I’m The King Chapter 1237: : Carry on the past and open up the future (one hundred and twenty-seven) involved

The news of Guo Quan's death caused a shock among the high-level people in the capital, but it didn't have much response among the people, because the minister of the Ministry of Industry was too low-key, so low-key that most people in Jicheng even It is the nationals of the Han Dynasty who have never heard of this minister of the Ministry of Industry. When everyone was enjoying the complete transportation and water conservancy facilities of Dahan, what they admired was only the sageness of the king and ignored Guo Quan, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, who directly presided over the construction of these projects.

In fact, Guo Quan seldom appeared on the big political stage of Jicheng. Since he served as Minister of the Ministry of Industry of the Great Han, he has spent almost all his time on the transportation construction of the Great Han.

Compared to Guo Quan's death, what shocked the people of Jicheng even more was the political earthquake.

One of the first things that came out was that Li Can, who was in charge of maritime affairs, resigned, and will take up the post of principal of the Naval University, which is about to be constructed. As for the position of the principal of the university hall, everyone knows that Li Can must have a big problem, but few people know the details, and the court did not explain this, but only stated that this is a normal personnel transfer. Naturally, internal and external reasons are not humane.

The second person who was affected was Wu Kai, another member of the Political Affairs Hall. This person's qualifications are not comparable to Li Can's. When Hanwang Gaoyuan was still in Fufeng, Wu Kai was even Hanwang's parent official. Supporters and the most confidant team. This time, Wu Kai was in charge of the Ministry of Industry in his political capacity. It doesn't seem to have received much derogation, but everyone knows that Zhengshitang is a transcendent existence. Not holding actual posts in various ministries, but taking actual posts in the Ministry of Industry for the purpose of discussing politics, in fact, is dissatisfied with Wu Kai's work.

If these changes in personnel are not enough to shock everyone's nerves, the next big cleansing of the Ministry of Industry will make everyone dumbfounded. The Yamen of the Ministry of Industry arrested him and sent him to the procuratorate. Immediately, officials from the Procuratorate went to the Ministry of Industry to seal up the accounts and began a large-scale audit. He Cheng, the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, was demoted to Yuanwailang. Within a few days, fifteen officials from all over the Ministry of Industry were arrested.

The Ministry of Industry has always been a big hole for the Han court to swallow money. The construction of the two traffic arteries, the laying of water conservancy projects across the country, and the transportation construction subsidies for counties and counties all came from the Ministry of Industry. Among the slogans advocated by Hanwang Gaoyuan, if you want to get rich, build roads first, tens of millions of money go out from here every year.

Guo Quan, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, has been away for many years, presiding over the construction of the east-west traffic artery. Wu Kai, who is in charge of the discussion of the Ministry of Industry, is a hands-off shopkeeper who does not care about things. The procuratorate entered the Ministry of Industry to check the accounts and searched Wu Kui's mansion, and the results were shocking.

It's not just tampering with projects directly under the Ministry of Industry, but also colluding with local governments. Those who paid tribute to him and respected him gave great weight to the approval of the project. The final result was that those who needed it most did not get it, and those who were not urgent could get a large amount of project subsidies. Find the case here. It has already involved Langya and Yuyang. Hejian and other large counties made the officials in charge of the investigation tremble, so they could only report the specific safety situation to the king directly.

After Gao Yuan read the case details of the procuratorate, he didn't sleep all night. The next day, he directly summoned Chen Guansong, the dean of the procuratorate, Jing Shou, the dean of the court, and several officials into the palace.

When it was dark, several high-ranking officials came out of the palace. Chen Guansong immediately announced that the corruption case of the Ministry of Industry was closed, and all the criminals were handed over to the court. Wu Kui, the former left servant of the Ministry of Industry, was sentenced to death and executed immediately, while all the other accomplices were dispatched to Liaodong.

A major corruption case that shocked the big man ended unexpectedly.

"Fan Dengke and Wu Ci'an are both old ministers, and they have always been the most trustworthy people. They are also involved in this scandal. The dignified county guard actually bribed Wu Kui. It is shocking to think about it. Mr. Jiang, a big man It has only been a few years since the founding of the country, and the governance has always been very strict in terms of corruption, why are there still people fighting against the wind?" Gao Yuan sat there a little decadent, looked at Jiang Jiaquan opposite and sighed.

"Your Majesty, money touches people's hearts. Throughout the ages, how many people can be as calm as water? However, there are still differences between them. Judging from the current investigation, Fan Dengke and Wu Ci'an did not There is a big difference between filling one's own pocket and bribing Wu Kui for the sake of local development. The key is Wu Kui, who is too courageous. Yes." Jiang Jiaquan comforted Gao Yuan and said: "The overall integrity of our Han officials is commendable."

