The wind blew through the fields, and the wheat waves.

A stream of wheat fragrance came, Zhao Shu only felt relaxed, and he couldn't wait to leave.

Seeing that his demeanor was natural, the old peasant continued: "In the past, there were many small officials, and our side was often tossed, but after you ascended the throne, those little officials were much better. ”

"Why is that?" Zhao Shu asked with a smile, feeling better and better.

The old peasant coughed, spit out a mouthful of phlegm, and said: "The villain once heard a few small officials talking, they said that your temper is not good, the emperor was merciful in the past, and he couldn't bear to punish people, but you scolded at every turn, and you can do anything at every turn...... Exile. We're on the edge of the capital, and they're scared. ”

Zhao Shu nodded and asked, "Then how are you waiting for today?" ”

"Okay." The old farmer probably felt that he was getting older, so he had a lot less scruples, "This harvest is good, life is okay, but I am afraid of natural and man-made disasters." ”

Zhao Shu asked: "I know natural disasters, what are man-made disasters?" ”

His eyes were a little cold, probably the kind that wanted to kill.

The people on the side can see that the official family is very relaxed today, and it has never been easier, if this ease is interrupted by some uninteresting officials, that ......

Hehe!

Let's go to remote areas to contribute to the Great Song Dynasty.

This official family is probably the most difficult to figure out since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, with a sharp temperament, sometimes good and sometimes bad, the key is that you can't judge his mood at all, so how to deal with it?

The old farmer said: "Official, man-made disasters are illness, anyway, it is a matter of spending money. If such a thing happens, the family will be poor, and it is estimated that in late autumn there will be no surplus food, and the family can only sell the land to survive, otherwise they will starve to death! ”

Zhao Shu had some thoughts in his heart, "It's just that the family doesn't have much money saved, right?" If something happens, you will be poor. ”

The old farmer nodded, then sighed, the wrinkles on his face were vertical and horizontal, reminding Shen An of the bark of the old tree.

Zhao Shu said: "So I have to work hard this day." I would like to ask, how about conscription? ”

All the peasants shook their heads, and the old peasants smiled bitterly: "That's not paying." And specially draw the strong men in the family, what should I do if there are fewer strong men in the family? Do you want to ask someone to farm the land? The field can only be deserted. ”

Zhao Shu understood.

When the old farmer saw his serious face, he said, "It's just that our auspicious charms are better." ”

"Why?"

Zhao Shu was already ready to leave, and sat down again when he heard the words.

The old farmer said: "Our auspicious talisman has a lot less servants than in other places, everyone comes in turns, and this day is still passable, this is all the kindness of the official family." ”

Shame on you!

Zhao Shu nodded, remembering what happened back then.

It was the time of the first emperor, Shen An and Zhao Ji, two and a half children, encountered the incident of Wenfeng Village, and they were indignant, and the first emperor was also merciful, so he agreed to work in Xiangfu County. In fact, it's a recruitment system.

The people mounted their horses and went on.

"It's not easy for the people." Zhao Shu and Zai Fu said: "Look at those old people, they are all old and still working in the fields, I feel ashamed when I think about it. ”

Han Qi said: "Official, if the minister is at this age, I'm afraid he will falter...... Ay! ”

……

In the county government of Xiangfu County, the county commander Zhang Qiwei sat on the top, and the two officials below were Wang Xiao, the chief bookkeeper, and the other was Zhu Jiang, the county governor.

Don't be surprised, there are people floating on the Great Song Dynasty, and there are many officials. After many years of shouting, there are still many people who have no place to arrange.

But it's not the same below, and there are few officials below.

There are only two or three officials in a county, and some counties have a small population, low taxes, and even no county ordinances.

-- In counties with less than 400 households, there is no county order, and the main book is also the governor of county affairs.

This is the current status quo of the Great Song Dynasty, because it is impossible for the officials who are officials in the imperial examination and those who are in the shadow to serve as petty officials below, and they are all crowded in Bianliang and have no place to place. However, the states and counties below are understaffed, and there are only two or three kittens in the establishment.

Zhang Qiwei took a sip of tea and said comfortably: "Seeing that the harvest is in sight, [txt] let them keep an eye everywhere, don't make a bad mistake." Tell them that this is an auspicious talisman, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, don't blame someone for being ruthless if you make a mistake. ”

Wang Xiao, the chief bookkeeper, said with a smile: "Those little officials are measured." ”

"It's good to be measured!" Zhang Qiwei's eyebrows were gloomy, "I want to be an official for many years, but after all, I still have to go around in circles below, but I can't go up, why?" It's because a certain character is too straightforward, even if the official family comes, a certain person still sits still, and the official with this kind of temperament doesn't like it! ”

Zhang Qiwei is still in the position of county commander at this age, and he has basically bid farewell to the ranks of important ministers in this life, so he is particularly embarrassed.

Zhu Jiang, the county governor, said: "You are a noble character, the public cannot be light, and the king cannot be slow." ”

Zhang Qiwei sighed: "Some people persuaded that it was time to bow his head, and when he saw Shangguan, he should bow his head and learn to say some good things, but he is ...... Can't do it! ”

"Prefectural order!"

