Official Way: Starting from Township Civil Servants

On the third day after Xiao Yuanshan returned from the meeting, Wang Yi received a call from Jiang Shanshan. Jiang Shanshan seemed very excited on the phone.

"Wang Yi, that's great. In the town you went to last time, those guys have been urging and shouting to implement the policy in the past two days. Starting tomorrow, I will take people to the town in person and strive to complete the town within a week. Once it’s done, let’s make a sample first. Next month, the whole county will start to advance simultaneously. We will complete 70% of the county’s goal within a month and strive to basically complete the reform tasks before the year.”

Wang Yi was very happy to hear that the trick was indeed effective. He gave Jiang Shanshan a few more precautions, then hung up the phone and told Xiao Yuanshan the news.

"Leader, there is good news. Secretary Jiang Shanshan called just now. Substantial progress has been made in one town. This town will be made into a model next week. The county's reform progress will reach 70% by the end of November. By the end of the year, The task can basically be completed." Wang Yi reported to Xiao Yuanshan almost word for word.

"Okay, it's indeed good news. Xiao Wang, please make arrangements and make time next week for me to go there in person." Xiao Yuanshan was also happy because of the news, and even immediately decided to go there to see it in person. Of course, it's right to go at this time. Congratulations on Jiang Shanshan’s work.

Wang Yi immediately agreed, then checked his schedule and chose to go to Taichuan County next Friday.

Then because Xiao Yuanshan made it public this time, he notified many departments and told the chief of staff Li Yuan about the matter.

This time when Xiao Yuan went down the mountain, it would definitely not be just one car, one driver and one secretary. There would also be several leaders from the province accompanying him. When he arrived in Pingnan City, he would also be accompanied by city leaders. Wang Yi could no longer arrange it alone.

That night, Wang Yi told Jiang Shanshan the news about Xiao Yuanshan's inspection trip to Taichuan County next Friday. However, since the general office has not yet issued a formal notice, this was regarded as a private disclosure of the news in advance.

"You should not receive the official notice until next Monday, but you can prepare in advance. The leader is very happy this time. It is estimated that when your county completes the reform pilot, you will be getting closer and closer to the deputy director." Wang Yi is also very happy I'm happy. He also played a vital role in this matter. Now that it has achieved initial results, how can I not be happy?

This is the second time Jiang Shanshan has served as secretary of the county party committee in Taichuan County. When the reform pilot is successful, she will be promoted to deputy director in both seniority and age.

Jiang Shanshan will be 36 next year. Being promoted to deputy director at this age means that she has a bright future.

The higher the administrative level, the harder it is to rise. After all, the higher you go, the fewer the positions and the greater the competition. Although there is only one hurdle to reach the deputy director level, countless people cannot get over it in their lifetime.

"If I get promoted, Governor Xiao will definitely not treat you badly. You should be able to become a full-time employee, right?" Jiang Shanshan was more concerned about Wang Yi.

"It's not that simple. When I was working as a secretary, I only had one promotion opportunity, and it was only in the hands of Governor Xiao. But there is no rush. It depends on the leadership's arrangements." Wang Yi is not in a hurry to be promoted. The main thing is It's because Wang Yi is too young, and there is no real change in his current position.

One week soon came and Xiao Yuanshan went to Taichuan County for an inspection as scheduled. The purpose of this inspection was very clear, which was to check the progress of the reform pilot.

Because the purpose was clear, the arrangement was simple. Xiao Yuanshan mainly listened to Jiang Shanshan's report. Some specific data made Xiao Yuanshan couldn't help but nod.

What impressed Xiao Yuanshan the most was that one town animal husbandry station had as many as 56 people. The township leaders below were working hard to pay wages almost all year round.

Witnessed by leaders at the provincial, city and county levels, Xiao Yuanshan praised Jiang Shanshan without hesitation and affirmed Taichuan County's reform pilot.

These are the last days of October, and it seems that there are only the last two months of this year. Before leaving Taichuan, Xiao Yuanshan once again told Jiang Shanshan to work steadily and strive to basically complete the pilot tasks before the year.

"We have leaders who are far-sighted and have set a policy for us. We in Taichuan County will ensure that we complete the task." Jiang Shanshan answered in a very official manner.

Xiao Yuanshan smiled and said nothing, and finally left Taichuan County with great satisfaction.

One year is about to pass. Recently, the frequency and duration of private contact between Jiang Shanshan and Wang Yi has been relatively reduced.

Not only is Jiang Shanshan busy, busy completing the pilot reform before the end of the year, Wang Yi is also busy. In addition to following Xiao Yuanshan every day, he recently also helped Xiao Yuanshan write this year's government work report.

Originally, Wang Yi was not supposed to write this, but Xiao Yuanshan had his own ideas, so he gave the task to Wang Yi.

Of course, it is impossible for Wang Yi to write tens of thousands of words by himself. He first asked other colleagues in the first department and colleagues in the political research office to write a template that was similar to the previous years, and then other colleagues wrote the front and back. Only the most important part in the middle was written by Wang Yi himself.

The year 2000 came to an end soon. January 2001, [-], was the day when the Jiangbei Provincial Congress was held. The opening was also the highlight, which was the government work report delivered by Xiao Yuanshan.

In fact, the reports of various provinces and even the central government are similar every year. However, this year's work report of Governor Xiao of Jiangbei Province caused an uproar in the province and even the country as soon as it was made public.

The beginning of the report is also the same, but when the report reaches the middle, a specific incident and a series of specific data make people with a little knowledge realize the seriousness of the problem.

"This year, under the deployment of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, a pilot work on township institutional reform was carried out in Taichuan County. The pilot was successful and the effect was significant. The following set of data can illustrate the problem..."

"As a pilot city, Taichuan County has reduced its establishment by 1782 employees during this reform, saving more than 90 million yuan in county fiscal expenditures every year. In one town, the annual fiscal expenditure savings reached more than [-] Ten thousand yuan, all these financial savings will be used for infrastructure construction in townships..."

Xiao Yuanshan's government work report quickly spread throughout the country, and the main leaders of the central government immediately noticed it. They even obtained the specific reform data of Taichuan County.

Wang Yi knew that on the afternoon of the work report, Xiao Yuanshan received several calls from the capital. It was obvious that Xiao Yuanshan had stood out among dozens of secretaries and governors.

Due to the success of the pilot project in Taichuan County, the Jiangbei Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government also decided at the end of last year that the province would begin to implement reforms in the new year, and they would be thorough reforms.

Suddenly, a trend of thought spread from Jiangbei and quickly spread across the country, turning the bloated grassroots into elite soldiers full of vitality and serving the people, becoming a consensus.
