The 486th chapter urban management and traders (1)
Yuan Zili returned to Xilin City.
Various construction projects are still in full swing. Studying at the Central Party School has been of great help to Yuan Zili. What impressed him most was the study of people's livelihood issues. People's livelihood can be divided into broad and narrow meanings, and now it refers to both.
People's livelihood issues in a narrow sense mainly start from the social level, referring to the people's basic survival and living conditions, as well as people's basic development opportunities, basic development capabilities and basic rights and interests protection status, etc. People's livelihood issues include presentations from low to high.
There are three levels of progressive state. The first level mainly refers to the bottom line of people’s basic livelihood status. In the final analysis, the government must ensure that every member of society survives with dignity. The specific content includes social relief, minimum living security, and basic
Basic social security, compulsory education, basic public health, basic housing security, etc.; the second level mainly refers to the people’s basic development opportunities and development capabilities. People must not only survive with dignity, but also have
ability to survive, people's livelihood issues mainly focus on the people's basic sources of livelihood, and consider the issue that every member of society must have the ability and opportunity to survive, that is: after a society meets the basic survival issues of social members, it should consider the basic needs of social members.
development capabilities and development opportunities, in order to provide the people with a minimum development platform and development prospects. The specific contents include: promoting full employment, conducting basic vocational training, eliminating discrimination, providing fair and reasonable channels for social mobility, and related
Relevant basic rights and interests protection issues, such as labor rights, property rights, rights to participate in social affairs, etc.; the third level mainly refers to the social welfare status above the basic survival line of the people. People's livelihood issues mainly focus on the people's basic quality of life issues, that is,
: After a society has solved the basic survival and basic development opportunities and basic development capabilities of the people, as the level of economic development and public financial resources have greatly improved, and as the modern system has been fully established, further issues that need to be considered should be for all
Social members provide benefits that can comprehensively improve the quality of life, mainly including: people should enjoy higher-level social benefits, for example, students in public colleges and universities in the future should receive free education; housing provident funds should be universalized to every worker;
The rights of members of society should be fully protected, etc. The third level of people's livelihood issues is a higher level of people's livelihood issues. The current Chinese government is not yet capable of comprehensively solving this issue. When the party school professor talked about this
, proposed that people’s livelihood issues at this level should be included as an important goal in the future in the medium- and long-term goal system for improving people’s livelihood.
Yuan Zili thought of the actual situation in Xilin City.
Nowadays, the three major problems that bother people the most are: First, the housing problem. The soaring housing prices have turned most cadres and workers into house slaves. Young people who have just started working will find it difficult to live in the city center of Xilin City in terms of income.
When buying a house, cadres and workers who already own a house rely on the housing reform policy and the many preferential treatment provided by the government, but they cannot worry about it. As their children grow up, they will not be able to enjoy such good policies, so they can only live frugally.
Helping children buy houses, housing has become the biggest burden for ordinary families; secondly, there is the issue of medical expenses. Not to mention ordinary people, but also government officials. If unfortunately they encounter a serious illness, the whole family will be unlucky, and medical expenses can easily cost tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands.
The cost will make the family fall back into poverty; the third is investment in education. Xilin City is a big city, and the idea of hoping for a successful child can be found everywhere. Investment in children is like a bottomless pit, and various training courses allow parents to
Both parents and students are tired of coping and have no choice. Investment in these aspects consumes most of the family's income, so solving people's livelihood problems is not a trivial matter.
It's almost the end of the year, and all work is extremely busy. Yuan Zili is once again not satisfied with sitting in the office and listening to reports. He wants to go down and see the actual situation. However, in that kind of scene where everyone is shouting and swarming, Yuan Zili
He was very disgusted and could not understand the actual situation, and the opinions from the people were not very good. It was not possible during working hours, so Yuan Zili chose to go down to see the specific situation during weekends.
Having only been away for two months, Yuan Zili has an extraordinary affinity for Xilin City. This is the place where he has invested a lot of effort. Of course, he thinks that Xilin City can be built well and become a veritable metropolis. Although
This requirement seems a bit too high.
