Chapter 21: The Taishi Bureau (Addition)
Chang'an officialdom has one more point to talk about, Maoshan Dao Chang prayed for rain successfully, has great magical powers, and was left in the palace by the two saints to participate in the night banquet.
However, this news is clearly outdated.
Regarding the fact that Xiaodao Chang is the nephew of the queen of heaven, it first spread in a certain circle, and then went down little by little, until it spread throughout the officialdom of Chang'an.
Dressed in a cyan robe, symbolizing the spirit of the Oriental Qingyang, his posture is straight, his temperament is mysterious and secluded, and he has a high rate of turning back when walking on the street.
The place where the Taishi Bureau is located is the same as the six departments of the three provinces, all of which are in the imperial city.
It is true that it is far away from the forbidden palace where the emperor, the crown prince, the harem concubines, and the palace lady live, but the guards are still strict, and the entry and exit must be based on the body, because this is something that symbolizes the official rank.
Wupin Dynasty Doctor Dispersion Official Rank......
One thing to say, it's not worth much.
After all, nearly 60 years have passed since the founding of the country, three or four generations have spread out, various major ceremonies have been rewarded, and the gold content has declined at a rate visible to the naked eye.
However, with a strong aunt, Meng Fan naturally will not be stopped, just because he has a card on his waist.
Made of gold and jade, painted with dragons and phoenixes.
Although I don't know the specific meaning, it is never a problem to enter and leave the imperial city at will, even if it is to go to the Forbidden Palace...... I'm afraid it's not a big deal.
The sun is shining and the temperature is pleasant.
Walking on the wide road, Meng Fan looked extraordinarily leisurely, incompatible with the tense atmosphere in the city.
The benevolent brothers, who are about to be late, are eager to have two more legs at this moment, and some of the brothers who have already completed their response and gone to run errands are also in a hurry.
"Take a bath once in ten days, and you have to go to work before dawn, and it is not easy for civil servants in the Tang Dynasty."
Between whispers, Meng Fan came to a large courtyard, this was the Taishi Bureau, and the landmark building was a nine-story attic, which was already higher than the walls of the imperial city.
To tell the truth, this is a thing beyond cognition, if it is placed in a normal dynasty, there is a suspicion of spying on the secrets of the court and the palace, it will be demolished at the lightest, and the head will be killed!
But there are ghosts and gods and cultivators in this world, and high-ranking officials and nobles have luck protection, and the royal family is even more so.
"Did you hear that? There is a high-level mage from Maoshan who has been appointed by the sage as Taishi Ling."
"yes, it's been seven years, and the position has been vacant for seven years, and finally someone has inherited it."
Two green-robed petty officers who were proficient in calculus sighed.
At the moment, they are drinking tea in the courtyard, because it is not yet busy time, and they will talk about what kind of calendar they will make next year, until late autumn.
"Last night, the dragon god appeared, and the relationship between our new Taishi Ling is too exaggerated."
"I'm so sleepy, there was an abnormality in the Dog Ridge last night, if you don't send me over to investigate, it's really unlucky, I didn't find anything after watching all night, if I hadn't heard about the news of the new Taishi Ling, I would have gone home and slept directly."
There is more and more talk.
As far as Meng Fan is concerned, everyone is very idle.
"I hope that person is a good person, don't learn from those officials every day."
"Probably not, there wasn't much to do, and before Li Chunfeng didn't have an autopsy, he did nothing."
"Maoshan Dao people who can have such means are estimated to be about to soar, and they don't have the time to manage mundane affairs."
"I don't know, if he wants to soar with merit, pity our leisure......
Meng Fan: "......"
A new broom sweeps clean.
Although his appointment has not been officially issued now, he uses stealth techniques during working hours and enters the Taishi Bureau to listen to his subordinates arrange themselves.
Is it good to appear?
Or do you pretend you haven't been?
Or, come back at another time.
It is true to see, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the work status of the Taishi Bureau in this way:
The money is 16,000, and the monthly payment is more than enough.
There is no food and clothing, and there are few people to restrict.
Last night, I heard the crown prince Li Xian give the foundation of the officials of this dynasty
This welfare, in addition to Lu, that is, cash, also has Lu rice and job fields.
Needless to say, the former is rice for eating, but the type is not limited to rice, it can be other staple foods, it can also be meat, and it can even be exchanged for cash of equal value.
The latter is a different rank, how many acres of land are given, you can hire people to cultivate, or you can directly sublease it.
Among them, the five-grade official has a whole 600 acres.
In addition, there is also a kind of Mingmu called the force class, and after the end of the agricultural work every year, adult men are served in the government to take care of the homes and serve as guards, which is called:
Clothing.
The first-rank officials are equipped with ninety-six people, the nine-rank officials are two, and the Taishi Ling officials live in the five ranks, and they can be assigned to twenty-four young and strong guards according to the rules, although they can't wear armor, but they can carry knives with them.
It is worth mentioning that there are two systems of ministry officials and loose officials, so Meng Fan can enjoy double benefits.
Due to the strong national strength and the relative wealth of the people, many men who should come to Chang'an to serve, because of their solid family background, are unwilling to be inferior and take care of the family and nursing home, so they simply pay money directly to exempt them, which is allowed by the imperial court, and there are clear regulations: two hundred yuan per month.
And a mutton sesame hu cake, two money.
It just so happened that Meng Fan didn't need someone to serve or guard, just notify the other side to pay the money when the time came.
Think about it this way...... It's good to get up early to go to work, and the salary is convenient.
"Tai Shi Ling."
Meng Fan was struggling with how to contact his new colleagues, when an old man suddenly spoke.
He was tall and thin, wearing a wide official robe, with a sense of immortal style, especially his eyebrows, slender and white, fluttering in the wind.
Until then, the old man had been sitting on the stone steps of the observatory, his eyes closed, and he was sleeping.
"I didn't expect a master to be in charge."
Since he was called out of his identity, he didn't have anything to see, so he simply showed up.
"Tai Shi Ling."
"Tai Shi Ling."
A group of young people in green robes who drank tea stood up and saluted one after another, most of them were half-Taoist and half-Confucian, cultivating both veins, and their cultivation was not bad.
In addition, there is a Taoist master with a white beard in charge, and Qin Tianjian has not had a chief official for several years, and it can still operate normally, which is normal.
"No need to be polite, this official has not yet taken office, so I am curious for a while, let's take a look at the situation."
Meng Fan responded with a smile, he was not a person who liked to blame his subordinates.
Next, I really have a simple meeting, get to know each other, know how many people I have under my command, how many departments can be subdivided, and what their respective responsibilities are, so as not to be smeared after taking office.
The old man who is second only to himself is from a casual cultivation background, surnamed Huang, because after the mention of Li Chunfeng, the former Taishi Ling, he has also obtained part of Yuan Tiangang's inheritance.
Therefore, he served as the secretary of the six products and has been in charge of various activities over the years.
The second member of the calendar, the seventh product, is the guy who is idle all day long, and the guy who started to gossip, is responsible for updating the national calendar.
Four supervisors, seven products, in groups of two, take turns to observe and interpret the celestial phenomena, and record them on time.
Five people, eight products, and a single group of people to watch the wind usually patrol Chang'an and its surroundings to ensure that there are no demons, ghosts, ghosts, or related incidents.
In addition, the calendar, astronomy, omission, and vision, each set up the post of nine rank doctorate, with a total of 32 people, which is somewhat similar to the modern doctorate, that is, one purely refers to a certain field of erudition, and the other is linked to a degree.
The above is all the team of Meng Fan in the future.
