Rather believe it and never let it go, Ye Tong gave Zhou Yu an order to escort geological experts to conduct a thorough exploration of the four islands of Yanhuang and Huang, and he must find out the mineral situation on the island.

Next, Zhou Yu captured the natives while escorting the captives to the Qin Empire, and at the same time protected geological experts to conduct all-round exploration of the four islands of Yanhuang.

Ye Tong received Zhou Yu's information on the way, and after reading it, he smiled at the corner of his mouth, and finally brought the four islands of Yanhuang into the jurisdiction of the empire, and no longer had to worry about the people of Yanhuang being attacked and harassed by the natives.

Solving the thousand-year-old hidden danger of the Yanhuang nation, Ye Tong was really happy in his heart. For this reason, he deliberately took out the wine and drank it with the internal guard brothers.

Half a month later, Ye Tong returned to Chang'an City, and this departure was nearly a year, and the days passed so fast. has entered the 019 year of the Qin calendar, that is, in 202 BC, Ye Tong has been in the Qin Empire for five years.

When they returned to the General's Mansion and saw Yu Ji, the two talked and learned that nearly one million copies of the original works of the Hundred Schools had been proofread and printed, and 2,000 copies were printed in the original form, and tens of thousands of copies were printed in simplified characters, which were ready for external sales.

Before the two of them could speak long, the internal guard came in and reported: "General, the big guys of the cabinet, the military cabinet, and the imperial history pavilion are here?" ”

Shame!

I just came back, and I came to the door again, is there something going on?

That's not right! In the chaos, Ziye Tong must have received the information as soon as possible.

Shake your head, walk out of the study, go to the living room, be good! The bigwigs of the Qin Empire are all here.

Hehe!

"It's good that everyone is here! General Ben also wants to talk to you. After finishing speaking, Ye Tong turned his head to Yu Ji beside him and said, "Arrange a banquet, and General Ben and the bigwigs have a good drink." ”

"Yes!" After Yu Ji agreed, she went to prepare dinner.

Seeing the happy and sincere smiles on the faces of the bigwigs of the Qin Empire. Ye Tong understood in his heart that the Qin Empire was basically on the right track, the economy was developing rapidly, and the empire was thriving, and it was inseparable from the governance of the big guys sitting there, and everyone felt a sense of accomplishment.

After talking about the family, Ye Tong said: "This general eliminated Zhao Tuo, the empire is truly the unity of the world, and the efforts of everyone here are inseparable, without you in Chang'an, presiding over and leading the empire, the empire will not have today's achievements, everything is the result of everyone's joint efforts and concerted efforts."

In the next few months, General Ben was busy with the affairs of the Xiangjiang Industrial Park, and visited very good counties, counties, townships, and villages, and was surprised and worried about the situation in the empire.

What is surprising is that the township and village secondary economy continues to soar, and the people are very enthusiastic and are making every effort to develop the economy. As a result, the empire's economy is very good, it is indeed a continuous growth, and the momentum is very strong, which makes General Ben sincerely happy in his heart.

What are the worries? The economic development of the county and county second-level towns has stagnated, and the original mode of production is still maintained.

Logically and conventionally, the economy of counties and second-level towns should develop rapidly and sustainedly to promote the development of the surrounding areas of towns.

Just like the industrial parks and industrial parks under the General Hon, it radiates to the surrounding areas and plays a leading role.

Now the economic development of the empire has formed a strange phenomenon, with rapid growth at the township and village levels, and stagnation at the county and county levels, and the ironic fact that the countryside surrounds the towns.

The general also received many letters from the township and village chiefs, all of whom questioned the cabinet as to why the county and county officials did not implement various support policies in accordance with the imperial constitution.

In view of this new situation, General Ben sent his subordinates to conduct a thorough investigation of many county and county-level governments, and finally found the cause of the stagnation of economic development in the county-level and county-level towns. ”

Ye Tong stopped, took a sip of tea from the teacup, and moistened his throat.

Ye Tong said that the cabinet actually knew about the situation, but he didn't care much about it, and always felt that the overall economic development momentum of the empire was good, so he didn't delve into the reason.

Xiao He arched his hand and said respectfully: "Lord, the cabinet is clear about this matter, but it doesn't pay much attention to it, it seems that it is negligent." ”

Hehe!

"Why? There are two aspects, one primary and one secondary.

Let's start with the main reason, which is caused by the inaction of government officials at the county and county levels.

According to the provisions of the Imperial Constitution, 30% of the tax revenue is left in the local government and 70% is handed over to the central treasury of the empire.

The problem is that the thirty percent of the tax left in the local government, under the strict supervision of the Imperial History Pavilion, no one dares to attack it, which is very good.

However, all the funds that could have been used for investment in the economic development of local townships, villages, and towns were deposited in the bank to earn interest, and they became a stagnant water.

The county and county governments have not supported the construction of some water conservancy facilities and roads at the township and village levels, and all the township and village levels have come up with money to build various water conservancy and road projects.

Many township and village chiefs wrote to General Ben.

In view of this common phenomenon, General Ben thought about it for a few days and understood why county and county government officials did not act.

That's because the Imperial Pavilion has been able to supervise effectively, which has increased the cost of crime, and officials dare not reach out anymore. In order not to make mistakes and problems, officials at the county and county levels have formed a kind of atmosphere, that is, they do more and get more accidents, do less and cause fewer accidents, and if they don't do things, they will not get into trouble.

