Chapter 192: The Fundamental Drawback Of High Salary And High Salary, Greedy People [Please Subscrib
“Isn’t this just [representing the higher meaning] or [distorting the upper meaning]?!!”
King Yan Zhu Di frowned.
The local county magistrate and subordinates responsible for collecting taxes arbitrarily changed the amount of taxes collected, and claimed that the imperial court had changed the amount of taxes.
In Zhu Di's opinion, it was [representing the upper meaning] and [distorting the upper meaning] that Yan Changqing taught them before.
Local county magistrates and subordinates "represent" the imperial court to tell the people under their rule that the amount of taxes collected has changed. This is what the representative meant!
The imperial court clearly only needs to collect a tax of 12,000 stones, but local county magistrates and subordinates have to collect an additional "retained" field tax. This is a misinterpretation!
"That's certainly true."
Yan Changqing nodded and replied.
Representing the superior intention and misinterpreting the superior intention are basically the basic operations of local county magistrates and subordinates.
"Although the people are unable to fight against the local county magistrates and subordinates, the local county magistrates and subordinates are so difficult and oppressive to the people."
"Didn't those people think about going to the state and government to accuse and report the illegal behavior of local county magistrates and subordinates, and ask the state to uphold justice for them?!!!"
King Qin Zhu Xi looked at Yan Changqing with a puzzled expression.
In his opinion, although the subordinates of local county magistrates are as difficult to deal with as imps, as long as the behavior of these "imps" is reported to the "King of Hell", that is, the state and government officials who are superior to the subordinates of local county magistrates.
At that time, 17-level officials from various states and governments will personally inspect and verify, as long as the inspections verify that what the people say is true.
So with the power controlled by officials at the higher levels of states and governments, it is just a slap in the face to kill those local county magistrates and subordinates who have done evil.
Before Yan Changqing opened his mouth to answer, Jin Wang Zhu Fan, who was sitting next to Qin Wang Zhu Xi, was already looking at the void with mocking eyes, as if he was looking at the local county magistrates and subordinates who were doing evil, and said:
"Justice?!!"
"Whose justice?!!"
"Presiding over justice for local county magistrates and subordinates?!!"
"Mr. Yan also said before that not all of the 'retention' collection remains within the county, but also includes the amount that needs to be retained at the state or prefectural level.
"In other words, the behavior of local county magistrates and subordinate officials in overcharging land taxes has been recognized by the states and governments!!!"
"When local people go to the state or government to accuse and report local county magistrates and subordinates, doesn't it mean that 'who is under the government to sue this official'?!"
“At that time, those people who dare to go to the state or government to accuse or report local county magistrates or subordinates will either be unable to leave the state or government court, or they will be forcibly sent back to the original county by state and government officials.
"The people who were finally sent back to the original county to accuse and report the case will soon be covered in bruises and wounds, and will eventually 'feel guilty and commit suicide.'
In the view of Jin King Zhu Fan, when state and government officials also have a share of retained taxes, then this matter cannot be resolved by going to the state or government to complain or report.
Since the states and governments are the beneficiaries of this retained tax, it is impossible for the governors of the states to be willing to harm their own interests for the sake of fairness to the people.
Want to solve the problem of excessive land tax levied on local people.
Unless local people can overcome the obstruction of local county magistrates and subordinates, overcome the obstruction of state and government officials, and may even have to overcome the obstruction of civil and military officials in the capital.
Only by truly walking in front of these princes and emperors can a solution be possible.
Because local county magistrates and subordinates, as well as states and governments dared to add a retained tax to the land tax collected by the court, if no one in the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty knew about such a thing.
Then you look down on all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty!!!
However, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty still did not say anything, and even chose to cover up and cover up.
There is only one reason, and that is that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are very likely to be the beneficiaries of this retained tax!!!
Therefore, there must be a place where people can really find one and not benefit from this retained tax benefit.
And he is also willing to go to local county magistrates, petty officials, state and government officials, and even all the civil and military officials in the capital to seek justice for the common people like them!
And for such people, except for the princes themselves and their father, the emperor, there is no one else who meets the requirements.
However, if a local people wants to cross a distance of thousands of miles, they must overcome the layers of resistance from local county magistrates and subordinates, officials from various states and prefectures, and all the civil and military officials in the capital.
