Chapter Twenty-Three: Three Fires for New Officials to Take Office
When everyone heard Li Xiaoning suddenly ask about the town's liquidity, their expressions couldn't help but tighten. Huang Xiangren looked around, and then said slowly: "Our financial revenue mainly depends on the overall collection of retention, which is the fee that should be levied according to the state, but the people of Pingshan Town are relatively poor, so the situation of the overall collection of retention is not ideal, and the town collects less than 60% of the total, and many farmers refuse to pay. We have also made an analysis, and the main reasons for the difficulty of expropriation are as follows: first, the consciousness of individual people is relatively low, and they are unwilling to bear reasonable burdens; Second, the enthusiasm of the village cadres is not high, and there are problems in their working methods......"
Li Xiaoning knocked on the table, interrupted Huang Xiangren and said, "I'll just ask you how much liquidity the town's finances have, who told you this?" ”
Huang Xiangren scratched his head and said: "Mayor Li, the situation is like this, we have also thought of some measures for the difficulty of overall collection and retention. First, we must unify our thinking and earnestly do a good job in the division of responsibilities; Second, it is necessary to refine the collection method to achieve fairness and justice; Third, it is necessary to implement the measures for financial disclosure, regularly announce the income and expenditure of the retained overall fund, and accept the supervision of the masses; Fourth, it is necessary to ......"
"Don't ask for it!" Li Xiaoning interrupted Huang Xiangren again and said coldly, "You don't know how much money is left in the town's finances, do you?" ”
Huang Xiangren smiled embarrassedly and acquiesced in Li Xiaoning's judgment.
"Then you don't need to say it, you go and call the girl surnamed Lin just now in." Li Xiaoning's face was frosty.
Huang Xiangren hurriedly got up and went out to call someone as if he had been amnestied, but because he was in too much of a hurry, he knocked down the stool with a bang, turned around to support the stool, and kept saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”
Soon the girl surnamed Lin walked in behind Huang Xiangren again, looking nervous.
"What's your name?" Li Xiaoning asked in a gentle tone.
"My name is Lin Meili." The girl said with a tense face.
Li Xiaoning nodded and said, "Okay, Lin Meili, do you know how much money you have at your disposal in the town now?" ”
Lin Meili said cautiously: "In addition to some reserved funds, the liquidity that can be squeezed out in the town is about 120,000. ”
"It's still not enough!" Li Xiaoning frowned, "You said that there are reserved funds, which ones?" ”
"There are three main blocks. The first is personnel expenses, including the salary expenditure of the personnel supplied by the town finance and the salary-related expenditure drawn according to the policy provisions. Among them, the salary of the town government staff is more than 90,000 yuan, and the salary of some teachers in the town is about 11,000, and the teacher's fee should have been borne by the county, but the county also pushed it to us. The more Lin Meili spoke, the more calm she became, and later, she could simply be described as a river of words.
"The second is public funds. Among them, the office expenses need to be retained 5,000 yuan per month according to the budget; 2,000 yuan for the conference; entertainment expenses of 12,000 yuan; The cost of fuel repair for official vehicles is 2,000 yuan.
The third is the special investment promotion fund. This part of the amount is more than 50,000 yuan. ”
Li Xiaoning clapped his hands and said: "Then first take out the 50,000 yuan and this month's public expenses, and then stop paying the salaries of the party members this month, which should be enough, no matter what, we must ensure that all the money is sent to the people tomorrow." ”
Seeing that Li Xiaoning didn't even discuss with everyone, the party members present directly stopped everyone's salaries, and their faces were a little uncomfortable, so they all looked at Zhang Erwa, hoping that the current leader of Pingshan Town could speak and suppress Li Xiaoning's momentum.
Zhang Erwa really lived up to expectations, but his words disappointed the members of the party group present, "I agree with Mayor Li's opinion. The central authorities have long since issued repeated orders that they are not allowed to arbitrarily stretch out their hands to the peasants and increase their burdens. Our current practice of collecting the funds raised from the peasants is contrary to the spirit of the instructions of the central authorities and is not right, and my opinion is also that it is not possible to return the funds raised. It's not okay to retire late. Everyone here is hungry and cold if they are paid a month's salary less, but the people of Pingshan Town have always been under the food and clothing line. ”
Li Xiaoning glanced at Zhang Erwa gratefully, then glanced at it with blazing eyes, and asked, "If you don't have any other opinions, this matter will be decided." ”
"I have something to say."
Everyone turned their eyes to the source of the sound, and said in their hearts, who is this? So bold, dare to brush the tiger whiskers of Mayor Xiao Li, who is in full swing?
