When the person came to hand over the letter to Qin Tai, Qin Tai agreed as soon as possible. This incident is not only to repay Tan Lun's gratitude, but also to the people and tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in Jiangnan.

If it weren't for Qin Tai who couldn't leave Pingyao casually, Qin Tai really wanted to go to Jiangnan in person. Because he has experienced life and death in Fujian, and has fought with the local people, Fujian is Qintai's second hometown.

Qin Tai is dreaming of today's Fu*Jian, and wants to meet the villagers who have shared weal and autumn in the past. He can't go on his own,

"Ma Sandao" can go the same.

"Ma Sandao" went to Fujian on behalf of them, took a look at the villagers, asked everyone on behalf of Qin Tai, and told everyone that Qin Tai was also very good, so that everyone could rest assured.

After the "Ma Sandao" left, Qin Tai sent the old drunkard master or Zhan Xiaoxiao to Pingyao County to wait for news from the capital or Jiangnan.

After going to Qin Tai for a long time, he got to know the county, and it just so happened that this county liked to listen to stories. The old drunkard master who can tell stories tells Qin Tai and what they have experienced in the form of stories

"Big man" listens. This magistrate became a loyal fan of Qin Tai and completely admired Qin Tai. Anyway, the pretending of Pingyao County Ya is Qin Tai's uncle, so he simply handed over the matter of Pingyao solving the case to Qin Tai.

Qin Tai is quite sensible, except for investigating and solving cases, he rarely interferes in the affairs of the yamen. But Qin Tai's wife Zhan Xiaoxiao Zhan Woman, that is, the current Qin Da Young Grandmother, and her godfather, the old drunkard, are not easy to talk to.

All things that you are not used to seeing must be managed, and if there are files that cannot be handled clearly, the old drunkard master must say it.

This Wen Yiwu is in the Yamen, although the work efficiency has been improved, and everyone's skills have been trained, but everyone's purse has also been deflated.

Originally, Qin Tai didn't understand these things, and he didn't even notice the small movements of the officials. If Zhan Xiao hadn't secretly reminded him, he wouldn't even know about these bad habits of the Yamen.

But when he asked his uncle Qiu Min about this matter, he finally fully understood the whole story.

There are two kinds of people in the so-called yamen, the first is the officials appointed by the superiors, and these people have a future and room for development.

As long as they do a good job here, and there are people above them to help them, they will have the opportunity to be promoted in the future.

There is also the kind of people who are hired by the yamen themselves, who not only have low status but also have no chance of promotion.

There are about 100 people in a county office, and nearly 200 people in a larger county. Generally speaking, a very small number of people, such as the magistrate and the county chief, are appointed by the superiors, and the extremely large majority of the people in the yamen are hired.

So these hired people are not only afraid

The "eldest master" dismissed himself at any time, and he was afraid that once he left the yamen, he would be powerless. In order to avoid this from happening, everyone must obey the orders of their superiors, secondly, they must have their own territory and power, and thirdly, they must find ways to make enough money.

That's why there are all kinds of expenses. The hired personnel are divided into the following types, the first is to catch the head and catch the fast.

These people not only maintain local law and order, but are also the main force in investigating and arresting criminals. Not only do these people have to work a little hard, but they also have a wide range of people, which is simply local

"The Snake of the Land". These people not only knew the local squire, but also secretly controlled some of the traitors.

If the yamen does not want these people, there will be chaos in the place. Therefore, the successive magistrates did not dare and did not want to offend these people, of course, they were also very measured and would not give too much

The "big man" is ugly. The second type of people are the staff of the yamen, who are not only proficient in handling the daily affairs of the yamen, but also proficient in all aspects of the yamen.

These people don't earn much, but

There is a lot of "oil and water", but these

"Oil and water" is what they deserve. These people are not for that

"Oil and water", who will do this job in the yamen that can't even support themselves? Most of these people are frustrated people in the scientific field, and they have lost their official qualifications or have lost confidence in the scientific field before they will work in the yamen.

According to the rules of the imperial court, once you become a staff member of the yamen, you are no longer allowed to enter the department, let alone become an official.

These people have been studying for more than ten years, they don't know how to farm or do business, and they come to the yamen to do things for the sake of their own and their families' livelihood.

