Outside the east gate of Gong County, under a big willow tree, several public officials surrounded the water raised from Xin's well and wiped their faces.

Tan Jiewei smashed the wet cloth into the basin and said angrily: "The magistrate and the magistrate didn't know what crazy he was going on. He suddenly asked the yamen to be our job and sent us out to collect taxes and supervision. Is this kind of errand done by people?"

On the one hand, Sun Liudao said: "Don't worry about the festival level. We just go to the ferry and take a look at the Pavilion and Post. There is more or less taxes, and there is no fixed quota. This job is not as good as being distracted in the county!"

Tan Jie Li snorted: "We are officials and do errands as public servants. How can we be respected in the future?"

Public officials are collectively known, but in fact, public officials are different from officials. Public officials come from the names of private households, such as stagnant, special deputy, Douzi and Kuzi, etc., and specializes in doing something. Officials are in the county government, helping officials to handle political affairs. Those with high status are like siege officials, hand divisions and letters, and from urging taxes to handling criminal prisons, county governments give everything. These officials initially also come from tax households under their rule. As political affairs become more complex, laws become more and more stringent, and the professionalism of political affairs becomes stronger and stronger, important officials in the county gradually become professionals. Low-level officials, such as handpower, miscellaneous positions, archers, etc., are roles for people to use, but still come from middle and upper-class households under their rule.

Tan Jie's level is a branch, and except for a few officials in the county, his status is only lower than that of the two officials. He is proficient in officials and is familiar with the people of the rule. The previous magistrates all rely on their arms and are as busy as fish in Gong County. After Wang Anshi arrived, he was relatively cold to the officials in the county. He was doing everything in public and never allowed these people to do their own private affairs.

Officials are most afraid of officials. Once officials do not have private requests, officials will have no way to start with officials. In terms of official affairs, officials hold the absolute power to reward and punish officials. If they really want to punish anyone, there is no possibility of resisting. This time it is clear that Wang Anshi is not satisfied with the sales of official businesses operated by officials and needs to change to another group of people.

Which cat doesn't steal fish? The officials are not treated well, have no future, and have great power in their hands, so it is natural to seek personal gain. Tan Jiewei is worried about this. He collected a lot of money in several restaurants in the county and sold a restaurant in a prosperous area to his cousin at a low price. The county investigated it, but the consequences were very bad.

After talking for a while, Tan Jiejie walked aside and said to a short black man leaning against the tree and closing his eyes to rest: "Song Aishi, what should we do about this matter? You have an idea. Which of the yamen in charge of the restaurants and residences has not offended? Now those birds in charge of power will inevitably bring us up our old accounts! We are both angry and we have the same affair. If something happens, no one can escape!"

Song Aisi didn't even raise his eyelids and said lazily: "At the level of the festival, you are also an old man in the county. After so many storms, why can't you hold on so much? Humph, do you think the previous magistrates loved us, so they didn't give us anger? The officials are all the same! Those magistrates knew in their hearts that without us, they wouldn't be able to sit still!"

Tan Jie Li listened to it and hurriedly bowed: "Can you please tell me more carefully? Resolve my confusion?"

Song Aisi straightened up, took a wet cloth towel handed over by hand, wiped his face and said, "The summer is hot, but it has passed in a few days. The festival level is coming soon after autumn, and the summer tax will be confiscated. Without our efforts, the county can collect it?"

After saying that, Song Aishi just sneered and threw the wet cloth wiped across his face aside.

Tan Jiejie thought about it, and after the rain on his face, he nodded with a smile. Now, the first priority is money and grain. Can the summer and autumn taxes be collected? Do you owe the money from the above? If you can't do this, the tenth** is a dismissal.

What does tax collection rely on? Relying on the yamen runners who are like tigers and wolves to go to the countryside to force collection? Not to mention that the magistrate who wants to do that will be punished quickly, even if he wants to do this era, he will not be able to do it. After tax collection comes, the three departments will not only need physical goods, but also account books. How much money and grain collected, which people collected, and what regulations are collected, these contents are indispensable. If the money and physical goods are not met, whether it is collected too much or less, the officials who handle it will be punished. Therefore, the taxes in prefectures and counties have a passing line, usually 90%, and in some places there will be even fewer. As long as it reaches 90%, the local government will complete the task and no longer ask for payment, and the extra collection will be considered additional political achievements.

The complexity of various official documents in the Song Dynasty was unprecedented in ancient times. From the central government to the local government, countless clerks were needed.

In the county-level tax collection, the first important thing is to register various books for tax household assets, and the second is to collect taxes according to books. In a county, "books are the foundation of wealth, and wealth comes from books, just like crops come from fields."

The books registered by these tax households were all established by the county's guards and divisions, as well as the rural clerks. Without them, most local counties could not collect taxes at all, and officials could not continue to do so.

This is the reliance of the county officials. If several county officials want to continue doing it and have a future, they cannot offend the officials below to death. Otherwise, everyone will be separated and no one will be able to fall.

Song Aishi stood up, Tan Jiewei hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and said humbly: "It turns out that Aishi had already made a decision, no wonder he was so calm and composed. The magistrate is like a black-faced king of hell. This time he is so sorry to make him suffer!"

"After reading a few books, I became a Jinshi, and then I thought I could do the best. Humph," Song Aisi shook his head, "I am still too young, am very ambitious, and do whatever I want. If I am a mature person, I will naturally know how to offend us people after autumn! This year's summer tax revenue cannot be raised, it depends on how he explains it! It is not uncommon for a Jinshi to lose his future!"

"Yes, yes, what the Ai Shi said! This is the old and conspiring country! The magistrate and the prime minister said that this spring exam was originally going to win the top scorer, but he was taken away by the top scorer because of the inappropriate sentence in the article."

Song Aishi said: "Hmph, I don't know that the sky is high and the earth is strong! We will teach him this time and let him have a better understanding!"

The officials and officials agreed, but they all suffered a lot from the fact that the magistrate and the minister of the county magistrate must have suffered some hardship this time.

He helped Song Ai Si to the shade of the tree and sat down, Tan Jiewei said: "Ai Si, everyone must work together to do this. I wonder what Zhang Ai Si said? If he was recruited by the magistrate, we would have to sit on wax."

Song Aishi couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "You guys are still shallow! Not bad. I have many conflicts with Zhang Aishi in daily life, and there are many times when there is a disagreement. But when is it now? We officials and people cannot work together, and no one will have a good life in the future! If Zhang Aishi even understood this principle, how could he call the wind and rain in Gong County for so many years? Don't worry, I have already agreed with Zhang Aishi to let go of the grudges before, and I will talk about it after passing this difficulty!"

Everyone applauded and said, as long as the two guards work together, there will be no more difficult things in Gong County. The magistrate and the minister had a whim and wanted to touch the officials and suffered some hardships. Only when officials and officials were helped each other can the affairs of the court be done well. This is the two legs of the county's political affairs, and it is impossible to miss one of them.
