To give a very simple example, for example, a county magistrate of the seventh grade has a monthly salary of seven stones and five buckets of rice, which is equivalent to about ten taels of silver, which is equivalent to the salary of a shopkeeper. Well, in fact, ten taels of silver is enough for his family of four or five. People's expenses are spent. But the bad thing is that the salary in the Ming Dynasty was watery. It was always three yuan and seven yuan. Due to the excessive issuance of banknotes, the county magistrate could only get two stones and five buckets of brown rice plus insufficient money. One tael of silver, if there is no corruption, let alone wearing silk and satin, living in a spacious house in a prosperous area, and maintaining the most basic human exchanges of welcome and delivery, I am afraid that the county magistrate will not even have to buy a few kilograms for his family. You have to think about the meat.
Therefore, when Pang Gang officially established himself as a king and became a boss, he hated this kind of salary and immediately ordered an overall salary increase for his employees. All the salaries were paid in white silver. A seventh-grade official every day The monthly salary is fifty taels of silver, which is equivalent to more than fifteen thousand yuan in later generations. This kind of salary is enough for an official to live a decent life, and Pang Gang also announced that all officials will Every month, you will receive a salary equivalent to 70% of your salary before you become an official, and you will receive it until you burp your butt.
Sure enough, when Pang Gang announced this salary standard, I don’t know how many officials cried with joy. In ancient times, there was no such thing as pension. After an official became an official, the court would not be responsible for the rest of his life. Therefore, many officials after becoming an official People's lives will be in trouble. As soon as Pang Gang's measure came out, it immediately solved the worries of many officials, and naturally it was warmly welcomed.
However, if there is a good thing, there must be a negative. The officials were relieved, but Kong Ruolan, Pang Gang's money steward, was not very happy. In Kong Ruolan's view, these officials were eating and drinking with their own money. I'll give you more. Not only salary, but also responsible for your pension and retirement. This is the same treatment as our biological father. What's going on?
"Okay, okay. Look at you, your little mouth can even hold a bottle of oil." Pang Gang joked with a smile and shaved her straight nose.
Kong Ruolan just took the opportunity to act coquettishly in front of her husband. With Pang Gang's comfort, her mood quickly recovered. Kong Ruolan took her husband's hand and said, "By the way, Your Majesty, now Ling'er and Qiao'er are pregnant." , as a husband, you should pay more attention to them when you have time. Now is the time when they need comfort. Don’t wrong them, and don’t let the word out to people outside that I, a big woman, can’t tolerate others.”
At first glance, this sentence sounded like someone caring about his sisters at home, but Pang Gang smelled a faint sour smell from it.
"Okay, I understand." Pang Gang secretly smiled bitterly. Having too many wives is troublesome. No, Ling'er and Qiao'er were pregnant one after another in the first two months. Although they were just Pang Gang's concubine, but Pang Gang, a person with future generations' thoughts, actually didn't attach much importance to this status. Therefore, he often went to accompany the two of them. No, even Kong Ruolan became a little jealous.
Just when Pang Gang couldn't laugh or cry, there was a soft sound of footsteps outside the door, and soon a graceful figure opened the door and walked in without knocking. Pang Gang knew who it was without even looking. Now the whole palace was out of control. Who else dared to push in without knocking on the door of his several daughters-in-law?
Sure enough, Wei Man Ting's clear yet steady voice rang out in the study, "Your Majesty, news just came from the north. The bandits in Shaanxi have organized their troops and are preparing to march to the capital!"
"What?" Pang Gang stood up immediately, knocking the teacup on the table to the ground because of his too big movements, but the look in his eyes was more complicated. It was relief with a hint of surprise. He
He asked with a trembling voice: "The thieves finally took action?"
"Yes. Your lord, the bandits have taken action!" There was a smile on Wei Manting's pretty face, a smile of relief that she had everything under control.
There was silence in the study for a long time, and then Pang Gang's voice sounded in the room: "In that case, let's start taking action..."
In a mansion in Qingyang City, Shaanxi Province, Li Yanzheng, Niu Jinxing, and Song Xiance were walking on a secluded path. It was a crisp autumn day, and the path was full of gorgeous chrysanthemums.
Li Yan walked to a chrysanthemum, stretched out his hand and gently picked a white chrysanthemum and said softly: "Pick chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely see the Nanshan Mountain." Tao Yuanming's song "Drinking" fully expresses the feelings of chrysanthemum lovers.
"Look, you two, this is a chrysanthemum produced in Hao County, Anhui Province, and it was transplanted here. It seems that the original owner here is also a chrysanthemum lover."
Song Xiance smiled and said: "Master Li, from my humble opinion, the owner here may not be a chrysanthemum lover, but he must be rich and powerful, otherwise he would not be able to raise such precious flowers. Niu Junshang, you
What do you say?"
Niu Jinxing laughed, shook his head and chanted: "Master Li is a little negative, this poem is not good. Mr. Niu likes this poem better, "When autumn comes on September 8th, after my flowers bloom, hundreds of flowers will be killed.
The incense formation soaring into the sky spreads through Chang'an, and the city is filled with golden armor. "You two also tell me, does this chrysanthemum match the actions of our rebels at this time?"
Li Yan was silent for a while before saying: "It seems that Military Advisor Niu is very confident in our action this time."
Niu Jinxing raised his thick eyebrows and asked: "Why, Mr. Li has no confidence in our rebel army?"
After listening to Niu Jinxing's words, Li Yan's brows wrinkled imperceptibly, and a strange color appeared on Song Xiance's face, and then returned to his usual light smile.
What Niu Jinxing said just now was a bit heart-wrenching. What do you mean by "having no confidence in our rebel army?" If these words reached the ears of the Chuang King Li Zicheng or the generals of the Chuang Army, there was no guarantee that they would not arouse dissatisfaction among the people.
But the generals have no confidence in their own actions. What is the nature of that? To put it lightly, it means that it cannot be reused, and to put it seriously, it shakes the morale of the army. This crime is definitely not a light one.
Li Yan clenched and then loosened his hands behind his back. After repeating this action several times, he said calmly: "Military Niu made serious words, but I am indeed a little worried about King Chuang's move to Beijing this time. It's a pity that Chuang
The king refuses to listen to my dissuasion, so what can Li do?"
Niu Jinxing laughed and picked a chrysanthemum, and said contemptuously: "Master Li, you just like to worry about things. At the moment, the Ming Dynasty is still crumbling. All we have to do is give him a gentle push, and he will
Just like this chrysanthemum..."
After saying that, Niu Jinxing blew gently, and the beautiful chrysanthemums fell to the ground...
