At about the beginning of Shen, as the yamen's scattered drums sounded, Luo Cheng also stretched his waist and prepared to get off work.

At the beginning of Shen, that is, at about three o'clock, the yamen got off work. But now it's not called off-duty, it's called scattered or scattered. It is still very comfortable to be an official, and the officials of the Yamen of the Great Sui continue the vacation system since the Qin and Han dynasties.

It is also known as rest, five days off.

In ancient times, Mu referred to washing hair, and bathing referred to bathing. It is said that because the ancients had long hair, it was very time-consuming to wash their hair, and they could not dry for a while after washing their hair, and their hair was very unremarkable, so officials generally did not see people after washing their hair.

The government also deliberately gave officials a day off every five days to rest.

Since the Tang Dynasty, it has to be changed to a ten-day holiday, which is called a ten-day holiday.

Luo Cheng is the captain of the county soldiers, which is considered a county soldier system, and under normal circumstances, he does not need to be on duty at the county office, but now it is the end of the year, and there is a lot of various inventory work.

In addition, the year-end settlement initiated by Du Ruhui was in full swing.

With Luo Cheng taking the lead in paying off the arrears as an example, other wealthy and powerful households did not dare to be perfunctory. However, some people want to be perfunctory, so they will pay some money and food to get through, but this time Du Ruyan has a clever trick.

He handed over the work of collecting to the county corps, of course, it was not profitable, and the emperor did not send hungry soldiers. Du Ruhui told Luo Cheng that there was a commission for the collection, and if he urged a stone of grain, the county would reward the barracks. If you rush to make money, you will be rewarded with a hundred.

This is a one-percent commission, and this commission is quite generous.

Luo Cheng's county barracks is a big spender, how can he miss such a good thing.

On the same day, Luo Chengcheng passed down the order, and the county barracks had 500 people, except for the 100 people on duty, the rest of the 400 people were all assembled, led by the commanders and team leaders of each brigade, and followed by Zuo Shi and other errands of the county yahu division, and went to the countryside to clear the payment together.

According to the old rules, the team responsible for collecting the money will first divide it into two percent, and the remaining eighty percent, half of which will be deposited in the camp for future expenses, and the other half will be used to divide the brothers in the whole camp.

In short, whoever has the ability to get the money can take the extra 20%.

Stimulated by this bounty, the brothers in the county barracks were full of energy.

The county soldiers are no better than ordinary officials, these people go to collect debts, and they directly engage in the same way as fighting, fully armed, carrying guns and knives in the past. When you get to the place, if you don't pay it, they will sit there and directly check your family's background.

You say you don't have any money, but the county soldiers don't look for ordinary people, they specifically look for those big businessmen who owe a lot, don't you have money, just look at it.

In fact, most of the big families are not wealthy, but unwilling to pay.

If they really don't have any money to pay, then ordinary people won't be able to live.

The county soldiers directly check your warehouse, rummage through your cabinets, you can't resist, if you resist, sorry, they are fully armed, even if the big families have domestic servants, but do you dare to do it with the county soldiers? These guys have seen blood kill people when they were bandits.

However, the county soldiers also have discipline, even if they go to urge the Qing, they will not come nonsense.

I won't take the opportunity to rob, and I won't beat people casually.

But you always have to pay what you owe, and when you turn over the money, you will offset it, and there will always be food without money. If there is not enough food, there will always be gold and silver in the house, but it is really not good, and the big families still have horses, mules, donkeys, and slaves.

They are all the same, the same points, and there are special people to give you an estimate, and they will never estimate it indiscriminately.

If it's time for dinner, you still have to take care of their food, whether it's okay or not.

Encountering such a group of Qiu Ba who can't be beaten and scolded can't be touched to collect the accounts, although the powerful families are full of fire, they have no place to complain, because this is the meaning of the county lieutenant, and the county order also agrees, or the county governor personally sent someone to collect it, what can they do about the meaning of these three heads.

If you owe a lot, it's not true.

This family owes dozens of stone grains, and that family owes more than a dozen yuan, no more, no less, just a little angry.

But no one would insist on turning his face with the county government and fighting with the county soldiers for such a small amount of money and food.

After a few days of hard work, the debts of the powerful businessmen and landlords in the county government were almost paid off.

After several years of arrears, they were paid off at once, and the county government warehouse was full.

However, after paying off the debts of these big households, Luo Chengcheng is not responsible for the accounts of the remaining people.

First, the people are in arrears because they really have no money to give, and then they really don't have much money, this family has hundreds of dollars, that family has hundreds of dollars, Luo Cheng is not willing to let his county soldiers go door to door to rob a few chickens and a bag of grain from that family.

He doesn't do that kind of thing.

Fortunately, Du Ruyan didn't force it, anyway, the people who owed a lot were those wealthy and powerful households, and their urging came up, so there wasn't much left.

Du Ruhui issued a notice to let the people in the township take the initiative to pay it, but it was just a notice to make a look, and the specific people didn't care, and he didn't care if there was money to pay it back, and this matter was successfully completed.

Du Ruhui is a person who is more able to do things, and he is not rigid, and he promised to give Luo Cheng a commission of one percent, and he gave it immediately.

Then he also kept another 10%, as a small treasury of the county government, and used it as a year-end bonus, and gave the county's public officials a year-end bonus.

Although they don't take much, everyone has a share.

It was the first time that Zhangqiu County had encountered such a thing in so many years, and everyone was overjoyed and praised Du County Lieutenant as a good official. Du Ruhui not only that, he also sent some money and food to the elderly over 60 years old in the county, and the lonely, widowed, and disabled also sent some money and food.

There are not many people, but they represent the heart of the county.

Compared with ordinary county soldiers, one person only shared a hundred yuan, but Luo Cheng, the captain, divided a lot, a full sixty yuan, and the number was so large that Luo Cheng was a little worried, would this be too much.

This is not clear about corruption, what if the above is investigated?

As a result, Du Ruhui and Zhang Yichen told him that such a thing was actually not a matter at all, and it was allowed by default from above. After all, if the state and county officials only rely on that little money, life will not be easy.

Career fields, public office fields, and public office money are all regarded as public welfare income.

Du Ruhui's behavior of setting up a small treasury and distributing bonuses is completely a common practice.

In this way, Luo Cheng accepted it with a smile, sixty times, a lot of money. It is said that Du Ruhui and Zhang Yichen took a hundred guan alone, much more than him.

The fourth elder is a Fa Sizuo and took twenty times. The second brother, as the head of the county Zhuang class and the captain of the township regiment, won ten times.

Everyone was smiling, and they praised County Lieutenant Du for being an understanding person, and the fourth child even praised several times, not remembering how he shouted to kill the dog thief surnamed Du.

The arrears were paid off, and the bonus was paid, so when there were still a few days left before the end of the New Year, the county sealed the holiday, and only arranged some officials on duty to guard the town, and the rest of the people could go home for the New Year.
