The Day of Giving Money

There is Fu Bi's house in Tongtufang, located next to the river. When Jin soldiers attacked, Fu Zhirou took his family south to take refuge, and the house had become a piece of weed. Wang Xiaoliu took the house for 1,500 jin and took it to Xuanfu Office. The money had been brought to Fu Zhirou, and Fu Zhirou also wrote to thank him.

Now that the place has been renovated, it is very lively as the residence of newly sent officials from the court.

After looking around on Jingxi Road, there were 58 officials left behind, all of which were temporarily arranged here. Some people brought their families with them, while others were alone. Every evening, the intersection was bustling.

Just after noon on that day, Zhao Si hurried back. As soon as he arrived at the door, he whispered: "I will get my salary today. Come and get the money back! I'll have a good meal tonight! Also, the Xuanfu Department heard that we have a lot of families and their salary is low, so I want to recruit people from our families!"

Li Qiaomu was sitting under the tree reading a book. After hearing this, he hurriedly asked, "What are we recruiting people to do? Are we a public official?"

Zhao Si shook his head repeatedly: "The Xuanfu Department can do anything under many industries."

After saying that, he hurried back to his home. He received the money and wanted to have a good meal tonight.

Shortly after these officials became Jinshi, they each went from ten to twenty-five stakes per month according to the court's salary. The court paid a salary of one cent, two cents of cash, and two cents of discounts. In addition, the price of goods soared, many people could not support their families. Wang Xiaoli found that all the money was not high under the rule, and their lives were very abundant. Even if they just lived in Luoyang City and had not done anything, their income would increase a lot.

Some Jinshi who traveled south to the Central Plains with their families, had a large family population, and their lives were even more difficult. They just believed that Wang Xiaoliu said he wanted to recruit people, but he just wanted to recruit his family to be public officials, and he was a little unwilling.

When his wife came out of the house, she saw Li Qiaomu still sitting reading a book, and couldn't help but say, "Official, you heard it, you paid your salary today. If you don't go and collect it quickly, why are you still sitting here? If you get the money back early, we will go buy meat to eat."

Li Qiaomu said: "Now everyone must be going to collect it, why bother to worry? If you take it later, the money will not run away."

The wife said, "I'll get the money back early and go buy some wine and meat to eat at night. I'm too late to get it, I'm afraid there's no good meat outside."

Li Qiaomu sighed, stood up, and tidied up his clothes. He was originally from Kaifeng, and the Jin people came south and took his family south. In the second year of Jianyan, he became a minor official. He heard that Wang Xiaoliu recruited people here, so he brought his family back. The family was nearly twenty, and Li Qiaomu had a salary of 16 jin a month. Even when he arrived in Luoyang, he was not well off. He was mostly vegetarian and rarely ate meat.

Just as he walked to the door, Li Hui quickly stepped up from behind and said to Li Qiaomu: "Go together, go together!"

Li Hui's family had a population of more than 20, and he was ill with Li Qiaomu. The two of them walked side by side and walked towards the Henan government office. When they reached the grain and materials yard where the salary was paid, they saw a long queue in front, with dozens of people huddled there.

Li Qiaomu said: "Go to queue up, we are at the last one. Why not drink a cup of tea at the tea shop next to you and come and get it after everyone has finished collecting it."

Li Hui said: "It's good! At home, the elderly urged, the wife urged, and the children urged, so what if they had to come? Always behind."

Li Qiaomu said: "What else is there behind? Xuanfu has no discounts here, and all the money is found. Will the merchants not accept the cash after they have collected the cash?"

While talking, the two walked towards the tea shop and sat inside and had a leisurely tea.

Zheng Gangzhong came over and saw Li Qiaomu and Li Hui in the tea shop, so he walked to them. He said, "Today, I will pay my salary, why are you drinking tea here?"

Li Hui said: "In the past, I was at the end of the line. It's better to drink a cup of tea."

Zheng Gangzhong smiled, called the servant, asked for a cup of tea, and asked for a few more fruits to accompany the two. He was a middle-aged family in Wuzhou. This time he came north, he was the only one and did not bring his family. After becoming a Jinshi, Zheng Gangzhong was appointed as the official, Wenlinlang and the judge of Wenzhou. Wenlinlang made 15 stagnant of money, and Wenzhou judge had twenty-six stones of field and four hectares of field land, plus rewards of silk, Luo, Mian and other people, and the income of field land was high among these people. Wang Xiaoliu, Lumi and rewards, and the income of field land was all converted into cash and distributed every month.

Looking at the sun setting in the west, fewer people are getting money in front of you.

Li Hui stood up and said to Zheng Gangzhong and Li Qiaomu: "In the end, let's go there. It's not dark, and you can still buy two kilograms of meat after you get the money."

Li Qiaomu said: "Yes, I mentioned it again and again before I went out, and I received the money to buy meat. It is not easy for this family to eat meat."

Zheng Gangzhong didn't speak, but just followed the two of them.

Although he did not bring his family to him, Zheng Gangzhong did not dare to spend money indiscriminately. He wanted to save the money and subsidize his family's income in the future.

When the government office sends money, two officials check the names, and the people from several banks next to them send money to people. If the officials under Wang Xiaoliu were all sent to the bank, the officials went to the bank to withdraw money with their passbooks. These people have not arranged official positions yet, so they can only find money.

They lined up to the front and received the money. Li Hui was waiting on the side and went back with Li Qiaomu and Zheng Gangzhong.

Li Hui said: "Brother Zheng, your family is not here, what should you do after you get the money?"

Zheng Gangzhong said: "I went to the bank to deposit it. Then I found a restaurant and I won't go home until I get drunk tonight."

Li Qiaomu sighed when she heard this: "The family is not here, so life is so easy! People like us, who have to go home quickly after receiving the money and hand it over to their wife. Then buy meat and fish, and have a good meal together."

Zheng Gangzhong said: "You can't say that. My family is not here, so I have to eat in a foreign land. I dare not spend this money, so I still have to save it."

As the few people spoke, they walked towards home. There was a sunset opposite, and they were lying on the hillside brightly.

When I returned to my residence, I heard noisy sounds in every house. Some people were clamoring to buy wine, while others were clamoring to buy meat, and each had their own ideas.

When Li Qiaomu and Li Hui came home, they were inevitably complained by their wife. However, after getting the money, the whole family smiled happily.

Zheng Gangzhong returned to his residence and sat for a while, feeling bored. Every family was lively, and he was the only one here, and no one spoke. After thinking about it, he walked out of the room and went outside the Yang Zhi and Yang Hua brothers' doors in Yongzhou, and whispered: "Are the Yang brothers at home?"

Yang Zhi came out of the house and bowed to Zheng Gangzhong: "Here is here. What's the matter with Brother Zheng?"

Zheng Gangzhong said: "I gave out the money today and every family is lively. We are all people who don't bring our families, so why not go out and drink."

Yang Zhi was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly called his younger brother Yang Hua out and went to the tavern with Zheng Gangzhong.
