Chapter 298 greed
No one wants to kill such idiots. There is no end to them. Being an official for thousands of miles is just for money. This sentence is not just a saying, but a very common social phenomenon. Not all corrupt officials should be killed. Corrupt officials should not be killed.
Yes, you don’t have to kill those who can do things. You don’t have to kill those who are greedy and can bring greater benefits. You don’t have to kill those who know when not to be greedy.
Those who only know that they are greedy should be killed. Those who do not know how to do things should be killed. Those who are greedy when they should not be greedy should be killed.
Before coming out this time, Master Xuandu told Quan Sun like this, and Quan Sun also inspected according to this standard. If the loopholes were to be filled, they would be dealt with as appropriate, either by demotion or fines. Although he was greedy for money.
Yes, but the people under the rule have strict security and strong military combat capabilities, so I just gave them a warning to let them know that this is not the time to be greedy.
Each main city will stay for six days, and each provincial city will stay for four days. Check everything in it carefully, make sure that all the supplies are in the right quantity, and that the troops in each city can fight before leaving.
.
One after another, heads fell to the ground, and the messages sent to the military towns every day were never cut off. They were all begging for mercy from their respective masters. Especially the reformists were the most numerous. People who were not reformists were more corrupt, and people who were not reformists were more corrupt.
Many. It's just that those people feel that the relationship between the reformists and Quan Sun is closer, and even Quan Sun is a member of the reformists, so the reformists seek help more.
It just disappointed them. He didn't even read the documents they asked for help. He just threw them into the furnace and burned them.
"I hope that after this killing, the Xijiao Military Town will be a little clearer." Jie Yin smiled bitterly. Xi Jiao Military Town is the poorest among the major military towns. It also has the fewest talents. In order to develop the military town in the early years, Jie Yin
They also did not pay attention to the moral character of the selected officials. As long as they were capable, they were appointed to important positions.
The original plan was to wait until the Western Teaching Army Town got out of the predicament, and then find ways to slowly select people with both ability and political integrity, and then eliminate those with talent and lack of virtue. However, as time went by, the tail became too big, and Jie Yin found that he
Ignoring the greed of human nature. After these people took office, they promoted corrupt officials, and unlike themselves, they were all corrupt officials who were only greedy for money and did not do anything.
Among those who were promoted, there were many who were greedy and many who were capable of corruption. Once, the Divine Court allocated 100 million in military expenditures and mobilized several troops to go out to fight against the ancient tribe. As a result, only 40 million of the 100 million military expenditures were spent.
Ten million, and the rest was corrupted, by one person.
When Jie Yin found out about it, he was so angry that he was shaking all over. He immediately ordered the corrupt people to be captured and killed according to the laws of the Divine Court. As a result, the messenger who delivered the order had not even reached the bloody grinding plate when the good news came. Jie Yin just watched.
After taking a quick look, he personally went out to chase the envoy back. He also issued a hush-hush order not to reveal even a single word about the matter to the outside world.
Because of that corrupt official, he won a battle, a great victory, and sent out a million-strong Shenting army. He suffered half a million losses and killed three million enemies. The casualty ratio was one to six, a rare ratio in the history of Shenting. Don't say it was just corruption.
If he paid 60 million, even if he had squandered all the 100 million military expenditure, he would not kill him, but would just reprimand him a few times.
Not to mention, this corrupt official also handed over 13 million worth of trophies. For Shenting, not only did they fight a battle without a single Shenting coin, but they earned three million Shenting coins. This is just
The profits on the books have not yet taken into account other aspects, such as how much revenue the plundered land can create for the Divine Court every year, how much tax revenue the robbed subjects can bring to the Divine Court, and so on.
After the whole battle, Shenting's only loss was the soldiers who died in the battle. However, the death ratio of soldiers was one for six. Shenting did not suffer a loss, but made a huge profit.
As for the soldiers, although the corrupt official deducted their military expenses, he did not deduct military pay or the spoils of war that the soldiers deserved, so it was harmless.
The only thing that left Jie Yin unsatisfied was that after the war, Hongjun promoted this corrupt official to the position of deputy city lord of a military town, causing him to lose a general in the Western Teaching Military Town. It was a pity.
Otherwise, his Western-style military town should have prospered long ago, and war and plunder alone would be enough.
"I can send an upright official there who won't embezzle even a Shenting coin and can even pay for it out of his own pocket. But such an official cannot win a big battle. In the end, after a battle is won, the losses will definitely not be due to corruption.
Sixty million can make up for it." This was what Jie Yin explained to him when Hongyun, another named disciple of Hongjun, came to Jie Yin for theory after the incident.
These words are not groundless, but have actually happened.
Another military town in Shenting, Qionggao Military Town, launched a battle with the Western Jiao Military Town at the same time to attack the ancient tribe. At that time, it was not only these two military towns, but all the military towns in the wilderness outside Shenting, including those in Xuandu City.
Under coordination, a major attack was launched. The result was an unexpected victory for the Xijiao Army, while the Qionggao Army was routed thousands of miles away.
The general who commanded the troops in Qionggao Army Town at that time was an absolute moral saint with no flaws at all. He pitied the common people for the difficulty of making money, and ordered that wherever the army passed by, they were not allowed to trample crops or purchase daily military supplies.
At that time, the settlement was done in cash on the spot, and the price would not be less than one Shenting coin.
As a result, after he encountered the ancient army, he collapsed at the first touch. It was not that the soldiers did not work hard, or that the number was not superior, but simply because of his high morals. How could a person who even cares about buying groceries be able to make a big impact during a war?
Victory?
If it was just a defeat, then that would be it. It is not unacceptable, but after the defeat, it was difficult to gather the remaining troops and defeat the generals. But because of a rule not to trample on the crops or disturb the people, hundreds of thousands of troops were overtaken and kept being chased.
They fought for more than a thousand miles, until rivers of blood flowed out. In the end, the entire army was wiped out.
It was also because there was a precedent that the official did not really care about the personal ethics of the official. He only looked at ability. As long as he had ability, he was willing to let him be an official and a key official. But after so many years, he was disappointed.
.These capable officials, after taking their positions, are greedy for money, but they do not do practical work.
It's not that he doesn't do practical things, but that he has gradually degenerated. He only knows how to enjoy and not know how to do things. Because it is a gradual deterioration process, Jieyin didn't pay attention to it at the beginning, but by the time he reacted, it was already too late.
