Vol 2 Chapter 1085: Dislike (three shifts)

"How much can the increase in salary increase? From fifty taels to one hundred taels, it is only fifty taels a year. This amount of money can make the court officials shut up, I am afraid it is delusional."
Zhou Shian shook his head repeatedly, thinking that San Yuan Gong's news was unreliable.
Raising salary is not attractive unless it is increased tenfold in one breath.
Why?
Because the salary of Dazhou officials is extremely low.
For example, if the salary of a seventh-grade Beijing official plus rice is converted, there is absolutely no one hundred taels a year.
Living in the capital is not easy.
With an income of one hundred taels a year, as a Beijing official, I am afraid that I will become a beggar.
How to do?
One is greedy for ink.
The second is to rely on family support.
When you become an official, you start as a Jinshi.
The family is tax-free and exempt from corvee and can accept contributions.
As long as the courage is strong enough, the family will be able to get rid of poverty and become rich in one or two years.
The family provides money to support the Beijing official, and the Beijing official protects the family as much as possible.
That's it.
With a little increase in salary, how can officials shut their mouths.
"There must be other compensation to make all officials of the court shut their mouths."
Zhou Shian is very sure.
He is a man who has served as an official, and he is also a Beijing official.
Among the three, he has the shortest time to leave officialdom and the longest time in office. This means that he has a better understanding of the urination of court officials.
Without sufficient benefits, it is impossible for officials to shut their mouths and keep silent.
Sanyuangong stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly, "Brother Zhou made sense. We might as well guess what compensation the Queen Mother gave the officials so that they could shut up collectively."
"Could it be Sihaihuanyu's shares?"
"It should not be."
"It can't be Shaofu's shares."
"It certainly can't be Shaofu."
"The old man thought about it, the root is probably on the ground."
"What does Brother Yang mean by this?"
Sanyuan Gong held a chess piece, closed his eyes and thought, and then shook his head again, "Thinking all is crazy."
"Brother Yang has something to say, why don't you say it clearly. Even if you think about it, it won't hurt to hear it."
Sanyuangong waved his hand, "Don't tell, don't tell. You have acquaintances in the DPRK, why not ask the officials in the DPRK."
"No one is willing to tell the truth." Sun Zhuangyuan smashed his mouth, very disgusted.
Zhou Shian laughed, "The second batch of shares of Shaofu Food Bank has been subscribed, and the price has soared by 100 acres. Of course, the officials who are in charge of such good things will not disclose the news in advance."
Sun Zhuangyuan stroked his beard, "It's all a group of villains who seek to profit only. The courts are all such people in charge, and I don't know what they will be like in the future. The emperor and the empress are most afraid of the death of the government."
Sanyuan Gong laughed, "Brother Sun can rest assured about the death of the government. His Royal Highness Qi has contributed a lot to the promulgation of the land law. It can be seen that His Highness Qi himself supports this law."
"According to Brother Yang, the status of His Royal Highness King Qi has been determined?" Zhou Shian asked curiously.
San Yuan Gong nodded slightly, "No accident, it is His Royal Highness Qi Wang."
Sun Zhuangyuan's frowning brows stretched out, "So, I feel relieved."
Sanyuangong laughed, and then said: "His Royal Highness Qi was taught by the empress's empress. He has extraordinary knowledge and is capable of literary and martial arts. Brother Sun wants to look at the long-term. We are now in an era of great change. A big change that hasn’t happened in a century, and the society has been a new face in ten or twenty years, aren’t the two excited? The old man is so excited that he can’t sleep all night."
Sun Zhuangyuan laughed and pointed at San Yuan Gong, "Brother Yang has another book to be published?"
San Yuan Gong did not conceal, "I have some ideas, and I can sort out the information, and then I can write. Brother Sun's family, can we split the households? If it is not split, the land under the name of your Xinmin Sun family obviously exceeds The upper limit will be taxed by the government."
Sun Zhuangyuan said: "Don’t hide the two of you, the old man has already replaced 80 shares of the Shaofu Grain Bank for the family. In the future, when the old man passes away, these shares will be separated. The division of households is already underway. The fields at home can meet the ten-tax one-for-one condition."
Zhou Shian tutted twice.
"Brother Sun's family is indeed a wealthy family in the world. One hundred and one hundred acres, 80 shares, close to one hundred thousand acres of land, which is really staggering. What is even more staggering is that there is enough land for household division. Roughly After calculating, your Xinmin Sun family still holds hundreds of thousands of mu of land on hand."
Sanyuangong said with a smile, "I'm afraid there will be more than hundreds of thousands of mu. There are hundreds of people from the Sun family of Xinmin, and there are almost no. 20 or 30 people with fame. If you divide it into one point, it is estimated that there will be a million mu."
Sun Zhuangyuan repeatedly denied, "There are not so many, you are all nonsense. Also, the replacement of shares in the Shaofu Grain Bank is a share of 1,000 mu, not a share of 1,100 mu."
Snapped!
Zhou Shian patted his head sharply, "I forgot. Brother Sun and his nephews are all serving as officials in the imperial court. He must have gotten the news at the first time. So he successfully subscribed for the first batch of shares in the Shaofu Food Bank. Just now, Brother Sun pretended not to know anything, he was really a villain."
