"Youwhat did you say?" Huang Lan's expression changed obviously. The Huang family did indeed do this. Otherwise, how could the Huang family come up with so much money? It would just be embezzlement from the treasury.
"What a good trick. This sky-high deposit was taken out from the government and then returned to the government. It was embezzled seamlessly, but because of this threshold, all businessmen were blocked out.
??Also, if the supervisory officials of the Peking Project hadn't threatened those workers with joint charges to stay and forced them to buy the Qu family's supplies, would you have been able to resume progress within half a month?
¡°The government has been doing this all along, and your Huang family has really ignored all responsibilities. Other businessmen are also paying attention to your Huang family, but they don¡¯t know that the government is paving the way for you.
Those sky-high security deposits haven¡¯t returned to the local government yet, have they? If someone says that the government has done so much, I am afraid that if the materials are handed over to the Huang family in the future, they will be criticized, right? Mr. Huang Lan, do you want to report this too? "
From the beginning, Liu Zhang and Fan Lixiang knew that the government had appointed businessmen, and there would be problems with fair bidding. Later, when these two conditions came out, Liu Zhang immediately thought of the positions tailor-made for some people in later generations. What heights range from 165 to 166. Which university did you graduate from, how old are you, etc.
Immediately, he sent someone to secretly start with the sky-high price of deposits and building materials, and quickly found two clues.
The government has been using both soft and hard tactics to keep all the manpower and material resources of the Qu family, while the Huang family on the other side is saying that they have the strength. In the end, the government must directly transfer the manpower and material resources of the Qu family to the Huang family.
¡°But because it seems reasonable and reasonable for the government to do this, no one will pursue it. They will just think that the Huang family is taking advantage of it.
And the deposit price at that price was even more secret. If he hadn't deliberately checked it, Liu Zhang would never have known that many local officials had opened doors for Huang Lan.
In order to make it seamless, Huang Lan reached agreements with many local officials. Let them lend the treasury funds they control to the Huang family and transfer them to the bank, and then tell the bank people in advance that they want to withdraw cash in Peiping, and ask the bank to escort the cash to Peking.
This matter has been done for a long time, and the date of the bidding has been accurately calculated. When the bidding time comes, the Huang family will of course be able to come up with a sky-high deposit.
But the sky-high deposit is just a deposit and will not be spent. The Huang family can still do it if they want to take over the Qu family's project. These sky-high deposits will be handed over to the Yamen of Peking Project Supervision. You can immediately return to other local government offices.
The whole process is nothing more than a trip to Peking with money from other local government officials. Without careful investigation, this matter will never be revealed.
Liu Zhang ordered Wang Lei to investigate and learned the news. I really gasped, and at the same time I was furious.
"A little Huang Lan actually dragged so many local officials into the water. If this case is thoroughly investigated, it will be unprecedentedly big and the consequences will be too serious.
But Liu Zhang soon figured out that Liu Zhang and Huang Yueying had anticipated this before. But it didn¡¯t attract much attention.
That is the problem of the quality of officials from poor backgrounds.
It¡¯s not that officials from poor families are necessarily of low quality, but officials who are suddenly promoted from the bottom are less resistant to the temptation of materials and money. It is definitely not as good as those officials who have inherited the family. This is an objective fact and there is no way to deny it.
Especially the lower-level officials of the Sichuan Army were more or less trained through assault. In order for them to quickly replace the noble clan, Liu Zhang used this method. Just like later generations, two examination subjects were given.
The first is to let these people know how to handle official documents, and the second is to have their own opinions on some things, that's all.
"These people are from poor families and even just literate people before. After being trained in the academy derived from Cui Zhouping, they took the exam unexpectedly. In order to prepare for the four civil service examinations, they will only learn these two subjects.
As a result, it is expected that many corresponding qualities cannot be cultivated. Most of them are inherently less resistant to materials than those who grew up in honey pots.
Liu Zhang didn¡¯t feel it before because these people had a sense of crisis and their inferiority did not break out.
They relied on the Sichuan Army to seize power from the noble families. If the Sichuan Army failed, everything they had would be in vain, so they all desperately hoped that the Sichuan Army would be strong.
The former Sichuan Army fully utilized the two advantages of these people, one is loyalty due to the sense of crisis, and the other is hard work and hard work.
But now, the Sichuan army dominates the world. Some of the aristocratic families were captured in Hebei and some were executed in Jiangdong. Six or seven hundred thousand of the aristocratic families formed in the Han Dynasty for four hundred years have been destroyed and their foundations have been uprooted. Liu Zhang is about to proclaim himself emperor.
What other concerns do they have?
?Perhaps, they think it¡¯s time for them to enjoy the good life.
?With this mentality, this appropriationThe library makes perfect sense.
First, the Huang family is so powerful that they must cooperate with the Huang family whether they want to improve or not fall.
Second, if Huang Lan seeks cooperation with them, he will definitely give them benefits, perhaps bribes or official positions. If they think they should enjoy it, it will be difficult for them to refuse.
