"What? Don't have any money on the account of the General Affairs Section? Zhong Yi was stunned and said, "No, didn't I just approve 100,000 yuan for your general affairs department yesterday?" Didn't go to the Finance Bureau to withdraw it? ”

"Go." Gong Weiqian said with a wry smile, "But Director Chen said that the Finance Bureau has no money. ”

"What? The Finance Bureau has no money? Zhong Yi frowned and said, "You ask Lao Chen to come to my office immediately." ”

Gong Weiqian answered, and hurriedly went to call the Finance Bureau, and less than ten minutes after the call, Chen Jiming came to Zhong Yi's office with a pair of panda eyes.

"Mayor, are you looking for me?" Chen Jiming let out a long yawn before he finished speaking.

Chen Jiming hasn't slept for two nights, and he will really be sleepy.

Zhong Yi frowned and said, "Secretary-General Gong Wei told me that there is no money in the account of the Finance Bureau?" ”

Chen Jiming immediately showed a flattering smile on his face, and said: "If others ask me for money, it must be gone, but if you ask for money from the mayor, there are still some, not much, but the emergency funds of 500,000 fiat currency can still be taken out, which is also the unspoken rule of finance bureaus at all levels, everyone does it." ”

"What?" Zhong Yi said, "There are 500,000 fiat currency in the account? ”

500,000 fiat dollars may sound like a lot, but if you face a city, it's pitifully small.

Not to mention anything else, the salaries of all civil servants in the city government alone are nearly 100,000 yuan per month, and this does not include the salaries of school teachers, officers and soldiers of the garrison division, and police officers.

Teachers, officers and soldiers of the garrison division, and police are the main ones who spend the money!

If you add these three groups, half a million can't be stopped!

"Mayor." Chen Jiming couldn't help but complain, "Don't be too little, I tried my best to intercept the 500,000 fiat currency, and I even offended the county magistrate Mao of Fenghua County for this!" ”

"It shouldn't be." Zhong Yi said, "Why is it so much money?" ”

"What's the solution?" Chen Jiming spread his hands and said, "After the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese war, our Yinjiang commerce and trade have also been greatly affected, the tax source has decreased, but the expenditure has increased day by day. ”

"That's not right, right?" Zhong Yi frowned and said, "Shanghai has fallen, Yinjiang has become the only coastal port in the inland transportation area, the commerce and trade industry should be more prosperous, and the tax revenue should be more, why is it less?" ”

Chen Jiming shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "This year, there are more materials crossing the border from Yinjiang than before, but these materials are not military products, or they belong to a certain senior official in the province, and they do not pay taxes to our Yinjiang at all, and even many local commercial goods are also under the hands of those provincial officials, how can the tax source not be reduced?" ”

Zhong Yi understood as soon as he heard it, and it was still the fault of abuse of power.

Military products do not pay taxes, which is a matter of course, but Zhong Yi is very suspicious that fifty percent of the military products crossing the Yinjiang River can belong to real national defense materials, and the remaining fifty percent are smuggled materials.

According to historical records, the smuggling phenomenon of the commander's headquarters of the three theaters was extremely serious.

However, even if Zhong Yi wants to manage this kind of thing, he can't do it.

After a pause, Chen Jiming said again: "Mayor, since I talked about it today, I will have something to say about my humble position, and now that it is the end of the month, I don't know where to go for this month's salary." ”

Zhong Yi said in a deep voice: "How much will this month's salary be paid?" ”

Chen Jiming's various data came out of his mouth: "Not counting the seven counties below, in our Yinjiang urban area alone, there are more than 3,500 people eating public meals, including more than 500 civil servants from various institutions under the municipal government, more than 1,500 police and patrol officers from the municipal police station and its three subordinate sub-bureaus, and more than 1,000 teachers from primary, middle and vocational schools. ”

"In addition, there are more than 7,000 people in the garrison division, but fortunately, the salaries of the officers and men of the garrison division are not much, so I won't talk about it."

"Due to the high prices after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the national government has ordered two salary increases, and now the average salary of civil servants has risen to 150 yuan in legal currency, a monthly salary."

Zhong Yi nodded subconsciously, one hundred and fifty yuan sounds like a lot, but it is not.

At the current price, 150 yuan of legal currency is barely enough to fill the stomach of a family of three, and if it is a family of four or more, then there is no other way, otherwise they will starve.

Chen Jiming spread his hands and said: "Mayor, look at it, just the salary of civil servants has exceeded 500,000 legal currency, and this is not counting daily expenses." ”

"I know this." Zhong Yi nodded, and said, "First pay the 50,000 yuan from the General Affairs Section, and then use the emergency fund to pay this month's salary, oh yes, the officers and soldiers of the patrol and garrison divisions who participated in the strike hard operation will also be given a bonus, and the dead will also be given a pension, and the specific standard will be returned to you." ”

Chen Jiming said: "Mayor, isn't the emergency money enough?" ”

"The insufficient part will be made up from the stolen money first." Zhong Yi said, "Go back and report to me." ”

"I'm afraid this won't work." Chen Jiming lowered his voice and said, "Mayor, early this morning, Director Xu of the Provincial Department of Finance and Director Zhao of the Police Department called me, so that the seized stolen money and goods must not be misappropriated without authorization, and they should be distributed to us in the form of financial return after the unified inventory of the province." ”

As for the stolen money obtained from gambling and prostitution, most of them are privately divided from the bottom and are rarely handed over.

But this time, Zhong Yi's movements in Yinjiang were a little bigger, and the benefits were also greater, so the officials in the province got pink eye, so they instructed the Police Department and the Finance Department to come over to make money.

Zhong Yi naturally scoffed at this, he didn't see you when he made his efforts, but he jumped out to take benefits, how could there be such a good thing?

"Leave them alone, you only need the money!" Zhong Yi said again, "If the province calls again, you don't have to pay attention to them, let them find me, I don't believe it, do they really have the face to take this money?" ”

"Humble duty understands." With Zhong Yi's assurance, Chen Jiming was equivalent to taking a reassuring pill.

After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "Also, in addition to seizing a large amount of stolen money and goods, this crackdown also confiscated a lot of real estate shops, especially Chen Jinmu's two mansions are of the highest value, you organize an auction as soon as possible, auction these properties and shops, and all the proceeds will be charged to the city treasury." ”

"Yes, I'll arrange it when I turn around." Chen Jiming nodded busily.

If the stolen money and goods seized from this strike hard operation, together with the proceeds from the auction of real estate and shops, are transferred to the municipal treasury, then this year will be much better, and not only will we be able to pay off all the arrears, but we will even be able to give all civil servants a relatively generous New Year's gift, so that everyone can have a good year.

"Let's get busy." Zhong Yi waved his hand to drive people away.

Chen Jiming happily said goodbye and left.
