Chapter 470 Official Support Bandit (1)

When Tan Daoji stepped into the house in Li County again, he was arrested by the officers and soldiers who had been ambushed for several days around him. When he saw the two cousins ​​kneeling on the ground in the county government, he immediately learned that the truth was revealed. However, the calmness that Tan Daoji showed still surprised the adults in the hall.

"Sir, can you talk with me?"

"The bold madman dares to openly bribe my official. If someone comes, he will take the lead and fight the twenty-killing sticks first."

"The villain just asked the servant to go to the mansion to send a regular sum of money to his wife. I think it should be here at this time."

(There was a big problem with the salary system in the Song Dynasty, which was that the income gap between senior officials and low-level officials was too large. The income of prefectures and county-level officials in the Song Dynasty was relatively low. Taking the Jiayou Lu Ling as an example, the highest-ranking Jieduan had a capital of 400,000 yuan, and the lowest-ranking eunuch Ying and the Tang Fuzhou were only 3,000 yuan, and the gap was very obvious. Overall, the income of officials above the fifth rank in the Song Dynasty was very high, but the income of those below the fifth rank was relatively low. Officials below the fifth rank accounted for more than four-fifths of the entire official team, so most of the entire Song Dynasty officials were actually low. The so-called "common money" is the semi-public gift money in the officialdom, and its nature was the same as the "common money" in the Yuan and Ming dynasties and the "bad rules" in the Qing Dynasty.)

Tan Daoji was originally a businessman who was good at engaging in the military law and was even more familiar with the loopholes of the Wei Dynasty than the magistrate in the hall. After almost a stick of incense, the magistrate who returned from the inner hall to the lobby immediately changed into another face. It can be seen that Tan Daoji made great efforts this time.

"There is impermanence in the matter, there must be grievances. The person who came to take these two bastards into prison and put them in prison and retrial the next day. As for the defendant, you must not leave the county government until the matter is clear in the past few days. Can the plaintiff have any objection?"

The old butler was waiting to see a lively and exasperate his anger. When the farce ended so bleak, he was already cold. Once the case could not be handled in court, the matter of colluding with enemies and selling the country was big or small, and you could not count a single document, not to mention that it was not the person involved who wrote it himself. The old butler knew that there was no turning point at this point, and had already left in a daze. He threw himself into the well that night when he returned home. As for whether he killed or committed suicide, no one cared about this anymore.

As for the cousins ​​of the men, Tan Daoji had originally accepted their love and could not bear to kill them. Now he realized that the woman's kindness had almost harmed him. The magistrate knew at a glance that it was not a good product. Now he had caught his own handle. Tan Daoji did not do it and directly bribed the officials of the Imperial Department and the prison guards below. He gave the ecstasy medicine in the meals of the men's brothers, and executed the two of them in prison that night.

(The local administrative regions in the Song Dynasty were divided into three levels, the highest level was called the road, the intermediate level was the prefecture, prefecture, military, supervisor, and subordinate level was the county (including some county-level military and supervisor). Unlike other dynasties, the highest rulers of the Song Dynasty received the lesson of being destroyed by Fangzhen in the Tang Dynasty. They did not set up unified supreme officials in the local traits, but implemented the strategy of decentralization and governance. They set up the General Pacification Envoy Department in various traits, with civil officials serving as General Pacification Envoys, in charge of military and political affairs of the whole line and also served as the prefecture and prefecture of the prefecture, which is commonly called the "Supervisor". They also set up the Transport Envoy Department, responsible for the transportation, supervision and other affairs. They are also called the "Supervisor". , customarily called "Caosi". This situation continued until the reign of Emperor Zhenzong, and a lieutenant criminal prison was set up in various fields, and civil officials were sent, or civil officials and military officials were sent to jointly manage local criminal prison affairs, which was commonly called "Canton Secretary". After Wang Anshi's reform began, in order to ensure the implementation of the new law, the lieutenant Changping Secretary was set up in various fields, which was in charge of warehousing, transportation, relief and other affairs, which was commonly called "Cangsi" or "Yu Si". By the Huizong Dynasty, the apparent wealth and harmony made the superiors and subordinates mistakenly think that the dynasty had reached a heyday, so they set up the ranks of academic affairs departments in various fields to be in charge of the matter of promoting education.