Third, there is no risk in this matter at all, it is just a trip with the treasury¡¯s money.
There are no risks, and the benefits are huge. It¡¯s still helping the powerful, and only a fool would not do it.
Huang Lan was shocked as she listened to Liu Min's words. He really couldn't figure out how Liu Min could have such great energy and be able to find out what happened in another place and fully understand his plan.
Immediately, Huang Lan thought that it was not Liu Min who was asking for bribes at all, but Fan Lixiang. Fan Lixiang must have checked her identity. Although Fan Lixiang was only a general, as a veteran general of the Sichuan Army, he had been there before. Jingzhou served as state shepherd, and later he was in the military and political affairs of Xiahetao. How could it be possible without energy?
People say that this woman Fan Lixiang is sinister and vicious, Huang Lan finally sees it now.
"What do you want?" Now that Liu Min had told him the truth, Huang Lan decided to speak out. "Even Fan Lixiang can't bear with me. Let me tell you, the King of Shu is about to become emperor. You are making trouble." Big, implicating so many officials will not do you or Fan Lixiang any good."
"As expected, he is the person in charge of the Huang family's business. He is so smart that he guessed General Fan. Well, I won't lie to you. I did this just for General Fan.
Without further ado, I don¡¯t care how much benefit your Huang family gets, and General Fan and I don¡¯t want a penny from you, but you must suggest to your cousin Mr. Huang Quanhuang and his cousin Mrs. Huang Yuehuang that we, General Fan, should be recommended as pillars. General of the country. "
"General Zhu Guo? Fan Lixiang is a woman with such great ambitions." Huang Lan thought of the time in Jingzhou, when Fan Lixiang kept winning the hearts of the people for the sake of official position, and did not hesitate to be powerful and powerful. Sure enough, this woman was greedy for power.
"Given my General Fan's prestige among the people and his seniority in the Sichuan Army, General Zhu is really nothing."
"I can't promise you." Huang Lan said: "I am a businessman, how can I control my cousin and cousin."
"That's your business, I can't control it. Anyway, my general only cares about the results. Otherwise, you know the consequences."
"You" Huang Lan was shocked and angry, but now he realized that he had no choice. If Fan Lixiang, a power-hungry woman, revealed the matter, the consequences would be greater than those of other civil and military officials.
Because Fan Lixiang's prestige among the people was too high, once she was exposed, none of the officials involved would be able to escape. Liu Zhang was afraid of public opinion and would kill her.
But Liu Zhang was about to proclaim himself emperor, but he caused such an incident, forcing Liu Zhang to deal with officials in the face of turbulent public opinion. How good would his end be?
Huang Lan had no choice but to nod hard: "Okay, I agree."
Huang Lan thought to herself that Fan Lixiang's demands were indeed excessive, but Fan Lixiang also had her own capital, which was popularity, and she was the most powerful in Jingzhou, but later Liu Zhang completely trusted Fan Lixiang.
People's hearts can be big or small. If you don't care, you can ignore it. But if you want to be more serious, it doesn't matter if you make a Zhuguo general.
Huang Lan didn't dare to tell these nonsense directly. When the time comes, she can only find a way to blow the news to low-level officials and build momentum among the people. When everything is done, she can go and tell Huang Quan.
If the lower-level officials support and the people support Huang Quan's suggestion, plus Liu Zhang's trust in Fan Lixiang, we are very sure. If Huang Yue persuades him again, there should be a 90% chance.
It's just that Huang Lan also said "poof" in her heart like Li Cai. It's hypocritical to care for the people, and it's just for official status. Those untouchables who blindly follow are really ridiculous.
"In that case, please ask Mr. Huang Lan to sign this and put your fingerprint on it." Liu Min took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Huang Lan.
Huang Lan looked at it, her face turned purple and the veins on her hands were exposed: "Isn't that reasonable? Fan Lixiang wants to threaten me with this?"
On this piece of paper, all the charges were clearly written down, and many of the charges that could have been dismissed by the Huang family were placed on the Huang family.
For example, the government coerced the Qu family¡¯s workers and managers to stay, and coerced the Qu family to leave construction materials. Although these were hinted by the Huang family, they were not directly related. Now they are all on Huang Lan.
If this is announced, Huang Lan will not be able to escape if his head is beheaded.
"Threat? Where to start?" Liu Min said with a smile: "General Fan only wants general Zhuguo. As long as there is mutual benefit, when General Fan becomes general Zhuguo, if he uses this to threaten you, it will not be between himself andCan¡¯t you get through it yourself?
But if you don¡¯t have this and your Huang family closes the loopholes in the government, where will we, General Fan, find you? Will you, Huang Lan, help General Fan apply for an official position? "
Huang Lan frowned. She was so scheming. She really thought that. When the misappropriated treasury was filled, Fan Lixiang had nothing to threaten her.
By then, General Zhuguo? Just dream.
But Huang Lan discovered that Fan Lixiang and Liu Min were really impeccable. No wonder they were able to reach this day as a woman with no background.
