Chapter 919: Civil Servant? (Kneeling and begging for a commuter pass)
In addition, there is another thing, that is, the moon smelt, the moon squirrel in the Wude years called the, only give copper money and food, and now, Uncle Li has made a reform, in addition to Lu rice, no longer give the moon smelt food, but to copper coins and silk cloth for the month, this is a better change, at least not let the officials every time they receive wages, always like migrant workers carrying bags of rice to go, but only need to hold the silk cloth with both hands like dancing a pas de deux chic step to rush home.
Of course, these are Beijing officials, just like Nalu rice, only the share of Beijing officials, and foreign officials have no Lu, so they can only look at the officials in the capital with red eyes and smile with Lu Mile, which is why the foreign officials broke their heads and wanted to squeeze into the city.
In the early years of Zhenguan, Gao Jifu, a scholar from the Chinese Academy, suggested: "Foreign officials are humble and poor, and it is advisable to support their relatives." After that, Uncle Li made a new rule, Xu foreign officials are one rank lower than Beijing officials to Lu, the first grade is fifty stones, the second and third grades are thirty stones, the fourth and fifth grades are twenty stones, the sixth and seventh grades are five stones, and the eighth and ninth grades are two stones and five buckets. If there is no millet, salt will be used instead of Lu.
Of course, in addition to these, there are also the office fields and Yongye fields granted to the officials, and the office fields are the land given to the officials by the political axe, and they have the right to use it, but they have no ownership, and only the income from the food and rent tax is shared, and they must be returned when they are transferred or resigned. In addition, the Yongye field, from the first product of 60 hectares to the fifth grade of 5 hectares, descendants to use.
Nowadays, the salaries of officials at all levels in Datang are not low, but there is a considerable gap in them, that is, miscellaneous affairs. You can't wear an official robe and wander the streets all day long and tell everyone what to do and what not to do, right?
In addition, everything they use, such as pen, ink, paper, inkstones, and other office supplies, even toilet paper, have to pay for themselves. Well, after the natural Fang's Paper Mill opened thirty-seven branches in various provinces in the Tang Dynasty, at least the men, women and children in Chang'an City already looked down on the disgusting bamboo chips.
------------------------------------------------ that is to say, the miscellaneous work of the officials, the office, including the hired staff, have to pay for themselves, there is no way, after the abolition of hard labor, who will have nothing to drill into the yamen? Besides, in the past, laborers generally could not enter the official office, but used the exemption money to invite idle people and urban residents as ordinary employees, and now the exemption money has been abolished, so what will be used to offset this office expense and employment fee in the future? Do you want these officials to pay for themselves?
This is definitely impossible, in addition, the officials above the fifth grade are also equipped with a defense cabinet, which is equivalent to the guards of later generations, which also costs money, just like the hundreds of generals of this son, if it is under normal circumstances, like me, just with those dead wages, I am afraid that in a year, most of the hundreds of families will die, well, starvation.
"Lord Cui's words are really like the bell of respecting the world, well, these are the things that the official really hasn't thought about." I touched my chin, and it was a big problem. What to do? How to fix it? If this is not solved well, it will definitely be a big trouble, first, the office expenses have never been officially mentioned in Datang, the most important thing is that in the past, everyone directly withdrew from the exemption money, and now there is no exemption money, how to withdraw these expenses? That's the first big problem.
Another problem is, if you invite people to do all kinds of work, you can't just call us nine people here in one county, right? Then you can't be tired to death? Now there are still people in the yamen, and that's because after the announcement, it will only be implemented next year, but next year, we can't be like the village cadres in the 50s, like a village and a village, right?
"I didn't expect that there was a problem at the beginning, okay, okay!" Uncle Li was there and applauded, and I almost wanted to put my hand on his head and ask if the old rascal had a stroke. A bunch of bad things have come out, and your old man also said that if it were someone else, I am afraid that I would have kicked it earlier, and it would be you, the head of the Tang Dynasty imperialism, that I specially saved you two faces.
