Chapter 104: Viewing the Ceremony (2)

As we all know, there are four colors of official uniforms in the Great Song Dynasty, which are purple, red, green, and blue. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Among them, from the third to the first rank wear purple official uniforms, from the fifth to the fourth grade wear red official uniforms, from the seventh to the sixth rank wear green official uniforms, and from the ninth to the eighth rank wear blue official uniforms, of which the first product is the largest and the ninth rank is the smallest.

In other words, the officials here are all officials from the fifth rank at the minimum, and they are equivalent to the governors of a state when they are put outside, and the people in purple official uniforms that Zhao Gu saw were naturally high-ranking officials from the third rank or above.

Zhao Gu was secretly frightened, Li Fu made this greenhouse harvest ceremony very heavy, and so many officials came.

And the officials were all taken aback when they suddenly saw Zhao Gu, a young man in regular clothes, coming, and secretly said where did this master come from, he was actually wearing regular clothes on such a formal occasion today, and it was also a set of regular clothes that had been washed and were somewhat whitish.

At this time, Li Fu walked out of the lobby of the inner courtyard, happened to see Zhao Gu, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, you are here." ”

Zhao Gu smiled: "I've seen Master Li." ”

Li Fu nodded, and then welcomed Zhao Gu in, directly stunned the officials waiting in the courtyard.

You must know that many officials came to the greenhouse this time, but the inner courtyard is only that big after all, and it is indeed very comfortable to sit in the lobby, but not everyone can enter, at least they don't have that qualification.

And this young man who looks very ordinary actually let Li Fu personally invite him in, what is his identity?

After Zhao Gu and the others left, these officials immediately discussed, and they were all very curious about Zhao Gu's identity.

But no matter how they guessed, none of the officials could guess Zhao Gu's identity.

As soon as he entered the lobby, Zhao Gu found again that this inner courtyard was still just a disguise, and the real inner courtyard was actually in this inner courtyard.

I saw that in this inner courtyard, there was a wide courtyard, and around this courtyard, there were pavilions and vertical and horizontal waterways, and outside these pavilions and waterways, there was the courtyard wall of the inner courtyard.

There is a vacant lot in this courtyard, the area is also not small, there are ten greenhouses on it, each about twenty meters long, rows are tied on the clearing, and from a distance it looks like a silver dragon.

Through the sunlight, Zhao Gu vaguely saw that there was a green light in the ten greenhouses, which seemed to be cabbage or daylily or something like that.

When Zhao Gu observed, Li Fu didn't interrupt him, and it wasn't until he withdrew his gaze that Li Fu made a gesture of please.

Zhao Gu smiled apologetically, and Li Fu led him to one of the pavilions.

There were already two officials in purple official uniforms in this pavilion, and when they saw Li Fu coming, they all stood up and hugged their fists, and then their eyes fell on Zhao Gu.

Zhao Gu noticed that there was no trace of awe in the eyes of the two of them looking at Li Fu, it could be seen that their official position was not lower than Li Fu, which couldn't help but make Zhao Gu slightly surprised.

How high is Li Fu's official position?

According to Zhao Gu's speculation, Li Fu is the right counselor, and he also holds the position of Yin of Kaifeng Prefecture, and his official position is at least from the second grade, so doesn't it mean that the official positions of these two people are at least from the second grade?

From the second grade, this is equivalent to the vice governor or vice minister of China in later generations! There were three of them all at once!

Zhao Gu didn't know that when he was secretly surprised by the official positions of these two officials, their hearts were also fluctuating, just because Zhao Gu was just wearing a regular uniform, and he was personally invited in by Li Fu.

Doesn't this mean that the young man in front of him has to take even Li Fu seriously?

The most important thing is that these two high-ranking officials have never heard of such a person as Zhao Gu before, could it be that he is the illegitimate son of a certain prince? Or is it a high-ranking official from a neighboring country?

"Master Li, who is this?" The two high-ranking officials laughed, and one of them asked.

Li Fu replied: "This is Mr. Zhao Gu Zhao, who invented the greenhouse technology." ”

The two nodded, and then figured out the joint, it turned out that this is the invention of greenhouse technology, six peerless poems Zhao Gu of Luoyang's ten sons!

The two officials didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and also hugged their fists towards Zhao Gu.

Zhao Gu didn't know how to hold it up, and he also hugged his fists and returned the salute: "The two adults don't have to be like this, in the white clothes of the lower district, where can they afford the two of them." ”

It was still the person who spoke before who said: "Mr. Zhao is too modest, with this greenhouse technology alone, you can deserve the respect of everyone except the emperor today, and the old man and wife really deserve to hold your fists." ”

Li Fu explained to Zhao Gu: "These two adults are both officials of the three envoys, serving in the household department and the salt and iron department respectively, and they are both the second-in-command. ”

Zhao Gu suddenly realized that the department where these two people were located was the last capable person of greenhouse technology!

According to Zhao Gu's understanding, although the Song Dynasty inherited the Tang system and had three provinces and six departments, in addition to the Zhongshu Provincial Capital, the other eight departments basically did not set up the supreme governor, and they usually did not have directors at all, and they belonged to the façade that was placed there as decorations.

The reason why this was done was because the Great Song Dynasty upheld the principle of surrender or not killing, which led to the surrender of the emperors and courtiers of the divided country at that time, and the Great Song Dynasty unified half of the world.

So what should be done with these people after they surrender?

Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi didn't dare to kill them, for fear of arousing public outrage, and they couldn't ignore them, and they made others laugh at them.

And the other eight departments of the three provinces and six departments, except for Zhongshu Province, became the best choice for the two, so they stuffed these subordinates into it, and sealed them with special seals, but they didn't give them real power.

Because they were worried that these officials had different thoughts, Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi didn't dare to use them, but the three provinces and six ministries could tolerate them, and there was no other position, so who should handle the military affairs in the world?

At this time, the Privy Council and the three envoys came into being, of which the Privy Council was in charge of the military, the three envoys were in charge of the country's finances, and the highest officials of the three envoys were commonly known as Ji Xiang.

As for the Zhongshu Province, which is the only province that retains power, it is naturally the department in charge of the prime minister.

The Great Song Dynasty was in charge of these three departments, and no one could order anyone, and no one could suppress anyone.

The household department mentioned by Li Fu is not one of the six departments, but one of the three divisions, and the three divisions divide the CCP into three divisions: salt and iron, household department, and degree branch, of which the salt and iron department is in charge of the world's salt and iron, and the household department is in charge of the world's household registration, land measurement, taxation, etc., and the degree branch division is responsible for managing the money collected by these two divisions.