"Secretary Yuan, it is against the rules for you to come down incognito for a private visit like this."
"Old Ma, if you follow the rules, I should stay at home now and not go anywhere. I just want to see what's going on down there. Besides, no one can recognize this car."
"I know, Ah Hua and Ah Yong, when Secretary Yuan gets off the bus, you must follow closely. You can't miss anything. You know, there can't be any negligence."
It was still early, and there were not many people on the street. It was probably rest time, and many people were unwilling to get up early. Lao Ma had already driven the car onto the main road. Yuan Zili was very pleased to see that after more than half a year of construction,
The appearance of the city has undergone some changes. The colorful floral decorations on both sides of the highway, the green grass in the middle of the highway, the clean and tidy streets, and the clear and bright road signs that can be seen at any time, all of which gave Yuan Zili a sense of accomplishment.
After the car drove for a while, it slowly entered the residential area. Yuan Zili ordered Lao Ma to stop. He wanted to go down and take a look. Lao Ma had no choice but to stop. Ahua and Ayong immediately followed him and got out of the car, one on the left and the other on the left.
Following Yuan Zili on the right, Lao Ma found a parking space at a fork in the road, parked the car, and quickly got out of the car.
It was still early and there were not many people on the street. Yuan Zili walked slowly and looked at everything around him.
Gradually, Yuan Zili's face changed, and the scene he saw was no longer so harmonious and beautiful: an old man in very shabby clothes collecting scraps, riding a rusty tricycle, was moving forward slowly, mouthing hard
Shouting the words of waste collection, many residents came out to take out the garbage early in the morning, and some people took out useless newspapers, waste paper, beverage bottles, etc. from home. Yuan Zili saw the old man collecting waste stopped.
With a humble smile on his face, he whispered something, slowly weighed the waste paper, waste newspapers and empty beverage bottles, and put them into the tricycle. He walked slowly for a while, and passed some more, some pushing the boards.
The middle-aged people on the carts, including many middle-aged women, were selling fruits in their carts, including apples, pears, etc. These vendors looked very panicked and kept looking around. There were some picky things next to them.
There was a woman from the countryside carrying a dustpan, and she put some fresh vegetables in the dustpan. Yuan Zili also saw some old people carrying burdens and selling small items.
"Secretary Yuan, these vendors are the focus of rectification now. To create an international metropolis, these mobile vendors have an impact on the city's appearance. Therefore, the plan proposed by the Urban Construction Committee prohibits these vendors from operating in the city.
A hawker."
Yuan Zili nodded. He had the impression that when the Urban Construction Committee reported, it mentioned the difficulty of urban construction law enforcement. Small traders and hawkers exist everywhere and cannot be eliminated. The personnel of the Urban Construction Law Enforcement Brigade have a very difficult job. To the end,
It's nothing more than asking for more funding and more personnel.
"If I remember correctly, most of the mobile vendors are laid-off workers in the city, or residents without a fixed source of income, as well as some nearby farmers who have come to work in the city and farmers who grow vegetables nearby. What about the city's management needs? I won't go there for the time being.
Discussion, but how these people are arranged, it seems that I did not hear the report."
"Secretary Yuan, under the current situation, these people cannot be accommodated."
Yuan Zili knew that Tian Lei was telling the truth. It was indeed impossible to resettle these people. The city's capabilities were limited, and there must be some people living at the bottom. For example, those migrant workers who entered Xilin City to work were the lowest people in the city.
, this is something that cannot be changed, but Yuan Zili always feels uncomfortable.
"Secretary Yuan, let's go to other places and have a look."
Before Tian Lei finished speaking, Yuan Zili heard the sound of brakes. Many vendors in front panicked, picked up their burdens, gathered dustpans, pushed carts, and fled in all directions. Some citizens who were buying vegetables also shook their heads, as if
He was used to everything in front of him. Yuan Zili turned around and saw two double-cab cars parked on the side of the road. The words "urban management" were spray-painted on the doors of the cars. A group of people wearing urban management uniforms got out of the cars.
