Chapter 3811
Ge Bin and the others naturally regarded the young man as a hero, especially the two girls, who sandwiched him between them, chatting with him. This made Liu Cuilan feel a bit jealous, but she had no choice. These two girls were not bad-looking and were much younger than her. She was a married woman; what could she compete with? Thus, she remained somewhat resentful.
Upon arriving at the village committee, Liu Cuilan called two women to clean out a room next to the office, wiping it clean with a rag, and moved in a few tables to serve as desks for Ge Bin and his team.
Ge Bin took a few laptops out of the car trunk, plugged them in, and set up a small printer. This was their temporary office.
They brought out the vouchers for Jiaoshi Village and began the audit.
Old Shen and Wang Baocai had drunk a lot at noon and hadn't taken a nap. Now that they sat down, they felt dizzy and wanted to find a place to sleep.
Liu Cuilan diligently had the village committee office cleaned, placed two folding beds inside, and let Old Shen and Wang Baocai rest there. Li Erdan might not put the township head in his eyes, but she, Liu Cuilan, dared not.
After letting Old Shen and Wang Baocai rest, Liu Cuilan came to Ge Bin's office, saying she wanted to provide good service by serving tea and water. In reality, she just hovered around the young man, rubbing against him. The two girls looked very unhappy, their eyes like knives, wishing they could carve a piece of flesh off Liu Cuilan.
Ge Bin said, "Director Liu, we don't want anyone else present during the audit, so we don't need your service. Could you please leave?"
Although Liu Cuilan was thick-skinned, she couldn't stay in this situation. She nodded and smiled awkwardly, "Alright, I'll go out first. Call me if you need anything."
After Liu Cuilan left and closed the door, leaving only Ge Bin and his team in the room, Ge Bin whispered to the young man, "Mayor Su, are you really okay?"
It turned out that this young man was Su Xinghui. He had come to Jiaoshi Village with Ge Bin's team because many whistleblowing letters about Jiaoshi Village had been sent to the county and city discipline inspection commissions, which then forwarded them to the audit bureau. The problems here were likely very serious. Su Xinghui attached great importance to village-level financial audits, so he chose Jiaoshi Village as a pilot project and wanted to see the situation here for himself.
Of course, he couldn't come with great fanfare, or he wouldn't see the real situation. So, he followed Ge Bin's team to Jiaoshi Village, disguised as an ordinary accountant.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at Jiaoshi Village, they encountered a freak like Li Erdan who wanted to force them to drink. Su Xinghui was least afraid of drinking, so he naturally proposed to take on four people. Li Erdan didn't know his background and suffered a huge loss.
Su Xinghui said, "I'm fine. Do I look like I'm not?"
The two girls leaned close to Su Xinghui, sniffed him, and said in surprise, "Mayor Su, you are truly amazing. You drank so much, yet there isn't a hint of alcohol on you."
Ge Bin said, "This should be a phenomenon of alcohol immunity. Mayor Su has a lot of enzymes in his body that can decompose alcohol very quickly. For such a person, drinking any amount is like drinking water. Li Erdan has hit a wall."
Su Xinghui nodded, "That must be it, so I'm fine. Don't worry."
The two girls stuck out their tongues, "We were so worried just now, afraid of what might happen to you."
Su Xinghui said, "Since I'm fine, you can start the audit."
Ge Bin and the others nodded and began auditing the vouchers of Jiaoshi Village.
There weren't many vouchers for Jiaoshi Village, only about a dozen books. They were experienced auditors; if they audited carefully, they could finish the vouchers and ledgers in at most two hours. However, not much could be seen from the vouchers alone. To truly gain something, they had to go into the village to investigate.
However, they did gain something from the vouchers and ledgers. Not long after starting the audit, one girl made a discovery. She was auditing a voucher book from this year. In a voucher for land acquisition compensation, she found that many of the recipients' names were those of village cadres or their relatives.
Why could she tell they were relatives of village cadres? Because the village secretary Li Erdan's full name was Li Erda, and these recipients' names were Li Yida, Li Sanda, Li Sida, and Li Wuda. These names looked like Li Erda's brothers at first glance.
These brothers of the secretary received relatively large compensation payments, among the highest of all recipients. This was very strange. Did the road construction route have eyes? Did it happen to pass through their Li family's land?
Some of the compensation for mountain forest timber was even stranger. For example, in a compensation receipt for Li Sanda's family's mountain forest, their family had less than half a mu of forest, yet there were over five hundred trees, all of which were economic tree species. Each was compensated for over one hundred, so these five hundred trees were compensated for about seventy thousand.
This was ridiculous. Less than half a mu of forest land, which was about three hundred square meters, had over five hundred trees planted on it. That is to say, on one square meter of forest land, almost two trees were planted. Whose forest land is planted like this? Can trees survive if planted like this?
Next, the problems they discovered were endless. For example, in a contracting contract from the year before last, Jiaoshi Village contracted five hundred mu of collective forest land to Li Yida, with a contracting price of eight yuan per mu. That is to say, the annual contracting fee for these five hundred mu of forest land was four thousand yuan. How long was the term of this contracting contract? Forty years.
That is to say, Li Yida only spent four thousand yuan a year to contract five hundred mu of forest land, and this price remained unchanged for forty years. Where is this a cabbage price? This is simply a grass price!
On that contracting contract, Li Erda's name was signed on the side representing the village committee, while Li Yida's name was signed on the side of the contractor. These two names were simply ironic.
There were also village cadres or their relatives contracting village engineering projects, and village cadres borrowing money from the village in violation of regulations. The IOUs and receipts for irregular hospitality were as numerous as cow hairs. In short, the number of problems discovered in these dozen books of vouchers was simply appalling. Almost every expenditure voucher had problems.
These vouchers were staggering. Su Xinghui knew that the problems of village-level finance must be very large, but he didn't expect them to be so outrageous. This was almost blatantly embezzling the property of the state and the collective!
No wonder the whistleblowing letters of Jiaoshi Village flew to the discipline inspection commissions and governments at all levels like snowflakes. But this also exposed a problem, that is, the grassroots party building and discipline inspection work still had great defects. Why, after so many whistleblowing letters, could people like Li Erdan still be at large for so many years, and even continue to be the secretary?
Su Xinghui remembered the situation he saw in Jiaoshi Village today. The houses of several village cadres were well-built, almost all of them were multi-story buildings, decorated luxuriously, while the houses of ordinary people were very ordinary, many of them were even dilapidated, and there were some dangerous houses. If Su Xinghui couldn't see why this was the case, then Su Xinghui would be too derelict in his duty.
