Chapter 162: The Post-Lu Zhengdong Era
Bow and thank you for the big monthly pass support of "Ahhama" and "I want to smoke a good cigarette"!
――――――――――――――――――――
Yang Lifeng listened to Lu Zhengdong's words, and said with a slight bow:
"Any social change also means the conflict of contradictions, and with the deepening of this change, all kinds of contradictions are becoming more and more intensified, the official * fall during the dual-track system, the problem of peasants' burdens, and today's demolition for the sake of land, the layoff of enterprise workers may become the fuse of the intensification of contradictions. You launched the secretary and mayor's reception day, in fact, it is better to block such an idea, right? That's a good line of thinking. ”
Yang Lifeng also felt that no matter which province or city, there is a lot of pressure in this regard, especially in the area of petitioning in Beijing, too many petitioners in Beijing have caused great pressure on the capital, and many of these things have to be transferred to the provinces and cities in the end for handling, so the relevant departments of the central government continue to ask all localities to solve the problem of mass petitions.
For the central government, each province and city is required to take their own babies home, so that the contradiction is digested in the provinces and cities, for the province naturally also hopes that the following cities can solve this kind of problem, so the following cities must be strictly implemented, and even with the promotion of the main local leaders, the black yarn hat is directly linked, but in this way, there is a problem, the original intention is also to solve the contradictions, down to the city and county situation is deformed, many local governments are not from the perspective of the people's demands to solve the phenomenon of petitioning, layer by layer, In the end, there are very grass-roots units and departments that cannot solve the problem at all, such as the town, the neighborhood office, and so on. These units and departments simply do not have the authority or capacity to address the petitioners' demands. So what will be done?
At the strict request of the superiors. In order to zero petitions and for the ranking of petitions, the only way to suppress petitions is to use different methods such as intercepting petitions, administrative sanctions, legal sanctions, and even more inhumane means such as staring at or even imposing physical restrictions, and because these measures have the opposite effect on the suppression of petitioning activities, many petitioners can only continue to petition and petition repeatedly. On the contrary, it has intensified the repeated petitioning activities, which completely treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and even the symptoms cannot be cured.
Yang Lifeng also knows more or less about these things, and he knows it very well. This kind of thing is just a matter if nothing happens, and when something happens, it is a matter of heaven -- since people have been insisting on petitioning, it is difficult to guarantee that one day it will not succeed.
Lu Zhengdong was able to consider the problem from this aspect, which shows that Lu Zhengdong is still very sensitive to the problem, of course, from another point of view, Anxin is developing very well, and Lu Zhengdong also has the capital and energy to work hard in these aspects......
Lu Zhengdong also knew Yang Lifeng's thoughts to some extent, and he actually shared the province's worries by doing this, but he also had some different ideas on this matter, so he nodded slightly and shook his head. Answered:
"Yes and not quite. Establish a "mayor's reception day" system, where the masses can communicate face-to-face with the main leaders of the city, and build a bridge of communication between the government and the masses. The receptionist replied to the specific problems reported by the visitors on the spot, put forward suggestions for dealing with them, and the way was simple, and the problems and contradictions could be resolved in a timely and effective manner, which indeed reflected the government's increasing administrative efficiency......"
Lu Zhengdong thought for a moment before continuing:
"In this sense, the reception day is a good thing, it is to do practical things for the people and solve more problems. Such measures can solve some practical difficulties for the citizens, will further promote the development of Anxin in full swing, help to improve work efficiency, and build a service-oriented government, but looking back, I can't help but work backwards from the secretary and mayor's reception day, if there is no 'secretary and mayor's reception day', how to solve the problems of the masses? ”
Lu Zhengdong shook his head slightly and said:
"What I'm worried about is that if the people report any problems, they will follow up and solve them, whether it will appear that the government's administrative actions are a bit passive, and there are some headaches and foot pains; In addition, the various functional departments of the government usually operate according to a certain purpose and efficiency, and the appearance of the interview question is equivalent to an "episode" outside the normal operation, and whether the process of returning the "episode" to the "main theme" will disrupt the normal operation order of the functional departments, which also has to be considered.
On the one hand, people are looking forward to the mayor's reception day, because on this day, with the instructions of the leaders, it can indeed solve some problems that cannot be solved; But on the other hand, as the leaders of the city, they do not expect the mayor's reception day to be so popular, instead of solving the problems of the masses found in the two days of the mayor's reception day or the director's office day, it is better to set up a set of efficient systems, so that those ordinary people who feel the high steps of the yamen can find a way to solve the problem during the time period of the 'non-secretary mayor's reception day', and can really solve the problem. If the vast majority of problems can be resolved in grassroots offices, then there is no need to save the mayor's reception day. But when the secretary and mayor received the day, I saw so many people coming, and after listening to their appeals, I felt that I might need to save for a long time. ”
Lu Zhengdong's secretary and mayor's reception day is not just a reception on this day, but a very systematic project, including the secretary and mayor's reception, including the secretary and mayor's hotline, and the secretary's mayor's mailbox.
