Let’s talk about foreign court officials today. The highest level of foreign court officials in the Song Dynasty was Lu, then the military supervisor of the state, and then the county.

The first-level road management agencies are collectively referred to as the Supervision Department, and there are three agencies: the Transportation Department, the Tidian Penal and Prison Company Company, and the Tiji Changping Company Company.

The Transportation Department is nominally in charge of the economy, but in fact it is also in charge of administration and supervisory officials. In fact, it is the most powerful department that can control everything. It is called Caoshuai for short. The chief officer is called Zhuanshi, Du Zhuanshi, or Caoshuai for short.

Later, because the power was too great, the department in charge of prisons was separated, called the Tidian Prison Company, or Xiansi for short, and the chief officer was called Tidian Prison, or Xantai for short.

Later, I still felt that the transfer envoy still had too much power, so he was promoted to Chang Ping's official office and was called Cang Si for short, and the chief officer was called Cang Envoy or Cang Ambassador.

The three offices are collectively called the Supervisory Office, also known as the Outer Office.

In addition, there are some miscellaneous supervisors in each road, such as the tea and horse department, the pit and metallurgy department, and the shipping department. These are institutions established according to the special circumstances in the road.

Below the road are prefectures, which are divided into upper, middle and lower levels. Each level has its corresponding military level, including Dudu Prefecture, Jiedu Prefecture and Military Prefecture.

This is a remnant of the system of warlord governance in the Five Dynasties. The governors of each state are called governors, military governors, observation commanders, defense commanders, regiment training commanders and governors.

Later, after this system was replaced by the civil service system, state officials were generally referred to as "knowing the military and state affairs of a certain state", or simply known as "zhizhou". However, they could not be called directly like that. They had to be called the title of the previous dynasty - the upper state was called the prefect, and the lower state was called the governor.

The previous warlord system had become a remote position for military ministers, clan members, and princes. They did not go to their posts and were only transferred.

For example, Yuezhou is Tuanlian Prefecture, and the military commander of Yuezhou is called Yuezhou Tuanlianshi. This may be the official position of a certain young prince in the palace. I never know what Dongting Lake is like in my life. It seems that Zhao Zongshi once held this position.

There are garrisons above Jiedu Prefecture. For example, the military rank of Rongzhou is called Qingyuan Army. At this time, it cannot be called Rongzhou Jiedushi. Instead, it should be proportional to the military size. It is called Qingyuan Army Jiedushi. It may be another child in the palace.

For example, Zhao Zongyou, the kid with perfect scores in the Ming Dynasty, was the military governor of the Qing Navy, and the Qing Navy's vassal town was in Guangzhou.

In addition to prefectures, there are also prefectures. In theory, prefectures are on the same level, but in reality they are a little higher. They are divided into three levels: Beijing prefecture, secondary prefecture, and prefecture.

Jingfu, sub-prefecture, the chief officer is called Fuyin, Shaofu, Fumu.

Others are called "Knowing the military affairs of a certain prefecture". The prefect can still be called the prefect of the previous dynasty on weekdays.

The prefect and the governor have an important assistant - Tongpan, who is responsible for supervision and jointly signing official documents.

Next is the army. The army is smaller than the state capital. The chief officials are called Zhijun, military envoys, and assistant officers are called Tongpan for a certain military. For small armies, there is no Tongpan at all.

A supervisor is a small organization, similar to some independent large-scale industrial and mining enterprises after the founding of the People's Republic of China. The long-term officials are called supervisors, or supervisors.

Then the chief officers have their staffs, which are called secretaries and officials.

This also matches the level of the state capital, such as the left-behind push officer, the left-behind judge, the Jiedu push officer, the Jiedu judge, the defense judge, and the military judge. This is similar to the office director.

If the official position is in the selection sequence, it is called a judge; if it is in the Beijing official sequence, it is called a signature.

The various Cao bureaus include those who record affairs and join the army, managers who join the army, and judicial officers who join the army, etc., corresponding to the six ministries, which are equivalent to the various municipal bureaus in later generations.

Below is the county. If the county official is selected, he is the county magistrate. If he is a capital official, he is called the county magistrate.

The county magistrate is in charge of the military affairs. If the post of postal officer is below that of Xuanjiao Lang, he will also serve as a military and horse supervisor. If he is above Tong Zhilang, he will be called a military and horse supervisor.

The assistant officers of the county magistrate are respectively the county magistrate, the chief registrar, and the county lieutenant.

In daily naming, these official positions cannot be called directly, but must be "replaced with the old and replaced with the new", and commensurate with the corresponding positions in the Han and Tang Dynasties.

For example, according to the different status of the state, the governor of the state can be called the prefect or the governor; the general judge can be called Biejia or Sima;

The prime minister can even be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period. You can call him Ling Yin, but it is mostly used for correspondence, and you can just call him "Xinggong" verbally.

That's roughly it.
