Chapter 862: The study room of the flat jar

The study is very large, and it is completely like a naturalist's room.

There are all kinds of brass mechanical models that can be seen clearly, some strange animal skeletons, huge bullet cases, some small animal specimens, shells, corals, various ores, various strange instruments, rulers...

Hachiko said: "I have put away all the fragile and dangerous ones. Now this is the study room of Ping Can."

There are slide rails installed under the bookcase at the back of the house. It faces people from the side and looks like a wooden wall. When I pulled it out, I found it was a cabinet.

There is a form on the cabinet with a bibliography written on it.

However, none of the books listed in the catalog are now in the cabinet. They are all various picture albums, problem books, toys and the like.

Zhao Xu randomly took out a book and opened it. On the top was a pattern of countless small squares. On the bottom was a question - if you look at it from the front as shown in Figure A, from the side as shown in Figure B, and from above as shown in Figure C, then what is the object's size?

Which of the following is the stereogram?

Everything in the front was relatively simple. After turning to the fifth page, Zhao Xu became a little angry and couldn't do it... The four answers to A, B, C and D all looked so right...

Forget it, change the book, open it, it is a pattern made of matchsticks - please move a match to reverse the pattern.

Or else - please move a match so that the equation holds!

I'll change again!

This is a fun book. There are two identical pictures in one question... Wait, please find five differences in the two pictures below?!

?!

Zhao Xu stared at the two pictures for a while. He could only find three places and two more, so he closed the book helplessly.

I couldn’t help but be curious, damn, I’ll buy another one! The last one!

This book is full of cute little animals. Monkey plus rabbit plus chicken equals one number, monkey plus turtle plus chicken equals one number, turtle plus chicken plus rabbit equals one number...chicken plus chicken plus...the numbers are not big.

, that’s it!

That's not right...I can't get it together...

Show the notebook to everyone: "Is there a mistake in this question? It doesn't make sense..."

Several people calculated for a long time: "Well, there seems to be a problem. Hachiko, can you do it?"

Hachiko came over and took a look: "Oh, I can't do it either, but I can know how to do it. He said that these are two kinds of chickens, one with large combs and one with small combs. If you treat them as one kind of chicken, you are not paying attention to observation."

…”

Everyone looked again, and sure enough, the two chickens had the same feathers, except for the comb.

Zhao Xu closed the question book in despair: "Hachi, is the food ready? We are a little hungry..."

The New Year's Eve dinner at Sujiazhuangzi is very sumptuous. The specialty dishes are braised white rice, twice-cooked pork, crispy pork elbow with radish, three delicacies of squid, vermicelli in chicken soup, pickled cabbage and blood soup, roasted eel with garlic, roasted duck with konjac...

Several new dishes, including stir-fried carrot shreds with lard residue sprinkled with green garlic, stir-fried cauliflower with bacon, stir-fried red rapeseed, and sweet and sour lotus root, were the most praised by Zhao Xu.

The Su family eats exquisitely. The white radish is peeled for cooking, but the skin is not wasted. The pickles made from the skin are sweet and sour and are very popular.

Zhao Xu felt that it was much better than the method in the palace. Everything could be made into delicacies, and it was delicious and not wasted.

Hachigong didn't know who the Prince Consort's relative was, so he kept asking him to eat sea cucumbers: "Young official, don't always eat vegetarian dishes. Eat more of this. I heard that this is a good thing, and it is sold out in the city."

The goods are ready…”

Zhao Xu: "..."

Zhao Xu and the others left after disturbing Sujia Zhuangzi for a while, and Bian Guan did not come back until evening.

Hearing that Princess Wei had come to visit a kind old woman, Bian Guan jumped up and ran to meet her.

When he came back, he brought a bunch of rewards and told Hachigong that it was the imperial grandmother who lived in the house of a boss in Bianjing City.

Hachigong didn't take it seriously either. A relative of the Zhang family was named Huang, and that was his cousin. However, the old sister seemed to have a cough, so she asked Bian Guan to send some Sichuan clams over.

The Wei family had a hot spring and a pond. Empress Dowager Cao rested for a few days and felt her chest was a little looser, so she returned to the palace.

Zhao Xu performed his filial piety here and enjoyed it for a few days. Before leaving, he specially asked Zhang Dunli and Sujiazhuangzi to bring a cart of big cracked white radishes and several baskets of carrots.

I have been deceived by the imperial kitchen for so many years, and it turns out that the "inferior" radishes that I can grow in the ground until they crack when touched are the top and most delicious radishes!

Just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the magistrate of Weishi County sent a notice that Hachigong was awarded the official position of Fenglang by the court and asked him to cultivate carrots and other new winter vegetables.

