Chapter 1120 There is a problem, and it is a big problem
When the Holy Emperor summoned Qian Zuili and Song Ruangao, no one knew what he said. Naturally, no one knew, and the two parties involved, Qian Zuili and Song Ruangao, also kept silent about the matter.
As for the Holy Emperor, naturally no one dared to ask anything from the Holy Emperor.
Therefore, no outsider knows what the Holy Emperor said at that time.
In fact, the matter is not as mysterious as the outside world reports. The Holy Emperor Li Xuan also scolded these two people, but this scolding was not meant to scold them for corruption or anything like that, but to scold their way of doing things.
inappropriate, thus causing political turmoil.
Now the battle between Qian Zuili and Song Ruangao has just begun. They have made the Financial Department a mess. Even other agencies and departments of the Ministry of Finance are panicking, because no one knows whether the Financial Department will be...
My department is under attack.
Li Xuan doesn't like seeing turbulence very much. He likes stability and balance.
Struggles between ministers are unavoidable. Li Xuan rarely interferes in the struggles between ministers. Most of the time, he just pretends not to see or hear. As long as it does not affect the official business, those ministers will quarrel with each other.
Not a thing.
But now the struggle between Qian Zili and Song Ruangao obviously goes beyond talking. It is not the kind where one or two people are pulled down, but almost the entire Financial Department is pulled down.
It is normal for officials in the Financial Department to be corrupt and derelict in their duties. Li Xuan himself knows it. After all, the Financial Department is the helm of the empire's financial industry. Those officials deal with banks and securities companies every day to make some money.
Too easy.
But just like what Chen Lifu said in the brochure, such rectification of the Financial Department definitely needs to be rectified, but strong medicine cannot be used and must be taken slowly. If the entire Financial Department is taken over by one brain, then it will be detrimental to the empire.
If the financial industry is hit too hard, it will cause instability in the financial industry.
After beating Qian Zuoli and Song Ruangao and asking them to work honestly and stop thinking about eliminating dissidents all day long, the Financial Department and even the entire Ministry of Finance have entered a stable transition period.
Although at that time, less than half of the senior management of the Financial Department had been eliminated, the general framework was finally maintained.
At this time, Chen Lifu also showed off his ruthless methods!
He used to do the job of arresting people. Although he has changed his career now, there are still many ways to punish people. In addition, Chen Lifu did not go on a killing spree, he just let his subordinates stabilize their work, so even the director of the Financial Department
The director was absent, and the deputy director-general on the left complained of illness. However, under the leadership of him, the deputy director-general on the right, the Financial Department still maintained stability and carried out normal business.
However, the impact is still there, but it has been suppressed to the minimum.
However, he also felt the pressure from both Qian Zuili and Song Ruangao. The simplest example is that instead of thanking him for ending the turmoil in the Financial Department, the officials of the Financial Department began to ostracize him. Although
I don't dare to do things in a secretive way, but I'm not that efficient either.
Because these officials either originally belonged to Qian Qili's faction or were recently installed by Song Ruangao, they were not very interested in Chen Lifu's behavior of directly exposing the conflicts between the two parties in front of the Holy Emperor.
This is actually a common thought among many officials!
They feel that the Holy Emperor is superior, and these matters among their ministers should not easily disturb the Holy Emperor. They can solve it internally. If everything requires the Holy Emperor to take action, what kind of existence do these ministers have?
the value of?
Well, this idea is actually to put it bluntly, it still wants to limit the power of the monarch.
This has also been a tradition of civil servants for thousands of years. In fact, ministers and emperors are often in a game of competition for power.
As the emperor, Li Xuan naturally tried every means to maintain the monarchy and limit the autonomy of his ministers. In recent years, he has done well by relying on the prestige of unifying the world and various systems. The power of the empire is firmly in his hands.
.
However, although those ministers were loyal to Li Xuan, it did not mean that they would not fight for power and gain.
Otherwise, there would be no cabinet meeting.
The so-called cabinet meeting is actually a meeting where ministers from various cabinet ministries gather to discuss matters. Li Xuan did not attend.
The cabinet meeting that Li Xuan attended was called the imperial cabinet meeting. The two were completely different in nature.
To put it simply, when encountering any major matters, a cabinet meeting will be held within the cabinet, and then the ministers in the imperial study will communicate privately and strive to reach an agreement. If an agreement can be reached, then this will
Things usually don't take much trouble, and then they are discussed in the imperial cabinet meeting, where the final bayonet fight is carried out, and the outcome is determined in one fell swoop.
