On this day of the New Year, not only is Dongting Lake more lively, but the court is also full of joy.

Yu Xiu'er's plan that has been operating among the major powerful ladies for so long was finally approved in the court today.

From now on, in the administrative yamen of the Tang Dynasty, women can be officials in two departments, the Taile Department and the Taiyi Department.

Moreover, the grade of these two yamen is not low, after the Taile Division of the Ministry of Rites was expanded to the Taile Department, the Taile Order was concurrently served by the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, that is to say, it is now from the level of the third grade.

There are four major institutions under the Taile Agency: the Palace Art Troupe, the Military Humanities Art Troupe, the Political Art Troupe, and the Civil Art Troupe.

They are responsible for various ceremonial performances in the Imperial Palace, condolence music for soldiers, state receptions and visiting music, as well as condolence music performances for various ordinary people such as farmers, industrialists, and merchants.

At present, although each troupe has been given a staff of 1,000 people, like other newly established departments, it is still just an empty shelf, and the specific structure is composed of those members, and the four Lang Zhong who are also the head of the troupe must be recruited by themselves, and they will have the right to draw up grades for the more outstanding musicians, singers, dancers and other artists recruited, from the lowest from the ninth rank to the highest from the sixth grade, a total of 25 grades.

Of course, this grade is just a status symbol, and artists with a grade will not have any administrative power of officials of the same grade except for the household registration of first-class citizens and the salary of the corresponding grade, and cannot be transferred to other administrative officials at the same level.

As expected, the Imperial Physician's decree was set to be from the third grade, maintaining the same grade as the Guozi Priest's Wine, and managing the Tai Hospital that was about to be rolled out in all prefectures and counties, which was similar to the authority of the Ministry of Health in later generations.

Although Sun Simiao's Shanyang Medical College is also from the third grade, it also has to accept the management of the Taiyi Ling Zhen Quan, and in the future, Sun Simiao is mainly responsible for medical education and research, and Zhen Quan is responsible for the administrative management and daily work of the entire medical system.

Of course, the Taiyi Department is currently an empty shelf, and the local Tai Hospital will be able to cover Guanzhong at most next year, and it will take at least three or five years to roll it out across the country, first, because Datang does not have so many doctors now, and second, because Datang does not have so many manpower and resources now.

In the plan, the sound Tai Yi Department will set up a Tai Hospital in all administrative areas above the county level, and the hospital is being upgraded accordingly according to the local administrative level, grade level, state, province, and grade, that is to say, in the future, the number of medical officers with grades in Datang alone will reach thousands, plus some officials, nurses, etc., the number of people engaged in the entire medical system will reach tens of thousands, and these people can be conjured out of thin air immediately if the emperor gives an order.

Therefore, the use of women as officials is also to meet the actual needs, because after the establishment of these systems, they are relatively large, and all the words of men will cause other industries that are already short of manpower to be more inoperable, when the imperial court issued this announcement, all these factors were explained to everyone clearly, and in the next imperial examination, the gender restrictions on medicine will be relaxed, and at the same time, the art department without gender restrictions will be added.

That is to say, in the future, all kinds of artists can also participate in the imperial examination, obtain the qualification of interns, and work in various troupes under the Taile Agency, which is good news for artists all over the world.

Unexpectedly, the people showed a great response to this announcement, almost all of them were praise and praise, but Li Shimin and the ministers of the court did not expect, who said that the current situation of this country is that there are more women than men!

Of course, the reason why there is a happy situation is because this kind of reform has allowed more people to gain benefits, and there are more officials, and the probability of promotion of all people is greater, except for a few top officials in the court, most of the officials expect that there will be more and more yamen in the imperial court, and the system will become bigger and bigger, at least, this time the adjustment has made many of the children of the minister's family mixed into an official body, and there are more officials who have greater real power, and more officials have the expectation of promotion, just the new officials who manage the medical system, There are as many as dozens of people above the fifth grade, and these people have to be promoted from among the officials of the original sixth or seventh grade.

Almost as soon as the announcement of the imperial court was released, several well-known artists in Wangjianglou, and even many other official ladies who had high attainments in playing songs and dances, and were well-known, received invitations from the Taile Department, because the emperor made a request to the Ministry of Rites that after the Shangyuan Festival next year, the team that sent the Western Regions must be accompanied by a troupe of artists.

All of a sudden, in Chang'an City, the value of singing and dancing artists doubled, and the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites was very busy, some of them came to ask for officials, and some of them were invited by officials of the Ministry of Rites.

Like Yao Hongsleeve, he was invited by the Political Art Troupe with top treatment, from the grade of the sixth grade, and relatively relaxed working conditions.

Later, she had the title of Doctor of Artists in the Political Art Troupe of the Ministry of Rites, and many of the disciples she brought out could also directly enter the Political Art Troupe as officials, or accept the employment of the Art Troupe.

Moreover, she can also take over business performances by herself when there is no task in the imperial court, as long as she pays a little attention to maintaining her image and maintaining the dignity of the court officials.

Li Xiangdie has become an artist doctor of the folk art troupe, also from the sixth grade, the conditions are equivalent to Yao Hongsleeve, and even the entire team of the folk art troupe are all artists brought out by her subordinates, and there are dozens of people with grades.

As for the palace art troupe, there are the original court musicians as the team, and the military humanities troupe will send a large part of the people from Li Chengqian's prince six rates, which should be the first of the four major art troupes to be fully formed.

Sun Mansion, Yao Hongsleeve Li Xiangdie, who came back from the Ministry of Rites, and a cadre of artists who have obtained the grade, came to meet Yu Xiu'er who has operated all this, at this time, no one can understand the excitement in their hearts, women are officials, envoys on behalf of the imperial court, and their fame has been immortal, these things that Sun Xiangfu only described to them a little before now, and now, it is really going to be realized.

