周班爵祿之制，天子一位，公一位，侯一位，伯一位，子男同一位，凡五等也。君一位，卿一位，大夫一位，上士一位，中士一位，下士一位，凡六等。大國君十卿祿，卿祿四大夫，大夫倍上士，上士倍中士，中士倍下士，下士與庶人在官者同祿。次國君十卿祿，卿祿三大夫，大夫倍上士，上士倍中士，中士倍下士，下士與庶人在官者同祿。小國君十卿祿，卿祿二大夫，大夫倍上士，上士倍中士，中士倍下士，下士與庶人在官者同祿。皆祿足以代耕也。及乎周衰，諸侯惡其害己而去其籍。故其詳不可得而聞矣，茲蓋其略也。天子之三公之田視公侯，天子之卿視伯，天子之大夫視子男，天子之元士視附庸。諸侯之下士祿食九人，中士食十八人，上士食三十六人，下大夫食七十二人，卿食二百八十八人，君食二千八百八十人。次國之卿食二百一十六人，君食二千一百六十人。小國之卿食百四十四人，君食千四百四十人。次國之卿命於君者，亦如小國之卿。凡制農田百畝，百畝之分，上農夫食九人，其次食八人，其次食七人，其次食六人。下農夫食五人。庶人在官者，其祿以是為差。故諸侯之下士視上農夫，祿足以代耕也。 |
| | The system of ranks and emoluments in the Zhou dynasty was as follows: the Son of Heaven held one rank, a Gong (duke) held one rank, an Hou (marquis) held one rank, a Bo (viscount) held one rank, and Zi Nan (earl and lesser earl) shared one rank. Altogether there were five ranks. The ruler held one rank, the Qing (minister) held one rank, the Da Fu (great officer) held one rank, Shang Shi (upper official) held one rank, Zhong Shi (middle official) held one rank, Xia Shi (lower official) held one rank. Altogether there were six ranks. The ruler of a great state received the emoluments equivalent to ten Qing. A Qing received the emoluments of four Da Fu. A Da Fu's emoluments were double those of a Shang Shi, a Shang Shi's were double those of a Zhong Shi, and a Zhong Shi's were double those of an Xia Shi. The emoluments for an Xia Shi were equal to those of commoners serving in official positions. The ruler of a secondary state received the emoluments equal to ten Qing. A Qing's emoluments equaled those of three Da Fu. The Da Fu's were double that of a Shang Shi; a Shang Shi's, double that of a Zhong Shi; and a Zhong Shi's, double that of an Xia Shi. An Xia Shi received the same emoluments as commoners in official positions. The ruler of a small state received the emoluments corresponding to ten Qing. A Qing was entitled to the emoluments equivalent to two Da Fu. The Da Fu's were double that of a Shangshi, a Shangshi's were double those of Zhongshi, and a Zhongshi's were double an Xiaoshi's. An Xiaoshi received the same emoluments as ordinary people serving in official posts. In all cases, their emoluments were sufficient to replace farming. When the Zhou dynasty declined, feudal lords resented how this system harmed themselves and thus removed its records. Thus, the details cannot be fully known or heard; this is merely a general outline. The fields granted to the Son of Heaven's Three Dukes were equivalent to those of a Gong or Hou. The Son of Heaven's Qing received fields comparable to that of a Bo, his Da Fu corresponded to Zi Nan, and his Yuan Shi (junior official) was on par with an attached vassal state. The Xiaoshi of feudal lords received food for nine people, the Zhongshi for eighteen people, and the Shangshi for thirty-six people. The Xiaodaifu (lower Da Fu) was entitled to provisions for seventy-two people, a Qing for 288 people, and the ruler for 2,880 people. The Qing of a secondary state was entitled to food for 216 people, and the ruler received provisions for 2,160 people. The Qing of a small state was entitled to food for one hundred forty-four people, and the ruler received rations for 1,440 people. The Qing of a secondary state who was appointed by its ruler also held a status equivalent to that of the Qing in a small state. Generally, for one hundred mu of farmland, the division was as follows: an upper-level farmer could support nine people; the next level supported eight people, then seven, and finally six. A lower-level farmer supported five people. Commoners serving in government positions received emoluments based on these distinctions. Therefore, the Xiaoshi of a feudal lord was equivalent to an upper-level farmer; their emoluments were sufficient enough to replace farming.

