Chapter 112 Grassroots Officials

Five days have passed in a blink of an eye, and Liucheng has gradually settled down. After Zhuang Yi made a small fortune again, there was basically no shortage of food for the winter, but there would still be a food shortage after the beginning of the year. And he is about to marry Princess Ailan, this is a dowry is indispensable, and then more than 20,000 Murowei people will also follow, which requires a huge amount of grain and grass, although they may bring some cattle and sheep, there will still be a huge gap.

The 4,500 war horses brought back plus the 2,000 captured from the Bohai people, Zhuang Yi was in a hurry to get rid of them, but he couldn't find a buyer for a while, and he was helpless. They also sent hands to graze the cattle and harvest the forage for the winter.

Long-term matters still need urgent preparations, but a snake cannot fly without a head, and a bird cannot fly without wings, and the administrative team must first set up so that local governance can be restored as soon as possible. But the question arises again, what kind of name should the organization be formed?

Duan Zhongzhong suggested that the administrative system should be set up by other states and counties, even if it is not recognized for the time being, but it can be governed.

Zhuang Yi calculated according to this system, there are not so many people to act as errand officers and staff, he thought about it, and simply waved his hand and said two words, military management!

So, after two days of thinking, and referring to his pitiful little historical knowledge, Zhuang Yi brewed a temporary official system, and the fresh and hot Yingzhou Provisional Military Control Office was established!

This made Duan Zhongzhong cry and laugh, but he couldn't refute it, so he could only pinch his nose and accept this inexplicable and nondescript temporary military control office. Zhuang Yi led the soldiers and horses of the Pingliao Army, signed the order of the Yingzhou Provisional Military Control Office, and concurrently served as the director of the house. In fact, this workshop is taken care of by Zhu Yongji's disciples Zu Xiangrong and Yuan Jingsi, and they need to learn more about their ability to handle copywriting.

Ren Duan Zhongzhong was engaged in the soldiers and horses of the Pingliao Army, the Yingzhou Provisional Military Control Office, and the head of the house. The household registration is linked to the acres of land, and Duan Zhongzhong has to count and measure all the acres of land in the entire Yingzhou.

Duan Renzhen was also appointed as the head of the warehouse of the Provisional Military Control Office; Fu Tie Hand Pipe Workshop; The barracks were handed over to Kang Zhenghe to practice; The law room was handed over to Mei Tu, who was a Xi man and rarely knew Chinese characters, could speak Chinese, and was the best in managing public security.

There is no problem with such an appointment, and the day-to-day administration can already be functional. But Duan Zhongzhong found Zhuang Yi to complain. He was very upset with Kang Zhenghe's name, because Kang Zhenghe's name was the same as his character.

Zhuang Yi couldn't laugh or cry about this, so he waved his hand again and renamed Kang Zhenghe Kang Zhengming, but there was still one word the same, and Duan Zhongzhong had to accept it with a tangled face. Although there are people who have violated the Venerable in this era, it doesn't matter if they have the same name, as long as the Venerable is not taboo and is not a relative or sage of the descendant, it generally does not matter if he is the descendant. Just like Lu Long has a Li Quanzhong, and Xuanwu has a Zhu Quanzhong, but Zhu Quanzhong was named by the emperor.

At the beginning of October in western Liaoning, the temperature dropped sharply, there was a chill in the evening, and the morning was even more frosty, and a thin layer of frozen soil gradually appeared in the fields.

Officials at all levels of the Pingliao Military Government are busy, in fact, after the affairs are stabilized, there is nothing to be busy with, mainly to prepare for Zhuang Yi's wedding. Of course, Zhuang Yi also has his own things to do, the affairs of the army, for the time being, are relatively loose, there are too few soldiers brought by Dushan Diexiu Village and Wolf Mountain, and there are too many Xi soldiers, he wants to reorganize, but he is afraid of provoking contradictions, which will outweigh the losses.

Therefore, he put his mind on sorting out the household registration of Yingzhou, which is a long-term and meticulous and cumbersome matter, and only when there are people under the rule can tax revenue be created and soldiers can be recruited from it. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Yingzhou had a county, and there were more than 8,000 households in Tianbao, plus the number of local garrisons, with a total population of nearly 200,000.

The number of registered households today is 5,210, but the number of households is a bit ambiguous, and the actual number of households may be more than that. And the geography near Yingzhou, Zhuang Yi also needs to have an in-depth understanding.

In the following days, Zhuang Yi and Duan Zhongzhong visited and inspected the villages around Yingzhou, reappointed and dismissed the officials of the grassroots organizations, restored their governing powers, and registered them so that they could be included in the normal state of governance.

The rural grassroots organizations of the Tang Dynasty basically continued from the Sui Dynasty. That is, all households are in 100 households, 5 miles are townships, 4 families are neighbors, and 5 households are guaranteed. Each mile is placed in a correct person, the palm is compared to the household registration, the agricultural mulberry is planted, the inspection is not violated, and the enslavement is urged. Those who live in the city are the fang, and do not have a proper person, who is in charge of the door and the key, supervises the adulterers, and exempts them from military service; Those who are in the field are villages, and those who are not alone are placed. Its village is full of 100 families, and one person is added, and he is in charge of the same square.

In this way, it seems that the organization is relatively tight, and the system of the final Sui generation is perfect. In the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan Jinyang raised troops, and was supported by Liu Long, the wealthy township chief of Jinyang, and the township chief system of the Sui Dynasty was abolished in the early Tang Dynasty, which was restored in the Zhenguan period, and was abolished in the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, but the grassroots organization still exists.

In fact, neighborhood chiefs and village leaders are generally set up, and the township leaders who manage 100 households and the township rulers who manage 500 households are not permanent, and they have townships but no growth. However, the grassroots level has to ask people to manage affairs, and the township has one elderly, and the county makes up for the elderly, and the township judicial and administrative affairs are transferred to the county department, and the elderly are only responsible for the work of etiquette and education.

In this way, the power is in the county government, and the two levels at the grassroots level and township have no power, and over time they gradually disperse, and the powerful families have taken advantage of the situation, and the land annexation has become more and more serious, while the county-level officials have not been restrained, and the whole society has gradually formed a kind of large landlord manor economy, and the government and military system have collapsed as a result.

The population of Yingzhou is mainly concentrated in the middle area south of Liucheng and west of the Liaohe River, and there are also slight villages around Yanjun Shouzhu and Ruluo Shouzhuo, but the population is much smaller.

Zhuang Yi and Duan Zhongzhong went to the townships for more than ten days to visit the villages, and re-screened the household registration, and found that there were more than 1,000 more households than recorded in the household register of the state government, but still less than 50,000 people, a total of 48 townships were divided, five were set up as one guarantee, and one chief was placed as a guarantee; Five guarantees and twenty-five households are one mile, with one person in the long and one deputy in the li; One hundred and twenty-five households in five miles have one township order, one person, one thief, and one elderly.

This township-level organization can be established to work in the office, referring to the grassroots pavilion chief system in the Qin and Han dynasties, the township order and the cheng are mainly responsible for civil affairs and taxation, and the thief is to hunt down the thief and ask the case, and the elderly are to choose the township of moral respect, responsible for etiquette and education. Although this township order is also an order, it is only a temporary setting, and in fact it is not a grade, and the positions that are not included in the grade are collectively referred to as officials.

At present, it is a military town, and there is no county, and the final decision on all military and political affairs is transferred to the Yingzhou Provisional Military Control Office, and the government decrees are accessible from top to bottom, which is basically stable.
