Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

"Your Majesty, if the Tianyi system is changed to the Gulu system, I believe that the following standards can be formulated."

Unhurriedly, Fan Li took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve, and read aloud: "The official rank is the highest with ten thousand stones, the second is middle two thousand stones, and the second is true two thousand stones."

"The next level is two thousand stones, and the next level is two thousand stones."

"The following are Qian Shi, Bi Qian Shi, Six Hundred Stones, Four Hundred Stones, Bi Four Hundred Stones, Three Hundred Stones, Bi Three Hundred Stones, Two Hundred Stones, Hundred Stones, Dou Shi, and Zuo Shi."

"The Zuo Shi is the lowest, with a monthly salary of eight dendrobiums. Half of the salary is paid in grain and half in money, which can be changed occasionally."

After a pause, Fan Li said again: "Those who are officials in the court, Dazai, Yushi Dafu, and Da Sima, these three are all ten thousand stones, and the moon valley is three hundred and fifty hu!"

"Ting Wei, Zhi Su Nei Shi, Da Xing Ling and other nine ministers have a rank of [-] shi, a monthly salary of [-] hu, and a year-old man gets [-] shi."

"The county guard, the county magistrate, and the county lieutenant all have a monthly salary of two thousand stones and one hundred and fifty hu, and every one year old gets a thousand or eight hundred shi."

"The county magistrate, county magistrate, and county lieutenant all rank from six hundred stones to one thousand stones..."

Obviously, this time, the Gulu system that Qingji wants to reform has established a strict hierarchy.

Different official positions enjoy different treatment.

For example, Taishi Jizi enjoys the treatment of Sangong, and can get [-] shi of grain a year.

What is this concept?
According to the measurement unit of Wu State, one stone is [-] catties, which is about [-] catties in modern times.

That is to say, for an ordinary county guard, two thousand shi is equivalent to [-] catties of grain in one year's grain income.

You must know that the productivity of this era is very low. One mu of arable land can only produce two or three stones.

Most of the top fertile fields will not exceed the grain yield of four stones!

If it is a minister with the position of Jiuqing, such as Fan Li and Bo Tong, [-] shi a year.

It is equivalent to sitting on [-] acres of high-quality fertile land during their tenure.

If it was just an ordinary farmland, it would be more than a thousand mu!

However, compared to other vassal states, Wu State is still stingy.

Because in the state of Jin, people like Liuqing will be rewarded with a salary of five hundred hectares of land tax.

Ministers at the level of upper doctor are also given a salary of one hundred hectares of land.

One hectare is equivalent to fifty acres.

Five hundred hectares, that is [-] mu of land!
It can be said that the more than one thousand mu in Wu State has been reduced by half.

However, the Nine Ministers of the State of Wu cannot be compared with the Six Ministers of the State of Jin.

Because the Jiuqing of Wu State corresponds to the doctor.

Therefore, Sangong should be used for comparison.

The three princes of the state of Wu, that is, Dazai, Da Sima, and Yushi Dafu, earned [-] shi every year.

If calculated on the basis of first-class fertile land, it would be exactly [-] mu!
This is still good land!
The arable land bestowed by the State of Jin to the Six Ministers is not necessarily high-quality fertile land!

If calculated on the basis of ordinary cultivated land, the grain and salary of Sangong is equivalent to three or four thousand mu of "field property".

Therefore, judging from this reform, it seems that Wu's ministers and officials are not at a disadvantage.

If so, all the ministers were secretly thinking about it, and there were some complaints in their hearts.

"Your Majesty, I think it is inappropriate to implement such a system of grain and salary in our country of Wu!"

The Shaofu was left standing up and said: "Today, the following countries still implement the land and township system, and there is nothing wrong with it." …

"The land and eunuch system can make the officials hereditary and replace their land. However, this kind of grain and salary system, like ministers and other officials after the officials leave their posts, how can they enjoy it?"

"The future generations will not be able to enjoy it either!"

"If the Gulu system is used to replace the Tianyi system, the ministers are afraid that the courtiers and officials will be dissatisfied, and then they will hang their seals and leave!"

"Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

The servant Shen Xi stood up and said in agreement: "Your Majesty, what Shaofuli said is very true."

"A scholar seeks an official, either for fame or for profit. Those who are famous are easy to say, if it is for profit."

"This kind of Gulu system, I'm afraid it will force many officials and scholars away!"

"Great Wang Mingjian!"

The ministers of the old family, headed by Shen Xi and Bei Li, immediately stood up and asked Qingji to take back his order, and not to replace the Tianyi system with the Gulu system.

They are not purely considering their own personal interests.

Because the ministers of the old family of Wu basically have their own food towns.

It used to be a fiefdom, but now due to the edict of Qingji, the fiefdom has been replaced by a food city.

Having said that, the ministers of the old aristocratic clan actually didn't pay much attention to the so-called Tianyi.

However, who wants to let their own interests be damaged?

In their view, the current king is a very "stingy" person.

In order to strengthen the centralization of power, not to mention the abolition of fiefdoms, even the fields and towns of officials are now taken away, so that they cannot leave legacy for their descendants.

This cannot be justified!

"Second and third sons, what you said, I think, is not unreasonable."

Qingji looked very calm.

Obviously, he already had a countermeasure!

"The widow should seek the welfare of all the ministers and officials."

"If you die in office, or if you become an official after the age of sixty, the Sangong will give you one million yuan and one hundred hectares of land and land, and the Jiuqing will give you five hundred thousand yuan and fifty hectares of land and land."

Hearing this, all the ministers looked at each other in blank dismay.

This seems to be of great benefit to them.

If you don't live to be sixty years old, you can die in office and leave a legacy for future generations.

Qingji was really thoughtful.

This time, Qingji did not choose to make a one-size-fits-all approach, but took his time.

Of course, the last inheritance of the officials was cut off by one-fifth.

However, the state can make up for it with money or precious things.

better than nothing!

"in addition……"

Qingji looked around again, looked at the ministers under his majesty's platform, and said slowly: "As for the officials of the six counties in the south of the Five Ridges, the fields and towns should be reserved, and the grain and salary system should be paralleled!"

"Your Majesty Yingming!"

The officials shouted.

Qingji's move was undoubtedly to encourage more scholars to take office in the six counties of Lingnan.

After all, the six counties in south of the Five Ridges are remote and barren places that require a lot of manpower to develop.

……

Gongshu.

At this time, Qingji was walking in the aisle of the palace school, surrounded by a group of servants and court ladies.

The students in this palace school are naturally Qingji's sons, the princes of Wu.

Qingji also worked hard to cultivate his next generation.

The configuration of Mr. Gongshu is extremely high, basically the standard of "Emperor Master".

Taishi Dazai, Taifu Sun Ping, Taibao Yanying, and Da Xingling Kongqiu who occasionally came to teach, who is famous and famous among the princes?
Under the teaching of so many great masters, as long as they are not idiots, they will generally excel.

At least he is more promising than ordinary nobles!

Qingji walked in the aisle of the palace school, and what he heard was not the sound of reading aloud, but silence.

Because Qingji had ordered Yan Ying to be in charge of presiding over an exam for the princes.

The content of the test is also very simple, that is, to silently write an article of hundreds of words.

Or fill in the blanks.

It is mainly selected from "Shangshu", "Book of Changes", "Book of Rites" and other works.