Sanyuangong also pointed at him and said, "Brother Sun really got off and played with us both."
Sun Zhuangyuan laughed, "Where does the old man know that you two seem to be clever, and sometimes you are stupid. If you don't take the opportunity to play a little bit, don't you feel sorry for yourself."
"Too much, it's too much." Zhou Shian shook his head again and again, "The heart is not old!"
San Yuan Gong asked, "Brother Sun, can you tell me what plans the Empress Empress also arranged to ensure that the court officials shut their mouths."
Sun Zhuangyuan didn't sell offenses either, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty and Queen Empress are implementing a pension plan."
"pension?"
"Exactly! Similar to the subsidy for disabled soldiers, you can receive a sum of old-age pension money after an official pension, and you can also exchange it for land. This is roughly the case, and the specific terms have not been published. Because the interests of all officials are involved, everyone They are very cautious and want to look at the specific terms before making a decision."
Sanyuangong nodded secretly, "If we can really promote the pension system, it will solve the problem of many people's retirement."
Zhou Shian bluntly said, "With this pension for officialdom, the official will be more assured. Don't worry about losing power and money after getting official."
Sanyuangong laughed, "The empress dare to think and dare to do it. On the one hand, he will reduce the taxation of the xiaomin, so that the xiaomin can get tangible benefits. On the other hand, it is to subscribe for shares, buy properties overseas, and add pensions to the officials. It's a tangible benefit. It's just us scholars who can't get anything. Does the queen mother have a prejudice against me and other scholars?"
The words are similar to ridicule, but they also represent the aspirations of scholars.
Scholars are also important members. Why did the court forget about scholars?
Sun Zhuangyuan said hurriedly: "I heard that the college will also implement a pension plan."
"Oh? The empress did not forget us!" San Yuan Gong joked.
"Of course it is impossible to forget. Empress Empress invests millions of taels of silver in the academy every year. It is obvious that Empress Empress attaches more importance to scholars than anyone."
"That's true. The number of students in Shanhe Academy has exceeded 6,000. With 6,000 students, plus the teachers and the ergonomics, the expenditure in a year is astronomical."
Sun Zhuangyuan said triumphantly: "Our Zhixing Academy has exceeded two thousand students this year."
Sanyuangong and Zhou Shian were all contemptuous, so they shouldn't show off if only two thousand students were taken.
Zhou Shi Anxun went back, "You know the questions on the admissions exam of Zhixing Academy are so easy, you can't pass it, the students' ability is so poor."
Sun Zhuangyuan was unwilling to hear this.
"We Zhixing Academy's admissions examination, it is not easy to say. Every month, half of the people will be eliminated."
Zhou Shian sneered,
Shanhe College’s monthly admissions test requires at least 70% of the candidates. You go outside to find out. The candidates agree that the Shanhe College’s admission exam is the most difficult, followed by the Imperial College, and the next is your Zhixing College.
Brother Sun, I know you are eager to recruit students, but you can't reduce the difficulty. Let's recruit a group of good and bad people. This will lower the grade of your Zhixing Academy.
Last month, Brother Yang and I went to your class for a class, and your students were significantly worse than those of Shanhe Academy. With the same explanation, the students of Shanhe College can hear it without any obstacles. The students of Zhixing College sound very strenuous! "
Sanyuangong nodded and echoed Zhou Shian's statement, "It is necessary to increase the difficulty of the entrance examination. We cannot reduce the quality for the sake of quantity. In the long run, Zhixing Academy will always be a second-rate academy in people's minds and will never become a first-rate academy."
Zhou Shian added: "Brother Sun, we sincerely suggest that we hope you can adopt it. If the quality of students at Zhixing Academy continues to decline, Brother Yang and I may not go to Zhixing Academy to teach again. Students who don’t understand it will waste everyone’s time. ."
Sun Zhuangyuan said: "You can tell some simple things, and the students in our academy will definitely understand it. Teaching is a step-by-step approach. How can it be helpful."
Zhou Shian waved his hand, "With the level of the old man and Brother Yang, we don't teach students below the level of a man. I hope Brother Sun will know this."
Sun Zhuangyuan's mouth twitched, "The Juren in our college is not as unbearable as Brother Zhou said."
Zhou Shian rolled his eyes, "In my eyes, the juren of Zhixing Academy is also the level of the scholars of Shanhe Academy. Maybe even some of them are not as good as some of them. They are all hit by the Universiade before they can be admitted to the juren fame."
Sun Zhuangyuan's heart is stuck.
This is a 10,000-point crit.
Sanyuan Gong happily said, "Brother Sun listened to our persuasion to increase the difficulty of enrollment. It doesn't hurt to let those candidates take the exam a few more times. If they don't take the entrance exam more times, those students don't know their level. Everyone feels good about themselves, not desirable."
"The students at Zhixing College lack self-knowledge. They always compare with Shanhe College, thinking that they are at the same level as the students at Shanhe College. The old man wanted to scold him several times, but it was only in the face of Brother Sun that he held it back." Zhou Shi An talked and complained.
