Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 1177
Back then, the queen gave Qin Lang the thousands of acres of land and some money prepared for the princess, saying that Qin Lang had just separated from Qin Qiong's family and had no property, so she gave Qin Lang the daughter's dowry in advance, which was also considerate. It's not easy for a son-in-law to be young.

Who knew that Qin Lang didn't embezzle half of the money, and even deliberately took out the money and arranged for someone to take care of it. Over the past ten years, the value of these dowry assets has continued to increase, and now it is indeed worth more than ten million yuan, which can be called a fortune huge fortune.

It's just that Qin Lang has always kept the accounts very strict and never embezzled at all. Even when he gave the princess a large sum of money every year, he never touched the money.

Now that the princess is officially married, Qin Lang still said the same thing, the money is still the princess's dowry, it is her personal property, and it will be left to the children born to the princess in the future.

In fact, Qin Lang is not only like this to the princess, the other women who marry him, no matter whether they have their own private money before, Qin Lang will give them a sum of money every year, and then arrange people to help them manage the business, money begets money, Earning interest at a high rate, buying land and buying shops, after many years, each concubine has a large amount of private money under the name of the concubine, which is counted as their dowry.

And even if the wives and concubines are all rich and small, Qin Lang will still pay to take care of the family. In addition, from his wife to concubines, to the stewards and servants below, everyone still has a monthly payment.

They receive money on a monthly basis according to their level.

Food and clothing are all covered by the family, and money is paid on a monthly basis. There is also money saved during the New Year and holidays, so there is no need to move their private money at all.

"Then why don't I pay for the family's expenses in the future, including the monthly bills for the entire family!" The princess proposed with Qin Lang in his arms.

"It's been rumored that I, Qin Lang, have a net worth of over [-] million, and I'm as rich as a country. How can I use the princess and wife to help with the family? Besides, the government's expenses are actually not much."

"Let me do it."

"In this way, you will be responsible for all the household expenses in our mansion, including the monthly money for the superiors and subordinates, but I will put the money into the cabinet in the mansion on a regular basis, and you will be responsible for managing it."

Since the princess is now the head of the house, Qin Lang felt that she had to be respected. Of course, letting her manage the money only meant that she was the head of the house.

"Well, I'll arrange someone to manage the accounts, and Saburo will arrange someone to manage the money."

"You can arrange it together. Just remember to separate the money and account, so it's not easy to make mistakes."

The princess smiled and kissed Qin Lang, "I think the monthly money should go up, Sister Yuxiao and the others only have [-] guan a month, and some other concubines only have [-] guan, and there are still [-] guan, too few It's a little bit. And the young ladies in our family only have ten monthly money, which is too little."

The Qin family's concubines are also classified into ranks, such as Yuxiao, Yu Xuanji, Yang Chongniang, Princess Tuyuhun, and the two twins of Yifu's family are of higher status, and the status of giving birth to a son for the Qin family is higher. The status of a daughter is inferior, if it is a childless status, it is of course even lower.

Another point is that those who had a high status before marriage will of course have a higher status when they come in, while some who were originally prostitutes, maidservants, or slaves will have a lower status after they come in.

According to the court's formal etiquette system, the highest status of the female family members of the Qin family is of course the first wife Li Lizhi.

Below her, there are several concubines, the sisters who were married by the princess, the daughters of the eldest grandson Wuji, the daughter of the eldest grandson Shunde, the daughter of Gao Shilian, the daughter of Li Daozong, all the daughters of princes and princes.

For example, the famous Miyue in history, she was a princess of Chu State, and later married into Qin State, but in fact, at that time, it was the princess Mi Shu who was born as a descendant who married King Huiwen of Qin, and then Miyue, a princess who was born as a concubine, married as a dowry of the same clan , married and became a concubine.

The concubine has a higher status, because the family background is generally higher, the system in the pre-Qin period, the concubine is usually a sister of the same clan, or the daughter of the monarch is married, and the dowry of a scholar-bureaucrat is a concubine, so after the death of the concubine, the concubine can be a substitute.

After the concubine is the concubine. The concubine is generally a concubine married by a woman from a good family.The laws of the Tang Dynasty strictly stipulated that the good and the poor should not marry, that is, a good man cannot marry a bitch, but he can be bought as a concubine.At the same time, a concubine cannot become a wife. Even if the wife dies, the most favored concubine is not qualified to be a wife. If she violates the law, it is invalid and will be severely punished.

Of course, a concubine is higher than a maidservant, even if the maidservant is lucky, she cannot be a concubine.

The maidservants who serve the bedroom are often called concubines, but their official status is still maidservants, and they can be bought and sold.

Under the maidservants, there are also prostitutes. A wealthy family has domestic prostitutes at home. These prostitutes are not only used to serve the master, but also to entertain guests.

Therefore, in a wealthy family, the order of status of the women in the backyard is wife, concubine, concubine, maid, and prostitute.

For example, Yuxiao was originally a well-known girls' school secretary in Chang'an, a red-haired girl who sold her skills but not her body. Later, Qin Lang turned her around and accepted her as a concubine. Later, she gave birth to a son for Qin Lang, who was a concubine.Then because Qin Lang was favored by the emperor and made great achievements repeatedly, his concubine son was also favored and made a nobleman.

