Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 308
A deficit of 170,000 taels, what is the concept?
The fiscal revenue of Sichuan Province is only one million taels, and Gansu’s is less than 500,000 taels. A national mausoleum affiliated to the Civil Affairs Bureau loses one-fifth of Sichuan’s fiscal revenue a year. !
Jia Liu is so angry, no one is happy to take over a bad debt without getting all the good things in the grave.

170,000 taels!
He, the minister in charge of the third rank, has a statutory salary of only 130 taels a year, including 6000 taels of silver for maintenance, and it takes 30 years without food or drink to fill the hole.

This isn't cheating, it's cheating.

In Jingling's wretched place, there was no money transport truck for him to rob, nor ammunition and food for him to cooperate with the enemy.

Apart from repairing the broken yamen, there is no other major project for him to do.

So where does Jia Liu go to get 170,000 taels to fill the hole?

This is really working for the Qing Dynasty and Aixinjueluo. It is absolutely impossible for Jia Liu to put the hard-earned money he earned into it.

Therefore, the account must not be recognized.

But soon, Jia Liu pinched his nose and recognized it.

Why?

According to the unspoken rules of the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty, the successor does not turn over the account of the predecessor.

If you want to translate it, you can bring it up at the time of handover.

If you don't bring it up, "Baba" will be stamped with a big seal, which means that you, the new minister in charge, have admitted your account.

After accepting the account and turning his face, the one who offended was not the former minister in charge, but many, many people.

It's also my fault that Jia Liu didn't pay attention. I was busy going through the formalities just now, but I didn't think to check the accounts of my predecessor. Now it's all right, and the 170,000 taels shortfall is his.

Besides, if he really checked the account, there is no way to check the account.

Because, this huge deficit was not left by the previous manager, but by many managers.

How to check this?
The issues left over from history are not as simple as checking the deficit.

Why none of the previous ministers in charge disclosed the financial problems left by their predecessors has already explained the problem.

It is very likely that it was only a few thousand taels short at the beginning, and in the end, it accumulated over time and became the astronomical figure today.In the end, when this astronomical figure gets bigger and bigger and becomes a serious social problem, then whoever is the last receiver will be the one to take the blame.

Don't blame the predecessors, this is the rule.

Niang Xipi!
Looking at the thick pile of ledgers, Jia Liu thought to himself that the goddamn reason must force him to pry the big gold teeth in Emperor Shengzuren's mouth.

"My lord, the deficit is a bit bigger, but some are eager to pay back, and some are not eager to pay back"

Like a master of Shaoxing, Del Liang gave advice to the new minister in charge. According to him, more than [-] taels needed to be settled urgently, because the creditors behind these accounts had backgrounds and could not be offended.

Some are simply ignored, such as the expenses of previous ministers in charge entertaining past imperial envoys and officials.

At the end of looking through the account according to what Delwang said, Jia Liu suddenly discovered that Jingling's entertainment expenses over the years had reached more than [-] taels.

That is to say, the money owed for food and drink is as high as more than one-third of the deficit.

"How did you eat so much silver?"

Jia Liu was shocked by the cost of food and drink, which can be converted into RMB to get 50 million.

The dragon liver and phoenix gall that these guys eat are not enough!

Thinking about how he has been clean and honest since he became an official, he strictly demands on himself with only four dishes and one soup for each meal. It was unbearable.

Delwang explained that it is true that Jingling is a cold-water yamen, but every year the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs send people to inspect it, and other yamen also come, so the cost of welcoming them is too much .

Fortunately, in the early years, all expenses can be reported.

However, the situation has been severe in the past ten years, and the treasury has no money, so it is difficult to report the expenses.

For example, 10,000 taels should be reported, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs only approves 2000 taels at most. What about the remaining 8000 taels?
We can only tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall and move it to use. As a result, more and more money is moved, forming a huge deficit of 170,000 taels today.

"Which debts should be settled urgently?"

If he is not in his position, he will not seek his own government, but in his position he must do things. Since the predecessors owed so much money, it is unreasonable for Mr. Jia to deny it.

Then prepare to go through the program,

Just look at how much money has been allocated from above this year, and then continue to move like the predecessors.

He can be fooled for as long as he can, as long as this matter doesn't explode in his office.

He Shen said that Qianlong would come to Yeling in the second half of the year, and after entertaining the old man, he might be able to leave this poor place by then.

Just as Delvan was about to say, there was noise outside, mixed with women's yelling and cursing.

This made Jia Liu lose his face immediately, since the new officials took office, these guys don't want to give gifts, so what's the matter, can't they show him off?

It turned out that it wasn't that the following guys wanted to show the "color" to Director Jia, but the nearby shops and restaurants, including the unit responsible for road and engineering maintenance for Jingling, knew that the new chief minister had taken office, and they all ran over to ask for money. up.

There are project fees, hospitality fees, fruit and vegetable supply fees, and incense burner fees.
I don't know if there is any girl's youth loss fee or something.

More than a hundred people came here in a chaotic manner, one by one clamoring outside to see the chief manager, and the Eight Banners soldiers guarding the mausoleum may be short-sighted, short-handed, or some money is their own at all, so He didn't force it, he shouted that the important place of the yamen should not be noisy, but he kept putting people in his hands.

Seeing that something was wrong, Delwan was going to go out to chase away people.

Jia Liu thought for a while, but went out to meet these creditors, and didn't say anything to these excited creditors, as long as the two children brought by the family made records for these creditors.

It is to register one by one, so that he can check against the ledger later.

"I just took office, and I am not familiar with many situations, but since you are here, I will definitely not just drive you away like this. There are too many bills, and I can't hear what everyone says. , I can’t make sense, how about this, why don’t you all report the account to the official, and then I will act according to the account, as long as the official is in office for one day, everyone will find a way to clear the account for everyone.”

What he said was affectionate, righteous, and justified.

It actually means "wait for it".

Jia Liu was born with experience in dealing with these people, and occasionally said a few words that moved the creditors, and he had the image of Jia Qingtian.

For these debtors, Jia Liu Yemen cleared them, some were really urgent and real debts, and some were huge debts.

For example, the supply of Jingling melons, fruits, vegetables and daily necessities, he can solve it later, after all, there is not much money.

But some creditors, I'm sorry, I will definitely not return you when you come to me. After all, there is an IOU and a project.

But exactly when you will have money is another matter.

But don't worry!
I have such a big unit, it is impossible not to pay back the money!

After a good deal of appeasement, after sending off the creditors first, Jia Liu immediately held a meeting of officials above rank six.

The meeting went straight to the point.

That is, what engineering projects in Jingling need to be repaired.

When the chief minister asked this question, all the officials of the eight banners, big and small, got excited and said dozens of things without blinking their eyes. Of course, some of them flattered the need to rebuild the general manager's yamen, and by the way, repair the staff dormitory.

Jia Liu ordered Delwang to record this matter as a key point. As a leading cadre, improving the living environment for subordinates is the most popular and effective thing.

Let's talk about the rest.

At this time, Ha Tu, who was in charge of the defense of the mausoleum, got up and said, "My lord, according to the inspection of the subordinate officials, there is a possibility of water seepage in the underground palace of Emperor Sheng Zuren. This matter should be reported to the Ming court by my lord, and we can deal with it as soon as possible."

Hey!
At first glance, this Hatu is loyal to the country.

Jia Liu's head came immediately, and motioned for Ha Tu to explain in detail.

　On these two special days, the chapter says that no comments will be displayed.
