Chapter 95 The problem, the county government is in short supply!
After coming out of Shen's Mansion, Su Cheng went straight to the county government office.
As for what Shen Zhennan said about having children...
Of course, this kind of thing is something that comes naturally, and it cannot be achieved through his own efforts.
However, there should be nothing much to do during this period. During the day, I deal with the county government's land reclamation and village building matters, so I can really work harder when I go back at night.
While thinking, Su Cheng had arrived at the county government office.
"See Mr. Su!"
"No need to be polite, everyone is here, right?"
"Sir, everyone is here and waiting for you inside." The yamen servant at the door followed Su Cheng.
While talking, the two entered the lobby.
The left and right sides were already filled with government officials. Under the leadership of He Baotou, they bowed their hands and saluted Su Cheng: "I've met Mr. Su!"
"Okay, this county has summoned you for a big event!"
Su Cheng sat in the seat that belonged to his county magistrate and said with a serious face: "At present, the victims of the disaster in our county have been settled, and the autumn plowing has almost been completed."
"However, these victims have no place to live. If they are allowed to live in the wild for a long time, accidents will inevitably happen."
"In order to keep these people in Liuhe County, the county decided to build houses for them."
"During this period, I have asked He Captou to observe some suitable locations for establishing villages. He Captou, please tell me."
Su Cheng is not particularly familiar with the geographical location yet, but He Captou is a local and knows it very well.
He Baotou, who was named, stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Su, after my investigation, I found that most of the villages in our county were built on the Liuhe River."
"Now that the Liuhe River has restored its flow, perhaps we can rely on the Liuhe River to build villages for the victims this time!"
"In addition, because we rented fields in ten other counties, these fields must be watched by someone. I suggested that a village be established around the fields in these ten counties to be responsible for contacting us."
To be able to catch a head, you must have some wisdom. This kind of building a village is naturally not difficult for He to catch a head.
Even Su Cheng nodded slightly after hearing this: "Well, when building a village, water sources are the most important thing. This is a good suggestion!"
“As for building villages next to fields rented by several other counties, this is inappropriate!”
"After all, that area is under the jurisdiction of other counties. We are only renting land and cannot build villages."
Originally, the other ten counties were unhappy with Liuhe County for renting land to him, so it would be a bit excessive to build a village on their land.
"This... is just a small lack of consideration."
He Captou smiled bitterly: "But if this happens, those fields will need to be guarded by Mr. Liu Qian's men."
"Don't worry, Mr. Liu Qian has already agreed to this. He will rotate the soldiers regularly. We don't need to worry about this!"
Su Cheng smiled slightly: "Even if people in other counties are jealous, they don't dare to confront the soldiers."
"Okay, next, I will assign your tasks to you."
"Building a village this time will not happen overnight. First of all, you have to count the number of disaster victims and divide them into areas where you are going to build a village."
"Furthermore, you need to mobilize the people of Liuhe County to help build the village. As for money, the county government will subsidize some, and let those big households donate some."
To build a village, money is naturally indispensable.
A common method is for the county government to allocate some funds to large households to donate some.
After all, there are many people left behind and there are many people who can work. Those big households will not refuse such a thing.
What's more, now that so much land has been opened up, even those big households are short of tenant farmers.
Su Cheng was still somewhat sure about this matter.
The big investors are all out for their own interests, and this matter is related to their interests, so they will definitely donate money.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, He Captou smiled bitterly: "Sir, the big families will donate money, but our county government can no longer provide any money."
"Huh? What do you mean if you can't get the money?"
Su Cheng raised his eyebrows, showing a look of surprise.
When he took over the county government before, he saw some money on the books.
It's just that during this period of time, he has been dealing with autumn plowing, land reclamation, and also went to Jiangzhou and Xincheng County, so he didn't have time to see how much money he really had.
But even so, it doesn’t mean that you can’t get money, right?
A county government can't have no money at all, right?
"Mr. Su, you don't know that Mr. Wang actually took all the money away before leaving office."
He Captou sighed: "There is indeed money on the books, but that's just on the books. There is not much money in the actual warehouse."
"Not to mention using it to build villages, we can't even afford the salary next month."
As soon as these words came out, Su Cheng's expression changed drastically.
Although he was mentally prepared, when he heard that the money was so low that he couldn't even afford a salary, his heart still skipped a beat.
I still underestimated Wang Defa's character.
They all got promoted and made a fortune, but before leaving, they didn't forget to trick themselves and leave themselves such a big hole.
Originally, he was very proud today and felt that he had to work hard to build a super county!
But now it's better, the county government has no money!
A penny can stump a heroic man!
Being poor means being unable to do anything.
Let alone building a super large county, if the government officials cannot even pay their salaries, they will not work.
During this period, if it weren't for the fact that he was doing things for the common people, the government officials would have rested at home long ago.
Su Cheng frowned.
The problem is bigger than I thought.
Without money, the super-large county plan will be shelved.
If this problem is not solved, the government officials in front of us will become emotional and even disobey orders.
This incident has a great impact, affecting the whole body!
Thinking of this, Su Changcheng took a breath: "It turns out that during this period, everyone worked hard for the sake of the county!"
"This county is here, thank you all!"
Su Cheng stood up and saluted everyone.
He Captou and others hurriedly returned the courtesy: "Adults are joking, this is what young people should do!"
"Besides, we are all willing to follow you, sir, and we believe that you will definitely lead us Liuhe County out of the current predicament!"
Other government officials also agreed: "Yes, we believe that adults can solve this matter!"
"My lord, you are a marquis, and you worry so much about the people. How can we hold you back?"
"Your Excellency is so considerate of the people, we will definitely support you to the end!"
Su Cheng looked at the group of government officials in front of him and felt a little moved in his heart.
After all, they can still support themselves like this even though they know they have no salary!
If he doesn't want to find a way to resolve this matter, then he will be sorry for the trust of these people.
"Please rest assured that this county will resolve this matter in the short term!"
