Chapter four hundred and eighty seventh invisible hand
It is still a dilapidated street, with untreated buildings full of moss and stains, and the entire street is like ruins that have not been cleaned for years.
The ground is full of mud and dirty water. You have to be careful when walking on the road. Trash cans and wild dogs are mixed together. Pedestrians on the road come and go in a hurry. When they meet by chance, they stare at each other with alert eyes.
This is a ghost place, you can take it out to shoot doomsday movies, and there is no need to build a studio for zombie dramas.
"How is it? It's a good place. Although it's not as clean as it is, it's very free and no one cares about it."
Yu Junxiang, who was walking in front of Zheng Li, looked relaxed and comfortable. From the beginning of entering this area, her steps became much lighter.
"......This is the seventh district, controlled by the Snake Powder Gang and the Pink Gang. You can tell from the name that they can do business, but the Pink Gang is quite good to us children. Their main backbone is women, and after all, they are also a group of miserable people..."
With this local snake leading the way, the introduction along the way is simple and straightforward, and it also reduces a lot of trouble for Zheng Li.
But the more he listened, the more his eyebrows frowned, and he was even a little irritated.
"How come there are gangs, just gangs with medicine in old gardens."
"Actually, it's not a gang anymore. It's just a group of people who organized it and controlled that area. This is actually a good thing. The most dangerous thing is that there is no control over the gang area. No one cares about anything. Children like us dare not get close to..."
Now, Zheng Li understood more and more.
"...When the social order officially established by a region collapses, there will naturally be other forces to make up for it and re-establish new order rules. And if there is no order in a place, the weak will not be able to survive."
When he heard the gang, he subconsciously connected it with the gray and underworld elements he had been in contact with before, which meant the more troublesome middle-tone criminals. Now it seems that most of the so-called gangs here are a group of "street offices" and "resident mutual aid associations".
However, there is no factory or farmland here, and it is not enough to operate and live. These things are all involved in local illegal business, and members are more or less illegal.
Now, after just a few blocks, Zheng Li saw two black armbands in uniforms, and at least three plainclothes... I have to admit that it is a bit difficult to disguise the local residents. Their expressions and dressings are too "clean", and Zheng Li saw through them at a glance.
But they came and went more quickly than residents, obviously they didn't care about other people's opinions.
They looked at each passerby vigilantly, and after they found Zheng Li, they hurried to the next target.
The two black armbands in uniforms were pressing against a group of locals and heading to temporary checkpoints and stations... Judging from the fierce tattoos and bald heads, they didn't look like good people.
Along the way, Zheng Li passed three checkpoints. Even if he didn't ask Xiaojunxiang, Zheng Li knew that this was definitely not a local resident product.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs has fully entered this area and has begun a large-scale "sweep".
No matter how arrogant and domineering the local gangs were, they were actually a gathering of losers. They were really not worth mentioning in front of the "sweepers" of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who were truly proficient in killing.
"...The problem is not that simple."
Zheng Li has found that something is wrong.
The task received by the Ministry of Internal Affairs cannot be to maintain local public security and order. It should be the responsibility of the previous Iron Man Autonomous Region Government, or the work of the upcoming autonomous region management team.
The tasks they received could only be "clearing away the remaining forces of the Atels", "finding possible whale treasures", and "finding special items smuggled in by the Atels", which are in line with the positioning of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
If we aim to sweep away local gangs, arrest criminals, and deter local gang members, it is just a means rather than an end, just a side effect of "useful clues".
It seems that there is no difference? In fact, the difference is huge. They are constantly declaring their existence with practical actions, which will naturally make these locals afraid or even dare not move. The gangs that are subsequently swept will make local public security relatively better for a period of time.
And when everything comes to an end, whether they complete their work in this area or not, they will leave...that means that the terrifying order they have established will collapse instantly.
The cleaned order vacuum will be quickly remnants and new gangs will compete for. Locals know that the more territory the better they live, the better. Then there will be a series of mutual killings and finally reach a new balance.
