Volume Four, Volume 32, Chapter 3 Leaving Youzhou City
Zhang Tie woke up on October 12th and stayed in Youzhou City for less than two days. On October 14th, he took the Huaiyuantang airship and prepared to return to Jinguang City.
During the two days in Youzhou City, as the newly appointed Tingwei of Youzhou, with the idea of being a monk for one day and clocking the clock for one day, he had to take a trip to the Tingwei Yamen in Youzhou to learn more about the situation.
Let’s talk about our responsibilities and subordinate organizations.
The official position of Tingwei is a little difficult to understand for people who come to Taixia from other subcontinents at first, but as long as you know what these two words mean among the Chinese, it is easy to know what this official position is.
.
Ting is a person who is fair and has a broad heart and has no injustice. Wei is a guard. Wearing armor and carrying sharp guards to guard is a Wei. The so-called Ting Wei, according to the Chinese literal meaning, you know what it does, that is, a person who guards fairness.
, using the interpretation of the Westerners in the Weiyi subcontinent, this Tingwei can also be translated into a very fashionable meaning - the messenger of justice. A country calls the name of the most serious and solemn official the messenger of justice. This country
, what is deep in one’s bones is actually the hopeless romantic gene - this is Zhang Tie’s understanding.
Among the Tingwei institutions in Taixia, the highest one is Tingwei Mansion, the state level is Tingwei Temple, the county level is Tingwei Yamen, the city level is Tingwei Office, and the county level is Tingwei Supervisor.
, towns below the county level do not have Tingwei institutions. As Youzhou Tingwei, Zhang Tie is the commander of Youzhou Tingwei Temple.
The subordinate institutions of Tingwei Temple are mainly divided into three. One is Zhaoyu Temple. Zhaoyu Temple manages the entire prison system in Youzhou. The second is Dali Temple. Dali Temple is in charge of trials and proceedings in the entire Youzhou. The third is Punishment.
The Kou Temple and the Xingkou Temple are in charge of apprehending thieves, deterring evil spirits, and maintaining local security. Because of these three responsibilities, the Tingwei Agency is also known as the Sansi Yamen among the people in Taixia. The Tingwei at all levels
The chief officer was also made the commander-in-chief of the three divisions.
The Tingwei of Youzhou holds the rank of Taixia Cong of the fifth rank. His salary is one thousand dan, and he has a silver seal and a green ribbon.
Youzhou Tingwei Temple is located on a street two kilometers west of Baihu Terrace. Its scale is smaller than Baihu Terrace, but it also covers an area of more than 300 acres. It is solemn and solemn, showing the majesty of Tingwei Temple everywhere.
Speaking of the salary for the rank of Tingwei, Zhang Tie asked about it when he first came to Tingwei Temple. When his subordinate said "the salary for rank is one thousand dan", Zhang Tie was dumbfounded.
"Is it possible that Youzhou's finances are so difficult that it can't even afford gold coins? As a state official's salary, he actually gets corn and grains to survive?"
Zhang Tie knew that in ancient Chinese times before the great catastrophe, the salary of Chinese officials was not calculated in terms of gold and silver coins, but in terms of how many stones and how many stones of grain. He did not expect that such a day would happen to him. Zhang Tie was still puzzled.
Looking at the scale and structure of Youzhou City, although Youzhou is the lower state of Taixia, it will not make the officials so embarrassed. Could it be that Taixia is like this. It really treats officials as public servants. What are the so-called public servants?
, history has proven that it was just the biggest humor in human history before the catastrophe.
After Zhang Tie finished speaking, he found that everyone around him in Tingwei Temple looked strange, and many people's faces suddenly turned red from suppressing their emotions.
"Cough...cough..." After a while, an official from Tingwei Temple coughed twice and then said to Zhang Tie, "Master Tingwei doesn't know something. This Taixia official system is different from other continents and countries.
Different, this so-called salary is also an ancient Chinese system. According to the ancient Chinese system, thirty kilograms is one Jun, and four Juns is one stone. The weight of this stone is one hundred and twenty kilograms, which is equivalent to sixty kilograms.
Sir, your annual salary is one thousand dan, which is 60,000 kilograms, but this kilogram does not refer to grain, but gold! Shi is the unit of salary for Taixia officials. In this land of Xiazhou, the lowest salary is
A ninth-grade official has a salary of one stone per year..."
Gold? His annual salary is one thousand stones of gold? 2.4 million gold coins? It’s equivalent to his family’s father’s income in Black Flame City for more than 200,000 years? Zhang Tie is speechless. This is the wealth of Taixia, and the salary of Taixia officials is so high.
, it is simply impossible to evaluate. The salary of officials is measured in stones. In the entire human 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 leads the stone". At that time, he didn't understand what it meant. When he heard this, Zhang Tie suddenly realized that this was the "elegant name" for officials in Taixia. Xiazhou
The lowest one, a ninth-grade county magistrate, has an income of one stone a year, which is 2,400 gold coins. It seems that the officials in Taixia are really living a good life.
However, although the official salaries of Taixia officials are high, in the entire Taixia, no matter who they are, from the three Dukes to the chief of the pavilion, their property and property while in office must be reported and recorded. Taixia also imposes extremely severe penalties on officials who are corrupt and accept bribes.
The penalty for corrupt officials is extremely severe. The penalty for corrupt officials is to "swallow gold." They will be fined to swallow as many gold coins as they have accepted bribes. If they are not dead, they will not be punished. If they are dead, their family property will be confiscated, and their descendants will not be allowed to enter the officialdom for three generations.
