Thunder, rain and dew are all the kindness of yours.

The emperor's grace is vast.

Reward ten thousand golds, hundreds of pieces of silk, and hundreds of acres of fertile land.

The emperor's imperial edict was directly put into the hands of the grass-roots Li Xiao, and no one in the Li family compound expected it.

Until Xue Wu's reminder, Li Xiao gave a thank-you gift to the envoy from the palace and sent them away for a long time, everyone was still standing there, not knowing how to react.

Wanniang looked blankly at the bright yellow silk orders offered in the incense hall of the main hall, and she seemed to be stupid.

"Wu Qiwei, Shaofu Temple Shi. Dad, is Sanlang the official official?"

Mr. Zhao leaned on a crutch and his lips trembled, saying to his daughter, "The Wuqiwei is a Xun, and he is considered to be the seventh rank, and the Shaofu Temple and the sixth rank."

"Sanlang really became an official?" Wanniang was surprised.

Xue Wu smiled and said, "My brother and sister, Sanlang has a background, but he is not officially an official. The honorary officials are only regarded as seventh rank and have no official duties. The official history of Shaofu Temple is a sixth rank, a foreign official who is not in the ninth rank, and is considered an official and has a ministry. However, the official history given to Sanlang by His Majesty is actually just a reward for Sanlang's loyalty. He does not need to go to Shaofu Temple to do business. In the future, he only needs to get his salary and do not have to do anything."

The officials in the Tang Dynasty were of the ninth rank system, and there was also a distinction between the top and bottom.

As a real seventh-rank military officer, Xue Wu explained the official system of the court to everyone in detail.

Officials in the Tang Dynasty first had ranks and then had positions, and some officials also had titles and honors. The ranks were official ranks, also called scattered ranks. Civil officials had a set of literary ranks and military officers had a set of martial ranks. Officials in the Tang Dynasty were all first established and then given positions, and first had ranks and then offered positions.

The rank is the first rank. The number of ranks you enjoy and the salary you receive is determined according to this official rank. However, the official position may be higher than this or lower than this.

For example, as the seventh-rank military officer of the Feiqi, Xue Wu was actually a sixth-rank lower-rank, and his actual position was a seventh-rank, and he was a high-ranking and low-ranking position. He also had honors, and honors were sixth-ranking. However, he did not have titles.

The official Li Xiao is now awarded is different. His officialdom is the sixth rank, but the sixth rank. In addition to the ninth rank, the officials of the Tang Dynasty also have a ninth rank, from the lowest medal to the lowest ninth rank, with a total of nine levels, but only the ninth rank, and there is no distinction between the top and bottom.

This nine-rank foreign official is all foreign official, and belongs to the ranks of officials, but has a low level and serves as officials, mainly low-level officials in various yamen of the central court.

The history of Shaofu Temple is also a minor official who is in charge of the documentary in Shaofu Temple. However, now the emperor does not need him to go to work and do things for the official Li Xiao, but he just deserves this name, gets a salary, and enjoys this treatment.

"Shaofu Temple is a yamen that the imperial court specializes in engineering and manufacturing. It is also a yamen with little power, but the oil and water are not bad. The official history has a monthly salary of 1,000 yuan and an annual salary of 25 stones."

The monthly salary is only 1,000 yuan, which sounds very consistent with the identity of a foreign official. However, many things cannot be looked at the surface. No matter what, the official history of the court is an official. Since he is an official, he has power. Especially for officials like the official history of the court, it can be said that there are still a lot of extra income.

In addition to the normal monthly salary and annual salary, there will definitely be a lot of benefits. You will get some bonuses and prizes during the holidays, and even the officials in the lower yamen will give you something.

"The imperial court's salary from the ninth rank is only fifteen jin per year, and the annual salary is fifteen jin." Xue Wu said that the salary from the ninth rank is twice as high as the salary. However, as a ninth rank is another advantage that he has a job land income.

The job field is distributed according to the grade, but in fact it does not require management by yourself. The government sends people to rent a rent, and then collects rent to officials every year, which is also a salary.

Li Xiao was not very interested in the duty of Shaofu Temple and Shi, who only received salary and did not work. He was more concerned about rewarding tens of thousands of gold.

His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty could not be so generous, would he reward him with tens of taels of gold?

Ten thousand taels of gold, one tael of gold can be worth at least eight thousand copper coins, and ten thousand taels of gold, which is a worry-free life.

Xue Wu laughed at Li Xiao's young idea twice.

"It's just a thousand gold, and Your Majesty also rewarded my father with 100,000 gold."

It turns out that the gold of ten thousand gold does not refer to gold, but to copper coins. If the word gold is added with yellow, gold generally refers specifically to valuable gold. If it is just gold, it generally refers to copper coins.

Ten thousand gold, that is, ten thousand copper coins, actually only ten ten cents of coins. Ten thousand gold, that is only one hundred cents of coins. For Xue Rengui, that is just a good war horse money.

"Oh! So that's how it is." Li Xiao's voice was filled with disappointment. He really thought the emperor suddenly felt faint. It turned out that he only had ten cents of money. He could make up ten cents of money for the money he sold cucumbers twice.

I just thought the emperor was generous, but now Li Xiao feels that the emperor is stingy.

A thousand gold coins are only ten coins, but it is not as valuable as a hundred silk. Silk and money are parallel, and both serve as monetary functions. The large-scale transactions in the Tang Dynasty were even mainly based on silk. However, the price of silk fluctuates, and the price of silk is linked to the price of grain, and has always been relatively stable.

The price of silk is now worth ten stones of rice, while a stone of japonica rice is 110 coins, and a piece of silk is 1,100 coins. A piece of silk is worth ten stones of rice, which is worth ten cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents

The land deeds for the 100 acres of land were also rewarded directly. When I got it, Dr. Zhao was surprised to find that this place was originally owned by the Li family.

"I didn't expect that the property would return to the original owner." Doctor Zhao was surprised. The Li family had a thousand acres of land that could not be brought back. Some of the land fell into the hands of officials, while others became official fields. This time, the emperor rewarded Li Xiao with a hundred acres of land. The decree arrived at Lantian, and the government directly pulled 100 acres of land from the official fields.

The officials who were in charge of business were also good at being a human being. Knowing that Li Xiao was very lucky now, he transferred the 100 acres of good land that originally belonged to the Li family to the Li family.

"Sanlang, my father also asked me to thank you. Thank you for your benefit, my family has also received a lot of rewards from His Majesty."

Li Xiao smiled and said that it would be a good idea to exchange for so many things with a secret recipe.

The silk and money are worth 120 guan, not to mention 100 acres of land, a military cavalry officer and a sixth-rank official who was named and received his salary.

No matter what, Li Xiao will be considered a famous person in the Nine Temples of Chang'an in the future. If he were just in a small place in Lanxi, he would be able to be free and easy.

"I really don't need to be a servant in Shaofu Temple?"

"No, that's a reward from Your Majesty. You don't have to work as a servant, you just need to receive your salary on time at home."

Li Xiao nodded with peace of mind. If he entered the yamen to be a sixth-rank mansion, it would probably not be easy.
