This area was originally the seat of the Yaqiu government building, but it was destroyed in the battle of the bandit group attacking Yaqiu, and it has been in ruins ever since.

As Ding Kai fled during the fighting, government officials dispersed in a hurry, and many of them disappeared, and there was no one to preside over the government.

After the establishment of the Interim Management Committee of Yaqiu, a series of reconstruction work was started, but due to financial problems, the reconstruction of the government building was never carried out, so the ruins remained unattended in the center of the city.

However, since Ding Kai returned to Yaqiu, he was determined to restart the restoration of the government building.

For Ding Kai, the rebuilding of the government building was not only to have a decent office space, but also a landmark building for him to re-establish as the governor of Aqiu, and as long as there was a new government building, no one could ignore his existence as a governor.

As a result, in addition to trying his best to win over major enterprises, Ding Kai has been planning to rebuild the government building.

To complete such a major project, a huge amount of financial support is naturally indispensable, and Ding Kai himself will not pay this money, so he put his idea on Yaqiu's taxes.

Previously, the tax policy of the Provisional Committee was extremely relaxed, and each company only had to pay a fixed tax to the committee every year, depending on the size.

The main reason for formulating such a tax policy is that there is a lack of sufficient tax personnel, and the committee can only adopt this relatively extensive approach.

If it were to carefully check the operating conditions of the major enterprises, the committee would not be able to find so many people, and could only collect taxes from the enterprises at a modest rate.

However, the Commission also took into account that this would inevitably lead to a lot of tax revenues, and therefore required businesses to provide a certain number of jobs each year in order to address the high unemployment rate in Aqiu.

Such a policy was well received by businesses and the public, which was an important reason why Yaqiu's economy was able to recover so quickly after the war.

When Ding Kai arrived in Yaqiu, he found that a large amount of taxes had not been collected, so that the government had no revenue at all.

So Ding Kai decided to reformulate the tax policy and take Yaqiu's economy into his own hands, as long as he has money, he is afraid that the militia will not be obedient?

Ding Kai first brought the heads of major enterprises to talk to them and told them that the future taxes would be collected by the Yaqiu government, and the committee was only a temporary body and had no power to collect taxes.

As the governor, Ding Kai said it rightly, and the person in charge of the enterprise could not find a reason to object, so he could only temporarily agree.

Ding Kai then announced a new tax policy, which is much more detailed than the extensive tax of the committee.

However, Ding Kai also knows that a sudden increase in taxes is likely to lead to corporate dissatisfaction, so although his tax policy is detailed, it is only a little more than the original tax amount.

Enterprises could not find any reason to oppose it, and this tax policy was not excessive, so most companies acquiesced to the new tax policy.

The Committee could not find any reason to object, after all, it was a temporary civil institution and did not have any reason or power to object.

In this way, Yaqiu's economic power was easily grasped by Ding Kai, and the committee suffered a dumb loss and had nowhere to speak.

Ding Kai immediately found a bank and borrowed a huge amount of money from the bank with Yaqiu's tax as collateral, and then used the money to start the reconstruction project of the government building.

This series of operations not only had a remarkable effect, but also made the committee unable to say anything, and even Liu Yi had to admire Ding Kai's methods.

"It's worthy of being an official for many years and being good at collecting money, this kind of means is indeed better than me." Liu Yi said to the rest of the committee.

As a result of Ding Kai's grasp of the tax revenue, the economic power of the committee was taken away, which in fact put the committee in danger of being hollowed out.

Lao Yang said to Liu Yi: "Don't be busy praising others, think about what our committee should do first, right?" ”

Others also said: "Yes, now that the tax has been taken by Ding Kai, how can the committee continue to operate if there is no fund in the future?" ”

Everyone kicked the ball to Liu Yi, hoping that Liu Yi could come up with a way.

Liu Yi himself thought about this problem, but the reality of the situation made him helpless, Ding Kai was the governor, and it was his power to collect taxes for the empire, while Liu Yi did not have this power.

So Liu Yi asked Tang Lun and Old Man Tang about this problem, and Old Man Tang said to Liu Yi: "You still lack experience as an official, Ding Kai has been mixed in officialdom for so many years, and the connections in various officialdoms are not comparable to you, but you have no interpersonal relationships in officialdom, and you have no chance of winning a head-to-head fight with him." ”

"So what should I do?" Liu Yi asked worriedly.

The old man's suggestion is to let Liu Yi find a way from other places, even if he can't catch the tax in his own hands, try not to let Ding Kai get it, at least no one can get it, so that Liu Yi can still rely on the enterprise as a backing and continue to fight with Ding Kai.

