Chapter 762: Accountability
When he arrived at the farm of the Siniu Group, Fu Xianfeng only took a look, and he had a feeling of pain - everywhere was a mess, mud everywhere, and there were traces of cow carcasses and milk powder everywhere, and he was sad that the impact of a flood on the Siniu Group was definitely huge enough, although it would not be shaken to the root, but it would at least affect the sales for a period of time in the future.
In other words, on top of a wolf, what is lost is his interests.
However, after he met the prime minister, the economic losses were immediately left behind him, because in the temporary conference center of the Siniu Group farm, the prime minister sat in the middle, and when he saw his face, he directly asked: "Comrade Fu Xianxian, how did you make the decision to pat your head at the flood discharge to Yan City?" ”
As soon as Fu Xianfeng looked up, he saw that the prime minister was the leader, and the next sat Ye Shisheng, Fan Ruiheng, Song Chaodu, as well as several party and government leaders of the municipal and district party committees, and Yang Guoying was also sitting at the bottom.
No matter how much he relied on his family's power to support him, he also knew that today's level was not easy, after all, the Nanshan Reservoir blew him up and could not be repaired in a short time. What is the situation in Xiamahe, he is not very clear now, to be honest, and he does not have the energy to pay attention. All he knows is that if he doesn't explain things clearly to the leaders present, he won't want to end up.
If the explanation is clear, there may not be any good fruit to eat. But he must also have an explanation, and sometimes political matters can be confused, and sometimes they are one and two are two, and there can be no ambiguity.
Fu Xianfeng honestly came to Hu Zengzhou's next head - above the officialdom, the rules are bigger than the sky, and there is a vacant seat next to Hu Zengzhou, which is obviously reserved for him. But there was still a vacant seat next to him, and it was not clear to him who it was waiting for.
Fu Xianfeng saw that the prime minister nodded slightly, and only then did he dare to sit down. He subconsciously looked at the door, and Yu Fanran didn't come in to attend the meeting, which made him a little suspicious. Nanshan Reservoir now only leaves Gao Hai in charge to deal with the aftermath, Yu Fanran returned to the city with him, and he should also attend the meeting to be asked by the Prime Minister and Secretary Ye, where did he go?
Fu Xianfeng was very worried that Yu Fanran would fall into the well and say unfavorable things about him. If Yu Fanran was at the meeting, he might not have said anything in front of him, but now he doesn't know where he went, which makes him nervous, wondering if he was secretly called away to investigate the situation.
Fu Xianfeng had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Prime Minister, Secretary Ye, Governor Fan, leaders, I will make a detailed report on the flash flood in Nanshan Reservoir...... The Nanshan Reservoir was in disrepair for a long time, and because of the heavy rain, it caused a flash flood, and the gate could not be lifted, and finally after the research and analysis of the technical personnel, and the expert argumentation, the flood discharge to the east was a safe plan, and finally I discussed with Comrade Fanran and Gao Hai, and took the opinions of experts, and after requesting the provincial party committee, I decided to discharge the flood to the east......
Fu Xianfeng avoided the important and trivialized, and brought in unwarranted experts, and said that his arbitrariness was the result of discussions with Yu Fanran and Gao Hai, obviously, there was a suspicion of evading responsibility. However, as soon as his words came out, whether it was the prime minister, Ye Shisheng and Fan Ruiheng, they didn't say anything, so they let him secretly take a mouthful.
After all, he is the mayor of Yan City and a deputy provincial cadre, and it is impossible to hold much leadership responsible for a natural disaster, and the main reason is that although the economic losses are not small, there are not many deaths. The unspoken rule in domestic officialdom is that it doesn't matter how much money you lose, you won't put on a big hat, but if there are too many dead people, you will be in trouble, and the responsibility will be great.
Because the money is the money of the state, it is wasted, and it will not be specifically responsible for the individual. But when people die, some family members will make trouble, some relatives and friends will have opinions, and all the people's grievances will boil. Therefore, it has also caused a strange phenomenon in domestic officialdom, no matter how huge the property loss is, hundreds of millions and billions, and even a slap in the ass. How many leaders have made stupid decisions with a pat on the head, resulting in huge losses for the country, but no matter how huge, the officials will not bear much political responsibility. That's why under the slow accumulation, an unwritten rule has been created that in the event of a catastrophic disaster, as long as no one dies, no one will take the economic loss seriously.
