Chapter 243 - Budget (1)
After Dong Baishi finished speaking, she looked at Chen Jingyun with some concern, she and Chen Jingyun have been staying for a long time, and they know a little bit about Chen Jingyun's temper, and they know his attitude towards relatives and friends looking for jobs, which is basically not looking at the relationship, only looking at personal ability, capable people such as Yu Ruofei and Qian Hanlang are reused, but at the same time, Chen Jingyun's second brother-in-law, that is, Lin Chengkun's own brother, can only be a small clerk in the subordinate department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Last time, Chen Jingyun's second sister and Chen Yu's personal intercession did not play a positive role, but instead let Chen Jingyun directly delegate him from his leisurely idle position to become a small clerk.
So now Dong Bai was also a little nervous when he said this, for fear that he would anger Chen Jingyun by accident. It's just that I can't help but say that when her mother came over before, she cried to her, saying how miserable her brother was, you can't ignore it as a sister, and what can she say as a daughter, she can only mention it head-on.
Seeing that Chen Jingyun didn't speak, Dong Bai whispered again: "Don't find him too good, just give him an errand and don't let him be idle!" ”
Chen Jingyun understands very well that people live in the world, they will always face a lot of human contacts, and he Chen Jingyun is not an unkind person, there is nothing wrong with arranging a person to work, not to mention that Dong Bai's has already been proposed, Chen Jingyun stretched out his hand and hugged Dong Bai's shoulder: "I'll see him another day, and I'll look at the arrangement when the time comes!" ”
Hearing Chen Jingyun say this, a smile appeared on Dong Bai's face.
The next morning, Chen Jingyun had just met several officials of the current municipal axe in Shanghai, and Yu Shifeng came in and said, "Commander! The people who went to the hospital are back! ”
Chen Jingyun nodded: "Oh, let him in!" ”
Immediately, a second-class secretary of the secretariat came in and reported to his hospital party in detail, and told him about the clash between Dong Bai's third brother and the soldiers of the Nationalist Army yesterday. After hearing this, Chen Jingyun can be regarded as a general understanding of the matter, and this matter has something to do with Chen Jingyun himself.
The reason for the incident is very simple, the third brother of Dong Bai's family drank a few more words in the restaurant, and boasted to a few friends who had just met that he knew Chen Jingyun, and others naturally didn't believe it, so the third brother of Dong Bai's brainless family said that his sister was Chen Jingyun's third lady and something like that. In fact, not many people know that Dong Bai's family is Chen Jingyun's outer room, and most of them are limited to the high-level of the National Army, and outsiders are not very clear. At that time, there were just a few Nationalist Army officers in the restaurant who came back from the front line on leave, these officers had just graduated from the Fuzhou Military Academy, and they were all members of the National Socialist Party. In the fight, Dong Bai's third brother was naturally not the opponent of these National Army officers, and he was sent to the hospital in a few rounds, which is not counting, those officers followed them to the hospital with a fever, saying that they were going to fight again, and then they were stopped in the hospital.
Several of the officers who caused the disturbance were subsequently arrested by the Nationalist military police who arrived and are now locked in confinement.
For this kind of thing, Chen Jingyun is also a little crying and laughing, he is not good at this kind of thing, so he can only let it go, but because of Dong Bai's entrustment, Chen Jingyun still said: "When he is discharged from the hospital, take him to see me!" ”
Chen Jingyun didn't have much arrangement, he just wanted to see him, if he was okay, he would be arranged to serve in the military and political axe, don't think about how big an official is, but some small positions are still okay, he has a serious errand, and he has nothing to do to hang out and make trouble, which annoys Dong Bai's for no reason, and makes Dong Bai's annoyance that makes him Chen Jingyun annoyed.
As for the officers, they have already been punished by confinement for their beatings, and the matter is over.
After dealing with this trivial matter, Chen Jingyun met with Zhuang Nan, deputy director of the Salary Raising Department and deputy director of the Zhejiang Military and Political Axe Finance Department. Zhuang Nan was still called by Chen Jingyun, and now An Hualin, who is in charge of the finances of the National Army, is still staying in the base camp in Fuzhou, although Chen Jingyun is now staying in Shanghai and has brought over most of the headquarters of the National Army, but this is mainly to facilitate the command of the war in southern Jiangsu, and the base camp of the National Army is still in Fuzhou, and someone has to stay there to take charge of things. If Chen Jingyun wanted to know about financial affairs, he could only ask Zhuang Nan nearby.
Zhuang Nan, as the deputy director of the Nationalist Army's Salary Raising Department and the deputy director of Zhejiang's Ministry of Finance, began to organize people to take over Shanghai's financial reform affairs after the Nationalist Army recently captured Shanghai, and was already the No. 2 person in the Nationalist Army's financial system.
