Crossing Wu Dalang starts from selling cakes

Chapter 355: Zhao Fujin Marries Wu Zhi!Three more!
Let's talk about outsiders first--

To put it simply, members outside refer to members who are outside.In addition, applying today's concept, it can be understood as a member outside the system, or as a leadership department.

Collectively, outside the members, the general meaning is the potential leaders who are outside the system. In popular speech, they can also be called alternate officials.

According to this meaning, the outsiders should be people who are not in the editor but have official status. It is not certain whether they are rich or big landlords.

Besides, gentlemen—

Compared with outsiders, the concept of gentry is more trivial.

In terms of meaning, gentry was originally a combination of gentry and gentry.

Shi, originally a concept in the patriarchal system implemented in the Zhou Dynasty, refers to the lowest class of nobles.The highest-ranking nobleman is the Son of Heaven. Under the Son of Heaven, they are princes. Under the princes, they are officials.

The imperial examination system implemented since the Sui and Tang Dynasties has given folks without aristocratic status the opportunity to become officials, that is, to be officials.

In most dynasties after the imperial examination, there were four rounds of the imperial examination, the provincial examination, the general examination, the court examination, and the palace examination.

If you are shortlisted in the township examination, you are a scholar.Of course, there was no such thing as a scholar in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Only ancient scholars were eligible to participate in the general examination, and those who were shortlisted in the general examination were qualified to participate in the courtyard examination.

Shortlisted in the academy examination, tribute, theoretically eligible to participate in the palace examination.

The imperial examination was presided over by the emperor himself.

Those who pass the palace examination are Jinshi.

Because the emperor presided over the palace examination, the Jinshi is also called the emperor's disciple.

Juren, tribute, and Jinshi are all given the status of scholars in principle, which is called having meritorious service as the saying goes.

In some dynasties, people with fame will get objects that mark their status.Even if there are no Juren and Gongshi, there will definitely be Jinshi.

Traditionally, this object is a belt with special markings and decorations, which is a gentry.

It is also said that the gentry refers to the decorative and iconic belt that officials must wear when they go to court, and it is used to pin the wat board used to report.

The wat board is a rectangular board that officials hold their hands in front of their chests when they report to the emperor.

It is made to order.

It can also be called a hand board, usually made of jade, ivory or bamboo slices, on which things can be recorded.

When ministers of civil and military affairs met the king, they held the wat with both hands to record the king's order or will, and they could also write down the words to be played to the king on the wat board to prevent forgetting.

And pinning the belt of the wat board is a gentry!
For example, in operas nowadays, the official figure hangs a round one around his waist, inlaid with decorations, which looks like a widened version of the hula hoop, which symbolically represents the gentry.

In fact, although the gentry is not used to tie the waist, it should be tied around the waist, and it must be a soft fabric, which cannot be the hard texture of the hula hoop in opera.

Wat board and gentry are suits.However, if an uncle with this suit leaves his official position for other reasons that are not negligence punishment, the wat board can no longer be held, but the belt of the other wat board is a gentry, which can be kept as a status symbol.

Most of those who are only gentry but have no wat board will temporarily return to their hometowns and become country gentry.

Can also be called a gentry!

Because they have connections and status.So even going back to my hometown will have a certain influence.Ordinary people can't afford it.

And there are not a few officials who retire every year.

A considerable number of them may be reactivated as officials, and accordingly have the right to hold wat boards again.

At least, that's what most of them hoped for themselves.

These people have deprived many people of their interests, occupied the fields and let the people work for them, but gave poor money, just enough to support their lives, not even enough to live very hard.

In fact, before the Northern Song Dynasty, there were New Deals implemented, but they encountered too many obstacles, and there were many officials in the DPRK and China who did not support them, so all the implementations were blocked.

In fact, Song Huizong wanted to use the new method at the beginning, but he was worried about making some troubles. He didn't have the courage, so he finally reused the old school like Cai Jing.

As a result, Jiangshan was lost.

It can be said that many systems in the Song Dynasty have major problems. Although many places are still very rich, there are too many poor people.

Song Huizong nodded when he heard the words. If it was implemented in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun at the beginning, it would not be impossible to experiment.

"How are you going to implement it?" Song Huizong still wanted to ask clearly.

Hearing this, Wu Zhi smiled and said: "The general direction is this. The first one is to collect all the land into the Song Dynasty, let the officials be in charge of the production, let the local officials go to the bank to borrow money, and pay back the money when it is due." Serve food.

Second, in the past, officials in the Song Dynasty were promoted according to their seniority, ignoring their own merits. This caused many officials to lose their seniority and did not want to work for the Song Dynasty. Therefore, there must be new assessment standards, which can break the rules and promote those with political achievements Officials, seniority is only second. "

"The last point is that the Song Dynasty's grace system also has serious drawbacks. As long as many officials pass the grace system, their brothers and sisters are scary in Bianjing, resulting in serious bureaucratic nepotism.

