Chapter 324: The Atmosphere of the Two Sessions

Tian Wenjian, who sent away the research team of the Central Party School, just pushed open the door of the house, and saw Xiao Jingwen pounce quickly, pouting and muttering: "Dad, I'm starving to death, why haven't you come back until now?" ”

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Jingwen was seven years old. I don't know if it's because no one takes it, or because Tian Wenjian and Xiao Na don't want to control the child too strictly, so that the naughty mess is worse than the little boy. Seeing that the clothes were dirty like that, Tian Wenjian didn't have to think about it to know that she must have been playing in the mud downstairs with the other children in the yard again today.

"Wenwen, what about Mom? Look at your dirty clothes, I'll change you first. ”

The girl kissed her father, Xiao Jingwen looked at her collar, then shook her head and said coquettishly: "I'm hungry, I'm starving, eat first, and then change my clothes after eating." ”

At this time, Cortana came out of the kitchen, glared at her fiercely, and pretended to be angry and blamed: "Wenwen, didn't the teacher say it?" I do my own things, why haven't I changed my clothes until now, and I don't let me eat if I don't change my clothes. ”

In terms of educating children, it is really not Secretary Tian's strength, always so short-sighted, seeing the baby daughter hiding behind her back and making a strong face at her mother, she couldn't help but laugh and said: "Baby, my mother said, don't change your clothes and don't let you eat, let's change our clothes." ”

"Daddy is good, Mommy is bad! Dad is good, mom is bad ......" Xiao Jingwen suddenly became obedient, took Tian Wenjian's hand and drilled into his small room, and didn't forget to stick out his tongue to his mother when he got to the door.

Cortana was made to laugh and couldn't help complaining: "You, you know how to protect her." Today I was criticized again for using scissors to cut the cloth covering the piano. ”

It's not the first time I've been criticized by the teacher, and I don't know how much trouble I've caused from the small class to the small class. It was so bad that Secretary Tian didn't dare to pick it up, for fear that he would have to apologize again. Despite this, he pinched Xiao Jingwen's nose and asked with a smile, "Baby, why did you make a mistake again?" What if the teacher doesn't let you go to school? ”

"They all have a five-pointed star made of paper, and I don't have one, and then ...... And then...... And I ......"

In the end, it was her own daughter, who made a mistake and had a very innocent and innocent expression. Secretary Tian sighed secretly, and while changing her clothes, he looked back helplessly and said, "Cut it, cut it, and buy a piece for someone tomorrow." ”

has bitten people, caught people, remembering her daughter's previous "achievements", Xiao Na has a worried expression, and said with palpitations: "Cut it, right?" It's easy to say! This time it's cloth cutting, what if you really want to cut other children? ”

Homeschooling is a failure, it's a failure to the extreme! Tian Wenjian already regretted letting Xiao Na go to work at City No. 1 Middle School. After all, if she was at home, Xiao Jingwen would not have become so lawless.

Just when he was wondering whether to send Wenwen back to his hometown to let his grandparents take care of it, Xiao Na, who was cleaning up the dining table, suddenly changed her words and said casually: "Wenjian, Xiaomei is divorced." ”

Xiao Chili got married as soon as he graduated from university, and a captain officer of the General Staff was good-looking and very energetic, but because he was too busy with work, Tian Wenjian hurried back after attending the wedding, and he didn't have much contact for more than a year.

Cortana's news surprised him, and he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, isn't this just getting married?" ”

"Alas, it's good that there are no children, so I really don't know how to end it." Xiao Na sighed lightly, walked into the room and picked up Wenwen, and said with a wry smile: "Xiaomei said that it was her own reason, and it has nothing to do with Chen Hao." I just quit my job yesterday, and I said that I want to come to stay with us for a few days to adjust my mood. ”

"It's close at hand, and it's black when it's close to ink, so I know it's not a good thing to get together with Yaya."

I have to admit that Tian Da really has some truth in what he said. The daughter of Wang Ronghai's political commissar is only 27 this year and has been divorced three times. In addition to college classmates, Little Pepper doesn't have any friends in the capital, so she naturally has a hot fight with Yaya, and she is closer than her sisters.

