"Mayor He, if you have any comments on the text of the research report, you can change it. Qi no pop-up window about the city's first department store, material company, three cement plant these units of the restructuring, we can conduct an in-depth investigation to understand, will be the follow-up research content, supplemented. However, the content of the attachment cannot be changed. ”

Liu Weihong said in a deep voice, and his expression became very serious.

He Jingqiang's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Liu Ju, I need a reason." ”

Liu Weihong said: "Mayor He, you have just read it, the content of the annex is all objective facts, we just list these things that have happened, and do not make any subjective or objective comments. It is a commentary on the research report. Unless Mayor He can prove it, these circumstances do not exist. ”

He Jingqiang's face became very gloomy.

This is the first time He Jingqiang has revealed his true emotions in front of Liu Weihong, and He Jingqiang in the past was always so calm and steady, not shocked, and had the momentum of Mount Tai collapsing in front of him without being surprised.

But now, it is obvious that the content of the attachment and Liu Weihong's attitude make He Jingqiang a little unbreathable.

He Jingqiang kept his face straight for a while before he said slowly: "Liu Ju, I don't deny that those are objective facts, but I don't think it's a good way to write these contents into the research report. It's not necessarily good for you or for me! ”

Liu Weihong nodded and said, "Mayor He, it's true. But I still insist that these things are important, even more important than the body of the research report. ”

He Jingqiang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly sighed softly and said, "Bureau Liu, when I just went down to Yongle County from the ministry, many of my thoughts were the same as you are now. But now, some of my thoughts have changed. ”

Liu Weihong said indifferently: "If this is the case, I don't agree with your change." ”

He Jingqiang said: "Liu Ju, you have also been in charge of the local government, and I am very much in favor of many of your measures to govern the local government, and I am also learning from your successful experience. Because of this, you should know that there is a priority in governing the locality. In view of the actual situation in the plains, fiscal revenue is seriously insufficient, and if, according to your opinion, the limited financial resources are used to improve the social security system, it will inevitably lead to insufficient investment in other areas. For example, road construction, urban infrastructure construction, and farmland and water conservancy facilities all require a lot of money. On our way to the plains, we discussed that if we want to get rich, we must first build roads. The sooner the highway network is upgraded, the sooner the city's economy takes off, and I think that's the top priority. Otherwise, we will never have enough funds to invest in the field of people's livelihood, and our social security system will always be imperfect. What comes first and what comes back is a question that we must think clearly. ”

Liu Weihong shook his head lightly and said, "Mayor He, I admit that what you said has some truth. But I don't think that's the order of precedence. Moreover, we should not confuse the basic functions of government. What is the primary function of government? It is not about developing the economy, not building roads, or building urban infrastructure, but about striving to create a fair and just social environment. Let all the people be able to give full play to their talents in this fair and just environment. Everyone has food, everyone can go to school, everyone has a place to live, and everyone can afford to be sick. No man has only his own relatives, nor only his sons. So that the old have the end, the strong have use, the young have grown, and the crocodiles, widows, lonely and sick people are all raised. ”

He Jingqiang said indifferently: "What does Liu Ju mean is to build an ideal society? ”

"Mayor He, isn't that what we're aiming for?"

A smile appeared on He Jingqiang's face again, with a very faint sense of sarcasm, and he flashed and said, "Liu Ju, should we discuss more practical issues?" ”

Please, Director Liu, please don't be here to talk to me about it.

Is there a mistake?

Liu Weihong said slowly: "Mayor He, I'm not talking about idealism, and I'm not reciting the aphorisms of Old Master Confucius. I think that's what we should do and what we can do. If Mayor He thinks I'm talking about idealism, then let's talk about things.

Let's talk about Deng Wan'er's situation first, shouldn't our government give them special help for extremely poor families like them? With a sentence of state-owned enterprise restructuring, can you completely abandon them and leave them to fend for themselves? So where is the function of the people's government reflected? Where is the warmth of the big socialist family manifested? If the factory is sold, Deng Youzhang should die of illness, and Deng Wan'er should starve to death? There is no such reason! That's what our government should do, and if we don't do it, it's not right. No matter what the explanation, no matter what the reason, we can't just see death without help. I think there should be no doubt about such a simple truth, right? ”

He Jingqiang said slowly: "Liu Ju, there are millions of people in the plains, and there will be omissions in government work. ”

