Official Ladder [Grassroots Civil Servants]

After going to work the next day, Wang Hongtao reviewed the documents, saw the central government's implementation opinions on institutional reforms, and began to study them carefully to understand the spirit and intent of the documents.

After watching for more than an hour, Wang Hongtao called Tuo Xiaojun and said, "Notify the mayor, deputy secretary, secretary of the Disciplinary Committee, executive deputy mayor, organization minister, editorial office, Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, Finance Bureau and other relevant units to hold a meeting Institutional Reform Seminar."

The institutional reform has been rumored for a while, and Tuo Xiaojun immediately went out to make arrangements when he heard the news. After 10 minutes, he came in and reported: "Secretary, the mayor went out to accompany the Provincial Department of Agriculture to investigate, and he had to return to the city hall after ten o'clock. I have notified the meeting until eleven o'clock."

"Okay, go and make a copy of the document, and I will convey the spirit of the document later."

Taking advantage of this time, Wang Hongtao continued to plan how to carry out institutional reforms.

At [-]:[-], Tuo Xiaojun came in to report that the mayor had already arrived in the meeting room, and all the participants had arrived.

Wang Hongtao got up and went to the meeting room, which was next door. It was mainly for the convenience of the secretary's work. The Standing Committee basically held meetings here. Unless it was an enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee, there would be no room to sit here. You had to go to the government meeting rooms.

Wang Hongtao sat in the middle and said: "Comrades, the Central Committee's opinions on institutional reform have been released, and everyone has a copy. Let's take a look first, and we will discuss it in five minutes."

Reading documents is a must-have skill for every leader. Don’t think it’s easy. It takes a few minutes to understand the content, grasp key points, and find ideas. It’s a test of a person’s ability. It is estimated that answering the reading comprehension questions is not a big problem.

Five minutes later, Wang Hongtao said: "I will not convey the significance, guiding ideology, goals, and principles of institutional reform in detail. Let me talk about my feelings and opinions. It leads everything. Strengthening the leadership of the party in all fields and all aspects of work is the primary task of deepening institutional reform. Second, transforming government functions and optimizing government institutional settings and functional allocation are important tasks of this institutional reform. The document states I realized that it is necessary to rationally set up local institutions, build a work system that runs smoothly from the central government to the local government, is full of vitality, and orders and prohibits orders, and straightens out the relationship between responsibilities. What I understand is that there are departments in the central government, and we have departments that are consistent from top to bottom. Functions and institutions Copy it completely, and don’t set up one more department.”

Mayor Hu Hao said: "Secretary, I have been paying attention to institutional reform. There are four main tasks: first, the establishment of an administrative approval bureau. Our Qin Province is a pilot province for administrative approval in the country. From now on, one unit will be in charge of all approvals. , the examination and approval authority of all units must be handed over to the Administrative Approval Bureau; second, the Market Supervision Bureau will be established. Finally, it is simply a giant. These two units are the focus of most attention, and who will be the chief is also a hot topic; third, the Veterans Affairs Bureau should be established; fourth, the Medical Insurance Bureau should be established. To deal with it, the rest is to merge, the city government currently has 59 departments.”

Wang Hongtao wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of institutional reform to completely reduce the number of units in Chang'an City, build a simple, efficient, scientific and standardized functional system, and reduce financial expenditures.Besides, do you really need so many departments to manage a place?so many people?Even if one-third of the departments and cadres in Chang'an are cut off, will Chang'an stop functioning?

