Chapter 53 Embezzlement of Public Funds for Good Six Sons
Captain, do you want to be an official?
These words were like asking fellow Taoist to stay. They fascinated Jia Liu so much that he couldn't help but stop. He took two steps back, stretched out his powerful right hand and hooked Liu Heyi's neck with a smile on his face.
Xiaoxiao lowered his voice: "Tell me, what's the good thing?"
Good thing, really good thing!
After the former Sichuan Governor Altai was ordered to commit suicide by Qianlong due to his incompetence in supervising the war, the former Governor of Sichuan, Fulhun, took over the post of Governor of Sichuan.
After taking office, Fulehun found that the situation in the army was not optimistic. He reported that "all the members sent to Sichuan Province regard the military camp as a fearful route, for fear that the export office will not be able to get in touch with them."
In the past, the officers transferred to Sichuan from various provinces were afraid of the war and were unwilling to serve. Many of them left the flood-prone areas for various reasons without permission, or pretended to be sick and stayed in Chengdu and refused to take up their posts. As a result, the garrison in many places only had soldiers and no officers.
.
How is this so great?
Emperor Qianlong, who was far away in Beijing, was very angry after hearing Fulehun's memorial, and ordered Fulehun to impose strict rectification.
How is Fulehun regulated?
Take the fire out of the cauldron!
The governor who thrived on impeachment simply dismissed all the current officers he considered incompetent, and then appointed them from the newly transferred banners and battalions this month, that is, "replacing them with newly transferred officers."
Probably Fullerhun thinks that no matter how bad the newcomers are, they are better than those old gangsters, and they are somewhat passionate and want to make contributions.
In addition, Fulehun also came up with a good idea. The war on the front line is tight right now. He needs both more troops and food and wages, but as the governor of Sichuan, he doesn't have the ability to turn stone into gold.
So he once again submitted a petition to allow merchants from all over the country to transport grain to Sichuan. According to the regulations for the 13th year of Qianlong's reign, the salary was increased: one stone of grain was worth nine coins of silver, and anyone who received a thousand stones of grain would be awarded the title of tribute supervisor. The titles were increased in order, with the highest being the highest.
The person will be awarded the title of chief official of the prefecture. Whether he or she can actually hold the position can be decided by the ministry.
In order to expand financial resources and encourage soldiers, this method is used by both military and civilians.
That is to say, anyone in the army who can pay three thousand stone soldiers and meters (equivalent to silver) at one time can be promoted to one level. For example, the Green Camp was originally a guerrilla, and he will become a deputy general as soon as the money is paid, and there will be no delay.
The Eight Banners generals followed the same example, based on half a future, and initially decided that only three thousand taels would cover half of the future.
In addition, Fulehun was very considerate. He even thought of using Bannermen's children without official positions in the army, and specially opened a fast promotion channel.
"At first glance, all those who have no official position in the banner will be given the title of assistant director of the Qianfeng School, appointed to supplement Lan Ling's leadership, empty titles of Qianfeng School, Qianfeng School, and empty titles of Hualing, until they are appointed to all the officers of the Qianfeng Guards, and become the First Chief of the Bank.
Thousand stones are equivalent to rice silver."
According to this rule, as long as a Baitang'a pays one thousand taels, he can be appointed as a ninth-grade official guard immediately. If he pays seven thousand taels, he can be appointed as a forward guard of the fifth grade.
The formulation is very clear and detailed.
However, it should be noted that in this method, official positions are often marked with the words "appointment to fill", "vacant title", and "appointment to office". To put it bluntly, they are actually candidates for appointment.
Whether you can take the job depends mainly on opportunities and vacancies.
But compared to the status of Baitang'a, which has no grades and no grades, this channel is undoubtedly a benefit for rapid promotion.
The memorial was just sent to Beijing in the morning, and in the afternoon Fulehun prepared to implement it tomorrow.
Some staff advised the governor to wait for the approval of the court before implementing it, otherwise he might get into trouble. After all, "blatantly selling one's official position" involves too many frauds, and it is easy to get someone to impeach him.
Fulehun said that the imperial court even made large donations, so there was nothing wrong with him doing special things for the war. He told his subordinates that although his predecessor Altai was guilty of corruption, it was still due to his inability to supervise the war.
Now that he, Fuller Hun, has been appointed at the critical moment, if he does not want to make the same mistakes as his predecessor, he must take drastic measures to give the military and civilians a new look, and must not be pedantic. If the war makes no new progress and continues for a long time, even if he maintains his original position, he may end up in failure.
The fate of being dismissed from office.
This is a thorough understanding of the anxious thoughts of the man on the dragon throne in Beijing, and it is also a lesson that the wars in various places over the past thirty years have taught the officials of the Qing Dynasty.
How did Liu Heyi know in advance that the official document would be sent out by genius?
Because the second cousin of his fourth nephew's family serves in the Governor's Yamen.
"Is this really true?"
Jia Liu felt a little hungry. He wanted to be an official so much.
"Captain, can I still lie to you?"
Liu Heyi whispered that he had not told anyone about this matter, that is, he wanted to treat him well in Captain Jia, so he secretly told him.
Liu Heyi reminded: "Captain, if you really want to be an official, you have to hurry up."
Seeing how the boy didn't care, Jia Liu asked him if he wanted to buy an official position.
