Li An does not recognize the work method of the county magistrate, nor does he feel that the county magistrate is superior, and even feels that this guy is lazy and not a qualified county magistrate, but Li An did not go because of these Blame the county magistrate.

Because he knows very well that not everyone is as good as himself, and he ca n’t have too high a requirement for the county-level lieutenant. Moreover, the county lieutenant is a very difficult profession, and it ’s easy to offend the Person’s occupation, even Scholar full of justice like Du Fu, is not willing to do the work of county magistrate, so it can be seen that this work is difficult and unpredictable, if it is not done well To blame him will make the county lieutenant feel chilly, and casually encourage him, but it can have better results.

The county officer of Wenchuan County is a middle age person older than Li An. It is no longer one or two times to be blamed by his boss. I ’m used to it. This time accompanied Li An to the ancestral tomb of Zhao Family Village, and his heart was 7 up to 8 down, fearing that he was badly done and was reprimanded, but he did not expect that Li An was so approachable, not at all to blame him for his bad work, but to help him everywhere, explaining to him when Chen Long made sarcasm, this made him absolutely not expect that his heart was grateful to Li An, and a heartfelt admiration was born. .

This is a heartfelt admiration and a huge affirmation of Li An ’s personality charm. Just such a small act of good will conquered the county captain of Wenchuan County. This is the great charm of Li An ’s personality. People have to acknowledge the charm of allegiance.

“Minister Li, but there is a need, humble responsibilities must spare no effort.”

The county captain of Wenchuan County suddenly said excitedly, which seemed a little abrupt, so eager to show loyalty, it felt strange.

Next to Chen Long’s unconscious curl one’s lip, while Li An is indifferently smiled, he is quite proud.

The county town of Wenchuan County is located on a small plain. Although the area of ​​this small plain is not large, it is already the largest small plain within 10 li of Wenchuan County. It is also a river. A plain is a plain that has been hit by Wenshui all the year round. Such a plain is very low in height and does not differ much from the height of the river. Once it encounters a large flood, there will be a crisis of being flooded, even a thick city Wall can’t protect the houses and 100 surnames inside.

Of course, the city is located in such a location, which also has great advantages, that is, it is relatively more convenient to draw water, and people ’s lives are inseparable from the water source. Living in a place where water is very convenient is naturally very convenient. As long as there is no flood, everything is fine, and the flood will naturally not occur frequently, otherwise, the county town here will no longer exist, and no fool will build the county town in a place where frequent floods occur, that is not courting death ?

Wenchuan County is a relatively remote county in the middle of Shu, with neither population nor economy. Therefore, the scale and level of the county town are conceivable. From a distance, it is a very small county town, less than 3 miles long. The width is only 2 miles, and the area of ​​later generations is 2 or 2 square kilometers, which is a very small county town. The height of the city wall is also very ordinary, only twice the height of people. It is stone and mud It ’s built with stones in it, which increases the firmness of the city wall. The ordinary city walls are mostly piled up with dirt. County towns that add a lot of stones like this are rare. This is mainly because Wenchuan County is a mountainous area, and there is no shortage of stones. As many stones as you want can be picked up by you. Naturally, you wo n’t be stingy with stones when building a city. Anyway, you do n’t need money for stones. That’s it.

“Xianwei, how is the law and order in Wenchuan County? What about mean people who resort to petty tricks? Is there a bandit that can’t be destroyed?”

Li An asked, opening the conversation and making the atmosphere softer.

Wenchuan County Lieutenant quickly replied: “Back to Minister Li, our public security in Wenchuan County is pretty good, mean people who resort to petty tricks are inevitable, but not many, most of them are simple farmers and hunters, and thieves seem to have , But they are all climactic little thieves, 3 5 people hide in the mountains, robbing passing pedestrians from time to time, sometimes they will wander to Linxian to rob, and we really do n’t have any good way, even if we search every day I ca n’t find the mountains! Every time I go into the mountains, I run in vain. Fortunately, there is not much harm. These few thieves will not hurt people ’s lives. ”

After talking about the helplessness, it seems that his work has not been done well, and it is impossible to see Li An and other officials.

