Chapter 126: Redundant Officials
Li Qianshun was cold, and it was even more thorough than Ka Dazuo.
If it weren't for Li Liangfu and Ren Dejing running away with 100,000 capturing troops early, it is estimated that the entire Western Xia would also be cool with Li Qianshun's coolness.
Even so, Li Liangfu and Ren Dejing did not have a good time.
According to Ren Dejing's plan, the two of them were going to take 100,000 captive troops from Baimaqiang Town Military Division to Xuanhua Mansion, and then go straight to Suzhou after replenishing from Xuanhua Mansion, and the final destination was Shazhou.
However, coincidentally, it was normal for the two of them to run away from the military division of Baimaqiang Town with the captured army, but as soon as they arrived at Xuanhua Mansion, they ran into the planter who had just recovered Xiliang Mansion and was now planning to recover the hometown of the Han and Tang Dynasties.
Almost all of the planters are laughing and peeing-
100,000 captured troops is 500,000 guan, of which Li Liangfu and Ren Dejing's rewards are even higher to 5,000, adding up to 510,000 guan.
No one can resist such a great temptation, and the planters are no exception.
So the later situation became that Li Liangfu and Ren Dejing ran in front, and the seed division led the troops in the back to chase after them.
As for the millions of Tangut people, they were jokingly accepted by the Qin Society.
After all, if you want to build the Great Wall, you have to build roads, and you have to engage in other production, and you can't do it without labor.
And the Tangut people are the best labor, because there is no need to give money.
Zhao Huan also led his troops back to Bianjing.
Then sharpen the knife Huo Huo to the court.
The first knife slashed directly at the redundant official.
The Great Song Dynasty has three redundancies of "redundant officials, redundant army, and redundant expenses", and among the three redundancies, the phenomenon of redundant officials is the most prominent and the most difficult to govern, and the indiscriminate opening of official careers and the overlapping of institutions are the fundamental reasons for the phenomenon of redundant officials-
The Song Dynasty gave special favor to the clan and its cronies, and awarded officials at will, and the boys of the imperial clan could be awarded officials at the age of seven, and some even had official ranks in their infancy, and received a salary; Outside the clan, other side branches, people with different surnames, and disciples can all get shade and fill the official ranks, and thousands of people pour into the bureaucracy every year.
During the Li II period of the Tang Dynasty, the number of officials "above the court" was reduced from more than 2,000 to 634, and by the time of Song Renzong, the number of subordinate officials inside and outside the "court" had exceeded 17,000.
However, the territory of the Great Song Dynasty is only half of that of the Tang Dynasty.
Moreover, the Great Song Dynasty also has a very advanced way of playing, that is, the separation of officials and positions, in which the official is a false name, called "Jilu official", which means a certain level and salary, and "job" is to manage specific affairs, also called "ministry official".
Later, because the bigwigs in the court were too inflated, and there were often five or six people sitting in an official position at the same time, many ministry officials were not very in charge of affairs, and only the officials who were specially assigned to take charge of something would deal with some actual duties.
For example, the official title of "Officials Langzhong, Longtuge Bachelor, Zhikaifeng Mansion", the official department Langzhong is the official, the Longtu Pavilion Bachelor is the position, and the Zhikaifeng Mansion is the actual position, and the first two are empty titles, which are specially used to receive money.
The entire Great Song Dynasty Hall is basically like this.
At this point, the scholars were not very satisfied, because "this is not Confucian treatment".
If you look for the root again, it is estimated that you will have to find the body of the car god of the Gaoliang River-
It was from the Gaoliang River after the god of the car rode a donkey on the Gaoliang River and drifted and only threw a donkey tail to the Liao people that the Great Song Dynasty really began to clearly implement the policy of "emphasizing literature and suppressing martial arts".
If you want to reuse the text, you must reuse the civil officials, and if you want to reuse the civil officials, you must have a large number of civil officials. If you want to have a large number of civil servants, you have to expand the scale of admissions in the imperial examinations.
