Listening to Li Songchen's proposal to support the Ministry of Construction, Jiang Zhiyuan was also very happy and said, "That's so thankful to Minister Li."

Li Songchen smiled and said, "What's the point of thanking me? This proposal from the Ministry of Construction is also for the benefit of us, the new rural construction engineers. Of course, we should support it."

Jiang Zhiyuan said: "These are what our Ministry of Construction should do. The Ministry of Construction is responsible for managing the project. Of course, it should consider the interests of the engineering personnel. Moreover, we not only need to improve the treatment and status of the engineering personnel, but also try our best to improve the construction conditions and management system. How about it? The system formulated by the Executive Committee is too rigid. Many things that our Ministry of Construction can solve are necessary to hold meetings and study. There are also many equipment that must be discussed by the Executive Committee. In fact, some equipment is not very high-tech and there is no need to discuss it repeatedly. If the right to use part of the equipment to the Ministry of Construction will definitely greatly improve the efficiency of the project and serve the engineering personnel better. Minister Li, are you?"

After listening to Jiang Zhiyuan's words, Li Songchen basically understood the intention of the Ministry of Construction, which was to use the interests of engineering personnel as an excuse to bring some private trade, expand the scope of the Ministry of Construction's authority, and gain more power to control resources. Of course, this is understandable. That department does not want its own department to expand its power.

In the current administrative structure of the Time Travel Group, the Ministry of Construction is still an important department. On the one hand, the Ministry of Construction is still responsible for the water conservancy, electricity, transportation, railway and other departments. On the other hand, infrastructure construction will be an important task of the Time Travel Group for a considerable period of time in the future, so the Ministry of Construction will naturally play an important role.

However, compared with the current role of the Ministry of Construction, the authority of the Ministry of Construction in the Executive Department is not in line with each other. Because in the old time and space, construction projects were often one of the hardest hit areas of corruption, the temporary executive committee was also quite vigilant about this. Instead of waiting for corruption to be corrected, it is better to prevent it early. Therefore, the management of construction projects is very strict, which invisibly restricts the scope of authority of the Ministry of Construction and also affects the work efficiency of the Ministry of Construction. The Ministry of Construction will naturally not be willing to do so, hoping to fight for its own rights as much as possible.

Of course, it is not only the Ministry of Construction, but other departments are also actively engaged in activities. It turns out that after the end of the Tianjin Defense War, the military threat faced by Tianjin has been greatly reduced. Although the next step of the Time Travel Group is still in the military, in the Tianjin area, it has begun to tend to the regional economy and livelihood construction, which means that the administrative department will replace the army and become the main role of the region. At the same time, during this period, the nine departments established at the Tianjin meeting have basically completed the framework of their departments, and naturally they all hope that their departments can play an important role, so they submitted suggestions to the Executive Committee to win projects for their departments and expand their scope of authority. There are also seven preparatory departments that are also working hard to operate, hoping that their departments can be officially listed as soon as possible.

In order for the department to successfully win project power and gain enough allies, it is also very important. Although the decision-making system of the Interim Executive Committee is not very perfect now, major decisions are basically decided by the five permanent members of the Interim Executive Committee. Other members and alternate members currently only have the power to propose, congress, and suggest, but do not have the power to make decisions. Of course, if most members and alternate members agree with a proposal during the discussion, the five permanent members will basically not stop it. Several resolutions have been passed in this way before.

Under the current decision-making system, the importance of allies is more obvious. Only by making enough allies can the proposals of the department be passed. Therefore, during this period, the main actions of various departments' activities are to build relationships with each other, make friends, and establish their own circles of allies.

Of course, the five permanent members of the Interim Executive Committee knew this well, but they did not stop it. First, this kind of thing was impossible to stop it. It was impossible for different departments to not allow meetings or talk. Second, establishing ally relationships was originally a political act. In the old time and space, whether it was a multi-party rule or a one-party rule, or even some relatively dictatorial systems, it was all like this. Therefore, as long as it was done within a reasonable range, there was no need to stop it.

Of course, compared with the various political interest alliances in the old time and space, the so-called alliances between the departments at this time were still in a very primary stage, because the current time-travel group cannot be regarded as a complete national power system, and there is no fixed political groups within it, let alone parties. Naturally, there is no way to talk about fixed or loose political interest alliance groups, and even interest exchanges are not considered as interest exchanges, because time-travelers have no wages, and the currency of the old time and space is useless at this time. Therefore, the so-called alliances are simply to support the other party's proposals without conflicts of interest, and after the meeting is over, the alliance will end. However, the development of political activities is also from primary to advanced. As time goes by, the administrative system of the time-travel group and the political system gradually improves, and the political alliances in the old time and space will appear sooner or later.

