Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 440
Chapter One Forty Two

Looking at the confession below, Chen Ying was instantly shocked.As the guardian of the Taolin Gold Mine, Wang Xuanqiong embezzled 2 taels of gold in two years, which is equivalent to 20 guan. In fact, even Chen Ying was shocked by this amount.

However, I saw that a mere official named Han Boying, who had been appointed as the Seventh Rank Cang Cheng, actually corrupted 320 taels of gold in two years.

Seeing this number, Chen Ying felt ten thousand horses roaring past in his heart.

What is the concept of nine thousand 320 taels of gold?This is equivalent to 320 yuan. As a seventh-rank official, Han Boying's salary includes 25 yuan and 75 yuan per year, 350 stone salary, 10 acres of land, and [-] yuan of servants. Money (equivalent to the current bus subsidy), the sum of all the legal income is equivalent to about [-] yuan, which is equivalent to [-] yuan.

But this petty official has embezzled a full 1000 guan, which is equivalent to 200 years of his salary if he is not promoted.However, this is not a special case. There is also a ninth-rank official, Zhang Xun. The salary of a ninth-rank official is even lower, but only seventy guan. This is his salary for [-] years.

As the saying goes, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. Wang Xuanqiong took the lead in corruption, and the officials at all levels below him, except for Zhao Jiqing, were all corrupt, ranging from thousands to hundreds of taels of gold.

However, because some people's gold had already been transported to Luoyang or wasted, Chen Ying was also very helpless.

However, it was Chen Ying's surprise that 7000 taels of gold and more than [-] taels of silver were deducted from these people.

After reading Zhou Chengdong's entire report, Chen Ying couldn't help sighing: "This Zhou Chengdong is simply a genius. I don't think there is such a character among us Tiger Yi Cong."

However, Yu Qing seemed to disagree with Chen Ying's statement, and sighed: "He is not a genius, it's just that he has a disease in his heart."

Chen Ying nodded and said: "That's right, no matter how you say it, Zhou Chengdong has made a great contribution this time. He confiscated more than [-] taels of gold, and it's not too much to award him military merit for three ranks. Uncle Yu, how do you think he will be rewarded?" "

Yu Qing said: "It's all up to the family!"

Chen Ying thought about it, but in fact, he already had a calculation.Through Wang Xuanqiong's incident, the corruption from the bottom to the bottom actually reminded Chen Ying.His current family business is getting bigger and bigger, and there is no guarantee that no one with ulterior motives will get in.

Interests are actually a gully that is difficult to fill. Although Chen Ying adopted the method of dividing the shares, this is only a temporary solution, not the root cause.Although the income from dry stocks is quite a lot, it is very different from the income from corruption.

Even if the shares are dividends, because too many interests are involved.It is also impossible for Chen Ying to distribute all the shares as dividends. He needs to use the profits of the industry to feed the cub of Datang University of Technology. There are more than 6000 students and at least [-] to [-] teachers need to be recruited. Because of the engineering university, Chen Ying does not need All famous teachers and scholars are hired, but it is also essential for doctors with rich experience in craftsmanship such as Wei Meng, Ge Tong, Yan Shihu, Guo Zhun, and Lin Chuanfu to sit in the town.

There are five to six hundred teachers, each of whom is paid a salary of 6000 guan is not too much. In this way, only the salary of the professor will be [-] to [-] guan in a year, and the food and clothing expenses of more than [-] children, plus the cost of education in the school Expenses, one hundred thousand can't beat it.Of course, in the teaching process of engineering universities, a large number of experiments are indispensable on the basis of theory, but experiments, especially large-scale academic experimental courses, are also very expensive.

Not counting the Chenjiabao, which is just a prototype, but with all the school buildings, classrooms, dormitory buildings, sports training venues and a large number of teaching materials, Datang University of Technology needs at least 50 yuan from the preparation to the time it can be put into use. Expenses not less than 20 guan.

Coupled with the standard equipment for the Tang Army and the replacement, the funds invested in it will be a bottomless pit.Therefore, it is impossible for Chen Ying to give too many bonuses to the stewards and craftsmen, at most about three points. Compared with the hundreds of times the benefits, taking out this amount of money will definitely make countless people jealous or jealous.

Maybe they dare not, but there are too many people who are driven by interests and take risks.At this time, it is essential to establish a necessary internal supervisory agency.

Any restriction can only be effectively operated under supervision.Otherwise, the best system will deteriorate.The disintegration of the Great Qin Empire was precisely because of the collapse of the farming and warfare system that maintained the Great Qin Empire, and the collapse of the Great Han Empire was because local officials had too much power and lost control, so the princes attacked each other and fought endlessly.The reason why the Great Tang Empire turned from prosperity to decline was, in the final analysis, that the jobs of the government soldiers were taken over by the aristocrats, leaving the government soldiers without even the ration fields to maintain the most basic life, so this majestic and invincible iron blood A strong army is like a shooting star across the sky, gorgeous and beautiful...

Corruption is the fundamental reason for the collapse of a country, and the cause of this is precisely the authenticity of the supervision system. Of course, the best way is to allow officials to be supervised by ordinary people. The eyes of the masses are discerning. Corruption can be eradicated, and only then can long-term governance and long-term stability be achieved.

It's just that in this era, if Chen Ying wants to implement such a reform of the political system, he is simply incapable of doing so, unless he can control the government like Huo Guang. However, Huo Guang's fate seems to be not good. Huo Guang's whole family, even Huo Qubing's grandsons Huo Shan and Huo Yun were also removed.