In principle, the chiefs of the department in the road shall perform their duties, and there is no distinction between the master and the subordinate. In other words, the military and civil affairs shall be managed by the civil affairs of the road, and there is no need to transfer the troops, and the criminal prison and the supervisor intervene; the chiefs of the department shall not ask much about the matter of the grain transportation along the way; the supervisors of the court shall also be managed by the criminal prison, and the other departments shall know at best, and the disposal power shall be only in the Constitutional Department. Of course, when there is a major incident, the chiefs of the department shall handle it together, which is an individual situation. This setting has caused the chiefs of the department in the road to be the highest officials in the field, and at the same time, they are not

It is the highest commander who monopolizes the power. The affairs of each department are directly responsible to the central government. If there is a problem, it will be asked which chief officer is asked. This strategy of the rulers of the Song Dynasty really effectively avoided the disadvantages of the ability of the Tang Dynasty's Jiedushi to be able to separatist one side and compete with the central government. However, no system can be perfect. While separating the throne, it also caused the shortcomings of shirking responsibility, unclear responsibilities, and inefficiency of the various departments. If the Tang Dynasty was destroyed by separatist vassal states, then the Song Dynasty was ultimately destroyed by the cumbersome mechanism.)

Tan Daoji knew that this matter was far from over. When the magistrate visited the mansion in a paradise the next day, he knew that his trouble had finally come. His former disciple only belonged to a candy that could not be removed, and the magistrate was a completely blood-sucking worm.

"I heard that Brother Daoji has a good fortune in business. I, a poor magistrate, have not been able to catch up with a small official in Chengdu Prefecture over the years. I heard that this person's land and property are across Lianzhou and county, and he collects classes and rents more than 100,000 stones a year. He is the first place in Wu County. I wonder if Brother Daoji can tell you about the way to make money?"

(The central government's clerks only give extremely meager salary, while the local prefectures and county officials simply "unconstant salary" and do not give any remuneration. This is because the Song Dynasty regarded as officials as one of the ways for the people to serve the country, and required them to contribute to the country. The general ratio of officials to officials was 1:20. The state refused to pay salaries to officials, but in fact it was acquiesced to them to eat up the people. The price was the corruption of the bottom of the society. The Song Dynasty government's management and constraints on the clerk group were quite strict, and it stipulated that once the clerks committed a crime, they would be punished with heavy laws, which was several times more severe than the official class. In the early Song Dynasty, the style of prime ministers was relatively good, especially in the early Northern Song Dynasty, senior ministers such as Bao Zheng and Fu Bi were able to "take the world as their responsibility", and there were very few corruption and abuse of power, and those clerks did not dare to do anything randomly. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the emperors, especially Song Huizong, took the lead in destroying a series of good systems in the early Song Dynasty. The Emperors of the Song Dynasty took the lead in destroying a series of good systems in the early Song Dynasty.

The emperor issued an edict that it must be approved by the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice will not be discussed with the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice will be drafted, nor will it be reviewed and reviewed by the Ministry of Justice. Instead, it will be written by himself and delivered directly to the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice will be directly delivered. Song Huizong himself abused the imperial power, greedy for enjoyment, acted arbitrarily, and did a lot of things that cost the people and hurt money. At the same time, under his rule, the constraints on official power were also destroyed. The old system of the Song Dynasty, the prime minister was the first

It is generally not a single person, but a collective composed of political affairs and prime ministers. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Cai Jing was the only prime minister in the history of the Song Dynasty for 13 years and 11 months, becoming the first powerful prime minister in the history of the Song Dynasty. The large-scale corruption in the late Northern Song Dynasty was the arbitrary abuse of power. Song Huizong valued the favored "Six Thieves" such as Cai Jing and Wang Fu, and the "Six Thieves" openly sold their official positions, and each official position was priced, and even the rankings could be obtained through bribery during the imperial examination.)

Tan Daoji sneered and asked quietly: "It's just that this method is too dangerous. If you are not careful, you may be deeply trapped in the mud and bear the infamy for a lifetime. I wonder if you dare to take this risk?"

The magistrate asked anxiously: "How much profit will it be?"
