, at the end of , two uneasy secretaries stood in the office in the West Flower Hall of Zhongnanhai. Due to their personal mistakes, they had unexpected problems on a diplomatic matter.
Prince Zhou
Although these two secretaries do not directly fall under the jurisdiction of Premier Zhou, the Prime Minister has to intervene to understand because the problems cannot be underestimated. After seeing the two of them explain clearly, the Prime Minister waved his hand and said: "You are temporarily back to your post. How to punish you will notify you as soon as possible."
This is one of the few work mistakes that Premier Zhou has made since the founding of the Prime Minister's Office. Fortunately, the Prime Minister discovered in time that the handling was done properly and did not cause serious consequences. Therefore, the Prime Minister only punished him in accordance with the rules and regulations.
Prince Zhou and Chairman Mao
However, this incident was learned by Chairman Mao. After a meeting, the Chairman left Premier Zhou alone. During the period, he talked about the mistakes of the two secretary, and his words were extremely angry : "There are too many secretaries, which is easy to cause bad things."
This sentence made Premier Zhou nervous, and he answered immediately without saying a word. On the contrary, Chairman Mao immediately said : " Why do you keep so many secretaries? Isn't this led by the secretary?"
seemed like a joke, but it made Premier Zhou enlightened. He secretly made up his mind to carry out drastic reforms to the Prime Minister's Office, and even had the idea of "revoking".

How did the Prime Minister's Office develop ? What's the function? After Premier Zhou cancelled, what adjustments did his work make? After entrusting the important task, the State Council must be on the list, and its "predecessor" is the Prime Minister's Office. It can be seen that its importance in its founding period, but why is established cannot be separated from the word "need".
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, although the hard-won peace is inspiring, development is even more imminent. Whether it is national defense power or the improvement of international status, a steady stream of problems are pouring towards national leaders.

At that time, the President of the State, the Prime Minister, Vice Premier and other were all in a busy schedule of "management every day". In particular, Premier Zhou, who is the commander-in-chief of the National Logistics Department and the general manager of diplomatic affairs, is even more involved.
Even if a person has great abilities, he cannot always operate like a machine. Under such circumstances, the central government decided to establish a "Prime Minister's Office", which was originally directly under the State Council and later changed to the "State Council".
Premier Zhou
Prime Minister's Office does not mean it on the surface. has a total of six groups , namely the secretary group, foreign affairs group, administrative group, financial group, and comprehensive group. The main service objects are Premier Zhou and several other vice premiers, as well as the secretary general, and the main office is Xihua Hall .
Therefore, at that time, some people called the West Flower Hall "home" , and when Premier Zhou came back to deal with the time, they would say "I asked you to go home" or "I called at home".
Premier
This not only serves as a confidentiality, but also allows each secretary to find a sense of belonging. works more conscientiously for this "big family".
It is worth mentioning that these secretaries were mobilized from various places in the country and can be called "all over the world, gathering together."
For example, Lei Yingfu, who was in charge of military affairs, was recommended by Chairman Mao, and was once the " Luoyang Talent" ; for example, Gu Ming, who was in charge of the Planning Commission and the Economic Commission, was recommended by Wang Heshou, from Angang ; and Yang Chun, who was once the Secretary of the Songjiang Prefectural Committee, and cadres who served under the major marshals.

