Chapter 243: Funing County was sold
The little girl's twenty-second escape from prison failed again.
Wang Yan customized the shackles, and then like Xiao Zhao in the Heaven and Dragon Slayer, Luo Na was really caught and stayed by Wang Yan's side to serve, with shackles, just like the donkey Xiaobao back then, with a neck bell around her neck, which could not be taken off, as long as she moved, it would ring.
Fortunately, even if she is stubborn, she is also very smart and has slowly begun to learn to understand the world with her eyes and brain, not her ears.
So when serving Wang Yan's daily life, Cortana's worldview is slowly being refreshed.
In the "fairy tale", the magnates and officials have countless gold and silver treasures, endless chicken, duck, fish and wine, singing every night, and gargling with shark fin. But none of this happened with this gentleman.
Listen to people, and listen to people say series. Luo Na thought that a gentleman like Wang Yan, who had a big official in the court as his father, should have nothing to do, surrounded by good wine, good meat and beautiful women. But in fact, Rona didn't see any signs of this, and like everyone else, this gentleman was a man with a nose and two eyes, and he was only one of the small border counties that were in danger at any time.
He wakes up earlier and sleeps later than the others. What he eats is similar to what Luo Na ate a while ago, just feed, and some pickles brought by the "hometown of Beijing". Every time the little girl secretly ate pickles, Wang Yan knew about it, but she didn't want to talk about her.
The little girl with a neck bell and shackles, she didn't know that the kind of noodle ear thing was compound feed, but she used to think that it was a real delicacy, and it was sweet in her dreams after eating. But now the little girl is once again caught in a strange circle of disbelief in her eyes, and she can't make sense why the official eats the same thing as the prisoner.
Yes, now Luo Na is really a registered prisoner of the Great Song Dynasty, and has been convicted after the trial of Da Yan, and sentenced to three years of imprisonment for "evading the labor of the national court several times and refusing to change after repeated teachings". Her father was considered an accomplice, no bad consequences were caused, and the social impact was almost zero, so he was exempted from punishment and continued to serve in the county government.
In fact, after Luo Na was imprisoned, and there was food here, Lao Luo's father really settled down and didn't want to leave here.
The little girl's conviction seems to be a brain-pitted act, but seriously speaking, even Zhanzhao can't find anything wrong, even if this case is sent to Bianjing and handed over to Han Jiang, the picket prison department in Beijing, for review, this is also the result.
In the eyes of Luo Na in the past, Wang Yan was a violent child with a very bad temper. Interestingly, Luo Na has forgiven Wang Yan on this issue recently, because there is a concept of relative justice that Luo Na can understand. That is, Wang Yan often organizes people from all walks of life to come in to talk, report and discuss, and those bureaucrats and military men who are high in the eyes of ordinary people will also be laughed and scolded by violent children, and it is normal to be slapped on the back of the head.
Although this still proves that the rampant child is bad, Rhona can find a psychological balance from this point.
Lorna is becoming more and more comfortable with seeing with her eyes. She found that Wang Yan always had unfinished affairs and an unfinished heart. Everything has to be managed, everything has to be asked. The word that is often on the lips is "people's hearts".
Regarding this matter, which many bureaucrats do not care about, Wang Yan always emphasized that "once the people's hearts are lost, it is difficult to gather together, and it will be difficult to lead the team."
Rhona didn't understand what that meant. She's just very strange, in the series of hearing people, when did the official master care about the people and what did the people think? But it is true that Wang Yan has been busy with these things lately.
"My lord, the situation in Funing County is really bad, and the people's livelihood economy is almost zero."
This afternoon, after more than ten days of assault, Geng Tianqiu finally made a preliminary summary of Funing County from various aspects such as accounting, and sent the preliminarily sorted out documents to Wang Yan for review.
Geng Tianqiu put the thick paper files on the desk and said: "All the data in the past are fake, they are just account books, and the people's taxes actually do not exist. ”
Wang Yan was not in a hurry, took those various paper papers, and followed Geng Tianqiu's train of thought, as well as the key points of his annotations and outlines, and compared them one by one in combination with those substantive real situation data.
This process took a whole hour, and Geng Tianqiu's feet were sore, and he had been waiting. And Wang Yan was dizzy.
In the end, it can be regarded as reading it, put down these newspapers Wang Yan pinched the corners of his eyes, and summed it up in general:
The earlier land and asset annexation in this area was severe, and it is more unchecked here than in the mainland. As a result, most of the things, including arable land, fell into the hands of a few, and then there were no people who had the means, and absolutely no one wanted to survive in such an area that was in danger at any time.
So they tried their best to cash in and evacuate this small border county, get rid of all the useless assets in their eyes, and took away all the materials and money in Funing County as much as possible, and evacuated to the rear Suide Military Region. Because in comparison, the Suide army is a real border fortress and has the ability to resist risks.
