Among Liangshan heroes, why is Song Jiang the biggest corrupt criminal?

When Bian Xiao recently read Water Margin, he found that Liangshan heroes are not a group of heroes. Many of them have robbed their homes and hurt one side. Later, when I went to Liangshan, I still robbed people for a living. For example, an important reason why Shuihu attacked Zhujiazhuang was to rob Zhujiazhuang of grain and grass. In the Water Margin, there is no record of paying salaries to Liangshan heroes. There is no doubt that Liangshan's richest man finally belongs to Song Jiang. Song Jiang is actually the biggest corrupt criminal in Liangshan.

Song Jiang's corruption didn't begin in Liangshan, but was reflected as early as when Song Jiang was still working in Yuncheng County. We all know that Song Jiang's life is very luxurious. Yan Poxi, an entertainer in the Jianghu, can buy a house, which is enough to witness the luxury of Sung River. As a small official at the grass-roots level, Song Jiang's salary cannot be particularly high. In addition, Song Jiang is an adult and a well-known celebrity, and it is unlikely that he will buy fame with his family's money. Because ... because it is usually unsuccessful to gain fame by eating old people. So where did Song Jiang get the money? The answer is corruption. Although Song Jiang is a small official, he manages such an important job as collecting taxes. This created an excellent opportunity for Song Jiang to collect money. In feudal society, these small officials used their power to do countless bad things. Song Jiang's main income comes from corruption.

Later, Sung River lost his job because he killed Yan Poxi and was forced to flee. Later, Song Jiang was sent to Jiangzhou and met with Li Kui jy and Dai Zhong. Three people eat together in Xunyang Building, and Li Kui jy, the three of them, drink and eat mutton. Bian Xiao roughly calculated that these people spent several hundred yuan after eating a meal. Then I'm afraid all this money is from Song Jiang. Song Jiang has no formal job at this time, and the money spent is probably also the proceeds of corruption.

Later, Song Jiang went to Liangshan and became the boss of water margin. Song Jiang was even more unscrupulous and embezzled a lot of money. You can see it from a small matter. Song Jiang always wanted to please the imperial court, but because there was no way, he thought of some crooked ways. He heard that the emperor had a lover named Li Shishi outside the palace, so he wanted to get close to her. This Li Shishi is a famous prostitute in Beijing, and the price is naturally not low. In order to impress her, Song Jiang gave her 100 gold the first time they met. This 120 gold is equivalent to 450,000 yuan in today's currency. It can also be seen that Song Jiang spends a lot of money. At this time, she has no salary, how can she get so much money? This must be the proceeds of corruption.
