Thanks to Qianlong's governing philosophy of openly selling officials, in theory, as long as he was rich enough, Jia Liu could even buy 70% of the official vacancies in the Qing Dynasty.
This is also the statistics of official donations of the Qianlong Dynasty by historians in previous generations, that is, about 70% of officials donated their titles.
This alone was not enough for Qianlong's expenses.
Later, in order to solve the financial crisis, He Shen created the "criminal silver" system, which means that it doesn't matter if you break the law as an official, as long as you have money to pay the fine, the penalty will be waived, and you can even continue to serve in multiple positions.
The two systems of selling one's official position and imposing fines ensured the long-term stability of the Qing Dynasty.
It sounds ridiculous, but it's true.
Because these two systems tied the Han elite and the wealthy wealthy men who had the ability to take action, to the broken ship of the Qing Dynasty.
Moreover, it made officials more loyal to the Qing Dynasty.
Why?
If you don't behead for corruption, you can spend money to eliminate disasters. Hey, that's so damn good. If you don't work for such a court, who will you work for?
Therefore, Qianlong can be praised as a wise king not without two brushes.
The prototype of the "criminal silver" system actually already exists. In order to generate income, Jia Liu arrested prostitutes on a large scale in the past year and used fines instead of corporal punishment, which is essentially the same as the criminal silver.
After experiencing the baptism of Jinchuan's blood and urine, Jia Liu's whole person has been deeply sublimated from the inside out, from top to bottom, and he has realized that the importance of common progress is far higher than his personal progress.
Therefore, he must do whatever it takes to drive all Banner colleagues to progress together, thereby creating a cohesive and unbreakable alliance named Jia.
It can be called Jia Lian for short.
Sichuan is the birthplace of Jia Lian, so it must be done well.
Only by laying a good foundation can we build a three-story building.
As early as the day President Li became the president, Jia Liu had thought about helping the third-in-command in Sichuan become the first-in-command, and then using the loopholes of Sichuan's big sales officials to place his people in various jobs in Sichuan. In this way,
It is tantamount to turning Sichuan into the province of Mr. Jia.
Then, the position of governor of Sichuan is quite important.
At present, the position of governor of Sichuan is actually vacant. In order to meet the needs of the Jinchuan and Jinchuan wars, the Qing government asked the governor of Sichuan to take charge of the governor's affairs.
If the battle in Jinchuan is won, it will definitely be meaningless and impossible to reinstate him as governor of Sichuan.
If you lose the battle, there are enough articles here.
Words are spoken by people, and as long as the emperor listens to them, things will be easier to do next.
Who can give the emperor a few words, sir?
Jia Liuzhuo and Zhongtang may not have a high official position, but they will definitely be able to accompany Qianlong and sing songs every day.
President Li was born into a local wealthy man in Guizhou. His family is rich and he is the richest man in western Guizhou. Why would a good young man from a rich family not spend money and donate money for officialdom?
Nothing more than power and false reputation.
If Jia Liu could really help him become the governor of Sichuan, he might not even be willing to let Chairman Li disembark.
Once again emphasizing that he is loyal to the Qing Dynasty, at least for now, Chairman Li's mentality gradually calmed down and his mood began to stabilize.
After making some insinuations to find out who the "person" Jia Guizi mentioned was someone above, to no avail, Chairman Li could only help out and make suggestions based on his temper.
As long as the donations are in place, it is not a big problem to turn dozens of civilians into local officials in Sichuan, because this is allowed by law.
Similarly, you can also buy the battalion soldiers and flag soldiers on the list.
But the first thing that needs to be resolved is the issue of funding.
How come Hahaha, who used to be so miserable, suddenly has money to donate money and buy an official position?
Jia Liushen thought so and asked President Li what the solution was.
Chairman Li has been an official for so many years and must be experienced. He said a few things immediately, which made Jia Liu feel elated, as if he had found a treasure.
"So,"
Jia Liu stood up and held President Li's hand, "Please!"
...........
After Chairman Li returned to Chongzhou with the list of names and the 300,000 taels of silver notes paid by Jia Liu in advance to start work, Jia Liu began to arrange the candidates to return to Beijing and the matters of staying behind.
