Is the Lang official three hundred stones or the Beijing official, and the Supervisor is only a county official.

The fifth reunion does not have to bow to the supervisor at all, but just bow to the flat ceremony. Instead, Ma Yuan had to get up and go to the hall to meet him.

When he saw Ma Yuan's appearance, Di Wulun couldn't help but take a few more glances.

This supervisor was tall, at least seven feet and five inches tall, and in his thirties, with dark hair and picturesque eyebrows and eyes.

Ma Yuan is the most handsome person the fifth Lun has ever seen in this life... I just don’t know if there are any sisters in his family?

Ma Yunyou was also observing the fifth reunion. He stared at him for a while before smiling and said, "I am so arrogant that I am worthy of being the 'Fifth Rear Xiaoyi'."

It seems that the reputation I had gained was quite useful. The fifth reunion coughed lightly and said, "Ma Duyou, my great father just now..."

Ma Yuan waved his hand: "The matter has been found out."

He said: "It is indeed the Xianyu concubine who was not recorded in the past. The Your family sent pears instead of money. After all, nearly half of the Luyou family in the county had had invasions and profits with Xianyubao, and it is common to remember one or two mistakes."

This was something that the fifth reunion did not expect. He had just made a special trip to record some cases of the Spring and Autumn Prison Resolution and wanted to argue with Ma Yuan, but it ended before it even started?

The fifth reun immediately understood that since Ma Yuan could send someone to summon the fifth domineering to ask questions, it showed that the evidence was sufficient. As for whether it was conclusive or not, whether it was to be exposed to the Wuwei Siming, it was actually just a matter of the Supervisor's thought.

Ma Yuan chose to help him, which made the fifth reunion full of doubts.

Ma Yuan also saw it, blocked his left and right and said, "Boyu is thinking, why should I stop chasing your family and ask for help?"

"Didn't the Inspector say that my family didn't invite me?"

Wu Lun was worried that Ma Yuan did it on purpose, just to make things difficult for him.

Ma Yuan sighed: "If you are so careful, then Boyu will be famous and it is too boring."

Wu Lun spread his hands and smiled: "I am a Langguan, and my rank and salary are greater than that of the Supervisor."

"But with Ma Zhi's family background, a family of 6,000 stones would not be worthy of this mere 300 stones."

After saying that, he saw Ma Yuan laughing and not answering. He wouldn't have to use himself to gain fame like Yuan She and Wan Xiu?

But this style is not very similar. After pondering on the fifth reunion, he thought that when he heard Jing Dan mention it outside, Ma Yuan repeatedly refused to enlist in the imperial court, and was even more determined than him. It would be fine if the Imperial College did not advance, and even the Langguan refused to do it. Could it be that he was dissatisfied with this dynasty?

In addition, he remembered that this person's title of "General Fu Bo Ma Yuan", probably was not from the New Dynasty, and he might also be a potential thief.

After the fifth reunion changed his mind, he also planned to test Ma Yuan, so he told a story.

"I'm in Chang'an, I've heard about Sun Bao, the former Jingzhao Yin of the dynasty, and I remember one sentence."

Wu Lun whispered: "The jackal is crossing the road, so it is not advisable to ask the fox again!"

"What a fox! If your family is a fox, who is a jackal?"

Ma Yuan's expression, which originally felt boring, immediately became exciting again.

The fifth reunion was unlucky and said with a smile: "The Supervisor thought I was talking about nothing but praise."

Ma Yuan was satisfied, but his personality was like this. Meeting and talking to the fifth reunion was like drinking together. The wine entered his throat and intestines. He was over, and he didn't say much, but waved his hand to chase the fifth reunion.

"Can't say anything more. Let's leave quickly. If you don't leave, I'm afraid I'll arrest you!"

...

"I actually owe Ma Yuan a favor first."

After walking out of the county temple, Di Wu Ren breathed a sigh of relief. At least this matter was safe. He immediately went to announce the good news to Di Wu, Jing Dan and others who were waiting outside, but heard a burst of crying again.

Looking back, it was Xianyu Bao's family. During his time as the county magistrate, he lived in the backyard of a large county temple and enjoyed the treatment of a monarch. Now, under the pressure of officials, he was driven out of the county temple.

After the family matters, the fifth relationship can take care of others. What is the crime of accepting bribes?

It was still the same Zuo Fengyi and Xue Xuan who persuaded his subordinates not to go home to hold his wife and children on holidays.

When Xue Xuan was in office, Chi Yang of this county ordered the prison officer to be a clean official. Before Xue Xuan had time to recruit him, someone reported that the prison officer had accepted bribes from the prisoner's family.

