Chapter 13: Xu Officials (First Shift, Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, all dynasties have the rules of the past dynasties, but this rule is ever-changing, just like since the implementation of the county system in the Qin and Han dynasties, the county as the most basic political power has been valued by the imperial court, and all dynasties have levied taxes through the county government to maintain the rule, and it inherits the court, county, government, province, and the people. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info to the Manchu Yongzheng meeting, the county order is called "pro-people official", but although the title has changed, but the county government has not changed much, at least since the Ming and Qing dynasties, there has not been much change in the county yamen.

But for the people of Northeast China at this time, after the establishment of the Northeast Province, they began to undergo earth-shaking changes - the county yamen was renamed the Civil Affairs Office, which seems to be the name extended from the period of military administration, when the army also sent civil affairs officials, and then the civil affairs officials sent by the Governor's Office took over the Civil Affairs Office, but they did not restore the title of the county government, and even the county order disappeared.

What kind of character is this civil officer? Although the people are still not clear, they are still quickly adapting to this change, but because they do not understand the quality, coupled with the reverence for officials for thousands of years, the people call all the officials "adults", and the police who can see them every day, punish and punish them at every turn, are naturally the "adults" in the mouths of the people, and those who sit in the office are the real "adults".

The weather is slowly getting cooler, and people are not in a hurry to adapt to the boredom of summer, accompanied by gusts of north wind, and the cold air from the north all the way south, reminding people that summer is coming to an end.

In a market not far from the PCPD, a young man in a white shirt stood out in the crowd whenever he entered a shop. The shopkeeper in the store will always bow and call "Adult". At the time of the mountain store. That made Shopkeeper Chen hurriedly walk out of the counter and bow.

"Yo, I've seen Master Sun!"

If you put it aside, you will definitely say "the little one asks for Mr. Sun", Manchurian etiquette, Manchurian tone, but that is all in the past, and now the businessmen and people on the street are quickly adapting to everything, including some changes in etiquette.

"Look at Shopkeeper Chen, you are polite!"

While bowing lightly, Sun Tiangong said politely.

"What kind of adult am I? is an employee of the Yamen of the Public Offices, although he takes the salary of the Yamen, but he is also a bunch of idle! ”

The public office yamen in Sun Tiangong's mouth naturally refers to the civil affairs office, which is similar to the six rooms of officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers in the old county yazhong, and the office has four sections: general affairs section, civil affairs, education, and land, and the chiefs of each section are ostensibly appointed by the chief of civil affairs and reported to the provincial civil affairs department for the record, and there is also a police station, which is responsible for preventing and suppressing bandits; It is used for taxation, investigation, investigation and health matters. The quota is also approved by the Provincial Department of Civil Affairs.

However, as in other counties, the civil governor took office, and he brought only four subordinates. As for the police station, it is directly established by the police department, and the director is also appointed by the police department, and the police officers are also sent by him, and the civil affairs office only supervises him.

In other words, there were only four officials in the entire county, and in order to carry out their work, coupled with the unfamiliarity of life, they inevitably needed the help of local employees, similar to the old Liufang Xu officials. In contrast to the Liufangxu officials, who had no salary but did not have any salary, they not only had a salary, but also a pension, so as to prevent these employees from having real power because they had no salary, and then they did everything possible to use the power in their hands to expropriate and extort bribes, solicit and accept bribes, and enrich their own pockets.

Although the name has changed from a six-room official to a department employee, at most it is a "temporary worker" who has bought a retirement provident fund, and it looks how undignified, but after all, he is a member of the yamen, and the salary of ten yuan a month is secondary.

He was polite, but Sun Tiangong's eyes turned around the shop again, and when he turned his eyes to the beam, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.

"I said Boss Chen, how long has it been since you cleared this beam, look at the spider webs, your store sells mountain goods, that is to enter the mouth, in case it is ......"

Sun Tiangong turned his face like this, and the face of the shopkeeper Chen suddenly became difficult to see, if there is any difference between this government and the past, I am afraid that it is what kind of "public health", it is the police who supervise health, if the police catch the pigtails, not only will they be fined silver, but they will also be punished with hard labor.

Although it was the police who checked the hygiene, and people like Sun Tiangong had no right to investigate and deal with this at all, the shopkeeper Chen, who knew that he was knocked on by this grandson, hurriedly forced out a smile.

"Oh, Da Liangzi, look at you lazy and lazy, didn't you just let you sweep the dust on this beam yesterday, if it weren't for Lord Sun's reminder, I wouldn't have looked at it yet, thanks to Lord Sun......"

Scolding his own buddy, Shopkeeper Chen followed Sun Tiangong's line of sight and saw him staring at the half-fan of roe deer meat hanging in the shop, talking to himself there.

"Oh, this roe deer meat looks like this, it's newly pickled this year! Our section chief is from Jiangnan, this goods is really a bit rare, shopkeeper Chen, come, cut me two taels ......"

