The income of officials in the Tang Dynasty, in terms of the lowest rank from the ninth rank official, is 52 stones, and the rent of the field is 1,200 buckets a year. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info 120 stones. Plus the monthly salary, consistent five, eighteen a year. Now the rice is only ten yuan, and the monthly income of a year can buy 180 yuan of rice.

Just the income of Lu rice and vocational fields, raising a family of more than ten or twenty people, and hiring a few subordinates outside, is absolutely appropriate, not to mention the extra monthly salary.

What about the income of this Lumi, the foreign officials of the Tang Dynasty are less than the Beijing officials, and the above is the Beijing officials, and the foreign officials are always lower than the officials of the same level, and they are higher than the Beijing officials of the lower grade, and they are in between. The foreign official of the ninth grade is only fifty-four stone five. A little higher than the official from the Nine Grades. It can be seen from the nine pins of the temple nineteen stone five.

Zhengjiupin foreign officials, Lu Mi is between Zhengjiupin Jingguan, and from the Jiupin Jingguan, can be paid from the field, and the Jiupin foreign official is equivalent to the eighth-grade Jingguan. Judging from the income of one acre of land in Datang in the past, the rent of Liudou is not very high, and it can only be said that it is lower than average.

In the past, one acre of land in Datang was cultivated in rotation with rice and wheat, and one acre of field was about more than one stone of rice, and six to eight buckets of wheat were obtained. And what about the six buckets, it's corn, six buckets of corn. In this way, the rent is only about 30%. Don't be too small.

Take a Jiupin Jingguan as an example, 200 acres of professional field, collect 6 buckets of corn, 1,200 buckets of corn, and convert rice into 72 stones. Raising people, you can raise ten people. This number, now, is even more. They can harvest 120 stone of rice, and they don't have to convert it.

Because under Li Chen's vigorous advocacy, the income of Datang has increased a lot. Officials in various localities persuaded the peasants to make concerted efforts to promote various farming methods, such as cropping rotation, all kinds of green manure, and trying to guide the peasants to dig wells, so that banks could lend loans to the peasants, so that they could buy machines from which they could pump water. Vigorously build or rebuild irrigation ditches.

These actions have increased the income of each mu of land a lot. The most obvious improvement of the vocational field is not that Li Chen is biased, but that there must be a demonstration field, and the vocational field will be used to demonstrate, and it will be the first to benefit. This is also the reason why Li Chen rectified the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty and restructured the feudal town, without much turmoil.

After Anshi, in order to attract talents, the feudal towns in various places opened a lot more monthly salaries than the imperial court. Now that Li Chen has changed the system, there would have been many magistrates who were dissatisfied with it, and they would have returned to the past, and would rather run to the imperial court than go to the local government to get the situation.

When the income from farming increased, and the local government collected rent, it silently canceled the original conversion, which was equivalent to a disguised rent increase, and the income of officials increased in disguise. It's not that Li Chen doesn't know this, he just turns a blind eye. It's kind of subsidizing local officials.

After all, the burden on the people has not increased, the yield per mu has increased, and the income of the people has increased, although the rent has increased in disguise, but the burden has not become much heavier. When the water is clear, there are no fish, he understands this truth. If the people can stand it, he will not care for the time being.

However, up to now, many people are not satisfied with such high salaries and benefits, and always want more, more. If you have your own income, you want to get some gray income, and if you have gray income, you want to get more black income.

This time, Li Chen decided that he would no longer be soft, and the whole Tang Dynasty would not be cleaned up again, so they could not be vigilant. However, he didn't plan to kill anyone, what to kill, it was confirmed that it had no effect, Zhu Chongba's killing and killing, and he didn't bring much good rule to the Ming Dynasty.

Let's not talk about what Li Chen plans to do, let's talk about what happened. Li Chen has been stockpiling grain in the north. If you remember, Datang has a lot of righteous warehouses. Among the taxes that the people afford, there is a righteous warehouse tax. It means that in addition to the regular tax, the people should have an extra tax for disaster relief.

However, for a long, long time, Datang only collected this tax, and did not actually use it for disaster relief. It's not that Datang hasn't had a natural disaster for a long time, but it's never used like this, and the money has been misappropriated.

