Dugu Xinci listened to it with relish, frequently persuaded to drink, and bluntly said that he was a new tender officialdom, this Baili Hou can be worth a big deal, honest and fearful, afraid of losing the emperor's favor, you must speak freely, you must listen to it.

A few people saw that the children could be taught, so they did not hesitate to teach. Each has its own experience, and it is endless.

Dugu Xinci humbly obeyed, and secretly summed up.

The basic authority of the county order is mainly in the following aspects:

1. Promote customs and educate the people. "The county order is different from the officials, as parents, weathered." Xuanting's moralization to change customs and customs, and to educate the people of the county jurisdiction with Confucian ethics and morality, which is one of the main duties of the county order. Since the reign of the new monarchs since Gaozu Yanyuan, they have attached great importance to using Confucian ethics such as loyalty, filial piety, etiquette and righteousness to discipline the people and educate their subjects. And this task of educating and domesticating the people is mainly undertaken by the local county order, "the rich and teach, so that the chief is urgent"; "The duties of this official, the customs of this realm can be known." During his term of office, he inspected people's diseases, overdressed customs, governed the county for three years, and the Confucian style was popular, and the county jurisdiction was "peaceful and peaceful, with a pleasant voice, and a government followed, and the bustling thousands of rooms thought that they were benevolent". This move can be rewarded by the imperial court.

2. Accept and grant equal fields and persuade farmers to teach mulberry. Yantang implements the land equalization system, and the granting and repossession of land are implemented in the name of the county order. The county order is in charge of the power to acquire land in a county. The most important duty and requirement of the imperial court for the local county order is to let the county order "pro-its agriculture and mulberry", "bow down and persuade the farmers", and urge the people of a county to actively engage in agricultural production, so that the people under the rule will not lack food and clothing, and live happily and peacefully, so as to ensure the safety of the party.

3. Hear lawsuits and break prisons, punish evil and reward good. The county magistrate is both the highest civil governor of a county and the highest judicial magistrate of a county. All cases of theft, homicide, or other criminal proceedings or civil disputes that occur in the county jurisdiction shall be heard and decided by a county order. Therefore, hearing lawsuits and breaking prisons, dissecting right and wrong, and prohibiting adultery and punishing evil have become the major responsibilities of the county order. In the course of exercising judicial functions and powers in the county jurisdiction, if the county magistrate upholds the law fairly, distinguishes between the wrongs and punishes the evil, and rewards the good, the county will inevitably be clean and the people's will will be stable. On the contrary, if the punishment is unjust, the adulterer is arrogant, and the lonely and weak are suppressed, the people of the county will be confused and the government will be chaotic.

Fourth, the establishment of household registration, levy and enlistment. Under the Tang system, the national household registration was reviewed and approved every three years, and the assets were set at the ninth level, and taxes were levied according to the different levels of households. One of the major responsibilities of the local prefectural ordinance is to clean up the household registration under its jurisdiction every year: register the increase or decrease in the population of each household, find out whether there are any hidden population leaks, and check the changes in the household and other financial resources. The Tang government stipulated: "The state and county are registered on the household registration at the age of the year, and the interview makes it real, and the history and county order are the most important." On the basis of strict household registration inventory and household registration management, the county decree levies and pays the county's levy and levies taxes in accordance with the relevant regulations. "Fu to the county order, levy first, if you violate the limit, you will be punished." Whether the tax collection is paid on time and in full has become an important criterion for whether the county order is qualified or not.

In addition to the above-mentioned basic duties, the scope of duties of the county magistrate also includes the establishment of education, the care of orphans and widows, the construction of bridges and roads, disaster relief and poverty relief, the equalization of provincial endowments, and the search and recommendation of various specialized talents for the imperial court according to the needs of different periods of the imperial court. Although there are also county officials, county magistrates, county lieutenants, and other officials under the county order to administer all kinds of special county affairs, they must report to the county order, that is, "although there are special officials, they are all notified." The sage once specially wrote the "County Decree and Commandment" to issue the county decree to the world, requiring them to personally inquire about all the affairs of the county's jurisdiction, "no matter how big or small, they must bow down and kiss"

Dugu Xinci finished summing up, and he was even more depressed, and the duties of the county order were so complicated, farewell, a leisurely life, goodbye, a certain rim and a different business.

