Chapter 1034 is missing
Li Yifu specially cleaned up before coming, and even took a bath. His hair was washed and combed neatly and meticulously, and his feet were soft and his hair was tied.
Qin Lang discovered that the style of Futou on Li Yifu's head was still long soft feet and high gauze Futou. In this style of Futou, the hair is first combed on the top and tied into a bun, and then a scarf is added to the bun, and the two corners are tied behind the head. Tie the two horns in front of the head, and lengthen the two straps tied behind the head to form a hanging ribbon. At the same time, add a hard pad to the hair bun in the scarf on the top of the head to increase the height, so that the whole Futou presents a tall head and long feet. The characteristics of soft streamers.
This is very different from the flat head scarves that were popular during the Wude period. This kind of high head scarf with soft feet was first used by Qin Lang and gradually led the new fashion of the head scarf. Therefore, it is also called Wei Gongfu. It's called the Qin family, because after Qin Lang improved this kind of high turban with soft feet and head covering, it was Qin Lang's adopted sons who first followed suit and then spread it to become popular.
Even later, the Qin family opened a Weigong Futou shop, which not only sold various new Weigong Futou, but also new-style Futouluo and Futou yarns that were specially made for this kind of Futou.
Li Yifu didn't wear official robes and hats today, and even put on a Wei Gongfu on his head. It can be seen that this kid is not all the honest and honest generation that Pei Xingjian said.
However, Qin Lang also noticed that the headdress on Li Yifu's head was still made of silk, not the black and thin gauze that was popular in recent years, and it was not from the Qin family's specialty store, it should be made in an ordinary cloakroom It may even be made by myself. After all, this Futou is actually a piece of scarf, not a hat, but a backing and two or two long streamers are added inside.
Look closely at the clothes on his body. In late spring, he had already changed into a thin spring shirt. Although it was clean and tidy, it was also scented, but the clothes were still relatively old, and the incense was of a more ordinary kind, and the boots were also of ordinary cloth. boots.
It seems that Li Yifu is an official in Luoyang, and his life is quite poor. After all, he only started as a ninth-rank sesame official and lives in a big capital like Luoyang. , and Qin Lang also advocated the official dormitory system, which can be regarded as a lot of benefits for those who came from other places, especially the small officials of ordinary background.
Otherwise, in the Wude Dynasty, such a small Beijing official would have been very sad in Beijing, and could not even support a family. Now at least there is no need to pay rent, the price is relatively stable, the salary has also increased a lot, and there are many new ones. Zeng Welfare, a ninth-rank petty official, with his own salary and benefits, can support a family of several people, and can't even order a few servants, life is not bad.
Unlike before, those petty officials in Beijing often have to support their families, or they simply have to borrow money to live, or they have to borrow money from their fellow countrymen and other officials in Beijing to live on. , in order to improve the predicament.
In the past, there were even a group of businessmen in the capital who specially lent loans to scholars who were studying in Beijing and preparing for exams, candidates who were waiting for election in Beijing, and small officials who were transferred to the capital as officials. It's the same as the campus generations of later generations, but there is no way, not all of them are from famous noble families, so they can have a steady stream of support.
Li Yifu is only twenty-five years old this year. At his age, he can walk from Sichuan to Kyoto and become a ninth-rank official in the lower province.
But compared with Qin Lang in front of him, the difference is too far. The two are actually about the same age. I can't even afford the incense of smoked clothes, and I only need two sets of old clothes when I go out to see guests, and I have to send them to a clothing store to be smoked before going out, or I can only wear those light green official robes.
Standing next to him is Pei Xingjian, twenty years old this year, a son of the famous Pei family in Hedong. Although his father was killed by Wang Shichong at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Pei Renjina was once a third-rank relative, and Pei's family is one of the six Guanlong surnames.
He lost his father since he was a child, but the family still has a good fortune, not to mention that Qin Qiong later took him to Chang'an as his adopted son, sent him to the Chongxian Hall to accompany the prince to study, and participated in the imperial examination for the first time at the age of sixteen. The second was Cao Canjun, Youtun Weicang, who was an official of the eighth grade, but he felt that he was not as good as a Jinshi. Three years later, he took the Jinshi examination and won the Tanhua in one fell swoop. He turned around and became a Chang'an County Captain.
Although the Chang'an county lieutenant is only from the eighth rank, it is not as high as the eighth rank of the Youtun Weicang Cao Canjun, and there is a difference of two levels, but in fact, the Chang'an county lieutenant is the Jing county lieutenant. Half of Chang'an City has 100,000 households, which is an important position.
That is an official position that can directly reach Tianting, which is far inferior to the general governors of border states and Xiazhou.
Look at what Pei Xingjian is wearing. Although it is also a Wei Gongfu, it is a custom-made model from Qin's shop. The materials are exquisite and fine. There are even dark lines on the fine gauze. You can only find the dark lines when you look closely. Even Pei Xingjian's Pei character pattern.
Not to mention that the white shirt on his body looks ordinary, it is made of the finest cotton cloth, produced in Taiping Port, Wu'an Prefecture, Annan, and it is more expensive than silk.
As for the boots, he asked about them on the way just now, one is worth 5,000 yuan, and a pair is worth ten guan, which is higher than his salary.
Just the belt around the waist and the seven things about the waist are worth more than a hundred guan, worth more than Xu Jingzong's entire net worth.
