Chapter 413 The Beginning of a Woman as an Official

On the day of Xiaonian, not only Dongting Lake is relatively lively, but also the court hall is full of joy.

The plan that Yu Xiu'er had been working on for so long among the wives of the various dignitaries was finally approved in the court today.

From now on, in the administrative yamen of the Tang Dynasty, women can be officials in two departments, the Tai Le Department and the Tai Medical Department.

Moreover, the ranks of these two yamen are not low. After the Tai Le Division of the Ministry of Rites was expanded to the Tai Le Department, the Tai Le Order was concurrently held by the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, that is to say, it is now at the third rank.

There are four major organizations under the Taile Department, the Palace Cultural Troupe, the Military Cultural Troupe, the Political Cultural Troupe, and the Folk Cultural Troupe.

They are respectively in charge of various ceremonial music performances in the palace, military condolence performances, state receptions and visit performances, as well as condolence performances for farmers, workers, businessmen and other folks.

At present, although each regiment has an establishment of 1000 people, just like other newly established departments, it is just empty-handed. Specifically, those members will form the structure. Have the right to draw up grades for the more outstanding musicians, singers, dancers and other entertainers recruited, from the lowest grade 25 to the highest grade [-], a total of [-] grades.

Of course, this level is just a status symbol. Apart from obtaining the household registration of a first-class citizen and receiving the salary of the corresponding level, an entertainer with a level does not have any administrative power of an official of the same level, and cannot be equal to other people. For the transfer of administrative officials, unless you can achieve the level of Tuanzheng or Tai Leling, you can have a little administrative power and participate in the court's deliberations.

The Imperial Physician Order of the Imperial Medical Office is as expected. It is set to be from the third grade, to maintain the same grade as the Guozijian Jijiu, and to manage the imperial hospitals that will be rolled out in all states and counties. This is almost the same as the Ministry of Health in later generations.

Zhen Quan was in charge of the Imperial Physician Order, and Shanyang Medical College was also included in the system of the Imperial Medical Administration. Although Sun Simiao's head of Shanyang Medical College was also from the third rank, he still had to accept the management of the Imperial Physician Order Zhen Quan. From now on, Sun Simiao He is mainly responsible for medical education and research, while Zhen Quan is responsible for the administrative management and daily work of the entire medical system.

Of course, the Tai Medical Office is empty at the moment. The local Tai Hospital will be able to cover Guanzhong at most next year, and it will take at least three to five years before it is rolled out across the country. Many hands and resources.

In the plan, the sound Tai Medical Administration will set up a Tai Hospital in all administrative areas above the county level. The hospital is currently upgrading the grade, state, and road according to the local administrative level. That is to say, in the future, Datang Guang The number of high-grade medical officials will reach several thousand, plus some officials, nurses, etc., and the number of people working in the entire medical system will reach tens of thousands. These people will not be able to do it immediately unless the emperor orders them. Conjured out of thin air.

Therefore, the use of women as officials is also to meet actual needs, because after the establishment of these systems, they are relatively large, and all of them use men's words, which will make other industries that are already short of manpower even more difficult to operate. The court issued this announcement At the time, I will explain all these factors clearly to everyone, and in the next imperial examination, the gender restriction on medicine will be released, and art subjects without gender restrictions will be added at the same time.

That is to say, in the future, all kinds of artists can also take part in the imperial examination to obtain the qualification of interns and work in various troupes under the Taile Department. This is good news for artists all over the world.

Unexpectedly, the public showed a great response to this announcement, almost all of which were praise and praise, but it was unexpected for Li Shimin and the court ministers, who said that the current situation in this country is that there are more women than men!

