After a while, Yang Zaixing nodded, "Okay!" I'll go back and report to Dashuai, but it's too late today, so I'll temporarily grieve Yanqing to live here. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"No problem staying for a few days."

"Then I'll leave first, if Yanqing has any requirements, you can come to me directly."

"It's hard work."

Yang Zaixing turned back to a soldier and said, "Serve Li Tanhua well, and there must be no rudeness." ”

Xiao Bing hurriedly said: "The villain doesn't dare!" ”

Yang Zaixing nodded, and said apologetically to Li Yanqing: "I have been on duty for the past two days, and I really can't leave, so I will wash the dust of Yanqing with wine another day." ”

"Since we are here, there will be opportunities in the future, and we will come to Japan for a long time."

Yang Zaixing saluted, and then left in a hurry.

At this time, the soldier stepped forward to lead the horses, bowed to Li Yanqing and said, "There is a military stable here, I will help the officials lead the horses over." ”

"Good! Then bother you. ”

"Where! It is the honor of the villain to be able to serve the official. ”

"Let's go and settle the horses first! Come back to that. ”

Li Yanqing estimated that the stables would not be free, so he took out a few strings of money from the horse bag and gave it to him, "Take this money, and you will be rewarded for the more." ”

The soldiers led the horse away, and Li Yanqing took a turn in the three rooms, the house was a brick house, and the ground was paved with bricks, which looked very dry, and it could be seen that it had just been cleaned, and the room was very clean.

At this time, there were women's quarrels and children's cries in the distance, as well as the barking of domestic dogs, Li Yanqing's brows were furrowed, and this noisy market environment really made his head big.

There was a sound of footsteps in the courtyard, the soldier who had deposited the horses came back, he bowed and stood at the door, waiting for orders, Li Yanqing asked with a smile: "What is your name, where are you from?" ”

"The villain's name is Lin Xiaoyi, a native of Yichuan County, Danzhou, Shaanxi, and the official can call me Xiaoyi."

Li Yanqing saw that he was thin and estimated to be not very old, so he asked again, "How old are you this year?" ”

"The villain is thirteen years old!"

"Joined the army at the age of thirteen?"

"The villain's family suffered a serious locust plague last year, and there was no harvest, and it happened that the army was recruiting miscellaneous soldiers, and they could be over twelve years old, so the villain was recruited, in exchange for some money to support his parents and younger brother."

Li Yanqing nodded, it was indeed not easy, he thought about it and asked, "How to solve the problem of eating here?" ”

"Every morning and evening, there will be a food truck to deliver food, and most people have to spend money to buy it, but the officials don't use it, and the villains also follow the officials."

"Don't call the villain anymore, call Xiao B! It's a little smoother. ”

"In the barracks, everyone calls me Xiao Yi."

"Are there any restaurants or anything like that around here?"

"Yes! Walking out directly from the side alley, across the street is Sanping Tile, which has everything. ”

"I'll go out for a walk, you clean up, if I come back late, you can eat by yourself, don't wait for me."

Li Yanqing took out another twenty taels of silver to him as daily expenses, Li Yanqing saw that this Cao Xiaoyi was quite clever and capable, so he had the heart to leave him to serve him.

After arranging accommodation, Li Yanqing immediately left the military house and headed to the north of the tile, he wanted to find a restaurant to have a drink and wash himself away.

.......

Early the next morning, Li Yanqing came to the military office, and a sergeant had already rushed in to report for him.

After a while, a middle-aged civilian officer came out, saluted Li Yanqing and said with a smile: "There was something urgent in the military camp in the morning, and the marshal rushed to the barracks, and he may come back a little later, and the marshal asked me to introduce the situation of the army to Envoy Li." ”

"What is your surname, sir?"

The middle-aged man smiled slightly: "In Xia Caoqing, Taixue was born, and he has been following the marshal for twenty years, and he is currently in charge of the secretary under the marshal." ”

Although this Cao Qing did not say it explicitly, Li Yanqing still understood that this person was the chief staff of the Seed Master Dao, and he could be in charge of confidential information, and he was probably also the chief staff.

The biggest difference between Li Yanqing and him is that Li Yanqing is appointed by the Ministry of Officials, belongs to the official within the establishment, and has the opportunity to be promoted, while Cao Qing can only follow the way of the planter, but it is often easier to be trusted by the staff.

Li Yanqing hurriedly saluted him, "Please take care of Mr. Cao in the future!" ”

"Envoy Li doesn't have to be polite, please come with me!"

