The chief and deputy chief of the Ministry of Communications at most know one or two of them.It is impossible to understand everything.You don't understand at all, but you have to care about it. How can you be comprehensive and develop everything.

The talents needed in each field are different, and combining them forcefully will delay a lot of things.

If it is the 21st century, with advanced information, easy management, and simple communication between top and bottom, then it is no problem for the Ministry of Communications to have so many functions.Even this can reduce a lot of procedures and troubles.But in this kind of thing now, these departments are mixed together, which will affect the development of these departments and affect the development efficiency.

In the current situation, it is best for professional departments to do professional things.

This is the score.

But in the future, with the development of technology, information, and management, these departments can be reunited.This is the separation and combination of institutional reform.

The current situation is suitable for division, and I don't know when it may be more suitable for reunion in the future.

"Prime Minister, let me tell you what our Ministry of Communications thinks."

In this institutional reform, the Ministry of Communications has undergone the biggest change.Because in the institutional reform proposed this time, the Ministry of Railways will be separated from the Ministry of Communications, and the General Post Office will be separated.

Previously, the Railway Development Management Committee and the General Post Office were all departments under the Ministry of Communications.It means that a large part of the newly established Ministry of Electric Power is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Communications.

But this time we have to be independent.

The Ministry of Railways is mainly in charge of national railway construction, formulating national railway standards, and supervising national railway operations.Anyway, as long as things related to the railway, no matter whether it is government-run, private-run, or joint-run by the government and the people, including some foreign investment in the future, they must accept the leadership of the Ministry of Railways.

And the power of the Postal Service is not small.

In charge of postal services, telegrams, and telephones across the country, they must be under the command of the General Post Office.Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, telegraphs and telephones across the country have developed rapidly.

At present, major cities across the country, as well as some military bases, basically have telegraph agencies that pull telegraph lines.And the development of radio in recent years is also very fast.

And several important cities, the current telephone development is also very fast.

Pulled a lot of phone lines.

These are the responsibility of the General Post Office.

The Ministry of Electric Power is known by its name and is responsible for the national electric power sector.That is to say, the power plants and power facilities built across the country should be under the management of the Ministry of Electric Power.

However, the Ministry of Electric Power is not only a part of the Ministry of Communications, but also a part of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce.Because many power plants are currently hydropower plants, which are related to the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce.

"Mr. Yu (Yu Youren), please tell me. The Ministry of Communications is the most involved in this organizational reform. It was supposed to listen to the opinions of the Ministry of Communications. How to carry out reforms, how to separate, and the staffing, the Ministry of Communications has the say maximum."

Duan Xun asked Yu Youren to speak.

Because of this institutional reform, since it involves the Ministry of Communications.Then the Ministry of Communications has the greatest right to speak for its own department.Moreover, this is to weaken the strength of the Ministry of Communications, and in some respects, the Ministry of Communications has to make concessions.

Politics is all about compromise.

Weakened the strength of the Ministry of Communications, but also to give the Ministry of Communications some sweetness.

"Prime Minister, I have served as the head of the Ministry of Communications for two years, and I know a lot about the situation of the Ministry of Communications. I am in favor of the institutional reform of the Ministry of Communications, listing the Ministry of Railways and the General Post Office separately, and establishing an electric power that is responsible for the national power industry I think it is appropriate and necessary to develop these professional fields with professionals. But I think there are still some problems.”

"President Yu, we are all ears."

"Highways, water transportation, and railways and telegraphs, telephones, post offices, including electric power departments require professionals in specialized fields to carry out professional planning. However, although these fields are different from each other, they are also related to each other. They cannot be independent. Therefore, Prime Minister, I think institutional reform is correct, and separation is also correct. But again, they cannot be completely separated, and they still need to cooperate with each other."

Duan Xun nodded.

Yu Youren's statement is also correct.

These departments, because they each need different things, so it is right to separate them for their own development.However, these departments are still inextricably linked and need to cooperate with each other.Therefore, it cannot be said that there is no communication at all.

"What Director Yu said makes sense. Our third bill, which is some personnel arrangements for the cabinet and the jurisdiction of cabinet members. It was originally the next topic for discussion, but since Director Yu said it, we can also discuss it in advance As General Manager Yu said, put aside the Ministry of Electric Power first, and the Ministry of Communications, Ministry of Railways, and the General Post Office have something in common. Road construction, railway construction, water transportation construction, postal construction, telegraph and telephone construction, all It is to increase the development of transportation, increase mutual exchanges, and develop the speed of logistics. The development of roads and railways will lead to the development of postal services. Therefore, my proposal is that Chief Yu, as a cabinet member, will be in charge of the newly established Ministry of Communications, The Ministry of Railways, the General Post Office. What do you think?"

