Institutional reform!
In the office building of the Chaohai County Party Committee, the Standing Committee is convening to study the institutional reform of the county-level party and government agencies.
Liu Yihua spoke first: "Comrades, we convened this Standing Committee meeting today mainly to study the institutional reform of county-level party and government agencies.
I think everyone has read the documents issued by the superiors, right? Our superiors require us to streamline some institutions in accordance with the spirit of a reasonable division of labor between the party and the government and the principle of simplification! Dismantle some establishments! The government and enterprises must be separated... As early as January 1989, at the meeting of the Political Bureau of the Political Bureau, the head of the higher level issued a speech "Simplifying the organization is a revolution".
The chief pointed out: Streamlining the organization is a revolution! Of course, it is not a revolution of people, but a revolution of the system. If we don't engage in this revolution, there will be no way to change the party and government organs that are bloated and overlapping, with unclear responsibilities! Now many leading cadres of party and government agencies are incompetent and irresponsible, and their work lacks energy, knowledge and efficiency! How can such cadres do a good job? How could such a cadre be approved by the people
The chief said: If the revolution of institutional reform is not carried out, the elderly and sick will block the way of younger, energetic and capable cadres. Not only is there no hope for the four modernizations, but the party and the country may perish. Realizing the revolutionization, rejuvenation, knowledgeization, and professionalization of cadres is the strategic need of revolution and construction, and it is also the most glorious and sacred duty of every veteran cadre. He also said that in and out, the entry is the first, the selection must be good, and the talents must be selected. The most critical issue is to choose younger ones. "
Liu Yihua paused and continued: "Comrades, through studying and understanding the speeches of the leaders at the higher levels, everyone is clear about the importance of this reform of the county-level party and government organizations, right? Reform is necessary! After this reform, the position of some of us here may be given up to younger comrades, but we will not forget the contributions made by these old comrades!
Next, according to the current situation of the party and government organs in Chaohai County, please discuss how our institutional reform will be carried out,
to what extent
, What kind of effect do you want to get! "
After Liu Yihua finished speaking, most of the standing committee members looked at the deputy secretary of the county party committee. The secretary of the county party committee went to the province for a meeting, and today Liu Yihua is the boss. The deputy secretary of the county party committee cleared his throat and said: "Comrades, I am in charge of the work of the party and the masses, and I feel a great responsibility for this institutional reform! Comrade Liu Yihua has already talked about the origin of this institutional reform just now! This vigorous institutional reform started from It has been two years since the higher level started in January 1982! Why did it take so long? Because: Difficult! Reform is very difficult! But no matter how difficult it is, we must reform!
Now let me give you a brief introduction to the institutional reform of the higher authorities.
The 22nd meeting of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress passed a resolution on institutional reform of the State Council. Approved in principle the preliminary plan for institutional reform of the State Council. According to this plan, the ministries, commissions, and directly affiliated institutions of the State Council will be reduced from the existing 98 to 52, and the staff will be reduced by about one-third.
Comrades, the reform of the higher authorities has now been completed according to the original plan! The superior has set an example for us, what should the party and government organs below us do? Maybe many old comrades in the county feel aggrieved... However, many old revolutionaries with high morals and high esteem have retreated to the second line and are willing to make way for young cadres. What else can you aggrieve
The reform of the county-level party and government organs is a decision of the superior! We must be determined to complete it! Do it quickly! There are no conditions to talk about! "
The speech of the deputy secretary of the county party committee shocked all the standing committee members present! Liu Yihua only talked about theoretical things, but the deputy secretary of the county party committee talked about the specific reform plans and figures of the higher authorities... This is even more shocking! It seems that there is no way to reform without reform! Follow the example... The superiors have set an example, what else can you do
The head of the Organization Department opened the document in his hand and said: "Next, I will introduce to you the reform of the provincial government agencies.
