Shangguan Feiyun looked at the Daimyo, whose face had improved, and said in his heart: "I'll give you a sweet date first!" ”

Then he continued: "After the separation of the public treasury and the private treasury, it is even more admirable that you, the daimyo have completely delegated power over financial matters in order to show that you are not greedy for the country's money, and this is where the problem arises. In fact, this is not a problem in the first place, after all, there are so many officials under you, but your positioning of financial management is insufficient, which leads to problems. ”

"First: Finance is a process of income and expenditure. Under the condition that the national strength remains unchanged, the income is basically stable. Then spending is a science. It cannot be unplanned and forward-looking, and it is not a matter of filling in where there is a problem. An important criterion for spending is to be able to increase income next year. ”

The department in charge of finance, he wants to divide the money into three parts. Hard spending, soft spending, contingency spending.

For example, the unchangeable part of officials' salaries is hard spending.

For example, in the midst of the war, a large number of people are displaced and have no fixed residence, so the state has to contribute money to solve the difficulties of these people, which is an emergency expenditure.

And the most critical is soft expenditure, but also the most important part, such as the current power industry, all are private power supply, not only the charges are different, and the voltage is unstable, often there are power outages, but the development and importance of electricity is self-evident. However, the development and popularization of electricity is simply not something that an individual can afford. Then the state can step in to regulate management, finance development, and in the long run, bring huge revenues to the country.

Especially after the realization of national power supply, everyone can use cheap and high-quality power supply. For example, air conditioners need such a power supply, and everyone in the world can install air conditioners in their homes. For the people, they pay less money, but the quality is higher.

For the Fire Nation, that would be a huge regular income. Of course, this time may be very long, maybe five years, or even ten years, to spread across the country. Then this process requires the financial department to carry out cost forecasting, planning, control, accounting, analysis and assessment, reduce consumption and save costs.

Shangguan Feiyun frothed at the mouth, and slowly financed, national bonds, and other concepts were also spoken. The officials listened in fascination, and some of the shrewd businessmen in the stronghold had green eyes.

Time passed little by little, and he had already squirted out all the ink in his stomach, how to be the country's finance minister, of course he didn't know, but how to be the financial manager of a company, he still understood. But it seems that the effect is good, and even Tai and Jingkang's eyes are hot when they look at him.

"Let's talk about it first, I don't do it!" Shangguan Feiyun suddenly came with such a sentence, and everyone was confused by one sentence.

"Poof!" Ji Ruxue laughed, after the edification of meat jokes, she naturally understood the meaning of "engaging in base". Pretty said with a crimson face: "It's too bad! ”

"I'm cold!" Shangguan Feiyun looked at the people with cold faces, smiled wryly, and said: "I won't say much about the specific details, but I believe that you have already understood, if the construction of the electric field is completed, it will bring huge income to the country of fire, and it will also bring convenience and comfortable life to the residents of the country of fire." And this is just a project, what if there are a few more? This is the role of the financial department, and this is the improvement of the entire national strength. ”

"In this way, our Fire Country will become richer and richer, and the people of our Fire Country will be happier and happier."

"But if you want to make such a plan happen, a second problem arises. Now the status of the financial department of the Fire Country is too low, it is not in the cabinet, and it is subject to Minister Zuo, not to mention that they will not make plans, even if their plans are good, Minister Zuo will not be able to say a word, it will be in vain. Moreover, this work requires cooperation between various departments, and if the cabinet does not pay attention to it, how can it be implemented? ”

"So in the current Fire Country, financial work is only superficial. There are only two types of spending, hard spending, and contingency spending. Where it is necessary to fill in, in this case, the national strength will not be increased at all. Normally, it's fine, but with the increase in population, once there is a natural disaster, a man-made disaster, there will be problems with the country's finances, so what should I do? Speaking of this, Shangguan Feiyun stopped and gave everyone a time to think.

There were only a few people in the entire hall, revealing a trace of realization, and most of them frowned. Even officials are like this, let alone ordinary people.

With the spread of the people, more and more people gathered in various bases of Kyoto City, and they were able to indirectly participate in a regular national meeting, which was not seen in a hundred years. And it's such a highlight.

"yes, so what?"

"What else can I do? Chilled salad! I didn't look at so many people now, dying of disease and starvation, and the state didn't care. ”

"That's it!"

