The greatest honor of the Song Dynasty's tribute was that Shi Huang was appointed as an official.

After the Ming Jing of the Tang Dynasty, after the Jinshi was promoted, he only obtained the qualification to be an official, and he could not directly become an official.

You must pass the Ministry of Personnel's Selection Examination and pass the qualification before you can be granted official positions. Take off your cloak and put on your official uniform, which is the so-called "separation of brown and appointment as an official".

Therefore, many scholars in the Tang Dynasty, who were still a commoner after their Jinshi and were unable to be appointed as officials, and thus had a 20-year-old man without receiving any salary.

Like Han Yu, a literary master of the generation, he is such an unlucky person.

In the eighth year of Zhenyuan, he passed the imperial examination. Because he failed the examination in the Ministry of Personnel, he had not yet entered the officialdom for three years.

So in the eleventh year of Zhenyuan, he wrote to the prime minister three times to seek official positions, claiming that he had won four of the Ministry of Rites, but he chose three of them to the Ministry of Personnel and failed to succeed.

I hope to get one and half of the position through the recommendation of the prime minister of the current dynasty, but the result was that I did not receive any mercy on the three letters.

He had no choice but to leave Chang'an, the capital, and be an aide under Dong Jin, the governor of Xuanwu Army. He was appointed as an observer and promoted official, and then he embarked on the career.

Such a painful experience was impossible in the Song Dynasty.

In the early Song Dynasty, the rules since the Five Dynasties were inherited, but since the second year of Taiping Xingguo, Jinshi and all the students passed the imperial examination, and those who were born in the imperial examination could be all given a prescription without going through the pass.

According to convention, the first and second-class Jinshi and the nine classics were appointed as the chief minister, the Dali judge, and the general magistrate of the states.

He was from the same Jinshi and various subjects, and was sent to the Ministry of Personnel, and was exempted from the selection of senior officials and was awarded the title of junior college. He was sentenced to the Secretariat.

The second year of Jiayou was a very special year.

On the one hand, due to convention, Chinese candidates can be admitted to the official without passing the pass.

On the other hand, Zhao Zhen announced for the first time that the palace examination would not be dismissed.

Moreover, after one year later, by the third year of Jiayou, the new Jinshi was slightly lower than the previous stage, which often reduced the grace of the new Jinshi.

In other words, the candidates for Jiayou's second year were really lucky.

After passing the provincial examination, you don’t have to worry about being demoted. After the palace examination, you don’t need to be an official directly. When you are awarded an official position, you will be awarded a higher position. You are really lucky.

It doesn't work year or later.

After a good time, many new Jinshi were very happy, and the court also appointed officials as usual, the second and third persons were awarded Dali judges, and they were also the magistrates of the states;

Fourth, the fifth person was appointed as the proofreader of the Secretariat and the two envoys of the judges of the Department of Official Affairs;

The first and second places are given two envoys and second places are given primary positions.

Third, the fourth appointee is awarded the title of the Situation Guard. The fifth appointee is waiting to be awarded the title of the official.

However, there is one person who is the new top scorer Ouyang Bian.

Ouyang Bian directly appointed him as the chief supervisor.

It looks different, but it is actually a routine.

In the sixth year of Taizu Kaibao, the palace examination system was established, and the rank of Jinshi and the first-class official award was improved.

Since there are examples to follow, it is not considered an out-of-standard.

Renzong has always been cautious in his work. He can say that he is timid, but as an emperor, it is a good thing to be able to do this level.

If you really do anything to be awarded an official position, it will be detrimental to Ouyang Bian.

This kind of thing has happened before. In March of the fifth year of Qiande, Menxia Province directly appointed Li Su, a Jinshi, to plan the Baoshun Army's Jiedushi.

The Secretary-General's appointment as an official was rejected because it did not meet the requirements of "Shaoyin Mushima County Officials' Requirements for the Campaign for the Examination of Prefectures and County Officials".