"Comrades, the central government is constantly streamlining administration, delegating power, optimizing and reorganizing the organization, and we must follow this principle. Therefore, the department settings of the municipal government must be the most optimal and simplest. Combined with the spirit of the document, let me talk about my First, the Municipal Development and Reform Commission, which merged the Bureau of Commerce, Grain Bureau, and Price Bureau; second, the Science and Technology Bureau; third, the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau; Industrial Development Zone; Fifth, the Judicial Bureau, merged with the Legal Affairs Office of the municipal government; Sixth, established the Natural Resources Bureau, merged the Land Bureau and the Planning Bureau; seventh, established the Ecological Environment Bureau; eighth, established the Housing and Construction Bureau, merged the urban and rural areas Construction Committee, Municipal Housing Security and Housing Administration Bureau, Municipal Rail Transit Construction Office; Ninth, Transportation Bureau, assigning the Municipal Rail Transit Construction Office's rail transit operation industry management and other responsibilities; Tenth, Urban Management and Law Enforcement Bureau; No .11. Establish the Agriculture and Rural Bureau, merge all agricultural system units; No.12, Water Affairs Bureau; No.13, Establish the Culture and Tourism Bureau, merge the Municipal Tourism Development Committee, the Municipal Culture, Radio, Television, Press and Publication Bureau, and the Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau, and add The brand of the Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics; No.14, the establishment of the Health and Health Commission, the merger of the Family Planning Bureau, the Office of the Municipal Leading Group for Deepening the Reform of the Medical and Health System, and the Office of the Municipal Aging Work Committee; No.15, the establishment of the Bureau of Veterans Affairs; No.16, the establishment of the Emergency Response Administration Bureau; No.17, Audit Bureau; No.18, Establish Market Supervision Bureau, Merge Industry and Commerce Bureau, Food and Drug Administration, Quality Supervision Bureau; No.19, Petition Bureau; No.20, Establish Administrative Approval Bureau, All approval authority of the unit is assigned to the Administrative Approval Bureau; No.20 20. Formation of the Medical Insurance Bureau; No.20 20. Establishment of the Big Data Resources Management Bureau; No.20 25. Establishment of the Financial Work Bureau; No.25 [-]. Commerce Bureau; No.[-] [-]. Set up the Investment Cooperation Bureau and merge some of the functions of the China Merchants Group. The municipal government has retained [-] administrative function bureaus, and all public institutions must be merged into these [-] functional bureaus. The Municipal Party Committee, People's Congress, Political Consultative Conference, and Group The organization connects with the provincial party committee, and we are studying in detail what to keep at the top."

Hu Zhongqiang, deputy secretary, sighed: "The secretary has a far-sighted view and has compressed the functions of the organization to the optimum. However, many units will become giants, such as the Administrative Approval Bureau and the Market Supervision Bureau. Faced with several directors competing for a position, I am afraid they will fight for their heads. Also, the arrangement of the directors and deputy directors of the merged units is also a big problem. The deputy director can say that if he continues to be his deputy director, there may be more than a dozen deputy directors. What should the director do? Deputy director, it's a bit unreasonable."

Wang Hongtao said: "Secretary Hu has considered very well, streamlining 34 units, there will indeed be more than 100 deputy department-level and department-level cadres. According to the principle of new methods for newcomers and old methods for old people, deputy employees will continue to work in new units. Deputies and principals are organized and placed centrally. There will definitely be seven or eight, or even more than a dozen deputy directors in a unit. If it doesn’t matter, if the number is overstaffed, it will be overstaffed. The state allows it. This is the bitter fruit that must be borne by the reform. But we must follow the principles of institutional reform , Overstaffing units are not allowed to recruit, transfer, or promote. When the overstaffing phenomenon is completely digested, fresh blood can be replenished. This is also the country's long-term consideration. According to the national plan, each province, city, and county will assign you a designated post There will be a large number of overstaffing phenomena now, but in another ten years or so, our financial support personnel will reach a scientific and reasonable level, which is also an act of error correction. What's more, for other cities, It is a problem to assign leaders beyond the number of posts, but it is not a big problem for Chang'an City. The Commission for Discipline Inspection is still "double-regulating" more than 500 deputy department-level and division-level cadres. Instead, we will have a large number of vacancies that need to be promoted. deployment, to solve the chronic problem of over-staffing of leading cadres at one time."

Wang Hongtao's words made some leaders sigh. Many of the more than 500 leaders are friends and colleagues who have been with each other for many years. It seems that they are basically finished!Now is not even the time to intercede, and the anti-corruption history of this secretary has almost spread all over the city. It is very difficult, very few people are left intact from his hands, and basically all of them have been sentenced, which can indeed free up a lot of leadership positions , but why is it bad?Is it because you are afraid that one day it will be your turn?

