Li Xuan knew that many officials in the Tang Empire had a lot of corrupt officials.

Even though the Tang Empire is very strict about the rectification of officials, and the supervision is also very large, but such a thing as corrupt officials has not been eliminated since ancient times, and it is not possible here in the Tang Dynasty.

So many times, Li Xuan is also in line with the attitude of turning a blind eye, as long as the officials below don't go too far, he won't be angry about it, otherwise, he will have to go crazy every day!

Tired!

Therefore, as long as the Inspectorate continues to crack down, Li Xuan will not have much opinion.

However, even if you are usually corrupt or engage in the abuse of power for personal gain, at such a critical moment, there are still people who dare to attack the disaster relief funds!

This kind of thing, Li Xuan can't tolerate it!

This disaster relief fund is related to the livelihood of tens of millions of people, without the disaster relief money, I don't know how many people will starve to death, and then 100% will evolve into displaced people, and then shake the foundation of the Tang Dynasty's rule.

How could Li Xuan tolerate this kind of thing?

Absolutely intolerable!

Li Xuan looked at the report carefully, and what the report said was only about Taoyuan County, and said that there were problems in the five resettlement sites under Taoyuan County, and the problems were relatively similar, that is, the victims did not get the farm tools and food they should get.

Specifically, a large number of people do not get the wages they deserve when they are working for relief, and they are paid less or not at all.

Unless it is a special circumstance, it is generally not to directly distribute food and other materials to the victims for a long time, but to provide them with job opportunities within their ability, so that they can get wages through work, and then use labor money in exchange for food and other materials.

However, in Taoyuan County's cash-for-work scheme, many of the victims were in arrears, and even officials in some places told the victims that their labor was unpaid and unpaid in the name of conscription.

But in reality, the official treasury allocates funds for each project, and the wages of the workers are given priority.

After all, the purpose of cash-for-work is not to say that it is to build any project, it is only incidental, but to allow the victims to have a job and earn money to support their families.

Sometimes there will even be some seemingly absurd projects, such as the scheduled ditch to dig one meter deep and one meter wide, but later when the actual construction is carried out, it often becomes two meters deep and three or four meters wide, why? In fact, it is to increase the amount of work, so that cash-for-work can cover more labor and extend the time.

In fact, it is also an important means for the Tang Dynasty to carry out water conservancy facilities and various infrastructure projects in recent years, even in some places where there are no disasters, the government will also use the name of cash-for-work to hire local young people to dig ditches and repair roads during the agricultural slack time.

But in Taoyuan County, cash-for-work has become no wages, or less wages, how do you let those victims live?

Stay alive!

What to do if you live? Starve to death?

Impossible!

Even the most cowardly peasants will burst out in the face of hunger, and a few bold and ambitious people will immediately turn into a rebellion.

Check, must be strictly investigated!

Li Xuan directly gave instructions to Hantong to strictly investigate, not only Taoyuan County, but also other prefectures and counties, and once it is verified, directly hand over the evidence to the local inspectorate.

Han Tong, who received Li Xuan's instructions, soon took action.

As an espionage organization, they have much more means of investigating cases than patrol police, and they will not have too many limitations, and soon, the situation in Taoyuan County will be investigated.

In the course of the investigation, Hantong also found a very interesting situation, that is, the cash-for-work project in Taoyuan County was not organized by the government itself or an enterprise owned by the local government.

Instead, they were entrusted to several private enterprises!

In the past, cash-for-work projects were water conservancy and various infrastructure projects, which were usually either directly organized by the government and recruited manpower, or entrusted to construction enterprises under the local government.

But very few of them are handed over to private companies.

These cash-for-work infrastructure projects in Taoyuan County have been handed over to private enterprises, so that private enterprises can recruit people to build them.

And it is these private enterprises that deduct wages.

And when the people of the Inspectorate directly demanded that these enterprises pay their wages, they directly went bankrupt, and a large amount of project funds have been transferred through various business cooperation.

In this way, when it is really time to investigate, it can only catch the few management who have been clearly pushed out as scapegoats.

At this time, even if you know that the money has been transferred, but people have also transferred it through normal business practices, and there is no way to recover the money.

Even the follow-up cannot be tracked.

But this is a fund involving hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and the Inspectorate can't help it, which doesn't mean that Hantong can't do it.

Hantong continued to investigate, and finally found out that these funds flowed into the stock market through layers of transactions, bank transfers, and finally flowed into the stock market, but the stocks purchased with these funds had become junk stocks at this time.

In other words, the money has come to naught!

But it didn't matter, Hantong continued to investigate, and finally found out that a securities company made a huge profit through related junk stock trading.

And there is no problem with this securities company itself, and the funds for the key operation of this stock belong to a fund under the command of this securities company, and the main investor of this fund belongs to the Chen family, a large gentry in southern Anhui.

And unfortunately, Chen Yibao, the director of the Public Works Department of Huai'an Prefecture, is a child of the Chen family!

Although from the perspective of Datang's existing law, Chen Yibao has nothing to do with the above-mentioned series of transactions.

But will this stump the Han Dynasty?

Joke!

On the night when the truth was found out, Han Tong arrested Chen Yibao!

It wasn't house arrest, it wasn't any inquiry, it was directly arrested, and it was taken away directly from the yamen, and the scene at that time was quite scary.

The prestige of Hantong's eagle dog, ordinary people may not know, because Hantong's business is mainly to monitor civil strife, counter-espionage, and catch corrupt officials, which is not their business scope, and the reason why they arrested Chen Yibao is not because he is corrupt, but because he dares to attack the disaster relief funds, which will cause great turmoil.

The courage is so fat, if you don't catch him, you can't live up to the prestige of Hantong.
