Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 483 Officials and servants ([-])
Seeing everyone's expressions, Wang Xiaolie smiled.Said: "I have thought about this problem for a long time, and I have thought about various methods. In the end, I found that if you want to govern the world well, the most useful thing is to manage the officials well. Of course, such high demands on officials are a test of governance. To put it bluntly, as long as the rulers and officials lose their ideals, everything will become nothingness. How long can our ideals last? God knows. No matter what , it’s up to us to start.”

Having said that, Wang Xiaolie sighed helplessly.

Maintaining an ideal is a difficult thing, and most people even think it is impossible.Even Wang Xiaohun himself was beating drums in his heart.But apart from this method, any other method is unreliable.

Some people think that the system can be relied on.It sounds logical, but there is no such system in ancient and modern China and abroad.How can people believe that something that only exists in theory does not exist in reality?What's more, it is theory, and no system can maintain prosperity for a long time.Learning must not be divorced from practice.It cannot be said that practice is not important, and that is not important, but my theory is the most important.

With a good system, the society can function well even if an individual becomes an official at will.Such words are nothing but deceit.As long as officials become corrupt as a whole, society as a whole cannot recover from its downward trend.

The core of politics is officials.If we give up the supervision of officials, we will inevitably face chaos.This kind of chaos cannot be saved by any system, it can only degenerate step by step.

Just, how long can your ideal last?ten years?Or 20 years?Or a lifetime?If you leave by yourself, can the next generation still stick to their ideals?What about the next generation?God knows how long.

At least, the people in the world can live a relatively happy life when I am here.If you can't even do this, it's a joke to say that it can last forever.I can't guarantee how it will end, but I can decide how to start it.

He raised his head and looked at the crowd.Wang Xiaolie said: "After entering the school, I finally found out that I can't be an official. Or I became an official and was suddenly dismissed. If this is the case, many people can't accept it. To put it bluntly, it is so difficult to be an official. How many people Willing to come to study? It won’t be long before this school will not be able to recruit students. Therefore, for those who study normally in the school and are the least able to become officials. There are still people who have not made serious mistakes but are just not suitable for officials. There are resettlement measures. There are several ways. One is not to be an official, but to be an official. Although the salary of an official is far lower than that of an official, the requirements are not high. As long as you work hard, you can support your family. I don’t want to be an official Yes, it can be arranged by the government to enter a special school and do other things after finishing your studies. We are different from before. There are many factories and shopping malls, and people are needed everywhere. Only by making good arrangements for those who leave Those who are officials feel at ease, so that they don't have to worry about retreating."

Saying this sentence was beyond everyone's expectation, and they looked up at Wang Xiaolie together.

Wang Xiaolie said: "In the past, being dismissed from office as a civilian would have been a very severe punishment. If you added the pursuit of writing since birth, basically this person would have no future in politics. In this world, how can you only be an official? What about a way out? There are many ways out. Our system is only to select those who are suitable to be officials and let them be officials. Those who are not suitable to be officials have not made any mistakes. Naturally, they have their own way of life. It must be arranged properly, so that everyone can't be trembling when they are officials. I will personally handle this matter now, so you can rest assured."

A group of students let out a sigh of relief, looked at the people around them, and thought to themselves that they were lucky.

I heard Wang Xiaolie say how high the requirements of the officials were, and everyone was frightened.In the end, I found out that even if I can't become an official, there are still other ways to get into this school, so everyone is relieved.

Wang Xiaolie has no musical talent, and doesn't listen to music very much.It’s just that when I hear a song occasionally, I think it sounds good, and I will listen to it.His favorite foreign song in his previous life was "Scarborough Fair".What is the meaning of this song and how well it is sung, Wang Xiaolie couldn't tell.It was just the slight melancholy in the song that moved him.

Are you doing it right?In fact, Wang Xiaolie didn't know.You can only do your best.Even if you don't do well, at least try your best.Whether it is success or failure, I have at least left an ideal to this world.

Many of the things learned in previous lives are very useful.But only how to govern the country is not taught much.Whether it is learned in the classroom or outside the classroom, it is really unreliable.Most of that knowledge was translated from Western scholars.Divided into various genres, fighting each other.No matter what genre it is, if it is used for verification and practice, the result is regrettable.

Some people say that the system of this country is good, while others say that the system of that country is good, and there are various reasons for each.But which system is better?Who can tell.After seeing a lot, the only reliable thing is that officials must manage it well.

The United States once dominated the world and ran amok.But as time passed, it slowly started to go downhill.Going downhill is not terrible, what is terrible is that there is no end to downhill.Whether it's a system or an implementation issue, Wang Xiaolie doesn't think it's important.But when the head of the CIA said, "We lie, we cheat, we steal, and we have a course dedicated to teaching these. This is the glory of America's continuous exploration and progress." Only then did Wang Xiaolie feel that this country really It's over.

