After the lecturer finished speaking, he picked up the chalk and wrote two big words on the blackboard behind him: "Reduce the burden!"

After writing, the lecturer turned around and said to all the students below: "Students, the topic we want to discuss in this class today is 'reducing burden'. Over the past few decades of reform, reducing burden has been a major issue that is often raised. Reducing burden is related to the success of the reform and is also related to the vital interests of millions of ordinary people. In recent years, the central government has proposed many measures to reduce the burden on farmers, reduce the burden on small and medium-sized enterprises, reduce the burden on students, reduce the burden on migrant workers, etc. However, most of these burden-reducing policies did not realize the original intention of the central government when formulating measures. Today we will discuss this topic and analyze the reasons."

"All the students here come from all over the motherland and have been working at the grassroots level for a long time to understand the actual situation. I hope everyone can speak freely and actively participate in the discussion!"

The lecturer said a few words of encouragement and stood on the podium and watched everyone, hoping that someone would be the first to stand up and express his opinion.

The students below seemed a little cautious. This topic was not easy to talk about. This is very different from the last time Mr. Dong came to listen to. The last time I discussed the economic crisis and did not involve politics. It doesn’t matter how you talk about it casually. Even if you say it wrong, at most it will be just a little face. Today’s topic involves policies, but if you say it wrong, it is not a matter of losing face.

There are many topics about reducing burdens in recent years. Many of the people here have actually participated in the formulation and implementation of various burden-reducing measures. They also have a certain understanding of why the burden-reducing failures. However, it is precisely because of some understanding that everyone is more cautious and no one is willing to open this conversation easily. Especially today, there are observers from the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China taking notes on the side, so everyone is even more worried.

If you talk lightly, you will seem to be incompetent and a mediocre person, which will affect your future promotion; if you talk deeply, if you accidentally encounter a core problem, the consequences will be unpredictable.

"Don't have any concerns. This is not the first time I have discussed the topic of reducing burdens in the Party School class." The lecturer made a relaxed look and encouraged again: "You can just say whatever you think in your heart."

Everyone has experienced the relaxed academic atmosphere in the Party School classroom these days. Almost all issues can be discussed and will not restrict everyone's speeches. Take today's topic, and the lecturer talked about "not meeting the original intention of the central government", which is a disguised saying that "reducing burdens" failed.

If this kind of thing is put outside the Party School, everyone will be a unified official article, "If certain results have been achieved, they will continue to deepen reform." Continuing to deepen reform is actually to say that the previous burden reduction measures have failed, but no one will admit it, let alone say it explicitly.

If the teachers in the Party School dare to say this, it is a manifestation of a loose academic atmosphere.

"Let me say a few words!"

Finally someone was willing to start. The class monitor who spoke was the class monitor. He was the deputy mayor of a prefecture-level city, in charge of industry and economy, and was considered a powerful figure.

He turned his body to face everyone and said, "As a grassroots worker, I have a deep understanding of one sentence, that is, 'Every family has a difficult sutra'. Local government is like a housekeeper. Everything in the family's firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea must be managed. We must develop the economy, promote development, focus on production, ensure safety, and pay attention to people's livelihood construction. There are many things to do. If you can't do any aspect well, problems may follow..."

"This work requires a priority, and priority. If it is not important, it will be a mess. Economic work is very important and must not be relaxed. You must not relax your vigilance. You must always supervise high-pressure supervision; let alone people's livelihood construction, you must keep up. If there is too much matter to be done, your energy will inevitably be dispersed. The implementation of burden reduction measures is not implemented properly. I think it is related to this..."

"The same old saying, nothing is difficult in the world, I am afraid of those who are determined. If you want to reduce the burden to the end, you must pay more attention and regard the burden reduction as an important political task to complete it!" The class monitor came to his own conclusion, then looked around the members of the class and smiled: "This is my personal opinion. It is not very mature. I hope it can play a role in throwing bricks and attracting jade."

