Chapter 606 Chen Consort Confucianism Confucianism (Part [-])
Chapter 20 Consort Chen's Confucian Confucianism (One more update)
Those who stand at the top of the pyramid will always be the ones with the highest income.In Chen Ying's original workshop, six first-class craftsmen each received an annual salary of 47 guan, [-] second-class craftsmen had an annual salary of [-] guan, and [-] third-class craftsmen received an annual salary of [-] guan.

With 66 of them, they can get 8000 and [-] guan.

The annual salary of first-class craftsmen is [-] guan, the annual salary of second-class craftsman is [-] guan, and the annual salary of third-class craftsman is [-] guan.The annual salary of first-class craftsmen is [-] guan, and the annual salary of second-class craftsman is [-] guan.The third-class craftsman has an annual salary of only ten guan.

However, there are more than [-] general workers, and their annual salary is almost [-] yuan. The gap is not usually small.At this time, Li Yuan felt that Chen Ying's steel industry was a bit hot.

Scholars have to study hard for several years, and then work as officials in the palace or prefectures and counties for several years before they have the opportunity to be appointed as the county magistrate. It takes more than ten years.However, as the magistrate of Qipin County, all the salaries, salaries, employees, servants' money and various benefits for a year are all added together. If they are not corrupt and accept bribes, the salary they can get is equivalent to about 35 yuan, which is about the RMB of later generations. Around 15.

This income level must not be considered low in the Tang Dynasty.But the salary of an imposing seventh-rank magistrate is only equal to that of a first-class craftsman.An illiterate rough man who has worked diligently in the workshop for three years, as long as he does not make serious mistakes, can be promoted to a first-class craftsman. Even if it is done every three years, each evaluation is excellent, and each time you can be promoted to a higher level, but it takes 33 years to be promoted from the ninth rank to the seventh rank.

In other words, the official career of many officials will stop at the level of Zheng Qipin.

A craftsman can actually get so much money, and they can get wages on a monthly basis when officials' salaries cannot be paid in full on schedule, which can't help but make scholars angry.If these industries are included in the imperial court system, I am afraid that the officials in the palace and the various governments will definitely be extremely dissatisfied with this and complain a lot.

As a private person, no matter how much salary Chen Ying pays to the craftsmen, no one will say anything. However, as the imperial court, there is a system to follow. Rice grain, this is a rule that has been formed since the Qin and Han Dynasties.

Chen Ying can do it, can the court do it?Can the samurai Xun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, bear such pressure from public opinion?
Listening to Chen Ying's eloquence, the warrior Xun remained silent for a long time.Although he is not from the family, he knows how powerful the family is and how powerful the public opinion is.

Is Yang Guang really stupid?There must be a conclusion in later generations, this girl is a fool.But the samurai Xun was born in this era, so he knows more.If someone would ask, the warrior Xun would definitely say with mixed feelings: "Yang Guang is a fool!"

But he would definitely add two words in his heart: "It's strange."

However, because Yang Guang adopted the imperial examination system and used the imperial examination to select officials, he offended all the powerful families in the world, so the direction of public opinion changed overnight.

This is true for Yang Guang, but does the warrior Xun really dare to do this?Once he does this, the entire public opinion will soon turn around, and he will bear the brunt of it and become the target of public criticism. ,

A samurai can not care about his own reputation, but he cannot ignore the consequences.The aristocrats used public opinion and conspiracy to defeat the Sui Dynasty. If there is another attack, the Tang Dynasty will be over by itself.

After a long time, the warrior Xun looked at Chen Ying and said with a wry smile: "Chen Yingma, I am the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, but I am sitting on top of the accumulated salary."

Chen Ying said with a smile: "If it is not Duke Ying, who can take on this great task? His Majesty knows the hardships of Duke Ying, and His Majesty will not treat Duke Ying badly."

Li Yuan waved his hand with a wry smile, pointed at Chen Ying and said, "What better way do you have, let's talk about it together."

Chen Ying smiled and said: "It's not difficult to say, but it's not difficult to say. You can follow the story of entering Su Baijue, and use titles instead of income. What people want is nothing more than rich and honor. Ministers can make them rich, but they can't make them rich." They are expensive, let them be distinguished, this is the privilege of the imperial court, the former Yu Wenkai, in fact, can be regarded as a master craftsman, the way of being an official, he is still far behind, but he can still be named a prince, the position For craftsmen who do not need to socialize, ten guan is enough to live and eat, and two or three hundred guan is not very meaningful, and it is not as attractive as a title."

"Officials and nobles are the inscriptions of the country, how can they be granted lightly!" Li Yuan shook his head after hearing this and said, "This method is not appropriate!"

