There was a brief silence in the venue: no matter what the political leanings were, no one expected that Wen Desi would suddenly say such words at the conference. They either savored the taste, or fell into surprise and broke the silence.
They were the aunts and elders from the "Dependent Elders" area. Although they were not interested in what the leader said, they subconsciously started to applaud after the speech.
First there was sparse applause, then Secretary of State Ma Qianxu and Sanya Region Governor Wang Luobin, other elders of the Executive Committee, and then the elders of the military began to applaud: the People's Commissar of the Army and Navy, the Director of Training and the elders of the General Staff.
First, the members of the Young Officers Club of the Navy and the Army stood up and applauded, and then all the veterans of the Army and the Army. Xiao Zishan noticed that Zhao Manxiong was also applauding: the fleshy slaps were slow and not hasty, rising and falling very measuredly, and his face remained unchanged.
It's that gentle smile.
Immediately, the applause became louder and louder, from small to loud, from sporadic to unison, and finally became "thunderous applause" from the audience. Even the elders who had originally made up their minds not to applaud had to join in and clap.
Wen Desi smiled and waved frequently, and slowly walked down from the podium. Before he returned to his seat in the first row, Ma Qianxu had already stood up to greet him, and held his hand firmly:
"Chairman Moon, you said it very well."
"Where is it," Wen Desi said, "if you don't vomit, you won't be happy."
After this small interlude, the meeting entered the first formal topic: institutional reform.
The leader of the Structural Reform Leading Group is Wen Desi, but everyone knows that he is a "practical" leader, and the actual people handling matters are actually three deputy leaders.
First, Yu Eshui made the "Summary Report on the Investigation of the Senate System". The research report itself is very thick, and each department has a copy. Together, it is enough to make one person tall. So this time I only read out the relevant conclusions.
The system formulated by the Second Plenary Session has exposed many problems in its operation until now. The most important and fundamental issue that the senators are most concerned about is the relationship between the Senate and the Executive Committee. Many problems that have arisen in its operation are related to this relationship.
Unable to clarify the relationship.
In terms of political performance alone, the Senate and the Executive Committee are the relationship between the parliamentary government. However, the particularity of the cross-border group makes the senator have a dual identity at the same time: he is not only a member of the parliament, the highest power organ, but also an administrative member.
Heads of departments or state-owned enterprises - the result is that they are often selective when performing their duties as parliamentarians. They look at problems more from the interests of their own departments, which are greatly affected by personal likes and dislikes and the environment. I have been in this position
Too much administrative and technical work also left the elders with no extra energy to participate in political discussions. Even if the Standing Committee system was later adopted for representation, it would be difficult for the Standing Committee members to take care of both - because their own work would not be reduced just because they became members of the Standing Committee.
How much can be reduced? The work of the elders is just a carrot and a few pits. If you don’t do the work, no one will do it. Therefore, the burden on the Standing Committee is very heavy. The so-called work during the day. Meetings at night, and you have to read documents when you go home. How can ordinary people do this?
Strong energy. Once you become a member of the Standing Committee, both the scope of administrative duties and your own work performance will be greatly affected. Many people applied to quit before the first term of the Standing Committee expired.
Although the Qian brothers and others once proposed that the Standing Committee should be composed of retired veterans and then establish a number of specialized committees. However, the most distressing problem of the Senate at present is that there are too few senators who can fill the gap, especially in technical positions.
At least in a short period of time, it is impossible to use naturalized people to replace them, and after the mainland strategy is launched, the demand for elders will only be greater. It is obviously unfeasible to let a group of elders take off their jobs to engage in representation.
As for the Executive Committee, the situation is not much better. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Executive Committee system is actually a clone of the TG political system. However, a situation that is not suitable for the local environment soon appeared in Lingao. First of all, it should be
As the head of the administration, the Secretary of State has very little power. Many important functional departments are under the "division" of other executive committee members. Many administrative matters must be discussed with the executive committee at the same level before resolutions can be made. Due to their equal status, the executive committee members
Coordination among subordinate departments has also become a problem. Poor government orders have become a norm. And the specific business departments under the jurisdiction of each executive committee have thus become the personal "private area" of the executive committee. The executive committee has great power, and many times
Even above the Secretary of State. Not only that, the expansion of the personal power of the Executive Committee has also led to the expansion of the power of the Secretary of the Executive Committee. Because the Executive Committee has a lot of work, daily business processing is often entrusted to the Secretary of the Executive Committee. In some departments,
The actual power held by the secretary of the executive committee has exceeded that of ordinary elders. This is an extremely sensitive issue for elders who have always been worried about "the loss of power."
The third problem is the issue of institutional setup. The administrative structure of the Executive Committee is still roughly modeled on the old times and spaces, with clear divisions and comprehensive coverage. It attempts to build a bureaucracy that strictly controls and manages society and the economy from top to bottom.
