On September 12, in the early hours of the morning, the newspaper delivery car stopped at the newsstand at the intersection of Guoan Road and Minfu Road. 【High-quality updates】

"It seems to be a little early today!"

Gu Panfu, who was sleeping in the newsstand, listened to the sound outside the door, muttered in his heart, slowly put on his clothes, and opened the small iron door of the newsstand with a cane.

In China, the kiosks are a kind of welfare to some extent, especially these kiosks set up on the sidewalks of the main roads, in Nanjing and every city in China, the main street auxiliary street, often walking, you will see a well-decorated newspaper retail store, and it is regarded as a welfare, only because the vast majority of the vendors who operate the kiosk are retired soldiers, and they are disabled veterans, not everyone wants to live in the Invalides, especially for those soldiers who drag their families with their families, Finding a suitable job for these disabled soldiers has always been an important job for the government and even the royal family.

Eventually, the government opted for street kiosks, choosing to provide kiosks to disabled servicemen as a kind of placement, provided free of charge and tax-free.

And Gu Panfu is the second year of the empire, the first batch of disabled soldiers who obtained the newspaper kiosk, the income of the newspaper kiosk was not high at the beginning, and even if there was no 15 yuan per month paid by the royal family, it was difficult for him to maintain the life of his family even if he lived in the "Veterans Village", however, as the newspaper became more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, especially the years of literacy have enabled tens of millions of people to make literacy progress, and the Chinese people originally had the tradition and habit of reading, so many citizens went out in the morning, they first rushed to the newspaper kiosk to buy a newspaper, the time when they take the bus to work is their time to read the newspaper.

In the past five or six years, although Gu Panfu's newsstand is not located on the main road, but the location is not bad, it can sell 2,500 newspapers every morning, and the sales volume of various newspapers and periodicals throughout the day can reach 4,000 copies, plus dozens of packs of paper cigarettes can be sold every day, so his newsstand can earn more than 10 yuan or even 20 yuan every day, plus the rental of several advertising spaces in the newsstand, hundreds of yuan a month in Nanjing is also regarded as a "high-income group".

In contrast, the monthly royal family pays the "military favor"

For Gu Panfu, it is more of a symbol, a personal honor, so when he receives the "military gift" with his left hand every month, he donates the money to the Invalides and the bereaved family fund with his right hand, because he doesn't need that money.

For Gu Panfu, who had his left little foot amputated, it has never been an easy job to submit newspapers, each bundle of newspapers weighs dozens of catties, in the past, he once marched hundreds of miles with a machine gun, and now, moving these dozens of catties of stacks of newspapers has always been a heavy job, who let him have a leg that is not good.

From 4 o'clock in the morning until 5:30 o'clock, Gu Panfu was cleaning up the newsstand, opening the door, setting up the shelves, hanging newspapers, and stuffing newspapers, all the same as in the past, when he finished all the preparations, there were already some pedestrians on the street, selling newspapers for so many years, he knew that those who went out at this hour often did not buy newspapers, and the people who really bought newspapers were those civil servants and office workers, and the hour when they appeared on the street would be an hour later.

As a newspaper seller, he must know what big news there are in these newspapers, so that he can recommend the newspaper to the guests, and sometimes, some news will make him make up his mind to add newspapers, although he has been guarding such a newsstand over the years, he has accumulated nearly 20,000 yuan in savings, relying on this flexibility, one year, he sold 6,000 newspapers a day, just because of a big news above, but the kind of big news that he cares about, But not every day.

"It's still not big news!"

Muttering on his lips, Gu Panfu put away the "Qinhuai Morning News" in his hand, and then picked up a copy of "Jinling Times", but as soon as he opened it, his eyes opened violently, and he opened the newspaper violently, not even thinking about whether the newspaper could be sold, and looked at the front page news on the newspaper dumbfounded. "Ten thousand yuan kickback, the first case of corruption in the empire!"

Just looking at the title, Gu Panfu couldn't believe his eyes, embezzling tens of millions of yuan! Ge Laozi, who is so bold? Then he lowered his head and carefully looked at the contents of the newspaper, and then his whole person was completely in extreme shock, and finally looked at it, and even his cheeks trembled slightly, and the whole person was completely in extreme anger. ,

After reading the article on the huge corruption of the empire written by the reporter for "Shao Piaoping", Gu Panfu suddenly slapped the table excitedly and said loudly.

"It's really his grandmother's gang of national moths, people like this deserve to be pulled out and shot, no, it's too easy to shoot them, they should be pulled out..., Gu Panfu scolded indignantly, like many people, he also hates corrupt officials, whenever he sees that corrupt official in the newspaper being tried and sentenced to death, he will shout good, in his opinion, if those corrupt officials are not removed, His Majesty's country is afraid that they will be harmed.

