Chapter 292: Land Deed, Keeping a Business is More Difficult than Starting a Business
Wang Shen and others waited here for about a quarter of an hour. During this period, a maid brought tea and fruit snacks to entertain everyone. Wang Shen and others thought that Wu Qing (son of Wu Yi), the contemporary head of the Wu family, was really a real person.
Somewhat airy,
However, they could only sit helplessly at the short banquet, sipping tea, eating fruits and snacks, enjoying the coolness in the room, and pretending to be patiently waiting for the arrival of Wu Qing, the Marquis of Jiyang.
At this time, people spread mats on the ground and sat. There is a record that said: "Corporal Yu Zhejie, sitting on the mat will not make you tired."
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Han people continued the custom of sitting on the floor since the Qin Dynasty. Generally, a relatively large mat, a rectangular mat, would be spread on the floor indoors, so people at that time would sit on their knees.
At that time, the number of layers of mats was used to indicate superiority and inferiority. The more layers there were, the more distinguished they were. Long mats could be used by many people to sit together, while short mats could be used by one person. A larger mat was called a "feast"
", usually placed under the table, it is essential when hosting banquets or entertaining guests.
The ancients took sitting etiquette very seriously. There was a kind of sitting posture with legs stretched out at right angles to the upper body, called "ju". This posture was not in line with etiquette standards. "Han Shi Wai Zhuan" records that "Mencius' wife lived alone."
, Chu. Mencius came into the house and looked at her. He said to his mother, "You are rude, go away." His mother said, "What is that?"
Because this kind of sitting posture does not meet the standards, women are even in danger of being divorced. During the Three Kingdoms period, most people sat on their knees. To sit on their knees is to have two knees on the ground, the insteps of both feet facing down, and the buttocks resting on the heels. Lift the buttocks.
, the upper body is straight, which is called long kneeling. It is a posture ready to stand up, showing respect for others.
The reason why I sit like this is because chairs were barely introduced at that time. In addition, the clothing of the ancients during the Three Kingdoms period had no crotch, so if you sit cross-legged, it is easy to expose yourself and look ungraceful.
If your legs are stretched out in front and it affects eating, sitting on your knees is the most suitable method. The only disadvantage is that it is very uncomfortable.
A quarter of an hour later, a middle-aged man wearing gorgeous Sichuan brocade clothes slowly walked in from the door and sat directly on the main seat in the hall. Steward Wu who went to greet them clasped his fists and bowed: "Master.
"Wang Shen and others knew the identity of the person who came in.
But even if Manager Wu didn't tell them, they knew that this person was Wu Qing, the Marquis of Jiyang.
Compared with the former general Jiang Wan's Tinghou, Wu Yi's Jiyanghou was a county prince. That is, the Jiyang of Jiyanghou refers to Jiyang County.
Jiyang County was established in the early Western Han Dynasty and belonged to Chenliu County of the Yanzhou Prefecture. Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu of the Han Dynasty was also born here. It is located in the northeastern part of Lankao County, Kaifeng City, Henan Province today.
Therefore, for the Shu Han Dynasty, the reason why Wu Yi was granted the title of Marquis of Jiyang was probably because Wu Yi was born in Jiyang County, Chenliu County, Yanzhou.
Compared with the Tinghou of Jiang Wan, the former general of the Shu Han Dynasty, Wu Yi's Jiyanghou was a county prince.
That is, the Jiyang of Jiyang Marquis refers to Jiyang County. Jiyang County was established in the early Western Han Dynasty and belonged to Chenliu County of the Yanzhou Prefecture. Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu of the Han Dynasty was also born here. It is located in the northeast of Lankao County, Kaifeng City, Henan Province today.
.
Therefore, for the Shu Han Dynasty, the reason why Wu Yi was granted the title of Marquis of Jiyang was probably because Wu Yi was born in Jiyang County, Chenliu County, Yanzhou.
From the perspective of official position, Jiang Wan is obviously higher than Wu Yi.
