在秦简中,冗吏是政府编制外从事各种庶务的吏员。他虽然和政府正式吏员相对,但二者可以互相流动。冗吏主要承担“史”和“佐”两种职位的工作。冗吏的政治身份、年龄甚至籍贯都有一定的要求。冗吏和其长官之间联系并不密切。在其后的历史中,其身份逐渐卑微化。 In the Qin dynasty, redundant officials are officials who are engaged in various general affairs outside the government. Although he is opposed to the official government clerk, both can flow to each other. The redundant officials mainly undertake the work of two positions: “history” and “zuo”. Redoubt official political identity, age and even native place have certain requirements. The relationship between the officer and his officials is not close. In subsequent history, his identity gradually became less and less.