Wang Hongtao asked: "Everyone can talk about any ideas and suggestions, pool their efforts and brainstorm, and strive to make the institutional reform plan of Chang'an City operational, possible, and scientific. The plan must be approved by the central government and the provincial government."

Executive Deputy Mayor Zhang Xinwen asked: "Secretary, some units may only be divided into a few points when they are withdrawn and merged. For example, the Salt Bureau, industry management will be divided into the Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, but market supervision will be divided into the new one according to the policy. The Market Supervision Bureau was established. There are many such phenomena. After all, a unit has many functions and responsibilities, and there are good and bad. It can be given to this unit or that unit. few."

Wang Hongtao nodded and said: "Mayor Zhang raised this question in a timely manner. In general, we should refer to the division of responsibilities between the central government and the province. The specific situation will be determined after the editorial office presents the first draft of the 'Three Determination Plans' for the 25 administrative units. When we go to the Standing Committee to discuss, we must combine the reality of Chang’an City and follow the principles that are conducive to work.”

Li Xiwen, director of the editorial office, asked for instructions: "Secretary, after the merger, the administrative establishment of some units will be overstaffed. For example, a unit has 15 civil servants, but there may be 30 leaders after the merger, but the leadership establishment is only a dozen. Overstaffing these people How to deal with the salary and position?"

Wang Hongtao said: "It's still the same thing, new methods for newcomers, old methods for old people, what is the establishment and treatment, the level remains the same, the treatment does not drop, all continue to be retained, and it must not appear in the reform. Make up, let some people benefit from it, cause everyone's dissatisfaction, we have to use a ruler, fairness is strength."

Hu Hao said: "Actually, the institutional reform ultimately needs to solve the problem of people, reduce the number of leadership positions, and reduce the number of staff. After the institutional reform, it can be temporarily overstaffed, and it will be slowly digested in the future, but there are still 25 problems to be solved at present. For the selection of the leaders of the functional bureaus, we can use all the deputy directors, but the 59 directors have become 25 directors. Just now the secretary said that the Disciplinary Committee took away some people. I counted and took away 7 directors. So, it changed From 52 bureau chiefs to 25 bureau chiefs, there are 27 bureau chiefs to be placed, and I want to arrange them as properly as possible.”

Wang Hongtao nodded and said: "The mayor's words are very good. There are still some vacancies in the counties and districts. A group of bureau chiefs can be selected to go down. The rest will go to the new unit to be the first deputy director. Priority is given to selecting them for job vacancies. In addition, the "three mechanisms" of the central government clearly stipulate that cadres are encouraged and motivated, mistakes are tolerated and corrected, and the mechanism of being able to go up and down. If there is no suitable post for the time being, those bureau chiefs must also obey the organization's distribution and must not bargain. Playing with emotions and throwing temper tantrums, causing bad social impact, otherwise, offenders will be punished. Have no party principles, but still want to be a leader? I don’t think being a cadre is a good cadre! Whoever has an opinion, you can just ask him to come to me , let me explain to him."

Finally, Wang Hongtao said: "Everyone's speeches today are very good. They can brainstorm and fill in gaps in a timely manner. This is how work should be. If you don't understand the reason and don't understand the facts, I hope you will continue to maintain it. I will make three requests below. First, the Organization Department takes the lead, compiles and implements specific implementation, solicits opinions extensively, connects with higher-level departments in a timely manner, and comes up with an institutional reform plan as soon as possible. The Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee discussed and decided; secondly, the Municipal Government and the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee should do a good job in explaining and appeasing the leading cadres of relevant units. 25. Time limit requirements. The institutional reform plan must be released within 2 weeks, the institutional reform must be completed within 1 month, and the personnel must be in place. After the shelf is set up, we are slowly solving any problems. If we want to do it, we must be the first, and we will be the city that completes the institutional reform the fastest in the country.”

After the meeting, the news of organizational reform quickly spread throughout the city, arousing widespread heated discussions. The cadres didn't feel much, but continued to work in another unit, and the leaders were particularly concerned.Therefore, from ancient times to the present, most of the reforms have been aimed at leaders.
