After the meeting, the high-ranking officials of the Russian Empire left one after another.
Many ministers went home in a hurry, seemingly calculating how much they had corrupted over the years.
In order to save his own life, I am afraid that these stolen funds must be handed over.
Otherwise, once Mikhail II really comes, won’t they have to go to prison to accompany Sergeivet
?
“Akinfeeff, it’s up to you next, I will let the intelligence services and the army fully cooperate with you. The officialdom of the Tsarist Empire has been completely rotten, and if it is not rectified properly, the consequences will be very serious. There will be no future for our empire. Mikhail looked serious.
In another time and space, wasn’t it precisely because the people of the Tsarist Empire were completely disappointed in the entire country?
Now, the lives of ordinary people are very bad. Although, everyone is still silently enduring it. But Mikhail knew that if he didn’t make changes, the consequences would be serious.
The finances of the Russian Empire were heavily indebted. If he wanted to carry out drastic reforms in industry, transportation, military and agriculture, he would need a lot of money.
The stolen money handed over by these officials, and even the family property of those guys, is undoubtedly an important source of these funds.
“Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely do my best. However, the officials of the empire, few were clean. Doing so would probably cause great turmoil. Akinfev was a little worried.
Mikhail shook his head: “Don’t worry about this, as long as the army is not in chaos, the empire will not be chaotic.” Even if there are some small messes, they can be easily solved. Next, you can start with the top officials of the empire. Then, push down one level at a time. Of course, you don’t have to be too ruthless. As long as the vast majority of the stolen money handed over by those officials is handed over, then it is okay, and there is no need to be completely true. In that case, it will be a problem. Of course, I will further improve the treatment of officials so that they no longer have excuses for corruption. After that, if there are still those who stretch out their hands indiscriminately, they will naturally not be tolerated and will be severely punished!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!” Akinfev nodded, understanding what Mikhail meant.
As the saying goes, if the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are inspected, there are no disciples.
Human desires are endless, which makes it impossible for many people to fully withstand temptation.
The Russian Empire was so big, there were so many officials. If you want to make all officials clean, it is simply impossible.
It is foreseeable that the Imperial Supervision Department will be busy next.
Mikhail hoped that the Imperial Ministry of Supervision would become a sharp sword hanging over the heads of officials, so that they would act with scruples and not be too arrogant. In that case, it would be best for the Russian Empire.
It would be great if, in five years, or even ten years, the officialdom of the Russian Empire could be cleared.
The first thing after the establishment of the Imperial Inspectorate was to thoroughly investigate the former chancellor of finance and confiscate all his family property.
Many of the officials of the Imperial Inspectorate were retired intelligence officers.
Whether it is in interrogation or clearance, they are experts.
Within a week, the Ministry of Supervision figured out Sergeevit’s corruption over the years and the situation of family property.
When Akinfev delivered the report to Mikhail, he was also shocked.
Although Mikhail knew that Sergeevit was a big corrupt official, he now found that he still underestimated his greed, which is clearly a huge greed!
Sergey Vitus kept deposits in the bank, as well as gold, jewelry, antiques, as well as his land, shops and mansions, as well as shares in the companies in which he held shares, and so on.
All added up, it is two and a half billion rubles.
You know, now the annual fiscal revenue of the Tsarist Russian Empire is only 1.2 billion rubles!
!
No wonder the people of the Russian Empire lived in dire straits. It turns out that because of these guys, there is too much embezzlement.
Mikhail directly demanded that Sergeevit be put on trial.
In the end, the court sentenced Sergei Witt to death by hanging, which was carried out immediately.
The place of execution was Red Square outside the Palace of Gram.
For a time, the entire people of Mosk crowded here and witnessed Sergeevit’s hanging.
And this was undoubtedly a great shock to the officials of the entire Russian Empire.
They understood that the new tsar was undoubtedly much more ruthless than the previous tsars!
!
At the same time, other officials of the Russian Empire, especially those of the cabinet ministries, were summoned by the Ministry of Supervision to confess their crimes and hand over the stolen money.
Various cabinet ministers also took the initiative to hand over the stolen money. Although it is not all of their greedy ink, it is also the vast majority. This is undoubtedly a very good example. Other officials, naturally, did not dare to disobey the order and handed over the stolen money one after another.
For a time, the treasury of the Russian Empire quickly filled up.
