The Pedestrian Department is a very special department in the Ming Dynasty. Its work and name are very appropriate. It is just people who walk around. In fact, they are on business trips and are sent out according to the orders. Officials need escorts when going on patrols. The Pedestrian Department is such a yamen.

The Ming Dynasty was responsible for domestic affairs of relatives and foreign vassals, and there were institutions such as the Four Barbarians and Huitong Hall. The Honglu Temple also had close contacts with the Ministry of Rites and even had certain subordinate relationships.

The Ministry of Rites established a department of host and guest "in charge of the tributes and receptions of various vassals. The tributes of the foreigners were distinguished, and the tribute envoys, and the amount of tributes were abundant and the amount of tributes was abundant. If the king was sent to welcome and send, banquets, tents, food, etc., and rewards were made.

All tributes must be reviewed, and then they will be placed in the inner palace. If there are goods and goods attached to them, they will be given a gift. If the foreign countries request a successor, they will be sent to the country. If the envoy returns, they will be given a book of the customs and lands, and the appropriate goods for the goods, and the integrity of the rituals and documents. If the foreign countries have the merits of protection, they will be given a seal of imperial seals. All countries will be sent to exchange with each other. If there are imperial seals, they will be checked. If there are imperial seals, they will be checked. Do not order people to stop.

When local officials pay tribute, they also check the documents. When they return, they will use gold to engrave their orders, which must be compared with copper talismans. When they examine the words, translate the words, send them to the welcoming house, examine the translation of the four foreigners, and whether they can communicate with each other, and prohibit the leakage of their traffic. All the rituals given by the court, and all the tributes of the land and goods in each province will be held."

The Siyiguan is a truly meaningful official translation institution in Chinese history. Although there were official positions in translation in previous dynasties, the establishment of specialized institutions began in the Ming Dynasty.

The Honglu Temple is in charge of "court meetings, guests, and good and bad rituals.

All national ceremonies: suburban temples, sacrifices, court meetings, banquets, imperial banquets, enthronements, promotions, spring, preaching, winning commands, and offering their own affairs. Foreign officials pay homage to the public, and foreign officials and envoys to report to the orders, thank them for their gratitude, and those who see or say goodbye, the Honglu will also introduce the memorial.

Huitong Hall is a large-scale inn that specializes in the Ming Dynasty to receive accommodation for tribute personnel. Foreign tribute envoys usually live in one of the four museums in the southeast, southwest and northwest of the Huitong Hall.

Since there are people who come, there are naturally people who go there. The pedestrian department is such an institution. Its duties are to "focus on the rituals and serve as envoys. When issuing edicts, enthrone the royal family, pacify the family, recruit talents, reward, condolences, relief, military, and sacrifices, all of them are dismissed."

After the imperial court selected chief and deputy envoys, most of the accompanying officials were drawn from the pedestrian department.

At first, the pedestrians had a low position in charge, and the grade was only ninth and ninth grade. However, after a large-scale tribute tide in the early Ming Dynasty, they were upgraded to the seventh grade. "There are many filial and honest people in the pedestrians, and the envoys are incompetent."

Obviously, Zou Yinglong was also selected by the court. After joining the Ministry of Rites to observe politics, he was transferred to the Ministry of Rites. In the future, he would be able to support the rituals and envoys at home and abroad.

"Is that Lao Kan also from Jiangxi?"

Xu Jie is analyzing one by one now to see who has a high probability of winning.

There is no need to ask Wei Guangde. He has seen this person several times, visited his mansion, and said a few words.

He was deeply impressed by Wei Guangde, a Jiangxi man. He noticed it since the palace examination review, but it was hard to intervene and win over.

"Lao Kan and Wei Guangde are fellow villagers, and they are from Jiujiang Prefecture. Now they are in the Ministry of Justice. It is unclear whether they stay in the ministry or the foreign delegation. They do not see his name in the roster."

"Did the emperor nod the roster of the Ministry of Rites?"

Xu Jie suddenly thought of another thing and suddenly asked.
