    Jilin Province Governor Chen Ye and several deputy governors received orders from Wang Yuze that night. They were so frightened that they were sweating profusely until the emperor was at Panshi and were besieged by people from the police station.  Especially County Magistrate Gao's brother-in-law, Vice Governor Lu, has an earthy complexion.  He naturally knew what shameful things his brother-in-law had done in Panshi County.  I also know that this time I am afraid that I am doomed.

    Chen Ye took several deputy governors that night and rushed to Panshi County that night.  Along the way, Chen Ye's face was so gloomy that he could drip water, and he looked at Vice Governor Lu from time to time, as if he wanted to kill someone.  He finally rose from the position of mayor of Wuhan to governor of Jilin, and he also wanted to work hard to develop Jilin so that one day he could be crowned a marquis and prime minister.  But now, something so bad happened under his rule, which made him even want to kill Vice Governor Lu.  The county magistrate of Panshi County is the brother-in-law of Vice Governor Lu. Of course he knows this.  However, what was originally thought to be a minor problem has now caused a huge disaster.

    Along the way, Vice Governor Lu¡¯s face was also pale.  Originally, he thought that Panshi was just a small county town in a remote area, and if he let his brother-in-law mess around, as long as he was still in this position, there would be no problem.  But how could you imagine that the emperor would go to such a small place?  This is completely a sudden disaster!

    When they arrived at Panshi from Jilin, it was already late at night.  At this time, Wang Yuze had already rested, so they naturally did not dare to disturb him anymore.  I can only find another place to rest.  At this time, the 483rd Regiment of the 48th Division had taken control of the entire Panshi County.  County Magistrate Gao and members of the Gao family were all arrested, as were all the officials involved.  In order to prevent problems, the entire Panshi County has temporarily implemented military control.

    All the officials in Jilin Province were panicking, and the Minister of Personnel, Zou Cheng, and the Minister of Supervision, Gao Anguo, who were far away in Beijing, even yelled angrily.  In order to rectify the administration of the empire, Wang Yuze specially established the Ministry of Personnel and the Department of Supervision.  Although these two departments have not entered the cabinet, they are directly responsible to Wang Yuze, which can be said to be of high authority.  But now that something like this happened, how could they explain it to Wang Yuze?  The two had no choice but to rush to the rock overnight.  Fortunately, the railway department made it convenient for them and prepared a special train. Otherwise, they would have to wait until tomorrow.  However, the train takes two days from Beijing to Panshi!

    On September 16, after breakfast, Wang Yuze summoned a group of officials from Jilin Province.

    "I will see you, Your Majesty!" Chen Ye and others saluted Wang Yuze.

    "Very good! I didn't expect you to give me a big surprise during this trip to the Northeast!" Wang Yuze said with a sigh.

    "Please forgive me, Your Majesty!" From Wang Yuze's words, they could naturally feel the anger, and one by one they knelt on the ground to apologize.  Although, Wang Yuze has ordered the abolition of the kneeling ceremony.  But these people are scared to death at the moment, so why bother about this.

    "Hmph! How do you ask me to forgive my sin? A small Panshi County has a population of only more than 100,000. However, the Gao family and his son have made off with millions of unjust crimes in just a few years.  Wealth. The economic development is lagging, the people are miserable, and even the police station has become a slave of the Gao family and his son. How did you manage Jilin Province for me when you arrived?" Wang Yuze said angrily.

    Hearing Wang Yuze's roar, Chen Ye and others couldn't help but sweat profusely and confessed repeatedly.

    "Come here, arrest this deputy governor named Lu. After the people from the Supervision Department arrive, they will interrogate him in detail to find out what the problem is!" Wang Yuze ordered.  Several wolf-like guards immediately took Vice Governor Lu away.

    "Your Majesty, spare your life!" Vice Governor Lu also looked pale at this moment and shouted for mercy.  However, Wang Yuze, who was in a rage, would not let these people go.

    On the evening of the 17th, Minister of Personnel Zou Cheng and Minister of Supervision Gao Anguo also rushed to Panshi.  The two people quickly apologized to Wang Yuze.

    Although Wang Yuze knew that the empire was still relatively young, many officials were selected from Manchu officials, especially those at the county level and below.  These people had more or less residual feudal ideas, which had a very bad impact on the empire's administration.  In the past three years, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Supervision have also been working hard and achieved certain results.  However, this is still far from Wang Yuze's expectations.  Especially the evil deeds of the Gao family and his son made Wang Yuze furious.

    "I have high hopes for your two departments. Since your two departments were established, you have asked for people and money for money. And now, is this your reward for me? If the empire's  How can an empire rise if the officials cannot be governed with integrity?" Wang Yuze asked angrily.??

