When the information provided by Zheng Wenjie was transmitted to the Fengtai County Confidential Section, Chen Ke was in a meeting. The first phase of the election work was basically completed, and the responsible persons of the district party committees of all counties and districts first returned to the base areas to hold a summary meeting. At this time, Chen Ke should not be easily disturbed, but the level of this intelligence is very high, and it is not only Zheng Wenjie's report that comes with it. There was also a report from the Beijing station that the Beiyang officers who had once gathered at the War Department in Beijing had returned to Tianjin or the barracks in Beijing. And there is also a situation of canal shipping soliciting ships.

The confidential officer sent the documents to the venue, and the staff passed the information to Chen Ke. At this time, it was Lu Huitian who was speaking, "The main situation facing Fuyang is that we have not yet been able to take root in the countryside. There are still too many areas that cannot be effectively managed. It takes time, it takes cadres. Even in the areas that we were able to enter, many of them did not have land reform, but only a team entered the area. Most of the jobs available are health and education. The local people did not cooperate......"

In fact, this is not the situation in one area of Fuyang, except for the People's Party that has completely mastered such areas as Fengtai, Shouzhou, and Wuhe County, the situation in other areas is very complicated. It presents a situation quite similar to that of the Manchu Qing dynasty. All of them are centered on the county town and gradually expanding outward. Now it is not the countryside that surrounds the city at all, but the city radiates the countryside. What is most lacking is nothing more than cadres.

Yuwen Badu listened to the report and was glad in his heart. If he didn't take up the job in Fengtai County, but took on the job in a new area like Lu Huitian, he knew that he would definitely not be able to do it. Lu Huitian is already a very capable person in the base, with old qualifications and high status, so he dares to admit that he has encountered a big problem in his work so frankly. However, Yuwen Badu thought about it, and now he can be a cadre at the county level, which one is junior and has a low status?

Since he didn't have the same work experience, Yuwen Badu didn't have much resonance with Lu Huitian's work, and Chen Ke's silent act of flipping through the stack of official documents that had been passed in silently washed Yuwen Badu's attention. Seeing Chen Ke looking at the document expressionlessly, Yuwenba was very curious about what was written in the document. That's when the "Ahem! Ren Qiying, who was beside Yuwen Badu, coughed twice.

The level of the meeting was high, so the doors and windows were closed. Since the base areas were able to produce cigarettes, a considerable number of leading cadres who are under great pressure have developed a hobby of smoking. Now the conference venue is full of smoke, Ren Qiying does not smoke, and is choked and coughs.

Chen Ke raised his hand and asked to speak, but Lu Huitian paused and let Chen Ke speak first. "Comrades, let's smoke and smoke again during the recess. There was smoke billowing from the venue, what if someone came in to put out the fire? Either open the windows and comrades who don't smoke will be in the limelight. ”

There was a burst of good-natured laughter in the venue, "Which of the two ways to choose?" Chen Ke then asked.

"The second one." Smokers have said. Smoking is a stress reliever, and with such a busy day, smoking a cigarette to refresh yourself is also a habit that can be hard to get rid of. Comrades who don't smoke didn't object, so everyone stared at Chen Ke.

"Don't look at me, you quickly open the window and change positions." Chen Ke said with a smile.

After everyone changed positions, they were in a much more active mood because of the air circulation and exercise. Chen Ke said with a smile: "I got the news that the Beiyang Army will arrive in Xuzhou within a month at the latest. It's going to be war. ”

There was a commotion in the conference hall, and after several battles, the comrades were no longer as sensitive as before. The tension is gone. The reason why the repercussions are so great is that the Beiyang Army has disrupted the work of the next people's congress election.

Chen Ke said with a smile: "Comrades, we can't control when the Beiyang Army comes, we can always control ourselves." Work should also be done according to the plan. The affairs of the people's congress will continue to be handled. If we go according to the plan, the meeting of the National People's Congress will have already been held before the Beiyang Army arrives in Xuzhou. ”

Lu Huitian looked at the wide open window, "Chairman Chen, should we pay attention to the confidentiality work?" ”

"Now we are not talking about the work within the party, but about the government affairs such as elections, so what is there to keep secret? In the future, when conditions are available, I think the people should be allowed to attend these meetings. Since we are serving the people, then the people have the right to know how we serve the people. ”

The comrades looked at each other, and if there were some ordinary people sitting in a meeting at this level, no comrade would be able to accept this practice.

