Chapter 3694: Reassuring Pill
"But this time I was just a reminder to me. I didn't even notice the issue of the salary of officials." Chen Xi naturally changed the topic.
To be honest, ten years ago, the salary was actually very high, because the salary of the Han Dynasty was calculated based on grain, and the salary of ten thousand stones was already high enough. But now, due to Chen Xi's stable prices, the salary of ten thousand stones was actually only one million yuan.
From the perspective of purchasing power, this is indeed quite high. But if you think about it carefully, this is the three officials. If it is replaced by the lowest level bureaucrat, the kind of one hundred stones, it is only tens of thousands of coins a year, while the lowest level officials are only a few dozen stones a year, and if it is replaced by the lowest level, it is only a few thousand coins a year.
After thinking about this, Chen Xi understood why those minor officials were part-time temporary workers. No skilled adult earned a lot when working in the city.
"It seems that Chang'an has to calculate the salary of middle and lower officials in the second half and lower class." Chen Xi sighed and said, "The Three Dukes and Nine Lords don't use much adjustments. At least the middle and lower class really need to adjust and modify their salary structure. I really ignored it before."
To be honest, the salaries of officials in the Han Dynasty have not been adjusted for hundreds of years. Although the middle and lower-level officials feel that they are a little tight, those who are now officials have experienced ten years ago and ten years ago are even tighter, so they really don’t pay attention.
As for the things that happened, some officials did this, but they were quickly reported and taken down. After all, the current supervision organization is still very powerful. Of course, Yanzhou really exceeded the capabilities of the supervision organization that time.
"Oh, what are you going to adjust?" Bai Qi asked with interest.
"Put some other things, the salary is still so much. I will give you some other things and get another salary at the end of the year." Chen Xi sighed and said, "I really didn't notice that the lower-level bureaucrats are far less than the income of being a soldier. Although this is reasonable, in order to avoid something, it is better to adjust it."
Chen Xi does not seek high salary to support integrity? Chen Xi seeks a relatively reasonable system to suppress the greedy side of human nature and does not give these people the opportunity to embezzle? But Chen Xi will not fail to solve the problem after discovering that there is a problem with the salary of the bureaucrats.
Although Chen Xi banned bureaucrats from doing business, relatives within three generations need to report on their business? But to be honest, others really need to do business? This method cannot be stopped? If a person simply finds someone who can trust his own, it is really impossible to find a glove. This can solve the problem.
If you really want to say that this ban is more about guarding against gentlemen and not villains, but overall Chen Xi also knows what else is? Not to mention it? The people in Chang'an actually reported all the people who should report, and those who can be in that position basically have titles, in addition to official positions, there are also salary for titles.
So Chen Xi is very clear? The problem with salary should be due to the middle and lower-level bureaucrats below, perhaps because of the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty? Most bureaucrats actually don’t think there is any problem with salary, but this kind of thing is not a long-term solution? It is better to solve it as soon as possible.
"Ah, another large salary has been paid." Chen Xi sighed and said.
Of course, this is just a joke? It sounds like a terrible thing to raise wages to all officials? In fact, it is not like that.
Because the proportion of officials and population in the Qin and Han dynasties was actually about one thousandth? Chen Xi's existence increased the proportion slightly, but it basically maintained at a level of four to five thousand to one.
This is also the reason why Chen Xi decided to raise his salary instantly after discovering this problem. It involved 10,000 people to death. It was not needed for all the ministers. One of the two thousand stones was calculated, and no one was needed. The rest was within the scope of the salary increase.
Those people have the highest basic salary of only 1,000 shi. Chen Xi actually doesn't count as much as doubled, not to mention that it is impossible to double it. At that time, adjust the salary structure and change the salary composition into the original salary plus rewards, current governance ratings, other materials, etc., but this needs to be thought about, and the province's good coups and bad policies are in bad terms.
To be honest, Chen Xi has encountered many things in recent years that he thought about good governance, and then he did it because he was not good at managing and turned into bad governance. Therefore, he became more cautious when working. There is no way. Nowadays, it is difficult to determine what the situation is before he does it.
"I always feel that you seem to be very casual when spending money." Han Xin said with emotion after putting the money in his pocket.
"You have to know that spending money is also a technical job, and it is a very important technical job." Chen Xi looked at Han Xin very seriously and said. This is not nonsense. This is a very important knowledge point in later generations, and it is difficult for most people to truly master it.
"Tsk, in this regard, we won't refute you." Bai Qi reached out and knocked on the table, then said to Chen Xi in a rather casual tone.
