Chapter 142: Prevention of Small Officials and Giant Corruption
Chapter 142: Small officials are not preventing corruption
Chen Ying looked at the confession below and was shocked in an instant. As the chief custodian of Taolin Gold Mine, Wang Xuanqiong embezzled 20,000 taels of gold in two years, equivalent to 200,000 taels of gold. In fact, Chen Ying was shocked.
But I saw a small official named Han Boying who was a seventh-rank Cang Cheng who actually greedyed 9,321 taels of gold in two years.
Seeing this number, ten thousand grass and mud horses whizzed by in Chen Ying's heart.
What is the concept of 9321 taels of gold? This is equivalent to 9321 taels of money. As an official from the seventh rank, Han Boying's salary includes a salary of 25 and 200 coins per year, a salary of 75 s of money, 350 acres of land, plus 20 stakes of money for servants (equivalent to the current bus subsidy), all the legal incomes are accumulated, which is equivalent to about 102 stakes of money, which is equivalent to 102 stakes of money, which is equivalent to 102 stakes of money.
However, this small official embezzled a total of 100,000 jin. If he was not promoted, it would be equivalent to his salary of 1,000 years. However, this is not a special example. There is also an official from the ninth rank, Zhang Xun, who had a salary of even lower, but only 70 jin of money, and he actually embezzled more than 1,400 taels of gold. This is his salary of 200 years.
As the saying goes, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. Wang Xuanqiong takes the lead in corruption, and all the officials at all levels below him, except Zhao Jiqing, all others are corrupt, ranging from thousands to hundreds of taels of gold.
However, since some people's gold has been shipped to Luoyang or squandered, Chen Ying was also very helpless.
However, it was Chen Ying's surprise that he deducted 17,000 taels of gold and more than 50,000 taels of silver from these people.
After reading Zhou Chengdong's entire report, Chen Ying couldn't help but sigh: "This Zhou Chengdong is simply a genius. I don't expect that there are such people in our fierce tiger righteousness."
Yu Qing seemed to disagree with Chen Ying's statement and sighed: "He is not a genius, he is just a ill person."
Chen Ying nodded and said, "Yes, no matter what, Zhou Chengdong made a great contribution this time, making a fuss out of nothing, deducting more than 17,000 taels of gold, and awarding the third-turn military merit is not excessive. Uncle Yu, how do you think you reward him?"
Yu Qing said: "It depends entirely on our own!
Chen Ying thought about it and actually had a problem. Through Wang Xuanqiong's incident, the corruption from bottom to bottom has actually reminded Chen Ying. His family business is getting bigger and bigger, and it is difficult to ensure that no one with ulterior motives can get in.
Interest is actually a difficult gap to fill. Although Chen Ying took the method of dividing dry stocks, it only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. Although the profits of dry stocks are quite different, compared to what is obtained from corruption.
Even if the shares are dividends, because there are too many interests involved, Chen Ying cannot share all the shares. He needs to use the profits of the industry to breastfeed the cub of Datang University of Technology, with more than 6,000 students, and at least five or six hundred teachers. Due to the University of Technology, Chen Ying does not need to hire all famous teachers and scholars, but it is essential for doctors like Wei Meng, Ge Tong, Yan Shihu, Guo Zhun, and Lin Chuanfu who have rich experience in craftsmanship.
Each of the five or six hundred teachers paid a salary of 100 guan. In this way, the salary expenditure for only 50,000 guan a year is 50,000 guan. The food, clothing and expenses of more than 6,000 children, and the education cost in the school cannot be defeated by 100,000 guan. Of course, in the teaching process, a large number of experiments are essential on the basis of theory, but experiments, especially large-scale academic experimental courses, are also very expensive.
Not only this is just a prototype Chenjiabao, with all the school buildings, classrooms, accommodation buildings, sports training venues and a large number of textbooks, the Datang University of Technology requires at least 500,000 guan from its preparation to its inauguration and can be put into use, and it will cost no less than 200,000 guan a year.
In addition, the funds invested in Tang army's standard equipment and renewal will be a bottomless pit. Therefore, Chen Ying could not give too many bonuses to the managers and craftsmen, at most about three points. Compared with hundreds of times the benefits, taking out this little money will definitely make countless people jealous or jealous.
I may not dare to do so, but there are too many people who are driven by interests and take risks. At this time, it is essential to establish a necessary supervision agency within.
Any constraint can only be effectively operated under supervision. Otherwise, the better system will deteriorate. The collapse of the Qin Empire was precisely because of the collapse of the farming and war system of the Qin Empire and the collapse of the Han Empire because local officials were too powerful and lost their constraints. Therefore, the princes attacked each other and fought endlessly. The Tang Empire's decline from prosperity to decline was, after all, because the territory of the government soldiers was occupied by the aristocratic clans, leaving the government soldiers to even maintain the most fundamental food fields. Therefore, this powerful and invincible iron-blooded army crossed the sky like a meteor, splendid and beautiful...
Corruption is the fundamental reason for the collapse of a country, and the reason for this is precisely the reality of the supervision system. Of course, the best way is to allow all officials to access the supervision of the common people. The people's eyes are bright. Only in this way can corruption be eliminated and corruption can last forever.
However, in this era, if Chen Ying wants to implement such a political system reform, he has no ability to do it, unless he can control the government like Huo Guang. However, Huo Guang's fate seems to be not very good. Emperor Xuan of Han not only killed Huo Guang's whole family, but also removed Huo Qubing's grandson Huo Shan and Huo Yun.
Chen Ying decided to implement such a monitoring system in the Jingzhao Chen system where he could hold absolute rights.
