Chapter 597 The Imperial Physician Orders So Little Salary?!
Chapter 597: The imperial physician’s salary is so low?!
"I seem to understand..." Wei Zi felt that her guess was too bold.
But Feng Danyuan told her clearly that her guess was not bold at all:
"If you are on the same level as King Yan, there is no problem, but it is not painful or itchy. The emperor will definitely reward you with something; but if you are higher than King Yan, 'King Chen', what a supreme honor, the emperor can justifiably refuse to give it."
Other rewards can only be given to a prince's palace."
"So the answer to your question is simple: the emperor wants to save money."
Wei Zi opened her mouth, as if listening to a fantasy: This is too subversive of her view of history and worldview?!
"real?"
"Really." Feng Danyuan couldn't help but reached out and pinched her face: "The emperor is also an ordinary person, not a saint. He has many little ones!"
Wei Zi swatted his hand away: "Your royal family is really... it's hard to describe in words."
She thought about it for a day, but she couldn't think of this answer no matter what.
Feng Danyuan pretended to have a serious face: "What 'you' means is 'us'."
Wei Zi smiled dryly: "Are there any benefits to being a royal?"
"No, once you enter the Feng family, the emperor can openly deduct various rewards from you." Feng Danyuan softened his voice: "However, you are already on the ship now. Whether this matter is good or bad depends on
I can recognize it."
Wei Zi: "..."
Forget it, she didn't want to continue this topic, so she wanted to change it to another one.
"What's in these two bags?" Wei Zi discovered it as soon as he got in the car.
Using "discovery" is not accurate enough. After all, the two bags, one large and one small, were very eye-catching when placed in the carriage.
"Salary." Feng Danyuan was speechless when he mentioned this matter: "Don't you know that you have to go to the palace every month to get the monthly salary?"
Wei Zi smiled awkwardly.
In modern times, wages are paid directly into the card, and she usually only glances at the number - money is just a number to her anyway.
As a matter of habit, she was busy day and night, and Su Nian arranged everything for her food, clothing, housing and transportation, so she would never think about "salary" again.
"Doctor Wei, you really regard money as dirt." Feng Danyuan laughed at her.
"Su Nian said, my current persona is that of the imperial doctor who cares about the country and the people, and is devoted to curing the plague. Of course, trivial matters such as money should not be my concern."
Wei Zi opened her eyes and told lies while going through the two pockets: "So much difference?!"
In the big bag, there was a pile of silver, and in the small bag, there were only two ingots of silver and some broken silver.
"Your salary is three months' salary. If you didn't take it, I'll take it for you." Feng Danyuan casually gave Wei Zi another critical blow.
"How many months are you talking about?" she struggled to ask.
"One month."
"..."
Stimulated by Feng Danyuan's salary, Wei Zi became uneasy: "Why is the monthly salary of a fourth-grade official so small?"
"Add 'Cong', from the fourth grade, and it's twenty-five taels a month."
Wei Zi was stunned: "..."
Feng Danyuan was very amused when he saw his doctor Wei acting like this: "Isn't your persona 'a doctor from the imperial hospital who cares about the country and the people, and is dedicated to treating the plague'? You don't need to worry about such a small thing as your monthly salary."
"Is this a matter of money?" Wei Zi felt extremely insulted: "Our Imperial Hospital has worked so hard, but the Imperial Physician's monthly salary is only twenty-five taels! So aren't Imperial Physician Wu and the others even less?"
