life in the sky

Now Zhongmin and Zhenhai have used their actual actions to dispel these rumors. Especially when Zhongmin found a girlfriend from a commoner family, some people were surprised and secretly admired.This admiration also has two aspects. On the one hand, it admires the foresight of the old Mu family, who refuses to give people any excuses.On the other hand, I also admire their good tutoring. The fourth generation of the Mu family has gradually grown up, and the old Mu family will become an evergreen tree in the political arena because of this.

Zhongmin knocked on the door and walked in, greeted Li Qingshan and Sun Shuting politely, and then said to Mu Guoxing: "Father, Huang Jing's father and mother are here, and my mother asked me to invite you over."

Mu Guoxing smiled, and said to Sun Shuting and Li Qingshan: "Huang Jing is Zhongmin's girlfriend. Her parents are visiting my house today. If you two have nothing to do, you can be my companion today."

"I wish I could, but this ready-made matchmaker must be done by the two of us,"

Huang Jing's father, Huang Shanli, is a gentle and elegant man in his 50s, with a strong bookish air on him, and he can tell at a glance that he is a scholar.Originally came to the Prime Minister's house as guests, the husband and wife felt a little uneasy, and the Politburo Standing Committee member and the Vice Premier of the State Council were accompanying the guests, so they were a little dizzy without drinking.This time the family banquet can be fully summed up in the four words of enjoying the guests and the host.

The increasingly developed Internet has given ordinary people a place to tell the truth, and a lot of news appears every day.Although the news on the Internet may not be so accurate, there is still some factual basis, and the saying that there is no such thing as a storm is quite reasonable.

Mu Guoxing, a prime minister who manages everything every day, is a member of the Standing Committee of the Politburo who gives the most letters and instructions from the masses, and is also the best at finding problems from a lot of information on the Internet.And insisting on surfing the Internet for an hour every day, checking the public conditions to understand the issues that the people are most concerned about, is his unshakable habit.

After approving the documents, Mu Guoxing turned on the computer as usual.Although this very ordinary computer has no model number and no manufacturer, its configuration is the world's first-class, and it can also be said to be the most advanced small personal computer in the world.

Speaking of this computer, there is another story. During the Spring Festival, the parents of Mu Zhongmin’s girlfriend Huang Jing came to Yiletang as guests. When talking about his current work, they once said that their research institute has great achievements in the field of communication equipment research. Strong advantages, the individual military computer produced is the most advanced in the world, and has also won unanimous praise from the officers and soldiers of the army.This individual military computer not only has the functions of strong ability to receive signals, fast connection and running speed, but also has the characteristics of good confidentiality.

In the era when network hackers were prevalent, the protection of private computers was particularly important. Although the Blue Light Troops of the Military Commission installed powerful protection software on the private computers of every central leader’s home, and regularly sent people to their homes to check whether the computers existed. Security issues, but things like hacking are hard to prevent.After hearing Huang Jing's father's words, Mu Guoxing instructed the Central Office to order a batch of computers from this research institute.

The [-]M dedicated broadband runs very smoothly, with a single click of the mouse, posts from various networks immediately appear on the display.A piece of information caught Mu Guoxing's attention: Recently, netizens have expressed strong reactions to the government's consumption of public goods and services, and they have asked governments at all levels to announce their expenditures for public services to increase the transparency of the government.

The so-called "three public consumption" refers to the consumption of government personnel in the expenses of going abroad (border) on business, the purchase and operation of official vehicles, and the expenses of official entertainment.Sangong consumption has already become a common phenomenon and has attracted widespread attention from the society.The continuous existence of this phenomenon will cause continuous adverse effects on cadres, society and people, and it is one of the problems to be solved urgently in the field of public administration.

According to some media reports, for a long time, due to the lack of legal constraints, only a very small number of government officials who eat and drink with public funds will have their positions affected.Statistics show that last year, public funds for eating and drinking reached 6000 billion yuan, which is equivalent to the annual national defense expenditure.The cost of government officials going abroad for inspections has also reached a jaw-dropping 2000 billion yuan. As for the consumption of public vehicles, it will never be less than 5000 billion yuan.

Although in recent years the central government has repeatedly required party and government agencies and leading cadres at all levels to routinely economize, reduce the consumption of official vehicles, and reduce the expenditure of public funds for government agencies, and the State Council has also taken the lead in cleaning up a large number of excessive vehicles, but the local party In government agencies, this situation is still very serious.

The consumption of the three publics can add up to trillions of yuan. This alone puts a heavy burden on the country's finances.A large amount of fiscal revenue was not used for the national economy and people's livelihood, but was squandered and wasted by these officials.According to the "Study Times" sponsored by the Central Party School, two years ago, government agencies at all levels had at least 400 million public vehicles, and the financial resources consumed by public vehicles were 4085 billion yuan, accounting for more than 5% of the country's fiscal revenue.If we add public funds for eating and drinking, as well as public-funded trips abroad, the entire three-public consumption actually accounts for 15.00% of the annual fiscal revenue.

