I just lent 500,000 guan to the Ministry of Revenue, and the next day, 100,000 guan and 300,000 guan from Wu Yue Kingdom were deposited.

Afterwards, the Ministry of Revenue immediately paid back the loan, which was even a little redundant. It seems that the Mid-Autumn Festival can be spent well.

It doesn't matter if Li Jia is so concerned. The money from the Ministry of Revenue is actually his money. As long as he asks for it, there is no one who dares to refuse.

The 250,000 pieces of military reward money from Wu Yue were actually submitted to the Military Affairs Office. No one dared to easily share the rewards. If you are desperate, you can try it.

The Military Affairs Office did not dare to be greedy for these cloths, and divided them according to their level. Yes, there were also 20,000 surrendered troops.

However, taking advantage of the situation where the court had no jobs, Li Jia couldn't wait to reform the salaries of the bureaucrats.

The salary of officials in the Tang Dynasty was called salary materials, including monthly salary, food, miscellaneous items, and officials also had guards or common servants.

The statutory amount of salary quotas for officials in the Tang Dynasty was often very different from their actual income, which was especially true for local officials. The source of their salary was either based on public office money, household tax, or green seedling money, etc.

Among them, the government money is operated by the government officials. Each person uses 50,000 yuan as principal and handed over to merchants for operation. The monthly interest rate is about 4,000 yuan, and the annual interest rate is equal to the principal. The interest collected is paid monthly according to the person, which is called "monthly money".

Other miscellaneous taxes serve as the salary of local officials, which has increased the exploitation of the people. Of course, most of the miscellaneous taxes were completely incorporated into the Spring and Autumn taxes.

For example, Du Mu, a great poet in the late Tang Dynasty, was a great poet in the late Tang Dynasty. When he was a Si Xunfu in the capital, he had a monthly salary of 40,000 yuan, but he had to support his brothers and sisters. He was in great difficulty. He then wrote to the prime minister to go to Hangzhou, but he refused and was finally sent to Huzhou.

After only one year of work, he returned to Beijing and was promoted to the Ministry of Personnel Examination Department. Before Du Mu went to Huzhou, his whole family was so hungry, but after he came back, not only did the whole family have no worries about food and clothing, but he also started to build a villa in Fanchuan outside Chang'an.

With a villa, Du Mu showed off, calling himself Fanchuan Jushi, and the family with a house is awesome.

It's a long way to go. Anyway, it can be said that since the Tang Dynasty, local officials have been engaged in corruption and continuous uprisings, and their local officials have unknown salaries, which has occupied a large factor.

Now that the south is about to settle down, Li Jia naturally freed up his hands to prepare for reforms to the bureaucrats, and at the beginning, it was salary.

Political Affairs Hall.

"Today, we will discuss matters with you, mainly the reward for the successful return of the army."

Li Jia sat upright and smiled faintly.

"Your Majesty, didn't you plan yesterday? I wonder what I can do?"

As Prime Minister, Cui Quan immediately learned about the incident in the Military Affairs Office yesterday, and the dissatisfaction in his words was very strong.

After all, the reduction of power in the Political Affairs Hall is even more a weakening for the Prime Minister. If he doesn't say it, the emperor will not be able to make a breakthrough.

In fact, as the prime minister, he could directly refute the emperor's will, but he could not do so. The majesty of the founding emperor cannot be provoked.

He can guarantee that he will have to go home to retire in the afternoon.

"Hahaha, the Political Affairs Hall is the place to discuss politics." Li Jia made a fucking haha, trying to get through.

"The reward has been planned, but there is one thing that has given the land to be empty, and our officials in the Tang Dynasty will lose their land. What should we do?"

"According to the rules, anyone who gives land but no land will give it two dou of millet acres!"

The emperor tried to get through, but he didn't pursue it. Cui Quan said softly.

"There is no land in Hunan, but Jingnan Prefecture and the three Lingnan Prefectures have a lot of land. Isn't this unfair to the officials in Hunan?"

Li Jia continued to throw bricks and attract jade.

"Your Majesty means to increase the discount on food?" Sun Zhao took charge of the Transportation Command and was always sensitive to money.

As soon as this statement was spoken, Cui Quan frowned instantly. He was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, which increased a lot of expenses, especially the loss of career and field, which was really a lot of them.

The second prime minister Zhao Cheng was silent. He was in charge of the Ministry of Personnel and did not comment on him.

“It’s right or not.”

Li Jia shook her head.

"Two dou per acre is indeed low, and it can be added to three dou."

"Your Majesty is a blessing for all officials!" Several prime ministers quickly stood up to thank them.

"This is just a trivial matter!" Li Jia shook her head, looked at the prime ministers, and said seriously:

"The salary of the court is both salary, property and miscellaneous materials. Some minor officials have not had many servants, and their property has been reduced due to natural disasters. Naturally, high-ranking officials do not need to worry, but the minor officials at the bottom are deeply harmed."

"Besides, for local officials, the land in various places is fertile, and the income of jobs and lands naturally varies. They are greedy for the upper county and hate the lower county. It is important to know that no matter how many people are, they are all in the Tang Dynasty. The officials of the former Tang Dynasty all admire the capital and are ashamed of the local area. Isn't this a lesson from the fall of the Tang Dynasty?"

Seeing the emperor analyzing the salary of officials in a simplified manner, even if he is idiotic, they know that the emperor is ready to attack the salary of officials.

"What Your Majesty said is exactly!" Wang Ning quickly spoke to cooperate with the emperor: "This time, there are cheap money and rice is expensive. In Zhenguan, Doumi rice is three cents, and Kaiyuan Tianbao is only ten cents. Now the imperial court has been harvesting year by year, but Doumi rice is still more than twenty cents, but the salary of all officials has not changed. Compared with Kaiyuan and Zhenguan, how many times it is?"

"Besides, the court issued a large number of food, carbon, juan, cloth, gold and silver utensils, and miscellaneous colors, which were numerous and useless for all officials, and it was a lot of chaos for the court. The Ministry of Revenue had long been overwhelmed, and the losses were difficult to measure, and it raised a lot of borers."

In summary, the things distributed are too messy, and the Ministry of Revenue is too busy to do it, and they have to use real money to purchase them. The officials are forced to send out some unusable things, which is not as real as the Lumi copper coins.

"In this way, it can be seen that the salary paid in the previous dynasty is no longer appropriate. So, what does the Wang Qing family mean?" Li Jia was surprised in cooperation and then asked.

The other couples lowered their heads and looked at each other, and were speechless one after another.

Well, this is another double act of the emperor, and these people came to witness it.

"Please follow the wishes of all officials and increase their salary." Wang Ning bowed his head and bowed.

"What do you guys mean?" Li Jia didn't forget several prime ministers after all.

"I'm going to discuss it!"

In this situation, what else can I do? I can only discuss it.

"Since that's the case, then make some additions and changes!"

Li Jia then smiled in line with the times and said, "In my opinion, the Lumi copper coins can be added, and the rest can be subtracted, so as to save the Ministry of Revenue from being too troublesome."
Chapter completed!
