At two o'clock in the afternoon, someone finally knocked on the door of Guo Xiaozhou's office.

"Come in!" Guo Xiaozhou received his subordinates for the first time, and he was a little nervous, he stood up, but he realized that he was the leader of the Chenta Township Government. In the entire Chenta Township, only Deng Huaidong is qualified to let him stand up to greet him.

Coming in was a middle-aged man of about forty years old, wearing an old-fashioned long cyan shirt, navy blue pants, leather shoes under his feet, and many circles of myopia glasses on the bridge of his nose.

"You're new to Guo...... The mayor ...... "The visitor couldn't hide his surprise and lifted the frame."

"You are?" Guo Xiaozhou looked him up and down.

"Oh! I am Deng Baoshan, the head of the town cultural station. Mayor Guo, I'm here to ask for help, we can't stand anymore. Deng Baoshan's face was very excited.

"Stationmaster Deng, don't get excited, speak slowly." Guo Xiaozhou got up and poured him a glass of boiled water.

Deng Baoshan took the teacup and put it down immediately, stood up excitedly again, and spoke in the Chen Ta dialect, crackling like a machine gun and spitting bitter water.

"There are 24 township cultural stations in Qingshan City that have received special equipment fund subsidies from the province, and since March 19 this year, each township cultural station has received 100,000 yuan of equipment. The subsidy fund for this equipment is issued by the province to strengthen the construction of township comprehensive cultural stations, and each township cultural station is subsidized by 100,000 yuan, of which 50,000 yuan is the purchase of supporting equipment for the national cultural information resource sharing project, and 50,000 yuan is the purchase of special equipment required for cultural activities. Other townships and towns have already put things in place, but our township has not even put in place the special subsidy funds for the free opening of township cultural stations allocated by the central government last year. ”

Guo Xiaozhou could only shake his head and smile, and said, "I want to say that I didn't understand the situation when I first came, you must think I'm prevaricating." But to tell you the truth, I've been in this office for less than six hours. I want to ask you, where are these two earmarked grants now? ”

"At the Township Finance Office."

"Since you have arrived at the township finance office, why doesn't the finance office allocate funds?"

Deng Baoshan stood up "Teng", "Of course it was misappropriated by you." ”

Guo Xiaozhou raised his eyebrows, "Evidence? ”

Deng Baoshan shouted loudly: "The evidence is in the Finance Office, I have looked for Liu Jiabing countless times, and he admitted that he was intercepted and misappropriated by the town, saying that it was useless to look for him......"

Guo Xiaozhou said coldly: "Who intercepted it, and who signed it?" ”

Deng Baoshan blushed, hesitant, and he didn't dare to say it.

At this moment, Gao Ming pushed the door in, "Stationmaster Deng, Secretary Deng invites you to come to his office." ”

Deng Baoshan suddenly wilted, sighed mournfully, and turned around silently in frustration.

Guo Xiaozhou didn't open his mouth to stop him, he looked directly at Gao Ming.

Gao Ming sent Deng Baoshan outside the door, turned back, closed the door, approached Guo Xiaozhou's side, and said in a low voice: "Deng Baoshan will come to make trouble once every three days, Secretary Deng heard it just now, let me come over and help you solve the siege." ”

"Help me out?" Guo Xiaozhou smiled faintly, "I want to know who signed and withheld these two special grants." ”

Gao Ming said helplessly: "The previous mayor Bai Feng signed." ”

"What is this money used for?"

Gao Ming was silent for a moment, and then said stubbornly: "Mayor Guo, the financial situation of our Chenta Township has been extremely bad, last year the township cadres did not pay salaries for three months, and there were loans everywhere, and the township finances have reached the point of exhaustion. ”

Guo Xiaozhou has not yet answered.

Gao Ming whispered, "This month's salary has been delayed for twenty days......

