Chapter 46 16. Original sin

Recently, Lin Bai, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, suffered from the old problem of gout again, and his ankles were swollen like steamed buns. He had no choice but to be admitted to the Provincial People's Hospital. Before being hospitalized, Lin Bai listened to the report of the inspection team of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee in Dongzhou. Lin Bai is very particular about ventilation. When it comes to major cadres and personnel arrangements, he always seeks opinions from the team members, and pays special attention to the opinions of Governor Zhao Changzheng. This is the work style that Lin Bai has developed over the years, and it is also a result of working It is necessary, especially before the meeting, to communicate some important and sensitive topics first, so that the decision-making at the meeting will reduce a lot of blindness.

The members of the team are used to this kind of communication from Lin Bai, because the premise of communication is trust, and there is no need to communicate without trust. At the same time, this kind of communication narrows the distance between the team members. Zhao Changzheng often feels that every communication with Lin Bai has benefited a lot.His old partner was sick, so there was no reason not to go to see him. In the morning, when the secretary and the driver picked him up, Zhao Changzheng didn't go directly to the office, but went straight to the Provincial People's Hospital.

Since he had greeted the secretary in advance, Lin Bai knew that Comrade Zhao Changzheng was coming to see him, so he had already prepared tea.Zhao Changzheng opened the door and yelled, "Old man, are you feeling better? I'm going to lead a delegation to visit Vietnam tomorrow, and I'm really worried about you before I leave!" Leaning on a single crutch, Lin Bai personally made tea for Zhao Changzheng, and jokingly said, "Your diabetic body is no better than mine. We both have one thing in common, we have to keep our mouths shut. Diabetes is better, but with my gout, I’m not even allowed to eat tofu, only porridge.”

Zhao Changzheng smiled and said, "You can still drink porridge. As a big sugar producer, my blood sugar goes up as soon as I drink porridge. I can only eat dry ones." After Zhao Changzheng finished speaking, he took the tea that Lin Bai had brewed and put it on the coffee table. Two people are sitting on the sofa. Lin Bai smiled and said, "Long March, if you don't come to see me, I also want to talk to you. Recently, the inspection team of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee went to Dongzhou to conduct a thorough investigation, and reported to me after returning. I'm a little worried after the report!"

Zhao Changzheng took a sip of tea and asked, "Did you find any problems?" Lin Bai nodded and said: "Yes, Li Weimin is better. Although there are two different opinions, it is generally believed that this person is more upright and a practical person; Jia Chaoxuan has more problems. Few report letters reflect Jia Chaoxuan’s collusion between officials and businessmen.” Zhao Changzheng said seriously: "If there are any reflections in this regard? The problem is serious. We will never promote cadres who are sick, let alone Dongzhou, a provincial capital city with 8 million people. I suggest the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection pay close attention. Jia Chaoxuan's problem. If you are sick, you should treat it quickly to nip the problem in the bud. This is not only protecting a cadre, but also being responsible for the cause of the party!"

Lin Bai said thoughtfully: "Lying in the hospital these days, I have thought about many problems. I always feel that our system has an original sin, and what is the original sin? Our party has not figured it out. The problem of corruption has become more and more serious over the years. , the original sin cannot be removed! Of course, it is one aspect that the corrupt elements themselves have relaxed their cultivation, but the Party is responsible for the corruption of so many cadres, and the responsibility lies in the system. It is a party member who is a cadre. It is very important to realize that these party members and cadres who take people as the premise affect the lives of the people. Traditional education has always regarded them as people made of special materials. Self-cultivation, this is irresponsible, and it is suspected of shirking responsibility. In fact, people have seven emotions and six desires, especially the seven emotions and six desires of politicians determine the lives of ordinary people. It is system innovation. Eliminate the original sin of the old system by establishing a new system.”

Zhao Changzheng deeply sympathized with Lin Bai's point of view. He sighed and said, "Many institutional flaws in government agencies have hindered economic development more and more. Too much and too much, overlapping, repetitive, contradictory, and multi-headed law enforcement make enterprises at a loss what to do, and give the government too much management power. If firm reforms are not given, employment cannot be expanded, people's living standards cannot be improved, and the balance between consumption and investment Relationships cannot be adjusted, people cannot live and work in peace and contentment, and the further development of many businesses and the economy will be buried in the approvals, permits, fees and fines of these departments."

"Yes," Lin Bai said meaningfully, "Take Dongzhou's urban construction as an example. In recent years, half of Dongzhou's fiscal revenue has come from selling land. housing conditions, then the house that has just been built for more than ten years will be demolished.” "The last time hundreds of people from Dongzhou came to the provincial government to petition, the community that had just been built for more than a year was demolished because the developer wanted to build Asia's No. 1 shopping mall on this land." Zhao Changzheng interjected. "Yes, in the past, shantytowns and illegally built houses were demolished, but now they are all reasonable and legal houses. The common people who live in the city center have been relocated to the edge of the city. The city center has become a wealthy area. Long March, tell me, how do ordinary people live and work in peace and contentment?"

"Many of our officials are keen to 'guest' real estate business, the reason is caused by the original sin of the system, a paragraph ago, a well-known economist expressed his opinion, saying that behind the wealth gap in China is the external market of corruption and monopolized industries Transformation, I think it is very profound!" "From land acquisition by the government to bank loans, it has become the most critical resource for real estate developers, and it is also the abyss of cadre corruption. Even Xin Zejin, the director of the Provincial Office in Beijing, is engaged in real estate development. He reported to me with a plan a while ago, and let me No on the spot."

"I've heard about this matter. Comrade Everbright has a lot of opinions on you. What are you talking about? The Beijing offices of other provinces are all five-star. Other provinces can do it, why can't our province do it? Long March , Let me say that the Beijing Office is completely a product of the planned economy, and under the conditions of a market economy, it should really consider its new functions.” "Old Lin, Xin Zejin was also stimulated by the imminent transformation of the Municipal Office in Beijing into a five-star hotel. Your suggestion is very good. I will ask the Provincial Government Research Office to study the functions of the Beijing Office under the new situation. We can't follow the old path of 'department' and 'money', we should expand some new public service functions."

"Long March, if you want to implement it, start with the system. There are many 'no's' in the past anti-corruption policies, but the effect is not good. Why? There are few coherent systems." "Yeah, just control the food and drink of the cadres, there are more than 500 documents after the founding of the People's Republic of China, but in the end I still didn't control this mouth." After Zhao Changzheng left, Lin Bai was deeply in thoughts. For many years, he consciously admired the world and deserved his hometown.Do what you can, do your best.As for what can’t be done, although I try my best to do it, it will inevitably be unsatisfactory. As the saying goes, the endless falling trees are no longer my original intention... However, even though the river is going east, Lin Bai’s mood is still like the river. I can't be calm, because there are too many problems that I can't figure out, and these problems are smoldering in my heart, and I can't get rid of them.
