173. Chapter 173 Li Yan, a doctor of the Ministry of Water
(28) Li Yan, a doctor in the Ministry of Water
Within a day, Li Yan invited Tang Waner to the main hall again to discuss important matters.
"This is Master Shi Congliang, the Taishi of Sitiantai, and this is Master Shi Wenyoude, the Lantai Commandery. Both of them are experts in strange things."
Li Yan introduced an old man in maroon uniforms and a young man in Tsing Yi to Tang Wan'er. Tang Wan'er nodded as a greeting, but she was still a little confused about the official setting of Qing Kingdom. After all, these were different from those of ancient Chinese dynasties.
The official settings are somewhat different.
For example, she now knows that Qingguo is divided into thirteen states, and each state has a top administrator called Zhou Mu, who is equivalent to the current governor. The state capital below each state is where the provincial government is located, and each state has many "cities".
Equivalent to the current city, the city Yin is equivalent to the mayor. The most special city Yin is the city Yin in Qidai, the capital, called Jingzhao Yin, which is equivalent to the mayor of Beijing. The counties at the next level are governed by the county magistrate.
The county magistrate is equivalent to the current county chief.
Tang Wan'er's nominal father, Tang Jie, is a bachelor of Linyuan Pavilion. A bachelor is the emperor's think tank. There are five people in total. Their status is aloof, equivalent to the six ministers, but they don't have as many subordinates as the ministers.
The six departments are the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Husbandry, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Industry. Each department has a minister and a minister. Cai He was the minister of the Ministry of Justice before he became the inspector, and is the second-in-command of the Ministry of Punishment.
It is managed by the Minister of Punishment.
As a doctor of the Ministry of Water, Li Yan is a subordinate of the Minister of Industry. The rank of a doctor is one level lower than that of a minister. Therefore, the doctor's immediate superior is the minister of each ministry and will report directly to the minister.
The only person above the minister is the prime minister, who is less than one person and more than ten thousand people.
So, Li Yan introduced to Tang Wan'er that Taishi was an official in charge of drafting the emperor's documents, recording national events, compiling historical annals, and also in charge of national classics, astronomical calendars, and sacrifices. He had a high status but a low rank. He was actually the director of the National Observatory.
, Sitiantai is the observatory of Qingguo.
The Lantai Lingshi is an official position responsible for compiling books and managing documents and archives such as memorials and memorials, which is equivalent to the current director of archives.
"I see. Then, since the two adults have listened to Mr. Li, I wonder if the two adults have any insights that can help Wan'er?"
Tang Wan'er said her request straight to the point, her eyes were very firm, and she bowed to them seriously. Master Taishi looked at her approvingly, stroked his beard, and told Tang Wan'er not to be impatient.
"Miss Tang's situation is indeed rare. There seems to be no such example in my memory."
"Is there no precedent?"
Taishi nodded.
"As Mr. Shi said, there are no examples of Miss Tang's soul traveling in our country, but there are still a few records of people from other worlds breaking in."
Lantai Lingshi took out a book from somewhere and flipped through it, counting the recorded data.
"Then...then, did those people find a way to go back? Finally..."
Lantai Ling Shi Wenyoude continued: "In the end, most people died tragically in this world."
As soon as Wen Youde finished speaking, the room fell into silence. This was not a big blow to Tang Wan'er. She involuntarily stepped back, just reaching the table.
Seeing this situation, Li Yan kindly comforted Tang Wan'er.
"Master Li, I...I'm fine. I already knew this might be the result. Disappointment is inevitable."
"Miss Tang, don't be too depressed. There is a precedent for people from other worlds returning safely. Maybe Miss Tang can also go back. So, let me explain why this phenomenon occurs."
