Fanyang County was not considered small in this era, but it was only a little over eight miles long and less than six miles wide, of which the inner city accounted for three-tenths.
"Mencius Gongsun Chouxia" mentions a city of three miles and a country of seven miles.
In this era, city construction had its own standards or persistence. The general structure of city construction was based on the city of three miles and the wall of seven miles. The inner city was called the city and the outer city was called the wall. The ratio of inner and outer cities was generally three miles of city and seven miles of wall.
As a city in a county, Fanyang County is naturally larger than this standard, but the ratio of the inner city to the outer city is the same.
After going around in a circle, as the morning was almost over, Wang Junlin returned to the county government office and asked Chief Shi Liu Ziming to immediately send a message to summon all the officials currently on duty in the county government for a meeting!
In this era, it was actually more convenient and faster to convene people for meetings than in later generations when provincial governments held meetings by notifying them in advance or calling various ministries and offices one by one. The drums with a special rhythm sounded, and officials of all sizes hurriedly threw their hands away.
Stop what you are doing, or stop to drink tea, stop bragging and chatting, look solemn, stand up, tidy up the official affairs seriously, and stride to the main hall.
Every county official looked dignified, wearing official uniforms and official hats, filing into the house to pay homage to the king.
I saw Wang Junlin wearing a high crown and purple clothes, complete with seals and ribbons, sitting high on the throne. Next were the chief historian Liu Ziming and the general guard Sun Yang who had been in Fanyang County for more than ten years. Shan Xiongxin and Zhang Tiangang each led a team.
The guards wearing armor and holding swords stood at the door with their chests raised and their heads raised, looking majestic. The officials who came looked at them and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
This is the first time that Wang Junlin has summoned county officials to a meeting since he took office. The officials who came did not know what he wanted to do, and they secretly speculated. Unfortunately, Wang Junlin had no expression on his face, and no wave in his eyes. No one could see anything at all.
Information.
After the officials came in, they paid homage to each other one by one. After that, they each found a place to stand in an orderly manner, bending down and hanging their hands, standing in several rows in the hall.
"There are also many officials in the county government office."
Wang Junlin glanced at everyone one by one. Although these people had gone to greet him outside the city on the first day he came, in total, he had only met
Although they met only once, Wang Junlin still generally remembered the names, official positions and appearances of some major officials.
Wang Junlin, the prefect, was the third rank, and Liu Ziming's long history was from the fourth rank, which is equivalent to a combination of the secretary-general and the office director in later generations, or the senior assistant of the prefect. In many cases, he represented the prefect and was regarded as the prefect's
The tongue is also the first executor of the prefect's will. Therefore, the power depends on the prefect. If the prefect trusts the governor and completely delegates power, the chief historian in a county is equivalent to one person under one person and hundreds of thousands of people. But if the governor
If you don't trust someone, or you don't have enough ability, you may be reduced to the role of a secretary or aide.
Tongshou and Changshi are at the same level, both from the fourth rank, and are called deputy governors of a county, equivalent to deputy governors in later generations. Everyone knows that no matter what era, the power of a deputy depends on the individual's ability and the trust of the official.
, in short, it depends on whether the official position gives power.
Now Fanyang County is guarding Sun Yang. Wang Junlin has already secretly investigated. He is one of the few nobles in Fanyang County besides the Lu family. He is considered a middle-class noble in the entire Sui Dynasty. He is married to top nobles such as the Lu family.
Sun Yang's wife is the daughter of the Lu family.
After Yang Guang ascended the throne as emperor, he tried every means to get people from powerful families out of the court. The effect was good at the county and county levels. At least now, the Lu family is among the senior officials at the county and Yingyang levels.
There are no more people from the Lu family, and Sun Yang is considered to be the largest official of the Lu family in Fanyang County. This old thief has a very respectful attitude towards Wang Junlin, speaks impeccably, and does everything Wang Junlin orders.
, never dragging, at least on the surface there is no problem.
There are four positions under Tongshou and Changshi, namely Zanwu, County Lieutenant, Deputy County Lieutenant, and County Cheng. Except for the Deputy County Lieutenant, who is a subordinate of the sixth rank, the other three are full-sixth-rank official positions.
Zanwu can also be regarded as the chief assistant of the prefect. He is responsible for people's household registration, taxation, and grain accumulation. He has considerable power. Wang Junlin gave this position to Du Ruhui.
In addition, the county lieutenant mainly commands the 500 soldiers directly under the county government. Wang Junlin is going to let Shan Xiongxin take over this position. The deputy county captain will be left vacant for now. Of course, although the county government can directly control the 500 soldiers, there are still 500 soldiers under the direct control of the county government.
Due to various reasons, the prefects of various counties secretly ordered the soldiers to go to the palace with more than 500 soldiers.
There are people here, and Wang Junlin has no intention of sticking to the old rules. If the number should be expanded, it will be expanded. Of course, the extra soldiers and generals will have to pay for themselves.
The county magistrate is the prisoner and the concubine, which is equivalent to the combination of the secretary of the political and legal committee and the director of the public security department in later generations. Today's county magistrate is called Cui Gao. Unlike Cui Shijie, the magistrate of Gu'an who was supported by Wang Junlin, Cui Shijie comes from the Boling Cui family.
Gao is from the Cui family of Qinghe, one of the seven sects and five surnames, and he is a direct descendant. He is not very old, in his early thirties, and he just took office last year.
Under the Zanwu, County Lieutenants, Deputy County Lieutenants, and County Magistrates, there are nearly ten officials of various sizes, including those specializing in mountains and seas, municipal taxes and trade, fields, livestock, and industry, etc., with official grades ranging from the eighth grade to the sixth grade.
Regardless of grade, they are all at the direct disposal of the prefect.
In addition to the tribunals and the two or three auxiliary officers each, the total number is more than 20.
Naturally, Wang Junlin had already sent people to investigate the information of these people, and knew that they were all nobles. The difference was just the family, big nobles, middle nobles and small nobles. Among these people, there were four people named Lu who were related by marriage to the Lu family.
There are six people, and there are five people who have close contacts with the Lu family. In this way, except for the people brought by Wang Junlin, every official is likely to listen to the Lu family, or be influenced by the Lu family. In the end,
At least the news will be circulated.
Therefore, in such a conference, Wang Junlin naturally could not say anything secret, otherwise as soon as he finished speaking, someone would quickly send every word he said to the desk of Lu Bian, the leader of the Lu family.
The purpose of meeting today was just to get acquainted with these people further, and to get to know their background. Wang Junlin cleared his throat first, and talked about the importance that the Sui Dynasty with Yang Guang at its core attached to Fanyang County, and then talked again.
Talking about the achievements of Fanyang County in the past, he also praised everyone present. Finally, Wang Junlin allowed everyone to speak freely. Each of them talked about the work they were responsible for, mainly talking about the major tasks completed last year and the achievements.
What are your achievements, what are your shortcomings, and what are you going to do this year...
When had these people ever held such a meeting? In addition to the novelty, they all looked at each other and secretly guessed. They always felt that the governor must have a deep meaning in doing this, so you pushed me around, and no one dared to speak first.
