There is a category of official positions in officialdom that, although not at the highest level, is recognized as "fat poor". Holding these three positions, it seems that you can enjoy luxury and comfort for the rest of your life. What is the magic of this kind of officialdom?
This article will take you through the mysteries of these three official positions and unravel their highly sought-after mysteries. The officialdom elite may know this, but for most people it remains a mystery. What is so special about these three positions, and why do they allow them to live a worry-free life?
As time passes, we explore the secrets of officialdom and learn about the intrigue and wisdom behind these three positions. Perhaps, there is a unique officialdom game rule here, which makes people curious. What is this feast of power and conspiracy is worth revealing together.
In the power games of ancient China, the identity of Tobe Ginkuro has always been unpredictable. This is mainly due to the fact that this position holds a huge amount of wealth.
During the Daoguang period, a rumor shook the government and the opposition. It is said that when the inventory was carried out in the household treasury, it was found that ** was lost as much as more than 9 million taels! For a Langzhong, this is an astronomical amount. Did someone embezzle this huge amount of money?
It is said that the ** of the silver treasury has already mastered a superb skill. They can endure extreme pain, inject ** into their bodies little by little in the most vicious way, and process 50 to 80 taels at a time. This practice may seem cruel, but it is extremely difficult to detect.
Therefore, people with intentions covet this position more and more and strive for it with all their might. Most of them would not hesitate to pay sky-high prices to buy official positions. For the return of millions of taels of silver in the future, this investment is simply insignificant.
However, it was too difficult to become a silver banker. The imperial court was well aware of its ** power, so it was extremely cautious in appointing **. Only those who are of good character and honest are eligible to be considered. Otherwise, they are likely to be consumed by the greed of power and ultimately defeated.
Many people will do anything to compete for this position, which speaks to the enormity of power. At the same time, however, there are unforeseen costs and consequences. Perhaps many people originally had the original intention of eliminating harm for the people, but once they are involved in this whirlpool, I am afraid it will be difficult to maintain the original intention.
For an empire, grain transportation is its lifeblood. The grain governor, who held the power of grain distribution, actually held the power of life and death in the empire. This makes Shaanxi Governor's grain road famous, known as "the world's first fat poor".
Every year, about 200,000 loads of military rations need to be delivered to front-line combat units, and this large-scale material deployment is crucial to the combat effectiveness of the army. Therefore, the position of overseer is extremely important and has become the highest goal pursued by many people in life.
Zhang Jixin is one of them. He was not wealthy at first, but in order to become a grain governor, he did not hesitate to put all his belongings on him. After borrowing money everywhere, he spent a total of 20,000 taels**, which was a huge amount of money at the time. However, for Zhang Jixin, this is not to be feared, because he already has a beautiful vision of wealth in the future.
When he finally stepped down two years later, he was already full of gold and silver. What's even more amazing is that he paid off all his previous debts and started a carefree and prosperous life. So, how exactly did he amass such a huge fortune in such a short period of time?
The main means of doing so is the withholding of military rations. He privately withheld 10,000 quintals of grain, and successfully deceived layers of supervision by changing the proportion of grain. With this means alone, his annual profit is as high as tens of thousands of taels**. However, this is only part of the story.
Of course, there is a price to be paid for such large-scale interceptions. Zhang Jixin needs to bribe related **, and even carry out more unknown things, which is undoubtedly to quench his thirst. However, in the face of power and money, what does he have to scruple about?
In ancient times, tax collectors were known for their high salaries and lucrative salaries, and many civil servants regarded becoming tax collectors as the ultimate goal of their lives. Particularly striking were the household customs officers of the Jingshi and the provinces. These tax collectors are required to pay hundreds of thousands of taels to the state treasury every year**, but they also have the greatest opportunity to benefit from it.
In Jiangsu Province, for example, more than 800,000 taels need to be handed over every year**, but in fact, only one-third of them will be paid to the state treasury, and most of the rest will go into the pockets of tax officials. In other words, a tax collector could easily earn more than 500,000 taels a year, which was a huge amount of money at the time!
There is a rumor circulating in the government and the opposition: as long as you become a tax collector and work for a year, you don't have to worry about food and clothing in this life. Although this sentence may be an exaggeration, it reflects the huge wealth hidden by tax collectors from one side. They had as much power in their hands as the billionaires of today.
Because of this, the emperor was extremely cautious in appointing tax collectors. Candidates are usually only selected from among the royal family and are generally held for a period of only one year. Because if these people have too much power and too long a term, they will pose a potential threat to the imperial power. This was what the ancient emperors feared the most.
It can be seen that there are also many invisible power-for-money transactions hidden behind the tax officer. Although they may be honest and honest on the surface, they are secretly no different from the most corrupt ** in the court. Perhaps many tax collectors were initially unselfish, but eventually this huge ** made them lose themselves.
In ancient China, there were indeed some extremely powerful official positions, and the huge benefits they brought were unbelievable. However, there are also immeasurable risks and pitfalls hidden behind these positions. Many people end up being bewitched by power and drifting away from their original intentions.
