Chapter 193: The Imperial Meeting
It seemed that Zhao Kuangyin was going to be late again, and everyone was used to it, so they waited, while talking nonsense, there were meat and vegetarians, and Song Jiu actually heard a few gray-haired old guys talking about the punctuality of the chicks in the brothel. It turns out that this is the hospital to be missed.
A few old guys came over to scold Song Jiu, this year's out-of-season vegetables are sold cheaply, last year he operated exclusively, and the sale was so expensive, which caused several old gentlemen to spend a lot of unjust money. And several people are very unhygienic, toothbrushes are being promoted, there are shops and inns, but there are also earthen toothbrushes in this era, with the hard bristles of the horse's tail to dig into the mouth, and there are earthen toothbrushes made of willow sticks, Pan Li'er originally used the latter, and later brought back the toothbrush from the Song family.
Although it is a backward toothbrush, but take it out, the mouth will be a little more hygienic, these old guys don't dig out, although the leakage yard is big, this is a big court meeting, more than 400 Beijing officials came, the air was not very good, and then sprayed at Song Jiu, Song Jiu was about to faint.
This is not a hospital to be missed, but a big vegetable market.
After waiting for a while, the eunuch passed the minister to the audience, more than 400 officials rushed in, in front of Zhao Pu and Li Chongju to escort the class, Wenchen followed behind Zhao Pu, the military general followed behind Li Chongju, the early Tang Dynasty system was to supervise the imperial history of the class, after the Kaiyuan ceremony was the Zhongshu and the door of the class, Zhao Pu concurrently served as the Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhang Affairs, so Li Chongju took the military general's class, and occasionally participated in the governor's political affairs instead of the prime minister. Standing in the column, Song Jiu actually found that he was still standing in the middle position, and it was the front position in the middle. Then he looked around to see if there were any young officials in front of him, and really asked him to find a dozen people in their twenties, but they were really in their twenties, and some were only thirty years old. There are also officials who resemble him or are smaller than him. But all stood behind him. There were more than a hundred people in front, and none of them were younger than him.
This look made him even more creepy. I wondered in my heart, no. I'm about to become a bird, and sooner or later I'm going to be shot.
Zhao Kuangyin came out.
The Minister gave a salute.
Begin to play things, some things are big, some things are small, if Zhao Kuangyin attaches importance to it, he will submit the recital, and Zhao Kuangyin will take a closer look. If you don't look at it, you should also keep it on file. It's not so easy to play, if you can get the emperor's attention, remember your name. In the future, you will be able to rise to the top. But if you don't play well, you can get into trouble. There is also a kind of recital, that is, a secret recital for the emperor alone, and the one who has this right is the emperor's confidant minister, and the other is the important minister. These two items don't seem to have anything to do with Song Jiu, even if he is Zhao Kuangyin's peach blossom.
The toss did not last long, and Zhao Kuangyin announced the dissolution of the dynasty.
Song Jiu followed Chu Zhaofu to the Third Division. On the way, Chu Zhaofu said solemnly: "Song Jiu, when you arrive at the Third Division, some confidential affairs must not be leaked. ”
"Envoy Chu. I know this, Xu Huifei's younger brother Xu Qi, was demoted because he was drunk and leaked forbidden whispers when he was hired as a member of Xitaishe. ”
"Are you talking about Tang Taizong's Concubine Xu Hui?"
"That's her."
"She has a younger brother?"
"Yes, that's what I said about Xu Qipin, Xu Qipin also has a son Xu Jian."
"Xu Jian, I know. Tang Liudian and the Kaiyuan ceremony both had him participated. Song Jiu, you know a lot about history books. ”
"I don't know about it, last year I had to prepare a strategy for the people to be displaced in the west. Evil makes up for a piece of historical knowledge. But if you don't look at it for a long time, it won't be many years. It will all be forgotten again. Envoy Chu, what are my duties as a judge? ”
"Judge Wang. Tell him about it. ”
"Yes."
