Chapter 277 Deficit
Siming looked at her strangely: "Explanation? What explanation? The fireworks they stored for the New Year exploded, and I didn't ask them for an explanation, but they came to me to ask for an explanation."
"Do you know how big a firework explosion is, especially in a densely populated city? If the fire department hadn't arrived quickly, the surrounding residents would have been affected."
"I didn't bother with them because they were all dead, but now you're asking me for an explanation?"
Jing Xiuxiu choked up at what she said: "No matter what, they are foreign chambers of commerce. If something happens in your place, you have to take responsibility."
"If you want me to be responsible, don't even mention doors, there are no windows." Siming said as he threw a piece of paper on the table.
"What is that?" Jing Xiuxiu had a bad feeling when she looked at the paper on the table.
"Since we have to take responsibility, then I'll ask the Northern government to take responsibility together." Si Ming said casually.
Jing Xiuxiu stretched out her uninjured hand, took the paper and took a look: the wall repair cost was five hundred silver dollars, and the fire department fee was one hundred silver dollars.
Thirty thousand silver dollars for house repairs, one hundred silver dollars for burying the body...
The total amount is as high as 50,000 silver dollars, why don’t you go and rob it.
"General Si, it doesn't cost so much money to renovate a building." The paper in her hand wrinkled as she spoke.
"If you think it's too much, you can find someone to repair it yourself. Anyway, I'm short of money recently, and this building is still abandoned."
"As for their bodies, I will consider it a good deed." Siming said indifferently.
Chen Yongnian watched from the side without interrupting a word, and from time to time he lowered his head and glanced at the two little guys.
The two little guys noticed his gaze, but turned their heads away proudly and didn't look at him.
This made Chen Yongnian even more unhappy with Jing Xiuxiu: If it weren't for this dead woman, how could these two children treat him like this.
Jing Xiuxiu gritted her teeth and could only bring up the Northern Government: "General Si, I'm here to inform you, not to discuss with you."
"Okay! Then I'll also inform you that we in Beiyang City have no money. If you want to wait, then wait." After Si Ming finished speaking, he looked at Chen Yongnian.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask Director General Chen whether Beiyang City's fiscal revenue is in deficit."
Jing Xiuxiu looked at him expectantly: "Director Chen."
Chen Yongnian didn't waste any words and turned to look at the secretary beside him: "Go and bring Beiyang City's financial account books to Miss Jing for review."
Jing Xiuxiu was delighted. How could there be no money in Beiyang City? She had been very busy in Beiyang City these days.
Now the best shops in Beiyang City are all in the hands of the Si family. Who would trust them without money?
The secretary left for an hour and came back with a ledger in her hand.
"Miss Jing, this is Beiyang City's account book."
Jing Xiuxiu took it with excitement. It turned out that General Chen was still on the side of their northern government.
She excitedly opened the account book, and the more she looked, the more shocked she became. All the pages were red.
Unclogging the sewers in Beiyang City cost 10,000 yuan, repairing the roads cost 100,000 yuan, and repairing the streetlights cost 50,000 yuan...
The fiscal revenue was far from enough to cover the expenditure, and the family even owed the Si family millions of dollars.
"How is this possible? All the fertile fields and shops outside your Si family city are profitable. How could there be a deficit?"
"Ms. Jing also said that it is our Si family, not Beiyang City." Si Ming glanced at her with a sneer.
"Beiyang City belongs to your Si family, how can it be calculated separately?" Jing Xiuxiu was almost going crazy looking at the deficit behind her.
"What? The Northern Government is planning to give Beiyang City to me?"
"If that's the case, it's not impossible for me to make up for this deficit." Si Ming raised the corners of his lips slightly.
"You..." Jing Xiuxiu's face turned even paler with anger. How could she possibly give Beiyang City to him?
She turned to look at Chen Yongnian: "Director Chen, your General Administration of Customs must have money!"
"Miss Jing, you're joking. We only have the right to pay others. Isn't it written in the account book?"
Chen Yongnian pointed to several items on the account book and said, "These are all paid by the buyers. We only received a few items."
"So your entire Beiyang City is in deficit?" Jing Xiuxiu's eyes turned red.
"Yes! Isn't it still relying on General Si to maintain this?" Chen Yongnian expressed helplessness.
"If Miss Jing has any questions, you can change someone else to be the commander-in-chief, but remember to pay back all the money you owe me." Si Ming dared to guarantee that no one would dare to accept it.
With millions of dollars, he had nothing to fear even if the Northern government replaced him as military governor.
The entire Beiyang City is still under the control of Siming, and he can also get millions of dollars for free. He is so happy that he can't contain his excitement.
Jing Xiuxiu only felt a pain in her chest and a fishy-sweet taste in her mouth.
She swallowed the sweet taste in her mouth forcefully: "Okay, okay, Commander Si is really good at this."
"What are you talking about, Miss Jing? I didn't use any tricks, and the Ministry of Finance is not under my jurisdiction." Siming was telling the truth.
It’s just that the people who manage the Ministry of Finance are now in the same boat with me.
Jing Xiuxiu didn't know how she left the General Administration of Customs. She just found a telephone booth and made a phone call after she got out.
She had to get the money no matter what method she used, otherwise she would die if she went back.
She first thought of the two little guys next to Siming just now. Since you have been unkind to me, don't blame me for being unfair to you.
"What do you want to do now?" The man on the other end of the phone was obviously impatient.
"Help me kidnap Siming's two children." Jing Xiuxiu's hands turned pale as she held the microphone.
"Are you sick? Siming treats these two children like the apples of his eye. If we tie them up, how are we going to move around in Beiyang City?"
The man refused outright. He had already lost five brothers who had listened to him before, and he absolutely could not do such a dangerous thing again this time.
Besides, even though Madam Si and her two children didn't bring many people with them when they traveled, there were quite a few people lurking in the dark. He must be sick to touch other people's treasures.
"People from the Si family, you have to kidnap one for me, otherwise I will go back and say that you didn't help me and that's why I didn't get the money." Jing Xiuxiu threatened the man.
"You..." The man kicked the chair next to him.
He calmed down and said, "The easiest person to catch in the Si family is the second master. He is still disabled and rarely brings people with him when he goes out."
"It's easier to catch him than others. Plus, Sima Ming feels guilty about him, so the ransom will be easier to come by."
"Then catch him." Jing Xiuxiu said without thinking.
After hanging up the phone, she looked at the busy traffic outside and said, "Si Tian, if you want to blame someone, you can only blame your eldest brother for being so heartless. He wants me dead, so don't blame me for being ruthless."
After she said that, she stopped a rickshaw and asked him to take her to the hospital. She felt that her wound had opened again, and if she didn't treat it, she might not be able to wait for seven days.
A little bird flapped its wings and disappeared into the sky.
