Chapter 158: Where Does Wealth Come From?
The "manager method" implemented by Pingzhang Ahma quickly paid off. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Because their government has been in a period of transition, coupled with poor supervision and other reasons, middle and low-level officials are indeed too greedy, petty officials are hugely corrupt, and petty officials are greedy...... While implementing it, Pingzhang Ahma carefully controlled the scale, and tried not to turn it into a "nest case" or a "landslide" case.
The bottom line here is to recover most of the embezzled profits, but also to let local people do the work.
In fact, it was the middle and low-level officials of the Hanfa faction who suffered the most...... They are indeed the most corrupt and the facts speak louder than words, and the ministers of the Hanfa faction can only grit their teeth and praise this movement!
The campaign also yielded a result.
Due to their political, economic, cultural, and other reasons, the Tatar bandit group has caused a serious division among the Han intellectuals in the north.
Some literati of large families are still actively involved in politics, and they are high-ranking officials, and they are successful in their careers; Although some literati were also keen on eunuchs, they were unlucky, and they sank into subordinates, and they were only petty officials and officials for life; There are also some literati who are forced or consciously to give up the pursuit of "learning and excelling", and are absolutely content with officialdom and become people outside the circle of fame.
Despite the above differences, the ideological tendency of the Han intellectuals in the north during this period was still the same, that is, the sense of sinking and crisis that permeated them, at least quite a few people could still tolerate it.
The treasury of the Tatar bandit group was rapidly replenished, which satisfied the big leader Kublai Khan, at least partially, for the military resources of the coalition forces that came one after another.
However, what he and Zhang Ahma selectively fail to see is that their low-level intellectuals are losing rapidly, which is much faster than in real history!
In fact, the Tatar bandit group held imperial examinations.
The first attempt was during the period of Ögedai Khan, when the big boss Ögedai had just taken the Central Plains, and the Zhongshu ordered Yelu Chucai to use Confucianism to select scholars, and he agreed.
So he ordered the official Shu Hude and Liu Zhong, the director of the Shanxi East Road Taxation Office, to take the exam in Lizhulu.
At that time, it was divided into three sections to discuss the meaning of the scriptures and the word endowment, making three agendas, specializing in one subject, and those who could listen to both, but not losing the meaning of the text as the middle choice...... Those who are selected shall be reinstated and ordered to serve with the chiefs of the divisions.
The "resumption of service" mentioned in the edict refers to the selection of Confucian students, if there is a farmer to pay the land tax, the trader to pay the cashier's tax, except for the operator who opens the store, except for the errand, and the rest of the errands are exempted in parallel.
All the selected Confucian scholars discussed official affairs with the civil officials of the various residences in Daluga, and then opened up a venue in accordance with the regulations of the first descent, selected to enter the office, and continued to listen to the orders of the court.
According to their original plan, they were going to set up another selection of candidates after that, but then they stopped the matter on the grounds that they were alive or thought it was wrong.
After the accession of the great leader Kublai Khan, they also had repeated discussions on the issue of the abolition of the imperial examination, but it was never implemented.
There are many reasons why they let the imperial examination be suspended for a long time.
First of all, in the generation of the great leader Kublai Khan, the Tatars had ruled the Central Plains for half a century.
During this period, those who surrendered to Fannatu were appointed as local governors and granted official positions according to the official system of the Jin Dynasty, and many of them became assistants to the Tatar bandit group.
They have command over the army and the people in their own territory, and have the right to appoint subordinate officials...... When the big boss Kublai Khan changed the official system, Ji Death Jin Zeng entered the official position and went to the palace to raise people, and almost all of them became established official candidates.
Therefore, there is no objective need for them to find another way.
Secondly, what they need now is a lot of military spending, and they are facing a serious financial shortfall.
Kublai Khan, the big boss, reused Pingzhang Ahma and let them "manage their finances to help the country", which has been opposed by many Confucian ministers in the court, and subjectively, he must support the financial management faction.
The imperial examination was an important part of the Han law, and the full implementation of this method by the Tatar bandit group meant a complete sinicization and the loss of the privileges of the Tatar aristocracy.
And the big boss Kublai Khan has always disliked the style of Confucian scholars of the Jin Dynasty who advocated poetry, and he thought that the Han people only gave poetry to the class, what would be the use!
At this time, Kublai Khan, the great leader, had lost his original enthusiasm and interest in Confucianism, and what he urgently needed was to strengthen his military strength and ensure financial use......
At this time, coupled with Pingzhang Ahma's vigorous promotion of the "Manager Law", the further suppression of middle and low-level intellectuals made them unbearable, and there was no way out...... If you don't get rich as an official, who will do that?
However, the middle and low-level intellectuals in the northern Han people now have one more choice, they can run, not by sea, but by land to the original Shandong Road!
They had long heard rumors that the gang of pirates who occupied the Shandong Road were not pirates at all, they were the families of merchants...... The wages there are high, and I heard that as long as you are a Confucian student, you can become a county commander-level official if you go!
Compared with the big families, they have more choices, they can bring their families with or without ...... Let's take a look first.
You can even abscond with your money!
The owners of Zhang Guoan and Wang Defa did not think about the issue of accepting intellectuals from the north, they only cared about labor.
Of course, they had no way to instruct Captain Bao Wei and the others on how to accept them in advance.
The management of the Liuqiu Guard in the entire Shandong Road is completely in the stage of military management...... They focused on managing public order and vigorously grasped the order issues that Zhang Guoan's owner had been asking for, and they didn't worry about other things, such as people's livelihood and taxation.
From the analysis of the source of wealth, they were indeed colonizing the entire Shandong Road.
The island was used as a supply of raw materials for industry, agriculture and mining, from which pig iron, coke, cotton, sugar, and, from time to time, several other minerals were transported monthly, even daily.
At the same time, the entire Shandong Road also has to accept the sale of industrial and agricultural products...... Judging by the science textbook, it should be very poor here.
However, Liuqiu Island only paid what they should have paid according to the market price, but the people of Shandong Road are getting richer and richer!
The laborers who worked for the farms, mines, and Zibo smelters that were set up here on the island were paid their fair wages, and their consumption was coveted by merchants large and small...... Captain Bao Wei and his companions once again carefully observed the development and changes in this chain of interests.
This time, they did not have the guidance of Zhang Guoan, but they saw it more clearly and clearly.
Squadron Leader Wu Di said: "Haha, all wealth is in the bosom of nature...... We just need to organize, and everyone will benefit! ”
Squadron Leader Merozie said, "Therefore, as long as nature is endless, the wealth of this world is endless...... But why is poverty still everywhere?! (To be continued.) )
