Chapter 236: Bloody Storm
Lin Zhe was a little surprised that Shen Jingshan was able to start acting so quickly, it was obvious that his previous beating had an effect, but as the helmsman of the empire, Lin Zhe was sensitive to the fact that this time Shen Jingshan's official rectification seemed to be suspected of being too large.
"After the launch in major cities such as Beijing, the Business Zone, Hangzhou, and Suzhou, we will continue to send inspection teams to supervise the grassroots officials in various provinces one by one!" Shen Jingshan continued.
At the same time, he also handed Lin Zhe some reports on Zhenjiang, Lin Zhe looked at the names in the report, and frowned slightly: There is a list of corruption, dereliction of duty, and there are twenty or thirty people on active duty, and the prefect, Tongzhi, and county officials are all on the list!
No wonder Shen Jingshan wants to start the pilot project on the Zhenjiang side, it turns out that the government of the Zhenjiang side has been corrupted to such an extent!
It's just that Lin Zhe also wondered, it hasn't been long since he called himself the emperor, it's less than a year, and it's only been half a year to control Zhenjiang, and the officials on the other side of Zhenjiang have fallen to this point in this half a year?
Could it be that they think that after corruption, they can rest easy? Do you really think you don't know?
For some corrupt behaviors in the officialdom, Lin Zhe has always known about the abuse of power for personal gain, and has been psychologically prepared for this, as the saying goes, if the water is clear, there is no fish, and there is no futile person to observe, he Lin Zhe wants to rise, to rule the country, he can't do it alone, and he has to pull a large number of people.
And these people around them may be because they want to win the wealth of the founding heroes, and some want to keep their current power, especially most of these demoted officials have one kind or another heart. Except for a very small number of people who really want the prosperity of the country and the nation, in fact, most of the people who do it are still surrounded by various interests.
And almost completely accepted the officialdom of the entire Manchu Qing and Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions. Lin Zhe had already expected that the quality of these officials would be very poor, and he accepted some gifts from the officials on weekdays. He also turned a blind eye to using the power in his hands to enrich his own pockets and subsidize his family.
As long as it's not too excessive, Lin Zhe mostly ignores it!
But this does not mean that he has large-scale and heinous corruption, and now looking at this list, almost all the middle and senior officials in Zhenjiang Mansion are occupied, Lin Zhe is in a bad mood.
One person can bear it if he is greedy, but a group of people can't bear it if he is greedy!
immediately closed the report, and then said: "Since the Inspectorate has a strategy, then let's do it!" ”
After speaking. He was still afraid that Shen Jingshan would not be able to accurately understand what he meant, so this time he spoke more bluntly: "This time to investigate, the action must be fast, the start must be accurate, and at the same time, we must also pay attention to the impact, try to deal with it in a low-key manner, and focus on the overall situation!" ”
When Shen Jingshan heard this, he was also a little shocked, listening to the emperor's words. It seems that it is necessary to investigate thoroughly to the end, but at the same time, it is necessary to keep a low profile and focus on the overall situation, which means that it is necessary to conduct a thorough investigation without causing a shock in the officialdom.
This made Shen Jingshan a little embarrassed!
How can the impact of rectifying the rule of officials be small. This kind of thing is either vague, or it is completely bloody, maybe for the common people, it is just a certain official. If you go into the field or be transferred, you can't see the bloody wind and rain inside. But for the inside of the officialdom, it was a violent shock, and it was not low-key at all.
After letting Shen Jingshan go out. Lin Zhe did not meet with another person as soon as he had done before, but asked the secretariat to wait for half an hour before calling in an official who had come to report on his work.
Getting up from the chair, he walked to the window with his back on his back, outside the window is still that empty flat land, the east side seems to have begun to pave the turf, and on both sides of the road in the middle of the square, various carvings have been erected, and the 'Zhonghua Gate' at the end of the road has also seen the prototype, and the Xinhua Hall in the right-hand direction has completed the foundation construction, and the construction of the main wall is currently underway.
In the near future, a palace full of modern atmosphere will be erected here, and the square in front of the palace, when a major celebration is held, rows of soldiers will step forward in a neat pace, and at that time, the scene should be more spectacular than the military parade in the Dingdu ceremony!
Lin Zhe thought that at the military parade in the future, he galloped on horseback, and listened to the soldiers shouting the slogan of 'Chinese Empire, invincible' over and over again.
Thinking that it is possible for him to unify China in the future, and then lead this ancient country and nation to modernization, so that the whole nation can enter the modern civilized society, after a few years, countless people will shout at themselves, and their names will firmly occupy the most important page in the history books!
What could be more exciting in a short life than that kind of scene?
People have pursuits, cultivators try to become immortals and become Buddhas, the people of Li want to have better food and clothing, those who are officials must be extremely popular, and those with good names must have a clear name.
And for Lin Zhe, who has ascended the throne as an emperor and stands at the top of the pyramid of the power society, his pursuit is a little different from others!
Power? He is the highest in the world, and he asks for nothing!
Wealth? The whole world is not the king's land, and money is just a few numbers to him!
His pursuit is the entire country!
Now only by reunifying China and leading China's rise can he feel a trace of expectation and excitement, as for the rest, in his eyes it is just floating clouds.
