The three hairpins were naturally found by Li Ke from the warehouse, I don't know which girl used them, the material is actually estimated to be artificial jade or the like, what looks good is the carver, it will definitely not be able to do it in Datang, not that the ancient carvers are not good, but there are some things, simple carving is difficult to make.

Many of them are directly integral.

The shop prepared for Wei Zheng, Li Ke did prepare, mainly because Wei Zheng, as a third-grade official, paid 400 stone of rice every year, 9 tilts of vocational fields, and 38 miscellaneous servants.

Nine plates of regular food ingredients are distributed every day (two liters of fine rice, eight pieces of japonica rice, two liters of noodles, one and a half liters of wine, four points of mutton, four points of sauce, four pieces of vinegar, three melons, salt, soybean, green onions, ginger, sunflowers, leeks, etc., and two points of wood and spring; Three cents and a half cents in winter, three catties of charcoal (charcoal) in spring, and five catties in winter. That's about 8 dollars per month.

There is also a free working lunch every day, and every year there will be silk given by Yuanzheng, including some gold and silverware, variegated colors, etc., variegated silk fabrics, which are generally dyed problems, but the variegated colors in Datang also contain different styles of porcelain, which are also part of the variegated colors.

Others, such as Mrs. and the like, are also given similar things, and others have five sets of different clothes every year in the imperial court, etc., all in all, it seems to be a lot, but not to mention anything else, it also takes money to support a family, these things seem to be too much, if you raise a large family, it is really not much at all.

From Wei Zheng's life, it can be seen that it is tight.

But you can't ask all the ministers to be like Wei Zheng, that's not realistic.

The relevant welfare benefits Li Ke must have to keep up, the background of the dynasty is different, these things will naturally follow, otherwise the power is too great, and some people always can't resist the temptation.

If they can be given food and clothing without worrying about their income and not losing face, then these officials will naturally be a little stronger to resist temptation.

Of course, it is impossible to completely avoid it, people's desires are endless, but Li Ke doesn't want to force some people with more positive backbones to take risks because he is too poor.

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, because of the family situation is forced to take risks is not nothing, an official is not bad, but madam, the child complains every year that he is too poor, there is nothing at home, etc., all year round, he will feel guilty in his heart, and he will also be affected, after all, they are all his relatives.

People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless?

So what should be done must be done, if the court gives enough, and still takes risks, then it is time to use a big stick, this kind of thing has been inevitable since ancient times.

The reason why he left Wei Zheng alone was actually to persuade Wei Zheng, who knew that Wei Zheng accepted it easily, and did not let him persuade at all, which surprised Li Ke, and I didn't brainwash Wei Zheng, this guy, why did he change here?

Isn't this the legendary saying of seeing people and talking to people? What the hell? Good guy, I always thought you were an upright person, Wei Zheng! I didn't expect you to be upright at all.

Of course, Wei Zheng didn't know what Li Ke was thinking, and when the carriage that picked him up came, Wei Zheng naturally got into the carriage and walked to his home.

When he got home, Wei Zheng went to see his wife first, and then handed over the box that Li Ke took out.

Wei Zheng's wife is from the Pei family in Hedong, which is Pei Xingjian's Pei family.

"What is this?" Mrs. Pei asked with some curiosity.

"A gift for you." Wei Zheng stroked his beard.

Mrs. Pei was a little stunned, looking Wei Zheng up and down with a strange face, as if she had seen something incredible.

"What's wrong?" Wei Zheng's old face turned red when he was seen, but he still straightened his waist and asked confidently.

"It's nothing, I'm just curious, is this the sun coming up from the west, or is it spring for old trees to sprout?" Mrs. Pei couldn't help but tease.

"Why, it's not like I owe you so many years." Wei Zheng's old face flushed.

"Then you didn't buy this thing, did you? You can't afford such a delicate hairpin. Mrs. Pei glanced at him and pointed to the essence of the problem.

"You're right, it was given to me by His Royal Highness King Qin." Wei Zheng nodded.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin?" Mrs. Pei looked Wei Zheng up and down with some confusion, and then said thoughtfully: "You actually accepted a gift from King Qin?" Why? ”

"It's nothing, His Royal Highness the King of Qin said that he would give our family two shops, and the Tang Dynasty never sleeps." Wei Zheng shook his head and said, "I also accepted that thing, and this hairpin naturally also received." ”

"Oh? What's going on here? "Mrs. Pei was curious.

"Actually, it's nothing, I guess His Royal Highness is going to give the officials a boost in welfare, although he was the first to tell me about this thing, but it's definitely not just me, it's just that I never accept gifts, so he looked for me first, probably trying to convince me." Wei Zheng smiled faintly.

"It's really going to improve some welfare, just your little monthly money, even our family can't afford to support it, but if I give birth to two more, it is estimated that I will have to starve to death, you see how long the houses in the house have not been renovated." Mrs. Pei rolled her eyes.

"I know, I know, I've wronged you." Wei Zheng smiled, but he didn't care, he knew that his wife was just nagging, for so many years, if he hadn't taken the initiative to mention it, his wife would not have complained once.

"It's okay, you just have to know it." Mrs. Pei glared at him, "But after so many years, you can just make your own decisions about the affairs of the court, I suffered all the hardships in my family when I was young, and now I am old, so it's useless to ask for these." ”

"I know, I know, it's not a big problem, His Royal Highness King Qin looks reckless, in fact, he has always done things without leakage, and this court will be very lively in the future, hey, I won't be so easy in the future." Wei Zheng sighed.

"How?" Mrs. Pei was a little strange.

"In the past, I only needed to find His Majesty's omissions, but now all the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, hey, I have to come to find trouble, these people are much more difficult to deal with than Your Majesty." Wei Zheng sighed.

Mrs. Pei was stunned for a moment, but she didn't say much, just smiled: "Isn't this what you've always wanted to do?" lest thou come back every day with a long sigh. ”

Wei Zheng didn't speak, this thing, it's not easy, a bunch of old foxes, their brains hurt.

It would be good if this matter was so easy, although His Highness threw out the question today, although His Majesty said that he would discuss it again, but he rushed to His Majesty's calm and calm face, you said that Your Highness and Your Majesty have not communicated this issue, who believes it? Obviously, the father and son have already passed the anger.
