"This... we can't make rash guesses. Maybe we bought 2,500 shi of grain first and used the remaining money elsewhere.: There may be a misunderstanding in the novel [ ]." Zhao Bingjun's face was gloomy.
At this time, I have to explain it anyway, after all, this matter has directly affected me.
He signed the appropriation and appointed the special commissioner. He also knew the virtues of the special commissioner. Private use of public funds has been criticized by officials for hundreds of years. The central government is still good. If
When the local government handles affairs, the kind of corruption and expropriation is not as detailed as one point or two.
"Mr. Zhao, the reason why I came to you to talk about this matter first is because I don't want this matter to get too big. You should know very well that when things get so big, any extraneous changes can cause an uproar. Now the President
He is very worried about the congressional election. Although he is quite concerned about Yuan Zijing, his nephew, it is nothing in the face of national events, so there is no need to make drastic measures." Zhang Yichi said seriously.
To be honest, he is also very impatient with Yuan Su. Ever since the president recognized this nephew, he has not been peaceful for a day. First he made trouble in Luanzhou, then in Tongyong Town, and now he is still making trouble.
Shanhaiguan. As the saying goes, there must be no storm without fire. Yuan Su must have done something excessive, so Wu Chenglu jumped over the wall in a hurry.
However, he really didn't know what excessive things Yuan Su had done. Not long ago, Yuan Su even drafted a special telegram to report on the so-called collusion with foreigners, just to build the Yanghe Reservoir and Nandaihe Seaport projects.
, they just need to cooperate with foreigners in all aspects. From his understanding, these two projects are indeed good things that benefit the country and the people. Cooperation with foreigners is obviously due to domestic technical and financial inadequacies.
Judging from the information currently available, it is very likely that Yuan Su really wanted to thoroughly investigate corruption and embezzlement, so he made the matter a big deal. [] Even though embezzlement and embezzlement are violations of discipline, who in the country does not want to do this?
Is it cheaper? The way to be an official is to be red if you are close to red and black if you are close to ink. How can you get ahead if you can't see through this?
To take a step back, even if the matter of corruption and embezzlement is to be investigated, there is no need to make such a big fuss. It can only be said that Yuan Su is really ignorant of worldly affairs.
"What Mr. Zhang said is absolutely true. Nowadays, the north-south pattern seems to be incompatible with each other. The congressional election is the top priority. The disaster in Shanhaiguan was not too serious in the first place. There is no need to let the matter get bigger and bigger. So, according to Mr. Zhang
What do you mean, how should we deal with this matter?" Zhao Bingjun said in agreement. He had to say that if the big issue could be reduced to a small one, that would be just what he wanted.
"Since Mr. Zhao also hopes to deal with this matter as soon as possible, let's simply issue an order to relieve Yuan Zijing from the post of Commander-in-Chief of Disaster Relief, and let Wu Zhenshou send someone to send him back to Luanzhou. The subsequent disaster relief work at Shanhaiguan will be fully handed over to Wu Zhenshou.
That's it. Look, how about this?" Zhang Yiqi expressed his opinion.
Zhao Bingjun thought for a while and saw that Zhang Yichen's solution was to avoid embarrassment on both sides. This was indeed a good compromise. But the problem was that what he was most worried about was that either Yuan Su or Wu Chenglu would not understand the matter.
, insisting on producing a reasonable result.
"Mr. Zhang, this method is not impossible, but isn't the order a little too strict?"
"Then, what does Mr. Zhao mean?" Zhang Yichen asked.
"Why don't we let Wu Chenglu send Yuan Su to Beijing? No matter whether Yuan Su has done anything illegal or not, as long as it doesn't cause too much trouble, we can just let it go. He will stay in Beijing for a while, and then
Let him go back to Luanzhou." Zhao Bingjun suggested. His starting point is that when resolving this matter, it can be shown that it is an order from the central government, so as to prevent anyone from being resentful.[]
When Zhang Yichen heard this, his face immediately became serious. Even if he didn't know Zhao Bingjun's true intention, Zhao Bingjun's proposal was obviously suspected of favoritism. If the central government ordered Wu Chenglu to escort Yuan Su to the capital, it would have been indirect.
It means that the central government believes that Yuan Su has a problem. Yuan Su may indeed have made some mistakes, but on the surface, it is clear that Wu Chenglu was the first to embezzle and embezzle, and even Zhao Fangyu was not able to escape the involvement.
On the one hand, there is no real evidence, and on the other hand, the evil deeds are clear. Even if the central government wants to pay attention to the evidence and conduct in-depth investigations, the people will not care so much.
He originally hoped that both sides would take a step back and settle the matter as soon as possible, but Zhao Bingjun actually wanted to find a more honorable step for himself and Zhao Fangyu to go down.
