Chapter 1144 The new prefect of Songjiang Prefecture
Now Chen Lifu took advantage of the fact that the superiors had not decided on the candidate for the governor of Songjiang Prefecture, and brought up the Shanghai Terminal Company incident.
From different angles, this matter can be big or small. You can say it is big. In fact, it is just a matter in a government-run enterprise. Only twenty or thirty people have been arrested, and so far, one by one
There is no way to convict him.
But if you call it small, it is also big. It directly attracted the attention of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises and even the entire cabinet, and then promoted a new legislative process.
All in all, this was an event of small scale, but with great impact. Chen Lifu relied on this event to once again have his name appear in many documents, and even reached the ears of the Holy Emperor.
When Chen Lifu chose to take action against the Shanghai Terminal Company, it was not without considering the causes and consequences. If he didn't have such a big influence, Chen Lifu would really be too lazy to do it.
It's just that the matter has been settled, and he has the influence he wanted. To be honest, he doesn't care much about how to deal with the follow-up, and it doesn't even have anything to do with him. What he cares about now is the aftermath.
Once this is done, you can't leave a mess, otherwise a good thing will turn into a bad thing. You have to clean up the mess, so that the bosses will think that you can do things well, otherwise, others will treat you.
If you treat it as just a few random tricks, it will always bring a lot of trouble to your boss.
Especially when the new Songjiang Prefecture Magistrate is about to take office, Chen Lifu wants to deal with the aftermath as soon as possible. He wants the Songjiang Prefecture Magistrate to see a brand new and intact Shanghai Terminal Company after he takes office, rather than an old and new Shanghai Terminal Company.
Now, the management of Shanghai Terminal Company has been almost wiped out and the operation of the entire company has almost come to a standstill.
In order to deal with the aftermath as soon as possible, Chen Lifu did not even have time to deal with many other affairs of Songjiang Mansion. After simply getting acquainted with it, he once again focused all his energy on the Shanghai Terminal Company.
This time, he personally took charge of cooperating with the new management assigned by the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises and the Ministry of Personnel to handle the aftermath of Shanghai Terminal Company. The only focus was to restore the operation of the entire Shanghai Terminal Company as soon as possible, and at the same time recover some of the past.
Loss, such as some contracts that obviously harm the interests of Shanghai Terminal Company, must be canceled through various methods.
Of course, the contract can only be terminated through legal and reasonable means, such as litigation or other commercial means. Direct breach of contract is definitely impossible. In that case, Shanghai Terminal Company will have to pay liquidated damages, which is a large amount of liquidated damages.
If we directly accompany him, the assets of the entire Shanghai Terminal Company will not be enough to compensate.
In order to solve the problem as soon as possible, Chen Lifu even moved directly into the headquarters of Shanghai Terminal Company. Although strictly speaking, he did not have the authority to directly intervene in the government-run company, but Shanghai Terminal Company is a local government-run enterprise, and the management rights are vested in the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises.
Although the company owns equity locally, the Songjiang Prefectural Prefecture’s Yamen Finance Bureau and the Shanghai Special County Finance Bureau collectively own 100% of the company’s equity.
Therefore, the government is not managed in any other capacity, but directly in the capacity of shareholders.
Chen Lifu is so anxious because he has already received news that the candidates for Songjiang Prefecture Magistrate and Shanghai Special County Magistrate have all arrived in Jinling to face the Holy Emperor, and the Holy Emperor will have inspected these people.
Finally, make the final decision.
It is even possible that the Holy Emperor has already made the final decision.
Just because of the delay in news communication, the news of this appointment has not yet reached Shanghai.
In other words, in as short as three to five days or as long as ten days, the new Songjiang Prefecture magistrate will arrive. At that time, after the new prefect takes office, he, a fellow magistrate of Songjiang Prefecture, will have to stand at the back.
.
At the local level, if a deputy and a top leader try to steal the limelight, it is definitely an act of seeking death, and no top local leader can tolerate a deputy challenging his or her authority.
At the same time, there are many key points. In order to maintain the smooth flow of government orders, the superiors sometimes deliberately maintain the authority of county magistrates, prefects, or top leaders of other departments.
Otherwise, if there is too much local struggle, the decree will not be passed smoothly.
After all, the Tang Empire is still a feudal empire, and the backwardness of communication means that it is actually very difficult to govern local areas. Strengthening the authority of county magistrates and prefects actually means strengthening the authority of the central government.
authority.
Because generally speaking, the transfer of people like county magistrates and prefects is personally arranged by the officials, and represents the will of the central government.
Under such a general environment, even Chen Lifu has to restrain himself. Otherwise, even if Chen Lifu has a great reputation, if the newly appointed Songjiang Prefecture governor does not like him and suppresses him, Chen Lifu will be very angry.
Uncomfortable.
