Chapter 241: Restlessness
readx; In addition to the slightly harsher criticism of the disorganized and undisciplined county magistrate, the reply of the provincial party committee leader to the incident of reducing the burden on the peasants in Hulin County is no different from Liu Dongchuan's handling of the matter. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Stability is paramount, in view of the precarious situation in Hulin, the secretary's office meeting has just ended, [***] Longjiang Municipal Party Committee on the dismissal of Zhao Runze [***] Hulin County Party Committee Secretary Zhao Runze, Tian Wenjian Hulin County Acting County Magistrate, Li Zhiqiang Longjiang Economic and Technological Development Zone Working Committee Standing Committee, Executive Deputy Secretary, Director of the Development Zone Management Committee Order, as well as the corresponding appointment documents, on the efforts of the organization department quickly released.
Before the ink on the appointment and dismissal documents was dry, Liu Dongchuan, secretary of the Longjiang Municipal Party Committee, led Mayor Cao Weixin, Deputy Secretary Ren Ran and other members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee to rush to the Development Zone Management Committee to announce and personally send the confused Li Zhiqiang to take office.
“…… All in all, after the burden is reduced, it will be difficult for the county and township finances to continue. We have no choice but to streamline our staff. ”
After being a cadre for so many years, riding in the same car with the secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor, Li Zhiqiang is still the first time that a big girl has been in a sedan chair. But Cao Weixin's introduction made him unable to get excited, because what was waiting for him was a mess that had become a thousand people and ruined his reputation.
Seeing his worried expression, Cao Weixin let out a long sigh and said with emotion: "Comrade Tian Wenjian's starting point is good, but he has not been able to integrate theory with practice, and he is still young in the final analysis. ”
"The reason for this situation is that the organization department is to blame!" It's okay not to mention Tian Wenjian, but with the three words Tian Wenjian in advance, Liu Dongchuan is angry.
Tian Wenjian is a sword, a double-edged sword that can hurt both others and himself. The party and government bosses in Longjiang looked angry and ruined, and Li Zhiqiang, who was sitting in the back row of Coaster, laughed and laughed.
At this time, Ren Ran turned around and said very seriously: "Lao Li, you have the most experience in rural work, although the time is a bit rushed, but I think these problems should not be difficult for you." Secretary Zhao and Mayor Cao are here, just say what you have to think, just mention what you want. ”
The appointment document makes it very clear that after taking office, he will concurrently serve as secretary of the county party committee, chairman of the standing committee of the people's congress, and acting county magistrate. Given him so much power, what more could he ask for now?
Li Zhiqiang pondered for a moment, suddenly raised his head, met everyone's eyes, and said solemnly: "Leaders, it is better to let me go against the burden reduction pilot than the organization." Pull out the radish and bring out the mud, and please be mentally prepared to 'want the people's support or cadres'. ”
"Comrade Zhiqiang's words hit the nail on the head!"
Liu Dongchuan sighed lightly and said helplessly: "In the 80s, the control over institutions and personnel was relatively strict, and newspapers and radio stations often publicized good examples of the secretaries of the county party committees, organization directors, and public security bureaus not engaging in privileges, and their wives and children still farming in the countryside.
Although there is no index restriction on the arrangement of college students and veterans, the way of 'personnel [***]" of leading cadres during this period is mainly to arrange for their children to study in universities at public expense (entrusted with targeted training); The children of their relatives in rural areas first joined the army and then turned into non-agricultural workers, and then joined the civil service after creating conditions. Overall, the growth rate is still relatively slow.
The problem still lies in the financial system of 'eating separately', and as soon as the rights of human rights, affairs, and finances are separated, the whole thing will be chaotic. The power of personnel planning has been decentralized, the labor, personnel, and organization departments and establishment committees have been separated, and the conversion of agriculture into non-agricultural affairs has become a means of resolving the financial crisis, and the autonomy of various units in employing personnel has been expanded, and the arrangement of people to eat imperial grain is completely out of control. ”
Li Zhiqiang nodded, and echoed thoughtfully: "There are too many such examples, such as the education commission arranging college students, secondary school students, veterans or teachers' children to take up posts, which can be directly arranged to the school without the consent of the county editorial committee and the county personnel bureau, and the township finance where the school is located will pay salaries."
