Chapter 425 - City Entry Tax and Protection Fee (I)


The so-called three classes of officials are divided into soap classes, fishing classes, and strong classes.The soap class is also known as the station class soap li, which is responsible for the guard guard of the yamen and the standing hall when the county order is promoted to the court to ask the case, which is equivalent to the bailiff.Catching classes is also known as Kuaishou, which is commonly referred to as catching fast.Responsible for arresting and investigating thieves, investigating and handling cases, which is equivalent to a criminal policeman.Zhuang Ban, also known as Minzhuang, is responsible for guarding key places such as city gates, warehouses, and cells, which is equivalent to the militia.In the third class of servants, except for small leaders such as squad leaders and cell heads, who can barely squeeze into the ranks of officials, the rest of the departments can only be regarded as "servants", that is, temporary workers.The three classes of officials are all under the management of the county lieutenant.The county lieutenant met the secretary of the political and legal committee and the minister of armed forces in later generations.In the early Tang Dynasty, the military system was dominated by the government soldier system, and the local military forces were mostly government soldiers.The government soldiers are farmers in their leisure time and army in wartime.Set aside a certain amount of time each year to train intensively.The three classes of the county government are also mostly from the government soldiers.However, the treatment of the government servants is much stronger than that of the government soldiers.Even when the government soldiers were fighting, they needed to bring their own dry food, armor and weapons to the assembly site.In normal times, there is no special treatment, and there is no difference from ordinary people.However, once you become a servant, you can eat public meals.Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is also very desirable to be able to squeeze into the yamen as a servant.Some people say that in ancient times, government service was a lowly profession and was shameful.In fact, this is because they misunderstood the phrase "the car and boat shop has its feet, and the innocent should be killed".The word "tooth" is understood as the word "ya".Why do you say that "the feet and teeth of the car and ship shop should be killed if you are not guilty?"

because many people engaged in these five industries have the practice of oppressing customers, and even engaging in money and killing people.The "tooth" here refers to the tooth row.The so-called tooth shop is equivalent to an intermediary.The people of the tooth shop eat both ends, the most treacherous, and in ancient times, the most common intermediary business of the tooth shop was human trafficking, that is, being a "human trafficker".So it is despised.In fact, to put it bluntly, the reason why people hate the five industries of "car and ship shops" is because the ancient people were poor.The money that was earned with great difficulty was earned by others, and it was not like buying things to see the real thing, so I was naturally unwilling.So I orchestrate others.Of course, you can also say that the "government servants" are acting for the tiger and bullying the people, which is also despised.But this can only be said to be a kind of grudge against the government by ordinary people.But then again, if those who hate the government are allowed to work in the government, even if it is to be a servant, they may accept it again.This thing is the same as hating the rich, it is very contradictory.Zhao Yunze inspected the public house of the third class of officials, and listened to the explanation of the officer, and his heart was very useful.It seems that there are also loyal people in Shicheng County, and these officials are doing a good job."

Go ahead and rest."

Zhao Yunze dropped a sentence and went to the backyard.took an abacus, Zhao Yunze was just about to hand it over to Fang Yizhi, but Sun Simiao and Sun Ling'er came to find Zhao Yunze."

Peng Yu, it's been four days since Poor Dao came to Shicheng, and you don't arrange for me to do things.Always eating and drinking for nothing, staying in this square inch of land, the poor road can't bear it. ”Sun Simiao complained to Zhao Yunze."

Ling'er, this girl is also suffocated, I want to take her out for a walk."

Zhao Yunze was stunned for a moment and said, "It's time to go out for a walk."

In this way, Dao Chang and Ling'er girl will clean up, and I will come as soon as I go.After a while, let's go out together to see the market style of Shicheng County. ”"Great," Sun Ling'er jumped with joy.But she realized that this action was too unreserved, and she blushed again.The style of that moment made Zhao Yunze stunned.Xiao Nizi, it's too seductive Originally, Zhao Yunze just wanted to go out with Sun Simiao and Sun Ling'er lightly, but when he went back to the backyard to change clothes, Mingyue Caixia heard that she was going out shopping, where could she still live.Come on, since you bring the bright moon and Caixia, you can't snub Li Ren and Qin An, let's go together.So, Zhao Yunze took a large group of people out of the county office.Being the "Emperor of the Earth" is just this benefit, and no one will interfere with you if you want to do whatever you want.The county seat of Shicheng is very small, with a maximum of three miles from east to west and a maximum of two miles from north to south.With such a little territory, Zhao Yunze and his group don't have to take a car or ride a horse, they just walk.The county seat has only three vertical and two horizontal streets.The main street is only one vertical and one horizontal, and the other three streets are very narrow.The layout of the city is not like Chang'an City, which is neatly planned, and each square and city has a wall to block it from the outside world.The layout of Shicheng County is more like a city in later generations.On both sides of the street are residential areas, and there are many shops on the street frontage.On both sides of the street, you can also see vendors setting up stalls.Zhao Yunze and the others got out of the county office and went to the north and south streets.The weather is nice today, the sun is warm.There are also many pedestrians on the street, and shops are open.This looks much more lively than when Zhao Yunze first entered Shicheng County on Chinese New Year's Eve.But the potholed dirt streets that are not even paved with bluestone slabs, as well as the low houses on both sides of the street, look at Zhao Yunze's eyes, his heart is still heavy.This place is too poor to talk about anything else, but after walking nearly a mile, I saw seven or eight shops at most.Business is the most intuitive benchmark to test the economic level of a city.If the residents have no money, business will not prosper.Sun Ling'er and Mingyue Caixia are naturally not as depressed as Zhao Yunze.Three young girls, like birds out of the cage, happily shopping.From time to time, the three of them also went to the roadside stalls to buy some snacks, trinkets and so on.The three of them chattered and laughed.The three of them are already outstanding, and they are all from Kyoto, and the clothes they wear, the makeup, and the makeup they wear are all very fashionable and beautiful.On the street of Shicheng County, the three girls are like three peony flowers in the weeds, which feasts the eyes of some disciples on the street.Zhao Yunze saw the lively appearance of Sun Ling'er and Mingyue Caixia, and his mood was also a little more relaxed.After walking for a while, a street came to an end.Ahead, there is the South Gate of Shicheng County."

Ah, that's the end," Sun Ling'er exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Zhao, let's turn back and go to that east-west street." ”Zhao Yunze smiled and said, "Since we have all arrived at the South City Gate, let's go out of the city and take a look at the camp of the sons."

It's been four days since I came to Shicheng County, and I haven't seen those boys yet. ”At this moment, there was a sudden noise at the city gate ahead."

Your taxes for entering the city are too high, I only brought two sheep, and you actually have to charge twenty yuan" "It's this price to enter the city, hurry up and pay the money, it's too expensive, then you can bring the sheep back" Zhao Yunze raised his eyes and looked, but saw that outside the city gate, a man dressed as a peasant in his thirties was arguing with a soldier guarding the city.The peasant also had two sheep in his hand.What is the entrance tax Zhao Yunze wondered
