My Backyard is the Tang Dynasty

Qin Huaiyu responded and left. He now seems to regard Li Yin as his leader. Looking at Qin Huaiyu\'s figure, Li Yin thought that after the banquet, he would have to take over the army. Then arrange Qin Huaiyu and his own nursing home, and the soldiers in Yizhou City will be his own army.

  Out the door, Gao Quan and Cheng Jian were at the door, but Wang Yinlong was missing. The three of them were the three main management officials of Yizhou City. Li Yin asked, "Why didn\'t Wang Sima come?"

Gao Quan didn\'t expect that Li Yin would ask about Wang Yinlong, he didn\'t think about his words for a while, he hesitated and couldn\'t speak, at this moment Cheng Jian said: "Your Highness, Wang Sima is just a lowly official from a poor family, attending the banquet might humiliate His Highness\'s noble status , Gao Cishi thought about this, so he didn\'t invite him here!"

   "Yes, yes, yes, I am afraid that I will insult His Highness\'s identity!" Gao Quan echoed.

Li Yin groaned silently, but he knew in his heart that these people looked down on scholars from poor families, and this issue has always been criticized by Li Shimin. After all, the gentry class has ruled China for thousands of years, including the current Tang Dynasty. Officer, yes! However, three conditions must be fulfilled. One, one is to be an official from generation to generation, and the son inherits his father\'s business. Second, he is from a noble family. He can be an official without the imperial examination through recommendation. Third, it is the imperial examination. There is no restriction on family background. , Scholars from poor families can also participate, but whether you can pass or not depends on your fate.

Even if you pass the exam and enter the officialdom, because you are from a poor family, you still can’t play well, because people don’t take you to play, you don’t get your share in welfare, you don’t get your share in banquets, and you are considered at the end of promotion, even corruption and bribery. Everyone dislikes you, so when you look at the history of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, those famous generals and civil servants were either born in noble families, their fathers were officials, or they were born in famous families, and there were few ordinary people.

This is the existence of objective facts in the Tang Dynasty. Although Li Yin did not have such a serious class concept, he should not play the trick of promoting the poor in Yizhou before he has a firm foothold, otherwise, he will offend the entire Shu region. officials.

  The restaurant where Gao Quan held the banquet was in the square opposite the official office. It was called Weijia Restaurant. When he arrived at the wing room, Li Yin asked Qin Huaiyu to go in with him, so that he could get acquainted with each other.

There are already more than twenty officials waiting for Li Yin in the room. Some of them are wearing light green official uniforms, and some are wearing dark green official uniforms. They are all officials below the sixth rank. The reason why Li Yin can distinguish their ranks so easily , all benefited from the strict official uniform system. The Tang Dynasty stipulated that officials of the third rank and above should wear purple official uniforms, fourth rank dark red, fifth rank light red, sixth rank dark green, seventh rank light green, eighth rank dark blue, ninth rank Light cyan color, among which the third rank and above are equipped with goldfish bags, the fourth rank and fifth rank are equipped with whitebait bags, and there are no fish bags below the sixth rank.

  Seeing Li Yin entered, all the officials greeted him respectfully. Li Yin returned the salute one by one, while Gao Quan introduced these county magistrates to Li Yin one by one, and told Li Yin of their family origins.

   Li Yin\'s memory has always been very good, but when faced with the names and backgrounds of so many officials, his mind suddenly became blurred, and he could only get in touch with them slowly in the future.

After being introduced by the officials in Yizhou, Li Yin introduced Qin Huailiang to them. After learning that he was the son of Qin Shubao, the Duke of Yi, the officials all showed awe. There are two big men.

  After exchanging pleasantries, everyone sat down, and Gao Quan said: "It is a great honor for us to come to Yizhou for your highness, and I will have to rely on your highness to take care of me in the future!"

   Li Yan said politely: "I first came to Yizhou, and I am not familiar with the place. It should be everyone who takes care of me. I need your support for future government orders!"

   "Please rest assured, Your Highness, we will follow His Highness\'s lead!" Gao Quan said, and at the same time turned to more than a dozen county magistrates and said, "Do you think so!" Seeing Gao Quan\'s wink, these officials immediately echoed:

   "Yes, we all listen to His Highness!"

   "Your Highness, don\'t worry!"

   "..."

Li Min smiled but didn\'t smile, feeling displeased. These officials obviously looked at Gao Quan\'s face and acted. He understood that this banquet was not for him to welcome him, but Gao Quan deliberately put down his authority. That means Even if you are the prince, you still have to rely on us, otherwise you will be unable to move forward.

   "Then I would like to thank you all!" Li Yin laughed loudly, pretending that everything was normal.

Gao Quan and Cheng Jian looked at each other, and they both saw puzzlement in each other\'s eyes. The incident just now was deliberately arranged by them, and the county magistrates showed it so clearly. Could it be that Li Yin couldn\'t see why he was still so clueless? Awareness.

   Laughed unnaturally, Gao Quan raised his glass and said, "Your Highness, I respect you!"

  Drinking for half an hour at a banquet, at the wine table, Li Yin and Gao Quan both said something that didn\'t hurt or itch. In the end, Li Yin pretended to be drunk and left the banquet early with Qin Huaiyu. It would be a waste of time to drink with these people.

After Li Yin left, Cheng Jian said to Gao Quan: "The King of Shu is either an idiot or a man with a deep city. The former will be easy to deal with, while the latter will be difficult for us. When he controls Yizhou The government soldiers, we don’t count on this.”

"Cheng Changshi thinks too much. He is just a prince who has been reviled. A phoenix without feathers is not as good as a chicken. How much trouble can he make? Besides, my brother is promoted by His Highness King Wei. His Highness King Wei Who is it? That is His Majesty\'s most beloved son, and now he is being favored, with his protection, what can he do to us?" said a plump county magistrate, his name was Gao Yuanzhi, Gao Quan\'s younger brother, It comes from the Gao family, a famous family in Yizhou.

   "Yes, as the saying goes, a strong dragon can\'t suppress a local snake, as long as we twist together, this Yizhou will still be ours!"

"right…"

The county magistrates said one after another, but the high authority remained silent. Only a few people knew of the private conversation between Li Yin and Li Shimin. The news from the palace also said that Li Shimin protected Li Yin at the same time. As for whether this protection was purely because he didn\'t want to lose his son, or if he had another purpose, he couldn\'t get it. So what he wanted to know urgently was whether Li Shimin still supported Li Yin.

   "Let\'s just wait and see what his intentions are!" Gao Quan finally said.
