What happened to "yanglianyin" in Qing dynasty?

The system of raising cheap silver began in the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty and was implemented after the fire was returned to the people. There are certain standards for supporting and distributing officials' pension funds. First of all, it takes into account the status of officials and the complexity of affairs. In addition, other factors are also taken into account: First, considering the situation that officials accepted bad rules in the past; The second is to take care of whether officials have other sources of funds besides yanglianyin; The third is to take care of the rich and poor areas where officials are located. However, because the system of yanglianyin in Yongzheng period was still in its infancy, the amount of yanglianyin of local officials not only varied greatly, but also changed greatly. For example, the governor's yanglian silver in Yunnan was initially set at 17000 taels, then reduced to 12000 taels, and then reduced to 10550 taels; Yang Lianyin, the governor of Sichuan, was initially set at 12000, then increased to 18864, and then decreased to 10000. The governors of Shandong and Henan raised more than 22,000 yuan, higher than some governors. Then there are many adjustments. Others, such as governors, political envoys, provincial judges and even state and county officials, have uneven and different pensions. In the 12th year of Qianlong (1747), it was adjusted nationwide and customized. After the mid-Qing Dynasty, the number of pension funds for provincial officials was roughly as follows:

Yanglianyin is far higher than the standard of salary. The higher the official, the richer the yanglianyin. The salary of a governor is 83.87- 129.03 times higher than that of an official, 64.52-96.77 times higher for a governor, 32.26-58.07 times higher for an envoy, 23.08-64.95 times higher for a procurator and 14.29-57.438+04 times higher for an official. The amount of money raised by the sheriff is between 1000-4000, which is 9.52-38.09 times higher than the regular salary; Yang Lianyin's well-known amount is between 500 and 2000, which is 6.25-25 times higher than the regular salary; The amount of Yang Lian silver in a magistrate's county is between 400 and 2259, which is 8.89-50.2 times higher than the official salary. Tongzhi's pension amount is between 400- 1600, which is 5-20 times higher than the regular salary. For most miscellaneous officials, the ratio of pension to salary is low. Take Hubei as an example. The Chief Secretary's official residence comes from Liupin, and his pension is 80 taels, which is only 1.33 times higher than the regular salary. According to the inspector's experience, officials are in charge of seven products, and Yang Lianyin is also 80 Liang, which is only 1.78 times higher than the salary; State judges rank seventh, and Yang Lianyin is 80- 100, which is only 1.78-2.22 times higher than the regular salary; The government experience ranks in the top eight, and Yang Lianyin is also 80- 100, which is only 2-2.5 times higher than the regular salary; The county master book ranks first in the nine categories, and Yang Lianyin is 60 Liang, which is only 2.42 times higher than the official salary.

In some special local administrative departments, their officials also support the maintenance of cheap silver, such as 6000 taels for river governors (this is Donghe, which is in the charge of Zhili Governor, and silver 1000 taels), 2000-4000 taels for river managers, 500-800 taels for river managers and 400-700 taels for river managers. Another example is Liang 9520, the governor of grain transportation, and Liang Tongzhi and Tongguan 100-492. Another example is the salt transport envoy 2000-5000, the salt channel 2000-4240, the transport envoy 2000-2500, the supervisor 2000-2400, the transport deputy 2000, 844-3760, 9 17-2700, and the salt is. The pension of these officials is also much higher than the regular salary. If the salt carrier belongs to the third class, its nourishing silver is 15.39-38.46 times of the regular salary; The salt method is the right four products, and the yanglianyin is 19.05-40.38 times of the normal salary; The supervisor knows that it is the right five products, and Yang Lianyin is 25-30 times the normal salary. (So positions like salt officials are also very profitable)

Part-time workers also pay a certain amount of Yang Lianyin. If the Governor of Zhili is in charge of the North River, it will add Yang Lian Silver 1000. Another example is Suhuai Yanghai Road and Huainan Salt Affairs, plus Yang Lian Silver 750 and Huaibei Salt Affairs, plus 1000; Xuzhou road is also a salt affair, with 500 taels of silver; For roads and salt affairs in Changzhen, add 250 taels of silver. For example, the governor of Jiangnan also manages salt affairs. In the twelfth year of Yongzheng (1734), it was approved to add 3,200 pieces of Yang Lian silver, and it was thirty-nine years after Qianlong (1774), which was also a "letter to delete the people's deposits". Of course, there are also part-time jobs but not cheap ones at the same time. For example, the governor of Zhejiang Province is in charge of salt administration in Zhejiang Province, which means "no need to give it again, and the money saved is returned to the public". Even those who do part-time jobs and adopt cheap ones receive far less money than the standard.

Wu Zhi also has Yang Lianyin, which is generally not high. For example, the garrison general of the Eight Banners 1500-2000, the commander and deputy generals1000, and the city guard100-200; Qingying prefect 2000 beams, general 1500 beams, lieutenant 800-900 beams, general 500-600 beams, guerrilla 400-500 beams, commander 260-300 beams, garrison 200-240 beams, commander 1000 beams+020 beams. etc

Yanglianyin is mainly used for foreign officials. Beijing officials implement the system of "generous salary" and "double salary", but they are still poorer than foreign officials. So this is one of the reasons why Beijing officials are more willing to release them.