Lu Zhengdong's idea is that the way to resolve the contradictions at the grassroots level can be resolved to the grassroots as much as possible, and the secretary and mayor's reception day, hotline, and mailbox are to establish a long-term mechanism, in fact, to play a supervisory role.
But when he attended the first "Secretary and Mayor Reception Day", he was still stimulated by a scene.
On the eve of the first secretary of the mayor's reception, a long queue has been lined up in front of the closed door of the Anxin City Gymnasium, and some citizens have even set up a bunk at the door, ready to wait for the mayor's "reception" all night. In fact, both he and Luo Fuli belong to the category of enlightened leaders. We also attach great importance to policies related to the vital interests of the people, such as land demolition and relocation.
Moreover, he has further perfected the responsibility system for petition leaders. strengthen the implementation of responsibilities and accountability; Further strengthen the building of the contingent of letter-writer and visit cadres. At the same time, we have also used various forms and means, especially the establishment of corresponding mechanisms to ensure the smooth flow of channels for the masses.
But as a result, although there are some old petitioners who are entangled in some things and belong to the category of vexatiousness, most people's demands are not unreasonable.
Lu Zhengdong briefly introduced the situation before saying:
"I believe that under the unified deployment of the municipal party committee and municipal government. It is impossible for all departments at all levels not to do a lot of work and coordinate and solve the problems reported by a large number of people, but they are still doing so much basic work, but still so many people are coming, which shows that things are far from being as simple as imagined. ”
Lu Zhengdong was silent for a while before he said:
As the provincial governor said, social change also means contradictions, and developing the economy and engaging in economic construction, or accelerating reform and opening up, is a process of constant adjustment of the pattern of interests. In it, do one thing at a time. There will be entanglements and changes in interests. Some of the changes in interests are obvious, while others are not. Each change in interest has many effects. Some effects are clear, while others are subtle. Every change in interests involves a group of people, some of whom are extremely small, and some of whom are larger, involving thousands of people or even hundreds of thousands of people.
However, because of their ability, because of their work style, because of their selfishness, and so on, some cadres do not have a good grasp of these changes in interests, and then contradictions will also emerge.
In this way, there is always an endless stream of interviews, and new situations are always in flux. Taking the first "reception day" as an example, as far as I know, more than 1,000 appointment numbers were issued. After two "reception days", there are still 1,050 interview numbers that have not been processed. At the rate of processing 100 petitions per mayor's reception day, it is estimated that the remaining number will not be processed until next year. Of course, this is still a conservative estimate, and if we take into account the new problems reported by the new visitors, or the new situations arising from the old problems, then such visits are really endless. If every month, our secretaries, mayors, deputy secretaries, and deputy mayors have to experience such a round of visits from the mountains to Jingmen, I am really worried about whether I can afford it. After all, each of them is responsible for a lot of affairs.
If we do not solve this problem at the source and build the contingent of cadres, it will be difficult to fundamentally change the status quo, whether it is the reception day of secretaries and mayors or the strengthening of the work of letters and visits. The key is people, everything must be implemented on people, and people need to implement it, otherwise no matter how good the system is, there is no way. ”
Yang Lifeng smiled and nodded:
"No matter how good the system is, if it is deformed or discounted in the process of implementation, or even becomes an ornament, the effect can naturally be seen, and even more destructive, after all, it is a reasonable and legal cloak......
The conversation between the two people seems to be very frank, and some things that are not easy to talk about in public and dare not speak in such a very private occasion do not need to be taboo so much.
Lu Zhengdong heard that at the Central Party School, some relatively taboo topics were discussed more deeply and boldly.
Directness, openness, and outspokenness are the traditions of the Central Party School.
After the end of the 10 years of turmoil, in order to encourage everyone to speak freely, the then vice president set the "four nos" principle: no hats, no sticks, no braids, no bags, and no writing materials when graduating.
Although "there is discipline in the classroom", "there is no forbidden area in research" and "four noes" have played a great role in eliminating students' worries and emancipating their minds, allowing their ideas and views to be fully expressed as advocated by successive presidents. However, the more sensitive issues discussed in the party school generally do not appear in the media.
Lu Zhengdong estimated that he was about to go to the party school to study, and the provincial and ministerial-level advanced training classes and reserve classes were in charge of the Organization Department of the Central Committee. Under normal circumstances, all provincial and ministerial units have a list of provincial and ministerial training programs. Every time the central * group * department gives each unit a place to study in the provincial and ministerial classes, each unit is ranked in a strict order, and if it is not the turn to go, it is not the turn to go, and it is the turn to go no matter how big the matter is.
Lu Zhengdong knew that he had not gone to the party school to study, and he should still take into account An Xin's actual situation and put him behind, but now that An Xin has basically embarked on the track, it is his turn......
