Chapter Twenty-Nine: Courage is not small
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were roughly six officials in the ordinary county government, namely the county order, the county official, the main book, the teaching, the canon and the inspection.
The highest rank is naturally the county order of the seventh grade or from the seventh grade.
For counties with slightly larger populations and sizes, the level of the county order can be raised by half a level.
The rank of the county order in the counties near Gyeonggi is even higher, after all, they are Beijing officials.
Under the county order is the county Cheng, which is equivalent to the second-in-command in the county government, with the official level being the eighth grade, and is in charge of the county's archives and documents, warehouses and horses, tax collection and other government affairs.
In addition, the county officials of Zhengbapin also have teachings, but they are only school officials in charge of education, and their authority is not too great.
Anseong County is located in a remote area, and the educational cause is very weak, and the position of teacher has always been held by the county minister.
Then down is the main book, equivalent to the secretary, can be said to be the right-hand man of the county order, although the official level is only nine products, but on the one hand and the number one has a close relationship, on the other hand, it is also in charge of the county's population household registration and clerical affairs, so the right is not small.
The last two, the history and the inspection, are only from the nine products, but the responsibility is great.
Also known as the county lieutenant, the canon is responsible for the security of the county and the management of prisons.
As the director of the inspection department, the inspector is responsible for managing the traffic arteries, arresting thieves and setting up checks, which are all hard work.
Now that the evil is rampant, these two will inevitably have to deal with evil spirits and ghosts.
Therefore, it is both fat and drudgery.
At this time, the time limit agreed by Fang Yunchen had passed, but among the five county officials in the Ya of Ancheng County, none of the county officials, county lieutenants, and inspectors appeared on time.
It shows that before Fang Yunchen was reborn, except for the main bookkeeper Lu Yibo, who repeatedly jumped left and right, the rest of the county officials did not take Fang Yunchen in their eyes at all.
Some of the three of them even regarded Fang Yunchen as a dying person, so last night they unscrupulously discussed the twists and turns of life with their mother-in-law, and they didn't think about coming to the county government to do something at all.
And those who arrived early were a large number of officials and miscellaneous servants in the county government.
Even the full-time stable woman was in place on time.
Similar to the imperial court, in addition to the six senior officials, the county government also has six rooms of "officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers", which are responsible for corresponding related affairs.
It can be said that although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs.
The six-room scribe had no money and could only survive on some other service expenses.
In addition, there are three classes of officials, namely the soap class, the fast class and the Zhuang class, which are equivalent to specific law enforcement officers and are the lowest level in the county government.
These people have no official status, so naturally they have to be obedient to the scene, and they are honest like quails.
There are nearly 100 people up and down, and the scale is not small.
As if sensing the seriousness of the situation, all the people present stood in the not spacious lobby, waiting for Fang Yunchen's appearance with blank eyes.
"Lord Fang has arrived!"
With a shout, Fang Yunchen finally made a high-profile appearance after a rest.
Naturally, there is a team behind him, which is no longer the same as the previous commander of the light pole.
Everyone was not very surprised, after all, many of them knew that there were several masters in the yamen yesterday, and they should be the ones who followed Lord Fang.
After Shen Xuozi and Lin Changfeng showed their faces, they were invited to the side room.
Seeing a large number of people shaking in the hall, Fang Yunchen was also a little dazed for a while, after all, it was the first time for him to be such a big ...... Sesame Officer.
Syllable!
Slowly sitting down, Fang Yunchen slammed the shocking wood, and everyone was suddenly silent and bowed down one after another.
"See the ...... of adults"
It's just that the quality of these people is not high, and the saluting movements are uneven, like ocean waves, and hundreds of heads are swinging around.
Fortunately, the etiquette of the Great Zhou Dynasty was not as elaborate as the Ming and Qing dynasties, and Fang Yunchen didn't care about these details.
"Are you all here?"
Lu Yibo hurriedly stood up and nodded, he had been in the yamen for the longest time, and there were almost no fresh faces in the hall for him.
If you look closely, you will find that not only did the three adults not arrive, but even some of the three classes of officials and miscellaneous servants were missing.
Hearing this result, Fang Yunchen was very unhappy.
On the one hand, he has no prestige as the county master, and on the other hand, looking at the large number of county officials in the audience, Fang Yunchen only then knew why the daily use of the county government would be like a bottomless pit.
It turns out that there are so many idlers.
Usually it is not very useful, and at the critical time, it has become a melon-eating crowd one by one, sitting and watching the dignified county order and the four wealthy clans fighting.
I don't have to say it, I can only entertain them with fried squid.
"It's not a small amount of courage!"
As soon as Fang Yunchen spoke, his voice was loud and full of confidence, which made everyone present feel their hearts skip a beat, only to feel that the big drama was about to be staged.
"Pass the official's password, inform all the officials who have not come, there is no need to come tomorrow, it just so happens that the county government has a lot of mouths and is very noisy!"
Fang Yunchen directly asked Lu Yibo to write down the officials who did not arrive on time, and then issued a notice to sweep these diehards home.
When the officials who had just arrived heard the news, they almost fainted on the spot.
Many people are not convinced.
What's the use of just saying cruel words in front of the officials, but none of the big people in the yamen came on time.
At this time, I only heard Fang Yunchen continue: "What's even more infuriating is that in addition to them, there are actually people who take the words of this official as a deaf ear...... Then we'll wait and see when these people arrive! ”
As he spoke, Fang Yunchen picked up the teacup handed over by Yang Laoqi and took a sip.
Everyone in the audience only felt an invisible pressure, slowly spreading around.
Beads of sweat the size of beans slid down everyone's foreheads and dripped onto the floor paved with bluestone bricks.
It's really like a year.
In this case, everyone present didn't even have the heart to slander.
The frail few people only felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground on the spot, but in order to keep their hard-won jobs, they all stood in place and persevered.
Bang!
In the end, a few people couldn't hold on and fell headlong on the floor tiles.
The others were stunned, when did the county lord's aura become so full?
Fortunately, after two pillars of incense, several figures finally came to the door of the lobby in a hurry.
It was the county officer, the county lieutenant and the inspector who appeared in front of everyone in a hurry with a few small officials.
Originally, they planned to give themselves a half-day vacation and come to the county government after noon to clean up the mess.
After all, almost all of the people in this county are from the four wealthy families, and it won't be in the way if they come late.
Unexpectedly, news suddenly came from within the clan, saying that Fang Yunchen was actually not dead again, and that Mr. Huo was also missing, so they hurriedly rolled to the county office to investigate the situation.
The three of them rushed over in a panic.
As soon as he walked into the lobby, he saw Fang Yunchen sitting on the Qilin Daily Chart with a majestic expression, his eyes slightly closed as if he was brewing some kind of emotion.
After making eye contact, the three of them quietly walked in and stood at the front of the crowd.
