291 [Corruption Investigation]
Liang Qichao was buried half a month later. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Streets of Tianjin.
A group of young men with red armbands, like hunting dogs searching for prey, immediately rushed up and smashed the door when they saw the shop in question.
"Bang bang!"
"Open the door, open the door! If you don't open the door, you will close the shop! ”
I knocked on the door for several minutes, but there was still no answer, because the boss, the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper all went home for the New Year.
The leader angrily ordered: "Affix the seal!" Go to the next one. ”
One young man carried a small bucket full of paste and dipped a brush in the paste and applied it to the door, while the other young man took out a seal and pasted it, and the seal was signed to the Tianjin Party Department of the Kuomintang.
After the seals were affixed, the men immediately rushed to the next one, knocked a few times, and finally knocked on the door of the store.
"What's the matter? It's early in the morning. The shopkeeper rubbed his sleepy eyes and opened the door and asked, "Who are you?" ”
A young man replied: "Kuomintang Tianjin Party Action Team, this is our Captain Liu!" ”
Captain Liu asked: "The government has repeatedly ordered that there will be no holidays during the Spring Festival, and all shops must be open. Why don't you enforce it? ”
"Spring Festival? Oh, you said New Year's. The shopkeeper finally reacted.
Before the Republic of China, there was no such thing as the Spring Festival.
After Yuan Shikai came to power, he moved the New Year's Day (the first day of the new year) to January 1 of the Western calendar, resulting in the traditional New Year's Day of the Chinese without an official name. In order to take care of the feelings of the Chinese people, the government coined the term "Spring Festival".
But the "Spring Festival" is not popular, and many Chinese people don't know what the "Spring Festival" is.
It was not until this year that the Nanjing Nationalist Government made the beginning of the Lunar New Year the "Spring Festival" in the form of law, which made the Spring Festival have an official endorsement and was gradually accepted by the Chinese people.
This is the first Spring Festival after the Nanjing government "unified" the country, and the implementation is very strong, and it is mandatory that all shops are not allowed to close for holidays, otherwise they will be severely punished.
Captain Liu read out the government regulations and said to the shopkeeper: "Your store violates the policy and is fined 50 yuan, call your boss or shopkeeper quickly!" ”
The shopkeeper was also a clever ghost, and he rolled his eyes and complained, "Alas, sir, our shopkeeper's illness has made me open the shop on time today." You see I'm just snooze, I've delayed all the big things, I'll open the door right away, right away. ”
"Don't quibble with me, pay the fine quickly!" Captain Liu said sharply.
The shopkeeper defended: "The government only stipulates that it will be open for business during the Chinese New Year, and it doesn't say what time it will open." I just woke up late and opened the store right away. ”
In any case, this explanation is very reasonable, and it can be regarded as a loophole in the policy.
But now is not a reasonable time, Captain Liu is too lazy to speak, and said directly: "Arrest and contact their boss." Refuse to pay the fine, resist the central government's decree, and impose an additional fine of 20 oceans! ”
"Sir, you're wronged!" The shopkeeper shouted loudly, but was indiscriminately dragged away by the Tianjin Party Action Team.
Zhou Hexuan sat in the car, and could only shake his head and sigh when he saw this scene, the Republic of China era was too westernized, and it seemed that all traditional customs were backward and decadent.
Take Chinese etiquette as an example, the abolition of kneeling is naturally justifiable, and what makes people laugh and cry is that even the ritual has been abolished. The salute is equivalent to the Chinese handshake ceremony, what is there to abolish this? I haven't seen the Japanese abolish the bowing ceremony.
The government is a little too lenient.
Government officials are not allowed to call each other "characters" or "numbers," but must call each other their positions. People are commonly called "sir" or "jun", and within the group they are called "comrade", and women are called "madam", "lady", and "miss".
Rotten titles such as lord, lord, and master are abolished.