Yan Shizhi saw that he was sullen, and couldn't help laughing, "Dugu Mingfu is discouraged, and if you choose a good adjutant, you can get twice the result with half the effort."

Li Yuanhong's Mansion Yin also earnestly taught, "The job of the Ming Mansion seems to be cumbersome, but in fact it is also brief, you only need to run a good school, collect taxes, and break the backlog of cases, and you can be tested for merit."

Dugu Xinci smiled bitterly, "There are many nobles in Wannian County, and the population flow is complicated, I'm afraid it's timid," After speaking, he secretly looked at the nobleman Xue Wang Yanye who was present.

Xue Wang Yanye kept listening to the four of them with a gentle smile and did not interject.

"The evil is full of evil, attached to Guo Jingcheng, Dugu Mingfu summarizes incisively" Jingzhao Mansion Yin Li Yuanhong sighed, he could hear someone's muttering in Hanyuan Palace, "This Jingzhao Mansion and you are in the same disease, come, drink to win"

"Since it is for the utility of the country, it can be governed according to the law," Yan Shizhi comforted.

After three rounds of drinking, Li Yuanhong and Xue Wang Yanye were called by the sage to participate in the political hall and the prince-level banquet.

Yan Shizhi and Xiao Jiong also have relatives who need to be acknowledged, and they each sit down and wander around.

Dugu was disheartened and disheartened, and he didn't bother to sit here and eat cold wine alone, and pulled a royal historian to ask when he could leave the table, and the imperial historian looked at him with the eyes of a monster, such a grand event, Chang'an and Zhu Zi's ministers from all over the country gathered, and there was a rare opportunity to face the saint, who didn't want to stay longer?

However, he still replied seriously that there is no time limit for this imperial banquet, and he can leave the table at any time.

Dugu Xinci confessed that if Li Fuyin asked, he would say that he had given the Queen Mother Dugu a New Year's greeting.

Yushi nodded in response.

Dugu Xinci left the table alone, the Lin De Hall can accommodate 5,000 people to drink and feast, at the moment it is only less than 1,000 people, there is still room for it, and look at the military generals in the distance The table is still in full swing, think about it or take the best policy.

Dugu Xinci slipped out of the Lin De Palace, and slowly walked out of the Daming Palace under the surprised gaze of Jin Wuwei, it was only half an hour, and this person was full of food and drink?

There are Jin Wuwei guards all the way, but not to get lost, to Danfeng Gate, called the big bear dog, but ordered Qiu Bin to wait here, the king of Dugu County is still in the Linde Palace.

Big bear dog they with food, but not hungry, the three of them went to Chongrenfang to get the carriage, went straight to the Taiji Palace, all the Jinshi were still in the Ministry of Rites South Courtyard luncheon, Dugu Xinci was too lazy to pay attention, went straight to Yiqiu Palace, no one cared all the way, obviously the gold and jade bag on the waist is still very useful.

Yiqiu Palace is still clean, and after the women of Yan and Tang Dynasty and above three grades came here to worship, they all went to the Xuanwei Hall of Daming Palace to pay homage to the queen again.

The Queen Mother Dugu was playing mahjong with Dugu Jialuo and Qiu Taigong and others after dinner, and she was also happy to see Dugu Xinci, and asked why she left the Linde Palace banquet so early.

Dugu Xinci said a small thing, saying that he was calculated by the sage today, how the court ministers were not kind, and forced him to be the county magistrate of Laoshizi Wannian without his consent, and he had to get up early and be greedy in the dark, and he had to be oppressed by his superiors and subordinates.

