According to the ancient official system, the head catcher cannot actually be regarded as an official, but should be called an official, and belong to the auxiliary officials of the county officials.

Officials and officials are two different concepts.

In the domain of a county, there are only four real officials in total.

They are county orders, county officials, in charge of all power, and the official quality is not low, even if it is the lowest level of the lower county, the county order grade is also in the seventh grade.

The second is the county Cheng, the second-in-command of the county government, and his power is also not small, and he can receive the imperial court.

Secondly, there is the county lieutenant, which is the official position in charge of the armed forces, and belongs to the third position in the county.

The last one is the teaching, which is responsible for the affairs of the county's scholars, as well as the enlightenment of the people. [Equivalent to the boss of the Education Bureau]

The above are the four giants of the county government, and the situation is the same everywhere in the world. In addition to these four giants, other yamen positions can only be called officials.

But there is also a difference between a clerk and a magistrate.

For example, an ordinary scribe, who is really a pure clerk and does not have much power in his hands, is similar to the ordinary clerks of various institutions in later generations.

The head catcher is different, it belongs to half an official, not only has the official certificate issued by the imperial court, but also receives a monthly salary.

Therefore, it can barely be regarded as an official.

Although it is barely an official, it can only be regarded as half, so the treatment of the head catcher is a little low.

It's embarrassing!

For example, the office location, it can be seen that the four giants of the county government have their own independent public housing, but the head catcher can only work in the class room with the officials.

To put it bluntly, you don't enjoy the treatment of a separate office.

Zhang Jingxu, as the head of the county government, must not have a separate public house according to the regulations, but needs to go to the class room and hang out with a group of yamen.

However, there is an interesting thing in officialdom since ancient times, or rather, an interesting situation.

What is it?

Reuse, special treatment.

Your level can't reach a certain treatment, but Shangguan can find an excuse for you, as for what this excuse is, a special reuse is enough to solve it.

For example, Zhang Jingxu just said goodbye from the county ya's back house, and after entering the county ya's middle courtyard, he was ready to find the location of the class room.

The middle courtyard of the county government is an office area, with more than a dozen wings of different sizes, not only the public houses of the four giants, but also the class rooms of the scribes and officials.

Since the officials all knew that Zhang Jingxu would come to meet the county order today, they were all waiting quietly in the middle courtyard at this time, and when they saw Zhang Jingxu coming out of the backyard, several officials immediately waved eagerly.

From afar, he shouted: "Zhang Zhutou, here, here, our class room is here." We're waiting for you to familiarize you with the environment. ”

Regardless of ancient or modern, the officialdom ecology is the same, and the boss will definitely be eager to perform on the first day of work.

A gentle smile appeared on Zhang Jingxu's face, and he was about to walk over to talk to the officials. By the way, find out where the class room is, and familiarize yourself with the place where you will be on an errand in the future.

However, at this moment.

After the county order appeared, he did not enter the middle courtyard, but stood at the junction of the house, and commanded the middle court from a distance:

"Zhang Zhutou went on a business trip for the first time today, you must contact each other well, they are all colleagues of the county government, don't be unfamiliar. If you let the official hear something bad, don't blame it for embarrassing some people at that time......"

The tone of these words was obviously aimed at everyone in the entire Intermediate Court.

Those officials were stunned for a moment, and then they all looked surprised, obviously they never expected that the county magistrate would specifically support the head catcher.

What does this mean?

It shows that Zhang Zhutou's foundation is deep.

The county order personally supports him, this treatment is not trivial, only this one statement, Zhang Zhutou's life in the county government will be smooth in the future.

And these servants are all Zhang Zhutou's subordinates, and the life of their own boss is smooth, doesn't it mean that they are also stained?

At the thought of this, the officials were all excited.

At the same time, figures appeared at the doors of each wing of the middle courtyard, obviously because of the gesture of the county order, which had made everyone pay attention to Zhang Jingxu.

Even the three officials, the county magistrate, the county lieutenant, and the priest, have already walked out of their public houses in person.

The county magistrate came to support him, and they had to give the new head a face.

This headcatcher is not ordinary.

This is the first impression of everyone in the county government.

But what everyone else didn't expect was that the county order followed up and ordered one thing loudly: "Wait a minute, Zhang Zhutou has the official certificate stamped by the ministry, so his identity is an official, and he does not belong to an ordinary official......"

