Xu Hu and Xie Hongling have a son, and both of them are in the army. Xie Hongling is a woman. It is not surprising that she wants to take care of her husband and children after having children.

Sure enough, within two days, the memorial came. Xiao Yuan criticized it without saying a word and retained her military achievements and title.

Lu Yunyan was also very happy about this and started chatting with Xiao Yuan during dinner. After all, Xie Hongling was like her best friend.

"Brother Wang, Hongling has many military achievements. You can't just ignore everything just because she is a daughter's family and now she is taking care of her husband and children." She said, "There is no military rank, so there should be a second-rank lady."

"It should be granted a title when the country was founded." Xiao Yuan had no objection, it was indeed worth it. Xie Hongling had thousands of troops and horses to break through the siege and rode a beautiful woman across the mountain. The first female general was not a fan of it.

After the official system was determined, in the past few days, Xiao Yuan was dealing with the salary of officials, including the military pay of regular soldiers and soldiers of the Wuwei Office.

In the past, the salary was in a corner of Qin. As the world fought for hegemony, the purchasing power of silver and money continued to fluctuate, and the same was true for food. Of course, it was before the unification. Now it was unified, prices were gradually stabilized, and the salary was no longer the same.

Because of the unity of currency, economic development, and the exchange rate of silver and copper coins are all very important.

After Xiao Yuan picked up some vegetables for his wife, he said, "What do you think about the salary of officials?"

Lu Yunyan said: "It cannot be too high or too low. If it is too high, the burden on the treasury is high; if it is too low, they will find ways to embezzle."

Xiao Yuan nodded: "My sister Wang is right. Ministers not only have their salaries, but also their salaries and titles. These must be considered."

The couple ate and chatted, and from time to time they picked up their favorite dishes.

At night, Xiao Yuan hugged her soft waist and induced him slowly: "My sister Wang, let's wash together."

"don't want."

The next morning court.

Xiao Yuan made a final decision on the salary of officials.

It is still a monthly salary, and based on the unified currency, the copper coins exchange rate has been adjusted to a certain extent.

In order to be more clear, the formulation is based on literature. Of course, officials at all levels can also receive silver when receiving their salaries.

The monthly salary of the first-rank minister is 20,000 yuan. (20,000 yuan in purchasing power)

Excluding the income from saviors and titles. (These are equivalent to allowances and position subsidies, as well as benefits, bonuses, etc.)

That is to say, the basic salary is 20,000.

In fact, if you can become a first-rank minister, you must have a title. With the salary, it is estimated that it is much more than the basic monthly salary, so there is not too little, and it is more than enough to raise servants' families.

From a first-rank minister, it is 18,000 words.

The second grade is 17,000 texts.

From the second grade, it is 16,000 text.

The third grade is 15,000 texts.

From the third grade, it is 14,000 texts.

The fourth grade is 13,000 texts.

From the fourth grade, it is 12,500 text.

The fifth grade is 12,000 texts.

The seventh grade is 10,000 texts.

From the seventh grade, it is 9500 texts.

The eighth grade is 9,000 texts.

From the eighth grade, it is 8,000 texts.

The ninth grade is 7,000 texts.

From the ninth grade, it is 6,000 texts.

County-level documents, miscellaneous officials, prison officials, etc. are 5,000 documents.

The prison guard is 4,000.

These are basic monthly salary, just like a prison guard, he may have a bonus.

Since such a standard was set, Xiao Yuan must have thought it through careful consideration and comprehensive consideration. Taking the county magistrate as an example, he roughly calculated that with his basic monthly salary and various salary allowances, the annual salary is about 250,000 yuan. If there is no special purpose, the fluctuation will not be too large.

The salary this time was settled, including the army and officers and soldiers.

The regular army's ordinary soldiers are 5,000 yuan, and there is no retirement subsidy.

The officers and soldiers of Wuwei Mansion also have 5,000 entries.

After the matter was finalized, almost all the ministers had no objection, but Liu Yuzhi stood up:

"King, is the salary of officials being adjusted too high? After all, after the currency is unified, the purchasing power of copper coins will be extremely stable at that time."

"I'm asking for advice." Liu Changqing stood up and bowed: "What the Prime Minister said is very true. Such an official salary will be too heavy for the national treasury."

Xiao Yuan pondered for a moment, glanced at Zhou and said, "What do you think of all the ministers?"

People paused, and soon, Ding Rong stood up and said seriously: "The king Mingjian, how can an official serve the country if he can't even support himself? Therefore, the ministers think that this salary adjustment is very perfect and there is no need to change it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Changqing sneered: "Take Lord Ding as an example, the third-rank official position has a monthly salary of 15,000 yuan, and the price of grain is 3 cents per kilogram, and the firewood, rice, oil, salt and cloth can consume every month. Even if it is a little extravagant, 1,000 yuan is enough. Is the remaining 14,000 yuan not enough for you? This is not your salary."

"Absurd!" Ding Rong immediately retorted: "Lord Liu is alone, which does not mean that others are the same! Which official has no servants at home, and so many people don't eat!"

"Hmph! I think you, Lord Ding, have too many concubines!"

Liu Changqing said in a sincere voice: "As an official, you should be concerned about the people's livelihood and the country. How can you be greedy for wealth and pleasure? As long as you have food and accommodation, even if you don't have a penny!"

"You!" Ding Rong was angry and said to Xiao Yuan: "The words of King Liu Changqing are purely inconsistent."

"I'm sorry?" Liu Changqing sneered again and said bluntly: "When Lord Ding is an official, I'm afraid he doesn't just want to make money, but he has few corruption and abuse of power."

"You are slandering!" Ding Rong's nose almost turned crooked. Liu Changqing was targeting him everywhere, openly and secretly, as if he was sick.

"Master!"

The two bowed to Xiao Yuan at the same time.

"Okay!" Xiao Yuan frowned slightly, stopped the two of them from continuing to argue.

The two of them were silent and bowed to the train. Ding Rong couldn't help but glared at Liu Changqing.

Liu Yuzhi shook his head secretly. Liu Changqing was right to stand up, but he didn't say the point. He paused and said again: "King, let's not talk about the official salary for now, it's just that the military expenses are too high."

Xiao Yuan sighed lightly: "Prime Minister, the soldiers followed me to fight south and north, and went through life and death. If the country is not perfect in terms of military expenditure, I cannot do it."

Liu Yuzhi was silent for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, the king should consider whether to disarmament. At present, the total national troop strength is more than 1.4 million, and the number of officers and soldiers in the Wuwei Prefecture is about 300,000. Such a huge army can be stationed, but the military expenditure that the country needs to spend must be considered."

During the Battle of Qin Ling, Qin State mobilized a million troops. This was not considered a border garrison, but when it came to the back, it was more and more, so there were more than 1.4 million.

After considering it, Xiao Yuan said, "This matter is debated. Since the Prime Minister has proposed it, I have also considered it. The regular army can be set at 800,000, plus 400,000 reserve troops, totaling 1.2 million troops."

"As for the Wuwei Mansion, it is responsible for local public security and catching murderers and robbers. The number of people cannot be deleted, so it will be changed to 4,500 documents."
