As soon as they heard about the salary increase, Zheng Yu and Changsun Ce immediately looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.
"Your Highness, I am very satisfied with my current salary. There is no need for a salary increase..."
Zheng Yu is very satisfied with his current treatment. Writing articles in Dayan Weekly is what he is good at. There is not much pressure and he is even immersed in it.
He felt that as long as his salary could meet his family's daily expenses, it would be fine.
"right!"
Changsun Ce also replied: "I am just a bachelor. One person is full and the whole family is not hungry. It is good now. I don't need a salary increase or anything like that!"
Lin Yi looked at the two of them in surprise.
This is really the capitalist's favorite workman. He joked: "If I ask you two to pay for it...will you still do it?"
"Dry!"
Zheng Yu gritted his teeth and made a loud noise.
"We have to do it! I won't starve to death anyway!"
Changsun Ce hardly thought about it. For him, he was very lucky to be able to do such a meaningful thing.
It is better to have a salary.
No complaints without him.
"..."
Lin Yi was silent for a moment, patted the two of them on the shoulders, and said: "I am joking with you. From today on, the salary of everyone in Dayan Mansion will increase by fifty taels and one month on the original basis, and they can work at the same time." The time is reduced, and I have three days off a week. During the rest time, I can go to Taishan Academy for further study at any time..."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."
Zheng Yu and Chang Sun Ce's expressions changed and they turned pale.
Does His Highness the Prince no longer need them?
Dayan has no precedent of four days of work and three days of rest, which makes them feel abandoned. Only useless people have so much rest time.
They wish they were on duty for ten hours every day and only had two hours of rest.
Only those who work three hundred hours a month are qualified officials in the Dayan Residence.
"Too little?"
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment and said, "What about another twenty taels?"
"this……"
Zheng Yu and Changsun Ce looked at each other.
Adding twenty taels to the original salary, this salary is already very high.
But they could tell that if he didn't agree, His Royal Highness might not be happy.
"Twenty taels is just twenty taels. It's much less than fifty taels. From now on, I'll only sleep for one hour a day... Otherwise, I'll be sorry for His Highness the Crown Prince's high salary!" '
Zheng Yu made a decision in his mind.
But Lin also saw that he and Changsun Ce looked constipated again, so after thinking about it, it was more appropriate to add ten taels of silver.
"Then add ten taels of silver!" Lin Yi looked at the two of them.
"call!"
"call!"
Zheng Yu and Chang Sun Ce took a long breath, with smiles on their faces.
Zheng Yu said: "His Royal Highness, I have decided to stay in the official residence for a long time. There is no need to rest, otherwise I will be ashamed of His Highness the Crown Prince's cultivation!"
"Me too!"
Changsun Ce put down his abacus and said seriously: "I have calculated that I have to work three hundred and twenty hours a month to be worthy of the salary given by His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"???"
After Lin Yi heard what the two said, his whole scalp went numb.
Three hundred and twenty hours?
There are only thirty-sixty hours in a month. Do they have to work twenty hours a day?
This is the rhythm of death.
Do you need to work so hard for just a few taels of silver?
"no!"
Lin Yi said with a straight face, Dayan Weekly's official residence is not a sweatshop.
Besides, even if Zheng Yu and Changsun Ce are bachelors of letters, there is still a high probability of sudden death.
"If His Highness the Crown Prince does not agree, we will not accept the salary increase..." Zheng Yu said seriously.
"That's right!"
Changsun Ce nodded.
Lin also knew how stubborn these two guys were. No matter how much they said, it would be useless, so he pretended to be angry and left.
He didn't bother to say anything more, so he went back and issued the prince's decree to enforce it.
"Congratulations to Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Congratulations to Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Zheng Yu and Changsun Ce did not follow. As soon as Lin Yi left, he immersed himself in writing articles.
Lin Yi, who was standing outside the official residence of Dayan Weekly, was really shocked when he saw that the two of them quickly got into working mode again.
He didn't know what to say, so he sighed and left.
…
The next morning.
Zheng Yu and Changsun Ce were awakened by a ray of light in the early morning. They stretched and looked at the time.
"I slept for an hour and a half, and I'm in good spirits!"
Zheng Yu looked at Changsun Ce with a smile and said, "Do you feel full of energy every day?"
"Yes, His Highness the Crown Prince has great ambitions. As ministers, what we can do is to contribute to His Highness the Crown Prince's great ambitions. If the world is at peace, then it will be time to rest..."
Changsun Ce wanted to contribute to Lin Yi, which could be regarded as contributing to the people of the world.
He died after exhausting himself.
"Master Zheng!"
"Lord Changsun!"
Other officials from Dayan Weekly's official residence also arrived one after another and started the day's work, checking the printed movable type plates.
clatter!
Ta da~
"Master Zheng, Master Changsun..."
At this moment, the guards outside the official residence of Dayan Weekly ran in quickly and said to Zheng Yu and Changsun Ce: "The popular man next to the prince, Eunuch Mei, is here. He said he came with the prince's teaching order!"
The prince's decree is also the will.
It's just that the prince is not the emperor, so he can't give it in the form of a decree, but the meaning is similar.
Zheng Yu and Chang Sun Ce looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts.
Obviously...this is to increase the salary of ten taels of silver.
Now they only hope that His Highness the Crown Prince can also increase the salaries of other colleagues, otherwise... it will be difficult for them to face these colleagues.
Everyone has selfish motives.
I have nothing but contentment in my heart.
I feel dissatisfied when people have me and I don’t have them.
As long as people have it and I have it, that's okay...
soon.
Mei Chunguang came in with the prince's teaching order, and said loudly in front of Zheng Yu, Chang Sun Ce and others: "Because the Dayan Weekly is distributed smoothly, the officials of Dayan Weekly have played an important role. After discussion with Zheng Yu and Chang Sun Ce, , from now on, everyone’s salary will be increased by eighty taels of silver per month on the original basis!”
"At the same time, I am on duty four days a week and four hours a day..."
Wow!
Wow!
When everyone heard that their monthly salary had been increased by eighty taels, they were so shocked that they burst into an uproar.
"Congratulations!"
Mei Chunguang smiled slightly, handed the teaching order to Zheng Yu, and then retreated accompanied by several eunuchs.
There was silence in the official residence of Dayan Weekly.
for a long time.
Someone was moved and said, "Thank you, Master Zheng, thank you, Master Changsun!"
"Thank you Master Zheng, thank you Master Changsun!"
Others echoed.
Zheng Yu and Changsun Ce looked at the Crown Prince's decree with surprised expressions. It was obviously a condition that His Highness forced them to accept the salary increase.
This condition is very good, but Zheng Yu and Changsun Ce find it difficult to accept it.
"Master Zheng, I remember that His Highness the Crown Prince said he would add ten taels of silver? Why... add eighty taels of silver?"
Changsun Ce scratched his head with confusion on his face.
Zheng Yu thought for a while and said: "His Royal Highness first said it would be an increase of fifty taels, then he said it would be an increase of twenty taels, and finally he talked about ten taels..."
Changsun Ce took a deep breath, looked at Zheng Yu and said, "Master Zheng, do you think it could be... fifty taels plus twenty taels, and then add ten taels, so..."
Crackling!
Changsun Ce flipped the bead and nodded seriously: "Exactly eighty taels...completely correct!"