The Queen Mother Dugu laughed and said that she should put a halter on her head, it is not a matter to wander around at a young age, and she must do her best to share the worries of the saint.

Dugu Xinci was even more depressed, only shouting that the Queen Mother didn't care about him, and the Queen Mother Dugu hurriedly praised him for being handsome, and he must be a good Ming Mansion. Dugu was kind and relieved, guided the queen mother and two cards, and remembered which crooked ministers of the country, should they really go to the star tower and wait for him?

As soon as he told the Queen Mother Dugu, the Queen Mother immediately scolded him for being so confused? The youngest of those ministers is already in their sixties, and they are in their nineties, but they were deceived by Dugu Xinci into eating and drinking in the Star Picking Tower.

Dugu Xinci muttered casually, the queen mother didn't care about keeping her food, so she immediately drove him to take a look, and asked Mrs. Qiu to accompany her.

Dugu Xinci pitifully out of the palace, took a car to Pingkangfang to pick up the stars, all the way to the street on both sides of the full carriage, the carriage owner is still in the Lin De Hall banquet, the rest of the entourage shrank aside to avoid the cold wind of the Yuan day, although the snow stopped for two days, but there is still no sign of melting, the wind is as cold as a knife.

Follow the roots of the imperial city to Pingkangfang, and find the star-picking tower in the north of the east of the cross street. The star-picking building is still blue and low, and the green curtain is high.

Picking up the star building was originally the property of the Situ family, but its unfilial son Situ Qicai falsely accused Dugu Xinci, and after Dugu Xinci was cleared of the ten sins, the sage put Situ Qicai into the prison of the Criminal Department, and confiscated most of the Situ family's property.

After picking up the star building, he was rewarded by the sage to Dugu Xinci, as compensation for the return of Qinglong Bookstore to the inner library, Dugu Xinci climbed up to Lijingmen and Dugu Empress Dowager, gave them shares, and let Lijingmen send hairpin Hualang to the restaurant as a wine doctor and sit in the restaurant.

Feng Yuanyi, the general manager of Lijingmen, knew that this was a cornucopia of gold caves, and the sage nodded and opened happily, Dugu Xinci didn't bother to care after throwing two hundred gold to them, and he didn't care whether the star picking building was losing or earning, just have fun.

This is the second time that Dugu Xinci has been to the Star Picking Tower, the first time is accompanied by two goddesses and little ladies from the Tang Academy, but this time it is a white-haired Qiu Taigong.

Dugu Xinci secretly prayed that those old killers would not be here, how good would it be to go back to their respective homes?

When I entered the building, my hope was shattered, and the first floor of the Star Picking Restaurant was full of people, and the surrounding circle was full of servants in Tsing Yi, and all the people around the patio platform were the white-headed officers.

A few orchids on the high platform danced enthusiastically, but they were dressed coolly in winter, barefoot and navelous, Dugu Xinci couldn't bear to look at it directly, but fortunately, the charcoal stove in the building was dense, and there were many diners, and they danced hard, but they were not freezing.

When Lu Guogong Cheng saw Dugu Xinci coming in, he lazily beckoned him to pass, and then looked intently at the blue-eyed, blue-eyed, long-legged and thin-waisted orchid on the high platform.

Dugu Xinci secretly scolded twice and was not ashamed, moved over, and looked, heh, there are at least twenty princes and princes here.

"Why don't you have a feast in the Lin De Palace?" Lu Guogong asked with a smile.

"It must be the little lady who hangs on here" Li Dejian, the bearded prince of Weiguo, laughed, thinking that he had told a funny joke.

"Yes, yes, a little lady who is here can't let the old cow gnaw it" Dugu Xinci gritted her teeth.

"Do you scold this kid for being an old cow?" Yan Chongyi, the king of Hejian County, instantly understood the stalk of Dugu Xinci.

"Why, do you really want to take the two little ladies back home?" Dugu Xinci glared, picked up a wine jug and took a sip, and saw that the table in front of everyone was full of food, and he ate it with a pair of chopsticks, but he didn't eat well in the Lin De Palace.

