Anyone who colludes with the persons listed in the preceding two paragraphs to commit corruption shall be punished as an accomplice...

.......

Whoever commits the crime of embezzlement, regardless of the severity of the circumstances, shall be sentenced to death. —Excerpt from "New Song Laws"

......

The New Song Law was amended to provide a series of interpretations and regulations on the punishment of serious crimes against official corruption, and the news was even published in the New Song Daily and distributed to officials at all levels of state and county.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar among officials.

This time, Jiang Yin seemed to have made a lot of determination, and directly came to a plan to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, and the embezzler died, these four words, for the officials of the New Song Kingdom, are undoubtedly not a sharp sword hanging over their heads, so that all the officials are conscientious and do not dare to cross the thunder pool by half a step.

Jiang Yin's golden finger can freeze time at will, and it can also allow him to teleport, which allows him to easily investigate the private life of any official in the New Song Kingdom.

And those officials who have a very wealthy private life are included in his key investigations.

Regarding this law and regulation established by Jiang Yin, Yang Guangyi, Shi Shouxin, Li Jixun and others tried their best to oppose that the Great Song Dynasty would not kill scholars, which can be said to ensure the high status of the scholar class in the entire society.

In addition to rebelling, no matter how great the crime of the scholar was committed, he would only be distributed 2,000 li at most, and he could not directly take his life.

In fact, this is also a tradition left by Zhao Kuangyin to protect the literati when he founded the country.

As literati of the scholar class, they are also confident and proud because of this iron law, after all, as long as they can become officials, they can be regarded as successfully integrated into the circle of literati, and even if they do something wrong in the future, they are all forgivable.

Therefore, in the society of this era, everyone wants to be an official, and being an official can not only display their ambitions, but also have a gold medal to avoid death, why not do it.

....

However, the tradition of the Great Song Dynasty for more than 20 years is actually going to be broken by Jiang Yin, the new Song Dynasty lord.

To tell the truth, although Jiang Yin, the lord of the New Song Dynasty, is young, he is indeed very benevolent to the class of officials, and the high salary and pension policy he provided made the living standards of officials in the New Song Dynasty indeed maintain the middle and upper class.

But it is not enough to become a wealthy person who enjoys a luxurious life just by virtue of the salary of an official.

Officials with power in their hands can actually get a lot of money from rich businessmen just by moving their fingers, so many officials of the New Song Dynasty have taken the olive branches thrown by rich businessmen.

Collusion between officials and businessmen for mutual benefit and win-win results.

There are many officials with gray income, and they all feel that this kind of life is so, very beautiful.

....

From the point of view of the individual, this is indeed a good thing for self-interest, but from the macro point of view of the state, the more such things happen, the more it will be like drinking poison to quench thirst, which will gradually cause the entire state apparatus to gradually begin to decay from the inside, and begin to degenerate from the roots.

One day, black-hearted businessmen stepped on the heads of the people, exploited the people, and squeezed the last drop of blood from the people, while the corrupt government continued to take bribes from the black-hearted businessmen.

The people will break out in an uprising that will destroy everything.

What can never be denied is that the lowest level of the world, the number of people will always be the largest, these people usually have no power, they may take a meager salary, do a job that everyone looks down on, just like a dispensable person in society.

But when a large number of such people are cornered, the power they can burst out can cause a country's power to collapse quickly and change hands.

The ancients of more than 1,000 years may not have summarized this kind of thing, but as a modern person in the 21st century, Jiang Yin has seen all such examples from the reincarnation of history.

Corruption is a trivial matter, but it is also a root of disease hidden in the bones of the infant country of the New Song Dynasty.

Now, there is nothing terrible about it, and it can even make the economy of the new Song Kingdom look a little more prosperous.

But with the slow development of time, it will gradually grow up and become a demon that can swallow the new Song, and if Jiang Yin does not set the seeds of destruction and seal it in time at the time of the founding of the country, when he jumps out, then it will be too late.

......

But in this world, there are always some people who are more courageous.

Even if Jiang Yin said that the embezzler died, some people still took it as a deaf ear.

Among the first batch of generals of the Great Song Dynasty who Jiang Yin surrendered, there was a deputy general called Chenfu, this deputy general was Yang Jiushu's intimate deputy general, this person is good at everything, but there is one thing that is not good, he loves money very much.

Jiang Yin didn't know it before, but when investigating the officials, Jiang Yin secretly teleported to his home to observe, only to find out that this minister, who only served as a grain governor, had embezzled so many things in the six months after surrendering to the New Song Dynasty.

In Chenfu's home, Jiang Yin saw gold and silver inlaid jewels everywhere, as well as the huge blood coral that was priceless, and many exquisite and exquisite utensils.

These things, according to the price of the new Song Dynasty, I am afraid that they will exceed 100,000 guan, and this minister's payment, a month's monthly salary is only 1,000 guan, and there is no other way for a collection of 100,000 guan except corruption.

During the 'Strike Hard' period, Jiang Yin naturally would not let him go, and ordered the supervisor of Dali Temple to lead a group of Praetorian Guards to thoroughly investigate the mansion of the grain superintendent and the minister.

Finally, together with the golden Buddha statue in the cellar, a total of 150,000 yuan was investigated for the amount of corruption and bribery paid by this minister, and the money he embezzled mainly came from businessmen who did business with the army.

Therefore, this minister attached himself to the big fast meat of the military and sucked blood fiercely.....

For this kind of behavior, although Yang Jiushu pleaded with his ministers, Jiang Yin still ordered him to be beheaded without the slightest sympathy.....

.......

After beheading this person, the atmosphere of the officialdom of the New Song Kingdom was shocked in vain, and Zhu Dong, Tao Yue, and Zhou Shi took advantage of the situation in the New Song Kingdom to put forward a wave of "self-denial and revenge, guarding the heart and respecting righteousness", and this slogan was also carried out by Jiang Yin with great fanfare.......
