He just glanced at this Shen Yang's bank account in the Royal Bank for the past six months, and then looked at this person's tax records and basic property investigation, the tax investigator's intuition told him that this person had a problem, a big problem!

Three months ago, this person's bank flow was still limited to a few dozen taels, but three months later, it exploded to thousands of taels in an instant, but the tax record was still the same.

In addition, Shen Yang bought a two-story building with a courtyard in the business district near Yanjiang Road a month ago.

Four or five years ago, it was a wasteland, but now, it is the most expensive commercial and residential area in the whole of Shanghai, and even in the whole of Songjiang Prefecture.

The market price of this two-story building with a courtyard is at least 5,000 taels!

Because this place is just by the river, next door is the commercial center of the entire business district, where a large number of large companies and government agencies gather, such as the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the Third Securities Company, the Zhili Textile Bank, etc.

Therefore, this area is also attractive to a large number of dignitaries and nobles to buy industries, and the price is also higher and higher.

And Shen Yang is just the owner of a small noodle restaurant, even if he sells the entire noodle restaurant and takes out all his family resources, it is estimated that he will not be able to afford this two-story small building!

And this person's cousin, that is, Shenyang, happens to be the project manager of the third phase of the dock project of the Shanghai Wharf Company, who was just promoted in four months, and was only a deputy manager before.

There's definitely something wrong here, big problem!

Whether this person is corrupt or not, the tax officials naturally do not pay attention to it and do not care, but from the perspective of this person's tax discipline, it is the same as before, in other words, he suddenly obtained so much corrupt income, but did not pay the corresponding taxes.

That's the problem.

Therefore, the tax investigation official Pingsu soon left with a lot of information, and next, he will conduct a detailed tax investigation on many senior executives of the Shanghai terminal company, including Shen Yang.

What will the Ministry of Taxation do, Chen Lifu can generally guess, but he doesn't care, because the next thing, in fact, he can't intervene, after all, he is no longer a person from the Ministry of Taxation, if he rushes to intervene, there is a suspicion of overstepping his authority, those like hungry wolves will not let go of this opportunity, even if it can't bring Chen Lifu any actual conviction, but a piece of impeachment is definitely indispensable.

Therefore, the current Chen Lifu has to avoid suspicion.

After returning to the prefect's yamen, he also began to be busy with his other affairs, after all, the matter of the Shanghai Wharf Company was just the first fire he had booked, and in fact, this fire was already burning, and almost all the problematic management had been arrested, even if they could not be convicted in the end, it could be regarded as pulling out the moths of the Shanghai Wharf Company, and more importantly, this case had begun to be reported gradually, and directly attracted the attention of the upper echelons, especially the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises. We have already maintained great concern about this new type of criminal fact exposed by the Shanghai Terminal Company.

Because they have already realized that this kind of behavior is not only the matter of the Shanghai Dock Company, but also the crime that may occur in all state-owned enterprises.

However, this kind of behavior of employees of the enterprise using various contracts to harm the interests of the company through their own authority, but they themselves do not directly benefit from such contract transactions, and the current laws of Datang do not make clear restrictions on this, so it is difficult to convict them.

This situation must not be sustainable!

The Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises has already begun to carry out surprise internal investigations of almost all enterprises in the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, and at the same time contacted the Economic Crime Department of the Patrol Police Department to investigate.

Although the current legal framework does not directly criminalize such acts, not every criminal suspect can have such a clear precaution as the group of people at the Shanghai Wharf Company, and as long as they can be found to have benefited directly or indirectly from such contractual transactions, then they can be directly prosecuted for the crime of embezzlement of state-owned assets.

In fact, these are more troublesome for employees employed by government-run enterprises, if they are officials of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, then it is much simpler, if there is clear evidence, directly convict them of embezzlement and bribery, embezzlement of state-owned assets, and so on, even if they are not found to benefit directly or indirectly, it is not in the way, thinking that against officials, there is also a crime of dereliction of duty.

Because of the work mistakes caused by heavy losses, this properly meets the criteria for conviction for the crime of dereliction of duty!

This crime of dereliction of duty is only aimed at officials, and this thing is also a big basket, basically everything can be loaded into it, basically when something happens, when officials need to be responsible for it, most of them are indispensable for such a crime.

