Chapter 1928 The beginning of official administration, living people are called posthumous titles


    『Why were officials so confident in the past? ’ Fei Qian shook his head and said with a smile, ‘Isn’t it because the superior is incompetent? Among the three assistants in Guanzhong, the gentry may not know the key points, but they are still indifferent, and they are using this as a pact to try to blackmail...』


    Is this kind of thing rare in later generations?


    For the big surname of Sanfu in Guanzhong, Fei Qian is not a person of local origin, nor is they a "representative of public opinion" in the past, so it is the same as a boss suddenly parachuted down from a big company in later generations, a low-level person They will always try to measure one or two, and this kind of "measure" does not mean one or two days, nor once or twice, after all, it is until one party is completely subdued.


    Before Fei Qian became a military general, there was no news about the civil servant series. Although he vaguely indicated that he would wait until the end of winter and early spring for the evaluation, but after all, those dazzling positions are very eye-catching, and many people are unavoidable. Feeling that they are so He is so smart and wise, so down-to-earth and hard-working, so outstanding, why is Huqi so blind and didn''t give himself a proper seal?


    Pang Tong nodded and said, "That''s it. If the lord does not handle it properly, these people will have the opportunity to control the place, and then poison the people, just like the old story of Emperor Xiaoling of the Han Dynasty...』


    So these big households with the surname of Sanfu in Guanzhong folded their hands and watched. If Fei Qian can handle it, they have not participated anyway, and the board cannot hit them. If Fei Qian can''t handle it, it will be even better. They You can pat your chest and come out and say, Fei Qian has a noble status, let them do these trivial things for you, and ensure that it can be done beautifully, and then scrape the bottom-level authority into their own pockets little by little, Just like what they did under Han Lingdi before.


    Fei Qian raised his head slightly, as if he was recalling the situation when he was in Luoyang, "In the past, when Emperor Xiaoling was in power, the middle officials went out to inspect the local area. The government is even more harmful to the people. Cleverly set up a name, take it by force, the local ruffian is used as a minion, and the search is violent. What''s more, from Luoyang to Chenggao, the distance is only a hundred miles, and there are more than a dozen people who pass the checkpoint! Passers-by and merchants in the past will be charged road tax! 』


    Pang Tong was also emotional, saying: "Why not! A certain remembers that at that time, each car was charged five tax dollars, three tax dollars on the back, one to bear, and those who passed by with bare hands were unavoidable... Daily tax cards, money in cars, coins in buckets, every day when there is a market, it is a day. Thousands of dollars! This kind of money can only come from where, but has no idea where it is going! 』


    『This is only the tax on licensed goods, and the fee for sitting in the market has not been calculated. If the common people have coarse cloth chickens, ducks, eggs, vegetables, melons and fruits, and want to exchange them for salt money in the market, they will have to pay taxes for everything they buy and sell. Fei Qian chuckled, as if he had thought of something interesting, "If there is little disobedience, it means that he is a gangster, who wantonly plundered, lost all his goods, and his luggage was also searched and destroyed..."


    China has traditions, and they come down in one continuous line.


    Nowadays, Feiqian''s business is getting bigger and bigger, but Feiqian has only collected transaction tax once in the market, and it is only collected from merchants who sell goods. Naturally, many people think that this tax rate is too light. Thousands of floating wealth are rolling in front of your eyes day by day, how can you hold back?


    So it’s not uncommon for people to sneak up and engage in some small tricks. Anyway, as long as they let the big caravan under Fei Qian go there, charge some small money, and subsidize their own pockets, isn’t it too much?


    Is the place also to generate income?


    Then the Feihe incident broke out, and the Senate was asked to designate corruption laws, and Feiqian set up the Zhiyin Supervisor. It seemed that some people wanted to take this opportunity to check the local situation. Turning, fidgeting, and just ran into a locust...


    Then the candidates cheated and made trouble...


    are great opportunities!


