Chapter 39: Electricity with Love
Langguan is 300 stones, or a Beijing official, and the post supervisor is more than 200 stones, and the county official is only.
Fifth Lun didn't need to bow to the superintendent at all, just bow his hand, but Ma Yuan had to get up and go down to see him.
When he saw Ma Yuan's appearance, Fifth Lun couldn't help but take a second look.
This superintendent is tall, at least seven feet five inches when he stands up, and is in his thirties, with dark hair and picturesque eyebrows.
Ma Yuan is the most handsome person Wu Lun has ever seen in this life...... I just don't know if he has a sister at home?
Ma Duyou was also observing the fifth lun, staring at him for a while before slapping his hands and smiling: "With grace, he deserves to be the 'fifth lang of filial piety'." ”
It seems that the reputation he brushed earlier is still somewhat useful, and Wu Lun coughed lightly: "Ma Duyou, my eldest father ...... it."
Ma Yuan waved his hand: "The matter has been clarified." ”
He said: "It is true that the concubines of the Xian Yu clan have a mistake, and the Ru family sent pears instead of money and silk, after all, nearly half of the Luyou family in the county have had dealings with Xian Yu Bao for profit, and it is common to mistake one or two." ”
This is what Wu Lun didn't expect, he just made a special trip to remember some cases of the Spring and Autumn Prison Break, and wanted to refute with Ma Yuan, but this is over before it starts?
Fifth Lun immediately understood that since Ma Yuanneng sent someone to summon the Fifth Tyrant for questioning, indicating that the evidence was sufficient, as for whether it was conclusive or not, whether he wanted to stab Wuwei Si Ming was actually just a thought of the superintendent.
And Ma Yuan chose to help his family, which made Wu Lun full of doubts.
Ma Yuan also saw it, and said after shielding the left and right: "Bo Yu is thinking, why did I stop tracking down the Ru family?" ”
"Didn't the superintendent say that my family didn't ask for help?"
Fifth Lun was worried that this was Ma Yuan's deliberate doing, just to trick him.
Ma Yuan sighed: "If you are so careful, then the Boyu will have a prestigious reputation, which is too boring." ”
Fifth Lun spread his hands and smiled: "I am Lang Guan, and Zhilu is bigger than the post superintendent." ”
"But with Ma Dupost's family history, a dignified family of 6,000 stones, it will not be worth looking at this mere 300 stones."
After that, seeing Ma Yuan smiling and not answering, he wouldn't be the same as Yuan Shi and Wan Xuan, and he wanted to borrow himself to make a name for himself, right?
But this style is not very similar, after the fifth Lun groaned, I thought of hearing Jing Dan mention outside, Ma Yuan repeatedly refused to be conquered by the imperial court, more resolute than him, even if he didn't learn too much, even Lang Guan refused to do it, could it be that he was dissatisfied with the dynasty?
In addition, he remembered the title of "General Fubo Ma Yuan" of this person, it should not be from the New Dynasty, maybe he is also a potential thief.
Fifth Lun's mind turned, and he also planned to test Ma Yuan, so he told a story.
"I'm in Chang'an, and I've heard about the former Jingzhao Yin Sun Bao, and I remember a sentence."
Fifth Lun said in a low voice: "The jackal is crossing, it is not appropriate to ask the fox again!" ”
"What a Goro! If you are a fox, who is a jackal? ”
Ma Yuan's expression, which originally felt a little boring, immediately became wonderful again.
The fifth Lun did not leak, and said with a smile: "When I say the right to supervise the postage, it is not praised." ”
Ma Yuan was satisfied, but his character was like this, meeting and talking with the fifth Lun, it was like drinking at a party, and the wine was in his throat, so he was exhausted, and he didn't say much, only waved his hand to catch up with the fifth Lun.
"I can't say it anymore, go quickly, if you don't leave, I'm afraid I'm afraid that even you will be arrested!"
……
"I actually owe Ma Yuan a big favor first."
After walking out of the county temple, the fifth Lun breathed a sigh of relief, this incident was so dangerous that he immediately went to report the good news to the fifth tyrant, Jing Dan and others who were waiting outside, but he heard a cry again.
Looking back, it was a family member who was rarely praised, during his time as the county magistrate, he lived in the backyard of the large county temple and enjoyed the treatment of a prince, but now he was forced out of the county temple under the persecution of officials.
