There are 720,000 people in Linfeng City, more than 11,000 cadres and workers who rely on financial support, and the annual financial income is only 110 million, and the wages transferred by the central government are far from enough to pay wages, and the city's annual official expenditures and the wages and benefits of cadres and workers are more than 200 million.

If there is not enough money, there will naturally not be much money to invest in infrastructure construction.

After the restructuring of enterprises, there are no large-scale state-owned enterprises in Linfeng City, and there are less than 10 enterprises that can be regarded as large-scale, and there are no enterprises that can pay more than 10 million yuan in profits and taxes.

The finance of Linfeng City is a typical food finance, which is unable to make ends meet every year, and does not contribute to the country at all, but has to rely on state appropriations to barely maintain.

Although there is a state-level poor county and city hat, but thinking of the state's complete support, it is impossible, so the finance of Linfeng City is also the finance of the grain, at the end of each year, the city finance will borrow from the bank to solve the problem of insufficient financial expenditure, and the financial revenue of the next year will gradually repay the bank loan.

The cadres and workers of Linfeng City, in addition to salary income every year, the benefits at the end of the year are roughly 3,000 to 5,000 yuan, and the units with good conditions can pay more bonuses and benefits, and the units with poor conditions and cannot find a way to come can have few bonuses and benefits, but the treatment of vertical departments such as taxation and industry and commerce is still very good.

Liao Fanmin took office at the end of November, and he originally planned to go to various townships and towns to learn about the situation at the grassroots level, and by the way, he was also familiar with the responsible persons of the townships and towns, but Sun Guozhu had already arranged for the Standing Committee of the Municipal People's Congress to hold a meeting on the 26th to approve Liao Fanmin's appointment and dismissal, which made it impossible for Liao Fanmin to go to the countryside immediately.

It took two full days and carefully read a lot of materials, and Liao Fanmin finally had a preliminary understanding of the situation in Linfeng City, and the situation was of course frustrating.

After reading the relevant materials, Liao Fanmin understood that his main job a few years ago was to care about the situation of financial revenue, consider the year-end salaries and bonuses of the city's cadres and workers, and to put it bluntly, he needs to go around to raise money.

It is said that the bonus does not need Liao Fanmin to consider, and the cost of wages is mainly the executive vice mayor Hong Mingcheng is worried about, but the situation of the county and city is different from the above, as the main person in charge of the municipal government, Liao Fanmin must consider the issue of fiscal revenue and financial expenditure, just say that the bonus of the cadres and employees of the unit, at the end of each year, a large number of funds report of the municipal unit will be submitted to the municipal government, and these applications for increased funds are actually the year-end benefits of the cadres and workers of the municipal unit, and the person in charge of the municipal unit is lining up to find Hong Mingcheng, It is hoped that the report of the unit will be approved.

Hong Mingcheng did not dare to casually approve the unit's expenditure report, he knew how much money the city finance had, if the approved expenditure was too much, and the financial expenditure was too great, resulting in a shortage of income and expenditure, and there were red letters in financial expenditure, it would definitely be a big problem.

This requires Liao Fanmin to set a standard for Hong Mingcheng and how much money can be approved.

However, this year's situation is a little different, Liao Fanmin has just taken office, and he is not familiar with the situation, and the fund report of the municipal unit has begun to be submitted to the municipal government, after all, before the final financial accounts on December 31, the funds must be approved, as the current year's expenses, if it exceeds this day, the approved fund report is the next year's expenses.

Moreover, the approved funds must be fully disbursed by December 31, so that the figures on fiscal revenue and fiscal expenditure will come out.

Fiscal revenues and expenditures must be balanced, even if the real situation is unbalanced, on December 31.

The data on fiscal expenditure are gradually converging, and the data on fiscal revenue are being compiled.

According to the requirements of the government work report, the growth of GTP in Linfeng City in a few years should reach 13 percent, that is to say, the fiscal revenue must reach 127 million.

Hong Myung-sung entered the office.

The municipal government office building has a total of five floors, the first and second floors are the office of the government office staff, the third floor is the small conference room of the municipal government on the left, the right is the office of the director and deputy director of the municipal government office, the fourth floor is the office of the mayor and the deputy mayor, Liao Fanmin's office is on the far left, and a separate iron door is installed in the middle of the corridor, which includes three offices, a small conference room, and the secretary also works here.

Seeing Hong Mingcheng walk into the office, Liao Fanmin picked up the cigarette on the table, handed it to Hong Mingcheng, and lit the cigarette himself.

"Mayor Liao, the funding report of the municipal units has been handed in a lot, I have roughly counted it, the gap in the funds of the municipal units is close to 20 million, this number is too big, last year's funding gap was 17 million, this year it has increased by 3 million at once, and the financial situation may not be able to bear it."

