The issuance of yanglianyin does not necessarily bring about the incorruptibility of officials. Only with generous salary and no corresponding implementation supervision system, "being honest and clean" can only be empty talk.
Only by relying on the emperor's will to rule can the Qing Dynasty's yanglianyin system be effective, and it is worthy of the name under the strict implementation and supervision of Yong Zhengdi. However, from the late Qianlong period, due to the relaxation of the system and the shortage of funds, Yang Lian Bank was not worthy of its name, and its function was only weakened with the decline of the Qing Dynasty.
Extended data:
Generally speaking, Yin is usually 10 to 100 times this salary. Guangxu's "Qingquan Temple Example" records that the governor 13000 to 20000, the governor 10000 to 15000, the political envoy 5000 to 9000, and the judge 3000 to 8400. For example, Taiwan Province Governor Liu Mingchuan's annual salary is 155 Liang, while Yang Lian Silver is 10000 Liang.
The annual salary of the company commanders in Taiwan Province Province is 67 taels of silver, the military gives 144 taels of silver, and Yang Lianyin gives 1500 taels of silver. "The company's annual salary, Ma Gan, Yang Lian Yin 449 Liang, total salary, Ma Gan, Yang Lian Yin 1922 Liang, 36 Liang kept outside, 952 Liang per soldier. . ?
Yin did not completely solve the livelihood problem of officials. The average Beijing official does not have enough money income, but relies on the ice respect and charcoal respect of local officials. Li Ciming said in his diary: "Beijing officials can't live alone. When they go to Beijing, they all test each other's friendship and want to climb up." ?
After Zeng Guofan served as imperial academy's review, he mentioned in his book: "Men's situation is getting more and more embarrassing, and they just have money to continue. I hope that foreign officials will send charcoal in winter, but I can barely support it this year. It will be even harder to plan next year. " . ?
On the other hand, it helps officials to be extravagant. After Zhang was promoted from a Taoist priest to a provincial judge, the price of an audience in Beijing was: "If you don't respect the Minister of Military Affairs, you will receive 400 gold each, and the competition and the court will not accept it.
Zhang Jing, the upper class and the lower class are each 16 gold. If there is friendship or communication, it ranges from 100 to 80 gold. Six ministers, the general is virtuous and hundred gold, and the assistant minister is big and nine and fifty gold, in descending order; Home, the same year and a good family, it is possible to socialize, * * * with more than 15,200 farewell "?
