Chapter 71 Official Prestige
Then there is a tooth card.
The Ming Huidian records that in the sixth year of Yongle (1408), the decision was made by any entourage officials who had tooth cards, they must hang them with them to prevent entry and exit from the gate. In addition, officials in Beijing all wore tooth cards. The so-called tooth cards were made of ivory and engraved with official positions above and divided into five grades: Gong, Hou, and Bo had titles with titles, the son-in-law used the character "xun", the prince-in-law used the character "wen", the civil servant used the character "wu", and the military officer used the character "guan". Such tooth cards must not be borrowed from others, nor must be borrowed from others, otherwise they will be punished. The tooth cards were hung around the waist, with a card ear underneath, and ivory or cow bones were used as tubes, and green thread knots were used.
Of course, Qin Zhao's tooth card has the character "wu", with his own official position and name on it, and on the contrary, Emperor Gaozu Zhu Yuanzhang's admonition: "God blesses the people, and I will lead the support of China. It is really based on the tiger minister. I will give you gold talismans and pass on his descendants forever."
Qin Zhao took over the official robe and other things, and the three Jinyiwei were about to go back.
The four clerks behind the Jinyiwei looked at Qin Zhao with a gaze, hoping that Qin Zhao would reward them with some money. They were also from the angels, and they were also considered members of the angels.
Qin Zhao became an official today and was in a good mood. He took out two taels of silver from his arms and threw it to the clerks.
The clerks are extremely powerful in front of the people, and they are like slags in front of real officials of the court. Although Qin Zhao is only a fifth-rank Qian family, they cannot afford to offend them. What's more, Qin Zhao's Qian family is different from ordinary people. Xiangshan County has been very fierce recently, saying that Qin Zhao fought with the prefect as a villager, but because he brought the Zheng family in, he ended up defeating the prefect.
And now it's an imperial edict to be promoted.
What does the imperial edict mean? It means the appointment of the captain of the armed police in a small county town in later generations. Suddenly, a chairman order came. Do you think such an armed police captain is so scary? Who dares to mess with it?
Qin Zhao gave the clerks a hundred courage, and they didn't dare to mess with him.
Qin Zhao threw two taels of silver over, and the four of them dared not think it was too little. They knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Qin Zhao.
The hundreds of households of Jinyiwei looked at the cringe of the clerks and knew that the thousand households in front of him were of extraordinary energy. He suddenly felt that although this trip was full of dust, it was also a good thing to get to know Qin Zhao, the newly promoted thousand households.
"Qianhuguan, my name is Wang Gui."
After a smile, Wang Gui, a hundred households of Jinyiwei, said: "I think Qianyiwei will be promoted soon. I still want to go there again and be the imperial guards again!"
Qin Zhao laughed and said, "Thank you the auspicious words of the angel!"
...
After sending away the imperial emblem guard, Qin Zhao returned home and changed into an official robe.
Suddenly, a young and promising military officer from the Ming Dynasty appeared in Qinjia Village.
The people of Qinjia Village have never seen such a large official? They have never even seen a county magistrate in their lives. The biggest official they have ever seen is the Jinyiwei Baihu who had just arrived to pass the orders, the sixth rank. When Qin Zhao came out wearing a fifth rank official robe, the villagers of Qinjia Village were stunned.
Big red official robe.
The county magistrate's official robes are all green.
When they saw Qin Zhao, they didn't dare to stand and knelt on the ground.
"Hello, Mr. Qianhu!"
"Master Qianhu!"
"Hello, Mr. Qianhu!"
Qin Zhao walked from the west entrance of Qinjia Village to the east entrance in his official robe. Except for Qin Youli who was bowing and following behind, all the villagers knelt on the ground, and no one dared to look up in front of Qin Zhao.
Qin Zhao walked along the way, and the people shouted "Master Qianhu" all the way, as if they no longer had the leisure of the past.
Qin Zhao took a breath and thought to himself that although the Ming Dynasty was shaky, the authority of the imperial court was still powerful.
