The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 262

The handover work between Feng Ziying and Jiao Li and Zhao Dahai took three days before it was over.

At first, Jia Min and others thought that the handover would take half a day and it would be over.That's what Zhao Dahai told him at the time.

However, the more handover, the more problems are found in it.As a result, the staff was increased, and some accounts had to be checked.

Not only are the accounts incomplete, but the establishment of many subjects is also very chaotic, the account records are not standardized, the reimbursement procedures are incomplete, and there are many problems in the figures.

The account does not match the account, the account does not match the thing, the account does not match the person, and the account does not match the bill.All in all it's a mess.

The final result is natural, and that is a huge financial deficit.Only the shortfalls detected so far total more than 800 taels.It is almost equivalent to the imperial court appropriating funds for Bu Kui for a year.

At present, I still owe soldiers, some clerks, and government servants four months' salary, a total of more than 400 taels, and the rest is owed to merchants.

Of course, according to their original accounts, the deficit is not so much, only about 2000 taels, and there are more than [-] taels, which are owed to the yamen from outside and belong to accounts receivable.Originally, Zhao Dahai and Dianshi Yang Lin did not take out this part of the creditor's rights. Later, seeing Feng Ziying's denial of the shortfall, they took it out.

Even so, it is not easy to recover these debts.Some people died, some people disappeared, in short, most of them are bad debts and bad debts.

You can't take back what you owe, but you have to give what you owe.Some materials, river workers, government servants, Lifu, soldiers, etc., all have to be paid back.

In fact, it’s okay to pay it back, or even to renege on the debt.However, as a first-level yamen, if this is really done, the impact on the yamen will be huge.

It's not just a loss of image, the key is that you lose your credibility, and no one will believe you if you say anything in the future.

Even if you tell the truth in the future, others will think it is a lie.Even if you do good things, others think you do bad things.

For the inside of the yamen, if soldiers and yamen servants can't get money, it will naturally affect their morale.It is quite normal to find no one when employing people, or even though people come, but they are passive, slow down, do not work hard, and do not work hard, etc., are all normal phenomena.

These people also want to survive, and they are not prisoners. There is no reason to work hard for you.The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers.

For Jia Min, there is such a huge deficit in the Yamen that many things that he wants to do cannot be done at all.It's hard to move without money.

Therefore, in order for the Yamen to function normally in the future, it is necessary to solve the deficit problem.

It is not impossible to solve the deficit problem.However, how to solve it, there is a lot of tricks in it.

Jia Min brought a lot of money with him this time.The money can be divided into several parts.

One is the travel expenses of the five hundred prisoners, which are paid by the Ministry of Punishment.Although this part of the money is not much, Jia Min spent a lot of money on the prisoner's food.However, since the time spent on the road was greatly shortened, overall, Jia Min did not put much money on it, and the total was only more than 200 taels of silver.

For him, this loss is negligible.If he loses, he loses, and he doesn't want to come back.

The second part of the money is the funding that the Ministry of War gave to the Fu Corps for this year.Because there is no special equipment such as firearms, this part of the military expenditure has not exceeded the budget.

If you want to make up for the shortfall, you can take out this part of the money.However, the risk of doing so is also great.If any political opponent wants to punish Jia Min in this regard, it will be enough for him to drink a pot.

Therefore, this path is actually not feasible.There is no need for Jia Min to take risks on this.

The third part of the money is the money of the Fubingtuan.This part of the money was paid by various governments, but most of it was earned by Jia Min through training.

It is also inappropriate to use this money.Although he used it, no one said anything, but he didn't want to set this precedent.

The other part of the money is Jia Min's own private money.There is still more than 7 taels of this part of the money.

To make up for the shortfall, that is, to take this part of the money, is the safest way.

In this way, Jia Min not only came to the unlucky place of Bu Kui, but also took over a mess.

Of course there was a reason for the shortfall, but Zhao Dahai and Yang Lin pushed the responsibility for the shortfall to the former defenseman Qian Delu.

Qian Delu died in August last year, so he was probably responsible for the shortfall. However, Zhao Dahai may not be irresponsible as he himself said.

It's just that Qian Delu is dead, and some accounts need to be checked, which is very troublesome.Of course, if Jia Min wants to investigate, there is a way. If Zhao Dahai and Yang Lin are really responsible, it is difficult to escape.

However, now that he has just taken over Bu Kui, he still needs to consider a stability issue, trying to achieve a smooth transition without causing huge shocks.

In the end, Jia Min decided to take out his own money to make up for the shortfall first, and then slowly settle accounts with Zhao Dahai and Yang Lin.When there is money in the yamen in the future, just return it to yourself.

From now on, it is up to oneself to make decisions here. If the yamen has no money, he should pay the money.

"Officer Min, are you really planning to do this?"

Feng Ziying asked.

"That's it. We don't have any more time to wait. If it continues like this, many things will not be done."

"Trainer Chen, how many of our troops are in the camp?"

"Both the first battalion and the third battalion are here."

"Okay, take someone to announce that you will pay the veterans back and get the money from Ping'er. Ask Battalion Commander Jia to take the roster and call out all the veterans, and check them one by one. They will be dealt with according to the vacant quota and will be removed on the spot. If they are disabled, they will be asked to report immediately for verification. Those who do not report will be removed."