Li Yanqing followed Cao Qing into the military office, the houses in the military office were neat, and the rooms of each division were one after another, commanding an army of 100,000, without a complete management system, it was difficult for the army to operate normally.

Cao Qing said as he walked: "There are three main components of the military civilian duties, one is the military and political departments, such as the division in charge of soldiers' military registration, training, and recruitment, such as the division in charge of food and materials, the justice in charge of military rewards and punishments, the division in charge of the military house in charge of the good field, the division in charge of various engineering works, the division in charge of weapons, the division in charge of armor, the division in charge of horses and harnesses, etc., a total of eight divisions, five people in each division, one person in charge, four people in charge, and the director of the eight divisions is to record the army and the deputy director to join the army, In addition, I, the secretary in charge of confidential documents, formed the largest part of the civilian work, and I usually worked in the military office, and occasionally went to the barracks. ”

"And what about the other two?"

"The second block is the supervision of the army, I believe you understand what is going on, I won't say much, in short, it is not under our control, the third block is the military affairs of the counselor, which will only be set during the war, not in peacetime."

"What exactly do I want to do with that kind of handsomeness?" Li Yanqing asked again.

"Li Zhizhi is the envoy of the Baojing Army appointed by the Ministry of Officials, the marshal said that it is only the official rank of Li Guanren, but what to do depends on the dispatch, we are all sent here, the court does not have a corresponding official position, the meaning of the marshal, can only be wronged Li Zhizhi temporarily served as the chief of the army, enjoy the treatment of seven grades, I don't know what Li Zhi's intentions are?"

The official system of the Great Song Dynasty was extremely complex and chaotic, and the number of bureaucrats was extremely large, especially when it came to the reform of Yuanfeng and the reform of political peace, many times it was so complicated that even the officials of the Ministry of Officials could not figure it out, but the principle remained the same, that is, senior officials were pragmatic, and senior officials had no real power, and those who held real power were low-level officials or staff.

For an official, he often has several official positions, which are generally divided into loose official ranks, official ranks and dispatches, and the scattered official rank refers to the official rank, like Li Yanqing's loose official rank is the eighth rank to Shilang, which is his official status, and is the eighth rank official.

This official rank is also called Jilu official, that is, what specific position is done, and he will be treated according to this position, and Li Yanqing's official rank is the envoy of the Baojing Army, but this is from the eight-rank official, that is, the official department pays him the salary from the eight-rank official.

Although many officials are idle in their official positions, they are not willing to close the door all day long to catch mosquitoes, so they will find ways to build relationships and find a dispatch, but the assignment is often a temporary post.

For example, this time the imperial court decided to go on the Northern Expedition, so it temporarily set up the Western Route Army Economic and Strategic Envoy, and the Seed Master Dao served as the commander, so that there were many temporary posts, and Li Yanqing also got a post of sending the head of the economic strategy official office to join the army.

Li Yanqing knew this very well, his purpose was to closely follow the way of the planter, accumulate a certain amount of qualifications, and then he could serve as a commander and envoy in the capacity of a civilian official and formally grasp military power.

Although the official department gave him twelve taels of silver per month, plus 25 yuan of various miscellaneous subsidies, but when he arrived here, his welfare housing subsidies and other additional local subsidies were according to the seven-grade officials.

Of course, Li Yanqing doesn't care, what he values is real power, since he is allowed to join the army as the main officer, what is he not satisfied with?

"I don't have any opinions, I'm more than willing to accept this position!"

Cao Qing smiled, "Then please ask Envoy Li to go to the official room with me!" ”

The Song Dynasty adhered to the Tang system, although the name changed slightly, Cao changed to the division, but the nature remained the same, the eight chief officials joined the army for the record, and there were two deputy directors on the left and right below, of which the division of the army and the judiciary were directly managed by the record of the army, and the right chief was in charge of the Si Cang, Si Tian and the division of the worker, and the left was in charge of the division of soldiers, division armor and division of the horse, and the current lack of officials was the left chief to join the army.

Zhao Yuan, who joined the army in the record, is in his thirties, thin and small, although he looks very shrewd and capable, but he always feels that he lacks a little atmosphere, he is a native of Taiyuan, he was born in Taiyuan, and he has been following the Taoist for ten years, but he is very cold to the arrival of Li Yanqing, the head of the left.

"Your official room is in the second room on the left, your predecessor has left a lot of things, you have to deal with it yourself, a Jinshi like you doesn't need me to teach you, but I want to remind you that your predecessor was arrested for corruption, you should be careful yourself, don't repeat the mistakes of the past."

With that, he waved his hand, as if he were driving away a disturbing fly.
