Chapter 769: Bribery

As horses took the so-called political aptitude exams, a large number of people began to walk out of the examination room. However, even if Wang Guorui ordered that this exam question is not difficult, it is nothing more than Chinese mathematics and some common sense of life, but judging from the results reported, the results have no effect at all. Even these Chinese and mathematical materials are nothing more than everyday language understanding, and there are some addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within 10,000 digits, but the result will not be much at all. Especially in mathematics, the pass rate is less than 10 percent. This situation makes everyone feel helpless, and this is the current situation in China.

However, those who pass the examination naturally have so-called political rights. With these political rights, they all began to participate in the elections, and then hoped to be able to participate in the election of this parliamentarian. However, how to elect is nothing more than the eight immortals crossing the sea to show their magical powers. However, none of these elections are likely to go so smoothly.

It is in Quanzhou, Wang Guorui's so-called hometown.

"Folks, I am the original Xiucai Wang, and I have the same surname as the current emperor, and I was still a family five hundred years ago! And this time, I am running for this councilor, and I invite all the villagers to cheer! ”

And the surrounding people also listened to the introduction of this Wang Ye here, because this Wang Lao was a big landlord in Quanzhou, and he had a famous name during the Manchu Qing Dynasty. However, Wang Guorui has now abolished the fame and the so-called special class privileges, and this Wang master will also start paying taxes. However, at present, Wang Guorui is preparing for the founding election, and has not implemented the so-called policy of clearing and measuring acres, so this man still has a lot of power, and he still has a lot of land.

And the prestige accumulated over the past years is incomparably huge, and it is not so easy to eliminate. Plus he claims to be a relative of what Wang Guorui. In this way, some people who don't know the truth also give him some face to a certain extent, because he is a "relative of the emperor"!

And now he actually wants to come to the election, hoping to get the so-called election to become a parliamentarian, and then he will become this councillor, which can be regarded as an official. So of course they feel like they want to get this official position. Wang Guorui has cut off the path of ordinary imperial examinations, and those who have adopted a new style of civil service examinations. There are many aspects to be tested in the civil service examination. Not only Chinese, mathematics, etc., but even different departments have different requirements for applying for the exam, so that this old man has no hope.

Wang Guorui still has an age limit for this civil service examination, and Wang Guorui stipulates that the age of ordinary low-level civil service examination cannot exceed 30 years old. Because this is to learn from the experience of the ancient imperial examinations in the past, because in the ancient imperial examinations, some scholars often pinned their lives on this imperial examination, and then passed the examination from young to old. And is there any meaning in their lives? Is it meaningful for a person to be born, then read books and take exams, and then repeat this process for the rest of his life? And delve into these books all my life. And in the end, I learned some things that are useless in life.

Even they don't do production, they don't engage in agricultural production, they don't do anything else, they produce any economic value. And if he does this for the rest of his life, not only will it not produce any economic benefits, but it will allow others to provide for him. This is really a waste of social resources, so Wang Guorui doesn't think that he will work hard to get into this official all his life. There are many ways to change your fate in the future, even if you are engaged in other industries!

And now I have been studying here for the rest of my life. And then it's a waste of your whole life, not only for yourself. Isn't it a waste for the country? Therefore, Wang Guorui ordered that after the age of 30, he would not be able to take the civil service examination, and he could work in other industries, which would not only produce economic and social benefits, but also promote development, and he would not have to spend his whole life in such a wasted manner.

As for those who were admitted after they were very old in history, they even became a generation of famous ministers. But this Wang Guorui doesn't think that he can completely make people die for the rest of his life. Because China may lack all talents, but there is no shortage of people who want to be officials. There are too many talents in officialdom, which has caused waste. Whenever China has any ideas and achievements, it also hopes to become an official. This has created too many talents in the officialdom. Then talents from other industries are concentrated in officialdom, which is of course not good.

Therefore, Wang Guorui doesn't want everyone to regard being an official as the only way out, but just hopes to be able to divert most of the talents, so that it can be regarded as a normal society. Otherwise, everyone is thinking about becoming an official, so what hope is there?