According to statistics from the Ministry of Finance, the rate of over-allocation of vehicles in the country has reached more than 50%. In some areas, the main leaders have two special vehicles for each person, one for the city and one for the countryside.According to the research report of the National Development and Reform Commission, officials use three-thirds of their official vehicles, that is, one-third for public use, one-third for private use by leaders and their families, and one-third for drivers.The media has repeatedly exposed the phenomenon of officials using buses to take their children to school, causing traffic jams at the school gates, and the phenomenon of weddings and funerals involving Jackie Chan in the bus.

According to reports, the buses provided by these leading cadres are not only for their own use, but also for their family members and drivers. They also have false invoices for refueling and maintenance, resulting in a serious loss of state-owned assets.The Huaxia Youth Daily quoted relevant survey results as showing that the maintenance cost of a bus in some units is as high as more than 10 yuan a year. The loopholes can be imagined.

The public car consumption has seriously damaged the image of civil servants.A widely circulated jingle said: Workers work hard, earn hundreds of thousands, buy a tortoise shell, and sit on a bastard, depicting that the common people's hatred for public servants who take public servants for sex has reached its extreme.

As early as a few years ago, the State Council issued a series of documents restricting public consumption such as the "Measures for the Administration of Conference Fees of Central State Organs" and the "Administrative Measures for Travel Expenses of Central State Organs and Public Institutions".And Jiangbei Province was taken as a pilot to start the pilot reform of standardizing the reception of public funds, and uniformly implement the publicity system of reception of public funds.

However, in practice, the announcement system of public funds reception ended in miscarriage, because Jiangbei Province, in the pilot program, has modified the spirit of the instructions in the State Council documents according to the local actual situation.The announcement of receptions with public funds is not disclosed to the public. It is just that "all party and government agencies uniformly implement a public announcement system for receptions and meals with public funds, requiring that the expenses involved in meals with public funds must be disclosed within the unit."The result of this is that ordinary cadres in the party and government agencies don't know anything about it, let alone ordinary people.

The local rectification office was explaining this matter, but even replied: The reception fee is an internal matter of the party and government agencies, and we have no obligation or need to disclose it to the public. ""Considering that the publicized content is relatively sensitive, there is no requirement for the unit to publicize the reception fee of public funds to the public. "

Although the problems in Jiangbei Province are only individual cases and cannot be generalized, it reflects that some local government officials still lack the basic common sense of public finance, have a serious official-oriented thinking, and are unwilling to accept the supervision of the masses in their bones. , squandering the hard-earned money of the people wantonly, without paying attention to the majority of taxpayers.

The supervision of government spending by public opinion, which the central government strongly advocates, has in fact become a weak slogan without legal support.At present, in some places, official reception expenditures are growing rapidly, and even account for a considerable proportion of fiscal expenditures, which has become a matter of great concern to the masses.Some experts said that it is very necessary to include official receptions in the scope of government information disclosure and accept inquiries from the public.Public funds are not publicized and transparent, and government agencies cannot clearly answer the public's inquiries about it, which is a violation of the laws and regulations on government information disclosure.

Some so-called observers pointed out that behind the more than 1 trillion public consumption and countless corruptions are the poverty and bankruptcy of tens of millions of people at the bottom, the widening gap between the rich and the poor in society, serious opposition between the government and the people, and public opposition to government. The hatred of officials has reached a critical point where even an accidental event may lead to a blowout of public and social sentiment.In certain provinces and cities, some low-level and vulnerable people who had nowhere to go, news of suicide continued to appear in the newspapers. In addition, there were many large-scale group violence incidents caused by the people's desperation.

Seeing this, Mu Guoxing was angry, and the central government repeatedly ordered governments at all levels to strictly demand the consumption of Sangong. He, the prime minister, is also working hard day and night to develop the economy, even though the country's fiscal revenue has exceeded 15. It can be said that the central government is not short of money, but this money is also the hard-earned money accumulated by the people of the whole country. If it is used for the national economy and the people's livelihood, no matter how much money is spent, it should be spent, but it is squandered by these officials. It is absolutely intolerable.

Happy New Year, friends, I wish the Year of the Dragon good luck, all wishes come true, and the whole family is happy!

Start updating today, don’t drink too much during Chinese New Year, take care of your body!

Mu Guoxing took a few deep breaths, calmed down his anger and continued to read.

The web article also wrote: Some experts have recently suggested that it is necessary to pass or legislate to curb eating and drinking with public funds. The legal circle has discussed the crime and innocence of using public funds to eat and drink. Some people suggested that people who eat and drink with public funds should be given A "crime of profligacy and waste" was established, but in the end there was no substantive result.

