Chapter 816 Su Yonglin will become the ideal most powerful weapon

Because of the huge amount of materials, the huge amount of money and goods, and the huge number of officials handling affairs, Su Yonglin has always attached great importance to audit work.

Although he has just established a country and the country is in a state of ruin, the politics of ordinary dynasties will be relatively clear in this case, but corruption is ubiquitous.

Greed exists in human nature, it is inevitable, and not everyone can control their desires.

It's just that the new officials of the Renaissance Society have an extra layer of moral shackles compared to the old bureaucrats.

In the past, Confucian scholars also had their own moral shackles, but now that the moral shackles built by Confucianism for themselves have been digested internally, officials from Fuxinghui must be better than Confucian bureaucrats in terms of integrity.

But to say that it doesn't exist at all, Su Yonglin himself doesn't believe it, and Xu Li is that example.

Therefore, the audit work not only investigates the areas governed by the old bureaucrats, but also investigates the areas governed by the officials of the Restoration Association together with the local Restoration Association organizations and judicial departments. If these institutions have not been established, they should immediately Build it up.

Shandong has determined that there is a problem, and the account books of the Dongping and Jinan branches must be tricky, so now Su Yonglin needs to check the Kaifeng headquarters, the Xuzhou branch and the Pizhou branch, and first clarify these three branches.

Nothing is best, he can go all out to attack Shandong.

But if something happened, he couldn't pretend he didn't see it.

As long as there are any clues, we must find out. The black sheep must not be there from the beginning. From the very beginning, we must strictly stop such problems, find them out, and kill them.

Otherwise, if the Yellow River Project is delayed for a long time, more and more serious cases will inevitably occur, and even the final quality of the Yellow River Project will be affected.

Compared with these old bureaucrats, what Su Yonglin can't accept is the corruption in the areas under the administration of the officials of the Renaissance Society, which will make him very frustrated.

It is enough for the incident in Neihuang County to happen once. He cannot allow more places to happen. This is the reason why he sent more working groups to inspect the places.

If the ideal cannot be a weapon to block reality, then add to the ideal and arm it.

Su Yonglin will become the ideal most powerful weapon.

lethal weapon.

While checking accounts in Kaifeng, Xuzhou and Pizhou, Su Yonglin paid close attention to the investigation of the Shandong issue by the [-]th Action Team of the Skynet Army.

According to Su Yonglin's request, Hu Wei, the branch director of the Tai'an Renaissance Society, continued to investigate the issue of rising prices in Tai'an, and launched an investigation into several other surrounding states that did not have a Renaissance Society branch.

The situation in Shandong is quite special. It is not only the place where Su Yonglin started, and the fire is booming, but it is also the base of the old bureaucrats and gentry, and the cold wind blows all year round.

During the war years, relying on the devastation of the war and taking advantage of the greed and ferocity of the Jin Bing, Su Yonglin took control of some unowned land, the local government, the resources and the population, and thus established a strong enough to fight against the Jin Kingdom, A foundation that guarantees its own survival.

But I have to admit that the entire Shandong area is very large, and there are quite a few areas that Su Yonglin could not intervene under the circumstances at that time, and can only be entrusted to the old bureaucrats and gentry who occupied those areas. According to the old rules run.

These areas are completely different from other areas under the control of the Renaissance. The areas under the control of the Renaissance are undergoing great changes, while the areas controlled by the landlords and gentry are completely unmoved.

The Fuxing Association controlled the area, the peasant association was established, the peasants turned themselves into masters, received literacy education, and most of the people began to read and write.

Because of the reform of tax policy, farmers can keep most of their labor income, not only to maintain food and clothing, but also to eat well occasionally. Tax collectors cannot raise additional taxes. Farmers’ hard work can increase their savings, so the family can look forward to the future.

In the areas controlled by the landlord gentry, most of the peasants were tenants and were subjected to brutal exploitation. Sixty to seventy percent of their production income was taken away by the landlords, and even [-] percent.

It is very difficult to maintain food and clothing. I can’t eat enough all the year round, and I can stay in a state of starvation. Basically, they are all illiterate, few can read, and they are confused. They are almost slaves of the master’s family.