Xiao Na obviously didn't want to discuss this issue anymore, but asked with a smile, "Husband, is the research team gone?" ”

"Let's go, I'll leave in the afternoon."

"Then are you going to the capital for a meeting?"

As one of the two deputies to the National People's Congress in Linshui City, Tian Wenjian naturally cannot be absent. In order to create a relaxed environment for Linshui to pilot reform, Tian Wenjian has uncharacteristically acted as a representative of a show of hands in the past six years, not only did not speak up, but also did not even mention a bill.

However, the two sessions have special significance for him, first, he can take this opportunity to exchange some views with Qiao Wei, who has been appointed as a member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee and secretary of the Nanhai Provincial Party Committee, Yan Zhijie, secretary of the Nanhe Provincial Party Committee, Zhao Weiming, executive vice governor of J Province, Hu Baoguo, director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and others; Second, I will work with Hong Guozhong, Sun Haoping and other old professors to summarize the work of the previous period and determine the direction of the next step.

Seeing that his wife, who never asked about his work, uncharacteristically cared about work, Tian Wenjian felt a little surprised, but he still nodded and smiled: "Yes, I will leave the day after tomorrow." Do you want to bring something? It's better to make a list, or you'll forget about it. ”

To Tian Wenjian's surprise, Xiao Na actually sat down, hugged her daughter tightly, and said meaningfully: "Husband, I heard about the cadre training point. Since there are so many pairs of eyes staring, the development direction of Linshui is naturally not so easy to change. To put it mildly, from now on, it will be the same with you and without you. It's been six years, we have done what we should do and what we shouldn't do, have you ever thought about taking this opportunity to retreat? ”

Although his wife and children are by his side, he has rarely taken care of his family in the past six years, and he goes out early and returns late every day. Especially during the reform period involving the vital interests of cadres, she was even threatened and intimidated by unknown people, which made Xiao Na frightened, and she couldn't sleep well for several months.

With the appreciation of real estate, the "century-old image" in Jiangcheng is worth more than 7 million yuan alone. Coupled with the savings of the two of them when they were working in the United States, even if they don't do anything, they will have no worries about food and clothing in this life.

Not for fame, not for profit, what is the picture? There's no doubt that Cortana is on the verge of collapse, or she wouldn't have asked such a question.

The dignified Master of Fine Arts of the University of Massachusetts, a new female surname with a higher education, gave up her career to become an ordinary middle school English teacher; My daughter is six years old, and because no one cares, she is about to become a tomboy, and she can't even speak Mandarin well...... Tian Wenjian realized that he had never thought about Xiao Na's feelings, and he suddenly felt guilty, and after thinking for a while, he said solemnly: "I'm sorry, wife, I'm really sorry, I'm too selfish, and I have affected you and Wenwen." You're right, it's time for the rapids to retreat. This meeting in the capital is an opportunity, and I will find a way. ”

Looking at her husband's guilty look, Xiao Na couldn't help shedding two lines of tears, stroked Wenwen's little head, shook her head and choked up: "It's me who is selfish, it's me who is selfish......"

Tian Wenjian was sad for a while, and hurriedly turned his head away, pointed to the braised fish on the table, and said with a smile: "Baby, mom is making our favorite braised fish again." The head of the fish belongs to you, the belly of the fish belongs to me, and the tail of the fish belongs to the mother, okay? ”

Xiao Jingwen suddenly broke free from her mother's embrace, stretched out her hand to pull the plate over, and said angrily: "I don't want fish heads!" I want to eat fish, I want to eat fish! ”

The daughter is like an angel, her domineering reaction made the little couple burst into laughter, and the previous heavy mood was suddenly swept away.

…………………………………………………… Just like the 10,000-word book submitted seven years ago, the rapid development in the past few years has brought a series of social contradictions to the fore. The popularization of the Internet has made the two sessions the focus of attention of the people of the whole country.

The public opinion demanding financial openness and transparency and eradicating the consumption of the "three publics" is overwhelming, and central enterprises and state-owned enterprises have become the target of public criticism. Needless to say, there is one more price this year, but corruption [***] has become secondary. This does not mean that the government has become incorruptible, but that people have become desperate and are too lazy to mention this topic again.

