Bu,...Tan Zhuo explained that the reason why the grain bank acted as the county treasury's account was that the accounts were cleared and the treasury officials guarded and stole the accounts and set up the account books indiscriminately. [Read the latest chapter] Treasury officials are considered "public officials." They also form gangs, and the county magistrate will take action even if he wants to deal with them. When you work as an agent for a grain bank, it is a purely commercial relationship between the two parties. One is one and the other is two. There is no need to worry too much. Second, revenue and expenditure should be separated and financial expenditures should be clear and clear. Not easily controlled by subordinate staff. Moreover, the grain bank pays the money based on the county magistrate's handwriting, and it is difficult for others to encroach. If the third grain bank collects the money on its behalf, many of the disadvantages of the grain depot when paying grain and taxes can be eliminated, which is a move that is convenient and beneficial to the people.
When collecting grain, you need to collect rice. But in addition to rice consumption, there are all kinds of tricks when paying grain. Is this the benefit of being in a grain depot? In the grain depot, everyone from the warehouse clerk to the warehouse clerk and signer will get benefits from it. The simplest thing is to be picky about beige when receiving cash. Whether beige is good or bad depends solely on visual inspection. There is no standard, so you can be picky. If there are no additional benefits, it means either that the beige color is too complex, or that it is not dry enough and will not be accepted.
Grain households cannot pay their grain bills. I can only wait in vain in the county. As time goes by, you will lose your job. Also add expenses. Therefore, grain farmers can only obey.
"Take autumn grain as an example. Grain farmers directly hand over the grain to the grain store. It eliminates the need for all kinds of inventory records by the subordinates in the grain depot. That's it." Isn't it a good thing for you, sir, to win the hearts of the people? .
"Don't you collect on behalf of others and you won't make this happen? Aren't all of you Australians saints? Even if you are all saints, you can't guarantee that your subordinates will have such a thing. Wu Mingjin has become very excited. These days The incident greatly stimulated his self-esteem. As a local official, he “has the responsibility to protect the land. My sense of responsibility suddenly exploded.
"Mr. Wu has been a local official for a long time. Naturally, he has seen many disadvantages. Yan Ming said calmly, "I cannot afford to be called a saint. but. What we have done in this county is probably obvious to the whole county. No need for oaths, facts speak louder than words
Wu Mingjin didn't understand what "weaving shit is better than bear shit." But the Crossing Group really kept its word during its one year in Lingao. Actions must bear fruit, no offense to the common people, buy and sell equally. It is also a clean and easy process to summon large-scale scholars to open accounts and apportion "reasonable burdens". There has never been any case of staff taking the opportunity to extort money. Wu Mingjin saw and heard a lot of these deeds on weekdays. Know that what he said is true. For a moment it was irrefutable.
Seeing that he had nothing to say, Yan Ming explained to him the specific methods one by one? Specifically, the county no longer manages the grain depot. There are only one or two subordinate staff in the grain depot, who are only responsible for the registration and creation of accounts. Delong is responsible for the specific custody, collection, and delivery.
The taxes paid by the grain farmers were paid directly to the counters of the Delong Grain Store. The county government sent people to hand out grain strings directly to the counters in Delong.
The taxes received, whether in grain or money, were deposited into a public account opened by the county government in Delong. From now on, whenever the county needs to pay for food support. You can just write a check and withdraw it at Delong.
Delong will also give the county government a certain credit line. Within a certain range, even if there is no money in the account, it can be temporarily advanced and returned later. When the time comes, Delong's listing interest will be paid with favorable interest rates.
In addition to the county government opening a general account, various departments in the county can also open accounts as long as the county magistrate approves. Xiang County School now has a special account in Delong.
As for the property handed over by the county, as long as the county issues a check, Delong will go to various places to deliver it. Of course, there will be a small handling fee, but it is compared to the various fees required in the past. How much to save?
Wu Mingjin felt hesitant. This method sounds good. However, in this way, all financial circulation in the county will fall into the hands of the Australians - which he cannot and dare not agree to. If the Australians run away one day, who will they go to to ask for money and food from the county treasury? Seeing that he refused to answer, Yan Ming thought that he was afraid that his annual regular income would not be guaranteed, so he immediately signaled: The stipulated benefits that several gentlemen in the county deserve from the grain tax every year will not be less, and You can remit money remotely to your hometown.
This benefit was sternly rejected by Wu County Magistrate. No matter how eloquent Yan Ming is, he can't convince Magistrate Wu to agree to this matter?
Yan Ming went back dejectedly and reported to Bu De.
"This is also a reasonable thing." Gao De said. "He's probably not willing to take this kind of risk." He thought for a while. "Anyway, he has to agree to this matter if he agrees to it. He has to agree to it if he disagrees. He called Xiong Bucai over and handed him a stack of materials.
"Go and talk to Wang Zhaomin and show him some of Si Mian's materials. Let him be a lobbyist."
"Since we have Wu Mingjin's information, why don't we just give it to me and make him submit on the spot?" Yan Ming was puzzled.