This group of secretaries who have "specialized in profession" form a powerful and powerful "Prime Minister's Office" .And they all have a straight line with Premier Zhou, which is the "filter" for the Prime Minister to handle state government affairs.
For example, the request reports and situation briefings from various places will be submitted. After submitting them, the secretary will first check and filter them. After , the "priority and priority" will be distinguished. , and the report will be given to Premier Zhou in order to give further instructions.
Of course, there will be emergencies, such as cumbersome documents, and the secretary should list them to improve them for the Prime Minister to view them faster. As for some emergency documents, must be presented to the Prime Minister for review as soon as possible.
Prince Zhou
Therefore, Premier Zhou holds several positions, and his prime minister's secretary is also the busiest. Sometimes when the Prime Minister receives foreign guests or presides over meetings, they will perform their duties and persevere until the last moment.
Every secretary is very clear: New China needs to develop , which is also the continuation of the revolutionary cause, so there must be someone who sacrifices and works hard for it. However, being able to fight side by side with the Prime Minister is an "excellent honor" that is hard to come by.
However, in , Prime Minister held high the banner of " serving the people ", and he was strict with himself and treated everyone in the Prime Minister's Office equally.
Premier
"Never neglect, never delay." is an order issued by the Prime Minister more than once, and he took the lead in his actions.
For example, no matter how many target documents are required or the troublesome things are, Premier Zhou will review and approve them in an orderly manner and make the most appropriate decision. This serious attitude of has been amazement for many years.
You should know that each secretary has his own strengths and can be called an elite figure in all fields. However, Premier Zhou still tirelessly instructed: "You can't have railway police, you can take care of one section." requires them to be familiar with the overall work and be proficient in all fields.
Prince Zhou
With the joint efforts of Premier Zhou and his secretaries, "Prime Minister's Office" finally made a resounding name . It is understood that the peak of this national institution was in 1956, reaching an unprecedented 20 people.
They are not only tacit partners at work, but also close friends in life. Especially the secretary's feelings for Premier Zhou are filled with respect and care, and countless heartache.
Once, the Prime Minister of was unable to hold on because he worked for more than ten hours in a row, and he fell asleep on the table. Seeing this when the secretary came in, he gently put on a blanket on the Prime Minister and retreated again.

However, not long after, the Prime Minister suddenly woke up and anxiously called his secretary. When I learned that I was asleep accidentally, I suddenly lost my temper and said, "If there is an emergency to report, whether I am sleeping on sleeping pills or other situations, be sure to wake me up."
Secretary hesitated for a few minutes and whispered: "I think no matter how anxious things are, they cannot affect your body, not to mention that you still work overtime all night for a long time, and your body can't bear it."

html html t ml5Premier Zhou knew that the secretary was worried about himself. He did not scold him, but said earnestly: "Our office is specialized in treating difficult and complicated diseases and various emergencies. If the reaction is not timely, what should you do if you let those people who trust us and are in the fire?"
Premier Zhou
Secretary Zhou nodded and according to the Prime Minister's instructions, he always had hot towels and cooling oil next to his desk to cheer up his spirits. This spirit of "before the world and then oneself" also empathizes the people in the entire office, and they set examples and practiced them firmly.
However, even if everyone is wholeheartedly doing their job , with the development of the country, the minor drawbacks of the "Prime Minister's Office" have also been revealed. Soon, it ushered in its first large-scale adjustment, which was inseparable from Chairman Mao’s guidance.
Two times of streamlining personnel, becoming the past history
weeks Prime Minister
957, China's first five-year plan exceeded the completion, and the national economy developed rapidly, marking the beginning of systematic construction of socialism. Then, 's second five-year plan, , was also put on the agenda. At that time, many people proposed plans to increase economic construction , and they would inevitably make more outstanding results than the first five-year plan. However, Premier Zhou raised doubts about this imagination.
Prime Minister explained: Construction requires further economic investment, but my country lacks resources in the early stages and cannot achieve overall and coordinated development. It should be carried out step by step. Subsequently, after Prime Minister checked a large amount of information, he once again put forward the view that "anti-adventure" .
Premier Zhou and Chairman Mao
However, other comrades also expressed different opinions on Premier Zhou's safe plan, and even Chairman Mao also put forward the view of " against rebellion" .
In fact, everyone's starting point is to make the new China better develop, but due to lack of experience and lack of meticulous investigation, it is too subjective.
at that time, and the person in charge of the first five-year plan was Premier Zhou and Chen Yun . After being "criticized", the Prime Minister made a profound review and was no longer responsible for the economic development of , but focused on other aspects such as diplomatic affairs.

