Chapter 297

Shunyang is located in the Yangtze River of Danshui. There is Shunyang River outside the city. The land is fertile and it is a prosperous county rarely seen in the mountains. In the Tang Dynasty, Danshui was the main road connecting the north and the south, and Shunyang was located on an important trade road. Later, the soldiers even

As a result of the disaster, Shunyang was implicated and demoted to a town. In the sixth year of the Taiping and Xingguo years, Shunyang Town was promoted to Shunyang County and became an important place. Later generations built the Danjiangkou Reservoir, and the place was flooded into the reservoir.

In ancient China's organizational system, counties were the basis. Counties, states, and prefectures were all divided by the number of counties they governed. The county where the county government or state government was located was the annex, which was different from the city and county levels in later generations. The name of the state was the name of the state, and the name of the county.

It is the name of the county. In most cases, the state name and the county name are different. For example, Kaifeng Prefecture, with the outline of Kaifeng and Xiangyi counties. Henan Prefecture, with the outline of Henan and Luoyang counties. Jingzhao Prefecture, with the outline of

There is Chang'an, which lasts for ten thousand years and two years. These are rare big cities in the world. Most state capitals only have one Fukuo County. For example, the Fukuo County in Ruzhou is Liang County, the Fukuo County in Tangzhou is Biyang, and the Fukuo County in Dengzhou is

Fukuo County is Rang County, and Fukuo County of Caizhou is Ruyang. In some places, the state name is the same as the county name, and the state and county are distinguished. For example, Fukuo County of Suizhou is Suixian, and Fukuo County of Xiangyang Prefecture is

The county is Xiangyang.

Most of the cities in Wang Xiaolie's previous life were changed from regional administrative offices. The history of regional administrative offices is also very complicated and has gone through many changes. Generally speaking, it is a provincial dispatched agency, not a first-level administrative agency. Later,

Regional administrative offices were changed to prefecture-level cities, and prefecture-level cities slowly became first-level administrative agencies, forming a familiar pattern.

Some literati like to make gimmicks, saying that the city in China that has not changed its name for the longest time is Handan, and which cities have had their names changed, which makes people stunned. For example, some people often say with great emotion, do you know, Chang'an?

It was changed to Xi'an, and the original name of Hefei was Luzhou, which confused the listeners. Chang'an County rarely changed its name, and Xi'an City still has Chang'an District. Luzhou is Luzhou, and Hefei is Hefei. At this time, Luzhou's Fukuo County

It is also Hefei. The real name changes, and the changes were unsuccessful, were Huizhou in Anhui, which was changed to Huangshan, Jingsha City in Hubei, which was merged with Jingzhou and Shashi, and Xiangyang and Fancheng, which were merged into Xiangfan City. However, the names of the two places in Hubei were changed again, and Jingsha City was changed to

For Jingzhou City, Xiangfan City was changed to Xiangyang City.

The main reason why there is such a statement is that China has changed into the form of provinces, cities and counties, which has nothing to do with administrative changes. Chang'an City, often referred to as Chang'an City, was Chang'an City most of the time, as was New China before the administrative administration was changed to a city. Hefei

Its original name was Hefei, and it was also the name of Luzhou.

There are many examples of this. For example, in the earliest movies and TV series, it often appears that there was no food in that era in ancient times. In martial arts novels, silver is used everywhere, and even hundreds and thousands of taels of silver are carried around. Ancient people are often called modern,

It's even imaginary.

For example, in the Tang and Song dynasties, the most common names for parents were dad and mom, and some also used ye and niang. Especially in the Song Dynasty, areas in the north that did not belong to the Song Dynasty mostly used ye and niang, and people in the Song Dynasty mostly used dad and mom.

This habit is probably related to the fact that mother and father come from the Hu language, while father and mother are the native names of the Han people. When later generations look at this era, some people find it strange to call their mother mom, and even think that it is used by people with special status.

.

Another example is young women. Later generations used to call young women, but later due to special reasons, young ladies were not commonly used. Some people discovered that this was also the case in the Song Dynasty. In fact, it was not the case. Miss in the Song Dynasty was a good name for women of low status, such as female prostitutes and palace maids.

, does not refer to people who are engaged in special professions. The prostitutes of this era are different from those of later generations. Most of them are performers.

For example, the names of officials. Many people think that officials in ancient times were called adults, or even masters. Their children were either called young masters or young masters. In fact, this is not the case. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, adults generally referred to elders, especially fathers.

. Master and Young Master is a title that only appeared very late. In some special cases, this kind of title does not exist, but it is certainly not universal. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, it was customary to use the surname plus the official title to address officials, and later generations called Chen Chu

Mr. Li is almost the same.

