It didn't take long for Fu Bi to take a few entourages and move a few thickly bound books to Zhao Xin. Each one is a foot thick, and even adults need both hands to hold it.

But this is normal!

Zhao Xin waved his hand, and Liu Yongnian immediately stepped forward to serve him, moved these books to the young prince, and then helped him open them.

Then, a piece of printing paper posted in the middle of the book came into view.

The Great Song Dynasty had a system that all official documents and their archives must be printed on paper.

And there are two kinds of printing paper.

One is that the slightly yellow paper that Zhao Xin is seeing now is made by the Inquisitor's Court, and the paper is anti-counterfeiting and marked.

The main purpose is to be issued to the chief of the Zhulu Division, and then issued to its subordinate officials, to record the political achievements, merits, time in office and leave time of these officials during their tenure, and then by the road to transfer the envoy, raise Changping official affairs, mention the criminal prison official affairs to draw and sign, and finally hand over to the imperial court for assessment, the most important palace.

The other is the printing paper issued by the emperor's order and supervised by the Shaofu general, which is called the imperial printing paper.

This kind of paper was distributed to the officials of the Beijing Dynasty such as Zhulu Zhizhou and Tongju.

Let them keep a record of how many cases they have adjudicated, how many taxes they have collected, what they have done, what the situation is in the country, how many unjust cases have been redressed, and what the people have reacted to...... Etcetera.

After writing these things, it's not like that.

These officials had to show them to his colleagues who were also officials of the Beijing Dynasty, and then sign and draw them together to confirm that there were no omissions or problems, and finally when the official left his post, he brought them back to the court and handed them over to the emperor.

In the Great Song Dynasty, whether it was the printing paper issued to ordinary officials or the imperial printing paper of the officials of the Beijing Dynasty, it was a very serious legal document.

It is related to the official's own confession and book, as a proof of his investigation and transfer to the official.

Its importance is even higher than that of the official seal.

If you lose your official seal, you can apply for a recast, and if you lose your paper, tell yourself, and tie a book, you are basically losing your official position.

Unless it is a relative of the emperor or a person with eyes and hands, the Fourth Court of Quancao is too lazy to select people and Beijing officials for a mere district, so as to spend manpower and material resources to redo a copy for him.

You're just waiting.

Anyway, there are so many officials in the Great Song Dynasty, there are not many more, and there are no less ones.

And underneath the printing paper, there is also a piece of rice paper.

This is called footsteps, and it records the age of the official, the place of birth, the situation of the three generations of his father and grandfather, and whether he has committed a crime, whether he has ever been corrupt and perverted the law, and whether he has abused his duties and power.

It can be said that the civil service system of the Great Song Dynasty has basically developed to the peak that the civil service system in the classical feudal era can reach.

The color of the feet, the printing of paper, the confession, and the book, just like a net, are all-encompassing, and the past, present and future of the officials are recorded clearly and carefully.

Zhao Xin looked at the stickers in front of him and the words on the stickers, and remained silent, until he looked at them for a while, and felt that his eyes were a little tired, so he turned his head to Fu Bi and asked, "Where is the list of tricolor people?" ”

When Fu Bi heard this, he was slightly surprised, but he immediately stepped forward and brought a book with a yellowed cover that was pressed under all the books to Zhao Xin.

The officials of the Great Song Dynasty are all from a background.

For example, the Jinshi is divided into five grades, there are Jinshi and the first, Jinshi origin, and the same Jinshi origin, in addition to the imperial examination, there are Ming Jing, Zhuke, Nine Classics, Zhou Yi, and there is a grace nature of the special performance of the Jinshi.

There are also national meritorious heroes, who are made up for officials according to the system, which is called playing to make up for their origins.

The above are all clear and right, and they will not be scrutinized by people with colored glasses in officialdom.

It is the own people of the scholars and landlords.

But some people are different.

For example, the sons-in-law of the children of the clan, because they are relatives of the Zhao official family, are to be given official positions according to the system, but because these guys do not rely on ability and imperial examinations to become officials, but rely on women to be officials, so they are called skirt leaders.

In addition, the in-laws of the queen, the queen mother, and the concubine, because Yin En was specially appointed as an official, were also excluded from the clear stream, and were called holding incense, whose incense was held? The queen mother in the palace!

But whether it is a skirt or a incense, it is basically rare to compete on the same track with orthodox civil officials.

Therefore, the civil officials usually complain about one or two, and they really meet, and there are many stinky feet!

The one that really makes the Qingliu righteous people look down on and look down on is called the 'tricolor people'.

That is, the officials are hardworking, diligent, and awarded officials according to the system; In response to the call of the country and the emperor, donate money and grain, accept Su as an official, and be an official for other reasons and ways.

These three kinds of people are either vulgar officials, rich nouveau riche, or stunned people who don't know which horn pimple pops up.

The orthodox civil officials had a headache and disdain when they saw them, if it weren't for the pressure of the Great Song Dynasty system and the fact that the ancestors were in the law, I am afraid that there are many people who want to kick these three-color people out of the officialdom.

Naturally, the difficulties and obstacles encountered by the 'three-color people' when they were grinding and transferring officials were far greater than those of other backgrounds.

Not to mention it, just a petty official in the Quancao Fourth Courtyard, just find an excuse, and you can make a tricolor person's life's hard work go to waste.

As a result, in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, I don't know how many reckless heroes' ambitions and ambitions were buried.

Fortunately, the number of Dayan is fifty, and its use is forty-nine, whether it is heaven or the country, there will always be a window for those who have a heart.

In the Great Song Dynasty, tricolor people are not always discriminated against, and they are not without the opportunity to get rid of their tricolor origin.

Because the State also provides for a special measure: the removal of the legacy.

According to the system, the local important ministers of the state who have been sentenced to the rank of three kings or above or who have the post of embassy, as well as the chief officials of the main government, the privy government, and the three ya, can recommend to the emperor those cadres and talents who are unable to pass the imperial examination for various reasons.

If the emperor accepts the recommendation, he can issue a special grace to overtake his official position and put him directly in the capital official.

For example, Taizong Kaibao was five years old, and accepted the recommendation of Han Pi, a bachelor of Hanlin, and promoted Wan Shi, Yang Pu, Tian Jie and others.

Zhenzong Dazhong Xiangfu was directly relocated to Liu Xuan of Hezhong Mansion for the selection of Dali Temple.

It's just that in the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the Sanjing Tongju and the scholars have changed I don't know how much, and the ministers who are willing to take their reputation and future and present their bereavements to the emperor have always been very few, and there are not a few every year.

The important ministers who are still in power today are just a chapter and a Du Yan.

When Zhang Dexiang was the Cao and Dali Temple of the Criminal Department, the Empress Dowager of Ming Su successively recommended more than a dozen officials from Xu Xian, all of whom were overmoved to Beijing officials, and now there are even some of these people who have become Luti criminal officials.

When Du Yan knew Jiangling Mansion, he also recommended several local petty officials, and among the people he recommended, there are now people who have become the chief official of Dali Temple.

The other, Fan Zhongyan was actually a beneficiary of this system, he was personally recommended to the court by his old boss Zhang Lun, then the deputy envoy of Jianghuai System and Shipping, so Fan Zhongyan was able to become a Beijing official that year, and immediately got rid of Xinghua County.

This is the result of the emperor's special over-migration!

Thinking about these things in his heart, Zhao Xin's eyes scanned in the book that Liu Yongnian flipped through.

Soon, he found the name he was looking for.
