Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 819 Local Inspection

The old problem of the lower-level government is that as long as they have money and people, they will imitate the inspection teams at the central government and conduct various kinds of inspections, supervisions, and guidances. They will use whichever one sounds better. Anyway, a few of them will go to the grassroots level to act as the bosses, being flattered and coaxed into drinking and eating. As for the lower-level cadres, what they fear most is doing difficult work, and what they like most is to be the bosses at the grassroots level, giving orders with their bellies bulging.

Imagine that in the future, when the department heads go to the grassroots to conduct research, they will put their hands behind their backs and walk in a square step, with grassroots cadres on both sides. They will point at this street lamp and say that the color is not good, and point at that manhole cover and say that it does not comply with the policy. The grassroots cadres can only nod and bow and quickly write down their thoughts in their notebooks.

Several propaganda officials were taking photos crazily with the department heads at the side. At this time, the department heads had to remember to take off their Patek Philippe watches. It would be impolite if the photos were published in newspapers.

You might be noticed by Qi Tongwei and pulled in to do sales. It’s better to exercise more, otherwise your belly will stick out like you’re three or four months pregnant, which won’t look good on camera.

Generally speaking, the cadres below will arrange a seafood dinner afterwards. The directors will sit in the main seats, and the cadres below will say nice things to them, greet them with smiles, and feed them cup after cup of Moutai. The directors don't have to worry about being under pressure, because if they like a dish, they will stop the table to ensure that the directors can have the first bite.

The department heads don't need to worry about their poor alcohol tolerance. At this time, the cadres below will say, "I've done it, it's up to you, leader." These are not polite words. The department heads can just drink it casually. They will also say "the leader has one glass and I'll have three glasses" or something like that.

Before leaving, we will stuff some local specialties into your car, such as tea, cigarettes, and alcohol. Qi Tongwei even once gave two live chickens to a provincial leader, which were squeaking in the trunk of an Audi.

As for extracurricular activities in the evening, such as tutoring in English, Qi Tongwei does not recommend that the directors go there anymore. Chen Qingquan had a setback in this kind of thing and learned a lesson.

Back to the point, this is what the leaders are worried about. In order to prepare for an inspection by a central-level inspection team, local governments will definitely have the provincial-level inspection team inspect three times in a row and the municipal-level inspection team inspect nine times. In the end, local governments are exhausted and neglect other aspects of their work.

For a moment, Qi Tongwei was a little hesitant. He had also worked at the grassroots level and was well aware of the flaws of bureaucracy, which would spread from one level to another. But in a flash, he no longer hesitated. Formalism can be overcome by relying on excellent systems, and the inspection team system can be used to uncover some of the local practices of covering up things. At least it can provide the grassroots people with an additional channel to speak out.

Qi Tongwei recalled the last few words he had spoken to the top leader on the road.

"Secretary, I think that a permanent inspection team is still necessary. Some local governments may have been covering up issues too seriously.

To be honest, some ordinary people have no way to report, and the local government has too many means to deal with them. We set up an inspection team, even if it is just to answer reporting calls and receive reporting letters, it can solve some of the accumulated problems.

As for formalism, we can impose policy restrictions on it, but we cannot deny its advantages just because a system may have shortcomings. "

The top leader pondered for a while. The two of them just arrived at the door of the top leader's office, but Qi Tongwei had no intention of going in, so they stood at the door.

“Whether or not to establish a permanent inspection system requires further discussion by the committee. It cannot be determined in just a few words. It requires an assessment of the various advantages and disadvantages.

Let's first do a good job in the grain purchasing and marketing system. The next step is to check the red line of arable land, which is a very big task.

You still have a lot of work to do.”

Qi Tongwei nodded.

"Yes, understand."

"Tomorrow's provincial and ministerial-level seminar will focus on the red line of cultivated land, which is also required by the higher authorities.

We must clearly convey to these cadres the central government’s determination to protect the red line of cultivated land.”

"Yes."

.......................

(Provincial and ministerial level classes cannot write this, those who understand will understand)

The class was over at this time, and Qi Tongwei breathed a sigh of relief. He unzipped his executive jacket, looked at the increasingly hot sky, and got into the Audi car that came to pick him up.

Qi Tongwei even felt that after teaching for several consecutive days, he was still very suitable to be a teacher, no, professor.

The central government's thinking has now been conveyed to outstanding deputy ministerial officials in all provinces, and the principle of replacing people if arable land is not preserved has been made clear. The next step is to start implementing it.

This time, Qi Tongwei plans to arrange time to go down and inspect it in person.

"Lu Qiang, have the General Office send out a notice. Let's select a few provinces where corruption in the grain purchasing and marketing systems is serious. I will go there in person to supervise in two weeks."

After a while, several officials from the General Office came over, led by a deputy director.

"Deputy Secretary Qi, this is an important process for your inspection. As for how to draw, do you have any specific instructions?"

Qi Tongwei took the inspection process document and raised one eyebrow.

“Why are there so many restrictions?”

Several staff members were helpless, but a deputy director still stepped forward to explain.

"Deputy Secretary Qi, everyone is like this, and we can't cause too much trouble to the local area."

Qi Tongwei immediately understood that his last incognito visit must have caused a big stir. Although the top leader couldn't say anything, he must have been complained by the local leaders in Jingcheng. How could the deputy secretary come out to investigate the case in person?

“I won’t talk about this. If I want to draw a few provinces, I’ll make some cards. I’ll draw more than 30 cards by hand.

This is fairer, and you can prepare to publish your article after you have drawn the lottery. "

Although it is said to be more than 30 provinces, in fact, the problems with the grain purchasing and marketing systems in many provinces are not serious at all. Qi Tongwei does not intend to go and cause trouble. At most, he will pick one or two out of seven or eight provinces to go and take a look.

"Deputy Secretary Qi, we have ready-made cards. Do we need to draw them from all provinces? The provinces with the most serious problems are all here. Why don't we just designate them directly?"

The person who spoke was Lu Qiang. He had already made preparations. He had just seen the inspection process suggestions. However, based on his understanding of Qi Tongwei, he would most likely not comply with them and would definitely cause trouble.

Qi Tongwei shook his head.

"Of course it's not a good idea to designate one, so we'll just keep these eight or nine provinces, and then pick two more to inspect. I don't have that much time to go to so many places."

If he doesn't cause trouble, he wouldn't be Qi Tongwei. In that case, the choice is actually not very large, and he will only be drawn from those provinces with serious problems.
