南朝时,地方官吏收入较为丰厚,为此,不少京官以家贫为由要求出任地方官,在离任或请假返乡时则会带回或多或少的还资。由于制度的不完善,除了俸禄之外,官吏还通过各种方式获取财富。有的官吏比较清廉,而有的官吏专以营蓄财物为业,结果造成了官吏还资数额差距较大的现象。 In the Southern Dynasties, local officials received more lucrative incomes. Therefore, many Beijing officials demanded to serve as local officials on the grounds of poverty and returned more or less their capital when they left their home or on leave. As the system is not perfect, in addition to the salary, officials also obtain wealth through various means. Some officials are relatively clean, and some officials specialize in the business of property, resulting in a large gap between the amount of official capital.