If the officials of the Song Dynasty are all these relatives, random promotion will cause serious harm to the Song Dynasty, so it is better to eliminate this rule as soon as possible! "

"For the time being, Weichen has thought of these things, and things still need to be dealt with in the same way. Even these points are enough to work for a long time!"

"Well, what King Yan said is very good!
If these methods are implemented well in Yanyun Sixteen States, I can implement your method! "

Song Huizong nodded, agreeing.

Wu Zhi was overjoyed, this kind of implementation of new things and changes is quite interesting, of course, what Wu Zhi wants is good results.

Song Huizong agreed, so he could let go.

On this day, Wu Zhi and Song Huizong discussed for a long time.

Song Huizong was a little confused at first, but he became more confident in the end.

After returning, Wu Zhi also ordered his subordinates to sort out the next series of plans and record them so that they can be implemented one by one.

The first is Yan Yun.

But now Wu Zhi is going to get married, so he won't go there at the moment, just let his subordinates go there to prepare.

And as time passed slowly.

Ten days will come soon.

The day of Wu Zhi's marriage has also come.

At this moment, Wu Zhi was also a little excited.

His mansion is very lively at the moment.

Many ministers from the DPRK and China came, and even officials came.

Today's mansion is full of people, lights and festoons are everywhere, and the people in the entire Bianjing City are also talking about it, and even many people gathered in front of the mansion to watch the excitement.

After all, it is a big deal for Da Song to marry a princess!
Even Cai Jing, Wang Fu, Liang Shicheng, Li Yan and others also came.

All the officials have come, and they dare not not come.

Zeng Bu and Li Gefei were also present, although there were many people, but fortunately Wu Zhi's mansion was big enough to hold so many banquets.

It's just that there are too many people.

Inside and outside, there is a lot of voices!
The people in Bianjing City were watching from the outside, and they were still muttering: "Those are all high officials of the imperial court, do you see that, it must be Prime Minister Zeng! Tsk tsk!"

"Look, this is from the Ministry of War, and that one is from the Ministry of Households..."

Some knowledgeable people still recognize local officials.

"Hehe, the people who came to Yan Wang's mansion are naturally great figures from the Song Dynasty. I heard that all the officials have come!"

"Nonsense, the official family will come to marry their daughter, hey, it's a pity that we little people are not qualified to go in!"

"Hehe!" A peddler said with a smile: "Even if I let you in, do you dare? There are all big people inside, you dare not even look at them!"

"It's true, we don't have any status here, who should we go in and chat with? If we offend anyone, we can't afford it!"

Many ordinary people are talking and laughing, they are all people who eat melons.

This is a big melon, and everyone is very happy to discuss it.

In fact, since Wu Zhi became a member of the court, the people of Bianjing and the people of the entire Song Dynasty inevitably talked about the various achievements of the current King Yan in teahouses and restaurants.

Among them, this time Wu Zhi eliminated the Kingdom of Jin and the Kingdom of Liao, which was quite shocking to the people of Song Dynasty!
The discussion also continued for a long time and did not stop.

Some people say that Wu Zhi's appearance is to strengthen Da Song.

Some people say that Wu Zhi is a god who came down to earth. In short, there are many opinions.

This wedding banquet can be said to be very intense, and celebrities and officials from Bianjing gathered together. Of course, not everyone can enter, and those who can participate are people with high status.There are also Wu Zhi's relatives and subordinates.

And Zhao Fujin, also dressed in red bridal makeup, went through a series of etiquettes from the sedan chair, and finally sent him to Wu Zhi's bridal chamber.

Sitting on the prepared new house bed.

A room belonging to Zhao Fujin.

It wasn't Pan Jinlian's room.

Pan Jinlian is the regular wife, so her room does not need to be moved.

Zhao Fujin is an ordinary wife, but the room prepared for her is also very large, and she is dressed in a joyous manner. Although it is definitely not as good as Zhao Fujin's own palace, Zhao Fujin likes Wu Zhi's mansion.

In fact, it is not small, but also lively and fun.

At this moment, Zhao Fujin was in the room, and when he heard the lively sound of drinking from outside, his heart was beating thumpingly.

She finally married Wu Zhi, a gifted scholar she admired.

Tonight was the day of her and Wu Zhi's bridal chamber. Zhao Fujin was still a little ignorant, but he vaguely knew something, and his fair face covered by a veil became very rosy because of the excitement in his heart.

If someone lifted her hijab at this moment, they would be able to see Zhao Fujin's shy appearance and face at this moment.
