The Peach Blossom Luck of Rebirth

Chapter 300 How much salary did you get from the court in a year?
But now, after tasting the bitter medicine of the imperial physician for the first time, I couldn't adapt to it all of a sudden, and I vomited it out.

"The imperial concubine! Drink it quickly! In order to get well soon, do you have to go to the grand palace concert tomorrow?" Yue'e said sincerely and eagerly.

"Yue'e! Add some sugar! I really can't drink this medicine!" Zhao Feixue said.

"But, imperial concubine! Just now Hu Yong said that this medicine cannot be sweetened!" Yue'e hesitated.

"I told you to add it! Hurry up! Otherwise, I won't drink it!" Zhao Guifei said.

Helpless, Yue'e had to add sugar.

After adding sugar, the pain really eased a lot. Concubine Zhao Guifei reluctantly drank the medicine in the bowl under Yue'e's medicine.

After Zhao Feixue finished drinking, she broke out in sweat and fell asleep.

On the second day, Emperor Jingtian ascended to the top of the Jinluan Palace in Tianjing City, Li Yuanhao went to the early court, and all the civil and military ministers were separated on both sides, saying "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!".

Li Yuanhao said: "Everyone who loves you is flat!" So all the civil and military officials were lined up in the hall.

"Everyone! How is the state affairs of the Jingtian Dynasty recently? Please speak freely!" Li Yuanhao said.

As soon as Li Yuanhao spoke, all the civil and military ministers spoke enthusiastically.

Among them, He Zidi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, said: "My Majesty! Officials and people everywhere are enjoying themselves! The people live and work in peace and contentment! A scene of prosperity!"

Wei Xianneng, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, also echoed, saying: "My Majesty! The Ministry of Households collected so much grain, the treasury was full, and the granaries were sufficient! The country is prosperous!"

"The frontier is stable, and there are no incoming enemies! This is due to the wiseness of the emperor! Marshal Li Jun has made great contributions to defending the border!" Li Tang, Li Jun's confidant general, said.

After Li Jun's confidant ministers and generals said some compliments, several loyal ministers still risked their lives to remonstrate:
"Your Majesty! The country is in dire straits now! The officials and the people are happy together, but the officials are happy and the people are suffering!"

"Your Majesty! The food collected by the Ministry of Households is the rations of the people! Now the imperial granary is sufficient, but the people have no food! Many people eat grass roots and bark to satisfy their hunger! They even kill each other to eat! What a pain!"

"Your Majesty! Although the frontier is stable, we must not slack off! To strengthen the absolute leadership of the imperial power over the army, we must not disperse the military power and weaken the court's right to use troops!"

The three ministers are called Zhang Hai, Wang Xian, and Peng Ze, and they are all loyal and veteran ministers.

As soon as the three of them finished speaking, without waiting for the emperor to make any statement, Minister of the Ministry of Officials He Zidi, Minister of the Ministry of Households Wei Xianneng, and Li Jun's confidant general Li Tang began to argue fiercely.

"Dare to ask the three lords! The officials are happy and the people are miserable. I ask Master Zhang, how much salary does he get from the court in a year?" He Zidi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, asked.

"The salary is 87 shi per month, and 44 shi a year!" Zhang Hai, Wang Xian, and Peng Ze revealed their salaries, from officials to the second rank, which is also the standard treatment of the Jingtian Dynasty.

A stone of rice in the Jingtian Dynasty was about 150 five jin at present. Based on the current value of 32 yuan per jin of rice, the annual salary was about [-] yuan.
