Lu Zhengdong saw that the two of them looked contemplative, and smiled:

"Other poor and backward provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities in the western region have a small base and a weak foundation, and if they have such an opportunity, they will develop very quickly, and some provinces and municipalities in the central part of the country have also taken a ride on the large-scale development of the western region, and they have also made great efforts; in fact, Xihe, as the most important province in the western region, is actually under great pressure......

In fact, Lu Zhengdong knew very well that if it developed faster and better than Xihe, Xihe would certainly not be able to sit still, and this would force Xihe and other western provinces and municipalities to make great efforts to improve their work in this respect.

Of course, it is easier said than done, but it is not easy for Xihe to change his concept. It is also a very specific and complex task to solve the various difficulties faced by Xihe. This requires a lot of patience and perseverance.

It is estimated that both the guests and the host don't care much about what is actually eaten at this meal, but this meal has a lot of gains for both parties.

At dinner, Jiang Zhiyang also invited Lu Zhengdong to Xihe to take a walk and have a look, and Lu Zhengdong readily agreed to Jiang Zhiyang's invitation -- no matter how familiar he was with Xihe, Xihe, as an important province in the west, could not pass through the door.

However, even if you go down to investigate, I am afraid that some words are not as thorough as today, Jiang Zhiyang and Jiang Dongyuan were ordered to come, and Lu Zhengdong also hopes that these words can be valued by the main leaders of Xihe.

"Yonghang, I read your report on supporting the construction of a number of state-level characteristic industrial projects in the western region, how many conditions do you think are relatively mature?"

Lu Zhengdong asked without raising his head while flipping through the Chinese jiàn in his hand.

"Director Lu, this batch is all from the newspapers run by the western provinces and provinces. In the early stage, we have reviewed and approved them one by one. Cut down some projects that have no name. The rest of the group are all more mature than Jiji, and the comrades in the group have also demonstrated and conducted on-the-spot reviews of these projects one by one, and they basically meet the standards. ”

Jiang Yonghang, head of the economic development group under the Western Affairs Office, said cautiously.

Lu Zhengdong groaned for a moment and raised his head:

"I've read the information in these newspapers, and there are still a lot of false names, if it's just for the sake of characteristics, I don't think it's meaningful, and it doesn't play a role when it is built. Whether the local government matching funds keep up, how high the efficiency of use, and how much it has played a role in promoting the local industrial economy, we can't review these and subsidize the funds, then we will ignore it. ”

Lu Zhengdong shook his head, thought for a while and said:

"This batch of project subsidies will be put on hold for the time being, and the projects reported will be sorted out again, and I will contact the inspection team and ask them to send people to your group to conduct an unannounced investigation of last year's pilot places and the places where these projects were declared. Come up with real results. ”

Jiang Yonghang's scalp was numb for a while, and it seemed that Director Lu was going to move seriously. The joint unannounced investigation with the inspection team is a signal, it seems that he is very satisfied with the projects reported by the provinces, but this investigation may bring out a lot of problems.

Jiang Yonghang is also an old man who has been immersed in the National Development and Reform Commission for many years, and the Western Office is actually a relatively targeted agency of the National Development and Reform Commission, in fact, the use of some project funds is quite formal on the surface, but it is only to cope with the inspection above, and it is inevitable that there will be problems. Although the main responsibility is not on himself but on the local government, this is really found to be a problem, and his face is also gloomy.

"Director Lu, I'm afraid that the inspection office is also busy during this time, and these projects are not heavy projects......"

Jiang Yonghang hesitated, but still said.

Lu Zhengdong nodded:

"Investment in public infrastructure, that is the focus of the use of funds, but also an important measure to improve the development conditions of the west, the amount of investment in these projects is indeed not comparable with those key projects, but in my opinion the development of characteristic industries is more important than some industrial projects, the real characteristics are the ones that have lasting vitality, and only with lasting vitality can they develop sustainably, and for the western region where the economic conditions are relatively fragile, such industries are needed as a basic support ......"

Lu Zhengdong said calmly:

"This matter must be implemented as soon as possible, you immediately go and arrange manpower, divide into several groups, and strive to go down this week, and after a week I will see their research reports, not the reports of the provinces themselves, but the research reports of each group."

Jiang Yonghang heard that Lu Zhengdong's attitude towards this matter seemed to be very dissatisfied, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly agreed:

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away, and do my best to implement the personnel."

After Jiang Yonghang left, Lu Zhengdong couldn't help but get up from his chair and stand by the window in contemplation.

When he was in Mianxi, he had a group of cadres who had been exchanged, and now he is in Wuxin City, Qiandong, in the west, and this time he went to Beijing to find him, and the purpose was very simple, mainly to strive for special industrial projects for the city where he was located, and it was also in the batch of projects reported by Jiang Yonghang just now, this project has been reviewed and approved, and it stands to reason that there is no problem.

However, during the conversation, Lu Zhengdong heard that they had also inspected the situation of the pilot projects in other provinces and municipalities in the western region, and found that there were many problems, and that many localities had deliberately fabricated the contents of the projects in order to obtain financial subsidies from the state to include them in the special industries, and even the local matching funds were fictitious.

This news made Lu Zhengdong a little uncertain at first, after all, any project is porridge and few monks, and there is also a great competition between local places, whether to take this opportunity to drive down a group of competitors.

However, Lu Zhengdong quickly learned about the pilot place last year through his own channels, and there were indeed many problems.

Lu Zhengdong can't help but sigh a little, the state special funds are used to promote the western region to truly build distinctive industries, enhance the ability of independent innovation in the industrial economy, but I did not expect to be so wasteful and misappropriated, this is Lu Zhengdong can not tolerate, the western places lack everything, and at present the most lacking is undoubtedly funds, such the use of funds can be said to be used on the blade.

At this time, Lu Zhengdong felt that the establishment of the inspection team was really timely, how to supervise the use of these funds, how much use these projects have played after completion, and how much benefit they have produced, and you can't just listen to the reports given to you by the provinces and cities below and just browse them in the office, and Lu Zhengdong feels that it is necessary to seriously check it.

Of course, nominally speaking of unannounced investigations, Lu Zhengdong also knows that these things cannot be kept secret, and soon the provinces and cities below will get the news, and may even start to find ways to do remedies today, this is not a big problem, in such a short period of time, if you can fake the information, then there are some things that need to be explained with real evidence, you can't fool the past, Lu Zhengdong does not expect to use this matter to embarrass anyone anywhere, but at least to achieve a goal, That is to say, there must be no falsehood in this work, and it is even more necessary to seek truth from facts and adapt measures to local conditions in the declaration, which is also to establish rules.

Of course, Lu Zhengdong is also very clear that this approval is stricter, and in fact, it is easy to breed power rent-seeking.

The position is very high, the organ is very large, and naturally there are a lot of drawbacks, and no one can expect to change it all at once, but Lu Zhengdong still hopes to make some changes within his ability. He also had to think about how to make some changes in this area as well, so as to reduce the number of possible problems to a lower level.

From below, of course, Lu Zhengdong is well aware of the thirst for financial funds in some places, especially in the western region, and he doesn't know how much effort it will take to win this fund, and how many hurdles it will have to cross, but he has not been able to use it well, which is really too sad and hateful......
