Reincarnation of the Heavens: Starting from Hong Kong Comprehensive

Chapter 327 Taishi Bureau (additional update)
There is another talking point in the officialdom of Chang'an. Taoist priest Maoshan succeeded in praying for rain. He has great supernatural powers and was kept in the palace by the two saints to attend the night banquet.

However, this news is obviously outdated.

The fact that Taoist Priest Xiao was the nephew of the Queen of Heaven first spread within a certain circle, and then spread gradually downward until it spread throughout the officialdom of Chang'an.

Wearing a green Taoist robe, which symbolizes the Qingyang energy of the East, he has a straight posture and a mysterious and quiet temperament, which makes him turn heads when he walks on the street.

The Taishi Bureau is located in the same place as the Three Provinces and Six Ministries, all within the imperial city.

It is true that it is far away from the forbidden palace where the emperor, the prince, the harem concubines, and the palace ladies live, but the guards are still tight, and entry and exit must be based on who you are, because this is a symbol of official rank.

The official title of the fifth-grade imperial court official...

One thing to say, it's not worth much anymore.

After all, nearly 60 years have passed since the founding of the country. Three or four generations have spread out, various major ceremonies have awarded rewards, and the gold content has declined at a speed visible to the naked eye. Therefore, only ministerial officials can enter the imperial city by virtue of their personal status.

However, with a strong aunt, Meng Fan will not be stopped, just because he has the cards in his waist.

Made of gold and jade, painted with dragons and phoenixes.

Although I don't know the specific meaning, it will not be a problem to enter and exit the imperial city at will. Even if I go to the Forbidden Palace... I'm afraid it won't be a big problem.

The sun is shining and the temperature is right.

Walking on the wide road, Meng Fan seemed particularly leisurely, which was out of tune with the tense atmosphere in the city.

The brothers who are about to be late wish they could have two more legs at this moment. Some brothers who have already finished their duties and are going to run errands are also in a hurry.

"You have to take a bath once every ten days and have to go to work before dawn. It was not easy for civil servants in the Tang Dynasty."

While whispering, Meng Fan came to a large courtyard, which is the Taishi Bureau. The landmark building is a nine-story attic, which is already higher than the imperial city wall.

To be honest, this is something beyond cognition. If placed in a normal dynasty, it would be suspected of spying on the secrets of the court and the palace. The lightest punishment would be to demolish it, and the most severe punishment would be beheading!
However, there are ghosts, gods and practitioners in this world, and the dignitaries are protected by luck, especially the royal family. Among their duties, there is the Taishi Bureau that observes the astronomical phenomena. It is not difficult to understand the existence of high-rise buildings.

"Have you heard? There is a high-level master from Maoshan, and he has been appointed as Taishi Ling by the saint."

"Yes, this position has been vacant for seven whole years, and finally someone has taken it."

The two green-robed officials who were proficient in calculus sighed.

At this moment, they are drinking tea in the courtyard, because they are not busy yet, and we will wait until late autumn to discuss what kind of calendar will be established next year.

"The Dragon God appeared last night. The relationship between our new Taishi Ling is too exaggerated."

"I'm so sleepy. There was something unusual in Gouji Ridge last night. I had to be sent there to investigate. It's really unlucky. I stayed there all night and found nothing. If I hadn't heard about the new Taishi Order, I would have gone home and slept."

There are more and more discussions.

From Meng Fan's current point of view, everyone is very busy.

"I hope that person is a good person to get along with, and don't imitate those government officials who order Mao every day."

"Probably not. There isn't much to do. Before Taoist Priest Li Chunfeng dismembered the body, he was just doing nothing."

"A Taoist from Maoshan who has such means will probably be promoted soon and will have no time to manage worldly affairs."

"I can't say for sure. What if he wants to use his merits to ascend to heaven? It's pity that we have so much freedom..."

Meng Fan: "..."

The new official took office three fires.

Although his transfer order has not yet been officially issued, he uses invisibility during working hours and enters the Taishi Bureau to listen to his subordinates' arrangements.

