"This subject Qin Chuan thanks Your Majesty for your grace!"
After the imperial edict was read, Qin Chuan happily received it.
County Male, from the fifth rank, he also took the opportunity to enter the ranks of the fifth rank officials!
His fief was still in Chang 'an County under the emperor's feet!
And it was a total of 300 households!
In the Tang Dynasty, a fief and a fief were two different things.
The fief was a number on the surface, while the fief was the actual fief.
Under normal circumstances, the official titles of the Tang Dynasty were far lower than the food cities.
Du Ruhui, one of the most meritorious officials of the Great Tang, was conferred the title of Duke Cai. He had 3,000 households of food, but in reality, he only had 1,300 households.
Cheng Yaojin, who was also a meritorious minister, was granted the title of Duke of the State of Su. He only had 700 households.
Li Jing, who wasn't a hero, only had 400 households, which was only 100 households higher than him.
His status as a county male was similar to that of some county dukes and county dukes. In fact, he might even be more valuable than some county dukes and county dukes!
"Congratulations, Qin Xiannan!"
The eunuch smiled as he passed the imperial edict to Qin Chuan." The imperial edict has been read out. I shall take my leave first!”
"Thank you, chamberlain!"
After sending off the eunuch, the surrounding candidates surrounded Qin Chuan.
"Congratulations, Qin Xiannan! The title of county boy had already reached the heavens. In the future, he would be conferred the title of Marquis and Minister!”
"Isn't that so? The county boy is only fifteen years old. He will definitely have a bright future!”
"From now on, we can all rely on the county boy to take care of us!”
......
It was still the same commercial flattery, but the smiles on the faces of these candidates were even more passionate, and they were even more respectful towards Qin Chuan.
The fifth rank was a hurdle for the officials of the Tang Empire. Whether or not the Emperor could remember their names depended on luck.
Not only did Qin Chuan overcome that hurdle at such a young age, but he was also bestowed with a noble title by the Emperor!
Such a character was simply worlds apart from them!
After the official positions were announced, the candidates dispersed and went to the empty rooms arranged by the Ministry of Personnel to change into their court clothes. Then, they went to report to their assigned units.
From today onwards, they would officially become officials in the imperial court.
Under the guidance and assistance of a minor official, Qin Chuan carried his court robes to an empty room.
"Qin Xiannan, your court clothes are on the table. I'll wait for you outside the door. If you need anything, you can tell me at any time!”
The small official said respectfully.
Qin Chuan nodded." Thank you. You may leave first."”
"Here!"
There were two sets of court clothes on the desk, both of which had just been issued today. One was the seventh-grade court clothes for the Minister of State, and the other was the fifth-grade court clothes for the man of Chang 'an County.
Qin Chuan didn't agree with the Tang Dynasty's official dress aesthetics.
In the Tang Dynasty, people above the third grade wore purple, the fourth grade was dark red, the fifth grade was light red, the sixth grade was dark green, the seventh grade was light green, the eighth grade was dark green, and the ninth grade was light green.
The seventh-grade official uniform of the Minister of State was green, and it was the kind that was tender green. If the official hat was black, it would be green all over, and the entire grassland would be green!
Fortunately, he had also obtained the title of Chang 'an County male, so he had another set of light red official robes to change into.
After changing into his fifth grade official uniform, Qin Chuan did not report to the Ministry of Personnel. Instead, he followed the minor official to the official room of the Minister of Personnel.
Du Ruhui, the current Prime Minister who had been promoted to Minister of Right Servant, wanted to meet him here.
As a subordinate official of the Shangshu Province, Du Ruhui could be considered his top superior.
However, what he found strange was that the wheel of history was still moving in the same direction as before.
In the third year of Zhenguan in history, Du Ruhui was promoted to the position of Minister of Civil Affairs. He then fell ill and passed away a year later.
He had already told Li Shimin about Du Ruhui's illness, but why was Du Ruhui still in this position?
Li Shi Min didn't say anything? Or did Du Ruhui insist on doing this? Or had Du Ruhui's body recovered?
He couldn't have guessed wrongly, right? Li Jun wasn't Li Shimin?
When Qin Chuan entered the room, Du Ruhui was sitting on the couch reading a book.
Although he was still the Minister of Personnel, he had already become the Prime Minister.
In order to let him recuperate in peace, the Emperor had already decreed that the specific matters of the Ministry of Personnel would be handed over to Assistant Minister Liu Linfu.
Fang Xuanling was also in charge of Shangshu Province.
He didn't need to go to the Political Affairs Hall to be on duty. Unless there was an urgent matter that required the Prime Minister's joint discussion or the Emperor's summons, he had nothing to do.
"Greetings, Minister Du!" Qin Chuan stepped forward and bowed.”
"There's no need to be so polite."
Du Ruhui helped Qin Chuan up and sized up the newly dressed Qin Chuan with a friendly smile.
"Hmm, this official uniform is not bad. You look very energetic in it.”
"Thank you, Minister Du." Qin Chuan replied.
Du Ruhui turned around and walked to the couch. He looked at Qin Chuan who was still standing in the courtyard and beckoned him over." Why are you still standing? Come and sit down."”
"Men, serve tea!"
The two of them sat opposite each other on the couch.
"Do you know why I summoned you at the Ministry of Personnel and not the Ministry of State Affairs?" Du Ruhui asked.”
"I don't know," Qin Chuan cupped his hands and said,"I hope Minister Du can tell me!"”
"The Ministry of Personnel Affairs doesn't have a position suitable for you.”
Du Ruhui said slowly.
"Although you are talented and have many talents, you are still young and haven't gone through the experience of officialdom. If you are given the position of a doctor or a councilor and hold the authority of a department, I'm afraid it will spoil the seedlings and affect your future growth.”
"I understand."
Qin Chuan nodded.
A division in the Tang Dynasty was equivalent to a division in the future.
The city hall was at the level of a bureau, and the power and status of a division was equivalent to that of a prefecture-level city's governor.
Moreover, the authority in the Tang Dynasty was even greater. There were only six departments and twenty-four divisions in the Tang Dynasty.
He had never thought of becoming a doctor or a councilor. This was an unlikely thing.
If he was in power, he would not be at ease to hand over such great power to a fifteen-year-old youth.
Even if this youth was indeed talented and peerless, he would first let this youth experience the officialdom and observe the other party's actual ability to deal with affairs. He would increase his experience as an official and then make corresponding arrangements for the other party.
"And with your talent, if you were to be assigned an official position according to the ordinary Jinshi, it would be a waste of talent to give you the position of a ninth-grade manager.”
"So this old master can only arrange for you to be the Minister of State in the Ministry of State Affairs. Although your position is in the Ministry of State Affairs, your actual affairs are in the Ministry of Personnel.”
"His Majesty placed great importance on the administrative reform that you wrote during the imperial examinations. He ordered the Ministry of Personnel to lead the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Justice, the Si Nong Temple, the Censorate, and other major government offices to carry out the administrative reform.”
"I arranged for you to be in charge of this matter.”
Du Ruhui said expectantly.
"I'll host it?"
Qin Chuan furrowed his brows and was somewhat puzzled." Minister Du, isn't this inappropriate?”
