    More than ten days after He Lanxiong and Zhao Xilie had an in-depth talk and clearly divided their respective tasks, an inspection team from Jicheng broke the calm at the Mengchong Third Military Region headquarters.

    This is an inspection team led by the Ministry of Finance. According to the official document sent to He Lanxiong, the Ministry of Finance sent personnel to inspect the use of funds allocated by the imperial court to the Third Military Region this year.

    Nowadays, most of the needs of the Third Military Region still need to be supplied by the central government, including everyone¡¯s military salary. For ordinary people, the annual expenditure is indeed an astronomical figure. If someone is causing trouble and wants to enrich their own pockets, then it is indeed  It couldn't be easier.

    He Lanxiong waved the official document and said to Zhao Xilie: "There will be no problems with the use of funds, right? Is there any misappropriation or other situations? Wang Wucheng's subordinates all have the same temperament as him, and they love more serious people. This one is the financial  Deputy Minister Su Mo, Wang Wu¡¯s direct favorite general, is the most proficient in accounting. "

    "I'm sure there is no corruption, but misappropriation is a possibility. As you know, construction is going on everywhere in the Third Military Region. The budget prepared at the beginning of the year cannot be so accurate. Some projects have too many projects.  It¡¯s far from enough, so there must be a lot of things like using the extra money from certain projects to fill the gaps in other projects.¡± Zhao Xilie said: ¡°This shouldn¡¯t be a big deal, right?¡±

    He Lanxiong smiled bitterly: "Hurry up and have people tally up these situations to see if these loopholes can be plugged and earmarked for special use. This is what Wang Wudi repeatedly emphasized. Although it is understandable to move things to make up for things, but in the program  It is absolutely impossible to pass Su Mo's level. Even if it is impossible to make up for it, the accounts must be clear. "

    "Yes." Zhao Xilie felt somewhat disapproving.

    "Don't think that this is a small matter. If you offend these ancestors, next year's budget allocation will be greatly reduced. Maybe they will cut off many projects for you." He Lanxiong reminded.

    This reminder made Zhao Xilie wake up a little.  Now is the time when Northwest is spending money. If next year's plans are delayed because of this, it will be in big trouble.

    "I'll arrange for someone to do it right away, and I'll keep an eye on it myself."

    Three days later.  Deputy Minister of Finance Su Mo appeared with his team outside the headquarters of the Third Military Region in Mengchong. He Lanxiong led all the officials of the headquarters to welcome him out of the gate. Standing next to He Lanxiong was a man with two dark circles under his eyes.  Zhao Xilie.  In the past few days, he had been working day and night, and today he finally clarified some of the accounts. He was confident that this iron abacus would not find any flaws.

    The carriage opened with a clang, and Su Mo, who was wrapped like a bear, got out of the carriage with a tremble, and rubbed his nose for no apparent reason. Judging from the look on his face, he had really suffered a lot along the way.

    "Mr. Su, you've had a hard journey." He Lanxiong greeted him with a smile.  smiled.

    "Su Mo has met the commander." Su Mo's voice was a little hoarse and he saluted He Lanxiong. Although he was now considered an imperial envoy, he couldn't stand up to Commander He Lan at all, regardless of his background.  Whether it was seniority or position, the person in front of him was not comparable to him. What's more, he still respected the commander very much.

    Abandoned the good life in the prosperous areas of the Central Plains.  Coming to this place where birds do not lay eggs to colonize wasteland and develop it is not a decision that ordinary people can make decisively. For He Lanxiong to come to the northwest.  As the deputy minister of the Ministry of Finance, Su Mo also knew more or less the reason behind it.

    "You have suffered a lot along the way, haven't you?" He Lanxiong laughed and stepped forward to hold Su Mo's hand. "Let's go, let's go, I've laid out a banquet. Go in and have a few drinks and go away from the cold."

    "Okay, okay, I almost froze like a dog along the way. I thought Jishi County was cold enough, but I never thought that it would pale in comparison to here. Look at me  With this look, I just had to wrap the quilt around me." Su Mo said sheepishly. Normally, he is a very elegant person, but now it seems that there is no trace of grace at all.

    "It is indeed a bit cold here. In the first year, most of us were not used to it, but after staying for a long time, we got used to it. When our Commander Zhao first came here, he was half sick from the cold.  Months." He Lanxiong pointed at Zhao Xilie beside him.

    "Mr. Su, thank you for your hard work!" Zhao Xilie greeted enthusiastically.

    Su Mo looked at Zhao Xilie and said in surprise: "Deputy Commander Zhao, look at you like this, why do you look like you haven't slept for several days? Maybe you heard that Su is coming, so you are rushing to make false accounts!"

    Zhao Xilie and He Lanxiong were both dumbfounded. Su Mo was indeed the same as Wang Wu. He was smiling just now. In the blink of an eye, the old hen turned into a duck and fell out.

    "Su Bu"?This is an injustice to me. Zhao was originally out inspecting the wintering conditions of various farms. He received a letter from the commander and rushed back all night. Didn¡¯t he sleep all night? He turned out to be like this. He was laughing and laughing.  Got it!  "Zhao Xilie said with a calm smile.

