    In the face of natural and man-made disasters, a corrupt official once said a famous saying: 'Save the people first, save the officials. If the officials can't survive, how can we save the people?' This statement sounds outrageous, but when you think about it, it makes sense.  The ironclad truth that reality is helpless!

    Taking the Han Dynasty as an example, the state power has a pyramid structure: the emperor (named but not powerful) - the rulers (Cao Cao, Xiao Yi) - the civil and military officials of the court - the feudal officials - the local officials - the common people!

    Government orders are conveyed from top to bottom, and taxes are handed down from bottom to top. Only when government orders are smooth can the country operate normally. If there is a problem in a certain link, the state machine will collapse!

    The imperial treasury was empty after consecutive battles, and the imperial court had not issued any salary for more than a year. Top dignitaries such as Cao Cao and Xiao Yi had fiefs, manors, and treasure houses. Even if they did not receive salary for a hundred years, it would not have any impact on their lives.  The same cannot be said for lower-level officials.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away out of the office.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off out of the government.

    "Survival is human instinct. In order to put food in their mouths, clothes on their backs, and to support their parents, wives, and children, officials have no choice but to find ways on their own, and the most direct and simplest way is to exploit the people at the bottom, which is corruption!

    Once the river of greed breaks its embankment, it can no longer be blocked. If the court owes officials ten shi of rice, they will embezzle a hundred shi or a thousand shi and the people will be oppressed ten times or a hundred times.  The number of people has increased, so there is a saying that harsh government is as fierce as a tiger and officials are as ruthless as wolves!

    Therefore, after Xiao Yi obtained the money and food, the first thing he did was to distribute salaries, so that the officials could be fed and clothed, blocked the river of greed, and allowed the state machine to operate, so that the people at the lowest level could be relieved!

    Of course, people's greed is endless. Even if officials are given salaries, they will inevitably take bribes and prey on the people. However, salaries must be paid first, because those who eat the emperor's salary and are loyal to the emperor will be killed if they are not loyal.  It¡¯s famous!

    ? ? Salary arrears, hunger and cold, leading to corruption and bribery by officials, are both intolerable under national law and reasonable. Even if you want to kill corrupt officials, you can't even lift a knife!

    On the contrary, even if all the salaries have been paid, and officials are still corrupt and accepting bribes, then we should arrest one and kill each one, and kill them with confidence, and it will be useless for anyone to plead for mercy.

    The merchants worked very efficiently. They delivered the money and food the next day for what they agreed to do at night. Vehicles lined up in a long queue in front of Taicang. The treasury that had been empty for more than a year finally gained some confidence

    As for the houses, fields, and livestock donated by the businessmen, they were handed over to the local government and used to provide relief to the people. Developing the mines required a lot of manpower, and it was necessary to recruit many craftsmen and civilians, and to solve the problem of feeding many people.

    "Taicang has distributed salaries. Everyone, hurry up and get your salary!"

    "The great Sima has great magical powers and got money and food overnight. He is indeed a capable minister in governing the world!"

    "Xiao Lang is the reincarnation of the God of Killing, not the God of Wealth. How did he get a lot of money and food? Is there any fraud involved?"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    With money and food in hand, Xiao Yi arranged the manpower to distribute salaries to civil and military officials. From senior officials to petty officials, from the central government to the local government, he repaid them all at once and never defaulted on anyone!

    After the news spread, there was an immediate sensation throughout the court, especially the poor lower-level officials, who hurriedly brought their families and drove ox carts to receive their salaries.

    Many senior officials also came. They were not unable to reveal the blame, but they did not believe the news about the salary. They thought it was another trick of Xiao Yi and wanted to stabilize people's hearts, so they came in carriages and horses to see if it was true.  Money and food?

    If they really have money and food, they will take out all their salaries. Who will have trouble with money and food? Besides, every time they take out the money, the national treasury will be empty, and there will be less money to use to relieve the victims. Cao Cao and Xiao Yi will have more troubles.  point!

    If they don¡¯t have money or food, they will take the opportunity to make a big fuss and instigate officials to attack Xiao Yi and Cao Cao. It¡¯s best to get them out of office, and then they can take the opportunity to seize power. Kong Rong and Zu Bi are the representative figures!

    After several bloody suppressions, the loyalist forces were severely weakened and lost the courage to resist with force, so they had to secretly stir up trouble everywhere. Civil uprisings broke out all over the Central Plains, and these people were adding fuel to the flames

    Ministers are loyal to the monarch, and the monarch gives ministers salaries. This is a matter of course. During the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, the salary was mainly based on food. The monarch divided the land to princes, officials, and officials, and the harvest from the land  It¡¯s just salary.At the lobby door, Chen Qun grabbed him

    ¡°In a matter of seconds, the Grand Sima obtained a large amount of money and grain, and paid salaries to civil and military officials. With such administrative skills, the lower officials are impressed!

    But, if you replace Lumi with coins today, more than half of the gold, silver, and copper coins in the treasury will be consumed. It will be difficult to persist in the long run. I'm afraid it will cause trouble. I hope the Great Sima will think twice!  "

    Arriving at a secluded and uninhabited place, Chen Qun showed a worried look. His salary was changed from just food to a combination of money and food. This method is certainly beneficial to the country and the people, but it also has great disadvantages!

    The court lacked everything but smart people. The method of replacing Lumi with coins had been advocated by some people during the Western Han Dynasty, and they knew the benefits, but they had never been able to implement it!

    The reason is also very simple. There is no money in the imperial treasury, and the reason why there is no money in the treasury is that the entire country has no money. Specifically, it is short of hard currencies such as gold, silver, and copper!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
