That sounds like an interesting project you got going. Would be interested in hearing more about it. Also, thank you for bringing the Quantitative History project to my attention a few days ago. This isn't really my field of expertise, but I had a quick look around:
This might give you a starting point, with some data for the Late Ming dynasty (dating back to 1550/1573, unskilled & hired farm hands):

Also, it may not be ideal, but the GPIH @ UC Davis website you linked has data on rice prices for 961-1910, which got me thinking that you might be able to infer wages using this type of data. (also maybe check http://www.iisg.nl/hpw/data.php if they have anything useful that isn't covered at GPIH)
I'll keep looking though.
As for "A Monetary History of China", there appears to be an English translation by Edward H. Kaplan (1993), but I have a hard time sourcing it. I'll check with my university librarian today or tmrw, as I'm still getting used to the system at my new school and may have overlooked something. But it's gotta be available somewhere here in London or maybe I can request an interlibrary loan from Cambridge (which has the item available). Of course, if you're desperate, the translated version is available for 120 bucks at Amazon.
