Not only the magistrate’s salary is paid, but everyone in Chenliu County who receives salary is surprised.

It turned out that a non-prime official had a monthly salary of only three s of ounces per month, and he had to pay the true colors. Now, the non-prime official official had a monthly salary of ten yuan per month, and it was thirty yuan after subsidies. The general office was 15 yuan per month, and the archers and constables also increased to six yuan, and even the chefs and the gatekeepers also increased to three yuan.

The salary increase was very large. Although the new salary system of the court did not have the item of rice and the officials below did not have the additional food, but there was no real item of discount, and the silver dollar coupons were placed uniformly, which actually improved their treatment.

The court actually had many different attitudes towards Liu Jun's salary increase. It is generally believed that it was too high, especially the clean bank and the subsidy.

All subsidies actually reached five times the regular salary, and the integrity-raising silver was even higher. A county magistrate had 200 yuan a month, while a governor had 30,000 yuan a year, and the governor had 20,000 yuan, and the governor had 20,000 yuan. The governor had 10,000 yuan, the Taoist magistrate was 5,000 yuan, the prefect, 4,000 prefect, 3,000 prefect, and 2,044 county magistrates.

However, Liu Jun still resolutely raised his salary. He did not make any other difference because the salary increase was actually just a change in the past when the imperial court did not give money, so he asked officials to get the money by themselves, which turned into court money, and officials were not allowed to take it privately.

It's like raising a dog to take care of chickens and ducks. If he doesn't feed him, he will definitely steal chickens and ducks.

Officials are not ordinary people. They are officials who guard the places and hold real power in their hands. The court gives them low wages and wants them to be honest. It is almost impossible.

A high salary may not necessarily support integrity, but a low salary will inevitably help greed.

And the past salary was indeed too low.

Although high salaries may not necessarily support integrity, too low salaries will inevitably lead to corruption. Just like the current rules in the officialdom, this is actually a kind of default corruption.

What does the state collect taxes? It is used to support officials, the army, disaster relief, water conservancy construction, etc. What does it do to maintain officials? It manages both the government office and the local people, which is both management and guidance and leadership.

These leaders and sheepdogs must be kept well, otherwise how can we lead the flock?

The official atmosphere in the late Ming Dynasty was generally corrupt, and corruption became a trend.

Liu Jun now made up for the lack of money and raised his salary while filing. The next step was to crack down on corruption. In the Han Dynasty, Liu Jun wanted to tell all the officials that he would not treat them badly, but he would never allow these people to commit corruption.

Now that these people have received high salaries and good salaries, they have no reason to reach out. If anyone reaches out, they will not be polite.

On the other hand, the court is indeed rich now. Now it is no longer as good as the previous dynasty, living with a belt tightly every day. Under Liu Jun's new policy, the court has grasped the money bag very well.

Through banks, lottery tickets, sea trade, Liu Jun made his first pot of gold, later the manufacturing bureau, salt, tea, tobacco, wine and grain transportation, and other important projects were successfully operated. Not only did the court make a lot of investment, but he also mastered these important national strategic materials in hand.

The implementation of the new tax law has made a lot of money.

Instead of the previous dynasty, the new dynasty also accepted a large amount of property from the previous dynasty, including Huangzhuang, Wangzhuang, Huangdian, Guandian, mine, etc., which were all money. Although several wars cost a lot, they did not lose money in each war, and even made money.

The acceptance of Mongolian tribes has caused a large amount of materials and commodities to flow from the grassland to the Central Plains.

Not to mention that clearing the debts and recovering them will also make another big investment from the court.

Of course you have to spend money, otherwise the money will be piled up in the bank to generate interest? What's the point?

But Liu Jun would not spend money randomly. Many officials proposed to complete the outer city that had not been repaired in the capital back then, and proposed a huge budget, which Liu Jun directly denied.

Now that the new dynasty is in its prime, there is indeed some money in hand, but there are many places to use it. There is no hurry to build the outer city of the capital.

Liu Jun did not give the money to the heroes. The rewards and punishments were moderate and they should not be rewarded randomly.

He did not treat these heroes unfairly. The salaries of the soldiers were raised again and again. Every time he fought and was rewarded a lot every New Year holiday. Liu Jun now has money. The most important things he did was to expand the army and increase the treatment of the soldiers, so that they could quell the rebellions in various places for him as soon as possible. The second was to raise salaries for the officials, refresh the administration of officials, remove the unhealthy trends, and restore local order.

The world is so big that Liu Jun cannot take care of everything. All he has to do is formulate a system and then choose the one who is good to implement it.

Liu Jun insisted on a salary increase, and the first time he paid a salary, he also had an additional three months of salary.

"In the future, the salary will be increased in December every year, which will be considered as the year-end reward. In addition, there will be rewards for the four seasons and eight festivals. The officials in the capital spend more, so all the officials in the capital will be given double salary and double the regular salary."

However, while the salary increase was raised, Liu Jun also began to prepare for anti-corruption.

The salary has been raised, and so many have been raised. If someone reaches out to him, it is to ignore his will.

Liu Jung sent seven departments, including the Censorate, Jinyiwei, Dongchang, Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Revenue, to draw personnel to form a joint inspection and investigation team of multiple temples.

Many central inspection and investigation teams will inspect various provinces, prefectures and counties. Those who fail to do their jobs will be demoted, and those who do not change their corruption will be dismissed and dismissed from office and punished.

