"Sell ​​positions."

After the second disasters of partisan prohibitions，such proclamation has been issued by the government of the Han dynasty.

"It would be apocryphal."

Nobody did not believe it at first.
But this was the fact.

It was the subject of buying and selling.

After pay tax of a fixed amount to the government，remainder became his revenue.

Tax revenue, bribe.
Therefore，They were able to expect a lot of money.
Along with this，price of local officials was higher than the center officials of the same status.

Positions of the center have been bought as honorary position.
Such cases there were many.

By contrast，reason for buy the local official positions.
Its purpose was make money completely.
　
"There is no money?
All right！We will loan the funds."