"There must be rules for auditing, and the observers must not speak, and not everything can be listened to. Please rest assured about this. Okay, let's not talk about that, let me talk about the work of this anti-encirclement and suppression. First, the localities and troops should cooperate with each other to clear the wilderness. Help the masses to hide their food, and hide their valuable things as well. Including where the masses hid after the Manchus came, to avoid the harassment of the Manchus. All of this has to be prepared. Of course, Jianbi Qingye said that it was voluntary, and if the masses were willing to believe that the Manchu Qing would not commit any crimes, then it was up to them. But what should be said, what should be said, what should be persuaded, we must do it ourselves. ”

When Chen Ke spoke, many people began to record in their notebooks. It's okay to write fast, some are obviously not proficient in writing, and they don't remember it completely, they are writing while thinking, and their faces are red in embarrassment.

At some speed, Chen Ke continued: "Second, we must continue to publicize the land reform and election work, and we must mobilize the masses to make the masses understand that these policies are genuinely serving the masses and can bring real benefits to everyone." ”

After saying this, Chen Ke suddenly sounded some words that he had ignored, "I would like to add that for Jianbi Qingye, some areas of the Manchu Qing Dynasty will not come back, so Jianbi Qingye doesn't need to be in such a hurry." However, we must make it clear to everyone about the Manchu Qing siege of the base areas. ”

Needless to say, not to mention that not too long ago, less than a year ago, when the People's Party first started its war against the Manchus, Chen Ke was very concerned about blocking news. Don't say that the Manchu Qing Dynasty came over, even after the big victory, they only held a commendation meeting in the core base area. This time, Chen Ke actually asked the entire base area to be informed of the incident, and some comrades whose ideas were not quite able to keep up with the situation inevitably began to be confused. The main leaders all knew what Chen Ke meant, especially Lu Huitian, and couldn't help but show a cold smile.

When the meeting was adjourned at noon, Lu Huitian found Chen Ke. "Chairman Chen, I want to ask you for someone."

"Who?" Chen Ke asked.

"Can you transfer Comrade Ren Qiying to me as the director of the office of the county party committee?"

"Hehe," Chen Ke smiled, "why don't you discuss it with Yuwen Badu." ”

Lu Huitian also smiled: "Talking to Yuwen Badu is seeking skin with the tiger, if you refuse to come forward in this matter, then I won't say anything." ”

"I'm definitely not going to come forward now, Fengtai has a lot of things to do recently. Moreover, it is not only Fuyang that lacks cadres in our base areas. And I'm also thinking about one thing, whether to place the headquarters in Hefei. If it is approved after discussion, I will take Comrade Ren Qiying to Hefei. ”

"Hey...... it's hard to find a thousand troops." Lu Huitian also sighed.

"Yes, we all have to step up the training of cadres." Chen Ke expressed profound agreement.

"Chairman Chen, I want to say something, I don't understand why you are so tired. We're all relieved about what you're doing, but ......"

"But I'm too powerful." Chen Ke said with a smile.

"I never think so." Lu Huitian said very seriously, "Originally, I thought that when I arrived in Fuyang, the conditions were much better than when we first arrived in Fengtai County. When I actually started to work, I found that it was much more difficult than ours in Fengtai County. I really can't wait to have a big flood in Fuyang now. ”

"Haha, Comrade Huitian, I know how you feel. When we first started our work in Fengtai County, with you comrades here, the work was indeed much easier. I am now looking at the monopoly of power, in fact, because many comrades still do not know how to work, and if I let them go, they will make mistakes. What about you? ”

Lu Huitian didn't think there was anything wrong with Chen Ke's words at all, there was a rare look of frustration on his face, "It's the same on my side, don't say that the comrades don't know what to do, and I don't know how to do many things." Let them do it, they must have made something. The situation now is very different from when we were in Fengtai. Criticism and self-criticism, I now self-criticize myself every day. What's the problem? ”

