This kind of thing is easy to say and easy to do, but it is really difficult to say that it is difficult to do.

Because many officials are handed down from their ancestors, their connections are basically fixed.

In such a county office, if there is no one official left, it means that there are only generals and no soldiers, so how can they fight?

For the county order, it is equivalent to no one who has gone to the following to do specific things, does he have to do everything himself?

Even if he has subordinates to call, it may not be easy to do an errand!

This is the so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake.

No matter how powerful you are, you are also a foreigner, and these people have done some tricks and feet from it, and they have repeatedly stumbled on you, let alone Qingzhang when the time comes, I am afraid that you will not be able to do even the most basic errands.

Cheng Jingzhou is still very grateful to Ang Lee for telling him this, at least letting him know what the trickiest thing is at the moment.

In the evening, Cheng Jingzhou and Xie Rongzhao had dinner and went to the back garden to eat together, so they naturally talked about these officials.

"What are you going to do?"

"At present, the principals of each house are basically locals, although they are ungraded, but in the end they also have to rely on them to do things, so it is not good to directly cut them, but there are a few people who like to stir up trouble, I think you can move."

Li An said a lot to Cheng Jingzhou, including a head catcher surnamed Wang, the ancestor has been a fast catcher since his grandfather, and he was also a fast catcher when he was his father, but later died in the line of duty, and he also got some compensation from the county government, although the money is not much, but because of this glory, this Wang Xiaoer is in the county government is very popular.

Wang Xiaoer's grandfather is still alive, Wang Xiaoer took advantage of his father's absence of this matter, and entered the county government to do things, but he can't be that kind of soap official, that is to say, he can't enter the establishment, so he became a catcher.

Later, this Wang Xiaoer made some money, and invited the county magistrate and the county lieutenant at that time to have two meals of wine, and then he made a small catcher.

Of course, there is not only one head catcher, but the most headache at first glance is this Wang Xiaoer.

The county government is commonly known as the 'third class'.

The first is, of course, to sit on duty, and the duty is to guard the county government, and the county is to stand in the hall, report the matter, and walk the cane when the county sits in the court to try the case.

Although there is no grade, it is the existence of an organization, and it is also the most formal kind.

This group of people all have a uniform issued by the imperial court, and their monthly silver is also the highest among all the officials, which is not as good as the head of the six houses, after all, people eat with a pen.

The second is to arrest the fast hand, the task is to arrest criminals, wanted fugitives, investigate and collect evidence, escort prisoners, etc., and this group of people, the requirements for physical fitness will be higher, after all, they are going to hunt down key criminals.

Generally speaking, the direct superiors of these people are county lieutenants, not county commanders.

Therefore, Cheng Jingzhou didn't plan to do anything directly to this group of people at the beginning, but also wanted to see the ability of the two county lieutenants.

But unfortunately, one of the county lieutenants happened to be locals, and he learned from Li An that the county lieutenant had a good relationship with Wang Xiaoer, otherwise, he would not have been mentioned as the head catcher at the beginning.

As for the third strong class Minzhuang, they are mainly responsible for guarding the prison and maintaining law and order, although the manpower is not much, but it is also considered fat, but anyone who gives food and clothing to the people in the prison must pass their pass, and they must receive some benefits.

As for others, there are also doormen, entourage, jailers, executioners, palanquins, kuding, soldiers, servants, salt differences, grain differences, official media, and so on.

But there was also a group of white servants who followed the errand to do things.

To put it bluntly, it's the people who help with the work.

These people have neither establishment nor income, and can only get a meager amount of silver for work and food, generally only a dozen taels of silver per year, and can only barely support the husband and wife with this money alone.

The so-called white servants, in fact, usually have nothing to do, just waiting not far from the yamen, and when there is any important errand, such as the start of collecting taxes and grain, or some official documents to be issued to various towns and villages, these people will follow and work hard.

In this way, these people can also eat together, and they can be regarded as having some friendship with the people in the yamen, and when they talk to the villagers and neighbors outside, they also feel that they have face on their faces.

After all, ordinary farmers can earn less than a dozen taels of silver a year.

According to the law of the Great Rule, officials and officials generally do not go out of the yamen when they have nothing to do, so as not to disturb the people.

And even if they have to go out, as long as it is not official business, they will be asked to wear civilian clothes, and try not to cause panic among the people.

Cheng Jingzhou was not in a hurry to start clearing, nor did he pay attention to some of the various regulations sent by Liufang to deliberately embarrass him, and began to wonder if he could promote one or two capable catchers among the white servants.

If you want to say that these white servants have been mixed with the officials for a long time, then walking outside is also a bit of face, at least in the village, even the village chief has to be respected.

Cheng Jingzhou was not in a hurry, and all the officials below were also waiting, there was no need to inquire deliberately, they all knew who this new county magistrate was, but after the shock and fear at the beginning, they actually had a little bit of such a mentality.

Cheng Jingzhou is handsome, anyone who sees it will praise a gentleman, and he is only about to be a weak crown now, so those people will subconsciously think of a sentence: There is no hair on the mouth, and the work is not firm!

Moreover, Cheng County's order has been coming for a few days, and there has been no major movement, and there are no three fires for the new official to take office that everyone was worried about at the beginning, and now, everyone is even more relaxed.

even faintly looked down on the newcomer Cheng County.

Cheng Jingzhou was naturally aware of this, but he still didn't do anything, but happened to find an opportunity to call a man outside the door in for questioning.

Cheng Jingzhou will not call a person to come in for no reason to question, the one who was called in is called Song Daring, it is said that he is a bold thief, not only dares to keep vigil in the mourning hall alone, but also has lived in Yizhuang, a well-known thief bold!

Song Daring is not very old, but he was born poor, otherwise he would not go to Yizhuang to make a living, and later found a way to do white labor, squatting outside the yamen every day for the past few days, just waiting for a job to send them.

After Cheng Jingzhou asked him his name and place of origin, he asked him which head catcher or errand officer he was most familiar with.

Although Song Daring is notoriously bold, he is still weak in his heart when facing the real official master, and naturally he said everything he knew.

Cheng Jingzhou knew the voices of many officials today.

Dare to wait for him to make trouble, and then take the opportunity to make a wave?

Oh, think beautifully! (End of chapter)
