Chapter 1797: Wage Increase (II)
Eating dirt? If others eat soil, Li Chengqian may believe it, but Li Daozong said that he eats soil, even if he kills Li Chengqian, he will not believe it.
The so-called Xinhua Book Company doesn't know how much it makes every year just by printing official newspapers such as the Tang Xun Bao, not to mention the printing and selling of some other books.
Although the price of printing books has shrunk nearly ten times compared with the past, due to a large amount of mechanical investment, the current printing workshop has basically few manual participation in addition to typesetting and proofreading, so it is relatively profitable.
And not only that, Li Daozong also has some other industries, and his annual income is basically maintained at about 50,000 yuan, which means that no matter how low it is, there are more than 40,000 yuan per month.
This is already a lot of money, so Li Chengqian didn't believe that Li Daozong, an old guy, would eat soil.
But if he doesn't believe it, he can only hold these words in his heart, and he glanced at this old guy helplessly and ignored him, but turned to Du Ruhui: "Old Du, what do you think?" ”
"Your Majesty, it's really time for the income to rise, in fact, it's not just grassroots officials, sometimes even if it's a top noble, if there is no other industry support at home, these income is only enough for everyone to barely maintain food and clothing." Although Du Ruhui can still hold on to the court, his body is not as good as before, and he paused no less than three times with just one sentence.
Li Chengqian looked at Lao Du's appearance, and his heart was also uncomfortable, and he said with a trace of concern in his eyes: "Old Du, your body doesn't matter, right?" Do you want me to transfer Du Gou or Du Ho back? ”
"No need, Your Majesty's concern for the old minister is understood, but young people always have young people's careers, and I can't let them delay the future for me, an old man." Du Ruhui smiled and said.
Whether it is Li Chengqian's name for him or his own name, Lao Du sees it in his eyes and hears it in his ears, and he can be so respected by a generation of emperors, and Lao Du is already satisfied.
But the future of the Du family still depends on the two sons to support, and now transferring them back is certainly their filial piety, but it is likely to delay the future of the Du family, so until it is absolutely necessary, Lao Du really doesn't want his two sons to come back.
Li Chengqian also understood what Du Ruhui meant, and seeing that there was no good way for him to insist, he could only sigh and say: "Then that's it, let the medical school send a medical team in a while, and a doctor will be in charge of it, and it will be stationed in your house." ”
"This ......" Du Ruhui didn't expect Li Chengqian to be able to do this for him, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Li Chengqian seemed a little embarrassed when he saw the scene, and he didn't wait for Lao Du to finish speaking, so he said: "Don't worry, this expense is paid by the court, and you don't need to pay for it!" ”
As soon as these words came out, there was immediately laughter in the room, and the heavy atmosphere just now eased a lot, Lao Du could no longer refuse, so he could only smile and arch his hand, which could be regarded as thanking Li Chengqian for his concern.
But don't say it, with Lao Du, Li Chengqian really has an idea.
At present, many old guys of the old man's generation are already old, and their health is not as good as before, and it is the time when someone needs to take care of them, since they can send someone to take care of Lao Du, then why not send someone to take care of others as well?
In this way, it can not only reassure the children of these old guys, but also win people's hearts, so why not.
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian had already made a decision in his heart, and as soon as the topic of "readjustment of the fortune" was over, he would put this matter on the agenda and draw up a relatively perfect plan.
"Your Majesty, in fact, if you just talk about Yulu, our Datang's Yulu is still not low, but when we set the standards, some things were not completely considered." Fang Xuanling waited for a while, and saw that the atmosphere had eased, so he said euphemistically.
"Oh? Can Mr. Fang talk about it carefully? Li Chengqian took back his thoughts and asked seriously.
"Actually, this is the case, in fact, we people do not only have wives and children in the family, but also some housekeepers, generals, servants, maids, etc., and these people also have to receive wages, the larger the family, the more people in this category, so they will divide the money." Fang Xuanling said very slowly, as if he was afraid that Li Chengqian would not understand.
But fortunately, Li Chengqian's intelligence was not weak, and he quickly understood what he meant, frowned and thought for a while before saying: "Then if you say it this way, in fact, this standard is still difficult to formulate, after all, some people have fewer people and the like, and some people have more people like the general, right?" ”
"That's exactly why the ministers are embarrassed." Fang Xuanling nodded and said, and the others in the study also nodded, agreeing with his statement.
As a representative of the military department, the military department Shangshu also said at this time: "Yes, Your Majesty, in fact, this is a very difficult thing, and those generals ...... In fact, most of those generals were killed from the sea of corpses and blood with the ministers in the past, and the ministers had no way to ignore them, so they had no choice but to collect them, which is also an objective fact. ”
"Yes, they also bled and sweated for Datang at the beginning, but now they can't ignore them when they are old." Yu Zhining also sighed on the side, obviously there are many such people in his family.
Li Chengqian was also a little embarrassed in the face of such a question, he had never considered such a thing before, and now he suddenly brought it up, which also made him very embarrassed.
You say not to rise, seeing that prices are getting higher and higher, and some high-end products are also increasing, it is not a matter if they do not rise; But you can say that the income is raised, and everyone's family conditions are different, so it is impossible to treat everyone equally.
The discussion reached an impasse again, and everyone was bowing their heads in contemplation, but no one said a word.
"Ahem, Your Majesty, the old minister has an idea, but it's a little offensive, I don't know if I should say it or not." Finally, it was Du Ruhui who spoke first, out of gratitude to Li Chengqian, the old man decided to help him again, just like Wei Zheng used his last breath to help him ascend to the throne.
When Li Chengqian saw Du Ruhui speak, he immediately smiled and said: "Elder Du, please speak, what is being discussed now is official business, why do you want to be offended." ”
"Well, Lao Chen thinks that if the court is willing to accept those generals who can no longer go to the battlefield, maybe this matter will be easy to handle."
"I want to hear about it!" Li Chengqian said with a serious face.
"Lao Chen's meaning is this, for example, to set a standard, how many servants there are at most in the family of the prince, and how many servants there are in the family of the country, so that everyone will stand on the same platform. And those who are extra will be dismissed, if they are meritorious to the state, the court can compensate them, and those who are strong and self-reliant can let them work on their own! ”()
