He just took a look at the transactions of Shen Yang's Royal Bank account in the past six months, and then looked at this person's tax records and basic property investigation. The tax investigator's intuition told him that there was something wrong with this person, a big problem!
Three months ago, this person's bank balance was still limited to a few dozen taels, but three months later it exploded to thousands of taels, but the tax records remained the same.
In addition, Shen Yang purchased a two-story building with a courtyard in the business district near Yanjiang Road a month ago.
That place was still a wasteland four or five years ago, but now it is the commercial and residential area with the highest housing prices in Shanghai and even Songjiang Prefecture.
The market price of this two-story building with a courtyard is at least 5,000 taels!
Because this place is right on the riverside, next door is the commercial center of the entire business district, where a large number of large companies and government agencies are gathered, including the Shanghai Stock Exchange, Third Securities Company, Zhili Textile Bank, etc.
Therefore, this area attracts a large number of dignitaries and nobles to purchase properties, and the prices are getting higher and higher.
And Shen Yang is just the owner of a small noodle shop. Even if he sells the entire noodle shop and uses all his wealth, he probably won't be able to afford this two-story building!
And this person's cousin, who is from Shenyang, happens to be the project manager of the third phase of the terminal project of Shanghai Terminal Company. He was promoted just four months ago. He was just a deputy manager before.
There must be a problem here, a big problem!
Naturally, tax officials do not pay attention to or care about whether this person is corrupt, but judging from this person's tax discipline, it is the same as before. In other words, he suddenly obtained so much corruption income, but he did not Pay the appropriate taxes.
This, there is a problem.
Therefore, the tax investigation official Heijuku soon left with a lot of information. Next, he will conduct a detailed tax investigation on many senior executives of the Shanghai Terminal Company, including Shen Yang.
Chen Lifu could generally guess what the tax department would do, but he didn't care about it because he couldn't actually get involved in what happened next. After all, he was no longer from the tax department. , if you intervene rashly, you will be suspected of exceeding your authority. Those censors who are like hungry wolves will not let go of this opportunity. Even if they cannot bring any actual conviction to Chen Lifu, an impeachment is definitely indispensable. of.
Therefore, Chen Lifu now has to avoid suspicion.
After returning to the prefect's Yamen, he also began to be busy with other affairs of his own. After all, the matters with the Shanghai Terminal Company were just the first fire he had planned. In fact, this fire had already been lit, almost All the problematic management personnel have been arrested. Even if they cannot be convicted in the end, the worms of the Shanghai Terminal Company have been found out. And more importantly, this case has begun to be gradually reported, and This directly attracted the attention of the upper management, especially the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, which has been paying great attention to the new criminal facts exposed by the Shanghai Terminal Company.
Because they have realized that this kind of behavior is not just a matter of Shanghai Terminal Company, but may occur in all enterprises of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises.
However, employees of such enterprises use their own authority to use various contracts to harm the interests of the company, but they do not directly benefit from such contract transactions. Currently, Datang's laws do not have clear restrictions on this.
, so it is difficult to convict them.
This situation definitely cannot continue!
The Ministry of State-owned Enterprises has begun to conduct surprise internal investigations on almost all enterprises of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, and has also contacted the Economic Crime Department of the Patrol Department to conduct investigations.
Although today's legal framework cannot directly convict this kind of behavior, not every criminal suspect can have such a clear prevention mentality like the group of people at the Shanghai Terminal Company. As long as they can be found through this kind of contract transaction,
If they benefit directly or indirectly, they can be directly prosecuted for the crime of embezzlement of state-owned assets.
In fact, it is more troublesome to target employees employed by government-run enterprises. If they are officials of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, it will be much simpler. If there is clear evidence, they will be directly charged with corruption, bribery, and misappropriation of state-owned assets.
Even if they are not found to have benefited directly or indirectly, it doesn't matter. I think there is a crime of dereliction of duty against officials.
Because work errors caused heavy losses, this fully meets the sentencing standards for dereliction of duty!
This crime of dereliction of duty only targets officials, and this thing is also a big basket that can put basically anything in it. Basically, when something happens and officials need to be held responsible for it, this crime is indispensable.
However, regarding the handling of officials from the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, this is not a big problem. The Tang Dynasty was still in its early days, and all aspects were relatively positive and healthy. The tolerance for corruption was relatively low, as long as officials dared to do so.
