The profession of catching fast was a chore in the past, but it was also a division of people.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the profession of catching fast was equivalent to our current jǐng cha, but this jǐng cha was too broad.

By this time, the most important thing for them was to collect the national tax on the imperial grain, all kinds of apportionments, etc., and to shoot a lot of the work of foreign tax collectors.

It looks like an inconspicuous profession, but the oil and water are quite lucrative, which is also a division of people.

Good people can't do it, bad people rush to do it.

What about their status! It's a cheap industry, that is, the ninth rate, it's clear, if you become a catcher, then you are not allowed to gain fame within three generations, how about this profession is not too despised.

But their rights are quite large, because of the right to arrest, they can exercise their rights to the ordinary people at will, such as eating and drinking for nothing, eating the defendant and eating the plaintiff, or throwing a corpse outside your house or something, and then blackmailing some money, and so on.

But they didn't dare to provoke any kind of talent, and by the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was one more kind of person, the people.

That's right, it's the parishioners, but they don't dare to provoke the parishioners, because if they provoke the parishioners, the parishioners will look for priests, and the priests will come out to find county officials or bigger officials.

By the end of the Qing Dynasty, the ranks of this official were getting bigger and bigger, and the ranks of the officials were even bigger, so to speak, there were at least a few thousand officials in Jinan Prefecture, and there were 1,800 in a small county like Licheng County. To put it simply, we are now "government temporary workers".

This ancient county government or county government administration is basically three classes and six departments, the three classes are the soap class, the fast class, and the Zhuang class are responsible for executing the punishment and running errands, and the six rooms are the six rooms of history, households, rites, soldiers, punishments, and workers, which is interesting, it seems to be similar to the zhōngyāng institution.

This three-class six-room is basically done by locals, and the cultural level is not high, everyone has it.

The county magistrate is coming to office! That's even more interesting, he often has to bring a group of family members and long-term followers. These people are all one with the county officials, they are equivalent to assistants, the Qing Dynasty stipulates that the county officials are limited to twenty people, but most of them exceed the standard, generally speaking, a small place with two or three hundred people, a large county will have thousands of people.

In addition, the county magistrate will have to accept a number of "recommended servants" before he takes office.

What is this "recommended servant" for? Hehe, it was given to you by the big official, you have to ask for it if you don't want it.

Why does it seem to be a little less, by the way, before the county officials of the Qing Dynasty took office, they generally hired a number of well-educated people, called shogunyou, commonly known as "master".

Therefore, when the county officials played in movies and TV took office, only a few dozen or a few people were.

Of course, it is not for the county officials to bring such a large group of people to the county seat, but these people who follow them want rights, so that a unique Chinese special sè has been formed, and there are two sets of teams in one county.

The local three classes and six rooms are one set, and the county official's home is another set, note that at that time it was the county official responsibility system, and his old man said that it would count, and he could do whatever he wanted.

At the same time, these people who followed the county officials to the county seat followed the county officials to make a fortune, otherwise whoever eats too much will follow you to drink the northwest wind! These people don't have state salaries, but the county officials pay for them themselves, and you say that the county officials' little money is enough to do anything, and they can starve themselves to death if they are not greedy or greedy.

So how much money does the county official state give? It's not too much, it's about 1,100 taels of miscellaneous people, but he has to support two or three hundred people, do you think his salary is enough?

There is also the most special phenomenon that these county officials can't do it for a long time, and it will take about 1.46 years to get out of the Guangxu years.

Everyone knows that the consequence of a leader not staying in one place for a long time is to pull the deficit to his successor, so at the end of the Qing Dynasty, zhōngyāngzhèngfǔ often checked the problem of local deficits. (Something should have been said here, but let's introduce it here, you know.) ）

There's so much on the top, it's time for us to pull ours.

****************************************************************************

So how much does a little catch fast pay to scoop?

The average annual salary of these servants is six taels of silver, note that it is "year", not month.

Then the state gives a civil servant 100 catties of rice and lets him work for a year.

Wang Shuwen, the head catcher of the Jinan Mansion, is a fast catcher, but of course he is a head catcher, and his salary is higher, and he will not pay eighteen taels of silver for more than a year.

In fact, his salary has not been used at all, just to give the poor filial piety salary is not enough, his main source of salary is the filial piety of various businesses, as well as extortion, and it is not so strict, that is, the filial piety of the people who fight lawsuits or lawsuits on the beach.