After listening to the Prime Minister's report on the work of the political axe, the next step was the group discussion. Looking at the familiar faces of the Linhai delegation, Deputy Tian Da, whose mind was not here at all, couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.

It is rumored that the people's congress is a "rubber stamp" and the people's congress deputies are a "vase," and they have only three tasks to participate in the people's congress session: seconding the meeting, applauding, and making tidbits of the meeting, so as to coax the people of the whole country to live honestly and with peace of mind year after year.

In Tian Wenjian's view, this view is extremely absurd; he does not know that the Chinese National People's Congress is the most powerful "parliament" in the world, and the Chinese people's congress deputies are the most capable "parliamentarians" in the world.

We can know this from the composition of people's congress deputies, from the top leader of the state to the head of a village. Leading cadres of party and government organs at all levels, leading cadres of state-owned enterprises and institutions, and celebrities from all walks of life who have mastered economic, political, social, and cultural superior resources account for the vast majority of people's congress deputies. In other words, the most powerful group of people in China constitute the main body of the people's congress.

These most powerful people also hold the greatest power given by the Chinese National Congress. Legislative power, personnel appointment and dismissal, financial budget and final accounts, supervision power...... From the constitution to the law, from the president to the appointment and dismissal of ministers, the procedure must be voted on by them; From the examination and approval of the annual budget and the determination of the annual financial final accounts, from the political axe to the court to the procuratorate, they must also be responsible for it.

With such a combination of legislative, administrative, supervising, personnel, and financial powers, who can justifiably say that the Chinese National Congress is the most powerless "parliament" in the world and a "rubber stamp"? Who can say without shame that the deputies to the Chinese National Congress are the most powerless "parliamentarians" in the world, like "vases"?

Those who say this are simply contrary to the facts, spreading rumors and slandering. China's most powerful group of people are doing the most powerful things, and there is no more authoritarian "parliament" and "parliamentarian" in the world.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ In the past, people in rural areas paid attention to filial piety to their parents, but in fact those who were not filial to their parents generally did not dare to go too far and be too open. Of course, there is also the influence of official or clan inculcation of Confucian ethics, or the indoctrination of a small number of village school teachers, mainly because of the power of karma. 'Good will be rewarded, evil will be obeyed', unfilial rebels will be killed by thunder and thunder, and if they die, they will go to eighteen layers of hell, these concepts are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. People who die in rural areas due to lightning strikes or other disasters are often seen as the opposite of God's punishment for unfilial piety......"

Before attending the meeting, a seven-member census team led a survey team to rural areas across the country at her own expense, and conducted a survey of 10,401 people in 72 villages in 46 counties in 31 provinces, and the results showed that 53 percent of the children were numb to their parents' feelings. Therefore, she and 30 other deputies put forward this proposal to "rebuild filial piety in rural areas".

Although those hot-button issues are avoided and discussed, it is not easy to do so compared to those who are silent or speak amazingly.

Tian Wenjian is an official, but he is also a well-known ethicist, such an issue naturally cannot be kept out of the matter, seeing the head of the delegation and the secretary of the provincial party committee Liu staring at him, Tian Wenjian hurriedly sat up straight, and said eloquently: "Delegates, before discussing this issue, there is another factor that must be taken into account. That is, China's rural areas have been in a state of poverty and backwardness for a long time, and most families have difficulty in providing food and clothing.

Agricultural production has always remained in manual labor, and there is a lack of commercial services in the countryside, and there is no place for mental labor and craftsmanship. Although great changes have taken place since the beginning of reform and opening up, social security such as old-age pension and medical care has not yet covered most rural areas, and once parents are old and infirm and unable to engage in normal agricultural production, they can only rely on their children for support. If the children themselves are very poor, they are powerless to fulfill their filial piety! ”

Secretary Liu nodded heavily, and while looking around at the people in the Linhai Hall, he said thoughtfully: "Yes, once the parents are sick or lose the ability to take care of themselves, it will be more difficult for the children to maintain, and the family conflict will intensify. In particular, after the implementation of family planning, the number of children in rural families has decreased, and the burden of supporting only children or young children has increased correspondingly. In some places, although there are certain subsidies for the elderly in single-child families, it is not enough to solve their support difficulties......"

