The topographical structure of Jinchuan Island and Jiangdao Prison, Lin Jian has long read detailed information from the Inspectorate Division, Jiangdao Prison is built within the flood peak line, and the brick and stone wall with a length of 160 zhang and a height of two zhang is enclosed in it. On the outside of the sturdy and tall brick wall, on the east, west, and north sides, another low earth wall was built, leaving a narrow space between the earthen wall and the wall, which served as a way for the changer to pass through, and also a patrol road.

The walls and feet are covered with thorns, making the entire Jiangdao prison look like a castle.

In addition to the prison cell, the prison hall was also built within the high wall, which will also be the place where Lin Jian will conduct his daily official business and life on the island in the future.

Located within the high walls, at the southern end of the cell, the Prison Hall is a complex of four courtyards. The front yard is a formal public place, and there are three main halls and four class rooms in the front yard. Different from the city prison, although there are no explicit regulations for the prison officers, prison officials, and team leaders in Jiangdao prison, they have to be on duty in the prison for a long time because of the inconvenience of traveling to and from the city, and the backyard of the middle court is the residence of the prison officials, prison officials, and team leaders. Lin Jian occupies a middle courtyard alone, and the other scribes, prison officials, and team leaders live in the backyard. The last courtyard is the military guard's courtyard, which is used by prison guards and miscellaneous servants.

There is also a tall wall between the prison hall and the cell, and behind the wall is the main building of the Enoshima prison. There is a prison temple, a worship hall, a kitchen, two outer prisons, three inner prisons, and a lower courtyard here, which is the place where the relatives of the convicted prisoners visit the prison.

Generally speaking, the prison is dedicated to the detention of felons and criminals, to facilitate the doubling of martial law, and there is a wall to enclose the inner prison at the innermost level. However, after the proposal of the prison city was rejected, the Enoshima Prison was held only by ordinary prisoners who had no money to atone for their crimes, and the entire Enojima Prison was designed and built according to the standard of 2,000 prisoners, and there were only more than 200 prisoners in the current prison, so the inner cell has been empty.

Lin Jian walked into the high wall, did not go to the front yard of the acting official business, but went directly to the middle courtyard where he would move in, because the former prison officer Ge Zuxin was busy, the middle courtyard at this time was a little messy, and two old plums were planted under the court, just when the plum blossoms were blooming, the plum blossoms on the branches were scattered to the ground, and people stepped on dozens of feet viciously.

Lin Lian took a turn in the prison hall, returned to the middle courtyard, and said with a smile to Zhao Hu beside him: "It seems that some people are not happy that we are coming......" and asked a scribe who followed them into the courtyard, "It's a pity, there is not much scenery to see in the high wall, Zhou Shuban, do you say?" ”

The other jailers and squad leaders went to perform their duties according to Lin Lian's instructions, but the handover with Ge Zuxin just now was too simple, and they were afraid of touching the new boss's bad head, so they recommended Zhou Shide, the secretary of the office, to come over and serve carefully, and explain some more detailed information about Jiangdao Prison to the new boss at any time.

In addition to the prisoners, there are more than 200 officials and miscellaneous servants in Jiangdao Prison, among which it can be said that there are two clerks, five prison heads, one miscellaneous staff leader, and two prison guards. Since it was inconvenient for prisoners to be sent to the hospital when they were sick and to call for medical treatment, there was a separate medical officer.

Zhou Shide, the secretary of the office, was born in Xiucai, and finally sought this unpopular official position, and he has been loyal to his duties for seven or eight years, but he is the most familiar with prison affairs in this Jiangdao prison, so he pushed everyone out to deal with the new boss.

Zhou Shide saw that Lin Jian had just entered the courtyard and found fault with the former prison officer, and said: "Lord Lin has thought about it a lot, it was a little windy last night, and he knew that Lord Lin was coming over today, so Lord Ge specially asked people to clean up some of this courtyard, and there were many people...... The subordinate immediately cleaned the courtyard again. ”

"Don't bother others," Lin Jian interrupted Zhou Shide's words, "Before the prison room starts, you can go in with me to inspect the prison room......"

Zhou Shide saw that Lin Lian wanted everyone to go to their own hands just now, and he suddenly proposed to go into the prison room to inspect at this time, thinking that this young boss didn't seem to be easy to serve, anyway, everyone would not slack off these days, and he was not afraid of how big a problem Lin Lian could see if he had a surprise attack, and said: "When I go down to work, I will take the prison roster and take the adult in to take a look......

When Zhou Shide came over with the prison roster, Sun Geng, another secretary general, Jiang Jin, a military soldier who was on leave today, and Sun Cunsi, the prison medical officer, all followed, Lin Jian didn't say anything, he entered the prison for the first time to take a look, if they didn't follow up, they would despise him as a new boss.

