Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

The Tang Dynasty implemented the ward and market system.

"Fang" refers to residential areas, and "Shi" refers to commercial areas.

The two are separated by a wall.

It is opened or closed according to the time of day.

The Song Dynasty changed it to the Xiangfang system.

The walls surrounding residential and commercial areas were demolished.

The city is divided into several areas.

That is, "a certain compartment",

Similar to the "district" of later times.

"Xiangguanzhang" is the same as "District Chief".

Directly under the administration of the prefectural or state government.

The county government attached to the city wall could only govern the suburban areas.

"Xianggongshisuo" is the same as "District Government".

Responsible for civil affairs and justice.

"Patrol station" is equivalent to "police station".

There should be about one per workshop.

He also works part-time in fire department and other related roles.

"Baojia" is similar to "street office" or "neighborhood committee".

These urban management systems,

These were all innovations first created in the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Yuan established the "Five Cities Military Command".

It is above the police station.

Another police station and five branch offices were set up.

Currently, officials in Kaifeng Prefecture, Kaifeng County, and Xiangfu County,

All were selected from former Song Dynasty officials to fill the positions.

But the eight ward chiefs and police chiefs inside and outside Tokyo,

They were all trusted men brought from Sichuan.

The father and son gradually gained control over the city's grassroots level.

Especially those eight district heads,

They were all Zhu Guoxiang's disciples.

Three of them came from Yangzhou, three from Hanzhong, and two from Sichuan.

After they finished serving as ward chiefs in Tokyo,

His next transfer will inevitably be to become a county magistrate.

And the average age.

Only around twenty years old,

The youngest is only seventeen!

Just as the clerk said,

These district heads are stubborn and inflexible.

Knowing he couldn't outsmart the cunning old official...

Everything must be done according to the rules.

Because this set of rules has stood the test of time.

It has already been repaired repeatedly in Hanzhong.

Most of the loopholes that could be plugged have been patched.

Xu Li also scooped up a bowl of thick porridge and sat down.

He wants more fermented black beans.

Several acquaintances gathered around, drinking their porridge and talking.

"Xu Da, you've certainly landed a good job,"

"How did you become the village head?"

Xu Li said irritably, "What's so special about this village head?"

"They're just keeping an eye on your work hours,"

"I can eat one more bowl of porridge,"

"Eat a few more beans,"

"They don't even pay our salaries,"

"If something goes wrong, you'll be held responsible."

"Just keep playing innocent,"

A laborer laughed,

"Who doesn't know? The village head's family went to buy grain,"

"Each person can buy one more bushel."

"Buy vinegar, buy salt, buy cloth, buy charcoal..."

"You can buy anything there, unlike us who have to wait in line."

Speaking of this, Xu Li became happy and said proudly.

"After all, we're practically government employees,"

“Serving the government requires some benefits.”

Another laborer asked,

"When will this grain be available for sale freely?"

Chapter 1673 Ugh...

Xu Li reassured them, "Don't worry."

“I heard from my superiors that,”

"Before the King of Liang left Shandong,"

"They've already started requisitioning grain."

"These were the first few batches transported before the river froze."

"Once the ground thaws in the spring, two more batches will be able to be transported."

"We'll definitely make it through spring,"

"When summer comes, the wheat is harvested,"

"Then we can eat as much as we want!"

"That would be wonderful!"

Another laborer said,

"I saw a young gentleman the other day,"

"His beard hasn't even fully grown yet,"

"I heard he's the head of the second wing on the left."

"Is this true or false?"

Xu Li began to reveal her knowledge.

"That officer's surname is Tian, ​​and he is only seventeen years old this year."

"I heard that when the King of Liang fled..."

"We couldn't even get enough to eat. It was Tian Guanzhang's father who saved some food for us."

"When Tian Guanzhang was studying under the King of Liang,"

"Not even ten years old,"

"Don't let her age of seventeen fool you,"

"But he had already served as an official under the Prince of Liang for several years."

"Could it be that the God of Literature has descended to earth?"

"A twelve or thirteen-year-old can become a public servant?" the laborers exclaimed in astonishment.

Xu Li smiled and said, "That was at the very beginning of King Liang's uprising."

"I don't have enough scholars under my command,"

"The matter of opening and copying official documents,"

“Let those disciples in their teens handle it.”

"These disciples are getting older now,"

"He was then assigned to be the head of the district in Tokyo."

As she spoke, Xu Li said mysteriously,

"I heard it from someone else, these eight regional commanders in Tokyo now,"

"In the future, there will probably be several prime ministers."

"They're only around twenty years old,"

"He's still a disciple of the Emperor; as long as nothing goes wrong,"

"I'm afraid he could become a prefect at the age of thirty."

"By the time they reach their forties or fifties,"

"He will surely become a high-ranking official in the court."

"Isn't becoming prime minister a natural progression?"

"This incredible wealth is a miracle! Their ancestral graves must be emitting auspicious smoke!"

Everyone was envious.

Xu Li said in a low voice, "Many officials from the old dynasty."

"Everyone is asking about those eight officers."

"I've heard that two officers are still unmarried,"

"Matchmakers have to line up outside their house every day to come."

"It's even harder than finding a son-in-law after passing the imperial examinations,"

"There was a fight between matchmakers the other day!"

"I do know about this; Sun San Niang's face was scratched badly,"

She said she was scratched by a cat.

"All the cats in the city have been eaten long ago,"

"Where would a cat go to scratch her?"

"Hahahaha!"