"The problem is that land reform is an extremely difficult work, and when we were in Fengtai County, the right time, place and people were all here, so it was very easy to look at land reform, but it was not like that. I failed to analyze this matter clearly with my comrades, and this was a mistake on my part. Chen Ke is telling the truth, for Chen Ke, land reform is just a result. The land reform had been completely completed decades before his birth, and the discussion and reflection on the policies of the republic were based on the new policies implemented after the land reform was completely completed. Under such inertial thinking, and the fact that the land reform in Fengtai County did not encounter any decent resistance at all, Chen Ke forgot what kind of superior force the party used to forcibly promote the land reform after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Later, after the local situation was constantly fed back, Chen Ke realized that he had made this mistake.

Lu Huitian seemed to really realize how difficult things are, and he said with a smile: "If the land reform can't be carried out, the people won't be won." I used to be in charge of the labor camp, and I felt that I was very capable. Tens of thousands of people I can manage in an orderly manner. After I arrived in Fuyang, let me do this stall by myself, and I realized that I really couldn't stand it......"

Chen Ke knew what Lu Huitian wanted to say, and he immediately responded: "Don't ask me to be Comrade Ren Qiying, I won't give it to you if you ask me what I want." Comrade Ren Qiying is particularly good at organizational work, and I know it as well as you. When I promoted her, I didn't discuss it with the organization department, and now many comrades in Fengtai County still have a pimple in their hearts, and I gave her to you, which is going to happen. I can't do that. ”

Lu Huitian saw that Ren Qiying would not come, but he refused to give up, he said: "Then you have to give me two more elite soldiers, otherwise I won't be able to withstand it." ”

Chen Ke is also embarrassed that he can't do it, where are there so many outstanding cadres now, and the departments with outstanding performance have long been separated, and if they forcibly ask for people, all departments will definitely refuse to defend them. After thinking for a while, he suddenly remembered someone, "Huitian, are you afraid of Mr. Yan Fu?" ”

As soon as he heard Yan Fu's name, Lu Huitian was a little timid, but at this time, it was the most important thing to get someone, so he mustered up the courage and said: "If you can get someone, you can just Mr. Yan Fu beat and scold." ”

"He should have good people under him, but none of them have done any specific work. High quality does not mean that the work can be done immediately. You have to figure this out. In addition, whether Mr. Yan Fu is willing to recommend it to you or not, I can't guarantee it. ”

Yan Fu was in charge of the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Education in this era paid special attention to personal morality and quality level, and the only problem was that most of Yan Fu's subordinates were women. However, Lu Huitian can name Ren Qiying, which shows that he doesn't care about gender issues at all. Therefore, Chen Kecai recommended Yan Fu to Lu Huitian.

After winning this way, Lu Huitian couldn't sit still anymore, and left happily after saying goodbye to Chen Ke. As soon as Lu Huitian left, Qi Huishen came in and said, "Wen Qing, you transfer someone for me." It's not realistic to ask you for ten or eight, just give it to me Comrade Ren Qiying. ”

Ren Qiying didn't know that she was already hot, and she was eating with Yuwen Badu. Yuwen Badu had a question in his heart, and it was not good to ask in public, so he took Ren Qiying back to the county party committee for lunch, and after eating, he called Ren Qiying to his office and said while eating, "Director Ren, do we want Fengtai County to be strong and clear?" ”

Regarding this "problem" of Yuwen Badu, Ren Qiying felt that it was too pediatric. Chen Ke actually said it very clearly a long time ago, and he had to make specific arrangements. Although the purpose of clearing the wilderness is to make the people suffer less losses, there is a real purpose that has not come out. Chen Ke hopes to distinguish between those who follow him and those who refuse to follow him. Ren Qiying even suspected that Chen Ke was preparing to go on a killing spree after winning the second anti-encirclement campaign. Yuwen Ba only understood what he said, but did not understand what Chen Ke did not say.

