No shortage of walls

He Shizhang thought for a moment. He said:"Wei Chen can do it." He didn't feel happy about being promoted at this moment, but frowned deeply. I have been promoted to the second level and my responsibilities are even greater. The problem is that it is my first time to jump so fast and I have no experience at all. I'm afraid I'll be so busy that my head breaks off.

Song Xingdao:"Pingsheng - you should get familiar with it as soon as possible and serve as the Minister of Rites within three years."

He Shizhang had already stood up, but he knelt down again with a thump."Your Majesty! You can't be a humble minister!"

He became a minister at the age of thirty-three. It is really a strange thing through the ages. The problem is that the responsibility is too great. I thought to myself that Mr. Liu probably retired after three years. He is already over sixty years old. I have turned seventy in three years, and whether I can survive until then is still a question.

This is a headache.

Song Xingdao:"I allow you to choose a few more officials and make arrangements after you get familiar with them. If something is not right, you can just ask the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty for advice."

He Shizhang frowned deeply. He said:"Wei Chen is young, so he wants to ask the adults in the court for advice. I am afraid that he is too young and it is difficult to convince the public. As for inviting more officials, the Ministry of Rites has already followed the law. There have been so many people throughout the ages."If you want to serve more officials because of your incompetence, it would be against the law. You just need to learn slowly by yourself. Thank you for Your Majesty's grace."

Song Xing said warmly:"I employ people regardless of their age, as long as they have the ability. That's fine. Just stand upright. You should also pay attention to rest. You've lost a few pounds."

He Shizhang could hear concern. He said hurriedly:"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty! It's fine now. Now Song Guo can eat enough. He has eaten three meals. He is a little busier and not as hungry as before. Weichen is young and has nothing to do. He has been working hard and is completely Weichen." I just have no experience and it has nothing to do with state affairs."

Song Xing said:"Then you go back and have a rest. After this court meeting, there will be a second-level decree issued."

He Shizhang said:"Thank you for your kindness! I will retire." At that moment, he bowed down and backed to the door before turning around and leaving.

Song Xing looked at the smile on Lu Zhi's face. He said,"Come and see how much Mr. He spends."

As the emperor's guard and the commander of the imperial army who can bring a sword to court, he naturally knows more secrets than anyone else.

There are fewer eunuchs in the harem, everything in the royal study has been taken over by the imperial army, and the task of delivering orders has also been handed over to the imperial army. Only occasionally, nobles from the harem come to serve tea, and the imperial army avoids it.

Lu Zhiyi picked it up and looked at it. He said:"Wei Chen has been looking at Master Liu more and more lately, and the more he dislikes him."

He was a martial artist and had served in the army. The officials of the Song Dynasty had their salaries increased by 50%, and they were able to eat well again. Nowadays, common officials in the Song Dynasty are popular in growing vegetables, potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, etc., and their first-grade salary is more than 50% to 60% per month. In the past two years, God has been blessed, and this old guy is still so greedy.

Lu Zhi's family only had one wife and one concubine. The relationship is very good. The wife gave birth to four daughters, the eldest, and two sons, the queen. The concubine gave birth to two daughters and a son. The eldest daughter and the second daughter are already married.

The family's expenses were so low, Lu Zhi's food went to the Forbidden Army, and he could eat before going back. Only Xiu Mu went home to eat. Secondly, it is inseparable from the diligence of wives and concubines.

As the commander of the first-class imperial army, although he does not have a fiefdom, his mansion is very large. In the past, wives and concubines only grew some vegetables, but now the emperor grows them in the palace, and they are all novelties. The Song Dynasty has eaten mustard greens for thousands of years. The rich and powerful people in the city are proud of farming, and everyone in the court is proud of it. The garden was cleared and all the land was planted.

In Lu Zhi's home, almost all the emperor's food and vegetable seeds were planted. The three-acre garden seemed to be still not enough. The wives and concubines dug a hole the size of a toothpick in the brick joints of the sidewalk and threw in a small cabbage seed, and it actually grew. nice. There was no need to buy vegetables at all, and the potatoes and sweet potatoes were harvested and had to be given away. Normally, I only bought some meat and fish. But in winter, lamb and pork were distributed for free. Lu Zhi was given a lot of gifts for his high rank, and God rewarded him with two months' salary. Song Dynasty In the past, the country usually gave rewards during festivals, but they were not canceled after the orthodox emperor came to the throne. On the contrary, everyone has been upgraded and made more money; Lu Zhi's commander of the imperial army was a third-level official in the old dynasty. In other words, the old rules of heavenly grace rewards for all officials in the Song Dynasty have not been cancelled. After all upgrades, the annual reward of two months' salary and mutton and pork were added to the original rewards by the orthodox emperor. From high-ranking officials to low-ranking public officials, everyone has a share.

Compared with officials in the Song Dynasty, there was no problem in supporting their families normally, ordinary soldiers and political officials without rank. If soldiers win battles, they will be rewarded as a rule; if political officials perform well, they will be evaluated as a good example. Under normal circumstances, there is no problem in living an easy life.

It's just the human heart, it can never be enough to eat enough and use it well. Those who were extremely corrupt in the previous dynasty, such as Zhao Dian, had they not been cut off, they would have just sat and ate, and they might not have been able to use up all their family money if they lived to be a thousand years old.

The so-called greed is not something you can spend all, but something you can put away and look at... Maybe you can't even see it, it's just accumulating money. It is often when death is imminent that we realize that life is more valuable than a pile of money that will not be used until a thousand years old.

Lu Zhi likes to eat the kind of lettuce that can be eaten raw because it grows quickly. If you save your own seeds, when they bloom, the flowers will be more fragrant than before.

Maybe the emperor loved farming, and farming was popular in the Song Dynasty, so it would be faster to eat full. Even baby cabbage, a novelty, can be eaten for several days.

At least, the moment the imperial edict was issued that those who sow must save seeds, the people who took pride in growing vegetables had already won, and the results were predictable.

But an official. If we have the staple food of sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, wheat, and vegetables, our daily expenses will be reduced by more than half. In the Song Dynasty, the salary was increased by 50%. It is no longer a problem for a ninth-grade petty official to support his family. Moreover, God is so gifted that he can also engage in corruption. , that would be too much.

Song Xing originally used the high salary he met in his previous life, Xia Ming, to support his integrity so that officials could support their families, and he also provided year-end bonuses so that officials could serve the country well without worries. With his excellent mathematical skills, he briefly calculated the money of the Ministry of Accounts. Because of his strong confidence in salt production and so on, his salary was increased by 50%, and everything went as expected. In fact, the Household Department has already bottomed out a bit this year, but next year there will be taxes and taxes, and the money from the workshops is coming in like water, so it won't be a problem.