Before coming over, Lin Jian had read the lists of Zhou Shide, Changsun Geng, Jiang Jin and others, and Changsun Geng was also from Xiucai, and Jiang Jin and Cao Xian, another prison guard, were both martial arts positions of the ninth grade. The Dayue Dynasty admired literature and suppressed martial arts, not to mention that Lin Jian ate the two martial arts soldiers from the prison officer of the ninth grade to death, that is, Lin Jian was not on the island, and the two clerks Zhou Shide and Changsun Geng took turns to take charge, and it was not Jiang Jin and Cao Xian's turn.

Zhao Hu is a servant brought over by Lin Lian, not a servant in Jiangdao Prison, and it is strictly forbidden to enter the second wall as a rule.

Lin Jian didn't completely eat and live these people in Jiangdao Prison, so naturally he couldn't break the rules first, let Zhao Hu stay in the courtyard and clean up the place where they were going to spend the night today, he led Zhou Shide, Changsun Geng, and Jiang Jin to go straight to the prison cell, Cao Xian Dexin waited in front of the second door of the prison cell, except for the miscellaneous servant team leader, the other five prison team leaders were waiting in the prison cell. No matter what they thought in their hearts, their faces were very respectful and docile.

Because the prisoners were far from being full, and there were no felons, only one of the five cells was actually used, and in the A-shaped cell, the iron door was used to separate the men's and women's prisons, and they walked in the corridor of the cells, and although it was cold winter, the stench in the cells still came to the nostrils, and each room held five or six people, or seven or eight people, although it was a cold winter, the prison beds in the cells were still only covered with straw mats, and straw felt was used as bedding, and most of the winter prison clothes worn by the prisoners were torn cotton and wool, and they were dirty and greasy.

It's not that the former prison officials and the jailers are greedy, but all the prisons of the Da Yue Dynasty are like this.

The prisoners in prison were very indifferent to the new governor of Jiangdao Prison coming over, and the head of the prison team called the name before standing in front of the cell door to respond, while Zhou Shide and Changsun Geng pointed out the roster to explain to Lin Jian what crime the prisoner had committed, how many years he should be imprisoned, and how many years to be released.

The more than 200 prisoners looked at each other, and when it was time for the prison to eat, Lin Jian stood in front of the women's prison and watched the prison guards provide food to the prisoners.

Prison food was originally a major expense in the Jiangdao prison, and every year it was paid to the Xuanfu envoy as needed, two meals a day, and a copper spoon with a customized capacity of half a liter was used to feed the prisoners. Based on the calculation of 200 prisoners, about 400 stone of rice and grain are needed every year, and the food and silver of the prison guards are naturally calculated separately. It is said that prison food should be the largest expense of the Enoshima prison, but because the prison is far from full, the prison guards' food and silver far exceed the prison food.

Zhou Shide's clerks and team leaders can almost exchange twelve or three taels of silver for their annual work and food silver, ordinary jailers and miscellaneous servants can get five or six taels of silver every year, and even Lin Lian's main salary can only be exchanged for eighteen taels of snowflake silver every year.

Lin Jian tasted a mouthful of prisoner rice, which was steamed with old grains and miscellaneous millet, and it was difficult to swallow. In addition to meals, prisoners were also given a scoop of soup at each meal. Lin Jian took a spoon and scooped the soup and drank two sips, two large wooden barrels carried into the prison room with a few leafy vegetables, there was no oil star, and there was almost no saltiness after tasting two bites, Lin Jian did not say anything, returned the copper spoon to the servants, and asked the servants to feed the female prisoners in the women's cell.

These are all old rules, Lin Jian has a very thorough understanding of the prison affairs in the world from Zhao Shuhan, and the prison officials such as Zhou Shide and Changsun Geng at least dare not spend any tricks to deduct prison food when he first took office.

Lin Jian glanced at the female prisoners in the cell through the door, and compared to the indifference of the male prisoners in the men's cell, the forty or fifty female prisoners in the women's cell were even more sluggish, unkempt, and their clothes were shabby.

According to the Da Viet law, except for a few crimes such as capital crimes and rape, which require imprisonment, all other female offenders are taken back by their husbands or relatives to take care of them, mainly to prevent women from being humiliated in prison.

The Enoshima Prison does not hold death row prisoners, and most of the female prisoners are sent to the government for adultery/adultery. In addition to the head of the ward, the women's prison also has six servant wives and mothers-in-law in the prison to facilitate the supervision of the female prisoners.

