At five o'clock, the morning light was faint. With the sound of clattering horses' hooves, Dong Yi and his party of 11 horses appeared at the north gate of Luo County.

(The familiar quarter hour = 15 minutes, that is, 1 hour = 8 quarters, a day and night 96 minutes, is a time system promulgated by the Qing court after the introduction of Western clocks and hours and a large number of applications.)

In the Han Dynasty, the 12-hour system and the 100-hour system were parallel, and 1 hour corresponded to 8 major and 2 small quarters, which was more troublesome to express.

For the sake of conciseness and clarity, the time system in this article defaults to the 12 hours and 96 engravings, rather than the 100 engraving system of the Han Dynasty. It is hereby clarified that it will not be repeated later. )

The stars of the district leaned over in unison and greeted him deeply: "Good morning Ming Ting, good morning to all the chiefs." After the ceremony, Ou Xing led everyone to the city gate and led the horses for the bigwigs.

Maybe it was because the business wine in Kou's Dock was relatively good last time, but this time, Dong Yi didn't pretend to be composing. He stepped on the stirrup on one side, turned over and dismounted, and nodded back to Ou Xing, who was pulling the reins.

"Good morning, O Gongzi."

"The stars are terrified. The mountain village husband, slang and shallow, An Neng pretended to be a son in front of the Ming Court and the chiefs. The princes called the district star directly. ”

After greeting Dong Yi politely, Ou Xing greeted the leadership team of Luo County one by one.

Dong Yi is a wonderful person.

Safari by the lake, it was a local tyrant who wanted to flatter him.

Dong Yi had an idea, it was better to be happy alone than to be happy, and took advantage of the opportunity of others to entertain him, and simply brought all the officials and subordinates of Luo County to a leadership team building.

It belongs to one dish and two eats.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. The small world of Luoxian County is now in a dynamic balance of love and killing among the three forces.

The party led by the faction is the airborne power faction headed by Dong Yi.

This faction included Dong Yi, the commander of Qianshi County, who had the highest authority over all government affairs in the county, and could remove or remove the officials of Pengshi.

The chief secretary of the county of 200 stones, that is, the chief secretary of the county order, Dong Ping - he participates in confidential and consul general affairs. In line with the principle of having a secretary to do something, Dong Ping stayed in the county office today.

and Dong Yi's entourage, mainly Dong Yi's old department when he served as a Zhonglang in the Xiliang Army in the past. At present, they are temporarily serving as the doormen and personal staff of the county order, and there are no officials without posts.

However, these people are all looking for progress. Among the safari teams of the county government today, three of them are Dong Yi's old subordinates.

The force in the middle is the Zuo Erguan faction, which is also appointed by the imperial court and has official rank and power lower than that of the county order, but does not belong to the subordinate officials of the county order.

This faction includes Liu Yi, the executive deputy county magistrate, who is responsible for assisting the county magistrate, signing documents, and guarding the warehouse and prison, and can handle relevant government affairs independently.

This filial piety was born, assisted the previous county magistrate, and during the period when the previous county magistrate left office and Dong Yi did not take office, he was in charge of the affairs of Luo County, and he had many disagreements with Dong Yi on large and small affairs.

The four hundred stone county lieutenants, namely the deputy county commander and the director of the county public security bureau, and the head of the county people's armed forces department, Cheng Ren and Tao Han, were responsible for patrolling the county border, chasing down thieves, supervising the guards of service, and the levy of conscription, and had separate officials and subordinates.

The attitude of these two chiefs and Liu Kangdong is not firm. At present, Dong Yi is actively carrying out public relations work against them.

The three second officials are all in the safari team of the county government today.

The party that laid the foundation was the local wealthy faction with the officials of Peng Shi as the agent of interests.

This faction consisted of Kou Zheng, the assistant to the county magistrate and director of the Finance Bureau, who could exercise his authority on behalf of the county magistrate, commanding the guerrilla and pavilion chiefs under the jurisdiction of the county, and was also in charge of the financial affairs of the county government, such as cashiers and grains.

Than 200 Shi Tingpeng Liu Shen - he is in charge of the ancestral services of a county, and also supervises the subordinate townships of the county, similar to the county's superintendent post.

Than 200 stone records of the office Shi Luozheng - he is responsible for recording documents and supervising the meeting.

These three Peng Shi are all in the safari team of the county government today.

The rest of the Pengshi officials who did not participate in today's safari of Baishi, Bibaishi and fighting food, as well as Hu Cao, Tian Cao, Shui Cao, Jiang Zuo Peng, Cang Cao, Jin Cao, Ji Cao, Fa Cao, Postal Book Peng, Daoqiao Peng, Stable Husband, Bing Cao, Ku Qifu, Wei Cao, Thief Cao, Prison Peng Shi, Gate Waiting Officials, Shoujin Officials, City Peng, County Sacrificial Wine, County Council Cao, School Officials and other positions totaling more than 400 people.

Among the more than 400 people, the surname Kou accounts for about 40%, the surname Liu accounts for about 20%, the surname Luo accounts for about 20%, and the rest of the surnames account for 20%.

The Luo Hou Kou clan, the Liu clan, the distant branch of the clan, and the Luo clan, the remnants of the Luo Ziguo, controlled the vast majority of the positions of the historical officials in Luo County, and strongly dominated the township society in Luo County.

However, because the county order has the power to remove or dismiss the subordinate officials of Pengshi, and at the same time, based on the common concept of dual monarchy in the hearts of scholars in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, there is a substantial relationship between Dong Yi and the subordinate officials of the county government and Pengshi.

This makes the relationship between the airborne powerful faction and the local wealthy faction very complicated and delicate.

……

"Ming Ting, please."

"Gongchen, please."

"Don't dare. Xing Yijie Bai Ding, An dared to compete with the Ming Court. ”

After another set of resignations and three concessions, Dong Yi knocked his heel on the horse's belly, shook the reins, and set off on the horse.

"Chiefs, please."

The leaders of Luo County are half a horse's head behind Dong Yi, and Ou Xing is half a horse's head behind the leaders, the three relatives of the Ou Le team and Dong Yi are in front of the road, and the Ou Kang team is winged on both sides, and the safari team is heading towards Yunmeng Daze.

"Drive!"

"One for each of them. Two people in Weida County, one person in a small county" - "Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Hundred Official Chronicles"
