Zhao Yunze came, and Cui Tong left.For the ordinary people of Shicheng County, it was not affected.Shicheng County is still the same Shicheng County.Zhao Yunze has been in Shicheng County for four days.On the first day, eat and drink, hello, hello, hello, everyone; On the second day, he handled the handover with Cui Tong; On the third day, he went to Lulong County to visit Pingzhou Acting Assassin Shi Cui Shi.Today, Zhao Yunze officially looked at the office.Shicheng County is too poor, and even the county government is dilapidated.The county government hall is also very cramped, and it is not as big as Zhao Yunze's house in Chang'an.Zhao Yunze sat behind the public case.This case is a low table, and the seat is also a cushion, which makes Zhao Yunze, who is used to tall furniture, very uncomfortable.In Chang'an, it has been popular to open tall furniture in the past two years.Not only have the office furniture of the yamen been replaced, but even the people who are a little more affluent in the market will at least get a set of high-legged furniture for hospitality to fill the façade.Not to mention the rich families.Alas, this was not good in ancient times, and the transmission of information was too slow.Hebei is far away from Chang'an, and there is not a single piece of this tall furniture.Tomorrow, I will find a few craftsmen to change the furniture of this county government first.Zhao Yunze had this thought.Under Zhao Yunze, on the left is the location of the county Chengfang's relic, and on the right is the location of the county lieutenant Chen Zhao and the chief bookkeeper Deng Ye.County Lieutenant Chen Zhao, whose name is Liangqiong, is twenty-eight years old, with a slightly dark face and a slightly short stature, but he is very stocky.The county lieutenant assigned a county to the cao, in charge of public security, and the responsibility of urging taxes.The rank of lieutenant of the lower county is from the ninth grade.This is also the lowest-grade imperial court official.The main bookkeeper Deng Ye, the word Huiran, is thirty-two years old.He was a white-faced scribe.There are three strands of goatee under the chin, which is very smoothly trimmed.The main bookkeeper is in charge of a county clerk's book.The main book of the lower county is also an official from the ninth grade.In the past, in Shicheng County, the post of county was vacant, and Deng Ye was also in charge.After Fang Zhi came, he could only be the master bookkeeper's own worker.Below, the people standing and gathering in the hall at this moment are the officials and servants of the county government.There are nearly 100 people.Packed a small main hall.Separate details: one person each of the seven Cao directors such as Si Gong, Si Cang, Si Hu, Si Tian, Si Bing, Judicial, and Si Shi; There is one person in each of the three classes of the city order, the post cheng, the history of the medical divination, the literary discipline, the prison code, and the three classes of the standing class soap li, the fast hand of the capture class, and the strong class of the people.Next, there are the subordinates who belong to the above officials, as well as the miscellaneous servants who are responsible for the logistics services of the county government.Seeing so many people gathered in the main hall, Zhao Yunze was a little surprised.The registered population of Shicheng County is only 982 households, and there are so many people who eat public meals in the county government.If it were averaged, wouldn't it be that a family would have to raise a public servant?
Not to mention that the countryside also needs to be governed by officials, the countryside in this era is usually managed by clan autonomy, and those township and Li Zheng do not need to be supported by the court at all.It's no wonder that when he handed over to Cui Tong that day, there were mice running in the warehouse.With so many people, just eating has made Shicheng County poor.Everyone met Zhao Yunze, the new magistrate, and waited for Zhao Yunze to speak."
Ladies and gentlemen, a newcomer can be described as a black eye for Shicheng County.In the future, it depends on you to be in a lot.I also hope that you will work diligently and contribute more to this county. ”Zhao Yunze said with a smile.When everyone saw Zhao Yunze's smile and heard what Zhao Yunze said, they were all relieved.This lord doesn't seem to be difficult to serve.You are the county master, and you actually want us to carry you, isn't this putting the cart before the horse.Okay, your old man's attitude is very good, "Don't worry, adults, whatever you say, we will do it."
If you don't understand something, just ask us.We must be in a state of flux, what do you say?"
said a strong man, grinning."
Second Li, you don't pretend to be a literati anymore.That idiom is called knowing everything," county lieutenant Chen Zhao scolded with a smile."
Yes, yes, yes, know everything, know everything."