However, for the handling of officials in the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, this is not a big problem, the Tang Dynasty is still in the early days of the founding of the country, all aspects are still relatively positive and healthy, and the tolerance for corruption is relatively low.

It's just that it's not the officials who are in trouble now, it's just the employees of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, and people are not affected by the crime of dereliction of duty, which is specifically aimed at officials.

This situation must not be sustainable, and after the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises learned of this case, on the one hand, it conducted an internal investigation, and on the other hand, it directly began to promote the law formulated by the Ministry of Justice.

Under the promotion of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, the Ministry of Justice has already begun to prepare to formulate relevant laws and prepare to plug this loophole.

From this, it can also be seen that the energy of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises is still relatively small.

In the early years of the empire, in fact, the most powerful was not the Ministry of Taxation, but the Ministry of Industry, which was in charge of many government-run enterprises, produced all kinds of ordnance materials, and provided weapons, ammunition and almost all other war materials for the war of unification.

At that time, the power of the Ministry of Industry was quite large, and it was because of too much power that it was split.

The Ministry of Industry was directly split into two departments, and almost all the government-run enterprises and corresponding affairs were separated, and then the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises was established, and the rest of the construction and other affairs were left to the Ministry of Industry.

After the split, the Ministry of Industry basically only became a construction department, mainly responsible for large-scale projects promoted by the state, such as roads, water conservancy, and urban infrastructure.

The Ministry of State-owned Enterprises inherited most of the power of the Ministry of Industry, that is, the government-run enterprises, and the role of these government-run enterprises during the War of Unification was very large, which directly led to the very great influence of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises.

Although the War of Unification is over, the influence of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises has declined, but as an institution that controls all the government-run enterprises of the empire, the influence of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises is still very large.

The current industrial development of the Tang Empire is only a preliminary stage, and in the preliminary stage, private capital usually does not invest in those heavy industries, because heavy industries represent large investment and slow returns, such as the most representative steel industry, there are not many private capitals involved in the current situation, and occasionally there are a few private capitals, but generally speaking, the scale is not large.

Because of the current steel industry, the entry threshold is still relatively high, tens of thousands of taels of silver thrown in, there is no blister, to build a large steel plant, without hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, do not expect to be able to succeed.

However, there are not many private capitals that can get so much money, and even if there is, people are more willing to invest money in the light industry represented by the textile industry with fast returns and high profits.

Nowadays, the industry and commerce are in a period of high development, and any factory can make a lot of money, and they are not guilty of investing in heavy industries that require huge investments and can only pay for themselves in more than ten years.

Of course, there's also the huge problem that they can't find that many technical talents.

Therefore, at present, in the Tang Empire, state-owned capital accounts for more than 90 percent of the scale of heavy industry, and the representative iron and steel industry, and the iron and steel enterprises affiliated to the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises account for more than 95 percent.

This is not to say that the number of government-run iron and steel enterprises is large, but refers to their output, in fact, the iron and steel companies prepared by private capital, now there are not a hundred but also eighty, basically there will be many places, but these private capital steel companies, generally small steel mills, almost all private steel plants combined, steel output is not as good as a Jiangnan iron and steel company!

The Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, in fact, basically represents the heavy industry and new industry of the Tang Empire, although the voice of the Tang Empire has been reduced in the past two years, but it is still very high, and they want to promote the relevant laws, which will naturally be much faster.

At least, it's much faster than a local official like Chen Lifu to push it!

However, the draught did not forget to dig the well, and Chen Lifu, as the first official to find out this problem, naturally and inevitably entered the field of vision of the upper echelons again.

Even Qian Aoli, the secretary of the Ministry of Taxation and the minister on duty in the imperial study, couldn't help but exclaim after hearing this: "This person just likes to make trouble!" ”

When Chen Lifu was in the Ministry of Taxation before, he often made trouble and tossed, and thousands of people died because of this.

After taking up a post in the Financial Department of the Ministry of Finance, in just a few months, he also came up with a securities reform, which directly affected the development of the entire financial industry.

Now I went to Songjiang Mansion as a fellow intellectual, according to reason, this kind of local deputy, although there is still actual authority, but usually not too big, the local leader in charge of the government, will not let his deputy mess around, because even if you want to make trouble, it is also the business of the first leader, those deputy positions want to go over the first leader to make their own limelight, and people will press you down in minutes.
