Cen Chunxuan looked at Fang Zida, with a look of expectation.

"There is an old saying in China that we must first stabilize the internal situation when fighting foreign countries. In fact, this is the same in the work of the Supervision Department. Youdao is internally uneasy, so why do we go externally? The Supervision Department was established in a hurry. Although some departments were set up, there were still many problems in the specific operation. Just like the Yunjiegong answered my inquiry just now, you cannot fully guarantee that its internal personnel will have no problems, right?"

Cen Chunxuan nodded slightly and said frankly: "That's true. After the establishment of the Supervision Department, most of its personnel recruitment was selected by various departments or transferred at the same level. Although the personnel entering the company have been initially deleted, there is no problem with the slightest problem. I actually felt that the obstacles encountered this time can be said to be due to this reason. According to what Zheng Ming said, if the work of the Supervision Department is to proceed smoothly, it must first investigate the internal investigation?"

"Yun Jie Gong said!" Fang Zida agreed: "The future Supervision Department will be a cohesive, combat-oriented and honest and fair team. Such a team will definitely not allow the emergence of black sheep. Moreover, the Supervision Department is an independent department, directly under the State Council, and its funding and personnel organization are completely independent. This is also to avoid unnecessary troubles caused by the Supervision Department's disputes over interests with other departments. Therefore, I think it is necessary to carry out the internal cleaning of the Supervision Department."

"I agree!" Cen Chunxuan breathed a sigh of relief, and only now showed a smile, but he thought about it and asked, "If this is the case, I will ask Zheng Ming to do a favor."

"Haha, Yunjie Gong said it just right, as long as I can do it." Fang Zida agreed without thinking.

"Okay!" Cen Chunxuan was waiting for this sentence, and immediately asked Fang Zida to order the Safety Bureau to cooperate with the Supervision Department to review the internal work, and also have certain cooperation with the Supervision Department's external work. In other words, the Supervision Department requires the Safety Bureau to cooperate with his work as a brother unit.

Fang Zida did not expect Cen Chunxuan's request, but he finally agreed after thinking about it for a while. However, he made three rules with Cen Chunxuan in advance and asked the Security Bureau to cooperate with the Supervision Department's work. However, this is just cooperation. The Supervision Department cannot directly issue an order to the Security Bureau. At the same time, the two departments maintain mutual independence and cooperation methods, and each person shall not directly contact the actual work content of both parties.

Cen Chunxuan agreed to these requests and asked Fang Zida to arrange it to the Security Bureau as soon as possible. Because he was watching closely, Fang Zida had no choice but to hang up Chen Guofu in the office and explain the matter in front of Cen Chunxuan. After hanging up the call, Cen Chunxuan smiled so much that he didn't even drink tea, and stood up and said goodbye and left.

Looking at Cen Chunxuan's expression and smile when he left, Fang Zida was a little amused. I am afraid that Cen Chunxuan's main purpose for coming here today is this. As for what he said before, can Cen Chunxuan, who has served as three governors, be an ordinary person? The key to getting into such a big circle is to ask Fang Zida to lend him the power of the Security Bureau to investigate the internal situation and cooperate with the Supervision Department to find conclusive evidence of those cases.

Fang Zida fell into Cen Chunxuan's calculations when he was not careful. Cen Chunxuan was not only good at anti-corruption methods, but also good at taking advantage of the situation. He also easily solved the major problems of the Supervision Department, and also threw the work that offended the most to the Security Bureau. The abacus was indeed good. It was not until the end that Fang Zida woke up. However, he was not angry with Cen Chunxuan, but he laughed and scolded a few words alone after he left. As the first director of the Supervision Department, Cen Chunxuan was indeed under a lot of pressure, and the work he carried out was also full of difficulties. If Fang Zida could help, he still had to help. After all, whether the work of the Supervision Department was done well. This would be an important part of Fang Zida's formulation of national policies.

Cen Chunxuan received the "edict" and immediately began to arrange it. Without knowing the news from the various departments of the Supervision Department, Cen Chunxuan had private exchanges with Chen Guofu and negotiated the cooperation method between the two parties. In less than a few days, some evidence sent by the Security Bureau was placed on Cen Chunxuan's desk. These were the investigation results of internal staff of the Supervision Department. Although there was no evidence that these people had obvious corruption and abuse of power, there were many violations of discipline such as leaks, information and other violations. According to these investigation results, Cen Chunxuan divided these people into three categories, and the most serious one was taken away by the Security Bureau and then transferred to the judicial department for prosecution for dereliction of duty.

Due to the circumstance, those who had lost their words and caused minor negligence but did not cause major losses were dealt with within the Supervision Department, and transferred these people from their jobs, demoted or administratively punished them. As for some people who were good at self-discipline, Cen Chunxuan was promoted to important positions in addition to praise and material rewards. For a time, the internal atmosphere of the Supervision Department was boosted, and with this reason, the integrity and self-discipline of the entire Supervision Department made great progress. At the same time, some officials from various departments who tried to stuff relatives and friends into the Supervision Department, which seemed to have a great power and good treatment, retreated, and completely dispelled the idea of ​​jealousy of the Supervision Department's position.