However, at present, those people still hope to be officials. The vast majority of these lifters are over thirty years old, but Wang Guorui does not recognize their identity as lifters, and on the other hand, they are all over thirty years old, and they are not qualified to be officials. And those people also hope to find another way, and then be able to get this election as a legislator, so that they can become officials, right? For them, this parliamentarian is also an official, that is, their only chance to be an official.

However, they don't seem to be planning to go so directly!

"Folks, as long as everyone supports me, I can also give each of you a generation of white rice!" The old man Wang said.

"Oh? Are you sure? As long as we vote, can we all give us a generation of white rice? "A generation of white rice! yes, great? "I support, as long as Master Wang gives us a bag of rice, then we will also support it!" "yes!" ……

Soon, these people also began to put their handprints on the so-called banners supporting Mr. Wang as a councilor, and Mr. Wang also handed out white rice on the spot, anyway, whoever pressed his handprints cashed a bag of white rice on the spot. And this white rice is not much, that is, about ten catties. And when this old man Wang collected this so-called letter of support, he immediately came to the temporary magistrate's yamen, and then claimed to get the position of a councilor. However, the magistrate of Quanzhou immediately began to give orders.

"It's really unreasonable to arrest this guy, this guy not only doesn't follow the normal election process, but also bribes the election here. Grab me! ”

Soon, the police next to him also arrested this old man Wang, obviously not polite at all.

"Lord Zhixian, isn't this an election? How can you arrest someone? The emperor has ordered that the local government cannot arrest parliamentarians at will, you are not legal! Councillors are eligible not to be arrested by the police, for example; The old man began to recite the powers of the councillors that he had read from the pamphlet.

But the magistrate immediately snorted: "Do you just remember the power of the councilor? But you don't see how the councillors came about? ”

"Isn't it just the support of the people?" Master Wang asked with an ignorant expression.

"You have forgotten that the right to vote is one of the political rights, and those who have not passed the examination have no right to vote. So how many of your handprints are supported by the people who have the right to vote? You have such a big banner, you don't even have someone who can write your own name, so you want to have the right to vote here? Only by passing the political examination can you obtain political rights, and the vast majority of you, the people, are people who have no political rights. So their vote is invalid. ”

"Also, I've heard the report on dried vegetables, and you actually use food to get those people to support you? This is an out-and-out bribery, so how can it be true. The magistrate said.

"What's in this? I give them white rice, they support me, what's not to do? "Master Wang doesn't know what's going on.

"You are a bribe, and it is expressly forbidden. Let me tell you, you are absolutely not okay with bribery. And bribery is a crime, so you're arrested now. What's more, you don't meet the process of parliamentarians' property, do you think that parliamentarians just give a letter to the people? The election of members of parliament is to be held at a designated time and place, and it is not enough for you to send a letter to the people. So, not only do you not conform to the process, so you're not a councillor, so you can't enjoy the privileges that the councillor has under the law. And you are still suspected of bribery, I will detain you first, and then you will wait for the trial of the judicial department. I am afraid that you will be deprived of this political right and will not be able to retake the exam for ten years. ”

According to the regulations on that election, anyone who commits acts of bribery in the election will not only bear criminal responsibility according to the circumstances, but will also be deprived of political rights. Even after being deprived of political rights, it is not possible to retake the political rights examination for 10 years.

Because of the very, very bad behavior of bribery, Wang Guorui hated it the most. Large-scale bribery is actually even more important than independence to some extent. Layoffs are even more terrible, because the dictatorship may still have some people at the bottom to the top, but the methods adopted are not mainstream. And alone. The people who cut people are not necessarily mediocre people, so dictatorship is a neutral word, and it depends on the circumstances under which you can know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. However, bribery is absolutely bad, once bribery becomes a trend, then this world will be the world of rich people, those rich people use their wealth to become public officials in society, so that they can use their power to get back the wealth of past bribery, and even make a lot of money. At that time, corruption in the country became inevitable, and even there was no place for poverty. Therefore, this bribery must be severely cracked down, otherwise the so-called election will become a game of the rich through and through, and it will not be beneficial to the flow of the upper and lower classes.