Li An also understands this very well. After all, Wenchuan is in a mountainous area, surrounded by endless mountains. It is really easy to hide people. If a few 100 or a few 1000 people are not easy to hide, 3 or 5 people are still very good. Hidden, it ’s easy to hide and people ca n’t find it. With dozens of bureaucrats in a county, trying to find a little hairy thief in a huge mountain can only be a matter of luck. In general, it ’s really not easy turn up.

Although later generations can often find little hairy thieves who have fled into the mountains, the situation is not the same as that of Great Tang. One is that the manpower is simpler and sufficient. They often use the huge power of several thousand to ten thousand people to find a person. In addition, the technology is also quite developed. You can use drones to conduct investigations in the air, and the chance of finding thieves naturally increases greatly.

Wenchuan County has so little manpower and no high-tech of later generations. There is basically no effective way for the little horse thief who fled into the mountains. Therefore, the county lieutenant is very helpless.

Li An has a very understanding expression. For this situation, it is really not easy to handle. If Li An encounters this situation, I am afraid that it will take a lot of effort.

“This Official understands that the mountains in Wenchuan are too large, and 3 small hair thieves can hide anywhere, and it ’s really not easy to find that searching the mountains will not have much effect. The hair thieves can hide in the mountains, on the terrain of the mountains. It must be the most familiar. As long as they refuse to come out, Soshan ca n’t catch them. These hairy thieves are as slippery as loach! Haha! “

Li An said with a smile, to give the county lieutenant a little face, let him not blame himself too much.

“Minister Li, What’s hard, direct a torch to burn the mountain not on the line, look at these son of a bitch where to hide, hahaha!”

Chen Long laughed and said with a smile.

Obviously, Chen Long is joking, the mountains ca n’t be burned casually, whether it ’s trees, medicine ingredients, or prey, the resources of these all are Imperial Court are the basis for the survival of the nearby 100 old surnames, if it is a big torch The mountain was burned, then many old 100 surnames in the vicinity will be greatly affected. The hunter will finish first, no prey can be beaten, the livelihood of the hunter will be gone, let alone the woodman, let alone the woodcutter The husband will lose the source of life, and the medicine collector will also follow bad luck. The most precious thing in the mountains is medicine ingredients. Without medicine ingredients, people who rely on medicine for their livelihood will also become people who have no life.

In short, the burning area of ​​burning mountain is too large. This is not a county-level official can decide. It must be ordered by the Imperial Court in order to implement burning mountain. Generally, this situation occurs, and it must be that the situation is very serious. In order to fight against a few little hair thieves, I went to burn the mountain, which obviously does not work.

The county officer hearing this was stunned for a while. Even though laughed heartily, he was not a fool. Naturally, he understood that Chen Long was joking, and he didn’t really want to burn the mountain.

For the few hairy thieves in the mountains of Wenchuan County, Li An does not take seriously. This kind of thing is found in almost all remote counties, and it is also a headache for Imperial Court. For this situation, in fact, Imperial Court is also not a very good way. It is generally a reward for catching, publicly giving a certain amount, who can capture the thief, this amount will be awarded to whom, this profession was called a bounty hunter in ancient times, that is, holding the Imperial Court A group of knight-errants who work with money are also some people with a sense of justice.

The bounty hunter profession is still very old. It seems that there has been a profession when human civilization appeared. When it first appeared, it is impossible to verify. In short, it is a very old profession.

However, the bounty hunters also have to eat, so if the price is not enough to make people tempted, this job is only afraid that no one is willing to take it. In addition, some more fierce and fierce thieves need to pay a higher price. Someone will pick it up. After all, no one wants to do something at the risk of mortal danger for a little money.

