Dongcheng Terracotta Division Yamen is located in Sichengfang.

When Jia Rui arrived the next day, the yamen was lighting up.

Seeing Jia Rui coming, Chen Yejun hurriedly greeted him.

"Subordinate Chen Yejun paid a visit to the commander."

"Brother Chen, you and I are not outsiders, so there is no need to talk about this false courtesy."

"Okay, then I'm welcome, and ask Brother Rui to assign an errand."

"The first day I came, my eyes were dark, I didn't understand anything, what could I assign? If you have something to do, go to the commander. ”

"The commander was dismissed from his post and went to the Northwest Army."

This is to be assigned.

"Is it related to the fire two days ago?"

"Exactly, he was impeached by the imperial history."

A small six-rank official, who grabbed a lot of money in the capital, was impeached because of a fire, it seems a bit excessive, right?

Who doesn't make a mistake on an errand?

"Who's in command now?"

"I haven't heard of a new commander, but I've appointed two deputy commanders, one of whom is you."

"What about the other lieutenants?"

"The four deputy commanders are all relatives, and they can't come a few times a year. The two deputy commanders of the stewards were also dismissed from their posts. ”

"The new deputy commander, Zheng Tianlun, is the brother of Zheng Guifei, who has not yet arrived, and I don't know if he will come, when he will come? At present, you are the speaker of the Dongcheng Terracotta Division. This is your office. ”

As soon as he took office, he became the person in charge of the Terracotta Division, which is a little too fast.

I'm still a rookie.

"Brother Chen, I'll take a look at the information here, you don't have to accompany me for the time being. Go out and assign the errands clearly, and let them do their duty. Come back after the arrangement and give me a little bit of detail. ”

"Okay, I'll be back in a minute."

Jia Rui was left to look at the wall charts on the wall and some materials left on the table.

The entire Shenjing City is divided into five urban districts: east, west, south, north and middle. Each city district has a division of soldiers and horses, which is responsible for daily security, market management and other affairs.

The administrative unit under the city is Fang, below is the card, under the card is the shop, and below the shop is the total A.

For every 10 households, there is one person in the first chief. Each shop is 11 Jia, 110 households.

A shop is a basic community unit, roughly equivalent to a residential community.

The inhabitants of the city are classified according to their occupations.

The types of household registration are generally Confucian households, military households, artisan households, stove households, medical households, music households, trick households, monk households, merchants, city households, private households, mausoleum households, post households, fishing households, woodcutter households, divination households, miscellaneous households, and so on.

In addition to a household registration similar to a household register, each family should also write the information of each family's family members on the wall of the courtyard or on the wall.

Once the type of household is determined, it is difficult to change it.

Unless there is no one in the family to inherit the household registration, or someone is well-developed and becomes an official, and becomes an official position above the secretary of the ministry, or the emperor has a special gift, the classification can be changed.

It can be said that Dade's household registration management is still very strict.

Of course, this is also for ordinary people, as for those high-ranking officials and nobles, it is not among them.

Wealthy families like Ning Guofu and Rongguo Mansion buy a slave and sell a slave, and they are willing to go to the government to complete a formality, which is to give the government face.

Even if the formalities are not carried out, the government will turn a blind eye. No one is going to take it seriously.

That's privilege.

After two teas, Chen Yejun returned.

"Let me introduce you."

"Don't worry, let's go to the jurisdiction, I'll be familiar with it, and talk as we go."

"It's fine."

The two went out, led the horses and talked as they walked.

"Those are the archers of our Soldiers and Horses, those are horse soldiers, those are infantry soldiers, and those are fire armor."

Archers, horse troops, and infantry soldiers belong to the soldiers on the staff, who are sent by the Department of Staff, and are under the command and dispatch of the Department of Soldiers and Horses.

Fire armor is a matter of conscription by the residents in the jurisdiction to undertake errands such as urban security and fire fighting, which is somewhat similar to a joint defense organization.

