Chu County threw a word into the Standing Committee meeting room, which caused the shock in the hearts of all the Standing Committee members as much as a small nuclear bomb!

There is nothing wrong with increasing wages. Now, due to the integration of pension funds, local governments are introducing corresponding wage increases policies.☆→Although the central government repeatedly ordered to reduce the proportion of local subsidies in wages, not many people actually implemented the local governments. Most of them are still doing their own things and implementing the so-called "local standards".

However, even if the local standards are willful, they will not increase by 500% at once! What does this mean? It means that the income of office workers in Zhongxian will increase from the current average monthly salary of 2,000 to the monthly salary of over 10,000! This is simply a change from a ox cart to a Rocket!

Speaking of this, we have to popularize the salary structure in the system. The salary structure of personnel in China's government agencies and public institutions is quite strange. If we were not in the system, we would probably not understand what was going on when we saw a long list of projects on the salary slip. Even for people in the system, except those accountants who specialize in salary, it would be difficult for others to understand what the individual content came from.

To put it simply, the current salary of public servants in China can be divided into two parts, basic salary and various subsidies.

Basic salary is easy to understand. It means that the country formulates unified standards, and formulates a nationwide unified salary based on different positions and years of work. For teachers, basic salary is related to two factors: one is the years of working, which generally increases once every two years, and the longer you work, the more you earn; the other is the professional title of teachers, such as first-level teachers in middle schools, second-level teachers in middle schools earn more than second-level teachers, middle school special teachers earn more than first-level teachers, etc. This is just a metaphor. In fact, the specific standards are very complicated. Those professional terms of "how many levels and levels" are difficult to understand if they are not specifically responsible for wages.

Speaking of this, someone may ask, since there is a unified national standard, why do localities still need to issue additional subsidies? This requires another feature of basic salary. This feature can be summarized as one word: low!

How low is it? Still taking the teacher as an example. A middle school teacher has been working for twenty years, and his title is a first-level middle school teacher. How much can his basic salary be obtained? Those who don’t understand the system may say: It must be quite a lot, but there must be two or three thousand?

But if you really think so, you're wrong. To be honest, it's less than a thousand yuan!

And those young people who have just started working are even more pitifully low, and their basic salary can only be earned by 6 or 700 yuan. Just measure the current price level and you will know that relying on the basic salary alone will starve people to death!

It is precisely because of this situation that the state allows local governments to reasonably issue subsidies based on their respective regional economic conditions and consumption indexes. Of course, the content of these subsidies is stipulated by the central government's unified document, such as "meal compensation for meals", "travel expenses", etc. The central government's original intention is good, and it wants to make the wage income in various places more reasonable through this method, but in the specific implementation process, another problem arises: unfair distribution.

In fact, absolute fairness never exists. For example, if you ask an office worker working in the capital, an office worker who works in a remote area in the northwest, earns a monthly salary of 2,000 yuan, and an office worker working in the capital will definitely protest. Because of different prices, it may only cost two yuan to eat a bowl of noodles in remote areas, but it costs twenty yuan in the capital, which is ten times the difference! Not to mention the sky-high houses in the capital. So the gap must be allowed to exist within a certain range.

But people are selfish, and the same is true for a local government or an administrative system. Since there is a "flexible" operation space, they are naturally willing to issue more, so in the subsidy area, there is a phenomenon of "make up more for local financial situation, and make up less if not". The most representative example is state-owned enterprises. Articles such as "annual salary of executives is one million yuan" can often be seen on the Internet. Even in the same area and several adjacent counties and districts, there will be serious unbalanced income situations, and some are even one or two times different!

After understanding this concept of flexible wages, it is not difficult to understand that Chu Yang's proposal of "500% increase" is actually completely based. Because of the poor financial situation in recent years, Zhongxian has adjusted several times "discounted" and even did not increase at all. The wage level is at a lower level than that of neighboring counties and districts, not to mention that the gap is even greater than that of urban areas. Therefore, this adjustment is just to increase the part that should have risen before.

However, although this is the case in theory, once it is truly implemented, the problem is more than that.

Tiejiang of the Finance Bureau, Liu Wenhao of the Education Bureau, and He Tianli of the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, sat on the chairs and looked silently at the surprise of these Standing Committee members. Although they are not members of the Standing Committee, they have to know this news first. After all, to raise wages, they have to count the situation of cadres and staff in the county first. To count these, they cannot do without the participation of the three of them.

