Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 142 Welfare
Although Zhang Yichen was dissatisfied with Luo Chengduo in his heart, he became more and more friendly on the surface.

Early in the morning, Zhang Yichen invited Luo Cheng to his private room.

"I heard that yesterday, Shicheng, you chose some slaves?"

"Ah."

"It was my negligence. Our county got more than 3000 slaves this time. It is actually your credit. You have been rewarded and punished. We can't forget you as a great hero. I asked for instructions with the county magistrate and decided to give you one. A hundred slaves as a reward."

A hundred slaves are worth a lot, not to mention that the youngest slaves are worth at least twenty or thirty guan, but ordinary slaves are worth at least ten guan.Even if there is one in ten guan, these one hundred slaves are worth a thousand guan.

In a small place like Zhangqiu, the reward of Qianguan is really amazing.

"My lord, Luo Cheng'an dares to accept this great reward!"

"Hey, if you have meritorious deeds, you will be rewarded. Why don't you dare. Isn't it the same for you to lead the vanguard battalion? If there is public service but not rewards, how can you convince the public and how to comfort people? One hundred slaves are what you deserve."

"I originally wanted to reward you with some money, but after thinking about it, I'd better give it to your slave directly. If you don't need so much, just sell it."

"In addition, you are now a Jiupin Lixin Lieutenant, and a acting county captain, so according to the imperial court system, you are eligible to enjoy the land treatment of the position, and the quota of Yongye Field has also increased by [-] mu accordingly. The county just confiscated it some time ago A lot of land has been confiscated, and I have had people choose [-] mu of good land as your duty field, will you send people to cultivate it yourself, or rent it out to others for rent?"

The position field can be regarded as a kind of welfare given to officials by the Sui court.

In the early days, Beijing officials were paid, but foreign officials were not.If there is no salary, the land will be given, so the foreign officials live on the rent of the land.But now that the Sui Dynasty is prosperous and prosperous, foreign officials also have salaries and salaries, and this job field is still available.

Different ranks can enjoy the corresponding duty fields.

Luo Cheng, as the Ninth Rank Lixin Lieutenant, had no job land, but he was acting county magistrate or county captain, so Zhang Yichen generously gave him [-] mu of land.

As a general practice, officials with assigned positions do not farm the fields themselves, but hand them over to self-cultivated farmers with better conditions in the county to farm. The imperial court even stipulated that for these assigned fields, the rent per mu should not be more than six liters.

The income of six liters per mu is roughly the same as thirty rents, which is not high.

If Luo Cheng gets 52 mu of land, in fact, he can get [-] shi for a year's rent, which is also a good income.After all, as a ninth-rank official like him, his annual Lumi is only [-] shi.

"The county now has a lot of official land, so it will also allocate [-] acres of official Yongye land to you."

After all, Luo Cheng has a ninth-rank official rank and a temporary official position, so the official Yongye Tian can't be given. Zhang Yichen, the county magistrate, has a good relationship with Luo Cheng now, so he gave it to him when he said it.

Ever since, Luo Cheng got another [-] mu of land.

The difference between the [-] mu of land and the previous [-]-acre sub-fields is that the sub-fields are only available if you have a job, and you have to take them away if you don’t have a job. Moreover, this kind of land is generally rented and not actually owned.

But Yongyetian is different. This land is allocated to Luo Cheng, and it can be passed on to his descendants in the future.

Two hundred acres of land is a real benefit.

Zhang Yichen didn't offer any discounts. You must know that Ji has a bad relationship, and it's normal not to give it. Even if you give it, it's unlikely to be in place.It's like the average farmland for the common people. It's not bad to be able to divide one hundred acres into one hundred acres.

"Thank you, Ambassador."

"Thank you, you deserve it."