The time can be traced back to the Kaiyuan period, and the Xuanzong Dynasty has not issued this disaster relief fee for decades, and it has been misappropriated elsewhere, military expenses, and the king's enjoyment, and so on.

After Li Chen ascended the throne, he vigorously reformed the tax law, and this tax was not reduced, but he gradually filled it up, and the Yicang in various places was gradually filled, and it was not allowed to be diverted for other purposes. If it is not used, it is allowed to sell the old grain and fill it with new grain, which is also a way to avoid waste.

This time, herein lies the problem. The news of the return of the New World expedition fleet was too dazzling to cover up one thing, since the beginning of spring this year, there has been little rain in the north.

Since the beginning of spring this year, there has been little rain in the north. Although Datang encourages self-drilling and pumping water for irrigation, many farmers no longer have to be so nervous to watch the weather for food. However, not all places have it, and there is only a limit to the amount of land that can be filled with a well, and if it had been before, it would have caused a disaster.

Nowadays, this has not happened, and in many places, where there are no wells for irrigation, under the guidance of the agricultural judges in various places, the people have switched to planting crops that are more drought-tolerant, so as to avoid a large area of harvest. However, after all, the impact of the weather is very great, and a large-scale reduction in production is inevitable, and grain prices are about to move.

Food prices are stupid, and Datang has been prepared for a long time. Through the Grand Canal, he managed to transport a large amount of grain to the north for stockpiling, and he managed to transport more grain from overseas to the north, so that in case of a possible drought, he could immediately release low-priced grain. In addition, local governments have received orders that in the event of a large-scale drought, Yicang can open warehouses at any time for disaster relief.

Under such dual measures, grain prices in the north have been miraculously suppressed without much fluctuation. Although it is one and a half times taller than in previous years, this is already very good. However, Li Yining discovered the problem.

The problem is that food prices are too volatile. At the highest time, the increase was more than 30%, and when it was low, it was the same as usual, or even slightly lower, and the result was such an overall increase of 10% and a half. If you just look at the data, you can't find the problem.

However, Li Yining happened to be in the north, and out of natural business intuition, she sensed that something was wrong with this matter, contacted Jinyi, secretly investigated, and found out about this unusual thing. Under the final investigation, a major case was unearthed.

This matter is widely implicated, including officials from the Changping Division, county orders from various places, and even officials from the Logistics Department, and behind it is the Grain Merchants Guild. The grain merchant association took the lead in taking advantage of the disaster to make a large profit, harming the public and private interests.

They operated like this, and they took out the grain that Chang Ping and Li Chen stored in the war preparation warehouse in the north, and sold it at a high price. If that's all there is, maybe the number of participants will be small. It's just that they colluded with the officials of the Changping Division, which complicated things.

They first raised the price of grain, and then sold the grain in the warehouses that could not be moved and the warehouses that should be used for disaster relief, and sold the stored grain at high prices.

Then, when the grain price is stabilized, the grain will be repurchased and the price difference in the middle will be greatly earned. They even sold some stale grain, and the price of grain was very low. In this way, it is possible to buy grain at a lower price from the Changping Division.

Chang Pingsi has reason to say that it was they who took action and lowered the price of grain, so much money. In fact, the grain was simply bought back to make up for the shortfall.

If the matter ends like this, maybe they won't be exposed. However, as I have repeatedly emphasized before, people's desires are difficult to be satisfied, and I feel that this matter is promising, and I don't know when this kind of natural disaster will appear again.

Want to deliberately conceal it? The local magistrates had to persuade the agricultural judges, but it was not as easy as before to have the duty to record the weather. So, they didn't stop doing two things, three times they didn't look back, and after half a month, after the people had eaten a lot of the grain they had bought, they did this again. As a result, he was caught by Li Yining this time. They didn't have time to make up for it, and they were caught by Li Yining.

'Dig it all up for me, dig up the whole warehouse for me.' In this matter, Jin Yi and Li Yining, who was temporarily in charge of the action, were hiding behind the scenes, and the front desk had to be a new driver, and he came forward to rectify the county under the state, and he might have been hidden from them. Those officials who were short and insisted on stealing themselves urgently made a move to make up for it.

Li Chen remembered that it seemed to be the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing court dramas he watched once had such a bridge. is an old official who is about to retire, and he has a reputation for honesty in his life, and he is doing well. was ruined by his son, who had just stepped into officialdom. His son uncovered a fraud case and ran out of granaries.

