Yu Qian and Yin Qingbo both sat down, and the scene soon became quiet. Yang Chendong, who was seated in position C, finally spoke. "Today, I called you to explain to you about Yan xiusan, and let you explain to me."

Finally talking about business, the courtyard was quiet. Under the sign of Yang Chendong, Yang Er behind him took a stack of signed names, and then the handwritten manuscripts were sent to everyone one by one. "You can see, this is the testimony of Yan Xiu and Wan'an. After interrogation, they confessed to the private withholding of grain from the Han people's reserve camp. After investigation, the grain privately withheld from them was finally transformed into the market, with a total profit of 28000 taels of silver, which was finally shared equally between them."

When it came to this, everyone in the hospital took a deep breath. Twenty eight thousand Liang, two people share equally, that is, one person gets fourteen thousand Liang, which has exceeded the maximum greedy limit of ten thousand Liang. Needless to say, it will die.

The performance of all the people fell into Yang Chendong's eyes. Although he knew that these people already knew what they meant, he still said: "In view of the seriousness of this case, Wang decided to execute the execution in front of the central square of chixian city in three days. At the time of introduction, the first, second and third leaders of all departments of chixian city should go to watch. If other cadres have nothing important to attend, everyone has no problem?"

"No, No." knowing that Yang Chendong wanted to frighten other officials by this matter, everyone nodded and agreed.

"OK, everyone has no problem, so we won't waste time on these two moths. Let's talk about other people's problems with you. According to the investigation, Zhou Hua, Minister of civil affairs, was aware of this matter. Although he insisted on the principle and didn't collude with Yan Xiu and others, he clearly knew that he didn't stand up to stop it for the sake of the so-called harmony among his colleagues , this is the crime of inaction. "

This is the first time that the crime of inaction has been introduced into everyone's ears. For a moment, everyone was a little puzzled.

In this regard, Yang Chendong quickly gave them the answer. "In my opinion, the so-called officials are nothing more than three. One is the officials with problems. They either abuse their power for personal gain or take bribes. Such officials are called bad officials; the second is to be able to set an example and work diligently. Such people can be called good officials; but at the same time, there is also the third kind, that is to be a monk and hit the clock every day, and win and win Live a good life. Adhering to the idea that it's none of your own business and hanging high, you won't stop or participate in anything wrong. You just want to live steadily and properly. This is the official of inaction. When they have a problem, the king calls him the crime of inaction. "

Zhou Hua is such a leader. He noticed some disgraceful actions of his deputy Yan Xiu, but he didn't stop them. He didn't point them out, let alone report them, and let the situation continue. What's the difference between such a person and an accomplice? It's also a sin to hold such a high salary, enjoy the aura of respect, but don't do what should be done. So I've been there for him personally We have chosen 50 mu of good farmland outside the city of chixian, and we will obediently farm in the future. There is no need to consider other people's feelings. If we plant well, we will have more harvests, if we don't plant well, we will have less laziness. I think this is very suitable for him. "

A crime of inaction turned a senior official at the ministerial level back to the common people. This punishment can't be said to be too heavy. For a moment, Yu Qian and others had a burst of sweat on their faces. But at the same time, they also had a deeper understanding of Yang Chendong's attitude towards officials, that is, even if you are in this position, you should do what you should do in this position. If you want to steal Lazy, even want to do nothing to muddle through, it is obviously impossible.

Zhou Hua's case was settled. Then Yang Chendong named and criticized shen you, Wu Qian and long Tienan. The first two were responsible for the self-discipline of officials, but the corrupt officials in front of him didn't notice it. This was dereliction of duty and oversight, so he was fined two months; long Tienan, as the direct leader of Wan'an, also committed the crime of dereliction of oversight and was fined three months.

After making these decisions, Yang Chendong looked at the three and asked, "what's the matter? Do you have any opinion on such punishment?"

"No." The three said with one voice. Although they did feel wronged, there were so many cadres in the Yang Department, especially in several provinces, who needed supervision. It was impossible to do everything. But even Zhou Huadu was stripped of his official clothes and became an ordinary farmer because of his inaction. What did they get if they were fined a few months' salary?

The three of them had no opinion. Yang Chendong immediately looked at Yu Qian and said: "The city Lord has done something meritorious. Because he has done something meritorious, the king has arranged a chair for you. After all, without you, the matter could not be revealed so quickly. But at the same time, you are the recommender of Zhou Hua. You have obvious responsibility for negligence, so the king will punish you for half a year's salary. Do you have any opinion?"