"It's not a matter of Guo Quan's presence or absence. Even if Guo Quan is in Jicheng, with Guo Quan's ability, he may be fooled by Wu Kui. The root cause is the lack of supervision by the officials , There used to be an Overwatch Council, but because of the opinions of the political deliberators, the control over the officials was abolished, and now it seems that there is still a problem."

"Your Majesty, this action must never be undone." Jiang Jiaquan said with a slight change of color.

"I know what you mean." Gao Yuan waved his hand, "Since secret surveillance is unpopular, it cannot be restored, but we must put an end to such things from the system, Mr. Jiang, I am going to set up a new The yamen, temporarily named Audit Bureau, the main function is to audit the accounts of various ministries and yamen, such an audit is done every year, and when officials are transferred to leave their posts, they must pass the audit test. What do you think of this measure? The reason why the Ministry of Industry has brought such a big case is because the accounts of the Ministry of Industry have not been audited for several years."

"This idea can be considered, but my lord, since the establishment of the Han Dynasty, a lot of yamen have been added, and the bureaucratic system has expanded too fast. This is also a problem!" Jiang Jiaquan said with some concern. "The central government has set up an audit bureau, and the states and counties below must also set up corresponding departments. After calculating the accounts, there are more and more people supported by the imperial court!"

"Some departments can be streamlined, such as the local guards, we abolished them, and now we have lost millions of people who have little combat effectiveness but are still paid, but some departments must be added, such as A case like the Ministry of Industry will not only lose money, but also the dignity and credibility of the court." Gao Yuan said.

"According to what the king said, the officials of the Audit Bureau are quite professional. Where do they come from?"

"Set up the stall first, and temporarily transfer some staff from Wang Wudi of the Ministry of Finance and Mei Yipo of the Central Bank. Wang Wudi is a famous iron cock. This time, Wu Kui's incident made him angry. A large amount of money from the Ministry of Finance was stuffed into his pocket by Wu Kui. If this audit bureau was established, he would definitely approve of it. As for the follow-up, he still needs to start training people in this area. Come on, let’s train a group of people like this, and strive to carry out this work within three to five years. In the near future, let these people work hard first, starting with the review of the various departments of the central government. Cat, you have to go through the water."

"Okay, since the king has made up his mind, the Political Affairs Hall will start this work first." Jiang Jiaquan nodded.

Gao Yuan nodded, "The big man seems to be thriving now, but the old habits and rules are too inertial. Suddenly, if you want to stop the car and pull it back, it will not be possible in a short time. Sometimes I am too impatient about things, wishing that everything can come according to my imagination. The matter of the Ministry of Industry reminded me that the central department, right under my nose, is still there. With such a big corruption case, I am afraid that the hidden cause will be even bigger. This case dare not dig deep, and it is impossible to dig deep. It is precisely based on this that there are strong enemies outside and hidden dangers inside. It makes people sleepless."

"Your Majesty is worrying too much!" Jiang Jiaquan said with a smile: "No matter how strong a person is, there will always be some problems of one kind or another on his body. As long as there is no problem with the main organs, it will not affect the person's survival. , it has only been a few years since the founding of the Han Dynasty~IndoMTL.com~Many places have heard the rumors, and the imperial court did not go to war in order to appease these areas and stabilize people's hearts. This is one of them, but in our core areas, like Jishi County , Liaoxi County and other places are still very clean, food can only be eaten one bite at a time, and the road can only be walked step by step. Right now, these are small details. When the foreign troubles are eliminated and the world is unified, the king has plenty of time to do these Things, in fact, in my opinion, the king has done much better than any king in history. Unprecedented institutions such as the procuratorate, the court, and the great council have guaranteed that our Han Dynasty is better than any dynasty in history. It is much more clean and honest, and the king is in the prime of his life, so why worry about not having enough time?"

"Time flies, seize the day, there are too many things to do." Gao Yuan murmured: "This continent is only a little big, and the outside world is huge. I want to create It is an empire on which the sun never sets, as long as the sun rises, there will be our banner of the Great Han.”

Listening to Gao Yuan's words, Jiang Jiaquan smiled wryly. To him, everything Gao Yuan described was not only novel but also far away.

"Is it the thing that the king made for Kou Shuguang?"

"That's not a thing, that's a..." Gao Yuan paused after speaking halfway. Talking about globes to my husband now is tantamount to talking to a cow. "That is a real existence" (to be continued)