Compared with other departments, the Ministry of Construction has considerable advantages because the Ministry of Construction has many projects in its hands, and in the foreseeable future, the Ministry of Construction has a large number of infrastructure projects, so the projects of the Ministry of Construction can be guaranteed. On the other hand, in the Ministry of Construction, in addition to the military, the largest number of engineering personnel must be considered, which can be regarded as the second largest force and has sufficient networking base.

In addition to strict supervision, the Ministry of Construction has no advantage among the senior management. Now, the Minister of the Ministry of Construction You Mingqian is just an alternate member. In political activities, it is difficult to gain a foothold without the support of the senior management. In addition, since the Ministry of Construction is one of the few departments that master a large number of projects, it is easy to become the target of public criticism and be isolated by other departments.

Faced with competition from other departments, the Minister of Construction You Mingqian, did not dare to be careless. After discussing with the two deputy ministers Xu Dingsheng and Jiang Zhiyuan, decided that on the one hand, we should maintain good relations with other departments and should never be isolated by other departments. This is a serious matter in political activities. On the other hand, we should also actively pull all groups and individuals that can pull them, as they are engineering and technical personnel, which is the foundation of the Ministry of Construction.

This time, the Ministry of Construction is preparing to propose that the treatment and status of engineering and technical personnel should be improved for the sake of the vital interests of engineering and technical personnel. Regardless of whether the proposal can be passed or not, the engineering and technical personnel in the group will be further drawn to make them supporters of the Ministry of Construction.

Li Songchen and the Ministry of Agriculture are the objects of the Ministry of Construction's Chongqing Lalong. Because the main work of the Ministry of Agriculture is the construction of new rural areas, which is actually a large-scale project construction, the two sides have a considerable foundation for cooperation. In addition, although Li Songchen is not old and is just an alternate member, he was a formal national civil servant in the old time and space. The formal establishment of the State Council and Wang Yunpeng and Xu Jichao among the five permanent members of the Interim Executive Committee should be considered the same group. What the Ministry of Construction lacks the most is the support of the senior management. To establish a private relationship with Li Songchen, it is possible to open up a path to contact the senior management.

However, Li Songchen has been living on the construction site for a while and has been in a hurry when he returned to Tianjin. Therefore, the Ministry of Construction has not found an opportunity to contact Li Songchen, but he did not expect to meet him in the bathhouse. Jiang Zhiyuan naturally could not let this opportunity slip away. So after a tentative conversation, Jiang Zhiyuan also began to reveal some of the Ministry of Construction’s proposals to Li Songchen, wanting to see Li Songchen’s reaction.

Although Li Songchen is not old and has not had much work experience in the old time and space, he is a person in the system after all. He is influenced by the eyes and has never eaten pork, and has always seen pigs running. In addition, he is good at thinking, so he generally understands Jiang Zhiyuan's intentions.

At this time, Li Songchen's mind began to turn rapidly, thinking about the intentions of Jiang Zhiyuan or the Ministry of Construction, what benefits he has for him. First of all, it is to improve the treatment, status, construction conditions of the engineering personnel, and the proposal is consistent with his proposal. It is of course the best to propose it first. After all, from the direct relationship, the engineering and technical personnel have no relationship with the Ministry of Agriculture. The other requirements of the Ministry of Construction do not conflict with the Ministry of Agriculture. On the contrary, if the scope of authority of the Ministry of Construction is expanded, it will also have certain benefits to the Ministry of Agriculture.

In fact, the scope of authority of the Ministry of Agriculture is much larger than that of the old time and space. It not only needs to manage agricultural production, but also needs to manage grassroots construction in rural areas, land distribution, household registration, taxation, etc. Everything related to rural areas should be managed by the Ministry of Agriculture. It is more suitable to call the Ministry of Rural Affairs. Now there will definitely be a large amount of infrastructure construction in rural areas, and in many aspects, it is necessary to cooperate with the Ministry of Construction.

On the other hand, Li Songchen also thought that in his proposal, a considerable part of it was about rural grassroots construction, land distribution, household registration, taxation, etc., which may have some conflicts with other departments. For example, rural grassroots construction is prone to conflicts with the Ministry of Personnel, and the tax system is in conflict with the Ministry of Finance, which in turn has no conflicts of interest with the Ministry of Construction. Therefore, in this way, the two sides do have the basis to form an alliance and support each other's proposals. With the support of the Ministry of Construction, the probability of their proposals passing will be much higher.
