« A salary of 10.000 bulshel. »

  1. Bushel of what ? rice ? I'm not sure that rice was common under the Han dynasty (in north China)
  2. by month ? by year ?

To tell the truth, I don't think I've seen a source that explained the 10,000 bushels were of. (They were yearly salaries, to answer the second part of your question.) My guess is wheat. --Nlu (talk) 06:29, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
I suspected the same (wheat). I also suspected yearly, which seems more logic according to ancient cycle of life. So I go ahead and expand the article. 06:58, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
In fact the text already state "annual salary", I simply missed it. Yug 07:02, 23 April 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.122.97.165 (talk)