How difficult is it to finally walk in front of these princes and emperors?!
If these princes and emperors are like the sky, then it would be difficult for the local people to see them in the sky!!!
[However, although no local people came to them personally to state their case for such a matter, Mr. Yan still told them in front of them. 】
[With the character of my father, I will definitely not let this kind of thing continue to exist. This time, local county magistrates, subordinates, state and government officials, who are in the capital, civil and military affairs, and the Southern Tang Dynasty may all be killed. 】
[But this kind of thing cannot be solved by killing the word. 】
[The fundamental reason why such things happened is that in order to maintain their own prosperous and dignified lives, those officials did not have enough salary to spend, so they had to find ways to make money in other ways. 】
[As long as the problem of "low" official salaries is not solved, even those local county magistrates, subordinates of local magistrates, state and government officials who have collected excessive taxes will be killed through iron-blooded killing methods. 】
[It won’t be long before those local county magistrates, state and government officials will think of other ways to continue to make money from the people to maintain their own rich and decent lives. 】
[The so-called "what has been done will be done again, what has been done will be done again", this is true!!!]
Thinking of this, Zhu Fan's understanding of the sixteen-character mantra that Yan Changqing said before, "What has been done will be done again, and what has been done will be done again."
"Is it possible that the salaries of officials must be increased to prevent those local county magistrates, state and government officials from continuing to find excuses to over collect land taxes and oppress the people?!!"
Zhou Wang Zhu Zhu frowned and said with a unswerving expression.
King Yan Zhu Di shook his head and expressed his disapproval of this plan:
“Raising officials’ salaries [is nothing more than treating the symptoms rather than the root cause.”
"Even this method will only encourage officials' arrogance!"
"After all, the salary provided by the imperial court, or rather the father, is enough to cover the expenses of those officials and their families."
“The main reason why there is a problem of insufficient salary is because those officials spend too much on their private lives.
"But it is impossible for the imperial court to pay for the private life expenses of these officials!!!"
"Even if the imperial court can temporarily meet the private life expenses of those officials by temporarily increasing their official salaries."
“But what happens after that?!!”
"When the officials' private life expenses are increasing and increasing again, does the court still have to increase the officials' salaries again to meet their private life expenses?!!"
"If this is the case, it turns out that officials are squeezing the people to meet their own private life expenses. Doesn't it mean that officials are squeezing the imperial treasury in disguise to meet their own private life expenses?!!"
"If this is true, sooner or later the imperial treasury will be depleted by the salaries of these officials."
"High salaries to support integrity will only breed more and more corrupt officials!!!"
“Because it is impossible for the human heart to be truly satisfied.
In 810 Zhu Di's view, there is almost no solution to the problem of official oppression.
Because the root cause of this problem is the greed of people!!!
Officials want to obtain more financial and salary income to satisfy their increasingly luxurious private life expenses.
Then there are only two ways, either to squeeze the imperial treasury and force the imperial court to adopt some kind of "high salary to support integrity" system to support them.
Either they squeeze money from the people, and they forcefully extract money from the people to meet their own private life expenses.
In other words, if one of the court or the people is squeezed by them voluntarily or involuntarily, they will not squeeze the other party.
But will the imperial court, or rather their father, be willing to let those officials squeeze the national treasury?!!
Don’t even think about it!!!
Their father would only kill all the officials of the nine tribes who thought of exploiting the treasury as a warning to others!!!
Faced with this situation, those officials will naturally focus on the weak and bullied common people and turn to squeezing the common people.
Therefore, in his opinion, the problem of human greed is unsolvable.
But it's not necessarily unsolvable when it comes to Yan Changqing, at least that's what Zhu Di thinks.
[After all, Mr. Yan is a Saint!!!]
[Since Mr. Yan has exposed the hat trick of local county magistrates, subordinates, state and government officials, then Mr. Yan must have thought of a corresponding solution, right?!!]
[Otherwise, you would have failed Mr. Yan’s Saint’s wisdom!!!]
Thinking of this, Zhu Di couldn't help but raise his head and look at Yan Changqing with curiosity, looking forward to the solution Yan Changqing gave.
