How did the petty officials in Qing Dynasty corrupt?

Small officials and great greed have existed since ancient times. As the saying goes: three years to clear the magistrate, 100 thousand snowflakes and silver. Big officials have rank, status and power, and they can make money with their rights.

How can a petty official support himself? Of course, using big officials to make money.

No one can see or lose Fu Dashuai, but naturally not.

In order to get a glimpse of Prince Fu Cha, the beadle spent 654.38 million+two silvers back and forth, and finally met Fu Cha Kang 'an.

Fu Kangan

The beadle told Fu Kangan that it was said that the viceroy lost the battle in Tibet and spent thousands of taels of silver. Now that the war is over, you should calculate these expenses. But we are short of hands now, and it will take months to prepare the books. We can do it step by step, but the emperor is watching. Now that the guards are defeated, the emperor is in a good mood. If the accounts keep dragging on, I'm afraid the emperor is full of energy and even your praise is gone. In addition, the longer it dragged on, the officials began to stir up all kinds of troubles and find fault. At that time, I'm afraid the guards will be implicated.

Hearing this, Fu Kangan got a fright. Come to think of it carefully, the beadle is right. So, he quickly allocated two million and two thousand to reimburse the beadle.

In this way, small officials naturally earn a lot from these two million and two thousand.

Qing officials and their assistants

In the Qing dynasty, the influence of petty officials was extremely important. It can be said that it is difficult to have the pleasure of a big official without a small official. Modern decentralized officials are all officials, and they basically don't stay in one place for a long time before moving. When an official arrives at a place, if he wants to walk around it, he must rely on small officials from other places. These small officials are generally locals and are familiar with all kinds of relationships. Without them, it is impossible for officials to do things.

Therefore, in order to make these small officials serve themselves and better promote the handling of the premises, officials have to rely on small officials to benefit them. Petty officials often seize this point, blackmail officials and deceive localities, which has become a great harm in officialdom and cultivated a few greedy petty officials.

In the Qing Dynasty, officials and places were complicated, and all kinds of official letters were single. Especially in litigation and prison, petty officials are very familiar with prison laws, even more familiar than officials. This aspect is often the most profitable place, so it is easy to breed unjust, false and wrong cases, and the work of selling cases with money often breaks out.

In the Qing dynasty, officials tried cases, and petty officials used their power in disguise.

Even in the capital, at the foot of the emperor, small officials are looking for this project. Once upon a time, Zuo moved back to Korea from Xinjiang, and the small officials in Chongwenmen wouldn't let him go. Zuo has no choice but to spend a lot of money on it.

In the past, there was an alternate magistrate in Zhejiang who had to fill the vacancy. The official department sent a letter saying that this vacancy should be filled by you, but according to the regulations, you have to give me 1200 yuan. The magistrate of a county thought, this thing should have been mine, why spend such a large sum of money again, so he ignored the requirements of the Ministry's small officials. As a result, the vacancy was filled by others.

As for the stacks, grain, notes, messages and relief materials handled by small officials, it is impossible to know how many have flowed into the hands of small officials.

The emperor's feet were also ravaged by petty officials.

It can be seen how rampant and powerful the greed of small officials is.

Tired of watching, let's have a joke to make you happy:

Don't plan to have children

My six-year-old son said that he would marry the little girl next door. Mom said, "Have you seriously considered it?" Son: "Of course!" Mother asked, "How to go to school?" "We all have our own bicycles." The son said. Finally, the mother asked her son, "What should I do if I get married and have children?" Son: "We discussed that we don't plan to have children for the time being. If she lays an egg, I'll crush it! "
