"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 921
"Greetings, Marshal."
Qin An, Chief of the Qinghe Army's Political Affairs Office, saw Chen Ziang striding forward, and together with Deputy Commander Meng Jianbo, he hurriedly stood up and saluted.
Chen Zi'ang is now the commander-in-chief of the Qinghe Army, and he has commanded the army to win battles on the battlefield.
Deputy Commander Meng Jianbo used to be on an equal footing with Chen Ziang, and he was also slightly older than Chen Ziang.
Chen Ziang is so powerful that Meng Jianbo can only look up to him. Meng Jianbo was not used to it at first, but now he has changed his mentality and saluted Chen Ziang respectfully. Everything feels so natural.
After all, this is an era where the weak prey on the strong, and strength also determines status, and Meng Jianbo has to admit this.
"Please sit down."
After Chen Ziang walked to the first seat in the living room and sat down, he pressed his hands down to signal Qin An and the others to sit down.
"You came here early in the morning, is there anything special?"
After Chen Ziang picked up the tea and took a sip, he turned his attention to Qin An and Meng Jianbo who were sitting upright.
"Marshal, I'm here to plead guilty to you, and please punish me, Marshal."
While speaking, Qin An, the Chief of the Administrative Affairs Department, stood up with a face full of guilt.
"What are you guilty of?"
Seeing Qin An standing there, Chen Ziang was also full of doubts.
"Commander, I already know what happened in Luo County. That Wu Chong cheated, ran rampant in the village, and disregarded human life. It can be said that he is full of evil."
"As the chief minister of state affairs, I committed the crime of negligence. I have failed the commander-in-chief's trust in me, and I ask the commander-in-chief to punish me. I am willing to disarm and return to the field from now on, in order to thank the marshal for the crime of negligence."
Qin An, Chief of Political Affairs, only found out about Wu Chong, Deputy Chief of Political Affairs of Luo County, last night.
When he learned that Wu Chong not only embezzled the land, but also raised private soldiers, monopolized Luo County's large and small industries, purchased military equipment, and a series of other things, he was also quite frightened.
You must know that he is not only the Chief of Government Affairs of the Government Affairs Office, who nominally governs all the prefectures and counties under the Qinghe Army, but also the Chief of Government Affairs of Jiangbei Province.
And Luo County belongs to Ming'an Mansion in Jiangbei Province, and he is also to blame for such a thing happening now.
Now, on the one hand, he is taking the initiative to plead guilty to Chen Ziang, and at the same time, he puts forward a suggestion to apologise, which is also a kind of test for Chen Ziang, to see if Chen Ziang has any objections to him.
After all, when he heard that Chen Ziang established the Southeast Government, he felt a deep sense of crisis.
"As the chief minister of state affairs, you are indeed negligent this time."
Seeing Qin An standing there pleading guilty, Chen Ziang couldn't help but sigh.
After all, he trusted Qin An, he focused on military affairs, and handed over the full power of government affairs to Qin An.
If he hadn't bumped into the Luo County incident, maybe there would be such a big mess by then.
At that time, Chen Ziang was indeed very angry, thinking that it was the dereliction of duty of the Chief of Political Affairs, Qin An.
But after he returned to Yunxi Mansion, Chen Ziang also changed his mind, because he knew that it was really hard to blame Qin An for this matter.
As the Chief of Political Affairs, Qin An manages a myriad of things. If he can do all kinds of things well, then he is not Qin An, but a god.
There are hundreds of people of all kinds, and this time the incident in Luo County can't be blamed on one person, because it is impossible for Qin An to stare at every place all the time, and there are always omissions.
And this incident also exposed a serious problem, that is, the system of their Qinghe Army is lacking, and they lack a supervision mechanism for officials at all levels.
Of course, these are problems that Chen Ziang is aware of, so naturally he will not speak out.
He directly admitted that Qin An, Chief of Political Affairs, was guilty of inspection, which made Qin An feel panic.
"Also ask the commander-in-chief to punish¡ª"
While Qin An was terrified, there was a plop, his knees softened, and he knelt down, also keeping his posture to the lowest level.
Qin An is now the Chief of Political Affairs, and he can be regarded as the top few figures in the Qinghe Army.