This deficit, very ingenious, was not discovered. The corrupt officials made a special vat for storing grain, and this vat seemed to be normal, but in fact, it was separated in the middle and filled with a wooden plank. The rice bucket that seems to be full only has a layer on the top, but in fact the bottom is empty. The person who invented this is his Lao Tzu. As a result, it was exposed by his son.

However, the plot turns to the back, and the son can expose this case, but it is actually his Lao Tzu who guided him, and he Lao Tzu took his own name all his life, and he could have retired emeritus, but for the sake of his son's future, he was deliberately cut off. Such a brave man who has the courage to expose his father's shortcomings, is dedicated to the country, and has a selfless son will definitely be reused by the emperor.

Officials in the Tang Dynasty also had this trick? Almost this is the meaning, officials of different generations, facing different storage methods, used the same method. Although the granaries of the Tang Dynasty did not use rice buckets, they also used the same means.

The storage method of Datang grain storage is not to use rice buckets or rice cylinders, but to store them. First dig a hole at the top and a hole at the bottom, then burn the ground and the ground around it, lay a wooden board underneath, spread a mat on the wooden board, and then put rice.

In this way, many layers will be spread, one layer of rice, and one layer of mats. Spread many layers until full. Then cover it with soil. This is the cellar.

It is because of this that the storage method is different from that of modern times, and we will dig up the ruins of the granary of the Tang Dynasty in later generations, and there is still a lot of grain in it, of course, it is impossible to eat. However, this preservation of grain can last for up to 20 years. On the one hand, there is also the winner crop of the year, corn, which is resistant to preservation. On the one hand, it is also because of the power of this storage method.

The problem is that this kind of storage method is more difficult to inspect, and the big thing is to dig up the upper layer and check whether there is any grain.

And these corrupt officials took great pains to fill the lower layer with soil, leaving only the upper half to cope with the inspection. As a result, when I met a stubborn person who insisted on digging up all the cellars, and then cleared out the grain and counted it stone by stone, the matter was exposed.

Seeing that most of them were dirt, he was furious and ordered all the granaries, including the righteous ones, to be excavated and inspected. The military department also inspected the state of the governor's office of the five armies and the state of the reserve granary of the logistics department. The whole cat was exposed.

They took out all the new grain and sold it, manipulated the prices, and when Chang Pingsi began to provide disaster relief, they bought back the grain and used it to fill the gap. What should have been seamless was exposed because of being too greedy.

This made Li Chen angry, fill? Where it is so easy to fill, a lot of grain has already been sold. Those people say that they want to fill it, but in fact, many people are very happy when they make it, and when they actually want to fill it, they don't want to spend money to fill it up. Later, there was another manipulation of food prices, and more grain was sold.

Because of this, the Philippine strategy that was originally scheduled to be used was suspended, and the grain originally planned to be used in the Philippines was transported to the north to fill the possible food gap in the future.

Then the eleven ships could not transport people, so they could only join the ranks of the brigade that went to the South Seas to carry grain. Although it is said that there are eleven more ships, not more, and there are not many of them, Datang now has registered a record of sea ships, and the sea ships have broken 2,000. However, being idle is also idle. It's time for sea trials.

In addition to this big event, there are many small things that constantly provoke Li Chen's anger. For example, Datang has comprehensively promoted re-examination bookkeeping, replacing the previous four-pillar bookkeeping method. As a result, a lot of drawbacks were also discovered.

In the re-examination of accounting, there must be an entry, and if the other party goes out, the other party will enter. This has made many of the previous fraudulent methods appear one by one. For example, it is the norm for the imperial court to allocate funds to the local government and withhold part of it. But now, that doesn't work.

There are so many records on the court staff, how can there be only these in the place? This can't be funny, when the time comes, who will be responsible?

The local government is unwilling to take responsibility, and I don't get this money, so what do we have to do with it? Take responsibility for doing so for you. As a result, many of the previous drawbacks have emerged one by one. Let Li Chen feel that he should clean up well.

'A saint should be exiled to the New World, or exiled to a place where he is in exile, so as to fulfill the virtues of a saint and to set an example for future generations. After Li Chen finished saying that he would not kill anyone, he asked the fox to speak first, in exchange for Li Chen's smile.
