Come to think of it, this statement may not be all right. Officials who use their rights to save themselves a "ticket" are corrupt officials. However, the 100,000 taels of silver of this "magistrate" is the salary of the leader, but the salary is much higher than that of touts and officials. At best, it is just an unreasonable distribution problem, which has nothing to do with "greed". Otherwise, where did the "Qing" of "magistrate of a county" come from?
Tonight, I occasionally saw some salary information of Qipin county magistrate in Qing Dynasty on the Internet. According to the regulations, the annual salary of a county official in Qing Dynasty was 45 taels of silver, plus 20 tons of rice. This 45 taels of silver, in today's words, is the annual salary, that is, the income written on the payroll. If rice is converted into silver, the annual salary is only about 60 taels. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the official uniforms of court officials were paid by salaries. A magistrate's official uniform costs 50 or 60 taels of silver, and the annual income is basically spent on clothing. Obviously, the gap is huge. But there was a trick in the Qing dynasty called yanglianyin. Yang Lianyin of Qipin county magistrate can probably have 400 to 2000 Liang. It is 7 to 30 times the official salary.
These figures shocked me. A county magistrate's one-day salary plus one-year subsidy is only 2060 "snowflake silver", which is far from "100 thousand snowflake silver" It seems that this kind of inexpensive silver is not "inexpensive". Once you associate "honest official" with "100,000 snowflakes and silver", it is not "honest official".
On second thought, "100 thousand snowflakes and silver" is still an act of "being honest and clean" This "honest official" is a leader who does not directly use his power to ask for bribes, take, get cards and demands, nor does he change his way to hint at the other party to send money. Just because China is a country of etiquette, there are too many things that reciprocate. Especially on holidays, what subordinate units send red envelopes to leaders, can they not! ? Don't be unreasonable, divorced from the masses, and even let other leaders lead! Then do it. Some leaders feel at ease, while others have to. But after all, I want them all. After three or five years, I can still feel at ease and let nature take its course. A friend in the county told me that it is very popular to give red envelopes to leaders during the New Year. There are about thirty or forty bureaus, committees, offices, townships, towns and meeting places under the county government. Each unit only gives the leader something, about 3000 yuan. Thirty or forty red envelopes add up to hundreds of thousands. My friend's words once again stunned me. In ancient times, "honest officials" earned100000 in three years, and now their annual net income is100000. Really: let's see that each generation is better than the next. Today is better than the ancients!
There seems to be a simple and complicated truth here, whether you feel at ease or let nature take its course. If you don't have a formal job and wear a black hat, no one will give you a red envelope and no ghost will pee on you!
This is still about "honest officials." If they are corrupt officials, money will flood in. Ding, who once served as secretary of the county party Committee of Zhenghe County, Fujian Province, has a shocking theory: "If an official doesn't make a fortune, please don't come;" Officials don't accept money, and there is no money to retreat. " Secretary Ding's theory is not only practiced by himself, but also by many officials. These officials have high positions, with five, four or even three grades. Such as Liu from Jiangxi, Anhui, Guizhou and Wang Xingbao from Shangrao, Jiangxi. All their greed for silver is more than one million yuan.
A deputy provincial procurator-general in a province has accumulated wealth to the point of despair and shameless. It is said that the leader in charge of life and death personally came to the office of the project leader, threatened to let his son contract a project business, took out a pile of report letters to report the project leader, fell on his desk, and publicly threatened: whether to investigate you or give the project business to my son! ?
Since the reform and opening up, about 4,000 officials have fled with more than seven kinds of products, carrying more than 50 billion US dollars. The average amount of money taken by each leader is equivalent to more than 654.38 billion yuan. What a shock!
Corruption is a common problem in officialdom, from ancient times to the present. Anti-corruption is actually a bureaucratic problem, and it is also the * * * knowledge of rulers of past dynasties. Wu Zetian mobilized the public to report the official's dereliction of duty directly to the court, which created a precedent for the masses to report corruption directly to the central government. Emperor Wu Ke's "officials" were not cured, but Zhou Xing and Lai Junchen, two cruel officials who had never seen before, were cured. Historically, bureaucracy and anti-corruption have become tools of "party struggle" and means of excluding dissidents in many cases. This may be one of the reasons why corruption can last! So, how to fight corruption and how to govern officials? Can't say this is not a problem?
Of course, history is advancing, the times are progressing, and people are full of hope for the future!
