readx; In view of the increasingly serious problem of officials in Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, Chen Jingyun can not sit idly by as before, after the Fuzhou Uprising, he basically did not have much more to meddle in civil affairs, and even the extremely important economic development zone is also handed over to the officials below to handle, Chen Jingyun's requirements for civil affairs have always been very simple, one is that they can do it according to their own requirements, and implement some basic issues, such as the investment promotion of the economic development zone. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe second is to maintain stability in the ruling area. Chen Jingyun also didn't plan to ask those officials under him to be like those Qing officials in history, and at the same time they were still a sunny man, which was simply impossible.

As long as they don't make too much of a mess, keep the ruling area stable, and let the people maintain a stable life, then it will be enough for Chen Jingyun. As long as stability can be maintained in the ruling area, those national armies will have a stable rear, and he Chen Jingyun will be able to lead the national army to fight everywhere and lay the foundation for hegemony.

In fact, so far, the officials of Fujian and Zhejiang provinces have done a good job in practical matters, especially in the area of industry and commerce, because many high-level officials in the political axe system are big businessmen and wealthy people, so he is still very concerned about his own interests, and has introduced a lot of measures conducive to the development of industry and commerce.

There was not much chaos in other civil affairs, such as the land law that was tried in the Yanping area in the early stage, Zheng Zuyin and others were fully supportive, actively running, with the strong cooperation of the national army, so that many influential large landowners were able to cooperate, and some other people's livelihood affairs were also not messy, in the first half of the year, many prefectures and counties in Fujian suffered floods, without Chen Jingyun's orders, Zheng Zuyin and other officials have already begun to rescue the disaster area and disaster relief work.

Generally speaking, Chen Jingyun is quite satisfied with the work of Zheng Zuyin and others, so he doesn't care about the small problems of some officials in the political axe, such as accepting bribes.

But he didn't expect that the degree of this political axe official would be so fast, and in the first half of the year, he knew from Chen Cai's report that some officials only took hundreds or thousands of bribes. But as soon as half a year passed, in the list that Chen Cai listed for Chen Jingyun alone, there were a large number of people who accepted bribes of tens of thousands of dollars, and then there were even more people who used their power for personal gain to obtain greater benefits. This is especially true among high-ranking political officials.

Most of these political officials used to be members of the Provincial Advisory Bureau, and they used to be famous gentry, wealthy businessmen, and other roles, and most of them were valuable and had many properties. Zheng Zuyin, An Hualin, Hong Zitai and even Chen Jingyun himself are all such people, and there can be no real pure politician. To a certain extent, the current military and political axes of Fujian and Zhejiang provinces are the gathering places of the gentry and wealthy businessmen of Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, and most of the high-level officials are people with many industries outside.

And once these people take power, the phenomenon of abusing power for personal gain appears, and even the reason why the Chen family's industry expanded so rapidly at the beginning was because Chen Yanghui, the foreign housekeeper of the Chen Mansion, relied on Chen Jingyun's momentum to get it, although Chen Jingyun later returned these forcibly seized properties to the original owners in order to influence, or sold these properties, but this fact still could not be concealed.

Among other officials, this kind of problem also exists, especially Hong Zitai, whose family industry has reached tens of millions in the first half of the year, and now Chen Cai's report to Chen Jingyun, Hong Zitai is ranked first, according to the statistics of the Investigation Bureau, the Hong family's assets have reached 17 million. It is naturally impossible to earn a lot of money through normal commercial means, and it is impossible for corruption and bribery to accumulate so many assets in such a short period of time, there is only one way, that is, to use power for personal gain, especially when Hong Zitai is still in charge of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, it is too simple to use power for personal gain.

Those subordinate officials made a small fuss, Chen Jingyun didn't care, and it was nothing to collect bribes of a few hundred yuan or a few thousand yuan to improve his life, but when this kind of abuse of power for personal gain involved millions or tens of millions, don't blame Chen Jingyun for being ruthless.

In order to avoid affecting the operation of the political axe system to the greatest extent, Chen Jingyun withheld the list, and then asked the Military Investigation Bureau to continue to secretly monitor and investigate and make all-round preparations. Originally, the power to investigate the problem of corrupt and bribery officials [***] lies with the Ministry of Supervision, but Chen Jingyun knows that Han Chenxu is a dead brain, for fear that he will accidentally make a big earthquake, although this matter must be solved, but it must also be solved quietly, try to avoid the bad impact of this matter, especially not to communicate the news to the outside world, if the people know that the officials under him Chen Jingyun are all a group of corrupt and bribery moths, and they are all bigger than the other. It will be a big blow to the reputation of the national army in the future.

In this matter, you must quietly enter the village, and those who shoot are not allowed.

After Chen Cai received Chen Jingyun's orders, especially after Chen Jingyun repeatedly told him to pay attention to the influence, the investigation bureau's action began.

Officers of the Bureau of Investigation in black uniforms knocked on the doors of the offending officers in the darkness of the night and then immediately arrested them without saying a word.

In just one night, the Investigation Bureau has already arrested more than 50 criminal officials, and these are the more important officials who can be arrested by the Investigation Bureau in person, not civil servants such as ordinary clerks. So many officials were arrested overnight, and naturally many people got the news the next day, but they still don't know what the Investigation Bureau arrested these people for, thinking that it was related to the arrest some time ago.