"Since Zhang Zhutou is an official, he should have his own separate public house!"

"The wing room on the left side of the public house used by the county order, you will help clean it up as soon as possible, and from today onwards, it will be allocated to Zhang Zhutou for use."

"In addition, Wang Xiancheng worked hard, helped to find a flexible scribe, assigned Zhang Zhutou to listen to it, and served him with tea and water and other mundane chores."

"Finally, the county decree also instructed one thing, because Zhang Zhutou's village lives outside the city, it is inconvenient to travel to and from the county government every day, so the county government should give a ...... to solve the housing problem."

"The best house on the main street in the city, you help find the best one, buy it, the money will be paid by the county government, and then buy some furniture and buy a slave or two."

"After this thing is done, the county order will take you all to celebrate Zhang Zhutou, hahahaha, let's go drink his settled warm pot wine!"

Wow!

The entire courtyard was in an uproar.

Good guys, amazing!

What is the number of this new headcatcher?

The county magistrate not only personally supported him, but also made all kinds of preferential treatment.

First of all, there is a separate public house, which is directly selected to the left of the prefectural public house.

The second is to let Wang Xiancheng personally manage it and choose a flexible scribe for this head catcher. The so-called listening to use is actually transfer, and from then on, this scribe is the private scribe who belongs to Zhang Zhutou.

If a modern officialdom hears it, they immediately know that this is a situation of allocating a dedicated secretary. And the level of a dedicated secretary is not an idle job without authority or position.

In addition to the dedicated public housing and scribes, even the residence was also solved.

Good guys, it has to be a house in the middle of the city, and besides, you have to choose the best one.

Not only did they have to buy furniture, but they also had to buy slaves, and all the expenses and expenses incurred were borne by the county government......

Which kind of treatment should a headhunter enjoy?

This is clearly a specification that can only be achieved by the four giants of the county government.

The most amazing thing is that the county magistrate also personally led everyone in the county government to settle down for Zhang Zhutou and drink the wine of the new warm pot!

In the officialdom, there has never been a shortage of shrewd people, everyone is sure at the first time, and Zhang Jingxu must be treated seriously in the future.

But they never imagined that today's shock would not stop there......

I saw that after the county order said a few things, he seemed to be about to turn around and return to the back house, but suddenly turned around again, arched his hand towards Zhang Zhutou from a distance, and said with a smile: "The ancient book sent by Uncle Zhang, I must read it with my heart, if it is not read well, you will beat me and punish it!" ”

Airplanes!

Everyone was confused.

Uncle Zhang?

They heard it right, the county order shouted Uncle Zhang? And also said that he was grateful for the ancient books sent by Zhang Zhutou. And also said that you should read it attentively, and if you don't read it well, let it be punished by hitting the board?

Oh my God, what's the situation!

Who doesn't know the entire county government that the county magistrate hates reading the most. Ordinary books are still boring, let alone ancient books that are difficult to read?

As a result, after Zhang Zhutou gave a copy, the county magistrate solemnly said that he would read it by heart, and it was not easy to admit punishment if he read it.

Hiss!

Many took a deep breath of cold air.

This matter is extremely scary to think about.

This Zhang Zhutou is definitely not an ordinary person.

Unfortunately, they didn't have the opportunity to ask the prefectural magistrate. The reason is very simple, the county commander has already gone back to the back house after posing.

The only fortunate thing is that Zhang Zhutou is still in the middle courtyard, and he is smiling and looking at everyone.

At this time, the first to come forward and say hello is a performance.

saw a flash, and the first person to appear was Wang Xiancheng, as the second-in-command of the county government, no one dared to rush ahead of him.

This Wang Xiancheng is about thirty years old, and after stepping forward, he first bowed his hand, with a smile on his face like a spring breeze, and his tone was very eager, and he said directly: "Under is the county Cheng Wang Yun, and he saluted Zhang Zhutou......

