On the fourth day of the second month of Chongning in the fourth year of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, the third day of Si is equivalent to 9:30 am in the modern day.

Just lost to Yu Huzi, he got a new weapon. Compared with the members of the sharp weapon team, Zhao Xiyi was deeply in thought.

Hu Zi was kind and did not take action or urge him, so he should do whatever others should do.

Zhao Xiyi's personality is relatively gloomy, which also shows that he is meticulous and soon realizes that he underestimated the heroes of the world.

Although he had already taken action just now, he was not as powerful as Hu Zi, but he did not arouse enough alertness.

It is not surprising to think that a leader is powerful by chance. He has also encountered several people with powerful martial arts.

Now, compared with those team members who were shocked by the sound of killing, they used the spear in their hands to lift the heavy weight and realized that they were superficial.

There are 200 people here alone. If they are all the same as themselves, that would be amazing. Not to mention being the same as Hu Zi.

They are all like myself, those people are two hundred intermediate officials at the control level, which is amazing!

Not to mention other aspects, just for martial arts, they are qualified military officers, and can enter the officer reserve team and get the officer's food.

As for really leading troops to fight, they just wait for their superiors to send them. It is possible to wait for ten or eight years. What can they learn during this period?

Zhao Xiyi believed that it was not a problem for those who could teach them the martial arts level of martial arts to be the other essential knowledge that military officers must have.

I have a brief understanding of national affairs and a little understanding of the Four Books and Five Classics. Just like myself, I can’t use it even if I have too many.

Zhao Xiyi's thoughts are due to his certain understanding of the military officer system of the Song Dynasty.

He is the kind of person who is ruthless and doesn't talk much. He has a lot of thought about the affairs of the officialdom, so he understands something. He feels that he is a transparent and wise person.

The military officer system in the Song Dynasty was very complicated, divided into official positions and official ranks. Official ranks have nothing to do with officials, but with salary.

If you only have an official rank but no official position, you can only take the opportunity and cannot do anything. That is, you are a military officer, but you do not have a single soldier under your command.

To be representative, one must first be appointed to a certain official position. The title of Zhao Xiyi is a type of official position.

According to regulations, this military officer can manage an army of 1,000 to 5,000 people. It is his purview.

In terms of this authority, how much he does, how much he does, and how effective he does, has nothing to do with the salary he can receive every month.

His salary is determined based on the official rank he had accumulated before, that is, he could only get the salary of that official rank.

However, his official rank has an indirect relationship with his official position. If he does a good job, he will receive a reward, and one of them is promotion.

This promotion is not to promote his official position, but to promote his official position, which is the level that determines the salary.

Whether he has changed his official position and has a higher official position needs to be dispatched separately, and it is up to the emperor or the top to decide.

This dispatch and decision, whether it is the emperor or the peak, was determined based on his performance in his previous official position.

However, this decision is not an inevitable causal relationship, it is not a fixed amount of merit to automatically improve the control of the soldiers.

Therefore, in official positions, they rely entirely on the trust and tendencies of the emperor or the peak, which maximizes control over them.

Simply put, no matter how high the official you are, it is all out of the grace of the emperor.

From this absolute control, we can see that the weak soldiers of the Song Dynasty were all the emperor's responsibilities.

The foreign invaders invaded the land of China, and millions of troops were incompetent, which was not as powerful as their tens of thousands of people.

Under this system, you will have tens of thousands of military officers with both civil and military affairs who are in a hurry and have no military power, and will not work.

On the other hand, millions of troops were preparing for war and raising their strength there. Without military officers, they were also a group of sheep in front of the evil wolf.

Experienced old farmers know that when sheep encounter evil wolves, they don’t scream, and they will only squeeze into a bunch of them waiting to die.

In their subconscious, if a call is probably caused by the evil wolf, they will eat themselves first.

It’s a pity that this stupid military policy is “the generals have no constant soldiers, and the soldiers have no constant generals”. Those shallow emperors still think they have a plan.

It has been used from beginning to end, and has not changed until the demise of the Song Dynasty.

He is really stupider and more hateful than the sheep who are waiting to die in groups.

Let’s talk about the military officer system of the Song Dynasty.

The one who determines the salary of a military officer is his official rank. The military officers of the Song Dynasty had a total of fifty-two levels, and each level corresponds to a different rank.

