Chapter 3249 Spring Rain(2/2)
The family and country are humiliated, the frontiers are fallen, and the emperor is shamed, but all officials are still happy.
It turned out that the great man had a high salary and a generous salary, and the bureaucrats he raised were just to raise a group of ungrateful wolves?
So, are officials for the sake of the people of the world?
Isn't this even more a joke?
Pang Tong faced Fei Zhen's puzzled look and nodded and said, "The original reason was indeed for the sake of the people in the world... but, haha... the young master also understood, so he retreated and sought the second best. He used his salary to control the officials in the world and did not allow him to favor personal gain."
『Purchase private affairs with salary?』 Fei Zhen's eyes widened. This was the first time he heard Pang Tong say this.『There are no...there are Wen Si and Zhi Yin Jian?The Dali Temple...』
Pang Tong laughed and waved his hand and said, "Have you ever heard of... the cruel official Zhang Du?"
"Zhang Tang and Du Zhou?" Fei Zhen asked.
Pang Tong nodded, "There is no more cruel officials in the Han Dynasty, but how about it? Let me ask you, is it not that the investigation is not strict? Is it not that the punishment is not serious? Is it not that many people are killed? But corruption cannot be eliminated!"
"This..." Fei Zhen couldn't answer.
When Du Zhou was the Tingwei, he launched a vigorous anti-corruption campaign. The arrested county magistrates and officials above the nine ministers had a salary of more than 2,000 stones. If we compare them in later generations, it can be understood that there are no less than 100 people at the provincial and ministerial level, and no less than 1,000 cases submitted for trial by the local government every year.
There are hundreds of people involved in a major case, and dozens of people involved in a small case.
In order to verify the case, the case handlers went back and forth for hundreds or even thousands of miles.
When someone disobeys the trial, the prison officers will adopt the method of torture and force confession to make a decision. In the end, many officials immediately fled when they heard that they had been involved in the lawsuit, so as not to fall into Du Zhou's hands.
Some cases have been delayed for more than ten years and have not yet closed, and more than 100,000 people are imprisoned in prison...
It was Du Zhou who only had one horse's property before becoming an official, but after becoming an official, he became a rich man and also had a good end.
In the anti-corruption project under Du Zhou, the confiscated property was calculated in billions of dollars, and the servants were calculated in thousands of millions of dollars. The confiscated land was hundreds of hectares in large counties and hundreds of hectares in small counties. In fact, the money was collected and could have been used for economic development. However, after Emperor Wu of Han got it, it became the cost of war and the consumption of the high-end museums in Shanglinyuan.
Fei Zhen listened and pondered.
Pang Tong was not in a hurry, and picked up the bamboo slips from the side and started to look at them.
The rain outside the window gradually became heavier.
The spring rain drizzles and falls in every inch of the courtyard.
In the drizzle, the carved beams and painted buildings in the corridor appear more simple and deep, as if they are gently covered by the quicksand of time. On the path paved with bluestone, the rain slowly gathers into small water flows, flowing slowly along the mottled texture, and then soaks into the land.
The flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard are more and more vibrant under the nourishment of spring rain.
The water droplets on the leaves are crystal clear and circling from time to time, and then quietly jump down from the leaves and thrown into the embrace of the earth.
The mountains in the distance are looming in the rain, like a faint ink painting...
Fei Zhen looked up at the spring rain, as if she was feeling a little, and muttered, "The rain fell... the water was gurgling..."
Pang Tong glanced at Fei Zhen and smiled slightly.
As a second generation project who has been carefully trained, Fei Zhen has received a lot of attention and has to bear more responsibilities.
It doesn’t matter if someone else’s half-boy is flying eagles and horses, but Fei Zhen can’t do it. He must understand these things.
When Pang Tong Rafeizhen arrived at Zuo Fengyi, it was not entirely to assist Fei Qian, but also to cultivate Feizhen.
On the one hand, we can quickly allocate troops according to Cao Cao's actions to correspond, and on the other hand, we can create an opportunity to allow Fei Zhen to grow.
I saw some blood, and it would be better if Fei Zhen took it on his own...
Pang Tong thought in his heart that the thief Cao could not wait any longer and could only try his best, so his methods should naturally be used up!
Wei Duan jumped out this time, which surprised Pang Tong a little.
Pang Tong thought that Xun You would need to do some more actions to force Wei Duan to come out of the turtle shell...
Now it's good. It's legitimate to allow Fei Zhen to gain some merits, and it will also help Fei Qian go further in the future and have a relatively stable and intelligent successor...
Pang Tong thought in his mind and pinched his chin.
I thought that I had finished this time, and I would have to make up for it anyway...
On the other side, after a while, Fei Zhen suddenly clapped her hands, "I understand! The flowing water does not rot the door hinge and does not rot! Money is like flowing water, and official positions are like the door hinge! Taking the wealth of the world, it should flow back to the world! Assuming the job of the house hinge, it should operate like a door door! If there is a trap that flows from the water and it will be fat, it should be eliminated! If there is a person who does not operate properly, it should be replaced!"
"The master's command is the method of money flowing! It's like this spring rain moistening all things! It's unbiased, without any increase or decrease! Towers, pavilions, flowers, plants and trees are regarded as the same!"
"The salary of officials should be sufficient to support their families, and they should respect their duties and distinguish between mediocre talents and encourage them to advance, just like the achievements of military merits! If the salary is too heavy, the official will be lazy, and the people will be resentful. If the salary is very light, the officials will lack food and clothing, and they will be unwilling to manage affairs, and they will easily become greedy... Sure enough! The salary is the primary priority of finance! The way to balance is like rain, which will cause flooding and drought. Only when they are not biased can they produce everything!"
Pang Tong nodded and praised, and then smiled and said, "If there is an official, his salary is only a hundred stones, but his family's wealth is tens of millions... What do you think?"
"Do you should be punished!" Fei Zhen said firmly.
Chapter completed!
