Beiyang reactionaries

See if there is any way to avoid wrangling among various departments and levels of government.

In order to solve the coordination between departments and establish a department to coordinate and govern these matters, several people reached a certain consensus.In fact, the cabinet meeting is like this, unless something sudden happens and everyone holds an emergency meeting.Otherwise, Duan Xun would communicate with the following cabinet members before the meeting.Duan Xun would never discuss some very important issues without communicating with any cabinet members.

Because what if it fails?

Once the cabinet committee meeting is in the middle, there are too many people who oppose it?Although with Duan Xun's strength, even if there are many people who oppose it, the motion that Duan Xun wants to pass can still be passed.

However, if this kind of thing spread, it would not be good for Duan Xun and not good for the unity of the cabinet.So Duan Xun had to talk to important cabinet members before the meeting.

It's good for everyone to know.If the communication before the meeting is not very smooth and most people object, then Duan Xun will shelve such a proposal.

"Prime Minister Wang, what do you think?"

"Prime Minister, I also think so. During the past two years of construction, problems in this area have been prominent, seriously affecting the completion of the plan and daily work. It is necessary to set up a special agency to coordinate the various agencies and implement the plan. of."

"it is good."

Duan Xun nodded and said: "I have also had this idea for a long time. I think we have established an economic development planning committee in the cabinet, which is responsible for formulating the five-year economic development plan, reviewing the implementation of the plan, and supervising the implementation of the plan. Responsible for communicating with various departments. In the future, large-scale investment and large-scale projects across the country must be approved by the Economic Development Planning Commission before they can start.”

Duan Xun is a "semi-dictator".

What is needed is constant centralization.It is necessary to transfer the power of economic development to the central government and the cabinet.The cabinet has already started to take back the power of economic development, but this is not enough.

Duan Xun wants to set up a special agency to step up the recovery of more economic construction power.Of course, it is mainly to control the power of the country's economic lifeline.

Such power mainly includes financial power, industrial power, agricultural power, and infrastructure power.As long as these things are firmly controlled, the Chinese economy cannot escape the government's grasp.

"Let's talk about who is suitable to be the director of the Economic Development Planning Commission."

No one answered right away.

Because this position is really important.According to Duan Xun, this so-called Economic Development Planning Commission almost controls the direction of China's economic development.

Of course, if it is only responsible for the direction of development, it is still a small matter.

But the bigger problem is that this committee not only has the power to formulate plans, but also has the power to review and supervise, including the power to approve projects to start.

Add these powers together, and this committee is powerful.

And it's not ordinary.

Too much power.

Everyone understands that it is impossible for ordinary cabinet members to take such an important position.Therefore, although many people did not speak, they all looked at Wang Yongjiang.

Because Wang Yongjiang has been in charge of the Chinese economy.

The Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Commerce, and the Bureau of Survey and Statistics are all in charge of Wang Yongjiang.The Economic Development Planning Commission established now is the department that will control China's economic development.Judging from the current situation, it overlaps with Wang Yongjiang's scope of work.

"Prime Minister, I think Premier Wang Yongjiang is the most suitable for this directorship."

It's clear, there is no suspense.

So Dai Kan spoke quickly.In fact, Dai Kan, as the first deputy prime minister, has been in charge of the daily affairs of the cabinet when Duan Xun was away.Of course he was very greedy for such an important position.

Only he knows.This position belongs to Wang Yongjiang.So I didn't fight for myself.Anyway, with the establishment of such an important institution, there will be many important positions.

Then it's time for everyone to compete.

"I also think Prime Minister Wang is the most suitable for this position."

"Yes."

After Dai Kan spoke, Yang Yongtai also spoke in support, and other cabinet members also nodded.As for the ministers of some cabinet ministries and commissions present, they have no right to speak.

This includes Minister of Industry Liang Huankui and Minister of Commerce Song Hanzhang.They just attend the meeting and express their views.

"Well, Prime Minister Wang, your job has always been to be in charge of the economy. How do you feel about being the director of the Economic Development Planning Commission?"

"I will work hard."

Wang Yongjiang nodded.

