Why did Arima leave Zhugu and Niushan alone? Qingdeng can also guess why.

It was probably for the purpose of discussing with the pig and the bull to discuss how to help him survive the big boss's assessment one and a half months later.

After Qingdeng's father, Ju Takayuki, died of illness, the horse, pig and cow kept taking care of Qingdeng as if he were his own. Now Qingdeng is at risk of being dismissed, and the three of them cannot ignore it or ignore it.

The friendship between the three horses, pigs and cows and the Ju family made Qingdeng sigh: "The Yuan Ju Qingdeng" left him not all a bunch of shady pots...

After following Arima's instructions and leaving his office alone, Qingdeng held the knife around his waist and strode towards Fengxing, preparing to start his work today.

When there was no case at hand to deal with, Dingmachi returned to his heart's daily work was to patrol the respective jurisdictions.

Qing Deng is now in a state where he has no case at hand, so his current job is to inspect the jurisdiction he is responsible for.

The patrol method of Dingchoong’s reunion is not to circle every corner or important place within their jurisdiction.

The reason is also very simple - insufficient staff.

Southern Fan Office and Northern Fan Office - At first glance, you may think that the former is in charge of the southern half of Edo and the latter is in charge of the northern half of Edo.

But in fact, this is not the case.

Edo is the ruling center of the Edo shogunate

As such an important city, the Edo Shogunate was worried that it would be completely managed by one person.

Therefore, the shogunate divided Edo's pursuing office into two, into the south and north quadrangles, and the two corps adopted the "moon interpretation" system.

The so-called "moon explanation" is simply to put it as two "moons" so the "moon" takes turns to manage Edo.

This month, the Northern Fan Office is responsible for Edo, and next month, it will be the Southern Fan Office is responsible for Edo.

When it was the turn of the Northern Fan Office to be in charge of Edo, what were the officials of the Southern Fan Office doing?

Take a full month of paid leave!

The holidays are ongoing until the month when the Nanfan Office is in charge of Edo comes.

Next month, when the Minamibank Office is in charge of Edo, it will be the turn of the Minamibank Office, which belongs to the Minamibank Office, to take a full month of paid leave.

Of course - "three-time" samurai like Qingdeng, due to the special work content, only if you are lucky enough can you have the opportunity to take a full month of paid leave.

It was clearly another agency that was the turn of another agency to manage Edo this month, but because he had an unprocessed case, he had to go to work. This was just a very common thing in the "three chapters" of the agency.

During the holiday, it was even more normal to be recruited due to some emergency case suddenly coming, due to insufficient staff, and to be transferred to support the current official office.

It is January now, and it is the month when the Northern Fan Institute is responsible for managing Edo, so Qingdeng, who is affiliated to the Northern Fan Institute, needs to come to work, and the officials affiliated to the Southern Fan Institute... including the "three chapters" of the Southern Fan Institute, are now basically all on vacation.

In other words, the total number of people in the "three rounds" of the Southern and Northern Fan Institute is 36. When the total police force is so scarce, unless a special convening is issued, the police force that can be dispatched every month must be discounted in half!

There will always be a bureau official taking paid leave every month, so only half of the police officers are on duty every month!

At present, only 4 people in the "Three Times" of the Beifan Institute and 14 people are responsible for maintaining Edo's public order.

As leaders, the cadres of the Tatsumachi and others will not participate in the patrol work in Edo.

Only those who participated in the patrol work were the same people who came back from Dingcho.

There are only 6 people in the Tadaichi town, so how could such a few people visit every important place in Edo?

Therefore, the dedication of the Dingchoi returned only inspected each of the individuals in their jurisdiction.

What is "self-in-one"?

This requires two special systems that can protect Edo's public security with just a little police force.

The first major system is the "City and Civil Autonomy System".

To put it simply, this system is a special "official governance system", appointing civilians and allowing civilians to manage civilians.

Under this special administrative system, the servants hired to assist in the management of Edo are roughly divided into three levels: "Machi Year-Terminal Master-Home Master".

"Machi Nian Shi" was inherited by the three families of the Tarya, Naraya and Kita Village. The job of this position is to assist the Nan and Kita Town of Edo to govern Edo.

The main tasks include: Tomachi, who communicates the shogunate and follow the instructions of the people in Edo, counts people's accounts, assists in managing merchants and craftsmen, helps collect and pay various taxes and handling fees, and various other tasks.

【Note ·People's Account: Household Registration Book from the Edo Period】

The "Main Master" is sent to the town year.

There are 264 town masters in the Edo area, each town master has jurisdiction over 2, 3 town masters, and as many as dozens of towns. The town masters are all civilians of the landlord class, and most of them are hereditary from generation to generation.

