Zhang Ximeng laughed again and said: "I mentioned another thing since the establishment of the school. We held the imperial examination in Yingtian at one time. We admitted hundreds of people at one time. In fact, this is to expand the ranks of officials. The so-called masters and staff are not allowed. If

Yamen at all levels really lack skilled manpower and can arrange formal positions. The master's staff are not in the officialdom, and they do not work in their positions. If someone hires a monk to be the master, does he need to ask Bodhisattva to protect him if something happens?

Asking the Dragon King for rain? Is this still an official from the Mu Shou side?"

"So there are a lot of secrets in the expenses of the staff, as well as some welcomes and gifts, and the exchange of favors. There is a lot of hidden things in this! During New Years and festivals, weddings and funerals, colleagues give a bag of tea or a box of snacks. This is also a human being.

It’s normal and cannot be considered excessive.”

Having said this, Zhang Ximeng paused for a moment before continuing: "But there are people who give out real money and give gifts lavishly. In order to welcome Shangguan, they eat hundreds of taels of silver for a meal. This is definitely not allowed! Therefore, things like job land and job money are also

No need to think about it..."

"But considering that some officials do have difficulty living, and some have high official positions, are old, and have many things to do, it is also reasonable to consider attaching some followers."

"In short, what I mean is to refer to the average income of the people. Considering that local expenses and official salaries are between two and five times the average income of the people, they will not be too poor to survive, but they will not be too high either.

It is so unattainable that even if you have all the wealth in the world, you cannot support the officials."

"Another thing is that as the war progresses, natural disasters and man-made disasters occur, food prices inevitably fluctuate. Every two or three years, the salary level must be reviewed and adjustments made. It cannot be decided all at once, and it cannot be changed again in the future.

.”

Zhang Ximeng smiled and said: "My lord, Prime Minister Li, these are some of my humble opinions. Please make your decision, lord."

All the officials looked at Zhang Ximeng with intense eyes at this moment.
