Riding a chopping horse and stepping into the world

Chapter 84
On the first day of taking office, Zhang Shun would not start the meeting immediately. He had to figure out the obligations and rights of his official position first.

The official history of Yan State is divided into six levels, namely chief official, assistant second official (that is, deputy), chief official, teaching position, miscellaneous position, and miscellaneous service.

The chief official is naturally the county magistrate, although among the entire group of officials, the county magistrate is only a seventh-rank sesame official, which is in the middle and lower ranks.

But because he is an official who is close to the people, he is in the position of connecting the past and the future, and he is the most valued by the court among the lowest-level officials.Therefore, the county magistrates also mostly use newly promoted Jinshi (Zhang Shun's palace examination is a bit special).

Zuo Erguan is the deputy of the magistrate, assisting the magistrate in managing grain, horses, patrolling and arresting.There are two Zuoer officials in the county, one is the county magistrate of the eighth rank, that is, Liu Yi, and the other is the master book of the ninth rank, Guo Mingjian who welcomes Zhang Shun.

In a county, Zuo Erguan is an official second only to the county magistrate, and is also the chief scorer of a county.When the magistrate is vacant or before the arrival of the new magistrate, the second official is generally used to act as the county magistrate.Many county magistrates were directly promoted from the county magistrates.

The chief officer of the county is a pawn, not a member of the stream, responsible for handling the county's paperwork and handling, equivalent to the office director of the blue planet.

The teaching positions in the county include teaching and teaching, all of which have not entered the stream.But the difference from pundits is that although their officials are small, they are respected in the county because they are high-ranking officials who manage the education of a county.

There are generally two kinds of miscellaneous posts in a county, one is officials who manage specific affairs, and the other is technical officials.

In some counties, according to different situations, there are some officials who manage specific affairs, such as patrol inspectors, post officials, tax bureau ambassadors, warehouse ambassadors, and weaving and dyeing bureau ambassadors. .The status is lower than that of pawns.

Officials are the people who handle specific affairs in the yamen.Formal officials must be registered with the Ministry of Officials, and the state provides them with salaries, but there is a certain term limit.

Yan State stipulates that there can only be ten officials, but many counties have excesses. For example, there are eighteen officials in Biancheng County.

Although there is no grade for official officials, there are also high and low points. The difference lies in the amount of salary.The leader of the official staff is called the official, and the deputy leader is called the official.

Handyman: A person who handles chores inside and outside the yamen. Specifically, it is not a job but a kind of labor.

There are many handymen in the yamen, and there are two to 300 people in Biancheng County. Generally speaking, there are the following types of handymen.

Yamen servants: Refers to those yamen servants who run around as servants in the government office. They are divided into three classes: Zao, Kuai and Zhuang.Among all the miscellaneous servants in the yamen, the status of the yamen servants is the highest, and among the yamen servants, the fast class pays the best, and the horse fast salary is the highest among the fast classes.

Zaoli: It is the person who is on duty to guard the gate in the county hall, and the number of them is the smallest.

Kuaishou: The "catch fast" as we know it, is responsible for arresting and arresting the largest number of people.Kuaiban’s yamen servants are further divided into Ma Kuai and Bu Kuai, which are equivalent to the difference between cavalry and infantry.

The yamen servants of the strong class refer to the people who are responsible for public security and defense, and there are about [-] of them.

Cangfu: The place where the grain is stored in the yamen is the warehouse, and the place where the goods are stored is the warehouse. There are two people in Biancheng County.

Menzi: Menzi is responsible for guarding the gates of government offices, schools, altars and temples.

Jinzi: They are in charge of guarding the prison, ranging from a few to a dozen people in each county.There are six staff members in Biancheng County, and Jinzi's work, food and silver are slightly lower than other handymen.

In fact, it is unknown that their main income comes from work and food bank, but from the routine of prisoners, so they earn a lot of money.Therefore, the forbidden son has also become a hot spot for many people to find a job.

Cook: It is responsible for cooking for the government office and various departments.This kind of labor has certain skills, so there is more food and silver than other labor.Because the kitchen servants are responsible for the purchase of official materials, they often take advantage of official power to deceive merchants or deduct kitchen materials.

Zhaifu and Guanfu: Zhaifu and Guanfu are responsible for the arrangement, cleaning and management of utensils in schools and post houses. They are relatively fresh in chores and have a higher regular income, but less extra income.

Drum Fu, Bell Fu, Bell and Drum Fu: They are responsible for beating bells and drums at night in the Bell and Drum Tower to tell the time, which is commonly known as "watchman".