"Master Zhao, would Yuan Zijing be willing to issue an order like this? You have to be clear. This message was sent from Luanzhou. Yuan Zijing is also the military envoy of Dongzhili after all. He worked hard to preside over disaster relief, and it was not easy for him to do so.
After stabilizing the situation, now that something like this has happened, do you still want to invite him to the capital?" Zhang Yichen raised his tone and said seriously.
"Mr. Zhang, I'm just worried that Yuan Su will be unconvinced. If he is unconvinced and continues to cause trouble, how will it end?" Zhao Bingjun said seriously.
"If Yuan Zijing is not convinced and you invite him to the capital, he will definitely make a big fuss in the capital. At that time, even if we want to suppress this matter, we will not be able to suppress it. Don't you still think about this, Mr. Zhao?
Can't you see? My meaning is already very obvious, which is to return this matter to the state before it happened. Yuan Zijing no longer has to worry about disaster relief, and Wu Zhenshou does not have to conflict with anyone anymore. Everything will return to normal." Zhang.
Said in a serious voice.
"Well, well, well, well, just do what you want, Mr. Zhang. Who will sign this order?"
"Since we don't want to alarm the president, of course it should be signed by the cabinet."
Zhao Bingjun sighed helplessly and nodded deeply. Only now did he realize that the position of Prime Minister is not easy to sit on. Even if it is a small matter, as long as it passes through his hands, it may become a career change.
a hidden danger.
The order issued by the Prime Minister's Office was sent to the Shanhaiguan garrison office in the evening of the next day. In addition, a copy was also sent to Luanzhou. After receiving the order, He Qigong immediately forwarded it to Beidaihe and asked Chen Wenian to take it.
Following the order, he quickly went to welcome Commander Yuan out.
In fact, even without this order, the pressure in Wu Chenglu's heart has been increasing day by day. The most troublesome thing is not that foreigners have been eyeing and interfering, but that the situation of refugees is becoming increasingly unmanageable. Hekou Town and Shuitou Town are just one
At first, in the next two days, more and more refugees crowded towards Linyu County, and more people gathered in front of the Shanhaiguan City Gate.
As autumn is approaching, many crops have not been able to be harvested, but have even been trampled and destroyed by refugees. As early as two months ago, the landlord class in villages and towns in remote areas suffered huge losses, but after all, it is a remote area.
, they are just small landowners and small wealthy households, and there is still room for perfunctory treatment.
However, during this period, refugees were approaching the county town more and more, causing many large landowners and prominent families in nearby areas to suffer frequent disasters. The loss of farmland was secondary. These large landowners and large families had some food reserves to survive. However, some livestock and breeding companies
The losses suffered by the property are far more serious than the land. After working hard for so many years, everything was robbed overnight. When you think about this loss that was originally avoidable, who can bear this sigh of relief?
?
In the past two days, many protesting crowds suddenly appeared at the gates of the county government and the garrison office. At first, it was just the gentry and landowners who encouraged the people to vent their dissatisfaction. Later, the gentry and landowners even went to the battle in person to wave flags and shout.
The rebellion and criticism by local forces was undoubtedly the most serious blow to Wu Chenglu's foundation. Wu Chenglu never dreamed that the refugee problem would be like a wilderness burned by wildfire, not only coming back from the dead, but even becoming more serious than the last.
Wu Chenglu's subordinates once suggested using force to disperse those who gathered to make trouble, but Wu Chenglu knew very well that what he lacked now was the credibility of the local commander. From the riots of refugees outside the city to the complaints of the common people in the city, there were now many more landowners.
Class anger is already a very dangerous situation. If strong measures are taken to suppress it at this time, even if it can be temporarily calmed, it will only deepen the anger in people's hearts.
Therefore, when the central government's message was sent to the Shanhaiguan Governor's Office, Wu Chenglu breathed a sigh of relief.
He doesn't like power struggles in the first place. Everything he does is to protect his personal interests. As long as this matter can be resolved as soon as possible, he doesn't care how to deal with Yuan Su. With this order from Beijing, both sides have no control over each other.
There is always a step to go down. Now he only needs to start making arrangements to send Yuan Su back to Luanzhou and send this plague god away.
Before further negotiations with Yuan Su, Wu Chenglu specially sent people to the county government to ask the county magistrate Wu Like to inform the central government of the order to stabilize people's hearts. At the same time, he also sent people to the camp of the Commander-in-Chief of Disaster Relief.
Transfer all documents and files of Yuan Su who presided over the disaster relief work before, and do a good job in handing over the disaster relief work.
In order to show his dedication to disaster relief work, he also announced that from now on, the food supply conditions of all porridge factories will be improved. All refugees who come to receive porridge will receive an extra pound of rice. This will begin before the end of the month.
Organize a second batch of refugee evacuation work, and the money and food distributed in the second batch of evacuation will be more than the first batch.
After making these arrangements, Wu Chenglu came to the side courtyard to meet with Yuan Su.
