Bao Jinghui, Secretary of the Hexi Provincial Party Committee, did not expect that he encountered a small setback at this banquet, which made him very depressed, but he couldn't say anything.

Just after Bao Jinghui and Zhao Decun entered the banquet hall, they found that the faces of the counselors who had been smiling all the time changed their colors, and they stood in front of the banquet table with their hands behind their backs, refusing to sit down no matter what.

The person who can sit in the position of Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee is naturally not a simple person. Bao Jinghui understood at a glance: "Comrade De Cun, you are the former director of the National People's Congress of our province, and today you can be regarded as half the master. Respected old leader, although the dishes at today's banquet are not four dishes and one soup, they are still served according to the standard, this time is not an example, let's invite everyone to the table."

The three counselors still did not move, and the counselors Hua Lao and Zong Lao who came with Zhao Decun looked at Zhao Decun. They wanted to see how Zhao Decun, the team leader, would deal with this situation.

"Hehe, thank you for the warm hospitality of the Hexi Provincial Party Committee. The few of us can't eat so many dishes, and it's a pity to waste them. When we get older, we can eat light food. Let's remove a few."

Zhao Decun's speech was very objective, which saved Bao Jinghui from embarrassment. Although the counselors came to investigate under the order of the Prime Minister, Bao Jinghui, a big official in Xinjiang, still has to give face. not good.

After leaving four dishes and one soup, Zhao Decun sat down. From this moment on, the counselors' investigation in Hexi Province officially entered the role.Originally, I came to Hexi to investigate the issue of Sangong consumption. If Zhao Decun and others continue to eat and drink, how can they talk about others, and they must pay attention to every move in the officialdom, let alone those who come from the prime minister like them. ?

People of their status and age, even if they drink a little wine, they can only taste it. After finishing the official article, Zhao Decun said with a smile: "Secretary Bao, we are here this time, mainly to deal with the existence of Sangong consumption. Judging from the current situation, it is indeed necessary to stop this trend."

Bao Jinghui laughed, no wonder these old fellows refused to sit down, it turned out to be the case.In order to stop the wind of eating and drinking, the central government did not know how many documents were issued, but they were all useful at the time. After the limelight was over, it was not necessary to eat and drink. As long as you don’t put it in the wrong pocket, there is nothing to eat and drink. These old guys are really holding chicken feathers as arrows.

"Three public consumption is really difficult to manage, and some problems are also difficult to define. Now that the economy has developed, people's living standards have also improved, and there are many guests from the central ministries and agencies and brother provinces and cities. You must live with face. .”

Zhao Decun nodded: "Secretary Bao's words are also reasonable, but this time the situation is different. The problem of Sangong consumption has become very serious. I heard that the Prime Minister has lost his temper. Although the economy of Hexi Province is doing well, various economic The index has always been in the top six in the country, but the consumption of public goods in your province is also the third in the country, please Secretary Bao pay more attention to it."

"Is the Prime Minister angry?" Bao Jinghui was taken aback. It is definitely not a trivial matter to make the Prime Minister angry. What Cao Jinian said is correct. Although the economy of Hexi Province is developing well, the consumption of Sangong is far away. It exceeded the average level of other provinces and cities. Now that the prime minister is angry, Bao Jinghui has to think about it seriously.

"Yes, the Prime Minister's speech at the meeting of the State Council was very serious, and he instructed the National Labor Committee, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Counselor's Office of the State Council to conduct selective investigations in some provinces and cities to find a practical way to do so, and required Adopt legislation to solve once and for all the phenomenon that the consumption of the three public goods exceeds the limit and increases, and the control becomes wider. We have summarized the Prime Minister’s instructions into three points, which are to control the mouth, buttocks and legs of officials at all levels, referred to as the three tubes. "

Although the remaining four dishes and one soup were less in number, they were all delicious in color, flavor and taste. Among them was a boiled cabbage that was made completely according to the state banquet standard, which was Bao Jinghui's favorite dish on weekdays, but today he Didn't taste the same as before.

There is a lot of background in mentioning this dish. Let me first talk about the main ingredient of this dish, cabbage. In fact, only the yellowish tender heart in the middle of the Chinese cabbage is taken. The cabbage heart when it is not fully cooked is the best.

