In Qing dynasty, touts assisted officials in dealing with problems. Many officials can't live without touts for a while, so touts sometimes have great power. Favourite assists officials in collecting grain and paying taxes, writing documents and spending various expenses. Just like officials and bureaucrats, some minions set up cards and take bribes in private, so minions earn a lot of money.

In the Qing dynasty, masters were very common. They follow officials and become invisible power holders. This kind of acting as an official has also brought many disadvantages. In many places, there has been an unhealthy trend of making government affairs public. There is a saying in the Qing dynasty that there is no curtain and no official. This curtain refers to Mubin, which means that a yamen can't be called a yamen without something touted. Visible, a tout is also a very important existence.

In the Qing dynasty, there were thousands of yamen from the governor to the counties. According to the average of five touts in each yamen, there are tens of thousands of touts in the country. However, this tout also needs to be capable, and quite a Tout must learn something. They need to learn a lot, including collecting money, paying taxes, spending all kinds of expenses and writing all kinds of documents, which are the most basic skills as a tout.

Some touts secretly communicate and make friends from top to bottom, forming a force that even officials can't control. Favourite is also divided into several positions, of which Mr. Qian Gu is the best. They are in charge of money and grain rights, and their income is several times that of other touts. There are also touts with nice names. As long as they know the case, they will catch the money. They were all behind the scenes when they solved the case. Sometimes the defendant and the plaintiff pay each other, and whoever has more money will get it.
