Although Zhang Yichen was dissatisfied with Luo Chengduo in his heart, he became more and more cordial on the surface.

Early in the morning, Zhang Yichen invited Luo Cheng to his public house.

"I heard that yesterday Shicheng, you chose some slaves?"

"Hmm."

"It's my negligence, our county got these more than 3,000 slaves this time, in fact, it's all your credit. Reward and punish the fault, and you can't forget you, a great hero. I consulted with the county and decided to give you a hundred slaves as a reward. ”

A hundred slaves are worth a lot, not to mention that the youngest and strongest slave can be worth at least twenty or thirty times, let's just say that ordinary slaves can be worth at least ten times. Even if it is one ten, these hundred slaves can be worth a thousand.

In a small place like Zhangqiu, the reward of Qianguan is indeed amazing.

"Envoy, Luo Chengan dares to accept this big reward!"

"Hey, merit is rewarded, why don't you dare. You lead the pioneer battalion, isn't it the same? If there is no reward for the public, how can you serve the public, and how to appease people? A hundred slaves, you deserve it. ”

"I wanted to reward you with some money, but I think it's better to give you a slave directly, if you don't need so much, just sell it."

"In addition, you are now also a Jiupin Lixin Lieutenant, and you are still the acting county lieutenant, so according to the imperial court system, you are eligible to enjoy the treatment of the post field, and the amount of land received by Yongye Field has also increased by 200 mu accordingly. Some time ago, the county just confiscated a lot of land, and I have asked people to select 200 acres of fertile land as your duty field. ”

The post field was regarded as a kind of benefit given to officials by the Great Sui court.

In the early days, there were officials in Beijing and no foreign officials. Wulu gave the land, so the foreign officials relied on the rent of the post field to live. And now that the Great Sui is rich, the foreign officials also have Lu and Yu, and this post is still there.

Different grades can enjoy the corresponding job fields.

Luo Cheng didn't have a job as a lieutenant of Jiupin Lixin, but he was the acting county commander or the county governor, so Zhang Yichen generously gave him 200 acres of land.

It is generally customary for officials to cultivate the fields themselves, but to hand them over to the self-cultivated farmers in the county with better conditions, and the imperial court even stipulated that the rent per mu for these fields should not exceed six liters.

One acre receives six liters, which is roughly the appearance of thirty rents, which is not high.

If Luo Cheng gets 200 acres of job land, he can actually get 16 yuan a year's rent, which is also a good income. After all, a nine-rank official like him, Lu rice in a year is only fifty-two stones.

"The county now has a lot of official land on hand, so I will also allocate 200 acres of official Yongye land to you."

After all, Luo Cheng has a nine-rank official rank, and there is a temporary official position, so the official Yongye Tian is between being able to give and not giving, Zhang Yichen, the county order, has a good relationship with Luo Cheng now, and he said that he would give it to this field.

As a result, Luo Cheng got another 200 acres of land.

The difference between these 200 acres of land and the previous 200 job fields is that the job field has a job to have a land, and if there is no job, it must be taken away, and this kind of land is generally rent-collected, not actually owned.

But Yongye Tian is different, this land is given to Luo Cheng, and it can be passed on to children and grandchildren in the future.

200 acres of land, but it is a real benefit.

Zhang Yichen didn't discount at all, you must know that the relationship between the base is not good, and it is normal not to give, even if it is given, it is unlikely to be in place. It's like the common people equalizing the land, saying that one hundred acres is actually twenty acres.

"Thank you."

"Thanks, you deserve it."

"There is also a public office field in our county, and every year the money collected from the rent and sale of the public office is used as a public office to lend and collect interest, and the income is not only used for the office paper and pen expenses of the public office, but also the monthly salary and food and miscellaneous money of the officials." Zhang Yichen wrenched his fingers and counted the income with Luo Cheng, "You are now a ninth grade, your monthly salary is 1,000, and you have 250 food money, 200 miscellaneous expenses, and 555 servant fees, a total of 2,000 yuan a month." ”

The salaries of officials in the Sui Dynasty can be divided into three parts, namely land, Lu rice and money, the land is the official Yongye field and the post field, and Lu rice is calculated on an annual basis and paid twice a year. And the money is paid on a monthly basis, and it is money that is spent.

In the money, there are also some miscellaneous incomes, such as meal subsidies, such as this miscellaneous use, such as the money for hired servants, which does not add up much, and Jiupin is only 2,000 yuan.

But that's on the bright side.

In reality, how can it be only two thousand? After all, the official of a soap class in Zhangqiu County has at least 60 yuan a year, plus a little extra money, up and down 100 yuan.

You can't be a county lieutenant.

Therefore, each county actually has a small treasury, and this small treasury includes the money from the public estate's fields, and the public treasury money with the money from the sale of the public party's grain, as well as other filial piety and so on.

In many places, the officials divide the money every month, which is very cool.

For example, now, Zhang Yichen said that the monthly salary is two thousand in January.

But he quietly told him that he could divide another twenty pieces in the small treasury in January.

In this way, Luo Cheng's annual Lu rice is 52 stone rice, plus 200 acres of vocational field income of 12 stone rice, plus 200 acres of Yongye field, and then there is a year's 24 yuan, plus the income from the small treasury is about 240 yuan, and the total is almost more than 200 yuan and 300 yuan a year, and 64 stone rice.

That's a lot of money.

"You are now the county lieutenant, and the county will give you three guards and four white straights. And as a county and county lieutenant, the county will give you four soldiers. These men will serve with you, and each of the county will make up two hundred dollars for you. ”

Bai Zhi is Bai Ding on duty.

This is a kind of errand service, there are public servants who are straightforward, and there are officials who are straightforward. Now what Zhang Yichen gave to Luo Cheng is that the official is straightforward. Bai Zhi is similar to a orderly, but he is drawn from the common people, and he is on duty on an errand and is a kind of labor.

Generally, once every three years, that is, once every three years, and one year at a time. However, there are not many white direct servants in a specific county, so it may only need to be on duty once in a few rounds, and ordinary people may only serve once or twice in their lives. Bai Zhi didn't ask Ding Zhong, when he was fourteen years old, he was going to join the rotation queue. After being selected, if the public is straightforward, he will go to the yamen as an errand clerk, and if he is an official who is straightforward, he will follow the official as a orderly.

And the clothes are almost a kind of errand.

The garment itself was an errand for the slaves of large families, and when it came to the government, the garment became a kind of errand. The job is to follow the officials, carry paper, ink, pen and inkstone, and prepare them for writing at any time, similar to the role of a family scholar. The clothes are generally carried by middle-aged men who have not yet matured, and all of them are fourteen or fifteen-year-old teenagers.

As for the battle body, this is an attendant only for military officers, and they also choose the common people to act as a man, taking turns on errands every three years.

This is the equivalent of a guard.

Anyway, these people work for free and serve officials, and the government bears the expenses of these people, and also gives the officials a subsidy, which is a kind of welfare treatment.

It is said that Bai Zhi was originally established by Liu Yu, the founding emperor of the Liu Song Dynasty, and was first a team of attendants around him, and later he used this team of attendants as a stormtrooper, and he was very fierce and established the vanguard of Bai Zhi.

Later, Bai Zhi gradually expanded to all corners of the government and officials, and Bai Zhi was no longer a brave and capable elite, but became a kind of close attendant.

Zhang Yichen finally told Luo Cheng another good news.

That is, as a Great Sui official, Luo Cheng's family has been exempted from tax and labor since then.

Officials are a privileged class, and they are also non-taxing, and they do not have to pay taxes when they become officials.