But at this moment, when he saw Chen Ziang sitting there with no expression on his face, Qin An realized that everything he had was given by Chen Ziang, and in front of Chen Ziang, he was just an ant.
Chen ZiangThe day gave Qin An and the others great power. Although they said that they didn't want to blame him for this incident, they also wanted to take the opportunity to beat Qin An.
"The people support our Qinghe army because our Qinghe army has brought the people a way of life, allowing them to have fields to cultivate, food to eat, and clothes to wear."
"But our brothers in the Qinghe Army fought bloody battles on the front line, but some people bullied the people behind, destroyed the foundation of our Qinghe Army, and even bullied the families of our Qinghe Army brothers."
"I discovered this by accident in Luo County, so are there any similar things in other prefectures and counties in Jiangbei Province? As the chief of government affairs, do you know clearly?"
"If our officials were all like Wu Chong, the Deputy Chief of Administration of Luo County, would the common people still support us? I'm afraid there is no difference from the imperial court, right?"
"I'm afraid it won't be long before I can be a commander-in-chief, and my brothers from the Qinghe Army and I will become street rats that everyone shouts and beat, and lose the support and trust of the people¡ª"
Chen Ziang saw Qin An, the Chief of Political Affairs kneeling there, and told Qin An the consequences of the incident.
After hearing what Chen Ziang said, Qin An realized the seriousness of the problem and felt guilty.
How long has he been the Chief of Political Affairs? He has been so busy focusing on the recovery of production and the development of business and trade that he has neglected the supervision of internal officials.
As Chen Ziang said, I am afraid that there are still many such things in the prefectures and counties under the rule of the Qinghe Army.
Thinking that he had betrayed Chen Ziang's trust and made his rule so bad, Qin An wished he could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.
Chen Ziang deliberately exaggerated the matter to make it so serious, but also wanted Qin An, the Chief of Political Affairs, to reflect deeply.
Seeing Qin An who was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead in the winter, Chen Ziang also stopped his continued threats.
He knew that it was almost the end of what he had said. As for whether Qin An could sum up his lessons and reflect on his work, that was Qin An's own business.
"Although you have committed the crime of negligence, but people are not sages and sages. This time, the people below are obsessed with others. It is understandable for you to be kept in the dark. You are dedicated to the welfare of the people. I You can also see it.¡±
Chen Ziang changed the subject and did not accuse Qin An of his faults, but pointed out some of his advantages, and did not put all the responsibility on his head.
"However, a mistake is a mistake, and you still have to bear some responsibility. How about this, you committed the crime of negligence in this matter, and the dismissal is too serious, so you can be fined for half a year, would you like it?" Chen Ziang looked at Qin An and said.
Just now when Chen Ziang mentioned the seriousness of the matter, Qin An also turned pale with fright, thinking that Chen Ziang would really withdraw from his post and even lose his head.
But what I didn't expect was that Chen Ziang raised it high and put it down gently.
"Thank you Commander for not killing me, I will repay Commander with all my heart!"
Qin An's mood seemed to be going through a roller coaster. While breaking out in a cold sweat, he also hurriedly thanked him.
When something like this happened, Chen Zi'ang only fined him half a year's salary, which was considered a special kindness.
"Get up, don't kneel down, you are the Chief of Political Affairs of our Qinghe Army after all, you must not lose your status."
Chen Zi'ang beat Qin An's work, and then he called Qin An to stand up, and asked him to return to his seat and sit down again.
After Qin An heard Chen Ziang's words, he also respectfully returned to his seat. He knew that this time his position was preserved, but he also felt even more in awe of Chen Ziang.
He thought about it, and he must sort out the officials of the prefectures and counties in the future, so as to avoid such a thing from happening again.
"Your energy alone is limited, and it is impossible to keep an eye on the officials in various prefectures and counties all the time. Let me give you a suggestion. Set up a Supervisory Council immediately."
"The Overwatch Council?"
"The Supervisory Yuan can send commissioners to various prefectures and counties to monitor whether the officials have been corrupt and violated the law. At the same time, they can also send inspectors to inspect whether the New Deal is being implemented, so as to avoid the recurrence of false obedience."
"I would like to obey the Commander-in-Chief's order, and I will set up the Overwatch Council as soon as I get back." Qin An hastily agreed. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