In the twelfth year of Jianxing (234 years), Zhuge Liang died of illness, and Jiang Wan was appointed as Shangshu Ling. Soon he was appointed as Protector, and during the holidays, he became the governor of Yizhou. He was then promoted to general, recorded Shangshu affairs, and was granted the title of Marquis of Anyang Ting.
.
For Jiang Wan, he became the first general of Shu Han.
During the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, the general was the highest official position among military generals and had the power to control the world's troops.
Correspondingly, Wu Yi held the position of General of Chariots and Cavalry, which was separated from the rank of General by the official position of General of Hussars.
However, in terms of title, it was Wu Yi who surpassed Jiang Wan.
For Jiang Wan, Anyang Tinghou was the same as Guan Yu's Han Shoutinghou, and both belonged to the rank of Tinghou.
During the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, marquises were divided into several levels: County Marquis, Township Marquis, Ting Marquis, and Guannei Marquis.
Among them, as for the Marquis of Guannei, he usually has no food fiefs, that is to say, he only got the admission ticket of the Marquis. On this basis, as for the County Marquis, the Township Marquis, and the Ting Marquis, the County Marquis usually has the most food fiefs.
, while the food towns of Tinghou are relatively few.
From this, it is very obvious that Wu Yi's Marquis of Jiyang was a county marquis, which was obviously higher in title than Jiang Wan's Marquis of Anyang Ting, who was a Tinghou.
So, here comes the question, Jiang Wan’s official position is higher than that of Wu Yi, why is Wu Yi’s title relatively higher? In this regard, in the author’s opinion, this is mainly because although Jiang Wan holds the position of general,
, Jiang Wan was still more of a civil servant in the Shu Han court.
On this basis, Jiang Wan had few military exploits, so it was difficult for him to obtain a higher title based on his military exploits.
During the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, the level of the title did not necessarily match the official position. That is to say, a person with a higher official position would not necessarily have a higher title. On the other hand, for some generals, the official position may not be high, but because
The more military exploits you have accomplished, the higher your title will be.
It was because his sister married Liu Bei that Wu Yi had such an honorable position in the Shu Han Dynasty, from Mianze to the Wu family today.
Wu Qing took a sip of the hot tea that the maid had just brought and said slowly: "Everyone has been waiting for a long time."
Wang Chen said with a smile: "Just busy yourself, Marquis Jiyang. It doesn't matter if I wait a little longer. It is our honor to meet the descendants of the Hanzhong Governor who defeated the Wei army today."
Prime Minister Zhuge Liang died of illness in Wuzhangyuan, which meant that the Shu Kingdom entered the post-Zhuge Liang era.
It is worth noting that after the death of Zhuge Liang, Wei Yan, the governor of Hanzhong, was beheaded by Ma Dai, which was also a great loss for the Shu Han.
After Zhuge Liang and Wei Yan, Liu Chan, the later leader of the Shu Han Dynasty, naturally had to choose the candidate to succeed them.
As far as Zhuge Liang's responsibilities are concerned, he was basically replaced by Jiang Wan. As for Wei Yan's position as governor of Hanzhong, he was replaced by the general Wu Yi.
Wu Qing replied: "Hey, you guys have given me too much praise. My late father's contribution is still not worth mentioning in front of the five tiger generals."
Chen Guangqin said: "The Marquis of Jiyang cannot talk about merits in this way. Although the Five Tiger Generals have contributed to entrepreneurship, your father has contributed to the Han Dynasty. As the saying goes, it is more difficult to maintain a business than to start a business. Therefore, your father is very important to the Han Dynasty." The achievements of the Han Dynasty are no less than those of the Five Tiger Generals, you are being too modest."
Wu Qing felt very comfortable and happy after hearing this, and casually took out a copper land deed in his arms and said: "This is the land deed of the house in the area you are looking at today. You can verify the authenticity first." ."
Wang Chen said with a smile: "Since it belongs to the Marquis of Jiyang, how can it be fake? We still believe in the names of the Marquis of Jiyang and the Wu family in Shuzhong."