It is this kind of system in which county-level units 'issue hats' and township and town finances 'issue bills' that many people have an opportunity to take advantage of, and this kind of system of unification of financial rights, human rights, and administrative powers has provided great convenience for the heads of various units to 'change hands and scratch itches' with each other, and to install relatives and friends.
The leaders can join forces to finalize the arrangement of three or five people or even more at the dinner table. It doesn't matter if the person to be arranged is fresh out of prison or illiterate. As for the children of ordinary people, high-achieving students of prestigious universities, and demobilized cadres who have made meritorious contributions in the army, although the policy stipulates that priority must be given to them, they are often delayed for several years, and after some arrangements, they cannot go to work for two or three years to receive salaries, and when they go to work, they also have to charge a fee for increasing capacity, ranging from 10,000 yuan to tens of thousands of yuan. ”
Once upon a time, the leaders of the municipal party committee were concerned about the peasants' burdens.
Before Li Zhiqiang finished speaking, Cao Weixin interjected, with an expression full of righteous indignation, and said through gritted teeth: "There are even many wives and children of county magistrates, bureau chiefs, secretaries, or other key figures in important positions, who are arranged to a certain unit, only get a salary, and don't have to go to work at all. They take care of each other and know each other. This kind of people who 'only eat food and do not fight' also occupy a certain proportion in many units. ”
"At this point, we have no way back. Comrade Zhiqiang, do what you have to do, don't have any worries. ”
Different from previous reductions, this time it is a passive response. The promise made by the county magistrate Tashiro of 25 percent of last year's average income, as well as the "Guidelines for Reducing the Burden on Peasants" for fear that the world would not be chaotic, suddenly pushed the Hulin County Party Committee and the Longjiang City Party Committee to the edge of the precipice.
In total, the money was handed over to the state treasury and the three levels of departments were maintained, forcing the leaders at the city and county levels to make up their minds to downsizing their personnel.
From the bottom of his heart, Li Zhiqiang admires the courage of Magistrate Tashiro very much. But I feel sorry for his reckless behavior of leaving no way back. After all, what he did was too out of line, if it weren't for the trump card of Southern Technology, Liu Dongchuan would never compromise like now.
At the same time, even the provincial party committee labeled him as "disorganized and undisciplined", which meant that his political life was over. Is it worth it to be the enemy of thousands of Hulin cadres and to cut off their political lives in this way?
Just when Li Zhiqiang was full of emotion, Cao Weixin suddenly turned around and said very seriously: "Comrade Zhiqiang, the work of reducing the burden is indeed very important, but economic construction cannot be pulled down either. Company + farmers are a good way for people to get rid of poverty and become rich, you have to care more about Southern Biotechnology Group. ”
All the eyebrows were burned, Cao Weixin still remembered his Southern Science and Technology Group, Liu Dongchuan suddenly frowned, staring at Li Zhiqiang's eyes, wondering what he would say.
To everyone's surprise, Li Zhiqiang didn't give face at all, but said with a little disdain: "Mayor Cao, in my opinion, company + farmers are not a new thing. For example, grain trading companies + farmers, cotton companies + farmers, oil companies + farmers, have been engaged in more than ten years.
The grain trading company, cotton company, and oil company are all state-owned enterprises, and the rice, wheat, corn, cotton, rapeseed, and peanuts grown by the peasants are sold to these enterprises for operation. However, the practice of the past few decades has proved that this kind of company + peasant household path has not made the peasants rich, on the contrary, they have become poorer and poorer. ”
Looking at Cao Weixin's uncertain face, Ren Ran was happy for a while, and couldn't help but say: "Lao Li, don't be so arbitrary? ”
"It's not that I'm arbitrary, it's the facts."
Li Zhiqiang didn't care so much, and when he saw Liu Dongchuan signaling him to continue, he held the back of the chair in the front row and talked eloquently: "What is the purpose of business management?" It's about maximizing benefits. When an enterprise has excess profits, it is possible to give farmers an average social profit; When the enterprise obtains average social profits, it is possible for farmers to maintain their capital and small profits; When enterprises can only make small profits or lose money, they will undoubtedly pass on all the risks to the farmers.
This year, the food system in our province has turned a loss and increased by 2.2 billion yuan, how did this profit come about? The state stipulates that the purchase price of rice is 0.54 yuan per catty, but grain enterprises only purchase grain at a price of 0.4 yuan per catty, depriving farmers of 0.14 yuan per catty.
