, my work may be adjusted in the second half of the year, and as for where I will go, I can't say yet, the chief didn't say it clearly, and I don't want to ask too much. ”

Now the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee is just a transition, and Qiao Wei's next stop must be the feudal official. Chen Hongjun was ecstatic for a while, hurriedly put down the teacup, and said impatiently: "Xiaowei, don't miss the opportunity, you won't come again!" In any case, you have to seize this opportunity, and if you can't do it, ask Chen Lao to help you do the work. ”

is also a feudal official, but the actual power is very different. If you are adjusted to an economically underdeveloped province, it is easy to make political achievements, but you may only be an alternate member of the Central Committee. If it can be adjusted to economically developed provinces or municipalities directly under the central government, it will not only have the opportunity to run for membership of the Central Committee, but also have the opportunity to run for membership of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee.

Qiao Wei couldn't hear the meaning of his words, but he still shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Don't think about this session, if you think about it, it will also be the next session." After all, I am still young and I don't have much local work experience, so it is not easy to become a regular person smoothly. ”

Only then did Chen Hongjun realize that he was in a hurry for quick success, and nodded again and again: "If you want to do everything quickly, you can't reach it, and it's better to be stable in this critical period." ”

"Don't talk about that."

Qiao Wei waved his hand, lit a cigarette, and asked casually, "By the way, has Melon contacted you during this time?" This kid seems to be addicted to being a county official, and he doesn't call during the New Year. ”

"When I mention this kid, I'm angry, I've suffered so many losses, and I don't remember my surname for a long time. Only then did he gain a firm foothold, and he was in a hurry to clean up the supernumerary personnel, and it was said that he would also carry out the reform of the political axe institution, I really don't know what he thought. ”

Looking at Chen Hongjun's worried look, Qiao Weile was happy, and immediately laughed and said: "Shi still has to be impressed every three days, do you really think that he is still fighting uncertain battles like before?" ”

"Is it that easy to streamline the government? If it were that easy, it wouldn't be any simpler. What's more, he is just a small county official, and if he is not careful, he will lose his efforts. ”

Qiao Wei had the same worries before, but after some research, he actually found that Secretary Tian Da's success rate was very high, and when he saw Chen Hongjun raising the same question, he analyzed it carefully: "On the surface, he is indeed very radical, and even has some quick success. But in fact, it is not the case, and he has laid a solid foundation for this step through the integration of social security.

First of all, cadres at the county and township levels have been 'reassigned to the locality,' and all cadres are not allowed to be promoted or transferred during their term of office. It's not like before, I always run for officials, or engage in some political performance projects, so I have to calm down and do some political achievements in a down-to-earth manner.

Secondly, the merger of social security and the derivative reform of the wage system have made everyone have to pay social security, and the treatment after retirement is almost the same. The salaries and benefits of in-service cadres are directly linked to fiscal revenues. Before the social security account is filled, there is no longer any hope of ensuring income in drought and flood like in other places. ”

Chen Hongjun reacted at this time, but still shook his head and said: "But the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and these alone are not enough to make the 'iron rice bowl' become a 'porcelain rice bowl'!" ”

"Brother Jun, you can't look at Linshui with the eyes of Hulin. You must know that the private economy there is extremely developed, and if there is no gray income, and cadres and their families are not allowed to do business, then the treatment of civil servants is not even as good as that of a small owner of a family workshop. ”

After Qiao Wei paused, he continued: "He blocked the indiscriminate collection and apportionment, which is equivalent to cutting off the back road of those 'self-supporting and self-supporting' units. If they can't even pay their salaries, those supernumerary personnel will naturally not be able to stay. What's more, he has also taken the lead and set the tone to abolish or merge 30 to 40 department-level units and departments within two years. ”

"Surrender without a fight, force them to leave?" Chen Hongjun pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head with a suddenly realized expression.

"Yes."

Qiao Wei nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Please private entrepreneurs to accept and help those who are diverted, it is just a gesture of his." After all, China is different from abroad, and you can lay off employees by paying an extra three months' salary. Even if any of the private enterprises do not accept it, at least it shows that he has done some work and has not completely left it alone. ”

"It's better to leave late than early, anyway, it's a good time to go sooner or later, it's a bit interesting, he can actually think of such a bad move."

"There's no way around it."

Qiao Wei let out a long sigh and said helplessly: "A small county-level city has more than 130 department-level departments, not including the township level and the sub-bureaus and branches. It is said that even the Patriotic Health Association has joined the ranks of collecting fees for sanitation management from enterprises, institutions, and catering businesses, and if they do not make up their minds to rectify the situation, the prestige of the party and the political axe will be lost. ”

"Then which units does he want to take the knife?"

