Chapter 329: Rectifying the Rulers

(Thank you for the monthly pass of the Angel after Dusk!) ）

Chen Ye, the governor of Jilin Province, and several vice governors were sweating profusely after receiving Wang Yuze's order that night, until the emperor was in the rock and was besieged by people from the police station. Especially the brother-in-law of the county magistrate, Vice Governor Lu, is even more earthy. He naturally knew what his brother-in-law had done in Panshi County. I also know that this time I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape.

Chen Ye took several vice governors that night and rushed to Panshi County overnight. Along the way, Chen Ye's face was gloomy as if he could drip water, and from time to time he looked at Vice Governor Lu, as if he wanted to kill someone. He finally jumped from the position of mayor of Wuhan City to become the governor of Jilin, and he also thought about working hard to develop Jilin, so that one day he could also be crowned a marquis and pay homage to the prime minister. But now, such a bad thing has happened under his rule, which makes him even have the heart to kill Vice Governor Lu. The county magistrate of Panshi County is the brother-in-law of Vice Governor Lu, of course he knows this. It's just that I thought it was just a small problem, but now it's a big disaster.

Along the way, Vice Governor Lu's face was also pale. Originally, he thought that Panshi was just a small county town in the middle of nowhere, and let his brother-in-law toss it, as long as he was still in this position, there would be no problem. But who would have thought that the emperor would go to such a small place? It's just a flying disaster!

When they arrived at the rock from Jilin, it was already late at night. At this time, Wang Yuze had already rested, and they naturally didn't dare to bother anymore. I had to find another place to rest. At this time, the 4th Regiment of the 48th Division had already controlled the entire Panshi County. The county magistrate Gao and the people of the Gao family were all arrested, and all the officials involved were also arrested. In order to prevent problems, the entire Panshi County has been temporarily put under military control.

A number of officials in Jilin Province were panicked, and Zou Cheng, minister of personnel, and Gao Anguo, minister of supervision, who were far away in Beijing, were even more angry and scolded. In order to rectify the rule of the empire, Wang Yuze deliberately set up the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Supervision. Although these two departments did not enter the cabinet, they were directly responsible to Wang Yuze, which can be described as high power. But now that such a thing has happened, how can they explain to Wang Yuze! The two had no choice but to rush to the rock overnight. Fortunately, the railway department gave them convenience and prepared a special train, otherwise, they would have to wait until tomorrow. It's just that from Beijing to Panshi, the train has to travel for two days!

On September 6, after breakfast, Wang Yuze summoned a cadre of officials from Jilin Province.

"Ministers, see Majesty!" Chen Ye and the others all saluted Wang Yuze.

"Excellent! I didn't expect that this trip to the Northeast gave me a big surprise! Wang Yuze sighed and said.

"Please forgive the emperor!" From Wang Yuze's words, they could naturally feel that kind of anger, and one by one they hurriedly knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty. Although, Wang Yuze has ordered the abolition of kneeling. But these people are terrified at the moment, so they still care about these.

"Humph! How do you ask me to forgive my sins? A small Panshi county with a population of just over 100,000 people. The father and son of the Gao family have collected millions of ill-gotten gains in just a few years. The economic development is lagging behind, the people are miserable, and even the police station has become the domestic slave of the Gao family's father and son. Wang Yuze said angrily.

Hearing Wang Yuze's roar, Chen Ye and the others couldn't help but sweat like pulp, and they confessed their crimes one after another.

"Come on, arrest this vice governor surnamed Lu for me, and when the people from the Ministry of Supervision come, they will be interrogated in detail, what is the problem!" Wang Yuze ordered. A few wolf-like guards immediately took Vice Governor Lu away.

"Your Majesty spares your life!" Vice Governor Lu was also pale at the moment, shouting for mercy. However, Wang Yuze, who was angry, would not let go of these people.

On the evening of the 7th, Zou Cheng, Minister of Personnel, and Gao Anguo, Minister of Supervision, also rushed to Panshi. The two hurriedly pleaded guilty to Wang Yuze.

Although Wang Yuze knew that the empire was still relatively young, many officials were selected from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, especially those at the county level and below. These people have more or less feudal remnants, which has a very bad influence on the imperial officials. In the past three years, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Supervision have also been working hard and have achieved certain results. However, this is still very far from Wang Yuze's expectations. Especially the evil deeds of the Gao family's father and son, which made Wang Yuze angry.

