"Impossible! It's absolutely impossible!" Zhan Hui waved his hand.
"There won't be an empress in our Big Ming!”
"Why?" Xu Ben asked.”
"If a woman becomes the emperor, no one in the world will obey her, not even the King of Chen!!!”Zhan Hui said firmly.
Xu Ben was skeptical.
"Let's wait and see for the time being."
On the way to Quanzhou.
"Bang!"
Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the carriage with a livid face.
"Father, calm down. Let's look down for the time being. Just a name can't prove anything!”
"Yes!" Zhu Yuanzhang replied with a gloomy expression.
At this moment, in the video,
Zhu Yueyao ascended the throne at the age of 25.
Fortunately, he only managed to kill three of his brothers before ascending to the throne.
The video showed a handsome man's face.
At this moment, in the bullet screen…
"Good, good. It's not the empress."
"Haha, there were probably a lot of people who were shocked in the bullet comments earlier."
"How can I not be scared? How many people did Wu Zetian kill to get to the top? It's so scary!"
Number Two transformed the Great Ming World.
"Fortunately, it's not."
"Fortunately, it's not."
Zhan Hui and Xu Ben heaved a sigh of relief.
Zhu Yuanzhang also heaved a sigh of relief.
"We can finally rest assured."
At this moment, the video continued.
The moment Zhu Yueyao ascended the throne, he made a decision.
Give the officials under him a raise!
The annual salary of the cabinet officials of Great Ming Dynasty was one million Ming Yuan, plus the benefits for business trips, the annual pension of 200,000 Ming Yuan after retirement, and other housing subsidies added up to a total of 100,000 Ming Yuan.
(The purchasing power of one Ming Yuan is equivalent to one tael of silver)
Below the cabinet were the ministerial-level officials. Compared to the cabinet officials, the salary and benefits of these Ming officials were reduced by 10%.
And so on.
Even a seventh-grade county magistrate of Great Ming had an annual salary of around three hundred thousand Ming Yuan.
The lowest level of minor officials had an annual salary of around 100,000 Ming Yuan.
At this time, the amount of money that Ming used to pay officials was about two billion.
The officials in the territory of the vassal king had their own responsibilities, but the Ming Dynasty did not care.
Even though the salary was so high, Zhu Yueyao still gave a raise to the salary of the officials above the seventh rank!
It would increase by 10%, which was 10% of the original price.
Ever since Glory Sect started, their salary would increase by a little every year.
It would only rise to a million yuan a year and then stop.
Hundreds of years had passed, and his salary had increased again.
This was too much for the officials of the Ming Dynasty.
Although the original money was far enough for his own use.
However, who would complain about having too much money?
At this moment, in the bullet screen,
"One Ming Yuan is equivalent to one tael of silver! That would be more than a hundred catties of rice. The cabinet officials would have over a hundred million catties of rice a year. This... Can you finish this?"
" Oh my, an official can earn so much money. No wonder everyone wants to be an official."
"So much money. I must nurture my child and let him become an official!!!”
"Is there anyone who is an official who can come out and say whether or not they are earning so much money?"
However, even though the bullet screen kept calling out, there were no officials who came out to speak.
At this moment, Number Two was transforming the Great Ming World.
Wenying Hall.
All the officials fell silent.
They looked at the video indifferently, and tears appeared at the corners of their eyes.
"I'm so envious!"
"Sigh, who wouldn't be envious?"
"I suddenly feel sick. I'll tell the minister that I'm taking a leave today."
"Sigh…"
The Hall of Virtuous Culture sighed repeatedly, and almost everyone fell to the ground weakly.
An inexplicable sadness instantly filled the entire Hall of Virtuous Culture.
Xu Ben and Zhan Hui were the same.
" Old Xu, I finally know why you trust Prince Chen so much." Zhan Hui stared at the video.
He couldn't be blamed for this. The money that Emperor Hongwu gave him was too little.
Carriages, servants, socializing, festivals, official clothes, official hats, and other expenses added together, this year's salary was barely enough to live on.
But...
If their family background was poor, they would probably have problems eating after retirement.
Therefore, Zhan Hui was very envious.
He even had the urge to go to Quanzhou and bring back the King of Chen.
Unfortunately, this was just a thought.
"Old Zhan, I trust His Highness not because of this, but because of my feelings. You don't understand.
However, it has now been proven that my taste is indeed not bad.
"With His Royal Highness, I can not only display my talents, but also accumulate my wealth. Ah, I'm really wise!" Xu Ben smiled.
This Old Xu had good taste.
Damn it! Your Majesty Hongwu, it's not that I'm not loyal, but King Chen has given me too much.
Please forgive me!
Zhan Hui silently threw himself into the camp of King Chen's Party.
However, at this moment, who in the Wenying Hall wasn't a follower of King Chen?!
On the way to Quanzhou.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked very dissatisfied. He did not tease her in the bullet screen.
Instead, he was dissatisfied that Zhu Chen had set such a high salary.
What a waste!
Those officials would work even if they were paid more.
If that was the case, there was no need to give such a high salary.
If this wasn't a waste, then what was?
What was that? Young Master Qian isn't working hard?
Then let's exchange!
There were so many people in the world who wanted to be an official.
What was that? Young Master Qian wanted to be corrupt?
Then kill him! Skinning the skin and planting grass!
Punish these corrupt officials!
This was the way to rule.
" Boss, remember the salaries of the officials. We have calculated it carefully. It is enough for them to live on. There is no need to increase it, understand?" Zhu Yuanzhang said earnestly.
"Yes, Father."
Primitive Great Ming World Number One.
Wenying Hall.
The same silence, the same envy.
In fact, he was even more envious than the civil officials of the Second Great Ming World.
After all, for at least ten years since the establishment of the Second Great Ming World, the salaries of the officials had been paid on time.
It was unlike the Great Ming World Number One, which had just been established four years ago.
the country's reign is full of ruins waiting to be revived.
Officials 'salaries would naturally not be paid on time. They would only be paid when there was excess money in the transport warehouse.
If there wasn't any extra, then he would owe them for now.
The more they thought about it, the more tears welled up in the eyes of the civil officials.
"Sigh…"
"Sigh…"
The civil servants all returned to their posts dejectedly.
"Uh..." Lee Shan Chang watched silently.
To be honest, he couldn't experience this feeling.
He had been with the Emperor since the beginning and had received many rewards over the years.
Therefore, even after Li Shanzhang retired, he could still live in the Qinhuai River if he wanted to.
" Sigh, it's such a pity that I can't experience this feeling." Lee Shan Chang shook his head regretfully.
However, he did not notice Liu Bowen, who was gnashing his teeth.
Different from Li Shan Chang, he, Liu Bowen, became a monk halfway through his life. His family background was far inferior to Li Shan Chang and the other Huaixi nobles.
"Forget it, it hurts my mind to see too much."
Liu Bowen sighed.
At this moment, in the Hall of Heaven's Tribute.
"Sister, do you think the salary we set is not enough for the officials?”