    If Fei Qian can''t figure it out, he naturally doesn''t have the heart to check the place, or even if he can figure it out, he will be more or less overwhelmed, so he procrastinates for a while and can clean up his hands, and everything is safe...


    At the same time, if the examination system was suspended because of this riot, it is these big families who are proud of it. Under the procuratorial system, they could not do Shandong in the past, but now they have managed to play on their own. In the end, there was another exam system! Therefore, it would be best if Fei Qian abolished the examination system in a fit of anger and replaced it with the original probation system.


    If these people want to make trouble with Fei Qian sincerely, and take this opportunity to bring down Fei Qian, basically it is not enough, because these people also know that if they leave the signboard of Fei Qian, there may be no other candidates in Shanxi Guanzhong You can have the prestige of Feiqian, and you can hold the scene, but it doesn''t mean that these people won''t make a dozen of their own little calculations under the signboard of Feiqian.


    Fei Qian shook his head and sighed helplessly. People are selfish, this is nature, it is unavoidable, let alone in the Han Dynasty, if you want to be like a game, your subordinates are full of loyalty, if there is a slight drop, you will increase your salary and send a broken bottle or something It can be swiped and pulled up again...


    However, these people did not expect that Fei Qian and Pang Tong would take this opportunity to rectify, so they also watched coldly, waiting for these people to fall into the pit.


    Governing the country, is it really just a matter of giving an order?


    Explain that if the left pocket is poured into the right pocket, the money will not decrease but increase? Let me tell you why the people''s livelihood index will increase by more than a dozen Wallaces immediately after the issuance of the government order to benefit the people?


    『After this time, the government will be changed! ’ Fei Qian patted a large stack of self-reports written by Wei Duan, Du Ji and others on the table, “This is a self-report, and let Wen Shu and Derun first review it before submitting it.” Yu X...」


    『Starting from this, officials from Sanfu in Guanzhong, Hexi in Longyou, Northeast of Hebei, Hanzhong, Sichuan and Shu, and all over the country, all made their own reports to report their duties and administration...』


    Fei Qian said, "Our generation should set the rules for future generations, how can we just hold back the legacy of our ancestors?" The test of government officials should be regarded as a law! 』


    『My lord’s intention, do you want to make up your mind? ’ Pang Tong asked.


    "Shangji" is an official administration project carried out when the Han Dynasty was relatively clear at the beginning. The local governors, usually the county guards of various places, regularly report documents to the imperial court, stating the management and political situation of specific places, and then the imperial court conducts assessment and evaluation based on the above calculations.


    Originally, it was stipulated that at the end of each year, "accounting officials" from various counties and countries should carry "accounting books" to the capital for accounting. There is a big homework to be handed in, which is called "big class".


    The policy of "Shangji" actually existed in the Qin Dynasty, and it was established in the Han Dynasty. The counting model, that is, the counties and counties are first reported to the counties and counties, and then the counties and counties are aggregated and then reported to the court. Generally speaking, townships and counties are counted after the autumn harvest, while prefectures and counties are counted at the end of winter.


    There are also requirements for the content of the plan, including household registration, land reclamation, money and food, thieves, etc. At the beginning, the plan was also highly valued, and even the emperor himself was in charge of the plan. To carry out the assessment, the prime minister is mainly responsible for reporting the situation and results of the assessment to the emperor, while the Yushi doctor is responsible for reviewing and verifying the authenticity of the county and country''s assessment.


    During the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he attached great importance to Shangji, but in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Shangji gradually became the business of Shangshutai, and later, even Shangshutai didn’t care much.


    In the period of Emperor Han Ling, even the nobles of the royal family dared to excuse that the roads were congested and refused to communicate with the court, let alone give advice or lectures.


    At the same time, at the very beginning of the Han Dynasty, the governor was a supervisor, similar to the governor of the Ming Dynasty. In order to patrol the prefecture and state, to inspect and guard the prime minister, he would return to the capital to play at the end of the year. Time, so the original governor''s memorial plays a very important role, and can often be used to identify the authenticity of the prefecture''s plans.


