Thick black school

Chapter 53
[-]. Hands - "Thousands of hands vying to climb willow belts, and tens of thousands of flower branches are arranging leisurely", this is a famous line in Li Shanfu's poems composed with a symbolic tone.And there is also Avalokitesvara in Buddhism to show the boundless power of mana.My body has experienced the good touch and fishing of corrupt officials, and it can be seen that their hands are very useful!Physiologically speaking, self must be particularly developed.As far as genetics is concerned, the effect of its development will undoubtedly be passed on to future generations.Therefore, if the corrupt officials in the nuclear age do not increase their hands more, they will certainly lengthen them. "Shu Zhi Biography of the First Master" said that Liu Bei was seven feet five inches long, with his hands down to his knees, so he was able to stand on top of the world.And Wang Yinjin's book records: "Pei Xiu said: 'Zhongfu stretches his hands over his knees, which is not the appearance of a human minister'." It can be seen that those who can sweep the world must have long hands.The banknotes must be stored in the "Swiss Bank" when corrupt officials are full of money. Of course, this method of transferring stolen goods abroad is not a long-term solution.

[-]. Feet - Last but not least, the feet are opposite to the hands. Instead of growing, they must be shortened.In order to facilitate behind-the-scenes planning, sit on the ground and share the spoils.As for corrupt officials contacting corrupt officials, building relationships, and protecting each other, of course there is no need to run through doors and walls with your own eyes, and send people to give gifts through the back door, it will work just as well.It can also avoid showing the horse's feet, so as to recruit failure.

According to the above shape, the feet are short, the hands are long, the head is pointed, the heart is black, the face is thick and changeable, the brain and the left and right hands are full of eyes, one nostril, the mouth is full of blood, and the ears are pierced with a copper intestine and iron stomach.Try asking the great cartoonist Niu Ge to describe it according to his shape. Wouldn't such a corrupt official become a ghost in the world? (swag boy)
"Corrupt official capital" in Chinese history

"It may be said that 'corrupt official capital' originated in the Han Dynasty. According to Dong Zhongshu's 'countermeasures', there is: 'The family of food and salary is just receiving the salary; if you don't compete with each other, then the profits can be distributed evenly, and the people can have a family." According to "Gongyu·Shangshu": "If you want to order your close ministers to come from among the servants of Cao Cao, you will have nothing to sell privately, and those who commit crimes will be exempted from officials and nobility, and will not be officials." I think it is the beginning of "corrupt official capital". I don't know what Zhongshu said' Those who take advantage of wealth and resources to compete with the people for profit only refer to "all their slaves and maidservants, many of their cattle and sheep, their fields and houses, their industries, and their livestock committees", which is not "greedy". Although the tributes have the words "selling", it is tantamount to doing business. However, since it is said to be private, it is not clear-sighted and bold. It is also an individual behavior, and it is not organized and united. It can also be seen from a large number of manipulation and fraud.

"It may also be said that the 'Xing Sheng Hui Yi' in the Southern and Northern Dynasties is the origin of the 'corrupt official capital'. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the official salary was very low, or it was a dance. Therefore, for the sake of poverty alleviation, the state and county officials rely on the "prosperous life" "Hui Yi" is used to replace Lu Yang. "Prosperity" means life; Timely benefits. Within ten days, gain ten trainings, and share the benefits between the upper and lower levels to moisten the house. The so-called 'communication' and 'dividing profit' are still entrusting merchants to make profits, and officials to divide the fertilizer. At most, it is like the Qing Dynasty Guan Dao, privately depositing money from the customs to make money for the merchants to enrich themselves. Non-officials mainly issue longitudinal instructions, and merchants only follow their instructions for their driving, so they can be discussed in the same way."

