On 26 July, the Political League held a forum, in which Sun Wen presided over the meeting, and Xiao Zhenlei and Song Shijie also attended, and the meeting was attended by the heads of various political parties in China today, including the leaders of more than a dozen political groups, such as the Iron Blood Party, the Kuomintang Party, the Constitutional Party, the Democratic Progressive Party, and the Conservative Party.

At the meeting on the work report on the work of the government, Premier Song reported to the representatives of all walks of life on the overall situation of the country's industry and agriculture this year, and the total output value of industry and agriculture has increased by two times compared with last year, which is a remarkable achievement, and although I am not a member of the ruling party, I have to admit the merits of this cabinet government."

No matter how deeply the opposition parties have prejudices against the ruling party, and no matter how big differences and differences there are between the two sides, the achievements of this cabinet government are truly in front of everyone, and no one can do otherwise, this cabinet government is a qualified cabinet government, and it has solved many problems that could not be solved before.

The leaders of these political groups can't help but ask themselves, if their party were in power, would they have been able to achieve the results they have achieved now? Many people lack confidence in their hearts, and many leaders of political organizations at the scene do not know what the government's work should do.

Xiao Zhenlei smoked a cigarette and said with a smile: "Many people think that if they are in power, they can also be qualified for this position, and even many people think that as long as the people in power make the country's politics stable and free from external troubles and internal worries, they are qualified, I want to say that this idea is wrong, if it is still a feudal dynasty." This may be true, but now we are in the republican era. It would be a big mistake to have this kind of thinking again, and the country has entered into a republic. The people's minds have been emancipated, the social atmosphere is becoming more and more open, the people not only have a desire for freedom of thought, not only need spiritual enjoyment, but also they will pursue material aspects, they long for a good life, they want to be fed and clothed, they hope to have a job and money to earn, and there are a lot of savings at home in a year, not a year is not as good as a year, and these are not just a person in power who can only play with power can let their wishes be satisfied! ”

"What's the use of you playing with power? Can power manipulation lift a country out of poverty? Can the people be fed and clothed? Can you play power tricks to make the army strong? Can the country not be humiliated by the powers? No, you can't. In the future, the state's requirements for government officials will be higher and higher, and the knowledge level of officials will also be higher and higher, not only to understand politics, but also to understand the economy, to be able to adapt to the trend, and even to be able to lead the trend of history! ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Zhenlei paused, took a puff of cigarette, and continued: "At least until now, our cabinet government has achieved something that the previous government, or even any dynasty in history, could do. That is to solve the problem of food and clothing for the vast majority of the people in the country, and to solve their problem of food and clothing, I am not boasting, this is definitely a great achievement. Even the rule of Wenjing, the rule of Zhenguan, and the prosperity of Kangqian did not solve the problem of food and clothing for the vast majority of the people in the country, and those historians still sang praises of merit to him, and our current cabinet does not need others to praise merit. As long as we are worthy of our conscience, we must think wholeheartedly for the people in this position. If well done, even if we don't want to do it. The people will also ask us to come back and continue to work, if we don't do well, even if we want to stay in this position, the people will not agree, although the cabinet government has lost some people's interests in the past two years of governance measures, but let the vast majority of people benefit, the part that has been lost has actually received compensation and support from the state from other aspects, in fact, they have not suffered losses, from this point of view, in fact, as long as there is confidence and determination, The government can achieve a win-win situation for all walks of life, rather than losing some benefits to others."

After Xiao Zhenlei finished speaking, someone sighed: "All along, we thought that if we overthrew the Qing court, we could make the country strong, but we didn't know that governing the country was not an easy thing, just like Yuan Shikai, he thought he could govern the country well, but he didn't expect to make a mess of the country, I began to think that since we have the ability to overthrow the Qing court, we can make the country strong and prosperous, so that the people can have a good life, now I think my idea is wrong, we can indeed fight for our lives and shed blood, I really admire the ability of this cabinet, the great president and Premier Song."

