Who has ever heard of female officials, women as officials is a challenge to a patriarchal society, but also a challenge to social rules, or etiquette.

But Datang has a female official very realistically.

At first, the Tang ladies didn't want to be kept in captivity at home, and under the instigation of Wu Cao and others, they began to fight for some inconsequential and indifferent official positions.

But now, it is helpless in the Tang officialdom.

Because, the number of officials is seriously insufficient, just to Goguryeo, all kinds of civilian officials, large and small official positions have sent more than 1,000 people this time, Jian'an City is no longer under military control, and has officially become a state.

In the early days of Zhenguan, it was definitely enough.

But the emergence of Li Yuanxing has increased this demand by more than ten times.

In addition to being officials, various chambers of commerce, and workshops, the demand for men who are literate, knowledgeable, knowledgeable, and able to manage has increased more than a thousand times, and the first women in power are not the court, but the people.

The demand for chambers of commerce and workshops is too huge. When some talented officials were selected in the surrounding states and counties of Chang'an, many women who had previously worked as stewards in the workshop were also selected to become female officials.

This is also one of the reasons why Qiu Xiang was crowned a seven-rank female official.

After Li Yuanxing Zhenguan was preparing for war in the second year of the New Year, and then starting a war, now the affairs of Liaodong Province cannot be made by the king of Qin.

Li Er and the Ministry of Officials did not tell Li Yuanxing about such a trivial matter.

Speaking of female officials, there is a female official with a good status who is on her way back to her hometown, from Jian'an City to her hometown. It's four hundred miles. The ancient 400 miles are not as good as the modern ones, and the 400 miles here are not as good as the road from Yaozhou to Chang'an. But the real thoughts, when it was time to set off, Jin Manqing took out all his savings.

For nothing else, just that the sergeants who escorted her could travel a little more every day.

Collect money, the sergeants will not.

The captain who led the team said half-jokingly: He is only an eighth-rank captain, and Jin Manqing leads the rank of seventh-rank and does sixth-grade work. It is this difference in status, and he will not refuse this request. But the sergeants worked hard, and His Highness rewarded him with some meat. Every night he took out half a fan and fed the two hundred soldiers. Just take it as a thank you.

In ancient times, there were few oil flowers, and fat meat was good meat.

A big fat pig also weighs two or three hundred catties, one fan is hundreds of catties, and half a fan is more than fifty catties.

This extra meal is really kind.

It's four hundred miles. Set up camp outside on the way. Don't disturb the place. It's just that everyone sends out cavalry to say hello in the counties along the road.

The people on the road were only amazed. They didn't know what kind of big man this was, and they all hid far away.

I only know that this is the nobleman of Datang.

On the afternoon of the third day after departure, he rushed to a place ten miles away from Jin Manqing's hometown. The lieutenant waved his hand: "Stop!" ”

After the team stopped, Captain Pei came to Jin Manqing's carriage:

"Pipekeeper. According to the guide, this is less than ten miles away from your village, and the lower official means to let the brothers drink saliva and rest, and then put the equipment in order, and enter the village is your face, but also the face of Datang! ”

"Thank you all for your hard work!"

Jin Manqing's eyes are red, she is about to go home, she has been away from home for almost ten years, I really don't know if my family is okay?

Jin Manqing didn't know that the people in the village were already in extreme uneasiness at this time.

Datang occupied here, and the officials in the county became officials of Datang. And at noon today, the nobles of the county came to their village, and only told the village chief that a big man had come here, and the local officials were going to greet him. I heard that a noble man from Datang County is coming.

The county magistrate has ordered the villagers to clean the streets.

The son of Datang County is the second-class title of Datang. Four, in fact, are under the three levels of kings, the prince of the country, the prince of the county, the prince of the county, the marquis of the county, the county uncle, the son of the county, and the man of the county. The county was sealed as the founding county, which also belongs to the scholar clan in the Tang Dynasty, at least it is the door of the scholar clan, this sealing is not a joke.

Except for Wu Cao, who was given a false title by the special decree of the two emperors, the rest must be certified by the Ministry of Rites.

The four levels of princes in the Tang Dynasty are the King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty, the princes, and then the heir king (the heir to the prince is the heir king) and the county king. Because the King of Qin is the only one, and it is no longer inherited, there are only three levels of kings in the Tang Dynasty.

There are almost no counties in Goguryeo, and this is a very small county.

Originally, he was a county in a remote county in Jingzhao, a minor official of the ninth grade, and he was promoted five levels in a row to become a county commander from the seventh rank to Goguryeo.

The county order went back and forth in the village, and even the miscellaneous stones at the intersection were ordered to be opened.

This is not a knot, according to the Tang Rites, the official document of the Ministry of Rites. Officials with knighthoods in the Tang Dynasty return to their hometowns and provinces, which requires the local county order to have a courtesy, which is a courtesy. It is also to give a huge face to the meritorious minister with a knighthood.

Why else is it called Yijin to return to his hometown.

