Complaining is complaining, this thief ship is on board, and the president has to wipe his ass if he doesn't want to.

There is no way, the six devils all use Xiao He, Zhuge Liang, Fang Xuanling, and Li Shanchang to describe him, and it is really unreasonable to say that he does not have the strength to do it.

"There is no other way at the moment, but to reduce expenses, deal with the things in front of you first, and talk about it later."

The chairman proposed a general routine operation, which is to deduct the expenditure of civil servants in Sichuan, in the name of helping to quell the chaos and reduce the burden on the imperial court.

Of course, this civil servant should also be treated differently, and the focus is on deducting officials below the sixth grade.

For example, in the past, I received 100 yuan in a month, and this month I received 60%, or 50%.

There are nearly 4,000 officials below the sixth grade in Sichuan, and these officials are also the main body of Sichuan officialdom, and if each person receives less than 2 taels per month, they can save 8,000 taels a month.

It is nearly 100,000 taels a year.

Compared with the annual income of the whole Sichuan, it is only one million taels, and these 100,000 taels are obviously a large number.

Officials of the sixth grade or above are issued with a proper salary, but the maintenance of honest silver will be temporarily withheld.

Because compared with Yulu, the maintenance of incorruptible silver is the main income of officials.

Since the Kangxi period, the prefect of the four grades of incorruptible silver is 2,500 taels to 3,000 taels a year, and the governor is 1,500 to 2,000 taels. The incorruptible silver in Qipinzhi County is between 1,000 taels and 1,800 taels.

It is usually 30 times higher than the regular price.

If the president stops raising incorruptible silver, there are 624 officials above the seventh grade and below the fourth grade, and the monthly savings are about 40,000 taels of incorruptible silver, and if the policy lasts for a year, it can save 500,000 taels.

In addition, the salaries of the teachers and staff of the prefecture, prefecture and county public schools that eat the provincial treasury meal, such as the prefecture school, the state school, and the county school, should also be deducted by half, and a rough calculation can save 7,000 to 10,000 taels of silver per month.

Because the other officials of the various yamen did not have a grade and belonged to the officials who did not enter the stream, their salaries were not allocated by the feudal treasury, but were raised by the yamen in various places, so the governor really could not find a reason to deduct other people's money.

Roughly counting the detailed accounts, just deducting the expenditure of civil servants can reduce the allocation of about 60,000 taels a month.

Don't underestimate these 60,000 taels, which can play a big role in reducing the financial burden.

"What do you think?"

When the chairman looked up at Jia Liu, he found that the other party had an expression on his face that seemed to be excited.

Coughing lightly, Jia Liu asked the chairman if this would cause a backlash from the officials below and whether it would reduce the quality of life of the officials.

After all, it's food from someone's bowl.

The elder glanced at Devil Six and snorted, "Does the forehead live on Yulu?" ”

"Ah, yes, yes!"

A Luzhou prefect gave a return gift to the admiral is 15,000 taels, can it be pointed out that this prefect lives on his salary?

"However, for the sake of the official voice, something needs to change."

Jia Liu put forward his own opinion, that is, to change "deduction" to "donation".

"Buckle to donate?"

The president thought for a while, and was a little embarrassed, "It's not easy to send the money and let them donate it." ”

"Your Excellency is confused, isn't it? You can't send the money down, just deduct it, and then give each of them a certificate of voluntary donation. ”

Jia Liu must remind the president that he still has to make up for it after deducting this thing, and deducting the officials below is not very good for the president's official voice, but the donation is different, and there is light on the face of the governor and the officials in Sichuan.

Because this shows that the officials of Sichuan Province collectively have the imperial court and have the Qing Dynasty in their hearts.

"No wonder they say your name is Devil Six, it's really a good devil!"

The president nodded again and again, the method is the same, but the change of one deduction and one donation is infinitely subtle.

"However, this donation can only last for a month or two, not for a long time, and if you always ask the people below to donate money, there will definitely be complaints."

In order to solve the imminent financial crisis, Jia Liu put forward one of his own ideas, that is, he would invest 500,000 taels to set up a money bank that would be connected between the government and the people in Sichuan Province.

Then, in the name of the provincial government, the governor will open Sichuan Qianzhuang to every prefecture, prefecture and county in Sichuan, and cities and towns with slightly larger populations will also be established.

If it is not possible to resolve the crisis in a physical way for the time being, financial means must be used.

Jia Liu has learned that the money bank in this year does not give interest to the depositor, but has to pay high exchange fees, that is, handling fees.

The silver notes used by the money bank are not banknotes, but exchange vouchers issued by the money bank, and the main customers are dignitaries and merchants who do large transactions.

A silver ticket avoids the risk of carrying a large amount of cash, and it is convenient. But it can't be circulated in the market, for example, if you take ten taels of silver to buy a chicken at a stall, the chicken seller will never accept it.

Because one has to be cashed out to the silver number, and the other is to pay a handling fee.

But Sichuan Qianzhuang is different.

As long as the people save money, they will be given interest, such as saving 100 wen and 5 wen with annual interest.

The more you save, the higher the interest.

When withdrawing money, no handling fee will be deducted, so as to "benefit the people".

What's more, the tickets presented by this Sichuan money bank can be used to offset government taxes, or fines or something.

Jia Liu's face was smug: "The people's money has been saved to our bank, are you still afraid that you will have no money?" ”

"It's a good deal for nothing!"

The president also thinks this method is good, but he is worried that if this Sichuan money village is just built, the credit is afraid that it will not be as good as the ticket number of those old money banks, so he is worried that the people will not save the money.

In that case, it's still an empty shell.

"My lord, you are the governor of Sichuan."

Jia Liu looked at the elder meaningfully.

"What do you mean?"

The Elder doesn't quite understand.

Jia Liu had no choice but to ask the president: "My lord, who do you say the people listen to?" ”

The president didn't hesitate: "Of course it's up to the government." ”

"Who does the government listen to?"

"Huh? .... Let's take it personally. ”

Of course, Jia Liu has to say it carefully, your chairman is the governor of Sichuan, the number one leader in Sichuan Province, and I, Jia Jia Shikai, am the governor of Sichuan and the boss of the whole Sichuan army.

"Governors" cooperate to run a money bank, whether it is an official or a common person, or a wealthy businessman and gentry, if they don't say that they will give interest, they will not give interest, who would dare not to deposit their money?

Whoever does not give face to the "superintendent" is the enemy of the imperial court.

A further approach is to have the prefectures and counties below the governor's yamen make a list and send the people in the six rooms of the yamen to mobilize the people to save money.

"Yu Dahu will give a designated deposit amount, more government awards, and fewer officers and soldiers will enter the door... Tell me, my lord, is this business prosperous? ”

Jia Liu laughed himself.

The chairman pondered for a while, couldn't help nodding, and then sighed: "The emperor doesn't need you to be the secretary of the household department, it's a matter of subjugation." ”

"I also think it's too condescending, it's better to hand over the inner library to me, the emperor doesn't have to worry about anything, he eats and drinks every day, and he just waits for death."

As Jia Liu spoke, he pinched a beard on his chin with two fingers, and pulled it hard, painful and happy.

"Yes, what you said reminded me that if everyone in Sichuan keeps their money in us, then even if we rebel, do the people in Sichuan have to hope that we succeed?"

This bold and realistic idea made the chairman can't help but take out his snuffbox and sniff it fiercely.

As for the taste, it is pure, and it is very strong.

Ladies and gentlemen, do you say that you are proud and careful?
