County Lieutenant Cheng and Master Dong glanced at each other and shook their heads slightly. After being together for more than half a year, everyone can see it, not to mention other skills, Du Zhongxiao's ability to make money is first-class. said that he asked everyone to discuss, most of the time he already had a plan in his heart.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Yao Anle said in a loud voice: "We people are not as good as the chiefs, we have studied for so many years, and we are high school scholars, and our stomachs are full of ideas for governing the country and securing the people." Like those of us, if there is a way to make money, which one will be an official? If there is any good way, sir, just say it, and we will do it! ”

County Lieutenant Cheng and Master Dong nodded again and again and applauded together.

Du Zhongxiao took the county's soldiers and horses to prison, and the new inspector Yao Anle was his subordinate, and it was time to get close to the chief. He was originally a forbidden soldier who went to the northwest to fight, and he was wounded, so he tried every means to get such an errand for the elderly. The habit in the barracks is to go straight to everything, even the stammering chief. Don't be afraid, be embarrassed, the people in the barracks are all scrambling to do this kind of thing.

Looking at everyone's expectant eyes, Du Zhongxiao said: "I thought of a way, but I don't know if it's feasible or not, let's consider it when I say it." ”

"The most difficult thing in the county is not us, but those public servants. Most of them not only don't have a good fortune, but they also have to pay for their own work for Shangguan from time to time, which is really pitiful. Last year, many public officials in the county were implicated in the Ma Meng case, and although most of them were unscrupulous, there were always a few of them who were helpless. We are officials, we must think about them, and we have no worries about food and clothing, who will do those things that are traitors and criminals? They will be able to support their families, and if there are people colluding with local snakes and rats, we will be able to deal with them with it. ”

Listening to Du Zhongxiao talk about the difficulties of public officials, several people couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd. The days of these officials have been hard enough, who still has the leisure to take care of those officials.

Du Zhongxiao said again: "Being a county official is the most difficult. Every penny is under the control of the state, and all political affairs must be under the command of the state. In other words, we, the officials, are outsiders to the county. How can outsiders make money in the local area? All the use of the county government should also fall on the public servants. That's what I thought, the county set up a special treasury, appointed a special person to run it, and all the money earned was deposited in the treasury. The purpose of this treasury is to pay for the public servants in the county. When they have food and clothing, they will no longer be harsh on the people, and you will support them to do something on weekdays, and you can also pay money from this, do you think it is good? ”

Dong Zhushu is a person in charge of money, after hearing this, after thinking about it for a while, he understood what Du Zhongxiao meant. Regardless of whether it is in the name of the yamen or in the name of an official, the county level has no right to set up its own treasury, nor can it be an economic entity. So if you want to make money, you can only go through the hands of public officials. What does it matter if officials are not able to pay money from the treasury? Just let the officials do the work and buy things, and don't give them money. This kind of thing, the county officials have done a lot before, and a few county magistrates pay for their own food and drink. Such a treasury, nominally for the public officials, is in fact a small treasury for officials, a disguised treasury for ministers. In fact, the money in the state treasury is the same, it can only be used, and it cannot be taken back to one's own home.

Thinking of this, Dong Zhushu was the first to applaud: "The county is so considerate, it is our blessing!" ”

Cheng County Lieutenant didn't figure it out for a while, and when he saw that Dong Zhushu applauded, he also applauded. This kind of money and food matter is best understood by the main book.

When the others saw the praise of the two leaders, they all clapped their hands together, whether they understood it or not.