After his own affairs are settled, Wu Lun can only care about others, what is the crime of taking bribes?
is still the same Zuo Fengyi Xue Xuan who persuaded his subordinates not to 996, and Xiu Muri hurried home to hug his wife and children.
When Xue Xuan was in office, Chi Yang of the county ordered the prison to be an honest official, and before Xue Xuan had time to conquer it, someone accused the prison of accepting bribes from the prisoners' families.
Can this also be cheap? Xue Xuan was furious and instructed the superintendent to conduct a thorough investigation, and finally found out that it was Prison Peng's wife who received money, a total of 16,000, and Prison Peng did not know about it.
But even so, he was still disqualified as an honest official for the crime of "accepting money from household furniture", and he had to be held responsible. Under the double pressure of public opinion and legal decrees, the prison was afraid of committing suicide.
If you don't commit suicide, I am afraid that not only will you lose your official position, but both husband and wife will be flogged.
And there must be more than this number of people who are rarely praised, if it is strictly investigated, the heavier one will abandon the market, and his family will be raided, and his family members will most likely become official slaves.
It can be seen that regardless of the Han Dynasty or the New Dynasty, the punishment for corruption and bribery is still large. But what Wu Lun saw, I am afraid that there are only a few people in the county who are honest and honest, such as Zhang Zhan and Jing Dan, and the rest regard bribery as commonplace, until Wang Mang suddenly came out like this, and immediately exploded.
What Wu Lun didn't expect was that as a representative of the county's Qing officials, Jing Dan was actually quite sympathetic to Xian Yubao, a corrupt official.
The fifth tyrant and the others went home, and the fifth Lun still had to stay in the city to watch the after-effects, and he was still resting at Jing Dan's house. ”
"In this dynasty, officials from poor families really can't survive if they are not bribed."
Speaking of the days he personally experienced, Jing Dan's words were bitter: "From the second year of the founding of the People's Republic of China to June of the year before last, it was six and a half years. The Son of Heaven cited 'the production is undecided, and the state is insufficient'. From the prince to the small officials, they are not allowed to be married."
What, Wang Mang doesn't even pay his salary?
Fifth Lun almost didn't squirt out a mouthful of water, and only one word flashed through his mind.
"Use ...... Generate electricity with love? ”
……
"In the former Han Dynasty, Bo Yilu was rich in the military, and the small officials were originally low."
No matter which dynasty, the grassroots workers are not easy to mix, the Western Han Dynasty officials, from the three dukes known as ten thousand stones, to the county below 100 stones, a total of more than 20 levels, the more to the grassroots, the thinner the Lu. The petty officials have a meager salary, it is difficult to support their families, and they have to do the most tiring work, so the local government affairs are naturally slack.
When Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was in order to solve the problem of making ends meet, he also gave a rise in the amount of 100 stones, an increase of 50%.
But when he arrived in the new dynasty, he drove a reverse.
After Jing Dan explained carefully, Wu Lun learned that this reckless officials were not all using love to generate electricity, and in order to prevent them from starving to death, the imperial court would still send something.
From the secretary of state to the minister, officials have one horse of silk and one or two horses of linen every month, and if they are exchanged for money and grain, it is barely enough for three to eight people to live, and no more.
Jing Dan said: "Compared with the former Han Dynasty's Yulu, it is more than half lower, and the officials in the world are full of complaints. I still have a few acres of land to rent in my hometown, and I still have food and clothing, but it is difficult for a landless official. ”
"There are even some attached cities that are expensive as the marquis of Guannei, but because they are not enough to support their families, they are in Chang'an City to be a mediocre protector."
As a result, there were more and more encroachments on the fishermen.
"The officials of the township officials are thin, and since the clothes of the carriages and horses cannot be taken from the above, they are obtained from the people below. Those who only accept bribes to the extent that they are enough are already good officials, but evil officials who are greedy by nature will peel off their skin and extract the marrow, regardless of the lives of the people. ”
As for those who collude with local tyrants to make profits and increase production, there are even more innumerable.
After six years like this, until the third year of Tianfeng (16 AD), Wang Mang finally remembered, oh, it's time to pay salaries to the officials of the world!
