Wei Shu

Chapter 233
Speaking of which, the titles of official titles in the Great Song Dynasty are really complicated, and the official titles of sending salary and dispatching officials are the most basic two. Wei Shu spent some time just to figure out the two.

And above the imperial court, apart from officials like Lu Shen who have both falsehood and reality, there are also many officials who only hold vain positions and receive a salary, and officials who only send official positions.

From Wei Shu's point of view, this Jiluguan can really be discarded.

In the final analysis, most of these people are people who only take their salaries and do not work, and their corpses sit on a vegetarian diet. Staying in the court hall is of limited use except to waste the national treasury;

However, dispatching officials is obviously thankless. Some job vacancies are even replaced by officials.

This is one of the many long-standing disadvantages of the Song Dynasty.

In addition, the tax transfer, change, advance reminder, scientific allocation, etc., as well as the law of harmony and purchase that have been implemented for many years, and various corvees are the same.

It can be said that at this point in the Song Dynasty, internal troubles were not less than external troubles, and the civil and military disputes in the court and the disputes between peace and war were all triggered by this.

For more than a year, although Wei Shu lived in the border town of the Great Song Dynasty, she was still exploring her homeland of the Central Plains a thousand years later. , if she doesn't think about change and insists on sticking to it, Song Dynasty will be completely destroyed just like all the countries she experienced back then.

Before that, she was too busy to take care of herself, and the rivers and lakes were far away, and the courts were far away, and even she herself didn't know what the future would hold. No matter how much she thought about it, it would only increase her confusion.

Today is different.

Wei Shu already had a stepping stone in her hands, that is, Lu Shen, and the Great Song Dynasty Hall was close at hand. Therefore, she had to weigh the weight of this brick clearly before she could formulate the next strategy.

From the fifth grade Jilu official, it is a whole grade higher than Cheng Wei.

"Young lady, she's arrogant and then respectful. She's really - she doesn't look like a quack." Lu Shen's voice sounded.

His tone is very light, but the word "true" is extremely long, and its meaning is self-evident.

However, such ridicule at Wei Shu was like a spring breeze, and it had no effect at all.

Seeing that her face remained unchanged, she continued to ask:

"May I ask Inspector Lu, how were those Li slaves settled last year after they came back? Have the silver taels I handed over to you ever been distributed to them?"

In the Battle of Baishuang City, Wei Shu expected that she might not be able to keep up with the troops, so she handed over the prepared silver to Wu Guo and others in advance for safekeeping. Asking today is also the meaning of the question.

Lu Shen was quite surprised, his dark pupils flicked to her face, and then turned to go outside the pavilion.

The autumn grass is rolling, and it is sometimes blown by the wind. This inquiry, which is more than a year late, seems to have disturbed something else.

After a few breaths of silence, he said in a deep voice: "The silver taels were handed out by me personally, counted on the basis of head count, each person has one tael of silver, and there is no shortage of pennies, all of which have been recorded in the book. As for the resettlement..."

His eyes stayed on the tangled grass blades for a long time.

The west wind was rushing, making the long grass heave and rattle.

After a long while, his voice echoed with Qiu's voice, desolate and lonely:

"Sorry, this matter is not under the jurisdiction of Changfengying. I only know that they stayed in Beijing for a while, and then returned to their hometowns."

Wei Shu nodded, the expression on her face remained unchanged.

It's pretty much what she expected.

The abolition of discipline and the corruption of the government are the current situation of the Song Dynasty, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it at a glance.

If the princes in the court really managed to arrange those slaves properly, Wei Shu would be surprised. What she heard now only made her think "it really is so".

Just like when she asked about Ding Hai's "Liao School" and "Jin School" last night.

"One tael of silver is enough for them to settle down." Lu Shen suddenly added another sentence.

There is no need to explain, and I don't know if I am comforting others or seeking peace of mind.

Wei Shu knew the hurdles, and she also knew that Lu Shen, who was in the middle of the game, must have a lot of obstacles, and she might not be as comfortable as a Jianghu person like her, so she didn't get entangled in it anymore, but changed the subject:
"About Guimao's death, I have a few questions. I want to know about the Cao family..."

"You better not know."

Lu Shen interrupted her suddenly, his attitude was extremely decisive, and he didn't allow her to say the whole thing at all.

Wei Shu sat there with her mouth open, thought for a while, raised her hand to brush her temples, and smiled sweetly.

Sure enough...it's still the case.

Although she really hoped that she was wrong in her guess, the fact is that she guessed it right every time.

Today's Da Song is almost exactly the same as the Liang she ruled back then, so how could she be wrong?
"Then let's talk about the red carp pouch." Wei Shu changed the topic to a lighter one, with a smile on her face: "Is it always possible to talk about it, Mr. Lu?"

The language is teasing, like a joke.

Lu Shen turned his eyes to look at her, without comment.

Wei Shu didn't care either, with a playful look on her face: "If you want to reward meritorious deeds, who should I be?"

With her martial arts, she deserves to be called "this seat".

Lu Shen's eyes narrowed slightly.

Even though it was only for a short moment, Wei Shu still noticed the crack in that calm face.

"What? Is this also unspeakable?" Wei Shu crossed her arms, with a sweet smile on her lips.

Seeing her aggressive look, Lu Shen laughed instead:
"Sorry, but I didn't think of this in the next moment. I don't know what the girl wants? Bonus reward? Sword and magic weapon?"

"I want to be an official." Wei Shu said bluntly.

Naturally, in the eyes of some people, such words and deeds can also be summed up as "speaking without shame". After all, although there are people in this world who take the initiative to ask for rewards, they are not particularly many.

What's more, this is not asking for anything else, but asking for an official position.

Lu's dark ink-stained long eyebrows raised slightly, and he was obviously shocked by the words. After a few breaths, he said:

"This is really... surprising. A strange woman like the girl is still a fan of officials?"

"Why not?" Wei Shu's expression was more solemn and solemn:

"If you are in the Jianghu, you can't turn your heart to the court? Then, as a fifth-rank official, why do you often use Jianghu tricks?"

Lu Shen opened his mouth to speak, but Wei Shu didn't bother to fight with him anymore, and quickly continued: "Stop talking, just say it's okay?"

Lu Shenxu didn't expect that she was still serious. After a moment of shock, he asked her, "So what if you can? So what if you don't?"

"If it's okay, I'll leave right away; if it's not okay..." Wei Shu scratched the handsome face in front of her with the corner of her eyes, and then her eyes suddenly curved: "Then I have no choice but to take the red carp bag and go together."
