Chapter 317: Master Jia is in deficit
What is the concept of a deficit of 170,000 taels?
The financial revenue of Sichuan Province is only one million taels, and the Gansu side is less than 500,000 taels, and a state-level mausoleum affiliated to the Civil Affairs Bureau has lost one-fifth of the Sichuan Provincial Finance in a year.
Jia Liu is so angry, he took over a bad account without getting any good things in the tomb, and no one is happy.
170,000 taels!
He, the minister in charge of the three grades, only has a legal salary of 130 taels a year, counting 6,000 taels of incorruptible silver, and it takes 30 years to fill this hole without eating or drinking.
This is not a pit father, this is a pit master.
There was no cash truck for him to rob in this shabby place of Jingling, and there was no ammunition and food for him to cooperate with the enemy.
In addition to repairing the broken yamen, there are no other big projects for him to do.
So where is Jia Liu going to get 170,000 taels to fill the hole?
This is really an officer for the Qing Dynasty and Aixin Jueluo, and Jia Liu will never be able to put his hard-earned money into it.
Therefore, the account must not be recognized.
But soon, Jia Liu pinched his nose and recognized it.
Why?
According to the unspoken rules of the Qing Dynasty officialdom, the successor does not turn over the accounts of the predecessor.
If you want to turn it over, you should bring it up when you hand it over.
If you don't bring it up, the "horn" will be stamped, which means that you, the new governor-general, have admitted the account.
admitted the account and turned his face, this is not the former minister in charge, but many, many people.
It's also strange that Jia Liu didn't pay attention, just now he patronized the formalities, but he didn't expect to check the accounts of his predecessor, but now it's okay, the deficit of 170,000 taels is his own.
Besides, if he really checks the accounts, he can't check the accounts.
This is because this huge deficit was not left by the previous governor, but by many governors.
How do you check this?
The problems left over from history are not as simple as checking the deficit.
The reason why none of the previous governors have exposed the financial problems left by their predecessors has already been explained.
It is very likely that it was only a few thousand taels at the beginning, but as a result, it accumulated in one term and became the astronomical amount it is today. In the end, when this astronomical number rolls bigger and bigger, and it forms a serious social problem, then whoever is the last pick-up man will be the thunderbolt.
Don't blame the predecessors, that's the rule.
Niang Xipi!
Looking at the thick stack of account books, Jia Liu thought to himself, this fucking must force him to pry the big gold tooth in the mouth of Emperor Shengzuren.
"My lord, the deficit is bigger, but some are in a hurry to pay it back, and some are not in a hurry to pay it back..."
According to him, there are more than 30,000 taels that need to be solved urgently, because the creditors behind these accounts have a background and cannot afford to offend.
Some of them are not paid attention to at all, such as the expenses of the previous governors and ministers to entertain past ministers and officials.
According to what Delwang said, at the end of the account book, Jia Liu found that the entertainment expenses of Jingling in these years were as high as more than 49,000 taels.
That is, the money owed for food and drink alone is as high as more than one-third of the deficit.
"How did you eat so much silver?"
Jia Liu was shocked by this cost of eating and drinking, and he could get 50 million yuan when converted into RMB.
These guys can't eat dragon liver and phoenix gall!
Thinking about it again, he has always been honest and honest since he became an official, and he only strictly demanded himself with the standard of four dishes and one soup at each meal, and it was rare to eat the hospitality meals of his subordinates or colleagues, and these grave guards ate tens of millions of yuan just by eating, which was simply unbearable.
Delwang explained that it is true that Jingling is a cold-water yamen, but it can't stand that every year, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs send people to inspect, and other yamen also come, so the cost of ushering in the reception is too much.
In the early years, it was okay, and all expenses could be reimbursed.
However, in the past decade or so, the situation has been grim, and the treasury has no money, so it is difficult to report the expenses.
