After leaving the hospital, Qi Yu went directly to the provincial government office.
But I saw that Yu Hai, Peng Wenchang, and Tan Junyan had been waiting there for a long time.
Since Duanzi is still on business in Sumatra, he could only regretfully miss this meeting of the four companies.
After exchanging a few words, the four of them came to the second hall of the Yamen and sat down for a discussion.
Long time no see, everyone has a lot of things on their mind that they want to talk about, but at the moment, business matters should come first, and personal matters can only come second.
This time was Qi Yu's first political discussion since he went north to Beijing, so the envoys paid great attention to it.
Without further ado, let’s get straight to the topic.
First, each department will make a work report.
According to past practice, Chief Envoy Yu Hai took the lead in speaking as the head of the various departments.
He said that the current development of Qiongzhou is stable, and government administration and administration are carried out step by step and promoted layer by layer. It is also orderly from top to bottom without any chaos.
The only thing that needs attention is that as the number of people migrating here gradually increases, commercial housing is already showing signs of shortage.
The solution is not difficult. As long as corresponding investment in manpower and material resources is increased, this urgent problem can be alleviated.
Regarding the judiciary, Peng Wenchang said that the jurisdiction is rock solid and basically no one dares to openly commit crimes.
However, we need to be particularly vigilant. With the current prosperity of Qiongzhou, it is very easy to give birth to some invisible moths. For these individuals, there is currently no effective way to eliminate them. We can only find and deal with them one by one.
, to set an example by clarifying the canonical punishment.
Finally, Tan Junyan made a work report.
He said that the current people in Qiongzhou have developed good savings habits. In addition to daily expenses, most of their wealth will be placed in the bank to earn interest.
In particular, after the implementation of the passbook business based on the real-name system, people's enthusiasm for saving money has become increasingly high. In their own words, they no longer have to worry about theoretical worries and concerns such as theft or loss of deposit slips.
Sorry. As long as you can provide your real name, you can start the corresponding access processing.
That is to say, recognize the person but not the money.
The above are the performance lists submitted by various departments.
Generally speaking, there is basically nothing to worry about. The only thing that is slightly out of the ordinary is the punishment of corruption mentioned by Peng Wenchang.
In other words, eradicating corruption and evil can be listed as the focus of the next work.
A thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by an ant nest!
If the shortcomings of official governance are not completely resolved, all the construction achievements made so far will fall apart and eventually turn into ashes.
So, is this a super problem that is extremely difficult to solve?
yes!
But no!
Qi Yu feels that once he gets serious, this kind of person will definitely not be able to hide. It depends on you whether you are willing to do this cruel thing.
It is easy to say that it is difficult to eliminate corruption, and it is not difficult to say that it is not difficult.
"Oh? Master Qi, do you have any good ideas?"
"Yes, Mr. Qi, just say it quickly!"
In response to their inquiries, Qi Yu did not answer directly, but instead started from the current reality and phenomena.
Only by speaking with facts can you be persuasive.
"Everyone, in your opinion, what are the things that corrupt officials are greedy for?"
"What else is there, it's just money!"
"Then, where is the money in their hands hidden?"
"Well……"
Qi Yu's question may seem like a joke, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that there is another mystery behind it.
Let's put it this way.
At present, Qiongzhou Province has already achieved financial innovation by replacing traditional metal coins with Asian dollar banknotes. Whether it is bank storage or market circulation, the Asian dollar is used as the unit of measurement.
However, the storage business requires real-name filing, otherwise it cannot be handled. Corrupt officials are cautious and never dare to openly expose their family background.
Therefore, there is a high probability that they will secretly build a small vault to store stolen cash, and this phenomenon is the legendary hiding under the bed.
In other words, the bank's storage business is not comparable to theirs.
Then, can they make savings in the names of their relatives?
Don’t even think about it!
How could such a low-level operation that even a fool could figure out fool the experienced Peng Wenchang? To put it bluntly, he only needed to take a look at the house to understand everything.
Therefore, for those who are greedy for ink, putting it under the bed is the safest way. Although it is a bit primitive, it is more expensive and safer.
Seeing that all three of them had stunned expressions, Qi Yu said openly: "Since they are so keen on holding cash, I will use a currency upgrade to reduce the wealth in their hands to waste paper in one fell swoop!"
The so-called currency upgrade refers to the upgrading of paper currency versions.
Qi Yu had clearly proposed this concept a long time ago, but at that time, banknotes had just been implemented, so it was not appropriate to make drastic changes, otherwise it would cause unreasonable panic among people.
But now, it is different.
With a prosperous economy and stable people's livelihood, the conditions for implementation are fully met.
The revision of banknotes will basically not have any impact on ordinary people, and the impact will only be some temporary difficulty in circulation. As long as they cooperate with the replacement, they can go through this period smoothly.
However, corrupt officials are different. How dare they openly come out and carry out exchanges?
If that's the case, it's equivalent to not having three hundred taels of silver here!
Therefore, they can only watch the money under the bed moldy and rot, and finally become a pile of waste paper.
In this way, the results of his hard work for many years will be wiped out and turned into nothing.
It can also be seen that timely introduction of banknote reform policies is an effective way to punish corrupt officials.
Of course, if you don't want to do this, that's a different matter.
"Master Qi's move is extraordinary!" Yu Hai immediately praised him after coming back to his senses, almost falling to the ground in admiration.
Tan Junyan also suddenly realized: "I really didn't expect that the replacement of banknotes would have such benefits!"
Peng Wenchang also stroked his beard and praised highly: "If our banknotes can be exchanged every five years, the trend of corruption will be curbed. Even if it cannot be completely eradicated, it can still rectify the evil trend."
Qi Yu laughed and continued: "Don't get too happy too early, please listen to what I have to say."
After a pause, he first said to Yu Hai: "The innovation of banknotes will definitely arouse the anxiety of those who are greedy for ink, and they will also be eager to find a feasible way to exchange. At this time, you must pay close attention to the Chamber of Commerce
The flow of funds at all levels to prevent them from going to sea to launder money.”
"Don't worry, sir. Yu will definitely keep his eyes open and supervise the movement of every large amount of money in and out to ensure that there are no omissions." Yu Hai cupped his hand and expressed his stance.
Qi Yu nodded and smiled, and then said to Peng Wenchang: "Master, we must also increase supervision. Any officials who have any tendency to detect abnormal behavior will immediately launch a thorough investigation, and we will never give them a chance to get away with it."
The old master also quickly handed over his hand and replied: "Don't worry, Mr. Qi, I will also keep my eyes wide open like Mr. Yu, observing all the movements of the officials in office, and ensuring that no blind spots are left."
Finally, Qi Yu told Tan Junyan: "In terms of banks, you must also step up audits to prevent dirty money from flowing into savings."
Hearing this, the latter quickly raised his hands and said, "Yan, I will guard you to the death and never relax!"
After explaining everything, Qi Yu calmly stated his ultimate goal.
"Next, our Qiongzhou will launch a new administrative division. By then, there will definitely be a lot of vacancies. I will take this opportunity to take a large-scale civil service examination and then select the best for promotion.
Reuse. As for those who are greedy for money and self-interest, let them go to the place where they should go to work and retire!"
New administrative divisions?
Upon hearing this, all the officials' eyes widened.
Before this, Mr. Qi had always avoided discussing this matter and was almost silent. But now, he has taken the initiative to reveal his motives, which is really surprising.
What he never expected was that he would select officials by revamping banknotes.
Among the three envoys, only Yu Hai's eyes shone brightly, and his little desire to be promoted was barely concealed.