After the rectification of the Supervision Department, Cen Chunxuan waved the knife in his hand to the outside. There was no insider to inform him. With the help of the huge intelligence network of the Security Bureau, the Supervision Department's investigation was very smooth. In just over a month, dozens of cases were verified and conclusive evidence was obtained. With these things in hand, the Supervision Department immediately interrogated the investigative subjects. Although some people denied it in every way and refused to admit it, these were useless in the face of evidence.

Since the first half of 1920, the Ministry of Supervision has filed a total of 472 cases and verified 415 cases. There are 1,563 officials involved in the case and people from all walks of life. More than 1,300 people have been prosecuted and sentenced for crimes such as bribery, bribery, fraud, and dereliction of duty. Nearly 200 people have received various administrative penalties.

This clean government storm has swept almost all parts of China. Due to the staff of the Ministry of Supervision, although some remote areas have not yet been fully verified, the arrest of thousands of officials at all levels and people from all walks of life has shocked everyone, especially some people with ghosts in their hearts. In response, some people in the cabinet meeting suggested that Cen Chunxuan was disrupting the political situation and was ill-intentioned. The arrest of so many officials at all levels not only lost the face of the government, but also brought great difficulties to the government's work. In addition, many tragic parliamentarians wrote to impeach Cen Chunxuan, calling him an addiction to the slaughter of the previous dynasty. After taking charge of the Ministry of Supervision, they used their power to gain fame and attacked political enemies, etc., and many families of implicated officials expressed their dissatisfaction, and colluded with each other to demand that the government ban the Ministry of Supervision and urge Cen Chunxuan to step down...

For a time, everything was said in the newspaper, as if Cen Chunxuan's status was already shaking, and the Supervision Department would become a yellow flower yesterday and even close the door and stop immediately. However, Cen Chunxuan at the center of the Storm was not affected at all. On the contrary, he directed the colleagues of the Supervision Department to work in an orderly manner with the cooperation of the Security Bureau.

Fang Zida did not stand by in this situation. Fang Zida, as the Prime Minister, clearly supported Cen Chunxuan at the cabinet meeting and made his tough attitude to support the Supervision Department. Later, Fang Zida, as the leader of the KMT, gave instructions at the KMT internal meeting. Anyone involved in the work of the Supervision Department will cooperate and will not be allowed to sing a counter-topic. If any retaliation or underminement of the Supervision Department is found, the KMT Central Committee will definitely impose serious punishments within the party.

Fang Zida's clear attitude of supporting integrity has been approved by many knowledgeable people, especially within kmt, several major Central Standing Committee members and Central Executive Committee members have also stood on Fang Zida's side. Due to the firm support of the upper level, those officials who tried to use various means to rush Cen Chunxuan to step down were ultimately unable to continue the farce. Moreover, with the strengthening of the implementation of the Supervision Department, the fire is getting stronger and stronger. Since then, the authority of the Supervision Department and the government's anti-corruption policy have been completely implemented.

Of course, in order to be too much, Fang Zida privately greeted Cen Chunxuan, asking him to temporarily arrest the big and let the small, so that everyone would not be in danger. Although Cen Chunxuan was a little dissatisfied with this, he also understood the reason why Fang Zida asked for this. Thinking about the way Ming Taizu peeled and slapped grass, the methods of the Supervision Department were far more vicious and ruthless. However, the entire Ming Dynasty still rose to corrupt officials. First, the salary of the Ming Dynasty officials was pitifully small, and secondly, there were also reasons for the political demise. Fang Zida established the Supervision Department but did not

It is just to solve the corruption problem for a period of time, but to make it a long-term policy to be implemented. Although crude means are effective in a short period of time, long-term implementation will also cause a strong backlash in society. Fang Zida knew very well what these Chinese officials are. If this policy is successful, it requires long-term support and changes in people's concepts. If Cen Chunxuan takes everything he wants, it will offend the entire officialdom, which is very unfavorable to the long-term implementation of this policy.

For this reason, Fang Zida asked Cen Chunxuan to arrest the big and let the small, which was to establish the authority of the Supervision Department, and to give the officialdom a deterrent and warning, and to give some officials who had little mistakes a chance to repent and reform. Of course, after a period of time, if there are still people who are obsessed with and unchanged, then don’t blame the Supervision Department for taking action again.

After several consecutive months of anti-corruption attacks, by July 1920, the entire Chinese administration was cleared. Both officials at all levels were restrained under this high pressure, and the government efficiency was also greatly improved. Among the people, Cen Chunxuan had great prestige and was called the rebirth of the blue sky by the people. The work of the Supervision Department has since opened up and become a powerful institution for state supervision officials, preventing corruption and implementing integrity.