"There are also public farms in our county. Every year, the rent collected from the public farms is sold and the money is used as the capital of the public farms to lend and collect interest. The income is used for the expenses of the public office paper and pens, and the rest is for the officials. Monthly salary, food and miscellaneous expenses, etc." Zhang Yichen counted the income with Luo Cheng with his fingers, "You are now a ninth rank, with a monthly salary of 250, plus [-] for food, [-] for miscellaneous expenses, and [-] for servants. One hundred and five, the total is two thousand dollars a month."

The salaries of officials in the Sui Dynasty can be divided into three parts: land, Lumi and salary. Second-rate.The salary is paid on a monthly basis, and what is spent is money.

In the salary, there are also some miscellaneous income, such as meal subsidies, such as miscellaneous expenses, such as the money for hiring servants, the sum is not much, and the ninth grade is only two thousand dollars.

But this is on the surface.

But in reality, how could it be only two thousand.After all, a yamen servant in Zhangqiu County earns at least [-] yuan a year, plus some extra money, up to a hundred yuan.

It can't be that the county lieutenant is so small.

Therefore, each county actually has a small treasury. This small treasury includes the money from the public farmland, the public farm money that uses the money sold by the public farm as the capital, and other tributes. In short, the small treasury More money and less money depends on the abilities of local officials.

In places where there are a lot of places, the officials pay every month, which is very cool.

For example, now, Zhang Yichen said that the monthly salary would add up to two thousand a month.

But he also quietly told him that he can divide the small treasury into another [-] pens a month.

Calculated in this way, Luo Cheng's annual Lumi is 52 shi of rice, plus 24 mu of land income, 240 shi meters, plus 200 mu of permanent land, and then a year's salary of 300 guan, plus a small treasury The income is about 64 guan. In general, it is almost [-] guan and [-] yuan a year, which is about [-] shimi.

There is already a lot of money.

"Now you are a county lieutenant, and the county will give you three Zhiyi and four Baizhi. As a county soldier captain, the county will give you four soldiers. These people follow you Serve, and each person in the county will pay you another two hundred dollars."

Bai Zhi is Bai Ding on duty.

This is a kind of servant, there are public servants and officials, and there are officials.Now Zhang Yichen gave Luo Cheng the official Baizhi.Baizhi is similar to servants, but they are drawn from the common people, and they are on duty, which is a kind of labor.

Generally every three years, that is, once in three years, and once in a year.However, there are not many white straight soldiers in a specific county, so they may only need to be on duty once in a few rounds, and ordinary people may only serve white straight soldiers once or twice in their lifetime.Bai Zhi didn't ask Ding Zhong, and when he turned 14, he was about to join the shift queue.After being selected, if the official is Baizhi, he will work as a servant in the Yamen, and if he is an official, he will be a servant with the official.

And holding clothes is also a similar kind of job.

Clothes-holding itself is an errand for the slaves of the rich family, but when it comes to the government, it becomes a kind of errand.The job is to follow the officials, bring paper, ink, brush and inkstone, and prepare for them to write at any time, similar to the role of a servant and book boy.Clothes are generally undertaken by underage middle-aged men, all of whom are fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys.

As for bodyguards, this is only the servants of the military officers. They also choose ordinary men to act as servants, and they are on duty every three years.

This is like a guard.

Anyway, these people work for free and serve officials, and the government bears the expenses of these people, and also gives officials a subsidy, which is considered a kind of welfare treatment.

Baizhi, holding clothes and fighting body, Luo Cheng only knew Baizhi before. It is said that Baizhi was first established by Liu Yu, the founding emperor of Liu Song Dynasty. For the stormtroopers, the fierce dash is very fierce, and the white straight pioneer is established.

Later, Bai Zhi gradually expanded to all corners of the government and officials, and Bai Zhi was no longer a brave and capable elite, but became a kind of close attendant.

Zhang Yichen finally told Luo Cheng another good news.

That is, as officials of the Sui Dynasty, Luo Cheng's family was exempted from taxation and labor.

Officials are a privileged class, and they are not registered. Once they become officials, they don't have to pay taxes.