Groom: Responsible for the feeding and use of official horses and stage horses.

Water husband: It is a laborer who is responsible for the elegant transportation of the supply of drinking water for the government.

Courier: The courier is a labor force set up by a county with a courier station and post station, and is responsible for delivering official documents and items.

Coachman: The coachman is responsible for driving the animals and driving the carriage.

Bearer: The bearer is responsible for carrying the official sedan chair.

Umbrella husband: Umbrella husband is a labor force to hold an umbrella for the officials.

Blowing hands: Blowing hands is a labor force that blows the trumpet to clear the way for officials to travel.

Shop Bing: It is responsible for the escort of the Ministry of War and military documents and military items, the county's public security affairs, and the custody of petty criminals.

City defense soldiers: soldiers who defend the city. There are more than 600 people in Biancheng County, led by the county captain.

After understanding all the duties, the boss Guo Mingjian took Zhang Shun and others to visit the whole Biancheng County.

First of all, it is naturally the county government office. In front of the county government office is the place where cases are opened, and there are several study rooms behind it, where other officials work. The county magistrate, boss and county lieutenant all have separate study rooms, but Generally, there is no need to work in the study room.

In the back is the resting place of the county magistrate. There are four rooms, a latrine, a kitchen and warehouse, plus a small garden. The decoration is very luxurious, and it must have been made by the former county magistrate.

On the left side of the yamen are the residences for the yamen staff to rest, on the right side are kitchens and warehouses, and behind them are prisons, which are built underground with only one entrance above.

Soon, they came to the most important place in Biancheng County, which was the barracks, where the soldiers stationed in Biancheng County rested.

There are four barracks in Biancheng County, each built on the edge of the city wall near the four gates.

Each barracks can accommodate 300 people, but now there are only about 150 people in each barracks.

The barracks were a bit dilapidated, and they were just a few simple tents. The soldiers inside were also uneven, including the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled.

Logically speaking, a county should have more than [-] soldiers, but Biancheng County only has more than [-] soldiers. Apart from the old, weak, sick and disabled, there are probably only [-] soldiers who can afford it.

Moreover, the equipment of the soldiers guarding the city is mostly in tatters, either the leather armor is cracked, or the weapons are embroidered, and they usually lack drills.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhang Tie frowned, and said to himself: "With these people alone, it seems impossible to exterminate bandits, and they are not as fast as they are."

In the past, there was no county lieutenant in Biancheng County, and they were controlled by the county magistrate alone. At the beginning, the soldiers in the barracks were not like this. As for the reason, I won’t say much. Something big is about to happen.

Liu Yi also looked ugly. This is the city defense soldier he wants to take over. How can he be happy with his current appearance.

After observing three barracks one after another, all of them were like this, and Liu Yi's complexion became darker.

On the way to the last barracks, Liu Yi came to Zhang Shun, thought for a while, and said in a low voice, "My lord, the city defense soldiers can be of great help in terms of equipment."

Zhang Shun was taken aback when he heard the address, but then he realized that now that he has officially taken office, he really needs to use a formal address outside.

Thinking of some of the equipment that Zhang Tie searched for, Zhang Shun nodded, "Well, don't worry, city defense soldiers are very important, but in this regard, I still have to talk to my brother."

When they came to the last barracks, the scene in front of them really made Zhang Shun and others feel refreshed.

The barracks are also dilapidated, and the leather armor on the soldiers is also a bit worn out, but the weapons in their hands are shining with cold light.

The soldiers in the barracks were all practicing under the leadership of one person, walking in orderly steps, waving the blades in their hands, and uttering orderly shouts.

Looking at the scene in front of him in surprise, Liu Yi hurriedly asked Guo Mingjian who was beside him.

"Master Guo, why is this barracks so different?"

"Master Liu, does anyone know who is leading the practice?"

Guo Mingjian did not answer Liu Yi's question, but pointed to the person in the barracks who took the lead in training the soldiers, with a strange expression on his face.

Zhang Tie and the others looked at the leader curiously. The leader was in his twenties, more than eight feet tall, with a square face and wide brows. He held a bright silver gun in his hand and performed every move. Drilling the soldiers behind him.

Liu Yi shook his head, looked at Guo Mingjian suspiciously, "Master Guo, how would I know who he is, I just arrived here."

Guo Mingjian was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Liu Yi and others didn't know the person who took the lead in the drill.

Shaking his head, Guo Mingjian said with a strange expression: "This is none other than Yan Beichen who killed the previous county magistrate."

"what!"
