"Governor, our administrative expenses are too great."

In the office of the secretary of the provincial party committee, Liu Jun said to Wei Ningsheng unabashedly, his eyebrows furrowed slightly. On the coffee table in front of him was a thick stack of materials and reports.

In the general economic field, Liu Jun basically left the provincial government and government to take the lead, and did not interfere casually. But this does not mean that Yoo Jun will never interfere in administrative affairs. For some major issues of principle. Liu Jun is paying attention all the time, and when he finds an abnormality, he will not hesitate to intervene.

Liu Jun's habit has gradually become familiar to the team members.

Wei Ningsheng was not disgusted by this.

Although the party and government are separated, there is no place where they are truly and completely separated. It makes sense to be in charge of the whole situation. And Liu Jun generally does not directly interfere in administrative affairs, mainly to communicate with him and give a reminder. Only when the provincial government and government do not deal with it in a timely manner or effectively, Liu Jun will directly intervene.

Wei Ningsheng nodded. said: "Yes, the administrative expenses are indeed relatively large. However, our situation is also quite special, and the expenditure is larger than that of other sister provinces and cities. ”

Province D has a permanent population, although it is not the largest province in the country. But when it comes to the temporary population, it's definitely the first in the country. In fact, many migrant workers live in Province D most of the time, but their household registration is not there. As the population grows, so does the number of institutions and managers. The annual expenditure on public security management in Province D is several times higher than that of other sister provinces and municipalities. Moreover, the economic activity of Province D is extremely active, and the number of hospitality and entertainment activities naturally increases. This is one of the main reasons for the huge administrative expenses.

Liu Jun shook his head lightly and said, "Governor, if it is only the absolute value that is larger than that of brother provinces and cities, it is understandable. However, the average value is also much higher than that of other sister provinces and cities. It's hard to say. This year's fiscal revenue, the growth rate has slowed down significantly, and it is expected that the growth will continue to slow down next year, and at the same time, our expenses are getting bigger and bigger. In this way, the contradiction between revenue and expenditure will become more and more prominent, and it will certainly not work if it is allowed to develop, and we must find ways to control it. ”

Wei Ningsheng nodded slowly.

As the governor of the province, he only knows more about the province's financial revenue and expenditure than Liu Jun.

In fact, despite the proactive response measures, the global financial crisis has had an impact on Province D. This year's financial situation is much more severe than last year's. The growth rate of fiscal revenue has dropped markedly, and the situation of high growth that has lasted for many years no longer exists.

And on the other hand, because of the implementation of an active fiscal policy. The pressure on fiscal spending has further increased.

Economic growth is slowing down and the employment situation is severe, so it is necessary to increase social security spending and subsidize the expenditure of groups in difficulty. The large base and strong rigidity of fiscal expenditure also increase the pressure on fiscal expenditure.

In accordance with the unified arrangements of the State Council, the province is expanding public investment in government and government affairs in a planned way to vigorously promote consumer demand; at the same time, it is promoting the reform of taxes and fees, reducing the burden on enterprises and residents, increasing the scale of financial subsidies, and focusing on increasing the income of low-income groups; optimizing the structure of fiscal expenditure, and ensuring and improving the people's livelihood. The provincial government has also established a huge scientific and technological innovation support fund to promote economic restructuring and the transformation of the development mode.

"Provincial governors, administrative expenses must be further reduced, especially the scale of official vehicles, to be reduced. It's a big project. If you do a good job and control it is in place, you can save tens of billions of dollars in this alone. ”

Liu Jun said.

Liu Jun had discussed this matter in detail with the old man, and Liu Jincai thought it was true, and was starting to study the plan and prepare to regulate it nationwide. Liu Jun took the lead in Province D, which is also the practice of their father and son to cooperate.

Wei Ningsheng also felt the same way, and replied without hesitation: "Okay." We will immediately convene a meeting to discuss this matter, and we will come up with a set of feasible plans for discussion at the Standing Committee. ”

Yoo Jun nodded. said: "In addition, the issue of fiscal reform in the jurisdiction, I think it should also be carried out as soon as possible. ”

Wei Ningsheng's face changed slightly, and he didn't speak immediately, frowning and groaning.

The so-called "reform of the fiscal affairs of the jurisdiction" is an idea put forward by the central government and the government last year. The key is to maintain the basic stability of the fiscal system of the tax-sharing system. Focusing on promoting the equalization of basic public services and the construction of thematic functional areas, improve the system of matching the financial resources and powers of the central and local governments. Gradually establish a basic financial guarantee mechanism at the county level, and improve the ability of grassroots governments to provide public services. Standardize the fiscal transfer payment system. Improve methods for the distribution of transfer payments, scientifically and rationally setting the factors and weights of transfer payments. Standardize the special subsidy policy, which belongs to the central government. The central government bears the full amount; Where it is necessary for local governments to jointly bear the burden, it shall be gradually implemented on a project-by-project or proportional basis.

As soon as this idea was proposed, it caused a great response.