The result? Officials at the county and county levels do nothing, messing around all day long, and to put it bluntly, they don't do anything.

What about the Cabinet? I feel that the county and county governments, judging from the figures, have really good economic development, and there is no in-depth research and investigation.

The cabinet may have known, but in its heart, it felt that they had not done any wrong, that there was no corruption, and that their achievements were good, so they were not held accountable.

Have you ever thought about it, those gratifying figures are the achievements made at the township and village levels, and the county and county towns have not made any achievements, because they have been stained with the light of people's hometowns and villages.

General Ben thinks, if you don't do anything, guard the pit and don't, does the empire want you to do it?

The cabinet should think about putting capable people in power and driving those who don't do it home to plant sweet potatoes.

The secondary reason for the Cabinet is that it does not deal with inaction officials in a timely manner. To put it mildly, officials who do not act are no worse than those who are corrupt, or even more harmful. ”

Most of the bigwigs sitting here are local elites, and there is indeed a hint of inability to do it in their hearts. After all, the local officials just didn't work, and the others were really fine, but they felt too much to demote others because of inaction.

Ye Tong asked the internal guard to take out the letters of the township chiefs and village chiefs in various places, and handed them all over to the bigwigs sitting there to read and see what the township and village chiefs said.

According to the provisions of the Imperial Constitution, large-scale public welfare investment, including large and medium-sized water conservancy projects, main roads, and large, medium-sized and medium-sized bridges, was invested and built by the central government.

The small water conservancy and roads in the second-level villages are funded and built by the county and county-level governments, and the townships and villages are only responsible for contributing labor, and the cement, building materials, and funds are all invested by the local governments.

The county and county governments do not invest, and after the villages take the initiative to build, they can only borrow from banks for a temporary advance. This money should be paid by the county and county governments. The township chief and village chief couldn't get money, so they could only ask Ye Tong for it. The content of the letters is all asking Ye Tong for money.

After reading the letter, Chen Ping suggested: "My lord, I think that for officials who do not act, let's first legislate in law, so that Lao Cheng Yushi Pavilion will have a basis for supervision." Only then can we fundamentally solve the problem of inaction of government officials at the county and county levels. ”

Next, everyone felt that Chen Ping's suggestion was right, first solve the legal problem, and then solve the problem of inaction of county and county officials.

Ye Tong knew in his heart that this was a delaying means for the local elite to protect the county and county level officials who were not acting as officials. Ye Tong understood, but there was nothing he could do.

Ye Tong said: "What should I do if the county and county governments owe money to townships and villages? Lao Xiao, you won't fight this generalism again! That's not good, the Dingjun Mountain under General Ben can make money, but there are a lot of people who raise it, and the pressure is great! ”

Whoa!

The big guy who was sitting down laughed, and he knew in his heart that when Xiao He encountered the problem of money, the first person who thought of it was Ye Tong, to see if he could dig a piece of meat from Ye Tong.

Over the past few years, Xiao He has developed a habit of calculating the money in Ye Tong's pocket, and everyone understands Xiao He's habit in their hearts.

"My lord, the cabinet really has no money, you see! The Northern Expedition is about to begin, and a large supply of grain and grass is needed, and the reward for the soldiers after the victory, Zhou Yu captures those natives, and the cabinet also has to spend money to buy them, and the cabinet really can't take out money when they need money everywhere. ”

Next, Xiao He began to complain bitterly, saying countless difficulties, which made Ye Tong dizzy.

"Xiao He, that's not right! The money is owed by the county and county governments, and what does it have to do with this general, you have to ask the county and county government officials to help the township, chief, and village head to ask for it, not to ask the general.

Besides, how much does the reward for the Northern Expedition and Zhou Yu take over the four islands of Yanhuang cost!

The cabinet has billions of dollars in the banks of General Ben, and it stands to reason that General Ben is absolutely warmly welcomed, but the problem is that it is not good for the development of the country and not good for the economic development.

The Cabinet should take out the money in the bank and spend it to produce greater efficiency.

Money in the bank is dead, it won't produce efficiency, don't keep thinking about the meager interest.

What's more, what expenses does the cabinet have, the majority of the generals pay for it.

The navy was set up at the expense of Admiral Ben, and the cabinet did not spend a penny, and eighty percent of the army's money was paid by Admiral Ben, and the little money from the cabinet accounted for less than 20 percent.

That's not going to work, when the Northern Expedition is over, General Ben has to settle accounts with the cabinet, and he can't grab his eyebrows and mustaches, and score clearly. ”

As soon as he heard that he wanted to separate the accounts, Xiao He immediately shouted: "Lord, there is no need, this is good." ”

Shame!

It's Xiao He, you're okay!

Ye Tong lost a lot.

Ye Tong was very depressed in his heart, Xiao He had always regarded the Qin Empire as Ye Tong's personal ownership. This view is extremely serious, and Ye Tong has repeatedly corrected and warned that the empire is all under heaven, not a certain person. The problem is this, Xiao He has always been the wind in his ears, and he didn't take it seriously.

I knew in my heart that Ye Tong had never taken advantage of Xiao He talking about money, and he would only suffer more and more if he talked about it, so he could only do it in other ways.

Hey!

"Xiao He! The transitional government still has less than four years to go, and there are still several big projects that will be famous for thousands of years, which need to be presided over by Lao Xiao. ”