Lin Meimei's face was flushed when everyone saw it, but she still mustered up the courage to say: "Mayor Li, the investment promotion funds are specially used for investment promotion, and according to the financial system, they cannot be used for other expenses. ”
Li Xiaoning was happy, he smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad." Quite principled. But in our work, we must not only adhere to principles, but also be flexible. Pingshan Town has never succeeded in recruiting merchants for so long, let alone introducing any capital. Therefore, this special fund for investment promotion has actually been paid by Lang. The most important thing at the moment is to stabilize the feelings of the common people, and what is wrong with using this useless money to do useful things? ”
Lin Meili said: "I can't talk about you, but this money is to be investigated by the county." ”
"You don't have to worry about it in the county, I'll talk about it. Go down and do it. Li Xiaoning gave Lin Meili an encouraging look.
"Oh." Lin Meili agreed, turned around and left.
Huang Xiangren, who had been beside him with a nervous face, was also relieved and was about to leave. Li Xiaoning stopped him: "Director Huang, I see that you, the director of finance, are very difficult, don't do it yet, go home and rest." ”
The eyes of everyone present immediately widened again: Okay. Although there is a saying that there are three fires for the new official to take office, but the fire of the mayor of Xiao Li in front of him is too bad, right? The first meeting was convened, and the post of deputy mayor and chief of finance was suspended. What's the rhythm?
Li Xiaoning completely ignored everyone's strange eyes, smiled and said, "The thorny problem has been solved, and everyone is tired for a day." Eat first, eat, I asked them to buy instant noodles and pickles, let's go together. After eating, continue to dry. ”
Zhao Aihua saw the members of the party group out of the conference room, went back to their respective rooms, and immediately arranged for two people to send instant noodles, ham sausages, and pickles to the house. Seeing that Li Xiaoning was still walking towards the Family Planning Office, he hurriedly ran forward and said, "Mayor Li, your new office is ready, it is the one used by Secretary Pang, no, Pang Weidong, this is the largest office." ”
Li Xiaoning glanced at Zhao Aihua and said with a smile: "You have no brains?" That's the secretary's office, you don't let Secretary Zhang in to sit, what's the matter with letting me go? ”
Zhao Aihua scratched his head embarrassedly and said: "This is also what Secretary Zhang meant, he said that he is old and unwilling to move places." ”
"I also miss the old days, and I prefer popular places, so it's more comfortable to sit in the family planning office." Li Xiaoning laughed and walked over, leaving only Zhao Aihua with a panicked face.
Li Xiaoning walked a few steps and found that Zhao Aihua didn't follow, so he turned around and said, "I'm kidding you." Secretary Zhang doesn't want to move, so I'll move. But I'm busy tonight, so I'll talk about the office tomorrow. ”
Zhao Aihua turned his worries into joy, and came up and said, "Mayor Li, if you need to buy something, I will arrange to buy it tomorrow; If you don't like what Pang Weidong has used, I'll change it for you......"
Li Xiaoning sank his face and said, "Pang Weidong's accident is because others have problems, what does it have to do with the things he used?" You don't have to change a single one. Moreover, I just canceled all the office funds in the town for this month at the meeting, and you are buying it aggressively, what? Do you want to deliberately sing against me? ”
According to the description in general YY novels, Li Xiaoning's domineering aura is now looming, although his tone is not very harsh, Zhao Aihua still listens to it in a cold sweat.
Looking at Zhao Aihua's sincere and frightened appearance, Li Xiaoning couldn't help but shake his head in his heart, this Zhao Aihua was still the first person to fall to himself, but now it seems that this person is not a person who can become a great weapon, it is okay to be a pawn, but it is absolutely impossible to be a general. It seems that He Dongliang's vacant position has to think of other candidates.
This night, Li Xiaoning worked at the desk until more than five o'clock, and then lay on the desk with deep cracks and stared for a while.
Li Xiaoning was woken up by the noise outside. He stood up abruptly and asked aloud, "What's going on outside?" ”
Bai Dengke was entering the door and said anxiously: "Mayor Li, it's not good, something happened again." ”
Li Xiaoning asked while sorting out his clothes: "Don't worry, talk slowly, what's wrong?" ”
Bai Dengke said: "As soon as the day dawned, the people came to receive the money. ”
"Received it, didn't I arrange it all last night?" Li Xiaoning asked suspiciously as he walked out.
Bai Dengke said with a bitter face: "It's all arranged, but who knows, Secretary Liu came to the county just now, and brought a large team of the Public Security Bureau, and he couldn't help but say that he would arrest people when he came up on the ground, and the villagers wanted to reason with them, and they beat them violently......"
"Damn, pig brains?" Li Xiaoning was furious. It was not easy for him to appease the people, and as soon as Secretary Liu arrests someone, he will definitely make things worse.
Li Xiaoning walked quickly to the door and shouted, "Stop, what's going on?" Why arrest people? ”
Liu Tong glanced at Li Xiaoning and said lightly: "Xiao Li." The matter was in a hurry, and for fear of making something bigger, I didn't have time to talk to you, so I asked them to arrest a few people who took the lead in making trouble. Otherwise, this unhealthy wind in Pingshan Town can't be suppressed. ”
Li Xiaoning said coldly: "Secretary Liu, I'm just afraid that the crooked wind and evil spirit are not in Pingshan Town?" It's not these ordinary people who make trouble, right? ”
