Chapter 061: Differentiation and Disintegration
The day was no different from usual, still humid and foggy, still no surprises.
However, this day was a very special day for the people of Zhenfu Mansion, because the chief mayor, who had basically not shown much in the three months in office, actually came to work in the office building of Zhenfu Mansion.
"Chief!"
"Chief!
β¦β¦
Wang Mo walked all the way into the office building of Zhenfu Mansion with his personal guard Erhu, and all the officials and low-level clerks he met were startled at first, and then hurriedly bowed down to say hello.
As soon as Wang Mo walked into the director's office and closed the door, it was like an explosion outside, and people from all departments and places were talking about it.
Smart people who can see through the inside story understand that this is a signal, a signal that the calm pool of water in Zhenfu Mansion is about to be stirred. The upper and lower levels of the Zhenfu Mansion have their own plans, some seek stability and not be affected by the pond fish, some seek to protect vested interests, and some seek to hug their thighs, and those who have been soaring since then have been disturbed.
Wang Mo didn't pay attention to the thoughts of those people outside, and as soon as he walked into the governor's office and sat down, he instructed Erhu: "Erhu, you went to the Financial Secretary and brought the Financial Secretary Pang... Pang Hai, yes, it should be called Pang Hai, call him over, and ask him to bring the statistical table of the financial revenue and expenditure of the Zhenfu Mansion for the past three months. β
"Yes!" Wang Erhu answered, then opened the door and went out. Although he didn't know where the financial secretary was, he should be able to ask any staff member of the Zhenfu Mansion.
Wang Mo knows very well that if you want to control the Zhenfu Mansion, the most important thing is to control the financial power and personnel power. If it was a time of peace, he would have to go through some games, compromises and calculations, and then gradually take control of power. However, in this era when there is a gun and is the king of grass, although he can't rudely flip the existing cards in one breath, he doesn't have to be as troublesome as in peacetime. As long as he finds people who are willing to serve him and promotes them, purge those who are unwilling to obey orders and collude with the Elders' Association from the Zhenfu Mansion, and then select new people to fill the Zhenfu Mansion, then it will not be difficult to reshape a new Zhenfu Mansion that completely obeys his orders.
"Knock-knock-"
While thinking about it, there was a knock on the door, it should be the Financial Secretary Pang Hai coming over, so Wang Mo said: "Come in!" β
The door opened, and a big fat man who looked to weigh at least two hundred pounds walked in, with white skin, and it was obvious that this was a pampered person.
"Chief, this is the statistical table of the revenue and expenditure of the Zhenfu Mansion for the past three months." Pang Hai bowed down to say hello with a sneer, and then handed Wang Mo a document.
Wang Mo took the document, opened it and checked it, the more he looked at it, the more gloomy his face became, and a wave of anger exploded.
Syllable!
Wang Mo picked up the document and smashed it on Pang Hai's fat face, which was full of fat, and scolded angrily: "What kind of bullshit is this, there are less than a thousand oceans left in the entire Zhenfu Mansion treasury?" Who do you want to fool, Ge Laozi, really dare Lao Tzu not dare to kill? β
Pang Hai was a little cautious about wanting to get by, but where did he think that Wang Mo was going to shout and kill, so frightened that his legs weakened, and he knelt down on the spot, crying: "Chief, this is ...... This is really not a matter of despicability, there is really only so much money left in the treasury, and the lowly position is definitely not lying, if not, you can send someone to investigate. β
Wang Mo laughed angrily and scolded: "Bullshit, do you really think Lao Tzu is so foolish? Now the gold tax cards in eastern Sichuan have not been withdrawn, and there are a lot of taxes at the port, and the summer tax is also being collected, where is all this money? If you can't answer, I'll kill you for corruption right now! β
Syllable!
Wang Mo took out a shell gun and slapped it on the table, not hiding his killing intent at all. He was so angry that he wanted to kill someone, these bastards were so daring that they actually emptied the silver treasury of Zhenfu Mansion to less than a thousand oceans, which was simply unscrupulous.
Looking at the shell gun that shone with a metallic luster, as if the muzzle of the black hole would shoot a deadly bullet at him in the next moment, Pang Hai trembled with fright, and said in a trembling voice: "Total...... Chief, this is really none of my business, the collection of taxes is done in accordance with the old rules, and our financial secretary does not have much income at all, but the expenses are not small, and there is no money left in the account. β
"Rules, what rules, who set the rules?" Wang Mo asked sharply.
In the face of Wang Mo's sharp questioning, Pang Hai, who seemed to be timid and afraid of death, did not answer at this time, but just lowered his head and trembled.
"Say!" Wang Mo picked up the shell gun, walked over and put the muzzle of the gun against Pang Hai's head, and said in a sinister manner, "If you don't say it, Lao Tzu will plant a crime of assassinating the chief of this on your head now, and then correct you on the spot!" β
Really planted a charge of assassinating the chief on Pang Hai's head, although it is very ridiculous, but Pang Hai really has no room for resistance, he will die if he dies, and he can't make a wave in the Zhenfu Mansion at all.
"Don't, I say, I say!" Pang Hai shouted in fright, "This is Brother Pao's rules, which were set in the Shu Military Government in the past, and many of Brother Pao's 'public' businesses only need to pay a symbolic tax to the Zhenfu Mansion. There is also the centigold tax card, as well as the tax collectors who collect taxes below are all 'public' robes, and the taxes collected will be exploited by them layer by layer, and in the end, there is not much left in the hands of the Financial Secretary. β
"You're also a member of the Elders' Association, right, will you have your share?" Wang Mo sneered.
