Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1443 - 1235: Countermeasures

"Zihan, how much silver do we still have in our Ministry of Revenue? Is it enough?"

In the great hall, Lin Yi and Xiao Zihan sat facing each other, at this moment, in front of them was a stack of ledgers, these ledgers were records of Dayou’s tax situation, to this, Xiao Zihan felt rather helpless, of course, besides these ledgers, more information was recorded in a special laptop.

This laptop was not an ordinary one, but specially manufactured, built by the Zhaohe Group with special programming, it could be said that this laptop recorded all the tax situations of the entire Dayou country, every single content on those papers was copied into it, and the extent of its comprehensiveness was astonishing.

It is no exaggeration to say that whether it’s a hundred thousand taels, tens of thousands of taels, even hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, or as little as a tael of silver, or just a few pennies, everything was recorded with absolute clarity, which was unprecedented.

It’s no overstatement to say that this system accumulated the hard work of many people, or rather, the level of detail in these records was beyond ordinary understanding.

For instance, how much silver each official takes daily, monthly, or annually, and what their current worth is, all was documented.

This means that if someone exceeds their declared wealth, then there is a problem, meaning a dedicated system would issue an alert, it could instantly pinpoint them, and then a designated team would investigate them, if that person indeed had a criminal record, they would be immediately dismissed or punished accordingly, as such, the efficiency of investigating corrupt and embezzling officials was greatly enhanced.

Originally, a County Magistrate could receive ten taels of silver monthly, so if he received more this time, or if he has extra assets, or if his spending reached a certain level, this person would definitely be investigated.

Also, the officials specially designated to investigate are responsible for capturing these people, and they too hold a ledger, which is the asset list of these officials.

Upon reaching the local area, as long as they investigate this person’s usual spending level, they can ascertain if the person engaged in inappropriate behavior, and they can immediately gather sufficient evidence to easily arrest him.

Currently, only Lin Yi and his team know about this system, as well as those designated to investigate the officials, if this matter were made public, it would certainly cause a massive uproar among the officials, surely startling those individuals making them unable to sleep at night.

Of course, regarding this, Lin Yi had a special arrangement, that is, he only started calculating previous matters from the time he took office.

Therefore, he would not pursue their previous wealth; this would be ignored.

However, there is a downside to this, for if these individuals were investigated and claim that the wealth was acquired beforehand, it would be difficult to explain.

To this, Lin Yi naturally had his own strategies.
