    Not only do the door knockers of government offices and county offices differ, the more obvious difference is in the lobby.

    For example, the lobby of Kunshan County has three rooms, while the lobby of Chaozhou Prefecture has seven rooms.  The roof ridges are made of tiles, and the beams, pillars, and eaves are painted in green.

    The government office lobby is also located on a four-foot-high bluestone foundation and is equipped with three-level steps. Then there are three-level steps in front of the platform in front of the hall, showing the standard and majesty of a government official hall.

    In the lobby, on both sides of the public case, there are also ceremonial guards such as "Silence" and "Avoidance", as well as the official title plaque of Mr. Zhao.

    Although Mr. Zhao¡¯s Tongzhi had fewer honor guards than the prefect, the sign that said ¡®Wuchen Number One Scholar¡¯ was worth more than countless flags, fans and umbrellas.

    Speaking of which, Liu Rugao brought this brand to me the day before yesterday.  When Mr. Zhao came to Chaozhou to defend the city before, he saw that all the official sedan chairs and ceremonial guards were stored at his place.

    Liu Rugao originally wanted to take the opportunity of returning the honor guard to admit his mistake to Mr. Zhao in private.  But he didn't know that something was really wrong with Zhao Shouzheng, and he didn't want to see him yet. In short, he didn't see his Gui Tongniang until today.

    Seeing Mr. Zhao sitting in front of the screen full of pictures of sea water, river cliffs, clouds and geese, with the glittering aura of the protagonist all over his body, Liu Rugao wanted to slap himself twice. Why is he so blind?

    ??~~

    Qin Shunhan, Huang Yilong, and Liu Rugao are the only three Jinshi among the ten county magistrates.

    Most of the remaining six county magistrates were born in Juren. Even Ye Chaozhen, the magistrate of Huilai County, was born in Suigong Supervisor

    "Compared to the county magistrates of Su and Song Prefectures, who all had the same background as Jinshi, they were indeed not the least bit shabby.

    When the Literary and Selection Department of the Ministry of Personnel arranges officials, it is not a fool's errand.  Basically, from the configuration of officials, we can see the importance of this area and the difficulty of becoming an official.

    As mentioned before, the best conditions in the entire Chaozhou Prefecture are in the Hanjiang Plain where the prefecture is located.  The land here is fertile, the people are docile and obedient to the king, and taxes are high and there is little trouble.  Therefore, the two counties of Haiyang and Raoping located here have always had officials with Jinshi background as county magistrates.

    But later, the Japanese pirates were raging along the coast and pirates invaded frequently, which made the two counties uneasy. The Jinshi officials who went to experience the situation frequently stumbled.  For a time, he was regarded as a fearful path by the new scholars.

    The Ministry of Personnel¡¯s approach to solving this problem is quite similar to the reform of state-owned enterprises in later generations.  If you can't solve the problem, you can cut through it.  Since it is the coastal part of the two counties and has brought all kinds of troubles, then we should divest the negative assets.

    So, in the 42nd year of Jiajing, the coastal parts of the two counties and part of Jieyang County were merged to form Chenghai County.  It means "clarifying the sea atmosphere", allowing Chenghai County to take on the important task of coastal defense and protect the Hanjiang Plain behind it.

    Haiyang and Raoping, who went into battle lightly, became popular among new scholars.  As for Chenghai County, which was responsible for withstanding the attacks from pirates, it was natural that those inferior crossed out and be replaced by the experienced and prudent Jurenjiansheng.  Therefore, since the establishment of the county in Chenghai, the four magistrates have all promoted people, and the current magistrate Cai is no exception.

    As for the three counties of Chengxiang, Dabu and Pingyuan, they are all in the mountainous area in northern Chaozhou. Together with the adjacent Fujian in southern Jiangxi, they formed the famous Central Soviet Area in later generations.

    Our party originally selected this area because it is particularly suitable for revolution.  In this era, there were daily battles between locals and foreigners. Films would start at the slightest disagreement, and the county town was captured several times.

    Teng Biaozhang, the magistrate of Pingyuan County, and Yan Ruoyu, the previous magistrate of Chengxiang County who are here, were both kidnapped by the rebels and taken to the mountains.  The latter was detained for half a year before being redeemed by the government.

    After being released, the Yanzhi County magistrate who survived the disaster did not even enter the county seat. He wrote a resignation letter and ran back to his hometown overnight.  I won¡¯t do it no matter how much money I pay

    Teng Biaozhang had better luck. He was kidnapped for less than ten days. He showed affection and reason to the rioters and asked them to let him go.  The court saw that he was a good guy and had good popularity, so he let him take root in the mountains and valleys of Pingyuan County and stayed there for eight years.

    It is conceivable that no official with a Jinshi background is willing to risk his or her life to go to these four counties to go into the ravines. Therefore, these three county magistrates have always been dedicated to the judiciary and supervision of students.

    The remaining four counties, Chaoyang, Jieyang, Huilai and Puning, have better natural environments.

    Especially Chaoyang County, located in the Lianjiang Plain, has a large area of ??cultivated land, but it is far away from the jurisdiction of Chaozhou Prefecture and is close to the sea.  In this era, being close to the sea is synonymous with chaos.  In fact, it was not bad at first, otherwise a Jinshi would not be sent to be the county magistrate.

    ¡°But damn, there are unforeseen circumstances. Last year, the imperial court recruited Lin Daoqian, who was entrenched in Xidong Village, Chenghai County.  In order to avoid his threat to the outlet of Hanjiang River, the Jin gentry in Fucheng who killed thousands of people actually went around the province and placed Lin Daoqian in Chaoyang County!

    &nb?Receive autumn grain of 293,000 shi!  I don¡¯t know whether to be proud or cry

    ¡°It shows how bad the situation in our counties in Chaozhou is¡­¡± several magistrates sighed.

    "This is a good thing." Mr. Zhao imitated his son's mantra and comforted everyone: "A low starting point means there is a lot of room for progress, and the burden on farmers is light."

    "After a pause, he smiled again and said: "We people have a light burden. You don't know that when we were in Kunshan, what I and my colleagues were most worried about was how to get the lowest level of imperial rations"

    He is just talking nonsense to comfort people.  Every year, the Kunkaisi family takes 70% of Kunshan County's imperial grain, and the remaining 30% can be collected at will.  In the next two years, there was too much money in the county treasury, and he also launched a tax refund activity As long as people voluntarily paid tax and grain to the county before the deadline, they could get half the value of the grain.  consumption coupons.

    Is it possible to burn the bag in disguise and reduce the tax of the people in disguise. Is it impossible to collect taxes?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
