Chapter 591: The Wind of Extravagance
After New Year's Day, the pace of the Spring Festival is getting closer and closer, and the entire provincial government compound is in an extremely busy time period.
All kinds of year-end summaries, all kinds of project settlements, all kinds of visits and receptions.
Liang Jiangtao followed the provincial governor every day, either to visit the veteran cadres, or to receive the leading comrades of the central ministries and commissions and the city, or to inspect and guide various places, and he was so busy every day that his feet did not touch the ground.
Approaching the Chinese New Year, the unit began to send things out like crazy.
At the end of the year, all the budget funds must be spent, otherwise the financial side will reduce it in the coming year.
As an absolute central organ like the General Office of the Provincial Government, although it usually spends money vigorously, there is still a lot of money left at the end of the year, which can make Cheng Haotian, the director of the General Office, worried.
Who can understand the trouble of spending money and not being able to spend it?
There is no choice but to spend money and buy all kinds of things in the name of improving everyone's welfare.
Send mobile phones, send laptops, send all kinds of bizarre electronic products......
And clothes, shoes, sneakers......
Sea cucumber, abalone, bird's nest and other high-end gifts......
As long as it can be related to work and life, with a stroke of the pen, buy, and ......
Like ordinary staff members, they can be issued with an IBM laptop computer for more than 10,000 yuan, and the price of high-level leading comrades is even more expensive.
The mobile phones are also big brands like Nokia and Samsung, with the latest styles and models, and various slide flip covers......
Liang Jiangtao's establishment is in the secretary of the general office of the provincial government, and it stands to reason that he is only a deputy chief clerk.
However, of course, the General Office cannot treat him as a general deputy chief staff member, but puts his treatment standards with those of the secretary-general and the chief of staff.
The laptop he got was very high-end, and when he checked it, it cost more than 30,000 yuan!
Seeing all this money being spent like this, he was somewhat distressed, but there was no way, the transformation of things like this could not be achieved overnight.
At this stage, he is just a secretary, he must guard his body, and one day he has a certain right to speak, and he must take action on it!
In addition to these things issued by the organs at the same level, which of the various departments, bureaus, local municipal party committees, and municipal governments do not come to visit? Which one doesn't come to deliver something?
The things sent are all high-end goods, and they are similar to those issued by the authorities at this level.
It's basically a whole bunch of stuff every week.
He heard from the director of the secretary's department that the young cadres in the department would basically buy cars as long as they were in the next year.
It's not because of anything else, it's because it's about transporting these things.
I have to pull a car every week, and it's too inconvenient to have no car!
Liang Jiangtao was a little speechless.
Obviously, this kind of extravagance did not develop overnight.
In his previous life, he was just a county civil servant, although the overall atmosphere at that time was also like this, but the main problem at the county level was eating and drinking.
During the New Year's holidays, the county's bureaus and townships will definitely come to visit and give gifts, but they are nothing more than some tobacco, alcohol, and local products.
Like him, a small clerk, he receives a limited amount of things every year.
At that time, he also heard that the extravagance of the higher authorities was very serious, but he didn't expect it to be like this......
A provincial government office is like this, but what about ministries?
Recently, Cheng Haotian, director of the General Office, has a very important job, which is to connect with the director of the Beijing Office to see how to visit the relevant departments in Beijing.
For a key festival like this, you must visit it very spectacle, and it is best to impress the other party.
The things bought are absolutely dazzling, ingenious and eye-opening.
It's not just that things have to be good, they have to have a name.
Shopping card, fuel card, spa card......
All of them are large denominations......
In fact, the big leaders don't care about these things, the key is the people below.
Hades is easy to see, but the little ghost is difficult.
The more people below and the people who do things, the more you have to give him enough face and things, so that he will not get stuck with you and make things convenient for you.
This is the way of being an official in China from ancient times to the present, and it is also an unspoken rule.
Of course, these things sent during the New Year's holidays are emotional lubricants, not for errands.
When it's time to do something, you have to follow the rules.
Liang Jiangtao pondered when to report to Minister Yan Qing, like this, he really couldn't stand it.
These are all people's fat and people's ointment!
It's just wasted, squandered, and it's distressing!
Since knowing his background, the sense of responsibility in his heart has become stronger.
How to say it.,It seems to be the feelings of family and country.,Or the spirit of the hero.。
The red country is not allowed to be huo.
Unexpectedly, Governor Yan Qing talked to him about this issue first.
Speaking of these extravagance and hedonism, he is also very sad.
"Governor, in that case, why don't you start with the provincial government first? Kill this unhealthy trend! Liang Jiangtao suggested.
"Jiang Tao, it's not that easy! First of all, it's not about one person, it's about almost everyone! It's not about offending people, if you can really stop this unhealthy trend, even if you offend more people, you won't hesitate to do it! ”
"But the question is, if the provincial government does this, what will the provincial party committee do? What about the cities? It affects the unity of the team, which is a big problem! ”
"Also, it's one thing not to allow the units below to send, do you give it to the units above? If you don't send it, the relationship contact is not in place, and the work is not easy to carry out, what should I do? Now the main contradiction must be clarified! ”
"What's more, if you are determined to do it, you must be completely sure! It has to be persistent! Completely brake! Let the top be vigilant. I am afraid that the leader will act as soon as he pats his head, without long-term planning and determination, he will change the order at night, hesitate, and lose his ground! It will definitely rebound again in the future, and it will inevitably intensify, even more serious than before! So if you want to do it, you have to do it, otherwise don't do it first, and wait for a better time! Li Yanqing said.
"I understand, governor, it's like losing weight, either you have to completely lose to a suitable weight and establish a good lifestyle, otherwise you will be fat and thin, and you will rebound, but you will hurt your metabolism and become fatter and fatter! It's getting harder and harder to lose weight! Liang Jiangtao gave an example.
"Haha, Jiang Tao, your statement is very interesting, almost. You see, when I was in the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, I can say that this trend was completely stopped. You have also passed a few festivals in the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, and there are no such things there, right? ”
"Yes, Governor, indeed. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, there didn't seem to be any visits, but the unit sent some symbolic holiday condolences, which were nothing more than rice, flour, and oil, which were all normal benefits for comrades. Liang Jiangtao thought for a while.
"yes, it took me three years to get it right. If it is promoted in the whole province, I don't know how much resistance there is. So don't be in a hurry for now, wait for later, wait for when you become the number one in the province, and then consider these issues. Otherwise, it's better not to do it. Li Yanqing said earnestly.
Liang Jiangtao understood what the governor meant.
In fact, this kind of extravagance was completely stopped by later generations.
It took several years of efforts to carry out a nationwide systematic rectification of this matter.
Now, apparently, it's not yet time.
Even if one province takes the lead in doing it, it is estimated that it will be difficult to last.
What's more, Governor Yan Qing is about to be transferred to the National Development and Reform Commission, and there is no way to grasp this matter unremittingly, so let's do it first.
There is a strong political wisdom behind this.
