Official Ladder [Grassroots Civil Servants]

After Wang Hongtao finished speaking, the participating leaders from provinces, cities, and counties across the country were a little confused, and even a little worried. They had never heard such a harsh speech.

The huge government debt was not formed at one time, but was the result of years of accumulation. Everyone knows how heavy the burden is, how stressful it is, and how difficult it is. Many people's idea is to muddle through, paying off debts while paying off debts. Because of the iron-clad yamen and the smooth flow of officials, problems can be left to the next person to solve. However, the speech just made it clear that until the debt is resolved, no one can be transferred, promoted, or used. If it is really implemented, everyone will be under too much pressure. Who is willing to die in their current position? How to improve in the future?

The leader took the microphone and said solemnly: "In response to the local debt crisis, the central government's original opinion was to 'adhere to the principle of no rescue and take care of the children of other families.' However, Comrade Hongtao took into account the difficulties of local governments and tried his best to fight for everyone. The central government decided to allocate part of its funds to leverage local governments to clear their debts.

There are increasing local debts, and urban investment bonds are not included in the official statistics. The fiscal health of some regions is already in jeopardy. The government's debt arrears is also related to the fact that "new officials ignore old debts". Former officials left their jobs and became officials in different places. Current officials' common prevarication is that they "don't understand the situation." The implication behind this is that the political achievements generated by spending money on projects have been taken away by the predecessor, and the current officials are unwilling to pay off the debts of the predecessor.

In addition, when Comrade Hong Tao reported to me, he mentioned a very important reason. I didn’t listen to him just now. This was to save everyone’s face, so I will tell you!

Although the Administrative Litigation Law has been implemented for many years, people's complaints against officials have not been able to get rid of the embarrassment of "difficulty in filing a case, hearing it, and enforcing it." Debt lawsuits with the government may lead to a "protracted war." When government cadres appear in court to respond to lawsuits, it is considered "official duty" and does not affect their salary and benefits at all. Lawsuits by the public will inevitably delay normal work. If the case is delayed for a long time, the public cannot afford it. In addition, power deviance occurs from time to time, whether it is to 'say hello' to the judiciary, or to 'wear small shoes' for those who have trouble with the power, it may make it difficult for the powerless debt collectors to walk away. Precisely because of the above-mentioned subjective and objective reasons and constraints, government debt has become a flagrant and evil example. To eliminate government debt, it is very important to get rid of power interference and return debt relations to the right track of legal enforcement. This takes into account the maturity of the rule of law and power restriction.

On the other hand, Comrade Hong Tao made a very good suggestion, which is to establish a lifelong accountability system and a responsibility review mechanism for major decisions. Those former officials who incurred huge debts due to improper decisions must be held accountable and punished for life, in order to reduce the impulse of administrators to borrow money and spend money indiscriminately.

Comrades, no one can stand without faith. The same goes for governments. If the government wants to defend the rules, it must set an example and implement them. If you think that rules are only for the common people and you can take the lead in breaking them, you cannot blame society for the accumulation of negative emotions.

I agree with all the measures proposed by Comrade Hong Tao just now. As long as it is a personnel appointment and dismissal proposal put forward by the debt clearance leading group, the Central Committee will study it immediately and give the greatest support to the debt clearance work! Those who seriously default will be placed on a 'blacklist' of dishonesty and severely punished and held accountable. For local governments and departments that default on repayment, the central government will take measures such as deducting and transferring their state deposits and reducing transfer payments to clear the arrears.

This matter has been decided today and must be acted upon immediately. The debt clearance leading group will take the lead and I will pay attention to the whole process! "

The leaders at each branch meeting were shocked after listening to the leader's speech. They had never seen a leader openly support the work of any leader in public. The meaning of this is thought-provoking! But no matter what, this special investigation and clearing efforts have to be taken seriously by everyone!

At the end of the meeting, Secretary of the Guizhou Provincial Party Committee Fu Daiwen hurried into the Guizhou Provincial Video Conference Room and sat cautiously on the main seat vacated by Deputy Secretary Wei Xueshun.

Perhaps consciously, Qian Sheng's video was shown in close-up by the main venue, and Fu Daiwen's actions were clearly visible to the main venue.

Just as Wang Hongtao was about to announce the adjournment of the meeting, the leader asked: "Comrade Dai Wen is very busy. Such an important meeting is long overdue. I hope Qian Province can understand the spirit of the meeting and do a good job in clearing debts!"

Fu Daiwen was sweating profusely, feeling frightened, and kept nodding his head.

After the meeting, the Qingqiang Leading Group held its first member unit meeting since Wang Hongtao took over. Wang Minjie, Deputy Secretary-General of the State Council, Duan Changxing, Minister of Industry and Information Technology, Xia Zhiye, Director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, Han Mingqiu, Minister of Human Resources and Social Security, Niu Xiong, Minister of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, Chang Le, Auditor General of the National Audit Office, attended the meeting.

Wang Hongtao smiled and said: "I will fight in the same trench with you all from now on. Please support my work. We will work together to successfully complete the arrears and salary management tasks assigned by the central government."

