The next morning, Du Zhongxiao changed into his public uniform early and prepared to go to the prefecture office to paint the prefecture. Han Yueniang sent it to the door and whispered: "Since the prefecture minister does not allow you to deal with official business these days, go and paint the post and come back early. We are here for the first time, and there are many things to do."

Du Zhongxiao smiled and said, "I naturally care. I am a subordinate and a newcomer, so these things are not easy to neglect."

After saying that, he took Chai Xin and two platoons, and did not ride horses and headed towards the state yamen not far away.

After entering the prefecture yamen, he went straight to the chief official hall. When he arrived at the place, the prefect Han Yi and the magistrate Liu Ji were not there, and only a few public officials were there to deal with official documents while chatting. Du Zhongxiao drew a ban and came to the capital hall.

The three most important places for office work in the prefecture, the chief officials of the prefecture and the chief officials of the Tongzong, and Du Zhongxiao and other officials must come to check if there are any orders for the two chief officials. Han Yi served as the prefecture as a senior official of the Secretariat of the Secretariat, and basically ignored the common affairs. Liu Ji not only set up the Tongzong Hall, but also worked here together. The other is the chief officials of the judge, the chief officials who handled affairs on a daily basis, also known as the envoy. The origin of the governors of the late Tang and Five Dynasties was the place where Du Zhongxiao worked on a daily basis. There is also a place where officials such as the chief officials of the army were in charge, called the provincial court. As the name suggests, the origin of the former prefecture and county officials. The chief officials did not need to go to the chief officials' office to check, and government affairs were mostly handled by them.

The local system of the Song Dynasty originated from the Tang Dynasty and was clearly divided into two parts. One was the officials of the prefectures and counties that followed the Sui Dynasty, and the other was the officials of the Guzheng system that followed the late Tang Dynasty. However, the officials of the Guzheng no longer managed the military and political affairs. The officials of the Caozheng were the main body, and the officials of the Guzheng were supplementary. In terms of status, the officials of the Guzheng were higher than those of the Caozheng, and they had the functions of checking and reviewing.

The capital department is a place where state-level officials work together, and it is managed by the daily registration. On holidays, the magistrate is on duty here because most of the official documents here need to be magistrate and magistrate. Du Zhongxiao's prosecutor belongs to this system, but he has his own office location next to him, as long as he comes to write and walk around every day. The so-called gathering of officials is actually mainly because of their subordinates, and people cannot be cut off here every day.

When they arrived at the capital hall, they paid a visit to Zhao Yan, and after drawing a ban, they sat there.

Zhao Yan said: "In recent days, the two biggest things in the state are: one is to collect autumn grains, and the other is the transportation of the Bian River. This year, the lucky one is that the grains are abundant, and the autumn grains are harvested in time, so there is no need to worry. Now autumn is the last time the grain is shipped, and the transportation of the Bian River is serious. The Bian Canal passes through this prefecture in Yongcheng, which is far away from the prefecture city. Every year, the prefecture officials will be in charge. A few months ago, Tan Tuan was appointed as the chief secretary, and the prefecture was in a hurry to mourn. The manpower in the prefecture is too short. You are here at the right time. If you spend a few days in the prefecture city, you will have to go to Yongcheng."

Du Zhongxiao bowed: "But he ordered the order based on the signature."

Zhao Han nodded and sighed, "You are a young man, and supervision of the canal transportation is of great importance. Don't take it lightly. I will send powerful officials here to you, and you must not make any mistakes. There are many people on both sides of the Bian River that do not work on farming and food on all the food transport, and there are many idle people. If you are in charge, you must be careful and decisive. If you violate the law and harm the people, do it as soon as possible."

Du Zhongxiao listened quietly and nodded from time to time. Of course, he didn't want to do anything. He was sent a hundred miles away shortly after he came to Bozhou. It was not a good thing to take on important tasks. It was just that among the officials in the office, he had the lowest position, so this kind of task would of course fall on his head.

While the two were chatting, a 50-year-old official came to salute.