The leader of the fire armor is called the general armor.

Not only are they not paid, but they also have to bear the money for paper, pencils, lamps and candles, that is, some office supplies used by the Soldiers and Horses, and they also need to pay for them.

On night patrol, in addition to the people of the Terracotta Division, there are also personnel of the Jinyi Army.

These people had to eat when they were hungry at night, and the supper was also provided by the fire armor. It's okay to be happy with the food, but if you are not satisfied with the food, you have to beat or scold.

"Huojia is also some poor people, especially the chief armor, and no one wants to do it. Unless you ignore the feelings of your neighbors and extort money from your acquaintances, you will be the boss for a year or two, and the rich will become poor. ”

Maintaining public safety should have been the responsibility of the government.

Now these fire armors are not only fulfilling their obligations in vain, but they also have to pay for themselves.

Such an errand service, not to mention that no one wants to do it, is forced to serve, how can you do your best?

It's no different from forcing a good person to be a thief.

"Our duty was to prevent traitors, prohibit thieves, dredge ditches, and inspect the wind and fire."

"Over the years, there have been more and more errands. The above yamen often assign errands, which makes us tired and miserable. ”

"What other errands?"

"There are a lot of errands. The thirteen divisions of the Criminal Department took prisoners, examined the corpses, surveyed the land, and divided the family property. The household department pursued the money and grain, and patrolled the salt and fought the grain. The military department kept a shirt to patrol and arrest, and patrolled the horses. ”

"The Ministry of Works dredged ditches, built bridges and roads, and collected atonement materials. The Ministry of Rites inspected the field, the clan marriage ceremony, the emperor went out on patrol, the loess paved the road, and the altar was built. ”

"The officials escorted the senior officer to take office, and Qin sent out to patrol, riding on the streets, and colliding with pedestrians. The carriages and horses overstepped the system, and the beggars were sheltered by the lonely elderly. Inspect the hidden population of the Jingshi, repatriate the displaced people, and every once in a while, he has to clean the courtyard of the imperial temple ....... ”

"Stop, Brother Chen, I have a headache when I hear it. Aren't we, the soldiers and horses, just the servants of the various yamen? ”

"Brother Rui, be patient, it's not over yet. There is also a census of the population, a census every ten years. Household post, yellow book, Baojia ....... ”

"Inspect and provide relief to the victims, supervise the bazaar, money, tooth shops, and prices, inspect salt and tea, and ensure smooth traffic."

"There is also cleaning up garbage and debris, fire administration, obscenity, side door left road, and ...... from the palace."

"Wait, Brother Chen, is this self-palace purification still under our control?"

This refreshed Jia Rui's understanding.

"Brother Rui, do you know how many people from the palace are in the capital now, except for the eunuchs in the palace?"

"I don't know."

"Let me tell you the truth, there are at least fifteen or six hundred people. They all hid in the capital, waiting for the opportunity to enter the palace, or go to the palaces of various kings. ”

"This ....... Did they voluntarily cleanse themselves from the palace? ”

"Voluntary, of course."

"Why is this so? Once you are in the palace, won't it be inhumane and cut off your children and grandchildren? Isn't that stupid? ”

"They're not stupid, they're all very shrewd and calculated."

"Now that the eunuchs are powerful, all the eunuchs are rich and powerful, and once they get an errand in the twenty-fourth prison, some of them are stammered."

"Haven't you heard, there are many ministers nowadays, all of whom are godsons of eunuchs. Now if you want to be a eunuch, it's not easier than your scientific research. ”

"A village in Zhili, by the way, is Xia Shouzhong's hometown, and now in a village, there are more than 100 people from the palace, and they all asked Xia Shouzhong to enter the palace."

"Their village is now even better than many rich and noble families in the capital."

Sure enough, behind every seemingly absurd phenomenon, there is a reasonable logic.

It's just that this deformed logic really makes Jia Rui feel speechless.

His feeling was that this Great German Empire was terminally ill and hopeless.
