After getting off work, I coded words for a few hours, and when I was tired, I changed my mind and wrote a structure of the three-level government of West Jinzhou, county, and county.

The reason why I did this is because I found that some readers were using the official system of the Eastern Han Dynasty to set the Western Jin Dynasty.

Maybe it's because the Three Kingdoms are more popular, and everyone knows more about the system at that time.

But I want to say that the official system of the Western Jin Dynasty is indeed the same as that of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but after all, it evolved from the Wei and Jin dynasties, and the changes are not small, so it is not appropriate to copy them in a rigid way.

Let's start at the county level.

1. The name of the chief officer

During the Cao Wei period, the counties ordered the rank of a thousand stones, the sixth grade; The county order is 600 stones, the seventh grade; The county magistrates ordered the prime minister, the ninth product.

During the Western Jin Dynasty, the counties ordered the rank of a thousand stones, the sixth grade; The county order is 600 stones, the seventh grade; The county magistrates ordered the prime minister, the eighth product.

"Beitang Book Banknote" 78 quotes the Jin order: "Thousands of households in the county have been up, and more than 500 prefectures and counties are all orders, and they are not satisfied with this." ”

The county is the country, and the one is the minister.

Therefore, there are three titles of the highest magistrate at the county level: chief, order, and minister.

2. Authority

The county order is in charge of a county, and the ministry is the most annoying.

Persuasion of agriculture, persuasion of education, litigation, tax collection and even military power, etc., are all decided by the county order, which is much greater than the power of the county order of other dynasties in later generations.

For example, in later dynasties, the county decrees of other dynasties did not have the right to execute prisoners. But the county magistrate of the Western Jin Dynasty "manipulated the handle of torture and killing...... Ling Chang not only did not wait for the shepherd to review the case, but also had the custom of killing prisoners in the soup. ”

For another example, the county orders of the Western Jin Dynasty also had military power, which was not possessed by the county orders of other dynasties.

"The position of the commander is all-encompassing in the county, and the military administration is no exception."

Some county orders will add the number of generals, which is an old tradition since the Three Kingdoms.

Lü Meng, with the Pingbei Commander Commander Guangde Chang, later worshiped the general, and led the Xunyang Order.

Qiao Zhiming, who appears in this book, was killed by General Kou when he was the county commander.

Southern Dynasty Song Shen Yuzhi, from the general Long Xiang, Wu Kangling.

Qi Xiao red axe of the Southern Dynasty, out of the Jianwei general, Qiantang order.

Liang Shen Yu of the Southern Dynasty, from the general of Jianwu and Yuyao Ling.

And so on, not to list them all.

To put it simply, in the Tang Dynasty, the authority of the county order was emasculated a lot. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, castration continued, and it was difficult for Baili Hou to live up to the truth, and the position of county commander was not valued by anyone in the Wei and Jin dynasties.

3. County adjutant

1. Cheng

Those who rank thousands of stones in the counties are the sixth grade, and the eighth rank of their Cheng and Wei;

Those who look 600 stone and below in the county order are all ninth grade.

At present, it can be verified that the Western Jin Dynasty is still a county, and the Book of Jin mentions: "Fan Guangwei Tangyi Lingcheng ......"

This was the last year of the Western Jin Dynasty.

It's hard to say whether there are counties in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Southern Song Dynasty "Song Zhi": "After (Jin), there was no restoration, only Jiankang had a prison." ”

2. Lieutenant

For official products, please refer to the above article.

There are two people in the large county, one person in the second county and one in the small county.

Luoyang placed six lieutenants.

After Jiangzuo, Jiankang also had six lieutenants, and by the sixth year of Emperor Xianhe (332) of the late Jin Dynasty, there were seven lieutenants, which has remained unchanged since then.

Seven lieutenants: Jiang Wei is in Sanshengzhu, West Wei is in the back lane of Yanxing Temple, East Wei is in the Mausoleum of Emperor Wu, South Wei is in Caoshi North, North Wei is in Chaogou Village, Left Wei is in Qingliuxi Gushou Bridge, and Right Wei is in Shashi.

3. Strategists

There are four officials in the county, who have no quality and are officials, but "they are not listed in the same category as the county officials' main book, but in a separate section with the county lieutenant." ”

The county officials (officials), county lieutenants (officials), and strategic officials (officials) are all the "superiors" of a county, and the county orders have no right to set themselves up.

Fourth, the county officials

1. Discipline and discipline

Gong Cao, Ting Peng (only the Western Jin Dynasty has it, the Eastern Jin Dynasty does not).

2. Sub-class

The main book, the history of the record, the history of the main record room, the history of the door, the book under the door, the cadre under the door, the downstream of the door, the chief of the door pavilion, the student under the door, the line under the door, etc., are not written out one by one.

3, Zhu Cao

Hu Cao, Fa Cao, Jin Cao, Cang Cao (may have been renamed Cang Supervisor in the Eastern Jin Dynasty), Thief Cao, Bing Cao, Prison Cao, Prison Xiaoshi, Prison Gate Pavilion Chief, Du Pavilion Chief, Post Officer, Persuading Farmers, School Officials Peng, etc., are not listed one by one.

All the above "subordinate officials" are all set up by the county order, and the court does not care.

These subordinates were all forced servants and had no pay.

"Jin Zhi", "Song Shu Xie Fangming Biography", "Xu Yu Biography", "Liang Shu Ancheng Wang Xiu Biography" and so on all mentioned that these officials were not paid, so that the assassin Shi and Taishou could not stand it, and the court begged for money for them, but was unsuccessful, and Liang Ancheng Wang "Jianfu Prefecture was a poor old single official, and more than 500 people were dismissed in one day", "the people were very happy".

Being a county official has become a kind of drudgery and has become "forced labor", probably because those who have oil and water have been forcibly occupied, and the rest have to pay for their own work.

5. Special positions

1. Lieutenants of Guan Gu Saidao, the ninth grade.

This will only be set up when the county is in a pass, and it will be under the control of the county order and there will be soldiers.

This is one of the proofs of the great power of the Western Jin County Order. At least in the Tang Dynasty, the county commanders had no authority to manage the passes such as the Sixth Shangguan and the Thirteenth Zhongguan of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, and they could not command the soldiers stationed here, let alone the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

2. The county joins the army

The county order is set at the time of the general's number.

Finish.

If you have time, you can write about the county and state level officials.