Pang Hai didn't dare to make a sound, but looking at his expression, it was obviously just as Wang Mo said.
Almost all the people in this Zhenfu Mansion are from the Elders' Association, and they can leave almost a thousand oceans on the public account as a faΓ§ade, these rats are already merciful, Wang Mo sneered in his heart.
"Pang Hai, to tell you the truth, from the moment you walk into this office, you only have two paths left to go." Wang Mo said coldly, "First, continue to collude with my fellow robes, fight me to the end, and then be arrested by me on charges of corruption or some trumped-up crimes, and finally go to the court with a bad name." β
Before Wang Mo could say the second article, Pang Hai hurriedly shouted: "The second one, I choose the second one, I will immediately dissociate myself from Renzitang, and from now on, only the commander's order will follow!" β
Pang Hai bowed his head so simply was beyond Wang Mo's expectations, originally thought that this guy would have to make a false accusation, and then find an opportunity to ask Renzitang for help. However, Pang Hai doesn't look like he is pretending to be like this now, if he is really pretending, then he is really at the level of an actor.
It seems that this Pang Hai probably joined the Elders' Association for the benefit of greedy ink, and he cannot be regarded as the real core figure of Renzitang.
Wang Mo thought for a while and said: "In that case, then I will give you half a month to rectify the Financial Secretary, remove those robed brothers who are dead set on the Elders' Association, let those robed brothers who follow the trend quit the Elders' Association, and completely cut off the influence of the Elders' Council on the Financial Secretary." When this is done, give me a list of all the people in the Financial Secretary with their details. β
Wang Mo didn't care if Pang Hai's allegiance just now was true or not, if it was true, then Wang Mo didn't mind giving him a chance. If it is fake and the Financial Department is not rectified according to Wang Mo's request, then Wang Mo is also very happy to have a chance to make an example of the monkey.
After Pang Hai left, Wang Mo summoned important officials from the other departments one after another. It's a pity that most people say clichΓ©s and empty words, and they seem to be obedient on the surface, but in fact, they are not like Pang Hai, who is timid and afraid of death, and bows down at the slightest intimidation.
This is normal, Wang Mo was not surprised. Although he very much hoped for a few more people like Pang Hai, it was obviously unlikely.
"Knock-knock-"
The knock on the door sounded again, but this time Wang Mo was a little strange, because all the people he wanted to summon had already been met, this should be an uninvited person, who could it be?
"Come in!"
As soon as Wang Mo finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and an officer in the uniform of the tax regiment walked in.
"Yu Chao, deputy chief of staff of the lowly tax regiment, see the chief of chief!" The officer's voice was loud, the standard of military salute was powerful, and a fierce military demeanor greeted him.
Deputy Chief of Staff of the Tax Corps? With such an identity, this person is somewhat interesting.
Wang Mo's eyes lit up and asked, "You came here, do you have something to report?" β
"I am here to report the situation of the tax group to the chief and ask the chief to completely rectify the tax group!" Yu Chao replied.
Although Yu Chao showed a tough and upright military demeanor, Wang Mo still saw the hot power in his eyes, and he was probably not a good bird.
"Rectify the tax corps? The tax regiment is doing well, and the officers and men at all levels are also doing their duty, what needs to be rectified? Wang Mo asked seriously.
Yu Chao looked stunned, obviously he didn't expect Wang Mo to say this, his previous momentum was suddenly reduced by half, and he said after a while: "Chief Executive, Cheng Feishi, the head of the tax group, is the elder brother of the Elders' Association, and many people up and down the tax group have also joined the Elders' Association's Yizitang, and they intercepted the tax money, making the entire tax group miserable. β
What made Yu Chao very strange and a little uneasy was that after hearing these words, Wang Mo did not become as angry as he imagined, but instead seemed to be unconcerned and said, "Oh, yes? Is the situation really so bad for the tax group? β
Yu Chaoqiang pressed the anxiety in his heart and replied: "The words of the humble position are true, and I will never dare to lie." β
Wang Mo glanced at Yu Chao deeply and asked, "So, Deputy Chief of Staff Yu, have you also joined the Elders' Association?" β
Hearing this question, Yu Chao didn't dare to look up at Wang Mo at all, and replied with no confidence: "Humble position...... They coerced them into their lowly positions, so they ...... I had to make a false promise and join the Elders' Association. β
"Enough!" Wang Mo shouted loudly, "Deputy Chief of Staff Yu, do you think that my knife is very sharp, and you want to borrow it to remove the obstacles to climbing up for you?" β
Yu Chao's hidden thoughts were broken by Wang Mo's shouting, and he almost didn't frighten his heart to stop, and some of the six gods said in a disdainful manner: "Humble duty...... Don't dare! β
"It's a good thing to be self-motivated, I've always liked self-motivated soldiers, but that doesn't mean I can tolerate what tricks the people below play on me, don't you understand?" Wang Mo said coldly.
"Humble duty understands!" Yu Chao's forehead was covered with cold sweat.
"Go back and reflect on it, I have my own arrangements for the tax group!" Wang Mo didn't say anything more, but gave an eviction order.
Although Wang Mo didn't say it, he actually planned to use this Yu Chao. The reason why I said that just now was just to knock Yu Chao, so as not to control this ambitious guy in the future.