"I saw the plan some time ago, and the action is really not small. The veteran cadres bureau, the investment promotion bureau, and the township enterprise bureau have been abolished, and the next step seems to be to merge the Meteorological Bureau, the Geological Bureau, and the Hydrological and Water Resources Survey Bureau into the Environmental Protection Bureau, the Sports Bureau, the Cultural Relics Bureau, and the Anti-Pornography and Anti-Illegal Affairs Bureau into the Education Bureau, and the Water Conservancy Bureau, the Food Bureau, and the Agricultural Machinery Administration into the Agricultural Bureau, and also co-locate with the Rural Work Office of the Municipal Party Committee......

In addition to the departments under vertical management such as the State Taxation and Industry and Commerce, all units and departments, including the Party and Youth League system, the people's congress system, and the CPPCC system, can be merged, and all those that can work together will work together like the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Supervision Bureau. Secretary Tianda's goal is very clear, that is, after two years, there will be only 21 political axe departments at the department level in the city.

In his words, it is to "transform the political axe function and emphasize the focus on service." It is necessary to achieve new breakthroughs in straightening out the relationship between the political axe and the market and between the political axe and society. We should persist in separating government from enterprises, from government from capital, from government affairs, and from market intermediary organizations. ”

At the same time of integrating and optimizing the organizational structure of the political axe, the specific form, name, and order of the organization are all adapted to local conditions, and the requirements are not uniform.

"The number of posts is not reduced, the personnel are not reduced, and the treatment is not reduced, so it is better to simplify the administration of the elite soldiers! Looks like the melons are ready to do a big job. ”

Qiao Wei smiled, nodded and said, "Yes, the boat is good to turn around." As long as he doesn't touch the bottom line and doesn't cause any trouble, there is the Shang Fang sword piloted by the State Council, and he can do whatever he wants now. ”

Chen Hongjun pondered for a moment and said thoughtfully: "I'm not worried about whether he can succeed, but whether he can promote it after success is another matter." ”

As Qiao Wei just said, all this is based on the integration of social security and the "diversion and return to the soil" of county-level cadres. There is no doubt how difficult it is to integrate social security, and it takes a lot of courage and determination. However, once the county government reform of "changing the stream and returning to the locality" is promoted, it will affect the central government's control over the local government. This means that even if Secretary Tian Da makes some achievements, it cannot be replicated, at least not in the short term.

"He understands this better than you, otherwise he wouldn't have made up his mind to work in Linshui for eight to ten years."

Qiao Wei sighed lightly, and while knocking on the ashes of his cigarette, he said with emotion: "I asked him on the phone a few days ago, what is the ultimate goal?" I was very touched by his answer, and he actually wanted to put a roll of toilet paper in every public toilet before leaving office. ”

Chen Hongjun was stunned for a moment, then understood, and immediately shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It sounds simple, but it's hard to do." ”

A roll of toilet paper isn't worth a few dollars, but it's not that easy to put in a public toilet. This means that while economic construction is being promoted, the building of spiritual civilization must also be carried out, and both are indispensable.

……………………………………………………… At the same time, Secretary Tian Da, who is thousands of miles away, is taking his wife and children to celebrate the New Year with the old people of Wubao in the Linshui Town Welfare Institute.

As usual, the TV reporter did not follow. But the old county magistrate, who was ashamed and brave, came with a group of old men and old ladies as a volunteer of the Linshui City Association on Aging.

The big canteen was crowded, and Director Wang of the Welfare Institute and Director Chen of the Township Civil Affairs Office were very busy. The red envelope of the red envelope, the gift of the gift. The veteran cadres divided the clothes they didn't usually wear, as well as the New Year's goods prepared for them by their children.

All this is a bit unexpected, and what makes Tian Wenjian even more incredible is that after the provincial party committee investigation team left, the old cadres insisted on visiting these old people every week without any organization. Seeing that the old county magistrate had just finished distributing clothes, rolled up his sleeves again, and helped clean up the big round table, Tian Wenjian hurriedly turned around and said with a smile: "The old county magistrate, look at you, let's take a break, drink saliva first." ”

"Right away, right away."

As soon as the old county magistrate's words fell, another old cadre turned around, looked at Wenwen in his arms, and asked with a kind smile: "Secretary Tian, you haven't returned to your hometown for the New Year." The little guy is so cute, don't her grandparents want her? ”

Tian Wenjian was happy, pointed to the old men of Wubao who were smiling together, and said with a smile: "There are so many grandparents and grandparents, and they are the same wherever they celebrate the New Year." Director Chen, can you take a break for a while, do you want me to pull you? ”

"Yes, yes, let's take a break, and leave this work to our young people." Xiao Na hurriedly moved two chairs, beckoned the two to sit down, took the rags in their hands, and worked with Dean Wang and other staff.

"Secretary Tian, I really didn't expect to meet you today. I'm really sorry for what happened last time, and I punished you with a back. The old county magistrate was a little embarrassed, and as soon as he sat down, he began to criticize himself.

"It's nothing, it's just that I didn't think it through."

