Beiyang reactionaries

But how do you object today.

"Prime Minister, I have some objections to this institutional reform. I think the water conservancy project has some relationship with the Ministry of Communications, but not much. On the contrary, it has the most relationship with our agriculture, so it is very inappropriate for the Ministry of Communications to be responsible for water conservancy work. Since The Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Railways, and the General Post Office have been separated, and the water conservancy department should also be separated. Therefore, I propose that a separate Ministry of Water Conservancy be established in this institutional reform to be responsible for the construction of water conservancy throughout the country. A qualified water conservancy project will bring us a lot Excellent land. At this stage, I think the most important thing in China is the food issue, and the agricultural issue is the most important.”

"Establish the Ministry of Water Resources separately?"

"Yes. If the Ministry of Water Resources is established separately, I recommend Li Yizhi to be the head of the newly established Ministry of Water Resources. Establish a separate Ministry of Water Resources and let the Ministry of Water Resources make a national water conservancy plan."

Duan Xun nodded.

What Zhang Lan said made sense.The complete independence of the water conservancy department also shows that the government attaches great importance to the water conservancy department.In discussing institutional reforms, the reason why the Ministry of Water Resources was not named is because the Ministry of Railways and the General Post Office are more important than the Ministry of Water Resources.Another point is that the government's current finances are not rich, and the amount that can be invested in water conservancy projects is very limited.

"President Yu (Yu Youren), what do you think?"

"The words of Chief Zhang (Zhang Lan) are very reasonable. The water conservancy department does not have much to do with the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Railways, and the General Post Office. It is indeed good to let him go out independently."

"kindness."

Duan Xun thought for a while and said: "Then the matter of the Ministry of Water Resources is confirmed in this way. Let Li Yizhi be the head of the Ministry of Water Resources, and let Cao Du be the deputy director of the Ministry of Water Resources. Cousin, what do you think about the separation of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry from the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce?" What are the opinions of the Ministry of Energy and the Ministry of Energy?"

The departments separated this time are basically from the Ministry of Communications and the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce.

Because these two departments manage too much.Needless to say, the Ministry of Communications, the same is true for the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce. The Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce began to be called the Ministry of Agriculture and Industry. It is responsible for agriculture, industry, commerce, mining, fishery, and forestry.

Anyway, there are countless things to manage.

But funds are limited.

And many departments are actually irrelevant.Just like industry, commerce, and mining, they have little to do with agriculture, fishery, and forestry.It is also inappropriate for the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce to be responsible for so many things.

The reason why the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce was responsible for so many things in the past was because China itself did not have any industry, commerce, or mining.So there is no problem in combining them and managing them together.

But not now.

Although China is still an agricultural country at present, as the government invests more and more funds in industry and mining, and after the government encourages business, the development in this area is still very fast.

Greater attention must therefore be paid to these sectors.

"I support."

Zhang Lan nodded.

After Zhang Lan became the head of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, he was mainly responsible for agriculture.

Yu Youren didn't know much about commerce, industry, and mining.Although there are departments responsible for these under the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, as the head of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, Yu Youren doesn't understand these things very well, which also delays a lot of things.

Moreover, if these departments are combined, there will be great contradictions in other departments below.

Because Duan Xun is currently attaching great importance to industry and mining, he has invested more money here.In this way, the same department received different funds, and some departments were of course not convinced.

Moreover, Yu Youren paid the most attention to agriculture, so he naturally favored agriculture in his department.

This is a contradiction.

Duan Xun hoped to develop mining and industry, but Yu Youren devoted more energy and funds to agriculture.Although Duan Xun is the prime minister of the cabinet, he will not interfere with the work of various departments of the cabinet at will.

Here's the program.

So separating them is imperative.

Zhang Lan didn't object either.Because Zhang Lan can feel that he is powerless in industry, commerce, and mining.Zhang Lan is not the kind of person who monopolizes power. If he doesn't understand, he just doesn't understand, and he won't pretend to understand.