Ni Yuanlu said with some concern, "Now that the rebellion in various places has not been put down, and it is probably more turbulent to be strictly investigated at this time."

Liu Jun had long thought about his concerns, and he could not compromise because of his concern. So in this way, how can the new dynasty's administration be refreshed? Over time, officials will only continue to be the same as before, take what they should take and what they should be greedy. Now we should take advantage of the new dynasty's initial establishment to make a clear attitude.

Anyway, those who should be reversed have also turned against each other, and Liu Jun doesn't care about a few more dissatisfied officials.

"After you go down, the focus is on checking taxation, grain, salt, grain transportation, customs, and postal. Although these yamen are newly built, they must also prevent them from being **."

"There is another task, which is to supervise all localities, investigate all the property of the former Ming royal family members, collect all the assets of the imperial concubines and relatives, and collect them."

"The property of those rebels and rebel parties must also be supervised to supervise the local government to confiscate and register it, and no one is allowed to use it to embezzle and occupy it."

After the conversation, Fu Yuan Jixian asked to stay and report.

"Your Majesty, the former Ming royal family members are really going to be exiled overseas?" He said hesitantly. He had been a little confused about Liu Jun's decree. "Isn't it too much?"

"I have been thinking for a long time and originally planned to stay on the front line. But now you have seen the things that have happened. The royal families in various places have rebelled, and I am also very disappointed. There are so many royal families in the former Ming Dynasty. It will always be a problem. I am not worried about what these people can really accomplish. But now that the court wants to implement the new policy, it will inevitably touch the interests of many landlords and gentry. These people will pick up the descendants of the Zhu family to fight against the court."

"Sending them overseas is not that bad. Although they may lose their current life as a rich and powerful emperor. But I will also make proper arrangements. The places I went to are actually pretty good, they are all big islands. They are not a smoky place, but they are actually better than Hainan."

"I have been sending people to run there in recent years, and now there are also prosperous towns and markets. After they go there, they will share their land. If they are willing to farm with peace of mind and support themselves, then there is no problem of self-sufficiency, and they can even live a good life. I just don't want them to be used again, nor do I want them to make mistakes. After all, I don't want to end up and become an unsolvable situation."

The new dynasty would not have much preferential treatment for the royal families of the previous dynasty. Qin unified the world, and the nobles of the six countries did not have a good life. The Han Dynasty won the world, and even the heroes were kept in their bows, let alone the nobles of the six countries of the Qin Dynasty. Later, the three kingdoms fought, and the royal families of the Han Dynasty had no good ending.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it was even more an era when father, son and brother were about to kill each other.

When the Sui Dynasty usurped the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yang Jian killed all the Yuwen clan and later pacified the south. Although it was quite good to the Western Liang and Southern Chen, it also destroyed Jinling, forcibly moved all the members of the Southern Chen clan and ministers to Chang'an, and then placed all the children of the Chen clan to the right side of Long. In fact, it was no different from being exiled to the army.

When the Tang Dynasty captured the country, there were not many royal families left in the former Sui Dynasty. Even the puppet emperor who abdicated to Li Yuan was killed.

Relatively speaking, the Song Dynasty treated the previous dynasty better, but this was because there were not many members of the Later Zhou royal family, and the orphans and widows were also very honest.

There are too many royal families in the former Ming Dynasty now, so many that they can’t count them. Thousands of thousands. Moreover, these people have been extravagant for too long and are reluctant to accept reality at all.

Even if you are preferential, you cannot raise a group of ancestors.

If they did not rebel, Liu Jun would be better for them. But now, Liu Jun was too lazy to think about these things anymore. Sending them to overseas islands such as Danluo and Juji was already the greatest preferential treatment for them.

"Each person gives them a piece of land and a sum of money and food, and then they have to support themselves. If they can't adapt, there is no way. The Ming Dynasty is gone, and the Han Dynasty can't support them anymore. Back then, Emperor Hongwu was also a farmer, and he had to be a monk and paid for all kinds of hardships. If his descendants could not even support themselves, there was nothing they could do."

At this point, Yuan Jixian couldn't say anything else.

"Yuanfu, I hope you will take the lead in this year's imperial examination. This is the first imperial examination in this dynasty, and I hope to get a good start."

Yuan Jixian was not surprised and nodded.

"Yuan Fu, do you have any opinions on the imperial examination and the imperial examination and the imperial examination and the imperial examination and the imperial examination?"

Yuan Jixian thought about it and found that the imperial examinations have a history of thousands of years. From the Sui and Tang Dynasties to the Han Dynasty today, it has become an extremely mature system.

"I think the system is now very perfect."

Liu Jun shook his head, "What is the perfection of the eight-legged article?"

"Yuan Fu didn't think that the eight-legged scholars were selected. Of course, some of the students who were selected were elite students, but there were also many fools who were not divided into grains. These people became officials after the imperial examination and sergeant, but they didn't know anything. When they were in office, they either did nothing or did anything wrong. Each official had to take charge of several divisions. Rather than saying that they were in charge of the government, they were behind the scenes of the divisions."

"Many people don't know what governance is, and they don't know how to be a good official. Apart from putting on airs and greed, these people have nothing to do."

"Yuanfu, I want to make some changes, change the old rules and regulations of the imperial examination, remove some disadvantages, and select some real talents for the empire." (To be continued.)
