spring and autumn officials

Ji Zhong verbally agreed to the official title of Qi Lu's young concubine, and Qi Lu suddenly became a man of the hour.

Thinking of him as a small official, he first successfully blocked the mouth of the little gentleman with a bowl of snail noodles, and then he was "favored" by Zheng Guoqing's official Ji Zhong. It is rare to think of not being famous!

Many people have very shallow vision and can only see the brilliance on the surface. They don't know that there is another layer of tricks in Ji Zhong's heart. After becoming a young concubine, he might become a celebrity in front of Ji Zhong in the future. If he doesn't flatter him now, when will he wait?

This early in the morning, Qi Lu came back late yesterday and was still asleep when he heard someone knocking on the door.

"Young bastard? Is the young bastard here?"

"Let's congratulate the young concubine!"

"Young bastard, are you here?"

Qi Lu woke up in a daze, stretched his waist, after applying the medicine last night, I don't know what kind of precious medicinal material it was, the wound on his back really healed a lot, and the pain didn't seem too much.

Qi Lu got up from the thatched couch, his hair was disheveled and he didn't comb it, just like this "unkempt", put on his robe casually, got up and went to open the door, saying: "Who is it?"

As soon as the door was opened, there were a few strangers standing outside, nodding and bowing, smiling very courteously.

Qi Lu didn't know them, so he looked up and down, and those strangers secretly looked at Qi Lu with scrutiny.

The unkempt man in front of him, with jet-black hair on his side, was dressed in rough clothes and didn't even fasten his belt. He had seduced the younger sister of the priest and won the favor of the priest. Qi Lv, who was a young bastard overnight...

Qi Lu has loose hair on the temples, black hair like ebony, black and straight, falling down, and Qi Lu's handsome appearance reveals coldness, coldness reveals delicacy, delicacy reveals handsomeness, matching with The disheveled hair made her look more gentle and lazy, which should have been extremely beautiful.

it should……

Why should it be?Because there was a wisp of straw rubbing against Qi Lu's lazy temples, and Qi Lu was completely imageless, yawning while wearing his belt.

If such "vulgar" actions were done by ordinary people, they would probably be disgusted to death, but Qi Lv felt that doing this was quite natural, not artificial, and naturally there was no official airs.

The eyeballs of the few people who came to flatter them frantically, thinking that the priest just took a fancy to such a man of character?It's simple and informal, so that's why it impressed the priest?

Qi Lu didn't know how far they had turned in their heads at this moment, and said, "Looking for me?"

Those few people came to their senses at this moment, bowed and said: "Young bastard, your nobleman forgets things so much, maybe you don't remember the little ministers!"

Qi Lu came from time travel, and he doesn't have the memory of his original owner, so naturally he doesn't remember them. These strangers are actually not strangers, they belong to the same "unit" as Qi Lu, and they all used to work in the dining room of Ji's family.

Later, because these people were plated with a layer of gold in the Jijia dining room, they were different from those who had worked in other people's dining rooms, so they were promoted to the Zheng Palace and became the cooks in the palace. scholar.

The cooks are also divided into three, six, and nine grades, and the sergeant is the first grade, that is, the head of the cook.

You must know that there were more than [-] people in the noble dining room in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the servant sergeant managed so many people. Although the servants were not high-ranking, their authority was still very large.

Sergeant Shan Fu was so humble and humble, he said with a smile: "Young bastard and noble people forget things too much. We are here to congratulate the young bastard. Who knows that the young bastard has now become a big celebrity in front of the priest? If he is promoted in the future, But don't forget brothers!"

Sergeant Shan Fu said, and immediately offered congratulatory gifts and respect, they came with gifts, congratulations, how could they be empty-handed?

The first batch of people who came to congratulate him were some cooks, and there was not much gold, silver and jewelry to give to Qi Lu, so someone simply brought a big white plucked goose!

The little dog was woken up. He dreamed that he was worshiped by the princes and was about to ascend the throne. He was dressed in black court clothes.Prince Lin is tall and tall, with a four-finger wide jade belt tightly binding his tall and lean waist, and the emperor Zhou's sword is attached to his waist. It echoed in Prince Lin's ears.

At the foot of the prince forest, princes and ministers from all over the world prostrated themselves, kneeling down one by one, shouting "invite the new emperor to ascend the throne". between.

Just when Prince Lin took one step at a time, holding a sword in his hand, walking steadily, and carrying the aura of a king, he stepped up the Yan Dynasty's shackles, which symbolized the status of the master...

"Young bastard, this is the respect of the minister, not a respect!"

"Young concubine, although the congratulatory gift from the minister is not handy, but the intention is sincere, please accept it with a smile, young concubine!"

"In the future, brothers, please ask the young bastard to support you more..."

A flattering laugh pulled Prince Lin out of his sweet dream, "Wow?" He rubbed his face with his small paw, and opened... a pair of dog eyes.

The little dog looked at the hypocritical and flattering cooks outside with disdain, and all the food they brought was worthless, and there was even a big white goose with its feathers plucked, which was too humble.

Seeing that they complimented him, Qi Lu didn't refuse. Who wouldn't listen to good words? Although Qi Lu knew that these words were untrue, it was useless if he didn't listen.

As for this gift...

Qi Lu smiled faintly, and said: "Everyone's kindness, if Lu doesn't accept it today, it will appear disrespectful, but entrusted with it, then... respect is worse than obedience."