Shi Wei took a pen and wrote two words on his notebook, and then whispered to Zeng Yi: "It's still the class leader who is of high level. He changed the discussion on reducing burdens into complaints!"

Zeng Yi smiled faintly and thought to himself that the squad leader was really too slippery. He said everything just now, and he did participate in the discussion on reducing burdens, but when he thought about it carefully, it was not like this. There were only two things in his words: one was to shirke the responsibility, and the other was to complain. It was not that we did not reduce the burden. There were actually more important things to be taken, and we also wanted to reduce the burden, but after reducing the burden, what should we use to develop the economy and protect people's livelihood!

In fact, reducing burdens and developing the economy are not contrary to each other. Only by reducing burdens can we move forward faster, but once the squad leader speaks, it becomes a problem of choosing one of two.

It is open to complaining, but there are even some self-affirmation components in secret. When it is difficult to recite the "sutra", we also recite the sutras and read them in a very good manner. They have both order and priority, and they can arrange all of them properly. Even if we have no contribution, we will always have hard work!

The squad leader's speech immediately inspired many people. This trick was very good. It did not deviate from the topic of discussion, but also complained about the difficulties of local workers. By the way, it also "praises himself" and allowed the observers of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee to see their achievements.

With the squad leader, the speeches afterwards became much more enthusiastic. Many people carried out vigorous "self-criticism" and were humble, saying that they did not do a good job in reducing burdens and did not take them seriously. In fact, they were all making excuses, and by the way, they also boasted about their other work achievements in obscurely.

Zeng Yi was amused and laughed, but he could understand that many of the problems these people complained about were also very meaningful. Although they were not fundamental, they did lead to the inability to implement the burden reduction directly or indirectly. Their speeches did not deviate from today's discussion topic. Zeng Yi was also a grassroots work and knew that there were many unscrupulous difficulties in it. You had to make it after ordering the dishes on it, but it was hard for a good cook to cook without rice.

Everyone made speeches, and the members of the 312 dormitory are naturally no exception. It is one thing that you speak incorrectly when speaking, but if you don’t speak, you will definitely be heavily recorded by the observers of the Organization Department of the Central Committee: A certain student is not active in participating in the discussion.

This problem is also very serious!

He Xiangdong and Shi Wei also expressed their opinions, which were similar in nature to the speeches of those people above. They avoided the importance and talked about their opinions lightly.

Only Zhang Wenqi is more kind and directly pointed out this topic, saying: "...The above only said that the burden is to be reduced, but there are no specific supporting measures, and the actual situation in different places is not very similar. For example, in a poor county, the county's fiscal revenue basically depends on administrative fees and fines. Without these income, the county's finance will be paralyzed immediately, and even the wages of cadres and employees cannot be paid. How can you ask them to reduce the burden? They will never be willing to reduce the burden. This is certain... I think that if you want to reduce the burden on the people, you must first reduce the burden on local governments. Moreover, the burden reduction is a comprehensive project. Without relevant supporting measures, it is difficult to ensure the effect of implementation..."

After Zhang Wenqi finished speaking, everyone did not look at Zhang Wenqi, but secretly observed the people from the Organization Department of the Central Committee. The observers still looked expressionless, but just remembered the key points they thought they should remember in the notebook.

He Xiangdong secretly felt worried about Zhang Wenqi. Lao Zhang was so real. This can be said more tactfully. In fact, what everyone said just now is basically the same meaning, but it was not clearly stated. If you say it clearly, wouldn’t it be a blame for the above policy problems? Is it wrong to reduce the burden above?

Zhang Wenqi looked calm, but in fact he was a little nervous. However, when he asked him to say something, he still felt that he should have made it clear. If he didn't, he thought he was sorry for his cadre responsibilities. Since it was a reflection of the problem, he should have made it clear.

Seeing that no one was speaking, Zeng Yi cleared his throat and prepared to speak. He didn't want to be the only person who didn't speak: "I'll talk about my opinion, too..."

Shi Wei kicked Zeng Yi gently under the table, signaling Zeng Yi not to say it like Zhang Wenqi. Even if you are a deputy chief clerk, no one will say anything, so don’t make a fool on your own initiative.