There are so many imminent national affairs that are not discussed, and these problems cannot be solved at all in a short period of time. Tian Wenjian was like sitting on pins and needles, and it was not easy to survive until the meeting.

As soon as the unsatisfied delegates walked out of the hall, a male comrade in his thirties walked over and greeted him with a smile: "Hello Secretary Tian." ”

Qiao Wei's secretary Chen Shaohua and Tian Wenjian reacted, looked around, and after seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”

"Boss, please go and sit over there." Chen Shaohua pointed to the hall opposite, and then said, "Elder Chen wants to see you, and there are several other old leaders. ”

"Okay, I'll go ask for a leave of absence."

The delegation had strict rules that it was not allowed to move freely, and after Tian Wenjian asked for leave with the deputy head of the delegation and the governor of Linhai Province, he followed Secretary Chen to a small conference hall.

This is a special group venue, where nearly 50 people with an average age of about 68 years old, most of them with gray hair, are basically veteran cadres at or above the vice ministerial level. Tian Wenjian quickly looked around and found that the former president of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, the former deputy director of the National Prevention Bureau, the former academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the former party history expert, the former director of the State Audit Office, the former president of the China News Agency, the former executive deputy director of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, the former deputy director of the Central Propaganda Department, and former senior officials of several provinces were sitting there.

A group of post-40s old people got together, and it was really a meeting. Qiao Wei was obviously just a messenger and did not attend. And the person who participated in the group discussion was actually the No. 3 head of the Central Committee. Tian Wenjian had to stand quietly to the side like the staff serving tea and water, as well as their secretaries, and remained silent.

At this time, the old man in the black coat asked to "say a few words". Although he is over the age of six, he is full of vigor and said sonorously: "I don't think that there is a possibility of comprehensive reform at present, but fiscal and taxation reform is the key to all reforms. Doing a good job in this reform will not only be able to properly handle the relationship between the central and local governments, but will also be able to solve the problem of excessive concentration of power in various central departments and solve the problem of [***]! ”

Another veteran minister said loudly: "The local government axe is engaged in projects and manages projects, and the central government axe reviews and approves projects, and the political axe starts from GDP, so there is a lack of overall planning and overall layout...... Many relevant departments are approving the project, is the review successful? I don't think it was successful, and it caused a lot of [***] phenomena. The political axe must be reformed and decentralized. ”

The number three leader was expressionless and silent, except nodded from time to time to show that he agreed with some of their views. The atmosphere of the meeting was somewhat eerie, it was not a discussion at all, except for criticism and criticism.

The old men who are not in their position but are seeking their own politics, you speak very messily, and even mixed with some difficult dialects, but they are all to the point. In contrast, the group discussion of the just-concluded Linhai Provincial delegation was like a game played by kindergarten children.

Chen, the former director of the Office of the Central Rural Work Leading Group, was born in 1950 and is definitely a "young man" among them. Although he was often chased by reporters after the meeting, he always sat in the second row during panel discussions.

As far as I know, the total amount of land sold last year was more than 3.3 trillion yuan, an increase of about 13 percent over the previous year, and land continues to be the main source of fiscal revenue, accounting for half of local fiscal revenue. Everyone always talks about vested interests, and land finance involves a large part of vested interests. Why can't you just grit your teeth and stomp your feet and change it? ”

You can't hear what the people say, the old revolutionaries and old cadres point their noses and scold you for having no way back, right? To Tian Wenjian's surprise, the No. 3 chief actually said with a smile as if he was nothing: "Old Chen, this point is being studied by the central government, and I think we will soon be able to come up with a complete set of reform plans." ”

The old men did not stop there, but shifted the topic to the current issue of cadre style.

"The problem of extravagance and waste in our country is, in a sense, more serious than the problem of [***]. Let's reduce one minus, save one province, and improve the style a little, hundreds of billions a year, I don't think it's a problem! ”

This topic was quickly picked up by another veteran cadre. He said: According to a statistic a few years ago, China wastes enough grain a year to meet the needs of more than 200 million people for a year.