The so-called "boiled water" is to put the old hen, old duck, hooves, ribs, scallops and other fresh goods on the Yunnan Xuanwei ham into the boiling water pot, remove the blood and impurities, and then wash them, put them into the soup pot together, add Bring a sufficient amount of water, ginger, and green onions to a boil, remove the foam, add cooking wine, switch to a low heat to keep it slightly open and not boil, and simmer slowly until the soup is delicious.

Then beat the clean chicken breast into minced meat, stir the minced meat into soybean milk with cold fresh soup, and pour it into the boiled fresh soup. At this time, a wonderful scene will appear in the fresh soup: the impurities in the soup are vying to be adsorbed on the Slowly form a ball on the minced meat, pick up the ball after about 10 minutes, and discard it.Repeat this 23 times until the soup is "clear" as clear as boiling water.

It is made of slightly yellow "boiling water". Put the cabbage heart into boiling water to stop the growth, then rinse it with clean water, remove the fishy smell and put it in "boiling water" for 15 minutes. Lightly pour "boiling water", this dish is considered successful.

The reason why Bao Jinghui didn't taste the same as before today is not because the chef didn't do a good job, but because he had something to do with his mood. Ranking in the top three, Bao Jinghui couldn't help but feel the seriousness of the problem.

Regarding this problem, the central government has issued many documents in the past. That time, it was raining and the ground was wet, which did not fundamentally solve the problem. The way of legislation means that this time it is going to be serious.

Looking at Zhao Decun, I saw that the old guy was picking up a piece of clear water cabbage and putting it into his mouth, chewing it happily. Bao Jinghui sighed secretly, then shook his head again.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Luobei City, the provincial capital of Hexi Province, has been built very well in recent years. The wide streets are full of neon lights, high-rise buildings, prosperous shops, and tourists. Everywhere shows the wealth and prosperity of this coastal province.

Hua Lao and Zong were old people, and they didn't like the excitement, so they went back to rest after dinner, but Cao Jinian went out for a walk together at Bao Jinghui's invitation.Talking about taking a walk is just a talk, the most important thing is that Bao Jinghui wants to ask Cao Jinian about the Prime Minister's attitude towards the high consumption of Sangong in Hexi Province, and the real purpose of Zhao Decun's investigation this time.

"Secretary Jing Hui," Zhao Decun pointed to the rows of limousines in the parking lot and said, "Although this is the designated reception unit of the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government, judging from these vehicles, most of them are buses. How many of the consumption here are paid out of their own pockets? Controlling the mouths of cadres is the most important thing to control the consumption of the three publics, and eating and drinking with public funds is the most likely to arouse the public indignation of the people. If this situation continues to develop, the situation will be dire That would be bad."

As the secretary of a province, Bao Jinghui is well aware of the problems in this area. If a serious investigation is carried out, few of the consumptions in this hotel tonight are serious business receptions. Use public funds to eat and drink.But there is no way around this. Each unit has its own small treasury, and the money collected from the bottom is not included in financial management at all, and this money is difficult to find out. It is not easy to completely eliminate the three public consumption ?

"Director Zhao, you are also an old leader of our province, and you should be very clear about this issue. When I first came to our Hexi Province, I also planned to deal with the chaotic situation of public consumption. Mouth, but encountered too much resistance, we can only hold a meeting to emphasize that it is really difficult to fundamentally solve this problem.”

Zhao Decun heard the meaning of Bao Jinghui's words, why didn't he know that what Bao Jinghui said was the truth?Now the problem of Sangong consumption has become more and more serious. When Zhao Decun was the governor of Hexi Province, Sangong consumption was not too outrageous, but after so many years, it has increased by 50.00%. The growth rate of Sangong consumption has far exceeded This is very abnormal.

Under the influence of this atmosphere, some officials no longer have the intention to work hard, and they are only thinking about how to eat, drink, and have fun.If things go on like this, the will of the entire cadre team will be further weakened, and the relationship between the cadres and the masses will be further tense.Although the central government has strengthened the supervision of cadres and stepped up anti-corruption efforts, some officials dare not accept bribes blatantly, but they have turned their minds to this aspect.I am used to being greedy for enjoyment, who would still take work and the interests of the people at heart?

