Chigang City is on the southwest border of Xilin County, and further south is the boundary of Baichuan County. It took Lin Haoming hurriedly to get here for less than half a month, but now he and his family have been walking around for nearly a month before arriving.
Chigang City. .
As the city judge, Lin Haoming is nominally the number two person in Chigang City. When he comes to take office, normally, even if the city guard doesn't greet him personally, at least the stewards of the sixth house here and the powerful people in the city should come out to greet him. However, when Lin Haoming arrives,
At that time, there were only a dozen or so people.
The leader was a man who looked to be in his thirties, wearing an official uniform. After the carriage arrived, he stepped forward and saluted: "Chigang City Officials' Office, Liu Minggong, the manager of the City Magistrate's Office, welcomes you.
grown ups."
Lin Haoming opened the curtains and did not get out of the carriage. He just stared at the man who claimed to be in charge.
Tianjie prefectures, prefectures, cities, and counties all have Liufang, but the small towns below the county do not have Liufang. They only have governing offices under the Liufang. The leader is called the steward, and the deputy is the director.
Lin Haoming took office today, and the steward of the Lifang Directorate must arrive. However, although Liu Ming said he was here to greet him, his attitude was quite arrogant. Needless to say, this person must be from the Gao family.
In fact, the six houses are located in the six buildings of Chigang City. Except for the household house director who was replaced by someone who is not a member of the Gao family due to previous events, the others are all from the Gao family. Even today I saw the house manager.
He didn't come either. I'm afraid he has drifted with the crowd.
"Manager Liu, I have been traveling all the way so I didn't get out of the car. Please take me directly to my residence!" Since the other party didn't give him face, Lin Haoming didn't intend to give him any face. After all, he had this deep imprint of Jia Kai on him, so he didn't want to at all.
Just let it go.
"Okay!" Liu Ming didn't care about this. After agreeing, he got on a horse and walked ahead.
This is not the first time Lin Haoming has come to Chigang City. The layout of the city is similar to that of Xilin County. The east of the city is where officials live, the west of the city is where the city and some yamen are located, the south of the city is for civilians, and the north of the city is for wealthy households. But for the entire Chigang City,
It is said that almost half of the northern part of the city is owned by the Gao family.
Lin Haoming's City Judge's Mansion is located in the east of the city, closest to the City Guard's Mansion. In fact, the distance between the two is only one avenue.
The city magistrate's office itself is a government office, with offices in the front and residences in the back.
Lin Haoming's carriage stopped at the gate of the government office. At this time, the door of the government office was closed tightly, as if he was not willing to open it for the city magistrate himself.
The City Magistrate does not directly have jurisdiction over the governing offices under Liufang, but it has the responsibility of inspecting Liufang. The subordinate Supervision Office, Patrol Office and People's Assistance Office each have their own managers. (The patrols and patrols here are
The essential difference, don’t be blind to history, many of them are set as reasonably as possible by combining ancient and modern official systems.)
Now that it has just been announced, the direct commander has taken office, but not a single manager has come forward, not even a single employee has come forward. This is obviously a sign of power for Lin Haoming, a newcomer to the city.
"Manager Liu, what's going on?" Lin Haoming got off the carriage and asked, pointing to the closed door.
"I don't know about this either. Although I am the official in charge of Chigang City, I am not in charge of the people in the third city judge department!" Liu Ming spread his hands and made it clear that Lin Haoming would take care of it himself.
Lin Haoming knew that what he said was correct. Except for the county level, Tianjie does not have official positions similar to general judges. There are general judges in other counties, prefectures, and cities, and general judges are appointed by the superiors, and the main subordinate officials are also superiors.
First-level appointment.
"Ye Chuan, knock on the door!" Lin Haoming ordered.
Ye Chuan is a small battalion commander of the City Guards. This time he was ordered to escort Lin Haoming to his post.
The army in the heaven is divided into groups, with a minimum of five people in total, under the jurisdiction of a captain; there are a hundred soldiers under the jurisdiction of a soldier commander; there is a battalion of 3,000 people, under the jurisdiction of a battalion commander, which is divided into left, center, and
Each of the three right battalions has a battalion commander who oversees the camp's 1,000 people; a division of 30,000 people is under the jurisdiction of a division commander, which is further divided into three brigades on the left, middle and right, and each brigade has a brigade commander who oversees the headquarters.
There are 10,000 brigades; there are troops above the divisions, but there is no fixed number. As for military positions and official ranks, they vary according to different armies. For example, the city guard in Xilin County has two brigades of men and horses, but there is no brigade.
This military position has only six garrison battalions and two small patrol battalions of 1,000 people. The highest officer is the commander of the City Defense Department, which is usually an official rank below the eighth grade. As a county secretary, he is one step higher than other yamen.
class.
Ye Chuan, the small battalion commander, was the Zuo battalion commander of one of the six city defense battalions. He was also a Dao Fei realm monk with an official rank below the eighth grade.
It was naturally impossible for Ye Chuan to knock on the door himself, so he immediately called one of his men to go up. After knocking for a long time, no one came out to open the door, which made no one present look good.
At this time, on a small building in the city guard's mansion not far away, a female official looked here and said to Feng Yuzhi, the current city guard of Chigang City: "Sir, are you really not going to come forward? Master Jia sent
Lin Haoming came here obviously intending to deal with the Gao family, but now that the Gao family has given him a blow, and no one is helping him, will he also be angry with you?"
"This is impossible, and even if he takes out his anger on me, am I afraid? My cousin asked me to observe this boy, so I naturally want to take a good look at his abilities. If he can't even handle this intimidation, I don't need to look at him.
Pay attention to him." Feng Yuzhi squinted his eyes and stared there with a faint smile on his lips.
Although Lin Haoming didn't know that Feng Yuzhi was looking at him, when he saw that Feng Yuzhi didn't come out, he knew that this woman was probably also watching him to see if he was worthy enough for her to take action.
"Sir, what should I do?" When Ye Chuan came, Jia Kai specifically told him that after arriving here, there is no need to go back in a hurry. If there is any matter, he will temporarily obey Lin Haoming's instructions. Although he also thinks that things here are difficult, otherwise Jia Kai can't
I would warn you like this, but I didn't expect to encounter such trouble as soon as I arrived.
In fact, it is easy to get in. There are so many people here, so you can just break in. Just smashing the door of the Yamen, not to mention that it is against the law of heaven. More importantly, as a city judge, he actually wants to smash it.
You can only enter your own place through the front door, and I'm afraid it will be a joke to others if word spreads.
Of course, the City Judge's Mansion also has back doors and sides, especially the back door, which is specially used for the entry and exit of Houya City Judge's family, but Lin Haoming is here to take office, so if he goes there, he will be laughed at.
As for leaving, it goes without saying that the newly arrived Judge is helpless against the Gao family. Who would think highly of such a person?
So at this moment, it seems that any choice Lin Haoming makes is not good. Although it is wrong for Shangguan to take office and not to be greeted by people in the yamen, it is not a big mistake. In exchange for a not too big mistake,
This time around, Lin Haoming is going to stumble first no matter what.
