Nowadays, with the development of the times, bank transfers are becoming more and more convenient, no matter how far apart, you only need to move your fingers, and you can turn over the amount of money thousands of miles away.
People who work in the unit on weekdays only need to wait for their wages to arrive as long as they have time every month.
In this convenient environment, people can't help but have a doubtIn ancient times, there were no banks, so how did those who were officials in all corners of the world receive their own money?
Isn't it that when you still need to send money, you have to go to the court to get it?
China's earliest Yulu system can be traced back to the Warring States Period, before the Warring States Period, under the rule of the Zhou Dynasty, the princes and ** all over the country adopted the Shiguan Shilu system.
That is, how much money you earn in your own jurisdiction, then the part that you hand over to Zhou Tianzi is all yours.
However, with the decline of the Zhou Dynasty becoming more and more obvious, and the rise of the landlord classThe slave society under the aristocracy was eventually outlawed by the feudal society ruled by the landlord class.
Since then,In order to maintain the unity of the country and consolidate its own power,The emperors of all dynasties have chosen to replace the Shiguan Shilu system with the Yulu systemIt can both encourage ** and establish prestige.
But many people have a misconceptionThat is, in ancient times, it was equivalent to wages, that is, simple moneyIn fact, this is not the case, and the forms of Yulu are quite rich.
During the Qin and Han dynasties, Yulu was mainly based on money and grainAccording to the different classes, there is also a difference in the amount of money received, and the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty can receive 1800 grains per year, that is, thousands of stone grains.
By the middle of the Qin Dynasty, Zhao Gao was in charge, and his Yulu reached an astonishing 10,000 stone grain.
During the Han Dynasty, in addition to the annual deserving, the emperor's reward was also counted as one of the incomes of hundreds of officials in the imperial court, which was equivalent to our holiday bonuses and red envelopes compared to modern times.
It's just that the emperor's hand is biggerUsually the rewards are gold and silver treasures, silk and horses, and the like.
In the early years of the Han Dynasty, in order to distinguish it from the pre-Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty issued a pure coin, but the later court found that this seemed to be inappropriateBecause the food on the market at that time was not controlled by the government**.
Therefore, the purchasing power of coins is not stableAs a result, this structure was soon changed to a half-money, half-grain approach.
Here I have to mention the hardships of the bottom of the feudal era, in the Qin and Han dynasties, the income gap between the dignitaries and the unknown officials was almost like a moat.
Not only that, this kind of bottom ** has no human rights, and in the distribution of money, the rule of half money and half food is implemented on themAll that was left was half of the money.
In addition, the emperor's reward did not fall on their heads at all, and the so-called entry benefits, that is, bedding, clothing, etc., were excluded by the emperor when making statistics, which was the characteristic of the society at that time.
In the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties periods, the form of distribution of Yulu changed again.
We all know that this period is the high incidence of wars in history, and the currency is of little significance to the ** of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern DynastiesTherefore, the money distributed by the imperial court was mainly based on food and goodsMoreover, compared with the Qin and Han dynasties, the Yulu system in the north and south of the Wei and Jin dynasties did not make any changes.
In the Sui and Tang dynasties,With the peace of the world, the form of Yulu has gradually become richerThe benefits have also been visibly increased.
Take the most prosperous Tang Dynasty as an example, the ** of the Tang Dynasty is composed of four parts, namelyOfficials, materials, fields and servants.
Guanlu and Yu are actually the grain and money of the Qin and Han dynasties, that is, Lu rice and money.
The vocational field is a field that the imperial court will issue to him according to his official position, and this field is at his disposal, whether it is to grow grain on it or rent it to others.
And Lu service is equivalent to the convenience provided by the imperial court, which is equivalent to our various manual services todayFor example, cooks, waiters, servants, etc.
In the Han Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Periods, the distribution of the Yu Lu has been repeatedly jumping between the annual and monthly salaries, but in general, it is still mostly the annual salaries.
Waited until the Tang Dynasty,With the convenience of transportation and the construction of the economic network, the emperor also announced that the annual salary would be changed to a monthly salary from now on.
In the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, it was more convenient to receive the ** Yulu, but the amount of the Yulu gradually decreased, especially in the Ming Dynasty, due to Lao Zhu's suspicions, so the Ming Dynasty's ** Yulu can be said to be pitifully low.
In addition, the Ming Dynasty grasped the ** very well, and many of them were miserableIt wasn't until the Qing Dynasty that the ** Yulu picked up.
After understanding the form of distribution in ancient times, how did the ancient ** receive their own wages?
Isn't it really necessary to cross most of the country and run to the imperial capital thousands of miles away?Apparently not.
As early as the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shi Huang realized that the country was too large and scattered, and it was difficult to distribute the problem of Yulu, in order to solve this problem,Qin Shi Huang ordered the establishment of special institutions and organizations in the counties and counties of each state to distribute the money, and according to their official positions, they organized and received the corresponding money.
Although this method is good, because the Qin Dynasty is a double distribution of money and grain, it is necessary to establish not only a money warehouse, but also a granaryThe cost is too high.
Therefore, this way of making money ushered in the improvement in the Tang DynastyIt was directly changed to a unified distribution of money, which effectively solves the problem of distribution and storage, after all, the Tang Dynasty is a month, and it really can't stand the toss.
However, there are still drawbacks to this way of receiving it, and some ** can't get it in person because of some things, so they directly missed the distribution of the month's money after it was too late.
To solve this problem,The Song Dynasty added a new thing called "Coupon Calendar" on the basis of the Tang Dynasty.
What is the use of this coupon calendar?To put it simply, it is a time-sensitive check, as long as you pick it up within the specified time, which is convenient and fast.
And the coupon calendar is also marked with various information of **, in order to prevent someone from stealing or picking up the coupon calendar of ** directly claiming it.
And, in order to take care of some ** who often report on their work, some ** are also allowed to receive a year or half a year, so that they don't have to run around frequently all the time, which can be said to be quite humane.
After that, because the silver taels were too cumbersome, in the Southern Song Dynasty, there was also the earliest paper currency "Jiaozi" in China.
By the time of the Ming Dynasty, "money villages" appeared all over the country.
As long as you have a silver ticket, you can use this silver ticket to withdraw money in the money bank under his name, and there is no need to go all the way to the place where the money is issued to withdraw money, which is very convenient for them to receive the money.
Where there is demand, there is motivation, and this sentence also applies to the distribution of stipends in the feudal era.
From copper coins to Jiaozi, from unified receipt to the birth of the money bank, through this simple phenomenon, we can see the thinking and efforts made by the ancients in the change of the times, which is really emotional.
The wheels of history are rolling away, and with the collapse of the feudal dynasty, there is also the Yulu system, which has long been eliminated by the times.
We all know very well how much of the efforts and wisdom of our ancestors were condensed in the transformation of the Yulu system in that eraHowever, given the limitations of history and institutions, these efforts will eventually become only a phantom of the past.
In the current era of technological advancement, whether it is transfer money or payroll, it has become easy and fast, which does not mean that we stop there, but it means that our technology will be more mature and cutting-edge.
Under the light of socialism, the efforts made by our generation will run through history, present and future.