Walking along the East-West Avenue, from time to time, you can see high-end cars with government license plates speeding past. By this hour, the officials have already had dinner, and the next show is for fun. It's not just some government officials.

"Just now, I heard from you that the Prime Minister is very dissatisfied with the issue of Sangong consumption, and asked to take legal measures to solve this problem. Does Comrade Decun have a good solution?"

Zhao Decun glanced at Bao Jinghui, and said slowly: "Secretary Jinghui's words are very interesting. What you just said actually already knows what to do. My hometown is Hexi Province, and this is where I have worked all my life. I still have a lot of affection for this place. My personal opinion is that the problems that have arisen in the past are things of the past. The key is to look forward. If Hexi Province can take a good lead in this three-management action, brake It's a good thing to live in this unhealthy wind."

Bao Jinghui let out a sigh of relief. What he was most worried about was that the Prime Minister would seize this matter and not let it go. He would shoot the first bird, and take the problem of Hexi Province as a model, which would implicate a large number of officials. This caused political turmoil in Hexi.Now hearing what Zhao Decun said, the Prime Minister does not want to pursue responsibility for what happened in the past, which means forgetting the past. If he can make some political achievements in this matter, he may be able to get a blessing in disguise.

Bao Jinghui believed in Zhao Decun's words, not only because Zhao Decun was a counselor in the State Council's Counselor's Office, but also because he had a daughter who worked next to the Prime Minister. Presumably these meanings should come from people around the Prime Minister, otherwise If so, Zhao Decun may not have the courage to falsely preach the imperial decree.

Bao Jinghui's guess was not wrong at all, the fact is that, just the day before Zhao Decun came to Hexi Province for investigation, he once visited Yi Le Hall, and Mu Guoxing told him clearly at that time that the Counselor's Office of the State Council will go down this time. Research is mainly to understand the situation and find out the solution to the problem.The central government will not hold on to the small braids of the governments at all levels below. As long as they can realize the seriousness of the problem, they will resolutely implement the policies formulated by the central government for the three public consumption issues in the future.

Although Zhao Decun is only a ministerial-level cadre, it is impossible for him to stand high and look far like Mu Guoxing, and solve the problem from a macro perspective, but he can also hear from Mu Guoxing's speech that the central government does not care about the consumption of the three public goods. I don't want to pursue the previous responsibilities. To be precise, it is for the political stability of the whole country. As long as the subordinates can obey the spirit of the central government's instructions in this regard, they will be let go.Because of this, Zhao Decun dared to say these words in front of Bao Jinghui.

"Thank you, Director Zhao! I know what to do, and I hope that Director Zhao's research in Hexi Province will go well, and the provincial party committee and government will fully cooperate with your work."

The two walked and chatted, and came to a small stone bridge. Looking at the lights and cruise ships on the lake not far away, Zhao Decun said again: "Governing the public consumption is not only about controlling the mouths, buttocks and legs of officials. , I think the central government will definitely have a deeper meaning. After governing the consumption of the three public goods, it may be the transparency of fiscal revenue and expenditure. Party organizations at all levels have jointly formed a joint supervision mechanism to build a sunny, transparent and efficient government."

"Director Zhao is right, and I think so too. This is also a goal that the whole party is striving for. The leadership of the State Council this term is making steady progress towards this goal step by step. I think that in the next This goal will definitely be achieved at the first National Party Congress, which will create extremely favorable conditions for the work of the new generation of leading collectives.”

Zhao Decun is very clear about what Bao Jinghui said. When the next National Party Congress is held, it will be time for general elections. The new central leadership group will make its debut, headed by Song Hailin, the current number one leader. The older generation of leaders will step down. If Bao Jinghui, the governor of Hexi Province, does well, he may be able to go further. Otherwise, he can only retreat to the second line.Whether Bao Jinghui goes up or down depends on the Prime Minister's attitude.Everyone knows that the current prime minister, Mu Guoxing, may be the No. [-] of the next central leadership group, and his attitude is crucial.

"It's man-made. The central government has been doing some things in the past few years. The purpose is to form a unity of purpose, remove obstacles on the way forward, mobilize all forces in the country, and strive for the realization of the nation's take-off. There are different views on some interests, but the general direction is the same, I hope Secretary Jing Hui can grasp this point."

