After the dinner was over, Li Xiuyuan and Lei Yi saw Shao Zhiyu off at the hotel entrance. Li Xiuyuan then prepared to get in the car and go, not home, but to the central town.
Tomorrow is Monday, and the Meilin Village project will be officially launched.
"Mayor Li, there is a situation I want to report to you." Lei Yi looked at Li Xiuyuan and said.
Li Xiuyuan took out a cigarette and handed one to Lei Yi, then smiled and said, "What's the matter? Tell me."
"It's like this, Mayor Li. Hou Peng wants to take some money from our Xinnong Demonstration Village construction project." Lei Yi said. He originally wanted to drag this matter out, but after what happened tonight, he was even more determined not to say anything.
In the future, the central town will be closer to Li Xiuyuan. This situation must be reported to Li Xiuyuan to see his opinion.
Li Xiuyuan listened and his face suddenly darkened. Hou Peng was really bold. He embezzled the special funds for the construction of the new demonstration village. Now the early dredging project has been messed up and there is not enough money.
Of the two million in capital, only 850,000 is left now. After pawning it, there is still a Prado. The key is that this Prado is not worth much and has not been auctioned yet. Even after the auction, it is still not enough to cover the original two million in project funds.
Moreover, the workload has increased due to the efforts of the Tian Zhijun brothers.
What used to be possible with two million dollars might now require two million, three hundred thousand, or two million, five hundred thousand.
Funding itself was a big problem, yet Hou Peng dared to divert this money.
This is too bold.
Li Xiuyuan took a deep breath and calmed down. This is how it is at the grassroots level. They don't dare to touch any money without them. Some places even dare not touch any money for poverty alleviation. The construction funds for this project don't seem to be a big deal.
"What does he want to do with this money?" Li Xiuyuan asked with a gloomy face.
Lei Yi quickly said, "We need to pay the teachers. Last year, the town delayed a sum of teachers' salaries, as well as some other educational funding, which was about 200,000 yuan."
After Lei Yi finished speaking, he saw that Li Xiuyuan looked unhappy, and quickly said, "Don't worry, Mayor Li, I will definitely not let you touch this money..."
"Move." Li Xiuyuan interrupted Lei Yi before he could finish. "Pay it when it's due. Why not? You can't delay anyone's salary, not even the teachers' salaries and education funding. Pay it."
"Ah?" Lei Yi was a little confused.
Li Xiuyuan then sneered and said, "But they're not using the special funds from the New Rural Demonstration Village to pay salaries. They're using funds from the town. The town has money in its account, right?"
"This... yes." Lei Yi nodded. The financial situation of the central town in the past two years must have been tight, but it did not mean that there was no money. After all, it was the largest town in the county, and its economy was still okay.
"Okay, just use the fiscal funds and distribute them. Since Hou Peng doesn't want to touch this special fund, he must have written a note. You just follow the note and distribute the overdue teachers' salaries. He wants to touch my project funds, and I want to touch his money too."
Li Xiuyuan's voice was cold. Giving money to teachers is a given, but who gets the money is a different matter. Spending your money to do my work is a familiar trick for Li Xiuyuan.
You are the mayor, but the current director of the Finance Office is my relative.
"This..." Lei Yi was a little embarrassed. He didn't dare to touch Li Xiuyuan's special funds, but it was not appropriate to directly touch the township finances without Hou Peng's permission.