"Why is the imperial banquet not as good as the food in the restaurant?" Lu Guogong smiled.

"Hey, it's all cold, do you have an appetite to eat?"

"There is a little lady to see, who still remembers to eat?" A lewd old man laughed.

"Hey, who's that? The person who paid the bill is here, and this time he is not afraid of a certain amount of repayment, right? Wei Guogong pointed to a steward in the lobby and said.

The manager of the Star Picking Restaurant is also a hairpin, and he naturally recognizes the guest Qing Yuandong Hou Dugu of Lijingmen, and smiles bitterly, "Aren't you afraid that you will have any accidents here?" ”

It turned out that a group of crooked lords arrived at the Star Picking Restaurant, and the steward was afraid that if something happened in the restaurant, the prince's house would not come to demolish the restaurant, so he advised everyone to go home early, and the family members who were freezing on this day must be worried.

Lu Guogong and Wei Guogong scolded that they were actually worried that they would not be able to receive the wine money, saying that the Marquis of Far East was a treat, and that it was the big money lord, and when the steward heard it, the Marquis of Far East knew about it, and then stopped these noble servants for fear of beating people, so they let them in.

"Have you signed a life and death certificate?" Dugu Xinci asked.

"What kind of life and death does it take to watch a little lady dance? If you die here, you spend some money to bury it, whoever dares to trouble you, a certain ghost will not let him go" Lu Guogong glared.

"Wait with you, it's not too early, have you seen enough? Enough of it, get out," Dugu Xinci was impatient.

"Hehe, this kid of yours has such a stinky temper" Wei Guogong also glared, turned his head and smiled, "However, I like it"

Unspeakably obscene, Dugu Xinci almost vomited a piece of chicken chewed in his mouth.

"It's almost over, watch two more and leave" The king of Hejian County is still old, and he knows that he won't stay long with the energy of these old guys.

"If you want to see it, take a few and go back to the house to see it" Dugu Xinci smiled and said, "Eighteen brides and eighty langs, pale hair and red makeup." The mandarin ducks are made into a double night, and a pear tree is pressed into a begonia"

The old men laughed and scolded him for his nonsense.

Even if the restaurant manager is clever, he didn't dare to burn the knife, all the wine and water served, if a group of white-bearded and white-haired old men are drunk, the scene is not too beautiful.

"Okay, okay, don't look at it, one person has a cup of burning knives, and after drinking, go back to the house and wash and sleep" Dugu Xinci filled his belly and instructed the steward.

"It's better to go back to the house with a certain kid and see which granddaughter of a certain family can see it, and marry you," Lu Guogong said with a smile.

"Thank you for not being sensitive, Lu Guogong still keeps your precious granddaughter as a treasure, didn't he say that he was a brother just now? Old brother yes, marry your granddaughter? Everyone laughed and shouted, "Your little brother has confessed."

Dugu Xinci was busy pouring wine, "Brothers, the last glass, you will still be alive next year, and you will also be here for a treat."

"Come on, come on, princes and princes, old brothers, Lian Po is old, can you still eat?" Dugu Xinci stood up and shouted.

A group of old and toothless princes grinned and drank them all.

A few old men were still shouting, and a group of people came to Hula outside the building, all of them were still in purple robes, and there were some noblewomen and noblewomen with beaded rings and jade pendants, shouting, "Adult", "Father", "Aya", "Ancestor"

Dugu Xinci said secretly, the family members of these ancestors came, and when they saw that Feng Yuanyi's old goods were also there, they understood that the sons and granddaughters-in-law of these princes of the country still came from the Linde Hall or the Xuanwei Palace.

It is estimated that the sage also heard that a group of white-bearded old princes came to the Star Picking Tower to see the little lady, and sent this Lijingmen chief to see what was going on?

But look back, under the Buddha shrine, a crow shrine drum.

Who asks, Lian Po is old, can he still eat?