Zhou Chengdong was called into the hall by Chen Ying. Chen Ying did not even stay as Nasmo. Only Zhou Chengdong and Chen Ying had a secret conversation.
All night, the candles in Chen Ying's hall were not extinguished all night. There were quarrels from time to time, but Asanosmo firmly implemented Chen Ying's order. Within fifty steps of the hall, no one was allowed to approach, and violators would be killed.
No one knew what Chen Ying had discussed with Zhou Chengdong. Later, according to the seventeenth biographies of "Book of Tang", it was recorded that in the winter and spring of the third year of Wude, the Minister of Works, the Minister of Works, the Minister of the Shangtai of Shaanxi, the Prince's Guest, the champion general, and the Duke of Pengcheng County Ying said: The king's way is the same as the world, and the creation is the same, to save things, and to be the parents of the people. Therefore, the grain of the year does not climb, and pray for sacrifices for the people. The emperor follows the favor of the world; the mountains and rivers are secretly profitable, and the emperor is open to it. If it benefits the people, it will be stingy, and if it gathers, it will only provide relief for the relief... In ancient times, the kings had their own people, either water and fire to help them, or to teach their lives to help them, or to teach their lives to help them, or to teach their hunger, or to train their clothes to remove their clothes. Therefore, Zhou's "Poetry" said that "teaching them to teach them, drinking and eating them", which are all the reasons for stroking and guiding them to support them, and seeking profit for them.
The imperial edict said: "The people's interests are here, as deep as they have been stated. I can pay the eight discussions to hear."
However, the Book of Tang did not leave any words for Chen Ying's secret discussion. The content of the two of them discussed became a secret that is difficult to understand in later generations.
However, since then, Zhou Chengdong, the original tiger ethics, has directly withdrawn from the tiger ethics. Because there are more than 300 people who have withdrawn from the tiger ethics, Zhou Chengdong's withdrawal has not attracted everyone's attention.
Chen Ying also reformed the tiger Yicong, abolished the Sanyitong, and left more than 2,600 people, and reorganized into six regiments. Originally, Chen Tong, an unknown Chen Tong, became the chief supervisor of the tiger Yicong. Zhou Qing and Guo Luo, who were also unknown, became the deputy chief supervisors of the tiger Yicong.
Chen Tong never showed his true face until he met everyone. When he met everyone, he wore a golden tiger-patterned mask on his face. Chen Tong's identity also became a mystery that the righteousness of the tiger has never been solved.
It was not until several years later that Shan Xiongxin's son took his grandson to worship Chen Tong that everyone suddenly realized that the so-called Chen Tong was actually the pseudonym of Shan Xiongxin.
Chen Ying snatched Wang Xuanqiong's vault. He is very rich now, so he is very willful. Of course, Chen Ying knows how to do it and will not mess around. In addition to the Mo Dao Army, because the equipment of the Mo Dao Army soldiers is too bulky, making the Mo Dao Army act as an ordinary crossbowman is a waste of resources. Therefore, all the soldiers except the Mo Dao Army are all given a bow, and all the 82 combat corpses in the entire army are 21,000 bows. As for the crossbow machine, they are specially distributed to all the shooting regiments.
There were seventeen shooting groups, five thousand and one hundred people, one bow, prepared thirty arrows, and the supply was calculated. Five thousand and one hundred crossbow machines, sixty crossbow arrows, and others were equipped with a horizontal knife. As for the spear gun (the long soldier), a bow, thirty arrows, and a horizontal knife. In this way, the entire army had at least two types of weapons. The archers were bullied by the enemy, and it didn't matter, draw out the horizontal knife and chop him.
When the spear spear (long soldiers) encounters a small space, it doesn’t matter if the long soldiers’ weapons cannot be used. We have a horizontal knife, and if we cut it down, we will still have a white knife in and a red knife out.
As for the equipment being too bulky and inconvenient to move, please, some horses in the Tang Dynasty were sold for twenty or even hundreds of war horses in the Song Dynasty, but in the Tang Dynasty, cattle were sold for eight thousand coins, horses could only be sold for five to six thousand coins, twenty thousand war horses, and tens of thousands of war horses. How big is it for Chen Ying, who had only money left?
Chen Ying's precious metals with nearly 800,000 guan at this time were in his hand. If the money was not spent, it would be useless at all. Gold and silver could not be used or eaten. They were just precious metals.
Chen Ying wrote his idea to Li Jiancheng. The letter was written by Chen in plain language, with only a few lines of words: "Your Highness, the prince, I have made a fortune and seized a total of about 700,000 gold and silver. My idea was to use the left and right guards and the left and right guards to strengthen the individual equipment of the entire army. It is expected that 20,000 war horses, 15,000 horizontal swords, 12,000 pairs of Mingguang armor. Five thousand one hundred three-stone crossbows and 200,000 arrows.
Two days later, Li Jiancheng received a secret letter from Chen Ying. The content of the secret letter hit Li Jiancheng's weakness.
But when Wei Zheng saw this letter, he was so angry that he roared like thunder: "General Chen is really a prodigal boy, he doesn't feel sorry for selling his son's land!"
According to Chen Ying's proposal, the left and right guards of the East Palace and the left and right guards of the East Palace and the left and right guards of the East Palace need to invest more than 200,000 jin. The key is that Chen Ying's subordinates do not lack equipment. A large number of materials and equipment seized on the battlefield require so much equipment now. What is this for?
The Eastern Palace has no way to expand its organization, and there is even more no way to talk about the expansion of its army.