"Mayor Hong, what is your opinion?"

"In my opinion, it is still handled according to the old rules of last year, and the gap in funding at the end of the year will be reduced to less than 17 million."

"Well, I don't know the situation very well, but there must be a reason why this year's funding gap has suddenly increased by three million, and I don't think it can be increased for no reason."

Hong Mingcheng looked at Liao Fanmin and took a puff of his cigarette.

"It is mainly caused by the imbalance between units, the unit funds are high and low, the units with good conditions, the welfare of cadres and workers is naturally higher, and the welfare benefits of poor units are much worse, this situation has continued for many years, and I don't know what is going on this year, large and small units have submitted reports on applying for increased funds, and I don't want to think about whether there is money in finance."

"I see."

Liao Fanmin smiled.

"Mayor Hong, what do you think about this issue?"

"On the surface, this situation is somewhat unbalanced, but there is a certain amount of truth in it; except for a very few units, the work of the rest of the units is still different, for example, the Planning Commission, the Finance Bureau, and the Public Security Bureau, these departments, there are many things, and the workload of cadres and workers is also very large, and it is normal to have more funds; some units do not have much to do all year round, and the cadres and workers are also very idle, so the funds are naturally less."

"In other words, will we still deal with it the old way this year?"

"I thought so, and in the end, it was Mayor Liao who made the decision."

Liao Fanmin didn't speak immediately.

In fact, Hong Mingcheng did not say all the reasons, the report of the municipal unit applying for increased funds suddenly increased, that is, the matter of the past two days, specifically after he Liao Fanmin took office, in just two days, a large number of funding reports were submitted to the municipal government, which has been piled up more than a foot high.

All the funds have not yet been approved, but Hong Mingcheng has been to the municipal party committee several times in the past two days.

Many cadres and workers of the municipal units looked at him, the newly appointed acting mayor.

"Mayor Hong, the funding report will be put aside for the time being, and I will consider it."

Seeing that Hong Mingcheng was about to speak again, Liao Fanmin spoke in advance.

Hong Mingcheng nodded and did not continue to say anything.

After Hong Mingcheng left, Liao Fanmin put the materials in his hand on the table.

The secretary has not yet been in place, Zhang Dongtao has been busy with everything in the past few days, including all the materials provided, Liao Fanmin has not held a meeting for the time being, Zhang Dongtao asked whether to convene a meeting of the leaders of the municipal government, Liao Fanmin did not express his position.

Liao Fanmin actually wanted to go to the municipal party committee to exchange views with Sun Guozhu, secretary of the municipal party committee, under the current situation, whether it is to appease the people's hearts or establish his own prestige, Liao Fanmin can not reduce the funds, at least need to ensure that the municipal units apply for funds at the end of the year, but this requires a lot of funds.

In terms of funds, Liao Fanmin has a way, and when he plans to return to the provincial capital, he will go directly to Cao Wenyuan, the director of the Department of Finance, and believe that he can get a lot of funds for Linfeng City.

But Liao Fanmin didn't plan to go to the Finance Department in a hurry.

It's been three days, Liao Fanmin has been reading the materials and understanding the basic situation of Linfeng City, Sun Guozhu didn't make a phone call, but many deputy mayors went to the municipal party committee to ask for instructions.

This situation is very interesting, and logically speaking, the deputy mayor of the city government should report to him, the acting mayor, at least on the work of their respective departments.

Liao Fanmin has always been very calm, he knows that he still has a code word on his head, although the acting mayor and the mayor are the same, but he has not really become the mayor of Linfeng City, he always needs to take into account the impact when doing things, if he is too strong when he first comes, there will be a lot of discussions, and it will have a bad impact.

It's almost time to get off work.

The phone on the desk rang.

Liao Fanmin picked up the phone.

"Hey... It's Secretary Sun, I'm Liao Fanmin... There is nothing scheduled for the afternoon... Okay, I'll be there in a minute. ”

Putting down the phone, Liao Fanmin's face showed a smile, Sun Guozhu finally called, and when Zhang Dongtao came to the office in the afternoon, he said that Secretary Sun went to Yidu, and it seemed that he should have rushed back from Yidu.

I went to Yidu and called myself when I came back, which was really interesting.

When he walked out of the office, Zhang Dongtao was waiting in the opposite office.

"Director Zhang, Secretary Sun just called, we have some things to discuss, there is nothing to do today, you should go home early."

Car No. 2 was already waiting in the yard.

When Liao Fanmin went downstairs, many staff members of the government office flashed to both sides of the stairs, and saluted respectfully in their mouths, Liao Fanmin smiled and nodded to everyone one by one.

Liao Fanmin has never thought of establishing authority with a cold attitude, he believes that only by really doing a good job can he truly establish authority.
