The prison area of the Lingtong County Ya is quite large, and it is not a problem to lock up thousands of people inside, but there are not many people inside.

Is it because of good security?

Naturally impossible.

Where the people are fierce, there are naturally many things.

Jiang Long asked a few words before he understood the reason.

Or because they are too poor, even the public officials in the county government can't get the money in time, and if the prisoners are imprisoned, they still have to give the prisoners food and drink.

In wealthy places, there are relatives who are locked up, and for fear that their relatives will suffer in prison, they will stuff money into the cell boss, or send some eggs or something, and ask to take care of their relatives.

But here, it must be the man who makes trouble, the pillar of the family.

Being arrested means that the family has lost its source of income.

If you want to squeeze some money, people don't have it at all.

Ask your family to deliver food?

Without any financial resources, how can the family have food to send over?

Therefore, when dealing with cases, except for those who cut off their heads, the rest of the criminals are generally beaten up and then driven home.

There is one prison officer and one prison warden in the prison department.

They are all small officials with no rank.

When Jiang Long came to take office yesterday, it was not that they didn't want to greet them, but they didn't have that qualification at all.

In the eyes of the court officials and noble families, the county order is just a seven-grade sesame official, but after it really arrives at the local level, for the people and small officials, the county order is already a big man.

It's the parent of a county!

In this era, the prison guards and prison guards who have strict hierarchies, have no rank and are not assistants around the county order, are naturally not qualified to welcome Jiang Long.

If there is someone in the post of prison, he is eligible to go.

The same goes for the inspection department, if there is an inspection, it will definitely go to meet Jiang Long yesterday.

If you don't go, you will despise Shangguan.

It's a big disrespect to Shangguan!

Shangguan will inevitably wear small shoes for him in the future.

Of course, those who generally dare to do this have backers.

After inquiry, it was learned that there were no regular public officials in the prison except for the prison Cheng Tengzhang and the prison guard Wen He.

When it comes to the reason, it is still too poor.

The two men were directly responsible for the custody of the prison.

The left and right sides generally do not hold prisoners, and the two of them can also take care of them.

On weekdays, I waited idlely, and checked the locks and wooden pillars of the prison every ten days and half a month.

Because they knew that Jiang Long would come to inspect, the two of them had a rare sweep of the prison yesterday.

There were no prisoners, and they were cleaned again, and although the prison was dark, there was no mold or smell.

Let Dejianglong not suffer from his nose.

However, Jiang Long was still not satisfied.

If you want to do something, how can you do it without manpower?

The prisoners, on the other hand, are free labor, and they only need to take care of their meals.

Besides, if you don't do things according to the rules, it will break the law of the court.

"From today onwards, Xiong Qi is the Fat Prison." Jiang Long was officially appointed.

Naturally, no one objected.

Teng Zhang and Wen He were somewhat disappointed, there were few people here, and the two of them thought that they would have the opportunity to be promoted to the position of prison director, but they were not too dissatisfied in their hearts, serving in the prison department elsewhere, even if it was just an ordinary cell leader, they could receive some benefits.

Here, however, it is impossible to say that sometimes a few troublesome prisoners have to be imprisoned, and then in order to prevent the prisoners from starving to death, and unable to get money and food from the county government, they have to pay out of their own pockets.

Therefore, the Lingtong County Prison is not very haode messenger.

Xiong Qi stepped forward and knelt down to thank him.

After Jiang Long asked him to get up, he then said: "The court has the laws of the court, and you must not mess with the rules...... "In short, if you should be arrested, you must be arrested and put in prison, and then the county government will naturally allocate a certain amount of money and grain."

Bear Chime should be.

Teng Zhang and Wen He glanced at each other, and they should have said yes.

Then the two of them stood behind Xiong Chi, who had stepped aside, one left and one right.

When they got closer, the two found that Xiong Chi was tall and majestic, faintly giving people a sense of oppression.

Looking from the side and back, Xiong Chi's face was stiff and serious, unlike people who were good at talking, and the two didn't dare to underestimate it.

Jiang Long left the prison and took Zhou Xi and others around the county seat.

He also climbed the city wall and looked into the distance.

There are no high mountains nearby, and around the castle, there is a plain area, which is not good for the defenders, because there is no natural steepness to take advantage of.

Just like that, a city stands alone.

If there is any benefit, it is not nothing, that is, if the army and horse bandits attack, the soldiers who are still standing on the walls far away can clearly see that the enemy cannot sneak attack.

It can only be a head-on hard attack.

After all, there are city walls, even if they are short and very dilapidated, but they can always take advantage of them when fighting.

After inspecting Lingtong County, it was getting dark, and Jiang Long went back to rest.

The next day, Jiang Long got up very early to practice the Xingyi Liuhe gun.

After eating the breakfast made by the newly hired chef, Jiang Long felt that it was not bad, so he left it behind.

shuttled in the backyard of the county government and walked to the main hall, and there were more maids and daughters along the way.

Early in the morning, the backyard was already sprinkled and cleaned.

However, the wind and sand here are relatively large, and it is possible to spread a layer of sand again at noon, and then the mother-in-law and Yahuan will have to clean it again.

When he came to the main hall, Wang Gui, the chief bookkeeper, was the report.

In modern times, the position of chief bookkeeper is actually a secretary.

Loyalty is demanding.

However, Jiang Long has no haode candidate now, so he still lets Wang Gui take the role.

