Because there are still three roads in Gyeonggi Province, Kannai Province, and Hadong Province in the future, the income of the Inhuman Plough has not been settled for the time being.

However, Xue Lang secretly calculated that even if it was only one percent, and for the time being, it would be enough for him to get a little rich. At the very least, raising these servants is not a big burden.

Thinking of the servants, Xue Lang counted the time, it seemed that it was time for the servants to pay the monthly money, and it was not good to ask them how much your monthly salary was, so I needed to find someone to inquire about this matter.

Xue Lang does not agree with giving high wages at will, just go with the market, and raise prices at will, one will have a bad impact on the market, and the other is to indirectly increase the cost for himself. You give a high salary once, what happens later?

Xue Lang was thinking about asking Lady Liu to inquire, and someone came to report that it was the green grass on Lady Liu's side asking to see her. Xue Lang asked someone to bring her in—

"The slave and maid have seen Master Xue."

"Miss Green doesn't need to be polite. What happened? ”

Lu Yin said: "Back to Xue Zhubo, my master Liu Wenxue has something to ask Xue Zhubo to discuss, it is inconvenient to come, so I can only bother Xue Zhubo to discuss in the past, please forgive Xue Zhubo." ”

"I see, okay! You go back first, and I'll come later. ”

"Whoa! Thank you Xue Master, then the slave will go to reply first? ”

"Go ahead."

Let Lu Yin go back first, and Xue Lang will go over later. The strange thing is that Lady Liu is not in her own office, but in the main hall of Her Royal Highness the Princess, sitting on the desk, looking busy.

Xue Lang went in and asked strangely, "Lady Liu, why are you here?" I just went to the side hall, but I was told that you are working here, has Her Royal Highness gone out to patrol the camp again? ”

The brush in Lady Liu's hand was placed heavily on the table, looking at Xue Lang's gaze, it was quite complicated, and she glanced at Xue Lang directly: "It's not all your fault!" ”

Xue Lang pointed to his nose with an inexplicable expression: "Me? Why blame me? ”

Lady Liu sighed and said, "But you gave His Highness a bottle of spirits?" ”

Xue Lang understands in seconds! Nodding, the smile on his face couldn't be stopped, and he unconsciously lowered his voice and asked, "Her Royal Highness the princess is drunk?" ”

Lady Liu didn't say anything, just nodded, coughed, and looked at Xue Lang meaningfully. Xue Lang understood, and quickly put away the evil smile on his face, but still asked in a curious whisper: "How much did Your Highness drink?" Drunk enough to come to work yet? Or was it that you went crazy last night? ”

Female Officer Liu's expression was strange, and she glanced at Xue Lang again: "Master Xue is cautious." ”

"Ahem...... Well, Shen Yan, don't ask! ”

Xue Lang coughed, suppressed his curiosity, and said, "Getting back to the point, I don't know if Lady Liu called Xue Lang to come here, what is there to discuss?" ”

Female Officer Liu also forcibly pulled back her attention and said: "Jingzhong has transferred skilled craftsmen from the Ordnance Supervision to develop the telescope and other items sent by Xue Zhubo, and this matter needs to be handled by Xue Zhubo." ”

"Yes, no problem! I'll go over and see it later. ”

After asking about the location of the craftsmen, Xue Lang planned to wait for the morning food to go over and take a look: "But there is something else?" ”

Nuguan Liu said: "There is one more thing, but there is no hurry, let's talk about Lord Xue first, and it doesn't hurt to talk about it later." ”

Xue Lang nodded: "In this way, then please take a moment for Lady Liu to give Xue Lang some guidance on chores." ”

"What?"

Lady Liu is so open-minded, when she comes to the door for help, she never takes Qiao, and she doesn't deliberately shirk. Xue Lang hurriedly said: "May I ask Lady Liu, how is the monthly money of the servants distributed?" ”

Lady Liu frowned: "Monthly money? What is monthly money? Why pay the servants? ”

Don't the servants have a monthly salary?!

Xue Lang's eyes widened: "It is the money to be paid to the servants every month, how many first-class servants there are, how many second-class servants there are, what are the standards for stewards and rough envoys, and so on." ”

Lady Liu's eyes rolled, her brows loosened, and she asked, "But it is equivalent to the princes of the imperial court?" ”

"yes, yes, something like that."

Xue Lang nodded hurriedly. It's hard to say whether the monthly money in "Dream of Red Mansions" is pocket money or a fortune, but the meaning is probably about the same.

Who knew that the female official Liu raised her eyebrows and said: "Ridiculous! Where is the reason to give money to servants! ”

Xue Lang was really surprised!

Weakly asked: "Could it be that in Datang, servants don't need to pay monthly money?" ”

Lady Liu sneered and said, "Law Cloud, slave and maid slut, law is better than livestock." Could it be that Master Xue also paid your family's livestock? ”

Xue Lang: "......"

Xue Lang wanted to slap himself twice, and then silently recite it three times - call you stupid!

They are all misled by "Dream of Red Mansions"!

In "Dream of Red Mansions", in order to pay for the expenses of the house, Feng Lazi made people die outside, and when he read the book, he gave monthly money to the servants, and thought that it was almost the same in ancient times. I actually forgot that the background of "Dream of Red Mansions" is the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty is a strange dynasty that regards ministers, scholars, and doctors as slaves!

Xue Lang is so painful! What it's like to make jokes about common sense!

Looking at the twitching of the corners of Xue Lang's mouth, Lady Liu said: "The slave and maid are attached to the master, they are the master, and they are equivalent to livestock, they only need to provide food and clothing, if they serve well, you can happily reward the slave and maid with one or two food, clothing, and money, where is the reason to pay money every month!" Can this be said in front of slaves? ”

Xue Lang hurriedly shook his head, he only thought about it in his heart, and never asked. He still understands the taboo of not asking about people's wages in person.

Female Officer Liu nodded reassuringly and said, "It seems that I need to introduce all aspects of my Datang to Master Xue." It just so happened that the slave was ordered by His Royal Highness to discuss your matter with Master Xue Bo, and the slave discussed it with Master Xue Bo. ”

Xue Lang clasped his fists and saluted, and was sincerely taught: "Please give me advice." ”

Liu Nuguan said: "Master Xue, according to the regulations of the imperial court, Master Xue is the official of Princess Pingyang's Mansion, because of Princess Pingyang's merits, the sage Princess Teyi is more than the prince, so the official rank is also configured according to the prince's mansion." According to the law, you can get 90 stone of rice every year, and the office is 5 hectares. According to the law, the Beijing official salary can be paid every year for the whole year, which is called the annual salary; Foreign officials' salaries were paid by the public estate, and there was no payment for the whole year. Xue Zhubo is the official of the princess's mansion, and the salary should be issued by the imperial court, so he can receive the annual salary. ”

Xue Lang nodded, he didn't know how much he could receive, but he knew that the officials of the Gaozu Dynasty only had rice and fields, and in the Yonghui period of Gaozong, there were more silk silks in the officials' Yulu.

Liu Nuguan said: "According to the system, the positions of officials above the fifth grade are generally divided in the place of employment, and the land goes with the person; The fields below the sixth grade are generally divided in the hometown. Master Xue is a person who has returned from a foreign country, and he is from Jiankang, but he has no relatives. Where is this office? His Royal Highness understands the special features of Master Xue, and orders the slave to ask what Master Xue means? ”

Do you need to ask about this!

Xue Lang immediately asked, "Can it be arranged in Chang'an?" I plan to settle in Chang'an in the future. ”
