As early as the Tang Dynasty, the poet Bai Juyi can be said to be a self-media person, but there was no Internet before. Bai Juyi could only earn his salary by writing the most popular poems at that time.
During the Tang Dezong period, Bai Juyi, a 32-year-old pupil, entered the official career. In his poem, he wrote: Fortunately, the Emperor of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was a scholar. ..... The salary is 6,000 yuan, and the monthly salary is more than enough ... Not long after, Bai Juyi was promoted, and he stayed to get a dinner, and his salary was also increased: two thousand yuan a month, and three hundred thousand yuan when he was ashamed.
After that, 54-year-old Bai Juyi made a secretariat in Suzhou, and he was rich. Bai Juyi was an old driver again. Therefore, the salary is relatively generous: 100,000 households are particularly expensive, and 2,000 stone roads dare to talk about poverty.
When Bai Juyi divided the company for the guests, he said: the salary was 890 thousand, and there was no empty month for giving and receiving, and the official was rewarded ... It can be seen that his income at that time was very considerable.
In his later years, Bai Juyi lived in seclusion in the mountains. There is also an old-age pension in the mansion. Yue: Life is seventy-five, and salary is five thousand. It can be seen that his pension is good.
Bai Juyi can be said to be "the first person to eat crabs", exposing his salary to everyone. I have to say that great poets are different from the media, and their salaries have been exposed to a high degree.
