"How much money will the county be able to balance this year? At the end of the year, the government will allocate a part of it to buy some New Year's goods for everyone, so that everyone can have a happy New Year. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "Liu Da Taishou rarely came to the front office, and he rarely cared about government affairs, and he didn't want to make everyone dumbfounded.

There was no reply for half an hour.

Liu Zhang thinks it's very strange, shouldn't he be ready to give out some benefits during the New Year? This is a matter of course. But how come you don't see a single one who is elated and rejoicing?

Liu Zhang had no choice but to ask again: "Shouldn't it be according to the rules?" With a little money, there is no reason for our government to be so stingy, so that everyone can have a happy New Year is the most important thing. ”

Xu Shu couldn't bear it anymore, and said sarcastically: "You shouldn't ask us how much we have left, but how much we owe this year." ”

"And how much do we owe this year?" Liu Zhang asked casually with a bit of an idiot, and immediately felt a little regretful after asking.

"If you go back to your lordship, how much baht our government will collect this year, how much grain you will have, how much baht you should spend, how much stone you should spend, how much baht you have spent, how much you have to pay how many stones, how much baht you owe, how much stone you owe, how much stone you have to pay." A scribe immediately stood up and popped out a series of numbers, Liu Zhang didn't have any concept of these ancient money and grain units, it sounded like a long list of numbers, and it seemed to be very serious. If it is not RMB, Liu Zhang lacks due sensitivity to these figures, and he doesn't even remember a single number.

"Isn't it a lot?" Liu Zhang asked a little weakly.

"It's not a lot, it's a lot, it's a lot. Lord, you are now resigning from the position of Taishou, and it is estimated that no one will want to take over your vacancy. Xu Shu became angry when he saw Liu Zhang starting to be mediocre again.

"How's that good? Although I don't have much money, I should always have some squeezing, but it's really not good, and it's good to make some IOUs and make everyone happy. Liu Zhang still said heartlessly.

In fact, according to normal secular calculations, Liu Zhang has already had a lot of money, that is, the government office, and this year's income is far more than in previous years.

The problem is that you reap more, you spend more.

Since Liu Daguan demanded that all the counties of Shu County under his rule, from the government to the counties, the large and small officials had to pay for the work, and after this requirement was issued, more and more people came to the government to ask for work, especially in the agricultural slack season.

As a well-known ** silk person, crossing people, there is naturally a sense of superiority, at the beginning of getting off, of course, you have to point fingers, especially after the crossing, he is still a second-generation official, or a quasi-successor, managing the eleven cities of Shu County, and he is definitely a big man in later generations.

**Once you reach the sky, of course, you have to show what you have learned.

Liu Da Taishou, who is worried about even the people's butt wiping paper, of course has countless ideas and countless projects, waiting in line to get started.

Therefore, no matter how many people come, they are not afraid of running out of work.

I'm afraid that there is no money to give.

For this reason, Xu Shu Shitao cried to Liu Zhang twice in three days, no, he was crying poor. Because you don't arrange work for the people, the people will gather at the gate of the yamen every day, and you will arrange work for it, and you will have no money to pay your wages.

Liu Zhang is not an immortal, and it is impossible to conjure gold and silver for them.

There was really no way, so Liu Zhang told the two and asked them to give IOUs to the people.

Xu Shu and Shi Tao thought that Liu Zhang's head had been kicked by the donkey, so they came up with such a bad idea. However, when I tried it later, it turned out to be quite good.

Because, the people are also willing to pay an IOU, and it is better than working for the government for nothing before.

But the IOUs were more and more, and later the IOUs were beaten, Xu Shu and Shi Tao were both frightened, and they were not at ease on the street every day, always afraid that someone would suddenly rush up to collect debts.

Later, Liu Zhang exchanged Jian Nanchun for hundreds of horses, and asked the people to exchange a certain number of IOUs, which slightly alleviated the daily panic of the two government executives.

The exchange of IOUs for horses also gave rise to another situation, that is, the purchase and sale of IOUs.

Some people want to exchange IOUs for horses, but the IOUs are not enough, and they are willing to pay for the purchase, and they come and go, and the IOUs that have no value are a voucher that can go to the government to receive money and grain, and they have to wait for the government to receive money and grain, and it has become a valuable document later. In a certain way, it has become a kind of circulating currency in disguise.

