There is no grade for companion reading, but there is a salary, which is ten taels per month. However, this is only superficial, and there are additional rewards if you meet a generous one. However, look at this thrifty person, who is actually a stingy Zhu Youzhen, don't count on additional rewards. And looking at his proud appearance, he obviously knew that he had to add an extra pair of dishes and chopsticks to his house, of course, there were still three pairs, plus two invisible ones, and he couldn't let his brother and Xiao Shunzi Xiao Jizi he brought over hungry, and the one who packed for the two. Actually, it's a loss.

Wash the horse, this is an official, three products, thirty-five taels per month. It's a lot of money.

However, you should not be too happy too early, because the officials of the Ming Dynasty are not real money, but are calculated according to the price of rice. Now, the rice on the market is eight coins of silver and one stone, which means that Mao Yulong can receive forty-nine stones of rice every month. This seems to be no less. However, you still don't rejoice too early, because in essence, this set of the Ming Dynasty's Yulu system has not been well implemented in the process of implementation. The rice in the form was only available to officials on the surface, but in the actual distribution process, there was a phenomenon of "folding", that is, part of the rice was replaced, and the rest was replaced by paper money, cloth, silk and other items.

Unfortunately, these items continued to depreciate during the Ming Dynasty, and the real income of officials continued to shrink. Really converted, that is, eighteen or nineteen taels. Fortunately, in one month, according to Mao Yulong's expenses for no other grooms, sedan chair drivers, etc., eighteen or nineteen taels plus fifteen taels of companionship, there is also an income of thirty taels, which is very good. But with the more food and drink from this king of letters, and the expenses of the three eunuchs he brought, and even the food and take, it was not much. And the Ming Dynasty's Yulu distribution is not accurate at all, I don't know if it will be distributed this month, who said it accurately?

As for why everyone is still flocking to such a lu, there is gray income. But Mao Yulong didn't. Because there is no prince yet, who walks around to give gifts to the horse washing of the James Mansion? As for King Xin, pull it down, everyone is unanimously holding back their strength to prevent him from becoming the emperor, who will burn this cold stove?

"Starting tomorrow, you'll have to pay for food." Mao Yulong said to Zhu Youzhen with a depressed face.

"A prince, and he is also an upright prince of Daming, can eat a meal at your house, that's to give you face, others want me to go to his house for a meal, and he can't get this kind of face."

"I don't want this face."

"What a glorious thing it is that you are now my companion, that is, my scholar?"

"I don't want this glory, you better go."

"You're already the horse wash of the James's house."

"The James Mansion is for the crown prince, are you the crown prince?"

I really don't dare to answer this, it's okay to talk nonsense between brothers, but if you really say it in front of the world, it will definitely be a political disaster, and Zhu Youzhen is not stupid.

"Since you are not the crown prince, I am not your subordinate, why should I look at your face?"

Zhu Youzhen's little face was pale and trembling when he was angry.

It's on the bar again, Wang Chengen really has no way to take his brother. Others still can't ask for such an opportunity, but as a result, this brother of his own, and this prince of his own seem to have a natural enmity. And his prince has never given a face to anyone, but the more he scolds his brother, the more addicted he becomes. This prince of mine is simply a masochist, which is really unspeakable.

The two of them sat in the courtyard, and you and I scolded each other. The old lady came over with a plate of fruit to relieve the embarrassment: "Lord Wang, don't blame him, he is a shameless person, and this will be your home in the future." I don't know how to cook anything else, it's okay to eat at home, as long as you eat habitually, you can eat here. ”

Zhu Youzhen immediately stood up, took the fruit handed over by the old lady with both hands, and then glanced at Mao Yulong: "I will ask my palace supervisor Cao Huachun now to set aside a sum of silver for my food expenses." I can say well, it's for the old lady's face, or I'll eat that stingy guy to death. ”

At that time, Mao Yulong was furious, slapped the table and suddenly got up: "You eat me and drink mine, and you say that I am a stingy ghost, are you unreasonable?" As a dignified prince of the Ming court, you oppress and exploit the people so much, and you will be able to repay you as an emperor in the future. As soon as these words came out, Mao Yulong regretted it at the time, he was really confused by himself.

Fortunately, none of the people in the courtyard thought much about it, so they took him as angry.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, in fact, let you be a companion, it's my brother's meaning, you think I'm willing, it's annoying to look at you." As for the horse washing in James's Mansion, it may be that my brother knows that I always come to you to eat and drink, but I just give you a piece of income, you just take the money for nothing, and you take you seriously. ”

Others don't take this matter seriously, but Mao Yulong definitely takes this matter seriously, because the political information revealed here is too strong.

According to the principle, I am a person who travels through and knows the direction of history, and it is impossible to burn this so-called cold stove and take the shortcut to the south. Not all of the people who cross the river are smooth sailing, and they also need to work hard. The reason why most people succeed is simply to be familiar with the direction of history and follow the trend.

I also know that the little guy in front of me will become the emperor in the future, and in principle, I should hug his thigh. But this guy does have a flawed personality, and it's too dangerous. So now Mao Yulong's goal has changed, he is ready to be assigned to a local official by the examination company of the Ministry of Officials after finishing his study of Taixue in the future, and he directly chooses to go to Dongjiang Town and directly help his uncle. Coupled with the economic situation that had been arranged in the south of the Yangtze River, it completely changed the situation of Dongjiang Town, and most directly participated in the war and destroyed the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Absolutely do not participate in the party struggle of the court. Because of the party struggle, no matter who wins, the final outcome will not be good. And getting along with this emperor in the court, the ending will definitely not be good. Historically, this was the case, and by the later period, the hostility of the monarch and the minister had reached its limit. When the officials go to the court, they have to prepare coffins in their own homes, and every day in Chongzhen, if you don't kill a few officials, it will be like the sun coming out of the west. For such a difficult Lord, it is better to stay away from him.

So with this idea, Mao Yulong definitely looked at this Chongzhen more and more unpleasantly, and he didn't want to get along with him at all.

But people are like this, especially the future Emperor Chongzhen, who is a very rebellious mentality, the more Mao Yulong doesn't want to see him here, the more he is begging for Bai Lai's nose and in the face, and he has to stick to himself. And the most important thing is my own mother, the thing of maternal love is indeed too broad, so wide that when it is overflowing, it is simply out of control.

Since Wang Chengen said about the life experience of this little king of letters, my mother has completely melted into the love for this little disguised orphan, and the motherhood is overflowing. Now in this courtyard, Wang Chengen is his mother's first heart baby, and this little guy will indeed come to trouble and coax his mother to turn around. And then there is this hated Zhu Youzhen, who has a cold nose and a cold face to himself, but turns his head to his wife, like a pug. As a result, under the double blow of motherhood and this pug, he became the second person in this yard, and his own son and biological little girl were almost ignored by his mother, where can he reason in this world?

When she complained at night, her mother patiently taught herself: "Anyway, you and Xiaoya have a mother, those two children are really pitiful, you just let him a little." ”。

Mao Yulong could only cover his face and run back to his house.

Looking at the back of Zhu Youzhen, who was just eating and leaving, Mao Yulong gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Okay, okay, since you are an abusive person, then you can look at how I, a little companion, abuse you." If I don't abuse you at this time, when will I wait, I won't have a chance in the future, this is really not time for me. ”