"I have high hopes for your two departments. Your two departments, since their establishment, have asked people to give people and money to money. And now, is this what you are giving me in return? If the rulers of the empire are not clear, how can the empire rise? Wang Yuze asked angrily.

"Your Majesty's forgiveness is that our work is not in place!" Zou Cheng and Gao Anguo hurriedly pleaded guilty.

"I know that the empire is so big and has such a population, and despite your hard work, there are still many places that you can't take care of. But now is not the time for me, and you must devote all your energy to digging up these moths for me. Remember, I'm giving you one more chance, and one last chance. If this happens again, you two countries will resign yourselves! Wang Yuze said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zou Cheng and Gao Anguo breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. They know that this hurdle has passed. For the sake of their careers, they have to work hard! For the father and son of the Gao family who angered Wang Yuze, they naturally will not let it go.

The next day, the Ministry of Supervision tried the Gao family and their son, and soon obtained evidence of their crimes. Even Vice Governor Lu was not spared and was arrested. After ascertaining the situation, the Ministry of Personnel immediately dismissed Vice Governor Lu and Gao County Magistrate from their posts, and all other officials involved in the case were dismissed. Later, because Wang Yuze was in Panshi, the Jilin Provincial Court immediately held a trial of the case and sentenced all these corrupt officials to heavy sentences. The senior father and son and Vice Governor Lu were sentenced to death.

Chen Ye and other major leaders of Jilin, although they were not dismissed, also carried a punishment. In the future, if you want to be promoted, it will be much more difficult than others. This made Chen Ye even more responsible for hating the Gao family. Cutting off people's careers is completely an enmity that does not share the sky! If it weren't for the Gao family's father and son being sentenced to death, I'm afraid even Chen Ye wouldn't let them go.

An action to rectify the rule of officials began in Panshi County and spread rapidly to Jilin Province and even the whole country. For the sake of their careers, Zou Cheng and Gao Anguo even raised their spirits to thoroughly investigate those moths across the country. Wang Yuze even specifically asked the Military Intelligence Bureau to cooperate with him and provided the Ministry of Supervision and the Ministry of Personnel with a large amount of information.

The whole operation lasted for more than half a year, and it was not until the beginning of the war that it stopped. In the space of more than half a year, thousands of officials were once again dismissed. The vast majority are county-level officials. For these officials, if the circumstances were severe, Wang Yuze directly ordered the confiscation of property and sentenced to death. Although a large number of heads have landed, it has also made a great difference in the rule of the imperial officials. Everyone knows that the emperor is going to be real this time. When everyone wants to make a mistake again, they can't help but think more carefully, whether it's worth it. Under this kind of forceful means, many officials have become more strict with themselves, and with the full monitoring of the Ministry of Supervision and the Ministry of Personnel, the number of ** incidents in the empire has decreased a lot.

Wang Yuze stayed in the northeast until the end of October, when he began to return to Beijing after the first snowfall. And now, as the time approaches, the atmosphere in the Far East as a whole is becoming more and more tense. In particular, in China, all units are intensively preparing for war. While the railways were still operating, large quantities of weapons, ammunition and other strategic materials were transferred to the troops. For the troops of the North, war is at hand. After next spring, the war between China and Russia may begin.

"Wang Wei, why do you say there are still so many people who are corrupt and pervert the law? I remember that in the past three years, many officials have been executed every year, why do these people still refuse to change their ways? Don't they know that this is going to kill the head? - The net does not skip words. On the special train back to Beijing, Wang Yuze asked angrily.

"Your Majesty, people's greed is endless, although the salary given by the government is already very generous, but if you spend all day drinking and drinking, it is obviously not enough. Therefore, these people are desperately trying to make money, and the result is getting stricter and stricter. In addition, this is inseparable from the feudal remnants of our country. In the Manchu Qing Dynasty, almost all officials were trying to embezzle, and the habits formed by this were difficult to break! If we could replace all these old bureaucrats, maybe it would be much better! Wang Wei said.

"The Imperial University of Administration is already expanding, with thousands of students graduating every year starting next year. These students have all undergone patriotic education, and I believe that their participation will definitely inject a trace of vitality into the officialdom of the empire. After a few years, these people will be able to gradually replace the old bureaucrats! Wang Yuze said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, these are not in a hurry, we just need to follow the plan step by step! I believe that the future of the empire is certainly bright! Wang Wei said.

Wang Yuze is not as optimistic as Wang Wei, although these students who graduated from the Imperial Administration University have undergone a good education. But will they be able to withstand the corrosive effects of sugar-coated shells? It's very hard to say.
