Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 791 Balance of payments

In fact, the biggest threat to the grain system is not the senior cadres mentioned above, but the cadres at the grain stations in various counties and townships. The greatest difficulty of this work also lies here.

The widespread corruption at the grassroots level must be eradicated.”

In the first part of Qi Tongwei's speech, he sounded as vulgar as a gangster, but when he got to the latter part, he finally showed his edge. He wanted to thoroughly clean up the grassroots corruption in the grain stations and grain bureaus in all counties and townships. This was his goal, and such political achievements were worthy of him.

Only the food systems in counties and townships are the flies that truly harm the interests of grassroots farmers.

"Within three days, a document on fighting corruption was issued, with a particular focus on how to put pressure on the provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and mobilize their power to thoroughly clean up corruption in the grain system."

Qi Tongwei himself knows clearly that the last sentence is just empty talk, because human beings have been corrupt for thousands of years, how can it be possible to eliminate it completely? But every bit counts, even if it is just to bring ten years of integrity to the food system and rely on the deterrent power of the supervision system to maintain the overall domestic food security as much as possible, then what Qi Tongwei did is not empty talk.

"On the table are the complaint letters I received from the grain system. Please sort out the complaint letters from the Petition Bureau and sort out the clues as soon as possible. This will be a very heavy task."

As he spoke, Qi Tongwei walked to the conference table and reached out to take back a letter of complaint from the middle.

"This one is not it, take a look at those ones."

Qi Tongwei took the letter of accusation in his own hands, crossed his hands behind his buttocks, and deliberately let others see it.

However, the two heads of the supervision office present at the scene clearly saw the letter of complaint in Qi Tongwei's hand, which was a report against the Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Qi Tongwei casually handed the letter of complaint to Lu Qiang, who put it in his bag, but the letter attracted the attention of two senior officials from the Supervision Office.

Qi Tongwei naturally discovered this, as this was exactly his purpose. There was a traitor in the Second Supervisory Office, but Qi Tongwei planned to be a little more tactful in dealing with the cadres in the department under his charge, and then make a big fanfare to investigate the traitors in other departments.

The director of the Second Supervisory Office is Hu Haiou, who is a bit old, almost 60 years old. Among deputy ministerial-level cadres, he is already very old. The best outcome for him next year will be either internal retirement or retreating to the second line in the CPPCC or the NPC.

Qi Tongwei planned to let him apply for early retirement and make way for a young cadre of his choice, but he couldn't do things so roughly, so he staged this drama.

The director of the Third Supervisory Office is Li Hainiao, who is relatively young, only in his early fifties, and was promoted from the secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection of a certain province.

"You two are both veterans in the discipline inspection department. I believe that I don't need to interfere too much in the specific business, and we don't need to be so polite. I am a newcomer and an outsider. In the past, I either worked in public security or in the economy.

I still need the two of you to give me some guidance.

Don't treat me as a leader. We just have different divisions of labor. You are responsible for frontline operations, and I am responsible for communicating with the leadership. Let's work together to get the job done."

When Qi Tongwei said this, his face was full of sincerity, but no one would really think so. Qi Tongwei was still very famous, and his subordinates had already studied his resume and analyzed his personality.

"Deputy Secretary Qi, you are too polite. We all work under your leadership..."

Qi Tongwei stopped him halfway through his words.

“This is totally wrong. We all work under the leadership of the Party, so don’t engage in individualism.

Don’t say this outside. If other people hear it, all of us in the Supervision Office will have to go back to the Party School for training.

Three days to get the document ready. I'll take it to my boss for review."

After saying that, Qi Tongwei stood up and left with a smile. The two heads of the inspection office looked at each other.

"This new young leader is really not easy to deal with.

Director Hu, you have seen the letter.

This is the warning letter from the new secretary. Don’t forget that the Eighth Supervisory Office is responsible for internal supervision, and the new secretary is also in charge of the internal agency’s disciplinary committee.”

After saying that, Li Hainiao stood up and left, leaving Hu Haiou with an uncertain look on his face.

In fact, Li Hainiao came directly to Qi Tongwei's office. He wanted to settle accounts with Qi Tongwei, literally.

"Deputy Secretary Qi, this is the financial form of our Third Supervision Office. In the fourth quarter of last year alone, we lost money on our cases."

Have you ever thought that the Commission for Discipline Inspection also considers whether to make money or lose money when handling cases? The reason is very simple. The Commission for Discipline Inspection also needs funds to handle cases, and a lot of their funding comes from investigating and punishing the assets of corrupt officials.

For example, to place a cadre under double supervision, it will take a certain number of days to rent a hotel, and it will take a certain number of days to draw guards from the public security system. All these expenses are paid by the Discipline Inspection Commission. If we calculate them in more detail, they can be divided into several major categories.

1. Human resource costs

The professional training and salaries of discipline inspection cadres and the organizational and coordination costs of the case-handling team include accommodation and meals. If you work overtime, you may need a barbecue for a midnight snack.

When it comes to cross-departmental collaboration, the most common departments are the audit department and the public security department. It costs money to recruit cadres from other departments. Even if you don't have to pay their salaries, you still have to pay for their food and lodging, as well as bonuses afterwards.

II. Technical Means and Investigation Tools

The construction of some information platforms, and the development and maintenance costs of technical investigation means.

The cost of seeking assistance from audit and public security professionals in financial audits, trace identification, etc.

3. Process costs of handling cases

Daily expenses such as travel, evidence collection, interviews, etc., the cost of using the disciplinary inspection and supervision site mentioned above, and food and medical insurance expenses.

At this time, Li Hainiao reported that the property of corrupt officials investigated in the fourth quarter of last year, even after being auctioned, was not enough to cover the expenses of the Third Supervisory Office in the fourth quarter.

"How can you spend so much money?"

Li Hainiao was naturally helpless. The Discipline Inspection Commission was naturally different from the public security system. The public security system had the responsibility to safeguard local public security and was a government department. The government budget had reserved funds for the public security system, regardless of the level of government.

However, the Discipline Inspection Commission department belongs to the Party Committee, which sounds very powerful. However, according to the formula of Tian Fengyi, the Party Secretary of the Hanjiang Province Writers Association, the Discipline Inspection Commission is greatly restricted in its financial power, and in fact the power of the position is not that great.

"Deputy Secretary Qi, this is an account that cannot be calculated. The fixed expenses are just this much.

The last two corrupt officials transferred most of their assets abroad, and what we finally seized was less than 100 million yuan.”

Qi Tongwei knew clearly that each department had its own ecosystem. Besides, even if they lost money, would corrupt officials not be arrested? That was impossible.