And in this process of preying on the weak, the person who is injured is obviously the local weak.
"......... it is necessary to give priority to establishing a public security force, directly taking over the work of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and avoiding the vacuum of order."
Zheng Li wrote down the first item in his work notes and proposed it when he was about to meet with other managers later to avoid the worst situation.
From the perspective of local managers, since the Ministry of Internal Affairs swept away the fallen leaves in the autumn wind, then don’t waste their ability to clear the goods. It’s really time for the local gangs to complete the reorganization and entrench together, forming an opposition between local managers and local gangs, which is another round of new trouble.
"...... Let's talk to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The leaders of the big gang will be held first and left for later use."
Zheng Li was having an even more headache. He had already found that the job he was about to take office was indeed quite difficult to deal with.
"This normal company and company cannot be found. How can these people live on..."
"No, many of them are organized outside, but there is no need to pay taxes here. Therefore, we also give priority to living here. Even if we have to eliminate the need to maintain the spirit blade, selling spirit crystals is still the main source of our living expenses..."
With the guidance of locals, Zheng Li saved a lot of effort.
Even if it is the Fourth Ring Road, the basic cap fee must be paid. If you run a company normally, the taxes of the enterprise are naturally indispensable. But here... even if there are countless gray business, small workshops, and flesh and blood factories, they will not report to collect taxes.
"Well, add one work note, please ask the tax bureau to come here to build a branch... This is a hard bone, a bit difficult to chew."
Zheng Li thought with his knees and knew that it was impossible for people here to pay taxes obediently, but since he wanted to form a stable management team here, he could only ask his superiors for money without taxes... It doesn't matter in the early stage, but in the later stage it became a bottomless pit with only investment. Any superior will consider the necessity of the incompetent management organization to survive.
The rules of Shiqiancheng are also after paying part of the finance and taxation, and the remaining districts will use them for their own use. If you don’t want to break the unspoken rules of the “local sect” in the outer area, you must build the local finance.
"I'm getting more and more headaches. I don't have a legal enterprise. I can't collect gang transaction tax later..."
Thinking about it, Zheng Li felt more and more that this damn autonomous region had no solution at all, or that it would rot naturally, was the best solution.
Establishing a new order for a place that has never had official order and establishing a healthy government management system? Zheng Li suddenly felt that the messes that the female orangutan had thrown to her back then had become less stressed.
Zheng Li shook his head and closed the notebook. At this stage, just record the problem.
Let’s leave the work to the new team members with a headache. Maybe they have more complete plans and experience in handling them.
He became interested in another thing Yujun Kam mentioned.
"Tax? Lingjing Population Tax is the root cause of you children choosing this area?"
"It's not just this, but there are many reasons. But a black market for spiritual crystals can be sold for 150 yuan (it has increased recently). Even if we deduct the transaction fees and local gang protection fees, we can get 90 yuan. If we calculate this, even if we can't find a job here, we can barely survive. But if we are in other areas, we have to pay taxes..."
Zheng Li was speechless. He really didn't expect that this spiritual crystal tax payment system, which seemed to be beneficial but harmless in other areas, became an invisible hand that forced these children to flow into the no-man's land.
This also shows why many losers eventually fell into this area... Saving a spiritual crystal in a month is nearly 100 yuan in additional income, which is a lot for these people.
Generally speaking, adults have an average 4.5 psychic index, which means that about 4 to 5 spiritual crystals are produced in a month, but here is an additional problem.
".........We children are not very strong in spiritual energy. It would be great to produce three spiritual crystals a month. But you have to feed your own spiritual blades one or two. If you don't feed them, the spiritual blade will soon die completely, and even one spiritual crystal will not be produced in the future."
The average adult is 4.5 pieces per month, but the lowest for adults is 2 blades. These children with one blade or even zero blades, and the output of these children with one blade or even zero blades will never exceed 3 pieces per month.
Even for local adults, there are quite a few who produce one or two pieces per month.