The two men exchanged views very frankly on these issues. However, it is enough to talk about such a process. There's no point in talking about that. On the contrary, it will make people feel bored, and both of them will talk about other things in unison.
Yang Lifeng asked about An Jinshan, and Lu Zhengdong was not polite, just this opportunity, he could also talk about some of his views on An Xin's personnel, if An Jinshan operates well, An Xin's executive vice mayor will be vacant, that is. There will be some subtle changes in the Anxin city-level team.
Lu Zhengdong's idea was that if An Jinshan was transferred, then Tang Zhongkai would take over the post of executive vice mayor of An Jinshan, and You Jinzhong would take over the post of deputy mayor of the Standing Committee.
In Lu Zhengdong's view, such a change is the best, Tang Zhongkai, as the executive deputy mayor, and Luo Fuli together, will lay a solid foundation for Anxin's development direction in the next few years, so that Anxin's development direction is more clear and clear, and has stamina, even if it leaves Anxin in the adjustment of the new deputy ministerial. Or if Anxin's team is adjusted, Anxin's development trend and direction will not change much. This is also what Lu Zhengdong hopes to see.
As for Eugene Zhong's time in charge of urban construction, it is a position that is easy to go wrong, if a person stays there for a long time, facing all kinds of people who rack their brains to conquer him, there is a danger of being dragged into the water.
But this is just his idea, although as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Anxin Municipal Party Committee, he still has a great say in such personnel issues, but he does not have the final decision. The appointment and dismissal of cadres at the departmental level must be made through the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee.
The opinions of Secretary Jiang and Yang Lifeng, as the two most important provincial leaders, are particularly important.
Secretary Jiang is also at a very delicate moment, how to plan, I'm afraid few people can fully figure it out, so he has to probe Yang Lifeng's tone, according to Lu Zhengdong's observation, Jiang Ruheng and Yang Lifeng now have some tacit understanding, at the level of the government is mainly responsible for economic affairs, Yang Lifeng must have some say in personnel, if he can get Yang Lifeng's support, his plan will be more certain......
The reason why Yang Lifeng pays attention to Anxin is also because Anxin's status in the province is getting heavier and heavier, and in his opinion, Anxin has entered the post-Lu Zhengdong era, and Lu Zhengdong will not stay in Anxin for too long.
Lu Zhengdong's departure from Anxin is nothing more than two choices, one is to transfer out of Beihu Province, the people promoted by Lu Zhengdong always have to find a support in the province, with his relationship with Lu Zhengdong, he is naturally their first choice, and the people Lu Zhengdong uses can be used by him, from this point of view, his support for Lu Zhengdong is actually supporting himself.
And if Lu Zhengdong continues to stay in Beihu, it will also be a reliable ally for him, so weighing the pros and cons, he feels that it is more appropriate to support Lu Zhengdong in this matter.
Of course, Anxin has developed well, and now there are many people who want to go to Anxin, and many people who are close to him have also heard some rumors, and began to greet him openly and secretly, and they can't chill the hearts of these people......
There is no need to say such things explicitly, everyone knows each other......
――――――――――――――
In mid-November, the Fourth WTO Ministerial Conference was held in Doha, the capital of Qatar, and the meeting deliberated and approved China's decision to join the WTO by consensus.
On the following 11 July, the head of the delegation attending the meeting and the minister of foreign trade and economic cooperation handed over to the WTO director general the instrument of ratification for WTO accession signed by the head of state and signed the WTO accession protocol. Thirty days after the government representatives signed the protocol and submitted their instruments of ratification, they officially became members of the WTO.
In the past 15 years, Lu Zhengdong has always insisted that the advantages of joining the WTO outweigh the disadvantages, and although he has made some concessions and sacrifices, he has also established the status of a major national manufacturing country, and has taken a big step towards truly becoming a global trade organization, and then becoming the world's second largest economy on this basis.
And now the debate is now less important, and now it's a matter of how to face and meet the challenge.
Time flies in such a busy way, and the competition between An Jinshan and Luo Linzhong has finally come to an end, and An Jinshan finally got his wish and was transferred to the secretary of the Hedong Municipal Party Committee, and it was very smooth in Tang Zhongkai's transfer to the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Executive Deputy Mayor, but there were some twists and turns in You Jinzhong's appointment as the deputy mayor of the Standing Committee.
The opinion of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee is to transfer a young cadre from the province, and the reason is quite sufficient: Anxin has developed so well, so that more people should learn good experience from it, and then bring some of Anxin's ideas and practices to other places.
This is almost a copy of An Jinshan's reason for being transferred to the secretary of the Hedong Municipal Party Committee, but in the end, this opinion was finally abandoned because "An Xin should maintain stable and high-speed development, and no mistakes can be made".
When the dust settled on You Jinzhong's Standing Committee and Deputy Mayor, the calendar also turned to 2002...... (To be continued......)
