After the meeting ended, some people whispered: "Lao Ding's temper is getting bigger and bigger, and his words are sharp, pointing directly to the origin of the problem, which is even better than Premier Hong before."

"I heard that Premier Hong and the Rong family have a good relationship!"

"It's all because of that boy Jiang Feng. You don't know that Jiang Feng and Premier Hong have accepted their relationship."

"What people are saying is indeed the truth, but I don't have the courage to raise it directly."

...

However, Ding Yongjun's proposal was mentioned at the Two Sessions, and the senior officials instructed the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau Lu Kunqi to be responsible for the restructuring of most departments, so this hot potato was handed over to Lu Kunqi. It can be said that in recent times, Lu Kunqi has suffered a lot of headaches about this matter.

Now that he has caught Jiang Feng, the initiator, and he will not let him think of a solution, Lu Kunqi will definitely feel unhappy.

In private, Jiang Feng can naturally express his opinions at will, but now it is not in private, but in public places. None of these people who can attend cocktail parties are ordinary people, all of whom are well-known heavyweights.

Therefore, Lu Kunqi's request made Jiang Feng a little difficult to deal with. It was not good to say it or not. After all, he knew very well that the biggest difficulty in implementing the system of major ministries is probably the diversion of officials. It is said that just by forming a large Ministry of Transport, ten deputy ministerial officials must be removed. So what about the bureaus that need to be removed, and the positions of officials below? There are probably thousands.

Not to mention letting these people resign and go home, even if they are demoted, they may not be happy. Isn’t it? The State Sports Commission was originally renamed the Sports Bureau and demoted to the Deputy Ministerial level, but soon it was changed to the General Administration of Sports and resumed the Ministerial level. What is this for? Although the specific background is not very clear, but who would like to be smaller and smaller in his official position?

If Ding Yongjun is not appointed as the secretary of the Mingzhu Municipal Party Committee, even if he is a state committee member, I believe that Jiang Feng himself will jump out and oppose it and take action. This is related to personal interests.

Another difficulty in implementing the system of major ministries is functional integration.

Taking the Ministry of Transport as an example, it is said that the idea is to merge the State Administration of Civil Aviation, the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Railways. Of course, it is not difficult to merge the institutions, as long as the State Council nods, it is easy to operate.

But you should know that institutional mergers are one thing, but functional integration is another.

In recent years, a gust of wind has merged from domestic universities. What is the result? It is said that there are now 20 university directors and vice presidents. There are many people and talks, and it is difficult to decide on all matters of big and small.

This is still the case in universities, let alone officials with positions and powers?

To take a step back, even if the officials of the government are noble and honest, they can focus on the overall situation and integrate functions is not easy. The difficulties you want lie in the system first. The enterprises of the State Administration of Aviation and the Ministry of Transport are now under the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and the Ministry of Railways is both a government agency and has hundreds of billions of assets. The system is different, how can it be simply assembled?

From a management perspective, the Ministry of Railways, the Ministry of Transport and the State Administration of Civil Aviation currently have their own dispatching centers. Due to technical limitations, these three centers cannot be merged in the near future. If water, land, air and transportation are fighting each other and cannot coordinate the dispatch, the integration of functions is just empty talk.

This is the case with the Ministry of Transportation, and the situation of the Ministry of Energy, Agriculture, Culture and other ministries will be similar. So this raises a question: How big should the majority ministries and commissions be? Is the bigger the better?

"Economics talks about moderate scale, which must be based on transaction costs, and the scale of an enterprise depends on transaction costs. This is the case with enterprises and government reform. There is no doubt that the State Council implemented the system of large ministries and commissions, originally hoping to improve administrative efficiency and save coordination costs. If the scale is too large, the coordination costs will be higher, then such reforms will be worth the loss." Jiang Feng cautiously expressed his point of view, "Of course, institutional reform is imperative, but the question is, how should the order of reform be arranged? Should the organization be changed first or administrative approval first? My point of view should be changed first. If the approval system is not broken, institutional reform will be half the result with twice the result. There is a lesson in the past. In the past, did the institutional reform not change once and then expand again? The reason is that everyone said that the official-oriented position is the cause of the official position. Behind the official position is actually the administrative approval power. Imagine, if the political axe does not have the approval power, how could people try every means to enter the agency?"

Jiang Feng's words were refreshing. In fact, this is a fact that many people did not dare to raise. After all, no one dared to raise this statement directly to power.

But for Jiang Feng, this proposal has no negative impact on him. After all, he has not targeted anyone. If he expresses his support or opposes the institutional reform, it will make many people feel unhappy. After all, he is already a relatively influential figure now.

After hearing Jiang Feng's words, the leaders all showed deep thought expressions, or were also surprised. Unexpectedly, Jiang Feng was so righteous and did not express his attitude.

