Embezzlement!

Since the establishment of human society, it has quietly appeared.

In the face of corruption, from ancient times to the present, there has been no solution in China and abroad.

How ruthless Zhu Chong's eight killings are, the torture of peeling and pulling grass has been sorted out, what is the result?

Should you be greedy or greedy!

Man dies for money, and birds die for food.

Zhao Da responded to the corruption of officials and gave another set of plans, high salaries and incorruptible pensions.

In terms of Yulu alone, the officials of Zhao and Song Dynasty are not high, and they are only 800 yuan a year, but they can't stand the allowance and benefits.

The first is to add money, a five-grade Zhizhou, can add 30 yuan per month, seven stones of rice, ten stones of noodles, ten sheep, three people, and two horses.

This is followed by meal money, job fields, tea and soup money, and then minister's money.

Finally, there are all kinds of ice money, charcoal money, clothing money, horse money, and house money...... Counting all the miscellaneous allowances and benefits, it is easy for an official of the fifth grade to get three or five thousand yuan a year.

Moreover, every festival in the suburbs, the official family will also issue rewards.

This money is enough to support the rich and luxurious life of officials.

Zhao Da's original intention was to give officials extremely high material conditions, so that officials would no longer engage in corruption.

However, Zhao Da overestimated human nature, and greed is endless.

Han Zhen never felt that he was smarter than the ancients, so many geniuses in ancient and modern China and abroad have not solved it, why does he think he can solve it?

Playing with the eyes of the heart, playing with scheming, these essences are comparable to him as a young man in later generations?

He is self-aware, and the only thing that is stronger than the ancients is the vision that has crossed over in later generations, as well as some miscellaneous knowledge.

At this time, Han Zhen's gaze swept towards Zhao Ting.

Zhao Ting was suddenly shocked.

Sure enough, I saw Han Zhen open his mouth and said, "Zhao Ting, you are experienced, let's talk about it." ”

“……”

Zhao Ting was terrified.

Quietly looked at Han Zhen's expression, and seeing that there was no banter and mockery, he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

The panic in my heart gradually dissipated, but then the embarrassment followed.

What the hell is this experienced?

The other officials did not laugh, and their faces were solemn, because of all the civil officials present, who didn't have any shit on their butts?

Even Xie Ding has accepted filial piety money from below.

It doesn't matter whether he donates the money to poor scholars or builds a school house after he gets the money, as long as he takes it, he can't escape the crime of accepting bribes.

There is no way, since you are in the officialdom, you have to abide by the rules.

Everyone else takes it, but you don't take it?

Aliens can never survive in a group.

If you don't take it, how can I take it?

If I don't take it, how can I take it?

If I don't take it, how can I improve?

This is the current situation of Zhao Song officialdom.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Ting stiffened his head and said: "The minister thinks that the wind of corruption should be punished with heavy punishment, so as to deter corrupt officials and corrupt officials." ”

Hearing this, Xie Ding said: "Although the heavy code can have a deterrent effect, there will always be corrupt officials who are lucky and take risks. ”

Another official proposed: "Or raise it with a high salary." ”

Han Zhen said with a smile: "Zhao Song's salary to officials is not low, and now it is not corrupt officials who are rampant, it is said that Cai Jing's family wealth is tens of millions." This is just one Cai Jing, Zhao Song officials are thousands, and the embezzled money is probably more than a billion! ”

The official's face was embarrassed, so he had to laugh.

Han Zhen smiled and asked, "Does Xie Shangshu have a countermeasure?" ”

Xie Ding smiled bitterly: "This ...... The county magistrate forgives the sin, and the minister has no proper law. ”

It's not that he's perfunctory, but there's really no way.

People have selfish desires, even if you don't have them, can you guarantee that your family, relatives, and friends don't?

"I often say that the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, all of you here have studied hard since childhood, practiced martial arts, nothing more than the word fame and fortune, or want to be famous and leave history in history, or want to be rich, or want to gain fame and fortune, this is human nature. But ......"

