If there was a circle of friends in the Tang Dynasty, Bai Juyi must be the "weird" who posted his salary slips every day! From the school secretary's "moonlight" of 16,000, to Zuo Shiyi's "annual salary of 300,000," to Jiangzhou Sima's "salary reduction and transfer" - his salary slips link up the price turmoil of the Mid-Tang Dynasty, the shady palace and market, and the party disputes between Niu and Li. This novel takes you through Bai Juyi's humorous and self-deprecating "salary report" to take you through the workplace survival record of the Tang Dynasty: see how Bai Juyi exchanged poems for wine, used his salary to do charity, and used his salary slips to record his times. Yuan Zhen and Liu Yuxi guest-starred, and the secrets behind the creation of "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" and "Pipa Xing" were revealed. It turns out that this poet who "loved crying about poverty" had understood the true meaning of "salary is a number and life is poetry" a thousand years ago!
