Chapter 50: Recruit An
"Haha......" The angel looked up to the sky and smiled, and said casually: "Lord Dazhai, rest assured, the court will not treat the generals badly." ”
"How old is the soldiers and horses in a county!"
"It's just a small official!"
"The master of Dazhai is such a hero, how can he be trapped in this small pond of Yishui?"
"The border military state is the stage for the lord of Dazhai to show his strengths!"
"As for the official position of the lord of Dazhai, he is the captain of Xuanjie, and he is the eighth grade, which is only a little smaller than the magistrate of Yishui County!"
The officials of the Song Dynasty were more expensive, unlike the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations, and the grades were very widespread.
The seven-rank officials in the Song Dynasty were already qualified to participate in the court meeting.
It was Han Shizhong, and it was only after capturing Fang La that he gained a Chengjielang from the ninth grade.
After Song Jiang was recruited, he was only given a vacant position as a pioneer envoy, and he didn't even know the grade, and he didn't have a real position.
From this point of view, Zhao'an Li Ghost gave a martial arts officer of the eighth grade, but in fact, it was still high.
However, Song Jiang kept all his military horses at that time, and I don't know what the imperial court thought, presumably this is one of the conditions for recruiting An.
But the angel said it nicely, but it wasn't like that at all.
How does the rank of a military attache compare with that of a civilian official?
Besides, this Xuanjie lieutenant is a military officer, only with rank, and has no real power.
The official positions of the Song Dynasty were more complex, and evolved step by step from the official system of the Tang Dynasty, which was divided into rank officials and rank officials.
A clerk is a specific position, and the full name is called "minister", also called "sending".
The official title held by an official is called "rank official", also called "local official", "election official" or "Jilu official", which determines the grade of the official, and also determines the basic salary, benefits, status, and treatment, which is equivalent to the administrative level or salary level of later generations.
Many official names just sound good, but the actual grade is low.
For example, Lin Chong is the head of the 800,000 forbidden army, and the "head of the sect" here is the official officer, but when it comes to rank officials, he is a petty official under the ninth grade, and there are more than 5,000 people in the similar head forbidden army, not that Lin Chong alone teaches 800,000 people.
Many people only have rank officials, but no official positions, that is, the kind of people who only take money and do not do things, which is also called "idle officials", "loose officials" or "scattered ranks".
Generally, most of them are belittled and not reused, or some related households of the shadow descendants, and even donate officials, of course, including demoted generals.
The "redundancy" of redundant officials mainly comes from this loose official.
More people are actually "the integration of officials and positions", and the grades and positions corresponding to them are one.
For example, Ding Enlu in the article, the official and the official are all "Yishui Zhixian".
But there are many people who have both rank and position, but the two are completely unrelated.
For example, there is a person named Sun Zhu in the history of the Song Dynasty, and the official is "Yu Qianzhi County", but the official does "edit the books of the Secret Pavilion".
So many people are the same ranks, but the officials are different.
But there are also many people with the same rank, but the rank is different, for example, the same system, depending on the state capital, the grade is different, there are nine grades, and there are nine grades.
The official system of the Song Dynasty can be said to be the most complex in ancient times, and a layman can't understand the mystery at all.
A group of bandits, logically speaking, should not be able to understand at all, and let this angel fool them.
However, this Li ghost is a hanger, a traverser.
Although he had not studied history and did not understand this set very well, he was able to grasp the main contradiction.
Ghost Li frowned, no matter what the angel said, he just asked:
"How many people are there under this official position?"
The angel snorted and pushed:
"The lord of Dazhai can choose other state capitals to serve, in different state capitals, the military situation is different, and the number of soldiers and horses of the same official commander cannot be generalized."
"The specific number of troops under his command will not be known until the master of Dazhai takes office."
"I'm just here to deliver the message, and I don't know about it."
"If the lord of Dazhai wants to fight on the battlefield, it is best to choose a remote military state, close to the national border, and it is easier to make daily meritorious contributions."
He instigated vigorously, wanting to let Ghost Li choose to go to the border, as long as he got to the territory of that group of fighting men, it was none of his business who died or lived.
