met the second brother Qin Shubao first, and now met Zhang Xutuo, the god of war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Luo Feng's face turned red with excitement. In the history of China, he likes the Sui and Tang dynasties the most, and in the history of the Sui and Tang dynasties, his favorite is those fierce people of the Sui and Tang dynasties.

I met two idol-level fierce men in one day one after another, which was really unexpected.

Zhang Xutuo, who did not wear military uniforms and armor, looked very easy-going, this Guan Long was born in the general, and was promoted to the pillar country step by step with his military exploits, and the middle-aged man who was the new Qi Juncheng faced two young people with low status, and did not show superiority.

"Qin Qiong, as a soldier of the Guard's Mansion, why did you appear here?"

"Back to the county, a certain originally served under the command of the general of the right Yiweilai, and was stationed in Dengzhou with the Duke of Rongguo to train water warfare, and recently received a letter from home saying that the old mother was seriously ill, so he asked the marshal to take leave to return to his hometown to visit, but he happened to meet robbers on the road."

"Oh." Zhang Xutuo nodded, then turned his head to look at Luo Feng.

Compared with the fierce and sturdy Qin Qiong, Luo Feng couldn't help but be thinner, especially when he looked very young.

"Luo Goro, how old are you this year?"

"Back to Zhang Juncheng, the little one is sixteen this year. Before the county government was recruited to Ji County to dig the river to serve, after three months of work to return to his hometown, halfway met our county Zhao Zhutou to protect the county order daughter back, he let us escort together. ”

"Luo Wulang, seeing that you are young, I didn't expect you to be able to defeat three blue-faced ghosts, how did you do it?" Zhang Xutuo asked with interest.

"The small family has been making iron for a living for generations, and their father and brother are also blacksmiths, so the little ones also help to work when they are very young, and they burn the fire and carry materials when they are young, and they also help them with a hammer when they grow up, so they are thinner, but they have two brute strengths. However, I was able to catch the three thieves just now, mainly because Second Brother Qin showed great courage, and killed the thief leader as soon as he made a move, which made the thieves lose their morale, I just took the opportunity to take advantage of it, and I can't be compared with Second Brother Qin. ”

Zhang Xutuo couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that Luo Feng spoke very neatly, neither humble nor arrogant, and he didn't see the fear and timidity of the officials at all, especially when he spoke so methodically.

"Listen to you, it seems like you've read a book?"

"Back in Juncheng, Jiaci is from the Qin family in the city next door, and he has read some books before. My brother and I were taught some reading, writing and arithmetic by my mother when we were young, but I was a little stupid, and I only memorized half of a book of filial piety, so I didn't read a book. ”

The Book of Filial Piety is one of the nine classics established by the Great Sui after the establishment of the imperial examination, and Qin Luo's ability to teach his sons a Book of Filial Piety shows that it is indeed very remarkable. And Luo Feng, the son of a blacksmith, is only sixteen years old and dares to say that he knows half of it, which is also very remarkable.

"No wonder he is brave and strategic, he helped his father strike iron when he was young, practiced his physical strength, and followed his mother to learn half of the Book of Filial Piety, added strategy, and was even more chivalrous and courageous. At such a young age, there is a lot to be done in the future. ”

Zhang Xutuo turned to Zhang Xian and said, "Compared to Qin Erlang and Luo Erlang, the Zhao catcher you really appointed is too derelict in his duties, and he only knows how to escape when he encounters a thief. If you are in the army, you are deserters. ”

"Zhao Laosan is just a fast catcher, what kind of head catcher, this cheap bone is too incompetent and timid." Zhang Xianling also said hatefully.

Zhao Yukuai stood aside, listening to his legs weak, and knelt down with a plop.

"Let you spare your life, the little one is also thinking about coming back to move the rescuers quickly."

"If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you want to pass, you will be punished. Zhao Laosan, if you come back to report the news, the county will remember it, and reward you with five dollars, but you will also be punished for throwing away my daughter. It is not too heavy to punish you, but since my daughter is fine, the county will spare you once, but the county government will not be able to keep such a cowardly person as you in the future, so immediately dismiss your errand in the county and go home. ”

There are three classes of officials in the county office, and these three classes of officials have their own division of labor, including soap class, fast class and strong class, the soap class is similar to the bailiff, responsible for following the chief guard to open the way, standing on both sides of the hall during the trial, maintaining discipline, escorting criminals, and carrying out torture and cane punishment.

The fast shift is specially responsible for arrest, detention, release and other errands, which is equivalent to the police in later generations.

The Zhuang class is mainly responsible for guarding the city gates, yamen, warehouses and other key points, patrolling urban and rural roads, similar to the armed police in later generations.

Each of the three classes has a team leader, who leads the class, and each class also has a quota establishment.

However, the so-called three classes, together with their team leaders, actually do not have formal official status. In the county government, the official officials are also the county magistrates, some large counties also have county lieutenants, and some counties will also have academic officials such as teachers. The others have no grade, such as records, history, etc., they are just officials.

Officials have no rank, they are not officials, but officials are official civil servants.

And below these officials, there is Xu service, and the head of the third class is considered Xu, and the people below can only be regarded as service.

For example, in these three classes, a few of the usual quotas are considered formal contract workers, and there are actually very few of them in a county, for example, there are only ten regular workers in Zhangqiu County, and then ten in a county of this size is definitely not enough. So there are many temporary workers, and each catcher will have three or four sub-catchers around him, and then there will be ten to twenty catchers under each catcher.

These trappers are all people directly recruited by the county government from the township to serve on errands, and they are recruited in turn, generally serving ten days and half a month a year, without wages and subsidies, and even have to bring their own dry food.

Compared with the fishing service, although the fixed third-class officials do not have money and food subsidies, they are fixed errands, and they have a lot of power, and the so-called power will be advantageous.

Zhang Xian ordered Zhao Zhu to get rid of him directly, and Zhao Zhu's face turned blue.

"There must be a reward if there is a punishment, Luo Wu, I see that although you are young, you are also brave and strategic, it just so happens that Zhao Laosan has been fired, why don't you replace his vacant quota and enter the fast class to catch fast?"

The officials of the Sui Dynasty are not as cheap as the later dynasties, for example, the officials of the Sui Dynasty also have the opportunity to be promoted to be officials, and the servants also have the opportunity to be soldiers and the like, besides, in this world, who doesn't know that there are many benefits to being a hunting officer, not to mention anything else, you can really be a regular officer, and the income is enough to feed a large family, and you can even live a very nourishing life.

This sudden pie made Luo Feng a little stunned.

He really didn't expect such a thing, it should be said that it is not a bad thing to be a catcher, it is better than an ordinary big-headed person like him now, he has reached the age of sixteen, and he is about to start his service. Even if you don't catch fast, you have to take turns to go to the county office every year to be an errand officer, maybe to look at the warehouse, or to follow the guards, or to follow the catch, and that kind of errand is not good at all, and you have to bring your own dry food.

As for the arrest and cheap servants, he really didn't think about it, in his opinion, the county government is making up and arresting quickly, isn't it equivalent to a formal policeman, if this is released to future generations, it is also a good job for many people to envy.