A car stopped not far away, and a person got out of the car, took a little look at it, and walked over to Bao Jinghui quickly: "I saw it looked like Secretary Bao from a long distance, so it was really you who was there Here."

Zhao Decun also recognized that the person who came was his old subordinate, Wang Yang, secretary of Fengshan Municipal Party Committee.Seeing that Zhao Decun was also there, Wang Yang was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "When did the old leader come to Hexi? Are you in good health?"

"Director Zhao, Comrade Wang Yang is now the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee. He led a team out to study a few days ago. He must have just returned today."

"Hehe, Comrade Wang Yang, we meet again." Zhao Decun held Wang Yang's hand with a smile. He knew that his old subordinate had completed a magnificent turn and transferred to Bao Jinghui's door, and he felt an unspeakable feeling in his heart. smell.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Knowing that the two of them had something to talk about, Zhao Decun didn't let Bao Jinghui and Wang Yang see him off, and took his secretary back to the hotel.Knowing that Wang Yang would definitely come to visit later, he made tea and sat on the sofa to watch TV.

As Zhao Decun expected, the doorbell rang 15 minutes later, and Wang Yang walked in with a smile: "Old leader, I didn't know you were coming, and I didn't go to the airport to meet you. I'm really sorry."

"Hehe, you're out of town. I don't know why I'm here, so I'm sorry. Don't engage in such hypocrisy between us."

Wang Yang knew exactly what Zhao Decun meant by this sentence. It seemed that the old leader did not regard himself as an outsider. He took the tea brought by the staff and said with a smile: "You don't blame the old leader. This is your magnanimity, but As far as I am concerned, I should really pay attention to it.”

Zhao Decun recognized the pun in Wang Yang's words, and nodded without saying a word.Now that Zhao Decun has retired, he can no longer benefit the old subordinates. Of course, he wants to switch to the family and find a backer who can bring him benefits. Things like this are not uncommon in the officialdom. can be regrettable.

Wang Yang sat on the sofa with half his buttocks. Although he is now a cadre at the deputy ministerial level, he still feels depressed in front of Zhao Decun. This is not only because Zhao Decun has supported him, but more importantly What's more, Zhao Decun is a figure of heaven.Now all the officials in Hexi Province know the relationship between Zhao Decun and the Mu family, relying on Zhao Decun is equivalent to relying on the Mu family, especially Zhao Decun's old subordinates like Wang Yang, now they feel more and more respect in their hearts.

"Comrade Wang Yang, this time I came back by order of the Prime Minister to investigate the issue of Sangong consumption. As the chief steward of the provincial party committee, you must play your due role in this work."

"Thank you for the old leader's trust. Just now, Secretary Bao told me the purpose of your investigation, and instructed me to cooperate with you in your work."

Zhao Decun smiled and said: "Let's not talk about the work today. I have one more thing to ask you about this time. I heard that a big event happened in Haidao County of Fengshan City a while ago. What happened? What kind of situation is it?"

Following Wang Yang's report, Zhao Decun's frown became tighter and tighter. He never expected that there would be a spy case involving many officials in Fengshan City, where he had worked for many years. It was discovered by a small town mayor named Jin Shuai, and it was only cracked after reporting to the Prime Minister.

"The mayor named Jin Shuai is very capable to meet the Prime Minister."

Wang Yang knew exactly what Zhao Decun meant by these words, and smiled and said, "Comrade Jin Shuai made great contributions in solving this case. The Prime Minister's Office later called to inquire about his situation. He is now the deputy county magistrate of Haidao County. Yes. The young man has performed well in all aspects, and he seems to be a talent."

Who is handsome Jin, and how can he meet the prime minister?Zhao Decun subconsciously picked up the teacup, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt incredible: "This means that the espionage case in Haidao County was not handled by the central government through the Fengshan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, but was directly handled by the national security and public security departments. You are in Fengshan When the city was the secretary of the municipal party committee, didn't you notice this problem at all?"

Wang Yang shook his head: "Old leader, when I was the secretary of the municipal party committee in Fengshan City, I basically followed the guidelines formulated by the municipal party committee when Comrade Lu Lin was in office, and did not make major adjustments to the cadre team."
