In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world

Chapter 16 My Family Thank You Song Shenzong
After distributing the money, Xu Tianyuan said that he would send someone to send the box to the county government first, and hire a few carriages tomorrow to take Yiwang's family to Lin'an.

Coming out of the inner courtyard, Zhou Lai and Niu Bao were still outside. Seeing Zhao Yurui, Zhou Lai immediately posted it and said in a low voice, "Please give the little one a little time, the little one, go back and discuss it with your wife."

"It should be." Zhao Yurui patted him on the shoulder, and Zhou Lai basically agreed with him, otherwise he wouldn't call him the king, which was more or less intimate.

Zhao Yurui immediately asked, "How much do you earn in the county office?"

"The monthly salary of the county government is [-] Wen." Zhou Lai said, but he hesitated to speak.

Not only was the income of government servants in the Song Dynasty not high, but the income of government servants in previous dynasties was not high, but why do people still do it?Mainly for extra income.

The income of government servants in the Song Dynasty mainly relied on gray income. As long as a case occurred and they went on a business trip, they could get fees or bribes from it.

Usually, a yamen servant, as long as he has a dark face and a hard heart, he can mess around with more than thirty or forty years a year, and if he pays more filial piety to the superiors, he will definitely have a lot of money left over, which is far more than his salary.

However, Zhou Lai and Niu Bao were more reliable in their work, and they also received benefits, but they were not so cruel. This was one of the reasons why Zhao Yurui was willing to win them over.

The extra income of these two people is less than [-] guan a year, and their lives are relatively poor.

Zhao Yurui thought that when his father was a county lieutenant, his monthly salary was about six or seven pennies, and the family life was so-so.

"This king has just succeeded to the throne of Yi, so he can't open his mouth like a lion, and temporarily give the two a monthly salary of five guan."

"But I promise that as long as the two of you work hard, you will only increase every year in the future and will not decrease."

"If you decide to move this time, each will take fifty guan as the moving expenses."

Zhou Lai and Niu Bao were overjoyed, they quickly clasped their fists together and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, we will definitely convince my wife."

That night Xu Tianyuan hosted a banquet for Zhao Yurui, Liang Chengda and Yao Bizhi in the backyard of the county government.

At the banquet, Zhao Yurui asked Liang Chengda some precautions for being a vassal king, as well as his own benefits, and Liang Cheng naturally told them.

At this time, Zhao Yurui knew that it was really lucky for him to be the king of Yi. First of all, he would like to thank Shi Miyuan for his strong recommendation.

Unlike the Ming Dynasty, the Song Dynasty did not directly confer kings. The patriarchal conferring system was very strict, even harsh, and there were not a lot of patriarchal clans that were conferred kings until their death.

The imperial clans of the Song Dynasty generally conferred foreign officials first, then Jiedu envoys and governors;

In addition, in the Song Dynasty, there was no rule that descendants could be hereditary. For example, the ancestor of Zhao Yurui was Zhao Dezhao, the second son of the Taizu, and the original candidate for the crown prince.

Song Taizu had been emperor for more than ten years, but when Taizu died, as a candidate for the crown prince, poor Zhao Dezhao was not crowned king.

Because it cannot be hereditary, when it was passed to Zhao Yurui's lineage, they were already so poor, no doubt like the common people.

Zhao Yurui's father somehow got an official position as a Jiupin county captain. If Zhao Yurui hadn't been selected by Shi Miyuan, he would not even have a county captain in the future, and he might live the life of ordinary people all his life.

Then besides thanking Shi Miyuan, I also want to thank Song Shenzong.

In the third year of Yuanfeng (1080), Song Shenzong was grateful to his father Yingzong, who was adopted by Pu Anyi Wang Zhao Yunrang to Renzong Zhao Zhen as his heir, so he was granted the title of his living uncle, Huaikang Junjiedu Zhao Zonghui (the fourth son of Zhao Yunrang), the envoy of the State of Pu, was the successor King of Pu, and he specially ordered that the successor King Pu could inherit hereditary inheritance like the king of Anding County, without having to descend to inherit.This is the second royal family with hereditary qualifications (heir king level) in the Song Dynasty.

Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty was the first to establish a clan to inherit the Datong. Those who succeeded the Bensheng family as heir kings, and they could not downgrade the rules of succession.

The words "no need to descend to inherit" are very important. Without this creation, Zhao and Rui's normal way of conferring titles would be to first grant foreign officials, Jiedu envoys, governors, and then county and state princes, at least You have to be promoted for a few years to be the Duke of the State, and then that's the end of it. You have to be degraded. You are the heir of King Yi, but you can't be King Yi.

According to the system of the Song Dynasty, the King of Yi had a first rank, and [-] households in Shiyi, but Shiyi was an imaginary number. The main income and benefits depended on the "Food Real Seal", which was about [-]% of the Shiyi.

Yiwang Shishi sealed two thousand households, and the imperial court gave each household 25 cash per month.

That is to say, from now on, Zhao Yurui's monthly salary is fifty guan, and some small benefits are almost negligible, because this is the Southern Song Dynasty and not the Ming Dynasty.

This salary is quite good for ordinary people. It cost 75 yuan to buy a chicken the day before yesterday. According to this conversion, he can buy 660 six big hens a month, which is a proper high-income group.

But this treatment can't be compared with that of the clan of the Ming Dynasty.

He, Zhao Yurui, doesn't even have an acre of land now. According to the Song system, he would only have a 'job field' if he was dispatched by a real job, so his current income is about the same as that of an eighth-rank county magistrate.

It was dark and late in summer, and there was something to do tomorrow, and it wasn't long before a few people drank. When Zhao Yurui came out, it was not completely dark outside. He sighed at the gate of the station and said in his heart, I thank Song for the whole family. Shenzong, um, and Shi Miyuan.

Cousin Quan Yong was right outside the door, seeing Zhao Yurui immediately posted over with great joy: "Biao - King."

Then he straightened his chest with a loyal expression.

Quan Yong is also 15 years old. Because of his early development, he is much taller than Zhao and Rui, and he fought fiercely in the street since he was a child. He is quite brave, otherwise he would not have killed Qi Bin.

If he was a soldier with Zhao Yurui, Zhao Yurui would suffer.

Because of the Song system, soldiers were paid according to their stature, and the short ones might only get five hundred cash per month, while the tall ones could get more than one guan.

Zhao Yurui glanced at him, thinking of the scene where he ruthlessly killed Qi Bin, he was very happy, "Your sister Wang, call me cousin." Zhao Yurui laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "Go, come back!" Home."

Quan Yong grinned, feeling that his cousin has become the queen of Yi, so he doesn't have any airs yet, but for some reason recently, he often talks about adding your sister.

He followed behind his cousin: "Cousin, is my father going to Lin'an?"

"Go all, as long as he is willing, take all." Zhao Yurui thought to himself, there are many people who need to use around him, although uncle is a bit snobbish, but overall it is okay.

"Where's Mrs. Xu?" Quan Yong said again.

"..." Ordinarily she was just a widow, and there would be no such beauty in the future.

However, when Zhao and Rui first arrived in Lin'an, they still wanted to use some trustworthy people.

What's more, some young ladies nowadays may not be as tasteful as Xu's.

"Go to her house early tomorrow and ask if you want to go with us. If you want to, don't bring anything, just bring two clothes for a change of clothes."

"Good."

The two brothers returned home while talking, and as soon as they opened the door, a figure rushed out from inside.
