Chapter 6 Appreciation

He first met his second brother Qin Shubao, and now he met Zhang Xutuo, the god of war at the end of the Sui Dynasty. Luo Feng's face turned red with excitement. In the history of China, he liked the Sui and Tang Dynasties the most, and in the history of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, he liked the most were the fierce people of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

It was unexpected to meet two idol-level fierce men one after another in one day.

Zhang Xutuo, who was not wearing military uniforms and armor, looked very easy-going. This Guanlong general was born in the Guanlong sect and was promoted to the pillar country step by step with his military achievements. The new middle-aged man named Qi County Magistrate faced two young people with low status and did not show any high profile.

"Qin Qiong, why are you a soldier in the Guard? "

"I went back to the county magistrate and said that I was originally under the command of the general from the right guard. I followed Duke Rong to Dengzhou to train water battles. Recently, I received a letter from my home saying that my mother was seriously ill, so I took leave to the general and returned to my hometown to visit him, but unexpectedly I encountered a robber on the way."

"Oh." Zhang Xutuo nodded, then turned his head to look at Luo Feng.

Compared with the strong and strong Qin Qiong, Luo Feng was inevitably thinner and thinner, especially at a glance, he was still very young.

"Rao Wulang, how old are you this year?"

"Return to the county magistrate Zhang, the youngest is sixteen this year. The Feng County Government had previously summoned the river to Jijun to serve. After working for three months, he returned home after completing the work. Halfway through the road, he met the head-hunting Zhao from our county, the county magistrate, and he asked us to escort his colleagues together."

"Luo Wulang, seeing that you are young, I didn't expect you to defeat three blue-faced ghosts. How did you do it?" Zhang Xutuo asked with interest.

"The young family has been a blacksmith for generations. My father and brother are also blacksmiths. Therefore, when they were young, they helped to work when they were young, they burned fire and moved materials when they were young, and they also used hammers to beat them when they grew up. Therefore, they were thinner, but they had two brute strength. However, they were able to capture the three thieves just now, mainly because the second brother Qin showed his courage and killed the thief's leader as soon as they took action, which made the thief lose their spirit. I just took the opportunity to take advantage of it and could not be compared with second brother Qin."

Zhang Xutuo was surprised to see Luo Feng speak neatly, neither humble nor arrogant, and did not see the fear and timidity of the officials. Especially when he spoke so well, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"I seem to have read a book after listening to you?"

"When I returned to the county magistrate, Jiaci was from the Qin family next door in Licheng, and I had read some books before. My brother and I taught some reading, writing and arithmetics by my mother when I was young, but I was a little fool and only memorized half of the book of filial piety, which was not considered to have read books."

The Book of Filial Piety was one of the nine scriptures that were appointed after the establishment of the imperial examination in the Sui Dynasty. The Qin Luo family was able to teach their sons a book of Filial Piety, which means that it was indeed amazing. Luo Feng, a son of a blacksmith, dared to say that he had memorized half of it at the age of sixteen.

"No wonder he is brave and resourceful. He helped his father make a blacksmith, practiced his strength, and learned half of the filial piety scriptures from his mother, added strategy, and even more so that he was so chivalrous. He was so young that he had great potential in the future."

Zhang Xutuo turned to Zhang County Magistrate and said, "Compared with Qin Erlang and Luo Erlang, the Captain Zhao whom you really appointed is too dereliction of duty. When you encounter a thief, you only know how to escape. Although you have the merit of reporting the news, you are still dereliction of duty. If you are in the army, you are a deserter."

"Zhao Laosan is just a constable in the fast class. He is not a captain. This is too incompetent and timid." County Magistrate Zhang also said hatefully.

Constable Zhao stood aside, and his legs became weak, and he knelt down with a plop.

"I'll spare my life, the young man also wants to come back and bring the reinforcements as soon as possible."

"If you have merits, you will be rewarded, and if you have to be punished, you will be punished. Zhao Laosan, if you come back and report your merits, our county will remember you. You will be rewarded with five stalemates, but if you leave my daughter's fault, you will be punished. It would not be an exaggeration to punish you even if you have any punishment, but since my daughter is fine, I will spare you once. But in the county government, you will not be able to keep such a coward like you in the future. Get up immediately and get rid of your responsibilities in the county and go home."

There are three yamen runners in the county yamen. These three yamen runners have their own division of labor, including soap classes, fast classes and strong classes. The soap classes are similar to bailiffs, responsible for following the chief guard to open the way, standing on both sides of the lobby during trial, maintaining discipline, escorting criminals, and executing torture and cannons.

The fast-paced team is specifically responsible for arrest, detention, release and other responsibilities, which is equivalent to later police officers.

The Zhuang team is mainly responsible for guarding key points such as city gates, yamen, warehouses, etc., patrolling urban and rural roads, similar to later armed police.

Each class has its own team leader, and each class has a fixed quota.

However, the so-called third class, even their class leader, actually has no official position. In the county government, the official officials are only county magistrates and county magistrates, some major counties have county magistrates, and some counties have teaching officials. Others have no rank, such as recorders, assistants, etc., and they are just officials.

The official has no rank and is not an official, but the official is considered a formal civil servant.

Below these officials, there are servants. Even the three teams are servants, and the people below can only be considered servants.

For example, in these three squads, there are usually several formal contract workers, while there are actually very few regular staff members in a county. For example, there are only ten formal staff members in Zhangqiu County, and then ten constables in a county of such a large number are definitely not enough. So there are many temporary workers, and each constable has three or four deputy constables around, and then there are arrests and submissions ranging from ten to twenty.

These arrests were all recruited directly from the county government to serve in the service of the people who were recruited directly from the township. They were recruited to serve in turn. They usually served ten days and half a month a year, and had no wages or subsidies, and even had to bring their own dry food.

Compared to the arrests, although the fixed three-squad yamen runners do not have money and food to subsidize these, they are fixed chores and have considerable responsibilities. As the saying goes, if you have power, you will be beneficial. Although you may be a small constable, you may have a lot of opportunities to make money. If you can be a constable, it is also a very powerful and beneficial chore in the countryside.

County Magistrate Zhang directly removed Constable Zhao, and Constable Zhao's face turned blue.

"There are punishments and rewards. Luo Wu, I think you are young, but you are brave and resourceful. Zhao Laosan has been expelled. Why don't you replace him with his vacant vacancies and join the fast class as a constable?"

The clerks of the Sui Dynasty were not as cheap as those of the later dynasties. For example, the clerks of the Sui Dynasty also had the opportunity to be promoted to officials, and the clerks also had the opportunity to join the army. Besides, in this world, who doesn’t know that being an arresting officer actually has many benefits. Not to mention anything else, you can really be a regular yamen runner, and your income is enough to support a whole family, and you can even live a very comfortable life.

The suddenly thrown pie made Luo Feng a little stunned.

He really didn't expect such a thing to happen. Being a constable is not a bad thing. He is always better than an ordinary big-headed person like him. He is already sixteen years old and has to start serving. Even if he is not a constable, he has to take turns to work in the county government every year, which may be to look at the warehouse, or to follow the constable, or to take action with him. Such a constable has no benefit and he has to bring his own dry food.