Generally speaking, Han people usually use modest titles when calling themselves, and honorific titles when addressing people. Those who show closeness use rankings, and sometimes brothers. People from ethnic minorities mostly do not use modest titles when calling themselves, and do not use honorific titles when addressing people. In the Qing Dynasty,

The customary title obviously has this characteristic.

Some people think that it doesn’t matter what ancient times looked like, as long as readers and audiences are familiar with it, they can use it. They even say that ancient times in literary, film and television works are fictional and a universe, and you can use whatever you want. That’s not the case.

.As the common sense of readers and viewers becomes clearer and clearer, people will have higher and higher requirements for the authenticity of ancient times. History is history, not some little girl who can be dressed up.

Shunyang was very important when the Danjiang Waterway served as the main link between Guanzhong and Nanyang Xiangyang Basin. Later it was submerged in the Danjiangkou Reservoir and gradually disappeared from people's memory.

Sui Heng returned to the county seat and hurried to Houya.

The lady came out to welcome Sui Heng, glanced at Sui Heng, and said: "Looking at you, you are covered in dust, go and wash up! Knowing that you are coming back today, I specially ordered a banquet to be prepared, and I am waiting for you!"

Sui Heng trembled in his heart after hearing this, and said hurriedly: "How much did the banquet cost? Did we pay for it?"

The lady said: "You are the head of a county, how can you have the right to spend your own money on food and drink? It's all done by the officials, who knows how much it costs! I just say that you have been in Xiangyang for many days, so you must be rich!"

Sui Heng slapped his thigh: "Oh, I'm just afraid of these things, and you did it again! Did you know that when I went to Xiangyang this time, the governor said that officials are not allowed to let the officials spend money. Either spend the minister's money, or...

My own salary! Not to mention the future, even the previous ones must be returned! When I went to Shunyang as an official, my daily food and drink were all taken care of by the officials. All this money must be returned!"

The lady couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this. After a while, she said: "What kind of rule is this! As a county magistrate, your monthly salary is not much. If you don't let the officials flatter us to eat and drink, won't you starve to death!"

Sui Hengdao: "Madam, don't say these words anymore. The governor has issued an order that within two months, you must repay the embezzled public funds or the money you asked the officials to spend for you. If you can't repay it, go to the bank to borrow money.

From now on, it will be slowly deducted from the salary. After two months, Councilor Chen will lead people to inspect various places. Anyone found to have failed to do so will be removed immediately!"

The lady sneered: "This governor is just boasting! There are many officials, he can find them? If they are all removed, who will be the official to govern the place for him? I don't believe it, such a thing can really be done!"

Sui Heng sighed and said: "At first, I thought so too. After staying in Xiangyang for a few days, the officials gradually understood that there would be no discounts on this matter! Zhenfu killed Yang Jin and just arrived in Xiangyang

At that time, there were almost no officials. Isn’t it what we are today? The governor clearly told us that the worst case scenario would be to go back to two years ago and there would be no officials. All we have to do is find a way.”

At this moment, an official came over and said that the banquet was ready and asked Sui Heng to go to the banquet.

Sui Heng slapped his thigh continuously: "Oh, today is another meal. No matter how small it is, I'm afraid I still have a lot of money!"

The official said: "My wife ordered us to be richer, and the young ones didn't dare to neglect it. It actually cost twelve guan!"

Sui Heng smiled bitterly after hearing this: "Okay, okay, I understand. Write down all this money, and I will pay you back later."

Seeing the official leave with confusion on his face, the lady said: "If that's the case, what's the point of being an official? You won't even have to eat, why don't you hang up your official seal and we won't do it!"

Sui Hengdao: "What nonsense are you talking about! In today's world, is it easy to find a place to eat? Zhenfu said that in the future, all salaries will be paid in real money, and no deductions are allowed. Now we are still paying rice. I will wait for a while.

, it has become easier to buy rice, and everything has been paid out instead. I, the county magistrate, actually have twenty-five guan of money a month, four shi of rice, how can I not afford to eat!"

This time in Xiangyang, Wang Xiaolie made adjustments to the salaries of his subordinate officials, moving them up according to the imperial salary scale. Generally speaking, in middle and lower counties like Shunyang, the magistrates did not have twenty-five passes, so Wang Xiaolie all followed the imperial salary scale.

Salaries are distributed in superior counties.

In this era, it is not easy to earn twenty-five guan a month without being an official. Especially after the war, there are abandoned fields everywhere with no one cultivating them. Even the countryside cannot recruit tenants, let alone others.

Unless you are a businessman and are willing to take all kinds of risks, you can make more money. Although Luge of the imperial court has so much money in theory, in reality, including deductions and miscellaneous things, he can only get half of it.