The three divisions are mainly the three departments, the seven cases of the salt and iron department, the soldiers, the army, the commercial tax, the salt, the tea, the iron, and the set. Each case will be in charge of many affairs, such as the iron case is in charge of gold, silver, copper, iron, cinnabar, alum, green alum, charcoal, tin, drum casting, and the case is in charge of saving money, meal money, sheep and pigs, rice noodles, charcoal, pottery and other things. Eight cases of the degree of support, reward, money and silk, grain, Changping, shipping, riding case, Hu Dou, hundred officials. Each case is also in charge of many things, such as rewarding and giving gifts, gifts, food, internal and external spring and winter clothes, seasonal clothes, silk, Luo, yarn, silk, cotton, cloth, shoes, mats, paper, dyes, markets, power and property, and officials of the three governments. Hundreds of officials are in charge of the Beijing Dynasty official offerings, ancestral sacrifice gifts, and state post materials. Five cases of household department, household tax, supply, construction, curved case, food and clothing.
In fact, everything Song Jiu did, ninety percent had a handover with the three divisions. Iron and steel is in the iron case, sake making is in the qu case, the commercial tax is in the commercial tax case, the castle tax is also in the commercial tax case, and the manufacture of various equipment is in the construction case. This is also the reason why Zhao Kuangyin finally dropped Song Jiufa to the third division. There are also auxiliary or supervisory agencies such as the Department of Demolition and Demolition, the Department of Hooking, the Department of Urging and Driving, the Division of Undertakings, and the Division of Involvement. In fact, each ministry has internal directors and officials, supervision officials, and accounting officials, which are self-contained.
The Auxiliary Division then performs support and oversight functions.
Then it was the matter of the three envoys, the edict came, how to carry it out, handed it over to the ministries, and the judges and deputy envoys assisted on the side. The accounts are cleared and reviewed by each department and reported to the three envoys, and the judge again assists the three envoys to check and make a final review of the doubtful accounts.
This statement is clear to Song Jiu, that is, the assistant manager, he has served and understands ......
Dare to be so analogous.
It can be compared, almost, but more than that.
But depending on how you look at it, the envoy of the three divisions has the right to intervene in the affairs of the three departments, but the judge of the three divisions cannot, he only has the right to ask questions. In fact, after layers of review and supervision, there is basically no doubt in the hands of the three envoys.
The group came to the three divisions, each back to each department, Song Jiu was curious all the way to the baby and asked, the officials of the various ministries laughed and laughed, but when they arrived at the three divisions, they were not in one place, and they went to their own places, Chu Zhaofu and Judge Wang, Song Jiu stayed in this place is the hub center of the three divisions, and there are a few experienced officials who handed over a stack of documents to Judge Wang and Song Jiu.
Song Jiu opened it and looked at it, he didn't understand anything just now, so he pushed it all to Judge Wang and said, "Senior, you still come, I'll study." ”
Judge Wang thought about it, and finally took all the copywriting, watched them one by one, and agreed, where there was no doubt, he handed it over to Chu Zhaofu, and Chu Zhaofu opened it and looked at it again, and even Song Jiu suspected that he didn't read it at all, just made a look, and then stamped it with a big seal.
The various officials continued to be busy, and Chu Zhaofu began to drink tea and chat with Judge Wang. Song Jiu said, "Envoy Chu, can I take a look around." ”
"Okay, Liu Laogang. Take Judge Song for a walk. ”
"Huh," an old official took Song Jiu around to look around. Similar to the three divisions, it is not the officials who are the busiest. It was all the little officials, Song Jiu also saw that his two students were busy, one student was lying in the sea of accounts in the case mountain to settle the account, he didn't notice him coming, the other student saw it, Song Jiu waved his hand, signaling him not to speak, this is not an occasion for friendship. Actually, there are more than just these two students. Distributed together to various institutions under the three divisions.
This is only the brain of the three divisions, and there are more departments below, including various field affairs, mines, and fields, but the functions are very vague, and some states can also participate in the history of the assassination, this kind of layer of overhead and ambiguity is also a major feature of the official system of the Song Dynasty, otherwise there will be no two major redundancy. Redundant officials and redundant government!
