The Dual Limitations of Replenishing Treasury Funds and Punishing Corruption:The Change and Implementation of the Statute of"Completing the Loot and Reducing the Penalty"in the Qing Dynasty
The statute of"completing the loot and reducing the penalty"is unique to the legal system of the Qing Dynasty.In the trial of embezzling warehouse money and grain,internal robbery and bribery cases,due to the divergent content,the statute of"completing the loot and reducing the penalty"shows different kind of judicial patterns.In Qing Dynasty,the local fiscal deficit was serious,and it was not realistic to punish cor-ruption strictly and replenish treasury funds when the fiscal taxation and national management system remained unchanged.The statute of"completing the loot and reducing the penalty"is relatively flexible.In the game field created by the statute of"completing the loot and reducing the penalty",the final outcome of the officials who commit the stolen goods,the officials who pursue the case,the officials who accept the trial,and the associat-ed parties can not be accurately predicted,and the resulting outcome is that neither the complete stolen goods nor the punishment of corruption can achieve stable results.Although in some cases corruption was punished as well as stolen goods recovering,but from the perspective of the country as a whole,both have failed to achieve the intended purpose.The corruption caused by micro-system defects must be adjusted and changed on the premise of considering the overall political system of the country in order to give full play to the efficacy of both,otherwise the institutional root of corruption will be difficult to eradicate.