Netizens clearly pointed out in the article: At present in China, eating and drinking with public funds is only a matter of violating discipline, and has not risen to the level of corruption and conviction.Those who eat and drink with public funds should be criminalized and legislated, because those who eat and drink with public funds not only corrupt the social atmosphere and the construction of a clean government, but also embezzle social public property.

Some experts suggest that we should learn from Western countries. At the beginning of each year, various government departments submit a government expenditure budget report to the government department with financial funds. The application can even be detailed to the amount of copy paper and ink cartridges, rather than a general office fee.

After the financial management department of the government summarizes it, it is reported to the executive head, and finally submitted to the National People's Congress for approval.After the budget is approved by the legislative branch, it must be strictly implemented.Local people's congresses should require governments at the same level to disclose the specific budget figures for official receptions, and the people's congresses should discuss the government's targets for reducing bus consumption and eating and drinking with public funds.It is illegal to break the pointer if it violates the budget.For consumers who exceed the standard, it should not be just "admonishment talk", but an administrative warning, or even immediately remove the violator.

Netizens also pointed out that the current financial supervision of public expenditures is seriously weak. At present, it is urgent to further improve the legal system for supervising financial funds, expand the path of public supervision, and stop the unhealthy trend of using public consumption to deprive financial funds.It is very necessary to include official receptions into the scope of government information disclosure to protect the public's right to know.And increasing punishment is the best way to stop people's property from being squandered and wasted.

After ringing the summoning bell, Mu Guoxing said to Ying Yiwei, who walked in through the sound: "Director Ying, the consumption of Sangong has reached a very serious level. If we can't take strict measures to stop this evil trend, the problem will become serious." Very serious. Please draft a document based on the information on the Internet, and the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the State Council Counselor's Office, and the People's Political Work Committee will jointly conduct a special study on this issue, and come up with a practical solution as soon as possible. "

After the Prime Minister gave an order, several departments took active actions.But when talking about this issue, we encountered many difficulties.

The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the People's Political Work Commission are familiar units, but what is known about the State Council Counselor's Office is not so clear.The Counselor's Office is an institution directly under the State Council established at the initiative of the older generation of party and state leaders at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China.The Counselor's Office of the State Council has a united front and consulting nature, and its main duties are investigation and research, advice and suggestions, and consultation on state affairs.

The main task of the Counselor's Office is to organize counselors to conduct investigations and research on government work and issues of concern to the people, and to make suggestions to the Premier of the State Council.Organize counselors to put forward revision opinions and suggestions on important laws, regulations and draft documents drafted by the State Council.Contact all walks of life, reflect social conditions and public opinions to the Premier of the State Council, and be responsible for providing business guidance to the provincial counselor's offices.

Counselors of the State Council are appointed by the Premier of the State Council.They are virtuous, talented, and hopeful people, many of whom are members of the democratic parties, independents, and famous experts and scholars.There are also some senior leading cadres who have rich experience in macro management and have relegated to the second line.The basic responsibilities of counselors participating in government work are: participating in and discussing state affairs, offering advice and suggestions, consulting on state affairs, and uniting the front for friendship.Government counselors do not represent any party, do not represent the interests of departments, and directly report the situation to the Premier of the State Council and other leaders of the State Council in a "through train" manner, and put forward opinions and suggestions.

It is precisely because the opinions of the counselors can be delivered directly to the prime minister's desk, that they become what people in the officialdom call all-powerful figures. Therefore, no one dares to underestimate these old guys who have no position and no power.

In the conference room on the third floor of the office building of the State Council Counsellor's Office, dozens of highly respected counselors are having an important meeting. The color of the teacups in front of everyone has become very pale. Obviously, this meeting has been going on for a long time.

"The main content of the study at this meeting is to find out the problems existing in the consumption of public goods in accordance with the instructions of the Prime Minister, and to study what kind of legal means can be used to completely control the mouths, buttocks and legs of officials. Next, I invite everyone to brainstorm and discuss. Let's talk."

The current director of the counselor's office, Peng Songhai, is the youngest member of the state councilor of Mr. Shao's generation. Although he is over sixty years old, he is still blind and deaf, with piercing eyes.The old man who was in charge of the public security, national security and other departments at the time made criminals frightened by his jealous character when he was in office, especially his legendary experience when he was the deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security is still talked about.

This is because of these reasons. After Mu Guoxing became the Premier of the State Council, he invited the old man twice to serve as the director of the Counselor's Office of the State Council.And Peng Songhai also watched Mu Guoxing grow up step by step, and he also admired his governance philosophy very much. After a long conversation between the two, Peng Songhai came out happily and became the new director of the Counselor's Office of the State Council at the age of 70.