"There should be a way! Our Fire Nation has gone through so many tribulations, hasn't it come over like this? ”

"That's right, that little ghost is alarmist."

……

All sorts of discussions went on until the loudspeaker came back and all the sounds came to an abrupt halt.

Shangguan Feiyun looked at it almost, and said coldly: "There are only two ways, first: riot, and then suppress." Second: wage war. ”

"What happens when people are displaced, they have enough to eat and no warm clothes? Either starve to death, or you can only rob and steal. There is nowhere to go, and in the end you can only end up in the grass. What to do if you endanger one party? So a large number of ninjas and samurai will go over and kill directly. People are dead, and the natural problem is solved. ”

"Second: to start a war, to grab the resources of other countries, and to win the natural solution to the problem. If you lose, a large number of people will die in the war, and if there are fewer people, the problem will naturally be solved. But no matter what is done, it is the people who suffer. ”

"Now why are the other four countries attacking the Fire Country, the reason is very simple, they are poor! Even if they know that they will continue to fight poorer and poorer, they must divert the contradictions, so that everyone's attention is on the war, and let the problematic part of the people fend for themselves, starve to death, and die of disease in the war. And they still have a glimmer of hope, what if they win? ”

Shangguan Feiyun directly threw out a bloody reality and threw it in front of everyone, without hiding it, causing the entire Kyoto City to fall silent.

This is a question that they have never thought about, in their opinion war is a ninja thing, they just have to pay their taxes, and that's it. Anyway, in the end, the war was won, and their good days came, but no one noticed that in the long war, there were countless people who slowly disappeared.

This is also why in the original book, before the four wars, the country of fire, or the entire Hokage world, has been going downhill, because the war has been too long. Because population is always the most valuable resource in this world. Even if you have a mountain of gold, but there is only one person, how much can you pick.

Taihe Jingkang's eyes were even full of tears, but he didn't expect that his most proud financial separation turned out to be one of the banes of the country.

Shangguan Feiyun continued: "It can be said that all this is the fault of the daimyo, because you don't pay enough attention to the finance department. ”

Zhi and Youli looked at Shangguan Feiyun with a pale face at this moment. This little ghost talked for a long time, and finally threw the pot at him.

Shangguan Feiyun ignored Zhi and Youli's faces, and continued: "This is the importance of the financial department, not a pocket for the state to manage money, but a money printing machine that makes money more and more. ”

"Of course, the leader of this department is not someone who wants to be the leader, if you spend the right money, it will be a rich country and rich people, if you spend it wrong, it will be a disaster for the country and the people. Because each expenditure is not only designed to cooperate between various departments, but also involves vision and capacity. But once someone is really up to the task, then the power of the Fire Nation will be unstoppable. ”

The daimyo said coldly: "If there really is such a person, his rights are still not up to heaven, and he is bigger than my daimyo!" ”

Shangguan Feiyun was happy, and said in his heart: "The name is too good, how many fans do you have to lose this sentence!" ”

He explained: "The daimyo does not need to worry, first of all, the person in this position, he must have a detailed plan, have a budget, and the money belongs to the state, not his. So his plan needed the approval of the cabinet and the daimyo. Secondly, he only cares about the money of this person, such as samurai, and ninjas are not under his control. In addition, those who take up this position must have a high level of ideological awareness and the ability to resist pressure. ”

"Because you know you saw the beautiful side of him, but you didn't see the uncomfortable side of him. For example, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the Ministry of War both need money now, but he only has one copy of the money in his hand, and no matter who he gives it to, he will offend another person. This position is not easy to deserve, and it can't be done without a fearless spirit of sacrifice. ”

Daimyo's face instantly improved a lot, and he realized that what this kid said was very reasonable. The overall situation in the Fire Nation right now is that there is not enough money to spend. As soon as this position is put on the horse, how many people will be offended.

Shangguan Feiyun saw that the time had come and said, "Therefore, there are serious shortcomings in the finances of our Fire Country, and this problem must be solved. The first is that the head of the finance sector must be in the cabinet. Second, the leader's personnel must have a long-term and accurate vision and the courage to make decisions when they are decided. In the end, the character of the leader must be convincing. ”

"The kid is here to elect Lord Taihe Yonglu to be the first Minister of Finance of the Fire Country, and from then on, all the finances will be managed by the Minister of Finance, and no one else is allowed to interfere, only the cabinet and the daimyo retain the right to supervise!"
