Chapter 104 Functions of State and County Officials

After Bai Yang and Jia Xu returned to the study of Taishou Mansion, the two took their seats one after another.

"Wenhe, I haven't seen you for a few days, are you just busy with this matter these days?" Bai Yang hadn't seen Jia Xu during this time.

Usually when he is fine, Jia Xu is usually in the county town, where it is convenient to command Jinyi Wei to do things and receive information from all over the country, so Jia Xu is rarely at the base.

It's also convenient to ride back and forth now, otherwise Jia Xu wouldn't be tired running back and forth.

"Lord, it's for this matter these past few days, and later I called Minister Sun to the county seat. It's just that things are too complicated, and I can't leave here, so I asked Minister Sun to go directly to Yizhou City. ”

"Did you ask what was going on now? This batch of ferrofoam is a lot, Mi Zhu has put in such a big effort, we must keep this batch of goods. It is very good for ordinary people to buy a hundred or ten catties, but I can't imagine that we are so lucky, we can buy more than 5,000 catties at a time, which is simply a tiger with wings for our base. Sun Chen won't go, and there will be no progress, right? Do you know the specifics? ”

"The specific situation has been clarified, this matter was done by Min Chun, who is not a driver under the account of Yizhou Mu Han Fu, but this matter cannot be ruled out as being granted by Han Fu."

Bai Yang was quite confused when he heard Jia Xu's words, this is a state pastor and a don't drive it, and I don't know what the ancients thought about it, so they gave it such a name.

"Wenhe, let's not talk about the seizure of the iron first, now that it has happened, we are not in a hurry. Take advantage of the fact that you can tell me about the official titles of the Han Dynasty and the various subordinate officials, and some of the things that they are mainly responsible for. I've never been very clear about these things, and the county level is half-understood, so you can talk about it roughly. ”

"Yes, my lord." Jia Xu thought for a while and said to Bai Yang: "Lord, I'll tell you about the state level first." The supreme governor at the state level used to be called the Assassin Shi, who ruled over the territory of a state and had the authority to supervise and inspect the counties. ”

Later, there were rebels in various places, in order to concentrate the command, according to the different territories, the imperial court canceled part of the assassin history, and on this basis, some state pastors were appointed, and these state pastors have the right to command the soldiers and horses in the state, so there will generally be some military positions. This type of state chaplain has great power, so most of them are loyal to the royal family. ”

"There are mainly 5 types of subordinate officials of the state pastor, namely: Changshi, Dongcao, Xicao, engaged, and Shuzuo."

"Among them: Changshi: This position is held directly under the Prime Minister, the Minister of State, and the General, and of course, it is also held at the state and county level, and it belongs to the chief of staff of the highest local governor. It's like the current Changshan County Wang Chengwei, who is now serving as the county magistrate. ”

"Toso: As an official of the shogunate, he has great power. Xi Cao: For the official office in the main palace. ”

"He is engaged in being a state pastoral officer, and he is engaged in sacrificial wine, also known as 'sacrificial wine'. Because of the wide scope of management, there are also many classifications. ”

"According to the category, it is divided into: 1. Don't drive (don't drive): one of the senior adjutants of the assassin history, the state pastor or the lieutenant of the division, the assassin patrols a state, and does not take a car to follow, so the name is not driving."

"2. Metropolitan officials are engaged in: the chief inspector of hundreds of officials who violate the law."

"3. Gong Cao is engaged in: the selection and assessment of the master."

"4. Books and books are engaged in: the main money and grain books."

"5. Bing Cao is engaged in: the main military affairs."

"6. Engaged in governance: the main Cao clerks, governing affairs in the center, so the name is governing the middle."

"7. Classics are engaged in: the general leader of a state's academic administration."

"8. Persuasion to engage in learning: as a state scholar, the status is slightly inferior to that of classics."

"In the end, it is the position of a scrivener, and to put it bluntly, it is an assistant who is engaged."

"Of course, there are still some military positions among them, such as the Grand Sima, the staff, the sacrificial wine, the captain, the general, and so on. It mainly depends on the situation under the state pastor himself, and he will hold some positions in order to manage. ”

Bai Yang saw that Jia Xu said so much in one breath and hurriedly motioned for him to drink some water, this is really detailed, and he almost understood it when he said this.

It seems that this Min Chun's position is not low! Don t do it is definitely a person close to the state pastor, otherwise who would let him stay by his side every day, looking at this situation, it definitely belongs to one of the senior adjutants around Han Fu.

"Wenhe, since you've said this, you're telling me about the county level. To be honest, I also know what the lord is Bo, Changshi, Du Wei and the like, but what exactly are they responsible for? I don't know anything about any other official positions. ”

"Lord, listen to me tell you in detail. Looking at counties in terms of states, the county level is actually a bit similar to the state level, but the name is different. ”

"The title of the highest magistrate at the county level is Taishou, of course, there are also those who call the county guard, and the title of the county guard is a customary title, and this title was later abolished. The subordinate officers of Taishou belong to the record, and there are mainly 7 types of establishments. ”

"The main book: In the local area, he is the assistant of the Taishou, the chief clerk, and handles affairs. He was an important staff member in the shogunate, and was involved in confidential and prime minister's affairs. ”

"Long history: Similar to the long history of the state pastor, generally speaking, there are two long histories, one is the long history of the army, and the other is the long history of staying in the government."

"Captain: Maintain law and order, command and train the county's army, and have a lot of powers."