The state gave orders to the peasants to let the peasants produce grain, and finally the state and state-owned enterprises defaulted, resulting in a loss of 0.08 yuan for every 1 catty of grain produced by the peasants, how could the peasants get rich? Even the political axe and state-owned enterprises do not keep their promises, how can we expect private enterprises to be trustworthy? The state and state-owned enterprises treat farmers in this way, let alone private enterprises and private enterprises? ”
Only then did everyone remember that the person in front of them had been sitting on the cold bench in the Food Bureau for several years. The topic was a little sensitive, Liu Dongchuan hurriedly coughed twice, looked at the scenery outside the window, and said casually: "It's almost here, let's get ready." ”
The appointment document was read out in the conference room on the fourth floor of the county party committee, and except for Deputy Secretary Tian, who was convicted, none of the heads of the four sets of teams were absent. After Liu Dongchuan, on behalf of the Longjiang City CPC Committee, read out the appointment and dismissal orders of Zhao Runze and Li Zhiqiang, he mobilized the peasants in Hulin County for the next step in reducing their burdens.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the leaders of the municipal party committee attached great importance to it, so that the cadres of Hulin realized that this time it was really coming. As soon as Liu Dongchuan, Cao Weixin, Ren Ran and other city leaders were sent away, they rushed to report to the newly appointed Secretary Li.
The secretary of the county party committee, the director of the Standing Committee of the County People's Congress, and the acting county magistrate are really rare in the history of Longjiang. Either how can there be "don't run, don't send, stay put; only run but not send, move horizontally; Run diligently and send more, promote and reuse" What about the 24-character mantra?
It's a pity that everyone pounced. Li Zhiqiang was neither in the compound of the county party committee nor at the guest house of the county party committee, but quietly took a taxi and went to the county people's hospital to visit Deputy Secretary Tian, who was "unwell".
"Lao Li, why are you here?"
Deputy Secretary Tian was in a good mental state, walking around the hospital in a hospital gown, looking at his casual appearance, Li Zhiqiang's anger did not come anywhere.
"I'm here to wipe your ass." Li Zhiqiang snorted coldly, and followed him to the Gaogan ward with an expressionless face.
Tian Wenjian was stunned, then reacted, and while handing over a cigarette, he asked lightly: "The surname Zhao ran away?" ”
"He went to the development zone to pick up my stall, and by the way, he took charge of the affairs in the naval warehouse."
"It's kind of interesting." Tian Wenjian closed the door and beckoned him to sit down, while asking with a smile: "Secretary Li, how is the organization going to send me?" ”
"Remove the acting county magistrate and retain the party post of deputy secretary of the county party committee. It is first kept in the hospital, and then treated after the impact is eliminated. ”
Tian Wenjian nodded, and asked again, "Then can I transfer to another hospital?" ”
Li Zhiqiang was happy, pointed at his nose and scolded with a smile: "Tell you clearly, it is an organizational requirement to let you be hospitalized, and there is no way to transfer to the hospital." Regret it, right? I knew it now, so why bother in the first place. ”
Tian Wenjian sat down, with a very innocent and innocent expression, and said pitifully: "It's okay to shuanggui, it's okay to transfer it to the procuratorate for investigation, what's the matter if you stay in the hospital like this?" No wonder the US imperialists always accuse us of not attaching importance to human rights, and I believe it today. ”
"Come on, you know what you do. If you really pursue it, it is not impossible to give you the big hat of 'undermining stability and unity' and 'provoking contradictions between cadres and the masses'. ”
"Is it that serious?"
"That's up to the person."
Li Zhiqiang didn't think that the person in front of him would fight a battle that he was not sure of, so he suddenly changed his words and asked with a smile: "Xiao Tian, don't tell me that you really don't care about killing and burying?" ”
"You're really right, I'm just going to kill or bury it this time."
Tian Wenjian's face was straight, he stared at his eyes, and said very seriously: "Lao Li, I have created all the conditions for you, as for whether you can do something or not, it depends on you." ”
"How did you know I was coming?" Li Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment and couldn't help asking.
"Actually, it doesn't matter who comes."
Tian Wenjian took a deep puff of his cigarette, exhaled the pale green smoke, and said meaningfully: "The peasants' burden reduction is shouted every year, every month. It is not uncommon for party members and cadres with a clear conscience or people's congress deputies to write with tears in their eyes, and the central leaders to give emotional instructions. But the result? A brief and stormy reform has turned out to be a farce purely to cope with the inspection of the superiors.
