Chapter 193: Court Meeting
It seemed that Zhao Kuangyin was about to be late again, and everyone was used to it, so they waited and talked nonsense, and there were all kinds of meat and vegetables. Song Jiu actually heard a few old guys with gray hair talking about the girl in the brothel. It turned out that this was the wait-to-be-breaking yard.
A few old guys came over to scold Song Jiu. This year, the vegetables sold in the off-season, were sold at a low price last year. Last year, he sold them exclusively, which made several old men spend a lot of money. Moreover, the few people were very unhygienic. Toothbrushes were promoted, including in-stores and inns, but in this era, there were also local toothbrushes, which were used to draw the hard bristles of the ponytail into their mouths, and also local toothbrushes made of willow sticks. Pan Lian'er used the latter type and later took them back from the Song family.
Although it was a backward toothbrush, it would make your mouth feel more hygienic when you took it out. These old guys didn't take any of them. Although the courtyard was large, it was a big court meeting. More than 400 Beijing officials came. The air was not good at all, so they sprayed Song Jiuyi and Song Jiu almost fainted.
It turns out that this is not a wait-out courtyard, but a large vegetable market.
After waiting for a while, the eunuchs told the ministers to meet him. More than 400 officials came in one after another. In front were Zhao Pu and Li Chongju, civil officials followed Zhao Pu, and military generals followed Li Chongju. In the early Tang Dynasty, the system was the supervisory and censors, and after Kaiyuan Li, the Zhongshu and the Juniors were the Zhongshu and the Juniors. Zhao Pu also served as Pingzhang, so Li Chongju held the military generals' squad, and occasionally the head office of the Prime Minister. He was the generals' squad, and occasionally the head office of the Prime Minister. He was the second and second, and Song Jiu found himself standing in the middle and was in the front position in the middle. Then he looked around to see if there were any young officials in front, and he really asked him to find more than a dozen people in his twenties, but they were actually in their twenties, some of whom were only thirty years old. There were also officials who seemed to be younger than him. But they were all standing behind him. There were more than a hundred people in front, and none of them were younger than him.
This made him even more creepy. He thought to himself, it wouldn't work. He was about to become a leader and would be shot sooner or later.
Zhao Kuangyin came out.
The minister saluted.
When you start to report things, some things are big and some things are small. If Zhao Kuangyin pays attention to it, submit the memorial and Zhao Kuangyin will take a closer look. The memorials that do not read must be kept archived. The memorials are not so easy to report. If you can report things, remember your name. You will be able to rise up in the future. But if you don’t make good contributions, you can also cause trouble. There is also a kind of memorial, which is a secret memorial to the emperor alone. The ones who have this right are the emperor’s confidant ministers and the other are important officials. These two seem to have nothing to do with Song Jiu, even if he is Zhao Kuangyin’s peach blossoms.
After not long struggle, Zhao Kuangyin announced the severance of the dynasty.
Song Jiu followed Chu Zhaofu to the Sansi. On the way, Chu Zhaofu said solemnly: "Song Jiu, when you arrive at the Sansi, some confidential matters must not be disclosed."
"I know this. Xu Huifei's younger brother Xu Qipin was demoted for leaking his whispers during his drunkenness when he was a servant of Xitai."
"You are talking about Concubine Xu Hui, Emperor Taizong of Tang?"
"It's her."
"She has a younger brother?"
"Yes, it's what I'm talking about. Xu Qipin has a son Xu Jian."
"I know Xu Jian. He participated in the Liudian of Tang and Kaiyuan Li. Song Jiu, do you know a lot about historical books."
"I can't say I understand it. Last year, I had to prepare for the plan to escape from Bashu and make up for some historical knowledge. But if I haven't read it for a long time, it won't take many years. I will forget it all. Chu Si Envoy, what is my duty as a judge?"
"Judge Wang, tell him."
"Affect the order."
