Li Zhongxin was very disgusted with the public funds for public officials in this era. Li Zhongxin felt that it was taking the money from the state to spend money indiscriminately, which harmed the public and benefited private people, and wasted the money that the country had used normally.

At this time, the custom in the Northeast Black Province is to eat and drink. Basically, all classes have this approach. As long as they come to the leader, they must take out public funds to entertain the leader.

The two dishes and one soup that the country has previously stipulated in old cadres have long been outdated. As long as the leader comes, at least a large table of hearty dishes must be made.

Many times, when there are many people coming, they can directly create three to five or even more tables for food and drink.

Not counting this, they also included non-official activities in the reception scope, arranged banquets that were not related to official duties, and used public funds to eat and drink.

For example, when the leader’s relatives and friends come, they will arrange to go to the restaurant to have dinner, and then write an IOU in the hotel, and the unit will directly reimburse the company.

Not only that, it has become a trend for departments and units to use public funds to host each other's official activities in the same jurisdiction. Today, the leaders of your police station arrange for the leaders of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to have dinner, and arrange for the top leaders or people in the entire place to have dinner. Tomorrow these people will use public funds to arrange for food and drink.

Those not counting, they also transfer reception expenses to lower-level units, enterprises and individuals under the name of holding meetings, training or purchasing office supplies; they spend reception expenses in non-tax income and other expenses in the name of official receptions; they illegally purchase local specialties, gifts and other items, and the payment of subsidies is included in the reception expenses.

Many units pay their debts when going out for dinner and are directly distributed to the following companies or merchants. The following companies and merchants do not dare to offend their leaders, for fear of being worn or being cleaned up, so they can only pinch their noses and spend the money.

Li Zhongxin felt that among the ways to eliminate this matter, eating all public officials in the canteen at noon is one of the good ways. It not only prevents public officials from going out to eat and drink at noon, but also prevents public officials from performing their duties after eating and drinking at noon.

As for going out to eat and drink at night, Li Zhongxin also thought of ways to control it. Li Zhongxin felt that public officials were public officials and they needed to do what they should do, rather than squandering the money of the state or the government money.

After the Jiangcheng New District is in charge of autonomy, all the investments of public officials will be made from the tax revenue of Jiangcheng New District or from Zhongxin Company. Li Zhongxin does not want these people to harm the country and his money.

"Brother Xin, then our canteen is only open to public officials in our Jiangcheng New District, or can everyone go to the canteen for dinner?" Liang Guofu asked immediately after hearing what Li Zhongxin said.

Liang Guofu felt that if the canteens like Li Zhongxin said were all public officials eating alone, it would definitely be a waste. How to say it? Because the division of labor is reasonable and the public officials are simplified, there are not many public officials in Jiangcheng New District. If you follow what Li Zhongxin said, eat nearby and build several canteens, it would be a waste.

"Of course everyone can go to eat, but public officials go to the cafeteria and have special seats. After public officials have food, they can naturally sell the excess food to other people who come here to eat.

In my opinion, the practice of opening internal canteens to ordinary people in Jiangcheng New District has a positive effect in at least three aspects, and it is definitely a killing of three birds with one stone.

First of all, this move facilitates the people nearby and brings benefits to the people nearby. For the people living and working nearby, as well as migrant workers working on nearby construction sites, having such a canteen in the government office means having a kitchen that canteen canteen for three meals a day, not to mention that we have to create a canteen here, which is much more affordable than consumption in the market.

In Jiangcheng New District, our Zhongxin Company has the most staff members. Some places have not yet been established to have canteens. They can also go to such canteens to have dinner, which also gives them the opportunity to have safe and delicious meals.

Secondly, I think doing so will advocate social fairness and justice, which will help improve the social image of government agencies and narrow the distance between our Jiangcheng New District government and the people.

Although not every ordinary person is willing to sit in the same cafeteria with public officials, for most ordinary people, if they have the opportunity to share meals with national public officials, they will still feel a sense of fairness and justice in their hearts, and they still feel much better than the feeling of being arrogant and lofty than the feeling of being a public official.

What benefits more from the changes in the feelings of the people is the group of government public officials, and the party and government organs behind Jiangcheng New District.

Finally, this move is conducive to communication between cadres and the masses, and to the government understand social conditions and public opinion.

The high level of government officials living in the temple for a long time inevitably makes themselves less down-to-earth and do not understand what the people think and do. Now with such a canteen platform and the precious opportunity for public officials to eat canteens with the people, the two sides can naturally understand and communicate with each other in this zero-distance contact.

Especially for public officials, only by understanding what the people think and desire at present can we do our job better, make our work truly meet the expectations of the people, and meet the requirements of Jiangcheng New District to build a public service-oriented government.

In our Jiangcheng New District, it has so much practical significance to open internal canteens by party and government organs. So can party and government organs, enterprises and institutions in other parts of the country consider opening their own internal canteens so that more people can also eat public meals? This is also of great significance. Therefore, I think that the canteens in our Jiangcheng New District need to be built, and large canteens must be built so that people can enjoy the dividends of our Jiangcheng New District.” Li Zhongxin said seriously to Liang Guofu.

In this matter, Li Zhongxin felt that doing this is of great significance and will play a positive role in the future promotion of such a thing by the state. Through a platform like Jiangcheng New District, more people can discover the benefits of this matter, and in the future, such things will increase and more nationwide.