Anyway, in the end, the financial appropriation was done, and the banks paid for it anyway, and it was this kind of psychology that caused the people's hard-earned money to be squandered at will.
The pride of a politician is the prosperity of the country and the strength of the people, and the pride of the system is that the prosperity of the country and the poverty of the people are the sorrow of the system.
"Originally, according to the precise calculations of experts, the flood would have bypassed the farm, passed through the back hill of Xishan Garden Villa, and then flowed into the Xiama River...... Barren mountain area by the river. In the western part of the Xiama River, there is a barren mountain field of several tens of square kilometers, which can be used to divide floodwater. However, what they didn't expect was that after the flood rushed to the Xiama District, it was blocked by the 10,000-mu ecological residential group developed by Dacai Group, and the water flow was divided into two, one way to the barren mountain area, and the other road to the farmland. The floods that rushed all the way to the barren mountain area did not cause significant damage. And the flood that rushed to the farmland was blocked by the mountain of building materials from the building materials factory, and then it turned to the farm, and the result was ......"
Fu Xianfeng continued to talk eloquently, and after his carefully organized language and the countermeasures he had thought of along the way, he said it in public without reservation. However, due to nervousness, when talking about the original flood that rushed to the Xiama River, he almost said his true intentions, so he temporarily changed his words to "barren mountain area", and also shifted most of the responsibility to other man-made reasons.
Whether it is a 10,000-mu residential ecological group or an hourly building materials factory, it is Xia Xiang's handiwork, and Fu Xianxian's move kills two birds with one stone, not only wanting to clean himself up, but also wanting the prime minister to be angry with Xia Xiang.
The prime minister was still silent, just glanced at Ye Shisheng, and said lightly: "Shisheng, this incident, on the whole, Yan Province has handled it quite reasonably, although there are many shortcomings, but it is also because there has never been a major flood in the history of Yan Province. But I have a few questions: First, why did the provincial party committee not send people to take charge of the flood control work of the Nanshan Reservoir, and only Comrade Fu Xianfeng was in the front line? Second, on the front line of flood fighting, why are there no journalists? During the flood fight, how many touching deeds emerged, and why was there not a single journalist accompanying them? ”
When the prime minister came to Yan Province, because it was a temporary decision, he did not bring reporters, and the whereabouts of the prime minister often disappeared from the newspapers for no reason, and the reason for this is intriguing. Even when the first person had just reached the top, there were important speeches that were often not published.
The political climate is ever-changing, and many things are not as simple as they seem, and sometimes the amount of news content and the length of time it is broadcast have a certain meaning.
Ye Shisheng was slightly stunned, the provincial party committee did not send someone to sit in the Nanshan Reservoir, not to mention the problem of news reporters, he had already realized that it had rained heavily for a day and a night, and the reporters had already reacted, but on the front line of flood fighting, there were no reporters, and the practitioners of the news media in Yan Province were too disrespectful.
Of course, he also knew that it was Ma Xiao's reason, because it was not that the reporters did not dispatch, and many reporters were instructed by Ma Xiao to go to the Nanshan Reservoir, and the result was that the Nanshan Reservoir, which was strictly guarded, collapsed, and the farm was flooded, all of which were negative events, which news media dared to report it again? must have been suppressed by Ma Xiao.
However, this incident also shows from the side that his control over the Propaganda Department is not enough, it seems that it is necessary to pay more attention to the Propaganda Department in the future, Ye Shisheng has a faint trace of anger in his heart. He is not a person who likes to make a big deal about everything, so he has always asked not much about the work of the Propaganda Department. Moreover, Yan Province is close to the capital, which is politically conservative, and rarely has any major news events disclosed. It's only when things have been reported for a long time and there is no bad effect.
Even a small homicide case will be suppressed, and it will be possible for the public to know about it until the suspect is caught and sentenced. Therefore, everyone knows that the newspapers in Yan Province are not readable, and news reporters will only go out on the streets to cover trivial fights and brawls, and they dare not cover any news with political influence.
Interviews are useless, they can't be posted, and what they do is useless.
Ye Shisheng couldn't answer the premier's question, so he had to say vaguely: "The provincial party committee has not sent people, and I will explain it to the premier in detail later." What about journalists...... For the sake of stabilizing the people's minds, some news should be controlled within a certain range in order to conform to the overall interests. ”
The prime minister just nodded, and didn't ask too much about the news media, but glanced out the door: "Why hasn't Xia Xiang come yet?" ”
Fu Xianxian's heart chuckled, the prime minister raised it high and put it down gently, what does it mean? The Prime Minister's words just now seem to be saying that the matter is almost over, and there is no longer a deep investigation of responsibility? What does the prime minister mean when he mentions Xia Xiang again?