Han Zhen's voice changed, restrained his smile, and said with a straight face: "But this is not a reason to exploit the people. I have a plan for official corruption, and I will discuss it with you and others. ”

said that it was a discussion, but the tone did not have a little bit of a discussion, but it was beyond doubt.

Han Zhen raised a finger and said in a deep voice: "While maintaining a high salary, it is supplemented by supervision and re-enactment. First, the establishment of a supervision department to investigate the corruption and bribery of officials, once discovered, the punishment of officials and confiscation of family property, the worst is to exterminate the three ethnic groups. ”

As soon as these words came out, although the faces of the ministers remained unchanged, they complained bitterly in their hearts.

Zhao Kuangyin and Zhu Chongba have already sampled him, and sticks and sweet dates are indispensable, so Han Zhen is ready to do both.

I saw him continue: "Regarding high salaries and pensions, I plan to adopt the commercial stock system. ”

Commercial stock system?

Everyone was stunned, only Zhao Ting, Liu Mi and Chang Yukun had thoughtful expressions.

Han Zhen said in a good time: "I am going to invest in a number of state-owned workshops, all officials are stock dealers, and dividends will be distributed at the end of the year. ”

Hearing this, many people didn't care.

The workshop can share a few dollars in dividends, and hundreds of officials will share it evenly, and they will get those three melons and two dates, which is estimated to be not enough to hire a few maids.

Seeing this, Han Zhen chuckled and said, "Chang Governor's Mansion, since you became a shareholder, how many dividends have you received now?" ”

The corners of Chang Yukun's eyes twitched, this era pays attention to wealth and does not show white.

But since Han Zhen asked in public, he could only answer stubbornly: "Thanks to the love of the county magistrate, I have received 480,000 yuan in money for six months now!" ”

Hiss!

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of inhalations rang out in the hall.

480,000!

You must know that before Chang Yukun was just a seven-grade sesame county.

Zhao Ting scolded his mother in his heart, he had been worried about his corruption, but as a result, these dogs made a fortune one by one, more than he earned.

Without waiting for everyone's reaction, Han Zhen looked at Liu Mi again: "Liu Shangshu, what about you?" ”

"Huh!"

Liu Mi laughed and replied: "The minister is not as good as the Chang Governor's Mansion, but he also got 220,000 yuan!" ”

For a while, the envious eyes of all the officials in the hall were red.

How much money can the poor have?

worked hard to deduct money from the people, and all year round, he was greedy for thousands of yuan if he died, and he had to risk the risk of being forced by the officials to rebel against the people and being killed by Han Zhen and punished by the three clans.

Look at Chang Yukun and Liu Mi again, they pay tens of thousands of dividends every month, and they take it above board, which makes them not envious.

Han Zhen said: "I don't read much, I discuss the scriptures and the Tao, it's better for you to wait." But I can ask myself some Tao Zhugong's methods, making money is easy for me. Refined salt and sugar are just a small test, and after the sea is opened, there are more ways to make money. ”

The overseas trade of the Zhao and Song dynasties was extremely prosperous, but it was all private transactions, and there was never a large-scale official trade.

Goryeo, Wakoku, Mayi (Luzon), Srivijaya, Siam...... These overseas countries are all good leeks in Han Zhen's eyes.

Don't cut white, don't cut!

Burning any glass balls can be exchanged for a large amount of gold, silver, grain, and spices.

To tell the truth, Han Zhen didn't want to give the officials money in his heart, but if he didn't give them a share, they would reach out and rob the people of their hard-earned money.

You can't kill it just by killing, and if you kill one batch, you will have the next batch.

Zhu Chongba is ruthless enough, but did he kill corrupt officials?

Zhao Kuangyin's countermeasures are not completely undesirable, high salaries may not be cheap, but low salaries must not be cheap.