"Rafter: This position is very powerful, and he is the person in charge of each Cao, and then he will tell the adults in detail about the matters in charge of each Cao."

"Lord: Taishou subordinate officer."

"Record: Shogunate, Taishou Subordinate Officer."

"Join the army: follow the army as a staff officer and give advice."

"Of course, there are also some positions in the army at the county level, which are like military sacrifice wine: the main military division sacrifice wine. Teacher and friend sacrificial wine: the county guard recruits talents in the county, raises them in the house, specializes in counseling, and is called a loose official, whose status may be equivalent to Peng and history, and the highest status is called sacrificial wine. Whether it is a sacrificial wine at the state pastoral level or a county level, its status is very high. ”

"The above is officially established, and then I will introduce the position that Taishou hired and recruited by himself."

"Gong Cao: Localities hire their own officials, and their main duties are to evaluate the performance of officials at all levels, including the appointment, dismissal, rewards and punishments of county officials. This is a particularly large responsibility, and it is generally performed by people close to Taishou. ”

"Upper rafter: Mainly responsible for assisting in the audit of officials from above."

"Xueguan: The matter of the main private school and the school;"

"Ad hoc officials: This kind of officials are a bit special, although they are county officials, they belong to the Han court, and the cost does not need to be paid by the local governor out of his own pocket."

"These subordinate officials, except for the special officials, their salaries, monthly money, etc., are all the responsibility of the appointed Taishou himself. Therefore, the salary of the local chief is not for one person, in addition to his own daily expenses, he also has to support a large group of subordinates. ”

Bai Yang saw that Jia Xu said so much again, and benefited a lot. Watching Jia Xu drink tea, Bai Yang hurriedly filled Jia Xu with tea on the side, making Jia Xu shirk for a while, and he didn't even dare to say it.

"Wenhe, then you can talk about the rafters, didn't you just say that he belongs to the person in charge of each Cao? Could it be the chief of Gong Cao? ”

Hearing Bai Yang ask, Jia Xu smiled and said, "Lord, Gong Cao's position is already quite large, and it is on par with the position of the rafters. The Cao Cao just mentioned refers to Lie Cao, and they are: "

"Tocao: The matter of the Lord's local household registration;"

"Bicao: In charge of the inspection;"

"Shi Cao: Lord's Season Shrine;"

"Tian Cao: The main field is farming;"

"Water Cao: Water Conservancy in the Main Territory;"

"Cao Cao: In charge of water transportation;"

"Facao: Transmission of messages from and from the Lord;"

"Cangcao: Supervisor of warehousing;"

"Jin Cao: In charge of currency minting and salt and iron monopoly;"

"Will be Peng: The main project will be built;"

"Bing Cao: The Lord Recruits and Transports Soldiers;"

"Wei Cao: The matter of the transfer of the main pawns;"

"Thief Cao: The Lord Thief's Business;"

"Ci Cao: The matter of the main resignation;"

"Decisive Cao: The matter of the Lord's Prison Decision;"

"Yi Cao: The matter of the main medicine;"

"My lord, what do you remember? Presumably, for these official positions, do you need to report to you about the official positions at the county level? ”

After listening to Jia Xu's introduction in a daze, Bai Yang was a little stunned. This is too detailed! After listening to the detailed division of each state and county, and then thinking about the six departments of my own now, it is simply a bit too few. Of course, I can't use so many departments now, so I'll think about it when I return to Changshan County in the future!

In Bai Yang's heart, it is best to take charge of many things step by step, so that you can set up fewer positions, otherwise you will get a lot of them, and people will be busy with intrigue every day. After all, if there are many positions, there will be comparisons between each other, and no one will obey anyone, and there will be some contradictions.

There are many cases in history that have taught us painful lessons, and sometimes it is not that we are not strong enough, but that we disintegrate from within. Just like the Han Dynasty at this time, this is a living example.

"No need, at the county level, I know that there is a county order. As soon as you say this today, I have a general understanding of the basic situation of the current official position in the Han Dynasty, and I have always wanted you to tell me about these things since Brother Chengyan told you about the establishment of the army last time. To be honest, there are too many official positions, it's too chaotic, and I guess if there are so many people under me, I can be annoyed to death by reporting all kinds of things every day. In the future, we must not toss like this, otherwise I will easily make mistakes. ”

"Haha...... what the lord said is that you don't need to know these things so carefully, and you can also know a rough idea. Whether at the state or county level, the structure of officials is not fixed, and in many places one person wears multiple positions, or some positions are created separately as needed. Just like in Changshan County, Wang Chengwei led the post of chief Shi He actually merged the position of the rafters, so now he is in power, if there is no Sun Meng, the captain, he is simply a big family. ”

"What I just said is just an approximate staffing, I want to know the specific situation of each state, pastor, county and county, and I also work hard to find out the specific situation of each place as soon as possible."

"That's what I'm talking about, that's why I set up Jinyiwei. Of course, this department is not as simple as collecting intelligence, in the future, our sphere of influence will be larger, and it is inevitable that there will be no incidents such as Sun Meng, don't let me down. ”

After listening to Bai Yang's words, Jia Xu's face was unbelievable, and he thought to himself: It seems that the lord is thinking far away!!

"Don't think about it anymore, it's still early then! The core task at the moment is intelligence, without which we are like blind people, unable to do anything. ”

"Yes, my lord, I know." Hearing Bai Yang say this, Jia Xu hurriedly said.
