Chapter 14 twelve

The leader of the inspection team, Yu Yangtai, started the inspection at 9:00 a.m. until 5:30 p.m., and had talks with more than a dozen people. The first person to talk was Lin Xiaofang, director of the Municipal Finance Bureau.Lin Xiaofang is in her forties. She is the third daughter of the former deputy commissioner of the Haozhou Municipal Administration. Her father had studied with Liu Shibei, secretary of the Jiangyuan Municipal Party Committee, at the Provincial Party School for half a year. romantic relationship and eventually married. Lin Xiaofang is generous, with an open-minded and fair look. "Mayor Xia is courageous, but his shortcomings are also obvious. That is, his style of work is a bit rough. I don't think that Mayor Xia is not qualified for the post of mayor, but that the most important thing for him now is to strengthen his studies, such as going to the province Study at the party school for half a year, and completely reverse the small peasant consciousness and the consciousness of the rule of man.”

"Can you give a specific example?" Yu Yangtai finally couldn't help but say something. Lin Xiaofang was silent for a while: "For example, Dianjiang's financial work. Before the Spring Festival this year, he asked all regions and departments to submit applications and budgets, and then transfer the funds for the whole year in one go! In name, it is to eliminate corruption and Unhealthy trends, in fact, are all about the planned economy. When it was done like this a few years ago, all projects were canceled. What if something went wrong in the middle? A heavy rain at the end of May wiped out all fourteen villages in Jiangyin District. Flooded, and urgently need a large sum of money, how do you ask us to pay? Can this be conscientious? There are tens of thousands of ordinary people! You, the executive deputy mayor, can be so insensitive..."

The second person to talk was Gao Yuhong, director of the Municipal Urban Construction Committee. "To be honest, how many cadres have been brought down in these years of urban construction work! Xia Zhongmin has been engaged in urban construction work for seven years, but no one said that he was corrupt, accepted bribes, and took kickbacks..." Gao Yuhong spoke for more than forty minutes at a stretch before Yu Yangtai interjected, "Old Gao, tell me about Xia Zhongmin's shortcomings and deficiencies." "Insufficient shortcomings?" Gao Yuhong thought for a long time before saying, "If there are shortcomings, it is that he doesn't cherish himself too much! He has been transferred to Dianjiang from the provincial capital for eight years, and built hundreds of buildings for the people of Dianjiang. He still lives in a single-person dormitory; thousands of people have been arranged for employment, but he has not arranged for a single relative or friend. His brother-in-law and daughter-in-law have not been arranged until now, and his wife brings his brother-in-law to cry every time... ..."

The third person to talk was Di Xinpeng, Director of the Municipal Planning Commission. Di Xinpeng is in his forties, and the second son of Liu Shibei, who is also the director of the planning committee in Haozhou City, is an alumnus.Di Xinpeng's wife is Liu Shibei's second daughter-in-law, who is also the cousin of Lin Xiaofang, director of the Dijiang City Finance Bureau.And Di Xinpeng's uncle is the director of the Haozhou Finance Bureau who has served for many years.Because of these special relationships, they can basically control the financial power of the entire Dianjiang City.

Di Simpeng speaks without sloppiness. "I think the investigation of Xia Zhongmin this time is inappropriate." Di Xinpeng said eloquently, "Xia Zhongmin is indeed a very characteristic cadre, but his characteristics are also his shortcomings. In such a big economic city as Dianjiang, A cadre who is truly suitable for the market must be able to take into account the overall situation and understand the general situation. If a cadre with personality defects is the main person in charge of Ding Jiang, it will be irresponsible to Ding Jiang..." The fourth person to come in was Zheng Daping, the chairman of the Civic League and the deputy mayor of the Democratic Party in charge of culture, education and technology.

"First of all, express my personal attitude, first support, and second support. Promoting such a good cadre is tantamount to doing the greatest good deed for the people." Zheng Daping's tone was very calm, but the content of his words made people feel Incomparably sharp, sharp and shocking. "Our situation in Dianjiang is that there are some people who are not suitable to be leading cadres here. Who are they? The common people have said that they are people who would rather offend the leaders than the common people, precisely because Xia Zhongmin is like this. One person, that's why he has worked here for eight years in the dark, and he is still a deputy director until now! Team leader Yu, I have a hunch that if your inspection is still only conducted among cadres, That is very likely to sort out a negative example that cannot be promoted and reused at all."

"Isn't your talk today very beneficial to Xia Zhongmin?" Yu Yangtai said with a smile. "This is just the beginning." Zheng Daping also smiled and said, "The prelude has just begun, and the good show is yet to come. Due to the remnants of the concept of the rule of man in the planned economy and the drawbacks of the cadre system caused by it, the cadre team in Dianjiang It has gradually evolved into a vested interest group. They have firmly monopolized public power and formed an alliance with the newly rising wealthy group while gaining benefits. This makes the people of Dianjiang always in a state of complete passiveness, interfering with The relationship between the group is becoming increasingly tense, and the contradictions are quite acute. If this situation cannot be quickly brought under control, Dianjiang is likely to become the most serious and turbulent area in Haozhou City.

"Mayor Zheng, no matter what you say, Dianjiang is still the area with the best economic benefits and the fastest development in Haozhou so far? How can this be explained?" Yu Yangtai couldn't help asking. "These are just superficial phenomena." Zheng Daping is still talking eloquently, "It is precisely because I have been the deputy mayor for two years and I am in charge of finance that I feel this potential crisis. Behind the background, in fact, there is a deeper crisis, that is, official corruption. When officials in a region can coax their superiors at will, they will of course continue to blow out illusory soap bubbles one after another, and they will turn a piece of bronze into A golden mountain! It will not hesitate to exhaust its resources, so as to destroy the stock of tax sources and continue to increase taxes, and even move east to supplement west, and eat more than enough food. For example, why Xia Zhongmin's first measure after becoming the executive deputy mayor is that the annual financial funds must be A one-time transfer, and no transfer to anyone or any unit in the middle? There are too many loopholes in this. If this is not the case, the entire financial system of Dianjiang will become a huge black hole! No amount of money can be silently To be swallowed by it! This is very scary, it is like a huge sieve, every eye is leaking! A one-time transfer can more or less block a large part. And to do this, how much pressure must be withstood!"
