In a county, a county magistrate with a population of less than 30,000 is the county magistrate, and a population of more than 30,000 is a county magistrate.
Under the county order, there are also county officials and county lieutenants, the county lieutenants preside over the six Cao, and the county lieutenants are in charge of a county's criminal name, conscription and military drills in the county, and there are also the main book, Tingpeng, the main record room, and the county Shaofu.
The six Cao are divided into Gong Cao, Cang Cao, Hu Cao, Bing Cao, Fa Cao, and Shi Cao, followed by many Qiang Fu and Youfu.
The Han State generally followed the old Han system, and did not set up the three elders in the countryside, because although the three elders were in charge of education, they were basically the products of the clan, and in fact it was not conducive to the direct control of the government to the people.
Liu Yan founded the local state from scratch, and there was a lack of enough officials to accept the big clans, the powerful and the family, but there was still a lack of enough administrators.
The Han State Youze soldiers, due to disability and retirement have follow-up pensions, conditions allow will also be given priority to arrange positions, the vast majority of the positions below the county magistrate are held by retired personnel in the army.
Compared with the previous dynasties, there were obviously many more public officials in the Han State, because Liu Yan believed from the beginning that power should go to the countryside, not controlled by local wealthy families.
It is absolutely not easy for a country to spread its political power all over the mountains and rivers, first of all, the administrative personnel must be absolutely sufficient, and the worst thing is that the administrative personnel are not so easy to find.
If there are many public officials, the state's salaries for public officials will become a new issue.
In the past, it was the local people in each place who were recommended as officials or officials, and under normal circumstances, they were people who were respected in the local area, which means that the people in various places were big clans or powerful people in various places.
It must be said that people from a family like Liu Bang can become pavilion chiefs, the main reason is that Liu Bang's old father and the county magistrate are old friends, and then Liu Bang has a gang.
Besides, the use of local hooligans and gangsters as supernumerary civil servants is not a special case until the Tianyi Dynasty, it has existed since ancient times The Han State established on the ruins was the restoration of rivers and mountains from the hands of the Hu people, and the premise that most of the old rules were broken by the Hu people, the obstacle to the implementation of the new policy was the local big clans and heroes.
Because of the relationship between the relevant national policies, the resisting clans and Haoqiang will have to face the purging of the Han army, as long as they don't want to destroy the family, they can only endure it, then it can be imagined that no matter how calm the water surface of the Han people looks like, but in fact, there is definitely a dark whirlpool everywhere under the water surface.
"Xinpingli" Wang Meng knew that it would not be a trivial matter for what happened in Yili to reach the county government, but he still had to ask: "What happened?"
Huang Zhan, the county lieutenant, is a military marquis in the army who retired to the civilian population, not a military marquis of the field corps, but a marquis of the second-line army.
If you are a military marquis of the field corps, the arrangement after retirement is at least one of the positions in the county, and it may not be enough to be a county lieutenant, but it is definitely enough to be a county soldier.
Xinpingli is one of the many miles in Nanpi County, but it is far away from the core of Nanpi County, and it is considered a remote lane.
In general, the farther away from the core of power, the weaker the official power, the more lawless it is to happen.
"There was a homicide."
Huang Zhan, as the county lieutenant, was of course responsible for the punishment, and he specially told Wang Meng that the matter was both big and complicated: "A family of three died at home overnight, and the cruelty of the gangsters can be seen, not only killing people, but also cutting off limbs and heads, and openly placing them in front of the courtyard.
The clues initially recovered by the tour are related to the local clans, and are suspected to be land disputes and contract disputes. ” You Confiscation is quite a later generation of police, specializing in managing law and order and arresting thieves.
I have to say that the Han Kingdom had to measure the land and redeem it, but the government had its own policies, and the clans and Haoqiang below also had their own ways to deal with it.
Didn't the government want to redeem the land, and the big clan and Haoqiang transferred the land under their names to some people in advance, who may have been domestic slaves of the family before, or they may have been found temporarily, in short, they have reduced the land they hold in the open, but those lands are still in their hands in secret.
The Han State was not ignorant of the methods of the local clans and the powerful, it may be that they are not enough, and it is more likely that they are deliberately indulgent, and after the local government resumed operation, there was no difficulty in the re-registration of the previous land deeds.
Wang Meng asked again: "What does Quanzhi think?"