It's a pity that he didn't know that Li Ghost didn't want to contribute to the country at all and be loyal to the Great Song Dynasty.
I only heard Ghost Li ask again: "When I got there, I was the biggest?" ”
"Uh......" The angel hesitated for a moment, then said lightly: "Only the official family can be called the biggest in this world." ”
"Huh!" Li Ghost sneered, "A certain temper is not good, if he clashed with Shangguan in a few words, and accidentally hacked Shangguan to death, wouldn't it be a waste of the court's painstaking efforts to recruit An?" ”
"If you want to come and go, you still don't go to that big place, and you just want to work in a small town and a small county."
"The soldiers and horses in Yishui County are not bad, and it doesn't hurt to have a low grade, but the main thing is that there is no mother-in-law on the head."
"What does the angel think?"
The angel shook his head with a smile and said, "Yishui County is not a military stronghold, and there has never been a prison of soldiers and horses. ”
"The addition is. If it doesn't work, then it can be changed to the soldiers and horses of other counties. ”
After a moment of silence, the angel shook his head and said, "The holy decree has been made and cannot be changed!" ”
"That's easy! Since each state is chosen by a certain person, then a certain person will continue to stay in Yizhou, and the imperial court will choose a certain position in the Xiang army at will. ”
The angel shook his head again and said, "According to the laws of the imperial court, all officials must serve in different places, except for Yizhou, other states are at their disposal. ”
"Since that's the case, then choose Liangshan County, Yunzhou, and go there to be a soldier and horse prisoner."
The angel was speechless, and after being speechless for a long time, Fang said: "...... The lord of Dazhai does not have the soldiers and horses of the eighth grade, and the soldiers and horses are only eight products. ”
Ghost Li laughed, "Haha...... It's also simple, turn around and make a small mistake, and degrade it to nine grades! ”
Seeing that Ghost Li was obsessed with the imprisonment of soldiers and horses, the angel knew that Ghost Li was a thief and did not forget to grasp military power.
Military power must never be given, but the specific means still need to be considered.
Hard barges are definitely not good, and you can only use a soft knife to cut the meat slowly.
When he entered the system, he knew what it meant to be an official, and it was difficult to take charge of the army again.
At that time, the thieves have been dispersed, and he will fight again, and he will only be alone, so there is nothing to fear.
After the angel hesitated for a while, he finally decided to do Zhao'an first, as for how to clean up this reckless man after that, he had a headache for others.
Thinking of this, the angel smiled and arched his hand:
"This matter has been agreed by the imperial court, and the lord of Dazhai is willing to accept the order?"
Ghost Li stood up, laughed, walked down the steps, waved his big hand, and commanded:
"Brothers, why don't you quickly bring the incense case and other things, and we will welcome the holy decree together?"
The people next to them waited for a long time, and finally waited for this sentence, and then they breathed a sigh of air and put the hanging heart back in their stomachs.
A group of people were busy, and soon everything that had been prepared for a long time was brought out.
After all the people in the cottage had gathered in the square, the angel also took out the holy decree, stood in front of everyone, and recited it loudly.
The petty officials without grades were scattered and assigned to the Yizhou Xiang Army, and all the ones with grades were transferred to other places and arrived within a time limit.
Then the people received the order, and the angel took the place of the court to reward gold, silver, wine, and meat.
This thing is not as good as the benefits distributed in the cottage on weekdays, but the nature is completely different, especially those jars of imperial wine, which are particularly delicious to drink.
Ghost Li himself didn't drink a sip, and gave all of them to his brothers, making the brothers even more grateful.
They didn't know that Ghost Li was testing them for poison, and they didn't know how many generals had died in the imperial wine.
The angel finished the whole process, and accompanied the cottage to feast and drink a few cups, and then took his leave and went down the mountain.
Zhu Fu and the three of them sent people to the bottom of the mountain, respectfully watched the angel's convoy disappear from sight, and then happily returned to the cottage and continued to drink.
After the angel returned to the city, he immediately called Ding Zhixian and urged him to arrange personnel to take over the cottage as soon as possible, and hurry up to break up the pawns, so as not to cause extraneous branches.
