Villager of Daming

Chapter 839 Benefits lie in money
  Zhu Yuanzhang was in a bad mood, and Zhu Biao and other brothers were also upset. The youngest Wu Wang Zhu Zhu's eyes were red, and he muttered: "I have worked very hard, why can't I do it..."

"Don't cry!" Zhu Yuanzhang touched Zhu Xi's head: "God doesn't believe in tears, right?"

"What your Majesty said is true, but we don't care about God. Your Highness, King Wu, doesn't need to worry." The chief said and also touched Zhu Xi's head.

"What should we do?" Zhu Zhu did not resist and was very knowledgeable.

"Okay! If the court has money, it will be easier. Everything is a matter of interests. The officials in Xuancheng County are incorruptible because they have a lot of money and because they are under His Majesty's nose.

Without being greedy or accepting bribes, they could build a building at home, but if they take risks, their gains will not be proportional to their gains.

The prerequisite for bribing an official is to obtain benefits from the official that far exceed the amount of the bribe, otherwise it is meaningless.

When officials who accept bribes and corruption make mistakes, the rewards must outweigh the risks..."

The head of the village began to talk about the best times in the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, which made local officials rich. Part of the money was direct income, and part of it was income after retirement.

When officials, clerks, and government servants in a county can get more money, those who want to bribe need to bribe all the counties, otherwise others will report it.

The same is true for corruption. Which official wants to be corrupt, how much should he give to other officials? If you get too much, you won't have enough money; if you get too little, why should they help you bear the burden? I have a high income, but I am still waiting to get a large amount of money when I retire!

The key is to report you and you will be rewarded a lot, and you can take over your position. Just like when you are investigating smuggling, if someone reports you, you will not have to worry about it for the rest of your life.

Under such a mechanism, colleagues are eager for someone to make a mistake, or even deliberately trick them, so everyone is on guard and wonders if they have been cheated when encountering a 'good thing'.

“So investment in clean government is always the most cost-effective. Having a clean government system will definitely create more social value.

The other is the establishment of a supervision system. Whether it is a reserve warehouse or a regular warehouse, it cannot be managed by the local government and must have a separate office space for a separate department.

Now that the imperial court is not short of money and food, and there are more palaces, the land taxes and taxes that should be collected are placed in the local areas, and the imperial court sends people alone. This is called vertical jurisdiction, bypassing the local government offices.

Then when there is no shortage of money and food, local treasury can be directly established. If the local treasury is established for the purpose of money alone, it is called local treasury.

Our Ming Dynasty has local taxes, food from land tax, and things to pay for non-labor service.

This includes the property obtained from punitive measures such as planting cotton instead of cotton, planting silk instead of mulberry trees, and planting flax instead.

It is under the jurisdiction of the local yamen, and what is handed over is given to the local treasury. If the yamen needs to use it, it must apply to the court. If the court allows it, the local treasury will disburse it.

Since the local treasury is only responsible for managing warehouses and accounts, they do not need to take care of other things, so they are mobilized once a year without affecting local development.

At the same time, I go to check the accounts every quarter, and every time I go there are different people. According to the current accounting method, they can't escape. "

The district chief came up with another system, a high-paying system for maintaining integrity and a system for local treasury and local governments to be in charge.

Coupled with the incentive method of reporting each other, it may be difficult to completely eliminate corruption, but it is guaranteed that most officials will be unable to do anything, and those who can be found will be found.

Officials get a lot of benefits, so naturally they will be punished for making mistakes, such as... extermination of the family!
  Be greedy! Get it! In addition to enjoying it for oneself, it will also be enjoyed by the family. Once caught, the whole family will be in good order.

Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed Lao Wu's head again: "Look, God is afraid of our village, with vertical jurisdiction, local treasury, frequent transfers, and audits."

Zhu Wei smiled: "There shouldn't be empty-printed books?" "Why do we still have them? It's not delivered by the local government. They only need to put the things in the local treasury, and other things have nothing to do with them." drink wine!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was at ease, and the seal was empty, right? Procedural irregularities, how to deal with them? The Indian officials are no longer responsible for long-distance transportation.

At that time, the local treasury will collect and keep accounts, and then reconcile the accounts with the court. When the court is not short of money and food, the things will be placed in the local treasury.

If you're short of money, isn't it a treasure? How much loss does it take to transport a treasure? A few boxes are enough.

Coupled with triple tickets and quadruple tickets, you have to take a very big risk to get some money from them. The money is not enough for one month's salary, let alone the reward after retirement. One reward can be as much as all the years of work. The total amount of money earned.

Three guan of salary a month, and if you become an official thirty years later, even if you have not been promoted, you will be given more than [-] guan at a time.

If you do well, you will definitely get a salary increase and promotion. According to the current development of the Ming Dynasty, you may be able to have tens of thousands of gold in one go to support your integrity.

Others must pay you this risk loss, including the risk of your whole family being killed if you are caught. It is definitely not enough for [-] yuan.

Give me a million dollars? It's okay to be in a high position, but what about the others? Don't they report it? Both those who give bribes and those who take bribes are arrested. The people who report the crime are enough once, and they can’t spend all the money.

The last ten million yuan given to a high-ranking official is actually not much. Otherwise, if he continues to be greedy and accept bribes without restraint, it will definitely not be ten million yuan, not even a fraction.

The more the Ming Dynasty's economy develops, the more officials will earn. Thirty years later, if a sixth-grade official earns money, a nine-digit deposit is not a dream. Nine-digit savings are not necessarily [-] million yuan, but can also be [-] million yuan. arts.

There are also from the lower level of the fifth level, from the upper level of the fifth level, from the lower level of the upper level of the fifth level, from the upper level of the upper level of the fifth level...

When Hu Weiyong was so poor at the beginning, he was able to bribe Li Shanchang with two hundred taels of gold...

This kind of incentive for clean government is to prevent an official from reaching out for the first time. He may only get a hundred guan at a time. Considering that everything will be lost after being caught, and [-] guan disappears, he has to think carefully.

If officials are not corrupt, others will not have the opportunity to pay bribes. Slowly, this awareness is cultivated.

"Yichang, how did you pay bribes back then? There were so many officials speaking for your village."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought it was ironic that the anti-corruption issue was proposed by Xiaqiu Village.

Chief: "..."

"No, I didn't. It's not me. Our village doesn't give bribes now."

The head of the village firmly denied that he was afraid at that time, he wanted to live a good life, and he was also worried about others harming the village.

If the Ming Dynasty had developed as it does now, I would have been able to sell rock candy and soap with confidence.

If we really talk about bribery, who has taken the most bribes? Are they officials from Xuancheng County and Ningguo Mansion? snort!

"Yes, we remembered it wrong. You are not allowed to poison the fried stuffed rice. Drink wins!" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded in agreement.

Let’s hold a cup together, drink the beer in the cup, and have fun!
