Sun Chunming and about 100 people led by Song Zhusi wrapped up the entire second floor of Fengle Building, which was regarded as putting wine to make amends for their sins, Sun Chunming was not bad for money, and he was not a stingy person.

"Brothers, this official knows that you all have a conscience, and the incident happened suddenly and you were wronged, so I will give you a cup and make amends to you."

Everyone didn't dare not give face, another group of more than 100 people just slapped their butts in front of them, the beating was bloody and blurred, and in addition to this, there are dozens of people who are still in prison and have not been released, according to Sun Chunming, this is to be convicted, exiled and exiled, should be killed, and will not be merciful.

Everyone realized that this new envoy Sun was a genuine ruthless character.

Song Zhisi, who is still relatively face-saving, came out to speak on behalf of everyone: "What Lord Sun means, we all understand that we are in the bureau, and we have indeed done some things in the same stream, but we have no choice, we all have wives and children, and we all have to support our families, and the court does not give us money, and we ...... If Lord Sun can find a way to solve this problem and ask the court for a salary, not to be rich and expensive, at least so that we can have a relatively good life, we promise that from now on, Lord Sun will be the first to look forward, but if you don't come to this salary...... Alas, we can't help it. ”

Sun Chunming said with a smile: "Salary, there must be no salary, and I won't care about the court to ask for it, so this heart, you will die." ”

"Huh? This ......"

Some of those who were more anxious had already shouted: "Envoy Sun, do you want the brothers to wash their hands and feet, and not give the brothers money, and the brothers drink the northwest wind to feed the whole family?" ”

Sun Chunming was not annoyed, but said lightly: "Don't worry, since I dare to touch this piece, I am naturally prepared, the official family is not bad for hungry soldiers, and it is impossible for Kaifeng Mansion to really point to you to carry forward the style of starving to death of the family, but how to send this money, but it can't be simply raised." ”

When he said this, Sun Chunming's face was not red or breathless, but in fact, he was a little empty in his heart, the official system of the Song Dynasty can be called the head of the tumor of the Great Song Dynasty, and all dynasties have been trying to find a way, but without exception, it is all useless, and Sun Chunming does not know whether he can do this set or not.

The problem of the Song Dynasty's official system is not just as simple as the fish and meat people, the state capital level is relatively good, down to the county and township level, basically these officials are in charge, the general chief official is purely an empty shell, and even has the cow fork, the county lord also has to give gifts to the priest, and it is not that there is nothing worse, such as the Song Jiang and Song priests in the Water Margin, although it is fictional, but there are also some camps, sometimes these people occupy the mountain as the king, as long as they do not beat the anti-flag in a grand manner, there is really no way to take them.

The Northern Song Dynasty court did not think about sending money, in fact, the Northern Song Dynasty court was the richest court in the feudal dynasties, and even gave Confucius officials and other senior officials eighty times 'Houlu' when Shenzong, you must know that the salary of the county lord is only twenty yuan (not counting the 'bonus' such as rice silk given by the imperial court), and Xining was more than 370,000 yuan in eight years, and it increased year by year, which is not a 'warehouse law'. But in fact, it doesn't work for bullshit.

The reason why this is the case, in addition to the layers of officials, there are many very complex reasons, but in the final analysis, it is nothing more than the distance from the imperial court to the officials, and the work of the officials is too complicated, there is no way to do a specific analysis of the specific situation, and then to the root, the local government has no money, the prefect's power is too small, everything is consulted by the central government, and the central government cannot do the work specifically to one township and one county, so this is actually still a pot of strong cadres and weak branches.

If Sun Chunming just wants to solve the problem of the officials in Kaifeng, it is indeed relatively simple, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, these officials are really nothing, as long as the salary is applied down, and then the strict supervision of grace and power is implemented, naturally they are not afraid of trouble.

But as a dignified traverser, the first fire burned by the new official when he took office, if it was as simple as that, then he would not have been laughed at by Sun Yue to death? If you want to do it, you have to use a method that can be used as a pilot to promote the whole country, so that Zhao Kuangyin and a group of court bigwigs can see what a real national warrior is.

"I thought of a way, I plan to try it in Kaifeng City first, if it is feasible, the whole country can use this as the basis for doing things in the future, and the two kings have agreed to this."

"I wonder what kind of magic the adults have come up with?"

"It's not good, three words, just a fee."

"Fee?"

"Yes, I plan to add a handling fee on top of the tax, which will be drawn up by the state government or even the county government itself, and then distributed to the officials of each province as a salary, to give the simplest example, for example, the catchers and gamblers, in addition to the labor and the gambling money, we must also collect their fines, this money can be separated from the tax, and not handed over to the various transit envoys, half of it will be left to the brothers on the front line, and the head of the capital will divide the money, and the other half will be collected by the yamen, and the priest will be responsible for distribution. Profits are distributed to those who do not personally go to the front line for paperwork and other work. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.

Sun Chunming said: "To put it simply, anyone looking for you to do something, you have to stuff some money, not to mention anything else, even with such a hard background behind me, opening this Fengle Building, it has also been stuffed out of nearly 20 times, whether it is a lawsuit, or a marriage register, as little as 10 or 20 yuan, and more than 2 times to force people to death, right, I mean, is to use this money as a fixed number to form a system, not too much, not too little, it is everyone's hard work, but at the same time, an anti-corruption department will be set up." , In addition to this money, if anyone dares to be greedy again, then the court will serve. ”

Song Abbot said in disbelief: "Eh...... Master Sun, I understand, do you mean it...... Can we legally make a name for it in the future? ”

Sun Chunming was amused, and said with a smile: "What do you think, you can still be legally corrupt, there is a standard for fees, and this standard, Kaifeng City is set by our two kings, and other places will also be set by local officials in the future, and the county-level fee collection standard must be reported to the state government, and the state government will also send people to supervise and review, and the government-level handling fee will be reported to the various road supervisors and transfer envoys, so that it can not only be adapted to local conditions, but also placed under the supervision of the imperial court, what do you think, what is this policy?" ”

All the officials looked at each other, and they were a little stunned for a while.

The term handling fee is too novel for them, anyway, they can legally accept bribes in the future, but there is a limit to the number? Anyway, people are officials, since there is no opinion above, then let's try it.

Sun Chunming's set of policies is exactly the part of the country's all-out reform after the 21 st century, but although this set of policies is outdated and even a cancer in the 21 st century, it is not a good policy in the Northern Song Dynasty.

In essence, the actual meaning of this policy is to recycle the right to embezzle and accept bribes from small officials to the hands of local officials, and then send it down, it is true that if you encounter moth-eaten officials, you are helpless, but at least the officials can still have a little face, they have all read the books of sages, and they are directly supervised by the imperial court, at least they are much better than these small officials, and the corruption of officials in the Northern Song Dynasty is still okay, at least much stronger than that of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