"Uh, do you mean that you need it too?" Chen Xi looked at Bai Qi with some confusion. He suddenly realized that Bai Qi might also need some living expenses.
"I won't need it anymore. The money has not been spent. You paid a lot of class hours before you made advances, but now it's still mostly." Bai Qi said very freely. He is different from Han Xin. Han Xin needs a sense of existence, but my dignified Wu'an Jun Bai Qi is completely different from Han Xin.
We are both famous generals, and we are not in the same style at all. Although everyone is very good at fighting, there is no similarity except for being able to fight.
"Oh, too, I feel that there are not much money when I go to the theater to throw money later." Chen Xi recalled that the intensity of Bai Qi's scattering coins later was greatly reduced, but nothing, Chen Xi still used Bai Qi's money as paper. Anyway, Bai Qi could not buy the industry on a large scale.
"It's not that I've gone less, but that you've gone less." Bai Qi said quietly, holding the teacup, while Han Xin looked at Bai Qi gritted his teeth. He gave him 200 million yuan at that time, and then told himself that he had given him 80%. Later, Han Xin realized that Bai Qi meant that he gave him 80% of the class hours, and that he was not a son of the human race!
"Oh, I really go to less. There is no way, I want to work." Chen Xi recalled that he really seems to be working more this year.
On the other hand, Liu Tong ran back excitedly to find Wen Shi because she had already received relatively accurate news. Regarding this, Liu Tong really felt that Chen Xi had no need to lie to her.
"Hurry, come here and give me a reference." Liu Tong looked at Zhen Mi and Wu Yuan who were chatting with Wen and spoke immediately.
Zhen Mi and Wu Yuan have become interested in fiefdoms because of Chen Xi’s previous problems. The largest fiefdom in the Central Plains is undoubtedly the fiefdom of Duke Zhong. So after Liu Tong ran away, Zhen Mi and Wu Yuan began to learn about Duke Zhong’s fiefdom.
After all, the information they obtained was completely different from what the people next to the Duke of Zhongguo, such as Wen, learned about, and not to mention that these two guys had never learned about the Fengguo carefully before.
To be honest, it is difficult to talk about other things. Zhen Mi and Wu Yuan and Wen Shi are not only engaged in the backyard, but also accompanying Stina or Yuan Tan around, and there are few records of contact with other noble ladies.
Although Deng Zhen and Deng Tong's wife were counted, they did not meet many times, and even Wen could not find gossip topics between his wife.
However, when talking about Yuan's situation, Wen's family is very familiar with each other, both good and bad, but overall it is still positive. Her husband's combat ability is still very good, so when Liu Tong came back, he saw Wen's situation in Sizhao City with a gaze.
"Ahem, your highness, what's going on over there?" Wen calmed down his mind and asked with a smile. Whether it's done or not can be accepted by Wen.
"Ah, no problem. Chen Zichuan was borrowed a large amount of money by his younger brother recently. He happened to be at a node again and was too lazy to turn around." Liu Tong thought for a while and explained to Wen based on his own knowledge, "So there is no problem with gold, I decided to collect it."
There is no way, the Yuan family’s gold is good and the price is low, and the quantity is large and the quantity is better, so after Liu Tong confirmed that there is no problem, he decided to eat it all. If he remembers correctly, he still has more than one billion yuan.
"I'll buy some too." Zhen Mi and Wu Yuan looked at each other and just made sure there was no problem.
Wen sighed when he heard this, but nodded at the three of them with a smile on his face. It was considered taking action. He was considering buying something with money.
"The next one is this. This year, your husband said that he had no living expenses for the previous reason. He gave me this and asked me to choose for myself. Please help me see what should I choose?" Liu Tong handed the rolled up list to Zhen Mi, then looked depressed.
"Ah, there is no New Year's money, it's good not." Zhen Mi was quite happy. To be honest, every year when he heard that Chen Xi gave Liu Tong New Year's money, Zhen Mi felt very distressed. Even if she knew that it was right, she felt that my husband didn't send me so much, so why did he send you so much?
Then Liu Tong and Zhen Mi got together without any surprises, and they struggled for a while before stopping. At this time, Wu Yuan had already opened the scroll and looked at the list of the scrolls. Wen Shi on the other side was also staring at the list of the scrolls.
"No problem." Wu Yuan just glanced at it and confirmed that the farms and factories above existed. After all, it was different from an outsider like Liu Tong who did not pay attention to these things. Wu Yuan is an expert in this regard and has some understanding of the factories on the list.