Lin Jian looked at the prison room, and didn't say much, confirmed that the actual number of prisoners was correct with the roster, and then went out of the prison room, and the head of the miscellaneous servant team caught up and asked Lin Jian if he wanted to eat immediately, and he asked people to send it to the middle courtyard immediately, Lin Jian nodded and agreed, as a chief, he naturally had to enjoy some privileges, otherwise these subordinates would be uncomfortable.

Zhao Huzheng swept all the plums in the yard into the dustpan, and when he saw Lin Tie coming back, he asked, "Have you seen it?" ”

"The prisons in the world are like this, there is nothing to say for a while, and I have to watch it for two more days," Lin Jian nodded, it was difficult to figure out the situation when he first came, he pointed to the plum petals in the dustpan and said, "Don't pour these fallen plums outside, just pile them up in the corner, maybe there is some floating fragrance...... Tomorrow morning, a boat will come to the island, you go back to the city, let Lin Jingzhong allocate some silver, hire a boatman at the mouth of the Jinchuan River, and prepare a boat. ”

In order to prevent the prisoners from escaping the boat, the dock on the island prohibits the preparation of boats, Lin Jian knows that this rule is useless, the prisoners can escape from the high wall, jump into the water and swim more than a mile, they can reach the south bank of the river, why use the boat to escape? It's just that this rule needs to be changed, and it needs to be submitted to the prosecutor's department for approval first.

There is no wharf at the mouth of the Jinchuan River, and if you want to use a boat on the island, you need to send a boat regularly at the Jiuwengqiao Wharf in seventeen or eighteen miles, one place is a little farther, and then Lin Tie has an urgent matter on the island, and he can't notify the Jiuwengqiao Wharf to send a boat in time, Lin Tie wants to let Lin Jingzhong prepare a boat at the mouth of the river one mile away, even if he wants to use the boat at night, light the torch and wave it a few times, he can also transfer the boat to use.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard gate, and Lin Jian remembered that the head of the handyman team had just said that he would deliver food to the courtyard, but he felt that his steps were light and not like a man walking, and he looked back suspiciously, but saw two beautiful young women walking in with lacquer boxes, and the fragrance of food wafted out of the lacquer boxes.

"Lord Prison...... the two young women bowed to Lin Jian and said, "Du Bantou asked me to bring food to Lord Prison." He didn't need Lin Lian to tell anything, so he walked into the west wing of the restaurant with the lunch box to set up the food.

"Someone," Lin Lian frowned slightly as he watched the two beautiful young women walk into the west wing, and called the messenger on duty at the gate of the courtyard in, "Call the secretary and team leader who are not on duty to my courtyard!" ”

Zhou Shide, Changsun Geng and others rushed over in the blink of an eye, Lin Jian looked at them with a gloomy face, pointed to the two beautiful young women, and asked, "What's the matter with them?" Can a servant woman be used within the walls and outside the women's prison? ”

"My lord, you misunderstood, they are not invited servants...... "Zhou Shide hurriedly explained.

"Who are they?" Lin Lian's eyes were fixed on Zhou Shide.

"They are ......" Zhou Shide stared at Lin Tie a little weakly, and said stubbornly, "The female prisoner is in prison, and hard labor makes him repent, these two people are prisoners in the women's prison, so that calling to serve the adult is considered hard labor." ”

"Is that so? It seems that I have thought too much, there must be no rules between the high walls to let the female dependents in, if any of you want to take leave to return to the city and save your relatives, you can come to me......" Lin Bin's eyes swept over Zhou Shide, Changsun Geng, and the team leaders, and asked, "Then have you used female prisoners for hard labor?" ”

"How dare we? This is all a blessing to you, my lord. Zhou Shide saw that Lin Jian no longer pursued this matter, so he put his mind at ease, "I won't disturb the adults to eat under that position." ”

"Oh, by the way, the matter of prison food and prison clothes is the responsibility of the eldest grandson's secretary, you stay and dine with me, I have something to ask you." Lin Jian asked Changsun Geng to stay, and asked the two young women and prisoners to prepare an extra pair of dishes and chopsticks for Changsun Geng, and then retreated with the others first.

After everyone else withdrew from the courtyard, Lin Jian gave Zhao Hu a look and said, "You go to the courtyard and watch, don't let others get close to this house," put the chopsticks on the table, stared at Changsun Geng and said, "Changsun Shuban, I saw your expression just now, it seems that you have something to say to me, I will separate the others, what do you have to say to me?" ”

The eldest grandson Geng's face was still hesitant, and he said: "Those two female prisoners who were summoned to serve as hard labor are young and beautiful, and they are only called by maids, don't adults think that they are a bit of a tyrannical treasure?" ”