You must know that Yao Hongsleeve was originally a slave, and Li Xiangdie was a person who became a lowly person after committing an official, and now, they have actually obtained the status of an official, and they can enter and exit the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites in a bright and bright manner, and receive the same salary as the court officials.

"Excuse me! Actually, there is only so much I can do for you, and what you should really be grateful for is my husband, who came up with this idea and made suggestions along the way, so that he finally succeeded and opened up such an unprecedented path for me and other women. ”

"Governor Sun is still in Jingzhou, I don't know if I can rush back to see us off."

Now, all parties of Datang are short of manpower, and Li Shimin's request for envoys to the countries of the Western Regions is to show the best side of Datang.

Therefore, Li Xiangdie and Yao Hongsleeve, as well as most of the musicians present, have to go, this time is not short, at least more than two years to return, they have long been clear about all aspects of the political tasks of the mission, as for the spiritual encouragement, of course, the more the better.

"Jingzhou's affairs, it's not troublesome to think about, with the ability of the husband, it will definitely turn around after the Shangyuan Festival, but you wait, go to a foreign country, you have to take care of your body, some personnel coordination and rehearsals, take advantage of the time before departure, take advantage of the time before departure, take a good grasp, this year's Spring Festival Gala and Shangyuan Festival Gala, but you say goodbye to the performance!"

Yu Xiu'er's confession is also the focus of everyone's current attention, with their identity, it is not easy to participate in the national affairs, naturally they will play hard, show the best side, Sun Xiangfu once said, skills are endless, their current level, although praised by everyone as good, but can do better, only when your pursuit has been better, will continue to improve.

"I'm afraid that after I leave, there will be a lot of losses in the area of Wangjiang Tower." After all, Yao Hongsleeve is a person from Sun Mansion, they are now going to the future, but because of this, the interests of Sun Mansion have been damaged, she has a little trouble in her heart, this year's Spring Festival Gala and Shangyuan Festival Gala, she decided to present her best performances, and make as much money as possible for the old proprietor.

"You can rest assured about this, I think at the beginning, it was not the husband and I who supported this stage, now, the technology of various stage layouts has matured, and the training of artists has been continuously strengthened and improved, I believe that when you come back, our new batch of artists will already have the strength to compete with you."

The advantage of Wangjianglou now is that it is rich and rich, you can spend money, and recruit people with this expertise all over the world to join, as long as you get on the stage of Wangjianglou, you will not be far from becoming famous, so, many people with this specialty will take the initiative to take refuge in it, before, it was because it was necessary to control the scale of the number of people, and only ensure that the artists on the stage of each branch were enough, and now, most of the main force was taken away at once, but a lot of hydration is needed, which will give many people who did not have the opportunity to enter this system a chance.

The most intuitive embodiment of a country's prosperity is that people can easily get jobs and earn money easily, and now, Datang's manpower gap is so big, all walks of life are recruiting, as long as people who are willing to come out to find a job to earn money, they can get a good income, and there is no problem in feeding a family, which is a thriving situation.

Of course, more people are engaged in occupations other than farming, which forces them to have to make continuous progress in agricultural technology, and only when the original agricultural output is enough to meet the needs of the society can the progress of all other projects be guaranteed, and Sun Xiangfu is now doing things to promote the increase of original output.

Before coming, most of them had heard Sun Xiangfu's rhetoric to the Zhang brothers, so most of them believed in the imperial court and wanted to solve the problems here, and the hatred for the local heroes who persecuted them prompted them to be more willing to obey the arrangements of the imperial court.

Therefore, Lin Bao, the leader of the water bandits called Lin Jiazhai who kidnapped the Miao people, came with all the Miao people who were kidnapped by him, a total of more than a dozen boats and more than a thousand people.

"My lord, the grass people are stupid, they have been used by others, and they are suddenly ignorant, and they almost killed the lives of tens of thousands of brothers around them, please see that the grass people did not harm these Miao people, for the sake of the brothers of this village, all the sins were committed by me Lin Bao alone, and the court wants to kill or chop, just dispose of me alone."

On the big deck of the official ship, Lin Bao and the other leaders of the water village were not in a hurry, so they took the lead in kneeling down in front of Sun Xiangfu, and beside him, there were some gold and silver property, which was the benefit that Cai, Huang, Kuai, Liu, and Deng sent to him.

However, although his words were sincere, the brothers he brought over might not be willing to see him executed like this, gathered together one by one, looked at Sun Xiangfu with nervous eyes, and waited for him to make a decision, even if they knew the true intentions of those Haoqiang, but in their hearts, it was really difficult to talk about trust in the government, because the crows in the world are generally black, and the reason why Haoqiang was able to control the local government was because the people who were officials came out of these Haoqiang families. Their current mentality is more like paying for peace, just hoping that Sun Xiangfu can accept the money and help them resist the pressure from the central court.

"Hehe, you get up first! I didn't say who I would deal with you, but the court would not encourage you to do so, so you have to become a tainted witness and testify against the court to point out the crimes of those wicked people who want to mess up the country and persecute the people, so that you can atone for your own crimes. ”

Hearing Sun Xiangfu say this, Lin Leopard kneeling on the deck and the leader of the water village who watched the lively water village on the surrounding boat board, but they were overjoyed, it seems that this official really wants to solve it, or to deal with these local heroes in Jingzhou, in this way, they are really safe, because they know that as long as the imperial court does not send officials and troops to exterminate them, then, their life will not be worse than now, no matter how strong the local heroes are, they will not send their soldiers to fight them, this is what the imperial court can do.