The food that the cooks brought was not very naughty. A big plucked goose looked quite fresh; a pickled sour plum with sour fragrance; Wait, because these cooks are all working in the kitchen, so they bring more food.

Qi Lv didn't refuse, and he rushed to deliver the ones for nothing. Besides, the family happened to be short of food, and now he has a son. Although he is a dog son, he can be regarded as a family man, not alone. A bachelor who is not hungry to feed the whole family needs to store up some food, so he took all of them at once and said with a smile: "Thank you very much."

Seeing that Qi Lu took all the things as they were ordered, the cooks wished they could be more pleased than Qi Lu who received the gifts, and they thanked him in a dozen: "Young bastards don't dislike it, but they look down on the little minister, and it's too late for the little minister to be happy, you If you say thank you, you'll kill this little minister!"

Qi Lu took away the big white goose and some food, and immediately thought of a goose-related delicacy in his mind.After coming here, I only ate fried rice cakes, although they are delicious, but Qi Lu is a meat lover, and he doesn't like meat, how can he lack the taste of meat in his mouth?Now I get a fresh big goose, which happens to be delicious!

Qi Lu looked at the goose, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and said a little embarrassedly: "I wonder if I can bother you, because Lu is missing something."

"This..." The cooks looked at each other. They didn't know what Qi Lu lacked. They were afraid that he would open his mouth and say that he lacked food or money. Why are you being polite? What do you lack, just ask, as long as the minister has it, you just take it away!"

Qi Lu saw their strong men gritted their back teeth as if their wrists were broken, obviously very reluctant, but pretending to be generous, he couldn't help laughing, and said: "To tell the truth, Lulu lacks a blowing scorpion."

"橐, 橐龠?" Several cooks looked at each other and were stunned for a while.

What is 橐龠?Naturally, it is something that can be used between cooks and cooks. It is the blower made of leather in that era, and the high-end ones are made of cowhide. If it is not high-end, any leather will do.

The cooks never imagined that Qi Lu didn't want mountains of gold, mountains of silver, or mountains of grain, but only asked for a lollipop.

"Okay, okay!" Shanfu broke out in a cold sweat, waiting quietly to be ripped off by Qi Lu, who knew that Qi Lu only needed one scorpion, and it would be easy, so he hurriedly agreed twice: "One scorpion is not worth anything." , Xiao Chen will come here with the young bastard! Wait a moment, young bastard!"

After all, as if there were hot wheels under his feet, he immediately turned around and ran, that posture, as if he was in a hurry to attend a funeral!

There is actually a reason for the cooks to flatter Qi Lv so much. No matter how big the cook is, he is still a sergeant of the cook. He is locked in the kitchen and has no future.Although there was a prime minister Yi Yin in ancient times, he was born as a slave servant, so it can be seen that the servant can reach the sky in one step, but looking at the history of 5000 years, how many such Yi Yins have appeared?

Qi Lv is different, he has successfully jumped out of the circle of cooks, stepped into the official career, and became a young bastard. The road ahead is a flat road, and the future is limitless!

You must know that being an official in the Spring and Autumn Period was not as poor as being an official in the Ming Dynasty. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty had no prestige and could not control his ministers. To a large extent, it was because the salary of the Ming Dynasty was too low. The Spring and Autumn Period was very different. .

According to historical records, the salary in the Spring and Autumn Period was not money in the future, but food in the early days, and it was a food seal system. Simply put, it means that you are not given anything, but you are given land.

"The minister of a great country, the field of a journey, the field of a senior official, the field of a soldier." In vernacular, the first-class officials of the big vassal state will give you [-] hectares of land tax, while the lower ones will give you [-] hectares of land tax. Qingtian Fu.

The unit measurement in the Spring and Autumn Period was very confusing. Many countries are no longer available, but it can still be roughly converted. If it is calculated on the basis of 100 mu of land per hectare, then a gentleman like Ji Zhong can get a land tax of 5 mu of land.

The 5 mu of land was planted with ordinary millet, not to mention the millet that the nobles liked at that time, and it was considered the lowest yield per mu of land, calculated at 300 catties.It is equivalent to the current market price of millet, which is about 3 yuan on average.Then the annual millet output value of 5 mu of land is about 4500 million yuan!

That is to say, the annual salary of a great minister like Ji Zhong is calculated at the current price, and the most conservative starting point is 4500 million yuan. This is not counting the various subsidies of the doctor. Subsidies and subsidies, of course, there are all kinds of "oil and water", it is impossible to count.

It can be seen that the huge gap between the rich and the poor in the Spring and Autumn Period really corresponds to that sentence-poverty inhibits my imagination...

No wonder these cooks wanted to curry favor with Qi Lu right away, and while Qi Lu had just started as a young bastard, they quickly stuffed some good things. If Qi Lu really made it to the sky in the future, he would still have to queue up if he wanted to curry favor.

Qi Lv watched those cooks running away in a hurry, shook his head, and closed the creaking wooden door that would fall off at the touch of a touch. The little dirt dog was sticking out its buttocks and wagging its antenna-like tail very quickly. , a pair of black puppy eyes full of disgust, confronting dead goose eyes.

Qi Lu rubbed the little dog's head, smiled and said, "Baby, Dad will cook meat for you later."
