readx; Hong Zitai took out almost all of his family property, except for part of the original property left to maintain the family, and secretly donated all the rest to the state treasury. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Hong Zitai's kung fu surprised Anwarin and Chen Jingyun at the same time.

Chen Jingyun knew about Hong Zitai using his power to expand industries and seek personal gain, but he hadn't thought about pulling Hong Zitai down now, otherwise he wouldn't have let him serve as the head of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce of the Xuanfu Envoy before, and it would be a matter of time to pull him down.

It is easy to pull Hong Zitai down, but the impact of rashly moving a core high-level civil official is something Chen Jingyun needs to consider; if a bad mess is made, it will become a big scandal in the officialdom of Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, and then the people of the two provinces will lose hope in the national army, and even give other warlords in the country, especially Beiyang, a good excuse to attack, and if public opinion is allowed to be one-sided, it will even shake the ruling foundation of the national army.

Chen Jingyun has demanded internal stability since the beginning of the Fuzhou Uprising, and now that the domestic situation is tense, he doesn't want to mess up the internal situation for some kind of corruption. So although Hong Zitai is the first on the blacklist, Chen Jingyun still has no intention of pulling him off the horse now, and after he gets on the right track in the future, Chen Jingyun has the opportunity to pull him down, which is just a matter of one sentence.

The other is that Hong Zitai is not an ordinary businessman, he is also the leader of the industrial and commercial circles of Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, and he can be regarded as the representative of those chaebols. At the beginning, the chaebol businessmen of Fujian and Zhejiang provinces jointly built the Fuhang Textile Company in order to develop and monopolize the raw silk industry in Zhejiang, and this joint enterprise that has controlled forty percent of the raw silk output of the two provinces is also the means for Chen Jingyun to win over the businessmen of the two provinces at the beginning.

The main supporters of the Nationalist Army are now the industrial and commercial class, and if Hong Zitai, the leader of the industrial and commercial class, rashly loses his position, it is easy for those industrialists and industrialists to have a bad opinion of the Nationalist Army, and even think that Chen Jingyun is going to start shearing sheep and the like.

The last one, Hong Zitai's ability to do things is still there, the industry and commerce of the two provinces are developing very rapidly under his leadership, although Hong Zitai's mind to develop industry and commerce is not very simple, to a large extent for his own selfish interests, but it cannot be denied that this person is still quite experienced in the development of industry and commerce, and it is also very important, such as Fuzhou, Hangzhou two economic development zones are hosted by him, and the Shanghai Economic Development Zone is also in preparation. There are many theorists in the development of industry and commerce, and there are countless people who shout empty slogans, but there are really not many people who can really do practical things, and it is even more difficult for Chen Jingyun to find a person who works for him.

Capable people are not so easy to find, there are so many powerful people, and not everyone can accumulate more than 20 million properties in just over a year like Hong Zitai.

Chen Jingyun didn't plan to let Hong Zitai be pulled down now, but in the future, this person must not be able to stay, he didn't tell anyone else about this thought, and others are not roundworms in Chen Jingyun's stomach, so naturally it is impossible for Chen Jingyun to have any thoughts, Hong Zitai still thought that Chen Jingyun was going to do something to him, and now that he has realized that money is nothing in front of power, Hong Zitai also gritted his teeth and wanted to donate all his family wealth.

Faced with this situation, Chen Jingyun was a little surprised, but he didn't say no, anyway, the money was not for him, but donated to the treasury. But in order to avoid gossip, Chen Jingyun still personally instructed An Hualin to send back part of the family wealth to Hong Zitai, this part of the family wealth is Hong Zitai's original family property, even if the illegal gains are confiscated, this part will not be confiscated.

Hong Zitai gave the money away, and Chen Jingyun accepted it happily before he settled down.

Not many people know about Hong Zitai's matter, just a few people Chen Jingyun, Chen Cai, and An Hualin, and people from the outside world don't know at all, and even if Hong Zitai donated this part of the money back to Hong Zitai for more than 2 million, there are almost 17 million, but most of them are shares of enterprises, a few land deeds, and almost 2 million recovery bonds. These assets are fixed assets, Chen Jingyun can't use them for a while, they can only be used in exchange for cash, coincidentally, many fixed assets were bought back by Hong Zitai, although he donated most of his assets to the treasury, but the rest is worth a lot of money, plus the prestige in the industrial and commercial industry is acceptable, borrowing from banks and borrowing from peers can also make up a lot of money. However, in order to avoid Chen Jingyun's disgust, Hong Zitai still asked Chen Jingyun in advance, most of these industries were also operated by Hong Zitai before, and now the money used by Hong Zitai to redeem shares is borrowed and financed, and more importantly, the Ministry of Finance can quickly get cash after these assets are taken off, so Chen Jingyun is also approved.

