The huge Yan Dynasty only had the voice of Dong Yi, the official in charge of the millet, and others, including the Prime Minister Wang Wan, dared not speak. Dong Yi was worried that the officials of Qin would rush to buy the national debts of the four countries of Guandong, but what was more serious than his concern was the Qin administration exposed in his words.

‘When the officials in the capital and the officials were solemn, all of whom were respectful, frugal, honest, loyal, and trustworthy, and unlucky. This was the officials of ancient times.’ Xunzi said this.

‘When entering the country, the scholars and officials came out of their own doors, went into the public doors, went out of the public doors, and returned to their homes, without any private affairs. No matter how different Zhou, they were not clichés and officials, they were all clear and clear, and they were the scholars and officials of ancient times.’ Xunzi said this again.

This is true? Xunzi was born in Qi State for the wine sacrificial ceremony for Jixia Academy. Later, he was resigned from office and entered Chu, and then joined Zhao ("Consolidation of Military Affairs"), and finally entered Qin again. He was not allowed to enter Qin, so he had to enter Chu again and ended up with Lanling Order. His purpose of praise for Qin State was self-evident.

If the Qin doctors really were "not as good as Zhou, not as cliques, and all of them were clear and public," why did King Zhaoxiang of Qin not obey Bai Qi's advice, and did not give Zhao a breath after the Changping War, gritted his teeth and continued to destroy Zhao? After the Zhao people's delayed military plan, they urged Bai Qi to go to war, so why did Bai Qi be killed?

Later, the gangsters of Lao Ai's rebellion, "The Prime Minister Changpingjun and Changwenjun sent soldiers to attack Wu Ai. They fought against Xianyang, beheaded hundreds of people, and all of them were called titles." How did the hundreds of people beheaded come from? Could it be that Lao Ai learned from Sun Wukong and pulled out a few bird feathers under his crotch?

It is obvious that the literati and officials of Qin formed a clique for personal gain, which was not conducive to the country. The corruption of Qin officials was also extremely astonishing, not as Xunzi beautified, "Everyone is respectful, frugal, honest, loyal, and trustless but not rude."

"When the heroes and officials in Pei heard that there were important guests, they all went to congratulate him... and ordered the officials to say, "If you are less than a thousand, you will sit in the hall." The old friend of the county magistrate, Lu Gong, voted for the county magistrate and came to Pei County to settle down. When he moved to the house, he held a banquet. If the congratulations were less than a thousand, he could only sit under the eaves. The heroes and officials in the county gave the county magistrate face, so they "we will all go to congratulate him." How much congratulations can Lu Gong collect after this banquet?

Liu Bang paid only 80 stones a year, and his annual income of 30 coins per stone was only 2,400 yuan. If he wanted to sit in the hall, he would have to spend 40% of his annual income. Liu Bang had to spend 40% of his annual income, and Xiao He and other county officials had to spend 40% of his annual income? The county magistrate's old friend Lu Gong had to celebrate a thousand coins before he could sit in the hall. If it was a banquet at his own home, how much would the congratulations money would be needed to sit in the hall?

'Gaozu gave officials to Xianyang, and all officials gave him three coins, but he only gave him five.' "Collected Interpretations of the Grand Historian" quoted Li Qi's words: 'It may be three hundred, or five hundred.' The former is a congratulatory money, and there is also an excuse for the joy of moving in the house. Here is a direct gift. When other officials practiced, each gave Liu Bang three hundred coins, and Xiao He was a higher level. He was the chief official and the county organization minister. Because he valued Liu Bang, he gave him five hundred coins alone.

According to Qin rules, "one qian is used to tattoo the city," there were dozens of officials in the county yamen, and hundreds of people. This money was enough for Liu Bang to tattoo tens of thousands of times. After the tattoo, even the old lady Liu could not recognize it.

The county magistrates are below the grassroots officials. It may be difficult for grassroots officials to change their bad habits. So what about the county magistrates or above?

'Li You, the governor of Sanchuan, returned to Xianyang, Li Si, and Li Si, had a drink at home. All officials and chiefs were all in front of him. The chariots and cavalry of the court were thousands of chariots and cavalry of the court.' After Li Si was appointed as the right prime minister, his son Li You, the governor of Sanchuan County, went home after leaving. Li Si held a banquet at home. All officials knew that the chariots and cavalry of the court were all in front of him.' The old county magistrate's banquet was that the congratulations were only a thousand, and the congratulations could not be sat in the hall. How much would the congratulations would he have to sit in the hall?

So many people sent money to the door, which made Li Si sigh: "Alas! I heard that Xunqing said, "There is a great fortune." Husse went to Cai Buyi, and the head of Guizhou in the alleys. The emperor did not know his pursuit, so he was promoted to this. Nowadays, no one is a minister who is at the top of the minister. He can be said to be extremely rich and noble. The extreme things will decline, and I do not know the tax drivers!"

(Oh! I heard Xun Qing say, "Remember things not too prosperous." I, Li Si, was originally a civilian from Shangcai, and the people in the streets and alleys. The emperor did not understand me and could only be inferior, so he promoted me to such a high position. Nowadays, no one is more than my ministers. It can be said that he has reached the extreme of wealth. However, the extreme of development of things is about to decline, and I don't know where I will be!)

"The migrant captives have a little extra wealth, and they fight for officials." This is the plunder of the newly occupied areas and the enemy's captives after the war. "Those who are not satisfied with thousands of people will sit in the hall." "The officials all give three coins, why are they alone? "The officials are all going to live in front of them, and the chariots and cavalry of the court are thousands of people." This is a naked bribe within the Qin officialdom. The result of this bribery made Xiang Liang, the Great Stolen County, Qin, arrested in Liyang County, Qin, but released a letter from Cao Ju, a prison officer (warner) of Qi County, thousands of miles away.

