Chapter 1091
The soldiers behind the Xiongnu King all spoke with anger.
The Hun King also had a gloomy expression. In his opinion, Qin Yu was too arrogant. Even if he really had talent, he should be respectful in front of him, tell him everything he knew, and give him good advice instead of pretending in front of him!
"Boy! If you can't convince me today, I'll blame you for being polite!"
The Hun King said coldly.
"I've noticed that your Xiongnu official system is completely modeled after that of Daliang. However, your anti-corruption system is incredibly foolish. Have you ever considered how officials, without money, can serve the people?"
"Why do they become officials? Isn't it just to live a good life?"
"If they live worse than the common people, then what authority do they have? Most importantly, if you keep them broke, wouldn't they turn around and join your army if you give them some benefits?"
"That's why the silver in the water jar disappeared, and you, the king, had no idea."
Qin Yu said in a deep voice.
His words hit the nail on the head. The Xiongnu king, who had originally felt superior because of his clean government, was stunned for a moment.
"this......"
The Hun king wanted to open his mouth to refute, but after opening his mouth for a long time, he couldn't utter a word.
If I were an official of the Xiongnu, with an annual salary of only a few dozen taels of silver, and someone gave me a hundred taels of silver at this time, I would definitely follow them. If they gave me more, I would definitely not listen to the emperor!
After realizing this, the Xiongnu king was very upset!
He looked at Fang Yun, no longer showing any arrogance. Instead, he said humbly, "Then how can we change the current situation of the Xiongnu and save them from this dire situation?"
"It's very simple! You will issue an imperial decree right now. No matter how serious the crimes committed by the Xiongnu officials in the past, they will be forgiven. No matter how much silver they have embezzled, it will all be theirs, and the court will not ask them for a single cent!"
"Also, from now on, official salaries will be increased. Seventh-rank officials will receive an annual salary of 200 taels of silver. All salaries will be increased tenfold. Furthermore, each year, local governments will rank officials based on the taxes collected. The top ten will have the opportunity to be promoted to higher positions!"
"At the same time, a dividend system will be implemented. That is, if the court still has a surplus at the end of the year, a large portion will be shared equally with the officials!"
"As a result, local officials will inevitably pay taxes faithfully, or even in excess, in order to gain promotion opportunities. With the dividend system, this money is tied to officials at all levels, so who gets more and who gets less will become a problem!"
"Officials will also supervise each other, which can greatly ensure that this money will eventually enter the national treasury!"
"Furthermore, as long as the silver enters the treasury, if anyone dares to touch it, at the end of the year, you only need to fly into a rage and order a thorough investigation. Once the silver is found, it must be distributed intact among the officials. I guarantee that anyone who embezzled the treasury's silver will be brought to justice for all eighteen generations!"
Qin Yu said in a deep voice.
What he said can solve the biggest problem facing the Huns in a short period of time!
However, there is also a drawback, that is, if it is not properly controlled, officials from various state governments will inevitably exploit the people harshly!
However, he would not tell the Xiongnu king the method to solve this problem, because it would be difficult for him to do it even if he told him. It would be better for him to wait until he conquered the Xiongnu before implementing it!