Zeng Yi smiled and ignored Shi Wei's kick. He stood up from his seat and said, "There is a small story in "Zhuangzi? Qiwu Lun" that everyone must know, called "Feng and Flesh". I think our burden reduction work is the same as the burden reduction. The burden that is reduced today will be reduced tomorrow and will be restored. If you reduce it, you will never be able to reduce it."

Everyone looked back at Zeng Yi. This metaphor is very vivid. The real situation is probably like this.

Today is the fourth and third days. The top mentioned that the burden was reduced, so everyone was fickle. When the top proposed to reduce the burden again, everyone changed back to the fourth and third days. After this repeated, the top and bottom could deal with it.

Shi Wei lowered his head and wrote something on the notebook. He had no choice. Zeng Yi was the youngest in the dormitory, but in terms of his firmness in his mind, Zeng Yi was definitely second to none, even more stubborn than Zhang Wenqi. It seems that his reminder just now did not work, so this kid might have to say something again.

Zeng Yi first expressed his conclusion and said: "The reason why this situation of repeated decreases and repeated increases is that I personally believe that the problem is that the policy is formulated!"

Everyone doesn’t understand much about what the right to formulate policies is, which is the freshest idea today.

"I think this is ridiculous in itself by letting the education department reduce the burden on students, the agricultural department reduce the burden on farmers, and the tax collectors reduce the burden on tax payers! For their own considerations, these departments naturally have the urge to expand their own interests. Letting them formulate policies to reduce burdens is tantamount to letting wolves formulate measures that only eat vegetarian food but not sheep, which cannot stand the test at all..."

"I object!" Before Zeng Yi finished speaking, someone immediately expressed his objection, interrupted Zeng Yi's words, and said: "I think your statement is absurd. What kind of wolf eats sheep is simply nonsense, absurd!"

Zeng Yi glanced at him and the student who spoke out against him was the deputy director of a city tax bureau.

Many people also agreed. Although their words were not so intense, they also thought that Zeng Yi's words were too ridiculous. Our management and law enforcement departments serve the people. Can they be a wolf? This metaphor is so vicious, and the intention is so sinister!

Seeing the voices of opposition so intense, Zeng Yi became more determined to say that wolves naturally have the urge to eat meat. This is nature, and it is not subject to anyone's will. If you ask the wolf to formulate measures to not eat sheep, how can you expect the wolf to abide by this regulation? This cannot stand the test at all.

When we were discussing just now, these people were still saying that reducing the burden requires the cooperation of various departments, but their own metaphor makes them feel that their interests may be damaged. They will immediately launch a counterattack without waiting for them to finish their words. This is also an instinct and nature. People stand differently from different perspectives, and the results of considering problems are different. For example, the tax department collects taxes and has tax tasks. The leader wants to do more results, so he naturally has the urge to over-collect. At this time, you ask it to find a way to reduce taxes. Isn’t this a trick to get a tiger!

That's why all kinds of strange phenomena appear. The Ministry of Finance calls for tax cuts every day, and the fiscal revenues continue to rise every year. The Ministry of Education has been reducing the burden on students for twenty years. After each burden reduction, as long as another policy is issued, such as insisting on considering the admission rate and strictly assessing the quality of teaching, schools and parents will take the initiative to surrender.

No one wants to give up the interests and power in his hands. This is nature, so don’t expect the wolf to quit eating meat.

The comrade in the class monitor had a little demeanor. When everyone's discussion was a little calmer, he asked: "Student Zeng Yi, who do you think should formulate a policy to reduce the burden?"

"Of course it's the legislative department. We have some people in the world. Why do we have to let the law enforcement departments legislate on their own?" Zeng Yi asked back and said: "The law enforcement departments formulate their own policies. What they consider most is their own interests. This is almost certain. When formulating burden reduction measures, these departments will not even consult the opinions of the burden reduction recipients. In this way, how can we expect them to truly reduce the burden! The more they reduce the burden, the heavier it is, as expected."

