Corruption of Ahema in Yuan Dynasty

Ahma (? -1282) Yuan Shizu designed the "financial management" minister. Ahema was a very important figure in the early Yuan Dynasty. Starting from Wokuotai, Emperor Taizong of the Yuan Dynasty, the finance of the Yuan Dynasty mainly relied on "Semu people". Ahema is one of the representatives. He designed various schemes for Yuan Shizu to plunder people's wealth, such as clearing accounts, monopolizing patents and issuing money indiscriminately. Needless to say, when searching the imperial court cruelly, it must also be searching oneself cruelly, so Ahema became a cruel official in this sense, which aroused strong opposition from the Han Palace and the Han people. In the incomplete records of Biography of Yuan, there are words such as "taking advantage of the boss's greed" and "taking bribes in domestic currency and showing punishment outside". Two skins were found in his house, and other historical records made this character fully qualified for this book. In addition, it is worth noting that Wang Zhu is described in detail in his biography, which shows the tradition that ancient martyrs sacrificed their lives for justice. Ahema, Hui nationality. I don't know the details of his entry into the official career. Yuan Shizu was unified for three years before he was appointed as the Secretary of the Central Secretariat, as well as various transshipment ambassadors, and specially appointed him to handle finance and taxation. In Ahma, Sai-jo ordered the plan to be divided into several parts and announced the Oracle to the transportation department. Next year, because there are ironmaking equipment in Zhou Jun and Xuzhou, please ask the court to grant a license to revitalize the smelting interests. Sai-jo upgraded Kaiping Prefecture to Shangdu and appointed Ahema as Tongzhi Kaiping Prefecture, in charge of the left and right parts of Zhongshu. At Ahema's request, Ma Yuehe, the minister of rites, was appointed to be responsible for managing 3,000 households without registered permanent residence and strengthening the ironmaking industry. Every year, 200,000 kilograms of iron1237,000, 200,000 pieces of iron casting and forging farm tools and 40,000 stones of grain are turned over. In the first month of the first year of Yuan Dynasty, Ahema said, "People in Taiyuan cook illicit salt and sell it across borders. People everywhere covet its cheap salt and rush to buy it, so the official salt in Jiezhou can't be sold, and they only pay 7520 taels of silver in salt tax every year. Please ask the court to increase Taiyuan salt tax by 5200 yuan from this year. All families, including monks, Taoist priests, non-commissioned officers and craftsmen, should share the salt tax, and private salt can be used by the people according to their own convenience. " In autumn and November this year, the left and right parts of the book collar were revoked and merged into the book collar province. Ama was appointed as a librarian and promoted to Doctor Rong Lu. In the first month of the third year of Zhiyuan, the State Administration Department was established, and Ahema also served as the affairs of the State Administration Department in the capacity of Pingzhang. Later, the Ministry of State Affairs said, "Buy sheep locally with the thin, rotten and unusable cloth used in Tokyo every year. If the gold and silver of Zhending and Shuntian are not up to standard, they must be smelted again. Don't be afraid of asbestos produced in Chishan. Weave it into cloth and don't burn it. Please send officials to mine it. " He also said: "The country's expenditure is countless. After the emperor returned to Beijing this year, he has spent 400,000 pieces of paper money. I'm afraid it won't be enough next year, so I'll save it. " In November, the Minister of State said, "There are 160,000 Jin of silver mines in Huanzhou Prefecture, and 25 Jin of silver and tin can be obtained for every 100 Jin. The cost of mining can be paid by selling tin. " Sai-jo all agreed to the request of the Ministry of National Affairs. In the first month of the seventh year of Yuan Dynasty, Shangshu Province was established, and the Ministry of State Administration was abolished. Ama saved trouble for Shangshu. Ahema is a very wise person who speaks well, and he is very conceited about his utility and benefits. People all praised his ability. Sai-jo was eager to make the country rich, so he tried to get Ahema to do things, which was very successful. I saw grandma arguing with the prime minister about truth and history. Grandma had reason to make others give in again and again, so she expressed surprise at her talent, granted him political power and obeyed everything he said, but she didn't know that his autocratic willfulness was getting worse. Prime Minister Antong endured for a long time and said to Sai-jo, "My lieutenants recently said that all ministers, the Privy Council and Yushitai should report to the emperor according to the usual system, and major events can only be reported with the consent of lieutenants and others, which has been approved by the imperial edict. Now everything in Shangshu Province is played directly, which seems to violate my previous report to the emperor. " Sai-jo said, "You are absolutely right. Is grandma afraid to do this because I trust him very much? It is wrong for him not to discuss with you. He should do as you say. " Antong went on to say, "Zuo Cheng and Xu Heng thought that many of the subordinate officials appointed by Ahema were improper, but they were instructed by the imperial edict to consult the Chinese Book Department and announced that if they didn't give them, they might have other plans in the future. It should be tested whether the person he appointed has the ability, and it will naturally be understood after a long time. " Sai-jo thinks what Antong said makes sense. In May this year, Shanxi Province requested a general survey of the country's registered permanent residence. Later, Yushitai thought that locusts were being caught everywhere, and the people were working hard, so the census should be postponed slightly. So I won't do it. /view/82030.htm