What's more, the reigning county order had a special explanation from the Ministry of Rites when he went to work, and the title of Jin Manqing was personally ordered by His Royal Highness the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty and His Royal Highness the Empress of the Eldest Sun of the Tang Dynasty, and there was also a strategic meaning for her to return to her hometown, a petty official would not explain too much, but let him deal with it carefully.

has a six-grade function, but is actually a seven-grade official, and the county order does not dare to be sloppy.

The county magistrate was nervous, which made everyone in the village nervous, and everyone fell into an extremely depressing atmosphere.

Finally, Jin Manqing saw the village and saw the stone tablet in front of the village with the name of the village written.

A stone monument erected here for I don't know how many years. Jin Manqing cried, tears couldn't stop flowing down, and among the people who returned to their hometowns with her, there were no ones who didn't cry at all.

"Newspaper, coming, coming." A small official hurriedly ran over.

The county commander dressed up and walked towards the entrance of the village with his subordinates. Only three of his subordinates were from the Tang Dynasty, and the rest were also selected locally, or officials from the former yamen.

"Stand ...... Correct! After a loud slogan, there was a neat snap, and the Tang people knew that it was the sound of the heels of the Tang sergeant's boots colliding, and they didn't know how much the people of Chang'an liked this sound, which represented the might of the Tang army.

The whole village was at the entrance of the village, they were afraid, and most of them fell to their knees.

At least in the past, the nobles of Goguryeo would beat people and rob people. Those who do not kneel are beaten with whips and even killed.

But a few bold people looked at the team, as if someone in the team was their own family, but they didn't dare to recognize it. In the ranks of the Tang nobles, how could there be their lowly Goguryeo commoners in the ranks.

"Xiaguan, Qingjiao County Orders to welcome Shangguan back to his hometown and province."

Jin Manqing resisted the urge to rush into the village immediately, stepped down from the carriage lightly, and kept in mind the official etiquette of the Tang Dynasty at every step, and returned the Tang official salute in front of the Qingjiao County Order: "There is Lao County's respect to welcome you, and it is really uneasy for this official to return to his hometown to disturb the official affairs of the county." Please accept this official salute! ”

Hearing that it was a woman's voice, everyone in the village raised their heads.

What a woman wears in such luxury.

But that was their Goguryeo dress, and they didn't know what the woman was talking about, but they could feel that the woman was higher than the biggest nobleman here, the county lord of Qingjiao County.

Qingjiao County Commander said softly: "After the official ceremony, the golden pipe doesn't have to worry about anything. If the lower official returns to his hometown, he is afraid that he will pounce in front of his father, so he will return to the county, and if there is any need, please send someone to come. ”

Jin Manqing was speechless, and tears poured out like a spring.

She had already seen her parents kneeling in the crowd, although eight years had passed, and her parents were old, but the faces were carved in the depths of her heart with a knife, the parents who gave birth to her and raised her. The family is poor, and the younger siblings are going to starve to death, as long as they send themselves to the palace and be a lowly maidservant, this is a chance to live.

Eight years, eight whole years.

Jin Manqing was whipped by a female official in the Goguryeo palace eight years ago, then desperately studied medical skills, and then was sent to the north on a business trip with the palace medical officer, and then was captured by the Jing people, and Zuihou became a slave in Yaozhou.

Now, as a seven-rank official of the Tang Dynasty, he has returned home with a wealth comparable to that of the whole county of Qingjiao County.

Jin Manqing was almost fainting.

After the county order left, several female medical workers led by Jin Manqing had fainted from crying.

Jin Manqing couldn't hold back any longer, rushed to her parents, screamed in Goguryeo, and cried loudly, to tell her about the suffering she had suffered over the years, the grievances she had suffered, and the indescribable mood when she saw her parents at this time.

The villagers, who had been scared, were stunned.

They can't understand Chinese, but they can understand Goguryeo.

A woman who even had to be respectful to the Datang County Order actually knelt down in front of the Jin family and his wife, and turned out to be the daughter of the Jin family and his wife, is this a dream?

More people rushed over, they didn't know how many days and nights they had been looking forward to, but they didn't expect to return to their hometowns one day.

The whole village was surrounded by crying.

Killed, bloodied. In the face of the Turkic 100,000 iron cavalry, the Tang lieutenant's eyes were red, and in order not to let people see it, he deliberately turned his head and scolded his subordinates with a black face: "If you don't go to camp immediately, you will be slapped in the face!" ”

The sergeants also had red circles under their eyes. Hearing the command, all the sergeants nodded vigorously, turned around and ordered the camp to begin.

The village is crying in the dark, they are all old neighbors who have lived for hundreds of years, Jin Manqing is the daughter of the village, and she returns to her hometown in fine clothes, and no one is excited about it.

The village is poor. But they were hospitable, and they moved out all the food stocks at home to prepare for entertaining the sergeants of the Tang Dynasty.

The lieutenant smiled heartily and ordered loudly: "Brothers, move the cauldron out." The whole dish in our army, the pork and cabbage stewed vermicelli in the cauldron, the red and white sorghum in the cauldron, the wine was also moved out, and the whole thing was released! ”

"Open up!" Two hundred sergeants opened their throats and responded loudly! (To be continued......)
