Chapter 218 Wanting(3/3)
It was time for Song Biao to not investigate. According to the verification and speculation of the General Administration of Investigation, the total scale of silver in Shanxi's cellars totaled nearly 20 million taels of silver. In addition to the governance difficulties in southwestern areas such as Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, etc., Shanxi's illegality
Opium production still occupies the first share of inland provinces, and can even be said to be half of the northern provinces. One of the most complicated problems is the spread of endless Taihang Mountain and other mountains. Shanxi merchants secretly reclaim new land in such places and plant them.
Opium is sold outside and huge profits are made.
The empire's strict investigation of opium has caused opium prices to soar, and there are too many drug users in China who are addicted to opium. The domestic smuggling of opium from Vietnam, Myanmar and other places has become a huge profit, and the profits of illegal cultivation and operation in China have also increased.
The higher and higher the arrival makes it more difficult for the empire to investigate further.
There is also a very powerful bribery problem. In order to make local officials turn a blind eye, illegal businessmen bribe officials and officials are very crazy. Especially in Shanxi, the collusion between officials and businessmen is so powerful that the local governor patrols the defense.
The general is helpless.
The Central Investigation Bureau, which Song Biao directly under the status of emperor, was basically equivalent to the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty, and was even more eye-catching in Shanxi to investigate various illegal affairs.
The situation was better at the beginning of the empire's completion, but during the World War, the rapid development of China's industry was also developing rapidly in parallel with the chaos in the local area, the great restoration of bureaucracy and collusion between officials and businessmen.
But it is not yet time to force Song Biao to be fully cleaned, especially when a large-scale military conflict between China and the Soviet Union is about to break out, and the imperial debt is too high, Song Biao still plans to continue to adopt a tough but not too fierce approach.
Deal with these issues.
Only after the Sino-Soviet War was fought and foreign military and political stability were stabilized, Song Biao would consider turning around and strictly investigating domestic politics, completely replacing a group, cleaning up a group, and even developing a step forward in the system.