As soon as the prime minister's words fell, Xia Xiang came in from outside the door, first nodded respectfully to several main leaders, and then sat down under Fu Xianxian's head under the guidance of a special person.
The doubts in Fu Xianxian's heart were even heavier, obviously, Xia Xiang's seat was deliberately arranged by the prime minister, and the prime minister's move must have a deep meaning.
Xia Xiang sat under Fu Xianxian, nodded slightly at Fu Xianxian, Fu Xianfeng was nervous when he saw Xia Xiang for the first time, and couldn't help whispering: "The prime minister is asking, and Secretary Ye and Governor Fan are there, don't talk nonsense." ”
It is in the tone of a superior ordering a subordinate.
Xia Xiang nodded and smiled, with a determined expression, which made Fu Xianxian's heart even more uncertain.
"Comrade Pioneer, do you think that in the incident of the flooding of the farm, is the responsibility of the municipal party committee or the responsibility of the district party committee greater?" The prime minister's question was very abrupt and sharp, and it directly pushed Fu Xianfeng to the forefront again.
Fu Xianfeng didn't dare to open his mouth to answer, because he couldn't guess the prime minister's intentions and didn't dare to talk nonsense. Siniu Group is a well-known enterprise in China, and it is reasonable for the prime minister to pay attention to it, and he personally inquired about the matter of the farm, which is also a testament to the central government's concern and love for Siniu Group.
But on the issue of sharing responsibilities, Fu Xianfeng still made a difficulty. Saying that the municipal party committee bears too much is tantamount to pulling Hu Zengzhou into the water in disguise, because he made a guarantee at the beginning, out of the desire to grab the credit, he just said hello to the provincial party committee, and did not even ask the provincial party committee to appoint someone to sit in the town, and rushed directly to the Nanshan Reservoir by himself. As a sub-provincial city, Yan City has a lot of autonomy, and in the face of possible major political achievements, Fu Xianfeng has never given it to others.
Unexpectedly, if I wanted to monopolize my political achievements, I became a sole responsibility, which was unlucky.
But if the dismounted district bears a lot of responsibility, wouldn't it be self-inflicted if it upsets the prime minister? And looking at the prime minister's deliberate arrangement, it is obvious that he is inclined to the position of the dismount zone. Moreover, as the mayor, he passed the responsibility to his subordinates, which was also a sign of not taking responsibility.
He hesitated for a moment before taking a middle ground: "It should be said that the municipal party committee and the district party committee each have half of the responsibility. The failure of the municipal party committee to request the provincial party committee to guide the work in a timely manner was a mistake made by the municipal party committee and a wrong decision by me to inflate my individualism. The district party committee failed to protect the farm, which is also a dereliction of duty. Comrade Xia Xiang, as the secretary of the district party committee, is young and inexperienced, and his command is not effective. ”
As soon as Fu Xianxian's words came out, Song Chaodu glared at him angrily.
Fan Ruiheng also cast a dissatisfied look at Fu Xianxian, because Fu Xianfeng had just mentioned the hour building materials factory again, which made him feel very unhappy, and felt that Fu Xianfeng was really a bit too much.
Hu Zengzhou felt quite helpless, he also had leadership responsibility in the handling of the Nanshan Reservoir matter, that is, he did not resist Fu Xianxian's toughness, and agreed to Fu Xianxian's proposal to lead the team to Nanshan Reservoir first. Thinking about it now, it is right to forcibly suppress Fu Xianxian's motives at that time, report to the provincial party committee, and ask the provincial party committee to send an executive vice governor to take charge. It's a pity that he is still a little weaker, he didn't have a firm position, and he was coaxed and deceived by Fu Xianfeng to gain the upper hand, and he only cared about making a report and holding a meeting with the provincial party committee.