The position of secretary is very important, and the subordinates who follow the senior officials can be pretending to be powerful, but if he does not fully gain Jiang Long's trust, Wang Gui has no power.

Unlike other positions, there are responsibilities.

The main book has no authority without the official, and it is an empty shelf, which can easily be set aside.

Hearing that there were a few cases pressed in the yamen, Jiang Long brought Cheng Ze, Xiao Fan and He Zao to him, sat on the high hall as an ornament, and let the three of them interrogate.

Listen and watch and learn.

Because I don't know when the case will be interrogated, I have to find those people to come to the lobby now.

It's more troublesome and delays time.

Soon, a morning passed.

Jiang Long went back to the backyard for lunch.

Wang Gui also left, on the way to walk, his heart was bitter, Jiang Long delegated power, and completely let Cheng Ze and the three of them handle various matters on his behalf, even if he was the master bookkeeper, he had no power.

If you want to show loyalty, empty mouth and white teeth, and have nothing to do, it is also rare for Jiang Long's trust.

Cheng Ze, why not, and Xiao Fan are very satisfied with Jiang Long's style.

Many times I am not afraid that you don't understand, but I am afraid that you don't understand, but I still insist on interfering in it, which will make things worse.

Jiang Long completely delegated power and let them be in charge, which is right.

At least a few months of study before he can be qualified for the post of county magistrate.

Many new officials who do not have ordinary family backgrounds have not learned how to handle government affairs because they have not learned how to be an official before.

As a result, after taking office, there was no one to help him, and he was deceived by his subordinates.

lightly make up for the loss of some money and food, or because of the interests mixed with the corrupt and bribed officials.

It's heavy, even if it is taken off, it is possible to even lose your head.

So at this time, if you don't understand, it's best not to meddle and give power to the three of them.

In the afternoon, Jiang Long still came to sit in the lobby and watched Cheng Ze and the three of them handle the interrogation case.

It was boring, but the afternoon was still in the past.

Jiang Long didn't think anything, but after the news spread, many people in the county town talked about it.

"I heard that the newly appointed county magistrate sat in court today to try the case and put a few people in prison?"

"I've heard about it, too, and it seems to be true."

"I wonder if I'll be able to take care of the meal?"

"I guess I can't starve people to death."

"I can't tell, I've heard that many officials are born with a black heart."

"Let's take a look first, if I really give food, I'll go in and stay for a few days."

"Well, you have to seize the opportunity, otherwise when the county magistrate reacts, you won't have to eat."

In the streets and alleys, the people were all talking about it.

Others were so hungry that they couldn't care so much, they just fought with people on the street and were arrested and arrested.

Early the next morning, the people all knew that they had been arrested, and they were indeed in charge of the food.

As a result, the law and order in the city suddenly became chaotic, and the county government went out to arrest people one after another.

I almost broke my leg.

Fortunately, these people did not run away, and they were very cooperative, allowing them to be arrested and taken to the cell.

Otherwise, you have to exhaust the catchers to death.

Jiang Long sat in the lobby, and naturally could see that there was something strange in it, and the county Cheng Zhou showed that he came to find it, suggesting that this would not work, but Jiang Long just smiled and said nothing.

Zhou Xi shook his head and left.

In just one morning, more than 80 people committed crimes and were put in prison.

The trial was fast, and it was full of brawls and fights.

The arrested person also pleaded guilty happily, just waiting to enter the cell as soon as possible and eat a full meal for nothing.

In the afternoon, Jiang Long did not go to the lobby again.

Instead, he found Zhou Shi and asked if there was anything in the county that needed to be repaired.

Zhou Shi is to explain one by one.

So the people in the city saw many men with strips of cloth wrapped around their elbows, under the command of the county officials, repairing some dilapidated buildings and houses in the city.

Many of the houses are privately owned, and they don't charge half a penny after they are repaired.

Although they had to work, they were not very tiring, and in the next two days, many people still went to the cells to eat.

Repairing, sprinkling and sweeping the streets, cleaning up the smelly garbage, with the efforts of these people, Lingtong County is suddenly much cleaner.

On this day, the newly appointed inspector Sun Jian suddenly sent someone to find Jiang Long.

The sergeant looked anxious.

It turned out that the army responsible for delivering silver taels and salt to Lingtong County was ambushed by horse bandits halfway, but only three people escaped, and the rest of the sergeants were all killed.

Silver taels and salt were also robbed.

Jiang Long just frowned.

Sure enough, serving in this place, you must deal with horse bandits.

Jiang Long took Tudu and the others to follow the sergeant to the school field of the Inspection Division.

The three people who escaped were all wounded, so Sun Jian didn't let them take the initiative to find Jiang Long.

One had a broken left hand, and the other was covered with injuries, and if he could not be treated in time, his life would not be saved.

"Lord Jing!"

The only one who was slightly injured was the centurion of the trip.

With a circled beard and rough facial features, his eyes were red at this time, and he knelt on one knee in front of Jiang Long.

Originally, there was no need to make such a big gift, but the centurion obviously asked Jiang Long at this moment.

If he wants to avenge his subordinates, he must also recover the silver taels and salt, otherwise he will definitely be beheaded when he returns.

Three hundred taels of silver were robbed on this trip.

2,000 catties of salt were robbed.

The silver was given to the county officials and officials.

Salt was given to the merchants in the city who had salt to draw it.
