Official Way: Starting from Township Civil Servants

It was already after eight o'clock in the evening when Wang Yi left the hotel. Fortunately, there were already taxis in Rongjiang County. Wang Yi hailed a taxi and returned to Lingguan Town.

Regarding the fact that the sand mining ship of Jianfeng Group bribed the Secretary and Mayor of Lingguan Town and that Qi Kuangsheng had accepted the bribe, Wang Yi had no intention of reporting it to his superiors.

Because if you report such a small problem anonymously, it will basically just go away, but if you report it with a real name, it will be endless. Wang Yi believes that now is not the time, and it has not really gone that far.

Although Wang Yi was extremely vigilant at this time to prevent possible retaliation, he still harbored a glimmer of fantasy, that is, the city would soon announce the 'Song Yun Legacy' project, and there would be no more sand mining ships in Lingguan Town. , then this matter will be over.

Wang Yi went to work as usual the next day, and Qi Kuangsheng went to work as usual. They even greeted each other perfunctorily when they met, and the meeting was no different from usual.

In this way, October ended quietly. Wang Yi sometimes forgot about it. The plans he and Ren Min and Deng Kai made became more and more detailed. Even the renderings of the ancient town were drawn with the help of one of Deng Kai's classmates. Several pictures were published.

Computer renderings will not be used on a large scale until the millennium. Now there is no one in Banan City that can produce them, so these renderings are all hand-drawn. Fortunately, Wang Yi has a picture in his mind. As long as he talks in detail, the hand-drawn effect will be Very good too.

On Tuesday, November [-]rd, the Banan City Government arrived without warning. A car from the provincial capital arrived. When the car left the provincial capital, the Banan City Government received a notice to prepare for the arrival of the car. , it is said that the State Administration of Cultural Heritage has officially approved the Lingguan Tower in Lingguan Town, Rongjiang County as a national key cultural relic protection unit.

The relevant documents were delivered personally by the director of the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau, a department-level cadre. As soon as the car entered the city hall, the deputy mayor in charge of culture and education had been waiting for him for a long time.

At this time, the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee was also convening, and what was being discussed was not any major matter, but the 300 million yuan that had been handed down together with the Lingguan Building Cultural Preservation Documents.

This time, even the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau was surprised. They were not the ones to submit the Lingguan Tower project. However, among the latest batch of national key cultural relics protection units, Lingguan Tower became the only approved project in Jiangbei Province. The project was originally submitted by the province. Both projects were unsuccessful.

What surprised the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau even more was that along with the documents, there was a special fund of 300 million yuan. According to the above statement, Lingguan Building is of great cultural relic and cultural value, but it has been in disrepair and needs rescue protection. Therefore, a special special fund of 300 million was allocated.

You must know that the national budget for cultural relics protection in 98 was only 7 million. Most of the 1000 million was allocated to world cultural heritage projects. The rest was distributed to each province, which was only a little over [-] million. Some provinces have few historical and cultural monuments. Save even a few million.

Because it is the end of the year, this money has actually been allocated a long time ago. Jiangbei Province only has more than 100 million yuan this year, and it has been used up. This time there is an additional 300 million yuan, and it is allocated proactively. This is not only unlike the past of the General Administration There seems to be no precedent for this style of work.

To be honest, this amount of money is not a small amount at this time, and the heads of the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau are very jealous. Fortunately, the director is still clear-headed. He knows that there is something fishy about this matter, and he does not fight against it despite everyone's opinions. The entire amount of the money was allocated to Banan City.

"I think this amount should be supervised and planned by the city. It's the end of the year again, and there are relatively large gaps in many places. The renovation of the Lingguan Building won't be possible in a few months." At the beginning of the meeting, someone suggested misappropriation This amount of money is not to put it mildly.

"How can this be done? It is mentioned above that it is a special fund and it is allocated to the city government. We cannot bear this responsibility." Vice Mayor Qian knew how the money came from and was the first to disagree.

As soon as Vice Mayor Qian finished his statement, Xie Kaifeng, the full-time deputy secretary, said: "Speaking of this matter, I would like to criticize Jiang Shanshan, the county magistrate, and what is the name of the mayor of Lingguan Town? So big They didn’t report everything to the city in advance. Although the matter was done, it was too unorganized and disciplined. How can such cadres safely let them manage large sums of money?"

