Ai Zhixin is a little excited when he thinks that he will be able to start tax practice work soon - he has been in Guangzhou for a few months and has some achievements in "cai". It can be said that he has no practical achievements in "tax".
Make plans. Firstly, the plague caused delays, and secondly, there was a real lack of suitable manpower.
Now the Wang couple have not only come, they have also brought with them a group of cadres from the short-term tax training class. They are much better than the group of tax cadres he currently has who don't know anything, are a mix of old and new, and are basically "self-taught".
There was a lot of work, and Ai Zhixin really didn't trust them to do it, so he kept putting it off.
After seeing the arrival date and the number of people traveling with him, he called Ai Yixin and asked her to arrange the corresponding offices and dormitories in the salt department Yamen, which is the Finance and Taxation Bureau compound, according to the number of people in the telegram.
Because there is not much practical work, Ai Yuanlao has spent more time on "capital construction" in the past few months. Not only has he repaired many dilapidated buildings in the original salt department office, he has also renovated a number of old houses, built septic tanks, and built
Public toilets, and by the way, he also installed a modern sewerage system in the small yard where his office and bedroom are. He had had enough of the toilet thing.
In the end, he demolished some dilapidated houses to create an open space and used it as a playground. He did exercises with the staff of the Finance and Taxation Bureau every day - leaving the remaining old officials miserable.
Although the Yan Kesi Yamen is large in area and has many houses, many of them are very old. Coupled with the hot and humid environment in Guangzhou, the internal sanitary environment is poor. Many of the old officials working there have various respiratory and joint diseases.
Disease, once the seasons change, a group of people will report illness. It has only been half a year since Ai Zhixin took office, and three of the remaining old officials reported "died of illness" or "retired from illness". Ai Yuanlao started to "exercise"
The idea was to start a "fitness movement" in the Finance and Taxation Bureau - this was not only to retain personnel but also to maintain the exercise habits developed by the naturalized staff who were transferred from Hainan.
Although the Tax Department Yamen is not "renewed" now, it is at least much better than when he first came here. Otherwise, the Wang family and his wife may not be willing to live in the Yamen.
On the day the Wang family arrived in Guangzhou, Ai Zhixin got up early again - not to greet them, but because today was another routine port inspection. As the director of the Finance and Taxation Bureau, he had to go to the big world to check the situation.
The national treasury of Australia and Song Dynasty, that is, the port treasury, conducts inventory inspections and signs and issues relevant transshipment goods. Relevant personnel from the Monopoly Bureau must also accompany them.
The so-called port treasury is actually the treasury of the Senate and the treasury of various Delong banks. Although the policy of using the Central Reserve Bank as the central bank of the Senate has been established, in fact the Central Reserve Bank has just opened and lacks branches. Currently, there are many
The work of the central bank is still handled by Delong's branches in various places.
The finances of the Senate first served the war, and the Ministry of Finance followed the army in setting up supply centers at important transportation areas (mainly ports) around the second or third lines. These supply centers later became the treasury of each place. Since Australia and Song Dynasty used the sea to control the land, they were not afraid
The treasury is basically located in the port and is called a port treasury. Of course, this is also due to the fact that it was inconvenient to call it a "country" in the early days when the flag of the country had not yet been announced.
The earliest origin of the port warehouse is the property robbed during the raid on Goujiazhuang. The precious metals and other valuables were transported back to Lingao and directly placed in the warehouse of the Fengcheng in Bobu Port. At that time, the Fengcheng was the safest
The port is also convenient for selling these properties to Guangzhou and other places in exchange for other materials urgently needed by the Senate. After the crisis-ridden infancy passed, a special warehouse was built at the port, and the materials in the Fengcheng's warehouse were slowly moved
to land.
After the Battle of Chengmai, although Qiongzhou City and Haikou City were not captured, the actual occupation of Qiongshan County was actually completed. Caijinkou set up the Qiongzhou City Supply Center there - specifically responsible for collecting and transshipping all parts of Hainan.
Supplies. The military rations collected through reasonable burdens around the city are directly handed over to the Qiongshan County Supply Center. They are directly counted and registered at the port and shipped to supply the expeditionary force in Guangzhou. This means that the local seizures can be put to immediate use and improve the
This ensured efficiency and ensured the utilization of resources. After the war, these supply centers were quickly transformed into port warehouses. With the expansion of the Senate's financial and commercial departments, various departments such as taxation, industry, commerce, monopoly, customs, agriculture, etc.
The warehousing must go through these port warehouses. Since Ai Zhixin was responsible for the operation of the port warehouse in Qiongzhou, he was also sent to other places to set up port warehouses. This also established the most basic treasury system of Australia and Song Dynasty. Each port warehouse is equipped with several
Naturalized citizens handle cashier business and have established a basic accounting system.
Although the Planning Institute is mainly responsible for allocating materials, the specific cashiering is still the responsibility of the Port Treasury of the Finance Department.
