Chapter 142 Welfare

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

Early in the morning, Zhang Yichen invited Luo Cheng to his public housing.

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

"Um."

"I was negligent. In fact, it was your contribution to our county's merits after receiving these more than 3,000 slaves this time. I have been rewarded and punished, so I cannot forget you, the great minister. I asked the county magistrate and I asked for instructions and decided to give you a hundred slaves as a reward."

One hundred slaves are worth no more. Not to mention that the youngest slave can be worth at least twenty or thirty cents, just ordinary slaves can be worth at least ten cents. Even if one ten cents is worth at least one hundred cents, these hundred slaves can be worth a thousand cents.

In a small place like Zhangqiu, the rewards of Qianguan are indeed amazing.

"Empress, Luo Cheng'an dares to receive this great reward!"

"Hey, if you have merits, you will be rewarded. Why don't you dare to do this? Isn't it the same for you to lead the pioneer camp? If there is a public who doesn't reward you, how can you convince the public? How can you settle down with others? One hundred slaves are what you deserve."

"I originally wanted to reward you with some money, but I thought about it and just give it to your slaves. If you can't use so much, just sell it."

"In addition, you are now the ninth-rank Li Xinwei, and you are still acting as a county lieutenant. Therefore, according to the imperial system, you are qualified to enjoy the benefits of vocational land, and the amount of land received by Yongye Field has also increased by 200 acres accordingly. The county happened to confiscate a lot of land a while ago. I have asked someone to select 200 acres of fertile land as your vocational land. Should you send someone to farm yourself, or rent it out for someone to plant and collect rent?"

The division of land was considered a kind of benefit given to officials by the Sui Dynasty.

In the early days, officials in Beijing had a salary, but no salary outside the office. If they had no salary, they would give land. Therefore, foreign officials relied on rent to share land. Now, the great Sui Dynasty was rich, and foreign officials also had salary and salary, and the job still had land.

Different grades can enjoy the corresponding job distribution field.

As the ninth-rank Li Xinwei, Luo Cheng had no job land, but he was the acting county magistrate or county chief magistrate, so Zhang Yichen generously distributed him 200 acres of job land.

Generally speaking, officials who do not farm by themselves do not farm themselves, but give them to farmers and tenants in the county with better conditions. The court even stipulated that the rent for these fields will be only 6 liters per mu.

Acre of six liters per acre is roughly thirty and one rented one, which is not high.

If Luo Cheng got 200 acres of land, he could actually get 16 stones per year, which was a good income. After all, a ninth-rank official like him had only 52 stones per year.

"The county now has a lot of official land, so I will also allocate you 200 acres of permanent land for officials."

After all, Luo Cheng has a ninth rank and a temporary official position. Therefore, the official is in the process of giving forever and not giving. Zhang Yichen, the county magistrate, now has a good relationship with Luo Cheng, so he said he would give this land.

So Luo Cheng obtained another 200 acres of land.

The difference between these 200 acres of land and the previous two hundred jobs is that only the jobs are divided into land, and they have to be collected when there is no job. Moreover, this kind of land is usually rent-collected and is not actually owned.

But Yongyetian is different. This land is distributed to Luo Cheng and can be passed on to descendants in the future.

Two hundred acres of land are real benefits.

Zhang Yichen didn't pay any discount. You should know that the relationship between the base is bad, and it is normal not to give it. Even if you give it, it is unlikely that it will be in place. Just like the people equalize the land. It is good to say that one hundred acres can actually be divided into twenty acres.

"Thank you, the envoy."

"Thank you, this is what you deserve."

"We have public farms in our county. Every year, the rent collected by the public farms is sold and then the company's capital is used to lend and collect interest. In addition to the expenses of the public farms' office paper and pens, the remaining income is the monthly salary of the officials and the miscellaneous food and miscellaneous food." Zhang Yichen pointed at Luo Cheng and calculated the income. "You are now a ninth rank, with a monthly salary of one thousand, and there are 250 food and two hundred miscellaneous food and two hundred miscellaneous food and five hundred and five hundred, and a total of 2,000 yuan a month."

The salaries of officials of the Sui Dynasty can be divided into three parts, namely land, rice and salary. The land is the official who is eternal and field, and the land is calculated annually and paid twice a year. The salary is paid monthly and the money is spent.

The salary also includes some miscellaneous income, such as meal subsidies, such as miscellaneous items, such as the money for hiring servants, which is not much, and the ninth rank is only 2,000 yuan.

But this is on the surface.

In fact, how could it be only 2,000? After all, a soap-class yamen runner in Zhangqiu County earns at least 60 stags a year, and with some extra money, it is about 100 stags.

It’s impossible for the county magistrate to be like this.

Therefore, each county actually has a small treasury, which includes the money paid for the public farmland, the money from the money sold for the public farm grain as the capital, and other filial piety. In short, how much money in the small treasury depends on the ability of the local officials.

In many places, officials are very happy to share money every month.

For example, now, Zhang Yichen said that his monthly salary is 2,000 yuan per month.

But he quietly told him that he could divide another twenty cents in the small vault in a month.

In this way, Luo Cheng's annual rice is 52 s of rice, plus 200 mu of vocational land and 12 s of rice, plus 200 mu of Yongye land, and then the annual salary is 24 stakes, plus the small treasury income is about 240 stakes. In total, it is almost more than 200 stakes and 300 yuan a year, and 64 stakes of rice.

This money and food are already a lot.

"You are now a county lieutenant, and the county will give you three more robbers and four more robbers. As the county lieutenant, the county will give you four more robbers. These people will follow you and serve you, and each person in the county will give you another 200 yuan."

Bai Zhi means Bai Ding is on duty.

This is a kind of servant, including Bai Zhi, the official Bai Zhi. Now what Zhang Yichen gave to Luo Cheng is the official Bai Zhi. Bai Zhi is similar to a servant, but he was transferred from the people and took turns to serve, which is a kind of labor.

Generally, it takes three years, that is, it is on duty once every three years, and it is one year. However, there are not many Bai Zhi in a specific county, so it may only take one time for several rounds. Generally, people may only be a Bai Zhi service once or twice for a lifetime. Bai Zhi does not ask Ding Zhong, and when he is fourteen years old, he will join the rotation queue. After the selection, Bai Zhi, the public party, will work as a servant in the yamen. If it is an official, Bai Zhi, then follow the officials as a servant.

Holding clothes is also a similar type of service.

Zhiyi itself is an errand for slaves from wealthy families. When he arrived at the government, Zhiyi became a kind of servant. The job was to follow the officials, bring paper, ink, pen and inkstone, and prepare for them at any time, similar to the role of a servant's book boy. Zhiyi is usually borne by a middle-aged man who is not a child, all of whom are 14 or 15 years old.

As for the body of the army, this is a servant only available to military officers. He also chose Ding Nan as the common man and took turns to serve as a job, which took three years.

This is equivalent to a guard.

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

Bai Zhi, holding his clothes and pursuing his body, Luo Cheng used to only know Bai Zhi. It is said that Bai Zhi was originally established by Liu Yu, the founding emperor of the Liu Song Dynasty. It was originally a team of servants around him. Later, he used this team of servants as a stormtrooper, and was very fierce in rushing and establishing Bai Zhi's vanguard.

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

Zhang Yichen finally told Luo Cheng another good news.

That is, as an official of the Sui Dynasty, Luo Cheng's family was exempted from taxes and labor from then on.
