readx; Last night's group meeting of the "post-40s" was naturally full of eyes and ears of Liu Mingkun, head of the Linhai delegation and secretary of the Linhai Provincial Party Committee. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 As a politically astute feudal official, he spent most of his energy on the party congress in a few months. Compared with the two sessions of the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the party congress is a critical moment for various factions to clash and meet each other.

Although Tian Wenjian is only a small secretary of the county-level city and municipal party committee, and even some of them are not in the right name, he has become a leading figure among theoretical experts in the system through the seven-year pilot project in Linshui. From the Party School of the CPC Central Committee to the National Academy of Administration, from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences to Tsinghua University...... They can be seen behind the pilot reform of Linshui.

Although these people are not in high positions, they have made some achievements in politics, economy, law, medical and other fields, and have a certain social influence. It can be said that they are the backbone of supporting the progress of this country and this nation, and their position is even more important in this today, when the confrontation between left and right has become open and white-hot.

Neither left nor right, still so reasonable, although Tian Wenjian disappointed some central leaders, his attitude made Liu Mingkun breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, the "small political axe" after the merger and dismantling of Linshui in the past seven years is easy to form a sharp contrast with the "all-round political axe" that is in the limelight in the southwest. Once Linshui is set up as a positive example of the "political reform faction" and is widely publicized, then the Linhai Provincial Party Committee will be tied to the chariot of political struggle.

Of course, Liu Mingkun, who is not ignorant of Tian Wenjian, also knows what he is doing, not taking into account the overall situation of Linhai, but just not wanting to mix reform with political struggle.

In fact, in order to achieve the correct goal, the southwest did not hesitate to use extraordinary means and dared to touch social injustice, although he was suspected of coercing public opinion, but in Liu Mingkun's view, his demands for justice and fairness can be called noble. And Tian Wenjian did not hesitate to turn his face with Qiao Wei, who had always supported him, on this issue, and resolutely chose neutrality, which is really nothing to blame.

Understanding is understanding, sympathy is sympathy, but as the secretary of the provincial party committee of a major economic province, he cannot tolerate the slightest wavering on his line. Tian Wenjian is now a provincial cadre, and his ideology has already shown signs of disagreement with the central authorities, and if he does not readjust his work, the impression of the Linhai Provincial Party Committee and the provincial political axe will be greatly reduced in the minds of some leaders.

But people have done a good job, and the achievements they have achieved are even more remarkable, even if they want to adjust, they have to come up with a reason that is enough to convince the public. What's more, he is different from ordinary cadres, as a leading figure of centrist intellectuals, he has the right to speak, and if he is not handled carefully, he will be infamous as "officialdom cannot tolerate clean officials".

At the last panel discussion, Tian Wenjian was asked to speak in front of the No. 6 leader who came to participate in the discussion, hoping that he could understand the hardships of the provincial party committee and the provincial political axe and take the initiative to make a small mistake.

The pilot project seems to have been successful, but it has not been promoted, which means that everything that has been done before has been useless. The arrival of the research team of the Central Party School, as well as the internal information provided by An Xiaobin, had long made the ambitious Tian Wenjian disheartened, even if Secretary Liu of the Provincial Party Committee did not hint, he would not miss this opportunity.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Great Hall of the People was full of people, and the deputies gathered in the spacious, tall, and extravagant conference hall to listen attentively to the speeches of other deputies together with the leaders of the No. 6 and the leaders of the provincial party committee.

“…… Under the current complex and ever-changing international and domestic situation, the chairman's speech accurately expounded the spirit of the central authorities and played a very important role in clarifying ideas and forming consensus. We will unite closely around the CPC Central Committee headed by the General Secretary, unwaveringly, unremittingly, and without tossing, unite the forces of reform and development with unified thinking and action, gather the wisdom of hundreds of millions of people with firm conviction and confidence, and strive to create a new situation in the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics......"

The speaker was a person without party affiliation, but the content of the speech was even more [***], and I really don't know whether he came to attend the NPC or to show his loyalty. Still, it won a burst of applause that lasted for a long time. The Sixth leader also seemed to be satisfied, nodding from time to time, with an amiable expression on his face.