Is it good to show up?

Or pretend you haven't been here?
Or, come in at another time.

It can be seen that it is true. It is no exaggeration to describe the working status of the Taishi Bureau like this:
The salary is [-] yuan, and the monthly payment is more than enough.There is no need for food and clothing, and there are few personnel constraints.

Last night, I heard Prince Li Xian explain the basic benefits for officials of this dynasty. In addition to salary, which is cash, there are also rice and job land.

Needless to say, the former is rice for eating, but the type is not limited to rice. It can be other staple foods or meat, and can even be converted into cash of equivalent value.

The latter refers to different official ranks, how many acres of land are given, people can be hired to cultivate, or they can be sublet directly.

Among them, the fifth-rank official has a total of [-] acres.

In addition, there is also a kind of eyesight called Like. After the end of the busy season every year, adult men are served by the government, guarding the homes of officials, and serving as guards. It is called:
Hold the clothes.

There are 96 officers of the first rank, two officers of the ninth rank, and officials of the fifth rank of Taishi Ling. As a rule, they can be assigned 24 young and strong guards. Although they cannot wear armor, they can carry swords with them.

It is worth mentioning that there are two systems for official officials and casual officials, so Meng Fan can enjoy double benefits.

Due to the strong national power and the relative wealth of the people, many men who were supposed to serve in Chang'an were from well-off families and were unwilling to be humble and look after homes and homes, so they simply paid money directly to be exempted. This was allowed by the court, and there were clear regulations: Two hundred dollars a month.

And a mutton sesame pancake costs two dollars.

It just so happened that Meng Fan didn't need anyone to serve or protect him. He could just inform the other party to pay him when the time came.

Thinking about it this way...it's good to get up early and go to work. The salary and remuneration are convenient and you don't have to choose.

"Tai Shi Ling."

While Meng Fan was struggling with how to get in touch with his new colleagues, an old man suddenly spoke up.

He is tall and thin, wearing a loose official robe, and he has a sense of elegance and elegance, especially his eyebrows, which are slender and white, fluttering in the wind.

Before that, the old man had been sitting on the stone steps of the observatory, sleeping with his eyes closed.

"I didn't expect an expert to be in charge."

Now that someone has called out his identity, he has nothing to hide, so he simply shows up.

"Tai Shi Ling."

"Tai Shi Ling."

A group of young people in green robes drinking tea stood up and saluted. Most of them were half Taoist and half Confucian.

In addition, there is a Taoist master with white beard and hair sitting in charge. It is normal that the Qintian Prison can still operate normally without a chief official for several years.

"No need to be polite. I haven't taken up my post yet. I just came to see the situation out of curiosity."

Meng Fan responded with a smile. He was not a person who liked to blame his subordinates.

Next, it's really just a simple meeting, getting to know each other, knowing how many people are under your command, and they can be divided into several departments and what their respective responsibilities are, so that they won't have a black eye after taking office.

The old man who was second only to himself in profound Taoism was a casual cultivator with a surname of Huang. He received part of Yuan Tiangang's inheritance through the advice of Li Chunfeng, the previous Taishi Ling.

Therefore, he served as the sixth rank Sicheng and has been in charge of various activities over the years.

The second member of the Si Li, the seventh rank, is the guy who has nothing to do all day long and is the first to chat. He is responsible for updating the national calendar.

There are four supervisors, seven in rank, working in pairs, taking turns observing and interpreting the celestial phenomena, and recording them on time.

There are five Guanfeng envoys, eighth grade, single person and single group. They usually patrol Chang'an and its surroundings to ensure that there are no demons, ghosts, ghosts, or related incidents.

In addition, calendar, astronomy, engraving, and observation each have nine-level doctorate positions, with a total of 32 people. They are somewhat similar to the modern doctorate, that is, one purely refers to being knowledgeable in a certain field, while the other is linked to the degree.

The above is the whole team of Meng Fan in the future.
