1589 1590: Shocking
The logistics director Erak didn't dare to raise his head to meet Hathaway's gaze, he hesitated and said:
"Master Hathaway, this is due to my subordinate's dereliction of duty. This subordinate has not finished counting the materials in the warehouse. The former logistics director Brutt has just been dealt with. This subordinate has limited time and has not had time to finish counting the materials. Please give this subordinate some time." , the subordinates must."
"Shut up!" Hathaway yelled sharply, wanting to throw the account book on Erak's face, but took a deep breath but held back.
She has been in the aristocratic circle for many years, and she has long been familiar with the routines of the old aristocrats. Of course, she knows what kind of tricks Erak and the others are playing. How can she tolerate the other party's nonsense?
When Aslan returned to the imperial capital, he handed over Weilin clone to her. He wanted to use this as a model, not only to catch the beauty, but also to complete the formalities.
Hathaway deeply felt the great responsibility and the urgency of the situation. To ensure the smooth progress of Wellinglon's disaster relief, the relief supplies were undoubtedly the core. The first thing Hathaway did was to count the relief supplies of Wellinglon overnight.
Ordinary officials have just arrived in office, and they have to know the logistics warehouse in a certain place, look at the ledger, and then go to the warehouse to inspect it, and the task is considered to be completed. However, Hathaway asked the manpower she brought to directly count the supplies according to the ledger.
It’s okay if we don’t check, but the problem was found out immediately after checking. There are so many more objects in the warehouse than in the ledger!
Generally, the accounts do not match, because the numbers on the account books are large, and there are actually not so many things in the logistics warehouse. This is a bad account. In this case, the warehouse materials have been corrupted.
But the warehouse in front of me is filled with materials donated by the people of Welin Cloning. There are more real items than recorded in the ledger, and its purpose is self-evident.
"Bring it!"
Hathaway slammed the so-called account book in her hand to the ground, stretched out her hand to Alak, and issued an unquestionable order.
Just now his staff counted the supplies. At first, Erak and the others were able to deal with it calmly. After they found out that Hathaway was not just pretending but coming for the real thing, they all changed their eyes and said what Hathaway and others had worked so hard to come from afar. , Let the people in the logistics department do this chore, so that there will be no mistakes.
Now that the truth has been revealed, Elak and other logistics officials are trembling.
"What does Lady Hathaway want?" Erak put on a confused look, biting the bullet and insisting.
"Ailak! Are you really going to fight to the end? Bring the real ledger, do you want me to send a special investigation team to search it myself?! If the special investigation team finds out, you can still keep your head ?”
Hathaway's attitude showed that this was his ultimatum.
Finally unable to withstand Hathaway's coercion, Erak quickly called a confidant and asked the other party to take out the real account book.
When Hathaway received the new ledger, she opened it and looked at it, her murderous intent was undisguised.
"I counted last month, and within a month, you have spent a quarter of the supplies. Okay, okay, you are really capable!"
"Even though I was mentally prepared and knew that you would be greedy for donations from the Mexican people, at most I thought you would be greedy for a fraction, but I didn't expect that you were going to be greedy for 50% of it. You really opened my eyes. Your conscience is all for dogs. have eaten?!"
In the account book on the surface, there are only a few materials, and the material wealth that is not recorded in this account book is naturally used for internal digestion by the city hall.
If Hathaway came later and the materials and wealth in the warehouse were divided up, they would match the accounts. At that time, even if they found out that there were a lot of income in their homes that did not match their status, they would not be able to find these materials. origin of.
Erak and other officials were sweating profusely from Hathaway's questioning, and quickly prostrated themselves on the ground, constantly admitting their mistakes and pleading guilty, hoping that Hathaway would give them another chance.
Hathaway said coldly: "I will give you a chance to hand over the ledger of the spoils to me, and I can plead with His Majesty for you."
The materials in the warehouse have already been distributed so much. The number of tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands involves many officials of the city hall. How much should each person divide, how much has been divided, and how much should be divided in the future. Of course, there will be an account book For the record, this is not about sharing the loot among three or five people. If there are too many people, there will be chaos. If you want to avoid chaos, you must use a ledger to record it.
"Master Hathaway, there is no such account book." Erak and the others looked at each other, and finally decided to grit their teeth.
Let Hathaway take the real ledger. The whereabouts of those embezzled materials cannot be covered up. The worst is to return them back. To be honest, there is no room for maneuver!
Moreover, the ledger of loot sharing not only records how much the officials of the city hall have divided, but also the plan of how much everyone should share. Once it is exposed, their crime of dividing most of the material wealth from the logistics warehouse will no longer be covered up.
With such a large amount of money on him, the crime is much greater than the supplies that Corruption has already distributed, and the officials involved will definitely not end well.
"Now, do you still want to hide it? If you don't hand it in, I will let the special investigation team search. Once I find it, I will not have this attitude!"
Hathaway knew that such an important thing as the ledger would be well hidden, and it might not be easy for her to find it out.
Hathaway has often encountered things like city hall making fake accounts to embezzle ink public funds, and it can even be said that she is used to it. If the logistics warehouse does not have two ledgers, she is ashamed to call herself a city hall.
Like the Wellington City Hall, it is a matter of greedy for big money and only giving small heads to officials and people.
Hathaway is not surprised either, this is a common problem of the old aristocratic system for a long time, the Grand Master always has to eat his fill first before giving some soup to the people.
This is the meaning of power. Those who have the right to eat meat have no right to drink soup. This is how survival resources are allocated.
But right now, after all, it is during the disaster relief period, and there are still aftershocks from time to time. More than ten counties in the Cleveland province have been hit by major earthquakes. As a frontier town, Wellinglon is a frontier town. It made Hathaway even more angry.
After so many years of development in the empire, the people's ideological awareness has been greatly improved, but they were still corrupted by the officials of the old aristocracy.
For a long time, these old aristocratic officials will spread this bad habit throughout the empire. At that time, the empire will return to the old way of the Cleveland Kingdom.
In any dynastic empire, in the middle of its development, there will inevitably be corruption in the government. This is an inevitable thing. No matter how hard the emperor tries to govern, it cannot stop this phenomenon from spreading at the bottom.
This is also the reason why Aslan wants to set up the Fifth Integrity Picket Bureau. He wants to start from the source.
Please collect the new book "The Infernal Lord" as a way to help the old Gu survive the scene. The new book is so embarrassing. Thank you brothers and sisters for your continuous support