This can also be a good person? Xue Xuan was furious and asked the supervisor to conduct a thorough investigation. Finally, he found that the wife of the prison officer collected the money, totaling 16,000 yuan, but the prison officer was not aware of it.

But even so, the prisoner was still disqualified from his qualifications as an honest official for the crime of "furniture receiving". Under the dual pressure of public opinion and law, the prisoner was ashamed to commit suicide.

If they do not commit suicide, they may not only lose their official position, but also both the couple will be flogged.

But there are more than just this number of people who are not worthy of the praise. If the investigation is strictly carried out, the serious ones will be abandoned and the house will be confiscated. His family will most likely become officials and slaves.

From this we can see that whether it is the Han Dynasty or the Xin Dynasty, the punishment for corruption and bribery is still strong. But as the fifth reunion saw, there were only a few people in the county, including Zhang Zhan, Jing Dan, etc., and the rest regarded bribery as common. Until Wang Mang suddenly came, he suddenly exploded.

What Di Wu Ren even unexpectedly was that as a representative of the honest officials of this county, Jing Dan actually sympathized with Xian Yubao, a corrupt official.

Wu Ba and others went home, and Di Wu Lun still had to stay in the city to watch the future. He still stopped at Jing Dan's house. After entering the door, Jing Dan sighed and said, "It's not entirely a matter of Xianyu Bao."

"In this dynasty, officials from poor families will not be able to survive if they do not receive bribes."

Speaking of the days I experienced personally, Jing Dan's words were bitter: "From the second year of the founding of the country, until June of the previous year, it was a full six and a half years. The emperor took the grounds that "the production was not determined and the country was insufficient." From the Duke and the Duke to the Minor, no salary was received."

What, Wang Mang doesn’t even pay his salary?

Wulun almost spit out a sip of water, and only one word flashed through his mind.

"Use... use love to generate electricity?"

...

"During the former Han Dynasty, the salary of the officials was low for the military, and the salary of the minor officials was originally low."

No matter which dynasty, grassroots workers were not easy to mess with. The salaries of officials from the Western Han Dynasty, from the Sangong, who was known as ten thousand stones to the fighting officials under 10,000 stones in the county, were more than 20 levels. The more they went to the grassroots, the thinner the salary. It was difficult for minor officials to support their families with meager salary and had to do the most tiring work, so local government affairs were naturally slack.

During the reign of Emperor Xuan of Han, in order to solve the problem of insufficient income for minor officials, he also increased his salary by less than 100 stones, an increase of up to 50%.

But when we arrived in Xinchao, we drove back.

After Jing Dan explained carefully, Di Wulun realized that the officials in Xinmang were not all using love to generate electricity. In order not to starve them to death, the court would still send something.

From the ministers and ministers, officials have one piece of silk every month, while officials have one or two pieces of linen. If they are exchanged for money and food, they can barely live for three to eight people, and no matter how many more they are, they will not be able to do so.

Jing Dan said: "The salary of the former Han Dynasty is more than half lower than that of the former Han Dynasty. The officials in the world are full of complaints. I still have a few hectares of land for rent in my hometown. It is difficult for small officials who have food and clothing but no land. Some people, as Cao's servant, have no quilt in October and lie on the wormwood bundle at night. How miserable."

"Some of them even have a city attached to the city, and are the marquis of Guannei, but because their salary is not enough to support their families, they serve as mediocre security in Chang'an City."

As a result, more and more incidents of fishing invasions are happening.

"The township officials have a poor position. Since they cannot be given the chariots, horses and clothes, they will be taken from the people below. Those who only accept bribes to enough are already good officials, but evil officials who are greedy will peel off their skin and marrow, regardless of the lives and death of the people."

As for colluding with local tyrants to make profits and increase production, countless people have colluded with them.

Six years passed like this, until the third year of Tianfeng (16 AD), and Wang Mang finally remembered, Oh, it’s time to pay salaries to officials all over the world!

Jing Dan still remembered the joy of the officials at that time and said with a smile: "Your Majesty said that whenever I think that officials are not allowed to receive salary, I am always worried about it. Now the most difficult time has passed. Although the treasury is still not sufficient, I can barely get salary. So starting from the first day of June of the third year of Tianfeng, the salary of officials is the same as the system."

"The four auxiliary officials, ministers, officials, scholars, and officials, and officials, have a total salary of fifteen. The lowest-level auxiliary officials have a 66-stone grain per year, and the difference is slightly higher, from the four auxiliary officials to tens of thousands of stones."

It turns out that salary does not necessarily match the rank.

