Today I read "What Things in the Ming Dynasty" Zhu Yuanzhang The salary income of officials during the period was a bit interesting for officials' corruption at that time.
1. Officials have low income and spend a lot, which breeds corruption.
The income of officials at that time was very low. The salary of ordinary county-level officials was only 7.5 dan of meters, which was not all rice. It also included some silver notes . The silver notes were also very inflationary and had a very low income. We were also surprised to see this income. How can we survive this income?
In this case, in addition to their own food and clothing, officials will have more people around him, and naturally they will spend more.
naturally made many officials have bad intentions and put a guise of corruption.
2. The corruption method is very special. "Collect the color and fire consumption, and the tip of the swelling tip kicking" is interesting.
Fold the color and fire consumption is a bit like cleaning gold and silver jewelry. There is something left in it, and the loss and loss are included. This is what is called making money. The loss of
is indeed difficult to control, which naturally brings gray income.

The entire early officials were filled with such a gray income chain.
3. Although it is turbid, it is clean and honest
, in such a social environment and in such a bad official atmosphere, there are still a certain number of officials with clean and upright style. For example, Hai Rui , Wu Lin, etc. are all clean officials and have been praised by future generations.
Wu Lin even cultivated herself after retirement. When an official came to check him and asked about his way home, the old man in Tanaka turned out to be Wu Lin himself, not like a retired senior official at all.
The honest officials are left in history, while corrupt officials have been infamous for thousands of years!