Li Lao Er scratched his head and said embarrassedly.The crowd laughed.Chen Zhao said to Zhao Yunze again: "Lord Zhao, this is Li Kui, the leader of the capture class, and he is a rough man.Don't be like him. ”Li Kui's black whirlwind Well, his figure is a bit similar, and his beard is also similar, but how is this face red-faced, this is a combination of Zhang Sanye and Guan Erye."
Haha, Li Bantou is quick to talk, this personality is straightforward, I like it," Zhao Yunze said with a smile."
My lord, I have a mother-in-law."
Li Kui said immediately.Zhao Yunze: ""Second Li, close your beak in front of the adult, don't make a mistake" Chen Zhao reprimanded Li Kuilai.He is Li Kui's superior, and his reprimand is very sincere.Li Kui smiled and stopped talking.Zhao Yunze smiled and said, "Today is the first official meeting with you, and there is nothing superfluous to tell you."
Let's go back and do whatever we have to do. ”"No" everyone responded, and the commotion dispersed.Chen Zhao and Deng Ye did not leave with everyone."
Two, there is something I don't understand, and I hope you can teach you."
Zhao Yunze arched his hand at Chen Zhao and Deng Ye and said."
Your Excellency is welcome.I don't know what you're puzzled about," Deng Ye replied."
The population of Shicheng County is not large, why are there so many public servants in the county office?"
asked Zhao Yunze.Chen Zhao and Deng Ye glanced at each other, and Deng Ye replied: "My lord doesn't know, in Hebei, most of the officials and gentry are from the Boling Cui clan.Most of these public servants in the county government are also the servants of the Cui family.In the past, the county order of Shicheng County was Lord Cui Tong.The children of the Cui clan forced their servants into the yamen, and Lord Cui couldn't help but give face to the children of his own clan" Zhao Yunze suddenly realized, it turned out that these people who ate public meals were all related households" Are there officials and public servants from the Cui family" Fang Yizhi interjected at this time and asked.Chen Zhao replied: "Naturally, there is.I'm not from the Cui family.Among those dukes, there are also two or three out of ten who are not from the Cui family. ”"There are so many people, there are really so many things for them to do," Zhao Yunze asked."
Haha, since there are people, there is naturally something to do.It's a big deal, what one person can do, just do it for two people. ”Chen Zhao said with a smile.Zhao Yunze was relieved, and said, "Thank you two for your advice."
There is nothing important today, so let's go down and do things. ”Chen Zhao and Deng Ye got up and retired.As soon as the two of them reached the door of the main hall, Zhao Yunze suddenly shouted: "Wait" The two immediately stopped, turned around together and asked, "What else do you have to say?"
”"Master Deng, I bother you to send someone to send all the account books of Shicheng County to the inner hall.I'm going to take a look at it later. ”Deng Ye was stunned for a moment, and then arched his hand and said: "No" "Master Deng is at his own discretion."
County Lieutenant Chen, wait a minute, I still have something to ask you. ”Zhao Yunze said again.Deng Ye walked out of the main hall, and Chen Zhao walked to Zhao Yunze's side."
County Lieutenant Chen, you just said that you are not from the Cui family, so what about Master Deng" Zhao Yunze asked Chen Zhao.Chen Zhao said: "Although Master Deng's book is not surnamed Cui, he is a book that he reads in the school run by Cui's family.When he came out, he was also recommended by Cui's family. ”"Oh, I see.Lieutenant Chen, please. ”Chen Zhao walked out of the main hall.Zhao Yunze smiled bitterly at Fang Yizhi: "Brother Fang, I heard that there is no small county government, and seven or eight out of ten are all from the Cui family.You and I will not be able to walk this way in the future," "What are you going to do?"
asked Fang Zhizhi.Zhao Yunze thought for a while, narrowed his eyes and said, "Even if the county government is full of people from the Cui family, they will inevitably be divided into many small gangs.My method is very simple, it is nothing more than pulling one faction and fighting another.Also, I want to clear the personnel of the county government first", "I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with the personnel", "No matter how difficult it is, this matter must be done."
A bloated organization is definitely inefficient.I don't want to arrange something in the future, the people below are polite to each other, and you push me to let me.One monk carries water to eat, two monks carry water to eat, and three monks have no water to eat.This kind of thing can't appear in my temple":