After thinking about it for a few days, Liu Yi came up with a solution, although this method was a little disgraceful.

Liu Yi said to the people in the committee: "I don't have a serious way, but I have a serious way, do you want to hear it?" ”

The people said, "Say it first, and if it is possible, whatever is right or not, as long as it is useful." ”

Liu Yi smiled and said: "My method is like this, we will find someone to go to the construction site of the government building to make trouble, so that the project cannot be carried out and delay the progress of the entire project." ”

After hearing this, everyone didn't understand what Liu Yi meant, and asked one by one with their eyes glared, "Is there any point in doing this?" ”

Liu Yi said: "Why don't you understand? Where did Ding Kai get the money to rebuild the government building? ”

"What's wrong with borrowing from a bank as collateral with taxes?" Lao Yang asked.

"That's right, if the government building can't be completed on time, Ding Kai can't reorganize the government, without government staff, how can Ding Kai collect taxes from enterprises, and how can he repay bank loans without taxes?" Liu Yi explained.

Everyone immediately realized when they heard this, but some people said worriedly: "If Ding Kai finds another place to work temporarily, won't he be able to collect taxes?" ”

"There is indeed such a possibility, but if the construction of the government building cannot be carried out, who will recognize Ding Kai as the governor, a person who can't even build an office building, who will obey him?" Liu Yi said.

"Well, if it were me, I wouldn't work for someone who has no authority." Lao Yang said.

"Of course, in order to prevent him from finding another place to work, I can ask the militia to let out the word, and no one is allowed to rent the house to Ding Kai, otherwise he will not be able to operate." Liu Yi's words made the people in the committee suddenly feel a chill in their backs.

If it was before, Liu Yi would never have used this method, but now he has realized that against people like Ding Kai, using an upright method is actually very limited.

In fact, Ding Kai's reinstatement of officials also relied on bribing officials, and the purpose of his coming to Yaqiu was also to earn back the money he made to buy officials.

Therefore, Liu Yi has already figured it out, there is no need to tell him anything about dealing with such a person, once Ding Kai regains control of Yaqiu, it is still the people of Yaqiu who are unlucky.

"Okay, let's do it, I hope it doesn't make a mess of Aqiu." Several members of the committee said.

Lu Gang said: "I will not hear anything today. ”

A few days later, a group of militiamen suddenly came to the construction site of the government building, demanding that the construction party stop work immediately.

Seeing that the militia didn't look like they were joking, the person in charge hurriedly stepped forward to negotiate and asked the reason for the request to stop the work.

"Your construction is too noisy, we have received a lot of complaints, you have caused a huge disturbance to the surrounding residents, and you must stop work immediately." Said the leader of the militia.

"Big brother, don't be kidding, okay? Who is not so noisy in construction? If you complain, we can make financial compensation, and you can say how much it will cost, right? "It's not the first time that the person in charge of the construction company has encountered such a situation, so he immediately offered financial compensation.

Generally speaking, this kind of thing is a matter of giving money, and the difference is only in the amount of money.

"Who told you to just give money?" The militia captain immediately stepped back and said, "Tell you, the order we received is to stop your work immediately, and we don't care about the issue of compensation!" ”

"No, if the work is stopped, we won't be able to explain to the above." The person in charge said.

"We can't help it, it's an order from above, if you don't stop working, it's my turn to be unlucky. You better stop first, and if there is a problem, you let the people above solve it. Don't force us to do it, everyone is a local, and if you are arrested, you will hurt your face. ”

When the person in charge of the construction saw that the militia captain was serious, he knew that this matter could not be discussed, so he could only find someone above, and he really couldn't afford such a responsibility.

"Okay, I'll stop for a moment and wait for me to go and report to the top." The person in charge of construction said dejectedly.

Soon the noisy construction site was quiet, all kinds of construction machinery stopped running, and the workers were told to take a temporary vacation and go back to wait for the notice to resume work.

The news was quickly reflected to Ding Kai, and Ding Kai became angry when he heard it, slammed the wine glass in his hand on the ground, and said angrily: "Good for your willow wings!" Dare to play yin with me, see how I clean you up! ”

Ding Kai immediately turned on the video call and called Lei Kun from the ghost mastiff group, and soon Lei Kun appeared in the video.

"Lei Kun, immediately take people to the construction site of the government building in the city center, there is a group of militia to make trouble, clean them up for me!" Ding Kai said through gritted teeth.