Yu Qian had already stood up and had always been upright. At this moment, there was a trace of virtual sweat on his forehead, "I have no opinion. The king of Wunan did the right thing."

"Well, the crime has been punished. As a meritorious person, you'd better continue to sit down." Yang Chendong's voice is full of concern. There's no way. He made rules at the beginning. If there's a problem with the recommender, the recommender will be jointly and severally liable. Seriously, it's just that Yu Qian's salary for half a year is the lightest.

After all the questions were finished, Yang Chendong's eyes finally fell on Yin Qingbo and said, "Vice Minister Yin."

"Subordinates are here." Yin Qingbo got up in a hurry and looked uneasy. After listening for a long time, he didn't find out why he was here. If he is guilty, he should stand, but if he is meritorious, where is his merit?

"Sit down, sit down, you are a meritorious person, so the king gave you a seat. Others are the same. I hope you can sit down and talk next time you see the king." Yang Chendong stretched out his hand and motioned Yin Qingbo to sit down again. He didn't forget to mention Shen you and others with this matter. These words attracted the three people to nod together.

Feeling that what should be mentioned had been mentioned, Yang Chendong turned to the right and looked at Yin Qingbo and said, "the reason why you are meritorious is that someone came to you privately to sell food to you a while ago, and you said no. afterwards, you wanted to find this person, but there was no clue, right?"

"Ah! How does the sixth young master know this?" Yin Qingbo was stunned by these words. There are indeed things. After all, he is a vice minister in charge of logistics in the city master's office, who is in charge of the distribution of food. Because of this, someone wanted to sell food directly to him, but he refused at that time. The more he thought about it later, the more wrong he was. Thinking about what would be involved in this matter, he wanted to find out the people who had found him and find out the truth of the problem.

Just with his power, how difficult it is to find that person. He also suffered from the lack of any evidence to prove the existence of this matter, and he had no way to report to the Ministry of supervision and the Ministry of anti-corruption. In the end, he could only know nothing. But he really couldn't understand how Yang Chendong knew about it.

Facing Yin Qingbo with a confused face, Yang Chendong quickly gave him the answer, "you don't have to think about it. The person who was looking for you was sent by Wan'an, a vice minister of the Ministry of public security. He doesn't want to expose himself. There are really few people who can find him."

This explanation made Yin Qing Bolton understand what happened that day, and said with a guilty face: "sixth young master, his subordinates also have responsibility for this matter. If there was no evidence and there was no way to report to the relevant departments, I would have done so long ago. Maybe the situation that happened in the Han people's preparatory camp would not be solved until now."

"No, it's not your fault. You used your actions to prevent worse things from happening. I'm afraid you don't know. Yan Xiu and Wan'an were going to deduct more food, but because they couldn't find a suitable market, they just sold a small amount of food in every rice shop in the city, which was only 20% deduction. From this point of view, you are already a meritorious person. And I also sent you I've done an investigation. When you were the second logistics director of the city Lord's residence, you set an example in everything and were decent. Well, as a reward, you can be the Minister of the Ministry of civil affairs. "

It's not as simple as the promotion of an official to three levels. The decision was stunned. As we all know, there are three deputy ministers of the Ministry of Civil Affairs who are quite capable. They can be regarded as being themselves. They should also be strong candidates for ministerial competition. Now, it's a blow to the hearts of the people to parachute a deputy logistics director of the city Lord's residence to the post of minister.

It seems that Yang Chendong saw what people thought, and said: "A matter of the Ministry of Civil Affairs has caused problems for both the minister and the vice minister. As their colleagues, other vice ministers also have the responsibility of negligence. Not promoting them is a punishment for them. If anyone has an opinion, he can come directly to the king. The king is willing to say it well with him."

This remark shows his dissatisfaction, but it also means to connect seats.

Even the seat was most famous in the Qin Dynasty. It was first created by the famous reformer Shang Yang, which means that if several families have the same seat and one person has a problem, everyone is guilty. To say that this policy has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that when things go wrong, we can think of the role of mutual supervision. The disadvantage is that it often involves the innocent and eventually forces the elderly to become bad people. Yang Chendong knows the pros and cons of this, so he talks about even seats, but he won't be so solid. If he doesn't punish or promote, he won't panic people.
