It's about to be the New Year, have you given out the year-end bonus?
But today we don't talk about modern times, but go to ancient times to see, the ancients worked all year round, can they get the year-end bonus, and who will give the year-end bonus?
In fact, this question is not difficult to answer, obviously, not everyone can get the year-end bonus, in that ancient society with extremely low productivity, there are really very few people who can get the year-end bonus.
The so-called three religions are Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, and the nine streams refer to the nine classes of ancient Chinese society, including scholars, farmers, industry, commerce, learning, poetry, calligraphy, painting and medicine, which also reflects the ancient social hierarchy.
In ancient times, most people belonged to farmers, which is not difficult to understand, in ancient times, limited by conditions, the basic policy is "heavy agriculture and suppression of business", after all, the productivity is relatively low, if there are fewer people farming, then if there is a natural disaster and man-made disaster, then how many people have to starve to death, so most people are no year-end bonus, you say you are a farmer, who will give you a year-end bonus.
So what kind of talent will have a year-end bonus?Generally civil servants, that is, those who are officials, at the end of the year, by the emperor according to this year's harvest according to the grade of reward, let's take a look at how the various dynasties in Chinese history issued year-end bonuses.
The relatively comprehensive and complete record of China's history began in the Han Dynasty, represented by Sima Qian's "Historical Records". Therefore, from the literature, we can know that the earliest year-end bonus is in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there is a record in the "Han Guanyi", called "La Ci", the so-called La Ci is the emperor's reward to the civil and military officials on the day of La every year, and different levels of ** have different numbers of La Ci.
During the Han Dynasty, the overall salary was divided into two parts, and the monthly salary and the wax gift at the end of the year were almost half each. For example, at the end of the year, the general and the three princes each rewarded 200,000 yuan, 200 catties of beef, and 200 buckets of japonica rice. The reward of the special marquis is 150,000 yuan, the secretary is 100,000 yuan, the lieutenant is 50,000 yuan, and the scholar is 30,000 yuan, which is such a amount given by them, which is basically the same as their salary level, so the salary of state civil servants in this period is still relatively high.
And in the Northern Song Dynasty, the year-end bonus is not so thick, but it can't stand the high wages of others, take Bao Zheng in Kaifeng to say, what is the value of the daily salary, public money, value of the field, travel expenses and other large and small subsidies, together there are 10,000 yuan a year, and the current RMB is also five or six million, do you envy it?Therefore, the year-end bonus at the end of the year is not enough, after all, you usually get a lot. At that time, the senior **, such as the prime minister, the privy envoy level, the year-end bonus was only 5 sheep, 5 stone noodles, 2 stone rice and 2 jars of rice wine.
By the time of the Ming Dynasty, everyone also knew that they were poor, even the emperor's family had no money, and the wages were outrageously low, let alone how much the emperor could pay year-end bonuses.
So in the future, how did you pay the year-end bonus when you arrived in the Qing Dynasty?The emperor of the Qing Dynasty was still a chicken thief, he did not send you any gold, silver and jewelry, nor any cattle, sheep and pork, but rewarded the ministers with a safe purse, a purseYes, you read that right, it's a purse with years of peace embroidered on it.
What the hell is this?It's actually the wallet of the past, you can say that the emperor doesn't deduct it. You say he is not worth much, after all, it is a gift from the emperor, it has a certain value, after all, it is produced by the palace, and it belongs to high-end handicrafts, but if you want to say how much it is worth, it is not easy to say, you say that he can change a car, or can it be worth a house, or can it be worth a cow?I can't say anything about this, I can only think about it from the perspective of honor, because if you can get the emperor's reward, your family should generally not be bad for money.
After waiting for **, there are no emperor's ministers, but there is still an organization and **, so the treatment of ** will definitely not be bad. As for ordinary workers, if you meet a good owner, pay attention to some money according to the actual situation, wrap a small red envelope or something, and meet a stingy ghost, then it would be good to be able to manage a good meal as a year-end bonus. After all, at that time, productivity was low and the economy was not developed, so it was a good owner to be able to manage a full meal. When encountering a pick, it would be good to see a little oil flower in the bowl during the New Year's time.
In ancient times, the distribution of year-end bonuses largely depended on the emperor's financial resources and attitude towards his subordinates. If the emperor is wealthy and generous to his subordinates, then the year-end bonus may be a little more generous, and vice versa.
In addition, the ancient year-end bonus also has its special significance. In feudal society, the year-end bonus was the emperor's recognition and reward for the loyalty and talent of his courtiers, and it was also one of the means to motivate his courtiers to continue to serve the royal family. At the same time, the year-end bonus is also a symbol of social status, and people who can receive a generous year-end bonus are often regarded as a symbol of success and status.
Now that you know something about the year-end bonuses of the ancients, what are your thoughts to discuss together.