    "Oh, that's really hard work. In fact, Su Mo's visit here is just a routine inspection by the Ministry of Finance. There is really no need for Deputy Commander Zhao to rush back like this." Su Mo chuckled.

    "How can this be done? Why do you say that Minister Su is also an imperial envoy? Why do we, local officials, have to fawn over us? Next year, we still expect the central government to take more care of us who are too poor to shit.  Where is the place!" Zhao Xilie stepped forward and took Su Mo's hand enthusiastically, shaking it.

    He Lanxiong was a little unaccustomed to Zhao Xilie's performance. He smiled and turned to look at the people who came with Su Mo. This sight made him startled. He saw a familiar face, but this face was not the same.  It shouldn't appear in the team of the Ministry of Finance. He blinked, leaned forward slightly, and took another careful look.

    Yes, it¡¯s him, Niu Ben, a former general under the Supervisory Yuan and now a senior official of the National Security Bureau. How did he get in among the Ministry of Finance¡¯s team?  Just as He Lanxiong took a step forward, Niu Ben, who was mixed in the team, suddenly shook his head gently at him. He Lanxiong stopped suddenly, took a deep breath, turned around, and looked at him as if he were still eating brown sugar.  Zhao Xilie and Su Mo, who were stuck together, said: "Xi Lie, please quickly ask Minister Su to come in. It's very windy and snowy outside. If you stay for a while, Minister Su won't get cold."

    "The commander is right, Minister Su, please come in, please come in!" Zhao Xilie said with a smile.

    As soon as he walked into the building, a warm and warm breeze rushed towards him. Su Mo couldn't help but be startled. He looked at the people coming and going inside the building. Most of them were only wearing jackets. They were He Lanxiong and He Lanxiong who were welcomed out earlier.  The same goes for Zhao Xilie and the two of them. If they were wrapped up, they would really look very strange at this moment.

    "Here?" He looked at He Lanxiong in surprise.

    He Lanxiong smiled proudly, "Come here, please undress Mr. Su."

    An officer stepped forward, took off Su Mo's thick coat, and stepped aside with a smile.

    "Mr. Su, this is a new type of heating equipment that has just been developed by a workshop in Jishi City. Is it good? Compared with the outside, there is another world inside, right?" He Lanxiong said proudly.

    "There is indeed another world. This kind of equipment is not even available in Jicheng!" Su Mo exclaimed: "Commander, is this the same in this building? Doesn't it cost a lot of money?"

    As soon as Deputy Minister Su mentioned money, He Lanxiong became wary: "It didn't cost much. This thing was put by the workshop here for me to do a test first to see what the effect is and how to improve it? You also know  , there are risks in trying out new things like this. Only us roughnecks like soldiers have the guts to use them. He really can¡¯t find them elsewhere. Besides, the fuel used in this thing is matchmaking.  We don¡¯t have much else in the northwest, but coal is everywhere. It¡¯s not worth the money.¡±

    "So that's it!" Su Mo nodded suddenly.

    The storm was raging outside, but it was warm as spring inside the building. It opened Su Mo's eyes. Compared with Jicheng, this place has a different scenery.

    In the building, a banquet had already been set up, and the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves. After having a good drink, Zhao Xilie arranged for Su Mo and his party to rest. Such a long distance and such weather, these people had to travel all the way.  It's hard work, even if you come here with the purpose of finding faults, you have to be energetic first before you can be motivated.

    "Commander, this Minister Su is difficult to deal with!" After arranging the group, they returned to He Lanxiong's residence, Zhao Xilie frowned and said.

    ¡°Of course it¡¯s difficult to deal with, but it doesn¡¯t matter. As long as everything is acceptable on the big picture and there is no corruption, it will be easy for us to pass this level.¡± He Lanxiong said with a smile.

    "Hey, you felt like you were facing a formidable enemy a few days ago, why are you so relaxed today?" Zhao Xilie said in confusion.

    He Lanxiong smiled mysteriously, "Xi Lie, are you okay now? Just sit with me for a while. Maybe after a while, we will have guests coming over."

    "Aren't all the guests asleep?"

    "This guest is a night owl. He will definitely not be able to sleep at this time and will definitely come to us." He Lanxiong said with a genuine smile.

    Before he finished speaking, there was a gentle knock on the door.

    "Come in, the door is open!" He Lanxiong said.

    The door was pushed open silently, and a figure flashed in. Zhao Xilie stared at him with wide eyes. Isn't this one of Su Mo's followers?

    "Introduce yourself!" He Lanxiong crossed his legs and looked at the visitor with a smile.

      "The National Security Bureau is running wild and has met its two commanders."

    He Lanxiong burst out laughing and jumped up, arms wide open, and gave the other party a fierce bear hug, "Commander Zhao, General Niu and I fought side by side on the Donghu battlefield before, and we are considered old comrades.  Niu Ben, what brought you, a senior member of the National Security Bureau, to come to me? Could it be that my Third Military Region has something you are interested in?" (~^~)
