Who is the biggest corrupt official in China's history, not comparable to nave, with a net worth of 8 trillion RMB?
This man is Liu Jin. At that time, the imperial soldiers in Liu Jin's family always exceeded gold120,000 and silver1580,000. Although the amount of gold owned by Liu Jin's family at that time was far below the proper level, his family collected much more gold than that of Xiao Shenyang. According to the proportion of gold and silver at that time, it can be calculated that Liu Jin is actually richer than Xiao Shenyang. When it comes to corrupt officials in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, everyone's first impression may be Xiao Shenyang. At that time, Emperor Jiaqing copied the house in Xiao Shenyang, with a total of more than 65,438+600,000 gold and a lot of silver. If we convert these properties in small Shenyang at that time into modern currency, we can find that there were 80 billion RMB in small Shenyang at that time. This 80 billion is undoubtedly a huge number. According to the purchasing power of the country at that time, these properties in small Shenyang were far equal to the national treasury income of the Qing Dynasty 15. So it makes sense to say that small Shenyang is as rich as an enemy. Liu Jin was from Shaanxi, and his family was actually very poor at that time. So in order to make himself richer, he chose to enter the palace as a eunuch at the age of 6. He thought that his talent would not stand out in the imperial examination, so he found another way to stay with these eunuchs and dignitaries for his own benefit. Because the monarch was only 14 years old at that time, and it was time to have fun. At that time, Liu Jin served the monarch every day and played games with him. It is precisely because Liu Jin served the monarch every day that he won the trust of the monarch.

At that time, after gaining the trust of the monarch, Liu Jin held more and more power in his own hands, and began to collect money crazily after having power. And his method of seeking personal gain is to accept bribes from the following people. According to historical records, foreign officials at that time had to get Liu Jin's consent if they wanted to see the monarch. At that time, these officials were also very enlightened. When they meet Liu Jin, they will give Liu Jin some money, hoping that Liu Jin can help speak well of himself in front of the monarch.
