During this period, it was found that there was corruption in the warehouse, and Guo did not find it strange at all.

If you can't find out, Guo will feel very strange.

That's the big problem, Guo someone is not going to send Guo Jin out to investigate to the end, to see what the hell the officials in the three states of Hebei have made the warehousing look like.

Now 30% of the storage problems have proved that the situation is still within the controllable range.

The local government has no right to interfere in the warehousing in various localities, and the Central Military Department is responsible for the management of all the grain, money, and military supplies in the strategic warehousing.

The local government just put in the things that need to be put into the warehouse according to the orders of the imperial court, and then it has nothing to do with them, whether it is damaged or naturally consumed, it is all a matter of the Ministry of War.

But if there is too much deviation in the data, then something is almost certain to be wrong.

When the time comes, if there is a problem before entering the warehouse, then the place will be held accountable, and if there is a problem after entering the warehouse, then the military department will be held accountable.

The government established by Guo has regulations on how to do things directly from the central government to the local authorities at many levels, and many local powers are controlled by the central government and will not be delegated.

Whether it is the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Officials, or the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, they all hold power in many matters, clamp down on localities, and restrict local powers, which is the characteristic of the Guo Wei Empire since its founding.

Guo Peng learned from the lesson of the former Han Dynasty's weak central power and strong local power, and greatly expanded the power of the central government and limited the power of local officials on a large scale, which strengthened the centralization of power without preceding it and allowed the emperor to grasp more power.

In order to cooperate with the expansion of the central government's power, the number of bureaucrats in the central government of the Wei Empire has also expanded unprecedentedly, and the number of officials in the central government of the Wei Empire is several times higher than that of the former Emperor Huan Ling of the Han Dynasty.

With this as a background, the military department in charge of military logistics naturally also controlled a large number of warehouses at the local level, and was in charge of all logistics and military supplies of the Wei Empire.

This is the largest family foundation of the Wei Empire.

The local government is only responsible for transporting the materials to the warehouse according to a certain proportion and handing them over, and after the handover is completed, the rest of the matter is the business of the military department, and has nothing to do with the local government.

However, if it is found that there is a problem with the stored materials in the warehouse, it will be an indiscriminate inspection, and if the problem is found in the local area, it will be very dangerous.

Not surprisingly, the problem still appeared, and Sancheng warehousing had material data that did not match, all over Jizhou and Youzhou, and the warehousing in the three states were found to have problems.

The assassin Shi Xiahoudun, the assassin of Jizhou, Han Hao, and the assassin of Youzhou, Xian Yufu, were all questioned by officials of the Ministry of War and officials of the Third Division sent by Guo Peng to investigate corruption.

"The specific situation, your military department should hand over a complete and detailed report to me as soon as possible, although I didn't think about immediately leading the troops to attack Xianbei now, but the preparations that should be made must not be less, the grain and grass should be moved, and this matter must be fastened."

Guo Peng looked at Dong Zhao who was following him: "Before the Northern Expedition, I want a group of heads to land, so that the Northern Expedition can be stable, and some people will not do their best if they don't see the heads landing." ”

Dong Zhao trembled in his heart and immediately obeyed.

The preparations for the Northern Expedition and the large-scale anti-corruption investigation were counted together, and they befell the three states of Hebei together.

In the past, a large number of officials from the three divisions rushed to investigate the case, and after that, a large number of officials from the military department rushed to investigate the warehouse.

However, the first big case to break out was not Hebei Sanzhou, but Liangzhou, and the matter of saltwater bibimbap was reported to Luoyang Sansi by Chen Zhen, the leader of the Liangzhou investigation team, and then sent to Tianting.

At that time, Guo Peng smashed the teacup in his hand.

"Bibimbap? Okay, good, good!! ”

Su Yuan looked at the emperor who was gritting his teeth, and he couldn't stop trembling.

The emperor was angry, not in general.

Usually when the emperor is so angry, it is inevitable that people will die.

If you break a teacup and get angry, I'm afraid there won't be few dead people, and things like family involvement will definitely happen.

Of course, Guo Peng was very angry.

He immediately ordered the matter to be further investigated, and it was imperative that every official who had been found guilty of corruption should spit out everything he knew.

Who leads, who assists in corruption, who assists in selling stolen goods, how to sell stolen goods, and so on.

Then all the offending officials were beheaded, none of them were left, their homes were raided, they were abolished as concubines, all their families were exiled to Pingzhou, and the three generations of children and grandchildren were imprisoned and not allowed to be officials.

All officials, clansmen, friends, and other people involved in the corrupt acts had their homes raided, the offenders were beheaded, and the rest were exiled to Pingzhou, where they were not allowed to return to their hometowns.

The above should be supervised by the officials of the penal colony, and for the rest of their lives, they are only allowed to eat bibimbap, and only give a spoonful of salt water that can't even mix rice.

Eat till you die.

If someone dares to have mercy and does not supervise carefully, once discovered, the supervisory officials will be the same, and they will eat bibimbap for the rest of their lives until they die.

