Valley Emperor

This money may be nothing to those powerful gentlemen, maybe it is the money they eat for a meal, but for ordinary people in this era, this is a huge sum of money.

The income of ordinary people in the contemporary Datang Empire is still relatively low. An ordinary female worker in a textile factory in Shanghai, who works fourteen hours a day, can only earn about two yuan a month.

Ordinary skilled workers earn only four or five yuan a month.

Ordinary company employees who do not have any skills to understand and read, the monthly income is also about four or five yuan, which is what Lu Zhenjiang did before.

Generally speaking, either an experienced and skilled master, or only a mid-level manager can earn more than ten yuan a month.

And some senior managers, the monthly salary can reach tens of yuan.

Although the above is only the salary of ordinary enterprises in Songjiang Prefecture, it cannot be used as an absolute reference, but it is enough to reflect the income level of the contemporary Datang Empire.

Take officials, for example, the income of officials in the Datang Empire is relatively high, but the income of officials in Datang is divided into several major parts, including grade wages, job wages, and local subsidies.

Among them, the rank salary is directly determined by the central government. However, for example, the lowest grade 9th rank officials, that is, the grassroots officials with the largest number of people in the Datang Empire, their rank salary is only more than two yuan per month.

The salary of the job is different according to the situation of each place. The central government gives a range, the local decides, and the central government finally approves. For example, the lowest-level patrol police, the salary of the job varies from place to place, and the range is generally more than one yuan to three yuan. not wait.

There are also some subsidies, some are local welfare subsidies, and some are subsidies for dangerous jobs. For example, the patrol police are more dangerous and need to carry out frequent arrest tasks, and there will be some subsidies for criminal patrol officers who face criminals directly.

To sum up, let’s take an example of a nine-grade criminal patrol police officer who was admitted, and after three years of service, was successfully promoted to one level, and worked in Shanghai. Add in more than one piece of dangerous subsidies and special subsidies in Shanghai, and his total income is a little more than eight yuan per month.

If it is not a patrol police officer, but an ordinary civilian official, a new officer who has just been assigned to the exam, has a rank of 9th rank, and is only doing ordinary work, then his monthly income will only be more than five yuan.

On the whole, the officials of the Datang Empire appear to be high-income groups on the surface, but the middle and senior officials who can earn legal high incomes are the middle and senior officials. However, the number of middle and senior officials in this part is relatively small. They are also the grass-roots officials of the eighth and ninth grades. These grass-roots officials were placed in the pre-Ming era and their definition was officials.

And their income is actually the same as that of ordinary people, at most it is slightly higher.

Of course, the official's income, even if it's just a rank nine patrolman, their income will not be limited to salary income, there will also be various underground incomes that are not known to outsiders.

Although the Inspectorate arrests countless corrupt officials every year, the problem of official management is a stubborn problem, and it cannot be completely managed. It can only be controlled to prevent the situation from getting too much worse. It is impossible to completely eliminate the problem of corruption.

Considering the current overall situation of the Tang Empire, it is unimaginable that an ordinary person, even an ordinary person who has read a book like Lu Zhenjiang, would earn tens of yuan a month if he does an ordinary job.

Only by doing some risky work can you get a higher income.

Although there are all kinds of huge risks to be a seafarer, and although this trip to sea may take as short as a few months, or as long as more than a year or even longer, Lu Zhenjiang is still willing because of this high income.

It's just that there are still relatively few scholars like Lu Zhenjiang who would rather risk their lives and become boring seamen on the way. Most scholars are more willing to stay in the country safely and do some decent work, although they are not rich. It's expensive, but it's also worry-free.

Lv Zhenjiang has been working for Weilan Trading Company for more than half a year. When the fleet arrived at some ports for rest, he was not like the other crew members. When he came ashore, he was looking for fun and getting drunk to release the pressure.

Although he occasionally relaxes, most of the money is deposited directly, and he plans to send some of the money home after returning to China, and the other part is saved by himself as capital.

If he did a careful calculation, he should be able to save up to two hundred yuan after returning to China. If he adds an indeterminate amount of bonuses, it may reach four or five hundred yuan.

At that time, if I take out a sum of money and send it home, I should be able to solve the second brother's marriage.

Although Lu Zhenjiang himself is not married yet, he is high-spirited. Because he has read books, ordinary peasant girls do not look down on them, and women with better conditions do not look down on Lu Zhenjiang, a half-hearted farmer from a peasant family. This has been delayed until now, making Mother Lu anxious.