The reporters were invited out, and the time was almost up, Liu Mingkun coughed dryly twice, and said with a smile while looking around at everyone: "Deputy Wang's speech is very profound and insightful. I would like to add here that at present, various trends of thought in the ideological field are mixed and stirring each other, and all kinds of noise and noise are constantly sounding and demagogic.

As deputies to the National People's Congress, we must take a firm stand on major issues of right and wrong, be upright and confident, not evade, not be ambiguous, not lose our voices, not be gibberish, and strive to create a good environment for the construction of a harmonious and prosperous new coastal waterfront. After going back, we must immediately convey the spirit of the two sessions, actively resolve contradictions, solve problems, do practical things, make steady progress, promote development, and promote the ...... of the cause! ”

said a lot, all empty words, which means that nothing was said. After seven years as the secretary of the municipal party committee and six sessions of the National People's Congress, Secretary Tian has not been able to understand what the so-called spirit of the two sessions is? Moreover, they do not think that the "official representatives" and "business representatives" can "resolve contradictions and solve problems" by clarifying their ideas and forming a consensus.

Just when he was secretly smiling bitterly, Secretary Liu turned his head sideways and introduced to the sixth leader: "The next speaker is Comrade Tian Wenjian, member of the Huazhou Municipal Party Committee, member of the Standing Committee, deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and secretary of the Linshui Municipal Party Committee. Former professor of the Party School of the Central Committee, Jiangjiang Scholar of the Ministry of Education, and the highest-level deputy department-level leading cadre in our province. ”

How could the No. 6 leader not know that Secretary Tian Da, who made the No. 3 leader lose face, was even very interested in such a maverick young man, so he nodded slightly, stared at Tian Wenjian's eyes, and asked in a gentle voice: "There are no leading cadres today, only people's congress deputies." Deputy Tian, what is your proposal? ”

Tian Wenjian, who was sitting in the second row, hurriedly stood up and said with a wry smile: "Report to the chief, there are many proposals, but because there are too many, I don't know where to start." ”

"Then whatever you want." The No. 6 leader waved his hand and said with a smile: "Everyone give some applause, encouragement!" ”

The sedan chair was carried by everyone, and even the central leaders clapped their hands, and the deputies hurriedly gave a round of warm applause. Tian Wenjian cleared his throat, nodded in thanks, and said with a smile: "This opening sentence is really a bit difficult to speak, I always see someone say, 'I am proud that I was born in this land, I am proud that I was born in this country'...... Look at what this said, it's like when you were reincarnated, you could choose as much as you could buy a train ticket. ”

The opening remarks were very humorous, and everyone couldn't help but laugh. After laughing, he suddenly discovered that this scholar-type official actually didn't open any pot and mentioned which pot, and implicitly shot at the Ministry of Railways in front of the sixth chief.

Secretary Tian Da didn't care what others thought, and without waiting for them to react, he changed his words and said in an unusually solemn manner: "What you just said is how to convey and implement the spirit of the two sessions after you go back.

Here, I dare to ask you, do you believe these words? If you don't believe it, who else can believe it? Perhaps my words seem to you to be noise, noise! Could it be that different opinions, the people's hatred of [***], have become noises that affect stability?

In my opinion, if [***] is not removed, prices are not reduced, and contradictions are not resolved, the set of rhetoric just now that I put on boots and hats is all empty words, nonsense, clichés, and lies! And a political axe and political party that is fair, for the people, and confident should not be afraid of the so-called noise and noise. ”

Secretary Tian Da, who had been silent for six years, finally spoke out in public for the first time, and directly aimed the contradictions at the two sessions of "unity" and "victory" that were about to end.

The faces of the deputies to the people's congress of the Huazhou delegation were pale, and the deputies from Linshui who came to attend the two sessions with him were even more frightened and sweating profusely. The members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee sat there without saying a word, wondering how the No. 6 leader would react.

There was silence in the conference hall, and the smell of gunpowder filled the air. To everyone's surprise, the sixth leader did not express his position, but pinched his nose and continued to look at the report in his hand as if nothing had happened.

“…… Hospital departments issue economic targets to doctors, and public security departments issue fines to police. The individual's pursuit of money, and the unit environment forcing the individual's pursuit of money, make everything in this society look at money, and morality and conscience are thrown aside. Turning a blind eye to these imminent problems, they still talk about the eight honors and eight shames, and still hope to rebuild social morality?