    It''s a pity that after the Eastern Han Dynasty, the governor gradually changed from a supervisor to a local administrator, and he was stationed in the local area, so he lost his original role...


    There was even a system of "listening to the wind" in the Han Dynasty, that is, officials would be sent to listen to the folks. If any local officials had a very bad reputation in the field, the verification process would be initiated, and such behavior was basically not notified. The local officials do not have any intersection with the local officials, and belong directly to the court.


    So it is not that the Han Dynasty did not have a good system. It can even be said that the supervision system during the feudal dynasty may not be much worse than that of later generations, but it depends on execution.


    Fei Qian nodded, but shook his head again, and said: "Although it is slightly the same as the above plan, there are also differences. Someone ordered Wei Shenlu to revise the law of corruption, and that''s why..."


    Being an official in the Han Dynasty did not specify the specific term of office. Generally speaking, unless you really don’t want to do it, you can stay as an official for life without retiring.


    Although there were ups and downs during the inspection and supervision during the plan, but because of the problem of "induction between heaven and man", even if some things happened to these officials, as long as they can be fooled on the surface, such as being attached to the border of the so-called natural disaster Even in the Eastern Han Dynasty, if you stuffed enough money, everything would be fine.


    The induction between heaven and man was the biggest stone of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and then it fell on his own feet. China has a vast territory, and natural disasters are naturally impossible to avoid. Once a natural disaster occurs, it means that the emperor made a mistake, and the emperor will naturally not make mistakes, so Sangong will take the blame.


    Therefore, in the officialdom of the Han Dynasty, it was common for officials to come in and out of office, and the ups and downs of the official sea were also random. Some people started their careers with two thousand stones in one step, and some were dismissed in a blink of an eye after only three or four days. After being appointed as a magistrate, he didn’t even go out of the gate of the capital, and then went to another place full-time, and walked dozens of miles to catch up again and served as Jiuqing’s...


    Therefore, under such circumstances, the officials of the Han Dynasty basically did not care much about the change of official positions, and the people were also accustomed to the loss of official positions. He just said "the crown is exempted, and he can be an official again", and then he went directly to the official and returned to his hometown. He also won praise from many people, thinking that he was free and easy, and it was an act of a celebrity.


    Because of natural disasters, everyone knows what is going on, so no matter how hard you work, and then a disaster is useless, will anyone work hard? Naturally, it is impossible to punish the dismissal of such three princes, so these "former three princes" go home laughing, and the "last three princes" go to court with a sad face, and then go to the local officials. Is it possible to be punished after being dismissed? A big mistake like the sky. Hundreds of thousands of people were displaced, and they were not guilty in the end.


    So after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the official administration of the entire Han Dynasty gradually fell into disuse, and it became a necessity. Those who come out to mess around always have to pay back. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fooled the people of the world with the feeling of heaven and man, and later the people of the world began to fool his descendants.


    But now what Feiqian is doing is different.


    When the locust plague came, Fei Qian personally led his people to the front to contain the locust plague. This was almost impossible in the original Han Dynasty. According to the usual practice, when a locust plague strikes, the people are affected and displaced, and then there is always an explanation. Fei Qian, according to the usual practice, throws the blame on the "three men", that is, Pang Tong Xunyou, and asks one of them to take the blame after class. No one cares about those poor people...


    "Assessment by officials, they can be rated as eight beetles, saying they are greedy, cruel, impetuous and shallow, incompetent, old, sick, soft, and unscrupulous..." Feiqian said in a deep voice, "With him Sins can also be divided into four grades: greedy and cruel, irresponsible, relentless, staying idle for a while, old and sick, fatal, inferior, impetuous, and subdued. 』


    Just dismissing the official position, not discussing the crime, has no deterrent effect on the officials. If you make a mistake or something happens, you will be warned, first dismissed, and then wait for the public''s attention to recede, quietly change to another place and continue to serve as an official. Officer, for these silverfish, it couldn''t be better.