The enemies not only understand their hearts, but also deeply understand them, because they are sympathetic to each other. Back then, Qiu Min was a doctor, a doctor who could have been very famous, but an accident caused him not only to be a doctor anymore, but also to lose his dignity as a human being.

All of a sudden, it seemed that there was nothing, and the enemy almost wanted to commit suicide. Later, he came to the Yamen to do a job, and gradually regained his confidence in being a man, and of course he also saw through the various conditions in the world.

The third type is the technician, just like the enemy. They belong to the special talents within the yamen, some are prison bosses, some are financial management experts, some are interrogators, and some are coroners.

If these people don't work in the yamen, there is almost no way for them to survive outside. It is also due to the special nature of their work that they cannot find work outside.

For example, Qin Tai's uncle Qiu Min, who would ask a servant to work? Once the enemy leaves the yamen, let alone looking for a job, there are few people close to him.

This is also one of the main reasons why the enemy has not been able to start a family so far, as long as the other party hears about the nature of the enemy's work, even if he remarries, he does not want to be an enemy.

Three years ago, a blind remarried woman was willing to marry the enemy, and the enemy was planning to hold a marriage.

But the woman's parents resolutely refused, saying that they would rather their daughter die than let their daughter marry the enemy.

Outsiders have too many misunderstandings and prejudices about this profession, and it is useless for the haters to explain it.

The marriage had to be abandoned, and soon after, the woman's parents married their daughter to a mute who poured the fragrance of the night.

In their opinion, even a mute who pours night incense is better than a man with sound limbs and no defects.

This incident hit the enemy very hard, and after that, the enemy seemed to have lost the confidence to start a family. Qin Tai is now nominally waiting for a reply at home, but in fact, he is helping his uncle and the people to do something.

The so-called work is modern society

"Forensics",

"Coroner",

"Mortuary caretaker" and so on. Anyone who dies from a normal cause must be examined and prescribed

"Post-mortem report", which can make the deceased buried in peace. Almost all the deceased in Pingyao County need to be issued by the enemy.

Of course, there are exceptions, as long as the local armor and the squire, the four of them issue a death certificate together, which also has legal effect.

But there are also restrictions, the deceased must have died of natural causes, at least the kind that died of illness. The so-called four-person joint certificate is a local security officer, that is, a security director in the current society, two local squires, and a doctor who treated the deceased, and the death certificate issued by the four people together is valid.

But the squire will not testify easily, let alone take the risk of perjury, so it is common for someone to find a person to do when he dies.

In addition to issuing death certificates, they also had to manage the unclaimed corpses, and they also had to deal with unclaimed dead people in the yamen on a regular basis.

According to the regulations of the imperial court, each level of yamen had to have its own work and autopsy room, as well as a morgue.

According to the Ming Dynasty's custom, the county-level yamen should have at least two official servants and four assistants.

But from the beginning, it seems that it has never been full, at first it was impossible to recruit people, and then it was deliberately dissatisfied with the editor, in order to

"Eat empty salary". Generally speaking, there will be two servants and two to three assistants in a county office. Some poorer yamen, or places with a low incidence rate, will also be reduced to two assistants and two assistants.

However, it is not easy to train and train a servant, and it is impossible to retain talents, so it is difficult to find a suitable assistant, let alone handle cases independently.

Because there are too few people in this industry, they are all passed down from father to son, father and son at home, and master and apprentice in the yamen.

Once the father is old, the son is the assistant, and the grandson is the assistant.

Once the writer has no descendants and no male sons, there will be one less successor. Pingyao County is even more difficult, the only family of servants because there are no descendants, only the old servants who are in their seventies and have not retired are left, and a servant assistant who has no fertility.

Lao Zuozuo is not only a master who works as an assistant, but also his father. When this assistant was young, she stumbled upon the truth that a woman had murdered her husband.

In order to get praise from his superiors, he told the truth in front of the woman without consulting with his master and father.

As a result, the woman was identified as a murderer of her husband, and the only thing waiting for her was to be beheaded by the autumn queen. But something that no one expected happened, and this woman, who knew her results very well, suddenly rushed to this young assistant.

By the time everyone caught up and grabbed this already crazy woman, this assistant had lost his qualification to be a man.

Therefore, Pingyao County Ya only has this pair of father and son, plus the enemy, a total of three servants. For Pingyao County, the number of workers is seriously insufficient, and everyone is too busy.