"It can be said that the officials of the Qing Dynasty were mostly engaged in business. For example, Mingzhu, a scholar in the Kangxi period, sent his family's Korean servant Anqi to Yangzhou to serve as a prison. What is it other than "corrupt official capital"? In addition, during the Jiaqing period, Heshen's pawn shop was confiscated, and in addition to being collected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it was distributed to the prince, as if the country clearly allowed "corrupt official capital". No. Before that , during the reign of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Hanru of Changshu sued Qian Qianyi and Qu Shisi for a case of forty, including Qian Qianyi sending his slaves abroad to sell one. The so-called "corrupt officials' capital" is also a backstory! During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, not only officials carried private goods, but also the examination of scholars, and the purchase of goods was the right thing to do. In particular, some people misunderstood Xu Luqi's "Confucians regard life as the first I don't know that "governing life" refers to "strengthening" and not "corruption and peddling". It does not mean that you are in the ranks of philistines. Tu Zongying, a famous official in Guangxu's Neo Confucianism, opened a money shop, which is an example Another example is that Xixian, the current general of Fuzhou, bought a ship himself, sailed the Yangtze River, and took goods and customers. It is not a strange person, let alone. Since the Qing Dynasty, the theory of starting an industry has been very popular for a while. Stocks, that is, dry stocks, and claiming to promote industry, one person concurrently serves as the director or chairman of several companies, there is no difference between an official and a businessman. As for the capital of a firm from an official, its origin is even further. Beijing Bannerman, When the eunuch came back, the eunuch had a lot of pockets, and he dared not let others know about it. There is no good way except to bury it. So the cunning people took advantage of the business and were willing to take the capital for the operation. This is the name of "Lingdong" It happened. After the failure of the Beiyang School, most of the ignorant money of abolished governors was lost in ten mines and nine empties. Among them, Feng Guozhang lost the most. At that time, all the big business names in Tianjin were crowned with Chinese characters. Its blood capital. It is about to die, and it will go bankrupt. All this is said to be official and business, and business may not be rich, and it is definitely not enough for today's "corrupt official capital".

"However, where did the 'corrupt official capital' originate? Say: It started with Hu Xueyan, that is, Hu Guangyong opened the Fukang Bank, which spread all over the north and south, absorbing the deposits of the army, prosperous generals, princes and nobles, and paying more than one-third of the month Interest. Also by virtue of its influence, the posture is treacherous and profitable, monopolizing the import and export trade, and handling foreign loans. Zuo Zongtang especially relies on it, appoints the West Expedition Grain Platform, protects the official until the first rank, the rank of the chief minister, and Jiangxi alternate road Rewarded with a yellow mandarin jacket and rewarded with an imperial pen. In the tenth year of Guangxu, because he single-handedly exported silk tea and raised prices to foreign merchants, he stockpiled the goods for more than a year and refused to release them. It didn’t work, so Fukang went bankrupt. When it was not defeated, it cleverly took advantage of the official position, colluded with foreign businessmen, seized the profits of all businessmen, made personal wealth, and went so far as to arrange the entrance and exit. It was a "corrupt official capital". The one who started was Sheng Xuanhuai, from the Taoist official to the Minister of the Minister, who used the China Merchants Telegraph Bureau as his nest, and his style was a bit like Guangyong. He only managed deposits on behalf of others, and made imports and trades. , and the benefits obtained are not the same. Compared with the "corrupt official capital" of today's "corrupt official capital", the actions of Hu Sheng and the two of them may not be worth the attention of the "corrupt official capital" of today's "corrupt official capital". Going back to the beginning, I have to push Hu Sheng as the founders of the mountain. What Hu Sheng did was nothing more than making a fortune and taking the profits of small capitalists. It is said that he intends to harm the country and the people and disrupt the economy of a country. Today's "corrupt officials" If the capitalists are unscrupulous, Hu Sheng not only dares not to do it, but also cannot bear it. However, Hu Sheng is like a loyal elder in the midst of rape and greed."

