Thinking of rushing home before dark, Li Xiao was still thinking about his daughter-in-law's belly getting bigger day by day. But before he reached the south gate, a team of people came over, asked a few words to confirm that he was Li Xiao, and asked him to turn around.

It was Sinong Siqing who came to invite him.

Sinong Siqing, this is Li Xiao's current boss.

Sinong Temple, one of the nine temples of the Tang Dynasty. The difference between the nine temples and the five supervisors of the Tang Dynasty and the six departments is that the six departments are in charge of the decree, and the temple supervisors are specifically implemented. For example, the Ministry of Culture is responsible for the planning and layout of some policy-based cultural industries, and the specific supervision and access are often the responsibility of the press and publication.

To put it bluntly, one is to make overall decisions, and the other is to implement them. Some are similar to the Monk Book Province under the Zhongshu Gate, which is also a decision, an execution.

Because of this, although there are household departments in the six departments of the Tang Dynasty, it seems that they are also in charge of agriculture and food, but in fact, the specific ones are still managed by Sinong Temple.

The specific responsibilities of Sinong Temple are to be in charge of grain storage, warehouse management and the supply of rice to the officials of the Beijing Dynasty, and the four departments of Shanglin, Taicang, Goudun, and Xiaguan and Zhucang, Sizhu, Zhutang, Gongyuan, Yanchi, and Zhutun are supervised. All the officials of Kyoto, the court meeting, and the Cai ritual are all provided. Borrowing the field, then entering the plow.

The management is very miscellaneous, but all agriculture and food are basically managed by Sinong Temple.

Li Xiao's corn supervisor is under the Shanglin Department of Sinong Temple, and his status is similar to that of Sizhu Supervisor and others.

Si Nongqing is from the third grade, the level is very high, the purple-robed boss, according to later generations, that is a high-ranking official or even a deputy national level.

After all, the prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty also have the title of the third rank under the same Zhongshu, and some prime ministers are often the servants of the fourth grade.

The Shanglin Department has an order and a cheng, and the order is from the seventh grade, and it is even lower than Li Xiao's corn supervisor, but this is not surprising, after all, the relationship between the four departments under Sinong Temple and the eunuchs is actually a parallel relationship.

The Forestry Department is in charge of the garden pond and plants fruits and vegetables for the court meeting, sacrifice and food. In winter, hide ice.

The Si Zhu, corn and other prisons are in charge of the same specific affairs, such as the Si Zhu Supervisor, who is in charge of bamboo-related, planting bamboo, and making bamboo utensils for the court. Some palace supervisors are specifically responsible for managing a palace, and salt pond supervisors are specifically responsible for managing a certain salt pond.

Sinong Siqing's grade is quite high, from the third grade, but the power is worse than that of the household book. After all, among the six Shangshu, there are often Shangshu and even Shilang who can directly enter the center as the prime minister, but there is almost no Jiuqing who can be the prime minister.

There is only one imperial historian in the court, Yuwen Festival, who worships the prime minister as the fifth eunuch, and that is also because he used to be the prime minister.

The emperor issued a will, or after the edict of the Chinese book, the edict added a new corn supervisor to Sinong Temple, and specially assigned a new supervisor, how dare Si Nongqing be careless.

Especially when this Si Nongqing heard that the emperor had specially summoned this new corn prison to have dinner in the hall today, he became more and more cautious.

The prime minister's restaurant has not been eaten once by the purple-robed minister of the third grade. And Li Xiao was originally a cloth cloth, but he was promoted to a six-grade official, and he also won the glory of giving a gallery meal, how could this Si Nongqing dare to be careless.

When Li Xiao rushed to the yamen of Sinong Temple in the imperial city, this Si Nongqing personally brought the officials in the temple to greet him.

This greatly surprised Li Xiao.

No matter what, he is just a six-rank official who has not officially taken office, and this top boss is one of the three grades, one of the nine Qings.

"This should be the corn supervisor Eunuch Li personally awarded by His Majesty, he is really young and promising, and he is really a talent, and my Nong Temple has to add a general."

Si Nongqing Liu Xiangdao stepped forward to greet him with a smile.

This meeting made many of the officials of Sinong Temple present a little secretly alarmed, from the third-grade Si Nongqing to a sixth-grade supervisor, which is really rare.

Many people looked at the white cloth on Li Xiao's body, and they were even confused, where did this come out of a great god, why hadn't they heard of it before.

Li Xiao stood there a little embarrassed, he didn't know anyone, although he would definitely be his colleagues after knowing this.

"Li Xiao in Xia Lantian, I've seen you, and I don't know what to call it."

Liu Xiangdao was very approachable, "A certain is Si Nongqing Liu Xiangdao, a native of Weizhou." ”

I was still very surprised to hear that this person who looked like an old gentleman in a private school was Si Nongqing Li Xiao, although this person was already wearing a purple robe, he should have remembered it a long time ago, after all, there are few ministers who can wear a purple robe, and there is only one in Sinong Temple.

The official robes of the Tang Dynasty officials are dressed according to their grades, only the third grade or above can wear purple, the fourth and fifth grades wear scarlet, the sixth and seventh grades wear green, and the eighth and ninth grades wear green.

Purple is the most difficult color to dye in this era, and it is therefore designated as the color of the official robe of the highest officials.

"The subordinates don't know that Liu Sinong is on top, and it's rude."

Liu Xiangdao was very approachable and pulled Li Xiao up, "In the future, we will be colleagues in the same yamen, so we don't have to be so polite." ”

At this time, Liu Xiangdao also took the initiative to introduce Li Xiao to the officials of Sinong Temple on the side. There are two Shaoqing from the fourth grade, six from the sixth grade, and the following four signed orders, as well as the commissioner, the supervisor, the deputy supervisor, the supervisor and so on.

There are a lot of officials, after all, it is one of the top yamen in the imperial court, and Li Xiao kept saluting for a while, but he was a little dizzy, and he didn't even write down a few names.

He secretly felt that he was really not an official.

If you are an official, you must at least have a strong ability to recognize and remember people.

After seeing a circle of people, everyone praised Li Xiao for being young and promising, and Liu Xiangdao also kindly took Li Xiao's hand and entered the yamen.

As he walked, he also asked him about his relationship with the British Duke Li Ji.

"I'm really not related to Ying Gong, it's just that Ying Gong has gone to my house a few times." Li Xiao told the truth.

Liu Xiangdao secretly believes that you have a ghost, if you are not a relative, you will be the prime minister of the court, why does the British Duke Li Ji want to go to your small landowner's house in the countryside for dinner? Besides, just now, the British Duke specially sent a guard captain beside him to pass the word, and the meaning of the words was to let him take more care of Li Xiao.

He even deliberately hinted that the emperor attached great importance to Li Xiao.

If it weren't for this, it would be impossible for him to do this to a subordinate.

You must know that he Liu Xiangdao is also a standard second-generation official, and his father was the Zhongshu Shilang and the Ministry Shilang at the time of Zhenguan, and he was also given the title of Baron of Yongping County. If he hadn't died early due to illness, maybe his father would have been one of the prime ministers of the dynasty.
