Liu Bufan was a very calm person. When the Provincial Government officials were shouting about using the women's private matters to attack Levis, he spoke up. "Our current goal is to break the practice of the ministries and commissions drinking the blood of the Provincial Government. Many people in the Central Government know about this, and many people will support us.
What's the point of using these trivial matters? This will only let the Central Committee members think that we are only trying to overthrow Levis. "
Liu Bufan's words are reasonable, but it is not easy for the Provincial Leaders to accept this. Firstly, the situation in the provinces is different. Because of the uneven development of the economy, some provinces are close to the Ministries and Commissions. For example, Guangdong Province. Some provinces have good relationships with the Ministries and Commissions. For example, Henan Province, which is based on agriculture. Those newly developed provinces, such as the eight provinces in Northeast China and the six provinces in North America, are not so much provinces. They are more like large state-owned assets disguised as provinces. These provinces are built with the help of the Ministries and the State. In a sense, there were not many allies who wanted to overthrow Levis.
"Why don't we change our approach? If we follow the economic development path, we will fall into Levis's trap. He will do what he wants, and we will do what we want. This time, we will talk to the other Committee members. We are the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, and yet we can't control a Bureau Chief or a factory director. Is there any reason for this? If the other Committee members think this is fine, then let them be the Provincial Leaders! "Liu Bufan adjusted his thinking.
This is what angered the Provincial Leaders the most. The Ministries and Commissions had seized too much power from the Provincial Leaders. If this situation continues, the Provincial Leaders will not be able to do anything in the future. This is because there is not much power left for the Provincial Leaders.
"I am the Provincial Leader, and I used to be a Army Commander. I commanded more than 100,000 people. A few years ago, when we wanted to build a canal in Anhui, the Land Bureau was the first to come up. They said they want to confirm the route of the canal. The second one was from the Water Conservancy Bureau, and the third one was from the Immigration Bureau. They asked us to guide the immigrants during the construction of the canal. We only want to build a canal to transport cotton from the Huai River to the Yangtze River. We are taking a detour through the Grand Canal, and we have no other ideas. It's just a few division chiefs and bureau chiefs, but they're putting on airs in front of me, the governor. If anyone says that I am not united with my comrades, I will now admit to the crime. I'm the governor, and they're just bureau chiefs and division chiefs. They should at least show some respect! It's not a problem to have a meeting to discuss this, but it should be this group of people who come to my place for a meeting, and not me being called to their place for a meeting! "
This group of old soldiers didn't only know how to fight head-on. Soldiers who only knew how to fight head-on usually wouldn't be able to rise to high positions. Levis's figure was so soft, so the old soldiers naturally wouldn't act more arrogant than the Premier. However, soldiers had their own strength of character. They stated the problems they encountered at work and reprimanded those young people for being impolite. Not only did they not lose points, but they also effectively incited the sympathy of the Central Committee members.
"After struggling for four months, I finally begged my grandfather to sue the government for the preliminary approval. Then, the central ministry told us that the budget was insufficient and we couldn't start construction. Good! If you say the central government doesn't have the money, then we'll do it ourselves. Finally, the central government had some conscience and allocated a batch of supplies to us. Regardless of whether the people really wanted to use these things, at least we had something to distribute to the people. I thank the Premier for this. Then, the central government sent people to the construction site to supervise, and they were even stricter than guarding against thieves. During their own meeting, they even said that it's hard to guard against thieves in the house! In the eyes of the central government, Levis, our place is a group of thieves who only know how to steal from the central government! "At this point, Anhui Provincial Party Secretary Chen Mingde was already a little choked up.
The atmosphere in the meeting was also very solemn. When the initially aggressive provincial level cadres talked about the specific problems they encountered at work, this kind of mood did indeed make people feel that the brothers had worked hard. The high and mighty ministries indeed had a wide range of control. When this kind of broad feeling full of a sense of distance was described with personal feelings, the feeling of disgust was even more intense.
One by one, after the foreshadowing was enough, Chen Mingde shouted loudly, "If it was only me who was wronged, I would complain to everyone, I would want everyone to support us. But! If the current system doesn't change, we will be suffering all the time in the future. No matter how correct Premier Levis thinks his management of the ministries is, I have to say, this is a bully! "
It must be said that this kind of attack was far more appealing than the obviously flawed provincial plans. Ruan Xihao's tense face finally showed some signs of thawing. He was obviously moved by the neutral committee members. It was not realistic to expect the ministries to give up their power on their own, and they could forget about their votes. Only by making the neutral committee members sympathize with and support the provincial government could there be a possibility of a favorable situation for the provincial government in the final vote.
The 50 provinces spoke one after another, and they all had their own opinions on the central government's strong control. However, it was impossible for the central government to only have the provincial government's opinion. Five days later, it was finally the ministry's turn to express their opinions.