, some things were already placed in the rear compartment of the car, and Yuan Zili suddenly saw the rusty tricycle thrown into the trunk, which looked so unexpected.
Yuan Zili closed his eyes helplessly. This is a policy formulated by the government. Who can be blamed? Should he stop the urban management team members from enforcing the law? At this moment, he felt very uncomfortable.
"Secretary Yuan, urban management law enforcement is somewhat difficult. You need to face all aspects of the situation, and sometimes you will suffer some harm. Now the people have great opinions on urban management. Many urban management officials are trembling when they come out. I don't know.
How to enforce the law? In fact, urban management personnel are also people at the bottom. Most of them are recruited. Some people are also migrant workers in the city. I read an article that talked about the psychology of urban management team members and said that they are at the bottom of society.
, generally people with a slightly more noble status will look down on them, so in order to regain their self-esteem, they can only regain their confidence and self-esteem by managing small businessmen and hawkers who are more underground than themselves. Because of this mentality, urban management and law enforcement have always been
Big question.”
"Oh, what you said makes sense, Tian Lei, what do you think of urban management law enforcement?"
"Secretary Yuan, I am very conflicted. From the needs of the city, urban management and law enforcement are necessary. They are another kind of cleaners in the city. Nowadays, Xilin City has too many people and only so much space. Therefore, there are some street-facing
The pavements are quietly encroaching on the sidewalks, and some unlicensed vendors are selling goods, many of which are selling fake and shoddy goods. They have affected the appearance of the city. By building more open-air markets and strengthening management, some problems can be solved, but they cannot be completely solved.
To solve the problem, the land in Xilin City is expensive, and it is unrealistic to build many open-air markets. Besides, these small vendors need to do business among the people coming and going. Therefore, how to manage the market and mobile vendors has become a
The troublesome problem has now become more serious. The rough law enforcement by some urban management officials has caused many extremely bad effects and has become an obstacle to urban civilization. Personally, I sympathize with these small traders.
They live at the bottom of the city, struggling hard to survive. If they were not forced by life, they would not do business on the street and take such great risks. However, I cannot condemn those urban management and law enforcement officers.
They have their own responsibilities. If there is no one to manage the city, all the rules will cease to exist. Secretary Yuan, so far, I have not considered a good way."
"Tian Lei, it seems that you have thought about this issue carefully. When I was studying at the party school, the professor talked about people's livelihood issues and said that the interests of the masses are no small matter. It seems that this simple sentence can be implemented in actual work.
It’s not that simple anymore. Let’s talk about the mobile vendors. I still remember clearly that when I was a child, I salivated when I saw those selling candied haws and marshmallows. I couldn’t help but buy a few bunches. The economy at that time
The speed of development cannot be compared with now, and there are not many mobile traders. The situation is different now. The population is increasing. It has become a trend for farmers to work in cities. There are gradually more laid-off workers. We cannot completely resettle these people.
We need to make a living, and prices are rising so fast. Even dual-income earners with that salary feel it is difficult, let alone these people. In fact, these disadvantaged groups at the bottom have made a great contribution to the development of our city, especially those who are entering.
Farmers who work in cities do all the dirty work, and the remuneration they receive is negligible. How to deal with these problems, I feel, we still need to make a fuss about policy. If we only rely on coercive means to prohibit it, it will not work.
, is also unfair. I often think about the development direction of the city. Is it clean, neat and like a garden, which is the best? I don’t think so. There are many things missing in this.
I say it bluntly, it lacks human touch. The streets, markets, temple fairs, teahouses, vegetable markets, etc. in the city are all indispensable. These places are closely related to the lives of the people and are part of the lives of the people. We
Isn’t this a lack of consideration when making plans?”
"Secretary Yuan, I have vaguely thought of this, but I haven't been able to summarize it like you. You are still far-sighted."
"Okay, Tian Lei, why are you flattering? We should think about this problem carefully. The plan is not static. If something is unreasonable, it must be modified. Please think carefully about this matter and how to solve it. This is it.
It will take two days to come up with opinions, and I will consider convening a standing committee to study this issue."
"What a good thing." Lao Ma followed and finally said something.