"It's a good way."

Yang Yongtai spoke first.

Moreover, Yang Yongtai said very directly: "Prime Minister, since he is a cabinet member, I think that among the cabinet members, the departments in charge of the cabinet members should be clearly divided. And each cabinet member, except for some special departments, no longer specifically serves as a certain department. The chiefs of each department. The chiefs of each department are mainly responsible for the affairs of their own departments, and they all do things within their professional scope. The cabinet members participate in the policy formulation of the cabinet and lead the several departments they are responsible for."

When Yang Yongtai said this, many people were shocked.

Because according to Yang Yongtai, the cabinet meeting is to be turned into a cabinet committee meeting.In the future, the policies of the cabinet will be decided by the cabinet members at meetings, and the chief minister of the cabinet will gradually lose the qualifications of the cabinet meetings.

More importantly, once the management scope of the cabinet members is divided, the cabinet members will really directly become the superiors of the cabinet chief in the future.

"Premier Yang (Yang Yongtai), what is a special department? And if the cabinet members are in charge of the work of certain departments, who is responsible for the personnel and finance of each ministries and commissions? It is the direct leaders of each ministries and commissions, and the heads of each ministries and commissions. , Undersecretaries and the others, or the cabinet members in charge of various ministries and commissions?"

Jiang Hongyu, chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, spoke.

Because the Ministry of Internal Affairs is responsible for the personnel affairs of government agencies.Regarding what Yang Yongtai suddenly raised, Jiang Hongyu had to know in detail.Because what Yang Yongtai said is likely to affect other departments and the construction of local governments in the future.

"Special department? Analyze the specific situation. For example, Chief Jiang (Jiang Hongyu) has just become the chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and is responsible for government personnel issues. You cannot give up the position of chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs just because Chief Jiang is currently a member of the cabinet. .In other words, it is not a special department, it should be a special situation.”

Yang Yongtai replied with a smile.

Then he continued: "As for the specific work of personnel and finance of each department, of course each department is responsible for it. The cabinet members are in charge of each department, mainly as supervision, guidance, and contact work. The main work of cabinet members in the future is not only in charge of various departments The job is to formulate cabinet policies and be responsible for the appointment of officials at a certain level in the government."

The heads of the various departments originally heard that the internal affairs of the personnel and finance of each department are the responsibility of each department itself.Although the cabinet members are in charge of various departments, they only supervise, guide, and contact these tasks, so that they can breathe a sigh of relief.

Nothing terrible.

A cabinet member who does not have powers such as personnel and finances may not be as powerful as other cabinet chiefs.But the following words let them understand again that cabinet members are cabinet members.

Because cabinet members directly participate in the formulation of cabinet policies and directly participate in the appointment of government officials.

It is equivalent to saying that the appointment of the chief ministers of the cabinet is in the hands of these cabinet members.Under such circumstances, although the cabinet members do not have the power to directly manage the various departments, none of the chiefs and deputy ministers of the departments dare to underestimate the cabinet members.If you offend these cabinet members, who knows how they will treat those cabinet chiefs and deputy ministers during meetings.

But Duan Xun above agrees.

restrict each other.

Cabinet members supervise the work of various departments. Similarly, cabinet members, as leaders in charge, can coordinate the problems of several departments.Let several departments cooperate to develop.

But it has no right to interfere with the real power of various departments such as personnel and finance.

"Prime Minister Dai, what do you think?"

Duan Xun raised his head and asked Dai Kan.

Dai Kan's mood was really complicated.When it comes to specific matters and handling specific tasks, Dai Kan is not afraid of Yang Yongtai.Yang Yongtai has a lot of bad habits of scholars. In fact, he has not really done some front-line things for so many years.That is, no specific jobs are really dealt with.It has always been the high-end route.

In comparison, Dai Kan has been in charge of many front-line affairs, and has even led soldiers.He has been in charge of some specific work since before the Xinhai Year, and has been in charge of a lot of government work since the Xinhai Year.In this regard, Dai Kan is definitely not afraid of Yang Yongtai.

But Yang Yongtai is too capable in politics.

This kind of institutional reform, trying to figure out Duan Xun's ideas, is not only not inferior to Dai Kan, but even surpasses Dai Kan in terms of policy formulation in the general direction.

Every time this kind of meeting, Dai Kan can feel the threat of Yang Yongtai.