    "Your Majesty, please forgive me. It's because we didn't do our job well!" Zoucheng and Gao Anguo quickly apologized.

    "I know that the empire is so big and the population is so large. Even though you work very hard, there are still many places that you cannot take care of. However, time is not waiting for me now. You must use all your energy to dig out these moths for me. Remember.  Come on, I'll give you one more chance, and it's also the last chance. If something like this happens again, you two should resign!" Wang Yuze said.

    "Yes, Your Majesty!" Zoucheng and Gao Anguo breathed a sigh of relief.  They know that this level has been passed.  For the sake of their own career, they have to work hard!  Naturally, the Gao family and his son, who had angered Wang Yuze, would not let him go.

    The next day, people from the Supervision Department interrogated the Gao family and his son, and quickly obtained evidence of their crimes.  Even Vice Governor Lu was not spared and was arrested.  After finding out the situation, the Ministry of Personnel immediately dismissed Vice Governor Lu and County Magistrate Gao from their posts, and all other officials involved in the case were also dismissed.  Afterwards, because Wang Yuze was in charge in Panshi, the Jilin Provincial Court immediately heard the case and sentenced all these corrupt officials to serious sentences.  Senior father and son and Vice Governor Lu were even sentenced to death.

    Although Chen Ye and other major leaders in Jilin were not removed from their posts, they were punished.  If you want to be promoted in the future, it will be much more difficult than others.  This made Chen Ye hate the Gao family leader even more.  To end someone's career is completely a matter of sworn hatred!  If the Gao family and his son had not been sentenced to death, I am afraid that even Chen Ye would not let them go.

    A campaign to rectify officialdom began in Panshi County and quickly spread to Jilin Province and even the country.  For the sake of their own career, Zoucheng and Gao Anguo worked hard to thoroughly investigate those bugs across the country.  Wang Yuze even specifically asked the Military Intelligence Bureau to cooperate with them and provided a large amount of information to the Ministry of Supervision and the Ministry of Personnel.

    The entire operation lasted for more than half a year and did not stop until the war began.  In this period of more than half a year, thousands of officials were once again dismissed.  The vast majority are county-level officials.  For these officials, if the circumstances were serious, Wang Yuze directly ordered the confiscation of their property and sentenced them to death.  Although a large number of people died, it also made a great improvement in the empire's officialdom.  Everyone knew that the emperor was going to take action this time.  When everyone thinks about making a mistake, they can't help but think more carefully about whether it's worth it.  Under this powerful method, many officials have become stricter on themselves. Coupled with the full monitoring of the Supervision Department and the Human Resources Department, the number of rape incidents in the empire has been reduced a lot.

    Wang Yuze stayed in the Northeast region until the end of October. After the first snow fell, he began to return to Beijing.  And now, as the time approaches, the atmosphere in the entire Far East region is becoming more and more tense.  Especially in China, all troops are preparing nervously for war.  While the railways were still functioning, large quantities of weapons, ammunition and other strategic materials were transported to various units.  For the troops in the north, war was just around the corner.  After the coming of next spring, the war between China and Russia will probably begin.

    "Wang Wei, why do you think there are still so many people who are corrupt and bend the law? I remember that in the past three years, many officials have been executed every year. Why do these people still refuse to change despite repeated admonitions? Don't they know that this is still happening?  Beheaded?" Wang Yuze asked angrily on the train back to Beijing.

    "Your Majesty, people's greed is endless. Although the salary given by the government is already very generous, it is obviously not enough if you spend every day drinking and drinking. Therefore, these people work hard to make money, and the results are getting worse and worse.  It is becoming more and more serious. In addition, this is inseparable from the remnants of feudalism in our country. During the Manchu Dynasty, almost all officials were trying every means to commit corruption, and the habits formed by this are difficult to get rid of!  If we could replace all these old-style bureaucrats, things might be a lot better!" Wang Wei said.

    "The Imperial Administrative University is already expanding its enrollment. Starting next year, thousands of students will graduate every year. These students have all received patriotic education. I believe that their joining will definitely inject a little vitality into the officialdom of the empire.  . After a few years, when these people grow up, they will be able to gradually replace those old-style bureaucrats!" Wang Yuze said.

    "Yes, Your Majesty, we can't rush this. We just need to follow the plan step by step! I believe that the future of the empire is definitely bright!" Wang Wei said.

    Wang Yuze is not as optimistic as Wang Wei, although these students who graduated from the Imperial Administration University have received a good education.  However, can they withstand the corrosion of sugar-coated bullets?  This is very difficult to say.
