I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 920: Donation chaos

Changzhou has raised 500,000 donations, which is not easy.

After all, Changzhou is not a big city, and there is no heavy industry.

The only thing that can be said is that there is a railway passing through here, and the traffic is reasonable. As well as being relatively close to Nanjing and Shanghai, it is the source of vegetable and livestock supply for the two places.

Such a place is richer than most cities in Dahua, but it is certainly not much richer.

A small Changzhou donated 500,000 yuan, which is very abnormal. Even in Beijing, the donation was only 100,000, and the donation in Wuhu, a place with a large number of industries, was only 300,000.

Changzhou donated 500,000 yuan, which is a bit weird in the eyes of people in other places.

Changzhou also appeared in the newspapers and became a hit.

People in other places in Dahua also learned that there is a place in Dahua called Changzhou, which is very wealthy.

Outsiders feel curious, but in Changzhou, this is not a secret at all. Even children know what this is all about.

It was nothing more than that Shi Jianxun, the mayor of Changzhou City, wanted to take the opportunity to show his face and make some political achievements, so he started a showdown overtly and secretly.

Although Shi Jianxun did not explicitly stipulate that everyone should donate and the amount.

However, those businesses that did not donate will receive some special entertainment.

There are really too many reasons for the government to clean up those businesses.

Of course, many of these merchants also have back offices. If you really stabbed things up, Shi Jian would be unable to eat.

But Shi Jianxun is not stupid, he has a good grasp of this degree.

The amount of the showdown is neither too much nor too much, which can make those businesses feel painful, but it will not turn their faces for the money and then use their personal connections.

The personal connection is not eternal. It is a consumable item. If you use it too many times, it will become invalid. Generally, you have to stay at the critical moment.

If you trouble even a little thing, the big man behind it shouldn't be annoying.

Small things go to trouble the big people, and they can only leave the impression that they are not sensible.

Therefore, those merchants usually gritted their teeth, cursed a few words behind their backs, and then handed in the money.

Even if there are a few popular ones, it is often fruitless if they want to report.

Nowadays, court officials are focused on disaster relief, so how can they have time to take care of such trivial matters.

If an investigation is really conducted and Shi Jianxun is arrested, no serious crime can be convicted. At most, it will be criticized and fined.

After all, Shi Jianxun didn't greedy the money into his own pockets, but sent the money to the disaster area.

Although the process is not very glorious, the result still has a certain positive meaning.

Moreover, all he extorted were merchants.

Wu Changqing had done this kind of thing before.

In the past, the Hua Army was short of military spending. Didn't it also use this method to blackmail those merchants and pool money to raise the army?

If the emperor is capable, he can't do it if he is an official?

This has been done in more than one place in Changzhou, and some other places have similar situations, but to a different degree.

There is too much, let alone the merchants, even the common people have been apportioned.

Fortunately, the amount of apportionment is not large, and they dare not do too much.

Officials everywhere are under pressure on their political performance. Looking at other places, there are tens of thousands of donations. The economy of their jurisdiction is not worse than that of each other. Only a few thousand dollars are collected. The big brothers in the court must doubt their governance. Ability, even suspected that they were corrupt.

Moreover, most of these officials do not think such an apportionment is excessive.

After all, the imperial court is usually so good to the people, it cuts taxes and supports it at every turn, what's wrong with apportioning some loving donations?

If this is changed to the Ming Dynasty, it will be a direct tax increase and a direct grab. After the flood, this special tax will not be abolished, and then it will continue.

In the end, the taxes paid came into their pockets.

Those officials who came from the Ming Dynasty felt that just apportioning donations was too gentle.

Don't blame them for thinking this way. In fact, many people also think this way.

They all felt that the court was really better than before.

Just a temporary apportionment, not a tax increase, is simply a happy event.

Therefore, the process in those places that engage in apportionment is actually very smooth, and the people are very cooperative.

Corruption also occurs in Dahua, but it is relatively rare.

Dahua's Statistics Bureau is too powerful and knows almost all the economic conditions in various places.

Approximately the donation capacity of a place is counted by the statistics bureau.

If a huge Shanghai donated only one million, there would be no need for evidence collection and investigation, and it would be straightforward to determine that the mayor of Shanghai was embezzled and could not escape.

Therefore, out of fear of the Bureau of Statistics, most officials are relatively honest.

Also the county magistrate of Pingxiang, Zeng Yihui, became greedy.

Zeng Yihui never expected that his unremarkable Pingxiang County could make up a donation of 50,000 yuan, which was obviously exceeding the standard.

This is mainly because the mineral resources of Pingxiang have been vigorously developed in recent years. There have been several coal mines and tungsten mines in the territory, and a steel plant and other factories have even been built nearby.

This caused Pingxiang to turn over immediately, and the people around him increased their income from mining.

With money, the people here have become very satisfied and loyal to the current court.

Hearing that other places in Dahua have been hit by floods, the people here are very active in donating money and abruptly collected 50,000 yuan.

Ever since, Zeng Yihui had a different mind.

Handing in the 50,000 yuan, of course, you can get a good evaluation, and even have a chance to get a promotion.

However, the actual benefits are not great.

Transferred to other places to be promoted to one and a half levels, it is better to stay in Pingxiang to be the county magistrate.

Since there is no need for political achievements, then naturally there is no need to hand in all the money.

Moreover, because Pingxiang is a poor place in the impression of others, and only pay 10,000 yuan, no one will doubt it at all, and they will only think that this is the normal level of Pingxiang.

Wu Changqing asked the people below to organize donations in order to arouse domestic love and cultivate national cohesion.

As a result, some results have naturally been achieved.

Coupled with follow-up propaganda, people in most areas can have a sense of identity.

However, in those places where it is apportioned, the effect is very mediocre, and some people even feel resentment.

Not to mention, there are places where corruption is taking advantage of this.

This donation action is more or less imperfect.

Of course, this is also the normal state of Dahua.

The policies of the imperial court often changed their tastes in the localities.

Dahua's situation is relatively good, at least much better than the previous Ming Dynasty, and much better than those of foreign countries.