Then, it is very difficult to be able to maintain your spiritual blade without deteriorating, and it is very difficult to take out one and sell it. Being able to save a spiritual crystal every month is already a huge income.
Since there are black markets everywhere in the area, spiritual crystals can be sold at higher prices, and maybe they can live easier than working in certain areas.
Zheng Li was speechless. The exquisite design of "protecting the weak" and exerting collective power" formulated by the sages has become one of the roots of those who are in the down and out here.
Spirit blades are "living". They or them all need to eat spiritual materials regularly and devour soul fragments. Otherwise, they will be like creatures that do not eat for a long time. Even if they do not enter into death, they will become quasi-vegetative people who will sleep forever.
Spirit crystals are the cheapest and cheapest spiritual material. If you only feed this, although the spiritual blade will not die, don’t think of going further. It’s good not to degenerate.
If that person exchanged most of his spiritual crystals for living expenses and gave the spiritual blade the minimum spiritual crystal nutritional supplement, then he, who was both spiritual energy and physical nutrition, would probably never become a double-edged in his life and death line.
Seeing this situation, Zheng Li was no longer having a headache but a big headache.
He had foreseen that if the poll tax was reimbursed here, it would take away the last place of survival and rations for those children and those who were down and out!
Large-scale rally protests? Based on the local tough folk customs, collective riots are expected.
Even if they don’t cause trouble, since they can’t bear it and are willing to leave obediently, it is equivalent to sending them to hell.
But if you don't charge... that's definitely not possible.
It is just that the local government is not involved in the operation of the local government. It is impossible to have the privilege of "tax-free" just by re-inserting the local city system.
Otherwise, let alone whether other districts will cause trouble, they require the same conditions.
As long as the local government establishes the most basic administrative and living order, those large enterprises and companies will flock in to avoid taxes. Countless middle and lower-level people will take the initiative to influx, and they will break the entire balance of Shiqian's periphery and will be immediately dragged to the heart-to-heart talk by the guards.
"......In this regard, writing a report can't make me suffer by myself. Let the decision makers see it earlier and start to worry early."
Zheng Li did not hesitate to throw this into the matter that exceeded his limit of his ability.
No matter what the final result is, whether the superiors have to take it on their own (then give us more discretion first), or to issue separate policies and send specialists, the sooner the better.
"On the necessity of local tax reform and the extremely serious consequences it may lead to..."
Zheng Li began to think about the topic of the report and the outline. Yu Junxiang was still enthusiastically introducing the local situation to her "master"...
"This gang runs XX, with 2XX people, the most ruthless one is XXX..."
Along the way, Zheng Li had heard too many such introductions, and also met the big man in Yu Junxiang's mouth several times, and was pressed by black armbands... She didn't say "Some Gang leader is super awesome", but just directly introduced her name and business scope.
The administrative work is to find problems, collect problems, and solve problems. The problems Zheng Li collected along the way were basically something he could solve alone.
Of course, in some areas, it is more accustomed to jumping to the last step and directly solving the people who raise the problem... Zheng Li only hopes that the colleagues he meets later will be more reliable, and not the one who "solves people".
Yes, colleagues, the first plenary meeting of the new temporary team was naturally held in this autonomous region.
Zheng Li is now on the way to attend the conference, and then looked at the local situation from the perspective of a manager, and then collected a lot of problems, many of which were even unsolvable.
"I hope my colleagues will be more reliable, or they can bring more detailed instructions from above. What do they think about this area? Is it just a transitional stability and fill in the surrounding areas with security loopholes, and it will be messy as much as they should afterwards. Or do I really include this area in the city's control system... that's the epic difficulty."
But Zheng Li felt that if it weren't for the latter, there would be no need for the superior to this trouble. He organized a professional management organization and transferred it to him.
"Even if there is no big shot, don't drag it down..."
At this time, Zheng Li could only pray that the future leadership team would be reliable. In such a difficult working environment, if there was another pig teammate, it would be really helpless.
But let alone, he soon met his old acquaintance and strangers who looked familiar.
