Chapter 84: The Economic Frontier (19)
From October to January of the following year, it is the third meeting of the new government of the Republic of China. The year 1864 was the first meeting of the Second National Congress of the Liberation Party. This involves the issue of re-election of party organizations at all levels. The State Council, which is in trial operation, also has to come up with a work report.
On November 11, Wang Mingshan went to meet with Lin Asheng, Secretary of the Party Committee of the National Political and Legal Committee, with Wu Qilu, Secretary of the Party Committee of the Ministry of Finance. The two veteran revolutionaries, who had joined the ranks in the early days of the Liberation Army, began to discuss the latest issues.
The weather at this time was very comfortable, but Wang Mingshan felt that hot sweat broke out on his forehead and cold sweat on his back. Because of the depression, he felt that his steps had become heavy. Starting with the gap between the profitability and the budget of the rubber enterprises, the investigators of the budget department went to the rubber factory to investigate. At first, no one thought it was going to be a big deal. Budgets are never accurate, and investigators often investigate.
As a result of the survey, a considerable number of Jiefang shoes were processed due to the increase in the defective product rate. This change has led directly to a decline in profitability.
This is not a surprising conclusion, as the rate of defective products during the mass production of industrial products has always been a major problem. Therefore, the Ministry of Finance passed on the problem to the responsible Ministry of Industry, and this kind of problem can be said to be piled up in the Ministry of Industry. Many problems have dragged on for several years and have not been fully resolved. In normal times, most of the real solutions to this problem would have to be given by the Governor himself.
But this time the matter did not "bother" Wei Dudu, and the industrial department actually gave a reply at a super speed. "This is a human error, and the matter should be dealt with by the National Committee for the Eradication of Counter-Revolution and Sabotage."
The "National Extraordinary Committee for the Eradication of Counter-Revolution and Sabotage" is a work unit under the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, and according to the current work process, this has nothing to do with the Ministry of Finance. As long as there are counter-revolutionaries and saboteurs within the Ministry of Finance itself, the Ministry of Finance will at most assist in handling the case. But the whole thing is far beyond Wang Mingshan's imagination.
Because he was the manager of that year's budget, he got some news. There was a gang in the No. 3 Rubber Factory, which deliberately assessed several batches of qualified liberation shoes as unqualified, and then sold them to "non-governmental merchants" on the pretext of disposing of defective products, and then the customs officers in collusion with non-governmental businessmen exported the shoes overseas. The American Civil War was in full swing. There is no need to go into detail about the help of liberation shoes for the war effort.
The actions of these people not only greatly reduced the profits of rubber companies, but also caused considerable losses to customs revenues. And it is said that the leader of this gang is Wei Changshou, the nephew of the emperor Comrade Wei Ze.
It is an unprecedented thing to hit the idea on the head of the military industrial enterprises of the Liberation Army. In fact, the purpose of the establishment of the "National Extraordinary Committee for the Elimination of Counter-Revolution and Sabotage" was not to suppress the counter-revolution, and naturally many units were responsible for suppressing the counter-revolution. This attitude equates sabotage with counter-revolution. The reason why state-owned enterprises do not do well is that the punishment for failure of state-owned enterprises is very light, and if there is no corruption, it is generally just a loss of future. Therefore, the use of criminal law to deal with the problems in state-owned enterprises, and even the characterization of them as counter-revolutionaries, is the only way to maintain a basic discipline under the heavy pressure of such severe punishment.
Of course, Wang Mingshan knew how determined Wei Ze was, so he pinched a cold sweat about the impact that finding out about Wei Ze's nephew would bring to Wei Ze. The facts of the case were not disclosed to Wang Mingshan, but Wang Mingshan now has some connections. So his classmates in the party school secretly confided some information. According to those people, it was Weese who acquiesced in what they did.
After hearing this, Wang Mingshan was furious, and he shouted: "These people dare to bite Wei Dudu? β
After so many years of construction of the court system, the brother who handled the case was not confused, he sneered: "We will not be deceived by these bastards." There was no hint from the governor in the whole thing. The so-called acquiescence of the governors was all said by themselves. And if the governor wants money, do he need to do such a bad thing? An instruction, how much money is given to the governor every year, and who dares not to agree? β
After the brother of the Political and Legal Committee said this, Wang Mingshan was even more sure that this matter had nothing to do with Wei Ze. The budget committee of the Ministry of Finance is a unit initiated and established by Weese, and what is repeatedly emphasized in the unit is what Weeser said, "The money of the state is the money of all the people of the country, not the money of a certain person." Wei Ze has never allocated any extra money to himself, and his ethics are extremely convincing to Wang Mingshan.
Wang Mingshan knew very well that he was able to get to where he is today, and it was indeed his friend Shen Xin who pulled him onto the boat that followed Wei Ze in Anqing, and more importantly, he was appreciated and promoted by Wei Ze. Therefore, Wang Mingshan was eager to kill those who ruined Wei Ze's reputation with his own hands. At the same time, he was also very disturbed that he had personally promoted the matter that implicated Weese. In this era, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Wei Ze was completely framed by someone who has been bitten and framed. But there will undoubtedly be many people who suspect that Weeser instructed his relatives to do bad things.
