Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 595 Cake

After the joke, Qi Tongwei suggested, "The public security system is now in your hands. Do you want to keep your daughter? I can see that she can't bear to leave you."

Sha Ruijin looked at his daughter, and Sha Xiaoqian happened to look at him. They both smiled and said, "Let's forget it. The situation has only gotten worse. I hope you can take care of her for me and try not to come to see me."

Qi Tongwei threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out. "What's going on?"

Sha Ruijin said: "I touched their cake."

The matter is related to his recent actions. During his investigation, he found that the economic indicators reported by various parts of Tianzhou were quite inflated.

They report more about what is beneficial and less about what will affect their careers, which results in the municipal party committee and government being unable to understand the real situation in various places.

For example, teachers have a serious problem of wage arrears. There are also laid-off workers. The report shows only a little over 200,000, but the actual number has exceeded 300,000, which is as high as 50% inflated.

Other reports were even more so, almost telling him that everything was going well and peaceful now, so the mayor could rest assured.

What he wants to do now is to squeeze out the water, which means completely tearing off the fig leaf of this group of people and standing against everyone. He must guard against someone who will do something desperate.

Qi Tongwei also talked about his own situation, "Actually, my situation is similar. The rotation system has caused a lot of trouble. Compared with yours, which is squeezing out water, I think my situation is not easy either."

Sha Ruijin disagreed. "I've studied your rotation system. It only temporarily deprives people of their rights. Oh, or rather, their positions. To some extent, their power isn't deprived. At least they can still be transferred. In other words, their rights and interests haven't been greatly harmed."

Moreover, you cleverly exempted all the top leaders of the party and government from the rotation system and tied them to your chariot, which made them lose their leader and unable to form an effective confrontation.

Of course, the most important point is that you control the entire municipal party committee and have the entire municipal party committee team backing you up. No matter how many people there are below you, they can't cause any trouble. Under such circumstances, they have no choice but to submit."

Qi Tongwei nodded, admitting that the other party's analysis made sense.

The Municipal Party Committee, Municipal Government, Discipline Inspection Commission, and Public Security Bureau have all been taken down by Qi Tongwei. Anyone who dares to defect would be better off just to endure two years of "hard times."

Sha Ruijin said, "You've secured another 5 billion yuan investment this time, and the province will probably support you. I think as long as you don't do anything drastic and push them too far, no one will dare to say anything."

Qi Tongwei said: "You guessed it right, I will make a big move next.

Institutions across the country are bloated, with too many people living off the government payroll. Ordinary people can't afford it, especially some government offices, which I even feel are unnecessary. I plan to merge those that need to be merged and abolish those that need to be abolished."

Sha Ruijin was stunned. This was somewhat beyond his expectations. Compared to squeezing out water, this was equivalent to directly shaking the foundation.

"Tongwei, shouldn't you think about this carefully?" Sha Ruijin asked worriedly.

Qi Tongwei waved his hand. "What's there to consider? I don't think there's any need to consider it. I've already thought it through clearly.

There are too many people who are just sitting there doing nothing, and those who should be promoted are not being promoted. If Beishan City wants to be reborn, these people are the biggest obstacle.

You don't know, I just made some money a while ago, and the city treasury had some money, and that group of people dared to come and ask for it, asking for tens of millions as the starting price. They really dared to ask."

Sha Ruijin asked, "Did you give it?"

"Of course not. I don't know the hidden agenda of that group of people. A small portion was used to whitewash the situation, and the majority went into their own pockets. I blocked it all. So, the more these people there are, the heavier the burden will be on our government and the people. A moderate reduction will be beneficial to the normal functioning of society."

Sha Ruijin, however, looked worried. "Tongwei, this is not something that can be done easily."

In Tianzhou, he fought against everyone, but in the end he only dismissed a few cadres, made a name for himself, and established his own prestige before stopping. It is too crazy for someone like Qi Tongwei to do this.

Qi Tongwei said calmly: "The more complicated it is, the greater the reward will be."

Sha Ruijin said: "I think if we are not careful, we may be doomed."

"I don't think it's that serious." Qi Tongwei smiled faintly.

Sha Ruijin gave an example: "Look at the higher-ups, they always say they want to streamline the organization.

But in reality, there are more and more departments, and more and more people are relying on government subsidies. Do you know why? "

Qi Tongwei glanced at Sha Ruijin and did not reply, but waited for the other party to continue speaking.

Perhaps thinking Qi Tongwei didn't understand, Sha Ruijin spoke more bluntly.

“Because this gets to the very nature of power.

Power is a pyramid structure formed from the bottom up. Without the support from below, the top will become a castle in the air.

So they have to offer benefits to gain support and power.

You can compare it to making a cake and dividing the cake. Even anything in this world can be understood as making a cake and dividing the cake.

From countries to individuals, everyone is constantly making and dividing cakes, without exception.

The reason why the Qin Dynasty was so powerful and able to unify the six kingdoms was because it made a very good cake, the military merit system. This cake was not only well-made, but also well-divided, so everyone worked hard for it.

There are many different opinions about the reasons for his demise. Some say it was because of heavy corvee labor and harsh laws, while others say it was because of the exploitation of the lower classes and the rebellion of the people.

But I don’t think so, because these problems also occurred in the Qing Dynasty, but the Qing Dynasty did not fall apart. Instead, it maintained its regime for hundreds of years.

I think the core reason is the internal distribution problem.

The First Emperor's departure was too hasty. The sudden disappearance of this figure who had distributed the pie fairly threw the previously stable and orderly situation into disarray.

Next, his sons and court ministers began to act independently and do their own thing.

All everyone thinks about is how to get a bigger and more tempting piece of this huge profit pie, without considering the overall situation and the interests of others.

As a result, serious internal divisions inevitably arose, with various forces fighting and oppressing each other, and the entire court and even the country fell into chaos.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang found an opportunity and rose up in rebellion. Their slogan of rebellion is well known: Are kings, princes, generals and ministers of different races?

The meaning of this slogan is also to make a piece of cake, but this cake is for ordinary people.

The cake was actually quite good, but he made a mistake when dividing it. He was eager to become king and took the most delicious piece, which ultimately backfired and led to the failure of the uprising.