Among these counselors, in addition to Peng Songhai, the deputy state-level cadre, Zhao Decun, the former director of the Standing Committee of the People's Congress of Hexi Province, is the highest.According to the relevant regulations, there is no administrative level among the counselors, but the requirements are the requirements. In fact, no one can take the level seriously under any circumstances. This is not only in China, but also in Western countries. .Even the outgoing president of the United States enjoys many privileges.

"I think Comrade Songhai is right and pointed out the root of the problem." Zhao Decun was the first to speak: "The mouth refers to food and drink with public funds, the buttocks are cars made by officials, and the legs are to use public funds to travel abroad. I It is suggested that this investigation should start from these three aspects, and the slogan is to control the officials’ buttocks, mouths and legs, which is called “Three Control Actions” for short.”

Hearing Zhao Decun's speech, the counselors all laughed. Many of you here are highly respected academics, but after hearing Zhao Decun's words, you have to admire this old Zhao's level. Although there are some repetitions in the speech, But he summed it up very well. He really deserves to be a leading cadre at the ministerial level. It seems that there is a difference between those who have been officials and those who have not.

Thirty or so counselors who could go to investigate were divided into ten groups, and Zhao Decun was randomly selected to go to his hometown of Hexi Province for investigation.Seeing this result, even Zhao Decun didn't think it would be such a coincidence later, he wanted to go back and have a look for a long time, this is really a pillow when he wants to doze off.

"Old lady." Zhao Decun yelled as soon as he returned to the small building of the villa in the sky and the earth: "I'm going to Hexi for research this time, do you want to go back with me and have a look?"

Seeing Zhao Decun's happy expression, Zhou Xianglan joked, "The weather is getting warmer again. You old migratory birds are going out again. Isn't there an avoidance system? How can you go to Hexi for research?"

"That's why I'm happy. I didn't know it would be such a coincidence. But it was randomly selected, and I couldn't help it. Besides, there were two other comrades who went to Hexi with me. Group activities are not private behaviors. Is there anything to avoid. Besides, I have been away from Hexi for so many years, and I really want to go back and have a look. A while ago, I heard that something big happened in Fengshan City, so I just went back to see what was going on?"

Zhou Xianglan knew that Zhao Decun still couldn't let go of Fengshan City, where he had worked for many years, and there were many former students and old subordinates.The incident that happened some time ago was indeed a bit evil. I heard that it was arranged by the Prime Minister himself.It's good to take this opportunity to go back and have a look, lest something happens and I don't know it. If I don't have an attitude, it would be bad to be blamed by that underground son-in-law.

Spring in Hexi Province is already the season when all kinds of flowers are in full bloom. After the severe winter, everything is showing a scene of vitality again.The crowd on the street put on colorful spring clothes, and some girls who love beauty even put on skirts that can only be seen in summer.

The research team of the Counselor's Office of the State Council headed by Zhao Decun received a high-level reception from the Counselor's Office of the Hexi Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government.This is not only because Zhao Decun used to be the director of the National People's Congress in Hexi Province, but more importantly, because these counselors are all powerful figures, and their reports can be directly placed on the Prime Minister's desk. The provincial party committee and the provincial government must have nothing to eat and have to walk around.

According to the practice in the officialdom, after the research team came to Hexi, the Provincial Party Committee will hold a formal banquet after arriving and before leaving. God said good things.There are various inspection groups and research groups in the central ministries and commissions. I don’t know how many come down every year. They have always been received in this way, and I have never heard anyone say anything.

Regardless of the daily receptions and banquets in the officialdom, there are strict grades. It is said that there are different levels of leaders to receive, who will accompany them to the banquet, what standards to set, and what kind of wine to drink. Specified.What makes people feel ridiculous is that no one can come up with official documents for these so-called regulations. To be precise, these regulations are a kind of unspoken official rules that have been formed over time under the instigation of relevant leaders.

Some people say that you can see some incredible things everywhere in the officialdom, and the rule of not having official documents is one of them.Don't think this is absurdity in the officialdom, but it has a deep meaning after careful analysis.Without official documents, even if there is a problem, it will be a mess to track it down. The advantage is that no one can take responsibility for it.

The Counselor's Office is an institution directly under the State Council, and it is also the think tank of the Prime Minister. Strictly speaking, this unit and many counselors do not have an administrative level.However, based on the fact that the director of the counselor's office, Peng Songhai, was a former state councilor, everyone knew that the rank of the counselor's office was not low, and it would definitely not be lower than the ministerial level.Besides, one of the counselors who came to investigate this time is Zhao Decun, the director of the former People's Congress of Hexi Province, a well-known ministerial-level cadre, and Hexi Province will also receive it according to high standards.