"Accurately know that 'corrupt official capital' only existed after Haitong. The first 'corrupt official capital' was originally produced in foreign countries, and it spread eastward with the west, and the corrupt and corrupt people were handy when they received their salary. Furthermore, Manipulating "corrupt officials' capital" is nothing but collusion with foreigners. As of today, "corrupt officials' capital" is a serious problem, eroding the national treasury at the top, and sucking the blood of the people at the bottom. They use the bank for their own selfishness, and use the name of control to facilitate their selfish interests In addition, the marriage is so trivial, and there are wives and young ladies mixed in, so that it cannot be investigated. If the law is enforced, is there no way to sanction it? For example, the bank is only engaged in production and lending, and all illegal transactions are prohibited. Bank money is not allowed. Random misappropriation by private aliases. Manipulating finance, buying money, manipulating prices, and huge bad debts will stop immediately. The world blames hot money and profiteers for causing troubles and does not know that if there is no "corrupt official capital" as its leader, there will be a limit to the troubles. The country has scruples and refuses to eradicate it, and the people have no power to eliminate it. In the future, "corrupt officials' capital" will intensify. I don't know how bad it will be. Its harm is by no means comparable to the invasion of foreign aggression or the sacrifice of internal strife. The catastrophe of subjugation of the country and the extinction of the species may not be far away, not only the total collapse of the economy.” (Mr. Deng)
Re-record Mr. Guo Ya's article "Punishing Corrupt Officials" to show the theme of this article:
"Since the government announced that massacres will be opened on Tuesday and Friday, the social news section of the newspaper has released a lot of corruption news."

"The number of such corruption cases is huge. There are hundreds of millions, at least tens of millions. There are many people, and there are hundreds of people, and at least dozens of people. The so-called group corruption, the combination of government and business, and public and private involvement are all It is encroaching on the people's pockets (the national treasury) and encroaching on them."

"Some people said: 'We have seen this from the newspapers. There are still undiscovered, cracked, or ongoing ones, or those that have become old traces, or those who are greedy and small, and those who are small and greedy. I really don't know how many there are?"

"This kind of statement is extremely logical. It is only necessary to compare the current property figures of those officials in office with the survey of property figures before they were officials, and it will be fully understood. Looking at it like this, it is really necessary to achieve 'No official is not corrupt. , all officials are dirty' more than."

"Some people say that Japan is also corrupt. Anyone who asks for a government official can go to a geisha restaurant to drink and prostitute, and then things will be done. They will no longer give red envelopes. South Korea is also corrupt. Anyone who asks a government official can go to a geisha restaurant to drink." After the big prostitution, everything will be done, if you send it according to the stipulated "red envelope" price, it will be done, and you will no longer go to the restaurant; but corruption in Taiwan is special, both "restaurants" and "red envelopes" are set in Japan and South Korea A master of corruption."

"According to the plausible words of most officials, the factors that cause corruption are too little salary, and frugality is not enough to maintain integrity. That's why they took the risk and turned into today's corruption phenomenon of 'the world is as black as a crow'. I think this is only one of the factors."

"That is to say, the luxurious enjoyment of the officials, the secluded extravagance, is it not the most important 'factor' of corruption?!
"So we think that the court's 'too light' punishment for corruption criminals is the biggest factor that inspires corruption. For example, in recent corruption cases, those who embezzled millions of public funds were only sentenced to two or three years in prison, or even more but less This is the number. And the means are clever, the links are opened, and the investigation is delayed. As for those who "do not prosecute" when the matter is cold, there are many people who have heard of it. Even if the personal evidence is conclusive and cannot be denied, sitting in prison is still the same. It's like going to a sanatorium to rest. After a long time, they were released on bail and regained their freedom under the pretext of "sanitary" or "medical treatment". It's no wonder that the "law protects corruption" is a fluke for the corrupt."

"The author thinks that the government is not determined to eradicate corruption. If it is determined, we should use our old method, 'govern troubled times, use heavy codes' to stipulate the amount of money involved in corruption. Family members were imprisoned, and most of them ransacked their homes, and even their family members were shot."

"As long as the "capital punishment" is carried out to ten cases, the corruption will stop without a fight. This kind of "punishment" of "crying all the way is worse than crying for a family" is really the best prescription for the right medicine today. Otherwise, the consequences will be serious. Unbelievable."

"In addition, someone came up with a method. All agencies with expenditures must post the figures of daily revenue and expenditure on the door of the agency for inspection and audit. The living conditions of officials should also be investigated and reported secretly at any time. In such a way of making public income and expenditure reimbursements, falsehoods can be found out, and it is also a passive measure to curb corruption. If it is possible to make public and secret reports before the event, and after the death penalty is imposed, and corruption cases still occur, then the officials are not human beings but ghosts. Or a bandit. What can I say!"