Guo Xiaozhou was surprised: "What about the income of the township finance? ”

Gao Ming shook his head and explained, "Our town's industrial base is weak, rural tax revenue is scattered and scattered, involving thousands of households, transportation is inconvenient, and it is not easy to collect and manage; Township self-employed individuals are financially unsound, and it is difficult to collect them; The amount is small, involves a wide range, and increases the cost of taxation. In addition, the awareness of tax payment is weak, there are many tax disputes, and it is difficult to coordinate...... It's not easy! ”

Guo Xiaozhou stared at him for a long time and asked, "How big is the gap?" ”

Gao Ming shook his head and said nothing.

Guo Xiaozhou was angry, "Don't you even have an account?" ”

Gao Ming remained silent.

Guo Xiaozhou was silent for a long time, "I want to see the director of the township finance." ”

Gao Ming said "um", "I'll let him come to see you right away." ”

Ten minutes later, a man in his thirties knocked on the door and walked into Guo Xiaozhou's office.

The visitor was white-faced, dressed in a well-textured white T-shirt, jeans and white travel shoes, and carrying a leather handbag in his hand. When he entered the door, he opened his handbag, took out a pack of soft Chinese cigarettes, and gave Guo Xiaozhou a cigarette diligently.

"Hello Mayor Guo! I am Liu Jiabing of the Township Finance Office, and I am about to report to you......"

Guo Xiaozhou waved his hand and refused, "I don't smoke." ”

The visitor smiled and put the cigarette back.

"Sit down, Director Liu." Guo Xiaozhou picked up a copy of the town government document and read it softly: "Chenta Township Financial Management System: First, adhere to living within your means, strictly economize, spend less money, and do more. 2. The personnel of the financial office perform their duties, take their own responsibilities, unite and cooperate, and are jointly responsible to the mayor. All expenditures shall be approved by the mayor of the town with a pen, and shall be invalid without the signature of the mayor. One of the large expenditures of more than 1,000 yuan shall be jointly examined and approved by the secretary and the mayor......"

"8. The Finance Office shall regularly report in writing to the secretary and the mayor on the financial income and expenditure. These provisions shall come into force on the date of promulgation. ”

"Director Liu, I don't know if this township financial management system is effective?" The tail notes of Guo Xiaozhou's last two words dragged on for a long time, obviously referring to something else.

"It worked! Of course it works! Our financial office has always acted in strict accordance with the rules and regulations. "Although Liu Jiabing's position is very correct. But Guo Xiaozhou caught a touch of contempt in his eyes.

"That's good. I would like to know what was the fiscal income of Chenta Town last year? ”

"Last year, it was about 30 million."

"That's it?" Guo Xiaozhou questioned.

Liu Jiabing smiled, "Chen Ta is poor, and he lacks the income of township enterprises, so he can't make ends meet." ”

"How much do we owe now?" Guo Xiaozhou asked suddenly.

Liu Jiabing said without thinking: "Four or five million ......"

Guo Xiaozhou's face was shocked, "So many? ”

Liu Jiabing glanced at him strangely, "The current township fiscal revenue is generally only to ensure the salaries of personnel, the operation of institutions and people's livelihood expenditures. This is also the general trend of China's townships and towns, there are too many debts, and it is very good to be able to ensure operation. ”

"It's the same with Big River?" Guo Xiaozhou asked rhetorically.

Liu Jiabing smiled, "Dahe Town owes more debts than our town, don't look at them prosperous, but the expenditure base is large, and infrastructure construction costs money." In comparison, our Chenta is the township with the least debt in the city. ”

Guo Xiaozhou was silent. He was speechless. There are so many debts, but Liu Jiabing seems to take it for granted, and even a little proud, which is incomprehensible.

In just half a day since he arrived here, he has seen too many negative things. He even had a strong urge to pick up the teacup and smash it at Liu Jiabing's faintly complacent face.

Liu Jiabing suddenly said: "Mayor Guo, this month's salary in the town ......"

Guo Xiaozhou asked quietly, "How did you operate before?" ”

Liu Jiabing replied: "The town leaders are raising funds everywhere. ”

"How?"

