If you live in the Tang Dynasty, "drifting north"-the most popular occupation in the Tang Dynasty.

After finally solving the basic problems in life, it's time for us to start working and plan our career development. As the saying goes, men are afraid of entering the wrong line, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong person. Especially in ancient times, once you entered an industry, it was basically a lifetime thing, and some of them might have a great influence on your descendants. How to choose?

As the old saying goes, everything is inferior and reading is high. Among the "scholars, agriculture, industry and commerce", The Scholars also ranks first. Needless to say, in ancient times, especially since the opening of the imperial examination system in the Sui Dynasty, studying-imperial examination-being an official was the most popular career development path, and there was no one. Let's talk about the specific salary and welfare benefits of a civil servant in the Tang Dynasty and how to become a civil servant.

In Datang, the government pays various salaries and benefits to civil servants, and the treatment is very good! Before the Anshi Rebellion, the dual-track system of annual salary and monthly salary was implemented: the annual salary was called "Mi Lu" and was paid once a year. Grain is distributed, usually rice, and in some places it is replaced by millet or other grain. Most of them are distributed after the autumn harvest and can be eaten once a year. How much do you want to send? This is related to your rank.

For example, as a junior civil servant at the bottom, you can get 52 stones of rice. A stone in the Tang Dynasty is equivalent to 53 Jin now, and you can get 2756 Jin, which is definitely enough for your family to eat for one year! And how much annual salary can the highest level of Zhengyipin get? 700 stones! This is the treatment of Beijing officials. If you are an official released abroad, you will lose about 10% on the basis of Beijing officials. After the annual salary is paid, there is also a "monthly salary". As the name implies, it is sent once a month. At the beginning, I sent some daily necessities such as meat, fruits and vegetables, pen and ink, and also sent money.

Later, everyone found it more convenient to send money, and they basically paid their monthly salary in the form of coins. How much can they get a month?

Similarly, there are differences between grades. The first-level official is 1 1 infiltrated money, and the official side of Jiupin Sesame is 1.5 infiltrated money. At that time, 1 infiltration money can buy about 10 meter, so you will have at least 15 meter of extra income a month. You see, this salary level is quite good. In addition, as an official of the Tang Dynasty, the government will also give you various welfare subsidies, such as a kind of welfare called "professional field". Refers to the field, which means that the court not only gives you money to send meals, but also gives you land! You can hire your own farmers to farm and become landlords in an instant. Let's see how many fields you can get at least.

Officials at the same level, Beijing officials will be treated worse. Who says Chang 'an has a lot of people and little land? For example, if you are also a second-class official, Beijing officials can get 1 0,000 mu of land, and foreign officials can get 1 0,200 mu; Grade nine Beijing officials can have 200 mu, and foreigners can have 250 mu. However, even 200 mu is an enviable welfare. You don't have to do anything. Waiting for rent at home is also a big income. According to the regulations of the imperial court, officials can collect the rent of up to 6 buckets of millet per acre a year. Such a sesame official can also have an annual income of 120 stone millet (equivalent to 72 stone rice).

In addition, when you become an official, there is another advantage, that is, the court will also provide you with free labor. This kind of treatment is called "strength class". The common people in the Tang Dynasty, as mature men, had to pay not only rent and taxes, but also hard labor. Which means working for the government for free. For example, guarding the home and standing guard for officials. Different levels of officials have different numbers of free labor. From the lowest 9 people to the highest 1 official 16 people. If the man who works hard for you doesn't want to come, you can also pay a sum of money to offset it. Generally, it is 200 yuan per person per month. So you can earn another 400 yuan in at least one month!

You said that in ancient times, even if you were a small official, as long as you didn't get into trouble, you really got a golden rice bowl. Even if you have no initiative, you can be a Mi Chong all your life. No wonder so many people suffer from cold window for ten years. For generations, I have been looking forward to a scholar in my family. I hope that once I pass the exam, carp yue longmen and pheasant will become phoenix, and I will get rid of the life of the poor completely.

After talking so much about the benefits of being an official, we still have to learn how to enter the official position through the imperial examination. The imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty are held once a year, usually in autumn, and are called "regular subjects", including more than 50 subjects such as scholar, Ming Jing, Jinshi, gentleman, Fa Ming, Zi Ming, Ming suan and so on. Among them, Mingjing and Jinshi are two main subjects. Jinshi examination is the most important and the main way to succeed.

There are generally two kinds of candidates. The first is called students, who are sent to Shangshu Province by government-run schools at all levels. They are all bureaucrats' children, so don't consider it if your family has no background. The second kind is called rural tribute, and the people can only choose through the examinations of different levels in each county, and finally take the examination of Shangshu Province. Students who want to take the exam, in addition to their grades, had better get a letter of recommendation from a famous and promising public official and scholar-bureaucrat. This famous teacher's recommendation letter is not small, and the court will give priority to the selection of scholars. Therefore, it is very important for readers to expand their contacts and improve their word of mouth. If you "don't listen to things outside the window", it will die.

Finally, if you are really a scholar, that is not enough. This is the first step. You have to retake the official examination before you can be awarded an official position. If you don't pass, you can either rely on the recommendation of powerful people to get an official position, or go to a local institution as an adjutant and wait to be recommended again. Han Yu took the second road. Unfortunately, I don't know why he failed the official department exam three times in a row, so he had to be an assistant to others and finally entered the official career.

Well, if you want to take a career path in the future, get ready quickly, make your knowledge solid, get to know more tutors, and get ready for the later exam selection. Good luck!