When such a miraculous conclusion was reached, Zhao Er, the god of the sorghum river, tried to make a simple do...... while loop, I found that there was no bug jumping out of it, so Zhao Er started to execute according to this loop-
The Sui and Tang dynasties were still subject to the restrictions of the sect, and the Great Song Dynasty abolished the restrictions of the sect, which is an advantage, and he is not sprayed.
However, the Great Song Dynasty added subjects such as Jingyi, Zhizhi, Enke, and Prodigy. If the two subjects of Jingyi and Zhizhi are still within the scope of understanding, then what the hell are Enke and Prodigy?
In addition, the Tang Dynasty Jinshi and the first were only twenty or thirty people each time, and the Great Song Dynasty admitted seven or eight hundred people each time.
For example, the famous donkey racer Zhao Er. Zhao Er reigned for 22 years, and nearly 10,000 people passed the imperial examination-
However, this is not the upper limit of the Great Song.
For example, in the three years of Song Zhenzong's Xianping, Zhenzong personally tried to raise people, jinshi, and various subjects (including those who failed repeatedly), and more than 1,800 people were admitted in one year. During the 12-year reign of Song Renzong, there were 4,517 people who won the official position in the first branch of Jinshi in the 13 imperial examinations, and more than 5,000 people in the various subjects.
But the crux of the matter is that these people are officials! Not pigs! A pig can be killed and eaten for meat, but an official needs an official position to be placed!
You think that's the end of it?
But no.
Because this kind of play can only be regarded as increasing the scale of recruitment at best, after all, it is still a normal way to elect officials, even if it can cause a certain degree of redundancy, it is actually limited.
But the officials of the Great Song Dynasty are so sassy, in addition to constantly increasing the scale of recruitment, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty also indiscriminately opened up ways to enter the office.
"Enyin" was played to the extreme by the officials of the Great Song Dynasty, even when the emperor was worshipping in the suburbs, when the official was in the office, or when the official died, he could be "Enyin", anyway, as long as it was a reason, he could be "Enyin".
Especially for the royal family, the threshold of "grace" is even lower to an outrageous degree -
Originally, the regulations of the Great Song Dynasty were that the imperial clan was awarded an official at the age of seven, and when Renzong changed it to an infancy, there was an official position. In the seventh year of Qingli, more than 1,000 people were awarded by the royal family in one year.
As for other civil and military officials, they confer official titles on their close relatives on the basis of their status, and even Lang Zhong and Wai Lang, who have low positions, can also be used by their descendants to obtain official positions.
For example, after the death of Taiwei Wang Dan in the first year of Song Zhenzong's Tianxi, the emperor once "recorded more than a dozen of his sons, nephews, grandsons, doormen, and former officials".
In the third year of Renzong's Qingli, Fan Zhongyan once put forward an opinion on this situation: "If there are people who have served as officials with a bachelor's degree or above for 20 years, then 20 brothers and grandchildren of a family have gone out of Beijing to become officials, and they are still promoted to the dynasty one after another, which is extremely indiscriminate."
However, there is no use for birds, and the officials of the Great Song Dynasty should play "Enyin" or continue to play.
Moreover, in addition to "favors and shadows," there are also "abnormal" ways of recruiting officials, such as giving officials by giving grain and money, and selling official positions, which are also the reasons for the expansion of the bureaucratic contingent and the formation of "redundant officials."
For example, in the event of a famine, as long as the landlord is willing to open a warehouse to provide grain or hire a man who is willing to pay, he can also be awarded an official position by the imperial court depending on the amount of money he contributes-
The original intention of this kind of gameplay is good, but no matter how good the gameplay is, it can still give tricks to play: "Three thousand ropes, straight secret pavilion, five hundred guan, and pass the judgment." ”
Therefore, there are many officials in the Great Song Dynasty.
Even if Zhao Huan said before that he wanted to solve the problem of redundant officials, it was actually useless-