The work of adjusting the provincial leadership team started in late October 1989 and was basically completed by the first half of 1990. The adjustment of provincial ministries, committees, departments, bureaus, and prefectural and municipal leadership groups has basically ended in the second half of the year.
The provincial and prefectural leadership groups have been adjusted to reduce the number of people, the average age has dropped, and the level of education has increased. It has taken a big step towards revolutionization, youthfulness, knowledgeization, and professionalization!
The number of provincial leaders, members of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee, and governors and vice governors has decreased from 698 to 463, a decrease of 34%; the average age has decreased from 62 to 55; those with a college education or above have increased by 20% to 43%.
There are 204 newly promoted provincial leading cadres, accounting for 44% of the total number of new team members, of which 145 have a college education level, accounting for 71%.
The number of leaders of prefectural, municipal and provincial ministries, committees, departments, and bureaus, members of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee, chief and deputy commissioners, and chief and deputy department and bureau chiefs has been reduced from 16,658 before the adjustment to 10,603, a decrease of 36%; the average age has been reduced from 58 to 50 years old; those with college education increased from 14% to 44%. "
All the members of the Standing Committee who heard this shocking number knew that this time it was going to be serious! The average age of prefectural leaders is only 50 years old! The head of the Propaganda Department and the head of the United Front Work Department present here are all over 50 years old.
The head of the organization department coughed and continued: "The above figures illustrate the intensity and results of this top-down institutional reform! The superiors, provincial and local leaders have set an example for us! What should we do? Here is a copy Institutional reform plan, please refer to it!"
This plan is Liu Yihua's main initiative, and he has introduced shocking plans.
When everyone reads the reform plan provided by the head of the Organization Department... you will feel cold from head to toe! Where is this reform? It is simply overthrowing and starting over! According to this plan, Chaohai County is going to implement the "removal of bureaus and expansion of committees" to reduce the shortcomings of overlapping institutions and the lack of distinction between government and enterprises. 15 bureaus, offices, and commissions will be abolished and merged! Such strength is unimaginable! So many leaders and cadres have been reformed in this way? How will they live in the future? The leaders of superiors, provinces, and districts still have high prestige even if they retreat to the second line... But the leaders of the county are different! Once you step back, it's basically useless. As for the department-level cadres below... Once they step down, they will be a waste!
The head of the Propaganda Department wiped off his sweat and said, "Is that... isn't it too big? Will such a large-scale reform affect the normal development of Chaohai County? Will it be approved by the superiors?" After the conflict between his son Zhou Hu and Secretary Liu's son... the head of the Propaganda Department felt a strong sense of urgency! He went to the head of the county magistrate's office several times but failed to get his promise. This time the reform plan of the county-level organs comes out... I guess my position is very difficult! Now the head of the Propaganda Department can only hope that the superiors will not approve the organizational reform plan of Chaohai County, so that he still has a chance!
The director of the county party committee office put down the materials in his hand and said: "I firmly support the decision of the superior! How many agencies and cadres are there in our small Chaohai County? What kind of contributions have they made to the development of Chaohai County? For the common people What contribution? Few! Very little contribution from many units!
Many comrades don't work hard, procrastinate, and try to escape! If you have an advantage, you will be the first to jump out and fight for it! Be more active than anyone else! Once he is wronged, he will cry... It seems that he has been wronged more than Dou E!
Chaohai County needs to develop and vigorously develop! improve dramatically! Can we count on these organs and cadres to provide a strong impetus for the development of Chaohai County? cannot! So reform is necessary! It is a matter of life and death in Chaohai County! The superiors support our reforms! "
The speech of the director of the county party committee office greatly shocked the standing committee members! Since taking office, he has never delivered such a clear-cut speech! No matter what he was against or in favor of before, his remarks were basically very reserved.
Liu Yihua added: "Comrades, don't make a fuss when you see this reform plan! Shout out! Think it's too much, think it's a big deal! I want to tell everyone that we have no way out, and we must work out a final plan today!"
