Lady Liu had an approving expression of "quite smart" on her face, and nodded her head: "But!" ”

After that, take notes on paper.

The position field does not belong to the official himself, but is only equivalent to a part of Yulu, Princess Pingyang let Xue Lang choose by herself, it is already a very good thing, Xue Lang remembered it.

Lady Liu said: "In addition to Lu Mi and Zhitian, there are also miscellaneous servants and monthly miscellaneous servants. The miscellaneous servants were supposed to be issued to Lord Xue Bo your official slaves and maids, but when Youyang first returned, there was no one to train the slaves and maids, so His Royal Highness transferred people from his own private slaves to you. ”

Lady Liu said again: "In view of Master Xue's situation, the matter of the slave and maid needs to be explained in detail. Master Xue's book, the slave and maid are the property of the law and the animal, bought and sold at a price, attached to the owner, the body is the master, and the color is married. Don't talk about monthly money or anything like that, let outsiders know that it's a joke. ”

Xue Lang sincerely admitted his mistake: "I made a mistake, see the smile, see the smile." ”

Lady Liu nodded and said, "Let's go on to say that in addition to miscellaneous labor, there are also monthly miscellaneous supplies, all of which are food and clothing, such as charcoal used every season, grain, flour, wine and meat, which will be sent directly to Tingfeng Yuan in the future." In addition to the annual distribution, some monthly miscellaneous items are distributed on a monthly basis, and some are quarterly payments, and at that time, all of them will be distributed to the Listening Wind Temple. ”

"Okay, thank you, Lady Liu."

"It doesn't matter."

Lady Liu explained to Xue Lang in detail the preferential treatment of officials in the imperial court, in addition to Yulu, every year Yuanzheng and the winter solstice will also give five silk horses, gold and silver and other things; According to the grade, five sets of clothes are also issued every year for various occasions, including a full set of clothes, shoes, socks and hats.

These benefits extend not only to the officials themselves, but also to their spouses. If there are immediate family members in the family who are mourning, such as grandparents, parents or something, when the funeral is done, the state will send someone to help for 10 days, and will also distribute the items needed for the funeral according to the grade, and will also give silk silk and chestnut rice.

In addition to the above, it also provides preferential treatment such as housing and transportation, relatives can enjoy exemption from military service, and children and grandchildren can enjoy priority in school enrollment and the privilege of being officials.

With such a superior treatment, it is no wonder that the ancients wanted to be an official with their heads sharpened, and the benefits of being an official were too great. Xue Lang said that he would work hard!

After saying this, Lady Liu deliberately emphasized: "Good and cheap, there is a world of difference." In the law, if a good citizen fights with a pariah person, the good citizen can be reduced by one degree if he is guilty, and the untouchable person is guilty of a heavier punishment. ”

Lady Liu seemed to see that Xue Lang lacked these common sense, and deliberately gave Xue Lang a lot of content about slaves and maids in the law. In these years, slaves and maids not only have no social status, but also have no personal freedom, which is equivalent to the master's private property, beating and scolding at will, that is, accidentally beating to death, if it is a guilty slave and maid, as long as it is reported to the government, it is innocent, if there is no report to the government, killing the guilty slave and maid, a hundred rods; Kill innocent slaves and maidservants, and take a year.

And the slave and maid killing the master is regarded as one of the ten evils, just like what Lady Liu said, it is a taboo. Even if the emperor grants amnesty, the criminals of this crime are not within the scope of the amnesty.

No wonder Wanfu would say that! It turns out that the background reason is like this! Sure enough, in addition to the influence of status and experience, people's minds also need to understand the background of the times, and only when these unifications are combined can we understand the positions and choices of others. Regarding the thoughts and practices of the slaves and maids, Xue Lang no longer felt that it was difficult to understand looking at the clouds and mountains and fog.

Xue Lang said he understood!

