Chapter 875: The Most Enjoyable Thing in the World
Chen Ming listened to the joint investigation report from the Economic Crime Investigation Department and the Supervision Yuan in the Qianqing Palace with a gloomy face! For more than a month, everything was investigated clearly. They have imperial power on their heads to rely on, and any bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods are all vulnerable.
The prosperity of the economy and strict laws have given birth to a gray area in China, and although more and more 'eyes' have noticed it in recent years, they are not Hongguoguo's crimes, although they are indeed a real transaction, or a very hidden crime, but they have exploited the loopholes of the law.
This kind of 'transaction' not only appears on the way of the merchant and maritime officials, but also quietly appears in the finalization of the purchase order for the munitions purchase. The meat of the Wehrmacht is too fat and too fat, especially after the various processing plants operated by the logistics system itself have been slowly sorted out and stripped off, and every year orders for military rations, clothing, quilts, military boots and other military supplies worth tens of millions of dollars are spilled. I don't know how many manufacturers have fed for China!
This is not to say that the survival of these manufacturers all depends on the orders of the logistics department, but to say that these orders are like a golden signboard for these manufacturers, shining brightly, eye-catching, and trustworthy.
The fact that the military buys their products shows that the quality of the products of these manufacturers is excellent. Isn't that a golden sign for these manufacturers? It's no wonder that the factory bosses who were killed by the logistics department hate the culprit so much, this is to smash their signboards, and by the way, they also smashed their jobs.
The signboards are rotten!
The factory was removed from the material procurement list by the logistics department, and there must be a reason. Many people's first reaction is that there must be something wrong with the quality of the product. Ordinary people would not think that even if there is a problem with the products of this factory, the product quality is likely to be higher than that of those factories and enterprises that have not been selected for the material procurement list of the logistics department at all.
They will only hastily label the factory as an 'inferior product'. Because there was a big problem with the dry food for the military, now the whole country knows about it. The common people themselves and society look at these people with a pair of colored glasses in their 'eyes'.
This is a disaster for the factory owners who have been 'expelled', and it is better that they are not selected for the logistics department's material procurement list at all.
Just because a person who quietly reached out to the army's logistics supply and demand system was caught in a sore foot, and then 'everything' was overturned by the emperor.
"According to the investigation of the Supervision Yuan and the Economic Crime Investigation Department, a total of 57 people in the Logistics Department were guilty of dereliction of duty and 25 were guilty of criminal acts, and six of them directly or indirectly contributed to the launch of the military rations incident in the northwest. These people involved a total of 210 factories and enterprises, and a total of 165 legal representatives and employees of the enterprises who committed criminal acts. "Of course, this cannot be the total number of problematic officials in the entire logistics department, but only the problematic officials who have been found out and found out in the turmoil caused by this incident.
Among these people, most of them do things superficially, and because of this, they saw the clues, and then they were sorted out, and those really scheming and cunning guys, I am afraid that none of them have been detected.
Although the case was jointly handled by the Supervision Yuan and the Economic Crime Investigation Division, the time was too short and the investigation area was so large that it could only sweep through a layer of water, and there would be no deeper problems at all.
In later generations, many ordinary people will ask, why wait until the matter breaks out, the situation is serious, and the judicial organs and higher departments will appear? Why did they go earlier?
Seriously, it's not without reason.
It's just that Chen Han in this era is not as good as the great heaven and dynasty of the 21st century, isn't it? There were a lot of officials at that time. Even though Chen Han is famous for having many officials and yamen in all Chinese dynasties, he still can't compare with the rabbit of the 21st century.
Chen Ming closed his eyes and listened quietly: "What about the other nineteen?" ”
"The crimes of these 19 people are high and low, mainly involving carding, taking, demanding, and demanding. There are also people who buy all kinds of low-value war materials, such as food, clothing, and shoes, at low prices in the name of 'expired and damaged', and then transport them to other places through merchants to make huge profits. They also had the factory owners go to their designated shops to buy raw materials, which were not much more expensive than other trades, but the price was profitable in itself. ”
Liu Wenwei did not hide it at all, and reported to Chen Ming all the situations implemented by the Supervision Yuan and the Economic Crime Investigation Department.
"Your Majesty, the most serious thing is that these people have played a very bad role in the logistics department. Of the 25 convicts who were verified, it is reported that 15 of them made gestures to their superiors and subordinates and low-level officials. Of the 57 dereliction of duty, 22 were colleagues or superiors of the 15 convicts. However, in our investigation, we have not found any high-ranking officials from the logistics department involved, and there are quite a few businessmen......"
Chen Ming closed his eyes and sneered when he heard this, businessman! That's a bunch of mercenary people! Don't look at it in this life, he has always vigorously encouraged industry and commerce, but Chen Ming can't believe the moral conduct of businessmen. It is undeniable that some of these people are very patriotic and very righteous and different, but compared with the number of large and small businessmen, it is undoubtedly a small disgrace in the merchant class!
Chen Ming has a lot of 'good people' in his mind, such as Huo Yingdong, but there are also 'bad people', just like Wang Kangnian, who made himself synonymous with illegal businessmen in New China when the rabbit was just sitting on the throne, when North Korea was fighting with a group of countries led by the bald eagle.