And these things that Lin Zhe expects and pursues will definitely not be ruined by those corrupt officials!
He doesn't care about the corruption that makes a small fuss, but if it makes a big deal and affects the foundation of the empire, then he will not hesitate to crack down, even if it is a river of blood.
Some people may say that if there is a big trouble, what if those local officials who were former Qing surrender officials turn against the water?
Lin Zhe's response to this is very simple, since he can lead the Chinese army to conquer these territories, then he is confident that he will lead the army to plow these territories again!
In the final analysis, the army is the reliance of Lin Zhe, and the civilian institutions of the empire are just vassals to be honest, and the entire civilian system is currently serving the military and serving Lin Zhe's hegemony. And when there is a problem in the civil service system, or the problem itself is not enough to support Lin Zhe's ambition and hegemony. Then Lin Zhe would not hesitate to raise his knife and slash at them.
Many middle and high-ranking officials in the cabinet impeached the Inspectorate, and I am afraid they would not have thought that they would finally provoke Shen Jingshan of the Inspectorate. Eventually, the fire will burn to your own head!
With the self-inspection action of the Inspectorate, many inspection teams of the Inspectorate also went to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, southern Anhui, and Fujian.
However, when people thought that this was just a self-inspection by the Inspectorate, the inspection team of the Inspectorate in Zhenjiang was like lightning, and within two days, they directly met with the prefect of Zhenjiang Prefecture, Tongzhi, the chief officials of each county, and the chief officials of various departments at the prefecture level, a total of more than ten officials.
Immediately afterwards, half of them were dismissed on the spot, and they were later arrested by the patrol police directly under the patrol police department transferred by the central government, including the Zhenjiang prefect.
And that's not all. Immediately afterwards, more than 100 people were confiscated from various staff members and section chiefs in the institutions of various prefectures and counties, and these people were all decent people at or above the level of staff members who were high in the eyes of outsiders on weekdays, and now they were taken down like this.
Then, in the patrol system of Zhenjiang Prefecture, more than one-third of the patrol officers were fired!
The reason why the Inspectorate chose to take the first step in Zhenjiang Prefecture in so many places is that, on the one hand, it is because the problem of the number of officials in Zhenjiang Prefecture is extremely prominent, and its prefect and other ministers have been impeached many times. It's just that Zhenjiang is particularly serious.
In addition, Zhenjiang is on the edge of Nanjing, and it is where the military is stationed in heavy troops, so it is easy to control the situation if something goes wrong!
Such a large-scale thorough investigation of Zhenjiang officialdom by the Inspectorate also caused a storm. However, the Inspectorate has just been impeached on a large scale before, and now it is possible to make something to prove that he is not dereliction of duty.
So although there were many people who paid attention, they didn't say anything. Several bigwigs in the cabinet even publicly stated that the actions of the Inspectorate helped them eliminate the black sheep!
But then it began to make the cabinet bigwigs a little unable to sit still!
Because it won't take long. Shanghai, Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangzhou, and the surrounding areas all showed traces of inspectorate inspection teams, and then one official after another was taken away for interviews. Although some people were able to come back, more than half of them were never able to come back, and they were generally dismissed on the spot, and then arrested by the patrol police directly under the patrol department.
For a while, people in the officialdom were panicked, especially many lower-level officials, such as the section chiefs of various counties and the directors of various prefectures, as soon as they heard that the inspection team of the Inspectorate was coming, a large number of them immediately ran away!
Although the actions of the Inspectorate are generally limited to lower-level officials, except in Zhenjiang, there is no target for the chief officials of prefectures and counties or provincial officials, after all, corruption in the empire is mainly concentrated in the lower levels, and there are relatively few middle and high-level officials.
But your inspectorate dismissed many of his subordinates, how do you let people still carry out their work, Suzhou Governor Lan Bosi handed a report to the Organization Department, on the one hand, he said that he was not effective in his work, and the supervision was not strict and he asked for his guilt, but on the other hand, he complained, saying that he had a total of seven directors under his hands, and the result was good, one of the seven directors was not left, four were arrested for corruption, two were demoted for malfeasance, and one was not degraded but also performed very well. As a result, he was promoted and transferred back to the Central Ministry of Industry and Commerce to become a section chief.
As a result, there was not a single division chief left under him, and even the section chiefs and section members who were under him were also cleaned up
But there is a huge Suzhou Mansion, and he can't be allowed to work directly with the staff, so he will find someone from the Organization Department and let the Organization Department send some new personnel to assist in the work, otherwise it will be really difficult!
Although other places do not say that it is so serious, there are basically grassroots officials dismissed in almost every locality, and this adds up to a huge shortage of grassroots officials.
Drop a few prefectures and counties to send it, saying that the lack of people under his hands has seriously affected the normal operation of government affairs, and Hou Bingqu of the Organization Department also frowned!
This time the Inspectorate has passed a little!
The rectification of the rule of officials is a long-term, continuous move, to simmer slowly over low heat, your inspectorate is now engaged in a storm, just take off the small semi-grassroots officials in southern Jiangsu and pat their butts and leave, this mess is not to be cleaned up in my organization department!
