After Zhao Bing came to this world, he became an official. In order to facilitate work, he also made up for some of the social structure and administrative systems of this era. After the founding of the government, he dealt with official documents every day and with the teachings of three teachers, he understood the way of rule and system of the Song Dynasty.

In the prefectures and county governments in the Song Dynasty, in addition to the officials appointed by the central government, there were also a large number of officials. In the prefecture-level government, there were Kongmu officials, seizure officials, demolition officials, escort officials, grain officials, etc.; in the county government, there were guards, record officials, hand-divided officials, etc.; below the county, there were guards, record officials, hand-divided officials, etc., and below the county, there were towns and lis, where the government sent the landlords from rural areas to serve as the chief of the household, the chief of the household, and the chief of the household. The chief of the household was responsible for "supervising taxes". The chief of the elders was responsible for "catching thieves". In short, these village officials were also regarded as the grassroots minor officials in the bureaucratic system. From this, it can be seen that officials are an important and cannot be ignored part of the ruling group. It has many names, and its main responsibilities are to collect taxes and handle prison lawsuits.

Some of the sources of officials are recruitment, some are sentencing, and some are hereditary, and the father dies and the son succeeds. However, most of them are selected from the situation. According to the Song Dynasty system, rural households must serve as officials, that is, officials, and they serve as public officials in prefectures and counties or grassroots governments. During their rotation service, they were upgraded from flat households to flat households, and after retirement, they were demoted to flat households. Although the standards for division of households in various places are different, rural households often have more than hundreds of acres of land, according to modern terms, they are landlords and rich peasants.

From this we can see that the situation households were the basis of the rule of the Song Dynasty. The emperor relied on court officials to govern the country, local officials and situation households to manage the country, and safeguarded the people. In law, the officials in the situation households had no specific rights, whether it was round or voluntary vote, and most of them had no money to hire. After the recruitment law was implemented, officials such as the Promotion Office paid more salaries, but the standards were very low, while most public officials, such as stumbled heads and douzi, still did not hire money. Moreover, the officials lacked effective incentive policies such as assessment and promotion, and had fewer opportunities to go to the office. Therefore, they acted as clerks and were regarded as a heavy burden by the superior households.

These clerks undertake heavy tasks, and once they have transgressions and punishments are heavy. The treatment is meager, they try to take harsh measures, take advantage of the opportunity to do private fraud, or assist the superiors in committing crimes and seek profit from it. Therefore, on the one hand, they are blackmailed and despised by superior officials, and even lose their money for it. But on the other hand, they use power to play power and make money in the countryside. These two phenomena also reflect the characteristics of traditional Chinese grassroots administration.

If you can't figure it out, you can imagine "Water Margin". Song Jiang was born in a household and was conquered by the government and served as the jail office. He had no salary, but he lived a good life and had spare money to support the outdoor room. When he encountered a "hero", he would often have dozens of taels of silver to win the reputation of timely rain in the world. You can imagine that his boss, the county magistrate, had a monthly salary of only about 30 kcal. Where did he get so much money? The income of his family's 100 acres of land probably wouldn't stand his squandering. Think about it, the way to make money was only one way - to use power to make money and plunder the people.

Chao Gai was a fellow villager of Song Jiang and a minor official, but his status was even lower, and he was just a private official. During the reign of Emperor Shenzong, the Baojia Law was implemented, which stipulated that every five households were one insurance, fifty households were one major insurance, and five hundred households were one capital, and there were respectively the chief of the chief, the chief of the chief of the chief of the capital, and the deputy chief of the capital. He was in charge of a village, probably a chief of the capital, and was responsible for urging money to dispatch workers and arresting thieves. Even so, the minor official could call the wind and rain in the village, and could send villagers to his home to help with workers for free, leading the village soldiers to arrest people at will. Even if he committed a crime, he could coerce a group of people to kill officials and rebel. This shows that this official is really not big, but the energy is really not small!

Some people say that modern China is a human relationship society, but in fact, it was even worse in the Song Dynasty, which was in an agricultural society. In this way, it was inevitable to open the back door to talk about relationships. These officials at the bottom of the administrative system held the power to collect taxes, distribute money and work, and some people would exempt relatives and friends from performing labor service, and would give the other party a small green light to escape after receiving gifts. Who among the villagers in the countryside knows what happened? Such unfair things will always be born, which will make others think, turn to passive confrontation, or even direct confrontation.

In addition, in this era where manpower is the main force and lacks medical treatment, whether as a village soldier or a civilian, it is life-threatening to accept recruitment, and it is possible that you will not be able to come back if you go. In addition, labor service not only requires you to contribute money and efforts, but also often lose livestock and tools, but you can only bear the losses yourself. In addition, labor service is not only quite hard, but may delay farm work, which can be said to be laborious. Finally, once you accept recruitment, you will leave your hometown. How willing are small farmers who like to travel around at your doorstep?

Therefore, Zhao Bing felt that it was human nature to the people to escape, but not only must he defend Qiongzhou, but also to build Qiongzhou in the future, it is impossible to complete without the support of the people. Therefore, he must have strong control and mobilization effect on human and material resources in order to mobilize huge human and material resources. However, administrative orders and coercive means are sometimes impossible to achieve, which requires the re-establishment of a strict grassroots regime system. Now that the root cause is found, how to solve it is the key...

Now the rectification of the Qiongzhou officialdom has entered the final stage. Those who stand in the pit and do not shit, stretch their hands everywhere, and those who eat and have nothing to do have to die have been cleaned up. Zhao Bing knew that the good of the chief official was just the beginning. No matter how capable he was, he would not be able to do everything himself, otherwise he would not be able to complete it even if he was exhausted. Therefore, a large amount of specific work still needs to be done with the help of officials from the upper and lower leagues. However, if no changes are made, the old rules are still adopted to recruit officials. As a result, the same mistake will be repeated in a few days, so the existing system must be reformed.