| | The Han dynasty's system of emoluments and ranks ranged from Zhonger Shi to Bai Shi, each with its own distinctions. Emperor Xuan increased the salaries of all officials below the rank of Bai Shi by fifteen measures. In the second year of Yangshuo during Emperor Cheng's reign, ranks for officials at 800 Shi and 500 Shi were abolished. In the second year of Suaihe, salaries for officials below the rank of Sanbashi were increased again. All officials ranked at or above Erqianshi who retired due to old age received one-third of their former emoluments for life. Zhongerqianshi: Erqianshi: Bi Erqianshi: Qianshi: Bi Qianshi: Liu bai shi, Bi Liu Bashi: Sibashi: Bi Sibashi: Sanbashi: Bi Sanbashi: Erbashi: Bi Erbash: Bashi. From Sibashi to Erbash, these officials were considered senior magistrates. Below the rank of Bashi, there were ranks for assistants and clerks who received stipends in measures. These were considered minor officials.

| | In the Later Han dynasty, the monthly salary for a Da Jiangjun and the Three Gong was three hundred fifty hu. By the twenty-sixth year of Jianwu, salaries for all officials were increased. For those ranked Qianshi and above, their emoluments decreased compared to the old system in the Western capital; however, for those below Liu Bashi, they exceeded previous ranks. All who received emoluments received half in coin and half in grain. During the Yanping period, a regulation was established: Zhongerqianshi received Zhen Erqianshi: Bi Erqianshi: Qianshi: Liu Bashi: Sibashi: Sanbashi: Erbashi: Yibashi: All Zhongerqianshi had their cheng (deputy) ranked as Bi Qianshi; Zhen Erqianshi: the Cheng and Zhangshi were ranked at Liu Bashi; Bi Erqianshi: the Cheng was ranked as Bi Liu Bashi. For Ling and Xiang at Qianshi rank, their Cheng and Wei were all Sibashi; If they held Liu Bashi rank, then the Cheng and Wei would be ranked as Sanbashi. For Zhang or Xiang at Sibashi or Sanbashi ranks, their Cheng and Wei were both Erbashis. The Jicheng of the daughters of feudal lords all held a rank equivalent to Bi Sanbashi. All Weis in frontier garrisons and the heads of Jiaowei at various mausoleums were ranked as Erbashis. Those with established precedents did not have their ranks officially recorded. The Da Jiangjun and the Three Gong received annual gifts of twenty thousand coins each, two hundred jin of beef, and two hundred hu of geng rice. On the day of Lichun, envoys were sent to bestow silk: thirty pi for the Wen Guan Siku and Sikong, fifteen pi for the Jiuqing; sixty pi each for the Wu Guan Taiwei and Da Jiangjun; and thirty pi each for Zhijinwu and various Jiaowei. The amount given to military officials was double that of civil officials. In the eighth year of Jian'an during Emperor Xian's reign, gold and silk were bestowed upon the Three Gong and those below them. From then on, a grant was made every three years, which became an established system.

| | Since the Song dynasty, salaries and various provisions for local officials in states and commanderies have largely depended on what each region produced, with no fixed standard. In the first year of Yongchu, an edict was issued: for officials ranked above Erpin Qingguan who were entitled to a salary, if their parents or grandparents had reached seventy years of age, they would be given cash in hand. As for the land-based salaries of commanderies and counties, they were divided according to Mangzhong. Those who left office before this date would have their entire annual salary go to their predecessor; those leaving after this date would have it all go to their successor. At the end of Yuanjia, this system was revised again, with salaries calculated and distributed by month.