, and if they are found out, most of them will be very, very unlucky.
It's just that the people who have problems now are not officials, but employees of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises. They are not affected by the crime of dereliction of duty, which is specifically targeted at officials.
This situation definitely cannot continue. After the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises learned of this case, on the one hand, it conducted an internal investigation, and on the other hand, it also directly began to promote the laws formulated by the Ministry of Justice.
Under the promotion of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, the Ministry of Law has already begun to prepare relevant laws to close this loophole.
From this, it can also be seen that the energy of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises is still relatively small.
In the early years of the empire, the most powerful one was actually not the Ministry of Taxation, but the Ministry of Industry. In the early days of the founding of the country, the Ministry of Industry was in charge of many government-run enterprises, produced all kinds of ordnance materials, and provided weapons, ammunition and almost everything for the unification war.
war supplies.
The Ministry of Industry back then had quite a lot of power, and it was because it had too much power that it was split.
The Ministry of Industry was directly split into two departments, and almost all government-owned enterprises and corresponding affairs were separated. Then the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises was established, and the remaining construction and other affairs were left to the Ministry of Industry.
After the split, the Ministry of Industry basically became only the construction department, mainly responsible for large-scale projects promoted by the state such as roads, water conservancy, and urban infrastructure.
The Ministry of State-owned Enterprises inherited most of the power from the Ministry of Industry, that is, government-run enterprises. These government-run enterprises played a very important role during the Unification War, which directly led to the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises having a very strong influence.
Although the Unification War is over now and the influence of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises has declined, as an organization in charge of all government-run enterprises in the empire, the influence of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises is still very huge.
The current industrial development of the Tang Empire is only in the preliminary stage. In the preliminary stage, private capital usually does not invest in heavy industries, because heavy industries represent large investments and slow returns, such as the most representative steel industry.
, there are not many private capitals involved at present, there are occasionally a few private capitals, but generally the scale is not large.
Because the current steel industry has relatively high entry barriers. Throw in tens of thousands of taels of silver and you won't get any trouble. If you don't have hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to build a large steel plant, you can't even expect to succeed.
.
However, there are actually not many private capitals that can afford so much money. Even if there is, people are more willing to invest their money in light industries such as the textile industry, which has quick returns and huge profits.
Nowadays, industry and commerce are in a period of rapid development. Any factory they build can make a lot of money. They don't have to invest in heavy industries that require huge investments and can take more than ten years to recover the cost.
Of course, another huge problem is that they can't find so many technical talents.
Therefore, in the current Tang Empire, state-owned capital accounts for more than 90% of the heavy industry. In the representative steel industry, steel companies affiliated to the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises account for more than 95%.
This does not mean that the number of government-run steel companies is large, but that their output is large. In fact, there are not 100 but 80 steel companies organized by private capital. Basically, they can be found in many places, but these private steel companies
Capital steel companies are generally small steel plants. The combined steel output of almost all private steel plants is not as good as that of a Jiangnan Steel Company!
The Ministry of State-owned Enterprises basically represents the heavy industry and new industries of the Tang Empire. Although its voice has decreased in the past two years, it is still very high. If they want to promote relevant laws, they will naturally do it quickly.
many.
At least, it will be much faster than local officials like Chen Lifu pushing it!
However, the man who dug the well should not be forgotten. Chen Lifu, as the first official to find out this problem, naturally inevitably came into the upper class's sight again.
Even Qian Zuili, the Minister of Taxation and the Minister on Duty in the Royal Study Room, couldn't help but exclaimed after hearing this: "This person just likes to cause trouble!"
When Chen Lifu was in the tax department, he often made trouble and made troubles, and thousands of people died for it.
I went to work in the Financial Department of the Ministry of Finance. In just a few months, I also implemented a securities reform, which directly affected the development of the entire financial industry. There are also many financial elites who jumped off the building because of this reform plan.
.
Now I have gone to Songjiang Prefecture to become a deputy. Logically speaking, although such a local deputy position still has actual authority, it is usually not too large. The local leader will not let his deputy go.
Those who cause trouble, because even if they want to cause trouble, it is the responsibility of the top leader. If those deputies want to surpass the top leader and gain political achievements by themselves, they will suppress you in minutes.