Although the three of them were silent on the surface, they were also stormy in their hearts. The increase of five times is five times. Looking at the country, no second county dares to do this. If the money really rises, Zhongxian will probably become the highest-paid county in the country!

"Chu County, this... has you ever greeted the city for this matter?" After a while, a member of the Standing Committee asked carefully.

Hearing this question, Chu Yang smiled.

"Say hello to the city? Why do you want to say hello to the city? If I remember correctly, local adjustments only require a case in the city. Director Tiejiang and I asked, when other counties and districts were adjusting, they did not ask the city for instructions? Because they issued the adjustment plan, we just adjusted one step late." Chu Yang asked strangely.

"You adjusted one step late, but others have a choice, and you have adjusted everything according to the highest standards. If you adjust this way, other counties and districts will not be furious." After hearing Chu Yang's words, the other members of the Standing Committee did not say anything, but secretly complained in their hearts.

To be fair, everyone is welcome to raise wages, including county leaders. Who doesn’t want to make more money by themselves? Although it is said that these leaders’ wages are basically unchanged, the real situation is: Even if there are some people who do that, they will not sleep soundly at night when they are not justified. It’s not like salary, which is clean and openly! Now under the eight central bans, the discipline inspection commission’s efforts to handle cases are getting stronger and stronger. In the past, there are fewer and fewer "gray spaces" that can be operated, and the leaders’ lives are getting harder.

But even so, such a large-scale wage increase will trigger a series of "adverse reactions". The biggest point is that it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among other brother counties and districts. Of course, this problem has existed before. The income of these counties and districts under Donglin City is also unbalanced. The income of newly established industrial development zones is relatively high. The other counties and districts have been criticized for a long time. However, even so, this "high" is at a not too "outrageous" range, which is less than twice theirs. Although this is enough to make people feel very unbalanced, it is not exaggerated to that level.

But if you follow Chu Yang's approach and increase five times in one breath, it is not a degree of "dissatisfaction". Is other counties and districts afraid that they will not be in chaos?

But they thought so in their hearts and dared not say so. Everyone knows that the current county magistrate is a very strong leader, and the key is that the county party secretary and him are still standing in the same trench!

So at the current Standing Committee, basically no issues raised by Chu County have been passed.

After hearing Chuxian's words, the members of the Standing Committee did not say anything, but all looked at Li Mingzhe's face, waiting for the top leader to make the final decision.

Seeing this situation, Li Mingzhe coughed and said, "I think Chu County is very reasonable. Originally, the municipality has issued documents for the increase in wages for a long time. We just do things according to the regulations of the documents. What else do we need to ask for instructions? As for what we did not implement before, it was because the county's financial situation was in trouble. Now our financial situation has improved. This kind of development achievement should be shared by the people of the whole county." Li Mingzhe said with a smile.

After he set this tone, it was natural that others couldn't say anything, so they raised their hands to agree.

Before the meeting ended, Chu Yang said a few more words, which made the Standing Committee members fall into deep thought.

"This salary adjustment, some people may think that I like to show off, or some may think that I am buying people's hearts. But I want to say something that is well-known here: grassroots are unstable, and the earth is shaken! What does the grassroots stability depend on? Rely on discipline constraints? Rely on assessment and promotion? If you can't say these methods will definitely not be used, but what is the most basic thing? We must ensure the survival of grassroots comrades!"

Chu Yang said this and was silent for a moment before continuing: "I used the word survival here, paying attention to survival rather than life. What is survival? Living! All of you are the elites and leaders of Zhongxian County. Most of you may not live in this county, or even if you live here, you have not experienced the daily life of having old men and young men, shopping for rice and vegetables like ordinary people. I would like to ask you to experience it. Give you two thousand yuan a month to let you live the life of ordinary people. I think you will understand the meaning of my use of this word! Here I would like to ask you: How can a job that cannot guarantee a basic life allow a person to devote himself to it? Some people do it now.

The Ministry privately joked: The current job is to let the horse run away and not let the horse eat grass. I think this metaphor is very appropriate! Two days ago, the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection reported that two comrades from the Finance Bureau embezzled public funds to trade stocks. This incident sounded a wake-up call for us! Strengthening discipline and advocating the rule of law is necessary, but it is necessary to ensure the normal life of grassroots comrades and let them devote themselves to work without worries! Don’t have any worries. Zhongxian is no longer the Zhongxian County of the past. The results of development and reform must be shared by all the people. Public officials are also part of the people, not raised by stepmothers! My words are here. Now the salary increase is just the beginning. The good days for the people of Zhongxian are coming later!”
