When he saw the young official walking into the courtyard, he immediately bowed forward and greeted him with a smile on his face, "Yang Jiaoyu, why are you here? But you have something to do with our office?"
Wen Xiaojun's eyes moved slightly.
She had heard of the official position of teaching.
A very famous upright official in history once held the official position of edict.
That person is the well-known Hai Rui Hai Qingtian.
As the literal meaning indicates, the official position of "Jiaoyu" refers to the official position of setting up a county school in a county, in charge of worship at the Confucian temple, and educating the students.
In the entire county government, the only four positions that really have imperial official rank and salary are the county magistrate, the county magistrate, the canon historian, and the edict.
Except for these four people, the rest of the county government officials, servants, subordinates, catchers, etc., all have no official salary.
Wen Xiaoyun remembered that when she was reading Hai Rui's biography, she saw some details about the income of yamen personnel.
The sources of income for the various petty officials in the county government are not only subsidies from the county magistrate's personal pocket, but also various gray incomes in the government office.
For example, when collecting grain taxes, the subordinates in the household will prepare a copper pot specifically for weighing.
When the common people filled a pot, the first action of the housekeeper was not to record or move.
Instead, he would lift up his clothes, lift one leg, find the copper pot standing on the ground and kick it hard.
When the copper kettle shakes violently and falls to the ground, most of the grain will be kicked out.
At this time, the household officials would pick up the copper pot and hand it to the tax-paying people, telling them that the tax grain was not enough and they had to fill it up again.
And the food spilled on the ground went into their personal pockets.
Another example is the detective who investigates and handles cases. No matter what case comes out, he can make a lot of money.
If there is a plaintiff and defendant, the police can eat both sides.
The plaintiff wants to give benefits, and the defendant also wants to give benefits, especially the richest ones.
And those officials who can directly receive the imperial salary will only have more power and gray income.
Think about it on the other hand, there are only four official positions with salaries in a county government, and the Yang family actually holds two of them at once.
One can imagine how powerful the Yang family is in Teng County.
Thinking of this, Wen Xiaoyun raised her head unconsciously, narrowed her eyes, and carefully looked at the elegant young man in front of her.
She had a hunch that it would not be that simple if Yang Jiaoyu suddenly appeared in front of her and Yin Nuo.
I saw the young official surnamed Yang adjusting the sleeves of his broad robe casually, raising his head and looking straight ahead. His eyes passed over Li Luohua, the clerk in front of him, and finally fell on Yin Nuo.
His narrow eyes were slightly narrowed, and he looked at Yinnuo coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Nothing else, I just heard that there is a new arrester and a new torture chamber in the yamen. To show my friendship to the landlord, I came here
Invite and entertain."
Hearing Yang Jiaoyu's words, Li Luohua immediately reacted, smiled and nodded in agreement: "Yang Jiaoyu is still thoughtful."
After saying that, he turned around again, walked up to Yinnuo in two steps, raised his finger and pointed at Yang Jiayu, and introduced enthusiastically: "This lord is the son of the former Dianshi Yang family, and he is also the Jiaoyu of our Teng County.
Yang Zhituo, Mr. Yang."
He pointed to the short, fat, white man on the left of Yang Zhituo and introduced him: "The two people following next to me, the one on the left is Huang Qingshi, our household clerk in Teng County."
Then he pointed to the middle-aged man on the right, who was of medium build, slightly stooped, and had a serious expression, and said: "The one on the right is Yang Yong, a subordinate in the workshop."
Yinnuo cupped his fists and raised his hands, "My subordinate, Yinnuo, has met Master Jiayu, Huang Hufang, and Yang Gongfang."
Wen Xiaoyun followed suit, "My subordinate, Wen Xiaoyun, has met Master Jiayu and met two seniors."
Yang Zhituo's lips curved slightly, and he waved his hand sideways, pointing in the direction outside the hospital, "You two, please."
Wen Xiaoyun unconsciously glanced sideways at Yin Nuo, and then both replied, "I don't dare."
Yang Zhituo chuckled softly, said nothing, gathered up the cloak on his shoulders, straightened up, and walked straight out.
Watching the people leaving, Wen Xiaoyun knew that Yinnuo's plan to change the dinner venue to a friend's house tonight was completely in vain.
Where to go for dinner next, I can only listen to Yang Jiaoyu's arrangements.
But what Wen Xiaoyun never expected was that Yang Zhituo would blatantly bring her and Yin Nuo to such a place.
