Chapter 2557: High Salary Is More Cost-Effective to Maintain Integrity

It was noon, and Li Longji and others continued to stroll.

People from the separate department of the Ministry of Revenue in Chang'an came out one after another, each pushing a small cart, and put down their things at the bus station outside the city. Someone would send the cart back together.

The diesel-powered small train entered the station, and the officials put their things on it, found a seat, and the train blew two horns and rumbled away again.

The train stopped at the station, and some people got off, while more officials continued to sit. Their homes were in the south of the city, outside.

Those who could get off all had homes in Chang'an, and their houses were valuable.

Smoke from cooking in the concentrated residential area of ​​officials outside the city was curling, and the aroma of various dishes was wafting.

The officials' families had already prepared the meals. Today was the fifth day of the first lunar month, and they were working half a day.

Once upon a time, officials had to bring their own lunch or buy it outside the imperial city.

Some family members would prepare it and send it outside when they saw that it was almost time, and waited for someone to hand it over.

The Political Affairs Hall would occasionally be given a banquet, with two or three simple dishes.

Other officials would probably eat steamed buns, puffed cakes, and pickles.

At that time, there were too few types of stir-fried dishes. Generally, they were fried, boiled, or steamed, just like some Westerners in Li Yi's time.

Now officials have canteens at work, and the rules are the same as in Li's manor. Eat whatever you want and don't leave any leftovers.

There are 20 dishes, which is not as good as Li's manor.

In the afternoon, the canteen only makes a little food, which is eaten by yourself and given to those on duty.

The train stopped at the door of several houses, and the family members came out to help take things, and the train went to the front.

Jia Zhangqiu looked ahead, stopped, got off, and his wife Hu and second son ran out.

"Dad! Why are there so many things?" His second son asked while moving.

"The court gave part, the Ministry of Households gave an extra part, plus the reward from His Majesty and the benefits of Li's manor."

Jia Zhangqiu had a smile on his face, and there were indeed a lot of things.

He is 49 years old this year, and finally got a job with good benefits. This year, he was promoted to the seventh rank.

The salary is rising rapidly. This year, the basic salary has increased again, and the performance salary has also increased by 20%.

At first, he was just a Sihuzuo, from the ninth rank, and this was in Wannian County. If he moved to a smaller county, he would be an official outside the county.

In three years, he was promoted to the seventh rank, which was a huge leap in rank.

He was the uncle of the pregnant woman whom Li Yi met on his way to Lantian County. The child's surname was Xia, and Li Yi gave him the name.

His full name was Xia Tuanyun, his courtesy name was Liuzai, and his nickname was Miaomiao. He lacked water in the five elements, and it was very lacking.

He was four years old this year, and grew up in Lijiazhuangzi. His family was allocated a large house next to the Lijiazhuangzi on both sides.

The child's father, Xia Hao, entered the government office of Wannian County as a yamen runner and ate public food.

His wife was pregnant with another child, also a boy, and it was estimated that he would be born in August. When the weather was hot, he would go to Luoyang Lijiazhuangzi Hospital to wait for delivery and confinement.

Therefore, he ran to the government office in Luoyang to be a yamen runner, and when Li Yi returned to Chang'an, he would follow him back.

This is the result of letting Li Yi name the child. The child must be taught in Lijiazhuangzi.

After moving in all the big and small packages, Jia Zhangqiu took out a red envelope and handed it to his wife: "Lolo is for you."

"My husband has worked hard!" Mrs. Hu took the red envelope and showed a distressed look. Her husband was promoted quickly because he worked hard.

The Ministry of Revenue does not support idle people in the financial and taxation aspects. The capable ones are promoted and the mediocre ones are demoted.

"I'm used to it. I used to do this job, but I just need to learn more other knowledge."

Jia Zhangqiu looked at the things and red envelopes and felt that everything was worth it.