People who are not noble do not do things that are not mean, and they do.It's just that when they do it, they know it's wrong, but they just have no choice but to do it.When you abandon the noble ideals and feel that those despicable things are justified, you will step into the grave with one foot.

Wang Xiaolie often feels a kind of melancholy in the "Scarborough" fair.Sometimes, he very much wishes to wake up and return to his youth in the previous life.I would come to the door on a bright spring day, plant a peach tree on the left and an apricot tree on the right.Not to eat their fruits, but to hope that they will bloom in spring.

Coughing lightly, Wang Xiaolie continued: "What kind of country do we want to live in? What kind of government do we want to govern? Work at sunrise. Rest at sunset. Drill wells and drink. Plow The land feeds. What is the imperial power to me? For us Han people, maybe it is like this. A government cannot but collect taxes and conscripts. How can the common people rest? We can only collect taxes as little as possible and conscript as little as possible. , Don’t let the people have no rest every day, and no food and clothing. Officials in the government don’t raise those who are useless, and try to keep as little as possible.”

"It's not easy to do this. My principle is that all officials must have clear responsibilities and clear requirements. Every official is useful to the government and the people. According to this principle, there can be no grace, let alone In order to give someone a bite to eat, let him be an official. The requirements for officials must be strict. If you are not qualified, don’t do it. If you feel that you can’t adapt to such a strict management, don’t do it. People who are not suitable for being an official , Don’t treat them like criminals. It’s easy to get together and leave, and the government has to find a way for them to escape.”

"In addition to officials in the world, there are several types of people in the government system. One is officials, the other is officials, the third is servants, and the fourth is servants. Of course, there is the emperor above, but we are not talking about it. Officials and officials, It's not just that the power is different, the salary is different, the future is different, but the responsibilities are fundamentally different."

Speaking of this, Wang Xiaolie asked the officials on the side to bring up a blackboard.Pick up the chalk, draw a coordinate system on it, and then draw a curve like an inverted clock.

He said: "The function represented by this curve is a normal distribution. If you haven't studied mathematics, you may not know it. It doesn't matter. You will learn it soon after entering school. Just remember now. Two or three months ago, I Several people who study mathematics have finally figured out this function, and I will tell you today. The probability density of most things in the world is this shape, including things that our officials deal with."

However, two vertical lines are drawn on the curve.Dao: "The space between these two vertical lines is where we decide our daily affairs and follow the rules. All the officials deal with the matters in between. All the matters in between can be found in the regulations. Theoretically speaking, officials do not have any power. What they do is either in the regulations or ordered by officials. Around the vertical line and outside the vertical line, it is handled by officials. Regulations It's something that doesn't exist, it's up to the officials to decide."

"Remember, it's not that I'm a big official and you're a small official. What should be decided by me and what should be decided by you. It's that officials should decide on matters that are within the official's responsibility. If the superior is not satisfied, you can Substitution, don't teach your subordinates to do things easily."

"Using this method to distinguish officials from officials. The responsibilities are different, the authority is different, and the income is of course different. This difference determines that officials cannot be promoted from officials, but must have special channels. The imperial examination is a Kind of, we canceled Enyin, the imperial examination alone is not enough, so we added schools. After graduating from the school, after passing the examination, some of the qualified ones become officials, and some of the unqualified ones become officials. Each depends on his own ability, don't complain why he can do it Official, I will be an official. If you do well in the exam, you will also be an official."

"In addition to officials, there are also messengers who work for the government. In fact, many of our public officials in the past were messengers, which are commonly referred to as servants. Now I make a clear distinction. The so-called messengers mean that the government does not pay them salaries, but they Do things for the government on a daily basis. For example, there are guilds in general cities, and the merchants who manage the guilds are policemen. They do not receive salaries and work for the government. There are also markets in rural areas, and those who manage the bazaars are also They do not receive salaries from the government, but rely on the money collected from the market as income."

"In addition to the policemen, there are also servants. The servants are the servants who have no income and must do things for the government. For example, in addition to the land tax, farmers also have [-] laborers a year. When they serve, they are the servants."

"Different identities, have different responsibilities, and do different things. Officials are in charge of everything. Therefore, the government focuses on officials, and officials are in charge of officials, while the messengers and servants below must obey officials and officials. To be honest, as long as the officials manage well, the world will never be in chaos. If the officials do not manage well, life will only get worse day by day. I hope that everyone will go to school, study hard, and learn all the knowledge that officials need to master. .Come out of school, be a good person, be a good official, and don't let the people down."

"If we succeed, it will be the blessings of the people, and they can live happily. If I fail, many years later, the people may still remember that there used to be a group of people like us who wished to be officials and govern like this. The world. At that time, under Nine Springs, we can proudly say that we have been to this world before."
