In the Qing Dynasty, there was such a group of people, whose status could be said to be above ten thousand people under one person, who were the emperor's brothers, or the emperor's uncles, uncles, or perhaps meritorious ministers, who were crowned kings. These people are Wang Ye, also known as Qing Wang.
Some princes were in high power, loyal and loyal, assisting the emperor. Some are plotting against each other and intending to rebel. But no matter what the situation, many people are curious, what is the annual income of the qing dynasty princes?
Today, Xiaobian will calculate for you how much money these Qing Kings of the Qing Dynasty are in a year. From the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the royal family was crowned prince, the emperor's brother was the king, and during the Wei and Jin dynasties, the prince was divided into two classes: Qing Wang and Junwang. King Qing was given the title of Crown Prince, Emperor's Brother, and The Crown Prince was initially the son of the Crown Prince, and later it was mostly used to divide the title of Jiedushi envoys and other military subjects, of course, civilian officials also received the title of County King.
In fact, in the eyes of the editor, these princes are like feudal landlords, and they are a model in the landlord class, they collect land rent from their fiefdoms, the living conditions are very good, but they do not have the right to leave their fiefs to move freely, if there is no approval from the emperor, even out of the city, sweep a tomb can not be done, unless the emperor summons into Beijing.
Qing Wang is the first class of the King in the Chinese title system, probably every Qing King is a step away from the throne before, and may be unwilling to put it on anyone's body, that is the right thing to say, let's talk about their salaries.
In fact, these people do not do anything, but the "civil servants" who do things are the emperor's ministers, but the ministers are working boys, not members of the royal family, once the front line starts a war, it is generally necessary to send one or two members of the royal family, get a false title to personally lead the troops, so as to boost morale, but it is a virtual title, and the salary of the king of the qing is really a lot.
At that time, the salary paid by the imperial court was divided into two kinds, one was Feng Yin, that is, the salary of zheng'er Bajing, which was real, white flowers and silver two. There is also a kind of rice called Lu rice, which mainly distributes some rice, wheat, sorghum, etc., which are not easy to spoil and can be stored food, note that pickles are not included.
Since the Shunzhi years, there have been clear regulations, "civil servants" salaries are standard, a Qing Wang's annual silver is 10,000 taels, Lu rice is 10,000 pots, what is this concept? Let's make a comparison, first of all, among the peers, a yipin master only offers one hundred and eighty taels of silver and one hundred and eighty pots of lu rice every year. One is the Qing Wang with a false title on his head, and the other is the prime minister who works hard every day, and the salary difference is more than 55 times, no wonder those old ministers tell the emperor that they want to beg for bones and return to their hometowns. At that time, there was no system of salary increases, a person from the age of twenty or thirty into the civil service, a lifetime of salary will not be raised, do not hurry to go to a small city, with the meager salary earned in the big city to buy a house to support the elderly, is not really going to starve to death in this post?
And a Qing king does not do anything, or by the protection of heavy soldiers on the battlefield, every year can get ten thousand two silver, we will compare it vertically, now the foot silver is 8.5 yuan a gram, but the degree of refining at that time may not reach such a high level, we may as well cut half of the price, count 4 yuan a gram, one or two is fifty grams, ten thousand two is half a million grams, that is the annual salary of two million, but what about rice? During the Kangxi Dynasty at that time, the price of rice and silver was equal, and the ten thousand pots were another two million, a landlord with an annual salary of 4 million yuan, and how many people in the Na clan had longed for unattainable numbers all their lives.
In fact, this is still the imperial court to give the Feng Lu, on the other hand, they themselves are rich landlord class, relying on all the fields in their hands, they can achieve a huge income every year, in addition to knowing that the corruption of the Qing Dynasty is famous, then as a prince, you may be able to have illegal huge income, because they are the emperor's relatives, as long as it is not too excessive, then they will turn a blind eye, really in ancient times, a person's birth determines a person's life.
A scholar born in the cold gate, even if he could change his fate at that time, no matter how excellent the performance in the imperial examination, was at most a middle-ranking person, which was really a high-ranking existence in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of these people, it may be the same as the little people, there is no difference, because their surname does not carry Ai Xinjueluo.
