Chapter 146: Overhead County Magistrate
Now Huangfu Chaobo still has five warriors, five Xianbei cavalry, one hundred archers around level 45, and ten sword and shield soldiers. After thinking about it, Huangfu Chaobo paid to the barracks to recruit ninety sword and shield soldiers Ten spearmen, and then divided these soldiers into five teams, each with one warrior, one Xianbei cavalry, twenty archers and thirty infantry. Two teams guarded the house, two teams were prepared to "protect" the county magistrate, and one team took it with him.
After entering the county government office, Huangfu Chaobo led people directly to the backyard where the county magistrate lived.
Seeing more than sixty soldiers coming in directly under the leadership of a sixth-rank military officer, everyone in the backyard was terrified. The county magistrate even thought that Huangfusong had changed his mind and wanted to kill him, regardless of the fact that he and Huangfu Chaobo were in the same rank, and that civil servants in the Han Dynasty had higher status than military officials. All of a sudden, he knelt down in front of Huangfu Chaobo and said, "My lord, please forgive me. My lord, please forgive me..."
Huangfu Chaobo ignored him, and directly arranged a team of people to control the entire backyard. Then let another team live directly in a few corners of the yard. From now on, the two teams of soldiers will protect the safety of the county magistrate day and night. After everything was arranged, Huangfu Chaobo calmly walked to the main seat and sat down. Looking at the county magistrate kneeling below, Huangfu Chaobo couldn't help but laugh. He put all three official seals on the table next to him in a leisurely manner, and then slowly said to the county magistrate: "What's wrong with the county magistrate? Why do you walk so carelessly? You servants are really serious. Look at the magistrate. Even when the county official fell to the ground, he didn't help him."
When the county magistrate heard this, he realized that these people did not come to kill him, he got up from the ground with a face of embarrassment, and said cautiously: "It's okay, it's okay, I don't know what advice this lord has for coming to the next official? "
"I'm on the same level as the adults, so I don't dare to give advice. Let me tell you clearly. This officer is the newly appointed Sima of the other department by General Zuo Zhongying. Now the two adults have divided their troops to suppress the bandits. I have been ordered to lead a Qian Huben is in charge of clearing up the remnants of the Yellow Turban in Yuzhou, and at the same time, because the master's order on how to deal with it has not yet been reached, so before the order arrives, I am ordered to take over all the affairs of Changshe City. Please cooperate with the master." He said, pointing The three official seals next to it. "Otherwise, hum..."
"The lower official understands, and must fully cooperate with the lord." The county magistrate responded quickly; "I just don't know how the lord wants the next official to cooperate?"
"Oh, it's simple. Before the decree arrives, your lord will stay in this yard. I will send people to protect your safety day and night. Also, please call your colleagues from the county and introduce them to me. Secondly, I also tell everyone that the adults cannot be directors due to illness, and all affairs in the county can be handled by the officials."
"Yes, yes... The officials will definitely do it..." Then he arranged for his cronies, accompanied by Huangfu Chaobo's people, to invite all the county officials to the county government.
According to the Han system, the chief of the county is the county magistrate or county magistrate, ranging from a thousand stones to three hundred stones. Gaoxian {i.e. Daxian} is the magistrate of Liupin County, and there is one county magistrate under it, the eighth rank, to manage documents and prisons; one or two county lieutenants, ninth rank, to manage public security; Zhongxian is Qipin One for Ling, one for Jiupincheng and one for Wei. In the low county, there is one Bapin county magistrate, one Jiupin Cheng and one Wei. In addition, officials such as the master book, meritorious officials, officials, and historians are all invited by the county and do not belong to the imperial court. The chief of the county is appointed by the imperial court, and the personnel in the county can be appointed by the chief of the county or dispatched by the superior.
There are townships, pavilions, and villages under the county. Generally, one hundred households is one li, ten li is one pavilion, and ten pavilions is one township. Townships have eight ranks with ranks and one for each of the three elders, while small townships have nine ranks and one miser. The pavilion has a pavilion chief, who is in charge of public security, and there are no pavilion waiters and pavilion soldiers. The chief of Li is Li Kui. Officials in townships, pavilions, and villages are all appointed and removed by higher-level organs such as the county.
Changshe City is a large county. There should be one Ling, two lieutenants, one Cheng, plus the chief bookkeeper and other officials. There are always twenty or thirty people. Before long, the soldiers outside reported,
All the officials in the county have arrived in the lobby, waiting for the county magistrate to see him. So Huangfu Chaobo gave the county magistrate a wink, and escorted the county magistrate to the lobby with a team of soldiers.
After arriving at the lobby, the county magistrate first introduced the county magistrate and several major officials to Huangfu Chaobo, and then went straight to the topic, saying that he had been in poor health recently, and that he would entrust all affairs in the county to Huangfu Chaobo in the future, and then, Under the protection of soldiers, he returned to the backyard. During the period, the county magistrate quietly winked at the county magistrate, but after thinking about it for a while, the magistrate shook his head imperceptibly, but Huangfu Chaobo didn't notice this small gesture.
As soon as the county magistrate left, Huangfu Chaobo introduced himself to everyone, and then, after saying some unnutritious words to everyone, he asked the chief officials to sort out all the materials of the Changsha and send them to him come here. On the other hand, Huangfu Chaobo himself went back to the backyard to find the county magistrate. It stands to reason that there should be a county magistrate in the Changsha, but he didn't see it. You must ask Huangfu Chaobo about this to be at ease.
After asking about the county magistrate, Huangfu Chaobo was relieved. There were originally two, but after one left the job due to illness two years ago, there was no suitable candidate, and no one was sent down from above, so After the county lieutenant was hacked by Huangfu Song, there was no one left, and now there is only Huangfu Chaobo as the acting county lieutenant.
It was not until the evening that the county magistrates and the others handed over the statistics to Huangfu Chaobo, and at this time the military camp also handed over the situation of the villages in Changshe.
Pick up the information and see:
Changsha:
The city's population is 98,056
Villages: 547, 316 large villages, 119 middle villages, and 112 small villages.
Looking at the information submitted by the cavalry again: the total number of villages: 547, including 252 abandoned villages: 158 large villages, 108 middle villages, and 29 small villages. Among the existing villages, 89 belong to the court camp and 206 belong to the Yellow Turban camp. Among all the villages, there are 116 large villages, 128 middle villages, and 303 small villages.
hiss. . . In less than half a year, more than 200 villages have been demolished, and more than half of the villages have been demoted to one level. What is even more surprising is that there are only less than 100 imperial court camps.
Look at the current situation in Changshe City: 10,000 county soldiers and 1,000 royal tiger and cardinal cavalry.
Looking further down, Huangfu Chaobo was stunned for a moment: the soldiers of the county state consumed 80,000 catties of grain a day, and paid 360,000 coppers; Ten thousand eight hundred and two. The tiger and cardinal cavalry consumed 20,000 jin of food a day, and 320,000 copper in pay; a month was 60,000 jin, which was 6,000 shi, and the pay was 9,600 taels of silver. Eleven thousand soldiers need 30,000 shi of grain and 24,000 taels of silver in a month. . . .