Hehe, the 'harm' of the latter is still fresh in people's memories. In particular, this batch of military rations incident gave Chen Ming the same impression as what Wang Bufa did back then.
Of course, fifty or sixty years after Wang Kangnian's death, some people began to overturn Wang Kangnian's case by taking advantage of the frenzy on the Internet to deny 'Chinese heroes' and overturn the case of 'historical sinners'.
There was also a Wang Kangnian's brother Wang Kangda.
The truth of the mouth, but apart from the author's mouth, there seems to be no evidence to be seen.
It is an obvious fact that the butt of the pen is completely the opposite of the rabbit.
I just don't know if the current profiteer has fallen, will someone come to overturn the case for him in a hundred years?
It's a pity that the rabbit's propaganda mouth, the war years' rhetoric; When it comes to reopening, it will become a war scumbag.
"Moreover, although some officials did not take kickbacks in the procurement process, there were many cases of entering brothels, restaurants and other places with those suppliers." Xiao Jian, director of the Economic Crime Investigation Division, then said to Chen Ming.
It is clear that these people are already standing at the water's edge, on the verge of making mistakes, and if their will is weak, that person is finished.
Chen Ming closed his eyes and thought for a while, and after a long time, he slowly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Is anyone in the government department involved in this matter?!" ”
Xiao Jian and Liu Wenwei immediately shook their heads at Chen Ming. The two of them have long been familiar with this matter, and there is no need to turn over the case at all.
As far as the information they have now, it is true that there are no government officials involved in this case.
Chen Ming showed a smile on his face that was quite gratifying, but his face was serious and abnormal in a blink of an eye.
"My attitude has not changed, I will investigate to the end and deal with it strictly. No matter who commits the crime, it will not be tolerated. Do not be burdened with your hearts. ”
The logistics department is a yamen where the children of the three surnames gather, and this matter cannot be found on the children of the three surnames, but it will definitely implicate their personal network.
"Yes!!" Liu Wenwei and Xiao Jian should be loud! After putting down the two files, he turned around and slowly left the Qianqing Palace.
This time, Chen Ming is going to see blood again.
A profiteer pulled out a string of damn things, executed them collectively, and woke up the government and the opposition. Thinking about it carefully, Chen Ming felt that this was still very necessary.
It's like a 'rectification' campaign, once in a few years. Use bright red blood to give people all over the world a wake-up call.
In China's 2,000-year-old feudal style, including the time when the ancestral dragon was beaten back for thousands of years, this corrupt official could not be killed endlessly.
Chen Ming once asked Ji Xiaolan this question, because this famous figure in the 21st century is not very incorruptible himself.
Ji Xiaolan told Chen Ming a story, and Chen Ming's question was answered by him through this little story.
The founder of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and a great fierce man of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Yu Wentai, according to legend, visited the world's talents in his early years for the unification of the world, and one day met Su Xuan, who was known as the talent of Zhuge and asked him for advice on how to govern the country. The two hit it off at first sight, and talked secretly for three days and three nights, but Yuwentai didn't get tired of it.
Yuwentai asked Su Sui: "Why is the country established?" ”
Su Sui replied: "Gu Guan." ”
Yu Wentai asked: "How to be an official?" ”
Su Sui replied: "Use corrupt officials, anti-corrupt officials." ”
Yu Wentai wondered: "Why use corrupt officials? ”
Su Sui replied: "Whether you fight the country or sit on the country, you need your subordinates to work hard for you, but you must have benefits to let others work hard, you don't have so much money, so you have to give the right, let him use the power to loot the people's fat and people's ointment, won't he get benefits?" ”
Yu Wentai asked again: "If the corrupt officials get benefits, what benefits do I have?" "There are corrupt officials everywhere, and the common people will scold their mothers, and they will also rise up.
Su Sui replied: "They can get benefits because of the rights you give, in order to keep their own benefits, they will desperately defend your rights, with a group of officials who defend your rights, won't your country be consolidated?" ”
Yu Wentai asked again: "Since I have already used corrupt officials, why should I oppose it?" ”
Su replied: "This is the essence of the imperial power technique. You have to use both corrupt officials and anti-corrupt officials. You see, how can there be an official in this world who is not greedy? Officials are not afraid of greed, but they are afraid of not listening to you. In the name of anti-corruption, eliminate corrupt officials who do not listen to you, and retain corrupt officials who are obedient. This will eliminate dissent and consolidate your power; Moreover, although corrupt officials are loyal to you, their reputation among the people must be very bad, and your anti-corruption officials have been recognized by the people and gained a good reputation.
You can put bad things and responsibilities on them, and let the people know that there are so many problems in society not because you don't want to do a good job, but because the officials below are not doing a good job of implementing your policies. Killing those officials who have too much resentment will win a lot of popular support. At the same time, you can also put the scavenging fat and ointment into your own pockets to enrich your financial resources.
And if all you use are clean officials, these people are deeply supported by the people, but if they are disobedient, what excuse do you have to get rid of them? Forcibly removing them can even lead to public unrest.
