Chapter 17: The Wisdom of the Great Man
Several people talked and laughed, and before they knew it, Zhang Yifan led Li Yi, and said as he walked: "Li Yi, these ten minutes were supposed to be the chief's rest time, and the chief was summoned because it was you, you have to grasp the time and not delay." ”
Li Yi nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm measured." ”
Walking into Chief Jiang's office, Li Yi looked around, but did not see Jiang Zhaonan, and heard the sound of a table tennis ball coming from the next room, so he walked over and saw Jiang Zhaonan playing with a staff member.
In this room, there is a table tennis table, Jiang Zhaonan exercises here every day during his rest time, sits and works all day long, and it is hard mental work, and he needs appropriate exercise to relax his tense nerves.
"Li Yi is here, come, play a game with me." Jiang Zhaonan shouted with a smile.
Li Yi thought to himself, he only had ten minutes in total, and after this game, he was afraid that he would not even have time to speak! But when the chief spoke, he didn't dare to disobey, so he had to come over, secretly thinking that he would report to the chief while fighting.
The staff handed the racket to Li Yi and stepped aside.
Li Yi is a good player at basketball, but Jishu who plays table tennis is not very good.
Jiang Zhaonan practiced this on the first day, and once played a friendly match with the national table tennis player, and got the guidance of the national player, and soon beat Li Yi to the ground.
Li Yi originally wanted to report while playing, but this time, there was no chance to speak, and all his energy was spent on playing.
Although Jiang Zhaonan is old, he has good physical strength, long and short hanging, and his steps are relaxed.
Tiny white balls, jumping up and down on the table.
Jiang Zhaonan plays mainly for sports, and does not compete for victory or defeat, and will play for a long time in every game.
After playing, Jiang Zhaonan took the towel handed over by the staff. wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Li Yi, your playing level needs to be improved." ”
Li Yi said: "It's the level of the chief who is too high. I'm average in table tennis, but basketball and badminton are okay. Play with the chief another day? ”
Jiang Zhaonan smiled: "You." Know how to use your own strengths and attack the enemy's shortcomings. He waved his hand and said, "Basketball is too physically demanding, I can't do it anymore." If you have time, let's play badminton! ”
Li Yi said: "Okay, I am working in the capital today, and I have more time to be close to the chief." It's up to the chief to guide me. ”
Jiang Zhaonan said: "Xiao Gu said. Do you have something very important to talk to me about? ”
Li Yi looked at his watch and said, "Chief, but your rest time is up, I'll wait for the next time to find a chance to report to you!" ”
Jiang Zhaonan shook his hand with a smile and said, "I'm going to review the report now, it's okay, you can come, let's talk in the office." ”
Li Yi was overjoyed. Following Jiang Zhaonan to the office to sit down, he didn't dare to delay the chief's precious time, and immediately took out the report. Quickly explained his advice to the chief.
Jiang Zhaonan held the report written by Li Yi in his hand, and listened to Li Yi while reading it.
As the head of the government, Jiang Zhaonan knows better than anyone what Li Yi's report means.
Jiang Zhaonan served as vice president for one term and is very familiar with many organs of the central government, and he has not thought about institutional reform. But this matter is too involved, even if he is the head of a country, he will not act lightly.
Hearing Li Yi talk eloquently at this moment, Jiang Zhaonan thought more about the far-reaching impact that this matter might have, this kind of impact. It will not only have an impact on the country and the system, but also an impact on the current political situation.
In Jiang Zhaonan's heart, he has long had a huge blueprint for a major operation on the current government agency.
He wants to build a streamlined, efficient, and perfect government agency during his tenure.
With the deepening of reform and opening up, there is an urgent need to transform government functions and straighten out the relationship between departmental responsibilities. We should explore the implementation of a large-scale departmental system with organically unified functions, and rationally allocate the functions of macroeconomic regulation and control departments.
In 1982, 39 of the 100 departments of the central government were laid off. In 1988, the number of departments and agencies directly under the central government was reduced from 67 to 60, and the number of personnel was reduced by more than 9,700 people. In 1993, the number of departments and agencies directly under the State Council was reduced from 86 to 59, and the number of personnel was reduced by 20 percent.
It is not difficult to see from this set of data that every five or six years, the central government agencies carry out a major reform.
As early as last year, Jiang Zhaonan was contemplating a larger reform move.
However, the course of history seems to have undergone a slight change, and last year's reform failed to take place.
This year, Jiang Zhaonan is once again thinking and preparing for a big game of institutional reform across the country!
Although this game of chess starts with the central government agencies, once the top moves, the corresponding government agencies of the provinces, cities and counties below will also make huge changes.
