Chapter two hundred and four pension arrangements
Not long after entering Fanyu City, Li Jia re-organized household registration to Xingwang Mansion and established a strict household registration system. Each household had a household head, ten households were one insurance company, and ten insurance companies were one li, ten insurance companies were one li, five miles were one a Jia, and a Jia head was one.
Chief A is equivalent to the fangzheng, and he is in charge of five hundred households. In order to better control the local area, Li Jia set up Chief A with the lowest rank, and the lowest rank is directly affiliated with the county. The appointment power is also in the county. He served every five years and had a small official office, which is less than five acres, but it represents the court.
Qinzhou Jia, Wu Yun, the chief of the Jia, was sitting on his chair and resting. Next to him was an old Confucian scholar in his fifties who was constantly splashing ink and writing quickly, and the wrinkles on his forehead were squeezed into a ball.
Each Jia has its own name, and their names belong to Governor Li. Therefore, the major prefectures and cities in Lingnan became the names of each Jia, as if they had ruled Fanyu City and ruled the entire Lingnan.
Although, it does...
"Mr. Zhao, how long will it take to copy it?" Looking at the hard-working Confucian scholar, Wu Dajia sighed. It was really hard to be a leader. The court only provided three officials. The old Confucian scholar was responsible for the education and documents, and there were two others, one was responsible for collecting taxes and the other was responsible for catching theft.
There are only four people who manage thousands of people and are full of miscellaneous things. From time to time, they are called by the county magistrate to give a lecture. Thank you very much.
"This time the imperial guards rewarded a lot. Judging from the documents issued by the county government, there were thirteen people who were punished for the death of Jia in Qinzhou. They all needed to be exempted from taxes and corvee labor, so it was inevitable that there was some trouble..." The old Confucian scholar touched his goatee and sighed.
"The salary is only a coin of money, and it is so hard-working-" Wu Jiachang felt very unbalanced. His boss, County Magistrate Zhang, had a monthly salary of thirty stags. With more or less efficiency, 500 stags per year is still less, especially in the large counties in the capital.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Rusheng felt uncomfortable. He had 500 yuan a month, and it was difficult for him to live in the capital. He could only eat and spend money, and he was even more unhappy.
However, there are regulations above that if you are an official for more than three years, your salary will increase by half. After the five-year period expires, Chief A may become the throne. Ten years later, if you do not make mistakes, you will definitely become the throne.
I thought that I could become an official in a few years, even if I was a ninth-rank sesame official, it would be a matter of shining my family. No matter how hard he worked, he would have to hold on in the past few years.
Wu Jiachang, who was beside him, had this idea. There was a vinegar shop and a rice shop in his house, which was quite valuable. There was no need to be a Jiachang.
However, Chief A can be promoted. After one term, he will be promoted to other county officials, such as the head of the Sixth House or the inspector. Although they are all ninth ranks, their powers are very different.
Moreover, Chief A is also an official. As long as he uses some money, he can get his sons and nephews into the Imperial Academy. This is a chance to reach the sky, and it depends on this to become a family of officials.
Every year, nearly half of the imperial examinations are students.
Also, if you become an official, you will naturally lose your own family, and other hidden benefits will naturally be countless.
"Master, everything is transported-" As soon as they stretched, the other two officials rushed back with two ox carts. They brought the pension coins and other things from the county government.
"There are only 130 jin of qian coins in total, thirteen dou of oil, 130 jin of salt, thirteen pieces of cloth, and thirteen jars of vinegar, that's all!"
Looking at these two officials with a tiger-backed and bear-waisted waist, one of them was blind and the other had a broken arm. Zhang Jiachang looked at it and said:
"Since it's all right, let's go!"
"Okay!" The two of them drove the ox cart, carrying the old scholar and the chief of the arsenal, and slowly set off on the road.
"I heard that these two people are both from imperial guards, how can we get the benefits?" Looking at the straightforward appearance of these two people, Wu Jialong gritted his teeth and was very helpless.
These two people took office ten days ago and were straightforward on weekdays. They only respected themselves on the surface. They were hateful. Why didn’t the court disperse these Qiubas? It was very disturbing.
After a while, the ox cart arrived at a small courtyard with white cloth hanging in front of the door, which was relatively broken. The courtyard was full of weeds. When knocking on the door, a seven or eight-year-old child poked his head out, full of vigilance: "Who are you?"
"This is Zhang Datou's family! I am the chief of Qinzhou Jiajia, I am here to send you pensions!" Wu Jiachang said with a serious face.
The door closed again, and soon, a woman wearing mourning clothes ran out, with her figure facing the boy just now, and her face was burnt:
"We don't know that Elder A is here, please forgive me!"
"Nothing is wrong, Zhang Datou left for the king's affairs. He issued a reward on his back. Just press a handprint!" Wu Jiachang said, and took out a piece of paper and red seal.
"Ten guan coins, ten jin of salt, a bucket of oil, a jar of vinegar, and a piece of cloth, all of them, sign quickly, I'm going to the next one!"
Chief Wu Jia hurriedly urged.
"Okay--" The woman was shrouded in this huge surprise, and her face was filled with tears, her hair was dispersed, and she nodded repeatedly.
"By the way, according to the rules, your family is exempted from ten years of labor service. Of course, if you don't have a strong man, you will be exempted. Something is still sent to the county garrison during the New Year. If you have any questions, just look for the county garrison..."
Wu Jia had long talked, and two soldiers had already removed the things and nailed an iron plate to the gate, with only two big characters: military subordinates.
Two military officials looked at the crying woman and remembered how miserable the family would be if they were gone. Their hearts were hot and their voices were very loud, as if they were deliberately letting others hear it:
"If you have any difficulties in the future, just look for us, all of us are comrades..."
After finishing his work, no matter how the woman cried, Wu Jiachang and his party were about to go to other homes again.
In front of the iron plate of the military family, the neighbors surrounded him, staring at him without blinking, and exclaiming from time to time.
"I really have a pension-"
"I'm exempted from corvee service!"
"The Zhang family finally breathed a sigh of relief. The orphan and widowed mother are also pitiful!"
So few neighbors had bad intentions and helped transport the things to their homes, they comforted them a little before leaving.
Everyone was very jealous. Joining the army not only gave rewards, but also died, and there was also pension. The boss had a sum of money...
There are rules to follow for the imperial guards’ vacation. Some time ago, Governor Li formulated new regulations that the imperial guards had four days a month to visit.
Therefore, this time, there were 30,000 imperial guards and at least 3,000 people returning home, and the entire Fanyu City was so lively that it was lively all night.
Since it has been easier to conquer Annan in recent days, the soldiers were not exhausted, and they recovered the Annan land without any effort. The imperial guards who went there naturally received a large amount of rewards.
It is the truth that it is normal to have money in your pocket, go home and spend a lot of money.
