Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 352 Answers
Looking at the officials below, Wang Xiaolie suddenly felt a little tired.Not physically tired, but mentally tired.

Is governance difficult?Actually not difficult.There are many things that the government has to do. If you do the obvious things well, you are actually a qualified official.Doing well on the bright side and making other creations is a rare good official.It's so simple, why can't it be done well?The reasons are complicated.All in all, the whole political system is the most important reason for not doing well.

You must be rewarded for your merits, and you must be punished for your mistakes. It is easy to say, but how difficult it is!

When rewarding meritorious personnel, the number of places is limited, but there are many people with similar contributions.Award who?Who is not rewarded?There must be a place that everyone recognizes.Some of them, all of them considered the award.There are only a few people, and everyone thinks that they can be rewarded, or they don't need to be rewarded.But the person who makes the decision, because some people have a good relationship with him, and some people hate him.A person who annoys him, even if everyone thinks he deserves the award, will pretend to be an award or not, and finally let his award fail.People who have a good relationship with me are obviously rewarded but not rewarded, but even if there is only one place, he is still rewarded.Not to mention accepting bribes, even forming cliques, and treating the opinions of the people as the northwest wind.

Can everyone see it in this way?In most cases, it can be seen.OK to check?It is quite difficult to check.According to various regulations and regulations, it is difficult to find out that the person in charge made a mistake.What can others say about the chief officer's subjective intention?
Every mistake must be punished.In fact, if there is a real mistake, there is bound to be room for ambiguity as to what regulations should be set and how much punishment should be imposed.It is the chief officer who controls the fuzzy space.Just like rewards, the chief officer can severely punish some people according to his own likes and dislikes, while letting some people go.

Not to mention that the highest power holders also have their own cronies, people they like, and people they hate.In order to be able to firmly grasp the power, let oneself have the power of the arm, and even allow oneself to have extrajudicial power, a small group will be established.Born out of this small group, various interest groups are formed.No matter how good the system is in the face of this situation, it is useless.

Politics is actually very simple.Simplicity lies in the clear reasoning and simple practice. I don’t know how many examples in ancient and modern China and abroad can be used for reference.Politics is also very complicated, with many levels and entangled interests, involving all aspects of society.

It is difficult for people to let go of their selfishness.No matter how reasonable the system is, once it is applied to oneself, it will be extremely uncomfortable.People in power always hope to use the system to restrain others, but cannot restrain themselves.If you think this way, the people below will also think the same way.In the end, the implementation of the system was far from what was expected.At that time, I complained again, the system was not perfect, and there were no suitable talents.

Wang Xiaolie finally understood that if he wanted to be politically clear, the most important thing was to start with himself.If you can't insist on abiding by the system, what kind of method is useless.As long as you abide by the system yourself, rewards and punishments can play a real role.Rewards for meritorious deeds and punishments for demerit, as long as it can be done, complicated politics will be simple.

We always think that we are too smart, we can come up with this method, that method, we can use this person, not that person, we can reward some people, punish those people, there are endless means.But in fact, as long as you don't start from yourself, these methods are useless.

Wang Xiaolie told Chen Yuyi that everything starts with himself.As long as there is a violation of the established system, it must be pointed out.What kind of punishment should be received, Wang Xiaolie will not shirk.Those under me, as long as they violate the system, must accept punishment.

Looking at Chen Yuyi, Wang Xiaolie felt boundless emotion in his heart.Without this guarantee, Chen Yuyi would not accept this position with peace of mind.There are no fools in this world.How can there be so many good things if you want to be superior and want your subordinates to be loyal to you?Do you think you can gain people's hearts by giving others official titles, giving them more money, letting their descendants also become officials, and even letting some people join their own clique?Thinking too much.As long as the conditions are right, even loyal people will betray.

Wang Xiaolie told Chen Yuyi, I don't need you to issue a military order, you don't need your rhetoric, and you don't need you to carry the coffin to be an official. As long as you strictly supervise and do things according to the system, it is enough.

What is the use of rhetoric?Wang Xiaolie remembers that someone said that he was carrying a coffin to be an official, and he had to break through the minefields in front of him, so what happened in the end?Some people felt tears streaming down their faces, thinking that they had met Master Qingtian.Actually that's what happened.

Only by starting from ourselves and strictly implementing the system can we ensure the clarity of politics.In addition, all kinds of means and tricks, whether it is thick black studies, interest groups, secret room politics, or political marriages, are not enough to ensure political order.

Some people always think that they are extraordinarily smart, extraordinarily capable, and even extraordinarily ruthless, and that they can definitely do things that others cannot do.Holding power by yourself is not counted, but you must be high above the system and not be restrained.Not only that, but also thinking that for generations to come, children and grandchildren will hold power.Even if the world is destroyed, there cannot be any decline in one's own home.

Not to mention Emperor Zhou, Qin Shihuang ruled the world, and he wanted to pass it down from generation to generation.Be the first emperor himself, the second son, the third grandson, and pass it down from generation to generation.The results of it?Qin II died.Whether it's the emperor or the minister, whether it's the nobleman or the family, it's all the same.Even the sun in the sky is not eternal, let alone human beings?

