The Ministry of Civil Affairs located in China Street is a reinforced concrete structure building with three floors on the ground and one floor underground, the most striking thing about the symmetrical building is that there are six ancient Greek-style columns in front of the main entrance, which is quite a Western-looking "door face", which exposes the true appearance of this building, which is a Western-style building, and above the main entrance, it is a four-sided long-ridged roof single-storey tower top, with a dormer window in each of the four directions. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoIn order to highlight the "Oriental style", the second floor of the building is equipped with a ring of oriental cornices and decorative arches. It is these decorations that make the style of this building, as a whole, the oriental style, but the gate reveals the solemnity of the western architecture, and in the overall effect, it is a good combination of different styles of design elements. The overall effect is more simple and heavy, and it doesn't look abrupt at all.

In the northeast, the Ministry of Civil Affairs is undoubtedly one of the most important departments, from the appointment and dismissal of local civil affairs chiefs to local civil administration, it is also the most complicated department, in the name of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is completely responsible for the affairs of the Minister of Civil Affairs, but in fact it is responsible for the directors and section chiefs, that is, bureaucrats at all levels to handle specific affairs, ministers are more often only involved in decision-making, compared to participating in decision-making in the government, in the meeting of the minister who speaks, The most important position for the Ministry of Civil Affairs is the Deputy Director, who is directly involved in the conduct of affairs.

Compared with the minister, the deputy minister cannot directly participate in the decision-making of the government, and more often exists as the minister's staff officer, but in the ministry, he is a bridge between the minister and the bureaus and sections, and his work is not to control upwards, but downwards. Responsible for tracking and inspecting the tasks assigned by the department.

This "discipline management" setting. This is due to the lack of a regulatory unit in the process of advancing decision-making. If the chief officer does not remember to ask about some matters that have been assigned, he will end up in the sea, and as a result, big things will become small things, and small things will become nothing. On the surface, everyone listens to the chief official in principle, and does not want to obey the yang and the yin, but because of inertia, the yang and the yin are in fact violated; Everyone didn't mean to disobey the chief, but in fact, it was just like that.

And as a "discipline management" exists as a "downward management" of the vice-minister. But it becomes a follow-up supervisor of all kinds of matters, and in some way it becomes a presence that is not inferior to that of a minister, but in spite of this, the deputy minister cannot threaten the authority of the minister - the deputy minister has no right to participate in the decision-making of the government, which means that he cannot directly influence the government and the governor.

On the other hand, the existence of the deputy chief, who is promoted from among the bureaucrats within the ministry as a "career bureaucrat", also restricts the power to appoint ministers, making it impossible for ministers to build the ministry into an "iron bucket". This in turn affects the authority of the Doge's Office, which is also based on the constraints of power. It is precisely this kind of balance that ensures that the officialdom of the three northeastern provinces can maintain stability and rapidly advance various tasks in stability, while at the same time avoiding the disadvantages of concentrating power in one person.

As the deputy head of the department, even if he intends to "go further", he can only jump out of the ministry, from a professional bureaucrat to an appointed official, and go to other departments to serve as ministers, so as to jump out of his single-handedly to create an "iron bucket country", as the saying goes, "people go to tea and cool down", even if he was in a department with the post of deputy director of the "iron bucket country", and then he was transferred, it will fall short, and then the second head is in the ministry, and is controlled by the minister, how difficult it is to build an "iron bucket country".

However, in the system of affairs officials in the Northeast, the deputy minister is the ultimate goal of the vast majority of career bureaucrats, and only a very small number of affairs officials who try to become politicians seek to become ministers, and for the vast majority of officials in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, they are no exception, and many of them dream of becoming vice ministers at best, or even just the director of a certain bureau.

Walking out of the office of the Minister of Civil Affairs leisurely, Kang Licheng looked very relaxed.

