Valley Emperor

Vol 2 Chapter 1307: Is it all corrupt officials?

Valley Emperor

This person succeeded Ji Lingda as the Daoist of Jiangbei Province for only half a year, but he was impeached for major corruption problems, and he was connected with the corruption case of the Hongze Lake expansion project.

Although it is said that no compulsory measures have been taken yet, in fact, he has been ordered to return to Beijing to report his duties, but after returning to Beijing, the Son of Heaven has never summoned him, but left him in the official inn, um, under house arrest kind of!

Nowadays, the inspectorate sends a special team to Jiangbei, just to better collect Xie Guanglin's detailed criminal evidence, and then, with the cooperation of the local inspectorate, continue to clean up Jiangbei's officialdom. The corruption in the local area is too serious. Once, and again this year, the Ministry of Personnel has already suspended promotions and transfers for officials currently serving in Jiangbei and those who have served in Jiangbei.

In addition, the task force has another task, which is to clear the local inspectorate organization by the way!

Since there have been two consecutive large-scale corruption in the local administrative agencies in Jiangbei, if there is no problem with the inspectorate, it is estimated that few people will believe it.

The task of the task force is only in Jiangbei Road, but in Li Xuan's view, Jiangbei is just an introduction!

This time, Li Xuan is going to kill a big one, at least 20 or 30 high-ranking officials from the third rank and above. As for who it is, it depends on the situation!

This depends on the situation, not on who is guilty, but on who is more suitable to kill

Because Li Xuan knew from Hantong's report for a long time that all the officials in the empire who were from the third rank and above, and the military generals above the major general, one counted as one, regardless of whether it was Liu Bagou, the cabinet chief, or Hao Bainian, the army general!

Is it all a corrupt official!

The difference is only in the method and amount of corruption!

Among them, Liu Bagou's situation is relatively good. According to Hantong's report, this person has not directly accepted bribes, nor has he asked for bribes. He only occasionally has political status to provide some convenience for his family's business, and the benefits obtained are also Not too big.

With Liu Bagou's political status and the convenience of his position to provide a little convenience for his family's business and gain some business interests, it can be said that he is already very clean.

This is also the reason why Li Xuan continued to reuse Liu Bagou as if he hadn't seen such a thing.

For others, the situation is generally more serious. For example, Qian Yuli, the Minister of Taxation, although his work ability in all aspects is very good, he often blames Li Xuan, but the means of accumulating money are also unusual. The clansmen obtained a lot of economic benefits by doing business.

However, considering that Qian Yuli has carried a lot of blame for Li Xuan over the years, and the work efficiency of the tax department under his leadership has become more and more efficient, Li Xuan still values ​​him, and more importantly, he did not directly accept it. Bribery, like Liu Bagou, does business directly through the clan, and provides some conveniences and profits under certain circumstances, but the amount of profit is relatively large.

Most of the high-level officials of the empire, especially the core high-level officials above the second grade, are actually the same as Liu Bagou and Qian Yuli. They are politically sensitive in high positions, and usually do not accept bribes directly. Family members are also not allowed to receive bribes indirectly. They generally let their family members do business and occasionally provide some convenience.

Well, in fact, even if they don't take the initiative to provide convenience, but when the clansmen of these executives are doing business outside, they are backed by a big tree, and everyone will give them face. Many times, they open a bag company casually, and there is a Huge crowds of people lined up to deliver orders!

This method is relatively obscure, and the political influence is not so bad. Over the years, Li Xuan has also turned a blind eye. After all, these people are old officials who followed him to fight the country.

Now that the country has been conquered, they are powerful and powerful, and naturally they want to enjoy material things. Although their salary is not small, their clansmen have become more and more in recent years, and their pomp is also getting bigger and bigger. However, it is already difficult for them to maintain a decent life for the big family. By subsidizing their living through business, Li Xuan will not go too deep into this matter.

Of course, if it is handled strictly in accordance with the law, all of them can be pulled out and shot, because these behaviors of theirs are very obvious use of their positions to seek personal gain, which is explicitly prohibited by imperial law.

It's just that if all of them are killed, only Li Xuan will be left in the huge Tang Empire!

In addition, most people are still relatively restrained and know how to accept it when it is good.

Of course, there are also a few people who have done too much, and Li Xuan has already listed the list of these people, and let Hantong collect more evidence. At that time, these high-ranking officials of the second rank will be Li Xuan was going to pull out the chickens that were killing the chickens to warn the monkeys.

Relatively speaking, in fact, the corruption of second-rank senior officials is not too serious. Among the senior officials, the most serious corruption occurs at the two levels of middle and senior officials from third-rank and lower third-rank officials, and it is widely concentrated in On older officials.

