Tsarist Russia: Please Call Me Your Majesty The Tsar

Chapter 36 Huge Amount Of Stolen Money (Fourth Change, Please Collect It!)

After the meeting, the top officials of the Tsarist Russian Empire left one after another.

Many ministers returned home in a hurry, apparently calculating how much corruption they had committed over the years.

In order to save his own life, I am afraid that all the stolen money will have to be handed over.

Otherwise, once Mikhail II came for real, wouldn't they have to go to the prison to accompany Sergei Witte?

"Akinfev, it's up to you from now on. I will let the intelligence department and the army fully cooperate with you. The officialdom of the Tsarist Russian Empire is completely rotten. If you don't clean it up, the consequences will be very serious. Even Therefore, our empire will have no future." Mikhail looked serious.

In another time and space, isn't the reason why the Buddist Party can succeed precisely because the people of the Tsarist Russian Empire have been completely disappointed with the entire country? Therefore, they fully support the cloth party.

Now, the lives of ordinary people are already very bad. Although, everyone is still silently enduring. But Mikhail knew that if no changes were made, the consequences would be very serious.

The finances of the Tsarist Russian Empire were heavily in debt. And if he wants to make drastic reforms in industry, transportation, military and agriculture, he needs a lot of money.

The stolen money handed over by these officials, and even the property of those guys, is undoubtedly an important source of these funds.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will do my best. However, the officials of the empire are rarely clean. If they do so, I am afraid it will cause great turmoil." Akinfiev 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 in chaos. Even if there are some small disturbances, they can be easily resolved. Next, you can start with the high-level officials of the empire .Then, push it down level by level. Of course, there is no need to be too harsh. As long as the majority of the stolen money handed over by those officials is handed over, it will be fine, and there is no need to be completely truthful. No problem. Of course, I will further improve the treatment of officials in the future, so that they will no longer have excuses for corruption. After that, if there are still people who do anything else, it will naturally not be tolerated, and they will be severely punished!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Akinfev nodded, understanding what Mikhail meant.

As the saying goes, when the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when people observe it, there will be no disciples.

Human desires are endless, which makes it impossible for many people to completely withstand temptation.

The Tsarist Russian Empire was so big and had so many officials. It is simply impossible to keep all officials clean.

It is foreseeable that the Imperial Supervision Department will be busy next time.

Mikhail hoped that the Imperial Supervision Department would become a sharp sword hanging over the heads of the officials, so that they would be cautious and not too arrogant when they acted. In that case, it would be the best for the Tsarist Russian Empire.

If within five years, or even ten years, the official atmosphere of the Tsarist Russian Empire can be cleared up, that would be great.

The first thing after the establishment of the Imperial Supervision Department was to thoroughly investigate the former finance minister and confiscate all his property.

Many officials of the Imperial Supervision Department are retired intelligence officers.

No matter in terms of interrogation or investigation, they are all experts.

Within a week, the Ministry of Supervision clarified Sergey Witte's corruption and family property over the years.

When Akinfev sent the relevant report to Mikhail, he was also shocked.

Although Mikhail knew that Sergei Witte was a big corrupt official, he only realized now that he still underestimated his greed. This is clearly a huge greed!

Sergei Witte has deposits in the bank, as well as gold, jewelry, and antiques collected from his home, as well as his land, shops, and mansions in various places, as well as shares in companies he holds shares in, etc.

All together, there are a full 2.5 billion rubles.

You know, the annual fiscal revenue of the Tsarist Russian Empire is only 1.2 billion rubles!

No wonder the people of the Tsarist Russian Empire lived in dire straits. It turned out that these guys had embezzled too much.

Mikhail directly demanded a trial of Sergei Witte.

In the end, the court sentenced Sergei Witte to hang and executed immediately.

The place of execution was just outside the Kremlin's Red Square.

For a time, the entire Mosk people crowded here to witness Sergei Witte being hanged.

And this was undoubtedly a great shock to the officials of the entire Tsarist Russian Empire.

At this moment, they understood that the new tsar was undoubtedly much more ruthless than the previous tsars!

At the same time, other officials of the Tsarist Russian Empire, especially those from various cabinet ministries, were also successively summoned by the Ministry of Supervision, asking them to confess their crimes and hand over the stolen money.

All the cabinet ministers also voluntarily handed over the stolen money. Although, it is not all of them greedy for ink, but it can be regarded as the vast majority. This undoubtedly set a very good example. The other officials naturally did not dare to disobey the order, and turned in the stolen money one after another.

For a time, the treasury of the Tsarist Russian Empire quickly filled up.