The people of Funing County had nothing earlier, and they had no money to buy those assets and farmland from the hands of the "people with means". So, this is the reason why the magistrate of Funing County said that he was sick and ran away, and the witty magistrate knew that something would definitely happen in the future.
After the magistrate leaves, the power will naturally fall into the hands of the magistrate and the county, so that the county can more directly betray the interests of the state to get this group of people to evacuate.
There is no need for Geng Tianqiu's report on this point, and Wang Yan also knows their way. The simplest way is to buy back at a high price those assets that are worthless in war-torn areas on behalf of the national government, such as the cultivated land that now belongs to the county government, and the Beishan Coal Mine and Nanshan Iron Mine that belong to the county government.
This measure will not work in the mainland, and Zhang Fangping will definitely not allow them to do so. But in Shaanxi, I remember that when I was still in Shuzhou, Li Shen, the marshal minister of Shaanxi's economy, money and grain, and the envoy of the capital, had a report on the government's participation in borrowing and lending, and Zhang Fangping did not affirm or deny that thing at that time, it was a mixed bag, acquiescing, and not publicizing, in fact, it was these things that Lao Zhang was afraid of.
The disadvantage and loophole are here, and the Shaanxi region allows the government to participate in debt and lending. This is required by the special border situation. Therefore, even if the government has no money, it can use the "reputation high price" to buy back the farmland and mine assets in the hands of the group of people in Funing County.
These situations are not speculations but facts, and they are reflected in these incomparably complex documents submitted by Geng Tianqiu.
Then the already poor Funing County government has taken over these "non-performing assets" at a high price, and has also taken on huge debts, and now the interest just presented from these statements can make Wang Yan's heart tremble.
There is no doubt that the government's liabilities are collateralized by the government's future tax expectations, as has been the case since ancient times. So how does Funing County work now?
There is no tax in Funing County, not a penny. Because the 10,000 people who are still in Funing County now have no assets and property, and they still need to bear fixed tax items such as personal taxes, what should they do if they can't pay them?
Deduct with service.
Yes, the Great Song Dynasty has always been able to do this, and those who owe money to the government can be deducted with additional service. Those who have money but do not want to serve can pay for their service within the scope of the law.
That's pretty much how Funing County works now. So it's very inefficient, there is basically no tax, and those cultivated land and coal mines are all under the name of the government, and then the government doesn't grasp the people's will at all to catch strong men to serve, and the people who serve after getting the output don't have it, because they are paying off their debts.
So it's so inefficient that almost everybody copes with it.
Under the low output, in fact, the Funing County government could not get any benefits, and all of them were transported to the Suide Military Region in the rear at a very cheap discount and handed over to that group of creditors. But this is not considered to repay the debt, according to the policy loopholes of the capital transfer envoy Li Shen, under the crazy high interest, the output of the entire Funing County is now not enough to pay the interest.
So in fact, the current situation is that Funing County has been sold. In addition to the food used by civil servants, the entire Funing County is circulating in: the county government carries out basic soup kitchens, and the people are forced to serve after drinking the porridge. After the output, all of them were shipped to the group of moths in the Suide army, but they could not even pay the interest, and they would only owe more and more.
Unfortunately, something like this will happen in a civilized society a thousand years later, so now Wang Yan is speechless, and he can't complain more in this border war-torn area in the barbarian era.
Fortunately, now Wang Yan is only a county, and the areas where this situation occurs in the Great Song Dynasty are only rare, otherwise if there is a whole world faced by the king of heaven and worship, then the only solution is probably only to pull a team of bitter people to carry out a revolutionary reshuffle, which is called bankruptcy liquidation in economics and broken and then established in martial arts. In medicine, it is called bone scraping to cure poison.
Because at the national level, it is very difficult to carry out asset restructuring.
But now it is possible to restructure Funing County's debt.
Because it is only the size of Funing County, and Wang Yan brought one million yuan of funds from Ye Qinghua and the three divisions. As long as some planning is carried out, Wang Yan will buy these non-performing assets in Funing County with this venture capital in his hands.
Once revitalized, the people of Funing County will have jobs and income, and this joint-stock workshop will be profitable, so Funing County will also have real taxes, and they will all live.
Assets are certainly fine, but how can farmland and coal mines be non-performing assets. Just because of different angles and different interpretations, some people think that it is the top to sell, it can also be the bottom, the main rise has not yet begun.
The only risk comes from the risk of war, the risk of harassment by bandits and horse thieves.
But these two risks have long been within the scope of Wang Yan's measurement, and Ye Qinghua and Sansi have already considered such a risk before taking the money, and with psychological preparation and corresponding measures, it is not a risk.
As a result, the direction of Funing County was already in Wang Yan's brain: the stripping and restructuring of debts is the way out for Funing County.
Of course, Wang Yan will be very obscene and obscene when it is implemented, not only "they" will pit people, but Wang Yan will even be afraid of himself. So there will be a lot of drama going on next, and there will be a lot of games. 8)
