Zouping.

Qingyang Villa.

In the side hall, Qin Qiong and Luo Feng held a teacup in their hands, a little absent-minded.

Qin Qiong originally wanted to ask Zhishilang about the matter directly when facing Luo and Gu in person, but now his close relatives have passed away, so it is hard to ask at this time.

Wang Bo blew tea and said, "Shubao, I heard that you are very respected under the command of Duke Rong of Dengzhou. You are from the ninth-rank Li Xinwei."

"I just came to be handsome and took a scattered rank for me. In fact, I am still just an unemployed personal soldier." Qin Qiong said.

After the founding of the Sui Dynasty, a detailed system of official titles was established, including officials, scattered ranks, medals, and titles.

The highest rank of the sanguan is the special promotion of the second rank, and from the second rank to the fourth rank, they are all officials. In addition, the eighth rank, eighth rank, eighth rank, and sixteenth rank, were set up in the sixth to ninth rank, and there are also eleventh ranks, including Kaifu Yitong Sansi to the governor.

By the third year of Daye, the official system was changed, the rank was changed, and the special officials were abolished, the eighth lieutenant, and the eleventh rank were abolished. The court discussed the officials, and the scattered honors were merged. After the finalization, the dispersed positions were from the first to the ninth rank.

Li Xinwei is the lowest level in the San rank, from the ninth level.

The scattered ranks in the Sui Dynasty were somewhat different from those in the Tang Dynasty. First of all, the scattered ranks of civil and military ranks had not been established separately, and the provision that one must first have ranks when one has a position.

Therefore, the scattered rank of the Sui Dynasty was actually equivalent to a professional title, such as a chief clerk, who was a director at the level, but in fact he was still a clerk and had no position.

Qin Qiong is a ninth-grade personal guard soldier, but he just became a mate who didn’t even have a formal rank. Among the soldiers in the mansion, at least he had to be a team deputy.

However, just a mate leader has already reached the ninth-level scattered level, which does prove that Qin Qiong is very important to protect himself.

"Shubao, I was also a military officer back then. I didn't have such good skills and luck at your age. I joined the army for ten years, and when I was thirty, I fought several tough battles. I only fought back from the ninth rank, but I retired from the army because of my injuries. I went to Qi County to be a prison, and then I joined the army for ten years. But later I was imprisoned due to a lawsuit and almost lost my life."

Wang Bo sighed, "When I see you young people, I can't help but feel that I am really old. It's really a talented person in the country. Every generation is stronger than the next."

"Brother Wang is joking, how can we compare to your generation? Although life goes ups and downs, aren't they all making a comeback? Look at Qingyang Villa's size and Brother Wang is so respected in the village. This is really a life of enviable people." Luo Feng said on the side.

Speaking of which, he really admires Wang Bo in his heart. He is indeed capable, and he can do it today.

"What's the matter of making a comeback? It's just a waste of life, and it's getting harder and harder. When the late emperor was in the past, the world was peaceful in Kaihuang Renshou and the people still lived a life of peace. Although the court's household registration was strictly checked and the rent was tight, at least there were rules."

"But you said that since the Emperor of Daye ascended the throne, he has been determined to create great things, but it has been a pain for us ordinary people. This is to build the Eastern Capital, build the North and South Canals, build the Great Wall of Yulin, and open up the Western Regions. Now we are going to fight against Goguryeo in the east, and we will not wait for one, but it has been a pain for the people."

Speaking of Emperor Daye, Wang Bo was indeed dissatisfied with it, and he couldn't help but speak directly to Qin Qiong, the soldier.

"In recent years, the government has recruited strong men every year. The system was originally a free service for 20 days a year. Those who exceeded the service could be reduced or exempted from rents, but in fact, they would not be allowed to serve over the period of time. Many tenants and neighbors in our village had been in service for almost three months last year, and even middle-aged men who were only sixteen years old were recruited to serve."

"A fourteen-year-old boys were summoned to be a lie in the county and county dynasties, and they were only sent to recruit women to work as servants."

"But has the government reduced the rent and transferred for so long after serving for so long? No, they will be recruited."

"When talking about this rented mediocre, I have to say something else. In the past, the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, according to the old rules of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the equalization of land was promoted. The people could be given a hundred acres of land if they became a resident, and women and middle-aged men could also be given half of the land, and even oxen and slaves could be given a land."

"But in recent years, oxen and slaves have no longer been able to give land, women have no land, and middle-aged men have no land to give land. Even if they have become students, there is no land to give land."

"The land is not allowed, but rent and transfer are still indispensable. Nowadays, there are several families who have truly given up enough land, and more and more families have no land to cultivate. They all planted lands of officials and nobles. The lands of noble officials are crisscrossing, but the poor have no place to stand."

"The court said that he wanted to conquer Goguryeo, so he asked the rich people in the world to raise horses. If I, Wang Boluo, had some assets, the government assigned me to raise ten horses, and they had to be war horses. Now that the horse prices are rising, I have to buy a large price to buy ten good horses from outside the pass. This war horse is not as good as picking up horses. It usually takes fine feed to raise one horse. On average, a horse costs 30,000 yuan per horse, but the government only gives me 20,000 yuan per horse, which is less than half the cost of buying a horse, let alone the expense of raising horses. Isn't this disguised blackmail and exploitation?"

"Also, I have paid the rent and service every year as much as possible, but after paying the rent, the court has not finished it yet. During the Kaihuang period, the court asked the local government to set up a social warehouse to encourage everyone to voluntarily store grain into the warehouse to prepare for disasters. Now, in Daye, the social warehouse has been changed to a name warehouse, which was originally managed by the social warehouse hosted by the village. "

"Even before, voluntary food payments have become the annual levy of grain based on the wealth of the family and the land amount. My Wang Bo's households and others have been designated as first-class, and the land is also designated as first-class. Why should I have to set up my family wealth in such a place, but many officials have to set up their fourth-class?"

Wang Bo became more angry as he said, "I, Wang Bo, have to pay a lot more in a year for this charity grain in a charity warehouse. Even the charity grain is several times higher than the rent and regular tax. Isn't this blood sucking?"

"I came to a new county town a few days ago. I heard that I was a veteran in the battlefield. As soon as I took office, I was in a hurry. I asked the counties to send grain and send people to the county, and I wanted to train the county soldiers and catch the thieves. I agreed with the thieves, but after this order, the county started to levy various entrusting again. The clerks and hijacks even took the opportunity to blackmail. It was time to harvest autumn, and there were not a few men left in the village at home. Now even these young and old have to be summoned to the county town for training. Isn't this nonsense?"

Luo Feng said, "Yes, the labor force is heavy, the levy is too much, and the people are burdened with great burden. Now the ground is getting less and less peaceful. Not long ago, eighteen blue ghosts were rampant in counties. Now, Zhishilang is coming out, and he is even more bold. He robbed grain and tied up people, which shocked the county town."

"I think this Zhilang is manly enough. He has done what many people want to do. It is said that officials force the people to rebel, and they have to rebel."

Qin Qiong smiled bitterly.

"I'm not hiding it from Brother Wang, in fact, I came to see my brother today because this Zhishilang was so troubled. Now the cable reports say that my brother is this Zhishilang. Now I'm here, I just want to ask you in person. I heard you tell me the truth, Brother Wang, if you really are that Zhishilang, just say it."

Wang Bo's expression remained unchanged and his eyes were staring at Qin Qiong.

"Shubao, you are here to get the old brother."

"Brother Wang, if I, Qin Qiong, are here to get you today, then I will bring the county soldiers, but I don't. I'm here, just want to know the truth."

Wang Bo's expression remained unchanged.