In the spring, on the first month of the lunar month, on Yi Mao, Wang Anshi was appointed as the minister Zuopushe, Shu Guogong, and the envoy of Jixi Guanshi.

Before the Song Dynasty, there was no such thing as pension. After officials became official, they no longer had salary.

This is the rule of "The Rites of Zhou". When a minister becomes an official at seventy, he "returns his salary to the king."

This led to a sharp decline in the income of many officials after they became official. Officials who were used to spending a lot of money on weekdays and had no accumulated assets often suddenly became stretched. In the early Song Dynasty, there was even a case where they participated in political affairs and returned home without money after becoming official. Finally, they invested

The river committed suicide.

By the time of the Zhenzong Dynasty, the court felt that this situation could not continue. Many officials were unwilling to retire, resulting in serious redundancy of officials. It was specially ordered to give half of the salary after taking office, and to be kind to a son. This was the first time that feudal officials had

pension.

Of course, these are only for ordinary officials, important ministers who really make the emperor feel that they have made significant contributions. Of course, the emperor will not let them be poor. When they become official, they will often be promoted to official positions and given special preferential treatment.

This kind of preferential treatment in the Song Dynasty was called "Chen Lu". Ministers who were old and unable to serve were often appointed as "Ce Lu officials" and were given salaries and salaries regardless of political affairs as a sign of courtesy.

After Zhao Xu came to the throne, he reorganized the civil service. All those who were tired and old and inactive were appointed as officials in the ancestral hall. Wang Anshi used this to settle many opponents.

After Wang Anshi arrived in Jiangling, he invited himself to serve as a ancestral official since last year.

This was also a daily operation in the Song Dynasty, called "Begging Temple" and "Beggars Temple", which meant that one voluntarily stayed in a place of idleness and no longer interfered with the government affairs.

Zhao Xu refused twice and did not formally agree until this year.

The first Jubilee envoy was Fu Bi, who "brought this title to live in Luoyang." Now it was Wang Anshi's turn to bring this title to Jiangling.

This appointment marked the real end of the Wang Anshi era from an institutional perspective.

Quan sent three envoys to the throne and said: "Your Majesty, in recent years, you have promoted the promotion and management of the palaces and palaces. They have given you preferential salaries and have not established the number of employees. However, the ministers have become idle and greedy for salary. They are obviously not weak in spirit, so they avoid it for the sake of convenience."

I am looking for this position. There are more than a hundred people inside and outside the palace today, doing nothing, and spending tens of thousands of dollars on the treasury of three departments a year. We cannot continue like this!"

Zhao Xu felt that this was the case, and it did not reflect the dignity of the palace envoys, so he issued an edict requiring senior ministers who were over 60 years old to invite the palace envoys. Furthermore, the total number of officials who could be promoted, promoted, and supervised by the imperial palace in the country could not exceed ten.

Five people, no more than thirty people on the outside.

In Jiazi, there was a memorial in the Eastern Courtyard of the Judge: "There is a shortage of officials in Guangnan and Guangnan, and there are very few people who are willing to serve as officials. I request that the prefectures and counties in the world be divided into several grades, among which the places where foreign enemies are rampant are the first grade, and the places where the water and soil are bad are the first grade.

, places with complex government affairs are classified as first class, and the rest are classified as first class. Officials who apply to go to the first three categories of places should be given preferential treatment in terms of transfer, which will be regarded as encouragement."

Zhao Xu asked Zhongshu, "This sounds reasonable. I have only one question. There is a shortage of people on both sides of Guangnan. What about Jiaozhi?"

Wu Chong checked the information and came back to report: "Your Majesty, Jiaozhi seems to be...not in short supply."

Zhao Xu was stupid. Guangnan was in short supply, but Jiaozhi was not. Can you tell me what this means?

Wang Gui knew that Wang Gui didn't want to say it. Isn't it because there was Su Mingrun there?!

In the end, everyone was confused and decided that Jiaozhi was the most difficult place in the Song Dynasty. It was also affected by rampant foreign enemies, bad water and soil, and complicated government affairs.

In fact, the fundamental reason why there is no shortage is that a large number of businessmen with Sitong background have a background of donating officials to the imperial court.

These people were lured to Jiaozhi by Su You, and then given the position of transportation director, responsible for supervising local financial operations.

…

Su You took a few days off for himself this month and had a lot of fun with Shi Wei in Halong Bay.

The terrain of Halong Bay is excellent. When viewed from the sky, the land here looks like a huge dragon head with its mouth wide open and holding a pearl in its mouth.

The tip of the upper jaw in the northeast is the former Jinpu Port and now Tuzhou.