Seeing that no one spoke, Wang Xiaolie said loudly: "This system, starting from me, must be strictly enforced! Anyone who violates the law must be punished! Someone who makes meritorious deeds must be rewarded! If the person in power is rewarded and punished unfairly, it is dereliction of duty. The eyes of the people in the world are not blind. Don’t think that you will be fearless if no one knows what you are doing. Imitate the headquarters system of the Zhenfu Commissioner. In addition to special authorizations, meetings will also be held for future political affairs and regulations. .Every meeting must have records. The chief official makes a decision, and the people participating in the meeting must express their attitudes. These meeting minutes are kept by a special person, usually the secretary in charge. No one is allowed to destroy or alter the meeting minutes, and the original must be kept. Save it. Anyone who violates this system will be dismissed from office immediately and prosecuted by the supervisory office! Please remember this system carefully!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Xiaolie glanced at the officials.Emphasizing the tone: "As an official, we must be responsible for our duties. It is impossible to exercise power without taking responsibility! Official documents of the government must be kept intact unless the system stipulates how long they are destroyed and stored. Qingli During the years, Su Shunqin was imprisoned in the Zouyuan, sold old papers and feasted guests, and was dismissed as a civilian. This case, because it was involved in the Qingli party dispute, was still discussed for many years after that. Please take this as a warning and don't do such a thing. To be an official is to be an official well. If you want to entertain guests, go home and hold a banquet! Many people say that it is not worthwhile for Su Shunqin to abolish a scholar-bureaucrat just because of a meal. Why do you receive preferential treatment from the court! It’s nothing to be free and unconstrained in everything. But in official affairs, you must be careful in everything!”

Having said that, someone's complexion changed drastically.The case of Su Shunqin was a well-known public case in the Northern Song Dynasty. Because the punishment was too heavy and it involved the Qingli party struggle, there were many discussions when the case happened.Because Su Shunqin was recommended by Fan Zhongyan, Du Yan's son-in-law, and later Fan Zhongyan was highly respected, many people complained for Su Shunqin.To be honest, the punishment for Su Shunqin was indeed severe, but it was by no means an unjust case.From this case, it can be seen how unrestrained the morale of the scholars at that time was. In the eyes of these scholars, political affairs were like child's play.

How a scholar is a matter of personal temperament, Wang Xiaolie has no intention of interfering.But officials are officials, and there must be rules.If you are not burdened by money and don't want to earn this salary, you don't have to be an official.As an official, you must be cautious in your words and deeds.

Looking at the expressions of the people, Wang Xiaolie said: "To be an official, you should not be clever. To be an official, you must be wise. You must make contributions to the country and benefit the people, and don't just think about your own affairs. To the officials A relatively high salary allows them to relax and do what they want to do outside of official business. It is relatively high-level requirements, so that they should be careful in their official duties and not miss their official duties."

Speaking of this, Wang Xiaolie could tell that the officials below were already terrified.He stopped talking and said, "That's all for today. You should stay in Xiangyang first. In the past few days, Chen Qiudao and Chen Yuyi, the envoys of Zhenfu, will discuss with you the regulations of the prefectures and counties, and how to do things in the future. After the discussion is proficient, everyone will go back to the administration and tell the others. Let's go."

Everyone dispersed one after another, no one spoke, and the scene was a little silent.A gust of cool wind blows, blowing on the body, a little cool.Wang Xiaolie shivered violently, and suddenly realized that autumn had already arrived.

Looking at the people leaving, Wang Xiaolie suddenly felt that these people were far away, as if they were not in the same world as him.For a moment, I was in a trance, as if I was a person from outside this world, looking at all living beings.

At this time, I suddenly remembered the face painting of the Armageddon.At the time of the war, how many people thought that they had found the reason to save the country and the people?How many people think that they have found the truth?How many people just want to save the country and the people, and how many people are willing to dedicate their lives to the truth
In the end, he decided to start from himself and strictly manage politics. Wang Xiaolie was affected by this memory
There are always people who think they are smart and think that the old China does not need to be saved in this way.What would you do if you were asked to go back?Many people will choose to be warlords, develop their regions, buy guns and cannons, or even make guns and cannons, and develop to dominate the world.Even as an emperor, as long as he foresees the general trend of the world and takes the first step, China will inevitably rise again and become a world power.This road is too bitter, and it may not be the right one in the end.It's just saving China, so why suffer so much.

But if the most intelligent and capable Chinese people have worked hard and exhausted all their ingenuity, they can only go that way. What kind of gods and characters are needed to make it easier?There are even some people who feel that they want to be Li Hongzhang and those who have been knocked down.I feel that with my own ingenuity, such a status is enough.And while saving China, it didn't delay my own enjoyment.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaolie sighed.In fact, there are not so many answers, just one.If you want to succeed, you must first let go of yourself.Thinking that you are smart is just because you are not smart, nothing else.
