Case

The two yamen runners mentioned by Duan Xiaopiao should be the two yamen runners who were on duty there before. They were not in the county yamen compilation manual. Meng Dutou also used his powers to let these two juniors take the internship first, and wait until the yamen runners have a vacancy before they can make up for it.

This kind of thing can be hidden from others, but it is not a secret for citizens like Duan Xiaopiao in Haizhou City. As for the county magistrate, Meng County, can't take the airs of official positions in front of these childhood friends. Duan Xiaopiao deliberately used his past official positions to greet him... Meng Du's face changed. He lowered his head and asked softly: "Xiaopiao, after a family was promoted, it seems that he had invited you. At the front of the state yamen, leave some official style for his brother, so don't be arrogant."

The blacksmiths who followed Duan Xiaopiao started to cheer together. Amid the noise, Lin Xiang rescued the county magistrate Meng. He got out of the sedan chair and bowed to the county magistrate Meng. The county magistrate Meng was ashamed of a general amnesty. He quickly threw away the blacksmiths and bowed his hands, looking forward to the other party's words. Unexpectedly, the old Cangtou next to him took the lead and handed over Huang E's father's official post. He didn't say anything, but stood in his hand.

Nothing said can make people feel awe-inspiring—Meng County Magistrate refers to the famous post that makes people feel awe-inspiring: "Mom, it turns out that he is the next Haizhou County Huang Xiang Huang, Lord Huang, should we go to the county government office, or should we go to the state government office first and visit Zhang Zhizhou by the way?"

Lin Xiang blushed and took a step back. Old Cang stepped forward and pointed at Lin Xiang and said, "This is Lord Huang's uncle. Lin Gong is famous for Xiang. Below is Sun, the former manager of the Huang Lin family. We are here today because we have confirmed the identity of Miss Huang E., so we came to the yamen to cancel the case and claim Huang E back home."

County Magistrate Meng looked at Shi Chuan, took a step back, and bowed respectfully: "To be honest with you, the Taohuaguan abduction and trafficking case is no longer under the jurisdiction of the county government. Not long ago, another abduct appeared in Haizhou City. Zhang Zhizhou transferred all the case files, and those files have not been returned to this day."

Lin Xiang casually pointed at the yamen: "Isn't this the state yamen? It's just right."

County Magistrate Meng scratched his forehead in distress. His actions made the solemnity he pretended to have disappeared: "Mom, it's not easy to deal with. The case of Taohuaguan in name was solved by the county, but in the end... Haha, the magistrate is about to leave office. All day long, the drunkard's intention is not about wine, but about the mountains and rivers. The county government officials are not complete, and I am still on duty. I think it's useless to find the county. Why not just find the magistrate. Dalang, you are here just right, I will lead you in to report to the magistrate."

After a little recession, Huang E also got off the carriage. She stepped forward and gave a blessing. Wenwen interrupted: "Meng County Magistrate, there was no big deal when we came to the yamen. We just wanted to make up the procedures in the county. As for whom to find the case of Taohuaguan - who will be in charge of the case at the beginning, we will find who will find the case."

The county magistrate Meng has been a Dutou for decades. Although he is currently the title of a county magistrate, he still has Dutou. He privately said that he felt that he was an "official" and was on the same level as the magistrate, but in fact, his consciousness has not changed at all. For example, he shouldn't have called the magistrate "adult" just now, and he has no superior or subordinate relationship with the magistrate. This title can only show that Meng Dutou's self-consciousness is still positioned as "Dutou".

Who is Huang E? She followed her father to travel around the east, west, south and north since she was a child. When talking about the various techniques and unspoken rules of the officialdom, she was very clear-headed. When she said it with lip service, County Magistrate Meng was a little nervous. Huang E's proposal made him confused. He looked at it one by one, Lin Xiang, the old housekeeper, Shi Chuan, hoping to get a clearer explanation.

Shi Chuan didn't understand the subtle routines of the Song Dynasty officialdom. He opened his eyes wide and stared at Meng County Magistrate, urging the other party to lead the way quickly. His uncle Lin Xiang took the imperial examination all his life, and the officialdom was still an ideal concept in his eyes, and he had only a little understanding of the routines inside.

What Huang E said seems to make sense: the case was originally taken over by Haizhou County. In terms of the case, the case procedures must be handled in Haizhou County - this is called judicial jurisdiction. Although the officialdom emphasizes "the senior official level is crushed to death", and this case file was eventually transferred by the superior magistrate, but it was an "administrative affairs" between the county government and the state government, and had nothing to do with the common people. After she completed the case procedures in the county government, the county government could use the reason that "the state government had not obtained the complete file" to send these documents to the state government - this is the internal matter between the county government and the state government.

The old housekeeper followed Huang E's father for many years, but he knew that Huang E was making a point of reason: the state yamen had taken over all the files, which indicated that the ownership of the case had changed, and they should ask the state yamen to solve the follow-up problems... But the old housekeeper was unwilling to be troublesome. The order he received was to take out the lady, as long as he did this, it would be fine.

It's now the sunny sky, and running around under the sun is not a happy thing. The stupid official in front of him doesn't know the official procedures, and the old housekeeper deliberately does not remind him. He has a stern face and encourages the other party with a urgency.

County Magistrate Meng looked around and was hesitant. When he found out, he was smiling and didn't smile, as if he was saying, "So you are stupider than me." Meng was angry, and the consequences were very serious: "Ahem, since that's the case, this county Magistrate will help you with the case cancellation procedures, and you will follow me."

