The position of officials is lower than that of officials.

Quote: In the fifth episode of "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", "Bao Gong went out of the restaurant later, but before he arrived in the county, three classes of officials, clerks, etc. had already greeted him."
Example
1. This class leader is the class leader of Station Class in Hsinchu County, and he is one of the leaders of Class Three.
2. The courtiers were interested in exploring, but they saw five military horses at the door. They knew that it must be related to the army. Everyone knew that Dong Zongben had lost face a few days ago, so he dared not teach himself, and quickly reported to the secretariat.
3. Wu Dalang went to Qinghe County day and night, and Xie Xi took people to meet him 5 miles away from the county seat, with a police car escorting him.
yamen is a derivative of yamen. As the name implies, it is called "the servant in yamen", also called "professional servant", and it is also called "tolerance" by ordinary people.
The chief servant was originally a handyman in the yamen. Since the Song Dynasty, the official has become a special "post" in the yamen. The chief is generally divided into two classes, internal and external, and the internal class is serving in the yamen, such as the doorman.
The main duty of door servants is to help the yamen's official business. They are the personal attendants and slaves of yamen officials, but they are different from ordinary slaves. They have no personal attachment and are free to choose their masters. When outsiders come into contact with government officials, they must go through them. Therefore, they often take advantage of this to make extra money.
