Chapter 111, Inventory
Under Ferdinand's orders, no one in Bulgaria dared to disobey the law. All government departments are fully cooperating, and the cabinet is even more staring, just waiting for someone to jump in.
Don't think that only Ferdinand is fighting this group of moths, in fact, the cabinet government headed by Konstantin has long been eyeing them, but the involvement is too big and it is difficult to start for a while.
Who told the government that there is no money now? Although the issuance of a batch of treasury bonds could solve the urgent need, the funding gap of 1896 had not been solved.
Anyway, once the treasury bonds are issued this time, we should not expect to issue them again for several years. Bulgaria has a weak foundation and limited private capital, and being able to digest the first batch of 50 million is already everyone's support for the government.
Since the fall of the Stam government, the government has gained a lot of assets, and everyone has lived a few years of good times. The current government officials have all experienced it, and it seems that anti-corruption is also a good choice when there is no money!
With Ferdinand's support, the Anti-Corruption Bureau exploded into combat effectiveness, and the executives of the National Bank were invited over for tea one by one, and then the government officials were implicated.
Human affection is sophisticated, and it is prevalent everywhere in the world. The National Bank is no exception, with good benefits and high salary, easy and tiring work, which is really a good place to make a mess.
No, it's okay not to check, but I'm shocked when I check it, from top to bottom, inside and out, everywhere is full of related households.
If that's all it takes, it's not worth embarrassing Boris, it's a government trouble anyway, and it has nothing to do with him. But the problem is that these related households are not fuel-efficient lamps, and they are proficient in eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, so they will inevitably reach out to the bank.
There is no doubt that this moment is all packed by Boris, and the network involved in the back is a headache for him. This involves various departments in Bulgaria, including the Anti-Corruption Bureau, and the large and small cadres can add up to a battalion, how to deal with these people? ?
"Director, why don't we report it, and the above will deal with it! It's really hard to conclude whether the issues involving these people are big or small! "A clever brat gave Boris a notice
Boris said helplessly: "You think I haven't thought about it? This problem is a headache for anyone to deal with, and now there are so many involved, how many more are there? If they all have big problems, that easy to do is directly arrested!
But you and I both know that most of them are trivial things, and according to this standard, it is estimated that the government building will be empty soon!
Forget it, let's report it! ”
……
After listening to Boris's report, Ferdinand was not angry, on the contrary, he was happy. I thought that I would catch another vote this time, but I didn't expect that the officials in the government would actually increase their discipline, and there were not a few people who stretched out their hands indiscriminately.
Ferdinand didn't bother with trivial things, no one is perfect, and he is not a nitpicker!
In contrast, Ferdinand was more concerned about how much income he could make this time. looked at Boris and asked lightly: "How many people are involved in the case, and how much stolen money is investigated and dealt with?" ”
Seeing that Ferdinand was not angry, Boris also relaxed, relieved his nervousness and said: "Your Excellency, the Bulgarian National Bank has been involved from top to bottom, including those who have left the company, a total of three hundred and eighty-six people, and the total amount involved is as high as high
Three thousand five million four hundred and fifty thousand leva.
Criminal methods include direct drifting, setting up clever projects, letting relatives and friends empty the amount, illegal lending, and even using bank funds to lend usury outside for personal gain, and so on!! ”
After listening to Boris's statement, Ferdinand became even more interested and asked with concern: "If you go all out to recover, how much loss can you recover?" ”
Boris thought for a moment and said, "Your Excellency, this short time cannot be estimated! Some of them simply squandered it; Some people take advantage of the self-interest they have made new investments and entered the enterprise, losing money and making money, according to the new anti-corruption law, all of which are within the scope of recovery, and the value is difficult to calculate! ”
Ferdinand nodded in satisfaction, the more difficult it is to estimate the wider the scope, the greater the amount. He admired his wit a little, and revised the scope of the recovery of corruption in advance.
According to the new rules, as long as there is corruption, all assets are directly counted as illegal gains. In other words, if one person embezzles, all the family property will be recovered, and the government will confiscate all the investment income.
Ferdinand thought for a moment and said, "Give the list of other officials with less serious circumstances to the cabinet, and let them deal with the mess!" In addition, it was announced that the State Bank would be completely closed for rectification, and all loans would be checked to see how many bad and bad debts there were!! ”
Boris really wants to say that these are not my jobs, and after a long time in officialdom, his political level has improved a lot. Now that Ferdinand had spoken, he wisely did not raise any objections. It's a big deal when other departments deal with it, he has supervised it in the past, and he has completed the task!
Ferdinand didn't bother to care about Boris's thoughts, it was intentional. If someone is watching, the efficiency of the officer will naturally be higher.
……
On the other side, Prime Minister Konstantin felt bad, and after receiving the list, he had a headache.
"Why the hell are so many people involved?"
In order to respond to the problem in a comprehensive way, Boris submitted all those that are related, in line with the principle of killing mistakes and not letting them go. Now almost half of the officials in Sofia's departments are on the list.
"Chekov, my friend, what do you think should be done?"
After thinking about it, Chekov said indifferently: "Konstantin, you are too worried, Boris is expressing his dissatisfaction with us!"
If you look at this Jer, he has had dinner with the executives of the National Bank a few times, so he can be invited by the other party! What kind of problem is this?
At most, it is a matter of personal morality, and the place to eat is in a nightclub! If there was any deal, it is estimated that they would have arrested someone a long time ago, and where would they report the problem to us! ”
Konstantin pondered for a moment and said, "Well, it seems to be right!! If these seven or eight hundred people, big and small, are involved, we don't have to do it, we can just resign! ”
"But these people can't get used to it, and report criticism within the government! Then all of them will be re-educated, and then the exam will be organized, and if they fail to pass the test, they will be let go directly!! ”
In just a few words, Konstantin decided the future of this group of unlucky people. As for how much of the list provided by Boris is wronged, he has no control and has no interest in pursuing it!
The turmoil in the Bulgarian banks, which lasted until the end of 1894, was mainly due to the inventory of property.
It was the second largest corruption case since Ferdinand succeeded to the throne, and the more than 300 people involved in the case were all sentenced to heavy sentences, ranging from ten years to indefinitely, and there was another group of coolies in the mine.
With a total of more than 53 million leva of bad debts and bad debts, it can be said that the Bulgarian National Bank has been hollowed out, and if it is a private bank, it can now be declared bankrupt!
Fortunately, these moths are not all lounge rice bags, many of them still have good financial skills, and their families are very wealthy, allowing the government to make up for the losses.
Theoretically, a total of 98 million leva was confiscated, but in practice many assets became shares in factories or fixed assets such as farms, and less than 10 million leva in cash.
Ferdinand's attempt to solve the financial crisis through anti-corruption was initially bankrupt.
