Chapter 804: Six rooms and four classes
In addition to the official officials who have a formal establishment, such as the county magistrate, the county magistrate, the canonical history, the main book, the patrol inspection, the post officer, and the gate official, there are also 'six rooms and four classes'.
'Six rooms' are the six rooms of officials, households, ceremonies, soldiers, criminals, and workers, and each room is set up with a scribe in charge, which is called 'secretary's room clerk' and 'household room secretary'...... They are responsible for specific office affairs in the prefecture.
The 'four classes' are the government service teams, which are specifically divided into: soap class, allegro, people's strong, and capture class.
The 'soap class' is composed of black-clad errands, whose main duty is to be the precursor guard when the magistrate travels, and they are the ones who ring gongs and shout trumpets and shout idlers to avoid.
In addition, when the magistrate of the county is trying the case, the soap class has to stand on both sides of the hall, and its duty is to carry out all kinds of coerced confessions and tortures, and they shout 'mighty' at the top of their voices.
The functions of the soap class are similar to those 'Han generals' and 'ruling Jinwu' in the Jinyi Guard Honor Guard.
You don't need to have any skills, as long as you are burly and good-looking, it is mainly used to shout and cheer for the faΓ§ade.
Their leader is called the 'squad leader', and it is usually filled by people around the magistrate, although he has no power, but he is the head of the fourth class.
The 'fast class' is divided into 'horse fast' and 'foot fast', and it is also responsible for patrolling, communication and reporting, escorting prisoners, and often being sent to the countryside to collect taxes.
Their leader called it 'Dutou', which was the errand that Wu Song did.
'Minzhuang' is a strong man recruited from the people, and after a certain amount of training, he is often sent to guard granaries, silver vaults, prisons, or to escort officials and officials.
In wartime, these people also participated in guarding the city, or used as a reserve army, and the 200 so-called city defense teams that Chen Ping just mentioned were actually 'people strong', and they belonged to temporary institutions.
Therefore, it is generally said that 'three classes of officials' are selectively ignored.
There is also the 'arresting class', their main responsibility is to handle cases, arrest thieves, and manage the security in the county, the head of the arresting squad is the so-called 'head catcher', and they have the greatest power in the four classes, and the head catcher is generally a person who is more trusted by the county lord.
"Well, you make a list, and count the detailed amount of money owed to you over the years, and I will always send it to you." Baili Road.
"Not really!" Chen Ping's happy snot bubbles were about to pop up.
"The official has no jokes." Baili Road.
When the news came out, was the entire yamen boiling? The big guy ran to tell each other, so that he burst into tears, my god grandpa, you have finally opened your eyes!
There was even a scribe who fainted directly because he was so happy!
But it's a little too early for the big guys to rejoice......
Chen Ping knew that the big guy was in a hurry, so he calculated the amount of money owed over the years overnight, and reported it early the next morning.
But the salary is the salary, why is the lobby empty? Shouldn't there be a few big silver boxes or something?
The lid of the box had to be left wide open, and the silver and copper coins inside were piled up, so it was so refreshing to look at it!
"Inspect Chen Ping, the annual salary is 18 taels of silver, the charcoal and ice are 6 taels and 7 yuan of silver, and the arrears are four years and 17 months, and a total of 118 taels and 8 ......yuan will be repaid," a scribe read aloud while holding the account book.
"Here, here, here!" Chen Ping stepped out of the ranks, raised his hand high, imagined the heavy feeling of holding more than a hundred taels of silver in his hand, and brought it back and threw it on the face of the dead mother-in-law, and saw if she dared to stab me? Your man is also the official who receives the imperial court's salary, don't forget!
Then there was no heavy feeling, but it was a fluttering stack...... Paper money?
The smile instantly condensed on his face, and he couldn't cry or laugh for a while.
"What's wrong, Lord Chen?" Baili still wondered, shouldn't your Chen Ping's correct reaction be joyless or crying with joy? What kind of expression is this that doesn't cry or laugh? Could it be ...... "Why is the number wrong?" β
"The number is right......" Chen Ping said with a sad face, "But master, isn't this silver?" β
Why don't you just find a piece of paper and draw a number to use it as silver? That's not what paper money is? I have to use it to fool the dead ghosts, I'm a big living person, my lord!
"Oh, this is the banknote issued by our Yanyun County Xiao Ji Ticket Number, which is equivalent to silver." Baili Qingyun explained, "This road is long, and it is difficult for me to walk with too much silver. β
Equivalent? Are you sure!
If I take this thing and go shopping with someone and get beaten up, who is it?
This was actually a small mistake by Baili, when he came out, Xiao Chen deliberately told him to carry cash.
Because the banknotes of Xiao Ji have only been issued for more than a year, and they have not been circulated in our entire Yanyun County, only Changshan Prefecture, Shunfeng City, Bailong Prefecture and other large state cities are recognized.
But Baili feels that it is a burden to travel with too much silver, anyway, this kind of banknote will be circulated sooner or later, right?
And at present, many people from the northern Xinjiang tribe also recognize this, Xuan Ming is located on the border of northern Xinjiang, and if you do business with the tribesmen, it is more convenient and safe to use paper money......
"If the old man gives us these paper money, then I don't have to send it anymore, and we don't dare to receive it!" A tall and burly man spoke like a bell and said what was on the minds of everyone present.
His name is Chu Dapeng, he is the head catcher of the fishing class, he has a strong personality, a great temper, and he doesn't rub sand in his eyes, so naturally he can't see Baili fooling people with this kind of paper money!
The big guy who hurt was happy in vain.
"Why?" Baili was stunned, "I said that these banknotes can be used as silver." β
"Be a messenger of silver, but it's not silver!" Chu Dapeng said loudly, "The villain is not talented, and he has never seen paper money used as silver after living for more than thirty years!" Sir, aren't you bluffing? β
"Uh......" Baili Qingyun was not angry, but secretly regretted not listening to Xiao Chen's words, it turned out that this place really did not recognize paper money, listening to the meaning of their words, he may not have seen it.
I blame myself, but I don't blame them.
"I came here this time to bring some food and supplies, all of which have been inspected and put into storage, some of these food and materials cannot be moved by military rations, and some of them are for our Xuanming people, but they are not relief, they all have to be sold according to our Yanyun official price...... The warehouse official is here, right? As soon as Baili sighed, he had a plan.
"The villain is here!" Li Hanwen, a warehouse official, went out of class to obey orders.
"You find a shop next to our county office, and open it to sell grain today, you know all the official prices of Yanyun, right? That's good, but remember to calibrate the grain hopper, not a single bit! In addition, there are some cotton cloth, sugar, non-staple food, ironware, needlework, tools and other items are also sold at a fixed price. "Hundred miles of life.