Because of these middle and senior officials, they have real power, and many of them are local officials. In the capital, an official of the third grade is nothing at all, but if it is local, then it is a Taoist member or provincial governor. Such a big member, with great real power.

According to the current situation Li Xuan has grasped, the most serious corrupt are generally the deputy positions, such as the provincial governors, the inspectors, and the tongzhi and county magistrates in the prefectures and counties.

In addition, another major feature is that it appears on older officials!

Li Xuan had read many secret reports from Hantong and found that most of the corruption of officials occurred at the age of 40 and above, and reached a peak around the age of 50.

There are many reasons for this. Part of it is that after people reach middle age, family life is under great pressure, and there is often a big family behind these officials who need to be supported.

Another important reason is that these older officials are very unlikely to continue to move up the ranks, and many officials have basically ended their careers.

Because the Datang Empire has a clear age limit, that is, from the second rank and above, it is sixty-five years old, and from the second rank and below, it is sixty years old.

However, in the Tang Dynasty, there was usually a rule for the promotion of officials, that is, after three years of office, only those who were evaluated as excellent can be promoted. Of course, this rule only applies to ordinary officials, and officials who are listed as key training by the Ministry of Personnel will be promoted. There will be a separate training process.

At present, according to the latest imperial examinations and official system, the grades of new scholars and doctors are already very low.

If you participate in the Jinling examination, the first grade of Jinshi, Ph.D., bachelor, and French will be awarded the eighth grade, the second grade will be awarded the eighth grade, and the third grade will be awarded the ninth grade. There are only seven people in the top two, and more than a hundred people in the top three.

If participating in the provincial examinations, the first grade is awarded the eighth grade, the second grade is awarded the ninth grade, and the third grade is awarded the ninth grade. It is adjusted according to the actual situation, ranging from hundreds of people to hundreds of people.

With so many scholars participating in the imperial examination every year, only a dozen or so people from the fourth division can enter official positions with the eighth rank, only a few dozen with the eighth rank, and only two or three hundred people with the ninth rank. The rest are all from the nine grades.

This also means that if an ordinary official starts from the ninth rank at the beginning, if he follows the normal path, even if it is very smooth, he will not have the chance to become a second-rank official after three years of promotion.

The high-ranking officials of the empire are often based on the key training list formulated by the Ministry of Personnel. The local personnel department is responsible for focusing on training officials of the fifth rank, while the central personnel department is responsible for the training of officials from the fourth rank and above, as for the training of officials from the third rank. , Basically, you need to enter Li Xuan's training list to have hope.

For those officials who are on the training list, they often achieve rapid promotion through frequent transfers and accumulate more work experience, or hold important jobs. After performing well, they are promoted exceptionally and no longer follow the traditional three-year term. An example of promotion.

The most typical example of this is Chen Lifu. As a key talent training person who has been named by His Majesty, all the positions he has held are important positions. Although it seems that he has not been promoted in recent years, no one has ever been promoted. I know, even Chen Lifu himself knows that the above deliberately let him serve as a county magistrate in Shanghai. This tempering is also an inspection.

Once the boss is satisfied, when the term expires, it will soar quickly.

Otherwise, why did Chen Lifu work so hard to engage in the North Shore Industrial Zone? Does he expect to do some big projects to make money from it? All of this is for political achievements.

However, there are still relatively few officials who are valued by Chen Lifu~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Most of the officials actually have to endure hardships, and most of them are often useless.

Especially for many officials in their fifties, generally speaking, their careers are basically over. At most, they move up one level, and this kind of promotion is often an arrangement of idle positions. To put it bluntly, it is to let them go to work. Retirement in previous years.

Under such circumstances, they would often unscrupulously start making big profits, taking advantage of the convenience of their positions to make profits for their clansmen. This is all pediatrics, and there are not a few people who directly ask for money.

And these people are also the targets that Li Xuan plans to focus on this time!

On the one hand, the number of these people is relatively large, and the grades are relatively high. The third and fourth grades can catch a lot of them. The high grades have great influence, and the effect of killing chickens and monkeys is also relatively good.

In addition, these people are too old, and they have almost been arranged for retirement, and removing them in advance can just make room for the young people below, and it will not affect the operation of the official institutions of the empire.

Then these people generally made a lot of money, just ransacked their homes and confiscated their property, supplementing the huge amount of money that the empire lost due to a flood and the huge infrastructure in the next few years.

Faced with the situation that all officials are corrupt, what kind of corrupt officials should be used to start with, Li Xuan has carefully considered, definitely not saying that if he sees a corrupt official, he will arrest him, but he must consider from many aspects!

To deter the effect well, and avoid the turmoil of the empire, but also bring some other benefits!

Corrupt officials who meet the above three conditions are Li Xuan's key targets this time!
