Lu Tao deliberately pondered for a while before he said in an embarrassed tone: "Director Cai, Pei Pei told me on the phone that the subsidy funds for the construction of new rural areas in poor villages are all a radish and a pit, and they have already been budgeted, and there will be no more when the indicators are used up." Moreover, it is already late July, and the various rural financial subsidies for the second half of this year have already been allocated in place, and it is impossible to make a separate budget for Taolin County, and it is estimated that she has no other way to think of it. ”

Chen Pei had been listening to his conversation with Cai Changming with his ears, and when he heard the last few words, a smile of approval and satisfaction appeared on his face.

Cai Changming saw that there seemed to be no hope in his words, so his voice changed in a hurry, and he said in a begging tone: "Xiao Lu, you must ask Team Leader Chen to give us a way first! We came to the Provincial Department of Finance this time to win 10 million yuan in support funds for the construction of the new countryside. This 10 million yuan of support funds was promised to us by Feng Linfeng, the former director of the budget department, in January, saying that he would definitely make a budget for us in the second half of the year, and Li Tao, the deputy director at that time, also agreed. Unexpectedly, after Director Feng's accident, Li Tao didn't admit it, and the new director Fang Xin simply didn't see us.

"This morning, we reported this matter to Secretary Luo Qiulin, and Secretary Luo said: 'The new official ignores the old thing', which is understandable, our 10 million was promised by the original director Feng Linfeng, and it is normal for Fang Xin not to admit it. However, Taolin County is now in a critical period of poverty alleviation, and the new rural construction of poor villages is in urgent need of support funds, and the county's finances are now extremely tight, and it cannot get a penny of financial funds to help poor villages, so it can only try to win from the Provincial Department of Finance.

"Therefore, in the morning, Secretary Luo asked me to make a military order for him, no matter what method is used, this time I must get a subsidy from the Provincial Department of Finance to go back, even if it is one million yuan, it can also help several poor villages. Later, we went to visit Deputy Director Mao, who had withdrawn from the line, and he told us that it was definitely impossible to obtain 10 million yuan in subsidy funds, but we could strive for a provincial financial subsidy target for the construction of a new countryside in a poor village, with 2.85 million yuan. Moreover, he also knew that under normal circumstances, the budget chief would have one or two mobile indicators in his hands, and we could find a way to get one.

Deputy Director Mao also told us: like this kind of financial subsidy funds related to rural construction, the provincial department will generally leave room when making the budget, that is to say, even if the mobile indicators in the hands of the budget director are all used up, in case there are important leaders to greet the indicators, the budget department can also temporarily increase the budget, but this increased budget must be reported to the department leaders for approval. Xiao Lu, do you understand?"

Lu Tao said: "Understood, I'll call Chen Pei again!"

Then, he hung up the phone and repeated Cai Changming's words to Chen Pei.

Chen Pei smiled and said: "The leader of your county finance bureau is so naïve, and he doesn't want to think about it: the subsidy fund of 10 million yuan in Taolin County was promised by the original director Feng Linfeng, how can the new director admit the account? What's more, Feng Linfeng was still dismissed because of corruption and bribery, and among the stolen money he embezzled, maybe there was a gift money from your Taolin County Finance Bureau. Although Li Tao also promised at the beginning, but now in order to avoid suspicion and at the same time to prevent the new director from thinking about him, he will definitely not admit it! They are still asking for this 10 million yuan subsidy, isn't it that his head is in water?"

Lu Tao asked: "You didn't know anything about Feng Linfeng's promise of a subsidy of 10 million to Taolin County?"

Chen Pei shook his head and said: "At that time, I was not the leader of the county and township group, but just the chief clerk of the office, I definitely didn't know about such a thing! Besides, Feng Linfeng is a person who has to pluck the feathers of geese, and he promised to give Taolin County 10 million subsidy funds, I suspect that it was your Taolin County Finance Bureau that gave him a big gift, or it was taken care of before, in short, he would not unconditionally agree to allocate funds to Taolin County.

"Feng Linfeng knows that I am a rigid person, and he will never go along with him to collect money, and he is even more afraid that I will tell my father about these things, so even if I was the leader of the rural group at the beginning, he would not first tell me that he promised to give Taolin County 10 million yuan. Of course, these are all my guesses, maybe I have wronged the people of your county finance bureau, so I hope you don't talk about these things to a third person again. ”

Lu Tao nodded, and the two beautiful faces of Xia Bingbing and Zhang Yaling suddenly appeared in his mind, with a mocking smile on his face: "Pei Pei, Feng Linfeng promised to give Taolin County 10 million, maybe not necessarily for money." Do you remember the two pretty sisters-in-law who drank tea with us in the box last night?"

Chen Pei looked at him a little surprised, nodded and said, "Remember, one surnamed Zhang is Zhang Wenqing's cousin, who seems to be the director of the office of your county finance bureau, and the other surnamed Xia is the head of the budget unit." What's the matter? Could it be that Feng Linfeng has some ambiguous relationship with them?"

Lu Tao said with a smile: "I also heard some rumors that there are two beautiful women in the county finance bureau, and they have a very good relationship with some leaders of the provincial finance department, so Taolin County can get some more funds from the provincial department every year." It is said that when Xia Bingbing and Zhang Yaling were promoted, they were greeted by leaders of the provincial department. These things are spreading in the financial and taxation system of Taolin County, and they should not be groundless. ”

Chen Pei didn't want to discuss these gossips and rumors with Lu Tao, so after thinking for a while, he said: "You call Cai Changming back, just say that I will ask Director Fang and Deputy Director Li out for dinner tonight, and if there are any requirements, please ask them to raise them face to face with the two leaders, and I will try my best to help them." ”

Lu Tao knew that as long as Chen Pei asked Fang Xin for an indicator, Fang Xin would definitely agree to her, and the so-called face-to-face request was just a cover-up, so he quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed Cai Changming's number.

After the phone was connected, Lu Tao relayed Chen Pei's words to him. When Cai Changming heard that Chen Pei promised to invite Fang Xin and Li Tao out for dinner, and was willing to help intercede, he laughed happily and thanked Lu Tao again and again.

At this time, a taxi was finally stopped by Lu Tao. Lu Tao was about to follow Chen Pei to the car, but Chen Pei shook his hand and said: "You didn't say that you were with me when you called just now, in case Cai Changming and others saw you sending me over at the door of the Finance Department, wouldn't it show that you were lying? I'll go alone, you take a taxi to the hotel to rest for an hour, and you go to my office at about four o'clock, and I'll take you to get to know Director Fang and Director Li." ”

Lu Tao hurriedly agreed, and after watching the taxi leave, he stopped another car and rushed to the hotel.

At four o'clock, Lu Tao rushed to the Provincial Department of Finance and found Chen Pei's office according to the room number Chen Pei told him. Chen Pei made him a cup of tea first, and after he took a few sips, he took him to Li Tao's office.