Fu Xianfeng is the vice provincial mayor, the vice provincial city has always been fighting with the province for power in some matters, Fu Xianfeng only said hello to the provincial party committee, and directly led people to the Nanshan Reservoir, Hu Zengzhou naturally knew that Fu Xianfeng wanted to fight for power and merit. At that time, Cui Cui, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, also nodded, saying that after the provincial party committee held a meeting later, he would send people to guide the flood control work, but then there was chaos, in short, the matter was very complicated, and the responsibility was not clear, mainly because he could not say it too clearly in person, otherwise it would appear that he was suspected of accusing the leaders of the provincial party committee of making mistakes.
It is said that the prime minister is here, the secretary of the provincial party committee is here, they don't name names, and no one can take the initiative to speak, but Hu Zengzhou finally got brave and took the initiative to say: "I admit my mistakes to the prime minister, Secretary Ye, and Governor Fan, and I think that the municipal party committee should bear most of the responsibility." In the course of fighting floods, the municipal party committee mishandled the situation, and it was wrong to act privately without waiting for the provincial party committee to appoint someone to guide the work. Second, almost all the flood control materials were transported to the Nanshan Reservoir, resulting in no supplies available in the Xiama area. In addition, I personally failed to make a comprehensive overall plan, did not look at the problem from the perspective of the whole city, and I accepted any disposition from the prime minister and the provincial party committee. ”
Hu Zengzhou's words were loud, he dared to take the initiative to admit his mistakes and take responsibility, and his courage was commendable, so that the prime minister and Ye Shisheng both looked up to him.
Fu Xianfeng glanced at Hu Zengzhou, and thought hatefully in his heart, what a good Hu Zengzhou, he is very good at doing things, and he has nothing to do with you, what responsibility do you take the initiative to take. As soon as you stir it up, it seems that I don't have the energy. Yours is it!
After Hu Zengzhou finished speaking, the prime minister glanced at Xia Xiang noncommittally and asked, "Xia Xiang, you are the secretary of the district party committee, tell me your views on responsibility sharing?" ”
In front of the provincial and municipal leaders, the prime minister personally asked Xia Xiang by name, not only Ye Shisheng and Fan Ruiheng, but also Hu Zengzhou and Fu Xianxian, all of whom looked at Xia Xiang in unison, worried that he would say something that should not be said in front of the prime minister on impulse.
If that's the case, things will be played out.
Xia Xiang nodded respectfully: "Prime Minister, Secretary Ye, Governor Fan, leaders, as the secretary of the Xiama District Party Committee, I have an unshirkable leadership responsibility in this flood incident. Here, I make a profound review to the premier, to Secretary Ye, Governor Fan, Secretary Hu, and Mayor Fu, that the district party committee and district government did not protect the Xiama River and the farm, and the responsibility was all due to my poor command and the untimely handling of the district party committee and government, and at the same time, it was also related to my personal failure to comprehensively stand on the overall perspective of the problem......"
It was completely a tone of taking all the responsibility for everything, but the prime minister's expression was not serious, but there was a slight smile in his eyes. Ye Shisheng and Fan Ruiheng also nodded secretly, especially Ye Shisheng, whose eyes flashed with appreciation. But Hu Zengzhou was slightly worried, and stared at Xia Xiang in confusion for a while, not understanding why Xia Xiang took all the responsibility on himself.
Fu Xianfeng frowned slightly, he was surprised by Xia Xiang's approach to carrying forward his style, in his opinion, it would be good for Xia Xiang to take the initiative to take half of the responsibility, but he didn't follow his own words, but completely took the responsibility to the dismount area, and took the initiative to admit that it was his own poor leadership...... Seeing the expressions of the prime minister, Ye Shisheng and others, Fu Xianfeng suddenly woke up, Xia Xiang was smart enough, and he was taking retreat as advance.
Li Han couldn't understand Xia Xiang's good intentions to completely take the responsibility on the dismount area, he sat at the bottom, and his face turned red all of a sudden. If the tone of the main responsibility for the dismounted district is set at the meeting, not only Xia Xiang's future will be affected, but even he will be punished, and he will have a big demerit to say the least.
Li Han opened his mouth, although he was very unconvinced, he still didn't dare to speak. In front of the prime minister and the secretary of the provincial party committee, pushing the responsibility to the municipal party committee and municipal government is not something that a politically conscious official can do, suddenly, he figured it out a little more, Xia wanted to do this, but it was also a helpless move, and if it was him, he could only have the same tone as Xia Xiang.
When Li Hanzheng's mind was confused, he suddenly heard the premier's voice sound again: "Comrade Li Han, do you have any different opinions on what Comrade Xia Xiang said just now?" ”
