It is becoming more and more difficult for young people to find a job that suits their hearts. On the one hand, there are fewer and fewer good jobs; On the other hand, the things that need to be paid attention to when looking for a job are becoming more and more complex, and the leave system, salary, and year-end bonus need to be understood in advance.
Among them, the year-end bonus is an easily overlooked but very important content. Prior to this, the year-end bonus was only a little more than 1 times the monthly salary, and the impact was not very large. Nowadays, many excellent companies have issued year-end bonuses of more than 3 times the monthly salary, so it should not be underestimated.
In fact, even if it is the best company at the moment, the year-end bonus it offers is still a small amount compared with the former Han Dynasty. It is rumored that the emperor of the Han Dynasty was very generous, and he gave ** a "year-end bonus" to pay them a year's salary, is this really the case?
Emperor of the Han Dynasty. I believe that as long as people have a certain understanding of history, when they see this viewpoint, they have already believed it seven or eight points.
If it was another dynasty, it would most likely be a rumor, but if it was put in the Han Dynasty, it was very likely to be true, or even excessive.
Because the Han Dynasty was the most generous and bestowed dynasty in the past dynasties, if they could choose, the scholars would definitely prefer to be officials in the Han Dynasty. According to historical records, the emperor of the Han Dynasty did give the so-called "year-end bonus" to his ministers, but at that time, it had a proper name called "Laci".
The so-called "wax gift" refers to the reward given by the emperor to the ministers on the wax day every year. For most people, the wax moon is very familiar to everyone, that is, December every year. So what day does the so-called wax day refer to?
In fact, the so-called 'Laba Day' is the eighth day of the lunar month, which is the Laba Festival that will be celebrated in many places. At this time of the year, the people will hold sacrifices and celebrations, and some places still retain the custom of drinking Laba porridge and eating Laba garlic.
Spring Festival. In ancient times, the Spring Festival was the most important festival of the year, and at this time, both dignitaries and ordinary people would celebrate it well. The wax moon before the Spring Festival is a key month to summarize the gains and losses of the year and prepare for the Spring Festival.
In order to make every ** live a comfortable year, the emperor of the Han Dynasty will reward rich wealth on the day of Laba. Of course, it is impossible for all ** to be treated equally, and the amount of wealth still depends on the rank of the official position and the level of the title.
There is such a record in the "Two Han Bowen":"General Laci, three public money of 200,000 yuan each, 200 catties of beef, 200 catties of japonica rice; 150,000 for special advancement, 100,000 for Qing, 50,000 for captains, 30,000 for scholars, and 20,000 ......for lieutenants, generals, and doctors”
Here can be a simple comparison, according to the record of the Book of the Later Han, the general and the third duke, such as the senior ** of the imperial court, their monthly income is generally about 17,500 yuan, that is, their total annual income is about 210,000 yuan.
The Book of the Later Han Dynasty and the reward given by the emperor to these people alone amounted to 200,000 yuan, plus 200 catties of beef and 200 catties of japonica rice, which was worth more than the sum of the annual income of the generals and the three dukes. It can be seen that it is definitely not an exaggeration to say that the year-end bonus of the Han Dynasty can top a year's income, but it is true.
According to the content of "The Two Han Dynasty Bowen", the ** of the imperial court has a lot of year-end bonuses regardless of the size of their official positions, and the number is basically about their annual salary.
Not only that, but when spring was approaching, the emperor of the Han Dynasty would also give his ministers some festive rewards and various in-kind rewards. Calculated in this way, the year-end bonus of the Han Dynasty is actually much more than the salary of a year.
This means that when calculating the income of the two Han people, it is necessary to multiply their income by two to be the data that really conforms to the facts.
Han dynasty**. The emperors of the Han Dynasty made a good start, and the rulers of later generations had to show more or less at the end of the year. Considering that the data of various countries in the ** period are quite different, here is only a list of the year-end bonuses of the Great Unification Dynasty.
After the fall of the Han Dynasty, the Western Jin Dynasty only existed for a short time, and China fell into a ** of nearly three hundred years. Therefore, it is not until the Sui and Tang dynasties that they can get the year-end bonus stably, and in this regard, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty has picked a lot of doors.
The year-end bonus of the Tang Dynasty can be divided into two parts, one is the physical reward given by the emperor to hundreds of officials when the Spring Festival is approaching. All the ** of this reward can be received, regardless of the official rank, the content is two copies of face fat, mouth grease, red snow, purple snow, gold flower and silver box, and gold prism box.
In other words, a large part of the "year-end bonus" of the Tang Dynasty is a variety of skin care and cosmetics given by the imperial court, which is very rare in all dynasties.
Tang dynasty**. Another part of the year-end bonus of Datang ** is the "public money" given by the imperial court, and then this part of the funds can be used by the local ** to lend to the people.
The largest part of the interest received will remain at the local level**, and will be divided equally among all levels** as a year-end reward. In fact, the rewards received by ordinary ** in this way are very limited, far less than those of the Han Dynasty.
Like the Han Dynasty, the Song Dynasty was also famous for its good treatment, not only with a very high salary, but also because of the principle of "not punishing the doctor", most of the civil officials of the Song Dynasty could die well, and there was basically no situation of being beheaded by the imperial court.
It is a pity that the emperors of the Song Dynasty were far less generous than the rulers of the Han Dynasty in terms of "year-end bonuses". Like the Tang Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty only gave rewards in kind, and it is reported that the ** of the first level of Zaifu can only get five sheep, five stone noodles, two stone rice and a few jars of wine at most.
Song dynasty**. Not to mention that compared with the 200,000 yuan of the Han Dynasty, it can't even compare with the accompanying 200 catties of beef and 200 japonica rice.