"It's no good for me, and my braids are gone. If you don't take me with you on this trip back to Beijing, will your conscience hurt?"
When Zu Yingyuan saw that he was not on the list of people returning to Beijing, he was so angry that he almost cried.
Jia Liu quickly comforted him: "You are my confidant. If you stay here to take charge of the overall situation, I can feel at ease when I leave."
"Is it?"
Gubeng
Zu Yingyuan's complexion improved slightly, he threw the family letter to Jia Liu and went to work.
Because Qianlong summoned Jia Liu by name, Jia Liu could not bring too many people back to the capital. He mainly brought Yang Yuchun as the bodyguard, Yang Zhi as the housekeeper, Chang Bingzhong who was injured but not in a hurry, and Liu Heyi who had the potential to make inquiries.
In addition, there are Madri, the captain of Sauron's army, and his 20 selected subordinates, Zhang Dabiao leads 10 flag soldiers, and Liu De leads 20 battalion soldiers.
In fact, these people were no longer under the command of Jia Liu, but under the arrangement of the Deputy Governor Bo Qing'e, they were all transferred to Jimingyi in the name of serving Hou Qian.
The rest of them all stayed behind, waiting for notification of promotion and transfer.
After finalizing the candidates for returning to Beijing, Zu Yingyuan, Wang Fu and others called a meeting of all personnel according to Jia Liu's spiritual instructions.
There were nearly five hundred people attending the meeting, and there was not enough space in front of Jimingyi, so many people had to climb onto the roof or sit on the wall. Those who really had no room could only climb up the big tree beside the wall.
There is also a podium.
Since there were not enough tables, only Jia Liu could sit alone.
The flower bear was leaning under the window sill at the back, nibbling fresh bamboo shoots.
The first procedure of the meeting is to distribute money.
Each person is given one hundred taels, and everyone has a share.
Goudan also had a share, and Jia Liu kept it for him.
Jia Liu personally handed out money and took great trouble. Every time he handed out money, he would call the person's name and say a few words from time to time.
"Da Biao, if you have anything to bring home later, tell Shuan Zhu and I will deliver it to your home personally."
"...."
After the money was distributed, it was almost noon.
In order not to waste time, Jia Liu quickly entered the second process, which was to inform everyone that in the near future, everyone would have an official position.
"You all recognize Jia, and Jia also recognizes you all! I won't talk to you about other nonsense here. Jia will just say one thing. From now on, we will make money together, drink wine together, and have a happy life together."
Eat the meat together!”
While Jia Liu's loud and majestic words were still echoing in the valley, Wang Fu suddenly stood up and shouted: "Stand up!"
"Wow!" Everyone stood up.
Officers, soldiers, farmers and bears.
This posture frightened Jia Liu. There was no such process arrangement in advance, and no one was arranged to take the lead in applauding. Because time was limited, formalism was not used.
When he was wondering, Wang Fu took out a piece of paper and started reading: "Anyone who offends Mr. Jia is like offending me!"
"Anyone who offends Mr. Jia is like offending me!"
"Anyone who offends my brother is like offending me!"
"Anyone who offends my brother is like offending me!"
"Anyone who offends my brothers and sisters is like offending me!"
"..."
"If you violate this oath, you will die under ten thousand swords!"
After ten sentences, Jia Liu was stunned and subconsciously looked at Liu De.
Liu De hurriedly whispered: "Afu mentioned a rule that day, so I just said a few words casually."
"oh."
Jia Liu nodded deeply, I felt very relieved.
He walked up to the group of people sitting in the corner and slowly scanned their faces one by one.
These people have been able to follow them till today. Regardless of how capable they are, they are absolutely loyal.
Moreover, these civilians will soon become low-level officials in various parts of Sichuan. Although their positions are not high, they are very important, so Jia Liu should pay more attention to them.
"From now on, you must be good officials and be good officials, and don't bully the people..."
As Jia Liuzheng was talking, a thin man said in fear: "Sir, can I be an official even if I don't know how to read?"
"It doesn't matter if you can't read,"
Jia Liu pointed at himself, "Do you recognize me?"
The thin man nodded quickly: "I know you, I know you. Even if you turn into ashes, you will know me."
"That's it, you will be the next Chongning County Magistrate."