Several people expressed their determination to fully support the work of the National Committee and complete their duties well.

Wang Hongtao continued: "The leader just made a statement, 'We must take immediate action today's decision!' This meeting is to remove people. There are 32 inspection teams and 32 team leaders. We must remove people hard and remove hard people. Levels It can’t be lower. You have to be at the department level or above to be able to suppress the situation. The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, and the Audit Office each have 6 people, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has 8 people. How about it? No problem?"

Chang Le, Auditor General of the National Audit Office, asked: “The National Committee, deputy ministers, and directors are each responsible for their own work. It is difficult to carry out special work for a long time. With so many people required, we can only choose from deputy ministerial level inspectors and first and second inspection inspectors. smoke."

Wang Hongtao said: "The second inspection will not be considered, but the first inspection and deputy ministerial level inspectors will be selected."

In central agencies, the total proportion of first- and second-level inspectors is 12%, and the proportion of first-level inspectors in ministerial-level units will not exceed 5%. It is not a big problem to select 6 to 8 people.

In terms of financial remuneration, first-level inspectors perform positions and levels of salary at the main department level, and their remuneration will be higher than that of deputy department and second-level inspectors.

In terms of political treatment, first-level inspectors who are concurrently held by deputy department-level leaders are similar in nature to executive officers; first-level inspectors who are not concurrently held by deputy department leaders are generally ranked after the deputy department’s actual duties, and the treatment that other deputy positions should have is the same. There are also level inspectors.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Wang Hongtao continued: "There are 32 inspection teams, each with 60 people. The debt settlement work is mainly concentrated in your industries. Each ministry has deployed 385 elite soldiers and generals!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this number. 385 people were taken away, and these ministries were basically paralyzed.

The director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission smiled bitterly and said: "State Committee, it's not that we don't support the work of clearing debts. We can't stop all other businesses. We really can't provide so many people. The committee is not rich in manpower. It can be described as stretched. To be honest, it’s difficult to smoke even a hundred people!”

Wang Hongtao smiled and said: "I'm only telling half of what I said. Each inspection team will have 120 people. You are only responsible for implementing half of them. We will cooperate with private enterprises for the other half. There are many professional auditing companies, right? Comrade Chang Le , this work also needs to be implemented by you, and the cost will be borne by the State Office.

Each of your ministries and commissions will draw 385 people, 64 of whom must be drawn from their own ministries and commissions to serve as business guidance, and the remaining 321 people will be drawn from various provinces and cities. You don’t know about the outstanding talents in this industry, right? That’s just 10 people from each province! You can be bold and confident. If any province refuses to release someone, I will personally go to their secretary and governor to ask for someone. In addition, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection also wanted to send four people to each group, and I personally went to ask for them. Counting this way, each inspection team has one team leader and 4 members, which is quite a lot! "

Niu Xiong, the Minister of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, smiled and asked: "Can the State Committee, the quota of 64 ministries and commissions be halved? I mobilized elite soldiers and generals from the province, and the effect is the same. The ministry is a carrot and a pit, and I have 32 people." You have to grit your teeth and slap people!"

Wang Hongtao said without hesitation: "There are 64 people, no discounts can be made. Each group is only equipped with two Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development staff. They are responsible for guiding the settlement of arrears in the field of housing and construction in a province. We must know that many arrears are closely related to housing and construction." , don’t bargain with me! I have agreed in advance that they must be elite soldiers, business backbones, and above the department level. If the people recruited cannot be used, I will reason with you ministers!"

Seeing that it was inevitable to avoid and push back, and the leader had just attached great importance to the work of clearing debts, several ministers simply agreed.

Wang Hongtao emphasized: "All the transferred personnel must be in place on January 1, and Comrade Minjie and Comrade Changxing will be responsible for grouping. Then a one-day training meeting will be held to clarify work tasks and work requirements. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is responsible for formulating a summary table for re-investigation and re-investigation. and detailed tables, try to make the tables as simple, clear and direct as possible. The previous ledgers were too cumbersome and complicated, so don’t spend a lot of energy on the tables and card books. On January 13, 1 inspection teams were stationed in various provinces. I will go to Guizhou Province in person."

Hearing the word "Qian Province", several people murmured in their hearts, is this intentional? It seems that there is a good show in Yunnan Province!

Wang Hongtao does intend to go to Yunnan Province. Since you don't give me face, why should I give you face? When a new official takes office, he must burn out one of the three things, so why not burn down Guizhou Province?

After the meeting, Wang Hongtao kept Deputy Secretary-General Wang Minjie and Minister of Industry and Information Technology Duan Changxing and emphasized some precautions to them. The general coordinator of the entire special operation was Wang Minjie, and Duan Changxing was responsible for the specific operations.

Since the leader showed up at the meeting, Duan Changxing's work enthusiasm has been extremely high, making Wang Hongtao not sure whether he should "deal with" him.

Forget it, there are so many corrupt elements, and I am not the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, so as long as he cooperates with the work, I won't care about it for the time being.

Besides, at the ministerial level, being captured is no longer a simple matter of corruption, so I won't do anything unnecessary to avoid being used as a weapon.