However, the Senate is extremely short of well-trained middle- and lower-level bureaucrats. Not only department heads can only be held by senators, but most first-level cadres in departments can also only be held concurrently by senators. A senator is responsible for five or six deputy directors, seven or eight
The phenomenon of deputy director is not uncommon. The energy of a veteran is limited. If there are too many part-time jobs, things will be done slowly and poorly. And too many departments will create too many links, so it is reasonable that the efficiency of work will continue to decline.
Xiao Zishan listened absentmindedly as Yu E Shui read the report in a cadence - he had read the report a few days ago, and the tone had been set: no matter how the meeting went, organizational reform was inevitable. Where should he go next?
Woolen cloth?
Naturally, no matter how the organization is reformed, the general office will never be left behind.
It would be good to continue to serve as the director of the office, but he is in charge of the food, drink, and toilet of the senators, and directly manages thousands of naturalized men and women who provide various services to the senators. The personal life of the senators is a bit of a secret to him
None of them - this is quite tabooed by people. Some people have already said that the biggest black hand of the Senate is themselves - this is not a good thing.
What if I go out to take an administrative position? I seem to be a little lacking in ability, and to be honest, I really don’t want to leave my comfort zone of Lingao.
While I was thinking wildly, I suddenly saw Ma Qianzhu revising something at his desk, probably a speech for the meeting? The "institutional reform" trend within the Executive Committee has been blowing for a long time, and the Governor, one of the main factions in the Senate, will inevitably have something to do.
Action. He vaguely heard rumors that Xi Yazhou would soon return from Sanya to take up the position of Chief of General Staff, a position that had been vacant in the past.
Xiao Zishan knew that Ma Qianxu, Wen Desi, Wu De and other executive committee members had frequent interactions with the main people's committee members recently. According to Wu Nanhai's report, they often met in cafes, and no one knew what they talked about. But Xiao Zishan guessed that ten
Eighty-nine times it is a matter of personnel arrangements.
In Xiao Zishan's view, there is not much mystery in personnel arrangements. The key is whether the currently wrestling parties can come up with a plan that can make the elders feel at ease? It is indeed not easy to eliminate the "delusions of persecution" among the elders.
However, Xiao Zishan also admitted that the concerns of the elders were not unreasonable.
Liu Xiang once paid a special visit to him and advocated the argument that the Senate is the emperor. As far as the argument itself is concerned, Xiao Zishan has no objection: it is just saying "the Senate is the highest authority" in a different name. Specific to
How can the majority of senators really feel that "the Senate is the highest authority" and believe that this highest authority will not be usurped by a few people? Liu Xiang has no new ideas. At this point, it is nothing more than checks and balances and restrictions -
Speaking of which, Xiao Zishan is not opposed to having a serious senator or an institution such as the House of Lords. Unfortunately, the size of the Senate is too small...
I wonder if the organizational reform carried out by the Law Society this time can make everyone feel at ease. He muttered. At this time, Du Wen suddenly came from the back row with her waist bent. She walked up to Ma Qianxu and whispered something in Ma Qianxu's ear, Ma Qianxu.
He frowned and listened, and said a few more words. Xiao Zishan wondered what kind of trouble Ms. Du was making now? Could it be that it was about the "Hainan New District Rural Situation Survey"?
Du Wen circulated this report to the Executive Committee a few days ago. It listed the rural police investigations in the five or six counties she had visited. Although the investigation content was very simple and she only stayed in each county for a few days, the problem
But there are quite a few: some of the policies formulated by the Senate that they are very proud of either cannot be implemented in rural areas or are completely out of shape.
Xiao Zishan knew that this was inevitable. The governance effect of Lingao was good and the policies were in place. This was because of the existence of the capital effect - abundant manpower and material resources, and rapid information feedback. Once out of Lingao, one or two elders would lead a few naturalized citizens.
It is not easy for cadres to implement all policies. I can only say whether they are like three points, and whether they have gained the true essence, only God knows.
However, this matter has attracted the attention of the Executive Committee - once the mainland strategy is launched, Guangzhou, not only one of the best cities in Asia, but also one of the top cities will fall into the hands of the Senate. The difficulty of civil affairs work is obviously not at best.
Qiongzhou Fucheng with a population of 100,000 is comparable.
Therefore, after discussion, the Executive Committee has decided to arrange for senior ministers from non-production departments to conduct field inspections at the grassroots level in counties in Hainan, focusing on inspecting rural conditions.
This matter alone will take up so much precious time! But if we don't do it, how many problems will not be discovered, and how many of the policies that have been implemented are "taken for granted" or "acclimated to the local environment". We need to find out.
Otherwise, if Mayor Liu comes to Guangzhou to "promote advanced experience" indiscriminately, he will definitely cause a big trouble. (To be continued...)
