Chapter 52 A few small talk
Every 10 or 20 chapters, you can talk nonsense, just treat it as a small history class.
In the late Northern Song Dynasty, "Brother" was used to call him brother, but the word "Brother" was rarely used.
That is, the second brother called the eldest brother "Big Brother".
However, the eldest brother does not call the second brother "second brother", but calls the second brother. For the sake of writing convenience, this book will use the term "second brother".
In the Tang Dynasty, "Brother" could be called a father, a brother, or even a junior. For example, Xuanzong called his father the "Fourth Brother" and his eldest son the "Big Brother". He could also call himself "Brother" when Emperor Taizong of Tang talked to his son.
The "old student" in the previous article is not a typo, it is also the claim of the elderly, and the usage is similar to "old man".
Let’s talk about “Qingsi”, the Five Dynasties and the Early Song Dynasty were called “Shusband”, and in the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, it was called “Shusband”, which was a document that specifically cooperated with the tax collection of Lizheng. There was one in almost a village, without paying wages and no staffing.
After the Lizheng and the head of the household (similar to the chief of Baojia) were abolished, the "Future Secretary" was renamed "Future Secretary" and became the secretary-general of the county government. The main job was to assist the chief clerk in collecting taxes. The power gradually expanded, and when the chief clerk was away, he could arrange work instead of the chief clerk. The people's families were designated as households, which was the final say of the "Future Secretary".
However, although the "Qingyuan Department" has great power, it has never been formally established, which is somewhat similar to senior external personnel.
"Aisi" was renamed "Dianshi" in the middle of Huizong Dynasty, but it was used in a mixed manner before Jingkang, and it was not until the Southern Song Dynasty that it was mainly called "Dianshi".