Except for some famous characters in Jinan Mansion, he didn't dare to provoke, and other people had to call him "Ye" or "Weng" when they saw him.

But since a foreign priest came out of Jinan Mansion to teach the people, he didn't dare to provoke these people.

If you provoke the parishioners, you will attract a priest, and if you provoke a priest, you will provoke the king, and if you provoke the king, you will wait to be beaten.

So at present, there is an extra category of people he doesn't dare to mess with, the people.

But this parishioner also asked for him one day, so that he is quite comfortable today.

Speaking of which, because of a big case last night, one hundred and seventy-two parishioners were kidnapped from the city.

Such a big case naturally requires him to come forward, and after a little investigation, he found a newly established business name "Rui Fuxiang".

hurriedly took the three classes of officials to surround the "Rui Fuxiang" located in the west of the city.

The helper was just about to step forward and smash the courtyard door, when he saw the gate open, a man with a long scar on his face came out, looked coldly at the officials gathered at the door, and shouted, "Who is the king catcher and the prince, our shopkeeper called him in." After saying that, he turned around and entered the courtyard.

Hearing that it was himself who shouted, Wang Shuwen was stunned for a moment, then looked at the officials on the left and right, and then shook his body and entered the courtyard gate, but as soon as he entered the courtyard gate, Wang Shuwen froze.

There were more than 20 strong men standing on the side of the wing room in the courtyard, all of them scooping fast guns in their hands and facing the courtyard gate.

After all, he is a person who has seen the world, Wang Shuwen stabilized his mind, took two steps, and said to Scarface with courage: "I am Wang Zhutou, I don't know if it was called by the shopkeeper Gao." ”

Scarface glared, looked Wang Zhutou up and down, and said, "You are Wang Zhutou, come with me, our shopkeeper is waiting for you inside!" After speaking, he made a gesture to please go inside, but before Wang Zhutou could react, he turned around and walked inside.

Wang Zhutou hurriedly trotted two and followed behind, and said: "I have long heard of the benevolence and righteousness of your shopkeeper, and the old brothers of several city gates have told the little ones, and they still want to visit one or two in the past few days, so ............ thought?"

Wang Zhutou followed Scarface through the front yard, and as soon as he entered the backyard, he saw a large bamboo shed in the middle of the yard, in which many craftsmen were working, all of them were sweating profusely.

These craftsmen were dressed in the same clothes as the gun-scooping men outside, a kind of dark blue sè tight-fitting coat, and on their feet they were wearing a kind of low-waisted shoes that had never been seen before.

One of these craftsmen was a special man, he wore a dress that the king could not name.

The top of the clothes is open, but there are no buttons but a thin metal chain connected together, the sleeves are tied, and the hem of the wide coat is tucked under the waist. And the man does not have braids.

Then Scarface walked a few steps to the man, and shouted to the man, "Shopkeeper, the king has arrived." ”

After hearing this, the man turned his head to look at Wang Zhutou, who was carefully observing him, with a faint smile on his white round face, a pair of sword eyebrows stretched, a straight nose and a square mouth, and he arched his hand at Wang Zhutou and said: "Wang Zhutou, come into the house and talk, it's too chaotic here." Third brother! Give me some tea on the hour, and send some to the officials outside, and I will discuss something with Wang Zhutou. ”

"Okay, please come to the king's house." Scarface walked up to Wang Zhutou and made a gesture of invitation to Wang Zhutou with his hand.

Wang Zhutou smiled helplessly: "Together." Together. After speaking, he waited for Gao Hongsheng to come to him, and hurriedly followed him into a large warehouse on the side.

The whole warehouse was full of all kinds of metal parts, a wooden table was placed in the ground, and two benches were placed on the side of the table. ”

Wang Zhutou hurriedly sat on another bench and said with a smile: "How dare you, how dare you, you are the place where big business is, look at the things in this place, you know that you are a big deal, I have never seen these things in other firms." ”

At this time, Scarface came into the door, carried a big teapot in his hand, walked to the edge of the table, threw the two big tea bowls on the table, "pop, pop" in front of Wang Zhutou and Gao Hongsheng respectively, and used the tea in the big teapot to fill the bowl to eight points, put the big teapot "bang" on the table, turned his head to stare at Wang Zhutou and said: "Drink tea".

