Time travel rebellion, I'm serious

"As for our Han army, there are still positions such as neighborhood chiefs, security chiefs, village chiefs, and town chiefs, but the money and food issued are not much."

"The neighborhood chief's treatment is equal to that of a soldier, the security chief's treatment is equal to that of a squad leader, the village chief's treatment is equal to that of a squadron leader, and the town chief's treatment is equal to that of a group captain."

After hearing what Lu Shu said, everyone in the Cai family was shocked, not because of anything else, but because the treatment was so good.

For example, an ordinary craftsman earns one stone and five buckets of grain per month, which is equivalent to eighteen stones of grain in a year.

What kind of concept is this? It's equivalent to what a craftsman earns from one year's work, which is equivalent to the food harvested from five acres of land in a good year.

These grains could barely meet the needs of a family of five for a year. After all, the craftsmen themselves were provided with food by the Han army.

But if you add eight taels of refined salt, you can get six kilograms of refined salt a year, which is equivalent to 24 shi of grain.

In this case, just being a craftsman is enough to ensure that the family is well fed.

Of course, it is probably difficult to sell these refined salts. After all, most people have no access to it.

Even if there is, since these refined salts are distributed by the Han army, of course they are only for monitoring purposes.

It's just that Cai Bowen and other clan elders don't quite understand why these refined salts are not converted into food and distributed.

After all, if these refined salts were exchanged for grain, it would be equivalent to 24 shi, but if grain was distributed, even if it was [-] shi of grain, it would save a lot of money.

unless............

Cai Bowen and the elders of the Cai family suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.

They understood that since the Han Army distributed refined salt, it meant that the refined salt was not that valuable here, and it was even possible for the Han Army to mass-produce it.

And these things are not something they can peep into. They can only suppress the matter in their hearts and continue to think about it.

Among these supplies, ordinary craftsmen will have a piece of linen every season, which is not expensive. But one thing can be guaranteed, that is, everyone has clothes to wear.

After all, they have seen the world and know that there are many people in this world who cannot afford to wear clothes.

Not to mention that craftsmen are divided into many levels. According to the highest senior experts, the annual grain distribution is as high as 440 dan.

Such a large amount of food is only 560 shi short of the imperial court's two thousand shi of grain.

If we add 960 refined salt per year, it is equivalent to 840 shi of grain.

In addition, there are [-] pieces of silk in a year, which is equivalent to [-] shi of grain at most.

Based on this calculation, a senior expert's annual income is [-] stone grain.

In this case, what kind of salary is this? It’s just a salary!

Not only that, like soldiers, although they don’t have much money and food, it is enough for their families to live on.

Moreover, in comparison, although the money and food are small, the power is certainly not small.

The most important thing is that the Han army will take care of his family, raise his children, and relieve his worries.

Moreover, the Han army actually set up positions such as neighborhood chief, security chief, and village chief, and issued salaries. It was obvious that they wanted to take back the family's influence in the village and divide their rights.

According to the current system of the Han army, a village has between 25 and [-] households. There is one village chief, three to five security chiefs, and [-] to [-] neighbor chiefs.

Based on this calculation, a village has at least 19 officials and a maximum of 31 officials.

Like other professions, although Lu Shu did not go into details, it is assumed that the salary is quite high.

In particular, the Han army also regarded the village chief as an official and distributed food, which further weakened the clan relations between villages and strengthened village management.

Just in this way, a village's annual salary requires at least 150 shi of grain and 150 jin of refined salt; the maximum is 230 230 shi of grain and [-] [-] jin of refined salt.

With this calculation, everyone in the Cai family frowned.

Because they found that the expenses of the Han army were too great. Although they did not know how much their expenses were, they were definitely not small.

So, an elder of the Cai family asked: "In this case, the Han army's expenses are so huge, can it be supported?"

Lu Shu said: "Of course it is possible. After all, what the Han army paid was only grain, salt, and cloth, and no money was paid."

"Similarly, after our calculations, the Han army has now harvested 24 shi of grain this summer, and its annual income is expected to be no less than 45 shi of grain."

"And the food expenditure for these positions is about 11 dan per year. If the establishment is complete, the four territories will only be [-] dan."

"If you include expenses such as food management, it is now about 15 to 20 a year."

"So adding up all the personnel expenses, we can have a surplus of 14 shi of food in one year."

"Of course, this calculation is not correct, but what is certain is that the Han army has a surplus of money and food every year."

Yes, this is the reason why the Han army customized such a system, because this kind of expenditure is not directly issued money, but uses grain as salary.

As for refined salt, cloth and the like, it is not a problem for the Han army. What is issued every year plus what is used is only

Only one month’s production of refined salt.

If production is at full capacity, the output of today's salt fields in one year is enough to last 120 years.

Sprinkle water!

Therefore, there are some things that cannot be said, or that cannot be said thoroughly.

After all, the value of things issued today would be different if they were in different eras.

For example, in Liu Wu's previous life, there were thousands of soldiers, thousands of officials, and a large number of workers and teachers in the four territories of Hetu Mountain. The maximum salary paid a year was only 37 to 40 yuan.

this! The capitalists will cry when they hear this!

Of course, I still say this, the prices are naturally different in different times.

After all, if calculated in terms of silver, today's prices and wages in Hetu Mountain would have cost more than 8000 million yuan a year in Liu Wu's time.

Therefore, salary and wages are not calculated in this way.

But one thing is that now the Han army can guarantee that the people can live very well under its rule.

Um! theoretically.

If there is a natural disaster that reduces food production, or if there are corrupt officials, the people's lives will not be much better.

But no matter what, it’s just better than everyone else today.

The future, that is the way to live with a future.

As long as the times continue to progress, the food supply continues to increase, corrupt officials are severely punished, and land is annexed, as long as they are not lazy, at least they will not starve to death.

After all, in Liu Wu's original world, most of the changes in dynasties were caused by land annexation and people's lack of enough food to eat to the point where people starved to death.

Of course, this is also the case with dynasty changes in this world.

However, in fact, no matter which dynasty it was, the food produced on the land was enough to feed the people of the country.

But unfortunately, the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed.

There is no greater tragedy than this.

As the saying goes, the way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is excess damage; the way of man is to make up for the deficiency when there is not enough damage.

This is exactly the reason!

The greed of the human heart is ruthless and endless! ! !