Huang Zhan replied: "The head of the Ge family came in person, found a job, and complained in every way, and even took out a hidden contract in order to wash away his grievances.
I thought it was deliberately framed, and then the case was not so simple. ” At this time, the contract does not need to be authenticated by the government to take effect, as long as the clause is written with the signatures of both parties or the drawing of the pledge is recognized, the result is that disputes over the contract often occur in the people, and the government has always had a headache for contract dispute cases, just because the word is the mainstream, and then there is no basis for the judgment of the contract that is not recognized.
"Even the hidden contract has been taken out" Wang Meng is no stranger to similar contracts, which are nothing more than some clauses written by the owners of both parties, which must be about the actual owner of the land to prove or agree.
He asked, "Who did the Ge family offend?"
"The job has been investigated, and for the time being, it has not been found that the Ge family has recently had a dispute with anyone."
What Huang Zhan cares about is: "Who committed the crime, why did you blame the Ge family, and what was the purpose." ” Wang Meng pondered for a moment and asked, "When will anyone report the case after the incident?"
Originally, the murdered family was all dead, and no one could file a case without reporting to the official, which was the official method before the Han Kingdom.
After all, what we are talking about now is that the people do not investigate the officials and do not investigate, which is the norm.
Under the territory ruled by the Han State, no one reported to the official, as long as the government learned about it, the case could be filed, but the relative person who reported the case would be ranked behind the case.
The gap between the people and the public officials is too great, and there may be only one public official for thousands of people.
Don't look at the Han State arranged a large number of retired military personnel to transfer to local places to become public officials, to think about a pavilion must have a pavilion chief, usually ten pavilions for one li, three to five li for a township, a county will have at least ten or so townships, then how many public officials should be In Nanpi County, for example, there are more than 37,000 people in the county, but only about 30 people are in charge of local security.
And there are more than 30 people because Nanpi County is the capital of Bohai County, and a county that is not the capital can pay about 20 or so is too much.
Huang Zhan didn't think much about it and told the truth: "It's a neighbor of the murdered family, named Dahei."
He claimed that he had an appointment with the victim Muzi the next day, went to the victim's house early, and immediately reported to the pavilion chief after discovering the corpse. ” It should be said that the current situation of the common people's settlement, the population of the pavilion, the current situation of scattered living is more common, although the two families are neighbors, they may be far away, but the houses in the city will appear to be concentrated.
The reason why Wang Meng asked, the starting point is that the scattered situation of the people is widespread, considering that the Qiang Fu will only go down when he investigates and pays taxes, and it is impossible for the tour to hang out at any time, and what happens in addition to the local pavilion chief, it can only be found out by coincidence or people who go there deliberately.
"According to investigation, Da Hei and the victim Mu Zigu were indentured slaves of the Ge family, and they were freed after the Han was recovered."
Huang Zhan obviously did a lot of research in advance, and said: "Although it is nothing more than blood relatives to testify whether they meet, but the two often meet to go into the mountains to hunt, and it is difficult to find suspicious points when Da Hei claims to abide by the appointment." ” Wang Meng asked: "The pavilion chief can be in the county office" Huang Zhan immediately replied, "Yes." ” Wang Meng said, "Send him in." ” The pavilion chief, a man who was missing his right arm, had been assigned to a local post after retiring from the army due to injury, and when he came in, he saluted respectfully, and stood up straight as a soldier waiting for questions.
"When Da Hei came to look for you, did he bring hunting equipment" Wang Meng thought for a moment and added: "What was Da Hei's behavior at that time, I will tell you one by one. ” The pavilion chief didn't answer immediately, but first recalled it carefully, and then said: "Dahei didn't carry hunting equipment when he found his job, and he saw hunting gear that was abandoned on the ground when he arrived at the scene.
When he came, he looked frightened and sad, and kept saying that it must be the Ge family who harmed Muzi himself, his mother, and his wife. ” "Da Hei can pick up the hunting equipment when he leaves" Wang Meng paused, got the answer that he had picked up, and asked: "Did Da Hei say that he wanted to return the land contract to the Ge family or something" The pavilion chief replied quickly this time: "There is indeed such self-talk. ” "Is it unintentional, or deliberate" Wang Meng felt that this question was very important, and said to the pavilion chief: "Think about it carefully, and then answer this official." ” The pavilion chief was originally going to blurt out, but after being mentioned, he could only recall and confirm again and again, and finally said: "Yu County Zun, Da Hei has been constantly talking to himself when he found his job, and he has been mentioning it repeatedly along the way, and he still keeps muttering when he leaves." ” Wang Meng looked at Huang Zhan and asked, "The contract that the head of the Ge family took out, how many people secretly agreed with him?"