"Biao Lao, you are the head of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce. You are more familiar with the newly established Ministry of Industry, Commerce, and Resources than anyone else. Please recommend some candidates to us to see who is more suitable."

"Prime Minister, then I will say it boldly. Song Yuren, director of the Minerals Department, has been in charge of national resource surveys and the formulation of national resource policies. Therefore, I recommend Song Yuren as the director of the Ministry of Resources. I recommend the former president of China University of Geosciences (in Chengdu) and the current president of China Geology The director of the committee, Ding Wenjiang, is the deputy minister of resources."

"Biao Lao, isn't Fu Lao (Song Yuren) a bit old?"

Duan Xun was a little worried.

Song Yuren is 65 years old this year.The resources department is not a small matter, and there are many things that need to be dealt with in the future.

Zhang Lan smiled and said: "Prime Minister, the Ministry of Resources is a newly established department. My opinion is the same as that of Chief Yu. The most important thing for a newly established department is stability and a stable transition. Fu Lao (Song Yuren) has been In charge of national resource exploration and development, no one understands this aspect better than Fu Lao."

"A regenerated body?"

"He's in good health. He can still go to the front line to take charge of the exploration."

"Well, that's good. Cousin, you continue."

Duan Xun nodded.

As long as Song Yuren's health is okay, Duan Xun will of course agree.After all, Song Yuren is 65 years old, and he will only work for one term at most.Some people, such as young people like Ding Wenjiang, can be allowed to study for a few years, and they can just take over.After all, Song Yuren is experienced, has done a lot of work, and is very familiar with the resource industry.

Being able to learn from him is of great benefit to young people.

For Ding Wenjiang, Duan Xun can only be sorry.

Because Ding Wenjiang was supposed to be an academic talent, he should have higher academic achievements.It's a pity that since Duan Xun followed Duan Xun from the west of Henan, because Duan Xun really lacks talents, he has been in charge of administration while teaching at the same time.

When he was in Southwest China, he was not only a professor of geology at Sichuan University and Southwest Associated University, but also the president of China University of Geosciences.He is also a member of the Resources Committee under Duan Xun's Southwest Frontier Defense Supervision Office and the director of the Geological Exploration Bureau.After Duan Xun entered Beijing, he became the director of the National Geological Committee.

Now he has gradually become an administrative talent.

"Ministry of Industry, I recommend Liang Huankui, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce and concurrently the director of the Department of Industry, as the chief minister of the Ministry of Industry, and I recommend Ren Hongjun, director of the National Iron and Steel Development Committee, as the deputy minister of the Ministry of Industry."

"What about the Commerce Department?"

"Prime Minister, I will not speak on this aspect. Although the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce is also in charge of commerce, since I became the head of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, I have not taken any measures for commerce, and I don't know much about it."

Duan Xun nodded.

For Zhang Lan, Duan Xun can only say that he is a worker.But it is absolutely impossible for this person to become a bigwig in the political field.Because at such a moment, he doesn't know how to recommend his own people, and he doesn't know how to manage.

But it is precisely because of this that Duan Xun is more at ease in handing over the Ministry of Agriculture to Zhang Lan.

Because he has no ambition.

He is very conscientious and does his best in what he is responsible for.

"Premier Wang, you have always been in charge of the government's economic issues. Let's see who is more suitable to be the head of the Ministry of Commerce."

Duan Xun turned his head and asked Wang Yongjiang.

Wang Yongjiang pondered for a moment and said: "Prime Minister, I think Song Hanzhang, who is currently the vice president of the Bank of China and the general manager of the Shanghai Branch, is very suitable to be the head of the Commerce Department. Undersecretary."

Wang Yongjiang is very low-key.

Because Wang Yongjiang has always been mainly responsible for economic issues, his power is concentrated in the economic field.Especially after Wang Yongjiang became the chief minister of the Ministry of Finance, and later became the deputy prime minister of the cabinet, the Ministry of Finance, the State Administration of Taxation, and major banks have all become the scope of Wang Yongjiang's management.
