Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 84 Xue Lang's General Knowledge Training Class
Miss Liu nodded approvingly with a "pretty smart" expression on her face, "Yes!"

Afterwards, take notes on paper.

The position field does not belong to the official himself, but is equivalent to a part of the salary. Princess Pingyang let Xue Lang choose by himself, which is considered to be very caring, and Xue Lang will keep it in mind.

Lady Liu said again: "In addition to Lumi and Zhatian, there are handymen and monthly miscellaneous pay. The handymen should have been given to Master Xue to treat your servants and maids, but it's just that Youyang has just returned, and there is no one under him to train slaves, so His Highness will send someone from his private slaves to you."

Lady Liu said again: "In view of Master Xue's situation, the matter of slaves and maidservants needs to be explained in detail. Master Xue, slaves and maidservants belong to Lubi's livestock, and they are sold at a price. .But don’t talk about monthly money and the like, it’s a joke to let outsiders know.”

Xue Lang sincerely admitted his mistake: "I made a mistake, just laugh, just laugh."

Lady Liu nodded and said: "Then let's talk about the salary, besides the handymen, there is also monthly miscellaneous allowances, which are all food and clothing, such as charcoal for the season, food, noodles, wine and meat, etc., which will be sent directly to Tingfengyuan in the future. In addition to the annual salary, some miscellaneous payments are monthly and some are quarterly, and at that time, Fuzhong will distribute all of them to Tingfengyuan."

"Okay, thank you, Ms. Liu."

"It's okay."

Lady Liu explained to Xue Lang in detail the court's preferential treatment for officials. In addition to salaries, five bolts of silk, gold and silver were given each year during Yuanzheng and Winter Solstice; Wear five sets of clothes, including a full set of clothes, shoes, socks and hats.

These benefits are not only for officials themselves, but also for their spouses.If there is a funeral for immediate family members, such as grandparents, parents, etc., the state will send people to help for 10 days during the funeral, and will distribute funeral items according to the grade, and will also give silk and chestnut rice.

In addition to the above, there are also housing, car rides and other discounts. Relatives can enjoy exemption from military service, and children and grandchildren can enjoy the privileges of priority in school admission and being an official.

With such a superior treatment, it is no wonder that the ancients wanted to be an official if they sharpened their heads. The benefits of being an official are too great.Xue Lang expressed that he will work hard!
After saying this, Ms. Liu specially emphasized: "There is a huge difference between good and low. According to the law, if there is a fight between a good citizen and an untouchable, the good citizen will be punished by one grade if he is guilty, and the untouchable person will be punished by one grade if he is guilty. Push, it is a taboo for slaves to sue the master!"

Lady Liu seemed to see that Xue Lang lacked such common sense, so she deliberately gave Xue Lang a lot of information about slaves in the laws and regulations.These days, slaves not only have no social status, but also have no personal freedom. They are equivalent to the private property of their masters. For the government, to kill a guilty servant, a staff of one hundred; to kill an innocent slave, move for a year.

And slaves and servants killing masters are regarded as one of the ten evils, just like Miss Liu said, it is a taboo.Even if the emperor amnesties the world, the criminals of this crime are not within the scope of amnesty.

No wonder Wanfu said that!The original background reason is this!Sure enough, in addition to the influence of status and experience, the human mind also needs to understand the background of the big era. Only when these are unified can we understand the positions and choices of others.Regarding the thoughts and actions of the servants, Xue Lang no longer finds it difficult to understand looking at the clouds and mist.

Xue Lang said he understood!

Xue Lang got up and bowed to the end: "Thank you, Mrs. Liu, for teaching me. Xue Lang came out. If Mrs. Liu didn't point out these things, I wouldn't make jokes. I'm afraid I might break the law if I'm not careful. There's no way to repay such a great kindness, please. Accept Xue Lang's gift."

Lady Liu hurriedly avoided, and said: "Master Xue, don't be so polite, I'm just talking, it's nothing."

Xue Lang said seriously: "For Ms. Liu, it's just a small matter of talking, but for me, it's really a big thing of being favored by others. This gift, Ms. Liu deserves it!"

After sincerely and solemnly thanking Mrs. Liu, and asking nothing else, Xue Lang went back to Tingfengyuan.Ask Changjian to call Ah Chen, and tell him that Yueza will come down in the future, and then let him go to pick it up, and bring it back to Hexiang, who will distribute it.

After explaining the chores, after breakfast, Xue Lang took Changjian out to Jianghu District—

The craftsmen who came out of the Military Weapons Supervision were assigned to live there.There were five craftsmen who came down, each with two apprentices.Xue Lang went over, asked someone to invite the five masters, and waited in the workshop.

"I've seen Master Xue!"

"Masters are polite, I don't know how to address them?"

The masters who came here are all middle-aged people, in their thirties and under their forties, which is the time when they are skilled in craftsmanship and in the prime of life.The apprentices he leads are not too young, they are all young people in their twenties, who have already learned the skills and are ready to become teachers.

It seems that these masters are really here to do things.

The five masters are You Nianchun, Tang Shengtian, Yan Fugui, Du Xiazhi, and Wu Jiafu.Master You Nianchun is good at forging swords; Tang Shengtian and Yan Fugui are good at making bows and crossbows;

The five masters have been here for three or four days, but the mansion is busy with the promotion of Yirenli, so they are only arranged to stay. Xue Lang didn't know the news of their arrival until today, and he has time to deal with their affairs.

Dongjijiu specially set up two adjacent courtyards for the masters, one for living and one for working. Her Royal Highness sent troops to guard it.

The working yard has spacious and bright rooms, just like a large modern workshop, with all kinds of utensils already prepared, and the masters also bring their own used tools when they come.

Because it has been several days, the masters already have the real objects sent by Her Royal Highness.Master Tang and Master Yan have already begun to study the bed crossbow and the god arm bow. Master Wu has already started to try to make the wooden base of the bed crossbow according to the size given by the two.

Although the Princess Mansion has already produced the actual bed crossbow, Master Bi and the others are not specialized weapons masters after all, and there is still room for adjustment and modification of the things they made.How to achieve the best size ratio and make the weapon exert the greatest power, these must be done by a special weapon master.

Master You held the saber that Xue Lang gave to Her Royal Highness the Princess, while Master Du held the telescope.These two, as soon as Xue Lang came, they held Xue Lang tightly after seeing the ceremony, and asked about the things in their hands, some details they hadn't understood yet.

Xue Lang said: "Master Du, the most important thing about a telescope is the lens, what material to use, how to polish it, and whether it will affect the imaging effect. These are all things you need to understand. The more transparent the lens, the better, and the polishing is also the case. Don't worry about anything else. Think about these things before you talk about anything else.”

Master Du thought for a while, and said: "Master Xue is justified, so let's go to the selection first!"

After dismissing Master Du, Xue Lang turned around and started to get together with Master You. Men are more interested in swords. Now that there is a ready-made weapon in front of everyone, Xue Lang naturally wants to ask for advice.

So, I soaked in front of Master You, and explained the various functions of the dagger to Master You in detail. Master You admired the multi-function of the saber, but he had some opinions on the size: "This dagger is as good as it is." , but it is not suitable for use in battles, and horizontal knives are more suitable for battles."