Liu Yihua's attitude has been very clear! This reform plan must finally be passed! Whether you agree or not!
The deputy secretary of the county party committee said: "Minister of the Organization Department, let's discuss each item according to the plan!"
The head of the Organization Department nodded and said: "Change the Agricultural Bureau into an Agricultural Service Center, the Animal Husbandry and Fishery Bureau into an Animal Husbandry and Fishery Service Center, the Agricultural Machinery Bureau into an Agricultural Machinery Service Center, and the Hydropower Bureau into a Water Conservancy and Hydropower Service Center... There is no doubt about these points. Bar?"
Bureau and center certainly sound different! To put it simply - the bureau looks like a management unit! And the central feeling is the service unit! But no matter what, these bureaus are retained! Only the name has changed!
Then many members of the Standing Committee spoke, saying that there was no problem.
The head of the Organization Department continued: "Change the commune and brigade enterprise administration to the commune enterprise head office, the food bureau to the grain and oil head office, the material bureau to the material head office, the foreign trade bureau to the foreign trade company, and the traffic bureau to the transportation bureau. The transportation company...what's your opinion on this?"
The head of the United Front Work Department hesitated and said: "The Grain Bureau is very important...does this need to be reformed? We are socialist, so changing the Grain Bureau to the Grain and Oil Corporation...isn't it a bit inappropriate?"
The views of the head of the United Front Work Department are shared by most members of the Standing Committee! Food Bureau... People depend on food! Now that the country has realized a planned economy, grain and oil are supplied according to the plan! If the Grain Bureau is changed to the Grain and Oil Corporation... I feel that the grain and oil can be bought and sold without planning! Because the company is in business!
Neither the deputy secretary of the county party committee nor the head of the organization department could find a suitable answer to this question, so their eyes naturally turned to Liu Yihua.
Liu Yihua frowned and said: "The central government has said it long ago - we are now implementing a policy of planning economy as the mainstay and market economy as the supplement! Therefore, our reform of the grain bureau this time does not violate the spirit of the central government! The head of the central government has long said that : The planned economy is like a birdcage, and the market economy is like a bird! If there is no birdcage, the bird will fly away! The market will be out of control! The cage is too small, so the bird has no room to fly! We are now It is just exploring a suitable development path! Create a cage of suitable size for this bird!
Reform always requires a little risk, a little breakthrough and enterprising spirit, right? From now on, we must liberate our spirits! It's time to change some old ideas! "
Liu Yihua's speech firmly grasped the spirit of the central government and quoted the metaphor of the head of the central government... It is irrefutable! Everyone had no choice but to pass the above reform proposals.
The head of the organization department glanced at Liu Yihua in admiration! I thought that Secretary Liu's theoretical level is high! But the head of the organization department didn't know that these theories of Liu Yihua were collected and sorted out by Liu Yihua!
Next, the Minister of the Organization Department continued to read out the reform plan... The Standing Committee members had to bite the bullet and express their position.
...
Two hours later, this plan will be voted on! Except for Li Yazhou, the head of the Propaganda Department and the head of the United Front Work Department, who abstained, the other nine members of the Standing Committee all agreed with this reform plan!
After discussion and research by the Standing Committee, Chaohai County decided to set up 5 new committees! The county government has 1 office, 8 committees and 12 bureaus.
1 do:
The county government office (including the pre-support office, the letter and visit office, and an economic research office).
8 committees:
1. Agricultural Committee - including agriculture, water conservancy and hydropower, animal husbandry and aquatic products, economic crops, agricultural machinery, enterprise bureaus, regional planning offices, water and soil conservation offices, grain corporations, and supply and marketing cooperatives.
2. Forestry Committee - including Greening Committee.
3. Economic Committee - including Industry, Second Light Industry, Transportation, Commerce, Foreign Trade Bureau, Vocational Education Office.