Of course, the reason why everyone is happy is because this kind of reform has benefited more people. If there are more officials, the chances of everyone's promotion will be higher. Except for a few top officials in the court, most officials It is expected that there will be more and more yamen in the imperial court, and the system will become bigger and bigger. At least, this adjustment has allowed many children of ministers to be mixed into the same official position, which has made many officials more powerful, and more Officials in the hospital are expected to be promoted. Just for the newly added officials who manage the medical system, there are as many as dozens of people above the fifth rank, and these people have to be promoted from among the original officials of the sixth and seventh ranks.

Almost as soon as the imperial court's announcement was released, several well-known entertainers in Wangjiang Tower, and even many other well-known officials who had high attainments in singing and dancing, all received invitations from the Taile Department. Because, the emperor made a request to the Ministry of Rites that after the Shangyuan Festival next year, the team of envoys to the Western Regions must be accompanied by a cultural troupe.

All of a sudden, in Chang'an City, the value of singing and dancing artists doubled, and the yamen of the Ministry of Rites was very busy.

Like Yao Hongxiu, who was invited by the political art troupe with top treatment, from the sixth grade and relatively loose working conditions.

Afterwards, she gained the title of doctor of artists from the Ministry of Rites Political Art Troupe. Many of the disciples she brought out could also directly enter the political art troupe as officials, or accept employment from the art troupe.

Moreover, when the imperial court has no missions, she can take on business performances by herself, as long as she pays a little attention to maintaining her own image and maintaining the dignity of imperial officials.

Li Xiangdie, on the other hand, became a Doctor of Artist of the Folk Art Troupe, also from the sixth grade, the qualifications are comparable to Yao Hongxiu, and even the entire staff of the Folk Art Troupe are artists brought out by her subordinates, and there are as many as a few of them with high grades. ten people.

As for the palace art troupe, there were former court musicians as the team, and the military art troupe would have a large number of people from Li Chengqian's prince six leaders. It should be the first to be fully formed among the four major art troupes.

In the Sun Mansion, Yao Hongxiu, Li Xiangdie, who came back from the Ministry of Rites, and a group of entertainers who have obtained grades, came to meet Yu Xiuer, who managed all of this. At this time, no one could understand their inner excitement. Women are officials and represent the court. Being an envoy, the name will last forever, these things that Sun Xiangfu only briefly described to them before, are now really about to come true.

You know, Yao Hongxiu was originally a servant, and Li Xiangdie was a lowly citizen after being a prisoner. Now, they have obtained the status of officials, and they can enter and exit the yamen of the Ministry of Rites in a fair and honest manner, and receive and receive money from court officials. Same salary.

"Excuse me! Actually, the things I can do for you are very limited. What you should really thank is my husband. It is he who proposed this idea and made suggestions all the way, and finally succeeded. Such an unprecedented path."

"Sun Dudu is still in Jingzhou, I wonder if he can come back to see me off."

Now, all parties in the Tang Dynasty are short of manpower, and Li Shimin's request for envoys to the countries in the Western Regions is to show the best side of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, Li Xiangdie and Yao Hongxiu, as well as most of the musicians present, have to go. It will take a long time to go, at least two years before returning. Clearly, as for spiritual encouragement, of course, the more the better.

"The matter of Jingzhou is not troublesome if you think about it. With your husband's ability, it will definitely turn around after the Lantern Festival. But you wait, you have to take care of your health when you go to a foreign country. Some personnel coordination and rehearsals, take advantage of it before departure." During this period of time, take a good look at this year's Spring Festival Gala and Shangyuan Festival Gala, but you bid farewell to the show!"

The matter Yu Xiuer explained is also the focus of everyone at the moment. With their identities, they have finally participated in major national affairs. Naturally, they will practice desperately and show their best side. Sun Xiangfu once said that skills There is no limit. Although their current level is praised by everyone, they can definitely be better. Only when your pursuit is always better, will you continue to improve.

"I'm afraid that after I leave, there will be a lot of losses in the Wangjiang Tower." After all, Yao Hongxiu is a member of the Sun family, and they are now heading for their own future, but because of this, the interests of the Sun family have been damaged. In her heart, she felt a little overwhelmed by this test. In this year's Spring Festival Gala and Shangyuan Festival Gala, she decided to present her best performances and earn as much money as possible for her old owner.

