During the Song Dynasty, the official system was extremely complicated.
However, it generally follows the official system of the Tang Dynasty, and is divided into nine ranks, and each rank is divided into regular followers. In addition to the regular followers, positions below the fourth rank are divided into superiors and inferiors. As a result, a total of twenty-nine ranks were formed.
Based on these official ranks, the twenty-ninth rank of Wensan official and the thirty-first rank of Wusan official were determined.
However, these official ranks have little effect, and can only determine the color and accessories of the official uniform.
During the Zhenghe period, the officials felt that the official class in the theater was not suitable, so they made another large-scale change.
The original twenty-ninth-level literary officials were thirty-seven, and the martial officials also had the previous thirty-one levels, 52. At the same time, the twelve levels of eunuchs and 14th levels of medical officials were opened. But overall, their nature has not changed much.
Digonglang, formerly known as General Shilang.
When he is a scattered official at the twenty-ninth level, he is the lowest level of official rank.
After changing to the 37th-level official rank, Shilang was renamed Digonglang and was still ranked at the bottom.
Digonglang was a scattered official rank and had no dispatch.
In other words, even if Gao Yu got this position, he did not have any real power. The only advantage was that he had an official position and had a certain salary. However, with the 37th-level official rank, his salary would not be too much, just a status...
However, the Gao family is not short of money!
Gao Qiu is a quick-moving person who knows how to make money.
Although he, the Grand Marshal, was not of high rank, had really made a lot of money after being in charge of the Three Secretariat for eleven years.
The salary of a Digonglang is not in his eyes. The most important thing is that if Gao Yu has this official position, he is no longer an ordinary person.
This is the most important thing.

"Father is not fair!"
Gao Yaofu rushed out of the room angrily and headed straight out of the mansion.
Behind him, his mother Lin was also quite helpless and could only look at his back and shake her head repeatedly.
Of course she understood Gao Yaofu's depression, but what could it be? She was just a concubine. Gao Yaofu was just a concubine. Before Gao Yu came back, Gao Qiu attached great importance to Gao Yaofu and often favored him.
But now, Gao Yu is back.
He was the legitimate son of Liang.
This identity alone suppressed Gao Yaofu. Not to mention how much hardship Gao Yu suffered after 15 years of wandering outside? It is said that before he came back, he helped his third uncle Gao Jie resist bandits in Xucheng, and almost lost his life. Whether it was Gao Qiu or Liang, he felt guilty towards Gao Yu. Although Gao Yaofu had tried to get to know him, he was not as good as Gao Yu's status.
This is fate!
Lin knew very well that she could not change.
Besides, Liang has always been very nice to her, and after Gao Yu came back, he also kept polite to her.
Lin knew that Gao Yaofu felt uncomfortable, but there was no way... Gao Qiu and Liang were poor couples, and their love was deep.
If Gao Yaofu wants to improve his status, there is only one way, that is, pass the provincial examination and participate in the palace examination.
Even if you don’t win the top three, you will have a bright future.
But if he can't pass the test, then the result...
When Lin thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh.
She looked at the sky, walked out of the room, ready to greet Liang.
There is no way, who made her a concubine, and who made Liang's son come back? Gao Yu's appearance made Liang's status more stable.
Bianliang, on the banks of the Cai River.
A restaurant is built by the river, and there is a Caimen Huan Tower in front of the left door.
Sitting in the pavilion facing the river, you can enjoy the scenery while tasting wine and looking at the rainbow bridge under the sunset, and there is another view.
Gao Yaofu sat in the pavilion, but was unwilling to enjoy the scenery.
On the river surface, two colorful boats came slowly and approached the restaurant.
Gao Yaofu did not pay attention, but picked up the "Bi Bowl" and drank the wine in the bowl.
This green bowl is a glass bowl. During the Song Dynasty, glass products were rare, so in the big restaurants, most of which were imported from Persia and Eastern Roman countries, which were expensive. And because of the fragile texture, they were not allowed to use them, not high-ranking officials and nobles.
Bianliang City in the second year of Xuanhe was a city that gluttons loved.
There are nearly a thousand kinds of dishes that are not dubbed, and the dishes are so rich that they are dazzling.
The restaurant where Gao Yaofu is located is called Wanglou, and it is also one of the 72 main stores in Bianliang City.
Its distinctive spin-fried sheep white intestines, spicy feet, and frozen fish head are well-known in Bianliang City, and can be regarded as a masterpiece.
Gao Yaofu was in a depressed mood and didn't find anyone to accompany him.
He sat alone in the pavilion, eating wine, thinking about things, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable.
"Why, why?"
He muttered, then picked up the green bowl, took a sip of wine, and said to himself: "What kind of virtue does Gao Xiaosi have? Why should he be taken care of by his family as soon as he comes back? Even the officials look at him differently. I studied hard and had passed the provincial examination. After passing the provincial examination, I can participate in the palace examination. At that time, I can no longer know the political affairs of a party in the third grade of high school, but I can't compare to him, a ignorant guy? My father is unfair, the official family is unfair, God is unfair!"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but roar, trying to express his inner depression.
But at this time, I heard a voice coming from the next pavilion: "Where are the birds coming from? They are so loud that they make my grandfather unable to drink."
"You're just clamoring. What's the matter with you when you eat your own wine?"
If it were before, Gao Yaofu would have endured it.
But today, he was holding his breath in his heart. How could he swallow his anger when he heard someone shouting and scolding?
I heard a noise in the pavilion next to me, and then someone leaned out and was stunned when he saw Gao Yaofu.
"It turned out that Yanei was eating wine here, and he still said who it was."
"Who are you?"
Gao Yaofu was drunk and confused, and looked at the man and said, "Grandpa, but I can't recognize you."
"Haha, it's normal that the nobles of Yanei forget things, and it's not enough to remember them.
Last month, Xiao Wang Yane held a banquet in Panlou. Xiao Di went to Sibo and once respected Yanei. Could it be that Yanei forgot?"
Sibo is the one who pours soup and sings and offers fruits for guests before the Bianliang banquet.
The main purpose is to pass the loneliness for guests, to have time, and to have a lively atmosphere... Most of these people have flexible eyelids and some skills. When Gao Yaofu heard this, he glanced at the man and said for a while: "I remember you, your name is Guo Jing."
"Ha, Yanei has a good memory."
Guo Jing has beautiful eyebrows and a pretty face.
He smiled and said, "Why are the only ones who are alone in the yamen? If you don't dislike it, Xiaodi is still lively. Several good friends from Bianliang have heard of the yamen for a long time and want to get to know the yamen. How about you join us and enjoy the boredom?"
If he was awake, Gao Yaofu would never agree.
His dignified son of the Grand Marshal is about to take the provincial examination, how could he be with Guo Jing and others?
But he was irritated at this moment, and Guo Jing was eloquent, which made him quite appreciate it, so he couldn't help but feel excited.
"Why are you eating wine? I'm afraid you're going to do anything.
Come on, I'll go over here and fight you."
"Haha, among the yamen, Xiaodi is definitely not an opponent. But Xiaodi's friend is so powerful, so don't regret it."
"I'm afraid you won't succeed, wait for me!"
Gao Yaofu said, then turned around and walked out shaking.
Chapter completed!