| | At the beginning of Tianjian in Emperor Wu's reign of the Liang dynasty, the Nine Ranks Ordinance was established. The emperor noted under each rank: The salary for the first rank was ten thousand shi; the second and third ranks were Zhong Erqianshi; the fourth and fifth ranks were Erqianshi. During the Hou Jing rebellion, state resources were often insufficient. Civil and military officials in the capital received only monthly grain rations; many held remote posts as magistrates of a commandery or county merely to collect their salaries. Yang, Xu and other major states were ranked higher than Lingban and Pumen. Ning, Gui and other small states were ranked equal to the Canjun class. Danyang Jun, Wu Jun, Kuaiji and other juns were ranked equally with the Taizi Zhanshi and Shangshu class. Gaoliang, Jinkang and other small juns were ranked only within the three classes. Large commanderies had six classes; small counties required two promotions to reach the first class. Since their ranks differed, they could not be fully recorded. The rice, silk, cloth, and raw silk provided as salaries for states, commanderies, and counties were transported to the local relay stations and granaries. If these supplies were allocated to cishi, shouling, and others, they would first be determined according to the number of civil and military personnel in their jurisdiction, then decided by imperial decree. All such salaries were generally distributed through the soldiers under their command to reach these officials' households, so the amount actually received by each family was small. All needs for the coming-of-age ceremonies, weddings, and other such events of various kings and princesses when they left their palace quarters to reside in their own mansions—including clothing, ornaments, as well as wine, rice, fish, salmon, fragrant oil, paper, candles, and similar items—were all provided by the government. Those who received additional salaries outside of their official posts were not given these supplies; however, once they resigned and returned to the capital, they would still be publicly provided for.

| | At the beginning of the Northern Wei dynasty, there was no system of salaries or ranks. It was not until the eighth year of Taihe during Emperor Xiaowen's reign that official salaries were first distributed, and all various merchants were dismissed in order to simplify civil administration. Each household was required to pay an additional three pi of silk and two hu nine dou of grain as salaries for government officials, with the amount of silk collected in advance being standardized at two pi per household. After the salary system was implemented, any official found guilty of embezzling even one pi of goods would be executed. Salaries were requested once every quarter, and thus officials received their stipends in varying amounts. By the tenth year, it was decided that civil officials should receive salaries based on household contributions.

Those serving as acting officials or on probation also received a reduction of one zhi. Officials who did not hold executive duties or were exempt from court attendance all received no salary. The method of distributing salaries for states, commanderies and counties was as follows: upon assuming office, cishi, shou, and ling would each receive the salary due for one quarter in advance. The cishi of a top-tier state received an annual salary of eight hundred pi, equal to that of the Sizhou Mu. Those ranked as middle-top and lower-top differed by fifty pi each. Middle-top was reduced from lower-top by one hundred pi; middle-middle and middle-lower also differed by fifty pi. Lower-top was reduced from middle-lower by one hundred pi; lower-middle and lower-lower also differed by fifty each.

Middle-top was reduced from the upper-lower rank by thirty pi; middle-middle and lower-middle ranks differed by five pi each. Lower-top was reduced from the middle-lower rank by twenty pi; lower-middle and lowest ranks differed by ten pi each. From the Changshi down to clerks in a state, and from the Chengxiang down to assistants in commanderies and counties, all also received their salaries in silk. In juns where there were Weis, the Wei's salary was half that of the Cheng. All these salaries were regularly provided from local contributions and levies. From the first rank down to those outside the official ranks but within the military merit grades, each was assigned attendants (shili). The first rank received up to thirty attendants, while those ranked below and in the military merit grades outside the official system were categorized by five, four, three, two, or one attendant per level. Those with busy duties received an additional rank; those in average positions maintained their original number of attendants; and those with quiet responsibilities were reduced by one level. For all cishi, shou, ling and officials below them in various states, the granting of Gan and Li attendants was subject to imperial decree. Their Gan were drawn from people within their jurisdiction. One Gan was required to contribute eighteen pi of silk, which the Gan himself would provide. As for Li, they were filled by Bai Zhi from their respective states, juns and counties.

Qing officials received two parts; Gu officials three parts; Gong officials four parts, each increasing by one part accordingly. For Gong, the total was rounded up to ten thousand shi. The nine zhi amounted to 120 shi; from eight zhi down to seven zhi, every two zhi were divided into six parts and reduced by one part each time. Both the second zhi and first zhi totaled forty shi. Whenever salaries were distributed, they depended on whether the year was abundant or lean. If one mou of land produced four fu of grain, it was considered an abundant year; in such years, only the standard salary (zheng) would be distributed. If one mou yielded three fu, it was a moderate year, and half of the salary would be granted in such years. If one mou produced two fu, it was considered a lean year; in such years only one part of the salary was distributed. In years with no harvest at all (fenghuang), salaries would not be distributed.