If the people are robbed by rioters, the people can scold the thief after they are robbed, and they can appeal to the local officials and hope the court will deal with it. If they fight with officials and are pushed down by officials using power techniques, then the people who are pressed down will not be declared anywhere, and no one dares to sympathize with them.
As the saying goes, the people do not fight with officials.
Qin Zhao is now a fifth-rank military officer, and from then on, he has a clear distinction between the status of these people. They are people and Qin Zhao is an official. Even though Qin Zhao is still the 17-year-old boy, the villagers suddenly changed their impression of Qin Zhao and regarded Qin Zhao as a noble and prestigious official.
Qin Zhao could no longer regain his identity as a villain, and he always had to wear the clothes of the imperial officials.
Qin Zhao said to Qin Youli who was following behind: "Look at the old accountant, I scared them all!"
Qin Youli's waist bent to more than 60 degrees in front of Qin Zhao, bowed and said, "The master first blew a tiger to death, and then invented the spring soft chair. Now he suddenly became a 5th-rank imperial official, and the villagers were all scared by the master's methods. The power of this fifth-rank official is here, and no villagers are trembling all over?"
Qin Zhao laughed and said, "It's all people of the tribe. How can it be so scammered like this?"
He walked to the front of the ancestral hall and said, "Qin Youli, ask the villagers to get up and all come to the door of the ancestral hall."
Qin Youli agreed and went over and called people: "All up, all up!" "Attack, you're afraid of what kind of appearance? Isn't it the original Brother Zhao? Why don't you dare to stand up?" "Rare, stand up! Did you take the silver reward for Brother Zhao to kill a tiger? Brother Zhao still gave you silver, what are you afraid of?"
The people looked at each other on the ground for a while and gradually stood up. Under Qin Youli's call, they gradually gathered at the entrance of the Qin Family Ancestral Hall and looked at Qin Zhao standing on the threshold.
Qin Zhao stood on the top and said loudly: "My villagers! Don't be afraid of me, I am still the former Qin Zhao and the tribe member I wait for."
"Today I, Qin Zhao, became an official and became a fifth-rank official in the court, but this does not mean that my heart has changed. I am still the same Qin Zhao who killed a tiger. I will still do my best to help the tribe members and let all tribe members live a good life."
When Qin Youli heard this, he shouted loudly: "Okay! Mr. Qianhu said it well!"
The people woke up as if they were in a dream and shouted: "Okay! Mr. Qianhu said it well!"
"Master Qianhu said it well!"
Qin Zhao laughed and said, "Today is a happy day. I want to have fun in Qinjia Village. I paid to buy a pig, two sheep in the county to come and ten jars of old wine. Today, everyone let go of drinking and eating meat, and have fun!"
Hearing Qin Zhao's words, stars emerged from the eyes of the people.
Qianhu Qin Zhao wanted to invite villagers to drink and eat meat.
Qin Zhao has been promoted to Qianhu, but he still has not forgotten the tribe members of Qinjia Village! The first thing he did when he took office was to invite the villagers to drink!
Brother Zhao is still young, only seventeen years old, and he will still be promoted in the future! He never forgets his tribe like this, and the people in Qinjia Village will be promoted to heaven in the future!
To follow Zhao Ge'er closely, you must follow Zhao Ge'er's pace. In any case, even if you sharpen your head, you have to squeeze into Zhao Ge'er's soft chair workshop or a team of servants. Or like Qin Youli, Qin Ning and others, you can be a close confidant of Zhao Ge'er and do errands back and forth, which is even more promising.
The villagers' eyes were shiny, and they all looked at Qin Zhao and couldn't speak.
Until a child's call broke the silence.
"Oh! Oh! I've eaten meat! I've eaten mutton today!" Qin Yuanhao's daughter Ying'er clapped her hands and said, "Brother Zhao! I want to eat mutton! Brother Zhao, I want to eat mutton!"
Ying'er has been playing with the children and the teenagers in the village. Two or three years ago, Qin Zhao was also her playmate. The adults were afraid of Qin Zhao's thousands of households, but the children still didn't know how to be afraid and said Wuji's childish words.
