Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 769 Liars
Back at the residence that day, Wang Xiaolie drank a little wine and went to bed early.The life of a newlywed is rich and colorful, and naturally it cannot be compared with usual.

Arriving at the government office the next day, after dealing with some official documents, Wang Xiaolie specially selected official documents on public security in the city to read.After watching it for a while, I have a rough idea.

Like the places near the Department of Landscape Architecture, some fleeing people have recently moved in.These people also have no assets and no livelihood, which makes the Henan government a headache.Although as the residence of the Xuanfu Division, the Henan government spent a lot of money to give porridge and clothes nearby, but it couldn't solve the root cause.

Putting down the official document, Wang Xiaolie stood up and looked out the window.

It was already early winter, and the wind picked up, making the weather significantly colder.The soldiers are busy repairing the fire path, and the official hall is about to start a fire.

The leaves on the tree have fallen and become bare.Only a few pine trees remain green.A piece of peony was planted and the branches were cut off, leaving only a small stump on the ground. It is said that it will grow well in the coming year.

Looking at the scenery in early winter, Wang Xiaolie thought about how to deal with the security in the city.

Wang Xiaolie once said that officials should understand a little statistics and learn to use statistical methods to deal with social affairs.Now that I think about it, that's right.

What are the various affairs in society like?Simply put, although things in society are done by individual people, they show statistical laws.why?Wang Xiaolie couldn't tell.

How can things be explained clearly in this world?Human beings still know too little and don't know too much.

For things in the world, human beings will measure, form definitions, form various theories, and communicate with each other.When measuring, people get a measured value to approximate the true value.Humans will never know what the real value is, only the measured value is known.At this time, how to treat this measured value becomes a problem.In other words, it is a problem that Western civilization thinks.

That's what they mean by rationality.A measured value, and a real value, which one is the original appearance of the world.

The Chinese preach.The characteristic of Tao is that I understand the existence of Tao, but I don’t know what this Tao looks like.Just like we measure an object, measuring the temperature will give a value, but this value is always approximate, and the more precise the means used, the closer to the real value.But the object is here, and I know that there must be a real temperature value, but I can't measure it, it can only be infinitely approximated.

Definitions, formulas, principles, etc. based on these measurements are all approximations.It's just that some approximations are more precise, others are cruder, and some are pure nonsense.What we don't know is what their relationship is in nature.

To say that China is a civilization different from that of the West is because we recognize the existence of Dao, but not pure reason.Although some people talk about pure reason, they don't know the origin of pure reason and what it is.

Basically, according to what we know now, the world is quantized.On the other hand, the individual quanta show a certain regularity, which conforms to the law of statistics.Why?have no idea.

Society is the same.It is made up of one by one, but in sociology, it shows a certain social law.The most fundamental thing, is it the individuals who make up the society, or the laws of sociology?Or, which of the two is more important and fundamental?

Wang Xiaolie believes that social laws are more important and more fundamental.However, that's not to say that individual people aren't important.No matter what science it is, don't make such an either-or judgment.In some cases, the individual is more important than the laws of society.

What do officials do?It is a person who masters social laws, controls social laws, uses social laws, and makes judgments.The ability of officials to govern depends on whether they can do this and do it well.

The law and order in Luoyang City must conform to this law.

So Wang Xiaolie couldn't see gamblers fighting in the street, so he went to rectify law and order, and even banned gambling and prostitution.Simply put, since gambling is an activity enjoyed by many people, a complete ban is unnecessary.It is to control well so that gambling activities do not affect normal life.

Regarding Luoyang's public security, what Wang Xiaolie needs to know more is what lives there, what kind of social environment it creates, and what difficulties the residents face.Starting from solving people's difficulties, solve the problem of public security fundamentally.

While Wang Xiaolie was thinking about how to solve the security problem in Luoyang, Cao Tongzhang leaned on a wooden couch in a pavilion in the backyard of Tan's Restaurant near the Landscape Department, watching the singing girls dancing in front of him.

It's a bit cold today, and the singing girls don't wear much, so they shiver with cold when they dance.The pipa player next to him had red fingers, and his cheeks were flushed from the cold.You have to keep calm, the pipa is played lively and beautifully.

After a dance, Cao Tongdan waved his hand: "You guys go down. The dance is not very good. It is a waste of my money."

Several singers said yes.They lined up in a row and made a bow, then they quit.Cao Tongzhang said to Meng Xun who was on the side: "It is said that the prosperity of Luoyang City is not inferior to that of walking. Looking at it now, it is nothing more than that. I can't dance well, I just tremble there."

Meng Xun shook his head with a smile: "Don't say that. In Luoyang City, you can enjoy it for every penny you spend, and you can enjoy it for ten cents. The best singers are naturally in places like Linglong Pavilion and Deyue Tower. Tsk, tsk , there are singers there, you can choose what you want. If you like to listen to music, there are the best singers. If you like dancing, there are the best dancers there. If you don’t like it, you like to watch girls make poses. There are also women with the best figures in the world. But, the price there is expensive. Unlike here, just a few ordinary-looking women come here to make a living."

Cao Tongzhang said: "Since there is such a good place, why didn't my brother invite me to go?"

Meng Xun took a meaningful look at Cao Tongzhang, and said, "Because my brother is not doing serious business, it's better not to go to that kind of place."

Cao Tongzhang said: "Why is it not a serious business? Gambling is also officially allowed."

Meng Xun said: "But betting like my brother, all kinds of tricks, the official will not allow. These days, you have seen all the people around you, how do you like it?"

Cao Tongzhang said: "These shops around are all newly opened, and the staff members don't have much money. For such a small amount of money, I have ruined my identity, but I don't think it's worth it. On the contrary, Cheng Yuanwai and Cheng Yuanwai, who live in Li's Inn and play daily Sun Yuanwai, do you know how their financial resources are?"

Meng Xun said: "I don't know the details of these two people, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort."

Cao Tongzhang said: "Brother, spend some time these few days to get a feel for their bottom line. This kind of non-local employees, if they have a lot of money, it is easy to start."

Meng Xun nodded: "Okay! You wait for my news!"

After hearing this, Cao Tongzhang said happily: "Drink tea, drink tea! Zhiniang thief, why is it so popular to drink loose tea in the capital? It's a lot less fun than snacks."

Meng Xun said: "It's Xuan Fusi who likes to drink it, and the official entertainment has been replaced by loose tea. The common people, they will naturally learn it."

"Hey——" Cao Tongzhang shook his head again and again, but he drank the tea with great relish.
