"'Desert Conquest Operation', alas, another trick played by the Army Department..." In an office of the Hai'an County Government, Cai Huaze crossed his legs and threw a document on the table, thinking helplessly: "The left and right don't want to disarmament, but how is this possible? Even if four battalions are transferred to Patagonia, the white shirts will join forces to disarmament, at most they will cut less. Well, is this a bargaining method again? In this way, what is the bottom line of the disarmament amount that the Army can accept this time, three thousand, four thousand or five thousand?"

Thinking of this, Cai Huaze roared the bell and asked his secretary to call the top leaders of the county Agriculture Bureau, Industry Bureau, Material Bureau, Commerce Bureau, Finance Bureau Transportation Bureau, and Security Corps to his office for a meeting. Those who were not present were replaced by deputy positions. In short, people from these departments would come over to discuss the next work plan for the Army to implement the "Desert Conquest Operation". That would be a sacrificing person. Not only did the Indians, but they would also be eaten in the four counties and towns in the North Patagonia region, but they would eat money, grain and materials.

Yes, you heard it right! According to convention, local governments often have to pay some blood, such as selling some materials at a low price to the logistics officials of the military headquarters, such as recruiting personnel acting as teachers, such as local government treasury "seconded" materials (often this will become a bad debt), etc. In short, there are a lot of trouble.

It is conceivable how helpless and conflicted local governments will be when encountering these things. After all, it is always difficult to pay out money from their pockets, not to mention that local governments are usually civilian officials. What they prefer is that the Executive Committee and the Military Department cover all the war costs, and then purchase supplies locally to prosper the local economy, even if the war was fought for them. To put it bluntly, people are selfish and only want to enjoy the benefits without taking on obligations. This is what the North Patagonia region thinks at this moment.

Cai Huaze was originally from Qiu Ba, and most of his interactions were army officials. However, since he entered the People's Congress and climbed to the throne of deputy commissioner of the Northern Patagonia region step by step, Cai's butt began to be a little biased. After all, he is now an official of the local administrative system. Although the one who makes the most friends on weekdays is still officials of the military system, the intersection with the civil servant system has gradually begun to increase. Considering some interest factors, it is normal that his current political tendency gradually changes. But no matter what, at least in the eyes of most people, his army color is still very strong. The old family in the political arena will not really trust him. The old military leader in the army still calls him around. Therefore, this time the Army Department wants to cause trouble in the Patconia platform, Cai Huaze must cooperate unconditionally, otherwise he may not be a human inside or outside.

The county officials rushed over one after another. When the county security commander was the last to arrive at the office, Cai Huaze nodded, asked the secretary to take the door, and then spoke directly: "The Army Department may have to perform tasks on our site. There are quite a few people mobilized. Our county (Cai Huaze also serves as the county magistrate of Hai'an County) security team currently has more than 1,200 people, and at least two-thirds have to be transferred. In addition, it is also necessary to raise materials and transportation matters! Anyway, this is the matter. You know now. Let's talk about your own opinions, come one by one."

Cai Huaze has been in charge of Hai'an County for many years. Now he is very familiar with the affairs of the officialdom. He speaks and does things like an old bureaucrat. Many times, people have to admire his learning ability. When the officials below heard his words, they didn't seem surprised. After all, recently, soldiers have come to Taiwan by boat one after another, and there are hundreds of people. They can't be here for vacation, right? These officials are clear.

"County magistrate, let me talk first." Seeing everyone thinking, the material director stood up and spoke first: "The population of our county is currently about 10,000 people. Unfortunately, it happened to be in the middle-class county sequence. Then according to regulations, our county needs to support 200 tons of wheat this time, even if the cost price is counted, it will cost more than 4,500 yuan. In addition, the expenditure on fish, meat, sugar, tobacco, alcohol, tea, clothing, and livestock will not be reduced to 7,500 yuan in total. Including some other miscellaneous expenses, it is unlikely to spend 15,000 yuan in cash this year, and it may be difficult to fool it.

The Director of Materials made everyone a little disturbed. The fiscal expenditure of 15,000 yuan, to be honest, even on the east coast, some inland counties may not be able to raise it in a short time, because this really cannot be considered a small amount of money. Moreover, this is thanks to the "land finance" in recent years. You should know that in the past, a certain inland agricultural county along the Southwest Railway had only this number of annual fiscal revenue in the county. The central government will "rable land transfer fee"

"A considerable part (40% of the cost of farmers to buy land) is handed over to local governments. After the fiscal revenue of various regions and counties has increased explosively, the fiscal revenue of many inland counties has only reached 40,000 to 50,000 yuan. Moreover, the money is often implemented at the beginning of the year. You have to let them use more than 30% of the county's fiscal revenue to do other things in the middle. I'm sorry, I can't raise it for a while.

Hai'an County currently has a population of more than 10,000. Last year, the income from arable land transfer fee was about 30,000 yuan. It is almost the same as the average level in the counties on the east coast. However, this county has some benefits, and many places cannot compare, that is, their income in other taxes is quite large. After all, this county has many seafood processing workshops, marine industries (ship repair, hoops, rope making, sail weaving, etc.), and wool textile industry has also reached a certain scale. In addition, the second ceramic factory, Chuangji Investment Company, has also invested a large amount of investment here, which has given the Hai'an County Government a vast tax source.

