It is precisely because of the large-scale sale of official positions and titles that officials need to embezzle to make a profit. And those honest and honest officials are unwilling to buy official positions to embezzle them because they have no money and are unwilling to buy official positions, so they are dismissed or resigned themselves.

The corruption of officials brought the following consequences to the official system of the Han Dynasty: First, the drawbacks are increasingly exposed, but they weakened the ideals and beliefs of officials and destroyed the conscience and sense of social responsibility of officials. This is like this in the country, and everyone is like this. It is difficult for those who are with Mo to be alone. This is also a very normal thing in this social environment.

"Selling official positions" seriously suppresses talents and reduces the quality of officials.

The official positions are basically controlled by wealthy, greedy businessmen and powerful people, but the truly capable people are not appointed.

"Selling official positions" also increases the burden on the people and aggravates class conflicts. Businessmen and powerful people are not philanthropists, and they have to pay back their capital when buying official positions and make money.

These can only be claimed from their own positions and from the people, and eventually the people rebelled on a large scale.

Everyone knew that they were rebels in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Emperor Zhaolie of Han, Liu Bei, who was known for his "benevolence", also started his career by "suppressing thieves".

However, the Yellow Turban powers were numerous, and a large number of people participated in it. It was because of the corruption of officials that led to serious class confrontation, and in order to survive, the people had to rebel.

"Selling official positions" poisons political and social atmosphere, leading to corruption in the officialdom, darkness and worldly trends.

People basically think about promotions not how to study hard or get fame and fortune. Instead, they think about how to get a job and then exploit the people. People's values ​​are distorted, more speculative people do fewer people, and the country will eventually perish.

The background of official positions in the Han Dynasty can be mainly attributed to economic deficiencies and personal desires.

According to the ideas of the Han Dynasty, official positions transactions were not accepted by gentlemen, but at that time, there was indeed a shortage of funds, and the merchants with wealth would not take the initiative to provide assistance to the country.

Therefore, the official transactions in the Han Dynasty had a background of national economic needs.

In addition, personal desires are the most permanent background of official positions. Personal desires include the desires of the monarch and the desires of powerful ministers.

A powerful minister can arrange people to a certain official position, and the powerful minister can achieve certain goals, including but not limited to money. For Emperor Ling of Han, it is important to sit on this "picked" throne, and it is the most important thing to gain more benefits for yourself while in his reign.

In terms of the purpose of the official position transactions in the Han Dynasty, there were many good thoughts in it. However, this method is very harmful and also has high requirements for users' moral requirements and self-discipline ability.

Due to the influence of this deep-rooted cancer, Yuan Shao had no room for resistance. He could either be forced to follow it or rebel. However, the current situation of rebellion was hopeless and could only be buried in his heart.

"But I don't know how much money I need?"

Yuan Shao asked.

Xin Qiji hurriedly replied, "The General is intent. The needs of this palace are all determined by Your Majesty. If Your Majesty only wants a small courtyard, a hundred thousand yuan is enough. But if Your Majesty wants to build an imperial city, it will probably take tens of millions of yuan. But since the General has already agreed, he must be prepared and should report it to himself."

"you……"

Yuan Shao looked at Xin Qiji in surprise. It was obvious that he had a trap for himself again, and it was simply a bottomless pit.

Xin Qiji said again: "The General does not need to worry too much. Your Majesty wants to build a palace, which is a major matter of the country, and it is not a single person's power. The General of the Cavalry has handed over all the Jinyang treasury to the national treasury. Lord Huangfu Song donated 500,000 yuan, Lord Fuwan donated one million yuan, and even Lord Lu Zhi donated 200,000 yuan. As for how much the General is planning to donate, he can send envoys to Jinyang and personally contribute to Your Majesty."

"Goodbye!"

After saying that, Xin Qiji took two followers and left with a swagger, leaving no chance to continue speaking.

Looking at Xin Qiji's back as he left, Yuan Shao's face did not have a trace of joy. In troubled times, this position as a general was like a useless rib. It was tasteless to eat, but it was a pity to abandon it.

"I am going to congratulate the lord for the advance of the general!"

A group of civil and military officials bowed to Yuan Shao in unison, and everyone was beginning to think about their own interests. If Yuan Shao was promoted and made a fortune, as a minister, they would also have a rise in the water.

As for His Majesty’s construction of the palace, they are not considered by them. Anyway, if you don’t take charge of your family, you don’t know how expensive it is.

Yuan Shao waved his hand, signaled everyone to stand up, and forced a smile and said, "You are exempt from gifts. I hope you can help me in the future and do your best to restore the Han Dynasty."

...

Jinyang.

The lights in the cavalry general's mansion were dim, a breeze blew, and the wicks were shaking, and it was light and light.

Five people in the room, Zhao Feng, Du Ruhui, Yue Fei, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei were looking around a map, each with their own opinions.

Zhao Feng took the lead and said, "Just just got the news, the old subordinates of the Xianbei Kebineng rekindled again. This is a major relationship. This general wants to make another northern expedition and formally compete for the desert."

"I'm willing to go!"

Dian Wei took the lead in speaking that the failure in Longmen Mountain in the previous episode became his heartbreak. Now he urgently needs a big battle to prove himself.

Zhao Feng did not respond, but turned his head and looked at Zhao Yun with expectations.

Zhao Yun understood and hurriedly bowed: "I am willing to go there, and I hope the lord will fulfill it!"

Zhao Feng then slowly spoke: "You are both the commanders of the first army, so you can only send one army to you. But it is really hard to decide who to send. You two can talk about your strategy to combat the enemy first."

Dian Wei was stunned, looked at Zhao Yun, and gave a look.

Zhao Yun replied calmly: "The Xianbei civil strife has been in chaos for a long time, and the troops of various tribes are constantly conquering. You can get along with each other from a distance and attack nearby, contact the Xianbei tribes in the eastern part, and capture all the old subordinates of Ke Bineng in one place."

"Far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-f

Du Ruhui stroked his beard and smiled and said, "What Zilong said is that the three Xianbeis are seeking profits from each other. Among them, the Xianbei in the eastern part is the weakest. Whether it is the strong Xianbei in the central part or the powerful old Ke Bi Neng, it will be extremely unfavorable to them. If Zilong sends people to lobby, he will not be rejected. At that time, big things will be accomplished."

"Dian Wei, tell me!"

Zhao Feng asked Dian Wei again.

Dian Wei smiled honestly and then said, "Lord, don't make things difficult for me."

"This time the troops left the desert, we need arbitrary people. I can only send Zilong to the place. Dian Wei, you can convince!"

Zhao Feng spoke slowly.

Dian Wei's face paused, and he had no choice but to nod, but he was unwilling to accept it and his expression was quite strange.

"Zilong, I will ask Your Majesty tomorrow to ask you to lead your troops to fight. This time you are the Han Dynasty, so remember not to lose the style of a great country. You must be decisive in killing and not be ruthless."

Zhao Feng solemnly cared about the matter.

"promise!"

Zhao Yun and Zhengsheng replied that they had made a decision in their hearts and would live up to their responsibilities.