High salary, cooperating with judicial supervision, supplemented by torture punishment, this is the best way Han Zhen can think of.

This is an attempt to divert the attention of these officials from the poor people.

Han Zhen knew in his heart that no matter what kind of system, it could not stop officials from corrupting, but he could not do nothing.

Although this two-pronged approach cannot completely eradicate official corruption, it should greatly improve the trend of corruption.

Sure enough, hearing him say this, the eyes of the officials suddenly lit up.

Han Zhen asked, "Do you have any objections to this law?" ”

"There is no objection to the minister!"

A group of civil and military officials spoke out in unison.

Han Zhen nodded, and said in a calm tone: "I have always been a villain first and then a gentleman, and I can give you fame and fortune, but if anyone dares to snatch food from the mouths of the people, don't blame me for not being affectionate!" ”

The chill in the words made everyone tremble, and Liu Mi hurriedly said: "The county magistrate is relieved, and the minister is not a person who is not greedy enough. ”

The rest of the people also spoke.

Han Zhen waved his hand: "Let's disperse." ”

The first court meeting ended in a cold sweat of a group of civil and military officials.

"The ministers are leaving."

All the people stood up in unison and bowed.

After leaving Shaoyang Palace, a group of civil and military officials were happy and congratulated each other.

Liu Qi wanted to leave, but was called by Xie Ding to the house for dinner, and they got into the carriage together.

Seeing that his face was not angry, Xie Ding asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Zhao Ting's house can enter the cabinet as a minister, but my uncle only got a book."

Xie Ding glanced at him and said with a slight meaning: "Do you think it's a good thing to enter the cabinet now?" ”

"Isn't it?"

Liu Qi was stunned for a moment, his face puzzled.

Xie Ding shook his head and said with a smile: "You just lead the troops to fight in the future, and don't get involved in the affairs of officialdom." ”

Hearing this, Liu Qi couldn't help pouting.

This is the reason why he doesn't like to deal with civil officials, he likes to play tricks, and he can clearly explain it in two or three sentences, but he has to turn a few corners.

……

However, it was said that after Yang Weizhong and other generals returned to Tokyo City, Yang Weizhong didn't even see Song Huizong's face, so he was stabbed to Sichuan with a rod.

Without him, there would be another rebellion in Sichuan.

The rebels were a father and son surnamed Zhu, claiming to be the descendants of Wang Xiaobo, who rose up in Luzizhou, Tongchuan Prefecture, and regained Wang Xiaobo's slogan of 'equal nobility and cheapness, both rich and poor', and gathered 200,000 people in a short period of time to occupy six counties in two states.

Han Zhen's defeat of the Western Army and the forced peace talks between Zhao and Song made countless careerists see hope and triggered a series of chain reactions.

The remnants of Fang La in the south also began to move.

What made Song Huizong unhappy was not only that, Liu Yanqing defeated Zhong Xiang and Yang Mi, the officers and soldiers were defeated, and Zhong Xiang took the opportunity to occupy the land of the three counties.

This defeat is really not to blame Liu Yanqing.

He was originally a northerner, and he was not familiar with water warfare, and the southern forbidden army had long been eroded, so he had to train for at least three or five months before he could have combat effectiveness.

But Song Huizong was in a hurry again, asking him to kill Zhong Xiang as soon as possible.

Liu Yanqing had no choice but to bite the bullet, the two sides fought with Dongting Lake, and the generals under his command underestimated the enemy, fell into Zhong Xiang's deceitful plan, and chased all the way to the shoal, causing the officers and soldiers to run aground.

The water thieves, who had been in ambush for a long time, took the opportunity to kill, not only defeated the officers and soldiers, but also captured dozens of warships.

In desperation, Song Huizong could only send Xin Xingzong and Liu Guangshi to Jinghu and try to recruit peace.

But Zhong Xiang, who was obsessed with the emperor, how could he accept Zhao'an and directly kill the officials who persuaded him to surrender.