"Officers and soldiers of the Fubing Corps are on alert. If any veterans make trouble, they will be suppressed immediately. Those who dare to use weapons will be killed."

"Jiao Quartermaster, you go with Zhao Dahai and tell me what I said. Dian Shi Yang Lin will be dismissed, and he will go home to reflect and wait for investigation. You will take over the affairs that Yang Lin is in charge of. Ask Zhao Dahai to announce. If Zhao Dahai doesn't follow, you will Take off the confinement."

"Chief of Staff Feng, isn't there already evidence of Zhong Ding's lack of pay here? You go and announce that Zhong Ding has been dismissed pending investigation. You will also be the first assistant leader. From tomorrow, the first assistant will be in accordance with our regulations." Training according to the training standards. Those who resist will be severely punished.”

"As for Zhao Dahai, Yang Lin, and Zhong Ding, let's see how they behave in the future. If they behave well, we can consider giving them a way out. If they are obedient and obedient, they treat us like children and fools, so there is no need to follow us. They're polite."

"Lin Dajiang, you are responsible for paying those clerks and government servants. Follow the method of Chief Trainer Chen, and also check according to the roster. All vacant ones will be cleared. Let's start."

Four months of payment was in arrears, and when Jia Min came, he paid for it with his own money.It is good to be able to receive the money, so there was no commotion among the veterans and scribes.On the contrary, they all thanked Jia Min.

The action to clear the empty space, .Originally thought it might cause a rebound, in fact, this worry is completely unnecessary.Not only did it not cause a backlash, on the contrary, many soldiers of the first officer came out to expose who was paid for nothing.

Of course, the fact that they dared to come forward to expose the case was also related to Zhong Ding's dismissal from his position.Regarding the training of the first assistant tomorrow, no officers and soldiers stood up to object.

Zhao Dahai didn't want to announce Yang Lin's dismissal by himself, but seeing Jiao Li's unfriendly tone and Jia Min's order, he obeyed.

Originally, he wanted to put pressure on Jia Min to pay the arrears, but as soon as Jia Min paid the soldiers, he knew that the situation was over and he had lost control of the team.

Jia Min's official position is orthodox, his name is justified, he has a large number of people, his soldiers are strong, and he can pay the soldiers. It is obvious how the soldiers choose.

Zhao Dahai had some reason to think so.However, he failed to find the root cause.

The arrears of soldiers' salaries itself violated the vital interests of soldiers.Those who blatantly pay for nothing are the injustices that happened around them. How can the soldiers be balanced in their hearts?Now that Jia Min came out to make corrections, it was exactly what they wished for. Why would they support you just because they have been with you for a longer time?

The first Zuo Zuo leader Zhong Ding was released from the confinement room only yesterday.The matter of confinement made him lose face a lot. Unexpectedly, the matter of empty pay was exposed again.

Naturally, he was very dissatisfied with his dismissal, so he howled to see Jia Min, but no one ignored his request, so Zhong Ding made a move that he regretted for the rest of his life.

He thought that he would still have appeal to his subordinates, so he ordered the first assistant to mutiny and come out to fight desperately with the soldiers of the government corps.

"Brothers of the first assistant, we are all old people in Bukui. Bukui is our world. They are newcomers who want to bully us when they first came. Let's fight them and drive them out of Bukui. .”

At this time Zhao Dahai also came here, and seeing what Zhong Ding said, he knew that something was wrong.

This idiot, isn't this clearly inciting mutiny?
To say mutiny is still light, and to say that you are a rebel is also justified.

So I wanted to stop Zhong Ding.

"Zhong Ding, what nonsense are you talking about? Why don't you apologize to the chief of staff?"

Zhong Ding is domineering and domineering at ordinary times, he is harsh and exploiting to his subordinates, arrogant and disrespectful to his superiors, he is used to being arrogant, now he is dismissed and has lost his mind, how can he listen to Zhao Dahai?

"Zhao Dahai, you coward, are you going to hand over Bu Kui's world to these kids like this? Do you want him to destroy the foundation we have worked so hard to build here for so many years? Brothers, Come out and fight them."

None of the soldiers of the first officer moved, just looked at him so coldly.

"Battle Commander Jia, take down this traitor."

Jia Lian had been waiting for Feng Ziying to speak for a long time, and immediately led several people to twist Zhong Ding.He handed over his saber and found his badge from his waist.

"Zhong Ding, you are rebellious, intending to instigate rebellion, and harboring different intentions, dare to say that Bu Kui is your world, do you still have the emperor in your eyes?"

When Feng Ziying said this, Zhao Dahai's heart went cold.

Now, Zhong Ding's crime is confirmed, and no one can save him.Even if General Ning Guta came forward, it would be even more difficult.

"Feng Ziying, please remember, my uncle will not let you go. General Ning Guta is my uncle, please remember!"

"I remember, put him down!"

Zhong Ding was still shouting, but was dragged away by Jia Lian and others.

Jia Min walked over slowly.

In fact, he had already seen this process on the sidelines.

"Officer Min, how to deal with Zhong Ding?"

"Interrogate, collect evidence, escort the imperial capital, and hand it over to the capital's procuratorate. Oh, and also, search his residence."

After Jia Min finished speaking, he left as if nothing had happened.