Throwing off his hands, he took a big stride and walked in a big way, as if he was the judge of the minister's office, but Kang Licheng is not a minister, nor a deputy minister, nor even a director, his identity is just the secretary and section chief of the minister's office, although he is the highest section chief in the entire Ministry of Civil Affairs, but he is just a section chief.

In total, there are more than 100 section chiefs in the entire Ministry of Civil Affairs, including the Subsidiary Bureau, and the most promising of them are the three section chiefs of the Minister's Office, namely, the Chief of the Secretary Section of the Minister's Office, the Chief of the General Affairs Section and the Chief of the Accounting Section.

The responsibilities of the three section chiefs are quite different from those of the same name in private companies: the chief of the general affairs section is responsible for the core work of the overall situation, such as the comprehensive adjustment and planning of the administration under his jurisdiction, while the chief of the accounting section of the office is responsible for the preparation of the entire budget, and the chief of the office secretary section is responsible for the following affairs:

One is confidential matters; second, the position, level, appointment and dismissal, authority, punishment, attendance, treatment, and other personnel training and training of employees; the third is the custody of the official seals of the Minister and the Vice-Minister for Affairs, as well as the seals of the ministry; Fourth, ceremonial matters such as celebrations, commendations, and ceremonies.

It can be said that it is precisely because of this that Kang Licheng, who is the head of the secretary section of the minister's office, will become the section chief with the highest status in the ministry, but although he is the minister's "affairs officer", he has not taught himself as a minister's "affairs officer", and even he often says to new employees, that is, "We are employees of the state, not employees of the minister", this sentence shows his character - it is absolutely impossible to be willing to be a vassal of the minister, in fact, this is the premise of becoming a deputy minister, as a professional bureaucrat, compared to appointing a ministerIf the layman is allowed to meddle in specific affairs, and the deputy director has no opinion, then it will inevitably lead to the layman leading the insider, which will lead to the failure of the work of the department, therefore, the deputy minister must maintain relative independence, and for Kang Licheng, who is interested in becoming the deputy director, he will naturally not make a submissive attitude to the deputy director in front of his subordinates, which will affect his future promotion.

The secretary of the Governor's Office is more important than the general secretarial business, and Kang Licheng's interest is also here. After leaving the chief's office, he returned to his seat and took out a stack of cards from a drawer, which were only half the size of a business card, and arranged them on the table. Each card has the name of an official in the ministry written on it.

Look at the card faces. Kang Licheng's mind kept coming to mind the masks, personalities, and expertise of these people. Then, he drew a list of personnel organizations on the table and tried to place the cards where he thought fit, a habit he had developed in North Korea.

Although he has the final say on the personnel of the ministers of the agencies directly under the ministry, he cannot get rid of this secretarial section, because he has the right to recommend personnel, and it is for this reason that Kang Licheng, as the minister of affairs, often says, "We are employees of the state." is not an employee of the minister", in order to show that he will never be the minister's mouthpiece, and firmly grasp the right to recommend personnel, and will never allow others to get involved.

At this time, while fiddling with these cards, Kang Licheng felt as if he could hear one card as if it was saying "my work is too light," while the other card was crying "my burden is too heavy", so he repositioned the cards and looked at them from the side. It's like playing poker alone.

Since last year, when he was the head of the secretarial section, he has been fiddling with these cards. As a result, the old cards with the names of bureau-level officials have been stained and changed color, but the cards that were previously arranged are ideal candidates.

As the section chief in charge of personnel, Kang Licheng is now very enthusiastic when he arranges the card face, once the card face is put down, it will be followed by personnel changes, some people will be resurrected and resurrected, and some people will be beaten into the cold palace and buried alive in this bureaucratic system. Even the most upright bureaucrats will show favoritism, Kang Licheng is naturally no exception, he will also pay attention to intimacy, but more importantly, ability, because as a recommender, he needs to be responsible for the life of the recommender, if the recommender is illegal, then as a recommender, he also needs to be responsible, although he may not necessarily be demoted, but unceremoniously said, he will be put into the "cold palace", buried in this bureaucratic system, and even in serious cases, will be implicated and held legally responsible.

