Chapter 46: Wealth and Wealth

Looking at these stubborn old immortals, Fang Shiyu shook his head helplessly.

He decided to say something that the other party could understand.

"Even if I can get married, so what?"

"Do you know how mobile the Jinyiwei is? What should I do if the commander ordered me to go out for business one day?"

"In terms of my salary, although one person is full and the whole family is not hungry, I have no money to take my wife out."

"According to the regulations issued by the court, the appointment time of officials is generally three years, and the three years only lasts nine days of holidays, and I don't even put them together."

"Maybe when I come back in three years, there will be an extra two-year-old child in the family!"

"I went out for three years and there was a two-year-old child at home."

"I'm so laughing to death."

"I can only say that your wife is unfaithful and actually steals people from you."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

When Lan Yu heard Fang Shiyu's words, he was the only one who laughed foolishly, but the rest fell into deep thought.

Although Fang Shiyu's words are quite funny, they do tell a big problem.

There were many officials in the Ming Dynasty. They either had a meager salary, or because their parents were old, or because their children were young, so they could only take up their posts alone.

This has led to many problems such as separation between the two places, elderly people supporting their children, and education.

In addition, the ancient transportation and communication were underdeveloped, so let alone meeting between the two sides, it may not have even been sent to letters in these three years.

Compared with empty-nest elderly people, these left-behind children are not much better.

Many officials of the Ming Dynasty complained about this, but due to Zhu Yuanzhang's power, they dared not speak out.

But I didn't expect that Fang Shiyu would dare to make ground on Tai Sui's head today.

Zhu Yuanzhang next to him was full of embarrassment.

He is a workaholic and has always used a workaholic attitude to demand others.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought to himself that when he was young, he couldn't even eat enough and could not even live in a place.

Now you guys don’t have to go hungry, and you can also be officials, with three days of paid holidays a year.

This is simply the gift from Zhu Yuanzhang to you.

You actually dare to be picky.

Do you want your head?

"If you say this by Xiao Fangzi, it's really a problem."

After pondering for a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke slowly.

After listening to what Fang Shiyu said, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he had many things that were not so good.

There are some small problems.

"I tell you, these are nothing."

"The most terrifying thing about being an official in my Ming Dynasty is that life may be in danger at any time."

"Scary, it's really scary!"

Fang Shiyu sighed to the sky, his face full of helplessness and grievance.

"Benefactor, you're just exaggerating this. Even if it's not good to be an official in my Ming Dynasty, I wouldn't beheaded for no reason, right?"

The prince asked in surprise.

Fang Shiyu smiled disdainfully.

"Who told you not to behead you. Being an official in the Ming Dynasty was a high-risk profession? Do you know? Do you know how many officials the Ming Dynasty would kill in a year?"

Zhu Biao calculated carefully in his mind, and then stretched out a finger.

"There are about a thousand people!"

"Do you know how many officials there were in the Ming Dynasty?"

"If you are in a bad mood when you are rushing to your Majesty, this official will be killed faster than taking office."

"Now tell me, is it very risky to be an official in the Ming Dynasty?"

Fang Shiyu said to Zhu Biao with serious expression.

"But these people are not worth dying."

"These officials are either compulsory or corruption or abuse of power!"

"Do you think these corrupt officials should not be killed, and should keep these corrupt officials to harm the people?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Fang Shiyu say that he was killing people randomly, he was immediately dissatisfied.

Although he has killed more officials in a year, he is well-founded and every official killed should be killed!

He could touch his conscience and ensure that all the officials who were killed violated the Ming Dynasty laws he formulated, and everyone was not willing to die.

There were no officials who were wrongly killed.

"My old man, although what you said does make some sense."

"But I tell you, you are just standing and talking without a pain in your back."

"As a fourth-rank military general, you are in Kyoto, and you can use your authority to make some gray income, so you don't have to worry."

"Can you compare those officials who are not in the country?"

"I can't see my relatives for three years. How many people can stand it?"

"I've been in charge of a lot of broken things all day and I don't say anything about it in advance, and then I don't have many helpers at my disposal. Do you think he wants to hire someone outside?"

"But the problem arises again. Whether it is to bring relatives to live with you or to hire helpers outside, it all requires money, and the money given by the court is not enough."

"While taking office alone and having no relatives, I have to take care of a lot of messy things. Even if I do, I have to spend some time to make some money."

"I've come back to the topic, but the court actually gave too little money."

Fang Shiyu said with disdain.

In the Ming Dynasty, officials did not have various gray incomes like they did in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and basically could only earn a salary.

Whether it is office or living, how can this salary be enough?

However, Zhu Yuanzhang hated corrupt officials in his heart. In the Ming Dynasty law he formulated, as long as the corruption reaches 60 taels, he must be peeled off and grass, and if the corruption reaches 60 taels, the law of exile must be issued.

This led to the fact that the official who was still the master this morning and the afternoon was likely to become a prisoner for others.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, seven or eight out of the ten officials were guilty.

You can often see a funny scene, that is, an official is wearing torture instruments to work in the court, and then returns to the prison to wait for processing after finishing the office.

In addition, later generations gave these officials a special name, called the Sin.

"Every day, I get up earlier than a chicken and go to bed later than a dog, and eat worse than a pig and do more things than a donkey. If I am not careful, I may be beheaded. This is the true portrayal of our Ming Dynasty officials."

"Anyway, if anyone wants to be a broken official, I don't want to be a member of it."

Fang Shiyu lay peacefully on his Grand Master chair, showing that he was as if he loved and went to.

"It makes no sense!"

Seeing Fang Shiyu's performance so intensely, Zhu Yuanzhang was also a little confused.

"You tell me why it makes no sense."

"You said I am a good ordinary citizen and I have to be a broken official. Do you think I have something wrong with my brain?"

"You recommend me to be an official, do you want to harm me?"

Looking at Fang Shiyu's angry look.

Li Shanchang and others next to him also nodded repeatedly, showing a look of sharing honor and disgrace.

"Forget it, I don't want to continue to mess with you!"
