The long river of history is running endlessly, there are calm waves, there are also waves, let Xiaobian take you into history and understand history.
There are many people in China who want to be civil servants or teachers because these positions are not only well paid, but also have good benefits. For example, a teacher in a public school is generally paid about 220,000-250,000 yuan a month, which is about 20,000 a month, which is already a very generous salary for many occupations, and these teachers also enjoy winter and summer vacations and other holidays. And civil servants are good prospects, if they do well, there are opportunities for promotion, and the salary is not lower than that of teachers, so the two professions of civil servants and teachers in our country are more sought-after.
As early as the Republic of China period, these two professions were liked by people, and students studied diligently in order to be able to have a good way out. At that time, teachers and civil servants were very scarce, and the state attached great importance to the development of education, so the salaries of teachers were very high, and the purpose was to strengthen the quality level of the people. And civil servants need not say more, just like the officials and courtiers of the ancient dynasties, not only have power, but also have rich salaries, so what is the monthly salary of these civil servants? The monthly salary of the president of the Republic of China is 800 oceans, which is equivalent to about 50,000 yuan.
At that time, Chiang Kai-shek, as the president of the Republic of China, only had 800 oceans a month, and even if he worked several part-time jobs, he could only get one of his salaries. In 1933, a piece of ocean could buy 2 and a half catties of rice and 3 catties of beef, and according to the price at that time, if it was equivalent to RMB, a piece of ocean should be equal to 60 yuan we have now, so the president's salary was equal to forty-eight thousand yuan. In this way, the president's salary is actually not high, and Hu Shi's salary at that time was 2400 oceans, why was he higher than the president's salary?
The monthly salary of the president of the Republic of China is only 800 oceans? And Hu Shi has 2400 oceans, so what is Hu Shi's position? He was the ambassador of the Republic of China to the United States during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and according to the regulations, he had two parts of his salary to receive, the first was a basic salary of 1,000 oceans, and the second was a job subsidy of 1,400 oceans, so he could receive a salary of 2,400 oceans a month, which was converted into 120,000 yuan. There is a reason why Hu Shi has such a high salary, and everyone who becomes an ambassador to the United States has the right to enjoy such a high salary.
First of all, the salaries enjoyed by the president and vice president of the Republic of China will be relatively low, because the supply system is implemented for them, there is no expenditure in daily life, and they cannot use their own salaries, and the ambassador to the United States does not have this treatment. Second, the level of consumption in the United States at that time was much higher than that of our country, so in order not to make the Americans look down on our ambassador to the United States, we had to let him have a fairly high salary. The last point is that the Republic of China needed the economic and military support of the United States at that time, so Hu Shi took on this heavy responsibility, and part of his salary was also calculated as public relations expenses.
However, during the Republic of China period, the state vigorously developed education, and the salary of civil servants was not as high as that of teachers, and even an ordinary teacher in Guangzhou had a higher salary than that of the mayor. It can be seen how much the Republic of China attached importance to education at that time, and how popular the position of teacher was, until today, the position of teacher is still the direction chosen by many people, and teachers also bear the heavy responsibility of educating the talents of the motherland.