"Virtuous son-in-law, what are you doing with a sad face, is there anything else that is difficult to do?" Uncle Li smiled at me and was very cheerful. I finally couldn't help it, poked my head and asked cautiously, "Father-in-law, are you okay?" ”
Uncle Li smiled and nodded, and then he realized that something was wrong, and shook his eyebrows at me angrily: "Bastard boy, are you still an old man who is dizzy?" ”
"No, my son-in-law hasn't seen your old man for a long time, just ask, hehe." I hurriedly argued, and Uncle Li glared at me angrily: "The old man eats and sleeps well, there are happy events to report every day, my Tang Dynasty sings and dances, so prosperous, the old man is happy all the time, if there is something wrong, it will also make your kid angry." ”
"......" I was speechless, and Uncle Li smiled proudly and put the surname report on the new tax system that I had worked so hard to summarize on the table, and nodded very clearly: "Actually, if you don't take it, son-in-law, the old man will go to let people go to you, what is this?" ”
Uncle Li reached out and took a notebook from the table, and I looked at it...... The old man presented the notebook three days ago, and it was these problems that he was worried about. I froze, the old man is too talented, right? Is this something to be expected, or maybe the old man installed a bugging device behind my ass?
"Hehe, Fang's family, father and son are the pillars of the country......" Uncle Li patted me on the shoulder, with an expression that I had never seen the wrong person. Hearing what he said, I could only smile dryly and nod and explain: "Father-in-law, in fact, these problems were not discovered by the son-in-law, but raised by Master Cui Renshi to the son-in-law. ”
Uncle Li stroked his long black beard and looked at me with a smile, well, I can see that this son is a little weak-hearted, who knows what this old rascal wants to do? Uncle Li took a sip of the teacup, and Fang said with a smile: "Virtuous son-in-law, what the old man values most about you is not only that you know how to recommend talents, know how to use talents, know how to exchange the smallest interests for the greatest national interests, and know how to learn from things, but because you have no selfish intentions." ”
After listening to Uncle Li's words, I felt that my face at the corner of the city wall and bricks was a little hot, and I really like to listen to my words, but it is really easy to make people feel embarrassed by such unintentional praise.
"Hehe, you kid also know that he's blushing? Tut-tut, rare, hahaha...... "Uncle Li laughed there without skin and face, making the old man angry, this old rascal still cares about national affairs, and he is like an unscrupulous underworld boss in the whole day."
------------------------------------------------ "Here's this." Look at ......" Uncle Li laughed full, and took out another notebook from the desk, I opened it and understood, Uncle Li and the old yin people in the court had already thought of countermeasures, but they wanted to see if the IQ of this son could reach one hundred and eighteen, and whether it was a problem.
Weinan County is the county of the Tang Dynasty, allowing the employment of 80 people who work for the political axe, Yulu, paid by the local tax, and its Fenglu is the same as from the nine products, however, not awarded Fangtian, not awarded Yongye Tian, the term of appointment is one year, and those who have good work performance can continue to renew the contract, and those who are not satisfied can be dismissed.
In addition, the office expenses are also drawn from the local taxes, but the approval of these two expenses is in the hands of the county magistrate, and the person responsible for the custody of the collected taxes is the treasurer Yuwenjie, and the office expenses and the right to hire the staff to set up the project are provided by the head Bo Li Yifu, and naturally, the audit power is in the hands of the county Cheng Cui Renshi. However, the supervision power is in the hands of the county lieutenant Li Qianyou, okay, a group of old hooligans think more carefully than me, and this son is a county order that has been pinched to death by a few, however, I like this way, there is supervision, and it will be reduced [***].
I shook the detailed copy almost to the extreme, and smiled bitterly at Uncle Li: "Father-in-law, aren't you teasing your son-in-law?" I gave this thing to my son-in-law a long time ago, and I don't need my son-in-law to be scared. ”
"Hehe, it's no wonder the old man, who made you wake up so early, the old man and a group of Aiqing also stayed up for two days before they finally came up with such a copy, as for the effect, it's not a matter of words." Uncle Li stroked his long beard and smiled at me, finally recovering his face to talk about business.
I nodded vigorously: "Yes, it will definitely be done, with these fixed civil servants, and there is no need for officials to hire personnel themselves, not only reduces the problem of personnel recruitment of officials, reduces the probability of officials being greedy for ink when they are short of money and food, but also allows these civil servants to get a fixed job, so that they can work with peace of mind." ”
"Civil servants?" Uncle Li looked at me, very innocent at the moment, and his expression was very curious: "Who are you talking about?" "I'm speechless......