What's more, with the help of Qin Qiong, the righteous father of the Taibao, and Qin Lang, the Sikong, the prince and the prince's righteous brothers, the emperor also praised Pei Renji and Pei Xingyan for their moral achievements, and named Pei Renji the Duke of Wenxi County, and then let Pei Xingjian inherit the title of Wenxi Xixianzi.
At a young age, it can be said that he has caught up with all the good things. He was proud of his career in the imperial examination when he was young, and he has big bosses as backers in the court. His family background is prominent and rich. It is said that Pei Xingjian is very generous and generous. His family spends thousands of pennies a year on his expenses. He uses the money to hire staff and guests, entertain colleagues and friends, and even help poor scholars and orphans. Anyway, he spends money like running water. He has won countless good names.
And he, Li Yifu, usually lives in the official dormitory of Menxia Province, eats in the cafeteria of Menxia Province, and dare not answer his colleagues' calls to go shopping and drink, and cannot afford it.
Beside the bamboo forest.
Li Yifu met Ma Zhou and Xu Jingzong one by one. It was a surprise to meet these two prime ministers at Qin Lang's house, especially Ma Zhou, who was the idol of Li Yifu. He also came from a poor family, but his experience was even more legendary. up.
It is precisely because of a role model like Ma Zhou that he wants to leave Jiannan and come to Kyoto, hoping that one day he will also be favored by the emperor, and then he will rise to the top, and one day he will also be named a marquis.
Ma Zhou was very polite to the young Li Yifu, and asked him about some articles. Li Yifu answered very well, but Xu Jingzong was curious, and specially tested his poems and articles, and found that he was indeed talented.
This said that Li Yifu was very grateful. Whether it was true or not, it really made people happy.
Qin Lang smiled.
"Indeed," Qin Lang thought for a while, "I wonder if you are interested in going to Yushitai?"
"Yushitai?" Li Yifu was stunned for a moment, he is now a provincial official, and Qin Lang is a provincial inspector. He thought that Qin Lang would be able to promote him with a single word, but unexpectedly he said to go to Yushitai.
"If you are willing to go to Yushitai, I can arrange it. There is a vacancy for the supervisory censor."
The rank of the supervisory censor is only lower than the eighth rank, and he is not even qualified to enter the main entrance of the court hall. He cannot go to the hall unless he has something to do, and can only enter and exit through the side door. The supervisory censors supervise with extremely wide authority. They are really humble and powerful. There are fifteen people in total, and the prime minister can impeach them.
Li Yifu was stunned.
"Don't want to?"
"Yes!" Li Yifu hurriedly nodded and responded. He is only from the ninth rank now, but this supervisory censor is just below the eighth rank. Directly impeaching the prime minister and supervising all officials inside and outside, this is a stronger official position than Chang'an county lieutenant.
It is true that the position is humble but powerful. If it is done well, it must be reused.
This can no longer directly look at the grade.
Li Yifu did not expect that Qin Lang would be willing to help him find a position like supervisory censor.
"It's fine if you're willing to do it. I'll arrange this matter. You can wait for the news. But one thing, you have to do things well when you enter the Yushitai. .”
Xu Jingzong secretly observed on the side, seeing Li Yifu's flushed face with excitement, he secretly laughed in his heart, after all, young people have nothing to do with their families, and Doctor Yushi is now Wei Ting, and that is Wei Wangdang.
Qin Lang made it easy for Li Yifu to enter the Yushitai, but it was a clever move. Not to mention that Li Yifu was grateful for it, and he was able to arrange a chess piece in the Yushitai, which is really clever.
Seeing the young man's grateful expression, he had already completely boarded Qin Lang's boat.
Thinking about Qin Lang reaching out to help me when I was down and down, how could I not be as grateful to Qin Lang as Li Yifu?
I have to say that Qin Lang's ability is getting better and better.
Easily subdued another outstanding young man.
"Saburo!"
Zhang Chao walked in, looked at Li Yifu whose eyes were flushed with excitement, and then continued, "Wei Wang is here, just outside the door."
Qin Lang was surprised.
"Tell King Wei for me that as the prime minister of the imperial court, it is inconvenient for me to meet with the prince in private, and I will not entertain you. Please go back, Your Highness!"
Qin Lang didn't even have the intention to get up and go out to say hello, so he directly asked Zhang Chao to send Li Tai away.
"Yifu, I'll test you. According to the laws and regulations of my Tang Dynasty, what should we say about Wei Wang's actions today?"
Li Yifu hurriedly said, "According to the system of our Tang Dynasty, all kings are forbidden to make friends with their officials. In October of the eighth year of Zhenguan, an edict was issued to prohibit all kings from making friends with their officials. Second, the clan and foreign relatives are forbidden For intercourse, on September 7th of the first year of Zhenguan, the imperial family, relatives, and son-in-law were not allowed to return unless they were close relatives, and those who were divining and occupying the marquis were not allowed to enter the homes of hundreds of officials, including monks and Taoists... "
Xu Jingzong laughed and said, "It seems that you are very familiar with the imperial edicts of the Tang Dynasty..."
Li Yifu seemed to be implying something in the words of the prime minister Xu Jingzong, and after a little thought, he immediately understood, "I will write a letter of impeachment when I go back..."