The next day, however, people found that more than 20 more officials had been arrested, and the rank of these officials was getting higher and higher, even a high-ranking official who was only the vice governor of Fujian Province not long ago was arrested, and there were many other cadres at the department and bureau level. At this time, many people were anxious.

Hong Zitai sat in his study, he was alone in the study, and the tea on the table was already cold. Regarding the sudden arrest of several sudden investigation bureaus, Hong Zitai was also a little panicked.

The reputation of the Military Investigation Bureau may not be known to ordinary people, and even many people in Fujian and Zhejiang provinces have never heard of this organization, but as a high-ranking official of the National Army, he knows it very clearly. This Military Investigation Bureau is different from other departments, it is not incorporated into the various organs of the Xuanfu Embassy, although it has a military name, but it is not under the management of the National Army Command, this organ is directly under the leadership of Chen Jingyun. In other words, its rank is the same as that of the National Army Headquarters and the Xuanfu Embassy. And this agency has shown the surname of his secret service agency from the very beginning, although outsiders and even Hong Zitai still can't figure out the operation of this investigation bureau and even don't know where the funds come from, but Hong Zitai is very clear that this military investigation bureau is Chen Jingyun's Jinyiwei.

There are now two intelligence agencies in the National Army system, one is the Military Intelligence Department under the National Army Command, which is mainly responsible for the military intelligence of the enemy to strike a potential enemy, and is mainly active externally. The second is the Military Investigation Bureau, which is under the direct leadership of Chen Jingyun, and this investigation bureau is mainly responsible for internal hostile elements. As for what is a hostile element, this definition is difficult to distinguish, anyway, Chen Cai's understanding is Chen Jingyun's enemy, and this enemy includes internal officials. And outsiders' understanding is that this investigation bureau has the same surname as the Jinyiwei of the former Ming Dynasty, detecting hundreds of officials, preventing rebellion and the like. However, this understanding is not wrong, the surveillance of investigation officials is indeed one of the business of the Investigation Bureau, but the main business of the Investigation Bureau does not include the investigation of [***] bribery and other economic issues, the Investigation Bureau is involved more in the political level, such as collusion with hostile forces, defection, etc., overthrow Chen Jingyun and other things, this economic period is strictly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Supervision. However, the matter is urgent, and now this matter can threaten the ruling power, and it is not something that the Ministry of Supervision can solve.

It is precisely because the Military Investigation Bureau is so special that Hong Zitai is worried. He doesn't believe that those many officials will collude with Beiyang or the Kuomintang to be arrested by the Investigation Bureau, those officials, especially the high-level officials, are not big families, they rely on the system of the National Army, and they can't get any benefits by buying the National Army, even he Hong Zitai himself, there are a lot of lobbyists in Beiyang, nothing more than lobbying him to support the Beiyang Army instead, secretly stumbling over Chen Jingyun and the like, but he Hong Zitai is not stupid, it is one thing to use power to make money for personal gain, But he understands very well that his foundation is in the National Army, and it can even be said that he relies on Chen Jingyun, and Chen Jingyun's fall will not benefit him at all, so whenever he encounters these things, he doesn't bother to say anything to these people, and directly asks Chen Cai to take people away.

"Is it really an economic problem?" After Hong Zitai thought of this possible surname, his back began to shine, and after thinking about it carefully, many of those who were arrested were really people who used their power for personal gain, especially those subordinates of his own Ministry of Finance, who didn't dare to say anything, but there were still millions: "Could it be that the commander is really going to start working?" ”

After Hong Zitai thought of this possible surname, his back was shiny for a while, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Although he does not take bribes or accept bribes, he is the head of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and then he can use the policy to obtain huge benefits for the industries under his name, for example, part of the army's grain procurement is the responsibility of the grain store under his name Hong Zitai, and Hong Zitai has monopolized the grain prices in most areas of Fujian in one fell swoop in the name of military grain procurement, and the profits are far from being comparable to those who take bribes in petty fights. And because of his position as the head of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, many businesses cooperate with him and the like, and it is inevitable that they will give up most of their interests to Hong Zitai in the process, which is also the reason for the rapid expansion of his Hong family's industry in a short period of time.

Basically, this model is also a model for other high-level political officials to accumulate wealth, they will not take bribes or the like, but they can use their status and power to carry out business activities that are beneficial to them, so as to obtain great commercial benefits, speaking of which, this model is not only used by Hong Zitai, but also the current Chen family's industry, if there is no Chen Jingyun's acquiescence, how could the Bank of Fuzhou fall to the name of the Chen Mansion changed to Huaxia Bank, and if there is no support from Chen Jingyun, how can those American loans enter Huaxia Bank first, and then walked around Huaxia Bank to get the seven-story shares of Fuzhou Arsenal. If it weren't for Chen Jingyun's support, how could the lucrative tobacco industry implement the access system, so far there are only two tobacco companies in Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, and the Chen family occupies a large number of shares in these two tobacco companies.

After all, Chen Jingyun gave them a head!

But the reality is so cruel, the state official set the fire and did not let the surname Bai light the lamp, and even Chen Jingyun himself did not realize this, he also thought that the various investments made by Huaxia Bank under his control could move forward according to his own will, trying to establish a complete heavy industry system in his own hands.

However, now that Hong Zitai does not complain that the state officials set fire to the people and light the lamps, he calmly thinks about how to avoid this impending crisis, and he doesn't want the black-uniformed personnel of the Military Investigation Bureau to take him away in a few nights and never see the sky again.
