Volume 32 Chapter 3 Leaving Youzhou City


Zhang Tie woke up on October 12 and only stayed in Youzhou City for less than two days, and on October 14, he took Huaiyuantang's airship and prepared to return to Jinguang City.

During the two days in Youzhou City, as the newly appointed court lieutenant of Youzhou, in line with the idea of being a monk for a day and hitting the clock for a day, he also had to go to the court lieutenant in Youzhou to learn more about his responsibilities and subordinate institutions.

The official position of Tingwei was a bit difficult to understand at first for those who came to Taixia from other subcontinents, but as long as you know what these two words mean among the Chinese, it is easy to know what this official position is for.

The so-called court captain, according to the literal meaning of the Chinese, knows what it does, that is, the person who guards the fairness, with the interpretation of the Xibo people in the Weiyi subcontinent, this court captain can also be translated into a very fashionable meaning of the messenger of justice.

A country calls the name of one of the most serious and solemn major officials the messenger of justice, and this country, which is precipitated in its bones, is actually hopelessly romantic, which is Zhang Tie's understanding.

The highest Tingwei institution in Taixia is the Tingwei Mansion, the Tingwei Temple at the state level, the Tingwei Ya at the county level, the Tingwei Office at the city level, the Tingwei Supervisor at the county level, and the townships below the county level do not have Tingwei institutions.

As Youzhou Tingwei, Zhang Tie is in charge of Youzhou Tingwei Temple.

The subordinate institutions of Tingwei Temple are mainly divided into three, one is the Zhaojiao Temple, which manages the prison system of the entire Youzhou, the second is the Dali Temple, the Dali Temple is in charge of the trial and litigation of the entire Youzhou, and the third is the Xingkou Temple, which is in charge of the arrest of thieves, deterring evil spirits and maintaining local security.

The court lieutenant of Youzhou is the post of Taixia from the five grades, with a rank of 1,000 stones, and a silver seal and blue ribbon.

The location of Youzhou Tingwei Temple is on a street two kilometers away from the west of Baihutai, its scale is smaller than Baihutai, but it covers an area, there are more than 300 acres, solemn and solemn, everywhere shows the majesty of Tingwei Temple.

Speaking of the position of Tingwei, Zhang Tie asked when he first went to Tingwei Temple, and when he heard the subordinate say "a thousand stones", Zhang Tie was dumbfounded.

"Could it be that the finances of this Youzhou are so difficult, and they can't even afford to issue gold coins, as a state lieutenant, they actually receive corn and grains to survive?"

Zhang Tie knew that in ancient times before the cataclysm, the Chinese officials' fortunes were not about gold and silver coins, but calculated by how many stones and how many stones of grain, he didn't expect him to have such a day, Zhang Tie was also puzzled, looking at the scale of this Youzhou City, although this Youzhou is Taixia's Xiazhou, but it will not make the officials so embarrassed, is Taixia this tune, really treat officials as public servants.

The so-called public servant, as history has proved, is only the greatest humor in human history before the cataclysm.

After Zhang Tie finished speaking, he found that the people around him in the entire Tingwei Temple had strange faces, and many of them had red faces all of a sudden.

"Ahem" After a while, an official in the Tingwei Temple coughed twice before he said to Zhang Tie, "Lord Tingwei doesn't know, this Taixia official system is different from other continents and countries, this so-called Yulu is also the ancient Chinese system, according to the ancient Chinese system, thirty catties are one jun, four jun is one stone, the weight of this stone, that is, one hundred and twenty catties, which is equivalent to sixty kilograms, my lord, your annual rank is one thousand stones, that is, sixty thousand kilograms, but this kilogram does not refer to grain, but the gold stone is the rank unit of Taixia officials, In this lower state, the lowest official from the ninth rank has a rank of one stone a year."

Gold's own annual rank of 1,000 stone gold and 2.4 million gold coins is equivalent to his family's previous income of more than 200,000 years in Heiyan City's father Zhang Tie was speechless, this Taixia is rich, Taixia officials are so high that it is impossible to evaluate, the officials' income is measured by stones, and the entire human race world, it is estimated that only Taixia has such ability In the past two days, Zhang Tie occasionally heard a word, called "the person who led the stone", I didn't understand what it meant, at this time I heard this, Zhang Tie suddenly realized, this is the "elegant name" of the Taixia folk officials, the lowest in Xiazhou from the Jiupin County Order also has a stone, that is, an income of 2400 gold coins, it seems that the officials of Taixia are really well-off.

However, although the rank of Taixia officials is high, the entire Taixia, no matter who it is, up to the three dukes, down to the pavilion chief, the family property and family assets at the time of his appointment need to be declared for the record, and the punishment of the officials who are corrupt and bribery is also extremely severe and severe, and the punishment of the corrupt officials is to punish them for "swallowing gold", and the amount of gold coins for corruption and bribery will be punished for how many gold coins they swallow, and if they do not die, they will not be investigated, if they die, they will be fined and confiscated, and their children and grandchildren will not be allowed to enter the office, and the whistleblower can obtain all the shares of the property of the officials who report the corruption and bribery of the officials, and therefore, in Taixia, Officials who dare to embezzle and accept bribes of more than 10 gold coins are all rare people with in their heads, and they can't find two people in a state in a year.