"I'm going to buy a crane, but I have money and nothing to do with it?"
Liu Heyi actually said that he would not spend the money because he did not want to stay in this hellish place at all, and vaguely revealed that his distant relative in the governor's office was helping him stay in Chongzhou to find a way to spend his time after the New Year.
Return to Beijing.
This is because everyone has his own ambitions.
After Liu Heyi returned to the house, Jia Liu had no intention of going to play with Goudan, so he waited at the gate of the camp. After about half an hour, he saw Alan Bao and others getting out of a carriage, all well-fed and well-fed.
After waiting for another stick of incense, Jia Liu tiptoed and knocked on Alanbao's door.
After entering, he found Alan Paul sitting on a chair with a bucket of hot water at his feet and a steaming towel covering his face.
"Xiao Liuzi, you are here,"
After drinking too much, Alan Paul burped and took his feet out of the bucket.
"Sir, you sit down, I'll do it!"
Jia Liu hurriedly stepped forward and wiped Alan Bao's feet with the dry towel on the side, and then took out the foot washing water and poured it out with a smile on his face.
"You are good at serving others. Don't tell me, I really like you when I look at you... What, is something wrong?"
"grown ups,"
After hesitating for a moment, Jia Liu told the gossip he had just learned.
"I just found out about this."
After Alan Bao wiped his face with a towel, he glanced at the cigarette bag hanging by the bed. Without saying a word, Jia Liu took the cigarette bag over, filled it with tobacco leaves, and lit it.
After taking two puffs, Alan Bao smiled and said: "I have already informed the superiors that I will transfer you to Menuo Official Village the day after tomorrow."
"Meino official village?"
"That's where Mr. Liu is."
Upon hearing this, Jia Liu breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Shilang supervised the transportation of grain and rice, and it couldn't be safer. The fifty taels were really not in vain, and his life was saved.
Although Alan Bao is a full-fledged person, he can really handle it.
Give money to do things, authentic!
But when I thought about the gossip, my face seemed hesitant to speak.
Seeing this, Alan Bao probably guessed what this guy meant and asked with a smile: "Why, are you tempted and want to donate a job title?"
Jia Liu hurriedly took a step forward, bowed slightly, and said sincerely: "Sir, I think if I can make some progress, it will be a waste to join this army."
The options for the bannermen of the Han army are no better than those of the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers. They are very limited.
Alan Bao also saw Jia Liu's performance along the way and knew that this kid wanted to climb up, but this was not a bad thing.
Alan Bao thought for a while and said: "This matter is not difficult to handle. The question is how much money do you have?"
How much money does Jia Liu have? He has the one hundred taels of silver notes given by his eldest sister and the more than two hundred taels he earned from his hard work in the past few days, making a total of more than three hundred taels.
"not enough."
Alan Bao shook his head, "It's not that I won't help you, but it's just that you're so short of money that it's difficult to handle."
When Alan Baona came out, Jia Liubi felt disappointed.
It's not that Alan Bao refused to help, but people said that Jia Liu really wanted to donate an official position and help him out as his imperial blue feather guard. At least he could help him find a ninth-grade blue feather chief, but I'm afraid he would have to
One thousand taels.
And Jia Liu's total net worth is only three hundred taels. The missing seven hundred taels cannot be made up for by Master A.
I tossed and turned at night and couldn't sleep, my thoughts were heavy.
"Master, do you miss a woman?"
Shuan Zhu, who was sleeping next to him, was very concerned about the young master's movements. He got up several times to look at the young master with his eyes wide open.
.........
Jia Liu woke up late the next day because he was not in the mood, and he was resting today anyway.
Just as he was hiding in bed, thinking about where to get the money to buy an official, someone called him outside, saying that it was the leader of the team who asked Butha from all the banners to assemble.
There was no other way, so Jia Liu had to get up, get dressed and run all the way over.
When we arrived at the place, we saw all the foremen from the other Seven Banners, including Alan Bao. There were also three Su La who were moving boxes down from a carriage.
"Here he comes."
Alan Bao nodded to Jia Liu, and then told the foremen that the governor's office had sent them their monthly salary, rice price and silver, as well as horse raising fees.
"The Xianghuang flag is one thousand four hundred and sixty taels, the Zhenghuang flag is one thousand two hundred and thirty taels..."
When Jia Liu heard that the Zhenglan Banner of their Han army numbered 1,170 taels, he couldn't help but wonder why their Zhenglan Banner company had fifty-seven people worshiping Tang Agasura and seventeen war horses. More two yellow flags are worse than fewer.
However, he did not dare to express this question.
After Alan Bao reported the number, he asked the foreman of each flag to take the money back and distribute it.
The other seven foremen quickly took the money back, but Jia Liu stood still.
"Take it and send it to the following later. I will go to the city later."
It is true that Alanbao is the leader of the Eight Banners of the Han Army, but tomorrow all the sons of the Eight Banners of the Han Army will be sent to different places. After completing his mission as leader, he will have to accept new transfer orders.
Therefore, today is actually the last day that Alan Bao, Jia Liu and the others get along.
"嗻!"
Jia Liu responded and picked up the bag of silver weighing more than ten kilograms, but instead of returning to Benqi's residence, he walked directly into Alan Bao's house.