A smirk appeared on Huang E's lips. When she passed by the old housekeeper, she poked the old housekeeper gently and handed it a warning look. The old housekeeper was wondering, they were here to handle Huang E's procedures, but the stupid official opposite said, "You"... When he saw the wink handed over by Huang E, he vaguely understood.

Old Cangtou hesitated for a moment and decided to obey the lady. Shi Dalang saved the lady, and the case file was clearly written. The two had been together for several months. Shi Dalang had already obtained the identity of "general". In this way, it doesn't matter whether there is such a case-breaking procedure in the government office.

The county magistrate Meng was in high spirits. He picked up his pen and looked around. Huang E stepped forward and chanted the case file verb. The county magistrate Meng did not have his own clerk and felt unable to speak. The case closing statement Huang E recited was like a sleepy encounter with a pillow. He recorded it in turn: "Now, there are people from Jiaxing who wear Shi Changqing, and Huang E from Jiangdu who is from Taohua Temple on March 3, 2016, 2016, and Zhenghe..."

After writing down a flowery statement, County Magistrate Meng felt very satisfied. Without waiting for Lao Cangtou to urge him, he signed his name behind the case, stamped his official seal, and then urged Lao Cangtou to sign with Lin Xiang. At the same time, he sighed silently: "Mom, it turns out that the documents in the yamen are not difficult to write, and it turns out that I can also write copy in the yamen... I am so excited that this document cannot be thrown away. I will ask the secretary (the master) to copy one, and then take it home to show my son - this is the first official document written by his father."

Lao Cangtou took the brush, secretly looked at County Magistrate Meng, and then turned to look at Huang E. Huang E immediately urged him with a wink. So Lao Cangtou picked up the pen and signed the name in the Witness column.

Lin Xiang saw Lao Cangtou signing, but he didn't say anything. He took the pen and signed it in the witness column.

Document establishment: Huang E... was considered an independent citizen of the Song Dynasty.

Of course, only Huang E and Shi Peng were still "case evidence".

Huang E stood under the steps with a relaxed look, smiled and asked the County Magistrate Meng: "Mr. I don't know if there is an available room in Haizhou City's 'Household Cebu'. My father meant that I would temporarily live in Haizhou City and wait for him to take office... Since he sent Lao Cangtou here in advance, I might as well rent a room for my father. If I have nothing to do, I can set it up so that my father can have a residence as soon as he arrives in Haizhou City?"

"Yes... Mom, our Haizhou city is small, and the 'Househousing and Cebu' is basically managed by the state government office, but the county government office also has several rooms for rent. Oh, our county government office is not fully qualified. The 'Househousing and Cebu' has no full-time official, but the 'Money-looting and Crown Office' is in charge of the house. I called him. Since he was the next magistrate who wanted to rent a house, of course he had to take out the best house."

Household management was the low-rent houses of the Song Dynasty. Since the Song Dynasty, the urban class began to emerge and the urbanization process began. The government considered that the villagers had nowhere to live in the city, so it set up a low-rent house system, using the open space in the hands of local government offices to build some civilian houses for farmers or urban poor to live in.

Of course, the imperial court set up this "household and housekeeping" system not purely with kindness, but also effective considerations - street stalls who traveled around the streets in the Song Dynasty called "travel shops", and the imperial court did not impose taxes on street stalls. But if you have a fixed residence and a fixed stall, you are a businessman, and you are a taxpayer. The imperial court used empty land in the city to build houses and rented them to street stalls at a low price, hoping that the street stalls could become formal taxpayers.

Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin originally established this low-rent housing system to expand tax sources. However, after two hundred years of establishment of the Song Dynasty, the affairs of the State Administration of China will eventually become a powerful one. Today, the "House Cebu" has gradually become a rental system for officials and scholars - that is, a rental system for the middle class.

In ancient times, officials were all officials from other places, and their performance exams were called "Makan". In theory, "Makan" had excellent results. Officials might be transferred to the next prefecture and county. These officials who took their families to a new place and had to resign after three years. Therefore, in ancient times, officials generally did not purchase real estate in the area where they were not worth it, and they were even more suspected of being greedy for bribery. The Song Dynasty rarely greedy for bribery because Zhao Kuangyin established a "mutual supervision system for officials and officials". When the juren took the exam, they had to be recommended. Once the recommended person was embezzled, the recommender and his current boss would be implicated.

In this case, the superiors would first oppose any suspicion of bribery by subordinates, and the housekeeping services provided by the imperial court just met some of the needs of officials to "serve in other places". By the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, housekeeping had become a mixture of "special guesthouses for officials" and "low-rent houses" system.

"Special tricks", that is, the "home" in the cabin, are not for external purposes, and only entertain officials to live temporarily.

The "middle house" in Cebu is equivalent to an ordinary guesthouse or youth hostel, with a unique courtyard, complete furniture, and kitchen and bathroom. You can rent it and make your own fire and cook, and live your own life behind closed doors. Of course, its rent is also welfare-oriented, and urban poor can afford it.

The "lower room" owned by Zui Cebu is purely a simple single-room dormitory, which is specially open to students who come to the city to take the exam and "sacrifice" who study in middle schools. Occasionally, big vendors borrow it to settle down. If you talk about monthly rent, it is cheaper than inns.
