week Zuoren 1941 to February 9, 1943, he served as the supervisor of the General Administration of Education of the pseudo-North China Government Affairs Commission for two years, one month and nine days.
htmlZhou Zuoren's standing committee member of the pseudo-North China Government and supervisor of the General Administration of Education is a special official of the Wang pseudo-Nanjing government. The monthly salary of the special official before 1941 was 800 yuan, which was 200 yuan higher than that of the university president at that time (the maximum monthly salary of 600 yuan). The monthly salary of the pseudo-North China government committee member has been 1,200 yuan since January 1941. The public expenses of members and the chiefs of the General Administration are RMB 3,000 per month. Zhou Zuoren received this amount of public expenses - "Supervisor of the Standing Committee and General Administration of Education, 3,000 yuan." It is displayed monthly in the archive.
Since January 1943, the public expenses of members of the pseudo-North China Government Affairs Committee and the chiefs of the General Administration have been increased to RMB 5,000 per month. The file shows that "supervised by the General Administration of Education (weekly supervision) is 5,000 yuan."

1941-1942, Zhou Zuoren's monthly salary and public expense income was 4,200 yuan, the monthly salary and public expense income in January 1943 was 6,200 yuan, the monthly salary in February was 1,200 yuan, and nine days of public expenses were 1,607.14 yuan (this month is 28 days).
From this actual money income, it can be verified with his diary. During the day, he handled the official duties supervised by the General Administration of Education, held meetings, signed documents, inspected, received, visited, etc. More than half of the time he was socialized at banquets with Japanese and puppet military and political leaders or friends at noon or evening, especially for Japanese military and political parties or attending Japanese military cocktails. He was protected by military and police, and geisha accompanied him to drink, which was a place of delicacy. This is exactly the real life of Zhou Zuoren for more than two years, but he said that he lived hard in Beiping .
If you have official travel, there will be additional official fees. For example, from May 2 to 15, 1942, Zhou Zuoren accompanied Wang Jingwei to Dalian, Changchun and Nanjing. Zhang Juxiang and Zhang Tierong's "Zhou Zuoren Biography" presented their activities in detail. I use the archives to disclose the funding, contact information and secret action arrangements behind it. Mutual verification and complementarity, and the facts are clearer. Seeing Zhou Zuoren taking up a puppet position and relying on the puppet regime supported by the Japanese invaders, he obtained 8,000 yuan in trips to Dalian, Changchun and Nanjing in 14 days, and 6,000 yuan in trips to Peking and Nanjing in April 13, 1943.

weekly person gets 4,200 yuan per month (100,800 yuan in two years); in January 1943, the monthly salary in February is 1,200 yuan, and the public expenses are 1,607.14 yuan. The total is 109,807.14 yuan, which means that Zhou Zuoren served as the supervisor of the General Administration of Education of the pseudo-North China Government Affairs Commission. The books and diary with clear records show that a total of 109,807.14 yuan was obtained. The income from visiting Japan and out of Beijing has not been shown. In addition, the 8,000 yuan income from his trip with Wang Jingwei in Changchun, and the 6,000 yuan income from his trip to his post as a member of the National Government in Nanjing, totaling 123,807.14 yuan. This is naturally a considerable amount.
Zhou Zuoren led a delegation of East Asian Cultural Association members to visit Japan in April 1941, and went to the hospital twice to "condolences" the wounded and sick Japanese invaders of China, and donated 1,000 yuan. (Biography of Zhou Zuoren, page 614)
Zhou Zuoren's actual income is much higher than that of the pseudo- Peking University president Qian Daosun . On April 8, 1941, Zhou Zuoren signed and issued the No. 232, namely, the General Administration of Education of North China Government Affairs Commission, the President of the National Peking University was Qian Daosun. In accordance with the provisions of the interim faculty and staff of the university or the independent college , the principal's salary was given to first-class level, with a monthly national currency of 600 yuan.
Although prices are rising, Zhou Zuoren's actual income is also higher than Li Shiheng, who later became the president of pseudo- Beijing Normal University. On December 4, 1941, Zhou Zuoren signed and issued the No. 602 of the No. 602 of the North China Government Affairs Commission, which submitted the North China Government Affairs Commission to the North China Government Affairs Commission, and gave the monthly salary of the President of the National Beijing Normal University, 700 yuan.
1941, the maximum salary of professors at pseudo-Peking University was 600 yuan in first-class and first-class. This number can only be obtained by the principal. Other Chinese professors (another standard for Japanese professors) can only be between 240 and 400 yuan, and they will receive salary according to their qualifications.
Starting from the second year, as prices rise, the salary of professors at pseudo-Peking University has increased accordingly.