Especially the Second Ceramic Factory and Chuangji Investment Company, the former produces ceramics and porcelains and are sold nationwide. Recently, they have begun to sell them to Peru, New Spain, New Courland, Brazil and other places. Although the price is far less than that of porcelain produced in Ming Dynasty, the profit margin is quite high. Therefore, the tax on state tax and local tax is very large. In addition, the regional administration also has shares in this company and receives a lot of dividends every year. Therefore, the company's contribution to the finances of the region and county levels is still quite considerable.

The same is true for Chuangji Investment Company. Although the regional and county governments do not have shares, the huge investment of more than 100,000 yuan along the Chubut River has brought considerable impact on the local economy. After all, many things have to be purchased locally. Of course, although the orchards invested by Chuangji Investment Company are not as profitable as those of the Second Porcelain Factory, it has gradually begun to sell local fresh fruits, dried fruits, canned fruits, and alfalfa, grain, hops, flax and other commodities sold to nearby areas, which also brought considerable profits to the company, and the growth rate of profits is also increasing year by year, which means that the tax amount will also rise.

Therefore, Hai'an County's annual fiscal revenue is about 80,000 yuan, and the expenditure of 15,000 yuan accounts for almost 20%, and the proportion is quite large! If the county wants to raise this expense, it is not known how long it will take to make up for it. Moreover, because a lot of money has been distributed to subordinate units in advance such as the Transportation Bureau to purchase ships, the Agricultural Bureau to purchase fruit seedlings and breeding sheep, the Industrial Bureau to train technicians, the Commercial Bureau to recruit talents, etc. There is not much money left on hand now, so maybe it has to borrow from companies such as the National Grain Reserve Depot Hai'an Branch. In short, it is very troublesome and will disrupt the planning and development of the local economy in the next two years. Therefore, no wonder that it is always difficult for everyone to get a stir just now to pay money from their pockets!

"This money cannot be lost. Not only the county needs expenses, but the regional administration also needs expenses, but it is just a little less. Director Lin, your material department checks inventory as soon as possible, and purchases insufficient goods as soon as possible, so don't miss the big thing." Cai Huaze raised his voice and said, "Director Hao of the Finance Bureau, you must come up with a plan. You must think about where the money will come from and not affect the overall situation. By the way, teachers' salaries cannot be misappropriated. Just dig up money from other projects..." ︽2︽2︽.*2 Pavilion︽2,

"I understand, county magistrate." The director of materials and finance nodded at the same time and said.

Purchasing supplies is a fatal problem. The two directors looked at each other and heard that the two young men of Deputy Commissioner Cai operated tea farms in the Hejian area and also sold some beer and wine. Then, it would be good to come to the door to talk about business and make friends with the young men of the county magistrate. You should know that their immediate boss is one of the members of the founding party committee (commonly known as the People's Congress). I wonder how many people are trying to hug them.

"In addition, Captain Gao, how are the county security team doing? Can it be fought? This time, the superiors will draw the security team in the county and the neighboring Yancheng County. The three counties of Jincheng, Xuanwu and Daliang have not been established for a long time. The situation is complicated and the security team is not in scale. It is probably not transferred. Therefore, our Hai'an County Security Team will draw at least 800 people to fight. Even if we don't fight on the front line, we may be arranged to go to the second line to clear away the remaining enemies, escort and capture and prisoners, and transport materials. Regarding these, you must be mentally prepared in advance. I don't want to see our people making jokes outside. In the past few days, you will find a way to go to various townships and villages to summon people to the county. I want to see how they are practicing..." Cai Huaze was born in Qiu Ba and is very concerned about the construction of military forces, so he proposed to review the troops.

Head of the county security team, Gao, immediately stood at attention and said that he would start immediately and would not disappoint the county magistrate. Next, Cai Huaze talked with several other officials about the issue of logistics transportation and distributing the master. Everyone said that as long as the number of people is controlled reasonably and the funds are in place, it should not have any major impact on the daily work of the county.

"... Finally, I would like to remind you that although it is important to cooperate with the Army Department to carry out the 'Desert Conquest Operation', we should also see that it will not be launched in the first half of this year, so we should not ignore this aspect of economic construction. This is related to the welfare of more than 10,000 people in the county, and should not be ignored." After saying a big message, Cai Huaze reminded everyone in a summary tone, and he continued to say: "What are the three pillars of economic development established by the county? First, the orchard industry in the Chubut River becomes an oasis, which is the top priority; second, the second is the ceramics

Factory, Baitao Township, this county has several rich high-quality kaolin resources, which must be used well. You must know that the sales of ceramics are quite large, and the profit margin is not low. Well, the road from Hai'an Port to Baitao Township needs to be repaired properly, and this financial outlet must be listed. Third, the wool textile industry, the hinterland grassland of this county is vast, which is very suitable for the breeding and growth of sheep. Like other parts of the Patagonia platform, the wool textile industry is also one of the industries that the county focuses on development, and the benefits are also very good, and it is worth making great efforts."

"Only when the economy is developed and tax revenue increases, our finances will not be as difficult as it is now, and the people can also share the benefits of economic development and improve their living standards." Cai Huaze finally concluded: "Okay, I don't talk much nonsense. Let's just start the meeting here. You all hurry up and arrange for me and work, hurry up!"
Chapter completed!
