The new army's law enforcement is very civilized, and they will not easily resolve internal conflicts with violence. Under Xiao Hexin's strict order, all new army soldiers must smile and politely ask the officials to cooperate with the investigation, and no torture will happen at all.

That's right, Xiao Letian has always been civilized for internal review. He will not beat you or scold you. He will only politely ask you to enter the single room for fatigue questions.

Look how dark it is in the single room. Someone came to light ten big candles and put a few glass mirrors behind it. Look at this photo, your facial features are so clear and your skin is so healthy... Oh, why are you hiding? Look here and look at us.

We are all civilized people and don’t talk bad things. At most, we are a little bit sluggish. For example, what are your name, gender, age, position, wherever you live, and how many people are there. We will have short-term amnesia in these questions. Let’s ask you over and over again, don’t be annoyed.

You must also ensure that you eat and drink well. You must keep your energy and energy. If you want to sleep, you will come. If you want to have a cup of strong tea, you won’t be able to drink it. If the strong tea doesn’t work, you will get the bitter coffee from foreigners.

Civilization, we need civilized interrogation.

Where did the civil servants in Ryukyu handle such torture? More than eight hours later, when Xiao Letian got up with his hangover's eyes and washed his face and had breakfast, the first batch of confessions had been delivered to him.

Xiao Hexin's injured leg may not be able to recover completely. Although he walked very quickly with a cane, his injured leg was still a little stiff, and it was very difficult to walk without a cane.

"Report to the Prime Minister, ten customs tax officials have confessed. They used their rights to ask the captain for bribes. The 100,000-ton sea ships were loosened and turned into 80,000 tons. They also deliberately marked many high-priced goods as low as possible. Now it seems that the black holes in customs tax revenue are as high as 20%..."

"The interrogation method taught by the Prime Minister is really useful. They will be quicker if they don't beat or scold them. I believe there will be a steady stream of confessions this morning..."

Xiao Letian did not respond directly to this matter, but asked Xiao Hexin's legs. "Is rehabilitation training still not possible? You can't lose your crutches. If this continues, it seems that you have to learn from Zhuge Kongming in a wheelchair to direct the war... and sit down and eat together."

Xiao Hexin sat on the chair, and the waiter next to him served a bowl of porridge and a plate of small buns. Xiao Hexin, who had been in a night, was not polite and ate it sweetly.

"Okay, the crab roe small buns from the Prime Minister's family are good. If my tongue is fine, it should be crab roe and crab meat of flower crabs... My legs don't matter. If I can really go to the battlefield like Zhuge Kongming, it would be a good story, and I will naturally become a Confucian general..."

"It's so hot... so hot. Compared to Sima Yun and Brother Luo Huo, I'm lucky. I don't have to charge in person when fighting in the future. Do you think I've taken a big advantage?"

The jokes could not cover up Xiao Hexin's loneliness, so Xiao Letian quickly changed the topic, "What do you think of this corruption case?"

"From the current confession, corruption is 90% true. Lin Yuanmiao is the Minister of Revenue of Ryukyu. The money bag of Ryukyu is in his hands. He dared not reach out to Lotte Foreign Store, so he had to start with other businesses..."

"Customs take some tariff rebates, that's a small amount of money. The real dark side is still in the engineering... There are too many major projects in our Ryukyu now. Although Lotte Foreign Company is rich and powerful, it can only contract military-industrial projects, such as shipyards, Nobel explosives factories, chemical factories, military factories... etc. As for other civilian projects, they can only bid for social bids."

"The infrastructure project of Nanshan Military Fire Warehouse was photographed by Japanese merchants, and the Mijie reconstruction project was photographed by Fukang Businessman... There are many other things. These civilian projects were naturally intervened, and it is not uncommon to ask for bribes..."

"After all, it was his self-supporting credit, and he made contributions to the premier's presidency and several civil strife. He was all fearless..."

Xiao Letian pointed at the table with his fingers, "Yes, if you have credit, you will be fearless. If you have credit, you will have to turn the credit into money. This set of thinking has been like this for thousands of years..."

Xiao He believed in his head and drank the porridge in the bowl, wiped his mouth and smiled at the prime minister, "This matter is according to my wishes. Let Lao Lin return the stolen goods. Just kill his housekeeper and knock on the mountain and the tiger. It's all over. If you don't raise fish in the clear water pond, it's impossible to do it..."

"You think so too." Xiao Letian looked at him incredibly.

"Hey... Prime Minister, don't look at me like this. I actually hate corrupt officials more than you. However, for thousands of years of civilization history, no one can cure corruption. We have watched the king enter Nanjing with our own eyes, and also how those high-ranking officials in the heavens fell. They are no worse than corrupt officials in the court..."

"The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were in ancient times, so we won't say much. Since the historical materials of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were detailed, when did the corruption stop? The master just set a balance. If it is too fierce, he will suppress it. If it really doesn't work, kill a few to relieve the public. What else can he do?"

Xiao Letian fell into deep thought and waved his hand to let Xiao Hexin leave. He sat in the study and did not work all morning.