Only by telling lies can you be promoted and promoted, telling lies and big words to the people at home, and also telling lies and big words abroad, and you have already falsely become a surname to the extent that you can't tell the truth! Sixty years, a whole sixty years, all I have said and heard are lies and big words, I really don't know how long I will talk about it? ”

Secretary Tian Da was like eating gunpowder, arresting and biting whom, and even all the deputies present became the target of attack. No one stopped it, the topic naturally couldn't stop, looking at their faces and frightened looks, Tian Wenjian continued: "The upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, and the policy of forcing the good to become a prostitute has led to people having to go crooked!

Once the values are set, it's hard to go back. If power is not honest, the people will naturally have no integrity. Under the bribes of Chinese businessmen, the entire Russian authorities and customs were in chaos; In Africa, the level of cutting corners and bribes by Chinese builders is world-class!

In the United States, Chinese lawyers can help Chinese make fraudulent loans; In Canada, Chinese is aggressively attacking the integrity system...... It is precisely because of your subtle influence that people who can be opportunistic at all costs for the sake of profit can break through all systems.

How high the so-called international status is, how respected the Chinese are, are all 'beautiful lies' created, in fact, the whole world is wary of us Chinese who have no integrity and no faith. ”

The basic purpose has been achieved, Liu Mingkun didn't want to make a political incident, he immediately stood up, and was about to speak, but Secretary Tian Da continued: "The spirit is decadent, the self-confidence is gone, and the sense of dignity is almost exhausted.

I really don't know if this kind of credit system can be established before the establishment of the Sunshine Act, which is transparent about officials' assets and truly administratively open. But there is one thing I still understand, that is, no one can cultivate a Lin Daiyu in the Ji Academy. ”

In the end, it is an ethicist, who is really free to be free, don't look at what has been said so much, the views are so sharp, and after turning around, it has turned to the less sensitive topic of the credit system.

Just when Liu Mingkun breathed a sigh of relief and was about to accept it when he saw it, there was actually a representative of the financial community in the delegation who asked-for-tat: "Secretary Tian, I have no intention of accusing you of standing and talking without backache, but as far as I know, the financial reform in Linshui is not as good as I imagined." Do you want to explain this? ”

He is no stranger to the secretary of Tian University in front of him, and blurted out without thinking about it: "President Wu, as you said, when the financial pilot project was first implemented, a total of 167 units and individuals were involved in the financial field, and after six years of survival of the fittest, only 28 are left.

During this period, some losses were inevitably caused, and the municipal finance took out nearly 700 million yuan to pay for it. Perhaps, in your opinion, this is the loss of state-owned assets, which is a very serious dereliction of duty. But you should also see that the 28 private financial institutions that survived have made immeasurable contributions to the development of the private economy in Linshui. ”

Governor Wu did not stop there, but chased after him fiercely: "Dereliction of duty or not, that is the matter of the procuratorate." I only know that before the pilot, I warned you that there are great risks in the development of the financial sector, and even put forward a proposal to set thresholds and avoid risks as much as possible. ”

Three years ago, the savings of the 28 private financial institutions in Linshui reached an astonishing 82.6 billion yuan, which is equivalent to twice the amount of all state-owned banks' branches and branches in Linshui.

If you move someone else's cake, you will definitely be held by others. As a matter of fact, there are reports about the dereliction of duty of the members of the Standing Committee of the Linshui Municipal Party Committee, which have long been sent to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and even the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.

To everyone's surprise, more than 700 million state-owned assets were lost, and Secretary Tian Da did not panic at all, but said confidently: "As a banker, you can only see money." But as a leading cadre, I have to consider fairness and justice in addition to money. Artificially set some thresholds, what is the difference between it and the 'radish recruitment' that the people hate?

What's more, the financial pilot in Linshui was originally a farmer's capital cooperative, and if some thresholds were artificially set to keep farmers out, what legal surname would there be? The tuition fee of 700 million yuan in exchange for the income of 700 million yuan ensured that during the financial turmoil, none of the 7,628 private enterprises in Linshui fell, and 230,000 people were guaranteed employment. ”

A group discussion meeting was held in Linhai Province, which made Liu Mingkun laugh and cry. Fortunately, the reporter had already been invited out, and there were no outsiders here, otherwise this face would have been lost.

