Chapter 681 Appropriation System
In a few days, all the financial matters in Youzhou City were reintegrated and the appropriation system was implemented. Now the annual funds applied for by each department require a lot of accounting.
Today, the meeting was held to discuss, and Li De directly sat in the city guard office and all the civil and military officials who were in charge of the city came to listen.
Li De highly recognized the management method of separation of civil and military affairs, and it did not affect each other when implemented. The effect was very good in Youzhou.
Li De sat at the first seat of the conference table and asked directly about the budget needs of each department. He decided to ask the officials to talk about it first, and then make arrangements based on the actual situation.
Everyone knows that today's meeting is related to the operating expenses of the department they are in. The faces of gentle people who are usually not kind.
"Now, the taxes and non-special income of the Chengshoufu are all transferred to Youzhou Treasury. In the future, the funds will be allocated according to the project application funding method. The officials of the Chengshoufu need to strictly review and control it."
Li De explained that this news has been around for a long time, and today the announcement will be made according to this.
If it is replaced by the model of applying for funds, the rights of the officials of the City Guardian will have more weight, and everyone who is doing it is well aware of it.
The greater the power you hold, the greater the desire for treatment and welfare.
Li De looked at the expressions of everyone and knew that someone was thinking about good things in the future at this time.
No one has disturbed everyone's fantasy, no one has pursued it yet.
Seeing that the time was almost over, Li Decai continued: "In order to supervise the cost of money, a special supervision department was established to specifically investigate and deal with major cases such as corruption."
In fact, it is a sharp blade hanging over the heads of officials.
After Li De said that, the Supervision Department selected elite guards to supplement their troops and could directly order people to arrest them when there was conclusive evidence.
Don’t underestimate the arrest authority. This arrest authority must be more advanced and be directly responsible to the governor.
The reason why supervision was not established before was because all work was initially carried out, and there were too many departments that were not sound, especially the emergence of some departments with special functions would affect the development of the system.
Now the power of Youzhou has stabilized, and it is forced by the situation to set up supervision.
The officials couldn't say anything. The Youzhou power has the greatest power. Many people have various ideas in their minds, and they all look at each other to see what the other person's expression is.
The atmosphere is very important. Li De can allow officials to develop under the constraints of government orders, but he cannot let them do anything wrong.
Without supervision for a long time, officials will do whatever they want without restraint, which is very unfavorable to future development.
"Now start talking about the budget needs of each department." Li De continued.
The biggest civil servant in the City Guardian was Li Shimin. He could be said to be a bystander in the matter of seeking money, and he was undoubtedly concerned about the distribution ratio between the City Guardian and the vanguard soldiers.
"The Grand Governor, the normal expenses of the city guard's office, plus the investment in construction projects, require at least 50%." Li Shimin said.
50% of the total tax means 50% of the account with the Pioneer Army. If you want to maintain a balance, unfortunately, this idea will not work from now on.
Li De’s meaning is very clear that finances should be integrated and distributed as needed. How to use Youzhou’s money is formulated through the situation of the development conference, and then finance will allocate funds. As for how to use it, it is necessary to apply for funds based on local conditions and complete the development projects within the plan every year.
Account records are essential and must be strictly carried out according to needs. Audits are required every six months to check the accounts. This is an indispensable step for supervision, and open and secret investigations are indispensable.
The City Guardian must account for 50% of the tax revenue. It was possible to apply for approval in the name of the City Guardian to apply for funds before, but it is not possible now.
Now all financial matters need to be reviewed through Youzhou Finance Department. If the Chengshoufu uses money, it needs to apply in advance.
"The City Shoufu needs to formulate a plan for the next year in advance for applying for 50% of the tax allocation, and there are many projects to apply for as much as possible, so it is necessary to provide a project book for the next year." Li De explained.
Li Shimin understood that finances were completely restricted, and everything became very rigorous, and he no longer said that he could use as much as he wanted.
"Yes, the operation budget of the City Shoufu will be submitted later." Li Shimin said.
Li De nodded and continued: "Application is based on actual conditions. Since the new government order has just been implemented, you all need to be familiar with the process. Next, the funds that each department needs to apply for are budgeted well, and every sum of money needs to be accounted for."
Then Princess Yu began to explain the situation of the vanguard army, the progress of industrial development, industrial investment demand, military strength and other demands, and then proposed to account for 60% of the tax revenue.
The idea is clear, and every project is very large and what the current pioneers need most. With this "model", everyone knows how to explain it.
After all, Li De is in charge of the Pioneer Army. The various project lists are all reasonable and well-founded, so everyone here feels that the money should be given to them.
The civil servants of the City Guardian did not give it for nothing. After understanding this, they did not provide the accounts after explaining that, but they did not provide the projects under construction and the planned projects for the next year. All the words were reasonable. As for the real accounts, they could be completed later.
Then the speeches from various departments were made, and many problems were exposed during the exchange, so they raised questions and solved them.
The financial meeting lasted for three consecutive days before we understood the affairs of each department clearly. We should not be in a hurry to really solve the problem.
The supervisors will verify the information, and Li De also needs time to discuss with everyone how to allocate it.
According to the time situation, the final allocation of funds to the Pioneer Army was 60% of the total tax, and the city guards accounted for 40% of the tax.
These are not something that can be used at will after you get the master. These funds are all funds for each project. How both parties should allocate the remaining funds is the following matter. The project income needs to be completed within the plan and is considered qualified.
If you can exceed the target, you can be considered a meritorious person. If you want to be promoted and make money, you need to rely on your ability.
After a period of financial integration, Li De was more relaxed. He just had some time to check the pressure gauge of Youzhou Workshop.
At present, the pressure gauge has been successfully used in steam engines. The machine tool driven by the flywheel has been put into use after the efforts of craftsmen, and the working efficiency has been increased several times.
Not only that, craftsmen found that using steam engines to drill wells is more efficient, and the R&D team has improved the drilling equipment.
Of course, with R&D projects, it is necessary to apply for scientific research funds from the finance department. The current appropriation system has just begun to be implemented, and everyone in various departments is busy making budgets.
Chapter completed!