There was a sudden scream outside, and Shengsheng stopped Zhang Qiwei's follow-up sighs, and he said angrily: "What is it called?" ”

A small official ran in and said with a frightened expression: "County order, official...... The official family is coming. ”

it!

As soon as Wang Xiao and Zhu Jiang stood up, with a whoosh, Zhang Qiwei was gone.

"The official is here?"

The two of them wondered as they ran, thinking to themselves what the official family was doing when they came to Xiangfu? Also, the county order said that the official family came to him like this, and he would not flatter...... But just now he ran faster than the best horses in Xiangfu County.

When they ran out of the county office, they saw a group of people who were pressed by the black.

Countless people......

The first was Zhao Shu, Zhang Qiwei in front of him bowed, and his hands were almost touching the ground.

"Official ......" Zhang Qiwei has been an official for so long, and he never thought that one day he would be able to see the official family in his own place, and he was incoherent with excitement.

"Official, you are here, ...... Rejoice! Rejoice, minister...... You see, this is Xiangfu County Ya, the minister has been working hard here for many years, the minister has never been corrupt for a penny, has never been corrupt for a penny......"

Zhao Shu was still smiling at first, ready to comfort the grassroots officials, but he didn't expect Zhang Qiwei to be too excited and incoherent to such an extent.

He looked at Zhang Qiwei with black lines on his head, and Zhao Ji beside him said: "The officials came down to see the officials below." As he spoke, he stood in front of his father, and then the people of the Imperial City Division came up and began to take control of the situation.

What do you want to do here?

Is it corruption that makes the heart weak?

There was Yushi who accompanied him, and he immediately stared at Zhang Qiwei, ready to turn around and investigate this person.

Zhang Qiwei hurriedly led the way, Zhao Ji took a step back, and said in a low voice to Shen An: "This person doesn't look right." ”

He had never seen such a helpless official, so he had a bad impression of Zhang Qiwei.

"He's not young, this kind of ...... is probably unwilling to be in the official career, and I don't know whether to be happy or panicked when I see the official family. ”

Shen An also had this kind of mentality in his previous life, but he stabilized it at the time, but later he would inevitably fantasize about the leader's impression of him and whether he could be promoted because of it.

Everyone wants to be promoted, of course Zhang Qiwei also thinks that when Zhao Shu comes here today, it is the same as a bigwig of a country raiding a county government in later generations, and the county order is good if it is not scared.

After entering, Zhao Shu saw that there were only three people there, so he asked, "What about the others?" ”

Zhang Qiwei said: "The official, the harvest is imminent, and the officials in the county have been sent to the bottom by the ministers, and the ministers let them go to see how the crops are in various places. Otherwise, you won't know what's going on if you're fooled. ”

This is not bad, but Zhao Shu asked, "Then why didn't you go down?" ”

Zhang Qiwei wanted to die instantly, "Official, minister...... Minister......"

He felt that he was going to be finished, but Zhao Shu said: "Fortunately, I didn't prevaricate for any other reason." ”

"How many of the various ranks of the servants in Xiangfu County are recruited?"

Zhang Qiwei said: "There are thirty-two people. ”

That's a lot!

"This is a lot of expenses every year, maybe you can afford it?"

"Every year, the auspicious charms leave these people's money and food, and Shangguan also has a number."

This matter was decided by Renzong at the time, and Shangguan didn't want to do much about the money and food of the thirty-two people, so those disaster victims could always work in the Xiangfu County Ya.

Zhao Shu nodded, "How are those people doing?" ”

"Diligence!" Zhang Qiwei said: "Although they have money and food, they are not registered, so they are very diligent. ”

This is the temporary worker of Da Song.

"How is it compared to the old errand?"

"The original ......" Zhang Qiwei smiled bitterly: "The original people were recruited by conscription, they had no money and food, they worked for nothing, most of them were lazy, and some people were unwilling, and then they colluded with each other, and they became rich people after a few years of being a small official." ”

This is the disadvantage of the rule of officials.

Zhao Ji couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, feeling that he had choked this problem and was invincible.

He glanced at Shen An, and Shen An nodded slightly in approval.

To mobilize the enthusiasm of work, there should be incentives, there is no incentive, do good and bad work for yourself, how many are willing to work?

Han Qi coughed dryly and said, "Then what do you think...... Is it better to recruit, or is it better to be forced into the army? ”

Zhang Qiwei was a little confused, and he was confused with excitement.

He felt that the officials and assistants came to Xiangfu together, which was the greatest affirmation of himself.

Excited!

As soon as people are excited to speak, they don't enter their brains and blurt out ......

"Of course, it is well recruited, not to mention the petty officials recruited by the conscription...... not to mention the cheating and trickery" Zhang Qiwei didn't see the ugly face of the officials behind him, and said excitedly: "The petty officials don't have money, they live on corruption...... They ......"

He was stunned to realize that he had said the wrong thing.

No, not the wrong thing, but the truth.

Oh my God!

Look at the faces of the Zaifu, it's all dark.

Look at the faces of those officials, the pigment shops in the capital have been opened to the Xiangfu County Ya.

it!

Zhang Qiwei's feet were a little soft, and he suddenly found that he had exposed a very serious fact in broad daylight.

He panicked!

……

The fourth more is sent, asking for a monthly pass. Good night!