, the whistleblower can obtain all the property of the person who reported the corruption and bribery of the officials. Therefore, in Taixia, officials who dare to corrupt and accept bribes of more than 10 gold coins are very few people who have shit in their heads.
I can't find two people in the year.
Seeing that Zhang Tie didn't speak, others thought that Zhang Tie was too young.
"This Youzhou has just been upgraded to an organic system, and your salary is indeed a little lower. However, you are still young, with a bright future and a great reputation. With you guarding Youzhou, the evildoers in Youzhou's close neighbors must be walking on thin ice and dare not move even a little.
The state's public security and customs are peaceful, and if you get a good score in the college entrance examination, the governor's office and even the imperial court will give out annual merit rewards. The annual merit rewards are usually extremely generous, and it is common for people to receive several times the rank salary, and even
There are also rare treasures, and subordinates who follow the master can also benefit from them!"
…
After just a dip in Tingwei Temple in Youzhou City, Zhang Tie left Youzhou City the next day.
This Tingwei institution has existed in Taixia for a hundred years. During these hundred years, all the institutions and regulations of this institution have been mature and complete to the extreme. In its daily operations, everything has laws to follow, rules to follow, and is self-contained.
Even if Zhang Tie is not around, Youzhou Tingwei Temple can still operate as usual.
As a Tingwei of Youzhou, Zhang Tie originally had the power to appoint many officials of the Tingwei agency in this state, but Zhang Tie had no interest in this, and he did not have any manpower around him that needed to be deployed, so
, Zhang Tie also left this matter to the family heads and elders of Huaiyuantang to worry about. Officials at all levels in Tingwei Temple, whether from within the family, or through compromise and exchange with various wealthy families in Youzhou, or even in
It doesn't matter to Zhang Tie whether the private sector selects talents. Anyway, he believes that Huaiyuantang will definitely consider this kind of thing for himself.
People who love power may rack their brains to plan for this kind of thing, but Zhang Tie is not actually a power lover. He knows better that for a knight, the greatest power does not come from the outside, but from himself.
The accumulation of strength, this is the saying that a peach or a plum will make its own way without saying anything.
At this time, the dispute over the governor of Youzhou has just settled, and everything in Youzhou is slowly getting back on track. Zhang Tie estimates that there will be no need to intervene in Tingwei Temple for the time being.
After setting a few rules, Zhang Tie stopped wasting time and took the airship back to Golden Light City.
…
At noon on the 14th, the airship Zhang Tie was riding had just left Youzhou City...
"Reporting to the head of the family, Elder Mu Shen has just left Youzhou City on an airship!" In the bright hall of the Governor's Mansion, an official from Huaiyuan Hall leaned over and reported to Zhang Taixuan.
"Well, I got it!" Zhang Taixuan said with an unchanging expression, put down an official document that was waiting for his approval, and asked lightly, "Did Elder Mu Shen give any instructions at Tingwei Temple yesterday?
"
"Elder Mu just asked Tingwei Temple to give him a work briefing every month. In Tingwei Temple, Elder Mu said that before he came to Youzhou, he had met someone on the wanted list of Taixia Tingwei's mansion in the sea outside Qiongzhou.
Poison wolf Zhu Liang, Poison wolf Zhu Liang was being chased by two bounty men at that time, but he still could not change his cruel and vicious nature, and his thief nature was hard to change, which left a deep impression on him, so he told Youzhou Tingwei Temple that he must
Pay attention to the people and news on the wanted list, and be sure not to let those on the wanted list sneak into Youzhou to cause trouble. He must be the first to know about any news on the wanted list."
Zhang Taixuan waved his hand gently, and the family deacon who spoke bowed his back and backed away...
After the man left, Zhang Taixuan gently stroked the strange and colorful ring on his hand, pondered for half a minute, and then picked up the official document he had just put down again...
…
After boarding the airship, Zhang Tie didn't bother to look at the scenery below, but directly took out the Earth Element Crystal in his cabin and started practicing.
This battle for the governor had a great impact on Zhang Tie, and it also gave Zhang Tie a sense of crisis, especially the contest with the last demon knight. The demon knight was so powerful that he almost died at that time.
He couldn't help but reveal his trump card, so whenever he had time now, he would hurry up and practice.
In the past practice, in order to save the consumption of his Earth Element Crystal, Zhang Tie only put half of his energy into the Earth Element Crystal, and the other half was in the elemental world to capture the multi-faceted crystals of the free Earth Element, a two-pronged approach, and after experiencing this
After the Battle of the Governor, Zhang Tie had changed his methods, reviewed his "frugality", and began to use all his energy, the eighteen transformed spiritual hands, to transport the earth elements contained in the Earth Element Crystal.
Such a cultivation effect will consume the earth element crystal very quickly, and the efficiency will be almost twice as fast as the previous two-pronged approach.
There are so many strong people in Taixia, and they may encounter some danger in the future. The most important thing is to absorb the Earth Element Crystal in your hand as quickly as possible, so that your strength can be enhanced in the shortest time. As for the Earth Element Crystal
The consumption... Let's wait until the consumption is finished and then think of a solution... Zhang Tie thought secretly.
With such efficiency, it only takes Zhang Tie two hours to absorb an Earth Element Crystal...
When other knights take an average of a day and a half to absorb an Earth Element Crystal, Zhang Tie's efficiency is simply appalling...
