Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 713 Other than Salary
After leaving the agricultural machinery field, everyone began to pay attention to the surrounding countryside.Only then did they discover that the entire Luohe Valley had been turned into a rural area under Ying Tiansi's rule.unwilling to participate.was moved to another area.

In Wang Xiaolie's plan, the Luoshui Valley is where heavy industry and military industry are concentrated, and the military academy is also here.Under the rule of Ying Tiansi, security and confidentiality are much easier.During the Tang Dynasty, there were two Beijing post roads passing by here, and it was very prosperous, with many counties.But now, there are not many people, and the relocation will not cost much.There are villages newly established by Yingtian Division, but it costs more money.

As we approached Luoyang City, we saw many families growing taro near Luoshui.This season, many people are weeding in the fields.After noticing it, everyone discovered that now people no longer use hoes to weed, but use oxen to pull the cultivator shovel, which is much more convenient.

Couldn't help it, everyone got off their horses and went to the side of the field to watch.

After looking at it for a while, Zheng Gang said: "If agricultural machinery and tools are booming, farming will not be the same in the future. It is not difficult for a family to plant fifty or sixty acres, or even a hundred acres. At that time, the price of food will definitely be cheaper. What's so difficult about the prosperity?"

The others listened and nodded together.

When they first arrived in the Luohe Valley, everyone didn't feel anything.I feel the same as the previous days, just take a look.Even when I first visited the factory, I still felt unaccustomed and looked down upon them.After visiting the entire industrial chain, the feeling is completely different.Everyone understands that if the factories here are producing at full capacity and the products are sold, the impact on society will be great.

In the evening, everyone returned to their residences.Not long after, people from Henan Prefecture came, saying that in three days everyone was going to study at the school set up in Anzhongfang.Special notice to everyone to wear official uniforms that day, to be neat and tidy, and to behave properly.

After seeing off the visitor, Li Hui said to Zheng Gang: "Brother Zheng, you said such an important matter, will Xuanfu come?"

Zheng Gangzhong said: "Should come. Dozens of officials are enrolled, and it is no small matter where they are placed."

Li Huidao: "I thought I should come. It's been two months since Luoyang, and we haven't seen Xuanfu a few times. It is said that there is a shortage of officials and officials in West Jing Road, and Xuanfu will not ignore us. "

Zheng Gang said: "Which one is sure about this kind of thing? Anyway, it's only three days, just wait."

After being selected as a Jinshi, if you want to become an official, the Tang Dynasty still has a selection test.In the Song Dynasty, as long as he was a Jinshi on the official list, he could become an official, and there were still several months of training.Here, Wang Xiaolie directly wants to open a school, which has never happened before.Fortunately, the time is not long, only three months.

Henan government office, Chen Qiudao held a teacup and looked at the scenery outside the window.After a while, he turned his head and said to Wang Xiaolie: "Xuan Fu, three days later, it will be the day when the officials who came here will enter the school. These people have been around Jingxi Road for a month or two, what do you think they will think?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Don't guess what they think, but think about what we should do. Fifty or sixty people have everything they want. Some may see hope, while others are disdainful , I think our method is not good. It doesn’t matter. As long as the teaching is good and they do things well.”

Chen Qiudao said: "If you think we can't do it well, why let them enter the school again? Just let them go back."

Wang Xiaolie listened and smiled and said: "Consultant, you can't think like this. People have various ideas when doing things, and there are various ways to do them well. It's normal. We select officials and select talents. Do things well, not just think the same as us. Our ideas are used well now, but when we encounter new things, that’s not necessarily the case. Those who think we can’t do it may be wrong now, and one day in the future. That's right."

When Chen Qiudao heard this, he couldn't help frowning.He said: "If this is the case, how do we know that this person can do it and that person can't? Like-minded people can get twice the result with half the effort. If they think differently, political affairs will be messed up!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Whether you do a good job or not, there are naturally standards. We select people according to the standards, not according to everyone's ideas. The so-called like-minded, your way is correct, and naturally get twice the result with half the effort. It’s wrong, it’s twice the result with half the effort. Officials don’t just earn wages to eat, but do things well. It’s not a problem just to earn wages to eat. Because apart from salaries, the meaning of officials is somewhat similar to God. They just think about earning wages to eat. People who have nothing to do with the rewards we give to officials other than salaries, what else can we say?"

"What is the reward other than salary?" Chen Qiudao was at a loss after hearing this.

Wang Xiaolie said: "The sage uses the divine way to teach. Apart from the salary, it is naturally the content of the divine way."

Chen Qiudao nodded, and understood what Wang Xiaolie meant, but he didn't understand what he was talking about.

"Yi" said that the divine way of observing the sky, but the four seasons are not indifferent, the sage teaches with the divine way, and the world obeys.As soon as later generations saw the word Shinto, many people thought of feudal superstition, ghosts and gods, and deception.Regardless of whether it is for or against, many words are immediately produced.

Shinto is Shinto, and "Yi" is not a book about ghosts and gods. Thinking about ghosts and gods is what later generations think about.

As an official, to govern the people, there is a part of God in itself.If the God part is removed, and being an official is only regarded as a tool to seek a high position and rich salary, the official will become vulgar.Whether vulgarization is good or not is another question.

The teaching of Shinto is naturally not a high-ranking official and a generous salary, but another method.This method, together with the salaries and promotions of officials, can manage officials relatively completely.In later generations, there are also honorary titles and various models. If you change your name, many people will not recognize it.

How can it be possible for all officials to conform to moral standards and be strict with themselves?Since it's impossible, don't worry about it.It is of course possible to think that being an official is just to earn a salary and give the family a happy life.It’s just that the path set up by Shinto has nothing to do with you, as long as you don’t complain.

The same work in the government, the same salary, why separate officials and officials?Because officials have requirements other than doing things, they need Shinto teaching.As for officials, they only need to do things well, and they have no responsibility in this regard.Once there is no Shinto teaching, the official becomes an official, and the official becomes an official.

Seeing that Chen Qiudao was confused, Wang Xiaolie said: "Since ancient times, those good officials will be built temples for them, and even commemorate them forever. This dynasty established the country, visited the descendants of the sages of the previous dynasty, and offered incense to their ancestors. All these It’s Shinto teaching, and there are various methods. It’s just that for thousands of years in the past three generations, how many people have made people willing to set up temples to pay homage? It can be seen that most officials just do things to get salaries.”

Speaking of this, Wang Xiaolie suddenly remembered his previous life.It seems that no matter who is famous in that era, as long as he has a little reputation, no matter whether it is a good reputation or a bad reputation, someone will build a memorial hall.There are even some people who are keen to reverse the case of someone with a bad reputation.What is this?It's actually quite interesting.

After listening to Wang Xiaolie's explanation, Chen Qiudao generally understood.It's just that in the past, Wang Xiaolie's Shinto teachings did not have any certain rules, and there were not many restrictions on officials.I don't know what method Wang Xiaolie will use to manage officials?

(I have something to do today, only one update, sorry.)