Chen Ying decided to implement such a supervisory system in the Jingzhao Chen family system in which he could hold absolute power.

Zhou Chengdong was called to the festival hall by Chen Ying, and Chen Ying didn't even stay behind Ashina Simo, only Zhou Chengdong and Chen Ying talked in secret.

All night, the candles in Chen Ying's festival hall remained on all night.There were quarrels from time to time, but Ashina Simo resolutely carried out Chen Ying's order, and no one was allowed to approach within fifty steps of the festival hall, and anyone who violated it would be shot to death.

No one knows what Chen Ying discussed with Zhou Chengdong.Later, according to the seventeenth biography of "Book of Tang", it is recorded that in the winter and spring of the third year of Wude, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, the Shangshu Youpushe of Taixingtai in Eastern Shaanxi, the guest of the prince, the champion general, and the Duke of Pengcheng County should say: "The way of the king is the same as the world, Give good fortune, save time and things, and be the parents of the people.Therefore, the valley of the year is not climbed, and it is prayed for the people.The benefit of the universe, the emperor obeys it; the secret benefits of mountains and rivers, the emperor understands it.Gou benefits the people, harms the people without stinginess, like gathering together, only for relief... The ancient kings, the world has its people, or water and fire to help them, or nests to teach them to live, or teach farmers to get rid of them Hungry, or training clothes to get rid of it.Therefore, Zhou's "Poetry" said that "teaching is instructing, drinking is eating", and they are all caressing, guiding and raising, and those who seek profit for it.

The imperial edict said: "The interests of the people are in Sri Lanka, as deep as it is stated. Can you hear about Fu Bayi?"

However, "Book of Tang" did not leave a single word about Chen Ying's secret discussion. The content of the two people's discussions has become a secret that is difficult for future generations to see.

However, since then, Zhou Chengdong, who was originally one of the three major yicongs, has directly withdrawn from the tiger yicong. Because there are more than [-] people who also quit the tiger yicong, Zhou Chengdong's withdrawal did not attract everyone's attention.

Chen Ying also carried out reforms on Tiger Yi Cong, abolishing Sanyitong, and the remaining [-] people were reorganized into six regiments.Chen Tong, who was originally from an unknown family, became the general manager of the tiger.And Zhou Qing and Guo Luo, who were also unknown, became the left and right deputy managers of Tiger Yi Cong.

And Chen Tong never showed his true face. When he met everyone, he wore a golden tiger pattern mask on his face. Chen Tong's identity became a mystery that was never solved by all the fierce tigers.

It wasn't until several years later, when Shan Xiongxin's son brought his grandson to worship Chen Tong, that everyone suddenly realized.The so-called Chen Tong was actually the pseudonym of Shan Tong and Shan Xiongxin.

Chen Ying swept Wang Xuanqiong's treasury wildly, and now he is very rich, so he is very willful.Of course, Chen Ying knows how to do it and won't mess around.Except for the Modao Army, since the equipment of the soldiers of the Modao Army is too heavy, it is a waste of resources to let the Modao Army serve as ordinary crossbowmen. Therefore, all the soldiers except the Modao Army are all issued One bow, 82 combat regiments in the whole army, [-] bows, and crossbows are specially distributed to all the shooting regiments in the whole army.

Seventeen shooting regiments, 100 people each with a bow, [-] arrows prepared, supplies are not counted.Five thousand one hundred crossbow machines and sixty crossbow arrows.There is also a horizontal knife in one hand.As for the spear and spear (long soldier), a bow, thirty arrows, and a horizontal knife are also distributed.In this way, the entire army has at least two types of weapons, and the archers are bullied by the enemy, it doesn't matter, they pull out the horizontal knife and chop him.

It doesn’t matter if the spear spear (long soldier) can’t be deployed in a narrow space. We have a horizontal knife, and the white knife will go in and the red knife will come out.

As for the equipment is too bulky and inconvenient to move.Come on, there are plenty of horses in the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, war horses could be sold for [-] or even hundreds of guan, but in the Tang Dynasty, cattle sold for [-] renminbi, and horses could only be sold for [-] to [-] renminbi. Gu, for Chen Ying who only has money left, how big a deal is it?

Chen Ying currently has nearly 80 guan of gold, silver and precious metals. If the money is not spent, it will be of no use at all. Gold and silver cannot be used or eaten, they are just precious metals.

Chen Ying wrote his thoughts to Li Jiancheng. This letter was written by Chen Ying in the vernacular, with just a few lines on it: "His Royal Highness, the minister has become rich, and the total amount of gold and silver seized is about 70 guan. What is the minister's idea?" The left and right guards and the left and right guards will be used to strengthen the individual equipment of the entire army. It is estimated that 1 horses, 20 horizontal knives, and [-] sets of Mingguang armor will be needed. Five thousand and one hundred three-stone crossbows will be prepared. [-] arrows.

Two days later, Li Jiancheng received a secret letter from Chen Ying. The content of this secret letter immediately hit Li Jiancheng's weakness.

But when Wei Zheng saw this letter, he roared furiously: "General Chen is such a prodigal son, I don't feel bad for selling my grandfather!"

According to Chen Ying's proposal, more than [-] men and horses need to be invested in the [-] troops of the left and right guards of the East Palace and the left and right Siyu of the East Palace. The key is that Chen Ying has no shortage of equipment. So much equipment, what is this for?
There is no way for the East Palace to expand its establishment, let alone the matter of expanding the army.
