Section 54: Private visits on the cover

Jiao Fengming realized the purpose of Zhao Guodong finding him, his eyes gradually calmed down, and he read the letter carefully, silently thinking about the meaning of Zhao Guodong's words.

The other party put forward some new views in the letter, which was to question the current performance of the people's representatives, believing that the vast majority of NPC deputies became representatives raising their hands and the People's Congress became rubber stamps. He himself intends to be a pioneer in the performance of NPC deputies, hoping to get the support of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal People's Congress.

Why did this letter be written directly to Zhao Guodong instead of to the Secretary of the Kuiyang County Party Committee and Zeng Kefan, the Director of the County People's Congress? This is also intriguing.

According to Jiao Fengming's estimate and understanding, Gong Mingchang's attempts in this regard obviously did not receive support and recognition from Kui Yang, and he may even regard his "strange theories" as a precursor to the county that he might have to launch a "new round of offensive" against the county, so the other party tried to write such a letter to Zhao Guodong under such circumstances.

"Secretary Zhao, do you mean to agree with the other party's views on this aspect?" Jiao Fengming was still a little cautious in his question. After all, these ideas and opinions put forward by such a county people's congress representative who was originally recognized by the county as "with obvious utilitarian and purposeful" were never available before. It can even be said that it was the first time to create a world in Ningling.

If Zhao Guodong agrees with the other party's ideas, it means that some of the other party's ideas and opinions may become reality and put into implementation, but even Jiao Fengming could not predict what changes and impact this would bring.

"Is there anything wrong?" Zhao Guodong frowned the pen in his hand, his brows slightly frowned, and his eyes were a little vague. "The questions raised by the other party are actually some real problems in our current NPC deputies system. What responsibilities should the NPC deputies be elected to perform? Is it just that when the NPC deputies are held every year, they will sit for a day, raise their hands, and through the government work report, they will raise two questions that are not painful or common, even if they are performing their duties?"

Zhao Guodong's question sounded a bit harsh, but Jiao Fengming was speechless. This is a common phenomenon that exists across the country, not unique to Ningling.

"Did they usually fulfill their duties as NPC deputies in addition to their own work? As NPC deputies, does he know the voters in his constituency? Have they mastered the ideas and wishes of the voters, and what have they done for them?" Zhao Guodong continued to raise a series of questions, "Does they do well in their respective industries and are naturally elected as NPC deputies?"

"I think the problems Gong Mingchang responded to in the letter are very sharp, but they are of practical significance. A NPC representative does not depend on how good he is in his job. That is secondary. The key is that he must be able to represent the opinions of this group and bring the most concerned issues of this group to the National People's Congress. He should often understand their life and work, and he should take the initiative to respond, communicate and solve problems for them. This is the basic quality of a NPC representative, rather than those so-called elites. He is either busy with his "important" work and has no time to take into account the "trivial" things that the grassroots people want to reflect, or he has made a fortune because of doing business and starting a business, and he is not in the local area at all. He flies around the country and comes back to gather at the end of the year. He raises his hands and votes. They cannot represent anything."

Zhao Guodong's sharp words were a little shocked in Jiao Fengming's ears. Now that private entrepreneurs are rushing into the National People's Congress and the CPPCC as representatives or even members of the Standing Committee, Zhao Guodong's words undoubtedly feel a little moved against the current, especially when Ningling is actively encouraging the development of private enterprises. Is this kind of remark appropriate?

Seeing Jiao Fengming silent, Zhao Guodong also realized that his words might have some side effects, but Zhao Guodong had long had some ideas about the composition of NPC deputies and CPPCC members.

Is it okay for private entrepreneurs to join the CPPCC? Of course, it is possible, but in Zhao Guodong's view, he should be a representative figure with certain qualities and standards. In all aspects, he should not be a talented person with great quality and standards, rather than a company that makes a big deal, makes more money, and has a good relationship with leaders. Then he must be a NPC deputy, a member of the CPPCC, and even some people who are rich and unkind are involved in it.

Many of the roles that can truly represent the opinions of the masses are regarded as thorny trouble packs by grassroots party committees and governments. In fact, they are often not really ill-behaved, but because the government's actions hurt their interests, they dare to take the initiative to stand up and protect their rights through various means, which damages the government's authority or plays a chain effect, making the government feel difficult to control and push them to the opposite side. For this group, Zhao Guodong has been considering how to position their roles.