Liu Weihong smiled and said, "Mayor He, I'm not nitpicking. I admit that there will be omissions in the work of any unit, and those who do not make mistakes at all are saints. But there are some omissions that can be there, and some omissions that can't. Let's imagine that if Deng Youzhang had not been treated and died of illness at home, Deng Wan'er would have become a street child from now on, and her fate could have been imagined. Then, this is not just a matter of Deng Youzhang's father and daughter, but will affect all the people around them, and they will lose confidence in the government from now on. The impact is far-reaching. Mayor He, I think you should also understand that once the ruling party and the government lose credibility, the results will be disastrous. Once it erupts, it will have a great impact on the entire foundation of the regime. At that point, how are we going to deal with ourselves? ”

"Then, according to Director Liu's opinion, how should this matter be resolved?"

"Improving the social security system, and it must be done immediately, is the most urgent task of the current government work. Mayor He, our country is undergoing unprecedented and tremendous changes, the old social system is rapidly disintegrating, and the new social system has not yet taken shape. In the process of this transformation, a large number of socially disadvantaged groups will be created. For example, laid-off workers, according to our understanding, in Pingyuan City alone, there are not a few situations like Deng Youzhang and Deng Wan'er's family. In the future, there will be more and more other vulnerable groups, such as migrant workers, landless urban and suburban farmers, unemployed youth, etc., these people lack the most basic survival guarantees, food, education, housing, medical care, etc., for them, these are serious problems to face every day. If we don't settle these people and leave them to fend for themselves, you can imagine what kind of attitude they have towards society. The prevalence of such a situation will seriously affect the image of the ruling party and the government, and seriously affect the credibility of others in us. While carrying out structural reforms, while vigorously developing the economy, and while allowing some people to become rich first, shouldn't we provide them with the most basic guarantee of survival? ”

He Jingqiang said: "Bureau Liu, don't say that there is great difficulty in improving the social security system immediately across the country, just take Pingyuan as an example, it is impossible to complete this task in a short period of time. One of the most realistic questions is, where does the money come from? ”

Liu Weihong asked rhetorically: "Mayor He, where does the money for road construction come from?" ”

He Jingqiang frowned and said: "Liu Ju, the road is built to develop the economy and to better improve the social security system in the future. ”

"So, Mayor He, this is a question of philosophy, a question of who comes first and who comes last. To put it simply, the Pingyuan Municipal Government now has 100 yuan in its hands, and whether this 100 yuan will be used to build roads or protect people's livelihood, and what benefits each can produce, this is where our differences lie. Is that so? ”

He Jingqiang then nodded: "That's so." It's like having only one hen at home, and she lays an egg every day, and whether this egg is used for the child to eat to satisfy their hunger, or whether it is used to sell it for money, and then exchange it for more hens and lay more eggs. I choose the latter. ”

Liu Weihong said: "If this is the case, I will also choose the latter. But the problem is that the premise is wrong. This one egg, if you give it to a child just to satisfy your cravings, then it's not necessary. But what if the child is already severely malnourished and waiting for this egg to save his life? As parents, can we still insist on selling this egg for money? It's like the situation of Deng Wan'er's family, they don't want to satisfy their hunger, they need to save their lives! Going back to what I just said, if the 100 yuan in the government's hands is used to build roads, it can produce better economic benefits, but if it is used to protect people's livelihood, it can produce better social benefits. Compared with the two, I think it is more desirable to produce better social benefits.

Because our people, our people, are our most precious wealth. ”

"Liu Ju, if every 100 yuan is used to protect the people's livelihood, the road will never be built, the economy will never be able to develop, and we will only have 100 yuan forever. Why can't we use this 100 yuan to build roads first, and then invest it in people's livelihood protection after we have earned another 100 yuan? ”

Liu Weihong smiled and said, "Mayor He, please forgive me, this is still a false proposition. First, I'm not asking for every 100 yuan to be used to protect people's livelihood, I'm saying that the first 100 yuan will be used in the field of people's livelihood, and the second 100 yuan will be used to build roads. Second, if we can't establish the idea of people's livelihood first, then who can guarantee that after building the road first and earning another 100 yuan, we will be able to invest in the field of people's livelihood? Maybe at that time, we have new roads to build and new other projects to invest in, and the new 100 yuan will still be prioritized to create economic benefits. Economic development is never-ending, but do our people have the patience to wait that long? ”
