Lin Haoran opened the information of the house in Lingshi Hutong and found that the house was extremely ordinary, just a very ordinary courtyard, with only five or six rooms, and no back garden.

"It's not easy to live in the capital!" He looked at the rent marked on it and couldn't help but sigh.

Ning Jiang also helped him choose a house, and when he heard this, he said with a sour meaning: "Come on! Your six-rank official's monthly salary is eight stone rice, and we people count you as the highest income! ”

"Didn't you say there was a folded color? I'm afraid that if I get it, I won't even be able to support myself! Lin Haoran propped his chin and continued to look through the information of other houses.

Ning Jiang picked out one and handed it to him, and said with envy: "It's true!" But the household also has to look at people? You are a Hanlin official, if people fold to 30%, at least leave you 60%! ”

I have to say that Hanlin officials seem to be powerless and powerless, but their status in officialdom is indeed not low. Especially in the household department, they dare to offend the officials of the ministry, and they do not dare to offend the Hanlin Academy.

"You probably don't know what I'm doing at the military department! It's a pity that your firewood and soap silver will pass through my hands in the future, you are a second-grade official, and you can hire four people, so our military department has to give you four taels of firewood and soap silver every month. Ning Jiang looked up at Lin Haoran, his eyes full of helplessness and envy.

"And that's not all!" Yang Futian took over the topic, pretending to be a mysterious gesture and said proudly: "I don't know your yamen, anyway, I have already inquired clearly, the straight hall silver of our Ministry of Industry...... Ten taels! ”

This straight hall silver is equivalent to the unit bonus of later generations, and a yamen with a strong income-generating ability like the Ministry of Industry will naturally pay more, while a yamen with a weak income-generating ability like the Criminal Department will naturally have to pay less.

It is precisely because of this that many people have the illusion that the income of Ming Dynasty officials was low. Perhaps this would have been the case in the early Ming Dynasty, but in the Jiajing Dynasty, the income-generating capacity of the yamen increased, and their income really could not be considered low.

Lin Haoran didn't know about this before, so he didn't know how many straight halls of the Hanlin Academy were.

However, judging from the high-end paper, pen and ink inkstones in the office, I am afraid that the "income-generating ability" of the Hanlin Academy is not low, even if the paper and ink consumption is doubled, there must be thousands of taels in the account.

In fact, in addition to the three major incomes of Yulu, silver firewood and soap and Zhitang silver, there will also be benefits such as firewood tickets in winter, and the annual income can even be as much as hundreds of taels.

"Then Lingshi Hutong!" After some comparison, Lin Haoran immediately decided to choose this place with the highest security coefficient, even if the rent was indeed much higher.

As long as it is good for the girl Tiger Girl, even if it is more silver taels, he will not be stingy.

After finalizing the house, the three asked the shopkeeper Chen to bring wine and food, and chatted about their respective employment situations today. When they learned that Lin Haoran was so violent, they all gave him a thumbs up.

The next day, Hallym Temple.

This is the commuting time of Ming officials, that is, from seven o'clock in the morning to five o'clock in the afternoon. As a newcomer to officialdom, Lin Haoran has just started, so naturally it is not good to be late.

The door soap belongs to the service, and the status is the lowest, and when he saw Lin Haoran coming in, he said with a flattering face: "Master Xiu, the little one is called Lin San." The first day of the adult's duty hall is full of red clouds, and he will be a smooth step forward in the future, and he will be a cabinet minister! ”

Lin Haoran looked up at the sky at this time, and found that it was indeed full of morning glow, and his mood suddenly became good, so he smiled gently: "Thank you!" My surname is also Lin, we were afraid that we were a family five hundred years ago! ”

"Hee-hee...... If so, that's a blessing for the villain! Lin San scratched his head and smirked, looking extremely happy.

Through the three gates, Lin Haoran turned left and walked into the repair hall.

When the official watched him come in, he complimented him with a smile on his face, and was extremely optimistic about the new master of revision.

Lin Haoran drew a mark on the book and walked towards the office area.

"Master, what do you command?" Sun Jixiang had already arrived here in advance, greeted him and asked respectfully.

After becoming the newly revised subordinate, his status was suddenly elevated. Yesterday, two people came to his house to give gifts, and his colleagues, who had always rejected him, also invited him to drink together.

But in his heart, he knew in his heart who gave everything now. Maybe I've experienced too much, and I've seen most people's warmth and coldness, so I seem to be much calmer about this change.

"If the Lord of the Courtyard comes, remember to call me in the ward!" Lin Haoran explained.

When Sun Jixiang heard this, he shook his head and said, "There is trouble over there in the Zongren Mansion, and the master of the courtyard is afraid that he will not be able to take care of this place for a while!" ”

"What's going on in the Zongren Mansion?" Lin Haoran frowned and asked puzzled.

Sun Jixiang's news was very well-informed, and he said: "The Japanese in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are rampant, and they have used too much finance, so they have delayed the Lu rice to the Zongren Mansion!" ”

"I see!" Lin Haoran nodded slowly.

In order to prevent the same room, Da Ming imposed a lot of restrictions on the clan, and raised them as pigs.

It's not easy to just provide for these clan relatives. Like a prince, he gave 10,000 stone of rice, 2,000 stone for the king of the county, 1,000 stone for the general of Zhenguo, 800 stone for the general of the auxiliary state, 600 stone for the general of Fengguo, and 400 stone for the lieutenant of the country...... These clans numbered more than 20,000 people.

According to some data, the annual grain supply to the Jingshi is 4 million stones, but the rice of the sect is as high as 853 stones. Most of the country's financial revenue was divided by these clans.

At a time when the country's finances were under heavy burden, the rice of these clans was inevitably affected. It was precisely in this way that they went to the officials of the Zongren Mansion to vent their anger, and even found the head of the subordinate yamen of the Ministry of Rites.

After learning the news, Lin Haoran knew that he would have to wait for this day, and Wu Shan was afraid that he really wouldn't have the time to pay attention to the three of them.

Lin Haoran took a pot of ginseng tea, and asked Sun Jixiang to find some books about the Ming Dynasty, especially the information about the clan, and then slowly flipped through it.

He plans to have a deeper understanding of the Ming Dynasty, this era, and the court where this ill was born through the historical books of the Hanlin Academy in this idle day.

I have to say that Lin Haoran picked a good "secretary", and Sun Jixiang seemed to know his intentions. I picked out a lot of information about the clan and gave him a clear understanding of the clan problem, and at the same time had data to support it.

For example, Kaifeng Mansion in Henan Province, there was only one Zhou Wangfu in the Hongwu period. But by the Jiajing Dynasty, the number of county kings had increased to thirty-nine, and there were more than 500 generals, and there were countless generals and below.

I have to say that the price paid by the Ming Wangfu in order to prevent the clan from rebelling is too high. There was no problem in the early Ming Dynasty, but now, it has become the first major disadvantage of the Ming Dynasty.
