The prince was criticized directly when he spoke.

The ministers saw it and were shocked in their hearts.

This Han King Zhu Gaoxu is becoming more and more arrogant and domineering!

The arrogance of the arrogance even completely ignores the difference between the king and the subject!

That's the prince!

That's the crown prince!

You are a prince and a minister, and you dare to scold the crown prince in public!

Thinking of this, even Gu Zuo's mouth was itchy.

"Prince, you..."

"Shut up, otherwise you will be sentenced to the imperial prison!"

Zhu Gaoxu gave him an angrily, and the latter immediately became honest.

This is "I am afraid of being stunned, and I am afraid of being desperate."

Gu Zuo and Gu Dazhe are famous for being in the court and the country.

At the age of 30, he became a second-rank official in the court and was also the confidant of the prince of Han in the country. Gu Zuo and Gu Liqing were famous for being a young man!

However, King Zhu Gaoxu of Han was also famous for his superiority.

Not to mention Gu Zuo, he even dared to piss off in public!

So Gu Zuo really didn't dare to exaggerate in front of the Prince of Han. He would stop talking a few words after he had nothing to do.

"The salary of the Ming Dynasty is small, and I know it too. Since you have proposed Yang Rong, let's discuss it."

"This year the court has also increased its income a lot of money. For the New Year, it's better to increase your salary!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers were moved and immediately excited.

A salary increase!

This is a great thing!

If the aspiring people such as Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong were not ashamed of their meager salary, their families would have starved to death. How could they go against their true intentions and get the benefits they shouldn't have received!

Now the Han prince is actually going to increase his salary. When the ministers heard this, they immediately became excited and unanimously passed the proposal of the Han prince supervising the country for the first time.

Zhu Gaoxu was also amused and laughed when he saw this, and he didn't know what to say.

The salary of the Ming Dynasty was small, which was notoriously low, and it could only ensure that officials would not starve to death.

The officials of the Ming Dynasty were divided into nine ranks and eighteen levels. In addition to the ninth rank, there were still minor officials who were not in the ranks. These people formed a huge team of officials in the empire.

Low salary was the most prominent feature of the Ming Dynasty. Compared with the Tang and Song Dynasties, the salary standards of the Ming Dynasty were simply ridiculously low.

During the Tang Dynasty, a high-ranking official had a monthly salary of 8,000 yuan, and another job land, a first-ranking official was 60 hectares, and a world-renowned salary, a first-ranking official was 2 million yuan (2,000 guan).

The salary in the Song Dynasty was higher than that in the Tang Dynasty. After all, it was a dynasty when the emperor and scholars ruled the world together. The officials were all full of oil and fat and big ears.

The first-rank official of the Ming Dynasty had a monthly salary of only 87 shi, which was less than a fraction of the salary compared to the Tang and Song dynasties.

As a result, the world commented: "Since ancient times, there is no such thing as the official salary system."

The second major feature of the Ming Dynasty, which reduced the income and treatment of officials to a certain extent.

The so-called official salary and color are broken into rice, mainly into pepper, sponge, silk cloth, cotton cloth, etc., and it began in the Yongle Dynasty.

Before Zhu Gaoxu "awakened", the court was so poor that he could not bear the blame, and Zhu Laosi still had to lead the Northern Expedition.

In desperation, the prince and Xia Yuanji could only try their best to raise silver.

Therefore, the imperial court stipulated that the salary of Beijing officials was 30% given to rice, and the remaining 70% were "discounted in spring and summer, and in autumn and winter, and in summer, and in summer, and in pepper."

Pepper, as an important medicine and dyeing material, is mainly used as a luxury item in the palace.

The use of this luxury goods as salary, and the official color discount value is lower than the market value, actually reduces the salary of officials.

The court has the final say in the court that the salaries of officials of the Ming Dynasty will be paid, when to pay the true salary and when to pay the discounted salary, and never considers the actual situation of officials at all levels.

Moreover, the ratio of color folding is also a one-man rule in the court. What items are issued are also released according to the actual needs of the court.

As for the third major feature, it is the wage arrears.