Who said that the little fox is not a fox?

...

Because during the Two Sessions, Ding Yongjun was also in the capital, even though the Rong family gathered together. During the chat, Ding Yongjun talked about the restructuring of most ministries and commissions.

In early 1998, after the reform of the State Council’s Institutions was launched, with the merger of some ministries and commissions, tens of thousands of civil servants who were diverted from the establishment were sent to China in the form of a state paying for the state, including the University of Shouda and the University of the Massachusetts to participate in the study of graduate students and undergraduate courses related to Embassy.

During the reform in 2003, such things were experienced again.

"The institutional reform was very strong that time. The former State Planning Commission, the Economic and Trade Commission, the Economic and Trade Commission, the Price Bureau, and the former State-owned Affairs Commission were merged into the Development and Reform Commission. The State-owned Sports Reform Commission was originally twelve directors, and the six directors of the State Council's Special Zone Office, and there were 18 directors in total. After the Sports Reform Commission became the Office of the Sports Reform Commission, there were only six departments and bureaus. The original six directors of the State-owned Sports Reform Commission were later merged into the Development and Reform Commission. It can be seen that the division of departments involved all aspects of interests. Reform was quite difficult and people needed to make sacrifices." Ding Yongjun said to Jiang Feng.

Unexpectedly, five years later, the new round of institutional reform of the State Council is like an arrow on the string, and some ministries, bureaus and institutions will face mergers. Obviously, more and more ministries and commission staff will participate in advanced course learning.

The difference is that a lot of these expenses for studying in the spare time are no longer paid by the state, but are proactive behaviors that are paid out of their own pocket.

"At the Two Sessions this year, the reform plan for establishing large ministries and commissions will be announced. At that time, the pace of merger of various ministries and commissions, or the pace of new ministries and commissions will accelerate, which means that another group of ministries and commissions will face diversion." Ding Yongjun told Jiang Feng, "According to the practice of the State-owned Affairs and Commission institutional reform, the recent plan for reform of the large-scale ministries and commissions will be gradually implemented during the Two Sessions and will be discussed and approved by the National People's Congress plenary session."

Ding Yongjun was able to discuss these things in such a good mood because this matter had little to do with him. Although he was a member of the Political Bureau and a leader of the Party and the country, his actual position was the Secretary of the Mingzhu Municipal Party Committee, and his main management was only the affairs in Mingzhu. For things like the restructuring of the majority system, he raised his hand at the final vote.

Of course, he didn't care about everything. Just like at Jiang Feng's suggestion, Ding Yongjun was still concerned about the idea of ​​building a large Ministry of Energy. However, judging from the current situation, it is probably difficult for the proposal of the large Ministry of Energy to be approved, because the interests involved are too big.

Jiang Feng is also well-informed. You can tell after a little inquiry that this matter is also very common in the capital.

There are two versions of the reform plan of the Ministry of Dependence System circulating in the capital. One is to establish a new mechanism relationship between decision-making, execution and supervision through the division between ministries and commissions, and the other is to establish this mechanism within ministries and commissions. However, no matter which version, it is rumored that the overall number of ministries and commissions will be reduced by about ten.

As the rumored version is flying all over the sky, officials below the director of the ministries and commissions that are rumored to have major mergers or splits have now become particularly sensitive and are extremely cautious in every move.

Generally speaking, at this time, you should talk less, do more, and do good things. Try to avoid making irritating remarks in public to avoid adverse effects when spreading. Otherwise, it is likely to become the fuse for tomorrow's resignation.

Due to the high call for the establishment of the Ministry of Energy in the new round of reforms, the Energy Office under the National Development and Reform Commission has attracted much attention. The department was upgraded from the previous National Development and Reform Commission Energy Bureau. The Energy Office has a comprehensive group, a strategic planning group, a policy group and other departments. The group leaders are called directors.

According to industry analysts, if the Energy Office can be promoted to the Ministry of Energy, it will become an important part of the State Council and can participate in the decision-making and implementation of major energy strategies. Some department-level departments can also be officially listed, and the original identity of directors of each group leader can be more legitimate.

The mentality of employees in departments that are rumored to undergo major changes is similar. Active work and waiting for news is their almost unanimous statement when facing the media.

In fact, this is understandable. If the ministries and commissions merge, the main reduction will be the position of minister. The department level has some impact, and the impact below the department will not be too great. For example, if a large department is really established above and an executive bureau is established below, the executive bureau staff will not change in any specific content or anything. On the contrary, it is a good thing, because the policy implementation is smoother, so as not to be arguing like the current situation.

Even those unpopular ministries and commissions with less demands for demolition and merger are also very low-key. Although the institutional reform of these ministries may be several years later and will not be so fast, everyone is clear about it, it is just about sooner or later. (To be continued.)
