The Northern Wei Guanli Income And Monitoring Mechanism

This subject is a special one which will probe to discuss the economic and liv- ing conditions of the government officials and their corresponding political rnea- sures. Its purpose is as followed: First,to reveal the real resource of the officialsconomy and its relation with the politicization of that time. Second to recognize the success and failure of the administration and supervi- sion that influenced the officials, earnings, stimultaneonsly reveal that academic value and the meaning for today . We want to reach the two purposes by systematic study of relative problems. It's expected to point out that the officials'earnings of Beiwei dynesty experi- enced a process from irregular to regular one . All this is the result from the influ- ence of the controlled nation and society. The fact is that in earlier stage the offi- cials had no salary, which had no rolation with the financial situation of their state,but was the result of the dominator's traditional habit. In that time, the resource of the officials'earnings were unfrequent bestow, plunder,salary ,which had a big distance from the factal living conditions. 憀抙is is why corruption was permitted. All that was relative with the institution of that time. Upto the dominant periods of Emperor Xian Wen, Xiao Wen ,salary regula- tion was carried out , which not only made officials acquire varieties of material salary such as unpredented silks, millets,earth and labours, and solved the long- exsisting essential problem of the regulation of officialorruption, but also made this reguiatoin be a token that the dominators of Beiwei Dynesty attached their- selves to nomadic economy, then gradually changed into agricultural one. It also became the base of Xiao Wen reforming his regulatoin. It is just because of these that the regulation could stand in the forest of political institutions at that time. It made a great role. Under that regulation ,the main parts of official earnings were material. And there was different between central and locational officials, high and low ones, even more serious than other dynesties in that time. All that reflected the real ex- sistence of the hirerachy and national dividing line. As for the nobility, their salaries from feud were limited, which indicates that the economical meaning.of nobel was far lower than that of politicition, However, after the salary regulation come into being, the officials'earnings were basi cally protected, and the tradational principle ofuyidaigeng?(means earning salary from government instead of gaining by themselves) played a role. 4. The corresponding measure that kept officials from corruption and the super- vision mechanism were also gradually perfected. All that indicates that the economic development and social advancement should be two premises of ensuring the officials'earnings and keeping their hands clean, and the perfected regulation was the political ensure to restrain the behavior of the officialsehaviors. Above -mentioned are the realistic enlightenment from the project we are studing.
