Ying Tian Governor Bai Yunming was a little angry, he didn't expect Yang Mingshen and the others to prepare such a move, he could actually think that he would find a bunch of talents for himself first on the grounds that no officials were willing to do it, and he couldn't refuse, so he had to laugh and say:

"Mr. Yang is worthy of being the person who once managed the money for His Majesty, and he is really thoughtful, and the official told the truth that the imperial court intends to pay light taxes to help the people's livelihood, and a small part of the treasury is used to pay the salaries of officials, so these officials who are not in the compilation only have a monthly silver dollar (equivalent to ten yuan a month in later generations);

By the way, there are still about 40 people who are making up the official here, and they are not doing it, and they are treated as one yuan a month. ”

Yang Ming was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but secretly scolded Bai Yunming, the governor of the Heavenly Patrol: "I've seen a shameless official, I've never seen such a shameless official as you, if it's really only a salary of one silver dollar a month, how do the low-level white servants (temporary workers) do it." ”

Although Yang Mingshen didn't believe the words of Bai Yunming, the governor of Yingtian, he didn't break it, so he had to grit his teeth and said: "In this case, in the next year, I recruited these students are all young talents who are dedicated to the country, they don't want salary, they just want to contribute to the Ming Dynasty and accumulate experience, Tang Xu, come here!" ”

At this time, a young scholar who looked dignified and quite confident walked up to Bai Yunming, the governor of Yingtian:

"Tang Xu, a student of Nanjing Normal School, has seen an adult!"

"Lord Futai, this person is good at financial management, he has managed more than 300 million silver dollars, can he remember the profit and loss of major companies in Qingnan Zhili, do you think he can apply for the position of governor yamen?"

Yang Mingshen asked.

"It just so happens that the official governor yamen lacks a tax ambassador, but you are young after all, and this official can't use it rashly, so I will try you for three years first, how about the salary of five silver dollars a month?"

Ying Tian Governor Bai Yunming deliberately lowered the salary, so that this student named Tang Xu was discouraged, and even reminded: "Although the official knows that Mr. Yang's bank is swept away with thirty silver dollars a month, but there is no way, the governor Yamen is very poor, and the official can only give you this treatment, you can choose to refuse the official." ”

Tang Xu's face was embarrassed, he was not a poor person, but he couldn't accept such a low salary, because it was simply an insult to his personal knowledge level for more than ten years.

At this time, Yang Mingshen gave Tang Xu a look.

Tang Xu knew that he couldn't offend his big financier Yang Mingshen, so he had to grit his teeth: "The student is willing to accept this official position." ”

"Very good, very good, really an aspiring young man, indifferent to fame and fortune, this official is far inferior to you, very good! I'll report to the governor's yamen tomorrow! If you are late, you will be fined half a year's salary! This official has always been strict in managing his subordinates, but he will not be as lenient as your Mr. Yang! ”

Bai Yunming gritted his teeth and said a few words, and patted Tang Xu on the shoulder a few times, but his eyes kept staring at Yang Mingshen fiercely:

"Count you ruthless! I don't believe that you, a student, really don't need money to do anything. ”

"Students remember what the adults command!" Tang Xu said and then retired.

Here, Yang Mingshen made up thousands of vacancies for Bai Yunming's governor's yamen in the same way, and when he left the governor's yamen, Tang Xu and others couldn't help but find Yang Mingshen:

"Sir, it's not our greed, but it's really insulting for the governor yamen to treat us with such a low salary, it's better to go to the street to set up a baked cake stall for five silver dollars a month, sir, why do you want us to agree!"

"Don't you see, this is his Bai Yunming, an old bureaucreat, deliberately rectifying people, you first join the company as an official and work hard, he Bai Yunming only gives you five silver dollars a month, and I will give you a subsidy of four hundred silver dollars a month (equivalent to more than 40,000 yuan a month in later generations), which is double your treatment in the bank, and you will become an official first, and control the power!"

……

The people of the Qianqing Palace and Dongchang have also reported the reaction of the provinces on the establishment of parliaments to the Ming Emperor Zhu Youzhen.

"Your Majesty, it's a strange thing, the salary of new officials in various places has been announced, I didn't expect it to be so low, some provinces only give officials below the eighth grade a month's salary, and some have two yuan a year, and even those who don't give money and only take care of food, dare to love that there are so many officials in the world who are willing to dedicate themselves to Da Ming."

The people in Dongchang reported to Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu You couldn't help laughing after listening:

"This is a deliberate way for the bureaucrats to embarrass the merchants, if I expected it to be true, it must have been these merchants who helped to raise the government to pay the money, which can be regarded as shooting themselves in the foot, the merchants want to participate in the government to reduce their taxes, but they do not expect to pay more wealth to hire a group of officials, these officials from the school background are no less demanding than those old-style officials who can only extort money."

"However, these businessmen will certainly not be willing to pay the officials' money for the government all the time, and after the establishment of the parliament, they will inevitably use the advisory body to make rules to the government, demanding that the local government improve the treatment of grassroots officials, so that the local government can use its own finances to pay the income of the grassroots officials, instead of using itself to pay for it."

"Of course, this will not be so simple, the House of Representatives will have to stop it, and when they are almost done, it is estimated that it will have to wait until next year;

Let them talk more, the officials have no time to exploit the people, and the people have no time to question the government, so that the world can continue to be peaceful;

Whether the people below are fighting, quarreling or even fighting, you don't have to worry about the East Factory, let them make trouble, people always have to vent their energy;

However, because it is difficult to maintain local law and order because of the major changes in the local judges, and a large number of old-style officials will definitely make trouble after resigning, most of these people used to be idle people, if you add the instigation of the officials behind them, it is inevitable that they will not bewitch the public, and you people in Dongchang must be strictly guarded;

Stealing, robbing, murdering, and even rebellion, no matter who it is, those who should be arrested will be arrested, and those who should be killed will be killed. ”

As soon as Zhu Youzhen said this, Ma Jixiang from Dongchang nodded hurriedly and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, what Weichen has already explained is strictly controlled." ”

"The Ming Empire is now in a period of alternation between the new and the old, and I don't want them to be quickly resolved by war, so it is bound to be a long time before the empire can quickly complete the internal alternation and make it difficult for the empire to expand rapidly;

Immediately sent someone to Xiyi to tell the governor of Xiyi, Li Mingrui, that he could find a way to stop the merchants of England from making trouble, saying that I intended to form a marriage with the English Stuart royal family, and if the country was willing to marry a royal princess to be the princess of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty could help the Stuart Dynasty maintain its rule. ”

"Wechen obeys."
