Since Zhao Kuangyin established the Great Song Dynasty, he began to adjust the central bureaucratic system.

In order to prevent someone from ascending to the throne in the same way as himself in the future, Zhao Kuangyin adopted the method of setting up officials and dividing the powers of governors at all levels to weaken the power of the officials in charge of various departments. As a result, some officials are just empty names, and the so-called "officials" are often just a simple take.

There are two situations of this kind of official: first, in the process of unifying the five dynasties and ten kingdoms of Zhao Kuangyin and his successor Zhao Kuangyi of the Song Dynasty, in order to complete the unification more quickly, a large number of old officials from various countries were retained, so that they could maintain their official positions and receive salaries, but they were not allowed to hold real power (only some actual positions were arranged for those who were considered reliable); Second, for the clan, relatives, and honorable veterans, only high-ranking officials are awarded, and they are given preferential treatment, but not real positions. By the time of Song Zhenzong, these measures were institutionalized.

According to the system formulated by Song Zhenzong, officials in the Great Song Dynasty generally had two titles: "official" and "dispatch", and some officials also added the title of "post". "Official" only means that he can receive a salary, and the position is the real power.

Each agency checks each other down, and it is common for "no one to do what is his or her own". For example, the left and right servants, the six Shangshu, the squire, the doctor, the langzhong, the outer lang, the qing, the shaoqing, etc., lost their original meaning after becoming the names of the official ranks, and no longer held the positions corresponding to the official names. These official names are only used as the basis for determining the rank, the salary, the chapter uniform, and the order of relocation, so they are called the main official or the main official, also known as the rank official or the Jilu official. Among them, there is a difference between civil resources and military rank.

In the official positions of the Great Song Dynasty, only dispatch refers to the actual position held by officials, also known as "ministry officials". The names of the official positions sent often contain the words "judgment", "knowledge", "power", "straight", "test", "guangou", "lift", "mention", "signing", "prison", etc., such as "magistrate", "governor of the county", "governor of the government", "knowledge of the system", "direct secretary", "judgment of the ancestral hall", "mention of prison affairs", and so on.

Officials are promoted according to seniority, and even if they do not serve as dispatchers, they can receive salaries according to their ranks, and dispatches are transferred and promoted according to the needs of the imperial court and the talents of officials. Therefore, what really determines the actual power is not the official rank, but whether there is the word "dispatch" and other words before the official position.

The separation of official titles and actual positions made a large number of officials inside and outside the court of the Great Song Dynasty idle, and the three provinces, six ministries, and twenty-four departments all had formal officials in name, but they had specific real power unless the emperor specially ordered them, and most of them did not manage the functions of the ministry according to their official positions. Therefore, in the government agencies at all levels in the Great Song Dynasty, many officials may not know what their real actual powers are, what they should do and what they can do, even when Zhishi retires.

This resulted in an extremely deformed bureaucratic redundancy and an extremely large and bloated bureaucracy in the Great Song Dynasty.

General judgment, also known as governor's general judgment. Generally, it is the rank of the seventh rank or from the sixth rank. In order to strengthen the control of the locality, Song Taizu set up a post of general judgment in each state and government in accordance with the Tang system, assisting the governor or prefect in handling government affairs.

The official rank of the governor and the prefect of the Great Song Dynasty is generally from the third rank and the fourth grade, and the general judgment is from the official rank of the sixth rank and the seventh grade, and there is a certain difference between the general judgment and the governor and the prefect in the official rank, and the general judgment is directly appointed by the emperor to assist the county government, which can be regarded as the deputy position of the governor, but the general judgment is the power to report directly to the emperor, and there is the right to supervise the officials of a state and a government, so although the official rank of the general judge is not high, it is extremely powerful.

The general judgment and the size of the prefect and the prefect can make the emperor better control the place.

As the imperial capital, although Lin'an Mansion is only a prefecture, the prefect grade of Lin'an Mansion is one level higher than that of the local governor, and it is the third grade. At the same time, the general judgment of Lin'an Mansion is also one level higher than that of the states, which is the sixth grade.

The official rank is not too important, according to the official system of the Great Song Dynasty, there are many officials who are of the first grade or even the super grade, although the grade is very high, but most of them are false names and do not have much real power.

For example, Zheng Qingzhi's special entry to the left prime minister, the good thing to say is also the left prime minister, but the bad thing is just a false name, that is, only the name and title of the left prime minister, but it is not comparable to the actual left prime minister Qiao Xingjian in terms of real power.

However, the general judgment is different, the grade of the general judgment is not high, but the authority is extremely heavy, and it is directly appointed by the emperor, and has the power and responsibility to face the emperor and supervise the local officials, so some strong general judgments can even be played in the applause of the small generals, the governors, so although the general judgment is not high, it is one of the most powerful positions among the local officials.

Jia Rudao was only Meng Yin Tian as a native of Tian Ling, this Tian Ling is from the seventh grade, whether it is grade or authority, it is the most unqualified and streamed official position in the official ranks of the Great Song Dynasty, and even many people don't call it an official, just an official.

The small officials who never entered the stream became such a first-class real power position in Lin'an City, the imperial capital of the Great Song Dynasty, not only completed the promotion that some officials could not complete in their lifetime, but also made a triple jump in the official ranks, which can be regarded as officially stepping into the ranks of intermediate officials in the Great Song Dynasty.

Even if Jia Rudao has already won the first-class jinshi and will soon be awarded an official, but even if this official is the champion, he will only be awarded the position of the magistrate of the seventh grade at most, not to mention the rest of the jinshi who are not the champions.

Therefore, after three days of conferring officials, most of the jinshi of the new department will receive grades and some false official positions, and then they will have nothing to do, waiting to fill in when there is a real shortage or vacancy; Only those scholars who are born in noble families or wealthy families can really get some real shortcomings.

However, although it is said that it is really lacking, most of the grades that are really lacking are hovering from the eighth grade to the seventh grade, and then stay up for two or three years, and only when the qualifications are enough can they be promoted.

It's not that no one has ever been able to get a powerful and extremely important position like Jia Nidao, at least in the last few decades, Jia Nidao has been the first. Even if Shi Songzhi was a jinshi at that time, the powerful Shi Miyuan put Shi Songzhi in the position of a small official first, and he was promoted after two years of training in the local area and his qualifications.

Of course, the situation of Shi Songzhi and Jia Nidao is naturally different. But even if it's different, even if Zhao Yun wants to reuse Jia Yidao, in this case, will it be too urgent?

"Holy Lord, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, please think twice!"