4. Planning committee - including materials and infrastructure.
5. Spiritual Civilization Construction Committee.
6. Science and Technology Committee.
7. Family Planning Commission.
8. Sports Committee.
12 innings:
1. The Personnel Bureau, including the Veteran Bureau and the Editorial Committee Office.
2. Public Security Bureau.
3. Bureau of Justice.
4. Civil Affairs Bureau.
5. Finance Bureau.
6. Tax bureau.
7. Industrial and Commercial Bureau.
8. Labor Bureau.
9. Bureau of Statistics.
10. Education Bureau.
11. Cultural Bureau.
12. Health Bureau.
This plan will abolish and merge 15 bureaus, offices, and committees... The county committee organization is fixed and cannot be abolished or merged, but it has streamlined a quarter of its staff!
As soon as this plan comes out, the reform of the county-level government agencies in Chaohai County will start vigorously!
Liu Yihua finally delivered a speech: "Comrades, the reform plan of the county-level government agencies in Chaohai County has just been passed! Next, we will implement this plan thoroughly without hesitation! My idea is that within 15 days Finish this reform! Comrades, please don't be surprised! Reform must be carried out vigorously! Revolution is not a dinner party! Likewise - institutional reform is not a dinner party!"
...
After the reform plan of the county-level organs in Chaohai County was passed, the cadres of all sizes in Chaohai County felt unprecedented pressure all of a sudden! Everyone is moving around... jumping up and down to find connections! Many people actually found Liu Yihua's head!
Chaohai County Party Committee Guest House, Liu Yihua is treating guests! The people who are qualified to come in are extraordinary! They are all members of Liu Yihua's team!
Everyone entered the VIP room lively. After the banquet, Liu Yihua held up his wine glass and said, "This is good wine! Louis XIII... come and have a drink! Hehe, I'll just have a drink!"
"Cheers!" Everyone here drank a glass happily!
After putting down his wine glass, Liu Yihua got straight to the point: "Everyone is invited to come here today...just to communicate with each other! As you all know, I have a good relationship with the Huaxia Group in Taiwan and the Zhenghua Group in Hong Kong Island! These two groups are building Zhenghua Economic The main force of the special zone! The construction of the special zone is also inseparable from the strong support of everyone here! Therefore, I hope you will continue to support in the future!
One more thing, a few days ago the county passed a reform plan for county-level government agencies... We in Chaohai County will reduce a lot of cadres in the future! Everyone has worked hard and become an official. With the current achievements, no one wants to be reformed! But the reality is cruel... so many cadres began to look for connections everywhere, and a few people found me a while ago... Today I am here to express my position-the departments that should be abolished will definitely be abolished! The cadres who should go down will definitely go down! There's nothing human to talk about! There is no back door to open! You also know how many eyes will be staring at us at this time? "
The head of the organization department laughed and said, "That... the county magistrate, we just mentioned it by the way! You know, after so many years in the office, who doesn't have a few relatives and friends? Once they retreat to the second line, life will be problematic I have no choice but to find you."
This time the institutional reform is too big! As the head of the organization department, I can't even protect some of my friends! Because many rounds were withdrawn! how much can you help The retained units are also crazily laying off workers... Where can there be new positions for these comrades
"County magistrate, the adjustments this time are too great! Even the positions of several county party committee members may not be guaranteed... Many comrades below panic! So it is understandable to ask for help everywhere! We also know your difficulties, but we can't As a last resort, it's not a particularly good relationship...we won't speak to you either!"
Recently, many cadres have tried every means to build a good relationship with Liu Yihua and Liu Yihua.
Liu Yihua thought about it and said: "Well, each of you will give me 3 places! I will be responsible for arranging these people! If there are too many people, it will not work! At least not now!" High, but the income must be good!
"Really? That would be great! Thank you county magistrate." Everyone said excitedly.