If Renzong gave Ouyang Bian an exception to the appointment of an official position, let alone whether the prime minister could pass, even if he passed, it would cause dissatisfaction, which would have a significant impact on Ouyang Bian, who was already young.

However, there are reasons why the Song Dynasty was so easy to be appointed. The officials, positions and dispatches in the Song Dynasty were separated, and the appointment of officials was only a salary and did not require actual jobs.

This is also the reason for redundant officials.

Many official positions are given every year. Although you don’t need to be sent to each, you have to give your salary, right?

Over time, even if there are mountains of gold and silver, they will be killed.

This is why Zhao Zhen attaches so much importance to Ouyang Bian.

Therefore, while the other new Jinshi were still wandering in the forest, Ouyang Bian had already appeared in the Sansi.

Ouyang Bian stood in front of the gate of Sansi and carefully watched the imperial financial center.

This department is crowded with people and crowded. Compared with other departments, the golden copper coins flowing here are so exciting, so it is normal for many people here.

However, in addition to the officials working here and the handyman servants in the Sanshi, there are many people who come to ask for money.

There are officials from prefectures and counties, as well as military generals who seem to be powerful in Kong Wu, and of course, there are also many officials who seem to be superior in Beijing, which are bustling and lively.

This is Sansi!

Ouyang Bian praised him.

The Song Dynasty was inherently deficient, so it had to maintain a massive army all year round. Under the pressure of war, the problems of recruiting troops were caused by the increasing demand for salaries of more and more officials, so the Song Dynasty had to implement unprecedented centralization of finances.

Later generations mixed praises and criticisms of the Three Sessions. Some people thought that this was a bad institution, and the root cause of the poverty and weakness of the Song Dynasty was here.

Because before the Song Dynasty, local governments had financial power, so after the central government was often defeated by foreign enemies, local governments were able to organize troops to continue to resist because the local governments had money and food.

But once the central government of the Song Dynasty was defeated, the entire empire would be paralyzed and there was no way to organize resistance because the local area was poorer.

But Sansi also has advantages.

Its most prominent advantage lies in its high unity and unity.

It can not only manage tax collections in a unified manner, but also manage fiscal expenditures to a certain extent, and can even effectively coordinate financial accounting through financial supervision power.

However, Ouyang Bian is very clear that the shortcomings of things are often born from advantages.

The advantages of the Sansi system stem from its integration of financial management, but the disadvantages were also born.

The three departments not only need to interfere in local financial planning, but also need to be responsible for financial inspections, financial cashiers, civil engineering, military equipment manufacturing and water conservancy projects and some civil affairs.

This makes its responsibilities too heavy and there are too many things to deal with.

Under the social conditions at that time, no matter how complex and huge its structure or how concentrated its power, it was extremely difficult to effectively control the operation of the entire financial machine without problems.

Looking at the bustling crowds of crowds, Ouyang Bian couldn't help but feel suspicious and fearful.

Can I really show my strength in such a huge institution?

Even if the Sansi envoy was Bao Zheng and Wang Anshi was the second-in-command, even so, could he really be instructed to such a huge institution?

Just when Ouyang Bian was afraid and confused, Wang Anshi came out of it and waved to Ouyang Bian with a smile.

This action made many people look at each other.

As the second in command of the Sansi Envoy, Wang Anshi controlled the wealth of this empire. Here, he was the ruler of one person and ten thousand people.

Whether it is an official or a logistics staff member who works in it, or an officer and general who comes to Qian Jin to the department, he must rest.

And now the second-in-command actually went out in person to greet an official in green robe, and this official looked like he was only in his teens?

Hey, this is Ouyang Bian, the new top pick in the subject!

Someone suddenly realized.

Ouyang Bian is Wang Anshi's student, which is well-known. It is natural for teachers to take care of students.

Then Wang Anshi came out to show everyone a gesture, which was nothing more than sending a signal - this is my student, and you all give me the key points.