Not to mention anything else, just the adjustments at work, such as deliberately assigning some difficult and chores to Chen Lifu, are enough for Chen Lifu to drink a pot. It is even possible that during the entire term of Songjiang Prefecture Tongzhi,
Became inactive.
He doesn't want this!
He is here to gild, not to make soy sauce!
As for gold plating, you must achieve results before it can be considered gold plating!
In order to settle the Shanghai Terminal Company matter before the new governor of Songjiang Prefecture took office, Chen Lifu moved directly into the headquarters of the Shanghai Terminal Company to urge the advancement of various affairs and get things done as soon as possible without leaving any mess for the new governor.
A good impression of the Songjiang Prefecture magistrate.
But even if Chen Lifu did this, the name of a person is like the shadow of a tree. This Chen Lifu has such a big name, and he just came to Songjiang Prefecture and did something like Shanghai Terminal Company, which seems to be a small matter, but his influence is not
Little things.
Facing such a person, no matter who becomes his boss, I'm afraid he will have a headache.
Now, Xiang Hanyi, the new governor of Songjiang Prefecture, feels a little headache about this Chen Lifu!
Xiang Hanyi just received the appointment letter this morning. In other words, he just became the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture today. He is the only third-grade prefect in the entire empire. However, although he just received the appointment, his influence on Songjiang Prefecture is still unknown.
The situation is not unfamiliar. This is not only because he was a fellow magistrate of Songjiang Prefecture before the reform in his early years, but also because as one of the candidates for Songjiang Prefecture magistrate, he has been collecting and investigating Songjiang Prefecture in the past half month.
information and formulate their own policy plans accordingly.
Why, because the Holy Emperor wants to listen!
Otherwise, why did the Holy Emperor want to meet these candidates for Songjiang Prefecture governor in person? In fact, it was because he wanted to hear their policy plans in person.
After all, these candidates basically meet the requirements in terms of qualifications, experience, abilities, etc., and there is not much difference between them. In this case, it is important to distinguish who is more suitable to serve as the governor of Songjiang Prefecture.
Apart from personal assessment, there is no other good way to assess your position.
Xiang Hanyi is the winner among these candidates!
The series of Songjiang government policies he proposed to Emperor Sheng were neither extreme nor conservative, and there was nothing surprising about them. When Xiang Hanyi reported to Emperor Sheng, the core of the policies he described was actually
It is very simple, that is, with manufacturing as the core and trade as the basis, we will continue to promote the industrial and commercial development of Songjiang Prefecture, especially the Shanghai area.
This policy is actually the policy adopted by the target Songjiang Prefecture.
In other words, Xiang Hanyi's policy policy is to continue the old policy formation.
Of course, there are also some secondary things, such as strengthening officialdom, combating corruption, etc., but these are not important. There used to be a lot of corrupt officials in Songjiang Prefecture, and the economy was still developing very well.
Several other candidates, perhaps in order to highlight their abilities, have come up with various policies. Some people say that they will promote industrial development within the entire Songjiang Prefecture, with the Shanghai Industrial Zone as the core, and also in the surrounding areas.
Establish new large-scale industrial zones and the like to build the entire Songjiang Prefecture into a huge industrial manufacturing base.
This kind of policy for industrial development sounds very good, but the investment required for this kind of industrial expansion is not a small amount. If you don't spend millions of taels of silver, you can't even make a few ventures.
The local finances definitely don’t have such a large amount of money, and the central finances will have to provide the money at that time!
But does the central government have money? Yes, will it be given? No!
The empire's fiscal revenue is large, but its expenses are also large. There are many places that need to spend money throughout the country, and many poor areas need a large amount of support funds every year. Under such circumstances, Songjiang Prefecture is still
Do you want money from the central government to be used for development? That’s a good idea!
The central finance department also hopes that the local finance department of Songjiang Prefecture can support the development of other regions, such as Jiangbei Province!
Nowadays, the situation in Jiangbei is not very good. Although there is still Yangzhou, Yangzhou, to put it bluntly, is maintained by salt dealers. Since the empire nationalized the salt industry, the salt dealers have either changed their profession or been killed for smuggling salt.
, in short, there are no serious salt merchants in the empire at present.
Without the consumer market provided by salt merchants, Yangzhou's traditional economy would be doomed. Yangzhou is like this, especially Huai'an and other Jiangbei regions. They also rely on the salt industry and water transportation. Now that the salt industry is gone, water transportation is also gone.
No more, leaving only one Grand Canal. Although this Grand Canal still has many merchant ships passing by, it cannot be compared with water transportation.
Under many circumstances, it has become a reality that the economy of the entire Jiangbei Province is difficult to develop.
Although they have actively started to develop industry and commerce in recent years, the results are still not great. Last year, under the leadership of the central government, they began to guide businessmen to set up textile factories in Tongzhou and cooperate with the textile industry in Shanghai nearby. This is considered a success.