Therefore, the secretary in the "Prime Minister's Office" who was in charge of economic research was quickly transferred to other fronts, and its personnel and institutions were also quickly facing streamlining, which was the initial adjustment of the office. Although
is reluctant to leave, Premier Zhou has to re-enter the busy work . However, as the new China gradually became stronger, diplomatic work gradually became the top priority, and the beginning happened immediately.
It is worth mentioning that although the secretary of the "Prime Minister's Office" accepted the prime minister's criticism, tracing the root cause is the mistake of other departments.
Prince Zhou
Even so, Premier Zhou still realized that this incident might cause a chain reaction.
You should know that the most important thing in foreign affairs is to shape a good international image and win international reputation. The "Prime Minister's Office" works directly to the outside world, and any mistakes will rise to the national level. Therefore, the Prime Minister can only streamline the "office" again.
Prince Zhou
However, for Premier Zhou, it is very difficult to make up this decision. Because all the secretaries have been tempered by time, experienced, skilled and efficient. Once cut, will inevitably delay the normal operation of the entire office, and the difficulty of will greatly increase.
Chairman Mao
However, in the heart of the Prime Minister, he always adhered to Chairman Mao's leadership. It is precisely because of mutual trust that the victory of the Communist Party of China and the birth of the new China were achieved. Therefore, after learning that the Chairman's idea was "The bloated personnel will lead to a significant reduction in the efficiency and quality of information transmission." , he made the final decision without hesitation.
In January 1965, Premier Zhou pointed out at the meeting: Streamline politics and reduce unnecessary waste of personnel and resources. With fewer personnel, more transparent transmission and higher efficiency.

This sentence is the dissolution of the "Prime Minister's Office". When the new State Council was established, there was no such efficient operation of the Prime Minister's Office. There was only a "duty room" in the West Flower Hall and several secretary were equipped.
However, after a period of running-in, the staff found without exception that streamlining personnel can indeed increase the transparency of information transmission, but still retain the workload that is no different from usual.
Prince Zhou
The phenomenon of "working overtime" not only appears in the few secretary , but also in the figure of Premier Zhou working at his desk all the time. At that time, the operating model, known as the "four offices", also kicked off.
takes the lead, but is still as diligent as
If you want to talk about who the country leader with the most offices in the world is, Premier Zhou is definitely on the list. However, these places called "offices" are actually ordinary places of life.
Week Prime Minister
After waking up in the morning, the Prime Minister went to the bathroom first. Because I don’t want to waste my time, I will bring the newspapers prepared in advance and the documents that have been annotated before going there. sometimes even needs to listen to the oral report of the secretary and give corresponding instructions.
and the second "office" is the dining table. According to Deng Yingchao's work calendar from 1950 to 1976, people only learned that the Prime Minister's meal time was squeezed out.
Prince Zhou
Even if Premier Zhou can sit at the dining table , he will be disturbed by various emergencies . Therefore, in the end, when the secretary saw the Prime Minister and his wife Deng Yingchao having dinner together, he would subconsciously avoid the report, hoping that they would spend more time together.
The third "office" is the serious office. The room is decorated in a simple and unpretentious manner. Apart from the books that come into view, there are thick stacks of documents.

weeks Prime Minister sits at his desk, puts on reading glasses and the sleeve sewn with blue coarse cloth, and carefully approve the document. Even I could work at my desk for eight or nine hours without complaining about being tired.
Therefore, Deng Yingchao felt very distressed and said to the secretary: " Your Prime Minister is excited when he sees the secretary. Even if you pass by in front of him, you think there is something to deal with, so can you hand over the documents to the secretary on duty? When the Prime Minister sees that there are fewer people, he feels relaxed."

However, although this is the Prime Minister's fixed office space, due to the numerous activities during the day, he does not stay in the office often.
and the fourth "office", is Premier Zhou's bedside . In his later years, the Prime Minister suffered from various diseases such as bladder cancer and . It became common for him to rest in bed, while the small bed table became the office location.
Even the staff around him couldn't help crying after seeing it. is also the most "special" office of the Prime Minister. reflects his ideal of contributing to the revolutionary cause for life.
postscript
Premier Zhou
No matter how the secretary around him changes, Premier Zhou has always taken on the important task, took on the main responsibility, and became the backbone of promoting the development of New China. is also a rare and powerful assistant around Chairman Mao.
Although the "Prime Minister's Office" was once revoked, in 1988, Li Peng served as Premier of the State Council, applied for restoration, followed the footsteps of his predecessors, and continued to work hard.