"Natural incorruptibility needs to be followed from top to bottom. If the bigger dignitaries don't live extravagantly and their behavior isn't romantic, it's not enough to set an example and excite the staff. Just look at the great ostentation of the grand mansion today and the luxurious enjoyment of the big man, how about it?" Not enlightening 'a man should be like this' is the crooked mind of the corrupt?!"

Finally, the editor imitated Liu Yuxi's "humble room inscription" as "corrupt officials' inscription", thinking that this article is over.

If the official is not big, if you are willing to be greedy, you will be successful; if you are not too greedy, you will do if you are worth money.Such corrupt officials are despised by the people.The green bills are green, and the gold is new.There are no honest officials in the communication, and all the songs are sticks.Proficient in "Thick Black Studies" and "Corruption Classics".Just care about a family's wealth, but cherish the lives of the people; a stinky official who embraces glory, and a ghost with magic.The great sage worships the leader, the sages of the time look up to the emperor, the emperor's twelve tactics, and the characters are the most magical!Red envelopes fill the mouse's hole, black money gathers wealthy families!The corruption of the social atmosphere, this life really harbors evil intentions!The talker shouted: "Corrupt officials will not die, and chaos will continue!"

Lee's two geeks
Of the four monsters of the Li family in ancient and modern times, the most ancient should be Li Er, the old man who rode a green ox across Hangu Pass; in modern times, he should be regarded as the arrogant and cynical Li Zhuowu; .It has been more than twenty years since Li Zongwu withered.In the past few years, Li Ao, a young man of the Li family, has risen again. This gentleman is quite a "tradition" of the Li family, and he is a mixture of the same type of the above three people.With "freedom" of thought, pretending to be crazy and cursing the world, and shining brightly, he is really the "finishing touch" figure of this generation of young people.In the cultural desert of the "Old People's Country", I feel proud of the young intellectuals.Therefore, in addition to the selection of Mr. Han Jue's article "Li Zongwu, the author of this book", the editor specially selected Mr. Wang Duxue's article "Cultural Taibao Talks about Li Ao" to follow. This also respects Mr. Li Zongwu's way!

Li Zongwu, the author of this book
For a long time, I wanted to know more about the life story of Li Zongwu, the "Master of Thick Black", and I also talked about it with my friends, hoping to search for the wonderful book "Thick Black Studies".

Recently, Mr. Liu Xinhuang found a copy of the original "Biography of the Master of Thick Black" written by Zhang Mosheng at a second-hand book stand.Take it to me, I once read it overnight with a feeling of being as precious as a treasure.I finally have a general understanding of the life experience and thoughts of this "leader".

Judging from his behavior and speech, I think he is a person with "independent thinking".He broke free from the barriers of stereotyped essays and test posts, broke out of the shackles of orthodox tradition, shook off the sourness of being a scholar, and devoted himself to becoming a "free man" soaring into the sky!He has been a "fat" official, but he asked for a salary cut as soon as he took office, and he didn't even have travel expenses to go home when he was dismissed.The author of the biographer Zhang Mosheng said that he was a person who "lived in the corridor and temple, but his heart was above the rivers and lakes". Dongfang Shuo was such a person.His mentality of laughing and cursing is probably somewhat similar to that of Dongfang Shuo, right?
He is cynical, has the ideal of a brighter future, and also has the ambition of "speaking to those who know, but not to speaking for ordinary people".Therefore, in a society that is generally restricted by orthodoxy and confused by material desires, he feels lonely.From loneliness to aloofness, he feigned madness and cursed the world, calling himself the "religious leader", and pretending to be the stone lion in front of the Grand View Garden.

But once he met his confidant, his attitude changed.He can entrust privacy and change arrogance into humility.For example, he said in his letter to Zhang Mosheng: "Those who persuade me not to teach thick and black studies but not to follow the teachings are selfishly greedy and want to have another Mosheng ear besides Zhang Mosheng." This kind of longing How sincere is the confidant's attitude!At the same time, his sense of loneliness is also vivid between the lines.

He said that the root of his independent thinking was influenced by his father, or even believed to be due to prenatal education.In fact, he was the first wild horse to run wild in a turbulent and great change, galloping and galloping, becoming a pioneer of an era.

