Valley Emperor

Vol 2 Chapter 1961: The Mistresses of the Tang Dynasty

Zhu Xueyan was born in Lady Garden and received a complete university education in Lady Garden, not only limited to cultural etiquette, but also subjects in history and politics.

It's not just them. In fact, except for Guozijian, all the universities in Datang are mainly science and engineering, but students in all departments are required to take several of these subjects, and they must study them when they are still freshmen, and they have been studying all the time. kind of four years.

The first choice is Guowen, that is, the traditional Four Books and Five Classics. It is not for you to write eight-part essays, but to learn traditional classics.

It is the six arts of the gentleman. There is no way. China is the country of etiquette, and etiquette has always been very important.

Then historical economy, including ancient history, modern history (the founding calendar of the Tang Dynasty), world history, the economy of the Tang Dynasty, and the economy of the Tang Dynasty and the world.

Then there's sociology, including ethics classes and the like.

For all the above-mentioned compulsory subjects, the teaching content is carefully selected and reviewed by the publicity department under Hantong, and the entire empire prints books and arranges the class hours.

And the countless content in the subject, no matter what it says on the surface, but the core is always only four words: loyalty to the emperor!

This is not only the case at the university level, but also in preparatory school, middle school, and elementary school.

Loyalty education has always run through the Datang education system.

Zhu Xueyan also received these educations in Lady Garden.

Leaving aside the education of loyalty to the emperor, even in other aspects, she is very good, not much worse than those men who have gone to college, and even some of them are stronger.

And this is very rare in the current Datang society.

Because of the influence of people's traditional concepts, women in Datang are generally at home with their husbands and children, and rarely work outside. Generally speaking, in a decent upper-class family, the male owner earns money to support the family. Whether it's doing business, being an official, or being a senior executive in a company, the male owner is responsible for making money anyway.

And the hostess is the husband and the child. Of course, this is just a common saying. In fact, these hostesses are actually very busy. They have to manage family affairs, such as managing servants, managing family and internal accounts, and then need to Frequently hold or participate in various banquets.

Therefore, women in the Tang Dynasty, especially those in the upper class, can generally receive education casually, but family education is generally the mainstay. There were almost no girls' schools in the Tang Dynasty in the early years, and it has gradually increased in the past ten years. In fact, most of the educational content of these girls' schools also copied the teaching content of Lady Garden.

How to put it, the female officials trained by the Lady Garden deal with the affairs of the court, while the ladies trained by the private girls' school handle the affairs of the aristocratic family.

And there's really no difference between the two!

It's all cumbersome and complicated!

Don't think that these family affairs are small and simple, but in fact these things are very complicated and difficult, and they are not much simpler than their husbands directly managing a business and an organization.

You have to know that many big families in the upper class have dozens of people, and the servants and other types of staff they employ are often hundreds or even more.

For example, the top powerful families in the Tang Dynasty, such as the noble families of the Duke and Uncle, have many housekeepers. , There are catering stewards, garden stewards, security stewards, etc., and there are even more employees below, there are hundreds of people.

But in fact, there are not many core clan members in the Bai family. Strictly speaking, they do not need so many servants, and in fact they can't use hundreds of people to take care of their daily life. The reason why they employ so many people is because Naturally, it's for pomp.

Also, to create jobs!

Many years ago, the Son of Heaven called out the phrase that enterprises should have a sense of social responsibility. Later, someone with a heart extended this statement to the gentry, saying that gentry should have a sense of social responsibility.

In terms of public opinion, it is generally advocated to guide local gentry to play an active role in society, such as building roads and bridges for their hometowns, creating jobs for local people, and so on.

Finally, it extends to noble families. I don’t know when it started. Nobles invited people not just for enjoyment or ostentation, but also for a sense of social responsibility.

Some aristocratic families in the middle of nowhere, even if life is not as good as before, most of them will not dismiss servants who have worked for them for many years.

In the words of Wu Shurong, a former imperial army lieutenant general and imperial viscount who was forced to sell many properties, but kept the family's manor and still employs dozens of servants, Wu Shurong, a former imperial army lieutenant general and imperial viscount: "We are all with us. Decades old and they are driven out, what will they do?"

After all, Datang people still care about loyalty, but Datang has abolished some servants and the like. Today's servants are just salary employees.

But even so, many aristocratic families do not invite people outside casually, and often select them carefully, choosing people from the descendants of their existing servants, or people in their hometown, and sign work contracts with them early on, even Funding them to go to school and stuff like that, that's for loyalty.

Because most of the servants in these noble families worked for them when they were very young. If they were fired at the age of 30 or 40, and then went to other families to apply for jobs, there is a high probability that no one would want them.

This social phenomenon is a complex social phenomenon that emerged from the Chinese traditional thinking and the rapid development of Datang in the past three decades.

It even has a certain relationship with the tax law, because there are provisions in the Datang tax law.

In some special cases, job creation can get tax incentives. For example, if a company or private person provides a job for disadvantaged groups such as the low-educated, the disabled, and the elderly, then certain tax incentives can be obtained.

In addition, high-income individuals, if they personally hire more people and create jobs, then the expenses of hiring these people can also be converted into the tax credit.

Those nobles are undoubtedly high-income earners. The annual personal income tax is very high. Although Datang’s personal tax is not strictly enforced and not common, it is obvious that high-income people such as nobles cannot escape. Under the supervision of the tax department, even these nobles would not play tax evasion for their own political reputation.

So everyone has to pay high personal income tax honestly.

but!

If he creates a certain number of jobs privately, then he can get a certain amount of tax credit.

Top-level families like the Bai family have a heavy tax burden~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If they use this money to pay taxes, they might as well use this money to hire more people to work for them.

What happened in the noble families of the Tang Dynasty will also happen in the Tang court, and there are more and more complicated things.

For example, Zhu Xueyan couldn't answer Elizabeth's question today.

Although Elizabeth entered the palace, it was still the kind of marriage. During the day, Queen Dong even met her in person.

But when she will be able to meet the Son of Heaven is unknown.

Because every day, hundreds of women in the Tang court have the same question as Elizabeth: When will they be able to see the Son of Heaven!

And the answer is cruel, most of them may never see each other in this lifetime!
