In March 08, the 11th National People's Congress was held in the capital, and the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) was convened at the same time.

As the head of the delegation of the People's Congress of Province D, Liu Jun naturally wanted to attend this meeting. At this congress, Yoo Jincai was re-elected as prime minister.

Also at the NPC session, the State Council carried out its sixth institutional reform since 1982. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the Ministry of Environmental Protection, and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development will be newly established. After the reform, in addition to the General Office of the State Council, 27 departments of the State Council will be set up.

The First Session of the 11 th National People's Congress (NPC) held its fourth plenary session to hear an explanation of the State Council's institutional reform plan.

The current reform of the State Council involves the adjustment and change of a total of 15 organs, and the number of organs at the ministerial level has been reduced by four. The specific contents include: -- Rational allocation of the functions of macroeconomic regulation and control departments. The National Development and Reform Commission should reduce micromanagement and specific examination and approval matters, and concentrate its efforts on macroeconomic regulation and control. The National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, the Central Bank, and other departments should establish and improve coordination mechanisms and form a more perfect macroeconomic regulation and control system.

-- Strengthening energy management institutions. Establish a high-level deliberative and coordinating body, the National Energy Commission. The National Energy Administration (NEA) was established and managed by the National Development and Reform Commission.

-- Establishment of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense was established, which was managed by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The State Tobacco Monopoly Administration was transferred to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, the Ministry of Information Industry, and the Information Office of the State Council will no longer be retained.

-- Establishment of the Ministry of Transport. The Civil Aviation Administration of the People's Republic of China was established, which was administered by the Ministry of Transport. The State Post Bureau was transferred to the Ministry of Transport. The Ministry of Communications and the General Administration of Civil Aviation will no longer be retained.

-- Establishment of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security. The National Civil Service Bureau was established, which was administered by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security. The Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Labour and Social Security will no longer be retained.

-- Establishment of the Ministry of Environmental Protection. The State Environmental Protection Administration will no longer be retained.

-- Establishing the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development. The Ministry of Construction will no longer be retained.

-- The State Food and Drug Administration was transferred to the Ministry of Health. It is clarified that the Ministry of Health shall bear the responsibility of comprehensive coordination of food safety and organize the investigation and handling of major food safety accidents.

The institutional reform of the State Council is an important part of deepening the reform of the administrative system. The Second Plenary Session of the 17th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China stressed that by 2020, it is necessary to establish a relatively perfect socialist administrative management system with Chinese characteristics. Experts generally believe that the current round of institutional reform of the State Council is a continuation and deepening of the previous reforms and embodies a positive and prudent guiding ideology.

Comrade Liu Jun is also very concerned about these institutional reforms, and has talked with the old man many times about relevant reform matters. Some of his suggestions for this institutional reform are also included.

As usual, Secretary Liu's days in the capital were very busy. However, this time, Liu Jun's guests in the capital have changed slightly. He met twice with senior military leaders and once with Rui Huadong, minister of the International Liaison Department of the CPC Central Committee.

The two meetings with senior military leaders were semi-private in nature, and the meetings with Minister Rui of the International Liaison Department of the CPC Central Committee were naturally completely official in nature.

Bai Xiukun's invitation came suddenly, and Liu Jun never expected that Bai Xiukun would take the initiative to invite him.

Bai Xiukun is still taciturn, even if he took the initiative to invite Liu Jun, it was a few simple words, asking Liu Jun when he had time, having a meal together, and a friend wanted to meet Secretary Liu.

Regarding Bai Xiukun's invitation, Liu Jun naturally couldn't refuse, and he knew very well which friend Bai Xiukun was talking about. Of course, even if he doesn't know who this "friend" who is anxious to meet Secretary Liu, Liu Jun must not refute Bai Xiukun's face.

Bai Xiukun's banquet venue was at the Huadu Club.

This is also normal, although Jing Qiuren has retired, and his influence is far from gone. As a strong general in the army supported by the Pearl Department, Bai Xiukun met with Liu Jun and could not go to the Great Wall Club. It's easy to get misunderstood. As for Yoo Jun's current status, no matter which entertainment venue he patronizes in the capital, that entertainment venue must be treated as a huge face and receive him with twelve points of spirit. No one will regard Liu Jun's dinner at the Huadu Club as a political signal.

Liu Jun no longer has the problem of standing in line.

Moreover, business is business and cannot be completely equated with politics. In addition to Jing Qiuren's big brand, Tan Guozi himself has a wide range of contacts, and all kinds of businesses are doing well, and he has friends from all over the world. Even after a few years, Jing Qiuren's influence gradually weakened, and it would not have much impact on the business of the Huadu Club.

At the beginning of the lanterns, the Huadu Club has been brightly lit, with neon flashing, a prosperous scene of singing and dancing.

Bai Xiukun did not wear a military uniform, but wore civilian clothes, and sat and waited in the lobby of the Huadu Club in person. Tan Guozi, president of Huadu Club, personally accompanied. Tan Guozi knows very well that although Bai Jianming has been retired for many years, the status of the old Bai family in the big faction is steadily rising. From the appointment of Poplar as the governor of Province A, we can see the clues. There is a clear intention to continue cultivating aspen.