He participated in the revolutionary movement that overthrew the Manchu Qing Dynasty and was a member of the Tongmenghui.After jumping wildly for a while, I stopped and looked back, and found that there were monsters and monsters all around.Especially in Sichuan, where the warlords ruled, it made him feel even more chilling.So he discovered the truth of "thick black", and even with the spirit of "carrying the cross" and "going to hell" (Zhang Mosheng's words), he called himself "the leader of thick black", revealed the trump card of the officialdom, and was willing to be condemned by others .

We can see his perception of the early days of the Republic of China from the discussion caused by one of his papers.He said: "People in the past said that there are ancient prose in the world, and they are nothing more than 'changing characters' and 'reducing characters'. For example, if someone asks you to make a birthday preface or epitaph, you just write a text with pen and ink, and then put the words in the text Replace the vulgar characters with elegant ones, and shorten the idle and long sentences as much as possible, and it becomes a simple and elegant ancient prose.

"We can also say that there is no real revolution in the world. The so-called 'revolution' means 'revolution of nouns' and 'not reform of substance'. It is nothing more than 'changing characters' and 'embedding characters'. People throw away tens of thousands of heads, and the actual effect is to change the emperor into a president, and the governor into a governor. In other terms, if you reform it, the revolution will be considered a success. The essence is still the same. Many books in the world, also The nouns are all changed, but the essence remains the same... As long as you understand this principle, you are guaranteed to benefit from it throughout your life.

"For example, if you become a high-ranking official and someone offends you, you catch him and beat him up. This is a barbaric method in the era of autocracy, but you might as well say: 'This is the era of democracy, and you A person of order, the age of the monarchy can tolerate you, but the age of democracy can never pass you!' This is nothing more than replacing the word 'monarch' and inserting the word 'democracy'. Those who hear it will praise you for being well versed in the rule of law and having democracy. spirit of the times."

This is what he said after seeing the chaotic situation in Sichuan, so it can be seen where the "thick black school" came from.His arrogant attitude is not irrational. For example, he said: "I love reputation, but I especially love the truth. I can't say what I say, and I'm in my heart. Before I say it or write it, I must be cautious." Think about it; I have said it, even if I let someone attack me, I will not reply. But I will still carefully understand what the attacker said, and if it breaks my heart, I will still correct it.”

For example, someone accused him of "speaking nonsense every day (referring to "Houhei Xue")." He said: "I talk to people when I meet people, and I talk to ghosts when I meet ghosts. Excuse me, in today's world, don't say nonsense. What? But many of the words I published can be said to be human words when people see them, and ghosts when ghosts see them, so it’s okay.”

This is his "Spirit of Liyan", bony, lonely and angry, becoming a grotesque figure underestimated by the world.

His assertion of independent thinking can be represented by a passage in his book "Discussion on Social Issues", in which he said:
"As for academic thinking, I absolutely advocate 'independence and freedom'. The 'monarch' in Chinese politics and the 'sage' in academia are on the same track. Once the "emperor" is established, the great powers will disappear. At the same time, the schools of thought are also in constant dispute. Confucius has always been respected as a "sage", and the schools of thought will also be wiped out. The emperor gives an order, and the people must obey; if they do not obey , It means great rebellion. Scholars must believe any kind of argument made by a saint. If you don't believe it, it is also a great rebellion. The emperor is entrenched in the court, and the saint is entrenched in everyone's heart. Ravaged 'ideology'. There is a difference in the middle, the emperor's arbitrariness was made by the emperor himself, and the emperor himself should be responsible. The sage's arbitrariness was made by later generations with the help of Confucius, and Confucius could not take responsibility for it. The emperor of the Qing Dynasty After the fall, the power of a great emperor was scraped into countless small pieces, and distributed to the powerful soldiers in the country, becoming many "little emperors". As for Confucius, after the fall, the power of a great sage was scraped into countless pieces The small pieces were distributed to well-known domestic scholars, who became many "little saints". Warlords ravage public opinion, and academic lords ravage ideas. Behind the warlords, there are foreign "imperialists"; behind the academic lords, there are foreign "philosophers" The orders of the "little emperor" are absolutely majestic and cannot be disobeyed; the arguments of the "little sage" are considered to be absolutely correct, and no one is allowed to make up for them, and opponents are not allowed to have room for discussion."
