Chapter 142 Petty Officials Huge Corruption Prevention Happens

Chen Ying looked at the confession below and was instantly shocked. Wang Xuanqiong, as the head of the Taolin Gold Mine, embezzled 20,000 taels of gold in two years, which is equivalent to 200,000 yuan, and Chen Ying was actually shocked by this amount.

However, I saw that a petty official named Han Boying, who had the position of Qipin Cangcheng, actually embezzled 9,321 taels of gold in two years.

Seeing this number, 10,000 grass and mud horses roared past in Chen Ying's heart.

What is the concept of nine thousand three hundred and twenty-one taels of gold? This is equivalent to 90,320 yuan of money, as an official from the seventh grade, Han Boying's money, including 25 yuan and 200 yuan per year, 75 stone money, 350 acres of professional land, plus 20 yuan of servant money (equivalent to the current bus subsidy), all of these legal incomes add up, which is equivalent to about 102,000 yuan, which is equivalent to 102,000 yuan.

However, this petty official has embezzled a full 100,000 yuan, and if he is not promoted, it is equivalent to his 1,000 years of money. However, this is not a special case, there is also a Jiupin official, Zhang Xun, from the Jiupin official's income is lower, but seventy yuan, he actually embezzled more than 1,400 taels of gold, which is his two hundred years of money.

As the so-called upper beam is not right 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 has been transported to Luoyang or squandered, Chen Ying is also very helpless.

However, deducting 17,000 taels of gold and more than 50,000 taels of silver from the mouths of these people was Chen Ying's unexpected joy.

After reading Zhou Chengdong's entire presentation, Chen Ying couldn't help but sigh: "This Zhou Chengdong is simply a genius." I don't want to have such a character among our fierce tigers. ”

Yu Qing seemed to disagree with Chen Ying's statement, and sighed: "Where is he a genius, it's just that he is sick in his heart." ”

Chen Ying nodded and said: "Yes, no matter what you say, Zhou Chengdong has made a great contribution this time, making something out of nothing, deducting more than 17,000 taels of gold, and it is not too much to award three military merits." Uncle Yu, how do you think you reward him? ”

Yu Qingdao: "It's all up to your own family!" ”

Chen Ying thought about it, but he actually had a plan. Through Wang Xuanqiong's incident, corruption from the bottom to the bottom actually gave Chen Ying a wake-up call. His family business is getting bigger and bigger, and it is difficult to ensure that no one with ulterior motives is involved.

Interests, in fact, are a gap that is difficult to fill, although Chen Ying has adopted the method of dividing the shares, but this is only a symptom, but not a root cause. Although the income from dry stocks is quite large, it is very different from what is obtained from corruption.

Even if the shares pay dividends, because there are too many interests involved. Chen Ying can't pay dividends with all the shares, he needs to use the profits of the industry to nurse the cub of Datang University of Technology, more than 6,000 students, at least five or six hundred teachers need to be recruited, because of the engineering university, Chen Ying does not need to hire all famous teachers and Confucians, but it is also indispensable for doctors like Wei Meng, Ge Tong, Yan Shihu, Guo Zhun, and Lin Chuanfu who have rich experience in craftsmanship.

Five or six hundred teachers, each of whom is not a lot of money for 100 yuan, so in the next year, the expenditure of teaching alone is 50,000 or 60,000 yuan, more than 6,000 children's food and clothing, plus the cost of education in the school, 100,000 yuan can not be stopped. Of course, in the teaching process of engineering universities, on the basis of theory, a large number of experiments are indispensable, but experiments, especially large-scale academic experimental courses, are also very expensive.

Not counting Chenjiabao, which is just a prototype, all the school buildings, classrooms, dormitory buildings, sports training venues and a large number of teaching materials, Datang University of Technology needs at least more than 500,000 yuan from preparation to use, and it will not be less than 200,000 yuan per year.

In addition, the equipment for the Tang Army is upgraded and upgraded, and the funds invested in this will be a bottomless pit. Therefore, it is impossible for Chen Ying to give too many dividends to the stewards and craftsmen, at most about three points, compared to the hundreds of times the benefits, taking out this money will definitely make countless people jealous or red-eyed.

Obviously, they may not dare, but there are too many people who are driven by interests and take risks. At this time, it is indispensable to establish a necessary internal monitoring body.

Any constraint can only be effective if it is supervised. Otherwise, no matter how good the system is, it will deteriorate. The collapse of the Great Qin Empire was precisely because of the collapse of the Great Qin Empire's farming and warfare system, and the fall of the Han Empire was because the local officials had too much power and lost their restraints, so the princes attacked each other and fought endlessly. The root of the Tang Empire's transformation from prosperity to weakness is, in the final analysis, also because the occupation field of the government soldiers was encroached upon by the clan lords, so that the government soldiers did not even have the ration field to maintain the most fundamental life, so this majestic and invincible iron-blooded strong army crossed the sky like a meteor, gorgeous and beautiful......

Of course, the best way is to let hundreds of officials enter the supervision of the common people, and the eyes of the masses are bright, and only in this way can we put an end to corruption and maintain peace and stability for a long time.

It's just that in this era, if you want to implement such a set of political system reforms, Chen Ying has no ability to do it at all, unless he can control the government like Huo Guang, but Huo Guang's fate doesn't seem to be very good, Emperor Xuan of Han not only killed Huo Guang's entire family, but even Huo Quai's grandson Huo Shan and Huo Yun were also removed.