Chen Ying nodded and said: "The Great Tang established the country with martial arts, and set up twelve rounds of military merits. Thanks to this, the generals of the Great Tang put their lives on the line and went on to serve the court and His Majesty. Your Majesty, why not set up a set of civil servants as well? To reward civil servants? For example, for a county magistrate, the population under his rule will increase by [-]%, taxes will increase by [-]%, and he has made meritorious service in enlightenment, so he can be transferred to the rank of civil honor officer for his meritorious military service?"

Chen Ying also had a brainstorm and came up with this idea.People need to walk on two legs, but the great Tang martial arts and the surrender of the barbarians are due to the twelve rounds of military merits in the Tang Dynasty. As long as they gain military merits, they can be promoted and make a fortune, so this is the only way for the poor and common people to advance. .

In the same way, because Datang paid too much attention to martial arts, Datang did not do a good job in internal governance.Civil servants and military generals all hope to open up territories for the imperial court.Because they get military merit, they can be promoted, which is the biggest benefit for them.But the method of civil servant promotion, the evaluation is too complicated.The Tang Dynasty divided Wen San officials into 29 levels. According to the principle of three-year evaluation, theoretically speaking, it takes 72 years to upgrade from the ninth rank to the first rank, and almost no one can do it.

If it is like a military officer, every battle can be used as a comment.Of course, Wenzhi cannot be the same as the official examination, but the principle of annual assessment can be adopted, and the standards adopted will be clear at a glance.

How much new arable land, how much food is produced, and how much new population a county has is like the GDP of later generations.Not only can the county magistrate be assessed, but also the censor. How many people have you impeached and how many corruptions have not been reported under your rule? These are political achievements.

For example, three provinces, six ministries, nine monasteries and five supervisors, these are twenty ministerial-level departments in the Tang Dynasty, how many of them were not evaluated?
When Chen Ying said this, Li Yuan suddenly came to his senses.In fact, this method was not initiated by Chen Ying, but the [-]th rank system of the Qin State established by Shang Yang and Shang Jun. The [-]th rank military rank of the Qin State is not only obtained by fighting, but by farmers farming. As long as you produce more food than others, or craftsmen have some major inventions, doctors invent new medicines, and how many casualties can be reduced, this is all credit.

Qin Jue's [-]th class is a big basket, and everything can be put in it.

Li Yuan can really be the founding king, so he must have something unique.When he discovered that there was an effective method for Chen Ying's proposal, Li Yuan immediately transformed the original small-scale discussion into a small court discussion. Xiao Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Yuwen Shiji, Minister of Zhongshu, Yang Gongren, Minister of Huangmen, Feng Deyi, Minister of Dianzhong, Minister of Officials, and Prince Li Jiancheng were all invited to Ganquan Palace.

Li Jiancheng was the first to come, and he was still baffled, but when he saw Chen Ying here, Li Jiancheng walked up to Chen Ying and asked, "Chen Ying, what important matters do you want to discuss this year, Father?"

Chen Ying told Li Jiancheng exactly what happened when Li Yuan was called here today.

After hearing this, Li Jiancheng thought for a while, and complained, "Since you have such an important proposal, why don't you go to the East Palace to discuss it with me?"

Chen Ying sighed helplessly and said: "His Royal Highness, this is a coincidence, and it was an unintentional mistake. Who would have thought that the matter would become such a big mess."

Li Jiancheng said with a wry smile: "You have to be prepared, I am afraid that this restructuring will be opposed by many people."

Chen Ying was puzzled by this. Historically, the Tang Dynasty conquered a huge territory, all the way to the Caspian Sea. This was the most powerful expansion of territory in Chinese history. However, because of the Battle of Talas, they lost three thousand In the territory of five hundred miles, only the four towns of Anxi were rebuilt four times.

The reason for this, apart from the population, is that Datang did not pay enough attention to the rule of law.

To put it bluntly, it was because Datang placed too much emphasis on military force in national policy, and did not have enough benefits for civil servants.

However, once all the interests are tilted to the civil officials, they will be like the Song Dynasty, where the civil officials do not want to make progress.

Chen Ying's idea is to neutralize the interests of all parties and balance all parties.

Then, both generals and civil servants can be motivated.This is a good recipe for governing the world, how could there be so many people opposing it?

However, after an hour, all the invited ministers were ordered to arrive at Ganquan Palace, after the ceremony.An old master with gray hair and a trembling beard fired at Chen Ying: "Mr. Chen, a gentleman is a metaphor for righteousness, and a villain is a metaphor for profit. You are here. You are talking nonsense, and you are talking about benefits. What kind of heart?"

"Hold the grass, I was shot while lying down!" Chen Ying looked at the old master a little strangely, and asked in puzzlement, "Who is this step?"

The old master said indifferently: "Old man Kong Yingda!"