Xue Lang got up and shook it to the end: "Thank you Lady Liu for teaching me, Xue Lang came out, if there is no Lady Liu to guide me, don't tell jokes, I'm afraid that I will break the law if I am not careful, such a great favor, I can't repay it, please accept Xue Lang's salute." ”

Female Officer Liu hurriedly avoided and said, "Master Xue, don't be so polite, the slave family is just moving their mouths, it's nothing." ”

Xue Lang said: "For Lady Liu, it's just a small matter to move your mouth, for me, it's a big thing that is really favored by others, this gift, Lady Liu deserves it!" ”

After sincerely and solemnly thanking Lady Liu, he asked if there was anything else, and Xue Lang turned back to Tingfeng Courtyard. Asked Changjian to call Ah Chen, and explained that he would have a moon miscellaneous in the future, and when the time came, let him collect it, bring it back and hand it over to Hexiang, who would distribute it.

After explaining the miscellaneous matters and having breakfast, Xue Lang took Changjian out and went to the craftsman area-

The craftsmen who had been put under the supervision of the ordnance were divided into living there. There were five craftsmen in total, each with two apprentices. Xue Lang went over, asked someone to invite five masters, and waited in the workshop.

"I've seen Master Xue!"

"The masters are polite, I don't know what to call them?"

The masters who came were all middle-aged, thirty up, forty down, just when the craftsmanship was fine and the prime of life. The apprentices are not young, they are all young people in their twenties, and they are all at the age when they have already learned the technology and are ready to become teachers.

It seems that these masters are really here to do things.

The five masters are You Nianchun, Tang Shengtian, Yan Fugui, Du Xia Zhi, and Wu Jiafu. Master You Nianchun is good at forging swords; Tang Shengtian and Yan Fugui are good at making bows and crossbows; Wujiafu carpentry work is a must, but Du Xia Zhi is a master of jade carving.

The five masters had been there for three or four days, but the mansion was busy with the promotion of the Inhuman Plow, so he only arranged for them to stay, and it was not until today that Xue Lang knew the news of their arrival, and he was free to deal with their affairs.

The East Sacrifice Wine has set up two adjacent courtyards for the masters, one for living and the other for work, and Her Royal Highness the Princess has sent troops to guard it.

The working yard has spacious and bright rooms, just like a modern large workshop, and all kinds of utensils have been prepared, and the masters also bring their own customary tools when they come.

Because they have been here for several days, the masters already have the physical objects sent by Her Royal Highness the princess in their hands. Master Tang and Master Yan have already begun to study the bed crossbow and the divine arm bow, and Master Wu has already begun to try to make the wooden base of the bed crossbow according to the size given by the two.

Although the princess's mansion has already made the physical object of the bed crossbow, Master Bi is not a special weapon master after all, and there is still room for adjustment and modification of the things made. How to achieve the best size ratio and make the weapon exert its maximum power must be left to a specialized weapon master.

What Master You had in his hand was the saber that Xue Lang had given to Her Royal Highness the Princess, and what Master Du had in his hand was a telescope. As soon as Xue Lang came, he pulled Xue Lang after the ceremony, and asked about the things in their hands, some details that they hadn't understood yet.

Xue Lang said: "Master Du, the most important thing for a telescope is the lens, what materials are used, how to polish it, and how to polish it without affecting the imaging effect, these are all things you have to figure out." The more transparent the lens, the better, and so is the polishing, and there is no hurry to do anything else, think about these things first and then talk about others. ”

Master Du thought for a while and said, "Master Xue Bo is reasonable, so let's go and select materials first!" ”

After sending Master Du away, Xue Lang turned his head and began to get together with Master You, man, he is more interested in swords, and now that there is a ready-made weapon in front of him, Xue Lang naturally wants to ask for advice.

So, I soaked in front of Master You, and took the trouble to explain the various functions of the dagger to Master You, Master You was quite impressed by the multi-function of the saber, but he had some opinions on the size: "This dagger is good, but it is not suitable for use in battle, and it is more suitable for horizontal knives in battle." ”