"Deputy Secretary Kai Feng, let me explain again, because this declaration is not a normal process. It was made by Mayor Wang Yi of Lingguan Town who went to the capital to make connections. Naturally, he was not sure at the beginning, so there was no The formal report is coming. However, Wang Yi and Jiang Shanshan came to the city government to report to me, and I agreed to it at the time. As the executive deputy mayor, I should still have this right, right?" Vice Mayor Qian and Deputy Secretary Xie Kaifeng has been a bit difficult to deal with recently, so when he spoke at the Standing Committee, he used both guns and sticks.

"Actually, this is a good thing. The comrades below are self-reliant and have obtained funds from above. This should be praised. However, after all, young comrades are not experienced enough. Deputy Secretary Kai Feng is afraid that they will not be able to use the money wisely, so it is inappropriate to propose supervision. It's okay." At this time, the secretary acted as a peacemaker. In fact, the old secretary was more like making peace with the mud now.

Because since Deputy Mayor Qian joined the Standing Committee, the mayor has become more and more powerful, especially not long ago when the city government forcibly promoted what most people considered to be radical reforms of township enterprises.

Banan City's municipal party committee secretary has reached his age, and he has no political expectations anymore. The mayor and Vice Mayor Qian were in harmony on the Standing Committee, and the old secretary didn't bother to fight, and just wanted to live in peace until retirement.

However, there was no competition for the secretary, so the main conflict shifted to the full-time deputy secretary Xie Kaifeng and the municipal government.

There is actually something to say here, because once the old secretary leaves, it is customary for the mayor to be promoted to secretary, and Xie Kaifeng, the full-time deputy secretary, takes on the responsibility of the mayor.

But now that the mayor is so strong, and he will become the secretary when the time comes, even if Xie Kaifeng becomes the mayor, he will be completely ignored, so he must suppress the mayor's system as much as possible before that, otherwise he will only be in the same situation in the future. It will be harder.

Rongjiang County is the headquarters of Deputy Secretary Xie Kaifeng, and the current secretary Zhu Weiping is his confidant, so he also has a great say in matters in Rongjiang County.

"If we don't make a compromise, transfer the money to the Rongjiang County Committee, and let the county committee democratically determine the use, which will also facilitate supervision." Xie Kaifeng followed the secretary's words and said.

When Deputy Mayor Qian heard this, there was no difference between saying this and not saying anything. If he went to the county party committee, wouldn't it mean that he was in Xie Kaifeng's pocket?

So he objected bluntly: "I don't agree. Let the party committee do everything. Then what does the government do? The party committee does what the government should do. Who is responsible for problems?"

What Deputy Mayor Qian said is very serious, and this is also a problem that has always existed in the Republic. Both high-level officials and local governments are aware of this problem, but it has never been solved well.

Even the great man tried to solve this problem more than ten years ago when he was still alive, but ultimately failed.

However, the great man directly and clearly stated the seriousness of the problem, and the same general statement was made by Deputy Mayor Qian. This has also become the main point of contradiction between the party and the government.

Problems that cannot be solved do not mean that there are no results. At this time, it is actually very simple, and that is to see who is stronger.

Usually the secretary is strong in a place, but the situation in Banan City is a bit special now.

At this time, the mayor finally spoke: "There are clear regulations in the organization. The secretary is in charge of personnel and grasps the general policy, and the government is in charge of finance and economy, and is responsible for specific implementation. The government's affairs are left to the government, and the money is transferred to the county government. Originally, It is also a special fund. Is it possible that someone else wants to misappropriate it? I think Jiang Shanshan and Wang Yi are very capable young cadres. They were the ones who accomplished the matter, so let them be responsible to the end. In addition, Deputy Qian The mayor also mentioned to me before that young people are actually very measured in doing things, and we should give them less restraints."

The mayor's statement was much more tactful than Vice Mayor Qian's, but he spoke of a government, and the implicit power struggle was self-evident.

In the current situation in Banan City, the mayor has to carry this banner. In addition to controlling the city government, a mayor is also very important to control the following districts and counties. It was difficult for him to intervene in Rongjiang County before, but now Naturally, he would not let this opportunity pass him by.