"Find a way to borrow."

Guo Xiaozhou thought to himself, who is not short of money now, I am afraid that you have already borrowed all the places you can borrow, now throw this hot potato to me.

This is really irritating.

But on the other hand, if he had received the funds from the county finance for the renovation of the town middle school and had his salary back, would his prestige in Chenta Town be established?

He asked, "What's the matter with the special funds of Chenta Middle School being withheld by the county treasury?" ”

Liu Jiabing shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The town has a poor county finance of more than one million, and it has not been able to be repaid for two years, and now as long as there is money to allocate it, the county finance will deduct a part of the ......."

Guo Xiaozhou got up and said, "That's all for today's conversation, and I'm going to see the detailed financial statements tomorrow." ”

Liu Jiabing wanted to speak and stopped: "The matter of wages ......"

"I'll answer you tomorrow." Guo Xiaozhou did not use affirmative sentences, nor did he use negative sentences, and threw down an ambiguous sentence.

After Liu Jiabing left, Guo Xiaozhou only felt a tightness in his chest, and his heart sank......

He still underestimated the predicament faced by Chen Tazhen.

According to the division of labor between the party and the government, Deng Huaidong is in charge of cadres, and he, the mayor of the town, is in charge of finance. There is no money in the town, and he is the one who has the most headache. He was even sure that within two days, there would be a queue of people coming to his office to ask for money.

At this time, he finally understood what the young officer of the Organization Department meant, "Whoever comes is unlucky!" ”

Indeed, even if the people who come here have great ambitions, want to do things for the people, and want to lead Chen Ta out of poverty, they will be wiped out by Chen Ta's historical legacy and practical problems. Worry about how to borrow all day long, and spend time like a year......

He suddenly wanted to go out for a walk. Go to the river and blow the wind.

Zhao Dakui drove the two Santana 2000s and drove all the way north.

After a short drive through the streets, the asphalt was gone, and Santana bumped up on the sand-paved tertiary road.

Guo Xiaozhou didn't understand cars, he smiled and said, "Isn't it aggrieved to drive this kind of obsolete old car?" ”

Zhao Dakui shook his head, "Mayor Guo, I have driven the so-called good cars now, but they are not as good as this old car." The two cars ran for seven years, and the high-speed fuel consumption turned on the air conditioner6. 5 liters, less than 8 with air conditioning in the city. 5 liters. One and a half tons is very fuel-efficient. 1。 The speed of 8 is not to be said, it feels like a racing car, and even if there is really money to change cars in the town, I am a little reluctant. ”

"Oh!" Guo Xiaozhou looked at Zhao Dakui's side, a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who should be one or two years older than him, looked very simple. It's like the tranquil river in front of you.

Santana went up the embankment, and Guo Xiaozhou shouted: "Stop, go down and walk." ”

Just after the rain, the river embankment is a little muddy, Guo Xiaozhou stepped on the thick silt, his eyes looked around, the opposite side of the river embankment is the provincial high-tech industrial park in Wujiang, which is currently booming, the land price is rocket-like, and the eyes are full of towering scaffolding and shuttle trucks.

And the Chen Pagoda where he is located is lifeless, and its eyes are full of barren mountains and wilderness.

The reason why Chenta's agriculture has not been able to develop is that the land here is barren, not suitable for growing rice and barley, and there are no mineral resources underground, so it is useless.

As far as he knows, the housing prices in the towns and villages around the opposite high-tech park have risen to 8,0100 square meters, and they continue to rise.

In Chenta Town, across the river, a two-story brick house costs 20,000 yuan, and no one cares.

He suddenly moved in his heart and summoned Zhao Dakui, "Has the county considered building a bridge here?" ”

Zhao Dakui said with a humble smile: "I heard that the city came to survey more than ten years ago, but the central government did not approve it, and later the county also used the brains of building bridges, but it still didn't seem to be successful." ”

"Oh......" Guo Xiaozhou overlooked the river, and his feelings suddenly became excited.