After Wu Lun became an official, he had not received his salary for the first month, so he didn't have enough ideas about this, so he asked, "Is there more or less than the former Han Dynasty?"

It is related to the job, Jing Dan can calculate it clearly: "After Emperor Xuan of the former Han Dynasty, the monthly salary of officials was eight stones, while the monthly salary of officials in this dynasty was six stones. As officials of 300 stones, if we were in the previous dynasty, the monthly salary of the officials was forty stones, and today it was thirty-eight and a half stones."

It would be fine if the issuance was stopped for six and a half years and there was no compensation, but it was less than the previous dynasty. Xinmang was simply a desperate person. The fifth reunion had been a social animal. If the boss of a company did this, you can imagine how much resentment the lower-level employees would be.

By the way, what about the salary of high-ranking officials?

Jing Dan said: "It has increased. The monthly salary of the former prime minister, the censor, and the Grand Marshal were 350 stones. The four auxiliary servants of this dynasty had 10,000 stones a year, and the monthly salary was as high as more than 800 stones!"

Sure enough, it’s a pity that Wang Mang doesn’t open a company.

Jing Dan also said: "In addition, the number of officials in the world is more than 2,000 stones. Those who retire in old age can still receive one-third of their original salary until they die."

Is this...pension?

Although the salary of the lower-level officials has not increased but decreased, it is better than the most difficult six years, right? What is issued is not the strange currency that has been abolished one day due to depreciation, but the real food, at least it can make a living, right?

However, it is not...

Jing Dan was angry when he said this: "We are still too happy too early, and there was another edict together."

"All the kings under the heavens are kings; all the guests who lead the earth are kings and ministers. All the officials are supported by the people. It is said that during the three generations, the saints all encountered a good harvest and increased their salary, and when they encountered a poor harvest, they were reduced. Therefore, the salary of this dynasty may not die. If the year is better and the people's harvest is sufficient, they will be more. If the year is not good, the people's harvest is less, they will be less. This is called sharing the worries and joys with the people."

It sounds good. I set up KPIs and performance for officials, which are full of creativity, but the fifth reunion smiles a little ugly. Wang Mang, Wang Mang, you can always surprise people.

Wang Mang was indeed doing this seriously. According to Jing Dan, the court also formulated a meticulous distribution: Tai Shi, the general of the founding country protected the three states and one part and twenty-five counties in the east; Tai Fu, the former general protected the two states and one part and twenty-five counties in the south; the national teacher, General Ning Shi, the one part and two states and twenty-five counties in the west; General Wei, General Wei, protects the two states and one part and twenty-five counties in the north.

"The one who is in charge of our ranks of Wei County is the Grand Sikong. As for the Six Si and Six Ministers, they all follow the disasters of their county and county, and according to the annual harvest and tax, they lose their salaries."

This is... a hook? The fifth Lun touched his chin and told himself that it was time to get used to it. Don't be surprised no matter what Wang Mang did.

"The emperor's original intention may be to hope that the officials of this dynasty will work together to persuade the agriculture, and An Yuanyuanyan is just..."

Jing Dan shook his head: "In the third year of Tianfeng, four years, two consecutive years, the floods and droughts of prefectures and counties were unpredictable. Especially Liewei County, the Jingshui Yongshu, changed the way north of Changpingguan, causing a major disaster. That year, the tax revenue of this county was reduced by half, so from the county magistrate to the county magistrate and even our minor officials, all of them were half!"

Then Di Wulun learned that as a Langguan, his salary must be added to profit and loss based on the reserves of Taiguan's warehouse. According to the national harvest last year, the first monthly salary would be reduced by half, so he couldn't help but greet Wang Mang in his heart and said xxx.

Jing Dan finally said: "It is a natural disaster. Officials have a recurrence in their illness due to insufficient salary. They are all traitors because of their official positions and are responsible for their own supply. It is only one of them. However, he only received some small bribes. He is still diligent in governing the county, but he is a capable official."

After listening to Jing Dan’s narrative, the fifth relationship was straightened out.

Wang Mang really wanted to take officials all over the world to be a saint with him. He advocated simplicity and called on everyone to wear shabby clothes and patch them, and then tried to fight corruption. Perhaps in addition to cutting off corrupt officials and tyrants to supplement the treasury, he also hoped to eliminate corruption with severe and cruel laws?

"I want the horse to run, and I want the horse to not eat grass."

The fifth reunion shook his head. Corruption is of course a great evil [     ], but the national conditions of Xinmang are like this. At least half of the corrupt officials were forced out by this strange salary system.
To be continued...
