Chapter 1851 No room left

"Whether it's the municipal party committee or the municipal government, they are all one family. It's their job, so there's no need to worry about it." Xie Zhiguo replied indifferently.

"Logically, this matter is your government's own work adjustment, and the municipal party committee should not interfere too much. But since the province has passed the document to the municipal party committee, and there is the governor's handwritten instructions on it, no matter what, the municipal party committee must inquire about this matter and give the governor a reply, don't you think?" Xie Zhiguo personally refilled Liu Xiaoping's cup of tea.

"This is natural. The municipal government always works under the leadership of the municipal party committee." Liu Xiaoping could only express his opinion.

"What is your municipal government's opinion on the governor's suggestion?" Xie Zhiguo asked.

Xie Zhiguo's question was actually nonsense. How could he not listen to the governor's opinion? Of course, Xie Zhiguo's question was not whether to listen to the governor, but how to listen.

"We will naturally study and deploy the governor's opinions seriously, but the division of labor between deputy mayors for poverty alleviation has never existed before, and it is not common in other places. It is also a new thing. I can't make up my mind about how to arrange it specifically, so I still have to listen to your opinion, Secretary Xie." Liu Xiaoping said politely.

What Liu Xiaoping said is the truth. Generally, municipal governments are configured with one director and six deputy mayors. Of course, the standards vary from place to place, and some prefecture-level cities have seven or eight deputy mayors. However, the division of labor among these deputy mayors is mostly fixed.

Generally speaking, the deputy mayor's division of labor is divided into standing deputy mayors, who are responsible for important departments such as the Development and Reform Commission, the Finance Bureau, and statistics and auditing.

Next are the deputy mayors for agriculture, urban construction, industry, culture, education and health. In addition, there is a deputy mayor who is also the director of the Public Security Bureau, and there is also a deputy mayor for stability maintenance, who is responsible for public security, justice, letters and visits, veterans affairs, and support for the military.

Deputy mayors for poverty alleviation are not common, at least there has never been one in Jiangnan Province. What Liu Xiaoping said about not knowing how to arrange it is also true.

"In fact, the governor's request that we appoint a deputy mayor to be in charge of poverty alleviation work reflects the province's emphasis on our Xiquan poverty alleviation work. This is also the governor's reminder to us to attach great importance to poverty alleviation work and to regard poverty alleviation work as the top priority of the party committee and government. This guiding ideology should serve as the criterion for us to adjust the division of labor this time." Xie Zhiguo said.

Liu Xiaoping nodded. On the surface, this was what Hu Guangxiang meant by this instruction.

"In this case, we should make comprehensive adjustments to the work in charge of several deputy mayors. First, determine the unit in charge of the deputy mayor for poverty alleviation, and then consider the division of labor among other deputy mayors, and sort out the priorities." Xie Zhiguo added.

"Then Secretary Xie, what work do you think the deputy mayor for poverty alleviation should be responsible for and what units should he be in charge of?" Liu Xiaoping continued to ask Xie Zhiguo without saying anything.

"Specific responsibilities and units to be in charge of should still focus on poverty alleviation. Poverty alleviation should be given top priority. This is the political task given to us in Xiquan by the provincial party committee. Therefore, when your municipal government adjusts the division of labor, it should also put poverty alleviation first. This is why the governor made this suggestion." Xie Zhiguo did not put forward any specific opinions.

"The poverty alleviation work requires the cooperation of certain departments, and those units should be placed under the charge of the deputy mayor for poverty alleviation. This should be what the governor meant. Of course, the specific division of labor is still up to your municipal government to study." Xie Zhiguo brought up Hu Guangxiang again.

"I understand what Secretary Xie means. I will study it carefully after I return, and then report it to the Municipal Party Committee for approval." Liu Xiaoping wisely did not specify the division of responsibility plan.

"This is a reply I drafted to the provincial government. Take a look at it. If you have no objection, I will reply to the provincial government accordingly." After Liu Xiaoping finished speaking, Xie Zhiguo took out a signed document from the table and handed it to Liu Xiaoping.

When Liu Xiaoping saw this document, he almost exploded with anger.

Xie Zhiguo's reply to the provincial government stated: After careful study, the municipal party committee believes that it is correct and appropriate for Comrade Qin Feng to be in charge of poverty alleviation. The municipal party committee has asked the Xiquan Municipal Government to carefully study the guidance of the provincial government and readjust the division of labor of government leaders. It is recommended that Comrade Qin Feng be responsible for the city government's poverty alleviation, rural revitalization, agricultural production, tourism development and other work, and be in charge of the Xiquan Municipal Poverty Alleviation Office, the Agricultural and Rural Bureau, the Water Conservancy Bureau, the Cultural and Tourism Bureau and other units.

Xie Zhiguo kept saying that the city government would study the specific arrangements, but Xie Zhiguo had already submitted a list of Qin Feng's responsibilities and units on behalf of the municipal party committee to the provincial government. How should Liu Xiaoping, the mayor, arrange it? Wouldn't he listen to the municipal party committee?

Although the document said it was a suggestion, it had already represented the attitude of the municipal party committee and had been handed over to the town government. What else could Liu Xiaoping do? Openly go against the opinion of the municipal party committee?

Xie Zhiguo's words sounded nice, but they left no room for Liu Xiaoping at all.

What made Liu Xiaoping most angry was that in Xie Zhiguo's document, all the most important units of Xiquan were assigned to Qin Feng for management, such as the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau and the Tourism Bureau.

In other cities, these two bureaus may not be so important, but for Xiquan City today, these two bureaus are lucrative jobs, because they have money, and developing agriculture and tourism is the development strategy of Xiquan City.
