pinnacle of power

"Secretary Zeng, take a look at this ten-thousand-word letter. It was jointly sent to me by some middle-level and grass-roots cadres in Tiandu City. They are very dissatisfied with Liu Qingyu's willful manipulation of the "Regulations on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of Migrant Workers." Of course, their dissatisfaction is not because of the law itself, but because they believe that this law directly links the rights and interests of migrant workers with the official positions of some responsible persons in government departments. It is not conducive to the real protection of the rights and interests of migrant workers, and it has played a huge role in damaging the normal development of the officialdom ecology."

While talking, Zhao Dongcai put the materials on Zeng Guohai's table.

After Zeng Guohai took the material and studied it carefully, he frowned and said, "I have also heard about the "Regulations on the Protection of Migrant Workers' Rights and Interests" that Tiandu City is drafting. It is said that this matter is now on the Internet and even some TV media There is a lot of hype. Regarding this matter, I think that from the perspective of our Tiandu Provincial Party Committee, there is no need for us to interpret this matter too much. After all, this is only a local law and regulation, and it is only limited to It is implemented within the scope of Tiandu City. Isn’t there a saying that practice is the only criterion for testing the truth. How effective is this law? Wouldn’t it be clear if Tiandu City is put into trial operation for a year or two? If Tiandu City is really in operation If it is very good, our Tiandu Province can also carry out legislation within the province.

Of course, if the implementation of Tiandu is not successful, we can also find problems and learn lessons from it, which is also very beneficial to our exploration of protecting the rights and interests of migrant workers.As for the book of ten thousand words..."

Speaking of this, Zeng Guohai showed a sneer of disdain on the corner of his mouth: "Governor Zhao, with all due respect, in my opinion, this ten-thousand-word book is a testimony of a guilty conscience. The reason why those officials want to write this ten-thousand-word book is It is because they are worried that their official position will be affected by the promotion and implementation of this law, and their behavior may even touch this law and affect their official position.

What these officials really care about is not whether the rights and interests of migrant workers can be guaranteed, but whether their own official positions can be guaranteed.For this list, I accepted it and wrote it down. Whenever there are important positions to be promoted in the future, all the people on these lists will be the first to be excluded. People like them who only know maintenance Officials who have no regard for their own interests, disregard the overall situation, and can't put themselves in the shoes of the common people, what face do they have to write this ten-thousand-word book? It's really ridiculous!

It is true that people in ancient times wrote ten-thousand-character books, but all the ten-thousand-character books they wrote were pertinent suggestions for governing the country, and they all had something to say, but what about this ten-thousand-character book?Apart from enumerating the adverse effects of implementing this local "Regulation on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of Migrant Workers" on Tiandu City, is there any way to truly consider the rights and interests of migrant workers?No! "

Having said this, Zeng Guohai looked at Zhao Dongcai whose face was gradually pale and said, "Comrade Zhao Dongcai, what do you think of this question?"

Zhao Dongcai did not expect that in front of such important materials as the Wanyan book, Zeng Guohai would speak so lightly, and his attitude was so straightforward, and he would even take revenge on the officials who signed the Wanyan book. This is something he absolutely cannot tolerate. of.

Zhao Dongcai said in a deep voice: "Secretary Zeng, I think your statement is a little too extreme. It is true that these officials have considered this factor for their own official positions, but you have to admit that some of their worries still exist. If the "Regulations on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of Migrant Workers" is really implemented in Tiandu, then Tiandu may really face the most serious infighting in the officialdom in history. It may even force some officials in Tiandu to act like migrant workers We have to guard against this kind of thing. As the provincial leaders, we must ensure the absolute stability and unity of the officialdom in Tiandu Province. We cannot engage in internal strife.

Of course, I understand Comrade Liu Qingyu's pioneering and enterprising ideas, but his approach is indeed sometimes too extreme. Shouldn't the responsibility be shifted to the officials whenever there is a problem with the interests of the common people?What kind of logic is this. "

Zeng Guohai shook his head: "Comrade Zhao Dongcai, I don't think you are right. Protecting the interests of the people is what we officials should do. What is serving the people? What is a public servant of the people? Only officials who serve the people wholeheartedly They are the real public servants of the people. As for those civil servants who usually sit in the office blowing on the air conditioner, drinking tea and reading the newspaper, and always flirting with the common people who go to work, asking for cards, and deliberately making things difficult, they are not the public servants of the people. , That is the uncle of the people!