Seeing that Zhang Tie didn't speak, the others thought that Zhang Tie was too little.

"This Youzhou has just been upgraded to the establishment, and the adult's salary is indeed a little lower, but the adult is still young, the future is immeasurable and prestigious, there are adults guarding Youzhou, this Youzhou is close to the small evil will inevitably walk on thin ice, dare not move slightly, Youzhou public security and customs are calm, if the examination is praised, this governor's palace and even the imperial court, there are also years of merit rewards, that year's merit rewards are generally extremely heavy, and it is common to have several times the rank, and there are even rare treasures, subordinates and other adults can also be stained" Just dipped in the Tingwei Temple in Youzhou City, and the next day, Zhang Tie left Youzhou City.

This Tingwei institution has existed in Taixia for eight or nine hundred years, and in these eight or nine hundred years, all the systems and regulations of this institution have already matured and completed to the extreme, and its daily operation, everything has laws to follow, rules to follow, and is self-contained, even if Zhang Tie is not there, Youzhou Tingwei Temple can still operate.

As the court lieutenant of Youzhou, Zhang Tie originally held the power to appoint many officials of the court lieutenant organs in this state, but Zhang Tie was not interested in this, and there was indeed no human power around him that needed to be placed, so Zhang Tie also left this matter to the family masters and elders of Huaiyuan Hall to worry about, the officials at all levels in the Tingwei Temple, whether they were from within the family, or from the compromise and exchange with various wealthy families in Youzhou, or even the selection of talents in the people, it didn't matter to Zhang Tie, anyway, he believed that this kind of thing, Huaiyuantang will definitely think about it for himself.

People who love power may rack their brains for this kind of thing, but Zhang Tie is actually not a lover of power, he knows that for a knight, the greatest power does not come from the outside, but from the accumulation of his own strength.

At this time, the dispute over the history of Youzhou has just settled, and in the entire Youzhou, everything is slowly on the right track, Zhang Tie estimates that in this Tingwei Temple, there will be nothing that needs to be done by himself for the time being, and after setting a few rules for the Tingwei Temple, Zhang Tie will no longer waste time, take the airship, and return to Jinguang City.

At noon on the 14th, Zhang Tie's airship had just left Youzhou City "Tell the head of the family, Elder Mu Shen has just left Youzhou City in an airship" In the Ming Hall of the Thorn History Mansion, an official from the Assassin History Mansion from Huaiyuan Hall leaned over and reported to Zhang Taixuan.

"Well, I know" Zhang Taixuan said with an unchanged face, put down an official document in his hand that was waiting for his approval, and asked lightly, "Did Elder Mu Shen have any explanation in Tingwei Temple yesterday?"

In the Tingwei Temple, Elder Mu Shen said that before he came to Youzhou, he had met the poisonous wolf Zhu Liang on the wanted list in the Taixia Tingwei Mansion off the coast of Qiongzhou, and the poisonous wolf Zhu Liang was being hunted and pursued by two bounties Xing, but it was still difficult to change his cruel and vicious nature, and the thief nature was difficult to change, which made him remember, so he told Youzhou Tingwei Temple that he must pay attention to the characters and news on the wanted list, and be sure not to let those characters on the wanted list sneak into Youzhou to make waves.

Anything on the wanted list, he had to be the first to know. ” Zhang Taixuan waved his hand lightly, and the family deacon who spoke hunched back and left Waiting for that person to leave, Zhang Taixuan gently rubbed the strangely colored wrench he was wearing on his hand, pondered slightly for half a minute, and then picked up the official document he had just put down again After getting on the airship, Zhang Tie didn't bother to look at the scenery below, but directly took out the Earth Yuan Crystal in his cabin and cultivated.

This battle over the history of the assassination also touched Zhang Tie very much, and it also gave Zhang Tie a sense of crisis, especially the contest with the last demon knight, the strength of the demon knight made him almost can't help but show his hole cards at that time, so as soon as he had time at this moment, he hurried to cultivate.

In the past, in order to save the consumption of his own earth element crystal, Zhang Tie only put half of his energy on the earth element crystal, and the other half captured the multi-faceted crystals of those free earth elements in the elemental world, and after experiencing this battle of thorn history, Zhang Tie had changed his method, reviewed his "frugality", and began to use all his energy, the eighteen spiritual power hands that were conjured up, were used to carry the earth elements contained in the earth element crystal, such a cultivation effect, the consumption of the earth element crystal will be very fast, and the efficiency, is almost twice as fast as the previous two-pronged approach.

Taixia is as strong as a cloud, and he may encounter any danger in the future, first absorb the Diyuan Crystal in his hand as quickly as possible, and let his strength increase in the shortest possible time is the most important thing, as for the consumption of Diyuan Crystal, think of a way after it is consumed Zhang Tie thought secretly.

With such efficiency, it only took two hours for Zhang Tie to absorb a Diyuan crystal In the case that it took an average of one and a half days for other knights to absorb a Earth Yuan Crystal, Zhang Tie's efficiency, if he said it, was simply appalling :