Jing Dan still remembered the joy of the officials at that time, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty said that every thought of the officials must not be reluctant, and it is not unrelated to each other. Now the most difficult season has passed, although the treasury is still not full, but it can barely make a fortune, so it started at the beginning of June in the third year of Tianfeng, and the officials are like a system. ”
"The four auxiliary ministers, secretaries, doctors, scholars, down to the bureaucrats, have a total of fifteen ranks. The lowest-ranking bureaucrats, sixty-six stone of grain a year, increased slightly, up to four auxiliary as much as ten thousand stone. ”
It turns out that Yulu does not necessarily coincide with the rank.
In the first month after the fifth Lun became an official, he had not yet received it, and he did not have enough of this concept, so he asked: "Compared with the former Han, is it more or less?" ”
When it comes to jobs, Jing Dan can calculate it clearly: "After Emperor Xuan of the former Han Dynasty, the bureaucrats' moon was eight stones, while the current dynasty was six stones. As officials of three hundred stones, if we were in the previous dynasty, the moon in our hands was forty stones, but now it is thirty-eight and a half stones. ”
Even if you don't make up for six and a half years, it's still less than the previous dynasty, and this new recklessness is simply dead. Fifth Lun has been a social animal, if the boss of any company does this, you can imagine how much resentment the low-level employees have.
By the way, what about high-ranking officials?
Jing Dan said: "It's rising, the prime minister of the previous dynasty, the imperial historian, and the Taiwei Yuecheng are three hundred and fifty stones, and the four assistants of this dynasty have ten thousand stones a year, and the monthly salaries are as many as more than eight hundred stones!" ”
Sure enough, it's a pity that Wang Mang doesn't go to open a company.
Jing Dan also said: "In addition, the officials in the world are more than 2,000 stones, and those who are old and wise can still receive one-third of the original salary until the end of their old age." ”
This is...... Pension?
Although the salary of the low-level officials has not increased but decreased, it is better than the most difficult six years, right? It's not a strange currency that will be abolished at some point because of the serious depreciation, but real food, at least enough to make ends meet, isn't it?
However, it is not......
Jing Dan was angry when he said this: "We are still happy too early, and there is another edict issued at the same time. ”
"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land; The guest of the land is none other than the king's minister. Hundreds of bureaucrats are supported by the people, and it is said that in the three generations, the saints all encountered a good harvest and a bad harvest. Therefore, if the year is good, the people will harvest enough, and there will be more, and if the year is not good, the people will have less harvest, and they will be less. This is called joying and sorrow with the people. ”
Sounds good, KPIs and performance are set for officials, full of creativity, but the fifth Lun smiled a little ugly, Wang Mang, Wang Mang, you can always surprise people.
Wang Mang is indeed doing this seriously, listening to Jing Dan said, the imperial court has also formulated a meticulous distribution: Taishi, the founding general of the country, protect the three eastern states and one of the twenty-five counties; Taifu and former generals protect 25 counties in the first part of the two southern states; National Division, General Ning Shi, Baoxi One Prefecture, Two Divisions, and Twenty-five Counties; The general and the general Wei protected the twenty-five counties of the two northern states.
"As for the six divisions and the six secretaries, they all follow the disasters of their counties and counties, and they will be damaged by the annual harvest and tax surplus."
This is...... Hooking? Wu Lun touched his chin and told himself that it was time to get used to it, and he should not be surprised no matter what he heard Wang Mang do.
"The original intention of the Son of Heaven is to hope that the officials of this dynasty will work together to persuade agriculture and Yuan Yuanyan, but it is just ......"
Jing Dan shook his head: "Tianfeng has been three years, four years, two consecutive years, and the state and county have been impermanent. Especially in Lienwei County, north of the Changping Pavilion in Jingshui Yongsai, it was diverted, causing a catastrophe, and the county's tax revenue was halved that year, so from the county Yin to the county order and even our small officials, it was all half! ”
And the fifth Lun learned that as a Lang official, his fortune would also be added as a profit or loss according to the reserve of the Taiguan's warehouse. According to last year's national harvest, the first monthly salary is estimated to be halved, so I couldn't help but greet Wang Mang in my heart.
Jing Dan finally said: "Natural disasters are enemies, officials because of the lack of money, so the disease relapsed, each because of the official position for treachery, receiving bribes to provide for themselves, Xian Yu praise is only one of them, but he only collects a little bribe, the county is still diligent, but it is a capable official." ”
After listening to Jing Dan's narration, the fifth Lun was smooth.