But Ren Qiying didn't dare to guess, after all, it was possible to kill people, or large-scale killings. Order has been established in Fengtai County, and it is unrealistic to execute counter-revolutionaries on a large scale. The only people who could be executed on a mass basis were those who had been in prison for a year. Ren Qiying knew that this matter was too involved, so she refused to make her own guesses. But Yuwen Badu asked to such an extent, and she couldn't say nothing. After thinking about it, Ren Qiying prompted: "If the second anti-encirclement and suppression is victorious, the base area will definitely have to publicize it well." That's when you can do a lot of things. ”

"Yes, there is a lot of work, including conscription, and the masses will definitely be more cooperative." Yuwen Badu replied.

Ren Qiying knew that Yuwen Badu was at the level of such a Taiping County Order, but she couldn't say more. When Ren Qiying followed the People's Party, he really had the consciousness of putting life and death out of the way, and for the sake of the family, Ren Qiying was even mentally prepared to die. Yuwen Badu is not, although he joined the party early, but Yuwen Badu just followed the People's Party because he was desperate. He has never experienced Ren Qiying's ideological struggle to stand up in the face of death.

"Secretary Yuwen, since we have this job, let's publicize this work. After all, the Manchus knew that Fengtai County was the base camp of our People's Party, and they definitely wanted to enter Fengtai County. There's nothing wrong with being prepared. There are so many people here now, and retreating is not so simple. Ren Qiying said along Yuwen Badu's train of thought.

"Yes, Director Ren has to work hard with me on this matter." Yuwen Badu frowned and said, thinking of the need to carry out a strong wall clearing with a scale of hundreds of thousands of people in Fengtai County, Yuwen Badu felt a lot of pressure.

"I'll try." Ren Qiying replied. Saying this, Ren Qiying was very helpless in her heart, if Fengtai County really wanted to strengthen the wall and clear the wilderness, wherever it was Yuwenba's turn to come forward, Chen Ke would have given the order in person. Fengtai County has gathered many units that are departments directly under the central government, not to mention anything else, the arsenal of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense is located in Fengtai County. The person in charge of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, You Wei, is also a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee, and his status and influence are only above Yuwen Badu. If you really want to clear the wilderness, it is not certain who will lead whom. But this is absolutely unspeakable, Ren Qiying cleared all the thoughts that have nothing to do with work from her mind, and then buried her head and began to eat.

After listening to Ren Qiying's explanation, Yuwen Badu's heart was also greatly settled. When he relaxes, he can also specialize in eating. Of course, if Yuwenba knew that during such a time when he was eating, the heads of three counties had already gone to Chen Ke to ask for Ren Qiying, he would immediately feel like a pinprick now.

Ren Qiying is famous because of her work, and she has improved the work process of the county party committee office. As a member of the bureaucracy, Ren Qiying's approach was unanimously praised and respected by the revolutionary comrades, which was not easy.

The bureaucracy has never received much praise, as is the case in all countries around the world where the central government can effectively dominate the localities. The bad evaluation of the bureaucrats does not distinguish between political positions, and the people of the socialist countries scold the bureaucrats and the people of the capitalist countries scold the same thing.

In fact, the bureaucrats also feel that they are quite wronged, but in fact, each bureaucrat who does a specific job does not have absolute power in his hands, and the power is scattered throughout the bureaucratic system. If not any other political system, let's just say that in the government system of the BJP, power is also quite decentralized in order to manage effectively. Based on the housing application problem that Ren Qiying has encountered most recently, it is impossible for Ren Qiying or the staff of the department in charge of housing management to give a house to someone and not to give a house to whom. The current land system has determined that except for the three acres of land of the people, the rest of the land is directly owned and controlled by the state. Whether you have a rural hukou or an urban hukou, they all live in a centralized manner after the state builds a house. It is impossible to build a lot of houses and waste them there, not to mention those who have a unit of housing, and if the unit does not provide housing, then you have to apply for housing from the government.

To apply for housing, you have to meet the application criteria, and the bureaucrats sit in the office, and it is impossible to follow the people around like detectives, so the official seal has become a necessary means.

Moreover, with the development of the economy in the base areas, other departments also have their own areas of responsibility, and it is impossible not to establish the so-called bureaucratic style. The BJP has done its best to publicize the functions of government, but when the people don't need this knowledge, who wants to listen to you talk about a lot of things that have nothing to do with them at all? I usually don't prepare, and I naturally don't know who to go to when it's time to do something.