The three departments are mainly three departments, the Ministry of Salt and Iron, seven cases, soldiers, helmets, commercial taxes, salt, tea, iron, and set up. Each case will be in charge of many affairs, such as iron case, gold, silver, copper, iron, cinnabar, alum, green alum, charcoal, tin, drum casting, setting up the case for the joints, vegetarian coins, meal coins, sheep, pigs, rice, flour, firewood, charcoal, pottery and other things. The eight cases of the division, rewards, money, silk, grain, Changping, shipping, riding cases, hu Dou, and all officials. Each case also manages many affairs, such as rewards, gifts for gifts, gifts for gifts, mouth food, spring and winter clothes inside and outside, time clothes, silk, silk, yarn, yarn, yarn, cotton, cloth, shoes, mats, paper, dyes, markets, power and property affairs, and the public officials of the three governments. The officials in charge of the court offices, temple sacrifices, gifts for the various states and posts. The Ministry of Revenue, the five cases of the household, household tax, offerings, construction, que case, and clothing.
In fact, everything Song Jiu did was handed over to the Sansi. Steel was in the iron case, wine was in the Qu case, commercial tax was in the commercial tax case, city tax was in the commercial tax case, and various equipment was in the construction case. This was also the reason why Zhao Kuangyin finally brought Song Jiufa to the Sansi. There were also auxiliary or supervisory agencies such as the opening and demolition department, the hook and chisel department, the urging department, the receiving department, and the activities department. In fact, each department had directors, supervisors, accounting officials, and the self-construction system.
The auxiliary department will then perform auxiliary and supervision functions.
Then there is the matter of the envoy of the Three Divisions. When the edict comes, how to implement it, it will be handed over to the various ministries, and the judge and the deputy envoy will assist. The accounts will be reviewed by each ministries and then reported to the envoy of the Three Divisions. The judge will assist the envoy of the Three Divisions again to check and conduct a final review of the accounts in question.
Song Jiu knew this, that is, the assistant manager, he served as the manager, and understood...
It turns out that this is a metaphor.
It can be compared, almost the same, but there are more things to do.
But it depends on how to view it. The commander of the Third Division has the right to inquire about the affairs of the Third Division. If the judge of the Third Division is not good, he can only ask questions. After layers of review and supervision, there are basically no questions in his hands when he comes to the Third Division.
The group came to the Sansi and returned to each department. Song Jiu was curious all the way and asked endlessly. The officials of each department were ridiculous and quarrel, but when the Sansi were not in the same place, they went to their respective places. Chu Zhaofu and Judge Wang, and Song Jiudai's place was the center of the Sansi. There were several experienced minor officials who handed over a stack of documents to Judge Wang and Song Jiu.
Song Jiu opened and looked at it. He didn't know anything. He pushed it all to Judge Wang and said, "Senior, you'll come, I'll learn."
Judge Wang thought about it, and finally took all the copywriting and watched it one by one. He agreed. He left it to Chu Zhaofu with no doubts. Chu Zhaofu opened it and looked again. Even Song Jiu suspected that he had not read it at all, just doing it in one's form, and then stamped it with a big seal.
The officials were still busy, and Chu Zhaofu began to chat with Judge Wang. Song Jiu said, "Chi Shi, can I take a look everywhere?"
"Okay, Liu Laogang. Take Judge Song for a walk."
"Here," an old official took Song Jiu to look around. Similar to the Sansi Center, the busiest one was not the officials. But the minor officials. Song Jiu also saw two of his students busy, one was lying in the case of settlement, but did not notice him coming. Another student saw that Song Jiu waved his hand and signaled him not to speak. This was not the occasion to make friends. In fact, it was not just these two students, but more. They were sent to various institutions under the Sansi Department.
This is just the brain of the three departments, and there are more departments below, including various operations, mines, and deliberations. However, the functions are very vague, and some governors of various states can also participate. This layer of overhead and ambiguity is also a major feature of the official system of the Song Dynasty, otherwise there would not be two major redundant officials and redundant governments!
