The official statutory salary of a Governor is one hundred and fifty-five taels per year, supplemented by one hundred and fifty-five *huls* of official grain. One *hul* equals five *dous*, and one *dou* of rice weighs about fifteen jin, meaning he receives an additional ten thousand-plus jin of rice. Combined, his total annual compensation is probably less than three hundred taels.
