The ancient city wall of the Ming Dynasty.

In ancient times, filial piety was particularly important, and when parents died, those who were officials in the court needed to go home to worry, that is, to keep filial piety at home for three years.

Three years is not a short time, so few people really keep three years, and some keep filial piety for two years and one month, even if it is completed, 27 months of filial piety will be considered very filial.

So the ** people have been home for more than 2 years, such a long time, so do they have any income?

In the first month of the seventeenth year of Hongwu (1384), Zhu Yuanzhang issued an edict:

Those who have been in office for more than three years and have no stolen criminals will be paid a monthly and half-salary according to their grades, and will end at the final system. Those who have been in office for three years will also be paid for three months according to their grade to maintain their integrity.

That is to say, the ** who goes home to keep filial piety has a salary, and the ** with three to five years of service will be paid a full salary of three months; If you have worked for five years**, you can receive half of the salary every month. But all of this is premised on the fact that there is no record of embezzlement.

In the Ming Dynasty, the first was calculated in rice.

During the period of Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty, all the money was paid in rice, and sometimes it was converted into money, and the money was 1,000 and the banknote was always worth one stone of rice. The official treasure banknotes issued by the Ming Dynasty depreciated seriously, and in the later period, they were almost reduced to a piece of waste paper, so the issuance of banknotes was actually equivalent to reducing the ** money.

When issuing the money, the high ** of the money gave more money, because they could bear it, and like the nine products, from the nine products, for a long time, only food was issued. However, in the late Ming Dynasty, financial difficulties made even the nine products and the nine products from the nine products of the first money also issued money.

Therefore, in the late Ming Dynasty, the centrifugal departure from Germany was also related to Yulu.

If you go to work, you will have a vacation, so what about the vacation of the Ming Dynasty?

Historically, the Han Dynasty had a five-day holiday, and the Tang Dynasty had a ten-day holiday.

In the Ming Dynasty, the rest time was greatly reduced, and it was customized as the beginning of each month.

Rest on January and 15, only two days off in January. But not all ** is like this, the Shujishi of the Hanlin Academy, because it is the country's key training talent, has more holidays, one day off every five days.

At the same time, some festivals can also be rested, and there are 5 days off on New Year's Day every year. Winter Solstice Festival, 5 days off. In the seventh year of Yongle, Zhu Di ordered that the annual Lantern Festival would start on the 11th day of the first month and take a 10-day break.

Wanli Ye was compiled" recorded: Yongle room, Emperor Wen gave the lantern festival a ten-day holiday. Cover the above meta amusement. It is a peaceful event, so the holiday is better than New Year's Day. So far, I have taken it as an example. However, in the year of the inspection of foreign officials, the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the officials are not allowed to take vacations.

*If you get sick, you can take sick leave, but it is generally limited to three months, and if you exceed the deadline, you will stop paying for it.

For example, the edict of the third year of Chenghua said:

Internal and external civil and military**, sick for more than three months, food and living expenses.

The Ming Dynasty's ** corruption is a bit similar to our FZ record, once discovered, then a lot of treatment will be canceled.

At that time, there was a gift treatment.

The gift is that the emperor gave the first parents, ancestors and wives to the title, the living is called "Feng", and the dead are called "gifts". If the law is corrupted, then these granted benefits need to be fully recovered.

Any official who has taken bribes for personal gain is not allowed to apply; After the gift, but the person who commits the smuggling, and pursues it.

In order to allow them to be diligent in government and love the people, the imperial court also holds regular assessments, which directly determine the stay of the people.

In the first month of the eighteenth year of Hongwu (1385), the officials made a note and reported the latest assessment of the magistrates.

A total of 4,117 local envoys, political envoys, and state and county officials have been assessed, and 435 people are excellent, and these ** have been promoted; There are 2,897 qualified people, who are still in their original official positions; 471 people were unqualified, and they were all demoted; ** There are 71 people, all of whom are in prison; There were 143 people who were mediocre and incompetent, and they were dismissed from their posts and served as people.

It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang is strong in fighting corruption and kills people at every turn, and he stipulated in the "Brief Record of Awakening Corruption" that all those who are more than 60 taels will be beheaded for public display, but this is not necessarily the case in the actual implementation process.

In the twentieth year of Hongwu (1387), there was a son of a country who went to Renzhi County in Shaanxi, and soon someone accused him of collecting people's wealth, and he was caught and interrogated.

After Zhu Yuanzhang found out, he did not kill him, but said:

I miss my youth, not much to do, and I have returned to my post, so I have reformed my ways, done good deeds, and have a future to stand.

Another example is Zhai Shan**, the secretary of the ministry, who should be beheaded according to the law, his father came to intercede, Zhu Yuanzhang did not kill him in the end, but demoted him to the magistrate of Xuanhua Mansion in Nanning Prefecture.