"Wu Mingjin is not an ordinary corrupt and stupid official, and he still has a little bit of integrity. You use this on the spot to force him to submit. You are embarrassed and angry. Instead of being sharp in the afternoon, you will rise up to attack Wang Zhao. Long is saving face. Things will be easier to handle
"I see
"You have to be careful when coercing others to do things, especially local magistrates. They have been arrogant and arrogant since ancient times. You, an ordinary citizen, have to put pressure on him. When you become angry, you will easily go to extremes. So the more you use your hands, There are cards in it, so you have to leave more room for words when speaking, lest the other party tries to kill you, and you won't get anything, and you might even suffer a loss.
"Ade, you have so many tricks up your sleeve. After all, you are someone who has been in the officialdom!"
"hehe". Dodd laughed. "I am not a person who has been in the officialdom, but I have seen a lot and summarized my experience. Just wait for the good news from Xiong Bucai on this matter.
The matter was settled quickly. Wang Zhaomin's expression changed immediately after seeing some of the materials that Xiong Buyou brought. Early the next morning, Xiong Buyou was found by Master Wang while he was resting in the county government office.
"Dong Weng has taken care of it, and the county treasury's grain depot and bank account are all represented by Todelon." Wang Zhaomin said: "This matter cost me a lot of time."
"Thank you, Master Wang." Xiong Bucai complimented and handed him an envelope. "That's not necessary."
. Wang Zhaomin declined and said with a wry smile. "This kind of thing is really difficult to handle." He shook his head, "I don't want the benefits anymore. In the future, it's better for you to handle things like this by forcing others to do so."
"Master Wang is a man who can work hard." Xiong Buyou still pushed the envelope over. Since Master Wang took a concubine, not only his body and bones have been a little strained, but his expenses have also increased greatly. Who would have expected that there are so many novelties that women like in Dongmen City? Woolen cloth! The Operations Department of the General Administration of Political Security also placed spies around Wang Zhaomin's concubine. From time to time, he lured the woman to spend money. Master Wang also fell into the "trading coupon trap."
Seeing that Wang Zhaomin no longer refused, Xiong Buyou continued: "Since Delong is acting as the county treasury, I also ask Master Wang to take care of the trumpet in the future." He motioned for him to open the envelope.
When Wang Zhaomin opened it, there was indeed a delicate hard-surfaced folder and an ox horn stamp inside. Wang Zhaomin is from Nanzhi and has traveled to many places. Knowing that this is a deposit, the folding stamp is used to keep stamps when depositing and withdrawing. As usual, this kind of Zhezi recognizes the seal but not the person.
Open it and take a look. The words "Zhao Ji" are written on the folded paper in regular regular script. The words "1,000 yuan in grain circulation coupons" have been registered below. This is a benefit to yourself.
There are indeed many benefits! Wang Zhaomin thought. I can probably buy the Australian perfume, lipstick and nail polish that my little wife has always wanted. And the Lanling wine that I love to drink is not sold here at all. Recently it has been sold in Dongmen City.
A smile couldn't help but appear on his face. There was a fold and a stamp in the envelope, and he knew it without opening it. This is for the owner. Although Australians are a little reckless in doing things, they are also careful when it comes to things, especially not to make things difficult for the people doing things. Wang Zhaomin admired this very much.
“Too rude
"Any official business must involve expenses. This is also a certain rule of officialdom. I wonder how much it needs to be played?" Xiong Bu estimated that he learned and sold the unspoken rules of officialdom by listening to the lecture on social conditions.
"Haha, Brother Xiong has been here for a long time. He has also begun to follow the local customs. Wang Zhaomin said with a smile, "If other people wanted to do this on weekdays, they wouldn't be able to do it so smoothly without a thousand silver. Originally, it was difficult to get things done at Guangchenmingwang without the embellishment of one hundred taels of silver. Now"
Now the subordinate officials who were trying to extort the fees have either been arrested or have become frightened by the news, so there is no need to spend the money.
"There is only so much porridge in one pot. If there are too many people scooping it out, doesn't it mean that there is not enough for everyone?"
"This is exactly what Wang Zhaomin originally said when he went to see Wu Mingjin today. Now listening to Xiong Buyou's words, they can continue to "scoop porridge" in the future. Not only can they scoop, but they can also scoop more, and he can't help but feel refreshed. He I remember something. Ask:
“Does Delong have joint numbers in Qiongzhou and Guangzhou, or will he have a semi-colon in the future?
"Semicolons must be set. Currently, banknotes are temporarily accepted by local large-scale shops. "Can bulk exchange be done? "
"It can be done with less than three to fifty thousand taels."
"That's enough. Wang Zhaomin nodded. But he didn't say what he was asking for. He stood up and said, "Please come to my study."
It's called a study, but there isn't even a book in it. There is a desk by the window, except for the pen and inkstone, it is an abacus and account books. There is a locked, extremely thick wooden cabinet next to it. He opened it and took out a prayer box, took out a piece of paper from the prayer box and handed it to Xiong Buyou.
"I've prepared everything for Mr. Xiong. I'll fill in Delong's name and ask the shop owner to make a guarantee, and then Delong can act as the county treasury agent."! ~!