A disobedient clean official is not as good as a corrupt official.
In the end, you can also use this to tell the corrupt officials that their handles are in your hands, and you can use them to make them enjoy wealth and prosperity, or you can kill them so that they will never be able to turn over. How could they betray you so easily? ”
Yuwentai listened to the empowerment, and after ten years of hard work, he finally became a hegemon.
Of course, the history books only record that the two had a long conversation all night but there is no dialogue content, and even Chen Ming doesn't know whether this little story is from which book Ji Xiaolan saw it, or if it is a fake text that he would compile himself. But it's a really good story.
This is a microcosm of the way of Chinese emperors from one side.
However, Chen Ming thought about it later, this is not the earliest good story. More than 700 years ago when Yu Wentai and Su Sui had a conversation, Xiao He also had a thick and black conversation with the doorman. The rumors of Xiao He's self-defilement are an excellent performance of the officials themselves in feudal history.
However, Chen Ming did not take the road of 'Yuwentai'.
Because the China he wants to create is a new China that is different from all previous dynasties.
But he wants to sit in Liu Bang's position, and he really can't be indifferent to Xiao He before he blackened himself. It's not that Liu Laosan is not atmospheric enough, but he really can't help himself.
According to that pretend, corruption is a necessary means to maintain the country; Anti-corruption is also a necessary part of the performance to safeguard the country.
Chen Ming didn't want to go down that road again, there were so many big cases in the 21st century, and many people were indignant and asked why they hadn't found these corrupt officials for so many years, and who promoted the corrupt officials in the early years? Chen Ming, the little grassroots of the year, was also one of them.
And now that he is in charge, he has come up with the constraints of the 'shackles' such as the accountability system and the property disclosure system, hoping to prevent the 'recurrence' of this phenomenon as much as possible. But in today's society, it may really not be enough to kill corrupt officials.
Seriously, Chen Ming is more grateful to that 'profiteer'. If he hadn't ignited this powder keg and exploded everything, Chen Ming really wouldn't have put his energy into this.
There are too many things for him to pay attention to, such as the inauguration of the vassal king, which is about to begin.
Chen Ming didn't notice anything about the logistics department at all.
This time something happened, and Chen Quan asked for punishment. But that's a lot smaller than his 'gains'.
If there is a problem in the logistics department itself, there will not be only 25 officials who have committed crimes, there will not be only 57 officials who have committed dereliction of duty, and there will be more than 200 enterprises and factories involved in the case......
……
"Your Majesty......"
A pair of small hands slowly rubbed on Chen Ming's temples, the back of his head rested on a pair of magnificent peaks of the Virgin, and his nose was filled with a dark fragrance.
This is Concubine Jing's compatriot, the title is Concubine Yi, what the name is, Chen Ming can't remember it a little. The name of the Kazakh ethnic group is a bit tongue-twisting.
Chen Ming is still a little greedy for color, and after the Qianqing Palace dealt with the political affairs, people slipped here unconsciously.
The young woman with a style very different from that of a woman in the Central Plains between her eyebrows didn't say a word, letting Chen Ming's upper body lie in her arms, and massaging Chen Ming with her hands unchanged.
Young women may indeed be the coveted place of the old emperor, not only because the latter is young and beautiful, but also because of a kind of vitality.
A woman so energetic is deeply dependent on herself, which will make the old emperor feel that he is still young in his body and mind.
……
On the Kazakh steppes. Concubine Jing and Concubine Yi's hometown.
In the bitter wind, a long line of prisoners of war formed a four-way column, moving step by step towards a destination that seemed to be forever out of reach. Their eyes were glazed and lifeless, and many of them had smoky marks on their faces, or simply bayonet scars. Although they had no restraints on them, they were as obedient as sheep.
However, the Kazakh cavalry on both sides did not become lazy, and they rode on horseback, walking back and forth around the long line of captives, occasionally whipping the slow-walking guys, and reprimanding:
"Hurry up, you filthy things, there is no supply station ahead, and if you can't get to the ground today, you will all have to camp in the wilderness and freeze to death you damned captives!"
It's late autumn in August, and the temperature in the Kazakh steppes can be as low as freezing at night. For these Russian prisoners of war, who had only a tattered blanket in their hands, or simply a small piece cut from the tattered canvas of their tent, camping in the wilderness was really difficult.
The rebuke was often accompanied by a whip or a gun, and then the whole team was driven a little faster, but then slowly slowed down until the next round of reprimands and whippings came......
Finally, after a bad mood of a small Kazakh nobleman waved another whip at a few Russian prisoners of war, the speed of the captives finally increased.
These Kazakhs, who were bullied and bullied by the Russians in the past, are now turning over and becoming masters.
Escorting the captives to Lake Balkhash was a long, long distance and a very hard errand. But many Kazakhs aspire to be part of the escort force, because it will greatly satisfy their pride.
What could make them raise their eyebrows more than escorting the Russians who had ridden over their heads in the past?
The old man of yesteryear, the prisoner of today; A former subordinate, today's jailer. There is nothing more enjoyable in the world than this.
