Lu Bu was stunned by Wei Guangde's question, and then spoke: "In the past, the adults who came to the Hanlin Academy had no salary, but they only received some subsidies from the department and the department and the department and the department and the department will transfer them. At that time, Lord Wei will just go to the court to receive it."

"No salary? How much subsidy is there?"

Wei Guangde asked curiously.

"The Ministry of Revenue gives one or two taels of silver to lamps and oil, the Ministry of Justice and Shuntian Mansion gives one or two taels of silver to pen and ink, and the Guanglu Temple subsidizes two and a half taels of silver, four and a half a month. Others, such as this house, are subsidies from the Ministry of Works, and they are also responsible for repairs. I was sent here, and the wages were allocated to the Ministry of War."

After hearing Lu Bu's words, Wei Guangde blinked and said, "I only earn four or five taels of silver every month."

Is this little money enough for yourself to eat and drink?

"That's just a little money?"

Wei Guangde still doesn't believe in it.

"There are quite a lot of treatments, which are similar to those of seventh-rank officials, and they are better than those of current officials. At least they didn't give you treasure money."

Lu Bu immediately said, "As far as I know, even if the editor receives only three taels of silver every month, as well as one stone of rice and some silk treasure banknotes, it is worth more than five taels of silver. What you receive is cash."

"This is a waste of labor and capital."

Wei Guangde yelled in his heart, no wonder the officials were corruption. According to this salary, what taels of silver the county magistrate would do every month?

After Lu Bu went out, Wei Guangde supported his left hand on the table and started to ponder.

I still want to buy a yard in the inner city, that's all.

What is the salary of this Ming Dynasty that is four taels of silver per month?

Wei Guangde had to reconsider buying a house. He only spent more than 2,000 taels of silver in his hand. He spent most of his time buying the yard, and only a few hundred taels left in his hand. How long can he stay in the capital?

Now Wei Guangde spends about dozens of taels a month, which does not include buying things and human relationships.

This year, the price of books is very high. Just the Taoist book, which has more than 40 volumes, dares to ask for a price of 100 taels of silver.

Well, if Wei Guangde bought a house in Beijing, the remaining money would be enough to buy a few more books.

I don’t know if my letter has arrived in Jiujiang?

Wei Guangde's letter from home was brought by a businessman who was back to Jiujiang. This is the function of the guild hall. As long as people in Jiujiang in the capital can find the guild hall. The guild hall will find the businessman who returned to his hometown and send a letter back.

I don’t know if my family will give me money, otherwise I wouldn’t dare to buy this house, so I have to keep the money for spare.

Although Wei Guangde estimated that his father would definitely prepare a sum of money for himself, he hadn't received it yet, so he didn't know how many, a few thousand taels or tens of thousands of taels.

If not, then you can only buy a house first. If not enough, you can borrow some first. If the family doesn't pay, you can only wait for Zhang Hongfu to send the interest on the release of the money to the capital, otherwise he would starve to death in the capital for the past three years.
