Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 267 What a pure taste
Complaints belong to complaints, this thief ship is on board, and the president has to wipe his ass if he doesn't want to.

There is no way, the six devils have used Xiao He, Zhuge Liang, Fang Xuanling, and Li Shanchang to describe him, and it is really hard to justify without effort.

"There is no other way right now, but to reduce expenses, deal with the things in front of us first, and talk about it later."

The chairman proposed a general routine operation, which is to deduct the expenditure of civil servants in Sichuan, in the name of assisting in the suppression of chaos and reducing the burden on the court.

Of course, this civil servant should be treated differently, with the focus on detaining officials below the sixth rank.

It's like receiving a salary of [-] yuan in the previous month, but this month I will receive [-]% or [-]% of it.

There are nearly 4000 people in Sichuan with officials below the sixth rank. These officials are also the main body of Sichuan’s officialdom. If each person receives two taels less per month, they can save 8000 taels a month.

That's nearly 100,000 taels a year.

Compared with Quanchuan's annual income of less than one million taels, this 100,000 taels is obviously a large number.

The official salaries of officials above the sixth rank are issued as they are, but the maintenance silver is temporarily withheld.

Because compared with salaries, raising honest silver is the main income of officials.

自康熙年间以后，四品知府的养廉银一年为2500两到3000两，知州在1500到2000两。七品知县的养廉银则在1000两到1800两之间（根据所属县定等计）。

Compared with the regular salary, it is usually calculated by 30 times higher.

The president counted a dozen "babas" and only counted the magistrates, prefectures, and county magistrates. If the maintenance of Lianyin was stopped, a total of 624 officials above the seventh rank and below the fourth rank could save about 40,000 taels for the monthly maintenance of Lianyin. The policy lasts for one year and can save 500,000 taels.

In addition, prefectural and county public schools that rely on provincial finances, such as prefectural, state, and county schools, also deduct half of the salaries of teaching staff. A rough calculation can save 10,000 to [-] taels of silver per month.

Because the other clerks in each yamen are not of rank, they are low-level officials, and their salaries are not allocated to the treasury, but are raised by the yamen in various places. Therefore, the governor really can't find a reason to withhold other people's money.

In general, if we calculate the detailed accounts, just by deducting the expenditure of civil servants, the treasury can save about 60,000 taels a month.

Don't underestimate the 60,000 taels, it will play a big role in reducing the financial burden.

"how do you feel?"

When the president looked up at Jia Liu, he found that there was an expression of excitement on the other's face.

Coughing twice, Jia Liu asked the chairman if he did this, would it trigger a backlash from the officials below, and would it reduce the quality of life of the officials.

After all, it was picked out of someone else's bowl.

The chairman glanced at Guizi Liu, and snorted: "Does the eunuch rely on his salary to support his life?"

"Ah, yes, yes!"

A prefect of Luzhou sent back 5000 taels to the admiral. Can you point out that the magistrate lives on his salary?

"However, for the sake of your lord's official reputation, some changes must be made."

Jia Liu put forward his own opinion, which is to change "deduction" to "donation".

"Change deduction to donation?"

The president thought for a while, feeling a little embarrassed, "It may not be easy for them to donate the money after it is distributed."

"Your Excellency is confused, aren't you? Surely you can't send the money down, just withhold it, and then give each of them a certificate of voluntary donation."

Jia Liu must remind the chairman that after the deduction of this thing, there is still a need to make up for it, and the deduction of the official salary below is not very pleasant to the official voice of the chairman, but the donation is different. Sichuan officials are also bright.

Because this shows that officials in Sichuan Province collectively have the imperial court and Qing Dynasty in their hearts.

"No wonder they call you Guizi Six, you really are a devil!"

The president nodded again and again, the method is the same, but the change of one deduction and one donation is infinitely subtle.

"However, this donation can only last for one or two months, not for a long time. If you always ask the people below to donate money, there will definitely be complaints."

In order to solve the imminent financial crisis, Jia Liu put forward an idea of ​​his own, that is, he would invest 500,000 taels to set up a bank that connects the government and the people of Sichuan Province.

Then, in the name of the provincial government, the governor opened Sichuan banks in every prefecture, state, and county in Sichuan, and towns with slightly larger populations should also be established.

Temporarily unable to solve the crisis with the entity, it is necessary to use financial means.

Jia Liu has learned that these days, banks and banks do not give interest to depositors, but instead have to pay high exchange fees, which are handling fees.

The banknotes used by Qianzhuang Banks are not banknotes, but exchange certificates issued by Qianzhuang Banks. The main customers are dignitaries and businessmen who do large transactions.

Bank notes can avoid the risk of carrying a large amount of cash and are convenient.But it cannot be circulated in the market. For example, if you buy a chicken at a stall with ten taels of silver, the hawker who sells the chicken will never accept it.

Because first, you have to go to the bank to cash it, and second, you have to pay a handling fee.

But Sichuan bank is different.

As long as the common people deposit their money, they will be given interest. For example, if they deposit one hundred cash, they will receive five cash per annum.

The more you save, the higher the interest.

No handling fee will be deducted when withdrawing money, so as to "benefit the people".

More importantly, the vouchers produced by this Sichuan bank can be used to offset government taxes or fines.

Jia Liu looked complacent: "The money of the common people has been deposited in our bank. Are you afraid that you will run out of money?"

"This is a good deal for no profit!"

The chairman also thinks this is a good idea, but he is worried that if this Sichuan bank is just built, its credit may not be as good as those of the old banks, so he is worried that the people will not deposit their money in it.

In that case, it is still an empty shell to mess around.

"My lord, you are the governor of Sichuan."

Jia Liu looked at the chairman meaningfully.

"What do you mean?"

The chairman doesn't quite understand.

Jia Liu had no choice but to ask the chairman: "Sir, who do you think the people listen to?"

The president said without hesitation, "Of course it's from the government."

"Who does the government listen to?"

"Huh? Let's be careful."

Of course, Jia Liu has to be careful. Your president is the governor of Sichuan and the leader of the entire Sichuan province. I, Jia Jia Shikai, am the admiral of Sichuan and the leader of the entire Sichuan army.

The "governor" cooperates to set up a family bank. Whether it is an official, a commoner, or a wealthy businessman and gentry, they don't pay interest, and they don't pay interest. Who would dare not deposit money in it?

Whoever does not give the "governor" face is the enemy of the imperial court.

A further approach is to let the prefectures and counties under the governor's yamen write the papers, and the local yamen issue the list, and send the six-room personnel in the yamen to mobilize (force) the people to deposit.

"Yu Dahu will give you a designated deposit amount, more government rewards, and fewer officers and soldiers entering the door. My lord, tell me, is our business prosperous?"

Jia Liu laughed to himself.

The president thought about it for a while, then couldn't help but nodded, and then said with emotion: "The emperor doesn't need you as the secretary of the household department, it's a waste of talent."

"I also feel that I have lost my talent. It's best to hand over the inner treasury to me. The emperor doesn't have to worry about anything. He can eat and drink every day, just wait for death."

While Jia Liu was speaking, he pinched a beard on his chin with two fingers and pulled it hard, feeling pain and joy.

"Yes, what you said reminded me that if all the people in Sichuan deposit their money with us, then we will be considered rebellious. Don't all the people in Sichuan have to hope for our success?"

With this bold and realistic idea, the chairman couldn't help but took out the snuff bottle and took a strong sniff.

The taste is pure and very exciting.

　Because I am worried that everyone will not be free tonight, so I will only update two chapters today, okay?

　　Ladies and gentlemen, do you say that you are proud and careful?
