Lang and others leaned on the desk and chatted casually. From sighing about the urgency of practicing calligraphy and writing, they gradually talked about interesting things that happened to them recently. After chatting, they finally returned to the afternoon.
on the course.
"We seem to be writing this afternoon."
"It's really bad luck."
"Originally, Shi Du said he would take us to the prison to attend classes, but what happened in Guanzhong, and the prison has been plagued by recent cases, made it impossible for us to watch. I guess we can only attend classes in the school today."
"It's really boring."
Hear the words.
Qin Luoheng was stunned.
He asked curiously:
"Isn't the text written as "Closed Clinic Style"?"
"Why do you still have to go to the jail and watch? The warden won't agree, right?"
He really didn't understand the reason for this.
Fen explained:
"You don't know that."
"What we wrote is indeed the "Closing Procedure", which is the document procedure for the investigation, inspection and trial of the case."
"That is, a legal form."
"But the contents of the document include the identity records of the plaintiff and defendant, forensic autopsy reports, on-site investigation records, etc. No matter how much history teaches, these things are not as profound as what we can observe on the spot."
"As for the warden's disapproval?"
"You are overthinking this."
"Our history of writing and ordering is prosperous."
"He is not ordinary."
"He didn't come to serve as a judge, but he was one of the three chief judges in the city."
"Although the judge's official position is not high, but for someone like a jailor, you must bow respectfully when you see him. There is no other way. Who told him to be in charge of the law before?"
"And the warden often asked for help from others before."
"Although Ling Shi Chang is no longer a judge now, his long-standing friendship with the prison chief is still there, so it is still easy for him to take us to the prison to observe the trial."
"Is Ling Shi so good at giving us writing classes?" Lang asked in surprise.
Fen Fen shook his head and said excitedly:
"of course."
"Tell me something you don't know."
"In fact, Ling Shi Chang doesn't care about coming to class at all."
"What is his title?"
"Public ride!"
"That's a high title, and the next level up is 'Qing'."
"Our Ling Shi Chang always has a car provided by the government when he goes out. With his status, who cares about going to the school to teach?"
"It's just that the school has been short of people in recent years, so we invited him here."
"And it's conditional."
"He only agreed to attend the afternoon class. As for the morning, our Lingshi will not come at all. Do you think any other Lingshi in the school has this kind of treatment?"
"It's just different if someone has a high title."
Everyone nodded in unison.
I feel the same way:
"That is."
"You already have a title, and you have someone to take care of you at home, so who would go to the school to teach when you have nothing to do?"
Qin Luoheng also nodded.
He knew about the 20th rank of the Qin Dynasty.
From low to high, they are Gong Shi, Shang Zao, Hairpin Niao, Bu Geng, Dafu, Guan Dafu, Gong Dafu, Gongcheng, Wu Dafu, Left Concubine Chief, Right Concubine Chief, Zuo Geng, Middle Geng, Right Geng, Shao Geng.
These more than twenty titles are divided into four major levels according to their actual status and treatment.
Scholar---Bi Dafu---Qing---Hou.
scholar:
Officials are made from the top, and their hairpins are not changed.
Doctor Bi:
Da Fu, official Da Fu, Gong Da Fu, Gong Cheng.
Sir:
The five officials are: the chief of the left concubine, the chief of the concubine on the right, the left watcher, the middle watcher, the right watcher.
Hou:
Guanneihou, Chehou.
The main status and treatment of Qin's twenty-level titles are based on the following points: "the superiority and inferiority, the rank, the rank, the land and the house are named according to the difference, and the clothes of the ministers and concubines are named after the family".
The difference between scholars at this level is mainly reflected in their land, houses and clothes.
Bi Dafu is on the same level.
The two levels of doctor and official may not be obvious yet.
But if you go up from the Duke to the Duke, you will become a Gaojue.
Their social status has been significantly improved. When meeting the county magistrate, the county magistrate can only bow to him, instead of bowing like other people.
As for public transportation.
That is the highest title of civil nobility.
If ordinary people want to advance further, they can only enter the court and become an official.
Qing is reflected in his rank.
In the first two levels, the treatment is actually average.
You can also get a few more acres of land, and you don't have to pay homage when you meet an official. This is of little practical significance. After all, you still have to cultivate the land yourself. But when you reach the level of Qing, your treatment will have a qualitative breakthrough.
They collect money lying down.
The fifth official and above have at least 300 households.
Even if they do nothing for a year, they can still collect the tax income of at least 300 households, all of which are reasonable and legal, without having to pay any taxes. The court will even take the initiative to send the money and food to their homes.
As for Hou, he has his own fief.
However, unlike the fiefdoms during the Warring States Period, in the fiefdoms of the Qin Dynasty, the princes only had the power to collect taxes on the fiefdoms and could not actually manage the fiefdoms.
The power of governance lies in the hands of the imperial court.
They can only collect money and cannot participate in management.
Of course, the benefits of a title are far more than these. Those who have a title will have a much looser sentencing after breaking the law. When they enter the official career, they can also get more opportunities for promotion. Even after death, they can still enjoy the "honor of mourning".
Just put it like that.
In the Qin Dynasty, as long as you had a title, your food, clothing, housing, transportation, birth, old age, illness and death would be different from others, and you would be superior to ordinary people in all aspects.
They can only look up to Ling Shichang's public transport.
They are all people without titles now. Let alone the public service, even the first-class public service, they don't know when they can earn it.
Just when everyone was envious, a Shizi came outside the dining room.
He stood outside the house, stuck his head in and took a look. After making sure that Ling Shi was not eating inside, he shouted:
"Who is Qin Luoheng?"
"I am, I don't know what's going on?" Qin Luoheng stood up in confusion.
The visitor glanced at Qin Luoheng and said in a nonchalant manner: "I'm just coming here to pass on a message. Your commander-in-chief asked you to go there. He is in the third room on the left."
Finished.
The visitor left without looking back.
Qin Luoheng stood there, a little confused about the situation.
But after all, it was Ling Shi who summoned him, so he didn't dare not go. After telling Lang and others, he hurriedly left the table and went to the place informed by Ling Shi.
Go to the notified location.
Through the door and window, Qin Luoheng looked curiously at the dry 'office'.
The furnishings inside are very simple, with only rows of bookshelves piled with various slips and slips. There is a bronze lampstand in the back of the room, and in front of the lampstand is a short lacquer table.
Ling Shi Ku was sitting there, bending over his desk and holding a pen, not knowing what he was writing.
Qin Luoheng stood outside the house, bowed to him and said, "Shizi Qin Luoheng has met Ling Shi."
Ling Shi Ku did not raise his head, but just lowered his head and said: "On the second row of bookshelf on your left hand side, there are two volumes of bamboo slips on the top. Take them back and copy them. When the copying is completed, put the two volumes back to their original places. If the bamboo slips are
If you don’t understand the content, you can come to the classroom and ask me.”
Finished.
Ling Shi Ku continued to immerse himself in writing.
Qin Luoheng nodded slightly, took off his shoes honestly, entered the room, and found the two bamboo slips that Ling Shi Ku said. He took the two bamboo slips in his hands and looked at the titles of the books on the bamboo slips.
There are four big characters written on it.
The way to be an official!!!
This is exactly what Qin Luoheng had to do.
Qin Luoheng placed the bamboo slip beside him, saluted Shi Ku, then picked up the bamboo slip and slowly retreated out.
When Qin Luoheng walked away, Ku stopped writing, then turned his head and looked at the innermost part of the bookshelf with cold eyes.