貞觀十五年，以府庫尚虛，敕在京諸司依舊置公廨，給錢充本，置令史、府史、胥士等，令迴易納利，以充官人俸。諫議大夫褚遂良上疏曰：「為理之本，在於擇人，不正其源，遂差千里。往古明經拜職，或四科辟召，必擇器任使，量才命官。然則市井子孫，不居官吏。國家制令，憲章三代，商賈之人，亦不居官位。陛下近許諸司令史捉公廨本錢，諸司取此色人，號為捉錢令史。不簡性識，寧論書藝，但令身能賈販，家足貲財，錄牒吏部，即依補擬。大率人捉五十貫以下，四十貫以上，任居市肆，恣其販易，每月納利四千，一年凡輸五萬，送利不違，年滿授職。然有國家者常笑漢代賣官，今開此路，頗類於彼。在京七十餘司，相率司別九人，更一二載後，年別即有六百餘人輸利受職。伏以陛下理致昇平，任賢為政，或太學高第，或諸州進士，皆策同片玉，經若懸河，守先聖之格言，慕昔賢之廉恥，拔十取五，量能授官，然犯禁違公，輒罹刑法。況乎捉錢令史，專主賈販，志意分毫之末，耳目廛肆之閒，輸錢於官，以獲品秩，荏苒年歲，國家能不使用之乎？此人習與性成，慣於求利，苟得無恥，豈蹈廉隅，使其居職，何向而可。將來之弊，宜絕本源。臣每周遊之閒，為國視聽，京師庶僚，爰及外官，異口同詞，咸言不便。」太宗納之，停諸司捉錢，依舊本府給月俸。 |
| | In the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, because state treasuries were still insufficient, an imperial edict was issued ordering all departments in the capital to resume the establishment of gongxie offices. Money was allocated as a base fund for these offices, and positions such as lingshi, fushi, and xushi were assigned to conduct commercial transactions and collect profits to support officials' salaries. Jianyi Dafu Chu Suiliang submitted a memorial stating: "The foundation of good governance lies in selecting the right people. If the source is not corrected, even small errors can lead to great differences." In ancient times, those who passed the jing exams and were appointed to official posts, or those selected through the four categories of recruitment, were always carefully chosen according to their abilities and assigned positions commensurate with their talents. However, descendants of common merchants did not hold official posts or serve as government officials. The state's regulations and decrees followed the precedents of the Three Dynasties; merchants and traders were also not allowed to hold official positions. Your Majesty recently permitted various departments to assign lingshi to manage gongxie funds, and these departments have since recruited such individuals, who are now known as "qianlingshi" (money-grabbing clerks). They are not selected for their character or knowledge, nor is any consideration given to literary skills; instead, they are chosen solely based on whether they can engage in commerce and whether their families possess sufficient wealth. Once registered with the Lushu, they are immediately appointed accordingly. Generally, each person is assigned a capital of no more than fifty guan and at least forty guan. They are allowed to operate in the market, freely engaging in trade, and must pay four thousand qian in profit per month. Over one year, they must submit a total of five wan qian. If they consistently deliver profits on time, after completing their term, they will be granted an official position. Yet those who govern a state often ridicule the Han dynasty's practice of selling official posts; now that this path is opened, it closely resembles that. There are more than seventy departments in the capital; each department recruits about nine individuals. After one or two years, this results in over six hundred people annually who pay profits and receive official positions. We humbly believe that Your Majesty has brought about a peaceful and prosperous era, governing by appointing virtuous officials. Some are top graduates of the Taixue, others are jinshi from various states; all possess talents as precious as jade fragments and knowledge flowing like rivers. They uphold the wise sayings of ancient sages and emulate the integrity and sense of shame of past worthies. Even when selecting ten candidates, only five are chosen based on their abilities to be assigned appropriate posts. Yet those who violate laws or act against public interests inevitably face legal punishment. How much more so for these qianlingshi, who are solely engaged in commercial activities. Their minds are focused on the smallest fractions of profit and their attention is drawn to the bustling markets. They pay money to the government in exchange for official ranks. As years pass by, can the state afford not to employ them? These people are habituated by nature and training; they have become accustomed to seeking profit. If they can obtain positions without shame, how could they possibly uphold integrity or moral restraint? Once placed in office, what direction could their conduct possibly take that would be acceptable? Future problems should be prevented by cutting off the root cause. As I travel and inspect on behalf of the state, observing both officials in the capital and those stationed outside, all common officers and even outlying officials speak with one voice, unanimously stating that this system is inconvenient." Emperor Taizong accepted his advice and halted the practice of departments collecting money from qianlingshi. Instead, salaries were once again provided monthly by their respective offices as before.