Guangzhou's port warehouse is located inside the big world. In the "inner world" near the dock, there are rows of warehouses. In the row of offices outside the warehouses, there are the offices of the port warehouse.
The work of the port warehouse is always busy. Correspondents from various local agencies carrying communication briefcases come in and out, bringing letters about the flow of materials from various places; every hour, the correspondents in the communication center will send the planning institute
The latest data changes from Delong's branches in various places are sent here.
On wooden counters one by one, cashiers collect material requisition orders or material storage orders from relevant departments, and instruct relevant warehouses or ships to leave the warehouse or pay related materials, and then register the relevant time, order number, and material name into the rolling
A blackboard announcement is made on the blackboard. The transcriber sees the announcement on the blackboard and writes the account books. The telegraph operator also reports the important parts of the relevant account books to the Ministry of Finance and Planning Institute in Lingao, who are responsible for the accounting. When part of the inventory
When the materials are close to the set red line, or a warehouse will be out of stock before the nearest Ministry of Transportation's regular transfer period, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Industry, or other nearby transfer warehouses will be notified to send ships to replenish the goods.
Ai Zhixin did not go directly to the office of the port warehouse, but went straight to the warehouse area next to the dock in the "Inside World".
Because today is inventory, there is no business in and out of the warehouse area at this moment. The usually bustling carriages, trolleys, porters... are all missing. The warehouse doors everywhere are closed tightly, and there is no one on the dock.
The footsteps of patrolling National Army soldiers occasionally break the silence here. In fact, there are dedicated people in each warehouse counting inventory.
Ai Zhixin looked at the watch on his wrist. It was still early before the end. Naturally, he would not go to the warehouse to take inventory in person, but he would be present every time the inventory was taken. Sometimes he would also make a surprise attack on someone in a certain warehouse.
The project will be inspected. There will be a "tired" day in any work. The symptoms of false stories and perfunctory work have actually been vague before the Guangdong and Guangxi strategy. Because of the problem of the ability and number of cadres, the administrative system of the Senate actually
It is very weak. If the elders themselves cannot be on the front line personally or at least pretend to be on the front line at any time, the execution of many things will go wrong.
"Old Liu!"
He called out, and Liu Gang, who had been following him, immediately took a few steps and came to his side.
"Chief..."
"You go to the salt warehouse first and see how the inventory is going in the salt warehouse." Ai Zhixin said, "A new batch of salt arrived yesterday. You go and take a look to see if the salt and the ticket number are correct."
With the Senate taking control of Hainan and Guangdong, the Ming Dynasty was in Guangdong, and all the salt fields in Hainan were already under the control of the Senate. However, for a while, they were not able to effectively control the production of the salt fields, nor were they able to equip enough qualified personnel.
Naturalized civilian cadres were required to manage the salt farms, so they could only strictly control the circulation area to ensure the implementation of the salt monopoly system.
There are many ways to engage in private fraud in salt affairs, and salt people are not kind little white rabbits. Private salt merchants will not give up their ready-made profits to others - whether it is the Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, no matter what
Or Australians, those who dare to sell private salt since ancient times are always ready to lick the blood with their knives.
Liu Gang was a private salt businessman and knew a lot about these tricks. Ai Zhixin was willing to recruit him to the Salt Service Company of the Monopoly Bureau precisely because of this.
"Yes, Chief!"
Liu Gang went there with his people. Because he wanted to support the issuance of new currency, he repeatedly mentioned at the economic work conference the need to stabilize prices and ensure the supply of important livelihood materials. Therefore, Ai Zhixin's salt monopoly policy is to stabilize market prices and use low prices.
To fully supply the market with salt, firstly, we must ensure the supply of salt in the market, and at the same time drive out illegal salt, stabilize the market, and then slowly raise prices.
However, this is easier said than done. Liu Gang's past partners were not honest. They took advantage of the Senate's low-priced salt and hoarded it in large quantities. Therefore, the commercial circulation field in the market other than the Senate can directly touch
In addition to the decline in salt prices in some areas, the price of salt in the vast rural areas is still relatively high.
Ai Zhixin lit a cigar - it seems that effective regulation cannot be achieved without a state-owned commercial network. All the materials being sold have been hoarded by profiteers.
Busy time always passes quickly. Throughout the morning, Ai Zhixin not only randomly inspected multiple warehouses on the spot, but also randomly checked several account books and original vouchers. He also signed a lot of documents and summoned several naturalization officials.
When Min. finally stopped to eat the lunch box sent by Ai Yixin, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. He was sitting and eating the lunch box when he suddenly saw the signal flag of "Ship Arrival" from the port's surveillance tower through the window.
rose up.
The arrival time of most of the Senate's steam-sail hybrid transport ships is not precise to what time. We can only roughly know whether they will arrive in the morning, afternoon or evening of a certain day.