The Ming Dynasty after the Two Song Dynasty can be said to be the most critical of the great unified dynasties in the past dynasties. The ** of the Ming Dynasty was not only meager, but also had no so-called year-end bonus at all, so that many ordinary Beijing officials could not live their lives.
As the saying goes, "there are policies and countermeasures", the Beijing officials naturally will not let themselves starve to death, so they stretch out **to the locality**. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty soon appeared such bad habits as "Bing Jing" and "Tan Jing", which were bribes from local ** to Beijing officials.
Compared with the previous dynasties, the "year-end bonus" given by the Qing Dynasty was much more fancy, and it was changed to a beautifully shaped purse. The items in the purse are generally all kinds of gold and silver treasures, which seem to be very in line with the tone of the New Year, but in fact they are not of much value.
Qing Dynasty**. It can be seen that the "year-end bonus" issued by the rulers of the Han Dynasty is definitely the most generous among all dynasties, and other dynasties cannot be compared with it at all.
In fact, the Han Dynasty is not only more generous in terms of year-end bonuses, but also among the best in the treatment it gives, which can be reflected in many aspects.
According to the record of the Book of Han, the Han Dynasty pursued the "standard of ** and gave ** a very high salary." Judging from the purchasing power at that time, the monthly salary of the three princes was equivalent to the income of 47 ordinary people cultivating 100 acres of land; The second-level county guards also earn 32 farmers 100 acres of land per month.
After a comprehensive comparison, later historians found that the Han Dynasty's ** Yulu was only slightly lost to the economically developed Song and Song dynasties.
And the Han Dynasty not only gave the top ** a very high salary, but also the treatment of the middle and grassroots ** was also the top in the past dynasties. The distribution of the Han Dynasty included four forms: "rice, wheat, millet, and cloth", which could basically meet all the living needs of scholars.
Han dynasty**. It is reported that in addition to the high salaries and salaries, the Han Dynasty also gave them a lot of benefits, which relieved them of a lot of worries.
For example, most of the ** in the Han Dynasty can enjoy the high-quality residences provided by the imperial court, and they don't need to spend money to buy them themselves. However, the distribution of these residences is judged according to the ** class, and the luxury of large houses can only be enjoyed by the ** of the three public classes.
But for ordinary **, it is already very good to be able to have a high-quality residence with two entrances as soon as you enter Beijing. You must know that the housing prices in Chang'an are very high, and it will cost you a lot of money to buy a similar residence yourself.
In addition to residential benefits, the Han Dynasty's ** could also enjoy similar "medical reimbursement" services as they do today. First of all, they have the so-called "cure" benefit, which allows them to receive the services of the hospital when they are sick; Secondly, the royal family will also give medicine to the sick **, exempting them from the cost of purchasing medicines.
Han dynasty**. Finally, the ** of the Han Dynasty can also get a lot of in-kind rewards, such as during the festival, the imperial court will distribute a large amount of rice grain or cloth. Moreover, the ** in the capital can also receive the allowance provided by the emperor, which is definitely a lot of income in a year.
The most important thing is that the rulers of the Han Dynasty not only valued the material rewards for **, but also provided them with a lot of privileges, so that these people reaped spiritual satisfaction.
This approach is very successful, because according to Marlows's hierarchy of needs, when they have enough material wealth, they have to pursue spiritual rewards.
Han dynasty**. For example, the traffic rules of the Han Dynasty clearly stated that merchants could not enjoy the right to ride, which meant that in the entire Han Dynasty, only ** and nobles could ride in horse-drawn carriages. Because ordinary people have no money to buy horses and vehicles.
Secondly, the laws of the Han Dynasty also made strict regulations on many aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation, such as many clothes and decorations can only be used, and ordinary people and merchants are not allowed to wear and wear them at all.
Even the size of the dwelling is clearly defined, and civilians cannot trespass it. Therefore, the deep mansion compound in the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty was basically the exclusive property of ** and nobles.
Han dynasty**. Having said so much, many people must have recognized that the treatment of the Han Dynasty was among the best in all dynasties, whether it was material or spiritual wealth.
But in fact, there is a very important point that has not been mentioned, that is, the leisure life of the Han Dynasty. In fact, there are many ways to relax in all dynasties, but it is difficult for them to relax, because they have heavy work to complete and little time to rest.
For example, the ** in the Ming Dynasty initially had no rest time at all, and finally changed to a relaxed Xuanzong, and the holiday was only adjusted to two days off every month. The previous Tang and Song dynasties were a little better, but it was only every ten days off.
Emperor of the Han Dynasty. And the Han Dynasty has a very prominent advantage in this regard, that is, it provides them with a "rest and one day off every five days" system. Although it is not as good as the current weekend system, it is extremely generous compared to other feudal dynasties.
Not only that, but the Han Dynasty, like other dynasties, had a large number of statutory holidays, such as the summer solstice, winter solstice, Furi, Lichun Day, Wax Day and Spring Festival.
Finally, the management of the "leave system" in the Han Dynasty was not as strict as in the Ming Dynasty, and there were personal affairs that needed to be dealt with, and only need to apply to the superiors of the department to obtain approval.
Han dynasty**. In this way, the "year-end bonus" provided by the rulers of the Han Dynasty to ** is indeed extremely generous, not only with real monetary rewards, but also with a variety of physical rewards.
These contents add up to definitely more than a year's worth of money. Moreover, the Han Dynasty gave the second highest salary in the past dynasties, which shows that it has indeed achieved "a high salary".
In addition, the welfare system of the Han Dynasty is not discounted at all, whether it is the reward of real estate or "medical reimbursement". Not to mention, its "every five days off" system of rest and bath is even more enviable to future generations.