The court is poor and it is normal for arrears of some salary.

When Zhu Gaoxu thought of this, he felt a little upset.

If he hadn't suddenly awakened, Da Pang Pang, this little girl, wouldn't know what she was tormented by money and food.

"Okay, okay, Lao Xia, let me first talk about the salary distribution process?"

Xia Yuanji nodded and said leisurely: "His Royal Highness, the Ministry of Revenue is now only paying salaries to Beijing officials. You can pay whatever you have. You can pay them in a mixed manner. After all, if you distribute food or silver separately, other materials will accumulate in the treasury, which will cause great waste."

"But it is precisely this color that makes low-ranking officials miserable. They often have to travel around the streets to sell the materials distributed in exchange for money and grain to support their household expenses, so they have a lot of complaints..."

Nonsense, can you not complain?

You already paid a small amount, but you tried every means to deduct it in disguise, and in the end you even owed your salary...

No wonder people often say that even the officials of the Ming Dynasty were not a dog!

"As for local officials, they all intercept taxes on their own, which is also the ancestral system of Emperor Gao."

"Emperor Gao thinks that the tax will be collected first and then allocated. This will cause many unnecessary losses in the round and round. Therefore, Emperor Gao specially ordered local governments to calculate the annual expenditures of various places. After the summer and autumn taxes, the local taxes will be intercepted, and the remaining taxes will be transferred to the national treasury..."

Since the huge salt tax of the new salt law was paid, Xia Yuanji, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, has now straightened his waist and no longer hurts his legs. He has a loud voice when talking to anyone.

Zhu Gaoxu was sprayed with saliva on his face, so angry that he almost gave this old man a big fight.

"Okay, okay, I understand, shut up quickly!"

"In the future, the salary of officials below the fifth rank will double, and the salary of officials above the fifth rank will double, and they will only pay rice or silver. What officials want will choose by themselves!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers were overjoyed, even Yang Shiqi was no exception.

If there are other choices, who would be willing to be a corrupt official who accepts bribes in order to support his family, go against his true nature, regardless of his reputation?

For a moment, everyone was filled with joy and praised King Gao Yi of Han. Even Huang Huai smiled happily, completely forgot about the unhappiness that had happened before.

Seeing this, Dapang Pang felt extremely disgusted and began to sit beside him and make him angry.

Zhu Gaoxu laughed and suddenly said, "But this salary has increased for you, so how do you calculate the corruption before?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the hall was silent in an instant. The ministers were like roosters strangled, and they could no longer laugh, and their old face turned red.

Prince Han, Prince Han, you are really not a son!

Can't we be happy and discuss these pickled matters in the future?

Huang Huai was happy for only two seconds, and his face turned like a dirt when he heard this, and he could not laugh.

The big fat pony seemed to have seized the opportunity and sneered: "King of Han, if you have the ability, you can throw them all into the imperial prison. I will see who is the emperor's herder!"

Ministers: "????"

Your uncle!

Prince, are you an insider?

Do you really think this Han prince dare not?

He was a cruel person who even the emperor dared to criticize him!

All the ministers were confused and sat on the bench tremblingly, but they didn't dare to make a sound.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Dapang Pang in a speechless manner and finally sighed.

"Forget it, in order to demonstrate the magnanimity of the court, Yongle's corruption ten years ago will no longer be pursued."

"Since the tenth year of Yongle, those who embezzle less than 500 taels of yuan will be exempted from crime as long as they return the stolen money within the specified time. They only need to be recorded in their archives."

"Five hundred taels to five thousand taels, dismissal from office and dismissal from office and fame, and recovering stolen money can be exempted from prison. If the stolen money cannot be recovered, the house will be directly confiscated, and if it is not enough for the descendants to repay the debts as slaves and servants."

"More than 5,000 taels to 10,000 taels, the house will be searched to fill out the debts, and the descendants will be slaves and servants to repay their debts. They will not be allowed to take the scientific examination within three generations!"

"For those with more than 10,000 taels of death, they will be punished and will not be pardoned. Nine tribes and three generations are not allowed to take the scientific examination!"