With heavy steps, Wang Mingshan went to find Shen Xin. As the director of the political department, Shen Xin should have a way to find a way to clear Wei Ze's innocence, right?
Shen Xin obviously heard about this for the first time, and with Wang Mingshan's narration, most of the time there was a deep hatred on his calm and calm face. Seeing such a hateful expression, he saw Shen Xin's tightly clenched fists. Wang Mingshan felt a lot more relaxed in his heart.
When Wang Mingshan's narration ended, Shen Xin gritted his teeth and squeezed out the words from between his teeth, "Damn, these people must be killed!" β
However, this anger did not last long, and after Shen Xin's feelings subsided slightly, he said to Wang Mingshan with a straight face: "Mingshan, you can trust me, I am very grateful. But I now ask you not to tell anyone about it again! Your boss must have said that to you, right? β
Wu Qilu, Secretary of the Party Committee of the Ministry of Finance, did say this to Wang Mingshan, and Wang Mingshan sighed: "I won't tell you, I feel uncomfortable." Those people must be killed, but I'm worried now that no one will really believe it! β
Shen Xin sneered, Wang Mingshan could see that Shen Xin already had some ideas of his own. But what Shen Xin said next was something else, "Mingshan, we have all followed the governor to this day. If someone has ruined the reputation of the governor in this way, we all think the same thing, and we must not spare them. But that's not something you can do to meddle in. How you should work now, how you should work, you don't have to think about it. If you can't help but think, then work, work, work! Got it? It's not like you can meddle in this matter and make things better. Do you understand? β
Wang Mingshan said dejectedly: "But I think I stabbed this hornet's nest......"
"The bad things they did have to do with you!" Shen Xin said angrily, he usually doesn't speak so fiercely, "Did you instigate them to do it?" Did you help them do that? This matter has nothing to do with you, and it is not the job of the budget department to investigate the case. β
Being scolded by Shen Xin like this, although Wang Mingshan's mood did not improve, at least he felt a little more relaxed. He couldn't help but ask, "The Governor won't be angry with me, will he?" β
"King! Bright! Mountain! Shen Xin said angrily word by word, "You TM also said that you are worried that others will think of the governor in the worst, and you TM yourself think about the governor in the good?" How stupid do you have to be to be angry with you because you are involved in this matter? You...... You...... Get the hell out of here now! β
This angry scolding made Wang Mingshan suddenly enlightened. Oh, yes! How could a person as sensible as Governor Wei Zedu be angry with Wang Mingshan because he did his job? This is Wang Mingshan's own heart. slapped his face twice, and Wang Mingshan's expression finally returned to normal. He said to Shen Xin: "It's true that I'm thinking nonsense. What you're saying is that I'm never going to get involved in this again! β
Seeing that Wang Mingshan finally stopped making mistakes, Shen Xin sighed, "Alas! Mingshan, no one dares to make their own decisions about this matter, and Secretary Lin of the Political and Legal Committee will definitely sue the governor of SΓΉ about this matter. And just dispose of such things quietly, why make a fuss so that everyone knows about it! This Wei Changshou should be killed, but after all, he is the nephew of the governor, and after killing it, it will be fine. Why make such a fuss that everyone knows! If you really want to save more face for the governor, then let's not say anything. It's not appropriate to say anything! β
Wang Mingshan nodded, he stood up and left, and sure enough, he didn't say anything.
That evening, in Weeser's office.
"Dudu, Wei Changshou is your nephew, he should be killed, but everyone knows that this matter always hurts your face. Just execute them all, and let's not say anything. It's not appropriate to say anything! After Lin Asheng reported the situation, he came up with the conclusion that he had discussed with Wu Qilu.
"Humph! Hum! Huh! Weser sneered through his nostrils. Wei Ze didn't expect this kind of thing of relatives doing nonsense with power, but he didn't expect it to happen even more unbearable than Wei Ze thought.
Wei Ze's parents once told Wei Ze that you must not trust bad people. Don't look at the bad guy who can pat his chest and say when he does bad things, he is absolutely tight-lipped, and he will never bite indiscriminately. But when it's time to be caught, they will all push the responsibility to others without exception, and the favorite sentence of these people is "I was forced!" β
This fact is clearly proved in this incident, not to mention the group of former water heroes from the boat army, in their opinion, they are just doing business. There are some cadres in the customs and rubber factories who are involved in this matter, and their reasons are varied.
"I don't have money to buy a house, and the people in my family force them to ask for money every day, so I have to do these things!"
"I'm afraid of offending Governor Weze, I'm afraid of hurting Governor Wezedu's face, so I have to do these things!"
"I'm afraid that this matter will be exposed and damage the reputation of the governor of Wei Zedu, so I am ready to stop. It's just that I didn't expect the investigators to come so quickly to offend Governor Wei Zedu! β
If you listen to the reasons of these people, they are all loyal and filial sons, but they are all very good people!
But why did these good men commit these crimes? It seems that it is only the responsibility of the governor of Wei Zedu.
"Dudu, don't be angry with yourself......" Lin Asheng said a little uneasily.
"Haha! Ah Sheng, I'm really not angry. At least I'm not angry now, I think these people have taught me a lesson! After saying that, Wei Ze really smiled bitterly. R1058
