Chapter 230 Logistics Department and Equipment Department (Middle)
immediately heard Li Junxian's call, and also heard that Li Junxian was angry, and immediately thought in his heart, I don't know why Li Junxian is angry.
"General Li, I'm here!" Ma Zhou said.
Li Junxian pointed at the lewd man and said, "This is the official of the logistics department you chose?" I don't say much when I sleep at work, but I'm actually a person who studied scriptures? Also, what did he say about learning arithmetic to be a slut, and what was going on with this. ”
"General Li, shouldn't we first reuse those who study scripture and poetry? This is also a tradition of the imperial court! Ma Zhou said.
Li Junxian immediately said coldly: "Ma Zhou, what is your identity now?" ”
"Minister of Political Affairs of the Special Guard." Ma Zhou replied.
"Ma Zhou, you remember to me that he is now a soldier, not a civil official of the imperial court. Don't tell me about the bad habits of the civil servants of the imperial court. What reuses scriptures and poetry, you don't need to say. Menstrual blood and poetry are not used in our place. What we are looking at here is the actual ability, not some imaginary sage doctrine. We're going to hurry up and build this shelf now, but you've built it for me like this, how can you let me say hello! The officials of the logistics department are actually selected from among the people who have studied the scriptures, and the arithmetic talents who are really good at managing logistics work can only be blamed at the bottom. Now it's good, the layman manages the insider. I won't say anything if he has military merits, or many years of management experience, but what do you mean? Ma Zhou, if you can't put yourself in the right position and think of yourself as an officer, you shouldn't come here. Li Junxian said in a very cold tone.
Ma Zhou knew this time that Li Junxian was probably really angry. Ma Zhou was originally a scholar, but he still brought the habits of those civil officials, such as attaching importance to scripture and poetry, so when selecting and employing people, he also followed the habits of civil officials and attached importance to those talents who studied scriptures and poetry. But now Li Junxian actually belittled those talents who were educated in scripture and poetry to worthlessness. So Ma Zhou was also a little anxious. I finally found an opportunity to be an official, if I was driven away, I am afraid that Ma Zhou will become a laughing stock, and no one will pay attention to him anymore.
"General Li, I'll correct it right away." Ma Zhou said.
Li Junxian looked at the four guys and said, "I'm going to audit your management situation soon, and it's best not to let me find any problems, otherwise I'll be finished with you." ”
Soon, Li Junxian borrowed a few account offices from those merchants in Chang'an City, explaining that he wanted to audit these financial problems. The logistics department can be a fat gap. Li Junxian didn't dare to guarantee that these guys would not reach out in this. Li Junxian knows that China's corrupt officials are very bold, no matter how much the emperor kills corrupt officials, corrupt officials keep appearing. This illustrates how serious corruption is in China.
"My lord, the Quartermaster Department has a loophole in the three money. The money was divided into dozens of batches from the adult's hand, and then transferred out. Moreover, these are those kickbacks for the procurement of munitions. The bookkeeper said.
Li Junxian suddenly looked at the lewd man and said, "I'm really blind, I didn't expect you to be proficient in this?" Although you are a student of the scriptures, your ability to learn is also good! I've heard about it. Every corrupt official has good arithmetic ability. I feel a little helpless, why do those corrupt officials use their talents where they shouldn't? ”
"Ma Zhou, according to the military law of our special guard, what should be done?" Li Junxian asked.
Ma Zhou said with some hesitation: "General Li." According to the Tang law of the imperial court, officials who embezzle thirty silks, that is, about five yuan of money, will be sentenced to death. ”
"That's right! My lord. You can't kill me! I just took a mere three pieces of money, you can't kill me, otherwise it won't be in line with the rules of the court. The lewd man said
"I'm asking about the military law of our special guard!" Li Junxian continued.
"My special guard's military law. According to General Li's order, embezzlement of 500 wen will be punished by death. Ma Zhou said.
"Do you need to talk about that?" Li Junxian asked.
"General Li, the standards of the imperial court are wider!" Ma Zhou said.
"That's right! I can't meet the standard of the death penalty in the imperial court! ”
The lewd man wanted to save his life, so he immediately used the laws of Datang to talk about things.
"We are here for the Special Guard, and since we have customized military law, we must enforce it. If not, what is there to do? Ma Zhou, as the political minister, you have already made mistakes twice, you temporarily suspend your post and go back to reflect for 15 days to see the after-effects. Your duties are under the personal supervision of General Du Junhui for the time being. Li Junxian said coldly.
Ma Zhou's face was as pale as earth, and he knew that his status in Li Junxian's eyes might have declined a little. Li Junxian asked him to stop his post for 15 days to reflect, and he did not completely remove him from his post, which shows that it can still be recovered. Ma Zhou didn't dare to intercede for this guy now, he was afraid that he would have to fold in. There is no need for Ma Zhou to jeopardize his future for the sake of a corrupt official.
"Pull him down and behead him in front of the whole army." Li Junxian said to the casual guards.
The guy was quickly pulled down and was about to be beheaded in public.
"Li Junxian, I'm going to sue you! Sue you! The lewd man shouted unconvinced.
Li Junxian is sure that even if his family goes to sue, Li Shimin will definitely not make decisions for him. Because what Li Shimin hated most was corrupt officials, the anti-corruption campaign in the Tang Dynasty began with Li Shimin, and many anti-corruption rules were formulated by Li Shimin himself. Therefore, if a corrupt official wants to overturn the case, it is very difficult for Li Shimin.
"Remember, this is the army, and military law is practiced! Military law can only be stricter than official law, and it can never be looser than official law! Li Junxian said.
"General Li, we remember!" The officials of the logistics department replied one after another, if you don't remember it, you can't do it, otherwise I'm afraid that the next person to lose your head will be yourself.
Everyone was shocked, because this was the only time that they embezzled three times, and the future generations were only more than 10,000. But the three pieces of money were beheaded, and this one was too heavy. However, Li Junxian just wants to use severe punishment to enforce it, otherwise I am afraid that he will not be able to stop this unhealthy trend in the future. And this also sounded a wake-up call for the people in the logistics department, because Li Junxian can kill people. For this matter, even Ma Zhou, the fourth-in-command in the army, was suspended from his post for fifteen days to reflect, and everyone was shocked. (To be continued......)
