Chapter 34 The strongest magistrate team in history

The next day, it was still raining heavily.

More than a hundred people following Zhao Shouzheng to Kunshan took two official boats, set out from the Jiangdongmen Wharf, and went straight to Zhenjiang.

A hundred families and followers, as well as frail and sick, were left in Jinling and returned to meet again until Kunshan's condition improved.

At this time, the Zhao family father and son, Xu Wei and Wu Chengen, were rushing to allocate personnel. Only when all responsibilities were clarified can they perform their duties as soon as possible and devote themselves to flood control as soon as possible.

So we decided to divide the labor between the two friends.

Xu Wei is fat and has strong abilities. Regardless of whether he wants to, he is assigned to shoulder the two important tasks of Shu Qi and Jing Ming.

The friend who started the book was mainly responsible for drafting the letters to the boss and letters to his colleagues for the book.

In addition, Zhao Shouzheng also needs to regularly inspect the academic performance of the county students, so Lao Xu has to give him the exam questions and approve the test papers...

As for the position of "criminal name", you must not only be proficient in laws, laws, regulations, official documents and case handling order. You must also be more skilled in humans, not only more skilled in criminals, but also more skilled in the subordinates, so as to prevent the master from being deceived by the subordinates.

This is really only Xu Wenchang can do it well.

Although Wu Chengen is a romantic fantasy writer, he can do everything in the book, but in the real world, he is reckless and straight, and has a very iron-headed head.

Otherwise, in order to save Gui Youguang, who was dismissed and investigated, he led the county people to attack the governor's yamen from Xinghua to Hangzhou for a full 200-mile journey! The old man actually took the people to walk for several days and nights, but before he arrived in Hangzhou, the province released Gui Youguang first.

When he settled the score later, he himself was arrested for inciting riots...

So after careful consideration, Zhao Hao decided not to let writers deal with criminals.

Instead, he was asked to take charge of the heavy responsibility of money and grain. Any errands such as land and population, house number listing, land measurement, warehouse opening relief, and miscellaneous tax collection are all his tasks.

Wu Chengen was good at calligraphy and calculation and was familiar with the various disciplines here. It was naturally no problem to take on this job.

As for the accounting work, Zhao Hao personally took charge of it. It is naturally the most appropriate for him, the yamen, to manage the receivables in the yamen.

After all, he is the only one who will never greedy for his money, and if others change it, they will be suspicious.

Of course, 80% of the final work is still required by Secretary Ma...

Then there is the staffing configuration of the entrustment house.

In addition to the manuscript signing master who is responsible for the general responsibility, there must also be a "issue review" responsible for the official document verification and delivery.

And two "Personal Hall" who accompanied the master to the church, these two are mainly responsible for assisting the master in the trial of the case. They must do their homework before the church, help the master with a scrupulous attitude when they are promoted, and then they must pay attention to check whether there is any missed offerings in the case file handed over by the clerk in the punishment room. Only when the inspection is done, they will be sent to the punishment station to deal with it.

There is also a person who is responsible for printing, a "number" that is responsible for document transfer and archive, and two "books" that are responsible for copying and copying, all have their own tricks, and they can't get started without learning for a while.

Even if the seal is a seal machine that has no feelings, the master's seal is very particular. For example, red seals are usually used, blue seals are used in national funerals, water pendants are used in sacrifices, straight diagonal seals are used in examination lists, and seams are used in tax deeds... There are also half-side seals, middle diagonal seals, heavenly seals, etc., and dozens of kinds of flower heads.

If the wrong stamp is made, it will embarrass the master, and the worst is that it will cause the magistrate to lose his black veil. Therefore, professionals must use the seals specifically.

Zhao Hao is good at writing and calculations. Although there are many smart people, the problem is that none of them understand this profession.

Wu Chengen said that he was temporarily responsible for signing the manuscript.

For the large number of clerks in the signing house, Zhao Hao's students are the ones who want to enter the signing house. The minimum condition is that they have beautiful regular script, so scholars naturally have advantages.

Moreover, they were willing to do the second session of the provincial examination, but they were all writing official documents. They had been practicing in the signing room for a year or two, and this was the advantage during the big competition.

Therefore, Wu Chengen has to be responsible for teaching the official documents of these scholars. It can be imagined that "Journey to the West" will be suspended for a long time.

Xu Wei was very unhappy and wanted to help Wu Chengen take off the burden on his shoulders so that he could have the energy to write.

But he was afraid of offending the bright lamp, so he let Lao Wu hold up the Black Water River for another half a year. It would be better not to watch it.

Xu Wei unexpectedly took over the manuscript signing work.

Now he has three important tasks: calligraphy, punishment, and manuscript signing, and he has become the most arduous person in the entire yamen.

Xu Wenchang's abnormal behavior made Zhao Hao and Wu Chengen inexplicable. I wonder what he was thinking?

Next are two candidates for the government officials. Although this position is important, the professional requirements are that the entrustment house is not that high.

As long as you know the pros and cons, be wise, look shiny, and have a little urgency and wisdom, you can be competent.

"If you want to be a clerk in the party, please let Yu Man take my manager." Zhao Hao smiled and said, "He has worked as the lobby manager of Xishan Company, and welcomes and sends him. He is very familiar with the high and low blocks."

There are also those who are staring at Qiancao, warehouses, Maha, prison, government office and other places, and the managers brought by Zhao Hao are qualified if they have a little training.

Finally, there is an errand in charge of the chef, which is a fat man.

Because since Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, all levels of yamen were in charge of food, and the place where they were in charge of food was called the "canteen". The officials and servants in the county yamen, plus hundreds of white servants... that is, temporary workers, totaling two or three hundred people.

With so many people eating and drinking three meals a day, you can imagine the oil and water inside, so of course you have to send someone who can trust to stare at it.

Although Mr. Zhao looked down on that little flower head, he was definitely unwilling to be regarded as a fool who could take advantage of it.

So he handed over this glorious task to Fan Datong.

Finally, there is the armed force controlled by the county magistrate.

Gao Wu still led the men in Caijiaxiang to be responsible for the safety of Houya and the Zhao family father and son.

Among them, Cai Ming led a team of Caijiaxiang guards to protect Zhao Erye... Zhao Hao originally wanted Gao Wu to do this job, but Zhao Erye thought he was ugly.

Oh no, I think he looks too fierce and standing behind him all day will affect the image of the master who is friendly to the people.

Jin Ke is responsible for selecting and integrating the volunteers, gunmen and militia in the county and training them into an army. During the next few months of flood control, he will be responsible for maintaining order in the county.

As for whether to replace the third yamen runners and the archers of the inspection department, it will be determined by the situation until the flood recedes.

After all, although Dianshi and the inspector were not in the rank of the ninth rank, the court gave them clear powers. The inspection department was even more independent of the county government and could not be emptied at will like the county magistrate and chief clerk.

Because the county magistrate's duty is to assist the county magistrate in handling all matters of the county, there is no specific task, and the size of power depends on the magistrate's mood and ability. If you meet a strong magistrate, the county magistrate can only stand aside.

As for the chief clerk, he is mainly responsible for the money, grain and archives of the whole county. Unfortunately, the former is the lifeblood of a county, and the master must hold it firmly in his hands. Therefore, although the chief clerk of the Ming Dynasty was named the third master, he is actually the director of the archives office...
