Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

During the Ming Dynasty, although giving things to officials belonged to the category of "speaking officials"...

In fact, it has become a supervisory department for the "six ministries".

For this official position in Shizhong, it is within the scope of its responsibilities to go up to refuting the emperor's imperial edict, recommending candidates for the cabinet ministers, and down to supervising hundreds of officials and detecting lawlessness.

Don't look at it, it's only seventh grade!

In the Ming Dynasty, which emphasized "using small to control large", this was a "hidden phase" used to check and balance the power of the cabinet.

Officials in the Ming Dynasty could not be judged by their rank.

After his name was called, Wu Ganlai stood up, bent down and said:

"Your Majesty, when choosing a word for the year name, it is required that the word means auspiciousness and the word means meaning.

To this day, the total number of era names is close to 700.

Among them, the words "Tian, ​​Da, Tai, Ying, Yuan, Zhong, Yong" are often used.

Especially the year names starting with the character "天" are the most common, with 66 in total.

Secondly, there are 30 people starting with the word "Jian";

There are 28 people whose first letter is "永":

There are 17 era names using the word "long";

There are 13 era names with the character "dragon" in them;

There are 11 year names each with the character "风" and "皇". "

Zhu Youjian was taken aback.

Weed!

This Nima...

It’s truly a “humanoid computer”…

Zhu Youjian was surprised, and the officials were also stunned.

Wu Ganlai, who is so humble, is so knowledgeable?

Weed!

miscalculated...

Wu Ganlai silently slapped Zhu Youjian in the face, and then sighed:

"Although I remember these things, when His Majesty asked me if I knew the names of every era, I really couldn't answer."

Wu Ganlai, who silently pretended to be a bitch...

In the end, he chose to cooperate with Zhu Youjian.

Although Wu Ganlai's answer was beyond Zhu Youjian's expectations, it just gave him something to talk about.

“We in China have a long history, and our ancestors are the Three Sovereigns and the Five Emperors.

Huangdi, the first ancestor of humanities, is also my spiritual belief in China.

Does Wu Qing know how many years have passed since the birth of the Yellow Emperor? "

Zhu Youjian's words made the courtiers lower their heads and start thinking.

Although I don’t know the reason why the emperor asked this, but what can be asked by the emperor at this juncture must be a major event that His Majesty wants to implement.

If you can make a mistake in this matter, it will be remembered in history forever!

The courtiers thought deeply and prepared to show off their talents when Wu Ganlai couldn't answer...

However - "Humanoid Computer" Wu Gan came and didn't give them a chance.

Wu Ganlai said immediately without even thinking about it:

"Your Majesty, based on the Yellow Emperor's Calendar, Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, "Emperor's Century" and "Huangji Jingshi" -

The Yellow Emperor succeeded to the throne 4342 years ago.

Assuming that the emperor succeeded to the throne at the age of 20, it would have been 4362 years ago. "

"good!"

Zhu Youjian clapped his hands and asked the ministers:

"Everyone, is there any error in Wu Qing's calculation?"

The ministers were silent.

Can't compare, can't compare...

They were still calculating how many reincarnations of the stems and branches had occurred during this period, and they had already blurted it out.

"Your Majesty, I have no objections."

All the ministers bent down and answered.

Zhu Youjian laughed:

"In this case, Wu Qing and all the ministers will discuss the matter of the year name, and just submit a memorial to me before the Yuanxiao Dynasty.

I intend to use Xuanyuan to mark the year and record it before the emperor's reign.

For example, last year was recorded as the year of Xuanyuan 360 and the 17th year of Chongzhen.

This year's year name is recorded in the second year of Xuanyuan 360, the first year of the new era.

Using Xuanyuan to mark the year shows the long history of China and unites the soul of China.

Gentlemen, do you have any objections? "

The emperor wears his hat so high, who dares to object?

Everyone responded in unison.

Zhu Youjian nodded and continued:

"The second thing I said——

I have informed some ministers before.

I want to change the way I pay my salary in the Ming Dynasty.

From now on, as an official, your salary will be divided into two types, one is the basic salary, and the other is the performance bonus. "

Zhu Youjian winked at Wang Chengen.

Wang Chengen took the eunuchs with him and unfolded a large five-foot-tall paper with the salary amounts of each grade clearly marked on it.

The ministers looked over one after another and saw that it read:

The annual salary for the first grade is 700 silver dollars, and the annual salary for the first grade is 650 silver dollars.

The following decreases in descending order. When reaching the seventh rank official, the annual salary is only 100 silver dollars.

Facing down, each grade decreases by 10 pieces.

By the time he was promoted to a ninth-grade official, he only had an annual salary of 50 coins.

As for officials, the number increases by 10 silver coins from 10 for ninth-grade officials to 180 silver coins for first-grade officials.

……

The ministers secretly calculated that the emperor's salary, based on today's exchange rate of silver dollars, was about three times higher than their previous normal official salary.

As for the officials...

There is not a single official present, so what does it have to do with them?

Besides, the officials didn’t get much in the first place...

Most of the officials present were loyal people who had followed Chongzhen and died for their country in history.

What's more, His Majesty's salary standards have indeed increased for them.

Immediately, everyone bent down to the ground and said in unison:

"All ministers rely on the Holy Judgment!"

Zhu Youjian smiled:

"Don't rush to agree. Let me first state that the standard for your salary is based on the highest official position. Each person will only receive one salary.

I have completely abolished the previous method of payment of salaries and wages for multiple positions simultaneously.

If you don't disagree, I will promulgate and implement this policy. "

Zhu Youjian looked around at everyone.

This rule does not affect lower-level officials, because usually those who hold multiple jobs are top bosses.

In fact, the officials would never object to Zhu Youjian's change.

For example, for a first-grade official, the original official salary is about 700 taels of silver.

These talents will have part-time jobs. If the salary of the part-time job is included, it will be calculated as double the salary, which is 1400 taels.

Zhu Youjian's new stipulation was to give seven hundred silver dollars.

The exchange ratio of silver dollars to silver remained at three to one.

Based on this calculation, the officials still took advantage.

For most people, they think that according to the new salary regulations, they will get more.

For Zhu Youjian, seven hundred silver dollars only cost 350 taels of silver.

……

Sure enough, just as Zhu Youjian guessed, the ministers had no objections.

Ming Dynasty's new salary policy was passed.

Zhu Youjian continued:

"Dear dear friends, the situation in the country has been changing in the Jiashen year.

Fortunately, you have not given up, and we, the monarchs and ministers, are of one mind to help our Ming Dynasty tide over the difficulties.

I am here to say thank you to you! "

Zhu Youjian stood up and solemnly bowed his hands to the officials.

"Your Majesty's words are serious. The ministers who take advantage of the emperor's salary should do their best for the emperor and his father.

These are all matters within the scope of ministers and should not be treated as courtesy by His Majesty. "

The ministers in the palace bowed down and paid homage.