    Fei Qian glanced at Pang Tong. If he followed the style of Master Pang in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he would have to be judged as "not prudent in his conduct".


    Pang Tong naturally didn''t know what Fei Qian was thinking, but he was thinking about another thing, "If so, I''m afraid it''s Ma Zhengsi..."


    Feiqian nodded and understood what Pang Tong meant, but he still said firmly: "If you peck and drink, you will be to blame." Not only that, but also file! All assessments and assessments will be recorded in the files, and those who have been assessed in the eighth category three times will be hired or not, and they will be advertised to the world! 』


    Pang Tong was taken aback, his eyes widened, obviously indicating the need to be so ruthless? "Is this not a living person but a posthumous posthumous title?" 』


    Fei Qian laughed and said, "It should be so! 』


    Being an official in the Han Dynasty, the profit margins are unimaginably large, and the risk you take is really just a big deal to change places, or go home to farm. Heart.


    If during the tenure of office, hundreds of people, tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands of people can be corrupted to wealth that would never be obtained in a lifetime, then even if you have to give up your life, how can you stop your successors? And this is only possible, and there are still many people who are lucky, if they don''t get caught, wouldn''t they make money? It''s like later generations know the power of poison, once caught, you will die, and it is still hard to stop, not to mention that the punishment is lighter than that of poison, do you know how much corruption?


    Pang Tong said that living people get "posthumous posthumous posthumous titles". Although there are differences, the meaning is very accurate.


    If you grow melons, you will reap beans. If you come out to play, you always have to pay it back. Since you have obtained extremely high benefits, you will naturally have to bear great risks. Feiqian is basically equivalent to the "initiator" now, and Pang Tong and Xun You who are following behind are "coincidences". Imprisonment, but Pang Tong Xunyou has the opportunity to "abandon the dark and turn to the bright", the risk is relatively lower, and for other gentry children, basically there is no risk, so why do you feel any pressure, how do you do things? Will you do your best?


    Now, Fei Qian said that if he wants to be an official, he can do it, but the kind of "official" who used to drink wine and sing tricks, while putting it in his pocket and cheating, is gone now!


    Well done, there will naturally be rewards. For poorly done, I''m sorry, I''ll give you a "living posthumous posthumous posthumous title" for a lifetime!


    The Zhou royal family and the Spring and Autumn and Warring States countries widely implemented the system of posthumous posthumous titles, until Qin Shihuang thought that posthumous titles were suspected of "sons discussing fathers, ministers discussing monarchs", so they abolished it. It was not until the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty that the posthumous title system was restored.


    The so-called posthumous title is to use one or two words to make a general evaluation of a person''s life, which can be regarded as a final conclusion. Therefore, it is valued by the gentry. Like Liu Xie, he was called "Xian" after his death, but he is not alive now, and the so-called "Young Emperor" is not a real posthumous title, but just a convenient name for later generations, such as Zhidi, Chongdi ,is also like this. And there are some interesting things, for example, after Sun Quan''s death, he was called the "Great Emperor", which is also unprecedented in China.


    Maybe just a little less than "dog"?


    Fei Qian thought maliciously.


    It’s just that many things are strictly prohibited at the beginning and later collapsed. When the posthumous title first started, it was one or two characters before the Sui Dynasty, but since the Tang Dynasty, it has been broken. The number of emperors'' posthumous titles gradually increased. Xuanzong Li Longji decided to change the posthumous titles of the late emperors to seven characters.


    Afterwards, there were others who learned from each other and played better than the other. Among them, the crowning one was the wonderful flower with a posthumous title of 25 characters, "Chengtian Guangyun Shengde Shengong Zhao Ji Li Ji Ren Xiao Rui Wu Duan Yi Qin An Hong Wen Ding Ye Emperor Gao''...


    And at the moment, what do scholars value most?


    It is the reputation of the lintel!


    It is a family inheritance!


    The "Eight Beetles" standard and punishment plan launched by Feiqian hit the important points of these gentry children almost at once.
