"When the sun rises and the flowers on the river are as red as the fire, how can we not remember Chongzhen?"
Liu Weichao thought happily and couldn't help but contact him in the other world.
The video was quickly connected. When he saw Emperor Chongzhen on the phone, he couldn't help but said with a little surprise: "You haven't slept yet?"
It can be seen that Emperor Chongzhen is probably still dealing with government affairs, at least the background is not on the bed.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he smiled and said, "Aren't you awake too?"
Liu Weichao smiled after hearing this and quickly told Emperor Chongzhen the good news: "I have a good thing that I can't help but want to tell you! Although to you, this kind of thing is trivial, but to me, it is the most important thing in my life."
Memorable!”
This was his first business, and it was the first business that solved a lot of his stress. It will definitely be remembered for a lifetime!
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but be very interested and asked quickly: "What good thing is it? If you attach so much importance to it, it will definitely not be insignificant to me!"
Having said this, he paused, his expression turned serious and he said, "I really want to know!"
Feeling that he was being taken seriously, Liu Weichao was very happy and immediately replied: "My company hasn't been opened yet. Through a friend's introduction, I got my first order of business. I have already received the 2,400 yuan. Just wait for me to do it."
Bring out the clothes and deliver the goods!”
"Two thousand four hundred yuan? How much is this?" Emperor Chongzhen was indeed very interested when he heard this, but it seemed that his focus was a bit incorrect.
After hearing this, Liu Weichao didn't think much about it. Instead, he felt that the question seemed difficult to answer, so he tried to explain: "Two thousand and four hundred yuan is not much, but it is not much. Well, you can buy it."
A mobile phone of about the same size can last me two months."
Emperor Chongzhen still had no idea after hearing this.
Two thousand and four hundred yuan seems like a lot of money to buy a mobile phone. However, if you eat it for two months, it doesn’t seem like much money?
For a moment, he was a little confused.
Seeing his expression, Liu Weichao probably understood what he was thinking, so he went to the computer to operate it, and then said to Emperor Chongzhen: "If calculated according to my current silver price, about 2,400 yuan can buy about 10 taels of silver.
.”
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen had an idea and immediately praised: "That's not bad. 10 taels of silver can probably buy 8 shi of grain..."
At this point, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and then said to Liu Weichao: "Eight stones of grain can be eaten for a year. Why can you only eat it for two months?"
When Liu Weichao heard this, he felt something was wrong.
Logically speaking, modern productivity is far from what it was in the Ming Dynasty, and prices should be cheaper than in the Ming Dynasty!
Thinking like this, he explained: "When I say we need to eat for two months, I mean eating rice with vegetables, not just white rice every day!"
After finishing speaking, Liu Weichao simply said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Wait a minute, if you only eat white rice, let me see how much it is!"
Then, he immediately searched for the price of rice, which was 2.5 yuan per catty. He used 2,400 yuan to subtract this and got a result.
Since he was already doing the math, Liu Weichao simply searched for prices during the Chongzhen period, then did some calculations, and got a result.
Then, he was a little dumbfounded.
Because Liu Weichao discovered that in terms of rice prices, it was indeed cheaper during the Chongzhen period!
Even if this was just a gross estimate, such a result was a bit unacceptable to him.
Where is this improvement in productivity reflected?
This is unscientific!
His mobile phone was placed vertically next to the computer. Emperor Chongzhen could not see anything else, but he could see Liu Weichao's expression.
Therefore, after he saw the change in Liu Weichao's expression, he asked curiously: "What's the result?"
Upon hearing the question, Liu Weichao picked up his phone again and answered truthfully with some helplessness: "It seems that with the same money, you can buy more rice over there. It's really strange!"
Emperor Chongzhen knew so much, but when he heard this, he asked a little strangely: "What's so strange?"
"How can things be more expensive than where you are?" Liu Weichao couldn't understand. After muttering to himself, suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he added with a little joy: "I even forgot about my income.
It's different! You see, my monthly salary before was nearly 9,000, so I calculated it as 8,000 taels in hand. If I estimate it gross, it should be about 34 taels in silver. Over there, your monthly income is 34 taels.
, what kind of income is it probably?”
Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen was a little surprised, and immediately replied: "This is probably the salary that only a third-grade official can get. Is your income also the top among you?"
"..." Liu Weichao was speechless upon hearing this, and immediately shook his head and said: "My industry is higher than other industries, but my income level is not high. After all, I only graduated a little over a year ago. Those monthly salaries
High, even tens of thousands are ordinary!”
At this point, he finally thought of something again, and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Remember, your salary in the Ming Dynasty is notoriously low. By the way, won't you have to catch anti-corruption officials from time to time in the future? If you
If you give your officials such low salaries, they will become corrupt even if they don't want to be corrupt, right? I am a bachelor, and all your subordinates have to support their families!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen was a little embarrassed, and immediately replied: "This matter is under discussion. I also want to increase their salary, but I don't know how much to increase. We are still discussing it!"
After hearing this, Liu Weichao thought for a while and said: "Let me tell you, it's better for you to confirm this matter as early as possible. If my boss wants me to work again and doesn't give me a salary increase, it will only be a little money.
I would have quit a long time ago!"
As soon as he heard this, Emperor Chongzhen thought of Liu Weichao's former boss whom he had scolded for being blind-sighted, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. No matter what, he couldn't be like that kind of person!
Another point is that Emperor Chongzhen knew Liu Weichao, and his character was beyond question. But even so, Liu Weichao said he wanted to leave, so his ministers all betrayed him in the end. Is it possible that this was also the reason why they felt they were being treated badly?
Got them?
But it seems that the situation is different!
Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about this, and Liu Weichao said to him again: "In addition, it seems that the officials over there don't have salaries? These are civil servants. If you don't give them money, they will definitely think
Find ways to use the power in your hands to make money! Therefore, I suggest you, it is best to set a salary for them. The market situation at the founding of the country is definitely no longer applicable after two or three hundred years! What do you think?"
