"Kid Fang, why don't you like being an official?”
"If what you say makes sense, even if we don't want this fourth-grade black gauze, we will report to the Emperor to ask him to take back the imperial edict that gave you an official position.”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Fang Yunfei mockingly.
Not only Zhu Yuanzhang, even Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang, Xu Da, and Lan Yu were curious.
Cultivate one's moral character, govern the family, rule the country, and pacify the world!
Being an official could be said to be the highest dream of the ancients.
From a commoner to a seventh rank official of the imperial court, they felt that Fang Yunfei should be crying and grateful.
Why did this kid look like he was unlucky?
Zhu Yuanzhang had already summarized Fang Yunfei in his heart with two words:
Pretentious!
"There's a saying that goes,'An official who travels thousands of miles only for money.' But in my Ming Dynasty, the salary is too low. Being an official not only did not make him rich, but he also had to pay for it when he was anxious. Who can stand this?"
Fang Yunfei's expression was like a customer who had accidentally bought a fake.
His face was filled with pain and resentment!
"Impossible!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang was the first to jump up and object!
"My Great Ming Dynasty has set a rule that the first grade of the current dynasty has eighty-seven stones of rice per month, the second grade has seventy-two stones, the second grade has sixty-one stones, and the second grade has forty-eight stones.”
"The salary of officials will be reduced according to their grade. As a seventh-grade official, you can receive seven stones of rice from the court every month.”
"Even a minor official of the ninth rank would have five dan of rice every month, which is more than enough to feed a family of five.”
"How much can a little kid like you eat? You actually think that the salary of my Great Ming officials is low?”
Zhu Yuanzhang retorted righteously.
The salaries of the officials of all levels in Great Ming were something that he, Old Zhu, had racked his brains to figure out.
It could be said to be a magnanimous and meticulous calculation.
It was definitely more than enough to feed officials of all levels!
How could he be as generous as what Little Fang said?
"Sigh! You and the current emperor are indeed from the same hometown. Even their thinking patterns were so similar. Then I'd better explain it to you properly.”
Hearing Old Zhu defend Emperor Hong Wu, Fang Yunfei looked at him with disdain.
There was something wrong with Old Zhu's butt!
In the future, it would be perfect. Thief!
Although he despised him, Fang Yun Fei felt that he should still thoroughly inspire Old Zhu to give up the fantasy of continuing to work for the Darming Dynasty and run away with him.
"This is the place where the current emperor is a thief.”
"For example, if a foreign official wants to enter the capital as an official, where will he live? Do you want to rent your own house? Do I have to pay the rent myself?"
"Most of the officials in the capital are scholars. You can't possibly let the court officials squeeze into a small shabby house, right?”
"Some foreigners have been officials in the capital for a long time and have many children and grandchildren. Everyone had to accept this, right? This was another huge expense!”
"If we don't plan carefully, I'm afraid we'll have to drink wind every month.”
"I heard that the Minister of Personnel Affairs, Wu Lin, is so poor that she doesn't have the money to hire a mason. In order to save some money, he went back to paint the walls after the court session.”
"The Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Personnel is already in such a miserable state. How do you think the other officials of the capital can live?”
Fang Yunfei spoke frankly to Zhu Yuanzhang, and in the end, he actually used Wu Lin as an example.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Wu Lin in surprise, meaning that there was such a thing?
Wu Lin didn't say anything. She just pouted at the mud on the corner of her clothes, meaning, Your Majesty, what do you think?
"If the officials in the capital are miserable, then the people who are officials in the local areas should be better.”
Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect Wu Lin to be a living example in front of him, so he could only awkwardly change the topic.
"Outside? Those who are officials outside are even worse off!"
"In order to avoid the redundant officials of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the Ming Dynasty cut down the officials of the local yamen again and again.”
"Almost every local official has multiple roles. However, officials were also human beings. If he couldn't do it alone, he had to hire others to do it.”
"The higher the position, the more people you hire. One wasn't enough, at least ten! With so many people eating and drinking him, do you think this official's salary is enough?”
"Why are there more and more corrupt officials being killed in our dynasty? One of the main reasons was the lack of manpower and salary.”
"If you want to work, you have to hire someone. If you hire someone, you don't have enough money. If you don't have enough money, you have to be corrupt. If you are corrupt, you will be beheaded!”
"But corruption might not be discovered. If you don't hire people, the entire yamen won't be able to operate for half a day.”
"This is the reason why we have been pursuing corrupt officials one after another.”
"Bastard! If you say so, then those bastards are still corrupt?”Zhu Yuanzhang was furious!
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and the local governments levied exorbitant taxes, causing the people to live in poverty.
Zhu Yuanzhang had suffered a lot from these corrupt officials since he was young.
After founding Da Ming, he vowed to create an ideal world without corruption and hunger.
However, the Fang kid actually defended those corrupt officials in public.
How could this be?
If it wasn't for the fact that he had interacted with Fang brat for a few months and knew him well, he would have thought that he was a relative of a corrupt official!