The fate of Chinese merchants in all dynasties was not very good. It is not necessary to mention Chen Wansan in the early Ming Dynasty. Hu Xueyan in the late Qing Dynasty were all the most typical examples, among which Hu Xueyan's fate was the most sad.

In the eighth year of Guangxu, Hu Xueyan, who was the second-class sold out, spent 20 million taels of silver to establish a silk factory, and acquired Jiangnan silk at a high price, and tried to confront foreign merchants alone. The core purpose was to restore China's pricing power for raw silk products.

Such bold and arbitrary actions completely angered the foreigners. The small Qing merchants dared to steal the pricing power of goods from us. Who would die if you don’t die?

The tragic battle of raw silk is beyond description. Hu Xueyan almost succeeded, and in the end, he even forced the foreign merchants to shout the slogan of not buying silk for a year, trying to break Hu Xueyan's capital chain alive.

Foreign merchants, Dongting Mountain Gang, and hostile forces within the court, and finally, they had to add a commercial information about the harvest of French and Italian silk, which completely defeated the red-topped businessman.

It is undeniable that Hu Xueyan is indeed a dominant placing raw silk in order to make money, but for a national businessman, he snatches the pricing power of raw silk from foreigners, which is definitely a good thing that benefits the country and the people.

Unfortunately, no one cares what it means to benefit the country and the people. When Hu Xueyan's funds broke, his Fukang Silver House not only did not receive support and protection from the state, but also welcomed a crazy run of officials and merchants.

Empress Dowager Cixi was furious and issued an order to remove all Hu Xueyan's top clothes. Without the protection of her official position, the giant merchant became a dying whale on the beach and could only let others cut their flesh.

This is the only businessman who dared to go to war with international capital in the late Qing Dynasty. He and Sheng Huaixuan took two completely different ways. Although they both had official positions, Hu Xueyan was considered a national businessman in his heart, while Sheng Huaixuan was a pure official businessman, and playing politics was his strength.

So after that, the Beiyang God of Wealth was rich and honored for the rest of his life, but Hu Xueyan died of loneliness.

"What exactly are businessmen in the eyes of these officials? Are they thrown away after using them? They ask for bribes at will without any psychological burden, and they are crazy about dismemberment like a dog. Damn..."

While Xiao Letian was pondering, the interrogation work also made significant progress. The butler of the Minister of Revenue Lin Yuanmiao was unable to stand it in the end. All the secrets between him and the master were confessed.

Within half a year after defeating the French Expeditionary Force, Lin Yuanmiao made his own contributions and the new army was intimidating East Asia. The merchants from all over the world dared not dissatisfied, so he made a lot of money.

He dared not start the business of Lotte Foreign Company, but he had no psychological burden on other merchants. Within half a year, Lin Yuanmiao actually accumulated money to 700,000 silver dollars.

Xiao Letian was shocked when he saw the confession. He had such a big appetite for half a year. This was great from now on. However, before he could get angry, the sentry at the door ran in and said, "Report, Minister of Revenue, Lin Yuanmiao, kneeled at the Prime Minister's Mansion and apologized to the Prime Minister."

"Let him kneel down for me, and no one cares about him." The angry Xiao Letian slapped the table.

The Lin Yuanmiao case shocked the entire East Asian business district. When Lin Yuanmiao knelt for eight hours and finally fell into a coma, and when the Prime Minister did not see the important officials of Ryukyu for three days, the business districts of Japan, North Korea, the Qing Dynasty and even Hong Kong were already in a bad mood.

Wherever there are businessmen, people are discussing this lawsuit, and some even make a bet to see if Xiao Letian will do anything to Lin Yuanmiao.

Three days later, Lin Yuanmiao's son Lin Zhen sold all his wealth, and personally carried a silver cart naked on his back and walked through the streets and alleys of Ryukyu to apology by the prime minister.

There were one million silver coins on the silver cart, which was all the property of the Lin family. Lin Zhen cried and burst into tears. He was already preparing to board the ship to study in Prussia, but his family changes almost broke down.

"Prime Minister... My Lin family is willing to destroy the family and atone for the sins. Please beg the Prime Minister to be kind..." Lin Zhen knelt at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, with blood flowing from thorns behind him.

After a while, his comrade-in-arms and good friend Xiang Ying ran out in tears. He passed the prime minister's message to Lin Zhen, "Lin Zhen, is the salary given to your father by the Ryukyu court not enough? Does Lotte Foreign Company have very little dividends to your family's shares? Or is your father's contributions have been so great that even the national laws cannot control it?"

Lin Zhen kowtowed like pounding garlic. "What the Prime Minister taught me is that our Lin family was wrong... I don't ask for anything else, I just ask the Prime Minister to forgive my father for his life and let him resign as the people."

The Lin family was really scared. The case was released but there was no follow-up for six days. The terrifying feeling of the sword hanging above the head was much greater than that of cutting it off directly. Xiao Letian might as well make a sentence directly. This scary feeling of the Lin family was all collapsed.