Du Zhongxiao said: "Okay, then set up a warehouse in the county to persuade the public servants to abide by the law." The capital of this treasury cannot be used with public funds, and it is not easy to allocate it to the people, so I think it is better to give it some credit. In recent days, most of the people who have been in front of the government are local high-class households, so let them get together and make money negotiable. Which of us who can't trust us as a guarantor? Wait until the operation has interest, and pay back the principal. ”

Dong Zhushu said: "What the county said is true. Ma Meng's quarrel was so disturbing that the county was not at peace, and most of the previous yamen were useless, and almost all of them have been replaced recently. They are already big families, why is it difficult to get some money together? Earn money and pay them back. ”

Yao Anle looked at Du Zhongxiao, and then turned his head to look at Dong Zhushu, who was stunned for a while. Is it still possible to do this? If you don't have a penny of capital, you have to build a treasury, and you still have to do good things for the officials. It's not right, these people are the ones who paid for it.

Du Zhongxiao knows the county in a dignified manner, how can he pay for business in order to do business. With his own ability to make money, it should be someone else's capital to beg for his own use. If it weren't for the fact that the county's financial power was completely deprived by the state, where would he need to spend so much work. Building a treasury in the name of public officials is equivalent to raising funds for public officials to do business on their own, and the money they earn is used as their income, which not only satisfies the imperial court, but also gives them food and clothing. As for which link seems to be wrong, everyone has their own ideas, what is the matter with Guan Du Zhongxiao, he just has the ability to make money.

The county is not a complete political power, but is essentially a dispatch agency of the state, and the financial power is completely received from the state. No matter what Du Zhongxiao does, as long as he makes money, it is an industry in the state, and it is difficult to manage it. Just as he made some money by making fireworks, he was taken away the next year, and the state also installed an official position as a prison official.

This is the case with the location of the county. Du Zhongxiao finally saw clearly, in this position, it is okay to make some money by making small troubles and improve the status quo of himself and his subordinates, but a big industry can't do it. As long as it grows bigger, it will be taken into the state and out of its control. Therefore, to be a county magistrate, it is a good thing to honestly study some new technologies and accumulate political experience.

Why is the Marmon case so widely implicated? It was because of the involvement of public officials at the state and county levels, and the yamen was infiltrated like a sieve. If the issue of the treatment of public officials cannot be resolved, this kind of thing will happen again in the future, and it will definitely happen.

The county-level finances were completely siphoned off by the superiors, not to mention the construction of projects for the benefit of the locality, or simply maintained, and the little money left in the state was not enough. Where to make it up? In fact, the officials who worked in the yamen paid for it themselves. If you don't commit adultery, these positions will not only not earn money to support your family, but you will also have to put your own family property on your own. It is not permissible to impose heavy taxes on the households under his rule, because as long as the name is established, the money will be received by the state, and the county will only have soup and water left, which has nothing to do with the integrity of the officials.

If he wants to do a good job in the county, Du Zhongxiao can only build a separate library as a public official. This treasury cannot use official money, otherwise a bad person will be labeled as an abuse of public money, and the public officials can only raise funds themselves. The reason is actually the same as that of the camp and field affairs, that is, the imperial court has too strict control over local finances, so it has no choice but to set up some economic entities under collective ownership to strive for local interests. Du Zhongxiao has the means to make money, and the development of economic entities in these places is to do good things for the county. As for whether the officials will be received in the state after the change of officials, that is the matter of someone else. The county level is destined to be just a springboard for Rentu, and Du Zhongxiao is the same, in fact, there is not much room to play.

Du Zhongxiao spent so long and used a lot of brains, in fact, he just figured out why he had a collective economy in his previous life. The collective economy is meant to provide wealth to the local government to compensate for the disadvantages of excessive fiscal centralization. Of course, he has brought down the collective economy, and no one is to blame. Fortunately, in this era, there is no political task to ensure employment, and the officially operated entities do not lose money, and they can just sell and shut down if they can't make money.

Seeing that everyone's expressions were a little confused, obviously they still couldn't understand the meaning of what they did, Du Zhongxiao was a little helpless. He didn't expect that there would be such a serious property rights problem in this era. What's the solution? The centralization of power in the Great Song Dynasty is, first of all, the centralization of finance, known as the cost of entering a penny in the world must go through three divisions. There is some fiscal flexibility at the state level, and there is no economic independence at the county level.