Of course, this kind of regulation is not strictly controlled, and even Yuan Shikai and Chang Kaishen call each other by their names.
The car continued to move forward and stopped at the entrance of the Ta Kung Pao newspaper office.
Zhou Hexuan took Liao Yaquan to personally distribute Spring Festival condolences to the members, and as for the China Radio Station, Zhang Leyi handled it.
"Happy Chinese New Year!"
"Wishing you prosperity!"
Everyone greeted each other happily, although there was no holiday for the New Year, but they were also full of joy.
However, some people were angry, Zhu Xiang came to the newspaper in the middle of the morning and said to Zhou Hexuan: "I hope that the corruption case of the education fund has been investigated. ”
"What's going on?" Zhou Hexuan asked.
Zhu Xiang said with a cold face: "Those people are very secretive, I hired an old account office, a Western-style accountant, and checked it for 4 months, and found that there was no problem with the account book at all." Guess how these moths are corrupt? ”
Zhou Hexuan smiled and asked, "Let's talk about it." ”
Zhu Xiang said: "They colluded with businessmen to build school buildings, buy teaching supplies, and buy nutritious lunch ingredients, and falsely reported high prices. Not only that, but they also fabricated the number of teaching staff and relied on empty salaries to make money. In the past few months, I have visited 62 Hope Primary Schools and found that as many as 87 teachers were fake. In addition, they also arranged for relatives and friends to serve as vice principals of the newly built schools, but these vice principals did not have to work and received empty salaries. According to my rough statistics, there was at least 180,000 yuan last year, which is an unreasonable expenditure. Although Vice President Wenxiu has been running to raise funds in many ways, he can't withstand the consumption of those moths, and now the funds of the Hope Education Foundation are only more than 63,000 yuan. ”
Zhou Hexuan asked: "What do you think should be done?" ”
Zhu Xiang's eyes showed a ruthless brilliance, and he said: "Report to the official to prosecute, I hope that the secretary general of the fund committee will not be able to escape the blame, and he will have to squat for at least 20 years in prison." There are also those responsible for procurement and personnel arrangement, all of whom must be severely punished! All those involved will be given a warning, and those who will automatically return the stolen money will be deducted from their salaries for half a year. Unconsciously handed over to the court for processing! ”
"How many people are involved?" Zhou Hexuan asked again.
Zhu Xiang said: "The main beneficiaries are those of the committee. But there are at least 40 people who have benefited from it! ”
Zhou Hexuan frowned, throwing away all kinds of temporary workers, and the total number of regular employees of the Hope Education Foundation was less than 70. If Zhu Xiang's approach is followed, then the Foundation will definitely be paralyzed, and it will not be able to operate normally in the short term.
"Let's catch the big and let go of the small," Zhou Hexuan sighed, "As long as the masterminds actively return the money, don't report to the official again." If the matter is big, it will damage the reputation of the Hope Education Foundation, and it will not look good on Zhang Shaoshuai's side. ”
"President Zhou, you have disappointed me so much!"
Zhu Xiang couldn't rub the sand in his eyes, and he was angry: "This is a donation from the people, and every penny must be used on the right path." Those embezzlers are hateful, but what are you doing is not favoritism? As long as I am a supervisor of the foundation, this matter must be severely punished. Even if you remove me from my post, I have evidence of their corruption in my hands, and I will report and disclose it in my personal name! ”
Zhou Hexuan finally knew why Zhu Xiang offended people everywhere he went in history, and finally became poor and his wife was separated, and he committed suicide in grief with two poetry books in his hand.
This gentleman does not pay attention to human feelings at all, and only recognizes the word "reason".
But the problem is that sometimes it is a mistake to only talk about the law and ignore the overall situation.
Zhou Hexuan is now being roasted on the fire by Zhu Xiang, and there is no way out at all, so he can only say helplessly: "Do it according to your ideas, try to be gentle." On the young marshal's side, I will send a telegram explaining the situation, after all, they are all his cronies. ”