"Okay, Fengming, think carefully. After a while, the Renmin University Lao Ma and the others will come. I think we can discuss this new phenomenon. How to say it, I think it is a good thing to be happy about in Ningling. It proves that our people's congress system has gradually been understood by the people, rather than formalism. Some people's concepts of democracy and legal system are increasing day by day. We know that by exercising the power of the people's representatives to participate in politics and reflect public opinion, this can also further urge our government functional departments to administer according to law and perform their duties effectively."

Audi ran lightly on the road, and the atmosphere in the car seemed very relaxed. The fir trees on both sides were as long as the guards were all over the years, and the tree-lined corridor was spectacular.

"Secretary Zhao, are you considered a private visit from a light car? "The old man with silver hair sitting next to Zhao Guodong is Ma Wanfu, deputy director of Ningling Municipal People's Congress, a veteran deputy director. He used to serve as the director of the Municipal Justice Bureau and deputy secretary of the Municipal Political and Legal Committee. His face was rosy and his voice was loud. He blended with a head of silver hair, and he really had a fairy-like look.

"Old Ma, let's go and take a look at the personal charm of this independent county people's congress representative. Gong Mingchang is just a legal worker and has not even obtained the qualification of a lawyer. However, he can run for the county people's congress representative based on his own ability. Hehe, this is really a campaign. It is much more difficult than the traditional method of allocating quotas by constituency, which is a habitual way to recommend places by local authorities. And I am also a object of objection to resisting and disliked by local power agencies. Zhao Guodong's words are meaningful, "Let's take a look and learn about it personally, which will help us to have a real understanding of this phenomenon."

Ma Wanfu and Xie Hong, director of the Municipal People's Congress Research Office sitting in the passenger seat, both had a little troublesome to respond for a while.

Judging from the situation reflected by the Kuiyang County People's Congress, the performance of this representative Gong Mingchang did not seem to be good. He deliberately aroused the opposition between the masses and administrative agencies, took the initiative to undertake some administrative litigation, and strived to gain reputation by winning administrative lawsuits, increasing his popularity, and making profits for himself. However, Zhao Guodong did not comment on feedback from Kuiyang, and finally brought Ma Wanfu and Jie Hong to make this private visit without disturbing either party.

The road from Ningling to Kuiyang is a relatively good second-level road surface to the entire Ningling city to various counties and districts. It is probably because Kuiyang is relatively developed and has a close connection with Ningling city, so this road has been well maintained.

Kuiyang is located in the southwest corner of Ningling City with a population of 720,000. It is adjacent to Tucheng in the north, Pingqiao County in Yongliang City in the west and Baima County in Tangjiang City in the northeast. It is adjacent to Xijiang District in the northeast and Canghua County in the southeast. From Kuiyang to the southwest, there is provincial highway 331 that can directly reach Baima County in Tangjiang City. This provincial highway can directly lead to Luhua, an important town in Annan.

Kuiyang's economy has always been among the best in Ningling City. Before Ningling was revoked and established a city, it was second only to Ningling City and Caoji County. Later, after the revocation of the land and established a city, Hualin County caught up and surpassed Caoji and Kuiyang. Kuiyang also surpassed Caoji with a stable development speed, forming the three largest economy in Xijiang, Hualin and Kuiyang.

Zhao Guodong and his group did not inform Kuiyang in advance when they arrived at Kuiyang. Zhao Guodong did not intend to inform Kuiyang from the beginning and end. He just hoped to observe and understand what kind of person Gong Mingchang belonged to from a relatively objective and fair bystander.

Peng Changgui acted as a pioneer in the path exploration and soon found out where Gong Mingchang's "Legal Consultation Room" was located. This is Gong Mingchang's daily work location, which is a storefront on a remote street where he lives. Usually he receives it here for consultation or entrusting affairs.

Xiaoba Town is the second largest town in Kuiyang County, second only to Chengguan Town, Kuiyang County. Fengshuang went to the market, and Zhao Guodong and the others just happened to catch up with the occasion. The streets were extremely lively. Even Nanzha Street where Gong Mingchang lives was crowded. However, this is in line with the meaning of Zhao Guodong and his group, and the number of people makes it easier for them to understand and observe Gong Mingchang's daily work most intuitively.

What made Zhao Guodong and the others overjoyed was that right next to Gong Mingchang's storefront was a tea hotel with a slanted foot. The tea table was already at the door. You could directly see and hear the operation of the so-called "legal consultation room" next to you by sitting here.