This stumped Huang Zhan, he only read a few copies at that time, and he could roughly remember the number of wooden rows, but he really couldn't say the exact number.

"It seems that there are a lot" Wang Meng saw Huang Zhan nodding his head as if he was unrelieved, and probably had a guess about this case.
He said, "Let the officer give me his opinion." ” The phenomenon of private division of land between big clans and powerful people in various places is extremely common, and the people involved are also extremely wide, in addition to the open and secret control of non-blood relations, family division is also one of the means.
After all, the Han State restricts how much land a family can have, and it does not limit how much land each family in a clan has.
They only need to shrink the land held by the family on the surface, and secretly control how much they don't believe that the Han government can manage so much.
The division of the family is actually a matter that is extremely welcome by the political power of every country, and the family is not divided and the family is getting bigger and bigger is something that every generation of regimes wants to manage and is difficult to manage, whether it is privately distributed to people without blood or blood relatives, it can be said that the Han officials just watch and do not interfere, and even secretly encourage the attitude.
Too many families do that, and there are a lot of follow-up things, because it is easy to divide them, and what the people who get the land will think is another matter.
So the official now has two guesses."
Wang Meng would not do anything like raising his fingers, and said in a tone of neither pleasure nor slowness: "It may be that the person who got the land committed the crime, framed the Ge family and let the government dispose of it, so as to achieve the established fact that the land is in the name and there is no threat; Another possibility is that the Ge family encountered a crisis and committed a bloody case in order to deter everyone. ” "Job" Huang Zhan looked at Wang Meng with an admiring expression, and said bluntly: "Career is more inclined to the first possibility. ” The pavilion chief was not questioned, he remained silent all along.
"If the contract taken out by the head of the Ge family is not there, the county lieutenant should go and get it now."
After Wang Meng finished speaking to Huang Zhan, he looked at the pavilion chief: "You go back to the pavilion and don't make a noise to observe who is different from the past recently." ” The two naturally left one after another, leaving Wang Meng alone to sit in place and look like he was in a daze It's not that Wang Meng has any malicious prejudice against the people, he never underestimates the people's desire for land, although the Han Dynasty has a channel for granting land for military merits, but the army is not an unlimited amount of recruitment, and there are always a few people who can get land by joining the army, so if you have the opportunity, you can sit on the land you hold, and don't doubt what they will scruple about.
Nanpi County and even most of the prefectures and counties of the Han State today have not been within the territory of the Han State for a long time, and the time for the implementation of the new policy is even shorter, and most of the local officials, including Wang Meng, have long known that there will be no fewer problems about the outbreak of land, and for Wang Meng, the incident in Xinpingli happened relatively late.
The national policy of the Han State was to fight against the powerful in various places, and the families who resisted and were killed and destroyed did not know how many, but there was no obvious policy to benefit the common people, such as the national policy of free Juntian.
It can be said that the amount of land held by the people is very limited, and about 30% of it is still divided by local clans, Haoqiang, and families.
On more than one occasion, there was a discussion about how to increase and equalize the amount of land held by the common people, and the occasional proposal to equalize the land without compensation was quickly drowned out by the wave of insistence on military merit.
How to let the people get their own land on the premise of paying is the most urgent thing for the magistrates in each place, after all, the magistrates want to make political achievements, in addition to education, isn't it a consideration of taxation For the private division of land, even if there is no secret indication from the center, the magistrate will definitely indulge, and the price is the follow-up trouble that arises because of land disputes.
Simply by military merits, when can more people have their own landWang Meng took the perspective of the magistrate as the starting point, in fact, he did not have no opinions on the national policy of the Han State: those who can get land by military merits are all from a military background, on the contrary, it is difficult for the rest of the people to have a way.
In the long run, the military power will expand indefinitely, and who will check and balance Thinking about it, Wang Meng smiled bitterly, he is now a county order, what he should worry about is the affairs of a county, and the things related to the overall strategic level of the country are not something that a county order can interfere with