Is it a sense of a yin wind, or is it an invisible fear? When Kang Licheng began to fiddle with those card faces, the entire secretarial department became silent.

Late autumn is the season of personnel changes in various departments of the authorities, and for people who know the temper of this section chief, they naturally care more about Kang Licheng's cards, and they don't even dare to cough, and even look at his office with bated breath, and even the air seems to have stopped.

As soon as there was silence, the sound of arguments in the conference room next door could be heard through the wall, where the Laws and Regulations Review Committee was holding a weekly meeting to discuss the laws and regulations.

Kang Licheng pricked up his ears to hear the fierce argument, and thought:

"? Got it done? Who's the loudest? ”

Put a stack of cards on the table, Kang Licheng unbuttoned a shirt again, and let in the wind, although it was late autumn, the weather in Dalian had shown a little chill, but this would make him feel a little stuffy, perhaps because of the fierce arguments, the weather became stuffy, which is a unique scenery in various departments in the Northeast officialdom.

Late autumn, this is an extremely important time, in two months, the year will be over, while urging the completion of the tasks of the year, and facing the task of the next year, therefore, this is the moment when the officials are most devoted, but also the moment of the most fierce debate, the young novices in the ministry for the first time to try the edge, the argument is boiling in this building.

At this time, although everyone was worried about personnel changes, it was a time when everyone was full of vitality, and the entire Ministry of Civil Affairs could be said to be a steaming whirlpool, and the center of the whirlpool was the Laws and Regulations Review Committee.

As the highest civil affairs authority in Northeast China, like other departments, all the powers and responsibilities of the Ministry of Civil Affairs are also based on the authorization of laws and regulations, and without the authorization of laws and regulations, it has no power to carry out, and its decrees will be rejected by judges. Although this is contrary to the principle of law-making to some extent, it may be the only way for Tohoku, which does not have a legislature such as a parliament.

As usual, as in any other department, the formulation of a new policy begins with the young staff of each section submitting their drafts to the Bureaux for discussion. For this reason, everyone at the meeting tried their best to get the proposal approved, and it was a battle to test the talents of the proposers, and only those proposals whose contents and arguments could stand up to scrutiny were retained and submitted to the Laws and Regulations Review Committee for discussion as proposals by the Bureau.

The members of the committee are selected from among the young and promising staff, usually the chief affairs officers of the general affairs sections of the bureaus, who represent their respective bureaus and always want their plans to be approved, so that everyone does not budge an inch on matters of principle, and is supposed to discuss major national affairs, but the outcome of the debate will also affect the future of these young people, so they all blush-faced and thick-necked and repeatedly engage in heated arguments in order to prevent their proposals from being eliminated. And this is exactly the kind of "healthy competition" that the authorities encourage, not the kind of unnecessary competition.

It is precisely this kind of open "controversy" that has changed many young people, as for Kang Licheng, he also came from this hurdle, for young people, whether it is from the formulation of the plan to the current debate, it is a test of their talent, only the plan of the most complete advocate will be passed, and then submitted to the minister and even the marshal, so that they can enter the attention of the high-level.

Kang Licheng turned his eyes to the wall with a smile, as if his gaze was going through the wall, and the voice of the host next door was slightly hoarse, this is, in the argument, he did not raise his voice, and his tone was flat, but he spoke very confidently.

In the meantime, all the other voices fell silent, except for the hoarse voice that continued, in a pressing tone.

Although he didn't understand the specific content of the discussion, Kang Licheng nodded his head again and again, thinking.

"Good job, I didn't see the wrong person after all!"

When he was speaking, Kang Licheng had put a business card in the position of "Jilin Provincial Civil Affairs Chief". And the person he chose was precisely the person who made the voice next door, although he was young, but in Kang Licheng's opinion, he already had the ability to serve as the civil affairs chief of Minyi Province.

"Okay, there are a few more positions to consider......" (To be continued. )