For example, it should have been reported as 10,000 taels, but the Internal Affairs Office only approved 2,000 taels at most, and what should I do with the remaining 8,000 taels?
The east wall could only be demolished to make up for the west wall and diverted it, but the more it was moved, the more it was moved, and now a huge deficit of 170,000 taels was formed.
"What debts do you need to settle in a hurry?"
If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government, and you will have to do things in your position, since the predecessors owe so much money, there is no reason for Manager Jia to deny it.
I was ready to go through the program,
It's to see how much money is allocated this year, and then continue to move like the predecessors.
As long as he can fool around, as long as this matter doesn't explode in his office.
He Shen said that Qianlong would come to Yuling in the second half of the year, and entertained the old man, and he might be able to leave this place by then.
Delwang was about to say when there was a commotion outside, vaguely mixed with the screaming of a woman.
This made Jia Liu suddenly pull down his face, since he was a new official, these guys don't want to give gifts, just forget it, what's the matter, and give him a horse?
As a result, this matter is really not that the following guys want to show the "color" to Manager Jia, but the nearby shops and restaurants, including the unit responsible for road and engineering maintenance for Jingling, knew that the new minister in charge of the minister had taken office, and they all ran over to ask for money.
There are project funds, entertainment expenses, melons, fruits and vegetables supply costs, incense burner fees...
I don't know if there is a girl who loses her youth or something.
More than 100 people came in a hurry, one by one clamoring outside to see the chief steward, and the Eight Banners soldiers guarding the tomb may have short mouths and short hands, or some money is their own at all, so they don't stop it, shouting that the yamen is heavy and can't make noise, but they keep putting people inside.
Seeing that something was not right, Delwang prepared to go out and chase people away.
Jia Liu thought about it, but he went out to meet these creditors, and he didn't say anything to these excited creditors, as long as the two children brought by the family made a record for these creditors.
It is to register them one by one, and then he can check them against the ledger when he goes back.
"The official has just taken office, and the official is not familiar with many situations, but since you are here, the official will never just drive you away, there are too many accounts, everyone you and I say a word, the official can't hear clearly, there is no law, so let's do it, it's better for everyone to report the account to the official, and go back to the official to do things according to the account, as long as the official is in office for one day, everyone will find a way to clear the account..."
What he said is affectionate, righteous, and reasonable.
It actually means "just wait".
Dealing with these people, Jia Liu is naturally experienced, and occasionally says a few words that move the creditor, and he has the image of Jia Qingtian.
For these debts, Jia Liuyemen cleared, some of them were really anxious and really debts, and some of them had a lot of debts.
For example, the supply of Jingling melons, fruits, vegetables and daily necessities, he can solve them when he looks back, after all, there is not much silver.
But some creditors, I'm sorry, you will definitely not reply to you when you come to the general manager, after all, there are IOUs and projects.
But when exactly there will be money, this will have to be discussed.
But don't worry!
With such a large unit as me, it's impossible not to pay back!
After appeasing and sending the creditors away, Jia Liu immediately convened a meeting of officials above the sixth grade.
The meeting went straight to the point.
It is what engineering projects need to be repaired in Jingling.
As soon as the minister in charge asked this, the officials of the Eight Banners of all sizes were energetic, and said dozens of articles without blinking an eye, of course, there were also sycophants who proposed that the general manager's yamen must be rebuilt, and the staff dormitory should also be repaired by the way.
Jia Liu instructed Delwang to record this incident as a key point, and as a leading cadre, improving the living environment for his subordinates is the most popular and effective thing.
The rest will be discussed again.
At this time, Hatu, who was in charge of the defense of the mausoleum, got up and said: "Lord Governor, according to the lower officials, the underground palace of Emperor Shengzuren is very likely to seep water. ”
Ay!
At first glance, this Hatu is a loyal man for the country.
Jia Liu's spiritual head immediately came, and motioned to Hatu to elaborate.
------Off topic------