Chen Ying decided to implement such a system of supervision in the system of the Jingzhao Chen clan, which he could hold absolute power.

Zhou Chengdong was called to the festival hall by Chen Ying, and Chen Ying didn't even leave Ashina Simo, only Zhou Chengdong and Chen Ying had a secret conversation.

Throughout the night, the candles in Chen Ying's festival hall were not extinguished all night. From time to time, there were quarrels, but Ashina Simo resolutely carried out Chen Ying's order, and within fifty steps of the festival, no one was allowed to approach, and violators would be killed.

No one knows what Chen Ying discussed with Zhou Chengdong. Later, according to the "Book of Tang", it was recorded that in the winter and spring of the third year of Wude, the Ministry of Works, the right servant of the Taixing Taishang Book in eastern Shaanxi, the prince's guest, the champion general, and the prince of Pengcheng County said: The king is the same as the sky, Shi Qi is the creator, the time is saved, and the people are parents. Therefore, the valley is not climbed, and the people are prayed. The universe is beneficial, and the Son of Heaven is obedient; The mountains and rivers are secret, and the Son of Heaven is through. Benefiting the people, the loss is not stingy, such as or gathered, only for relief...... The kings of the ancients, the world has its people, or water and fire to help them, or nests to teach their dwellings, or teach farmers to get rid of their hunger, or train clothes to get rid of their wretchedness. Therefore, Zhou's "poems" are called "the teachings of teaching, the food of drinking", all of which are so caressing and nurture those who seek benefits for it.

The edict said: "The people's interests are in Si, as deep as stated." Fu Ba discussed whether it was possible to hear it. ”

However, the "Book of Tang" did not leave a single word about Chen Ying's secret discussion, and the content of the discussion between the two became a secret that was difficult for later generations to see.

However, since then, Zhou Chengdong, who was one of the three major Yi, withdrew directly from Menghuyi, because there were more than 300 people who quit from the Tiger Yicong, so Zhou Chengdong's withdrawal did not attract everyone's attention.

Chen Ying also reformed the Tiger Yicong, abolished Sanyitong, and left more than 2,600 people, which were reorganized into six regiments. Chen Tong, who was originally unknown, became the head of the Tiger Righteous Cong. And Zhou Qing and Guo Luo, who are also unknown, have become the left and right deputy managers of the Tiger Yicong.

And Chen Tong never showed his true face until the end, when he met everyone, he wore a golden tiger stripe mask on his face, and Chen Tong's identity has also become a mystery that has never been solved by the tigers.

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

Chen Ying swept Wang Xuanqiong's vault, 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. In addition to the Modao Army, because the equipment of the soldiers of the Modao Army is too cumbersome, it is simply a waste of resources to let the Modao Army act as ordinary crossbowmen, so all the soldiers except the Modao Army are all issued with a bow, and there are eighty-two combat regiments in the whole army, 21,006 bows, and the crossbow machine is specially distributed to all the archery regiments.

Seventeen archery regiments, 5,100 men with a bow each, 30 arrows, supplies separately. Five thousand and one hundred crossbow machines, sixty crossbow arrows. There is also a horizontal knife in his hand. As for the spear (long soldier), a bow and thirty arrows were also issued, and a horizontal sword. In this way, the whole army has at least two or more blades, and it doesn't matter if the archer is bullied by the enemy, he draws his horizontal sword and cuts him.

Ge spear gun (long soldier) encounters a small space, the long soldier weapon can't be used, it doesn't matter, we have a horizontal knife, a knife down still white knife in, red knife out.

As for the equipment, it is too bulky and difficult to move. Please, the Tang Dynasty has horses, and war horses can be sold for twenty or even hundreds of dollars in the Song Dynasty, but in the Tang Dynasty, cattle are sold for eight thousand yuan, horses can only be sold for five to six thousand yuan, and twenty thousand war horses, tens of thousands of yuan, how big is it for Chen Ying, who only has money left?

Chen Ying had nearly 800,000 yuan of gold, silver and precious metals in his hand at this time, if this money was not spent, in fact, it would be useless at all, and gold and silver could not be used or eaten, it was just precious metals.

Chen Ying wrote his thoughts to Li Jiancheng, this letter was written by Chen in the vernacular, with just a few lines on it: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister has made a fortune, and the total amount of gold and silver seized is about 700,000 yuan, and the minister's idea is to strengthen the individual equipment of the whole army, which is expected to require 20,000 war horses, 15,000 horizontal swords, and 12,000 pairs of Mingguang armor." There were 5,100 crossbows and 200,000 arrows.

Two days later, Li Jiancheng received Chen Ying's secret letter, and the content of this secret letter hit Li Jiancheng's soft underbelly at once.

But when Wei Zheng saw this letter, he roared like thunder: "General Chen is really a loser, don't feel distressed when you sell your grandfather!" “

According to Chen Ying's proposal, more than 20,000 people and horses need to be invested in the left and right guards of the East Palace and more than 20,000 people and horses, the key is that there is no shortage of equipment under Chen Ying, a large number of materials and equipment captured on the battlefield, and now there is still so much equipment, what is this?

There is no way for the East Palace to expand its establishment, and it is even more impossible to talk about the expansion of the army.