Liangzhou Thorn Shi Mao Jue is not the main person responsible, but there is a crime of unknown people, and for the sake of timely detection and rapid processing, he will be punished with a penalty of three months.

As the main person responsible, Fa Cao failed to discover the illegal acts of the officials in a timely manner, and the officials of the local auditing, transportation, and verification departments failed to fulfill their duties in the process of material allocation, transportation, and arrival at the destination, and all of them must be held accountable.

From top to bottom, don't even think about running!

Grassroots bureaucrats, I can replace as many as I can.

A village chief and township head, do you still want to argue with you?!

Some auxiliary officials, do they still want family classics?!

You must not feel that you don't care, that you are unique and irreplaceable.

None of you are unique to me.

Guo's anger broke through the sky, pouring out his angry will on the land of Xiliang.

The corrupt officials poured blood mold.

At the end of December of the fourth year of Yande, more than 100 Liangzhou officials fell to the ground.

Their families, clansmen, friends, and other people involved in this matter, and those who have endured this part of the stolen goods have also fallen to the ground, and no one has been forgiven.

Even if you just embezzle a little food, a little money, only once or twice, you will be cut.

More than 300 people fell to the ground, and more than 600 people were implicated and exiled.

From the state capital to the county government to the people below, and even the officials of the Liangzhou branch of the Central Ministry of Finance, as long as they are involved, none of them survive.

The county government was not qualified to participate in this matter, but survived.

This was administrative, and on the army side, more than thirty low-ranking officers and quartermasters involved in the matter were dragged out and beheaded.

Their families have been deprived of the treatment of military dependents, the land they have been rewarded, their share of tax exemptions, the gifts they have given for the holidays, and the abundance of food for their children and grandchildren.

They were demoted to ordinary people, and were exiled to Pingzhou, and they were treated the same in the future, they were only allowed to eat bibimbap in salt water for the rest of their lives, and were not allowed to eat anything else, until they died.

The number of military involved, including military dependents, is more than 200.

Including the administrative bureaucracy, a total of 1,200 officials, their families, clansmen and friends were punished in this corruption case.

Eleven merchants in Liangzhou who were found to have assisted in the sale of stolen goods were confiscated, all men were beheaded, and all women were sold into slavery.

Rao is like this, Guo Peng is still resentful.

According to the investigation report of the Liangzhou investigation team, because of the corruption of more than 100 officials, about 50,000 strong men on the road construction sites in the four counties of Hexi did not receive the three meals a day stipulated by the imperial court when they worked, let alone eat meat.

It was the corruption of more than 100 people that implicated more than 50,000 people, damaged the interests of more than 50,000 people, and made his image as an emperor not so tall and not so majestic in the hearts of more than 50,000 people.

Guo Peng was very annoyed.

Even though he knew in advance that something like this would happen, he was still annoyed.

In order to reduce the number of handling procedures, let fewer people have access to this batch of materials, and increase the probability that the materials will be directly implemented, but in the end, there is still such a situation.

Not only the tightening of local power, but also the unprecedented deepening of central power.

In order to better supervise the local government and reduce the occurrence of corruption, we have made every effort to use big data to the anti-corruption level, punish corrupt elements on a large scale, and try to make them have nothing to hide.

But the reality is that they still exist.

No matter how you do it, it's still there.

Whether it is the so-called rule of law or the so-called rule of man, corruption will always exist.

Whether it's a high salary or a low salary, it's still worth making money.

Officials are paid as high as Song, and corruption is still rampant.

The punishment of corrupt officials is as strict as Zhu Yuanzhang, and corrupt officials are still one after another.

It doesn't matter if you give more, or if you give less, it's just not enough, you have to fish, as if you don't fish, you're sorry for the power in your hands.

Whether you are born noble, poor, famous Confucian, or a mountain villager, you will lose your soul when you see money.

Scholars, poor and strong, Li Shu.

No matter what their background is, no matter what they have experienced, there are corrupt people, and class background does not determine whether a person is corrupt or not.

So Guo understands that no matter what, corruption will not disappear.

Because the way of this world is that the loss is not enough to give more than enough, when this mechanism runs to the extreme, it can't run anymore, and then, it will be overturned and restarted.

Decades or hundreds of years, and things are happening all the time.

The reason why it hasn't happened yet is because the time hasn't come yet.

It is not corruption that people hate, but the corrupt people are not themselves.

When they are in power, there are a few people who will follow what they have said to change everything, rather than enjoying what they have not enjoyed.

Therefore, looking at the investigation report in Liangzhou, Guo Peng will also fall into deep thought, and then feel depressed.

He felt that he had done so much, it seemed that he couldn't change anything, that what should have appeared would still appear, and if he overturned a group of people, another group of people would come from behind and continue to dance with the demons.

Keep killing, keep changing, keep changing, is this interesting?

Asking himself, Guo Peng came up with an accurate answer.

Interesting.

Very TM interesting.
