What is Lang's official position in Daida? Three minutes to understand the official system of the Qin Dynasty

In "Big", Li Si was recommended by Prime Minister Lv Buwei and was appointed as Lang. Then Li Si stands in the palace with a halberd every day. Then the problem is coming. What is Lang's official position? Is it really just a security guard in the palace like in the TV series?

Lang is also called Lang Guan. As can be seen from the name, this is indeed a formal name rather than an ordinary security guard. Lang's status has existed throughout the ages, but he has different names in different times. For example, the functions of the Guards in the Yuan Dynasty and Qing Dynasty were similar to those of Langguan.

Langtie is uncertain, and it can reach a thousand people for a long time. Their main duty is to be responsible for the security of the palace, but they are also responsible for other affairs related to the daily activities of the emperor, such as consultants and secretaries. Lang Guan's immediate superior is Lang Zhong Ling, one of the Nine Qing Dynasties in Qing Dynasty, who is equivalent to the minister in charge of the Guards in Qing Dynasty.

Lang Guan is not a big official, but he is a promising job. Many celebrities in history rose from this position to the center of the imperial court. This is also easy to understand. After all, being a Langguan is also a manifestation of their ability, and they naturally have more opportunities to be appreciated by the emperor.

Having said that, let's talk about the official system of the Qin Dynasty. The highest official positions of the Qin Empire from the emperor to the emperor were Sangong, namely, Prime Minister, Qiu and Imperial Doctor. The Prime Minister is responsible for administration; Qiu is in charge of the military; The examiner is responsible for discipline supervision.

There are nine ministers under the three fairs: Feng Chang, Lang Zhong Ling, Wei Wei, Zong Zheng, Taifu, Tingwei, Dianke, Neishi and Shaofu. Feng Chang is responsible for ancestral temple etiquette; Langzhongling was in charge of the core guards of the court and the emperor during the patrol; Wei Wei was in charge of the peripheral guards of the imperial court and the emperor during the patrol; Zong Zheng is responsible for the affairs related to the emperor's relatives and consorts; Servants are in charge of the emperor's vehicles and horses, as well as official animal husbandry affairs; Ding Wei is in charge of judicial criminal law; Guests are responsible for foreign affairs; Manage the internal history of Xiaomi, in charge of money, grain and grain goods; Shaofu is in charge of the taxation of Shanhai Chize and the financial management of the royal family.

Sangong and Jiuqing are the central departments, assisting the emperor to manage the country's military and political affairs. Under Jiuqing, there are many official positions responsible for specific management work. For example, in addition to Lang, there are doctors who are responsible for remonstrating, and doctors who specialize in court etiquette and accept the seal of subjects. There are a large number of junior officials under the Shaofu government, such as imperial government orders and clothing orders. But for the vast majority of history lovers, it is enough to understand that the center of the Qin empire is the hierarchical relationship of "emperor-three public-nine Qing".

The Qin dynasty implemented the county system, and the highest local administrative level was the county, which is equivalent to our current province. Of course, the scale of Qin county is much smaller than that of our province now. There are three officers in the county, namely, the police chief, the censor and the county commandant. They are not subordinate to each other. We can understand it as the ancient version of the separation of powers.

The chief is the head of a county, equivalent to today's provincial party secretary and governor. The county magistrate has great power. Except for the chief officials (such as county magistrate and county magistrate), other officials of subordinate units are appointed or removed by the county magistrate himself.

Examiners are equivalent to today's chief procurator of the provincial procuratorate and secretary of the provincial discipline inspection commission. His main duty is to supervise the county magistrate and other county officials, and be responsible for the performance appraisal of these officials. In addition, Yushi can also recommend local talents to the Central Committee.

County commandant is equivalent to the commander of today's provincial military region, in charge of local garrison, public security and catching thieves.

The local administrative organs below the county level are counties. The chief executive of a county with more than 10,000 people is called the county magistrate, and the chief executive of a county with less than 10,000 people is called the county magistrate. The county magistrate (county magistrate) includes: Xian Cheng (deputy magistrate or standing deputy magistrate), county commandant (in charge of county security and thief arrest), Gong Cao (in charge of county official performance appraisal), (in charge of county document files) and warden (county warden).

County is the most basic administrative organization in the Qin Dynasty, and the villages below the county are autonomous by respected local chiefs, squires and the elderly. The so-called "imperial power does not go down to the county, and the county goes down to the clan" is like this.