As he spoke, Sun Tiangong had already found two copper yuan. Although it was a pain in the flesh, the shopkeeper Chen hurriedly beckoned to cut half of it with a knife, and without even passing the scale, he used a bag of paper and a hemp rope to send the small ten catties of meat over.

"Shopkeeper Chen, more, more, more meat......"

When he was about to put the copper plate on the table, Shopkeeper Chen hurriedly pushed his hand and said.

"Grandpa, look at you, if you accept the money, then you look down on me, this is filial piety to you!"

"Can you give money or not, this is not a law, you don't want to harm me, you have to give ......"

Speaking politely, Sun Tiangong, who had already lifted the meat, put the two copper plates on the cabinet, and pointed his hand and glared at him fiercely.

"Okay, I'll give you the money!"

Yes give, yes give!

Shopkeeper Chen, who was laughing with him, saw Sun Tiangong walking away, and the smile disappeared instantly.

"The Crow ...... the World"

Before he finished speaking, he saw the two copper plates on the cabinet, and he was even more annoyed to grab the copper plates, and when he was about to throw them out, he suddenly stopped them, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, and no matter how little copper yuan is, it is money!

Shopkeeper Chen, who put away the money, looked at the yamen of the public office in the distance in front of him with hatred, and scolded in his heart.

"God, why don't you have long eyes and kill these black-hearted people!"

Sun Tiangong, who was holding roe deer meat in his hand, naturally couldn't hear the scolding behind him, but walked to the yamen quite proudly, he was going to get off work in half an hour, just take this roe deer meat and invite those section chiefs, this is almost ten catties of meat, and it will be stewed in a pot when the time comes......

Although the weather was slightly cool, Qin Lang, as the civil affairs magistrate of Gaiping County, felt a trace of heat, and even the collar button of his shirt was unbuttoned by him regardless of his image, and it was difficult for him to do the same, although the implementation time of the "Compulsory Education Law" just promulgated was four months later, although Tian Fu was also exempted this year.

However, this does not mean that the PCPD does not have official duties, on the one hand, it is assisting the Land Survey Bureau to complete the land survey, and on the other hand, it has to use a period of time to understand the place, both of which are "soft tasks", and the survey team has modern surveying tools, and only needs the Land Division and the police to accompany the investigation, as for understanding the place, it is only a matter of time.

In contrast, the real hard task is probably the implementation of the education law and the selection of school sites, which are the responsibility of the public office, and the police department is only responsible for supervision and punishment, but it cannot blindly rely on strong agencies to carry it out.

"It seems that in the past few months, we must let the people know the necessity of reading, well, this is put together with the geographical survey! When you do a survey, you can also advertise it......"

It wasn't until after the official business on the desk was disposed of that Qin Lang walked out of the office, and as soon as he was discharged from the hospital, he saw Sun Tiangong from the Civil Affairs Department carrying a large piece of meat.

"I've seen the Civil Chief!"

When Sun Tiangong greeted him, Qin Lang's eyes were staring at the piece of meat, and there was a wave of doubt in his heart.

"Where did this meat come from?"

Faced with the question of the chief of civil affairs, Chen Tiangong didn't think there was anything, but it was just a few cents, as long as he followed his words.

"Back to the chief of civil affairs, on the way back just now, I met a hunter who sent meat in the mountain goods store, and saw that the roe deer meat was fresh, so I bought some, the chief of civil affairs, this roe deer meat is a serious mountain thing, this day is rare, if the chief of civil affairs does not dislike it......"

Without waiting for Sun Tiangong to finish speaking, looking at his flattering look, Qin Lang's brows furrowed violently. Almost immediately, he thought of the old days when the yamen scribes relied on a little power in their hands to eat and take cards, and they wanted to cheat.

"Did you really buy it?"

After getting a positive answer, Qin Lang immediately asked.

"Then tell me, how many catties of this piece of meat is, and how much is a catty? How much did it cost? ”

The successive questions made Sun Tiangong's forehead sweat suddenly, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and he could only answer after only "spent" two copper plates, but he couldn't stop saying.

"This, this really, really bought, bought......"

It was indeed bought, but it only cost two copper dollars, and the confrontation in the courtyard immediately attracted the attention of others, and when several officials and employees who were handling official business came out, they were all startled when they looked at the scene in front of them. Especially Fang Yanjing, the head of the Civil Affairs Section who had just graduated from the Seoul Administration School, saw Sun Tiangong's begging eyes, and he was very familiar with him, so he walked to Qin Lang's side and whispered.

"Civil Chief, why don't we go to the house and talk first?"

When he came to the house to talk, he naturally wanted to make things happen, it was not a big deal in the first place, but it was just a few cents of meat, but Qin Lang stared at Sun Tiangong and asked.

"You said it was bought! Okay, Officer Feng! ”

Seeing the policeman coming out of the office, Qin Lang immediately ordered loudly.

"You go, go and invite the owner of the mountain goods store he said, I have to see how this meat is bought!"
