"Why do you guys just judge your sincerity based on value?" Sheng Yuan saw that after the two heads of the family named Ruan gritted their teeth and promised to give away 10% of the bonus from their own medicine shop, others also bit the bullet and increased their prices accordingly. Throwing away the folding fan, he shook it gently and smiled.
As soon as she said these words, all the family heads were so angry that three souls were angry and seven souls roared.
Which one just explicitly hinted at a price increase? !
Now you are mocking them for only seeing profit? !
It’s all her fault for co-authoring it!
Even though these family heads had not heard of the definition of "final interpretation", they understood the true meaning of this definition under Shengyuan's stimulation.
Everyone even suspected that the new governor was talking to them with the purpose of fighting without bloodshed.
No matter how you look at it, you feel like this person is planning to piss them off to death!
The heads of the Eight and Twelve Families have always been proud of their qi-nurturing skills. At this moment, they are still struggling to protect their sanity. However, the cold-faced Fu Yin just now turned into a talkative one.
"As the saying goes, 'Fucheng is our home, and its protection depends on everyone. Although I am the chief official of a house and the head of a big family in Fucheng, no family can be supported by the family head's own strength. Only when everyone in the family works towards each other and works together can the family be prosperous and peaceful for a long time.”
Among the scheming heads of the Eight and Twelve Families, who has the deepest authority in the city, it is certainly You Sui.
He has always been good at being obedient and obedient. When Zhang Si remarked, "This city is our home, and it depends on everyone to protect it," he had already heard the clues in Sheng Yuan's words.
But even for such a master who has more eyes than his pores, he almost vomited blood when he heard the last words.
Yes, the people often call grass-roots officials "parent officials", and grass-roots officers are often called "old parents, old masters", but these are all complimentary titles from others.
But not many chief officers have the nerve to be shy, pat their chests and call others "I am your father", right? !
For a moment, You Sui couldn't help but guess the exact thickness of Xin Fu Yin's face.
In an unfamiliar place, in front of a group of local cowards who are about the same age as her father, she talks calmly with a "dad to son" attitude. Who can meet such a master and not say "talent" ”!
What's even more irritating is that what gives him more headaches than meeting talented people who can cause trouble is that there is an idiot among his teammates who is nodding.
Even if you are flattering, you have to choose your time, right? Brother Jin!
Even though most of the allies stood with him, You Tuo still felt that "the team really can't be carried".
"...I will not hide it from you. I first came to the local government as an official. I originally had great ambitions. However, the time is not right. The most important thing for Shou'an City right now is to develop steadily and help the imperial army defend the border city. When necessary, Resist and counterattack the foreign barbarian army. Therefore, I do not want to disturb the tranquility here... However, I am not a dull person. If someone wants to "defend An City randomly to help the foreign barbarians attack the border, then don't blame me." Be cruel!"
Sheng Yuan's words were indeed very rude, but everyone who was already furious suddenly calmed down.
It seems that their purpose of coming here this time... can be achieved!
Thinking of this, the eyes of everyone who were a little restless instantly brightened.
"May I ask Lord Fu Yin, how can we commoners do our part for the city?"
The person in power named Fan couldn't wait to express his position.
You Tuo stroked his forehead gently: "Very good, Peng Er'er has appeared."
Sheng Yuan nodded to the other party with satisfaction and clasped his fingers on the banknote: "Isn't this your contribution as the people of Fucheng?
I have never relied on charity from outsiders for my good clothing and food; on the contrary, the development of the city requires everyone to work together and contribute their modest efforts.
Who makes the city miserable and the government so poor? "
Speaking of this, Sheng Yuan sighed seriously: "I'm not afraid of you guys' jokes. The head of the former household showed me a brochure. The amount of silver that everyone in the Shou'an City government office can use is only a few hundred taels.
These
The amount of silver sounds like a lot, but in fact it is not enough to pay the annual salary of the subordinate officials and government servants hired by the government at their own expense!
If the government office has no money, how can the city run in an orderly manner?
At this point, even if I am determined to maintain the status quo of Ancheng, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to make a meal without rice! "
When more than a dozen family heads heard this, they all understood.
You Sui blinked. For a moment, he seemed to see Master Fu Yin showing his fangs.
Zhang Si snorted quietly.
This female governor said a lot of things, but in the final analysis, she wanted them to bear the government operating expenses?
Although some lions are open-mouthed, if they can really use silver to buy a break, they may not be unable to accept it.
He was a little moved, but the Jia brothers were a little worried.
Is it so easy to share the running costs of government offices?
If they only provide salaries and benefits to government officials, even if they are increased three to five times, their family alone can afford it!
But the question is, the operating expenses of a government office are not only personnel salaries, food expenses, office losses, publicity expenses, awards and benefits?
Should Fucheng be developed? Where do the costs for development come from?
Does Fucheng need vitality? If it cannot develop, how can it attract and tap talents to join?
Does Fucheng need to be safe? The threat of Ajong and Nuerhan is not far away, and crises of floods, heavy rains, and droughts are also very common. Which one does not require money for the construction of city walls, the construction and maintenance of dams and reservoirs, and the repair of post roads? How much money does this government service require?
More importantly, Shou'an City is a border town. Border patrols, border residents' drills, weapons manufacturing, war horse recruitment, intelligence maintenance... each of these things requires money!
If this is calculated, unless the risk of war is eliminated, otherwise, they have worked hard for a whole year, but in the end they have to contribute to the government with their own expenses!
Even when they were just starting out, they had never done anything like working for free.
"...Since you are willing to be loyal to the imperial court and do your part for your hometown, I can't refuse you thousands of miles away. After all, I have no right to object to everyone's loyalty to the country!"
Sheng Yuan, who had to act cheaply, felt that he had laid the groundwork, and said more frankly: "I am not the one who only enjoys the benefits and refuses to share them with you. So, I don't ask how much money is in the government account." Silver, no matter how much the running costs are, as long as the city can operate in an orderly manner, advance to support sister cities, retreat to resist foreign barbarians, the people's lives can be considered passable, and the order and atmosphere are improving, then I will not care about certain things. In every detail, we strive to achieve a win-win situation for everyone, everyone... what do you think?"
Sheng Yuan asked about the attitude of these leaders, but they felt that she was not a good person.
She is the official in charge of the palace, so she doesn't plan to pay even a penny, yet she keeps making so many demands!
This kind of shameless skill has probably reached the pinnacle level!
The family heads, who were cursing in their hearts, hesitated for a long time and finally chose to cooperate.
After all the twists and turns, I finally reached my original goal.
They probably aren't at a loss either... right? !