The frightened Wang Zhutou hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "There is labor, there is labor." After speaking, he arched his hand, and then sat down carefully.

Gao Hongsheng smiled faintly and said to Scarface: "Third brother, you go to the door and watch, I'll talk to Wang Zhutou about something." ”

Hong Jincai nodded, turned around and went out to close the door of the warehouse and stood at the door.

Gao Hongsheng saw that the door of the warehouse was closed, Hong Jincai was still standing at the door and nodded slightly, it seemed that the third child was good, he was still guarding the door for fear of his loss, turned his head to look at Wang Zhutou, and said with a slight smile: "Wang Zhutou, what do you think of my revolver?" ”

After speaking, Gao Hongsheng gently pulled the zipper, took out a large revolver from his jacket, and put it on the table, staring at Wang Zhutou with his eyes.

Wang Zhutou is stupid now, has he entered the robber's den, there are more than 20 foreign guns outside, and a young shopkeeper here actually took out a large revolver more than a foot long from his arms, what is this for?

Seeing that Wang Zhutou was stunned, he stared at the big revolver, and he didn't even know a sound.

Gao Hongsheng smiled and said, "It seems that this has not entered your eyes!" I'll use one more here for you to see. After speaking, Gao Hongsheng lifted his leg and lifted his fat trouser leg, pulled out a slightly smaller revolver from the outside of his calf and threw it on the table.

Now that the king is in sweat, this Ma De is a bandit leader, what kind of big shopkeeper, whose big shopkeeper has two guns.

How did you break into the robber's den, isn't this looking for death?

Gao Hongsheng smiled faintly, playfully, and saw the sweat on Wang Zhutou's face, which gradually converged into a trickle from childhood to adulthood, and flowed down Wang Zhutou's black and thin cheeks and into his neck.

Seeing that it was almost, Gao Hongsheng chuckled and said: "It seems that Wang Zhutou doesn't like this knife and gun very much, you see if you like this." After speaking, Gao Hongsheng stared at Wang Zhutou and took out a few silver tickets from his arms, gently put the silver tickets on the table, and gently pushed them over with his left hand.

Wang Zhutou was completely stupid now, and the silver tickets on the table clearly marked one thousand taels.

At this time, Gao Hongsheng said with a smile: "It seems that these knives and guns are scaring Wang Zhutou, I'll put them away first." After speaking, he inserted these revolvers back into the holsters, and then looked at Wang Zhutou and said softly: "How can it be too little?" It's a lot, one can buy you a life, that's six, it's enough to buy you six times. ”

At this time, Wang Zhutou reacted, and hurriedly said: "Gao shopkeeper, Master Gao, what are you doing, scared the small ones to death, you put these away, put them away, what do you say, the small ones must be done properly for you, don't be scared of the small ones." After speaking, he hurriedly pushed the silver ticket in front of him back to Gao Hongsheng's side.

Gao Hongsheng laughed and said: "The things we sent out by Rui Fuxiang will not be returned, and if you give it to you, you will give it to you, you are welcome." These are not for you alone, you also have a lot of colleagues and friends, and a lot of subordinates, everyone is not stained. ”

"As for Master Fu Yin, you don't have to worry about it, we have other arrangements over there, but you are indispensable to be beaten by a board or something, don't worry, we will give you fifty taels here, you had better beg Master Fu Yin to beat you a few more times, so that you will be rich, hahaha."

"Master, Master, you laughed, you laughed, the small ones really didn't dare to accept them, so you just spare the small ones."

"I know you're here for the sake of the people, don't worry. It wasn't for us to do that, but it doesn't prevent us from making a little fortune through this matter, and as for how much we can earn, it's up to you to help, and you can know the consequences of blocking people's money. This is not my family's business, more than eighty percent of the pawnshops, money villages, and shops in Jinan Mansion are involved, are you? ”

"Master Gao, Master Gao, you really didn't do the things of the people?"

"No, sue you, you can make a difference, the Skeleton Gang is in Huangya Mountain. It's really not our work to do the people's affairs, but we know who did it, and we have dealt with this matter, everyone has money to make, so don't get in the way of everyone's wealth. Ha ha. ”

"That's good, that's good, thank you, Master, the little one will be accepted, what should you do about this matter?"

"It's easy, you ............"