Wenchuan County is a relatively poor county, and the thieves hiding in the mountains are also very harmful and dangerous. Therefore, the price that can be offered will not be very high, and too little bounty simply does not allow bounty. The hunter is tempted. At least the bounty hunter with strong ability can’t look down on such a bounty, and the bounty hunter with ordinary ability may not be able to catch the hair thief, so the hair thief here has always existed and has not been completely Destroyed, and even if all the thieves are eliminated, this cannot be considered everything is fine, because new thieves will continue to appear.

Of course, since Imperial Court ca n’t afford any money, it can also be solved by the bureaucracy in the establishment, but the problem is that these bureaucrats are also eaten together, and let them spare their lives to catch the thieves, it is simply a delusion, every day. It ’s not good to fight with the thunderbolt. Why do you have to work hard? Life is always yours. If you lose your life, you will have nothing. Moreover, most of the bureaucratic not at all wage income, there is no benefit, who will Willing to work hard,

The bounty hunter has no fixed salary and is not under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Court. If you do n’t try hard, you may not even be able to eat meals. Therefore, the bounty hunter is more motivated than the government, but they will also weigh the pros and cons. It depends on whether the task is cost-effective or not.

“Who dares to set fire to the mountain and grab it directly to be a prison, hahaha!”

Li An said with a smile.

Unconsciously arrived in the county town, because it is just a very small county town, so the city gate is not very big, there is a feeling of disrepair, maybe a large rainstorm, the city gate will collapse.

“This city gate hasn’t been repaired in a long time, won’t it collapse!”

Li An said with some concern.

The county lieutenant said quickly: “No, it has always been like this, it has been for several decades, and it has not collapsed, rest assured! It will not collapse.”

The government officials on the side said: “We Wenchuan County is too poor. It costs a lot of money to repair the city gate, and the county government does not have so much money. If they are all used to repair the city gate, the county’s salaries will not be able to afford it.”

In other words, it is not that they did not deliberately not repair, but because Wenchuan County was too poor, the county government did not have so much money to repair the damaged city gate building, otherwise it would affect the salary of the county government officials.

Such a small county town has a small population of only a few thousand people. Because it is not in a strategic position, there is no long-term garrison in the county town, but the garrison in the state town occasionally comes over to show that it is Great Tang. In places under Imperial Court jurisdiction, most of the time, the county has no soldiers and soldiers, and the responsibility for guarding the county falls on the bureaucracy, which is a kind of ancient servitude.

In such a small county, there are less than 100 people in all government services. Among them, only 20 people can receive salaries, and the remaining 80 people are all white laborers, that is, they work only without any salary. If everyone pays, the county government’s burden will be too heavy.

Of course, the 20 bureaucrats who can receive wages are all serving for a long time, and there are also some people with outstanding abilities, and the 80 bureaucracies without wages are all temporarily selected from the old 100 surnames, and they take turns. Service, after all, when there is no army stationed, the county still needs to be guarded. Although these temporary patchwork battle strengths are very general, it is more than enough to deal with some people who are mean people who resort to petty tricks. As a support for the wall, as long as the opponent is not a professional army, it is difficult to break the city wall. The ability to protect the county is still available. If you encounter a very powerful enemy, the state city and nearby troops will come to rebel.

At this time, at the dilapidated city gate, there are 6 bureaucrats on duty, and 4 can still be seen upstairs in the city gate. These 4 bureaucrats also carry bows and arrows. It is still very deterrent to the average hair thief. .

There are four city gates in the county town of Wenchuan County. However, usually only two city gates are open, and the remaining two are blocked. This can also reduce some defense pressure. Open city gates need at least It can be maintained by more than ten people, and only 4 or 2 people are required to patrol the city wall on the closed city gate, which can save half of the manpower.

In this way, only thirty-forty people are needed to defend the government of the city wall. At this time, out of business, the county lieutenant led more than 30 people. That is to say, there are still about 30 people in the city. They have some Patrolling the streets, some guarding in the county government, can basically meet the basic operation of a county.
