Chapter III: Corruption and Bribery (II)
Shi Jin took the thick stack of papers, looked at the dense names on the list, and felt his scalp tingle.
Jiang Jing said: "I would like to tell my eldest brother that since Jiang Jing assumed the position of head of the household department, he has checked Liangshan's accounts and found that there are many accounts with incorrect amounts. Therefore, after Jiang Jing borrowed manpower from Zhu Gui, the investigation found that many people were corrupt and took bribes, including many leaders. Jiang Jing didn't dare to be arbitrary, and he asked the eldest brother to decide how to send it. ”
Song Wan and Chen Da are corrupt, Shi Jin can understand, they are originally thieves with weak legal awareness, and it is simply whimsical to expect them to obey the law in a short period of time.
It is normal for them to be corrupt and take bribes, but Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen, and Wu Song are all involved, which makes Shi Jin really unacceptable.
Shi Jin put down the list in his hand, covered his forehead and asked, "What kind of corruption and bribery did Lin Chong, Wu Song, and Lu Zhishen commit?" ”
Jiang Jing hurriedly replied: "The leaders of Lu Zhishen and Wu Song are mainly greedy for cups, and after drinking all the wine assigned to them by the eldest brother, they often go directly to the wine cellar to get it. The steward of the wine cellar saw that it was Lu Zhishen and several of their leaders, and he didn't dare to stop them. ”
Shi Jin was relieved when he heard that Lu Zhishen was just stealing wine and drinking, and said, "It's just a few jars of wine, Brother Jiang is making a bit of a fuss!" ”
Jiang Jing shouted: "Big brother, the people above don't follow the rules and regulations, how can you expect the people below to obey them." Lu Zhishen and Wu Song went to get wine from the cellar at will. Several stewards of the wine cellar steal wine from the wine cellar and sell it. If the number is not right, they can all shift the responsibility to the leader, saying that the wine was taken by Lu Zhishen and them, how can Jiang Jing reconcile and verify the number, and how can he manage it? ”
Shi Jin heard it and thought about it, what Jiang Jing said made sense. This is really difficult to manage, but this is easy to do, and it will be enough to give Lu Zhishen a little more of their wine in the future.
Shi Jin said: "What else? ”
Jiang Jing continued: "There are also a few stewards of the Jinbaoshan Salt Workshop, who often treat Yang Chun with good wine and food. Yang Chun trusted them so much that he didn't ask about the workshop at all, and let a few of them be in charge of the workshop. In addition, Yang Chun's leader does not understand management, and he does not understand accounts, and the management of Jinbaoshan Salt Workshop is chaotic, and the accounts are unclear. It is impossible to know exactly how much was produced and how much was delivered. Jiang Jing only knew that several stewards of the workshop had joined forces to sell green salt privately. ”
"Ruan Xiaoer and Li Kui are leaders who love to gamble, and after losing all their money, they look for money everywhere, and they take a lot of gold and silver devices from the cottage."
"Lin Chong's leaders were bribe-takers, they were bought by Lu Zhishen and a few people, and they turned a blind eye to their affairs."
……
Hearing Jiang Jing tell the leaders and subordinates about corruption and bribery one by one, Shi Jin pressed his forehead, which had been beating, and took a deep breath.
The steward of the wine cellar and the steward of the Jinbaoshan Salt Workshop were all served by the family members of the original Shijiazhuang, Shi Jin felt that they were all old people of Shijiazhuang, and they had followed him for the longest time, which was more credible, so he let them hold important positions, and the monthly money was not low. I can't imagine that they will repay me like this, and I must punish them severely!
Shi Jin held back his anger and asked, "Then Brother Yuan, what are you talking about over there?" ”
Yuan Xuan also said at this time, "Big brother, in the investigation, it was also found that some leaders, soldiers, and the family members of the leaders used the name of Liangshan to bully and oppress the people outside, and looted and robbed. These people are kept in separate files and recorded. How to decide, please let the eldest brother decide. ”
If there are more lice, you are not afraid of itching, and if you have more debts, you are not afraid of worry!
Shi Jin asked, "Let's talk about it!" They've done something too! ”
Yuan Xuan arched his hand and said: "In addition to the corruption and bribery mentioned by Brother Jiang, Zhou Tong's father-in-law Liu Taigong and Hu Sanniang's father Hu Taigong used the name of Liangshan to buy and sell outside, and each occupied hundreds of acres of land. ”
"Some Liangshan soldiers secretly took green salt and liquor to resell, and some soldiers of the Liangshan Army often went to the village to steal chickens and dogs and eat overlord meals after coming down the mountain."
……
"The most serious thing is that there are 9 soldiers who *** a fisherman's daughter last month, because they were afraid of your punishment big brother, and in order to cover it up afterwards, they actually killed her whole family."
Hearing that his soldiers had done such evil things, Du Qian didn't pursue it, but also helped cover it up.
Shi Jin couldn't hold back any longer, and angrily slapped the case: "What are these things that are inferior to beasts still keeping for them, directly behead them for public!" Use their heads to warn everyone, dare to violate the law and discipline of my Liangshan, and they will be severely punished! ”
Yuan Xuan heard the arch and asked: "If you dare to ask the eldest brother, you will be severely punished!" Does it refer to the severe punishment of stewards and soldiers, or is it a severe punishment including many leaders? ”
Shi Jin immediately fell into deep thought after hearing Yuan Xuan's question.
Seeing the long names on the list, Shi Jin's head was numb for a while.
Shi Jin knew that there was a problem in Liangshan, so he invited Jiang Jing and Yuan Xuan to go up the mountain.
But Shi Jin just thought it was a small problem, as long as the two of them went up the mountain to rectify it, it would be fine.
But Shi Jin didn't expect that the problem would be so big and the management would be so chaotic.
There are 41 positions in Yangshan, but there are only 37 leaders stationed in Yangshan, and now there are 25 leaders, and more than half of the leaders are accused of corruption and bribery.
What to do, can they all be severely punished?
Many of these 25 leaders were important leaders in the army.
You must know that the punishment is severe, not that it is a punishment that lasts for a few days or months.
Severe punishment, that is direct punishment. Stabbing, scourging, sticking, caneing, beheading......
It is impossible to tattoo and behead, but whipping and cane can definitely make a person's skin open and flesh open, and he will not be able to get out of bed for several months. Many of them were even killed directly.
If all 25 leaders were severely punished, they would not be able to get out of bed for several months.
What if the officers and soldiers are killed at this time?
But if all of them are not severely punished, only the stewards and soldiers are severely punished, how can those stewards and soldiers be convinced.
Just like Jiang Jing said, the top is greedy, can you expect the bottom to be law-abiding, not greedy or ink?
What's more, the things committed by Lu Zhishen and Wu Song can be big or small, if they are severely punished like this, I am afraid that they will not be convinced.
If they are punished lightly, what will Li Kui and these people do?
Lu Zhishen and they stole wine, and Li Kui stole silver, the essence is the same.
If Lu Zhishen and Li Kui are not severely punished, then how can Yang Chun and Lin Chong be severely punished.
It's not like this, I returned to the same place, only severely punished my subordinates, and let go of the leader!
If they don't punish them, but just warn them, will they change them? How will Liangshan's discipline be maintained in the future?
More importantly, if a mountain is not well governed, will it be able to govern the world well in the future?
Shi Jin sighed and said: "If the law is not strict, it will not be cured, and if the order is not good, it will not be strict!" As long as you dare to violate the law and discipline of Liangshan, you will be severely punished! But ......"
