Tan Junyan also believed that what Mr. Qi did this time was a bit foolish.
It’s okay if you contribute food and effort, why are you still thinking about spending money?
Could it be that now that he has become rich, he has started to use bean bags as dry food?
This is an act of throwing money away!
Tan Junyan asked stingily: "Sir, you don't love money?"
"How is that possible? Anyone who knows me well knows that I love money very much!" Qi Yu shook his head and defended himself.
Tan Junyan asked again: "Since you love money, why are you willing to give away money like this? No, it's just a sign of mercy?"
"This question is two questions."
"two?"
"good!"
Qi Yu's face straightened and he said: "It is human nature to cherish money and love money. No one can avoid this custom, even the wealthy businessmen are no exception. Qi is also a layman, how can he be independent? "
After a pause, he continued: "However, the funds used for this disaster relief are taxes collected from the people and are not my personal assets. I am now giving them back to the people. What's wrong with that?" ? So, loving money and throwing away coins, oh no, they are compassion and they are two different concepts."
Strictly speaking, Qi Yu's words lacked rigor.
The saying that it was taken from the people is indeed correct, but it was taken from the people of Qiongzhou, and now it is used on the people of Huguang. How can this be called feeding back?
However, if the concept of 'people' is raised to the level of the Chinese nation, this view can barely make sense.
Even so, Tan Junyan still didn't particularly approve.
You said, why should you give away the savings that you have worked so hard to save for free?
I really can’t bear it~~
Qi Yu thought for a moment and then enlightened him: "Brother Guangling, what do you think is the best way to show the greatest value of wealth?"
Tan Junyan was stunned when he heard this, "What? The greatest value of wealth...?"
Not to mention, this question really stupefied him.
Because he never thought about it at all.
Qi Yu smiled faintly and answered to himself: "As the saying goes, good steel must be used on the blade. Only in this way can the value of good steel be truly reflected. The same goes for the use of wealth. Good money must be spent. At the critical moment.”
After a pause, he continued: "The development of Qiongzhou is on the right track. Everything is prospering now and getting better day by day. Basically there is nothing to worry about. Under this situation, instead of leaving money to mold in the bank, it is better to It is better to use it to save human lives. Only in this way can the greatest value of wealth be reflected."
There seems to be some truth.
Okay, okay, let’s assume you’re right.
Although Tan Junyan still has criticisms, after all, he is a person who has held books from sages and has some understanding of the national justice.
The big framework has been negotiated, and now comes the details.
Let’s talk about the first question first.
Should the disaster relief materials and special funds provided by Qiongzhou Province be handed over to the Ministry of Household Affairs for distribution step by step, or should they be notified to the central government and then sent directly to the local government for local use?
Qi Yu believes that the latter should be chosen.
There are two reasons for this.
First of all, if it is handed over to the Ministry of Household Affairs and then allocated downwards, a lot of time will be wasted. Disaster relief is like putting out fires. It is really not advisable to look far away from the near.
Secondly, if it is divided level by level from top to bottom, there will be the expected layers of corruption. If you want to avoid this section, you can only try to go directly to the place.
However, in this case, even if the kicked-off household department and related officials were humiliated, their embarrassment would definitely spread to the ground.
The result is still that the effort is thankless.
Qi Yu thought it was okay. Since he had already made a bad face, why should he be afraid of being a little more bad?
If you want to be a bitch and build a memorial arch at the same time, it will definitely not work.
Okay, now that this matter is settled, let’s discuss the second issue.
How much should I pay?
That is, how much is good.
Qi Yu thinks that without using the gold reserves, all the silver stored can be moved out. Then, distribute it evenly to the victims in need.
Not gold, only silver?
oh……
Tan Junyan is no longer the Amon he used to be. He just thought about it briefly and figured out the intention.
Qiongzhou Province's current monetary system has evolved from the original metal coins to the current 'Asian dollar' banknotes. As a result, silver has become an alternative currency that is not commonly used. In short, it’s not much with it, and it’s not less without it.
However, the mainland of Dafeng is different. For now, silver is still one of the main currencies in circulation. If this is the case, why not use it as wealth to provide assistance?
The reason why gold reserves are not used is mainly due to the need to stabilize the exchange rate between the 'Asian dollar' and metal coins. If the precious metals at the bottom of the box are lost, there will inevitably be an unpleasant 'money' phenomenon.
The two discussed it for a while, but neither of them had any objections, so they settled on it.
Tan Junyan thought for a while and suddenly said: "Master Qi, there is still a difficult matter for you to decide."
"Oh? What's the matter? Tell me!"
"yes!"
"Silver ingots are a large amount of currency. How can we distribute them evenly into the hands of the people?"
"I didn't understand a bit. Please explain it more carefully."
"Okay! For example, there are a hundred thousand silver ingots in our family's treasury, but there are millions of people affected by the disaster. The two numbers do not match and are not equal at all. In this case, what should we do? How to distribute it?”
Hey, yes!
The numerator is too small and the denominator is too large. What should we do?
Qi Yu smacked his lips and said with a smile: "It's easy to do it. You can melt all the big silver ingots and then cast them into small ingots of about half a tael, and systematically break them into parts. There are no divisible quantities." Has it become more?”
Tan Junyan was shocked when he heard this and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Everyone melts fine silver ingots into big ingots, but how can anyone break big ingots into fine pieces?
Okay, okay, you are the boss and you have the final say.
Break it down into parts and that’s it!
At present, everything is ready, all it takes is an order to take action.
Before taking action, however, there are two important things to do.
The first is to pay close attention to the development trends of the locust plague to provide a reliable basis for subsequent disaster relief directions.
The other thing is to immediately write to the emperor to express his concern for the emperor.
It is impossible to lack the necessary procedures.
After everything was arranged properly, Qi Yu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Haha, we got it!
nailed it?
Yes!
No matter what color the cat is, if it works, it’s a good cat.
At this moment, a cicada's shout suddenly penetrated his ears.
It’s so noisy!
However, none of them are in my heart.
Night is night, an restless night.
If anyone scratches me, I will use it to apologize at the base.
