On Saturday morning, Lu Tao rushed to the Songshan Local Taxation Bureau by car and handed over the punishment appeal materials to Director Liu. Depressed, he didn't rush back to Taolin immediately, and spent two days at two attractions near Songshan District, and didn't return home until Sunday evening.

At eight o'clock the next morning, Lu Tao took a bus to Huaguang Village. What he didn't expect was that at the gate of the village department, he was greeted by Su Yaoguang and other village committees and some villager representatives, and more than a dozen people stood at the entrance of the village department in two lines.

Lu Tao was a little confused at first, standing about two meters away from the village gate, looking at the cheering villagers inexplicably, and didn't figure out what they were doing for a long time.

Seeing that he was a little confused, Su Yaoguang hurriedly walked over with a smile on his face, cordially held his hand, and said to the village cadres and villagers who were gathered around: "This time, in order to win funds for the renovation of the house style in our village, the Lu cadres have worked hard and spared no effort, and under almost impossible circumstances, they have won the precious one million yuan 'hat fund' from the budget department of the Provincial Department of Finance, and the renovation of the house style in our village can finally be put into action again." Come, let us once again express our heartfelt thanks to Cadre Lu with warm applause. ”

Lu Tao knew that they were standing here to welcome him, and he couldn't help but laugh a little, and at the same time he was slightly moved in his heart: it seems that the people in the village are more simple and enthusiastic, as long as the cadres sincerely do good things, do practical things, and solve problems for them, they will see it in their eyes and remember it in their hearts......

At noon, Su Yaoguang warmly invited Lu Tao to his house for dinner, and assured him that this dinner was his private invitation and would not use a penny of public funds in the village. When Lu Tao heard him say this, he thought he was going to have a light meal, but he didn't expect that this time Su Yaoguang prepared "luxury dishes" such as local chicken, soft-shelled turtle, and wolfberry stewed bullwhip, and called the main staff of the two committees of the village branch to accompany him, and the guest was Lu Tao, which moved him again......

In the next ten days, Lu Tao has been stationed in the village, planning and budgeting for the renovation of the house style with Su Yaoguang and others, helping them deal with some conflicts and disputes between villagers......

On this morning, Lu Tao was writing the "People's Diary" in the village department of Huaguang Village, when he suddenly received a call from Su Yaoguang, only to hear him ask anxiously: "Cadre Lu, do you know when our one million yuan of hat funds will be allocated from the Provincial Department of Finance?"

Lu Tao silently calculated the time and replied: "When I was in the provincial capital, I heard the leader of the Budget Department of the Department of Finance say that the 10 million subsidy fund in Taolin County can be allocated within a week. Now that I have been back from the provincial capital for more than ten days, the money should have been allocated to the county finance bureau long ago. ”

"Yes, yes, today I went to the county with Director Xiancan for a meeting, and I heard from the branch secretary of Shikeng Village that the allocation of the Provincial Finance Department has reached the Dalong Town Finance Office, and the 200,000 yuan road hardening fund in Shikeng Village has been allocated from the town finance office, why is there no news about our 100 yuan fund?"

Lu Tao hurriedly asked, "Have you called the director of the town finance office?"

"Just now I called the mobile phone of the director of the Finance Institute, but he never answered the phone. Otherwise, please ask the leaders of the county finance bureau first to see if the hat funds in our village have been allocated. ”

Lu Tao responded with a "yes", and immediately dialed Xia Bingbing's mobile phone after hanging up the phone, and asked Huaguang Village if the money had arrived in the town's finances?

Xia Bingbing was very surprised and said: "Hasn't the Dalong Town Finance Office allocated this money to the village yet? Our bureau allocated the 1.8 million yuan subsidy fund arranged to Dalong Town to the town finance office a week ago, and I also specially told Yu Gaoxin, director of the town finance office, that one million yuan was designated by the provincial finance department for Huaguang Village, and although it is not counted as a hat fund, it must be allocated to your village according to the agreement. Why, is the town still putting this money on the treasury?"

Lu Tao immediately felt that there was something strange in this, and instinctively thought that Li Weijun, the secretary of the town party committee, might be making trouble, so he said to Xia Bingbing: "Chief Xia, this money has not been allocated to the village so far, and the town finance office has not notified the people in the village, so it is estimated that something is wrong." ”

Xia Bingbing sighed, thought for a while and said, "Why don't you go to the town finance office first and ask, I am doing something in the Songshan City Finance Bureau now, and I will rush back in the afternoon." If there is any problem, you call me again, and I will come to the town with Director Cai, and explain the ins and outs and uses of this fund to the town leaders and Director Yu in person, and it should be no problem. ”

Lu Tao hurriedly thanked her, and then dialed Su Yaoguang's mobile phone and told him Xia Bingbing's words, saying that he would go to the town finance office to understand the situation immediately. Su Yaoguang asked him to go to Su Yuejin, the village accountant, and said that Su Yuejin knew Yu Gaoxin, the director of the financial department.

Ten minutes later, Lu Tao followed Su Yuejin into the office of Yu Gaoxin, director of the town's finance office. Su Yuejin introduced Lu Tao to Yu Gaoxin, who sat still behind the desk, nodded to Lu Tao very coldly, and asked, "Do you have anything to do with me?"

Lu Tao asked: "Director Yu, last time I accompanied Director Cai of the County Finance Bureau, Chief Xia of the Budget Unit and others to the Provincial Department of Finance to win a hat fund for Huaguang Village, the amount of which was one million yuan, which was used for the renovation of the village's house style. Just now I called Chief Xia, who said that the money had been allocated to the town finance office a week ago, and I would like to ask: When will this million yuan be allocated to the account of Huaguang Village?"

Yu Gaoxin asked quietly: "Are you sure that the million yuan is the hat fund for Huaguang Village?"

"Sure, this is personally designated by several leaders of the Budget Department of the Provincial Department of Finance, and just now Chief Xia also said that when appropriating funds to the Finance Office of Dalong Town, she has clearly informed you that this 100 yuan must be allocated to Huaguang Village, she is not wrong!"

Yu Gaoxin stared at the computer and said in an impatient tone: "You tell me that these are useless, although the town finance office is a dispatched agency of the county finance bureau and is under the leadership of the county bureau in terms of business, but on specific issues such as the use of funds, it must obey the arrangements of the town party committee and government. Regarding the 1 million yuan, the town's secretary Li has clearly instructed the finance office: this money is the provincial finance department to allocate the new rural construction assistance fund to Taolin County, and the documents of the finance department do not make it clear that this million yuan is a hat fund for Huaguang Village, so even if the county finance bureau has a request, the town cannot allocate all the money to Huaguang Village, and it must be distributed among several villages participating in the construction of the new countryside as appropriate. Because the town party committee has not yet studied the distribution plan, the money has not been allocated for the time being. ”

Lu Tao understood as soon as he heard it: Li Weijun was going to withhold the 1 million "hat funds" in order to retaliate against himself, and the reason for their detention was that the documents of the Provincial Finance Department did not clearly specify that the money must be allocated to Huaguang Village, which was tantamount to taking advantage of a loophole......