Wang Yongjiang did not compete for the position below Duan Xun like Dai Kan and Yang Yongtai.He has always been in charge of economic issues.But if he doesn't compete with Dai Kan and Yang Yongtai, it doesn't mean that he will allow other people to reach into the department under his jurisdiction.Because Wang Yongjiang has followed Duan Xun since he was in the west of Henan, and has been with Duan Xun for 12 years.He has always been Duan Xun's housekeeper, the God of Wealth.He is Duan Xun's most trusted and most important member.

Therefore, Wang Yongjiang did his part to establish such a department.

"Okay. That being the case, Premier Wang will be the head of the preparatory team. Minister Jiang (Jiang Hongyu), Commissioner Yu (Yu Youren), Minister Liang (Liang Huankui) of the Ministry of Industry, and Minister Song (Song Hanzhang) of the Ministry of Commerce will serve as the preparatory team. Deputy group leader. In the economic development planning committee, there must be an organization that connects with all departments. It is now August, and I hope that the economic development planning committee can be formally established at the end of February or early March next year. Therefore, the preparatory group must be as soon as possible Work to develop the departmental structure of the Economic Development Planning Commission and get it approved by the Cabinet."

With the establishment of such an important department, it is impossible for anyone to eat alone.Even Duan Xun couldn't eat them all.In such a department, everyone must sit in rows and share results.

During the establishment of the department, the powerful factions in the cabinet will participate in the division.Duan Xun knew this.But politics is like this. If anyone wants to monopolize all the benefits, the final result must be that the wall is overthrown by everyone.Just like Yuan Shikai wanted to turn the world into the Yuan family, but in the end he could only rebel against relatives, and the Beiyang army he built was also a counterattack.That's why Duan Xun will give them half a year of preparation time, so that everyone has the opportunity to participate.

Duan Xun only needs to control some important departments so that the new departments can implement his will.It is not necessary to take all the good positions.

"That's right. If you want to formulate an economic development plan, you must have enough data. I have led troops to fight, so I know one thing, that is, knowing yourself and the enemy on the battlefield can win every battle. The most important thing is to know yourself. The most accurate measures can only be made based on the situation. The same is true for our plans. We must make the best plan according to the results of our investigation and according to local conditions. This is the purpose of establishing the Economic Development Planning Committee. I think the Bureau of Investigation Director Zhang Jia’ao will serve as an assistant to the head of the preparatory team for Premier Wang. After the establishment of the Economic Development Planning Commission, Director Zhang Jia’ao will be appointed as the assistant to the director, serving as an advisor to Premier Wang and providing some data.”

Duan Xun spoke casually.

But many people immediately looked at Zhang Jiaao who had been silent for a year and a half.Although Duan Xun only gave him a so-called position of assistant to the team leader and assistant to the director, Zhang Jiaao reappeared in front of everyone and entered such a hot department.It still made many people start to pay attention to Zhang Jiaao again.

Because Zhang Jiaao has a characteristic that none of them can ignore.

young.

A year-and-a-half of silence at the Census Bureau, but he's only 36 now.And his level is there, and he may change his position at any time and become a hot political leader again.

Zhang Jiaao sat in the back very calmly.

But the mood is still very excited.Because he understands that he wants to return to everyone's sight and re-enter the core field of politics.

Wang Yongjiang looked at Zhang Jiaao and nodded.When Zhang Jiaao was the president of the Bank of China, he was Wang Yongjiang's right-hand man.Helping Wang Yongjiang to rectify China's finance is a very important cadre of Wang Yongjiang.

So he said: "The basis of our planning is various survey data. The work of the Bureau of Survey and Statistics is very important. I think it is very appropriate to have Director Zhang Jiaao as my assistant."

"That's good."

Duan Xun said: "Then this matter has passed. After lunch, a special cabinet committee meeting will be held in the afternoon, mainly discussing diplomatic issues. Foreign Minister Yan Shichao will be present. The meeting is adjourned now."

"Several, it's really hard work."

When Duan Xun returned to Beijing and was having a meeting, Deng Yanda had already arrived in Heilongjiang.First came to Harbin by train, then changed from Harbin to a car, and finally changed to a carriage.

There is still some way to go.

Heilongjiang in Duan Xun's time and space is a major grain-producing province, the largest grain-producing province in China, even surpassing Henan.The annual grain output exceeds 1000 billion catties, and even reached about 1300 billion catties at the peak.
