At last night's poetry meeting, Liu Xu's lyrics once again caused quite a stir. But when everyone was looking for Liu Xu and wanted to meet this first-time genius in Qingzhou, who was always the first genius of Qingzhou, Liu Xu once again left in advance, he didn't like to be watched. Liu Xu knows that his level is limited, and if there is someone who doesn't open his eyes and comes to compete with him, he will be embarrassed.
And Tang Wei's words and Liu Piaopiao's song undoubtedly fell behind again in last night's competition. came prepared, attacked Yunzhu unprepared, but still lost, and the two were slapped in the face again by Liu Xu's lyrics. Tang Wei couldn't help but hate Liu Xu even more in his heart, and secretly vowed to find an opportunity to clean up Liu Xu.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today, Liu Xu is going to the state government to follow Kou Zhun to do things!
When Liu Xu came to the back hall of the state ya, Kou Zhun was talking to two middle-aged people in the hall.
When Kou Zhun saw Liu Xu coming in, he smiled and said to the two middle-aged people: "Ah, this is the author of "The Qingyu Case" last night!" "Kou Zhun was also a guest in Runyuan last night, and the first time he saw Liu Xu's "Qingyu Case" copied by others.
The two middle-aged people sitting in the hall are the two masters hired by Kou Zhun, one is named Hong Qing, who is the famous master of the criminal family; One is named Wu Bochuan, who is the master of money and grain. This morning, when the three of them talked about the poems of last night's poetry meeting, they inevitably mentioned Liu Xu's masterpiece "The Qingyu Case".
Liu Xu saluted Kou Zhun first and said, "I've seen Master Kou!" He saluted to the two middle-aged people who he didn't know, and said, "I've seen two adults! ”
The two middle-aged men hurriedly returned the salute: "You can't be called an adult here!" ”
At this time, Kou Zhun opened his mouth and said, "Erlang, let me introduce you." Saying that, Kou Zhun pointed to the middle-aged man who was a little taller and dignified, and said, "This is Master Hong Qinghong, the master of money and grain of the state government." Then he pointed to the middle-aged man who was a little shorter and had a beautiful hair under his chin: "This is Wu Bochuan Wu, the criminal master of the state government." ”
Saying that, Kou Zhun pointed at Liu Xu and said, "This is Liu Xu and Liu Erlang that I talked to the two of you!" ”
The three of them listened to Kou Zhun's introduction and got to know each other officially.
When they officially met, Kou Zhun said: "In the future, Erlang, you will come to the state government to be a scribe, temporarily follow the two masters to familiarize yourself with some general affairs, learn from the two of them with an open mind, and learn some skills!" ”
Liu Xu hurriedly stepped forward to meet the two masters and said, "In the future, I will ask the two gentlemen for more guidance!" ”
Both of them smiled and said: "Erlang is polite, Erlang is talented, we are afraid that we are not capable enough to teach Erlang!" ”
Speaking of masters, we have to talk about the staff system. The shogunate industry has a long history in China. "Zhou Li" contains: "The six officials, the six armies and the subordinates of the officials, the majority are ordered to the imperial court, and the second is self-extermination. "Xia Shang's minister, the two-week soldier," is lowly and sees the letter, and the position is humble and heavy. "It's the beginning of the staff. During the Warring States Period, some talented people, coerced their skills and strategies, ran around, and were mostly hired as guests and housekeepers by candidates from all over the world, showing that the curtain guest system has gradually taken shape. During the Qin and Han dynasties, the style of raising scholars and repelling customers evolved. "The ministers of the Han clan and the county guards have to raise their own subordinates, and after Zhongxing, they are especially prosperous." At the end of the Han Dynasty, the warlords of various factions of the wealthy clans, supporting the division of troops, fierce melee, in order to ensure their own development, they fought to recruit the people and scholars of the world, and the staff system developed.
Sui Shi Strike County, Zhizhou Tong County. Change the don't drive praise to the long history Sima. After Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty, there were regimental training defense envoys and jiedu envoys in various places, and 2 judges and 1 secretary were allowed. "At the beginning of the Five Dynasties, all parties were still in charge of the secretary. Cover the group of heroes, compete for victory, although the book is also shameful. Those who seek the country also look at whether their country can win the warrior or not, and for a time they will extend their favor to the famous people to light the shogunate. ”
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the power of the feudal towns led to the decline of the central power, which led to the rulers of the Northern Song Dynasty to make many measures against the staff system: the employment method was changed from self-establishment to central appointment; The number is indeterminate and has been renumbered by post. The biggest change is to weaken the position of the staff, so that their function has shifted from being able to encroach on the principal officials and make decisions on government affairs to assisting the officials in managing the administration. Since then, the staff has gradually decoupled from the officials and become the rulers of the staff. The Yuan and Ming dynasties basically followed the Song system. The Qing Dynasty clearly stipulated that the chief seals of all provinces, provinces, prefectures, prefectures, prefectures, and counties and those who presided over the administration of schools were appointed by the central government. Therefore, the master and the official have no administrative subordination, but one guest and one host. The master's income is only a letter of appointment, not a letter of appointment. It can be seen that the staff system has gone through such a tortuous road from recruitment to appointment and from appointment to employment.
All in all, in a word, in a word, the chief officials before the Song Dynasty opened the government and built the government, and their staff members were administrative superiors and subordinates, while the staff after the Song Dynasty belonged to the chief official self-employment, not in the establishment of court officials, and belonged to the host-guest relationship.
Therefore, Hong Qing and Wu Bochuan were hired by Kou Zhun himself, and of course their salaries were also paid by Kou Zhun, and the imperial court did not care. There is no administrative subordination between Hong Qing and Wu Bochuan and Kou Zhun, but a relationship between one guest and one host.
In the Song Dynasty, there were many types of masters, according to their functions and the nature of their work, there were criminal masters who specialized in criminal and civil cases, Qian Gu masters who handled financial and tax affairs, folded masters who were responsible for drafting and writing songs, Shuqi masters who were in charge of correspondence, registered masters who were responsible for approving and registering documents, and masters who were responsible for inspection and assessment and collection of land taxes. And Hong Qing and Wu Bochuan belong to the two types of masters who are most widely employed, the master of money and grain and the master of criminal name, and they are also the masters with the most counselors in a state.
Kou Zhun arranged for Liu Xu to be a scribe and study with the two state government masters, obviously wanting Liu Xu to become familiar with the state government affairs as soon as possible and exercise his ability to deal with various affairs.
From the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Liu Xu officially took office as Kou Zhun's staff in the state government, and officially began to learn to deal with various general affairs with Hong Qing and Wu Bochuan.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the sixteenth day of the first month, Liu Xu officially took office in the Qingzhou Prefecture Ya, which was a small matter for the entire Great Song Dynasty.
However, on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, thousands of miles away in the Great Song Dynasty Chengdu Mansion, there was an incident that shocked the entire Great Song Dynasty!
In the first month of the fifth year of Chunhua (994), Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun's rebel army stormed Chengdu, defeated the official army, and the Dongshang Hemen made Guo Zai and the transfer make Fan Zhigu escape, and Lu Bin returned to Zizhou to inspect the twelve prefectures, and the rebel army conquered Chengdu Mansion. On the sixteenth day of the first month, the rebel army officially established the Dashu regime in Chengdu, Li Shun was called the king of Dashu, the year name should be lucky, and the rebel army was tattooed with the words "Yingyun Xiongjun". At the same time, Li Shun sent troops to plunder everywhere, reaching as far north as Jianmen Pass, and as far south as Wuxia.