Two completely different states appear on the same land, which is a bit of magical realism.

Therefore, according to the rules, Shandong should be the place with the sharpest class contradictions and the fiercest struggle, but because of Su Yonglin's deliberate control, there was no turmoil here.

In the past it was not.

But not necessarily now... No, there is bound to be unrest.

If it wasn't for Su Yonglin's choice, the local peasant associations and village peasant associations would have long ago led the peasants to kill the areas controlled by the powerful landlords to liberate their brothers and sisters.

So in the face of the situation at this moment, Su Yonglin felt a little guilty, thinking that he had softened his hand.

But not in the future, he will never be soft-handed again, he will soon go to Shandong, take the local poor peasants, and break the shackles on his body.

When Su Yonglin was leading the team to review the accounts, Hu Wei, the branch director of the Tai'an State Revival Society, sent the second report to Su Yonglin.

He mentioned in the report that it is not only Tai'an Prefecture. He found that Jinan Prefecture, Dongping Prefecture, Zizhou, Yanzhou and other places have various levels of price increases, and the upward trend is strange, which is inconsistent with the price increase in normal years.

So much so that there is some turmoil in the local people.

The prices of many living materials, including food prices, have risen. It would be very strange if the people did not respond.

After reading the report, Su Yonglin was more certain that the nature of the Shandong case was bad, and the absolute amount of money involved was quite large.

Such things as rising prices are not necessarily a bad thing for a country.

And from a traditional point of view, as long as food prices are not too outrageous, local officials have no reason to report to the central government.

Traditionally, the government did not pay much attention to business, because the price of salt was controlled by the government, so as long as the price of grain remained stable, everything else would be stable, and ordinary feudal bureaucrats would not pay special attention to this kind of thing.

Anyway, as long as the people have food and salt to eat, they won't cause trouble or rebellion, and local officials can settle down and go about their business.

However, after Su Yonglin established the country, he established a reporting mechanism for rising prices, requiring the local government to report to the central government quarterly the local price situation, especially the price of food, coal and other materials that are related to people's livelihood.

The Ministry of Finance has a detailed summary record of this. Every quarter, it will give a report on the rising or falling prices of local prices to Su Yonglin, so that Su Yonglin can have a general judgment on the national economic situation.

As a supporting measure, Su Yonglin set up a plan for the state to purchase grain for storage, in order to prevent food shortages caused by natural and man-made disasters. Su Yonglin also knows that in the current social stage, as long as he controls the price of grain and salt, he can maintain the basics of society. Stablize.

After this system was established and implemented effectively, grain prices in various regions of the Ming Dynasty were indeed well controlled.

But this time, even grain prices have started to rise in parts of Shandong, and there have been no disasters that could affect grain production.

There are sufficient food reserves, no problems with market supply, no reports of disasters, no reports of refugees, but food prices are rising.

There is only one explanation.

The number of coins in circulation in the market has increased, and the more is not a little bit, not the normal lot with a prosperous nature.

Su Yonglin thought of a term that made him feel very unpleasant. He didn't want to think in that direction, but reality told him that this might be the case.

This group of people is very smart. They used a lot of money to legally flow into Shandong's private stalls, and secretly operated a wave, trying to hide the sky and turn dirty money into clean money.

If it weren't for the exact information of the [-]th Action Team, Su Yonglin would only think that his actions caused the price increase in Shandong, and would not pay too much attention.

Fortunately, these worms were sparsely sparse, revealing the fox's tail.

So Su Yonglin asked Hu Wei to continue to pay close attention to the price rises in Shandong, and reported to him on time, and then sent an order to the [-]th Action Team to inquire about the investigation status of the [-]th Action Team.

Su Yonglin, on the other hand, remained in Kaifeng to verify the accounts of Kaifeng, Xuzhou and Pizhou.

Su Yonglin guessed that his actions of going south and openly auditing the accounts will inevitably cause the people in Shandong to be nervous, and they will definitely do something in the near future to cope with their upcoming account verification of the Dongping branch and Jinan branch.

People make mistakes when they are nervous and anxious, but they don't know whether their mistakes can be detected by the Eleven Action Team.