Moreover, the essence of the bureaucracy has never been responsible for the people, the bureaucracy is responsible for the state power, so the direction of the construction of the bureaucracy is to "provide the highest service efficiency for the operation of the state system", and the proportion of the people in this system is not particularly large. Therefore, the style of the bureaucracy is meticulous and rigorous, and it does not exist at all to make the people feel happy and comfortable. Even an organization like the BJP is unlikely to make any fundamental changes in this.

Now that the government is in its infancy, the bureaucracy in various localities has suffered a lot under the program of "serving the people." In order to improve work efficiency, Ren Qiying formulated a new regulation of the Fengtai County Party Committee Office, and all office personnel must work in shifts to do reception work at the front desk. The leading cadres are on double duty.

The reason for this regulation is simple: the office staff is more familiar with the organizational structure of the county party committee and knows which departments need to be responsible for which work. They are in charge of the reception, which can greatly improve the efficiency of the reception. Ren Qiying grasped the main point, now not only the people do not know the operation model of this new government, in fact, including the various government departments themselves do not fully know what they should do and what they should not do. After taking turns to receive them, the comrades of the government have greatly deepened their knowledge and understanding of their own work, and the responsible persons at all levels have also been able to appreciate the hardships of the comrades at the grassroots level when they face the people directly.

Not only has it improved its bureaucratic style, but Ren Qiying has also effectively improved the efficiency of meetings. Comrades are faced with tedious work and ignorant people all day long, and their mentality will naturally be irritable after doing too much reception work.

At every meeting, Ren Qiying discussed with her comrades how to fight against irritability. Naturally, there will be no such nonsense as "promoting revolutionary enthusiasm" at the meeting. Ren Qiying said clearly, "It is impossible not to be upset, and only by solving the problems of the masses' lives more effectively can the work of the comrades be easier." To solve the problems of the masses' livelihood, we must rely on propaganda and guidance. ”

In addition to encouraging comrades ideologically, caring for comrades, and cheering up the notice. Ren Qiying further improved the way the bureaucracy worked. Originally, the comrades sat in the office, but now, except for those who must stay in the office, other county government workers have begun to personally lead the masses to go through various procedures. After the intensity of physical work increased, Ren Qiying adopted the method of shortening working hours, and would terminate the reception of new work one hour in advance every day, and after solving the problems of the people who had been ranked, there would be a certain amount of time before getting off work, and everyone should summarize the work content of the day. In addition to summarizing the work content of the day, see what exactly is more work today and what kind of work is more than the previous day. Why are there more things related to people's life and work recently, and new factories have been opened? Or what new policy has been introduced. In general, members of the bureaucracy have a basic grasp of the relationship between policy and the people.

This is a remarkable thing, not only the direct link between the impact of policies on people's lives, but also the party's influence on its own work has a more scientific basis for summarizing. Statistical offices can even use graphs and curves to calculate the direction of development after policy making. Although this kind of curve needs to be constantly modified, it is better to have a more scientific prediction than not to go out a few streets.

Having established this line of thinking, the comrades working in the government were able to effectively predict even empirically what would happen. After knowing in advance what troubles they will encounter, people will always be more likely to be calm, coupled with the more targeted organization and guidance in advance, the speed and efficiency of the bureaucratic system in Fengtai County have been greatly improved. There has also been a great increase in the satisfaction of the people.

The People's Party stresses hard work, and after Ren Qiying's practice was made into a document and released to various regions, the responsible persons of various regions were greatly appreciated. In this matter where there is an extreme shortage of outstanding cadres, especially bureaucratic cadres, there are not one or two people who have the idea of Ren Qiying.

Ren Qiying didn't know that she had been targeted, she finished eating and brushed the bowl. There is still a moment to go until the afternoon meeting. She went back to her dorm room and set the alarm clock. This is an alarm clock that cost her nearly a month's salary, and the new product launched by the local area is definitely not accurate, but the twenty-minute nap time can be more accurately guaranteed. Set the alarm clock, Ren Qiying lay down and fell asleep.