Of course, Liu Zhang didn't think so far, he is a computer worker, and the problem is very simple, if he can handle it, he will pass, and if he can't deal with it, he will bypass. If you have money, you will be paid, and if you don't have money, you will have to pay your wages if you have an IOU. As for how to turn IOUs into real money, then go through another set of procedures. For example, exchanging IOUs for horses, or exchanging IOUs for new farm tools, there will always be a solution anyway.

Liu Zhang once said ashamedly to teach the people in the government office: "Don't be afraid of spending money, and don't be afraid of owing money. An official who does not spend money is definitely not a qualified official, let alone a good official. A truly good official does not look at whether you are corrupt or not, whether you are corrupt or not, or whether you are honest, but how much you have done practical things for the people and how much you have improved the people's lives.

If an official is not corrupt, not corrupt, but is honest and does not bring any improvement to the lives of the people, such an official is completely incompetent and incompetent.

The government doesn't need to be morally perfect, it's better to be morally perfect. What the government needs is a capable official who can improve the lives of the people and increase the income of the people.

Of course, if officials are corrupt, it means that there is a problem with the entire government structure, the rule of law is not perfect, the rule of law is not effective, and the officials are not well educated. Officials should have two major restraint mechanisms, one is internal ability assessment, and the other is external legal supervision.

All in all, spending money is the most basic quality of an official.

Where is the money spent? How many people have benefited? What has been done and what project has been completed, and what are the follow-up benefits of this project? These are the fundamental questions that examine the competence of an official.

Don't say anything about doing big things with little money. Since it is to spend a small amount of money to do a big thing, there must be one party who suffers, and the one who takes the small money suffers, who is that party, is it the common people? If it is the common people, then you are not spending a small amount of money to do big things, but exploiting the common people.

Of course, we can't give money to the people in vain, or send money to the people in disguise, and we can't let the people develop the habit of getting something for nothing, which will only make the people's enthusiasm for labor decline, and then affect the output of total material wealth. In the end, there is more money and less goods, which pushes up prices and collapses society.

Therefore, it is an art for the government to spend money, and the money should be spent in places that can improve the lives of the people, increase the income of the people, facilitate production, and facilitate the circulation of goods.

If you have a hundred dollars and you spend a hundred dollars, then you are not very capable, and you can't even say that you are competent.

If you have a hundred dollars, and you spend ten thousand dollars, or even more, then you have a great ability. We need people with that ability. Of course, you have to find a way to owe money, and you are the person in charge of the debt.

Even if we don't have any money at all, we still spend a lot of money.

Of course, our money should be spent in a practical way, and it should be spent in a useful place, and we can't just waste it, either because we will fat one or two people, or we will give money away for nothing.

Don't be afraid to owe money, the more you owe, the more advantage we have.

Why do you say that the more you owe, the more you will take advantage of?

Because there is no interest ha. It is exactly equivalent to an interest-free loan, or interest-free borrowing. Of course, the more we borrow, the more we take advantage.

Moreover, if we do not borrow this money, we are actually equal to not having this money. If the common people do not work in their free time, they do not produce any value at all, and they do not have any income. We now borrow the idle labor of the common people, produce value, and the common people also have more income, which is equivalent to two more money for the society. What a bargain this is, and this is the real turning a stone into gold. Moreover, the people will buy things when they have money, and the merchants will pay taxes when they sell things, and the government will have more money.

……”

Because of Liu Zhang's theory of spending money and borrowing money, the current government is in high debt.

For this reason, Xu Shu, Shi Tao and other government officials are worried. Only Liu Zhang didn't care at all, and said to the two in private: "The more you owe, the more stable the status of our government will be." First, as Yuan Zhi said, if we leave now, no one will be willing to fill the vacancy. Of course, the people in the state government above are not stupid, they drove us away, what to do with this pile of debts, who will pay the debts.

Second, the same is true for the people. As long as we convince the people that we will pay them back as soon as we have money, or pay them back with things, they will not make trouble, let alone rise up and rebel and defeat us. If you knock us down, who will give them money, the government will have no money at all. So, they have to point to us. While continuing to work for the government and continuing to ask us to give them IOUs, we also have to hope that we will not collapse, or be transferred or resigned, so that they will have nowhere to ask for money.

So don't be afraid to owe money.

In fact, it is the uncle who owes money. The more you owe, the bigger you get.

Those who dare to spend money on the people, dare to owe money to the people, and the people dare to lend money, such an official government is a really good government.

Of course, next year, we still have to get more productive projects, such as winemaking and papermaking, so that the gap between income and expenditure will not be too big. ”