This time Chen Jingyun wanted to fully understand the financial problems of the National Army, he had already met Chen Jingyun once after he arrived in Shanghai, but that time the two did not talk very deeply, many periods ago An Hualin was in charge, and even Zhuang Nan did not know much, so after returning to Zhuang Nan and An Hualin contacted several times, so that the fundraising office in Fuzhou sorted out the information, and only after sorting out the information did he come to see Chen Jingyun again.
"The Funding Office has already made a budget for next year!" Zhuang Nan handed the document in his hand to Chen Jingyun: "Please take a look at it, commander!" ”
Chen Jingyun took a cursory look, then raised his head and said, "You can say it simply!" ”
Zhuang Nan nodded and said: "The financial budget of the fund-raising office is based on the areas currently controlled by our national army, including Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangdong, the area east of Guangzhou, and the surrounding areas of Shanghai, and the rest of southern Jiangsu is included in the Shanghai area because it is still a war zone and does not have an accurate number. Some of the above areas have completed the tax reform, while the tax reform in Shanghai, Guangzhou and other regions is underway, and it is expected to be completed early next year!
Judging by the completion of the tax reform, it is estimated that next year, the traditional fiscal revenue of the Chinese People's Army will include land endowments, industry and commerce, and local cents. Among the localities, about 13 million yuan will be in Fujian, 40 million yuan in Zhejiang, about 20 million yuan in the areas east of Guangzhou, Guangdong, and 10 million yuan in the vicinity of Shanghai and the rest of southern Jiangsu, and it is estimated that a total of 83 million yuan will be collected. ”
Zhuang Nan paused when he said this, and then said: "Among them, the cigarettes and cigarette taxes collected by the subordinates of the Anti-Smoking Division are not included!" And according to the commander's previous instructions, this part of the reading power came out with a special fund! Judging from the situation of this year's collection and the fact that our army has already controlled Shanghai and obtained the markets in Shanghai and the Yangtze River valley, the cigarette tax will be about 8 million yuan next year, and the big tobacco tax will be about 23 million yuan. ”
In the areas controlled by the National Army, due to the monopoly of tobacco, in addition to regular cigarettes, this tobacco also has big smoke, which is commonly known as opium.
There are currently only two tobacco companies under the control of the National Army, one is the Hademen Tobacco Company established by the Chen family before, and the other is the Dayang Tobacco Company that Chen Jingyun used to win over wealthy businessmen in Fujian and Zhejiang, and the Dayang Tobacco Company was approved by the license. The other Dayang Tobacco Company is even more so, basically integrating most of the powerful chaebol merchants in Fujian and Zhejiang, and the capital investment at the beginning of its establishment has been as high as 5 million yuan, and then in the process of rapid expansion, it has attracted some other chaebols in China, and even Sheng Xuanhuai has let his family take hundreds of thousands of yuan to Fuzhou to participate in the shares. Under the dispersion of shares, even Huaxia Bank only controls 10% of its shares, and the rest is divided among other big businessmen.
In the past year, the cigarette industry has developed rapidly in the areas controlled by the Nationalist Army due to the vigorous promotion of propaganda of cigarettes as a substitute for opium, and because the Nationalist Army has implemented an access system for tobacco, other businessmen are not allowed to open tobacco companies without permission.
In order to monopolize this lucrative industry, neither Chen Jingyun nor the chaebol gentry who have stakes in two tobacco companies mind using violence to crack down on cigarette smuggling.
The tobacco industry is so profitable, it has also brought huge financial revenue to the national army, this year is not over, the anti-smoking department has sent the estimated income data, the tax revenue of the tobacco industry has been as high as more than three million, although this data is far less than the opium tax comparison, this with the passage of time, the control area of the national army continues to increase, especially after the national army controls Shanghai, the business of these two tobacco companies has expanded to Shanghai and even the entire Yangtze River basin, and the income will continue to maintain a high speed and normal. To this end, the Revenue Department has set a tax target of $8 million for next year.
Another business in charge of the anti-smoking department is opium, for cigarettes, opium is more profitable, the money comes faster and more direct, such a profiteering industry Chen Jingyun is not ready to give outsiders, although this is a conscience money, but if you can make it, why let outsiders earn it, it is impossible to openly ban the import of foreign opium, but he can completely levy high taxes on foreign opium, and use the price difference to support his own Fujian tobacco, he wants not only taxes, he also wants the profits of the entire industry.
For this reason, he has used a lot of means, and there are many opium smugglers who have died under the hands of the Anti-Smoking Division in the past year or so!