"Don't worry about that. Back then, it wasn't my husband and I who held up the stage. Now, the techniques of various stage layouts have matured, and the training of artists has been continuously strengthened and perfected. Believe me, I will wait for you When we come back, our new batch of artists will already have the strength to compete with you."

The current advantage of Wangjiang Tower is that it is rich and powerful, and it can spend money to recruit people with expertise in this area from all over the world to join. As long as they are on the stage of Wangjiang Tower, they will not be far from becoming famous. Therefore, there are many people with expertise in this area , will take the initiative to come here. Before, it was because of the need to control the number of people, and it was enough to ensure that there were enough artists on the stages of various branches. Now, most of the main force has been taken away at once, but a lot of water is needed, which will give A chance for many who would not otherwise have had the opportunity to enter the system.

The most intuitive manifestation of the prosperity of a country is that people can easily get jobs and earn money easily. Now, Datang has a huge manpower gap, and all walks of life are recruiting workers. As long as they are willing to come out to find jobs and earn money People can get a good income and support a family without any problem. This is a thriving and prosperous situation.

Of course, more and more people are engaged in occupations other than farming, which forces the farming technology to continue to improve. Only when the original agricultural output is sufficient to satisfy the society can the advancement of all other projects be guaranteed, and Sun Xiangfu is now in the Do things that increase raw output.

The leaders of the water villages rushed to the lake where the Zhang brothers were located. Before they came, most of them had heard what Sun Xiangfu said to the Zhang brothers. Therefore, most of them believed in the court and wanted to solve the problem sincerely. Well, the problem here, and the hatred for those local tyrants who persecuted them, made them more willing to obey the imperial court's arrangements.

Therefore, Lin Bao, the water bandit leader named Linjiazhai who kidnapped the Miao people, brought all the Miao people kidnapped by him, there were more than a dozen boats and more than a thousand people.

"My lord, the grass people are stupid. They were taken advantage of by others, and they were ignorant. They almost killed tens of thousands of brothers around them. Please see that the grass people didn't hurt these Miao people. For the sake of the grass people, please forgive the brothers in this village. All the sins , It was all committed by me, Lin Bao, if the imperial court wants to kill or cut, just deal with me alone."

On the large deck of the official ship, Lin Bao waited for the leaders of many water villages to arrive, and then knelt down in front of Sun Xiangfu. Beside him, there were some gold and silver treasures. , Kuai, Liu, and Deng's families sent him benefits.

However, although what he said was sincere, the brothers he brought over might not be willing to see him executed like this, gathering together one by one, looking at Sun Xiangfu with nervous eyes, waiting for him to do something. Decision, even if they now know the true intentions of those tyrants, in their hearts, it is really hard to trust the government, because the crows in the world are generally black, and the reason why the tyrants can control the local government is because the officials People come from these powerful families. Their current mentality is more like paying money to buy peace. They just hope that Sun Xiangfu can accept the money and help them block the pressure from the central court.

"Hehe, get up first! My officer, I didn't say that I will punish any of you, but the imperial court will not encourage you to do this kind of behavior, so you have to turn into a tainted witness, testify for the imperial court, and point out that those who want to You can atone for the crimes of the villains who messed up the country and persecuted the people."

Hearing what Sun Xiangfu said, Lin Bao, who was kneeling on the deck, and the leaders of the water village who were watching the fun on the surrounding decks, were actually happy. It seems that this official really wants to solve, or deal with Jingzhou. These local tyrants have become powerful. If so, they are really safe, because they know that as long as the imperial court does not send out the army to destroy them, then their life will not be worse than it is now. No matter how strong the local tycoons No matter how violent they are, they will not send out soldiers to start a war with them. This is something that the court can only do.