Strictly speaking, it has caused a reaction from the provincial government and government, and most provinces and cities have reservations about this idea.

As far as the specific situation is concerned, the reform idea of the central government and the government is correct. At present, the division of responsibilities between the government and government at all levels in China is not clear and standardized, that is, the power of affairs is not clear. However, financial power and financial resources are collected layer by layer. The power of basic public services is mainly borne by the county and township finances, and most of the expenditures such as compulsory education, public health, social security, and welfare relief are borne by the grassroots finances. However, the financial power and financial resources of the grassroots government are subject to various constraints, and it is difficult for them to assume the responsibility of this payment.

The reform idea of the central government is to further clarify the powers of the central government and local governments, as well as between local governments at all levels, in providing basic public services such as compulsory education, public health, social security, and ecological environment according to the different nature and characteristics of various types of public services. We will improve the financial system that matches financial resources with administrative powers.

To put it bluntly, if you want a horse to run, you have to let the horse graze.

Since the grassroots government has assumed a great deal of responsibility, it should also be given corresponding financial power.

However, it is one thing to theoretically and quite another to put it into practice. Whether it is a provincial-level government or a prefecture-level government, who is willing to delegate their financial power. Would you rather live a tight life on your own?

Wei Ningsheng's hesitation, Liu Jun can quite understand. Reborn in the Ya Nei Bar Allure Production,Please support the genuine。

The provincial governor is in charge of economic construction, and once he has no money in his hand, he will not be so clever in speaking. Only with funds can we carry out projects, and only when we start projects can we achieve political results. It's as simple as that. At that time, President Hong implemented the tax-sharing system, and the financial power was restored to the central government, which greatly increased the voice of the central government and the government. It is now easier said than done for the provincial government to decentralize financial power.

Liu Jun poured a cup of tea, gently placed it in front of Wei Ningsheng, and said, "Governor, you must make up your mind to change." It's not enough for our provincial finances to be better. County Finance. In particular, county-level finances in the western and northern regions are extremely difficult. This is not conducive to the rapid development of the northwest region and will affect our overall development plan. ”

Yoo Joon's words were negotiable.

Wei Ningsheng sighed softly. As a veteran leader of the government and government, he also knows very well that the key to the overall financial difficulties at the grassroots level lies in the fact that we are currently implementing "hierarchical finance".

The so-called hierarchical finance is based on the assumption that each level of government and government has the same function, but in fact, from the central government to the township, each level of government and government can only be exactly the same. For example, some counties and townships are not suitable for development themselves, have no conditions for development, and even restrict or even prohibit development in accordance with the requirements of the construction of thematic functional areas. Therefore, there is a certain deviation in understanding the fiscal system and the fiscal relationship between the government and the government according to the hierarchy. It cannot be emphasized that each level of government and government has its own meal, because under this premise, if the method of transfer payment is used to make up for it, once the transfer payment is not in place, there will be a very difficult financial dilemma at the grassroots level.

According to the existing "officialdom ecology", it is almost inevitable that transfer payments will not be in place. Often, a normal grant requires grassroots leaders to go to the higher-level yamen to beg their grandfather to sue their grandmother, but they may not be able to get it. In the meantime, a series of "operations" such as entertaining guests and giving gifts have not only increased administrative expenses, but also bred a large number of corrupt phenomena.

"Governor, this matter is related to the reputation of our party and the government, and even to the survival of the government. In fact, financial difficulties at the grassroots level are not simply a matter of not being able to provide essential public services. In order to maintain its own operation, the grassroots government will inevitably set up clever names and make ideas from the common people. A wide variety of charges. Endless. This financial difficulty will eventually be transferred to the ordinary people.

Over the past few years, many grassroots government offices have had conspicuous contradictions with the masses, and the relationship between cadres and the masses has been extremely tense. The grassroots government and government have insufficient financial resources and compete with the people for profit.

Therefore, it is necessary to match the financial resources and the power, and the power to move downwards must also be moved downward. Only when the government at all levels share the burden of resolving the financial difficulties at the grassroots level can this problem be fundamentally resolved.

Wei Ningsheng picked up the teacup and drank it slowly, his eyebrows furrowed, and he muttered for a long time. Only then did he make up his mind and said, "Okay, change!" ”

Liu Jun nodded in satisfaction.

Wei Ningsheng belongs to the kind of rigorous leading cadres who easily do not express their positions, and once they express their positions, they will easily not "break their promises". This is exactly what Liu Jun appreciates very much.

When Wei Ningsheng left, Liu Jun held Wei Ningsheng's hand and said very sincerely: "Governor, thank you!" ”

This "thank you", Wei Ningsheng knew very well that it was aimed at Sanheng Company and Liao Youqing.

After Wei Ningsheng's instructions, he really found Liao Youqing and successfully persuaded him to take the initiative to explain the problem to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

According to Liao Youqing's situation, as long as he takes the initiative to confess, the result will be very different.

Yoo Jun felt relieved.

"You're welcome!"

Wei Ningsheng smiled slightly and said.