After turning around like this, Hong Zitai kept his position and most of his family property, but he owed a lot of debt to the bank and his peers. After going through this incident, Hong Zitai split all the properties, and then handed them over to his sons to manage separately, while he himself concentrated on government affairs, this time he understood that as long as he kept this official position, nothing else was anything.

And Chen Jingyun can be regarded as getting a lot of money for the Ministry of Finance, and it is all cash, he didn't plan to pull Hong Zitai down, he also feels that he has taken advantage, as for Anwarin, these days it is a smiling face, which is more than a thousand dollars for no reason, but it has reduced the pressure on the Ministry of Finance a lot, and even hinted to Cheng Biguang of the Navy Department that in this year's military budget, the Navy has more money to build ships, but there are still millions.

Hong Zitai didn't have anything to do, but the middle-level officials on the blacklist were so lucky, most of the people who were arrested by the Investigation Bureau never came back, a few were shot directly, and more were quickly sentenced to several years or even longer prison sentences after a simple trial and a trial by a special court, and none of them were punished: confiscation of illegal gains, and a few lucky ones walked out of the door of the Investigation Bureau safely, but they also kept their mouths shut about all kinds of questions from others, I don't know.

Although many people in the officialdom know that the Investigation Bureau has arrested many people, most of them think that it is related to the arrest some time ago, and they think more about political issues than economic issues. No one in the officialdom knows much about the truth of the matter, and outsiders even know nothing, and there is not even a little rumor in the newspapers about this major event, and the Investigation Bureau strictly implements Chen Jingyun's order to keep a low profile, and there is no exposure in the whole process, and although some reporters with inside information channels have written some articles with similar speculations, they have also been controlled by the propaganda department under the Investigation Bureau.

This large-scale anti-corruption campaign did not cause much stir in the political circles of the two provinces. Of course, there are still some aftermaths of this matter, such as those officials were disposed of, and a lot of positions were vacated, and most of these positions were also some real power positions that were more important, which caused the competition of many officials below, but Chen Jingyun naturally didn't care much about these things, most of those positions were some middle-level positions, and no one dared to come to Chen Jingyun to intercede for these positions, Chen Jingyun didn't have the spare time to do these things, and the people below would let them fight if they wanted to fight. Who is on top makes little difference to Chen Jingyun. However, Chen Jingyun also knew that some of these positions were more important, in order to prevent these new people from following their predecessors to make money as their own responsibility, Chen Jingyun instructed Chen Cai to focus on them, and found one to kill one, found two to kill a couple, and found a hundred to shoot a group.

China lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of people who want to be officials, Chen Jingyun killed one, and there were a hundred people lined up to be officials. They are best described as one after the other.

When Chen Jingyun was sorting out the political arena in Fuzhou and cracking down on corruption, the Nationalist Army was relatively much more low-key, squatting in southern Jiangsu honestly according to the agreement signed with Beiyang, the three divisions on the front line were building defense lines, and the three divisions in Hangzhou, Ningbo, and Jinhua in the rear were also training and resting, and the conflict with the Beiyang side had completely stopped.

The Nationalist Army is very low-key in military operations, and at the same time remains silent on other domestic affairs, such as Tang Jiyao sent troops to Sichuan, and now the Beiyang Army has ceased war with the Nationalist Army, Yuan Shikai also has the energy to pay attention to Sichuan, Sichuan is such an important province He naturally does not want the Dian Army to be controlled, so he asked the Dian Army to retreat, on the other hand, it can also support several other warlords in Sichuan, give money, guns and titles, and let them resist the Dian Army.

The Dian army has been fighting in Sichuan for several months, but the progress is not very smooth, and now as soon as several other warlords in Sichuan are strongly supported by Yuan Shikai, the progress of the Dian army is even slower, and there is a stalemate for a while.

As for the affairs of Sichuan, the Nationalist Army, like other domestic affairs, kept a low profile, and did not even send a telegram about it. In the face of Tang Jiyao's statement that he wanted to purchase arms, Chen Jingyun also bought a batch of manufactured rifles before and after, and later Tang Jiyao said that he wanted to buy artillery and more guns, and Chen Jingyun naturally did not know whether to buy artillery, and now the Nationalist Army's own artillery has to be purchased from outside, and the 75-millimeter mountain artillery produced cannot at all supplement the huge consumption of the Nationalist Army, and there is also a serious shortage of mortars. However, there are guns and bullets, Fuzhou Arsenal is producing a large number of 12-type rifles, in addition to supplementing the consumption of the troops, it is also slowly replacing the troops that were originally equipped with Hanyang-made rifles, the Hanyang-made equipment in the national army has new and old, the old ones have been used for more than ten years, and the new ones have been in recent years, so some of the old Hanyang-made ones have been slowly replaced, and the number of these retired Hanyang-made ones is naturally not much, but they have all been sold to Tang Jiyao.