[Note·Cheng: The name of urban administrative divisions in ancient Japan. Edo in the Edo period claimed to have "Hahohachi Town", but in fact it was far more than this number. By the end of the Makuma, there were nearly 2,000 towns in Edo.]

And below the head of the town is the "head of the family".

Each town master has several to dozens of heads of family.

The task of the heads of the family is to actually manage the various towns under the rule of the town name.

Some of the heads of the house were hired by the famous heads of the town, but some of the heads of the houses were also hereditary from generation to generation.

The head of the family was sent to the town for democracy. Although the head of the family shouldered the heavy responsibility of assisting in the management of Edo, they were not officials.

The reason is also very simple: they are all civilians without swords at their waists, not warriors.

"A person who is not a samurai cannot be an official" - this is the iron rule of Japan in the Edo period.

Although he performs the function of "official", he does not have the name of "official".

From the choen years to the head of the family, their official identities are "headquarter servants" rather than officials. They are just a group of people who do odd jobs for samurai and men, at best they are a group of "officials".

The "Machi Civilian Autonomous Organization" responsible for helping manage Edo is naturally also responsible for helping the "three times" to handle cases.

If any case occurs, the head master who is responsible for managing the town will first be resolved.

If it really cannot be solved, it will be handed over to the "three chapters" of the pursuing institute for processing.

Therefore, the "three chapters" basically do not deal with ordinary civil cases.

Whose cat is lost, whose wife works with the plumber who comes to repair the water pipes, and whose wife is said to others, "Madam, don't you want your husband to lose this job, right?"... These trivial civil cases are basically left to the "Middle Civil Autonomous Organization" to handle them alone.

Only when encountering some major criminal cases that "Ministry Civil Autonomous Organization" cannot handle on their own, such as murder and theft, will the case be handed over to the "three chapters" of Fengxing Institute.

If there is a major criminal case in a certain town that must be carried out by the "Three Times", then the main master of the town who manages the town will do his best to provide assistance to the "Three Times" samurai responsible for the case.

The usual office location of the heads of the family is "self-in-law".

It can be understood as a facility that integrates the functions of modern police stations and fire departments.

In addition to placing snails, stinging forks and other catchers for arresting prisoners, there are also fire props such as team flags, fire hooks and hand-pressed fire water pumps.

The heads of the family who are responsible for managing the town basically work in their own offices.

In addition to the head of the family, there are also "book servants" and other minor officials hired by the head of the family to help with chores.

I went to visit each of my own districts and asked if there was any major incident in the town recently. If there was something happening, I would leave it to deal with it. If there was nothing happened, I would go to the next town town. The above is the patrol process of the Dingmachi returning to the hearts of my heart.

...

...

Edo, Hinatacho, its own series—

As soon as he stepped through the door, a head of the family working in this house quickly filled up formulaic smiles, rubbed his hands together, and welcomed Qingdeng.

"Ah! Lord Ju, you are here!"

"Gui'an." After greeting the head of the family, Aoden asked quickly, "His there anything major happened to Hinaga Town recently?"

"Nothing big is going on. There's just a fight." The head of the family replied, "Yesterday afternoon, the boss of the chrysanthemum started fighting with a passerby on the street because of some trivial matters."

"But because both of them were pulled apart in time, neither of them was seriously injured. I led people to mediate the first time yesterday afternoon, and now both sides have successfully reconciled."

"Yes." Qingdeng nodded softly, "It would be fine if nothing big happened."

"Mr. Juju! It's cold today. Do you want to come in and have a cup of hot tea?"

"No need." Qingdeng smiled politely at the head of the family, "This morning, it was already a lot of delayed patrol time because of the emergency meeting of the Lord."

"I still have many places that have not been inspected yet, so I dare not delay the time."

"Let's go first. If something big happens to Hinagamachi, remember to report it to Fengshen as soon as possible."

"yes!"

He was preparing to go to inspect the next Qingdeng, and then walked away with the bow of the head of the family, turned to his right and entered a lively commercial street.

"Wufu! Come and see it! The newly purchased Wufu!"

"Father! I want to buy that!"

"Get out of the way! The cart for shipping is coming! If you don't want to be hit, just move out of the way!"

...

The merchants who were busy opening shops, the coolies who were pushing goods with simple trolleys, and the vendors who were selling goods were urging hard early in the morning...

Although I have seen countless such scenes in my memory of "Haraki Jueden", Qingdeng still couldn't stop the novel gaze that burst out from her eyes.

After inspecting the streets in his jurisdiction for more than half a morning and enjoying the street scenes full of ancient style and life on the street, Qingdeng felt that his mood, which was depressed by the troubles one after another, became a little relieved.

How to deal with the "big old man's assessment" one and a half months later?

The only way to make his current terrible political achievements stand out in just one and a half months... is to solve some major and serious cases with extremely high value.
