Chapter 446: Deep Reflection
In addition, Lu Mian also unscrupulously accepted bribes from his subordinates and many coal merchants to facilitate their seeking official positions or illegally accumulating wealth.
According to preliminary statistics, Lu Mian's illegal property has reached 730,000 yuan, which is still the ill-gotten wealth he illegally collected in just one year, which is really shocking.
And Liu Yifu's case is an out-and-out nest case. Because from the county order Liu Yifu onwards, including the chief bookkeeper, county lieutenant and other officials at all levels, are more or less involved in this case.
However, the amount of money involved in the case is not very large, and the bribes and embezzlements of all the people are only about 200,000 yuan. Among them, Liu Yifu alone received as much as 93,000 yuan in stolen money, which is also more than 300 times his annual legal income. And most of the officials in Xuan County are involved, which is really shocking.
If there are dozens of such corrupt officials in the whole of Yunnan, and corruption is rampant in the government, and the upper and lower levels are effective, they will not lose their credibility, they will be poked in the backbone by the people, and they will lose the legitimacy of their ruling power.
And what makes Li Yi most sad is that Lu Mian has always been an official who he is quite optimistic about, and intends to reuse him with careful cultivation, but he didn't expect him to fall into the gutter in a daze.
Following the previous Fuyuan County Commander Fei Yin, he once again interpreted corruption to the extreme, and the stolen money was even much higher than Fei Yin, and he lived a luxurious and erosive life, opening brothels and raising concubines, to the point of outrageous.
Two major corruption cases with wide implications appeared one after another, which made Li Yi begin to reflect on the source of the fraud case. With the rapid development of Yunnan's economy, all kinds of temptations are also coming, and whether or not they can stick to the bottom line of being an official, or even the bottom line of being a person, is a test for officials at all levels bathed in the economic tide.
In the process of such rapid economic development, it is inevitable that a considerable number of people will not be able to withstand the test, will not be able to resist the temptation and will take risks and embark on the road of no return for people and money, which is very difficult to avoid.
The key lies in what kind of thinking the rulers have, whether the law can be enforced, and whether the supervision of the entire society can be taken seriously.
So for the cases of Lu Mian and Liu Yifu, in the final analysis, Li Yi only has two requirements. The first is that we must uphold the principle of offsetting the punishment for crimes, so that those who violate the law can receive the punishment they deserve. Second, it is necessary to take this case as an opportunity to widely publicize it in Yunnan and play a role as a spur and warning to the vast number of officials, so as to prevent any more people from falling into the quagmire of greed and not being able to extricate themselves, so that their reputations will be ruined.
In accordance with the spirit of the above two points, after discussion and adoption at the Yunnan executive meeting, it was decided to execute Lu Mian, who committed the most heinous crime, and confiscate all his property except for the basic living expenses of his relatives.
Fuyuan County coal merchants Wang Yuancheng and Liu Yihe were involved in a huge amount of money, and they were also sentenced to death in accordance with the law for various crimes such as illegal mining, evasion of huge taxes, bullying and dominating the market, forced buying and selling, and offering huge bribes. The rest of the people involved were equally sentenced to cane prison sentences of varying durations.
Although the amount of money involved in the case is much smaller, Liu Yifu and other criminals involved in the nest case are very serious, but they are very numerous, widely implicated, and gang up for corruption.
It was decided that he would be sentenced to 10 years in caning and confiscation of all illegal gains, which is the highest sentence in the current caning sentence, while others were also sentenced to caning and property for different periods.
Lu Mian asked to see Li Yi many times before his execution, but Li Yi refused without hesitation. This is not simply a line with him, or the reason for his own hard-heartedness.
But Li Yi has already made up his mind to resolutely curb this kind of corrupt behavior, and let those who come after him understand that in Yunnan under his rule, there is no way out for corruption, and he will never tolerate it, no matter who it is, for whatever reason, as long as he crosses this red line, there will be no reason to get out of it.
When Lu Mian, Liu Yifu, and other officials fall from power, they must always promote a number of officials to fill the vacancies. But Li Yi has now become cautious, lest he appoint some corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the whole mess will be messed up.
Therefore, Li Yi arranged for Zheng Wenzhong to concurrently serve as the magistrate of Fuyuan County, and Dongfang Jing concurrently served as the magistrate of Xuanxian County, but the official officials did not dare to appoint them. This is really 'once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope'!
After more than a month of depression, Li Yi gradually stepped out of the shadow of this corruption incident, and many development plans for Yunnan were also put on the agenda. In particular, Lin Jin's proposal to expand the scale of Ningzhou City and improve the detailed planning of municipal projects made Li Yi very interested.
Therefore, Li Yi summoned Lin Yi, Zheng Wenzhong, Jian Zheng, Qian Shitang, He Shoujie, Li Hui, Jiang Hua, Xiao Hui, Qiu Feng, Xiang Zhong, Lin Jin, Lu Lizhan, Tang Jingtian, Shi Xuezong and others to the study of the Xuanfu Embassy to discuss the feasibility of this plan.
Li Yi spoke first: "Ningzhou City was built in the Sui and Tang dynasties, after three hundred years of changes, and several changes of ownership, it was only owned by my Han Dynasty 20 years ago. There has been basically no structural change in the middle, there has been no expansion in scale, and the appearance of the urban area is still the same, although after the baptism of several wars, there has been no major damage. ”
However, in the past 300 years, the population of Ningzhou City has increased several times, and the population has reached more than 50,000, and the overcrowding situation has become more and more serious. And the city's supporting facilities are also overwhelmed. Government school buildings and markets of all kinds have become overcrowded and cannot meet the needs of the people of Ningzhou. ”
"Others, such as fire prevention and drainage facilities, are already very simple and cannot meet the requirements of emergency evacuation, if there is any fire, flood or something, these facilities can not ensure the safety of the people of Ningzhou."
"Therefore, it is necessary for us to renovate Ningzhou City, expand the scale of the city, improve various supporting facilities, and make Ningzhou a livable city that meets people's various needs, which will be our main work in the next few years."
"Let's let Lin Senjun elaborate on the planning of Xinningzhou City, and you will brainstorm and put forward more opinions, and strive to make the planning and design of this expansion more perfect and detailed, so as to carry out this work as soon as possible. Lin joins the army, just talk about it! ”
Seeing Li Yi's signal, Lin Jin hurriedly nodded and said: "Dashuai, ladies and gentlemen, after the completion of the Xiangshui Dam Reservoir, Lin Jin began to carry out the planning and layout of the expansion of Ningzhou City according to the arrangement of Dashuai. After two or three months of on-site investigation and layout design, and after countless revisions, a more detailed plan was finally come up. ”
"But the benevolent see the benevolent, the wise see the wise, my plan is not completely reasonable, there are many unexpected places, and even design mistakes, not in line with the actual situation, but also please give me advice, and work together to improve the planning of Ningzhou City." ()
