Chapter 1085 (1/2)
”How much can a salary increase? From 50 Liang to 100 Liang, it is only 50 Liang more in a year. I'm afraid it's a delusion to make the court officials shut up
Zhou Shian shook his head repeatedly, believing that the news of sanyuangong was not reliable.
Raising salaries is not attractive unless it is increased ten times in one breath.
Why?
Because the salaries of the officials in the Zhou Dynasty were very low.
For example, a seven grade official's salary plus rice, converted down, a year is absolutely not a hundred Liang.
It's not easy to live in Beijing.
One year's income is one hundred Liang. To be a Beijing official, I'm afraid it will be a beggar.
What to do?
One is ink addiction.
The second is to rely on family support.
When you become an official, you start with Jinshi.
The family is free from taxes and corvee, and can accept contributions.
As long as the courage is big enough, the family can get rid of poverty and become rich in a year or two.
The family provided money for the Jingguan, who protected the family as much as possible.
That's one thing.
A little more salary can't make officials shut their mouths.
”There must be other compensation to make all the officials in the court shut up.”
Zhou Shian was very determined.
He was a serious official, or a Beijing official.
Among the three, he had the shortest time to leave officialdom and the longest time to be an official. It means that he knows more about the urine of court officials.
Without sufficient interests, officials cannot keep their mouths shut.
Three Yuan Gong stroked his beard and nodded, ”brother Zhou is right. We might as well guess what kind of compensation does the empress give the officials so that they can shut up collectively. ”
”Is it the shares of Sihai Huanyu?”
”It should not be.”
”It can't be the Shao Fu's share.”
”Certainly not the Shao Fu.”
”I think about it, but the root is still in the land.”
”What do you mean by that, brother Yang?”
Sanyuan Gong held the chess pieces, closed his eyes and thought deeply, then shook his head again, ”all of them are wishful thinking.”
”What do you want, brother Yang. It doesn't hurt to talk about it, even if it's just wishful thinking. ”
Sanyuan Gong waved his hand, ”don't say, don't say. If you have acquaintances in the court, why don't you ask the officials in the court? ”
”No one will tell the truth.” The number one scholar of sun hit his mouth, and he was disgusted.
Zhou Shian laughed, ”the second batch of shares of Shaofu grain company have been purchased, and the price has soared by 100 mu. This is a good thing. Of course, those officials who are in charge of it will not disclose the information in advance.”
The number one scholar stroked his beard, ”they are all mercenary villains. This kind of person is in charge of the court. I don't know what it will be like in the future. If the emperor and empress go on like this, they are afraid of the death of the people and the government. ”
Three Yuan Gong ha ha ha a smile, ”the matter of people's death and government's rest, brother sun can rest assured. The promulgation of the land law, his Highness the king of Qi, contributed a lot. It can be seen that his royal highness supports this law
”According to brother Yang's statement, the rank of his Royal Highness has been determined?” Zhou Shian asked curiously.
Three Yuan Gong slightly nodded, ”no accident, is the king of Qi.”
”So, I'm relieved,” he said
Three Yuan Gong laughed, and then said: ”the king of Qi was taught by the empress with her hands. He has extraordinary knowledge and is proficient in both literature and martial arts. Brother sun should take a long-term view. We are now in an era of great change, a great change that has never happened in a thousand years. The society has been a new face in the past ten or twenty years. Are you not excited? I was so excited that I couldn't sleep all night. ”
With a smile, sun pointed to Sanyuan and said, ”brother Yang, do you have a new book to publish?”