| | In the first year of Yonghui, all xushi positions were abolished and replaced by using rent, labor services, and transportation fees from various states to fund official salaries. Later, it was again ordered that a small portion of the people's annual tax money be collected and, as before, entrusted to wealthy households and officials such as dianzheng to manage. Interest would then be collected monthly to fund official stipends. Later still, the system was changed so that tax money itself was used directly, and interest collection was abolished.

| | The annual supply of stipend money for civil and military officials in the capital included translates as: The total amounted to 153,720 guan. For officials stationed outside the capital, funds were derived from gongxie farmland revenues and interest income. After covering public expenses, these funds were divided to cover monthly provisions. The amount was first determined by the chief official; for deputy officials such as Shaoyin, Changshi, Sima, and Cheng in various states and counties, their allocations were half that of the chief official. Yin, Changshi of Da Dudufu, Fududu, Biejia, and Banshi were treated as the two assistants in terms of rank, with their stipends adjusted according to the amount of zhitian they received. The salaries for canjun and bo shi were reduced by one-third compared to banshi, while those of zhu bu, xian wei, and xian cheng were also reduced by one-third. For those serving in the imperial court (neigongfeng) and lihang officials who did not hold their original posts, salaries, food allowances, Fangge, Shupu staff, and other benefits were all equal to those of regular officers. Those who held official positions could receive benefits from the higher-ranking post they held. If an official also held a position outside the capital, their stipend would be provided according to the standard for capital officials. All jianjiao and ban, shi, zhi officials who did not hold positions within or outside the capital were granted food allowances and other benefits according to the same standard as yuanyou guan treated as regular officers. If jianjiao or ban, shi, zhi officers were temporarily filling vacancies of regular posts, they would also receive additional expenses for miscellaneous use. Even if the zhitian was not normally allocated to a regular official, it would still be granted in these cases.

| | In ancient times, from ministers down to lower ranks, one was necessarily granted guei fields; a guei field amounted to fifty mu, and the remaining husbandmen received twenty-five mu. Therefore, the Rites of Kings says, "The public fields are used without taxation," "The guei field is exempt from taxation"—this is also the case. The general method for cultivating jie fields was that the total farmland in one li amounted to nine qing, which were distributed among eight men; thus each household received one qing. The remaining one qing was divided into eighty mu and evenly distributed among the eight households as public land, with each household receiving ten mu. The state borrowed the labor of commoners to cultivate it; whether good or bad harvests were obtained from this public land, and there was no longer any infringement upon the fields that people cultivated themselves. Hence, the Odes say: "Rain on my public field, then reaches my private land." The remaining twenty mu were divided so that two households shared five mu for use as dwellings. Between the Qin and Han dynasties, the system is not clearly known.

開元十年六月敕，所置職田，本非古法，爰自近制，是以因循。事有變通，應須刪改。其內外官所給職田地子，從今年九月以後，並宜停給。十八年六月，京官職田，特令準令給受，復月舊制。 |
| | In the sixth month of Kaiyuan tenth year (July 10, 722 AD), an imperial decree stated that the establishment of official fields was not in accordance with ancient regulations but originated from recent systems; therefore, it had been followed without change. Matters require flexibility and adjustment, so deletions and revisions are necessary. From this year's ninth month onward, the granting of official fields to both internal and external officials should be suspended entirely. In the sixth month of the eighteenth year (July 2, 730 AD), for official fields granted to officials in the capital, a special order was issued allowing them to be given and received according to regulations, restoring the previous system.