Linshui has made great achievements, but there are also many problems, and the 700 million yuan is the savings insurance that they have engaged in, like the four major non-performing asset disposal companies, to ensure financial stability and "lose" it. It's just that one is through the printing of money, and the other is through the digestion of land taxes.

The No. 6 leader is not ignorant of this, and even appreciates this practice, after all, in the current environment, there are too few municipal party committees and municipal axes like Linshui.

Although Secretary Tian is not so likable and his speech is even more difficult to listen to, the level of governance is remarkable. The No. 6 leader pondered for a moment, and couldn't help but say: "The pilot is to cross the river by feeling the stones, and it is to explore a road that has never been walked before. Personally, I don't think the financial pilot in Linshui has failed. ”

"Thank you, thank you, chief."

Tian Wenjian nodded gratefully, and said with a wry smile: "In fact, in my opinion, the tuition fee of 700 million is still less, if it is not for the tax sharing system, I can't move the cake of the national tax, for the development of Linshui, I am willing to pay another 700 million." ”

If you want to pay it, you don't have that chance, and the No. 6 leader understands without thinking about it, even if the No. 3 chief can hold the boat in his stomach, the Linhai Provincial Party Committee will not let him continue to work, so he said meaningfully: "The intensity of financial transfer is constantly increasing, which can be seen from the central government's strict ban on the Beijing Office and the elimination of the phenomenon of 'running forward'. I believe that in the near future, the local government and the central government will definitely be able to find a balance and fundamentally solve some existing problems, so you can rest assured about the future development of Linshui. ”

Doing it back and forth, or sharing the cake, is not the "water storage and fish farming" that Tian Wenjian pursues. Looking at the elated looks of the other "official representatives", Tian Wenjian sighed secretly and couldn't help but say: "In my opinion, the key issue is not the tax distribution, but the tax reduction. Now a small processing plant and repair shop will become a general taxpayer, and it will have to pay 17% tax, and if it pays taxes according to the regulations, it will lose the bottom.

Small businesses are so dependent on capital that it will be difficult to survive if taxes are not reduced. If you count the land tax and other charges, it is really China's 10,000 taxes, 10,000 taxes, 10,000 taxes! Chief, China's tax revenue is not small, why can't we reduce the tax burden for small businesses and low-income people? ”

Tian Wenjian, who knew that there would be no such opportunity as today in the future, saw that the sixth leader was silent, for fear that his words would not be convincing, so he continued with a solemn face: "We are mainly based on indirect taxes, and indirect taxes are all levied from the production link, regardless of whether the enterprise is profitable or not? Do you make money or not? All of them are to be levied. If the situation is good, the company may not care, but when the price of raw materials has risen and the profit is thin, the company will not be able to bear it, so it will be passed on to consumers.

Now that the call for reducing the proportion of indirect taxes and increasing the proportion of direct taxes is getting stronger and stronger, the central government can no longer turn a blind eye. I think that if we don't reform, companies will definitely be more miserable, and people will feel that our prices are so expensive, and they will eventually blame taxes.

There is another important reason that deserves to be explored in depth, because some people will take it for granted that they are in line with international standards.

Indeed, there are some developed countries where the macro tax burden reaches 40%-50%, which is even higher than ours. But their people don't feel more miserable than us, that's because they have high taxes and high welfare, that is, after the state collects taxes, it basically solves the life, old age, sickness and death of the people. And how much do we really use for ordinary people? Most of the expenses of birth, old age, sickness and death still need to be paid by the people themselves, and the degree of suffering is relatively increased.

So much so that when Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez complained about the excessive tax burden of some local property owners, he casually said, "You are happy enough to be compared with Chinese", and it is said that his remarks were immediately protested by the local embassy of our country. I don't know what the wording used in the protest was used, but if I really used the word 'regret' to protest, I think it would be a sad thing! ”

The head of the sixth leader is too big, and he really doesn't know what to say. After thinking about it, he simply played a tai chi, and said with a casual smile: "Tomorrow is the plenary meeting, the leaders of the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation will participate, you can discuss this issue with them, as a representative of the National People's Congress, this is your right." ”

I do have the right to give opinions, but the problem is that they don't have the right to call the shots. Although Secretary Tian Da didn't have any confidence in this, he still felt so lost, lost to the extreme.