Secretary Tian's cheeks were hot when he said this, and he quickly changed the topic, and said with a casual smile: "The old county magistrate, it seems that the work of the Association for the Aged is being carried out very well, I don't know how the aging activity centers in the townships and towns below are?" I was too busy during this time to ask. ”

"It's okay in the city, but it's not okay below."

Talking about work, the old county magistrate said solemnly as if he had changed his life: "You know here, Buddhism, Taoism, and Christianity are all there, and feudal superstitious activities are too rampant, and it is said that even some old cadres and old party members have been involved. This is a serious problem, and you must have paid enough attention to it. ”

Faith was absent, and feudal superstition prevailed. Not to mention those retired old cadres, now those in-service cadres believe in feng shui. According to Guo Dengming, secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, even the municipal party committee building has successively invited more than a dozen feng shui masters from planning and design to construction, but it is only listed as "consulting fee" and "management fee" in the expenditure.

Among high-ranking officials, wealthy businessmen, superstars, and celebrities, there are not a few people who believe in feng shui, ask people to look at feng shui, and act according to the guidance of feng shui masters. If in the past, feng shui had to be covered and put on the coat of "science", "ecology" and "geography", but now the banner of "traditional culture", "oriental wisdom" and "unity of heaven and man" has entered the house, and even become a measure to "build a harmonious society".

As a Ph.D., how can I not study religion at all. Tian Wenjian deeply understands that in a normal society, political belief can only be applied to politicians, political party backbones, or a small number of people with special political interests, and cannot be used against the majority of the people.

Although the belief in ethics and morality is very reasonable, it is unfortunately limited to a small number of social elites, and it is impossible to popularize even the upper classes and intellectuals, let alone the general public. Confucianism's emphasis on prudence and independence, on the one hand, illustrates the importance of self-cultivation, and on the other hand, it also proves that it is not easy to maintain ethical and moral beliefs!

The words of the old county magistrate made his eyes light up, and he secretly thought that so many people are superstitious, as long as they can be well guided, this is not an opportunity to rebuild morality and ease social contradictions.

In the next three days, Secretary Tian simply took his wife and children to visit the mountains and rivers, burn incense and visit. I even went to the Catholic church and had a service with the believers.

Secretary Dong saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. As soon as Tian Wenjian got to work, he reminded nervously: "Boss, there have been a lot of rumors about you in the past two days. You have a special status, and you will not go to those religious places in the future. ”

Tian Wenjian was happy, and while motioning for him to sit down, he asked with a smile: "What are the rumors?" Does it mean that I took the lead in feudal superstition and forgot the beliefs of a [***] member? ”

"I thought you didn't know!" Xiao Dong nodded heavily, with a worried expression.

To his great surprise, Secretary Tian suddenly turned straight and said with great seriousness: "Although religion inevitably leads to superstition and even ignorance, its positive role in history is also obvious. Even in the case of frequent natural disasters, continuous division and separation, paralysis of administrative institutions, and the extinction of the voice of chickens and dogs, the vast majority of people are unwilling or afraid to break through the bottom line of ethics and morality, and try to avoid behaviors that are 'unreasonable', or will 'discover their conscience'.

These ideas have been dismantled as feudal superstitions, and there is no new belief to replace them, which will have the most serious consequences that we have now. 'A thorough materialist is fearless,' and its use in political struggles or theoretical arguments may inspire confidence, lift spirits, and increase the odds of victory, while ordinary people can do so as a principle of life.

Qiandao Lake is not far from us, you should be familiar with the Qiandao Lake incident, right? After robbing the belongings of dozens of Taiwan compatriots, the murderers locked the Taiwan compatriots in the cabin. Then the tourists did not resist because they thought that the robbers would abide by the bottom line of 'seeking money without killing them', and locking them in the cabin was just to prevent them from calling the police and increasing the time to escape.

But no one could have imagined that the robber actually killed all the tourists, and the robber was not very old, and it was said that he had been a soldier and was a 'complete materialist'. If he believed in ghosts and gods, and had a little reverence, he would never have done such a vicious act. ”

Dong Bingliang was confused, and asked with a puzzled expression: "Boss, what do you mean by this?" Isn't it to encourage people to believe in God and worship Buddha? ”

His question made Secretary Tian laugh and cry, and immediately said: "There are more people who go up the mountain to burn incense than those who go to the market, do you still need encouragement?" The crux of the matter is guidance. However, in the past two days, I have also found another problem, that is, our 'tourism economy' has been turned into a 'ticket economy', and even burning incense and worshipping Buddha to do good deeds has to spend money, which is simply in the eye of money. ”

The temples and Taoist temples in Linshui are all historical monuments, and the Cultural Relics Bureau, the Cultural Bureau, the Religious Affairs Bureau, the Tourism Bureau, the Public Security Bureau, the Fire Brigade, the Township Political Axe and the Temple and Taoist Temple all have to eat.