The reason for this situation is that the motivation or pressure to reduce the burden does not mainly come from the peasants, but from the central government, which is a top-down and local government axe to reduce the burden in order to cope with the difference. The vast majority of the interests of the two sides of the game, the central and local governments, are identical, and there is no real motivation to continue the game.
To put it bluntly, what is needed above is: your local political axe cannot be overdone and affect stability; All the local government needs is an explanation to the above surname. This is destined to reduce the burden again and again like the wind of the short-term surname, the reason why it has to make a "huge momentum" is obviously to show the central government. ”
How could Li Zhiqiang not understand this, after thinking about it, he asked with a wry smile: "So you fanned the flames everywhere and mobilized the masses to solve the problem from the source?" ”
"The first thing to state is that this scratching idea is the brainchild of Hu Eo. It's just that when I saw that the conditions in all aspects were relatively mature, I used it. ”
Tian Wenjian knocked on the cigarette ash and said proudly: "In the past, the burden reduction was rewarded from the top down, and the purpose was changed from "burden reduction" to "coping". This means that even if we do our best, we will be isolated in the process of reducing the burden.
If we dare not mobilize the strength of the broad masses of peasants, then we will become alone. Only by allowing more courageous and conscious peasants to take active action, on the one hand, take the initiative to study and master policies and regulations, bravely take up legal weapons, and protect their legitimate interests in accordance with the law; On the one hand, we should take the initiative to adjust the industrial structure, actively go out to work, and strive to increase our income. ”
The economic foundation determines the superstructure, and Tian Wenjian's trick of drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle is of great significance to promoting the next personnel streamlining work.
Li Zhiqiang pondered for a moment, suddenly patted him on the shoulder, and said with a wry smile: "Xiao Tian, you roasted me on the fire." ”
"Shoot when it's time to strike, haven't you been waiting for this day for a long time?" Tian Wenjian stood up, clasped his hands, and said sincerely: "Don't miss the opportunity, the time will never come." If you don't give it a go, you'll regret it for the rest of your life. ”
Participating in the work for more than 20 years, it is really the first time to have such an opportunity like now, Li Zhiqiang gritted his teeth, and while pulling Tian Wenjian to sit down, he said impatiently: "I just came, my eyes are dark, give me a briefing on the situation." ”
Tian Wenjian nodded, and said with unusual solemnity: "First, the personnel of departments at all levels are seriously overstaffed, and the seven aunts and eight aunts can't solve the problem without a one-size-fits-all approach. The second is arrears, and many townships and towns are heavily indebted, with less principal and more interest, no principal to earn interest, interest rates on the rise, accounts payable turned into usury, and bank loans turned into usury...... There are all kinds of strange things. Among the creditors are county-level leaders, members of local triads, and honest peasants who sell grain and cannot get money to turn into debts, and the largest proportion of them are rural cadres.
I don't need to say that I am tired of grain procurement, you are an expert, you know better than me. The most urgent task at the moment is the issue of education, because over the years the peasants have paid education surcharges, but students still have to pay a lot of tuition fees to go to school. The annual level of primary school is not less than 600 yuan, and the annual level of junior high school students is not less than 1,200 yuan. The so-called nine-year compulsory education has long existed in name only.
In addition, the arrears of peasants' books submitted by various townships and towns must not be taken seriously. However, according to my investigation, the actual arrears of the peasants are less than one-third of the money on the books, and the other two-thirds are false accounts. At the same time, half of the one-third arrears belong to the dead debts of the debtors who have been empty for many years and cannot be recovered. Half of the farmers did not admit their accounts at all.
Many townships and towns have also gone to court to fight lawsuits against farmers, trying to collect the arrears owed by farmers over the years through legal channels, and have fought a total of 12 lawsuits, and have not won a single lawsuit. ”
There is no doubt that those arrears are legally untenable, and to put it bluntly, they are arbitrary fees and apportionments. Li Zhiqiang pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "I will also go down for a turn from tomorrow, and at the same time let Li Guoan and Sun Guoyong get to the bottom and start with grain purchases and usury." ”
"Shang Fang's sword is in your hand, you can do it."
Tian Wenjian stretched his waist, yawned and continued: "Tiger Forest Tiger Forest, chickens and dogs are restless, Teacher Ma is going to be blind." ”