Of course, for some major matters, matters related to the interests of various departments, it is basically impossible to reach an internal agreement, and in the end it will be brought to the imperial court.
However, strictly speaking, these things are relatively few, but each one is a major event that can affect the future of the empire.
If everything is reported to the cabinet and then discussed in the imperial cabinet meeting, let alone Li Xuan, even these ministers can't expect to do anything else all day long, twelve hours a day, every day
There is not enough time to hold imperial cabinet meetings all the time.
This political environment is the continuation of the tradition of civilian politics formed over thousands of years. Even in the Tang Empire, Li Xuan was so strong that it was unavoidable. It can only be said that the negative impact was minimized.
Under such circumstances, Chen Lifu brought matters concerning the Finance Department directly to the imperial court. To a certain extent, this was breaking the unspoken rules of officialdom. It was reasonable for others not to want to see him.
But does Chen Lifu care?
He doesn't care!
Before he submitted the letter, he knew that he would become a thorn in the side of Qian Zuoli and Song Ruangao, so he chose to be a lone minister!
As long as the Holy Emperor continues to value him, this matter is nothing!
Chen Lifu was busy in the Financial Department. Although the work was not going well, he finally stabilized the Financial Department. At this time, Deputy Director Zuo of the Financial Department saw that the situation was stable and immediately recovered from his illness and returned to the Financial Department.
Sitting on duty.
At this time, under the personal instructions of Emperor Sheng, the Ministry of Civil Affairs also rearranged the appointment of a director of the Department of Finance.
This situation made Chen Lifu breathe a sigh of relief. The Financial Department was finally on the right track, and he no longer had to worry about falling into a ditch one day and being unable to stand up.
As for taking this opportunity to be promoted and become deputy director-general or even acting director-general, Chen Lifu had never thought about this at all. He had just been promoted and could not be promoted again. This was against the rules of the imperial officialdom.
The Financial Department has initially stabilized, and Chen Lifu is focusing on his essential work!
As the right deputy director, he needs to be in charge of the Securities Department. In other words, his main job in the future is to manage the domestic securities industry. Because of the turmoil in the Financial Department, he did not even have time to understand the domestic securities industry.
Now, it is necessary to put this matter on the agenda and then achieve results.
Because the director of the Securities Department is still in prison, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs is unable to arrange for officials to take up posts, the Securities Department is now leaderless, and Chen Lifu can only roll up his sleeves and join the job himself.
.
First, the deputy director was asked to preside over the work on his behalf, and then Chen Lifu began to understand the work of the Securities Department.
The Securities Division of the Financial Department of the Ministry of Finance is in charge of the imperial securities industry. It has two main business directions. One is to manage various domestic funds and securities companies engaged in stock and bond transactions, and the other is to manage two domestic stock exchanges.
, respectively the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Guangzhou Stock Exchange.
Facing a large number of reports, Chen Lifu was not as daunted as others, but turned to countless files. He wanted to understand the basic situation of the entire domestic securities industry from these reports.
The more he understood, the more problems Chen Lifu discovered!
Damn, the former director of the Securities Department was arrested and imprisoned. I heard that he was sentenced to life, and then he was exiled to Luzon for mining. Although it is said that this person ended up like this because of Song Ruangao's contribution, but this time
People are still really not that good.
If you want to make money, make money, but why make the domestic securities industry so chaotic? The entire securities trading market is almost full of illegal transactions. Those big bookmakers use funds and inside information to raise and suppress stock prices.
The back and forth cutting of leeks has caused heavy losses to ordinary investors.
Illegal operations are normal, but if they are carried out so arrogantly that three months ago the bosses of three small investment institutions collectively committed suicide by jumping into the Huangpu River, then there is a problem.
If he hadn't read the internal report of the Securities Department, he wouldn't have known that three months ago, there was a violent fluctuation in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, in which more than ten stocks experienced extremely abnormal surges and plummets.
The result was that more than a dozen small investment institutions went bankrupt!
The bosses of three of the companies were so overwhelmed that they collectively committed suicide by jumping into the Huangpu River.
Although the bosses of these small investment institutions are not good people, those large institutions have gone too far, and Chen Lifu himself can't stand it anymore.
Well, of course, there is also one of them. Three months ago, he also heard from his housekeeper that a fund company invested by his family suffered heavy losses. Tens of thousands of taels of silver invested in the stock market were gone, and there was not even a hair left.
remain.
Damn it, even Chen Lifu's money was cheated by others in the stock market, let alone other people's money.
There must be a problem here, and it's a big problem!