The first to speak was the Minister of Education, Zeng Daqian. "Comrades, the group of scholars in the past felt that their studies were all in the stomach of dogs. After following the Commander-in-Chief to conquer the world, we gradually understood that those scholars are on the side of the Manchu Qing and the landlords. They are not on the side of us, who were born in poverty. Since we were the scholars in the past, we should be better than them. That's why the country enacted the compulsory education law. It is for everyone in China to read our books and stand on the side of the working people. Our Ministry of Education is just a government department that relies on the government's funding. But where did this money go? I have some statistics here, and at least 40% of the education funds were intercepted by the provincial government. I don't know if the other provinces can afford to offend them, but our Ministry of Education definitely can. That's why if we don't have money, we will transfer it from the education funds. If we don't have money, we will owe the teachers' salaries first. If we don't have money, we will stop the education funds first. Anyway, the schools can wait. If the houses are not enough, we can squeeze a little. Since many places did not have schools in the past, we don't have to be so anxious now … … "
Zeng Daqian's tone was full of sarcasm. Some provinces were economically developed, and their education work was naturally good. However, these provinces were the least against the ministries. The ones who were making a fuss were economically underdeveloped, but they wanted to be developed. This group of people's faces turned ugly. This matter had indeed trampled on their wrongdoings.
"I was thinking that the suitable age to study is only a few years, from six to seventeen years old. After this age, even if they want to study again, they have to have the opportunity to study. At that time, children in their teens will start to become laborers in various industries. They need to live, start a family, and start to contribute to their families. At that time, even if you ask them to study again, they will not have the habit of studying. We were all soldiers. The Commander-in-Chief likes to say that other than drinking milk, children are born with no knowledge of anything. Everything they learn is acquired, and all the skills they master are acquired through training. All habits are acquired, including the habit of studying. If not for the fact that one-third of the organization's life is made up of various kinds of books and documents, will everyone be able to understand? "Zeng Daqian went all out and fiercely attacked the provincial government's action of cutting education funds.
"Someone told me that studying is useless. What's the point of reading so many books? Doing a small business and knowing how to do accounts is enough. Not only is studying useless, but it also costs so much money. My answer to this is that if you think studying is useless, there is only one reason. You did not read enough, and you did not learn how to read. Many old comrades and brothers fought from Guangxi to Nanjing, from Nanjing to Anhui, from Anhui to Hebei, from Hebei to Anhui, from Hebei to Guangdong, and from Guangdong to the whole of China. This journey of tens of thousands of miles is done step by step. If we miss a step, we will not be able to move forward. The comrades in the provincial government said that this is the ministry's problem. As the Ministry of Education, there are many problems that I am not clear about, so I will not make any judgments. I just want to ask a few questions. What should we do with the funds that were intercepted by the provincial government? When can the education work that was stopped because of the intercepted funds continue to be carried out? How many similar things will happen in the future? I hope the provincial government can give me an answer to these questions! "
The Restoration Party had always attached more importance to education, and Zeng Daqian, as the Minister of Education, firmly held onto the issue of the provinces' losses. More importantly, the Ministry of Education itself is not a unit with real power and cannot influence the provincial government's work. Education funds are still paid by the state and do not need to be borne by the provincial government alone. This statement immediately put the provincial government in a passive position.
But Zeng Daqian did not stop there. He waved a stack of documents in his hand. "This is the list of the misappropriation of education funds by the provincial government in the past 3 years. I can say that this list is not complete because I have only collected the misappropriated funds that can be confirmed. This does not include the misappropriated funds that were made up within 3 years. If those contents are made up, this list will be much thicker. The provincial government must give the Ministry of Education an explanation for this matter. "
Every member of the Central Committee quickly received a copy of this document, and Ruan Xihao's face turned ugly. Zeng Daqian was Hu Chenghe's relative by marriage. Ruan Xihao had asked someone to help him, and he had hoped that Hu Chenghe could come out and persuade this comrade of his. Among the many crimes that can be used to attack the provincial government, the misappropriation of education funds is the only action that Ruan Xihao feels is inappropriate. But Zeng Daqian is not moved. Ruan Xihao does not want Zeng Daqian to speak out the most, but he is powerless to stop Zeng Daqian from speaking out.
The Central Committee members rummaged through the documents, and the provinces that were criticized did not dare to say anything. Zeng Daqian also did not go out and wait for the questions. There were not many questions, but the questions were very focused. "How did the Ministry of Education collect all these information and know where the funds were used?"
Zeng Daqian replied: "We collected the information through the banking system, and these are all problems with the bank accounts. We have written clearly that the money was transferred, but the Ministry of Education did not receive the money. The bank can provide us with information on who took the money and how the money was transferred. We can let the people from the bank explain these questions. "
This set of attacks was carefully planned by the Central Committee members. Wang Mingshan saw Zeng Daqian kicking the ball to his feet and stood up to speak.