After walking around and having a general understanding of the three divisions, Song Jiu said, "Envoy Chu, can you let me take a look at the file?" ”
"Okay. Look," Chu Zhaofu was talking to Judge Wang about how good the head of the line in a hook column was, and said casually. Song Jiu flipped through it. The clerk delivered lunch, that is, breakfast. Generally, all ministries and departments have breakfast at 11 o'clock, that is, lunch. I usually don't go to the morning court. All the officials are prepared, buy a little in the morning and eat it early, and then come to the ministries to be on duty. If it is early, then get up early, otherwise people will be hungry until noon. Song Jiu suffered a little loss this time, he didn't understand anything, but he was hungry and devoured a meal. Then I continued to look through and saw a lot, including the total amount of class iron before the end of September this year, and the October one has not yet been reported. Nine months of iron reached more than six million catties, Song Jiu said after looking at it, no wonder he used so much steel, and no minister gossiped. I saw a confidential document again, the Yushitai asked the three divisions to assist in the investigation of Wang Quanbin's corruption case, and it was rumored that it was more than 600,000 yuan, and it was clearly found out here, without the word greedy ink, but used to take and receive, hidden, a total of more than 646,800 yuan, and the treasures of the Shu Palace and the outer mansion It has no authors because it is not easy to check, and Zhao Kuangyin did not let the Yushitai check it, and it is not within this more than 600,000. If you include them, it may be more than 700,000, more than 800,000. It is not like the 400,000 announced in Zhao Kuangyin's edict.
Song Jiu muttered, "The old king should be killed." ”
This is the beginning of the Song Dynasty, and a country's annual income is only more than 10 million yuan, even if it is placed in the back, the annual income can exceed 100 million yuan, which is not a lot.
Song Jiu was watching, and Chu Zhaofu stood over and said, "Song Jiu, it's time to go." ”
"Ah, so fast," Song Jiu looked up and looked at the sun, the sun was still high, besides, it was winter.
"You want to be on duty, you can."
"I don't want to," Song Jiu flipped his legs and ran away. When Chu Zhaofu came to the palace, he was not necessarily drinking tea and chatting, he was also observing, and then reported to Zhao Kuangyin.
Zhao Kuangyin sighed deeply: "Gongchen, in fact, there are many similarities between governance and marching operations, first of all, you must receive orders, where you will fight this battle, and then enter the army to observe, and then understand." Many officials do not know the importance of the matter, and when they take office, they immediately let go and decide the matter, and such confused officials will be obsessed with everyone sooner or later. Grind it, I observed it early in the morning, and his age was too conspicuous to stand in front. ”
"The official family is a little smaller."
"I'm not in a hurry to use him, just grinding, besides, the academy hasn't been built yet, and it will take at least six or seven years for his students to dig out his knowledge, and at that time the academy will be able to be independent, and his age will keep up, and it's time to use it." Zhao Kuangyin dared to take mathematics, physics, chemistry and science as a treatise, not for six or seven years, sixty or seventy years!
"The minister understands, so ......"
"Don't worry about him, don't teach him, let him figure it out for himself. This is the candidate I picked, I still want to hone a few people, these people are not for now, now there are you, there are rules for them, it doesn't matter if the country is a problem, but the talents behind must also keep up. ”
"For the future of the Great Song Dynasty."
"Exactly."
"I understand." Chu Zhaofu said that he reported to Zhao Kuangyin and asked Zhao Kuangyin to judge, and he had to listen to it himself, so as to position Song Jiu.
When Song Jiu returned home, many people, including the Pan family brothers and Pan Li'er, came together. None of his students who stayed at school moved and all of them came. It was not strange that the Yanai were here, Song Jiu looked at the more than a hundred students and asked, "Why did you come together?" ”
Qin Wazi smiled and said, "We worshipped your husband." ”
"My sir?"
"It's to go to the temple to worship the statue of Einstein, and then come together to congratulate Mr. Jiu."
It doesn't matter if you worship Einstein or not, Song Jiu looked at these students and said, "I understand, why I graduated this time, I am not as sad as last year." (To be continued......)