But this was immediately corrected by the old cadre who put forward the opinion, "That statistic should be the food protein wasted in the catering." Next to him, another old-timer also agreed, and said helplessly: "It's definitely not food, in that kind of dinner, the least is food." ”

The unique "scolding meeting" actually lasted for nearly three hours. Tian Wenjian's legs were numb, and at this time, a respected old-timer stood up, stared at the eyes of the No. 3 chief, and said meaningfully: "According to the algorithm of the lunar calendar, I am 70 years old this year. In the past 15 years, we have had 15 meetings and have been together for 153 days, and I am afraid that it will not be possible for everyone to get together in the future. ”

Only then did Tian Wenjian realize that for these veteran cadres born in the early 40s, the "voice of reform" is still there, but this year will be the last time they will participate in the National People's Congress and the National People's Congress. No wonder the No. 3 leader has such a good temper, and he sat here and was nagged for nearly three hours.

An old-timer held a document bag, slowly stood up with the support of the staff, and was about to turn around and leave, when the third leader suddenly said: "Elder Wang, please wait a moment." Ladies and gentlemen, you have put forward a lot of suggestions and criticisms, which are very pertinent and insightful, and can be said to be from a high position. Here, I would like to introduce you to one person, that is, Comrade Tian Wenjian, a former professor at the Central Party School and a senior researcher at the Theoretical Research Center of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. Comrade Oda, stand up, don't be embarrassed. ”

Seeing that the No. 3 chief looked at him with a smile, Tian Wenjian reacted suddenly, feeling that he was using himself as a shield, and was ready to use the pilot of Linshui to reassure these old-timers who cared about the country.

As he expected, the No. 3 chief stood up, motioned to the staff to distribute the materials, and said in a low voice: "At present, we have indeed encountered some problems, and the central government has also attracted enough attention, in fact, as early as seven years ago, Linshui City, Linhai Province, was designated as a pilot for deepening structural reform."

It was also at that time that Comrade Tian Wenjian went to Linshui to serve as a member, standing committee member, and secretary of the municipal party committee. Under the leadership of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, some achievements have also been made in the past six years. The civil servants have been successfully streamlined, [***] have been contained, the relationship between the cadres and the masses is very harmonious, and the people are also very supportive of the municipal party committee and municipal axe......"

Although the words of the third leader are not a golden mouth, they will never joke on such an issue, the old man looked down at the materials in his hands, and looked up at Tian Wenjian, who was neither humble nor arrogant, and he couldn't believe that all this was true.

Next year will be the reshuffle, although these old men are about to completely withdraw from the stage of history, but their protΓ©gΓ©s are still there, and it is impossible to do without their support.

Qiao Wei is the person of the third chief, whether he can successfully enter the normal, in one move! At this critical moment, supporting the No. 3 leader is to support Qiao Wei, and Tian Wenjian's political achievements have also become Qiao Wei's political achievements.

Old Chen, who had been silent, could not miss this opportunity, immediately stood up, and said with a smile: "Comrade Xiao Tian was the younger generation that Tie Shan valued during his lifetime, and it has been proved that Comrade Xiao Tian did not disappoint him either. Regardless of personal gains and losses, after seven years of grinding a sword in obscurity, he finally handed over a satisfactory answer. ”

Many things can only be understood and cannot be spoken, and the political atmosphere in the country has never been more tense than it is now in two decades. At present, there are three forces in China's reform and opening up, one is the "regressive faction" who wants to return to the Mao tradition, and the other is the "political reform faction" represented by the premier, but the two factions are probably not the mainstream on the existing political spectrum; The real mainstream is the "status quoists" who are content to "change the government but not change it", and they have the support of vested interest groups that have made a lot of money from this lame reform. The reason why the "retrogressors" have received a certain amount of social applause is rather a psychological projection of the people's dissatisfaction with the "status quoists."

And the No. 3 leader threw Tian Wenjian out at this time, which undoubtedly released an extremely sensitive political signal. Through An Xiaobin's channel, Tian Wenjian, who is not ignorant of the movements of the upper echelons, realized what it means to be "in the officialdom, but not yourself". Although he hasn't even said a word until now, he has been labeled as a "political reformer", and even became the first person in the "political reform" to charge into battle.

(To be continued)
