Song Jiang's official position is the "Book Division". The feeling of "Water Margin" is a bit different from the records in history books.

Song Jiang, who is the prison, seems to have greater power in "Water Margin". For example, when the eighteenth round of "Song Gongming privately released the King of Heaven", when he observed his observation with the official document to catch the cover group with a public document, he first visited the Jiu Di Song Jiang, saying: "There is a real document here, dare to dare to dare The trouble of the buns. "He also said:" Xiangzhisu's dedication. "It seems that Song Jiang is an indispensable first pass.

When Song Jiang told him that "he had to observe that he was cast in the hall", He Tao begged Song Jiang to "be annoyed to introduce." Song Jiang perfunctory him said: "This official issued a matter of the morning, and the burnout was less. When I was sitting in the hall, the little official came to ask. "Then Pegasus went to Gaigaizhuang to ventilate. In this incident, the role played by Song Jiang seemed to be only under the county officials, above the other officials. Another example is that in the thirty -three times, Yanggu County Zhixian had to appoint Wusong as the head. When Wu Song agreed, he "then called Si Lizi to write a copy, and he participated in Wusong to make infantry." It seems that the status of Jiu Division in the county is relatively important, and there is indeed some power.

Checha Shi's book was found that it was not the case. "Literature Pass Test" Volume 12 "Working 1" said: "In the county, Cao Si to the betting ... to the vocational Yu Hou, picking up, etc., each of the townships are charged." This is Said that the betting (that is, the Division) and the miscellaneous Yu Hou, and the picked people are the tolerances of the "equal" faction of the township. According to the system of the Tang Dynasty, the division of the first was divided into nine. Nine are divided by land and silver, "ten acres are in front, eight acres are behind." Serving in service is the fourth -class service, and the next five -class exemption. At that time, the purpose of formulating this policy was to have money to pay for money and strong forces; that is, people who had money and unwilling to serve for money were paid, and those who were willing to contribute to the money.

But rich landlords often let their children serve, rarely hire people. This is because he can't bear money, and the other is not hired. Because he must leave his hometown, he will give up his wife.

Since the "betting department" of service is such a low official, why should "Water Margin" write Song Jiang, who is a betting department so powerful?

Obviously, on the one hand, the author is not familiar with the office system and procedures of the government, and on the other hand, he is to arrange the needs of the plot. Imagine that as a master's document, Guangming Zhengtian came to the local county to find a low person to find a low official to walk the back door? And do you want to secretly talk about Song Jiangla to the teahouse? This is obviously to create opportunities for Song Jiang's ventilation.

If he wrote He to observe the grandeur to come to the county, the county officials asked the county officials to immediately send someone to catch the criminals. Then Song Jiang has the ability to play "privately in private". As for Yanggu County Zhixian, the Pae Division Division, this is the author who is not familiar with the old government office system procedures. Because the county officials could not directly let the prison division come to the document, they should be instructed to handle his subordinates to handle it. Therefore, although the author of "Water Margin" is an excellent writer, he is a foreigner of the official government of the Song Dynasty.
