County Magistrate Cheng and Chairman Dong looked at each other and shook their heads slightly. After more than half a year together, everyone could see that, not only did other abilities, Du Zhongxiao's ability to make money was first-rate. He said he wanted everyone to discuss it, but most of the time he had already had a plan in his mind.

Seeing that everyone was not talking, Yao Anle whispered: "We are not as good as our superiors. After studying for so many years, we have a high school Jinshi, and we are full of ideas for governing the country and ensuring the people. If we have a way to make money, which one of us can still be an official? What are the good ways for the superiors? Just tell us and we will do what we can do!"

County Magistrate Cheng and Chairman Dong nodded repeatedly and applauded together.

Du Zhongxiao took the troops from the county to custody. Yao Anle, the new inspector, was his subordinate. He was about to get close to the superior. He was an imperial guard who went to the northwest to fight. He was injured and tried every means to ask for such an elderly care errand. The habit in the military camp was straightforward, and even currying for the superior. Don’t be afraid of being embarrassed, the people in the military camp were rushing to do such things.

Looking at everyone's expectant eyes, Du Zhongxiao said: "I thought of a solution, but I don't know whether it is feasible or not. I will tell you what you want."

"The most difficult thing in the county is actually not us, but those public officials and servants. Most of them not only have no salary, but also have to pay for their own work for the Shangguan from time to time. It's really pitiful. Last year, many officials in the county were implicated in the Ma Meng case. Although most of them were unrighteous, there were always a few of them helpless. As officials, we should think about them and have no worries about food and clothing. Who would do those things that violated the crime? They could support their families, and if someone colluded with local snakes and rats, we would be confident in dealing with them."

When Du Zhongxiao kept talking about the difficulties of public officials, the few people couldn't help but look at each other, wondering what he was selling. His life was hard enough when he became an official, and who had the time to care about those public officials.

Du Zhongxiao also said: "It is the most difficult to be a county magistrate. Every penny is under the jurisdiction of the state, and every political affairs must be followed by the command of the state. We are just the hands and feet of the state that are stretched to this place. Or, for this county, we officials are outsiders. How can outsiders make money in the place? All the use of the county government must be placed on the public servants. I think so. The county has a special warehouse, and the commission is dedicated to the management of the people, and all the money earned is stored in the warehouse. The purpose of this warehouse is to pay salaries to the public servants in the county. Once they have food and clothing, they will no longer strip the people. On weekdays, you can also pay money from it. Do you think it is okay?"

Chairman Dong was a person in charge of money. After hearing this, he thought for a moment and understood what Du Zhongxiao meant. Whether in the name of the yamen or the name of an official, he had no right to set up his own treasury at the county level, and economic entities were not allowed. So if you want to make money, you can only go through the hands of the public officials. What does it matter if the officials cannot pay money from the library? As long as the public officials do things, they don’t give them money. The county officials have done a lot of such things before, and several magistrates paid for their own food and drink. Such a treasury is nominally the public officials, but in fact it is a small treasury for officials, and it is a disguised ministerial treasury. The money in the provincial ministerial treasury is actually the same. It can only be used and cannot be taken back to their own home.

After understanding this, Chairman Dong was the first to applaud: "It is our blessing to be so considerate to the magistrate!"

County Magistrate Cheng didn't understand it for a moment, and when he saw Chairman Dong applauding, he also applauded. The chief clerk understood the most about money and food.

When the others saw the two leaders' praise, they clapped their hands together, regardless of whether they understood or not.

Du Zhongxiao said: "Okay, then set up a treasury in the county to persuade public officials and servants to abide by the law. The capital of this treasury is not available for public funds, and it is not easy to be entrusted to the people. I think it is better to come on credit. In recent days, most of the people in the yamen are local high-quality households. Let them raise them together, so the profits can be negotiated. Which of us can't trust? When the business has interest, we will pay back the capital."

Chairman Dong said: "What the magistrate said is that Ma Meng made the whole county uneasy. Most of the previous yamen were useless, and they have almost all changed recently. They are already wealthy families, so why not get some money? Just pay them back after making money."

Yao Anle looked at Du Zhongxiao, then turned to look at Chairman Dong, and was stunned for a moment. So Is this possible? If you don’t pay a penny, you have to build a database to do good deeds for the public officials. It’s not right, these capitals are paid by these people.

Du Zhongxiao was a magistrate, and how could he pay for business for business? With his ability to make money, it should be that others should use it for themselves. If the county’s financial power was not completely deprived of by the state, he would not have to spend so much effort. Building a warehouse in the name of public officials is equivalent to the public officials who raise funds to do business by themselves. The money they earned not only satisfies their court, but also gives them food and clothing. As for which links seem to be wrong, everyone has their own ideas. What matters to Du Zhongxiao, he is just a skill to make money.

The county is not a complete regime at the first level. It is essentially a dispatched agency in the state, and its financial power is completely accepted into the state. No matter what Du Zhongxiao does, as long as he makes money, it is the industry in the state, and it is difficult to manage it. For example, he made some money by making fireworks and firecrackers, and was taken away the next year, and the state also set up an official position as an official.

This is the position of the magistrate. Du Zhongxiao finally saw it clearly. In this position, it is okay to make some money by making small fuss and improve the current situation of himself and his subordinates. Large industries cannot be built. As long as you become a magistrate, you will be taken to the state and out of your control. Therefore, it is better to be a magistrate to study some new technologies and accumulate political experience.

Why is the Ma Meng case so widely involved? It is because it involves public officials at both prefecture and county levels, and the yamen is infiltrated like a sieve. If the treatment of public officials cannot be solved, this kind of thing will happen in the future and will definitely happen.

The county-level finance was completely taken away by superiors. Not to mention the construction projects benefiting the local area, it was simply maintained, and the remaining little money in the state was not enough. Where to make up for it? In fact, the public officials who worked in the yamen had to pay for it themselves. If they did not commit crimes, these positions would not only not make money to support their families, but also pay for their own property. It is not enough to add extra taxes to the subordinates, because as long as the name was established, the money would be received in the state, and there was only so much water left in the county, which had nothing to do with the ethics of the officials.

If you want to build the county well, Du Zhongxiao could only build a separate treasury as a public official. This treasury cannot use official money, otherwise if you are not good, you will be labeled as abuse of public funds and you can only raise funds by the public officials themselves. The reason is actually the same as the matter of land management, that is, the court has too strict control over local finances, so it has to set up some collectively owned economic entities to fight for the local interests. Du Zhongxiao has the means to make money, and developing these local economic entities is to do good things for the county. As for whether the officials will be accepted into the state in the future, it is to take others' affairs later. The county level is destined to be just a springboard for Rentu, and Du Zhongxiao is the same. In fact, there is not much room for play.

Du Zhongxiao spent so long and used a lot of brains to think clearly about why he had a collective economy in his previous life. The collective economy was to provide wealth to the local government to make up for the disadvantages of excessive financial centralization. Of course, he lost the collective economy, no wonder no one else. Fortunately, there was no political task to protect employment in this era. The official entity had no idea of ​​losing money, and it was sold and closed if it could not make money.