The packages and boxes were opened, and there were floral water, soap, soap, skin care products, sanitary napkins, pens, ink, paper and inkstone, cooling oil, incense made of ambergris, makeup boxes, a small bottle of perfume, ham from Lijiazhuangzi, canned food, enamel pots, kerosene lamps, thermos bottles...

Mrs. Hu and Jia Zhangqiu's second son were stunned. They knew all the things.

"Husband, why are you giving so much?" Mrs. Hu was nervous. A makeup box with a mirror, perfume, kerosene lamp and thermos were also given?

"I added a supplementary table that conforms to our current tax accounting. It was rewarded to me. Li Dongzhu agreed."

Jia Zhangqiu scratched his head and explained why the Li family was so generous.

"Is your supplementary table being used now?" Mrs. Hu was proud. Look at my man.

"No, Li Dongzhu agreed, and then gave a set of tables, which is better than what I figured out. I am using that one now.

I am reminding Li Dongzhu that Li Dongzhu didn't use this before, but now he has it. Li Dongzhu is a scholar.

But Li Dongzhu rewarded me an extra 200 coins. The manager who came here asked me to keep up the good work. Come on!"

Jia Zhangqiu expressed his admiration. The result he thought of could be more perfect.

He got the money, 200 coins!

He opened the red envelope as he said that according to the normal salary before, he was a seventh-rank official, 1,750 coins, 350 coins for food, and 350 coins for miscellaneous expenses.

The money he got was 2,450 coins a month, that was in the past.

Now the normal salary is five times that, 12,250 coins.

Add 7,050 coins for performance-based salary, a total of 19,300 coins, 19 and 300 coins.

Because of the report he made, the Ministry of Revenue rewarded him 50 coins, and Li's family 200 coins.

Today he brought back 269 and 300 coins, a huge sum.

Hu's hand was shaking as she held the money, but Jia Zhangqiu's second son found something wrong: "Dad, the money is not a voucher!"

Hu looked down, what picture? Fake money?

She looked at them one by one, and none of them looked the same as before.

"Tang Dynasty's paper money, Lijiazhuangzi will no longer issue paper money in the future, UU reading www.uukanshu.net will all be new Tang Dynasty paper money, which is more beautiful than the original."

Jia Zhangqiu introduced that we have started to use Tang Dynasty's money, and Lijiazhuangzi's money cannot be used all the time.

"Will others recognize it?" Hu still thinks that the exchange voucher is better.

"The court puts the collateral in Lijiazhuangzi, and Lijiazhuangzi prints paper money, one to one.

You can use paper money to exchange for gold, silver, copper, yinchen wood and other things at any time in Lijiazhuangzi.

I tell you, don't spread it, the fiscal revenue of Tang Dynasty last year exceeded 210 million strings.

We Tang Dynasty has money, otherwise how dare we give me such a large salary?

With this money, I can no longer embezzle or take benefits to make false accounts for others."

Jia Zhangqiu revealed something, the higher the income, the more afraid he is of doing something wrong.

He can apply for retirement after working for another eleven years, and then the court will give him a large sum of money at a time.

For example, if he worked for forty years, he would be given half of his income for forty years according to his last retirement grade.

That is, the basic salary, 12,250 coins, multiplied by the month, including the leap month, and then multiplied by forty divided by two.

The money he got was more than three thousand coins, more than three million coins! The premise is that he did not commit a crime, otherwise...

He is still eleven years away from sixty years old. If others want to cheat by taking advantage of his connections, he will not agree to give him three thousand coins.

He still has the money he earned during normal work, including various benefits.

Even if it is not ten thousand coins, he will still have a large sum of money after retirement, and his salary will still be paid, and he still has children.

He was dealt with, and his children were all abandoned.

The official of the seventh rank is the county magistrate of the upper county in the local area. How much money could a county magistrate make in Li Yi's time?

As long as the county magistrate leads the people of a county to become rich, will he be given millions or tens of millions when he retires? If he doesn't give it to others, he can make hundreds of millions himself.