Xiao Zhenlei flicked his cigarette ash to change the topic and asked, "Mr. Sun, how is the construction of the railway progressing?" ”

Sun Wen saw Xiao Zhenlei ask about the railway, this is his own job, and immediately said: "The year before last, we used a simple machine and a small amount of manual construction of a total length of 900 kilometers of railway, an average of three kilometers per day, last year we added some equipment and recruited thousands of workers to build 1,600 kilometers, an average of 6 kilometers per day, this year we added a lot of heavy machinery and equipment, and tens of thousands of Japanese prisoners of war to help build roads, we built 3,100 kilometers this year, an average of more than 10 kilometers per day." By next year, I believe that we can build more and longer railways, as long as the government funds are in place in time, our construction period will not be delayed, even if it rains, as long as it has little impact on the construction, we can still build in the rain! ”

Sun Wen seemed to be in good spirits and in good spirits, perhaps this was what he was most proud of, and building a railroad was also the work he hoped to do.

Xiao Zhenlei said with a smile: "Mr. Sun rest assured, the railway is to be repaired to the end, we want to build the railway transportation line to most of the prefectures and counties in the country, so that the railway line through these prefectures and counties are beneficial, not only that, we will build the railway at the same time will also build roads, highways are divided into rural roads, county-level roads, provincial roads, national highways and highways, in 30 years will be built nationwide complete railway transportation lines and highway transportation network, It is necessary for ordinary people to easily travel to all parts of the country for work, sightseeing, traveling, visiting relatives and friends and so on with little money! ”

Sun Wen's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "Do you want to build a highway?" I can do this, I can build railways and roads, and I'm very experienced in building roads! ”

Someone next to him said with a smile: "Mr. Sun, a person's energy is limited, and building a railway and a highway are two different things, which are completely different!" ”

Someone else said, "Yes, Mr. Sun, you can't do everything and let us all be idle, right?" ”

The crowd laughed: "Hahaha??????".

At this time, Song Shijie said: "The construction of highways can not all rely on government appropriations, because next year the army will go to war, military spending will be huge, so the government must collect financial funds, the money is used on the blade, but the highway can not be repaired, the president said, 'If you want to get rich, build roads first', so in order to make the people rich, so that resources can flow from places with inconvenient transportation to places with high demand, it is necessary to build roads to improve traffic conditions!" ”

"Due to insufficient funds, the central government only allocates funds for the construction of national highways, and the funds required for provincial, provincial, county, county-level and rural roads are all raised by the administrative units where the roads are located, but they are not allowed to be assessed to the people, nor are they allowed to violate relevant regulations, let alone violate the law!"

At this time, Sun Wen said: "Our Kuomintang has a mentions, we found that there are many officials at all levels of government departments who only take salaries and do not do things, do you need five or six deputy county magistrates in a county?" Do you need four or five deputy directors for a bureau? It seems that the regulation of county magistrates and officials below is not allowed to have full-time secretaries, and there are many government departments that have few real officials and many people who take money to make a living, and we hope that the cabinet can do everything in this regard! ”

Xiao Zhenlei said: "Mr. Sun's suggestion is very good, it is a spur to the work of our cabinet, and it also points out the problems in the government system, and a few days ago Premier Song also submitted to me a report on streamlining government agencies and cleaning up unqualified civil servants."

"There are these things that Mr. Sun said in the yamen at all levels are problems left over from history, because we took over the power in a hurry, for the sake of social stability, most of the officials of the Beiyang and Qing courts at that time were retained, in order to obtain their support, but also let them contribute to the stability of social order, even if they could not be arranged, they were also assigned some deputy positions, which was inevitable in that situation at that time, and now our regime is stable. It's time to address this legacy of history! You can talk about your views and suggestions."

Zhang Jian said: "I think this problem can be gradually solved within five years, government departments to implement administrative performance appraisal, officials with capable performance to stay, the ability to dismiss officials who are not able and can not do political performance, for other public servants can also carry out the relevant competition system!" ”

Someone said: "I think the implementation of the competition system for public servants can be seen from several aspects, first, age, for certain positions must be within a certain age range, too young is not good, too old is not good; Second, the level of education, the same position, the probability of those with a high level of education is greater, third, morality, whether there is a willingness to serve the people, whether it loves the motherland, whether it is filial to its parents, whether it respects the superiors; fourth, leadership; Fifth, interpersonal skills, etc., use these indicators to compare.