Then the imperial court granted Qin Jun's biological mother, Yuxiao, a royal order. Yuxiao has the official rank of a foreign wife, and of course her status is also noble, so she also became a concubine.

The imperial court has strict regulations on the number of wives for noble officials, and there can be a corresponding number of wives for corresponding grades. Qin Lang has a lot of wives because he has a high status and is favored by the emperor.

His previous five sons all obtained the title of Duke Marquis and the title of Inspector. Therefore, the concubines of the five concubines and their mothers were also conferred the title of Concubine.

Princess Tuyuhun, the two princesses of the Yifu tribe, and Princess Futu, etc., were also granted concubine and royal orders by the imperial court because of their noble status.

However, those who have no imperial orders are still concubines, those who were originally slaves are concubines, and those who are born as kabuki and dancing girls are concubines.

"Sanlang, I plan to increase the monthly money for everyone in the mansion, starting with Sanlang."

"I don't need it."

"Saburo is the head of the family, so of course I have to. I've thought about it, one thousand two hundred per month."

"This is equivalent to the property of a middle-class family, isn't it too much?"

"Not much, our family has a big business, and Saburo must have a lot of expenses, so let's set this amount first, and if the expenses are not enough, we can pay extra."

"Mrs. Cui of the Eastern Mansion, pay a monthly filial piety of one thousand guan."

Qin Lang didn't expect that she would still want to go to the Duke of Qi's mansion. The Cui family is the successor of Qin Qiong. money.But the princess still wants to go there, one thousand guan in a month, twelve thousand guan in a year, this is a lot of money.

But the princess said that although there is no shortage of money over there, this is the wish of the younger generation after all.

"Sanlang's brothers and sisters, as long as they don't have a family, they should also be given a monthly payment. How about [-] guan per month for Xiao Lang and [-] guan per month for Xiao Niang?"

Qin Xun now inherits the Dukedom of Qi, and also welcomes the eldest grandson Wuji's daughter, while the fourth son Qin Li married the daughter of the eldest princess consort Feng Shaoshi, and the sixth son married the daughter of the warrior Xun. The younger brother was not married, and among the younger sisters, Wu Niang who was born on the first line married into the East Palace as Prince Liang Di, and the rest of the grown-ups were all married to noble relatives, and there were also a few who didn't get married.

"Those concubines in the Eastern Mansion, give [-] guan to concubines, [-] guan to concubines, [-] guan to concubines, and [-] guan to concubines, what do San Lang think?"

After Qin Qiong passed away, Qin Lang divided the family on behalf of the brothers and sisters. Each of the brothers and sisters had a share. Those concubines also made proper arrangements. Those who had children were divided into at least a few thousand money and some land stores. Those who had no children, Qin Lang who was willing to leave also gave a sum of money to send, and those who were willing to stay also Also divided some money and farmland for the elderly.

With these, they don't have to worry about food and clothing at all, not to mention that the Duke of Qi's mansion will still give them some support, but the princess is also filial, Qin Lang is of course willing to support.

As for whether it was too much, Qin Lang didn't care too much. A few hundred coins can be equivalent to a family property of an ordinary wealthy farmer, but to the current Qin family, this is nothing.

Li Zhi was born in the imperial palace, and the emperor's internal treasury has been full these years, so the palace expenses are also very generous. For example, when the Supreme Emperor was still alive, Li Shimin gave the emperor [-] guan a month, and the sheep, cows, and pigs were returned. There is a special quantity supply, not to mention silk cloth, etc.

The Da Nei and the Eastern Palace also have their own fixed amount of money, and the empress, concubines, princesses, and princes each have corresponding money according to their grades, and they are all quite a lot.

The princess has set this now, considering that it cannot be surpassed, so she has set less.

"Then what about our house?"

"Here in the West Mansion, I think so. Yuxiao, sister Youwei and other wives who have children will also be given [-] guan a month, and then a subsidy of [-] guan will be given to each child. Those who have no children will be given [-] guan per month."

"A concubine will give [-] guan a month, and a child who has children will add [-] guan."

······
The monthly payment is the same as that of the aunt in the East Mansion, but it is more for those with children.

"What about yourself?"

"I'll be fine with [-] guan per month."

"You are the head lady of the West Mansion, you can't be less than Mrs. Cui of the East Mansion, at least you have to pay a thousand per month."

"Miss Cui is an elder, I should be a head lower than her."

"No, listen to my one thousand penny month."

After arguing for a while, Qin Lang suppressed the princess, and she gasped for breath and had to disarm and surrender.

In the end, the husband and wife lay on the bed and talked carefully, and set a new standard for the monthly money in the mansion. From now on, Wei Guogong's mansion will not only distribute it to the people in the mansion, but also send a copy to Qi Guogong's mansion.But over there, it is only sent to Cui Shi and concubines, as well as young lords and young ladies who are not married, and the servants don't care.

On the side of Duke Wei's mansion, not only the concubines, young ladies and gentlemen all had a big monthly salary increase, but also the stewards and servants under him also had their monthly salary increased accordingly.

The lowest monthly salary for handymen has risen to three guan, and food, lodging, clothes, shoes and socks are also included. It can be said that the salary is quite good, even better than that of ordinary frontier soldiers.

A simple calculation shows that the monthly payment is nearly [-] guan.
