Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun'en.

The Emperor's grace is immense.

Bounty 10,000 gold, 100 horses of silk, 100 acres of fertile land.

The emperor's decree went directly into the hands of Li Xiao, a grass citizen, and everyone in the Li family compound was unexpected.

It wasn't until Xue Wu reminded him that Li Xiao sent a thank you gift to the palace envoys and sent them away for a long time, and everyone was still stunned, not knowing how to react.

Wan Niang looked at the Ming Huang silk decree offered on the incense hall in the main hall in a daze, and the whole person seemed to be stupid.

"Wu Cavalry Captain, Shaofu Temple History. Dad, is San Lang an official? ”

Mr. Zhao said to his daughter on crutches, his lips trembling, "The martial cavalry captain is Xun, and he is subordinate to the seventh grade, and the history of the Shaofu Temple is the sixth grade outside the stream." ”

"Is Saburo really an official?" Wan Niang was pleasantly surprised.

Xue Wu came over with a smile and said, "Brother and sister, San Lang is considered to have a background, but it is not an official official." The officers are only subordinate to the seven qualities, and there is no ministry to send them. The history of Shaofu Temple is the six products of the outflow, and it is the outflow official who has not entered the ninth grade, and the outflow official is an official and has a ministry. However, the history of the house given by His Majesty to San Lang is actually just to reward San Lang's loyalty, and he does not need to really go to Shaofu Temple to do things. ”

The official rank of Datang is the nine-grade system, and there are also positive and subordinate points.

Xue Wu, as a full-time seven-rank military attaché, explained to everyone in detail the official system of the lower court.

The officials of the Tang Dynasty have ranks first and then positions, and some officials also have knights and honors. The rank is the official rank, also known as the loose rank, the civil official has a set of literary ranks, the military attache has a set of military ranks, and the officials of the Tang Dynasty are all first determined and then awarded, first there is a rank and then a post.

The rank is this product, and the treatment of several products is enjoyed, and what kind of money is taken is determined according to this official rank. However, the official position may be higher or lower than this product.

For example, Xue Wu is a seventh-rank military attache of flying horses, his own product is actually under the sixth grade, and his actual position is the seventh grade, which belongs to the high-level and low-level positions. He also has a merit himself, and the merit is the sixth grade. But there is no knight.

The official that Li Xiao is now awarding is different, his government history is six grades, but there are six grades outside. In addition to the nine grades of Datang officials, there is also a nine grades outside the stream, from the lowest merit to the lowest rank of the nine grades outside the stream, a total of nine levels, but there are only nine levels, and there is no distinction between positive and subordinate and upper and lower.

These nine grades of exile are all exile officials, belonging to the ranks of officials, but they are of a lower rank, and they hold official positions, mainly low-level clerks in the yamen of the central court.

The history of Shaofu Temple, that is, a small official who does a clerk in Shaofu Temple, but now the emperor gives Li Xiao this official but does not need him to go to work to do things, just take this name, get a salary, and enjoy this treatment.

"Shaofu Temple is a yamen specially responsible for engineering and manufacturing in the imperial court, and it is also a yamen with little authority, but the oil and water are not bad.

The monthly salary is only 1,000 yuan, which sounds really in line with the identity of a foreign official. However, many things can't just look at the surface, no matter what, the history of the government is an official, and since it is an official, it has the right, especially the officials in the central yamen such as the history of the government, it can be said that there is a lot of extra income.

In addition to the normal monthly salary and New Year's salary, there will definitely be a lot of welfare benefits, some bonus prizes will be given during the New Year's holidays, and even the yamen and officials below will send something.

"The Beijing officials under the imperial court from the ninth grade are only fifteen times a year, and they are fifty-five stone meters a year." Xue Wu said that he had been sent down from the ninth rank to the Beijing official, and it sounded twice as much. However, as a Jiupin Beijing official, there is another advantage that there is also a job income.

Vocational fields are paid according to grades, but in fact, they don't have to manage themselves, the government sends people to rent tenants, and then collects and pays rents to officials every year, which is also considered a salary.

Li Xiao was really not very interested in the ministry of Shaofu Temple and Fushi, who only received a salary and did not work, he was more concerned about the bounty.

His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty can't be so generous and reward him with 10,000 taels of gold, right?

Ten thousand taels of gold, these two taels of gold can be worth at least 8,000 copper coins, 10,000 taels of gold, it is simply worry-free for several lifetimes.

Xue Wu snorted twice about Li Xiao's young thoughts.

"It's just 10,000 gold, and Your Majesty also rewarded my father with 100,000 gold."

It turns out that the gold of ten thousand gold does not refer to gold, but to copper coins. If the word gold is preceded by a yellow, gold generally refers exclusively to valuable gold. If it's just gold, it's generally copper.

Ten thousand gold, that is, 10,000 copper coins, is actually only ten yuan. 100,000 gold, that's just 100 yuan, and for Xue Rengui, that's just a good war horse.

"Oh! I see. Li Xiao's voice was full of disappointment, and he really thought that the emperor suddenly fainted, and it turned out that it was only ten dollars. The money he made from selling cucumbers twice could also be made up to ten.

Just now, he felt that the emperor was generous, but now Li Xiao feels that the emperor is stingy.

Ten thousand gold is only ten yuan, which is not as valuable as a hundred silk. Silk and money are parallel, both serve as monetary functions, and Datang's large-scale transactions are even mainly based on silk. However, the price of silk fluctuates, and the price of silk is linked to the price of grain, and it has been relatively stable.

Today's silk price is a piece of silk is worth ten stones, and a stone of japonica rice is worth one hundred and ten yuan, and the price of a horse of silk is one thousand and one hundred dollars, and a hundred horses of silk are worth thousands of stones, and they are worth one hundred and ten yuan, which is really a lot of money, which is equivalent to ten years of money in the history of the house.

The title deed of the 100 acres of land was also directly rewarded, and when he got his hands on it, Dr. Zhao was surprised to find that this land originally belonged to the Li family.

"I can't imagine that it will be returned to its original owner." Dr. Zhao was a little surprised, the Li family had a thousand acres of land that could not be taken back, some of those lands fell into the hands of officials, and some became official fields, this time the emperor rewarded Li Xiao with 100 acres of land, and the will came to Lantian, and the government directly pulled out 100 acres from the official fields.

The clerk is also more good at being a person, and knowing that Li Xiao is very lucky now, he returned the 100 acres of good land that belonged to the Li family to the Li family.

"San Lang, my father also specially asked me to thank you, touching your light, my family has also received a lot of rewards from His Majesty."

Li Xiao smiled, a secret recipe can be exchanged for so many things, it is really not a loss.

The silk and money are worth one hundred and twenty yuan, not to mention a hundred acres of land, and there is also a military cavalry captain and a foreign six-rank mansion history who receives a salary in name.

Anyway, in the future, Li Xiao can be regarded as a person who has a name in the Nine Temples of Chang'an, if it is only in a small place in Lanxi, he can really be at ease.

"The ministry of Shaofu Temple, I really don't need to be an errand?"

"No, that's a reward from Your Majesty, you don't have to go on an errand, just get it at home on time."

Li Xiao nodded reassuringly, Chang'an, the land of Longtan and the Tiger's Den, if he entered the Yamen to be a foreign six-grade mansion history, it is estimated that it will not be easy.

It's still good like this, just continue to be his small landowner in Blue Creek.