Zhao Yan said to Du Zhongxiao: "This is the official Jin Shuzhao of Kongmu. He has always been the main body of the office and is very diligent in doing things. Originally, the state cannot live without him. I miss you when you first come and let him be with you. He has been an official for many years and is familiar with all kinds of affairs. If you have anything to do, please give it to him."

Jin Shuzhao hurriedly saluted Du Zhongxiao.

The promotion hall is not the place where Du Zhongxiao does things, but refers to the officials engaged in criminal prisons, which are in contrast to the legal department of the state court. If there is no verdict or judge in the state, the provincial department will be in charge of the office. At that time, it is called the promotion hall, which is the territory of the promotion hall.

Jin Shu summoned the ceremony and stood aside, saying to Du Zhongxiao: "The officials' entourage has been arranged in the state. The young one asked them to wait in the promotion room next to them, and wait for the officials to come over and talk to him."

There are many public officials in the prefecture, generally divided into two types: yamen front and human officials. Yamen front is mainly responsible for various official affairs, especially official affairs related to official affairs. It has a heavy responsibility and requires a wealthy family to serve as a member. Among them, there are officials' entourages, and Du Zhongxiao's promotion officers are based on seven people.

After talking to Zhao Yan, after eating a few cups of tea, a tall and strong man came in and sang a promise in front of Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan pointed to this person and said to Du Zhongxiao: "This is the coach Lin Jian, who often escorts official goods to Beijing. This year, the Gang rice has been ordered to be escorted by coach Lin, and we will go to Yongcheng with you in a few days."

Lin Jian already knew that he was going to Bianhe with the new promoter, so he quickly turned around and sang a promise to Du Zhongxiao with his hands.

Du Zhongxiao saw Lin Jian very strong, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and had countless strength. He was a brave warrior and nodded secretly.

Escorts to the main things is a difficult task. Once they are lost, the escort officer will compensate them, and many people will lose their money. It is believed that coach Lin was able to escort many times because of this. Lin Jian was the coach in front of the state yamen, so he was called the coach, which actually had nothing to do with the coach.

The yamen originated from the late Tang and Five Dynasties. At that time, most of them were high-powered military officers. After entering the Song Dynasty, they became public officials, but their original names were retained, so many names sounded quite intimidating, such as military envoys, coach envoys, mountain and river envoys, etc. If you don’t know, when you hear that the military envoys in this province are easily mistaken for being a big man, but in fact they are just an official. In the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, they often use surnames and official positions to name each other, and learn from the people, because many low-level minor officials originated from the previous dynasty, and they are more prestigious than many officials, so that the people often call them higher than officials. Even these officials even issued official reports, whose names are the same as those of officials, and even the public officials are more famous than the prime minister, which is also a scene.

The city hall was full of people and eyes, and the officials from various departments came and went, handling various official affairs. Du Zhongxiao talked to Zhao Yan for a while, and saw that he was busy with official duties and was inconvenient to disturb him, so he said goodbye and left.

The judge is the busiest person in the state yamen. Many magistrates and are not good directors, and they hand over the state affairs to the judge. In comparison with Du Zhongxiao's previous life, this is the general office of the state. The judge serves as the director of the office and the secretary general, as well as many other miscellaneous positions. The affairs of a state are almost everything, and they are planned to be preliminary opinions from him before they are handed over to the magistrate and the magistrate to sign. After becoming a judge, he is very familiar with local affairs. The magistrate is the subordinate and reserve of the judge. If the judge does not take matters, the magistrate will be in charge of the ministry.

After saying goodbye to Zhao Yan, Du Zhongxiao rubbed his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief. In his previous life, he always felt that the officials in ancient times were easy to be a good person and had no business work. When he was free, he just wanted to drink and listen to his subordinates' reports and give him a few instructions. Only after he did it himself did it, he realized that it was far from that. Many officials in a state could do the same thing, but he had many subordinates under his command. The price of the state's leisure was that these officials were doing their own life.

Han Yi is already old and has the meaning of retirement. He does not interfere in the affairs of the state. In this way, the judge and the procurator are particularly busy. When Du Zhongxiao arrived, he arranged for him to go to Yongcheng to supervise the transportation of the Bian River, and there was no room for negotiation at all.