After a slight pause, his tone began to climb: "I look at the age of Zhang Zhutou, it seems that he is a few years older than me." ”

Zhang Jing heard the string song and knew the meaning of the song, and said with a smile: "Zhang is fifty years old in Chinese New Year's Eve this year, I am afraid that he will be obsessed with how old the adult of Changxian County is." ”

Wang Xiancheng suddenly laughed, and changed his title skillfully and naturally: "Sure enough, how old am I, I should shout eldest brother, Brother Zhang, let's move around more in the future." ”

Zhang Jingxu also smiled very kindly, but his tone pretended to hesitate, and he made a mistake: "You are the head of a county, and Zhang is just a catcher...... I'm afraid the title of this big brother is a little inappropriate. ”

Wang Xiancheng's face suddenly turned pale, and he pretended to be dissatisfied: "The elder is a brother, it has always been like this, unless Brother Zhang looks down on me and is unwilling to recognize me as a little brother." ”

As a Shangguan, if Zhang Jingxu is vague again, it will be a bit embarrassing.

So Zhang Jing pretended to be helpless and arched his hand: "According to the meaning of the adult, we are commensurate with brothers in private." ”

Wang Xiancheng was very satisfied, and his smile added a bit of spring breeze.

He opened his mouth to change the topic, and said very naturally: "The county commander has an order, let me find a scribe for Brother Zhang to use, but I don't know what Brother Zhang wants, so that I can use it as a reference for selecting people." ”

Zhang Jingxu did not hesitate, and said directly: "The county lord is willing to help, Zhang has already felt guilty, I am from a humble background, and my personality is gentle and lazy, so there are no requirements for employment......"

Wang Xiancheng pondered for a while, and then said: "Then help Brother Zhang find a flexible one, and serve by your side in the future, how about it?" ”

Zhang Jing smiled and nodded, and said, "Everything is handled by the county Cheng, and Zhang thanked him again." ”

Speaking of which, it should basically be regarded as the end of the first intersection, especially Wang Xiancheng is an old oilman, and he knows that if he continues to talk, he will block the opportunity of others, so he shook his hand and said goodbye with a smile: "If Brother Zhang is free, you can come to my public room to drink tea and chat." ”

Zhang Jingxu immediately agreed, and said solemnly: "I definitely want to go and see you!" ”

The honorifics used by both sides are flawless in terms of etiquette.

Wang Xiancheng paced with a smile, and slowly returned to his public house, he had already completed the friendship, and he should leave the opportunity to others.

Sure enough, as soon as he left, there was a flash of figure immediately, and the county lieutenant strode over, and he directly hugged his fists and saluted.

"Uncle Zhang, my name is Yun Heng, and the county magistrate is my cousin, and he took me to Yicheng to take up his post."

"Now, I am the county lieutenant."

"If Uncle Zhang uses me in the future, let people say hello at will. There are a total of 200 soldiers in our county, and they can follow Uncle Zhang at the sound of an order. ”

is worthy of being an official in charge of the armed forces, and his words and actions are crisp and concise.

In just one introduction, it explains all the situation.

First of all, he was the cousin of the county order, and he followed him to Yicheng to take up his post together.

Secondly, explain your official position and tell you how many soldiers you have.

Once again, these soldiers are very obedient, and they can be called at any time as long as Zhang Jingxu needs them.

With this introduction alone, Zhang Jingxu can clearly know that this county lieutenant is a descendant of the county order, and he will be the same faction as Zhang Jingxu in the future.

Own!

For his own people, Zhang Jingxu is another gesture, he nodded cordially, but his tone was formal: "The county lieutenant must not see outside, let's move around more in the future, I am the head of the county government, and it is reasonable to belong to your direct subordinates, if you encounter difficulties when you run an errand, you will have to trouble you a lot." ”

County Lieutenant Yunheng nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I know it in my heart." ”

After saying that, he simply said goodbye and left.

The more you are your own people, the less you need to be too close, you know each other, and you don't have to pretend to be a gesture.

Next, it should be the priest who came to say hello, but Zhang Jingxu waited left and right, and never saw the fourth in command of the county government appear.

There must be a reason why it should not come.

If something goes wrong, you must pay attention.

Zhang Jingxu faintly felt that this edict was afraid that it was someone who did not belong to the county government. Otherwise, how could you not sell the county order to come and say hello.

If you dare not give face to the county order within a county, there will inevitably be someone who is not weaker than the county order standing behind you.

And in the entire Yicheng County, there is only one such official position, that is, the priest of the Divine Dependent's Mansion.

This edict may have something to do with the Divine Mansion.

Zhang Jingxu secretly paid attention to this situation and kept this situation in mind, and then he was going to investigate the matter of the continuous dead people outside the city, and he must not let this edict cause bad things.

It is very important to earn merit, and no one can stand in the way.