Regarding the rumors between Baiyang and Liu Jun, Tan Guozi has not heard of it, and in the land of Jingshi, this kind of gossip has always been the most. But Tan Guozi never took the trouble to distinguish the real from the fake. Because Tan Guozi understands very well that this matter, whether it is true or not, if he inquires carefully, it will be very taboo, and there is no practical benefit, but it is just to satisfy his curiosity, but he offended the Lao Liu family and the Lao Bai family in one go, why bother? Even if it is true, there is no harm to the old Bai family.

After all, this is an era of peace, not a time of war, let alone a time of great turmoil.

The political pattern and political struggles in the era of peace have their own characteristics. The boundaries between the so-called big factions and big political blocs are actually very blurred, not clear barriers. When it comes to life and death, it is difficult to completely distinguish who is who. Otherwise, there would be no so-called "neutrals".

Bai Yangzhen and Liu Jun have a close relationship, and they can just play the role of this communication bridge.

In addition to the game, there is more compromise and balance between factions, and the "middleman" is indispensable, and sometimes it is particularly important.

According to the grapevine, in a few years, Bai Xiukun will be in the post of commander of the large military region and officially become one of the heaviest members of the military. Such a bull suddenly appeared in the Huadu Club, and Tan Guozi deserved to accompany him.

Moreover, the guests who are worthy of Bai Xiukun personally sitting in the lobby must be extraordinary, and even Tan Guozi has a little bit of expectation in his heart and wants to see it.

Waiting in the lobby with Bai Xiukun, there was also a man in his fifties, also wearing civilian clothes, but Tan Guozi could see at a glance that there was no doubt that this one was also from the military. That kind of military temperament is too obvious.

Sure enough, after listening to Bai Xiukun's introduction, this is Senior Colonel Cai Shilin of the Baidao Garrison District of Province D.

Tan Guozi smiled and shook hands with Cai Shilin, which was very polite, and he would never show his philistine face because of Cai Shilin's position. But Tan Shao can also see that Cai Shilin has a lot of worries and has been restless. The commander of the dignified garrison area, a man in his early fifties, couldn't hold his breath and repeatedly looked at the door.

Obviously, Cai Shilin's anxiety, Bai Xiukun also noticed it, smiled slightly, handed a cigarette to Cai Shilin, and said, "Shilin, don't worry, it will come." ”

Cai Shilin smiled to himself, took the cigarette and lit it. But after only a few puffs, it was immediately extinguished in the ashtray.

For no other reason, Yoo Jun has arrived.

A large jet-black Audi came to a smooth stop in the foyer.

Seeing this big Audi, Tan Guozi's eyebrows raised slightly. Although the Audi was nominally a car for the Great Wall Club, it has in fact become Yoo Jun's car in the capital. All the gentlemen will remember the license plate of this car to death, so as not to offend Liu Yanei, the evil god by accident.

But it turned out that the guest Bai Xiukun invited today turned out to be Secretary Liu.

"Secretary Liu, hello!"

Although Bai Xiukun was wearing civilian clothes, he still gave Liu Jun a standard military salute.

"Hello, Chief of Staff!"

Liu Jun and Bai Xiukun smiled and shook hands.

"Secretary Liu, hello!"

Cai Shilin also did the same and gave Liu Jun a military salute. Liu Jun concurrently serves as the first secretary of the Party Committee of the D Provincial Military Region, and is nominally his supervisor.

"Hello, Commander Cai!"

Liu Jun had no color on his face, and shook hands with Cai Shilin with a smile.

Tan Guozi took a step forward: "Welcome Secretary Liu!" ”

"Mr. Tan, hello!"

"Secretary Liu is here, and the flower capital is shining!"

Liu Jun smiled and said, "Mr. Tan is too polite. ”

When it comes to Liu Jun's current status, on such occasions, he generally doesn't say too many words. After a little greeting, Tan Guozi personally led the way to the reserved box.

Several dishes are already on the table. When Liu Jun saw it, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. It's all based on his taste, and it seems that Bai Xiukun has specifically consulted with Bai Yang. No matter what kind of relationship Bai Xiukun and Liu Jun have, since they are invited to dinner, they must do their homework enough.

Looking at this posture, there were no other guests, and Bai Xiukun clearly pleaded for Cai Shilin.

I just don't know what kind of relationship Bai Xiukun and Cai Shilin have. Presumably mostly personal relationships. Cai Shilin's position is not up to the big platform over there.

Huadu Club is one of the four top clubs in Beijing, and it is naturally not low in terms of decoration and style. Tan Guozi originally didn't plan to accompany him personally, so he sat with Bai Xiukun in the lobby, just to give Bai Xiukun a face. Unexpectedly, the guest invited by Bai Xiukun turned out to be Liu Zhengju, but Tan Guozi was not good to leave. At the moment, he also sat down at the table, personally poured thirty years of aged Moutai for the guests, raised his glass, and started with Liu Jun, each of whom toasted a glass of wine, and then smiled and left, the identity of the "landlord" was just right.