Wang Mang, who really wants to take the officials of the whole world to be a saint with him, advocates simplicity on the front foot, calls on everyone to wear ugly clothes and patches, and on the back foot to fight corruption. Perhaps, in addition to cutting the leeks of corrupt officials to replenish the national treasury, they also hope to eradicate corruption with harsh laws?
"I want the horses to run, and I want the horses not to eat grass."
Fifth Lun shook his head, of course corruption is a big evil, but the new reckless national conditions are like this, at least half of the corrupt officials are forced out by this strange system.
Therefore, Jing Dan will have a certain sympathy for Xian Yu's praise, and sighed: "This so-called upper has no way, and there is no way to keep it." ”
Mencius said this sentence well, Xin Mang has no fixed standard, and the order changes every day, but he hopes that the subordinates will fulfill their duties and abide by the law, isn't it absurd?
He asked again: "How does Bo Yu think this matter will end in the end?" ”
Fifth Lun groaned, there are two thousand stones in the world, except for a few people such as Zhang Zhan, how many of them are clean?
And the new dynasty's control over the grassroots is so poor, the anti-corruption relies on a group of postal supervisors who are more than 200 stones, and the salary is not high, thinking of the notoriety of "supervising postal posts" in later generations, I am afraid that there are many corrupt officials.
Even if law enforcement is exchanged, why should people put their heads on the waistband of their pants, desperately risk offending Haoqiang with 2,000 stones, and sell their lives to Wang Mang?
The horse assisted the horse and supervised the post, and probably saw the reason for this clearly, so he didn't want to care, so it was not appropriate to ask the fox again, and let the fifth clan and the horse go.
But the postal governors of other counties, I'm afraid they want to turn around and grasp the small and magnify, so that they can not only give Wuwei Si Ming and Wang Mang an explanation, but also not offend the right officials.
"I'm afraid it's only about the fox, not the jackal!"
"I want to go with Boyu." Jing Dan sighed: "This time it must be a few forbidden rapes, the more rape is more, the desire to cure greed, greed is fierce!" ”
In a word, the current situation of Xinmang is that if you don't fight corruption, you will lose the country, and if you fight corruption, I am afraid you will also lose the country! And it's a quick death!
Wang Mang's previous restructuring has offended Haoqiang, industry and commerce, civilians and even slaves and maids, and the Yulu system has already chilled the hearts of officials.
Except for a few hardcores, as well as that group of students, all walks of life in the world are afraid that they will be separated from the new room.
There is more than the fifth Lun, even Jing Dan feels the precariousness of this edifice: "Mencius has a saying, the court does not believe, the work does not believe, the gentleman commits righteousness, the villain commits punishment, and the survivor of the country is fortunate." ”
Jing Dan looked at his beloved wife who was sifting grain rice under the tree, and his son who was holding a book to memorize, and he was worried: "But how many years can this luck and tranquility last?" ”
……
At noon the next day, the fifth Lun returned to the fifth mile, and several people outside the dock courtyard hurriedly came to surround him, but it was the fourth clan's people.
When they saw that the fifth tyrant came out safely, but their patriarch was still locked up in the county temple, they couldn't help but become anxious, and they could only count on the fifth official to help.
But the fifth clan himself relied on horse aid to raise his noble hand to retreat, and Zhang Zhan thanked the guests again, how could there be a way to say something?
Before the fifth Lun could comfort the clansmen, another person came belatedly, bowed to him when he came in, and made a big salute.
"I also hope that Bo Yunian is on the relatives of the same clan, and he can also help my father!"
It turned out to be the son-in-law of the first clan, the first level.
Their family finally stopped pretending to be dead, and the fifth Lun did not move, only one sect brother, and invited the first and fourth families to enter the hospital to speak, thinking secretly in their hearts, it seems that Wang Mang's anti-corruption trip to the front line is not all bad.
After seeing and hearing in the past few months, and witnessing Wang Mang's various riotous operations, Wu Lun became more and more sure that the world would fall into inevitable chaos in the next few years.
Someone will be dragged down by the collapsed dynasty in the chaotic world, and there will be no recovery, but for the fifth Lun personally.
"Chaos, too, ladders!"
