Chapter Forty-Eight: Officials Are Not as Good as Dogs

"The reason is that the Ming Dynasty is seriously understaffed, and there are few people!"

"In short, in short, in Daming, officials are not as good as dogs!"

Zhu Ying's voice landed, and Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately furious.

"Nonsense!"

"You little rabbit, according to you, those corrupt officials have become innocent?"

Zhu Yuanzhang is a person who came from the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and naturally knows the consequences of the imperial court's indulgence of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, that is, the people of the world are displaced and hungry.

It was for this reason that Zhu Yuanzhang almost starved to death.

Therefore, after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, his punishment of corrupt officials was almost the most severe among all emperors in history.

But this little rabbit cub, as the seed of our old Zhu family, actually said that corrupt officials and corrupt officials are innocent!

It's just an angry old man!

"What's up? Do you want the horses to run hard, but you don't want to feed the grass? Is there such a cheap thing in the world? ”

Zhu Ying rolled her eyes and looked indifferent.

In fact, taking the county order of the Ming Dynasty as an example, it can be regarded as a position from the seventh grade, with a monthly salary of less than eight stones, and when converted into a salary in the 21st century, it is nearly 20,000 yuan.

It's not actually a low income.

But the problem is that on the surface, how much money can be obtained in your hand is not necessarily.

In addition to eating and drinking Lazar and supporting his family, this money also has to ensure the operation of the entire county government.

In short, it is less than 20,000 yuan, and you have to ensure that you don't starve to death, your family doesn't starve to death, and the entire county government can continue to operate normally.

This is equivalent to a county order in the Ming Dynasty, which holds countless positions, such as the county magistrate of later generations, the president of the court, the president of the procuratorate, the director of the industrial and commercial bureau, the director of the public security bureau, and so on.

It's not terrible for a person to wear multiple hats, but the terrible thing is that this group of people not only has to wear multiple hats, but also has to complete the work of these positions, and there are few younger brothers.

You expect him to do so many things by himself and not go wrong, it is naturally impossible.

But if he went to find a few younger brothers to help, the little salary of the imperial court would not be able to make ends meet at all.

Those who had a little surplus food at home before becoming officials could still hold on, and those who were already poor finally studied hard and got a half-official position, and in order to survive, they could only move their crooked minds.

Therefore, the official of the Ming Dynasty, for Zhu Ying, it is really a dog!

Of course, he didn't know that he was the eldest grandson of Emperor Ming at this time.

"You are talking about civilian officials, so our military attachés of the Ming Dynasty are better than civilian officials, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't find a reason to reply for a while, so he could only retreat to the next best, hoping to save a little face.

If this little rabbit cub weren't for our eldest grandson, we would have to cut him down today!

"This is true, in addition to the remuneration specified in the regulations, the military generals can basically get the reward of His Majesty, so compared with the civil officials, that day is indeed much better."

Zhu Ying didn't refute this time.

From Hongwu to Yongle, not to mention Jianwen, who had a short life in the middle, the treatment of military generals has always been much better than that of civilian officials.

In the late Ming Dynasty, it was naturally reversed, but at this time, the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty wanted to become a military attache in their dreams.

The root cause of this is poverty.

After Zhu Ying said this, others didn't feel much, and Wu Lin was grateful.

How many years has this special mother been!

People who don't know think that the old man is a member of the dynasty, how majestic!

Those who knew did not dare to mention the misery of the old man to His Majesty.

The old man is poor, he rolled up his sleeves and painted!

This emperor's eldest grandson must be a good emperor who has compassion for his subjects in the future!

Just say this to the eldest grandson of the emperor today, the old man is the person of your emperor's eldest grandson, and the death is the death of your emperor's eldest grandson!

"The military attache has lived such a nourishing life, what do you mean by a depressed little rabbit cub?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, and when he won back a city, he didn't bother to bother with Zhu Ying anymore.

"The military generals have a good life, but it's easy to break the incense!"

Zhu Ying slowly returned!

"What do you say? You said that we will endure it when the official sticks upside down, why is this still related to the incense? ”

"Are you a little rabbit in spring? Miss your mother-in-law? Hold your horses! Let's go back and look for you! ”

......

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other with a question mark on their faces.

Even Wu Lin, who had secretly sworn just now, was incomprehensible at this time.

Does this emperor's eldest grandson know what he's talking about?

"What? Don't believe it, do you? ”

Seeing that everyone didn't believe it at all, Zhu Ying frowned.

"Let me ask you a question first, judging from your experience as an official for so many years, we people who are officials in the Ming Dynasty should know how many days of annual leave we have, right?"

Zhu Biao took the lead to return: "Three days! One day for the New Year, one day for the winter solstice, one day for His Majesty's birthday! ”

Not to mention the bad old men present, even the newly appointed officials know this.

It's just that everyone didn't understand, Zhu Ying asked what this was for.

"Then Ben Gongzi will ask you another question, in the Han Dynasty, do you know how many days of annual leave as an official is?"

Without waiting for everyone to answer, Zhu Ying continued.

"It's a rough estimate that there will be one day off in four to five days, and there are about sixty or seventy days of vacation in a year."

Zhu Ying's voice landed, and everyone couldn't help but exclaim.

"The officials of the Han Dynasty are so cool?"

"That's great, isn't it?"

"Why didn't I become an official in the Han Dynasty?"

......

Even if the official holidays in the Ming Dynasty were few, the working hours every day were very long, at least five hours or more.

And once the emperor wants to see him, he must be on call twenty-four hours a day.

Even the invention of 996 surnamed Ma is much more humane than Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Then if you know that by the time of the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, the imperial court had already begun to implement the ten-day holiday, and you could take one day off every ten days, what would you think?"

"Although it looks inferior to the Han Dynasty on the surface, major holidays, such as the Spring Festival and the winter solstice, can be taken off for seven consecutive days."

"Not only that, but the rest of the festivals, such as the Dragon Boat Festival, such as the emperor's birthday, and even the birthdays of saints such as Lao Tzu and Confucius, can be taken off."

"So, in total, the number of days off in one day has reached more than 100 days."

Zhu Ying smiled faintly.

In the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, the treatment of officials was excellent, basically at the peak level of all dynasties, and because of the developed economy, there was already a shadow of the Golden Week.

Even in the Yuan Dynasty, when the Tartars were emperors, after a year, officials could rest for a month.

Zhu Ying's voice landed, and some people even began to swallow saliva.

Compared with our predecessors, we look like officials!

We're not even as good as livestock!

What the emperor's eldest grandson said is right!

The officials of the Ming Dynasty are not as good as dogs!

"What's that......"

"Little bunny, get down to business! Get down to business! ”

"If this is not a military attaché, why does it affect the incense?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's old face turned red and quickly diverted the topic.