As a retired veteran, Gu Panfu and many people with military experience, in his eyes, His Majesty is above all else, and for Gu Panfu, His Majesty is above everything else, the reason is very simple, after the implementation of the compulsory military service system, military families are exempt from agricultural taxes for life, which is late for him, five years ago when the military preferential treatment law was revised, he has already retired, but in his eyes, without His Majesty, there would be no him today, so His Majesty is above everything, then His Majesty's country is also above everything.

This is perhaps the biggest difference between the older generation of Imperial Guards and the younger generation of Imperial Guards, the older generation of Royal Guards is "fighting for Your Majesty", while the Guards are "fighting for the country", and it is precisely because of this that he has no good impression of many young soldiers, but fortunately, the army is still the royal army, and this is impossible to change.

And this will see that the country that has harmed His Majesty is also his country, and he has accepted bribes and solicited bribes of tens of millions of yuan, how can he not be angry.

"I'm punishing the nine tribes...... When he said it resentfully, Gu Panfu immediately realized that today's article was indeed angry to read, but today's article attracted attention, the first huge corruption case in the empire, and the report was so detailed, and there are photos to prove it, not to mention that this is still an exclusive report, which means that it ...... Gu Panfu suddenly made a bold decision, this newspaper might sell thousands of copies, and he hurriedly picked up his crutches and walked towards the public phone booth.

As soon as he turned around and left the community, Xu Chao took a big stride and walked along the sidewalk towards the bus stop, at this time there was no one on the street, Xu Chao worked in the Jinling Arsenal in the suburbs, the morning sun reflected on his face, as in the past, when approaching the bus stop, he came to a small newspaper kiosk at the intersection, bought a newspaper, he unfolded the weather forecast on the masthead, it was sunny today.

It seems that the temperature is a few degrees lower than the previous days, which makes him feel a lot more comfortable, he works in the foundry of the arsenal, he prefers winter to summer, a few degrees lower, it is better than a few degrees higher.

At this moment, the front page of this "Jinling Times" suddenly caught his eyes, just looking at the headline, not the content, which instantly made Xu Chao's mood a little gloomy.

…… Jinling Arsenal Expansion Procurement Case ...... Damn, the six-million-dollar machine actually received a kickback of half a million! ”

At this moment, he looked around, and most of the people around him were standing on the sidewalk with newspapers in hand, and their faces were full of resentment.

A few hours later, a shocking scandal spread throughout Nanjing.

People gathered around the newsstand and around the newspaper handout. The Jinling Times became the newspaper that everyone snapped up, and everyone was stunned by the report in the newspaper, and they would not have believed what they saw if it were not for the half-page photograph of the German telegram.

...,, Jinling Arsenal Phase II Expansion, Sanduao Naval Shipyard Phase III Expansion, Dalian Shipyard Phase II and Phase III Expansion, Anshan Iron and Steel Enterprise Consortium Phase I and Phase II, Jiangnan Nonferrous Metals Company Phase I, Dexian Arsenal Phase II Expansion, Dasheng Textile, Taihe Flour ......"

Almost every one of them has made them proud, on behalf of China's industrial progress of the enterprise machinery procurement has involved most of the power and money transactions, a huge kickback completely beyond their imagination, and what is more angry is that not only there are government-invested enterprises, including even private enterprises, just because they have the right to unified procurement, originally this kind of national unified procurement is to reduce procurement costs, to facilitate the introduction of technology, but now, it has become a tool for officials to seek private interests.

The amount involved in the case is as high as nearly 2 billion, and the kickbacks demanded are as high as more than 80 million, how can this not make people angry, almost instantly, everyone's anger was ignited.

"Let's go, go to the technical committee!" ,

"To Congress!"

The angry crowd shouted, one person, two people, thousands of angry people finally converged and walked towards the Parliament, which was already packed with protesters, and when they joined the young students, their words merged into one voice.

"Thoroughly investigate and ban unified procurement!"

"The cabinet has resigned!"

And at noon, the special number of Nanjing and almost every newspaper in China came out. When people learned about the amazing ** of the government procurement department, almost everyone was boiling in an instant. The press, which is more inclined to the Democratic Party and the Constitutionalism, pointed out directly on the sideline.

"This is just the iceberg! Guiding the economy government inevitably leads to extreme **! ”

The ice side is already so infuriating, but what is the truth? Naturally, the people's passions were even more intense in response to this assertion, and in the afternoon of the same day, the Prime Minister's official residence was filled with excitement among the people.

"Remove the moth! Also sweat f"

Angry roars echoed throughout China, and the populace was completely stunned and equally enraged by the huge kickbacks.
