Chapter 234 Ye Xuan’S Anti-Corruption Policy, The Whistleblower Is Not Guilty!
Chapter 234 Ye Xuan’s anti-corruption policy, the whistleblower is not guilty!
Ye Xuan was funded by Shen Wansan.
The salary will not have any impact on his daily life.
But other officials have no choice.
Life is tight.
You have to be careful about everything including firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, etc.
Even in order to make a living, one can only commit corruption.
"If the official's salary is too low."
"Even the basic needs of life cannot be met.
"Then what else can they do?"
"It can only be forced by reality."
"Go greedy."
"Therefore, 'high salary supports integrity'
"Provide support."
"This is a good way to reduce corruption."
Ye Xuan said.
The emperors and grandchildren nodded frequently.
Agree with what Ye Xuan said.
"Teacher, what is Yanglianjin?"
Zhu Gaoxu is keen to discover problems and ask questions.
Ye Xuan looked at him appreciatively.
"That's a good question."
"The anti-corruption fund means that in addition to the regular salary, officials are given a certain amount of silver as work and living allowance according to their grade."
"Let them have the economic power that matches their status."
“To maintain integrity and integrity.
"Put an end to corruption and bribery."
"Private the king's law and so on."
"As early as the Tang and Song dynasties, there was a practice of providing officials with integrity funds."
Ye Xuan said and stopped.
Although in the Tang and Song Dynasties, there was a practice of providing officials with integrity funds.
But on and off.
It is not fixed or institutionalized.
With the change of dynasties.
It was only during the Yongzheng Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty that the system was formed and became a basically fixed income for local officials at all levels.
"However, raising money for integrity is just a temporary measure."
"It can only be used temporarily."
"It can't be guaranteed forever."
"In addition, strict criminal laws should be established.
"Whoever dares to commit corruption will be punished.
"Use the law to deter corrupt officials."
Ye Xuan made the second proposal.
Zhu Yuanzhang did this very well.
Zhu Yuanzhang was born in poverty.
He suffered a lot from the corrupt officials of the Yuan Dynasty.
His parents and brothers all died of famine because corrupt officials withheld the relief grain that was supposed to be distributed.
It was precisely because of this tragic experience in his early years that Zhu Yuanzhang hated corrupt officials and hated corruption.
After becoming emperor.
Zhu Yuanzhang even vigorously rectified the anti-corruption trend.
There is zero tolerance for corruption.
At that time, the rule of the Yuan Dynasty failed and corruption problems continued to expand.
Officials only know how to make money through corruption.
Extortion.
Brutalizing the people.
The country and its people are in dire straits.
turbulent.
These problems left over from the Yuan Dynasty directly affected the Ming Dynasty.
In the early days of the Ming Dynasty, due to the greed of officials of the Yuan Dynasty, they faced poverty.
In this case, if corruption is not dealt with vigorously.
It is difficult for the country to solve poverty.
It is even more difficult to sustain development and continuation.
Therefore, when Zhu Yuanzhang came to power, he launched the largest and most severe anti-corruption campaign in history.
The finger points at corrupt officials at all levels from central to local levels.
Zhu Yuanzhang was unprecedentedly cruel to corrupt officials.
Every criminal law is terrible.
A record of all kinds of Chinese history.
1. Create the most stringent sentencing standards.
Embezzling sixty taels of silver is a death sentence.
He accepted a hundred and twenty bribes and was directly sent to the army.
Second, create and use a variety of cruel punishments.
Lingchi was executed.
Pick a muscle.
Cut off hands and feet, etc.
He also invented the torture method of peeling off skin and stuffing grass.
These criminal laws are simply appalling.
Zhu Yuanzhang's anti-corruption campaign lasted for more than thirty years.
Major cases such as the Guo Huan case and the Kongyin case were uncovered during Zhu Yuanzhang's anti-corruption campaign.
In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang also encouraged the people to fight against corruption.
People can take corrupt officials to the capital and punish them.
This comes from the "Great Edict" issued in 1385 in history, which was the eighteenth year of Hongwu.
"Da Gao" stipulates:
From now on, if any serving or unemployed officials at the Chief Secretary, Prefecture, Prefecture, and County level dare to "manipulate lawsuits, instigate crimes, frame others, collude with the government, and endanger the state," local virtuous, upright, and heroic people can arrest these people. , sent to the capital.
If officials at all levels dare to "intercept" interviews, they will be punished with the serious crime of confiscating their homes and exterminating their clans.
In the thousands of years of history of the ancient feudal dynasty, only the government could arrest people at will, but it was the first time in history that the people were given the power to arrest corrupt officials.
Later, Zhu Yuanzhang established supervisory agencies at the court and local levels.
Supervise officials at central and local levels.
Zhu Yuanzhang also formulated various laws and regulations covering all aspects to fight corruption.
Incredibly detailed.
The "Instructions for Appointment and Appointment" lists 31 tasks that local officials need to undertake.
This makes it difficult for officials to neglect their duties.
In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang also compiled the "Six Departments in Charge" and the "Regulations on Responsibilities", and superiors assessed subordinates in accordance with the rules.
Used to inspect officials.
The complete supervision system is gradually improving.
…………Please give me flowers………………
However, these will all happen in the future. At present, it is not known whether "Da Gao" is being written or not yet written, and supervisory agencies at all levels have not appeared.
Various legal regulations have not yet appeared.
Zhu Yuanzhang adopted this harsh criminal law, which can certainly deter officials.
But it's a bit harsh.
If an official embezzles more than sixty taels of silver, he will be punished by death.
If more than sixty taels were converted into modern money, it would be 40,000 to 50,000 yuan.
Forty to fifty thousand lives.
Really shocking.
Precisely because these criminal laws are too harsh, these corrupt officials believe that if they are greedy for a few dozen taels, they will die, and if they are greedy for more, they will be killed. So why not be more greedy.
Under this kind of thinking, these officials will become greedy more and more.
Ye Xuan believes that a reasonable sentencing range should be set.
For example, if the amount is less than one hundred taels, you will be dismissed from your post, investigated, and fined silver.
00
One hundred taels to one thousand taels, and sent to jail for several years.
The amount of Tanmo reached a certain amount.
This is the death penalty.
“I think the current standards of criminal law are a bit strict.
"I think I can relax a little bit."
Ye Xuan stated the sentencing standards he envisioned.
The emperor's grandson frowned.
They - take note.
Ye Xuan said:
"Third suggestion."
"Those who report corrupt officials will be heavily rewarded."
"Even the whistleblower can be innocent."
The emperor and his grandchildren were stunned.
Those who report corrupt officials are rewarded heavily, which they cannot understand.
Is the whistleblower not guilty?
What the hell is this?
Why is the whistleblower guilty?
Is it inherently sinful to report corrupt officials?
"Teacher, what does the second sentence mean?"
the little dumplings asked.
"When I say that the whistleblower is not guilty, I mean that if someone pays a bribe to an official and later feels that the matter is inappropriate, he or she can report it to the government."
"In this way, the briber will not be held responsible, but the bribe taker will be guilty."
"In this way, accepting bribes is risky."
"Even if an official wants to accept a bribe, he must be wary of whether the other party wants to frame him or is afraid of accepting a bribe."
"The briber can be exempted from liability because he has found his way back."
"On the contrary, if someone bribes an official, and the official feels it is inappropriate and reports it to the superior, the briber will be punished, while the official can have a reduced penalty or even be innocent.
"Of course, everything must be based on facts."
"Make adjustments according to various situations."
