Chapter 1579 1580: Imperial Capital Investigation Team
Essien has no choice. If he doesn't do this, he will be the one who gets kicked out, and the whole family may also decline as a result.
After so many years of development, Essien's family has grown from obscurity to become the leading family in the empire, relying on him as the Minister of State.
Although the family has developed very fast, the younger generation has not yet grown up. The family's nephews are too low-born. Even if they have attended the Imperial Academy for the past few years, they often teach by example, but it is still difficult to truly be on their own.
This is the helplessness of a grassroots background, and the family background is too bad.
It will take at least one or two generations for this situation to improve.
Brutt, the logistics director of the City Hall of Wellington City, has been in a good mood recently.
There is no other reason. After a major earthquake occurred in Donner County within the jurisdiction of Welinglon City, and Welinglon City entered a wartime state, in order to maximize the rescue of the affected people, the Welinglon City Hall called on the public to support the rescue and received a lot of support. Great response.
The way of support is very simple, nothing more than one sentence: the rich contribute money, and the powerful contribute.
Those people who volunteered to rescue, transport supplies, and rebuild their homes in the disaster area, and the young people who don’t need the city hall to pay their salaries, have nothing to do with Brutt, the logistics director.
He is in charge of the city hall's warehouse, which is the city's logistics warehouse. What needs to be connected is naturally the materials and money donated by the people to the city hall for war preparations.
During this period of time, watching the amount of money on the account book gradually increase to an unimaginable extent, and seeing the supplies and grain in the warehouse pile up higher and higher, until they became the shape of mountains, Brutt was very happy From ear to ear, it's like an old farmer with a good harvest looking at his warehouse.
"The empire has developed rapidly in the past few years. Even ordinary people have such wealth. It is all thanks to the development of the city hall. It is only natural for them to donate materials and money."
The deputy director who accompanied Brutt to inspect the warehouse saw that the smile on Brutt's face hadn't disappeared, so he flattered him with all the appropriate words.
Originally, Brutt had a happy face just now, but now he suddenly changed his face, snorted arrogantly, and said with some dissatisfaction: "It's only tens of millions of new Merlot coins!"
"There are millions of people in Wellinglon, and on average, they don't donate much. If Wellinglon wants to rebuild production and business, it must invest a lot of money. These guys are still unwilling to use their wealth to help City Hall, is it true that the later the city rebuilds, the slower they want to restore the original good old days?"
"A bunch of short-sighted guys, so stupid!"
The deputy director didn't expect that Brut had such an idea, he opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. In his opinion, the amount of money donated by the people of Wellinglon City is incredible.
"Lord Truett, the rescue team has sent someone to say that the weather is turning cold now, and many rescued people cannot be transferred for the time being and need to be treated on the spot. I hope they can receive some medicines and tents for emergency response." An officer from the logistics department came report.
Hearing this, the deputy director was about to take the initiative to share chores for Brutt and prepare supplies for the rescue team who came from afar to help the disaster relief team in Welinglon, but Brutt stared at him.
"What kind of rescue team, when the logistics warehouse of the city hall belongs to his family, he wants whatever he wants? It's really unreasonable! Let them go as far as they want! This is a place where anyone can come?"
The ordinary operator was scolded for no reason, although he felt wronged, he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to accept his orders and leave.
The deputy director hesitated for a moment.
"My lord, these materials are all donated by the people, and they are supposed to be used for disaster relief. Give the rescue team some fabric."
These days, there are more and more money and materials in the city logistics warehouse, but they can only go in and out. Brutt has never been released for a week, and the deputy director has been puzzled for a long time, so he took the opportunity to probe the other party's tone .
"When these things enter the city's logistics warehouse, how to use them is up to the official. If others want it, they are the logistics director, or is the official the logistics master?" Brut coldly interrupted the deputy. Director's words.
His eyes fell on the piles of fabrics, as if looking at his own private property.
After working as the logistics director for so many years, he has never seen the city’s logistics warehouse so full, and he has never felt that the power in his hands is so powerful. Since the territory was taken back by the empire, his life has been very Straightforward.
Doing business almost lost all his capital, and finally with the help of his old friend, he entered the city hall to dawdle. The warehouse is so empty that he can run away mice on weekdays, making it impossible for him to fill his own pocket.
Seeing the deputy director hesitate to speak, Brut chuckled lightly.
"These days, the city is doing all it can to relieve the disaster, and the city hall is working very hard. You go to collect 100,000 new Merlot coins and distribute them to officials at all levels. It is a reward for the big guys. I have already discussed this matter with the mayor. , do it immediately."
The deputy director was stunned for a while before recovering.
When the people donated these things, they thought they would be used in wars, but they never expected that they would end up in the pockets of the city hall and become the benefits of the city hall's civil servants.
The deputy director was born in the ordinary people. Although he still has a conscience, but in the past few years, under the temptation and corruption of the old nobles like Brutt, there is not much left. Hearing that the money is divided, and it has to go through his hands, the deputy director Immediately his eyes lit up.
As for the people affected by the disaster, how can they have the strength to rescue them if they don't have enough to eat.
As for the rescue teams of non-governmental organizations, they are just a group of idiots. As long as they are given food, they even put down their work and run to save people.
The deputy director cursed secretly in his heart, and the last trace of conscience in his heart was completely reduced to ashes because of the one hundred thousand new Merlot coins.
At the same time, the imperial capital Melo sent an investigation team to Cleveland province to investigate the corruption there, attracting the attention of the governor of Cleveland province, and at the same time secretly sent the imperial capital investigation team to Wellinglon.
The people in the investigation team are all young people, and they are in the most passionate state.
They have known about this mission for a long time, and they are even more angry about the corruption and breaking the law in Wellington City.
"If these empire moths cannot be disposed of, the millennium foundation of the empire will be destroyed. The old nobles and bureaucrats really deserve to die."
On the plane, a young man said extremely angrily: "This time we secretly entered Wellington, we must take the officials of Wellington, especially the old aristocratic officials."
Aslan, who was hiding in the investigation team, had a strange expression on his face. The young man in front of him hated the old aristocrats so much, would he intentionally cause trouble during the investigation?