After walking around, I had a rough understanding of the Sansi. Song Jiu said, "Chi Si Envoy, can I take a look at the file?"
"Okay. Look," Chu Zhaofu was talking to Judge Wang about how outstanding the head of the pedestal in a brothel, and said casually. Song Jiu looked through. The minor officials delivered lunch, that is, breakfast. Generally, each department held breakfast at the eleventh hour, which is lunch. Usually, the officials did not go to the morning court. All officials had preparations, bought some breakfast in the morning and then came to the department on duty. If it was the morning court, then get up early, otherwise people would not be able to bear it at noon. Song Jiu lost some losses this time and knew nothing. As a result, he was hungry and ate a meal. Then he continued to look through and saw a lot, including the total amount of classes before the end of September this year, which had not been reported in October.
After seeing the iron class, the monthly iron reached more than 6 million kilograms. After seeing it, Song Jiu thought to himself, no wonder he used so much steel, and no minister was gossiping. He saw another confidential document. The Censorate asked the Third Department to assist in investigating Wang Quanbin's corruption case. It was reported that it was more than 600,000 yuan. It was found clearly here, and there was no word greed, but used it to obtain and hide it. It was more than 646,800 yuan. However, the treasures of the Shu Palace and the outer palace were hidden in the outer palace because it was not easy to investigate, and Zhao Kuangyin did not ask the Censorate to investigate, and it was not within the 600,000 yuan. If they were included, it might be more than 700,000 or more. Instead, it was more than 400,000 yuan published in Zhao Kuangyin's edict.
Song Jiu murmured: "Old Wang should be killed."
This was the beginning of the Song Dynasty. A country's annual income was only more than 10 million yuan, which was placed behind. The annual income could exceed 100 million yuan, which is also a lot.
Song Jiu was watching, and Chu Zhaofu stood up and said, "Song Jiu, it's worth it."
"Ah, so fast," Song Jiu looked up and looked at the sun. The sun was still high, and it was winter.
"You want to keep the duty, you can."
"I don't want to," Song Jiu flew away. Chu Zhaofu came to the palace, and it might not be all about drinking tea and chatting. He was also observing and then reporting to Zhao Kuangyin.
Zhao Kuangyin sighed deeply: "Gongchen, in fact, there are many similarities between governance and marching and fighting. First of all, you must take the order, where he fought in this battle, and then enter the army to observe and then understand. Many officials do not know the importance of the matter, and after taking the post, they will immediately let go and decide the matter. Such a confused official will sooner or later become a commoner. Let's grind it. I observed in the morning court and it is too conspicuous to stand in front of him."
"The official family is a little smaller."
"I am not in a hurry to use him, just grind it. Besides, the academy has not been built yet, and it will take at least six or seven years for his students to take out his knowledge. At that time, the academy was able to be independent and his age was keeping up. It was the time to use it." Zhao Kuangyin said that he regarded mathematics, physics, chemistry and science as the Analects of Confucius. It was not possible for sixty or seventy years!
"I understand, then..."
"Don't worry about him, don't teach him, let him think about it yourself. This is the candidate I have chosen. I want to hone a few people. These people are not for the sake of now. If you have you and rules, it doesn't matter if the country is, but the talents behind must also keep up."
"For the future of the Song Dynasty."
“That’s right.”
"I understand." Chu Zhaofu said. He reported to Zhao Kuangyin and asked Zhao Kuangyin to judge that he would listen to it, so that he could position Song Jiu.
When Song Jiu returned home, many people, including the Pan brothers and Pan Lian'er, came together. None of his students staying on campus came over. It was not surprising that the yamen came. Song Jiu looked at more than a hundred students and asked, "How are you here together?"
Qin Wazi said with a smile: "We have worshipped your husband."
"My sir?"
"It's just go to pick the temple and worship the statue of Einstein, and then come to congratulate Mr. Jiu."