Although it is the central organs that are moving, the impact on the political pattern of the whole country is very huge. It takes a lot of thought, planning before acting.
Li Yi's report actually came at the right time, and it can be said that it coincides with Jiang Zhaonan's thoughts!
However, the group of institutions proposed by Li Yi was not among Jiang Zhaonan's thoughts.
Jiang Zhaonan is now thinking more about strengthening energy and environmental management institutions, integrating and improving the management systems of industry, information technology, and transportation industries, and strengthening and integrating social management and public service departments with a focus on improving people's livelihood.
Li Yi proposed to merge the State Jihua Commission, the State System Reform Office, and some functions of the State Economic and Trade Commission, such as the Enterprise Reform Office, into the National Development and Reform Commission, referred to as the National Development and Reform Commission.
The National Jihua Committee was established in 1952. The former National Jihua Committee was renamed the National Development Jihua Committee in 1998. This is what we usually call the Planning Commission, and it is in this department that Lin Xin works.
If these relevant departments are merged and reorganized according to Li Yi's ideas, then Li Yi will work with Lin Xin in a newly formed department!
Jiang Zhaonan suddenly thought of this question, and asked with a smile: "Are you pretending to be a public servant?" If you want to work with your wife, you can pull these departments together and combine them together? ”
Li Yi was slightly stunned and said: "Yes, chief, thanks to your reminder, otherwise I really didn't expect to go up to this level, then it would be better, I went to work with my wife, which is more conducive to the development and consolidation of the revolution!" ”
Jiang Zhaonan smiled and said, "You! ”
Li Yi said: "The newly established NDRC, as a functional organ of the State Council, will comprehensively study and formulate economic and social development policies, carry out aggregate balance, and guide the macroeconomic regulation and control departments of the overall economic system reform......
Jiang Zhaonan pondered for a while and said: "Li Yi, your idea is very good, it makes my eyes shine, but if you follow your idea, the affairs of this NDRC are too many, and the functions are not very clear. Our organization needs to be downsized, but we can't put everything in one department. There must be some departments, and there must be personnel, and they must be set up. ”
Li Yi said: "Chief, you stand tall and see far, you are naturally stronger than me, what do you mean?" ”
Jiang Zhaonan said: "I think the establishment of the National Development and Reform Commission is a very good proposal and very powerful!" The word jihua should have been removed from the name of the institution a long time ago! After so many years of reform and opening up, it is still in jihua, which is contrary to the market economy! It's good to change it to the National Development and Reform Commission, I like this name very much. ”
Li Yi was secretly happy in his heart, to be affirmed by Chief Jiang, even if it was worth the hard work.
Jiang Zhaonan said: "Li Yi, I have always had an idea, the reform of state-owned enterprises is so important, can a special department be set up to manage the affairs of this stall?" Even if the National Development and Reform Commission is established, this ministry and commission will still be in charge of the big mess of the original Planning Commission, and those things are enough, if the important burden of state-owned enterprise reform is also incorporated, then the NDRC will become a huge organization, and the leaders of this ministry and commission will have too much power in their hands? ”
Although Jiang Zhaonan used a consultative tone, his tone revealed his very mature thinking and unquestionable self-confidence.
A great man is a great man, and thinking about things is different from ordinary people. Their minds always shine with the light of wisdom!
Li Yi couldn't help nodding secretly, thinking that although he had the wisdom of two lives, he was still not comprehensive enough in the consideration of some things.
Jiang Zhaonan is right, if it is changed according to Li Yi's plan, then the director of the National Development and Reform Commission will not have super power? This ministry will become the largest and most powerful of the state apparatus! This is detrimental to the balance of power and the political landscape.
The reason why Jiang Zhaonan told himself about this matter in a consultative tone shows that he values himself very much, and this is teaching himself how to think about the problem comprehensively!
"Chief, you think more comprehensively and thoughtfully, I don't think about it." Li Yi said humbly.
Jiang Zhaonan smiled: "You are already very good, your behavior proves once again that I am not wrong about you!" Li Yi, you are still young now, and the things you have been exposed to are not broad enough, and in the future, when your position is high, you will naturally be able to stand tall and see far. With your current status and age, it is really commendable to be able to think of this layer. I didn't even think of reforming the Planning Commission! That's what you young people are capable of. ”
Li Yi smiled modestly.
Jiang Zhaonan said slowly: "The nature of socialism determines that it is impossible for our country to privatize all large-scale and people's livelihood enterprises. The reform of state-owned enterprises will be the key task of the state for a period of time to come, and the work of state-owned enterprises will always be an arduous task for our country. Therefore, I would like to set up a separate State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission ......"! ~!
