Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 401 Policy Support

“Alas, sometimes when doing things or making decisions, you have to break the rules yourself.

What I hate most is to use executive power to influence the law, but I have to do it at the last minute.”

Qi Tongwei was drinking tea in the Municipal Party Committee building, which was in the office of the director of the Municipal Party Committee's Policy Research Office. The director, Chen Yu, was patiently making tea.

Chen Yu remained silent, listening to Qi Tongwei talking about what happened at the Safety Supervision Bureau.

"The worst situation is that administrative authority is used to enforce certain administrative goals in a campaign-like manner.

This can make people addicted. Grassroots governments have very few means at their disposal, the law does not clearly specify what powers they grant to them, the economy is developing too fast, society is changing too fast, and all policies are subject to serious hysteresis.

Every task requires strong pressure, and we must carry out two-month and one hundred-day attacks.

They would easily drop other tasks at hand and rush to do a task. Once the task is done, the grassroots cadres would be lazy and unwilling to do other tasks unless they are strongly pressured.

Brother Chen, life at the grassroots level is tough, and you don’t know how to do anything.”

"Drink some tea and calm down. This person is going to be the district chief."

Qi Tongwei drank a cup of tea but didn't taste anything.

“There are many reasons for this, and the changing policies from above are one of them.

There are always various urgent tasks and no long-term plans for anything.

But to be honest, the situation is changing so quickly now that long-term plans are useless.

Taking the new district and the former Yongqing County as an example, the GDP has grown by about 100% for three consecutive years, and all kinds of high-end buildings have sprung up.

Even the new district was only established in the past two years, and everyone hasn't changed their name yet.

Last time I heard about an example in the court where a criminal suspect who stole more than 30,000 yuan was sentenced to death by shooting.

Many entrepreneurs often say they made one million or two million this year, but over there, someone is willing to take a life for 30,000 yuan.”

Qi Tongwei also knew about this, because the law was made in the 1980s. At that time, 30,000 yuan was not enough for most families to afford a house. However, in just a decade or so, many entrepreneurs have earned millions a year.

Even some skilled technical workers have an annual income of more than 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, but the legal standard is still 30,000 yuan.

In the end, no miracle happened. Even though the lawyer involved kept running around and speaking out, the suspect was still sentenced to death by shooting. I heard that the case will soon enter the High Court review stage.

“It takes time to amend the law. When I was involved in the revision of the Public Security Administration Punishment Ordinance, I traveled to dozens of cities for research, which took nearly half a year.

I don't know how much work it took before the new law was finally revised.

Administrative policies are a supplement to the law. This is my opinion.”

This was also one of the purposes of Qi Tongwei coming to the Policy Research Office, to promote the addition of new compensation policies for work-related injuries and deaths. He was temporarily powerless on the legal side. Although he wrote a letter to Teacher Hong, the efficiency of their work could not be very high.

However, the policy-making speed in Dongou City is much faster, and the Policy Research Office is the advisory group of the Municipal Party Committee. For them to put forward this opinion is considered a formal channel.

"So what you mean is to issue a red-headed document to raise the standard for work-related injuries and deaths in Dong'ou City, right?"

Chen Yu is a smart man who can understand the elegant meaning of the music. As soon as Qi Tongwei sat down and started talking, he had a hunch that this young man didn't have the time or leisure to chat.

But thinking about it this way, there is great potential for this matter. If relevant policies are introduced in advance and attract the attention of those above, and if the law is interpreted in this direction, then this will be a definite credit.

“Tongwei, if you are really interested in this matter, then you can take the lead and we can cooperate with the Political Research Office.

Let’s make suggestions to the municipal party committee and government to introduce new policies.”

"Well, smart people talk without much effort."

Qi Tongwei smiled happily and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Chen Yu.

With the support of the Policy Research Office and suggestions from Jiangbei New District and Ming, the municipal party committee and government quickly studied guiding policies for work-related injuries, which gave Qi Tongwei some official endorsement for what he did and reduced his guilt for violating regulations and relying on authority to force things.

Qi Tongwei kept telling himself that since he looked down upon the likes of Sha Ruijin and Li Dakang who followed the boss-only approach and relied entirely on their personal power and authority to push things forward, and since he looked down upon them for having the power to disregard the law, rules and procedures, he had to do what he said.

At least in one's own hands, one must first abide by laws and regulations and policies and rules, instead of being like Li Dakang, who, in order to curry favor with Sha Ruijin, instructed Sun Liancheng to forcibly take back the land that had already been sold and gave it away for nothing to the confused old man Chen Yanshi.

You know, twenty years later, the land in Guangming District of Jingzhou City will be the city center land, and twenty acres of land is worth one billion yuan. He is going to give it away to the workers of Dafeng Factory for free without even opening his mouth. Isn't this using the people's property as a personal bribery gift for Li Dakang?

Sha Ruijin was also extremely shameless. When Sun Liancheng refused to give his adoptive father the land for free, he immediately made an excuse to go to the Guangming District Petition Bureau to cause trouble. The two shameless men conspired to send an innocent and honest cadre to the Children's Palace.

What's the difference between this kind of thing and the evil leaders in the unit persecuting innocent subordinates just because they block their way to gain profits.

Although Qi Tongwei was not clear about what happened next because he was soon in trouble, he could guess that Li Dakang would definitely find other cadres, first promising them promotions and becoming the new commander-in-chief of Guangming Peak, and then forcing the new cadres to violate regulations and grant land to Dafeng Factory, which might be the land of Shanshui Group. As for whether it was legal or not, and whether it caused the loss of state-owned assets, they had no right to interfere. They would first flatter Chen Yanshi.

Qi Tongwei returned to the office and thought that he should not be so arrogant and force the company to do unnecessary things, so he called Wang Xintai who was busy outside.

Wang Xintai looked exhausted, apparently because of the annual assessment. Qi Tongwei felt a little guilty when he saw him like this. His subordinates had worked so hard, but he still called them and forced them to come over for no reason. Wasn't that a bit bureaucratic?

So he stood up and took the initiative to make tea.

"Old Wang, please sit down and have some tea."

This made Wang Xintai feel very embarrassed. He was already feeling resentful. He was working outside. The matter was so urgent that he had to rush back in five minutes after receiving a call from Qi Tongwei. He could only borrow a director's car and rushed back after running a red light.

"You're too polite, Secretary."

Wang Xintai took the teacup with both hands but didn't dare to sit down.

"Please sit down. You are so polite."
