Song Wu, the county magistrate of yanggu county, is a big official. Why is Ximen Qing afraid of him?

In Water Margin, Song Wu accidentally killed a tiger in Jingyanggang on his way to visit his brother. Except for one injury, he became a tiger-fighting hero in Shiliba Township, which is well known to the local people. Seeing that Song Wu was amazing in martial arts, loyal and kind, yanggu county asked Song Wu to get a job in the county government, saying: Why don't I join you today and become the leader of this county? ?

Song Wu, who had no formal job, was certainly welcome. The magistrate of a county immediately called the company (Song Jiang was an official, equivalent to a secretary) to set up a copy, and joined Song Wu as the head of the infantry on the same day.

So, what about Song Wu? Yanggu county is in charge? How old is the officer? Enough to scare Ximen Qing?

Song Wu served? Infantry head? Not officials, officials, supernumerary.

There are great differences between officials and officials in the Northern Song Dynasty. Officials have a formal establishment, rank and salary, and generally need people with backgrounds to take up their posts, which are under the unified management of the central government, similar to today's formal civil servants and cadres of public institutions.

Collectors have no formal establishment, no grades, no salary, and no requirements for origin. Similar to today's government purchasing service posts, all departments and localities manage themselves. For example, in this case, Song Wu is in charge and the magistrate has the final say.

Song Wu, the county magistrate of yanggu county, is a big official. Why is Ximen Qing afraid of him?

The county-level public security system in the Northern Song Dynasty is quite complicated. The magistrate is equivalent to the county magistrate, and the county commandant is in charge of the deputy magistrate and the director of the public security bureau. These are all officials appointed by the central government, and the magistrate has no power to appoint them. County commandant further governs Doutou, and Doutou further governs archers, who are equivalent to the most basic police. There are 10 to 50 people in a county, and these people are not compiled.

There are very few officials at the county level, including the magistrate (magistrate), county commandant and principal book. A lot of things at the grassroots level need to rely on the masses? Official? Done.

Most of these officials are locals, with wide connections and familiar relationships. Are they similar? Local snakes? The so-called county magistrate is not as good as the current management. Without them, county officials are often unable to move in the local area, so these officials actually manage and control the grass-roots political power. Most of the heroes who eat yamen food in Water Margin are officials. Their status is humble, but their energy is not small.

Song Wu entered the officialdom as a Jianghu underworld, but he was a leader. Ancient times used to say? The county magistrate who broke the family, the prefect who killed the family? That's how officials treat Wang, a gentry like Ximen Qing, rather than ordinary officials.

Song Wu, who killed a tiger with his bare hands, was hired as the head of the army, but he was just a cheap official. The collector is not an official, and his position is lower than that of the current public security bureau chief, which is more similar to the level of the criminal police captain, equivalent to the level between the official stock and the minor course. However, there were no civil servants in those days, and the officials were officials. However, after the imperial examination, the official department was assigned to the place, which was the son of heaven's protege. The official position is very low and there is basically no establishment. It's just the appointment of officials. Officials can be hired in one word and derogated in another. Officials pay wages, which is equivalent to? Temporary workers? .

This position, for a gentry like Ximen Qing, will cause trouble at most, and is not afraid of him and Song Wu.

It is said that Master Simon runs a drugstore and pawnshop, and the profits are extremely rich. As an elite among local ruffians and hooligans, he is good at litigation and has a strong official background. At that time, he was young, rich and charming. Young people are proud of their small talents. There are many local people who are afraid of him, but few people he is afraid of. Why is he afraid of Song Wu? In fact, this is not Song Wu's position. Let's break it, break it.