Perhaps there are not many such people, but they are very typical. Almost every department and every agency can always find such people. , did not resolutely oppose the Four Winds, and did not resolutely implement the Eight Regulations. Regarding such civil servants or officials, we, as provincial leaders, must look at their problems from a strategic height.We should absolutely not protect our shortcomings, but must bravely face the feedback of the common people on these issues, and we must not be soft when it is time to make rectifications.

Comrade Zhao Dongcai, have you seen an increasingly severe reality? For example, this time Jiang Zhigang used the method of jumping off a building to ask for his salary. A certain number of casualties were incurred, and a certain commoner directly broke into a demolition office and hacked the director of the demolition office to death. Why did such an extreme case occur?Have you ever really thought about what kind of deep-seated contradictions between the government and the people are hidden behind these extreme cases? "

When he said this, Zeng Guohai's face became very serious.

Zhao Dongcai said coldly: "It's not that exaggerated, right? These are just individual cases, and it doesn't mean that every ordinary person will do this. Only some people with extreme ideas will do this."

Zeng Guohai shook his head: "Individual cases? Maybe one or two cases in some places is an isolated case, but similar incidents are happening one after another in various places, so this is not an isolated case.

Whether it is the rights protection behavior caused by demolition and land acquisition, or the collective action caused by environmental protection issues, etc., behind these incidents are all related to the behavior of public authorities.Regardless of its main content or form, conflicts between officials and the people are related to institutional conflicts of interest.Some local governments are one-sidedly pursuing the growth of gdp, even pursuing performance projects, ignoring the function of providing public services to the people, and competing with the people for profit everywhere. In addition, some government officials are corrupt and domineering, ignore the interests of the people, and add violence at every turn , Seriously infringed on various rights and interests of the people, worsened the relationship between the government and the people, and intensified the conflict.Perhaps such contradictory events do not exist on a large scale, but you cannot deny that such a fact does exist.

It is precisely because of this fact that we should introduce some institutional things to protect the legitimate rights and interests of ordinary people and lock power in the cage of the system. Why our country now advocates the construction of a society ruled by law is precisely because the country The leadership sees many problems in the real world.

And Liu Qingyu advocated in Tiandu City to adopt the local "Regulations on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of Migrant Workers" against the arrears of wages of migrant workers. It is precisely the vigorous practice of the concept of ruling the country by law, which is the path that the real rule of law should take.Perhaps there are still various shortcomings and problems in his proposal, but as long as he dares to try and work hard for the benefit of the country and the people, then as the leaders of the provincial party committee, why can't we support him? ?Why do we have to kill such a good attempt in the cradle?

Comrade Zhao Dongcai, you are also an enlightened person. I don't believe you can't see how Liu Qingyu's advocacy of the "Regulations on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of Migrant Workers" will have a huge impact on the future officialdom of Tiandu City and even Tiandu Province. , and this kind of impact is absolutely positive, it can stimulate us to rectify the officialdom style, and force officials to take the initiative to change themselves to serve the people through institutional measures.Whether it is active or passive, as long as the interests of the common people can be protected, as long as the contradictions between the government and the people can be reconciled, why don't we support this beneficial attempt?

Comrade Zhao Dongcai, I know that there have always been some conflicts between your Zhao family and Liu family, and Liu Qingyu has a lot of personal grievances with your Zhao family, but I hope that you, as the leader of Tiandu Province, can stand on the overall situation. Looking at this issue, I hope you can treat this matter with the mind of the governor. "

After finishing speaking, Zhao Dongcai stared at Zhao Dongcai with piercing eyes.

Zhao Dongcai was silent.

Zeng Guohai said so much just now, but his real intention is actually the last sentence. The previous ones are just big principles. He understands, Zeng Guohai understands, and even every provincial party committee leader understands, but Zeng Guohai's last sentence is his reason why Zhao Dongcai The key to strongly opposing Liu Qingyu's actions.

There is no unreasonable love and no unreasonable hatred in the officialdom. The relationship between Liu Qingyu and the Zhao family has long been in a state of incompatibility and cannot coexist.Moreover, if Liu Qingyu really sits in Tiandu province, it will be very unfavorable to the future and destiny of their Zhao family.Therefore, he hopes to curb Liu Qingyu's rise to the greatest extent.This is the same as the United States' efforts to curb the rise of China through the implementation of the Asia-Pacific rebalancing strategy.

The rise of Liu Qingyu and the decline of the Zhao family are interactive, and the Thucydides trap applies not only to international relations, but also to official and personal relations.

Therefore, it is impossible for Zhao Dongcai to do what Zeng Guohai said.

Zeng Guohai looked at Zhao Dongcai, waiting for his answer.