From a first-rank Taiwei to a ninth-rank honest man.

These ranks and official ranks have no equal relationship with official positions. When holding official positions, they need to be temporarily dispatched by the emperor or superiors.

For example, Zhao Xiyi's rule is the result of temporary assignment.

The official rank and rank used to determine salary are detailed and determined, and the number of official positions is relatively small, so it is possible that several official ranks correspond to one official position.

For example, Zhao Xiyi's official rank is the 30th rank of Yiweilang, and his rank is from the seventh rank, which is fixed.

But there are about ten official ranks who can be the candidate for the rule.

In addition to the rank and rank military officers, there are also rank and rank military officers. They are all outside the ninth rank.

I don’t know how many, but there are many people anyway.

There are countless of these famous officials and unknown officials.

It should be noted that the estimated number of officials among them is no more than one tenth.

What is even more incredible is that these nine out of ten people are not that they don’t want to do it.

But this is the case with the Song Dynasty system, and they are deliberately not allowed to do it.

This is the unique and strange scenery of the Song Dynasty, and I am ordered to be a lazy man.

From this we can see where the redundant officials and expenses in the Song Dynasty came from - from the system.

Think about it, after entering the official rank system, you may not use it once in your life.

But there were ten or eight people waiting there, doing nothing, how much salary would they have to pay?

This is just a formal establishment. In addition, there are also names such as scattered officials, honorary officials, and post-official positions, and they are all supported by high salaries and do not work.

In other words, their righteous and openly obedient group only pays money and does not work.

In addition, all these officials must retire when they reach a certain age and are no longer included in the dispatched ranks, but their salaries must be reduced by half.

Rational expenses, in addition to salary, are also indispensable expense items for holiday rewards, celebrations or special days.

That is to say, as long as you enter the official series, regardless of whether you do things or not, your salary will be a job.

From then on, the biggest risk is to make mistakes while working, and you may be deprived of your official rank or reduced your salary at that time.

Therefore, in order to avoid this risk, it is best not to do anything, and when there is a dispatch, let others go and not look for yourself.

So, why do we rush to do this kind of dispatch errand that is both affected and risky?

This question is obviously a novice in politics.

Normally, few people can satisfy the status quo, right?

Although there is no risk in not doing anything, you also have no chance to advance. That is level 52!

It takes fifty-two years to climb the first level in a year.

As you can imagine, don’t think about anything else, just keep your head shut, it’s enough for you to be busy.

The higher you climb, the higher your glory and wealth.

This is the principle of seeking wealth and danger in danger. Children all know that if you don’t understand this, how did you get into this circle?

Another attractive normal way is to have a lot of job subsidies when doing things, which are closely related to the degree of hard work of the job.

With the Song Dynasty, the care of officials was very thoughtful, and probably the idea of ​​maintaining high salaries.

In fact, few officials of the Song Dynasty embezzled, except for the largest emperor.

In addition to these two right paths, there is another evil way, which is to make extra money by yourself.

The prerequisite for doing this is to get the dispatch of the officer first. If you don’t want to get it, you can’t make it.

At the same time, there were endless party struggles in the Song Dynasty and the government's political situation was inverted, which actually gave officials at all levels many opportunities to take advantage of their mistakes.

A person who has not accumulated military merits may be able to make great efforts when he sees the wind, and will be appreciated by the top, giving you a fat and lack of energy.

If you have a profound skill in your skills, you can even alarm the heavens and directly allow you to receive the emperor's visit.

Then you will jump into the dragon gate and the loach will turn into a dragon.

Seeing that, this distribution system has this flexibility and gives people who have no hope for additional opportunities.

It depends on how those emperors and powerful ministers use it.

Some bad things in the Song Dynasty did not necessarily mean that the system was bad, and those who implemented the system were the key.

But the words cannot be absolute. Why can officials who can make good systems fail to work well or even become tools for tigers to gain power?

This is a system issue.

The way to treat headaches and feet is not only unable to solve the problem, but also cannot find the root cause of the problem.

During the Song Dynasty, various reforms and changes in regulations have always been very lively.

Especially the reform of various economic regulations has provided local governments with additional bonus opportunities and has also opened the door to facilitate the officials to make extra money.

Because of these reasons, there are obvious potential benefits for all, which make everyone unable to fight for the dispatch of any official.