However, Lu Zhenjiang himself was not in a hurry.

However, he is not in a hurry, but is in a hurry for his younger brother's marriage. His younger brother is at home now, and the age of marriage in his hometown is relatively early. He is seventeen years old this year. It is not too early, even if it is not immediately To get married, you also need to find a marriage first to settle down.

However, getting married costs money. In the past, the Lu family's family background was average. A few years ago, they had to pay off their debts and have to live, and they had to pay for their third brother to go to school. Life was tight, and there was spare money to save for the second brother to get married.

On the other hand, Lu Zhenjiang himself, if he is willing to put down his figure, even if the Lu family is still poor, but by virtue of his reputation as a scholar and a decent job as a clerk in the city, there are many women from ordinary families who are willing to marry. , especially many peasant women in the village, if they were allowed to marry Lu Zhenjiang, they would even be willing to pay a certain amount of dowry.

However, Lu Zhenjiang has high spirits and is unwilling to marry an ordinary peasant girl!

When I return to China, I will send back a sum of money. The second brother will have the money to get married, and the third brother will have the money to go to school.

After saving for a few more years, I might be able to support my third brother to go to middle school in the future.

His third brother, like Lu Zhenjiang, is talented in reading, but he is in liberal arts. Although he is good in science, he is still not at the level of getting a scholarship.

If such a liberal arts student wants to go to middle school, he has to pay at his own expense, and the cost of attending middle school at his own expense is huge, and it costs tens of yuan in a year. An ordinary family can't support it. In the past, Lu Zhenjiang was an ordinary student. When he was doing paperwork, his income was only tens of yuan a year, and it was just enough for his third brother to go to middle school without food or drink.

But is it possible to not eat or drink?

impossible!

But now as a seaman, his income is enough to support his family, and he even has a surplus to accumulate as capital.

After all, he doesn't plan to be a seaman all his life, nor does he plan to be an ordinary clerk all his life, he still wants to do something by himself.

Lu Zhenjiang thought about how much money he should send home after returning to China, how much money he could save, and how much money he could save before he could start a small business by himself.

Thinking about it, he felt more and more comfortable in the sunshine in South Africa.

When thinking about this, even when his colleagues asked him to wait for the boat to dock, and when they got on the boat together, although he smiled and agreed, he did these things with a certain degree.

After landing, he will go to relax like other colleagues, but at most he will find a good pub, have a good meal, and then find a clean and comfortable inn to sleep for a few days, of course, during the period It is also inevitable to go to the local green building to experience one or two.

But it is only limited to this. He will not be like other colleagues. During the mooring period at the port, he will stay in the green building or the casino almost every day. In just a few days, he can spend a month or even several The monthly salary was squandered.

After all, not all the crew members are like Lu Zhenjiang. They will save all the money they make and send them home or plan for the future. In fact, people like Lu Zhenjiang are a minority among the seamen.

Most of the contemporary crew, regardless of whether they are ordinary sailors or captains, although they have high incomes, they spend more!

Going to sea is a huge risk. No one can guarantee that you will be able to come back alive this time. In addition, after going to sea, you will stay on the ship for many years. Therefore, most of the crew members spend money when the ship enters the port and berths. .

These crew members are also the most popular guests in the major coastal ports. They are rich and generous. Those restaurants, green buildings, casinos and other places are the most welcome guests.

As for Lu Zhenjiang, this is not the case. He has a clear plan for the future!

He also doesn't plan to be a seaman for too long. At most, he will quit his job after a few years, and then use the saved capital to do other small businesses.

Lv Zhenjiang has his own life plan~www.wuxiaspot.com~ But this does not affect his getting along with his colleagues. After two days of boring waiting in the harbor, the Aquamarine was finally allowed to enter the dock berth.

The Aquamarine is a merchant ship, and it is also a merchant ship of a local trading company. Naturally, the berth that it berths is not the berth in the port area dedicated to foreign merchants, but the warehouse area wharf.

After docking, many crew members began to disembark in groups to have fun, but Lu Zhenjiang couldn't go out in style at the first time, because Lu Zhenjiang's job was to accompany the ship's document, and he needed to follow the company's leading manager. Registering and handing over, it took most of the day to complete my work.

The manager who led the team was also a subordinate. After finishing his work, he gave Lu Zhenjiang a vacation, but his vacation was not long. For so many goods, it is necessary to find buyers one by one. While selling the goods, it is also necessary to purchase local specialties or European goods to ensure that when returning to the voyage, the cabin is carrying the goods, rather than returning empty.