Zeng Yi’s meaning is very clear. Law enforcement departments are in charge of enforcement. If you ask law enforcement departments to legislate, this is a substitute. They can take measures to reduce burdens today and measures to increase burdens tomorrow. This is the fundamental reason why the burdens cannot be reduced.

It is unrealistic to not allow wolves to eat sheep, but the rules cannot be determined by wolves. If wolves decide the rules, it means to indulge wolves to eat sheep. This rule should be determined by the rancher. Not only should there be rules, but also hunting rifles, which are specially used to deal with those unruly wolves, so that they can restrain the impulses of all parties and achieve long-term steady development.

To be fair, Zeng Yi’s statement is very pertinent and is completely from a neutral perspective. However, his statement is not accepted by everyone.

"It is undeniable that Zeng Yi has a lot of ideas, but it's a bit too much! Reducing the burden is a comprehensive project, and it relies on everyone's unity and morality and joint management, rather than making the right to make."

"Yes, as a specific business department, they should be the one who is most familiar with the business. Only by formulating burden-reducing measures can they prescribe the right medicine."

"No matter what kind of policy is, these business departments need to implement it in the end. The intermediate links are too complex and heavy, and I don't think it will be conducive to reducing the burden!"

Zeng Yi's speech caused the nature of the classroom discussion to change immediately. It was originally a discussion to reduce the burden, but now the finger was all directed at Zeng Yi, refuting Zeng Yi's views. Even the class monitor with good temperament also made a tactful statement and pointed out the fallacy of Zeng Yi's ideas.

Only a few members of the 312 dormitory were all lowered their heads at this time and did not attack Zeng Yi anymore. They were secretly worried about Zeng Yi. He was still a little tender.

Faced with everyone's questioning, Zeng Yi did not have the interest of talking to the scholars. After saying his words, he sat back on the chair and let others say anything. He just listened calmly and did not argue, which made the other people's questioning louder.

The classroom was full of arguments, and everyone focused on the debate. They didn't notice the door behind the classroom at all. They didn't know when a crack was opened.

There were seven or eight people standing outside the door, and they had been there for more than ten minutes. If you saw it, you would be shocked. Because the one who stood closest to the back door was Comrade Yan Xudong, the principal of the Central Party School. Behind him were the executive vice president of the Party School, the director of the Education Department, the director of the Academic Affairs Department, and the senior leaders of the school, almost all of them were here.

Yan Xudong gently closed the back door of the classroom and said, "This training department is well organized, and the students' quality is also very high. I hope to continue!"

This affirmation made all the leaders of the school breathe a sigh of relief.

Executive Vice President Gan Xiaohua looked at Zeng Yi again through the glass on the door, thinking that this young man was lucky. Comrade Yan Xudong just praised the students for their high quality, but in fact he specifically pointed to this young man.

Others don’t know it, but Gan Xiaohua knows it. Comrade Yan Xudong is a leader who emphasizes the rule of law and what he usually attaches most importance to is the legislative work. Although this young man’s speech just now was talking about reducing the burden, he actually talked about Comrade Yan Xudong’s heart. His luck is really good.

Li Zhaoxiong, deputy director of the General Office of the CPC Central Committee, approached his body and whispered a few words in Yan Xudong's ear.

Yan Xudong's gaze shot towards the classroom again, and just glanced lightly, and the expression on his face did not change at all. Then he said, "Let's go and see what other classes are doing!" After that, Yan Xudong stepped forward.

Gan Xiaohua was shocked. From the angle he stood, he could see the scene just now clearly. Comrade Yan Xudong was not someone else in the end, but the young man. Comrade Yan Xudong came to an amazing conclusion. Comrade Yan Xudong seemed to know that young man!

What is this situation!

A five thousand-word chapter is given, but today's chapter is difficult to write, so I've been driven out until now!

I went to bed quickly. I still have to work tomorrow. I can’t afford to be injured, I can’t afford to be injured!
Chapter completed!
