Cheng Jingzhou naturally knew that there would be difficulties, so he was not surprised that his subordinates said so.

And when he first arrived, the first thing he did was not to think about how to do a good job, but how to subdue these officials first.

Now Xie Xiuqi is the county magistrate of this county, and he has been here for a few months, so he is relatively familiar with the personnel here, and the county lieutenant here is also his old acquaintance, so he doesn't find it difficult.

"Each homeowner will sort out this year's important tasks in advance, and the official should also look at the ability of your homeowners, you know the background of the official, so don't coax the previous county order to coax the official, it's not good!"

This can be regarded as a reminder to them first, don't really let him rectify it when the time comes, at that time, don't say anything about losing this bowl of official food, I'm afraid that my reputation will be ruined.

In the entire county office, in addition to Cheng Jingzhou, the county order of the sixth grade, it is the county magistrate, the master bookkeeper and the county lieutenant of the eighth grade.

Among them, this county lieutenant is half a level lower than the county lieutenant, even if it is of the same grade, there is also a difference between upper and lower.

In addition to the few of them, there is also a city magistrate from Jiupin, that is, the chief official who is responsible for regulating the market or the street of shops.

is full of calculations, and there are only a few officials and masters in this county government who have official grades, and as for the fast catching at the bottom, it is not even considered to be outside the stream.

Because Feng County belongs to Jingzhao Mansion, but it is not Jing County, there are only two county captains, while in Jing County, there are six county captains, one lieutenant in charge and one Cao.

In comparison, the official structure of Feng County is much simpler, at least, it can make Cheng Jingzhou remember all the officials and officials who can do things under him in a simple hour.

The county lieutenant is in charge of the military of a county, and if there are homeless people and bandits, etc., the county lieutenant must supervise it.

The office of the county lieutenant is not in the county office, but on the side of the county office.

Because the grade of the county lieutenant is too low, he has no right to open the house, so the office is called the public office, and because the public office and the county government are also connected, but the door is opened separately.

Usually, if there are any trivial and small cases, they are usually solved by the county lieutenant, and they can't go to the county order at all.

Feng County has two county lieutenants, one of whom is in charge of the military mage, and the office is the West Hall; One person is in charge of the household warehouse, and the office is the east hall. Its main functions are judicial arrest of theft, trial of cases, judgment documents, collection of taxes, etc.

Strictly speaking, this Lord Li An, who is in charge of Tokura, has more power than the other.

Cheng Jingzhou only took one day to roughly understand his new environment.

Among these two county lieutenants, one of them is regarded as his fellow subject, named Li An, but because he only won the same jinshi this time, and there is no special way, he had to spend a hundred taels of silver to be a county lieutenant from Jiupin.

Don't look at the fact that although this county lieutenant is the lowest grade, his rights are not small, and according to the law of great governance, the position of county lieutenant must be born as a scholar.

Li An is now a county lieutenant, and he can be regarded as an official at all, and his family no longer has to go to great lengths to raise money for him to study, which is already a great blessing.

"Brother Li An, there are no outsiders here, you and I are still called brothers."

"The lower officials don't dare."

Li An knew that Cheng Jingzhou was born as a champion, and his father-in-law was the famous Xie Shangshu, so no matter what, he didn't dare to make a mistake.

What's more, there is so much difference between him and Cheng Jingzhou, he really doesn't dare to climb high.

"Why is Brother Li so polite? But look down on the little brother? ”

Li An's body stiffened slightly when he heard this, so he had to sit down hard.

"I know that Brother Li was originally from the capital, but there was no one at home to pave the way, and now he has to become a petty official, but although the position of the county lieutenant is low, the responsibilities are quite heavy. Thanks to the saint's refusal to give up, he sent me here as an official, also to let us work together to serve the imperial court. ”

Li An could naturally hear the deep meaning of his words.

"Master Cheng, rest assured, the lower officials will definitely cooperate with you. But whatever is within the duties of the lower officials, the lower officials will definitely not let you worry about it. ”

The implication is that I can't do anything beyond my ability.

Cheng Jingzhou smiled, it was already good to be like this.

"Xie Xiancheng, Brother Li An should know each other, right?"

"Naturally, Xie County has been coming to Feng County for a while, although he has only confessed a few times, but Xie County's treatment of people is really admirable."

"It's not a secret, Xie Xiancheng is not an outsider, he is my wife's cousin, and he previously served as a recorder in Jingzhao Mansion, and he is very satisfied with the officials."

Li An was slightly stunned, he really didn't know that Xie Xiancheng had such a big background!

Xie Xiuqi has been in Feng County for several months, but he has always been diligent and low-key, and no one knows that he is Xie Shangshu's cousin?

"Xie Xiancheng didn't want people to think that he came by connection, so he didn't make a noise, and I hope that Brother Li An can also keep it secret for us."

"Definitely, definitely."

It's really that Fengxian is a little far away from the capital, and Xie Xiuqi himself doesn't like to show off outside, when he was doing things in Jingzhao Mansion earlier, he has been following the rules, and many people in Jingzhao Mansion don't know his relationship with Xie Xiuwen.

Because Xie Xiancheng's identity was exposed, Li An also had a little more confidence in this new county magistrate.

Li An even thought that Xie Xiancheng had arrived in Feng County a few months ago, could it be that Xie Shangshu had already made arrangements?

If this is the case, then the ability and foresight of this Lord Shangshu are really a little scary.

"I see that there are a lot of people on our county government's fast catchment list, but there are not so many people who have been in and out in the past two days."

Ang Lee knew that this tea was not so delicious, but now that he was on the boat, he still recognized it.

"Back to my lord, the catchers in the county are basically locals, some families have even done this line of work since their ancestors, and some have been passed down for generations, but because of this, some catchers will inevitably be perfunctory, and some even can't afford to catch fast at all."

This is also expected by Cheng Jingzhou.

Arresting fast is a kind of small official who is responsible for arresting criminals and bad guys, in fact, it is a servant, there is no grade, at most, he can receive a monthly money from the yamen.

They are generally from a relatively humble background, and they must have certain physical fitness requirements, and another point is that they are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, because the profession of catching fast is more humiliating in people's hearts, so there is a prohibition on taking the imperial examination, and the kind that cannot be participated in after retirement.

As for the head catcher, he is the leader who manages the fast catch, which sounds very majestic, but in fact, he has no grade, and he is the leader of a group of thugs.

Don't look at the lack of grade, and there is not much moon silver, but you really can't underestimate these catches.

After all, there is really something going on, and it is these officials who have to run errands, run errands, and deal with ordinary people.

Therefore, for Cheng Jingzhou at the moment, it is equivalent to his county master's arms and legs are not very easy to use? (End of chapter)