After a while, Liu Yihua said: "Recently, I came into contact with Taiwan Huaxia Group and Hong Kong Island Zhenghua Group... Then I went to the capital to take a look, and I deeply realized the gap between our Chaohai County and many other regions!
How did this gap come about? I think the lack of awareness of reform is one of the main reasons! The head of the central government said a word: Without reform, our country will only have a dead end! I want to talk about how I think about reform!
The 49 hexagrams of the I Ching are the 'Ge' hexagrams, and the 50 hexagrams are the 'Ding' hexagrams! The idiom "reform the past and reform the new" comes from this! 'Leather' is to break the rules! 'New' means new ideas and new developments!
'Leather' is about to break something! For example: Can the iron rice bowl be broken? Can all factories implement contract labor? Then slowly cancel any formal jobs? Also, can grain, oil, cloth, and meat be released? Can you cancel food stamps, oil tickets, cloth tickets, meat tickets... Of course there are a lot of tickets! Cancel these and let everyone buy freely!
'New' is to build something new or even unprecedented! For example: Can Zhenghua Special Economic Zone land be leased to foreign investors? This will speed up investment promotion! Also, can the county streamline its organization? Implement the integration of party and government? We can set up an administrative center to provide one-stop service... Whatever you come to do, you can do it quickly and in one go at this center!
The head of the Organization Department was the first to ask: "County magistrate, I understand what you mean, but now they emphasize the separation of the party and the government! Why is your point of view the integration of the party and the government? I listened carefully, what you just said is that the government is the Lord? People will say that in Chaohai County, the government leads the party! This issue is very serious!"
Liu Yihua smiled and said: "That's right! The government is the main one! There is also the Chaohai County Party Committee! The party leading the government will never change!"
After Liu Yihua finished speaking, the head of the Organization Department was puzzled again: "County magistrate, I heard that you want to sell land? I was terrified by the word 'land lease'! Now, are we here a special zone! Now the Pengcheng special zone is engaged in land lease. It caused an uproar...Does our small county dare to do this?"
Liu Yihua waved his hand and said, "Why don't you dare? This does not violate the theory of socialism! According to the constitution, the land is state-owned, but we did not completely sell the land to capitalists! Instead, we leased it out for decades or hundreds of years. ! This does not violate the Constitution!"
"Now, this... Some people say that this is equivalent to a new concession! It is an act of treason!"
Liu Yihua said with a smile: "Many people's deep-rooted thoughts are difficult to change in a short time! It will be better in the future!"
"County magistrate, if you cancel food stamps, oil stamps, cloth stamps, meat stamps...the prices of these things will get out of control? Wouldn't the world be in chaos?"
Liu Yihua explained: "No! To cancel these tickets, the government can give a guide price! The actual price is determined by the market! This is a market economy!"
"It makes sense! Many index countries have strict regulations, but many times they have not kept up with the development situation! It seems that the general trend of canceling tickets will be the general trend in the future!"
Liu Yihua secretly lamented that the cadres are smart! Can infer other things from one example! Can analyze and judge the future development trend!
The newly appointed executive deputy county magistrate hesitated: "Now, according to the regulations, it is impossible for a county to have two executive deputy county magistrates. Will Chaohai County's superiors approve this? After all, institutional reform is now."
Liu Yihua smiled and said: "It's okay! This is a signal! The addition of an executive deputy county magistrate shows that Chaohai County attaches great importance to the government system! The county will gradually decentralize power, and some powers will be handed over to the deputy county magistrate! In that way, repeat The disadvantages of leadership will be eliminated! Of course, the power of the county party committee leaders will be reduced a lot. However, the sugar cane is not sweet at both ends. Regardless of the separation of the party and the government, or the integration of the party and the government... it is all to avoid duplication of leadership, to avoid wrangling... to make the government more Lead the development of the people well!"
The reason Liu Yihua said is actually very clear! But everyone knows in their hearts that it is not easy for the county to truly decentralize power!