"In order to improve efficiency and reduce the trouble of cash circulation, the banks now use the fixed-point service method for many units. This means that there are specific regulations on which bank to withdraw money from in the city. This way, it would be easier to track the movements of the funds. At the very least, there would be a way to trace the problem after he said that there was a problem. According to the procedure, if there were no problems, the money would be found in whatever bank and account it was transferred to at every step. If the Ministry of Education requests it, we will follow the pre-set route. Then, we found out that some of the funds are unclear, and some of the funds are not in line with the regulations. Then, we investigate the handling of these non-compliant funds, and the whereabouts of the money can be determined. "
The moment Wang Mingshan spoke, the committee members who did not have much interest in the banks became interested. In many people's impression, the payment of salaries is about withdrawing money and giving out money. But in fact, there are many ways to do this.
"The problem now is that if there is not enough supervision, for example, if the province wants to use the education funds, they will first negotiate with the province's Ministry of Education and get the Ministry of Education to agree to take out the funds. Then, the Ministry of Education will agree to take out the money under the normal name. But the money did not go to the next stage like the normal rules. Instead, it was used in other ways. This information is from those who did not do a detailed job and used bank cheques to inject funds into other projects. We can get the cheque number, so we can confirm that the money was used. As for those who took out the cash and used it for other purposes, we did not write it down. " Although Wang Mingshan wanted to speak in a professional manner, he could not help but feel a little disdain in his tone. They can't even do bad things properly and let others have something to use against them. The standards of the province, at least the standards of some people, is really regrettable.
"The province feels that we are too strict, but our bank's management is too lax, and there are too many loopholes. For example, we hope to set up an account for every teacher, and the money can be transferred directly into the account. This can solve many problems, but it is difficult to pass. After all, when the money is in a small vault, some people will feel at ease. "Wang Mingshan continued to criticize the things that he is unhappy with.
"This is not the only problem I want to talk about. There are other issues that I need to talk about. The biggest issue is the debts owed by the province's enterprises. There will definitely be problems with the operation of the enterprises, and I do not want to talk about who is right and who is wrong. It is also hard for the bank to intervene in these matters. After all, many provinces feel that they are interfering too much. The Provincial Government will not allow us to get involved even if we complain about the company's operations. Since the province does not allow us to intervene, we will use the simplest method. Once the loan is signed, the debts must be repaid on time. But it is not easy to repay the debts on time. Uncle Ma said that turning the sales into cash is a dangerous leap. Why is it described as dangerous? It is because some people can make the leap, and some cannot. What about those who cannot make the leap? They can only default on the debts and breach the contract. Our bank found out that a lot of the money was not spent by the province. It was used to make up for the debts. But some of the debts are getting bigger and bigger. We want to know when this will end. "Wang Mingshan's tone is calm, but the content of his words is getting sharper. Bringing up some problems directly means that someone has to bear the responsibility. No matter how little others have done with Wang Mingshan's collective counterattack in the province, a large part of the motivation is because they cannot continue to make up for it now.
The committee members were all smart people, and warm-hearted people were not rare among the committee members. Many of them were recognized as leaders. Petty people can be promoted, but it is easy for them to encounter bottlenecks. There are more than 300 committee members from 50 provinces, and each province has an average of seven committee members. If a committee member is recognized as someone who does not have the ability to carry the situation, it is impossible for him to win in such a fierce competition.
Regardless of whether they support Wang Mingshan's position and attitude, this group of people can feel that Levis's plan is gradually beginning to reveal itself. After letting the province speak, the ministries and commissions began to fight back. The worst thing for the ministries and commissions was that they had completely avoided these basic issues in their previous speeches. Their speeches were full of attacks and opposition to the ministries and commissions, but they did not mention that they were obviously unreasonable.
If there is anything that can be called Lenovo, then Lenovo's content is that the Provincial Government's purpose of overthrowing the ministries and commissions is to cover up their terrible governance. Once the current system is overthrown, the Provincial Government will have a few years to cover up their previous problems.
Some people think further. Did Vézé, who set up the current system, anticipate this situation? If the Provincial Government's cadres fall on a large scale, the departments that are not under the jurisdiction of the Provincial Government can still support the situation, and they will be able to resist the impact of the crisis.
The faces of the Provincial Government's officials are quite ugly. Some people tried to stand up to object, but Wang Mingshan waved his hand. "Let me finish. Now, our bank wants to raise a question. What should we do with the money that the Provincial Government cannot repay? Should we deal with it according to the rules, or let the Provincial Government continue to owe it? I hope the comrades can come up with a solution. If we follow the rules, some people will say that we are not giving them a chance. Some people will say that they have less and less things in their hands. How can they continue to work? "