The corruption and corruption of Qin officials can be seen here. Officials are seeking wealth and honor, but why do they become officials if they don’t seek wealth? Liu Bang, the police station chief, risked his life to catch bad people, and his annual income was only 2,400 yuan. This is really better than going home to farm - a farmer harvests 150 stones of millet for a hundred acres, and 30 coins per stone for 4,500 yuan. This is just the money for growing millet, plus the income from silk, linen, weaving cloth, at least 6,000 yuan a year.

The police station chief's income is less than half of the farmers' income, and he is always risking his life. How can he support his family? Even if he becomes the county magistrate, he will only be 600 to 1,000 stones per year. Is there a lot? There are twenty-five households in the honorary family, and each household pays 15 stones of land rent for 375 stones.

There are also fu, tuition, household taxes, and household taxes do not count. Each household has ten stones of military tax, which adds up to 625 stones. In addition, each household has '300 yuan for the temple in the New Year and Autumn Period', which is 7,500 yuan, and 30 coins per stone is equal to 250 stones.

A Lu can receive 850 stones, but Lu is a ban, not a contract, but a private property. If the honorary scholar does not pursue military training, the money spent on sacrificial sacrifices will be enough to compare with the Qin county magistrate. According to the titles and salary of Qin, the annual salary of the 15th-level title is only 700 stones, and the Chehou, who is at the highest 20th-level title, only 1,000 stones. The income of a honorary scholar is equivalent to the county magistrate of Qin, and the income of the 15th-level title is equivalent to that of the Qin county magistrate of Qin.

Even if he was the position of the Three Dukes of Qin, he would have only 10,000 stones per year. These 10,000 stones are likely to be empty, and the actual amount of distribution will be greatly reduced. The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and the prime minister of the Han Dynasty offered 10,000 stones per month, but the actual monthly salary was only 350 hu (stones), which is 4,200 stones per year. Ten thousand stones are only 300,000 coins, which is 31 gold; 4,200 stones are even less, only 13 gold.

Moreover, the income is only for the Prime Minister and the Grand Marshal. The next level of the Censor and the Nine Ministers, there are only two thousand stones. The actual output of two thousand stones is only six golds, and the annual salary of 1,440 stones is only four and a half gold. This amount of money is not as much as a sailor on the sea boat in the Chu State, and the Prime Minister is not as much as a sea boat official.

If it is not comparable to the sailors of the sea and boat officials, it is not as good as ordinary merchants. Lu Buwei asked his father about the profit of farming fields, and answered ten times; if it is about the profit of pearls and jade, answered hundred times. Suppose the cost of merchants is the same as that of farmers. If the cost of farmers is the same as that of farmers, the farmers earn 6,000 coins a year, and the annual income of merchants is 60,000 coins a year. How can merchants earn the same capital as farmers? Even if it is the same, the annual income of 60,000 coins is more than that of the censor and the nine ministers of the court besides the prime minister and the Grand Marshal.

The Qin official courtesy has a very distinctive feature, that is, "the salary is low for military purposes." The salary of officials is very low. The salary is very low, and the legalists are characterized by minor crimes and heavy punishments. The detailed laws regard officials' mistakes, dereliction of duty, and violations of the system are very strict, and they are often given shields and armor.

‘There was no longer a horse and he couldn’t get a shield.’ After the carriage arrived, the carriage did not unload it in time and was fined a shield. Three hundred and eighty-four cents were gone;

‘The cow is big and the female is ten, and the six are not sons, and the cow is one shield each.’ If there are six cows that do not give birth to calves, the cow is punished by the officer. I think when necessary, the cow and the cow are only allowed to go on their own.

‘There are ten females on the sheep, four of them are not sons, and one shield will be given to each of them.’ If there are four ewes, the sirens and the assistant officials will punish one shield. This time, the sirens and the assistant officials may have to change the sheep.

The salary of the assistant official is unlikely to be higher than that of the pavilion. Two or three thousand yuan a year is not enough to support the family. Cows do not have calves without conception, ewes do not have lambs, and they have to punish shields, and their income is even lower. What makes the officials worse is that not only do their own work problems, but others do not do their job well, but also have to accompany them with the armor and shields.

‘The official husband has two armors, and the chief has one armor; the official husband has one armor, and the chief has one shield.’ One armor has one thousand three hundred and forty-four cents. If the official husband has two armors, the county magistrate and the county magistrate must also have one armor; the official husband has one armor, and the county magistrate will have one shield.

‘The garden hall is a rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the

‘Zang (Zang) leather slapped (worm) and the magistrate was a soldier.’ The leather in stock was bitten by the worm, and the magistrate was a soldier.’ The leather was bitten by the worm, and the magistrate was a soldier.

‘If you don’t report to the army,…, orders, lieutenants, and lieutenants cannot get a single armor of money.’ Those who should not receive military rations in the army receive military rations. If the county magistrate, county lieutenants, and lieutenants do not find out, they will have a single armor of money;

The officials were already low in their age, but they were punished very frequently, and they were repeatedly punished. The consequences of the punishment were mostly the armor and the shield. The county magistrate who was 600 stones a year and the thirteenth deputy armored family would drink the northwest wind. Drinking the northwest wind was the county magistrate’s own business. If he could not redeem these armored shields, he would have to pay off his debts. Eat himself eight cents a day and six cents a day in the government until he paid it back.
